Chapter 455 Delineation of boundaries

Chen Ping and Chang Aday now have a completely dismissal of the plague god. No matter how great Li Junwei has made to the empire, in Western Xinjiang, he is a complete plague god. With him, the two of them not only have no choice but to do anything in major matters, but also have to circle around him. And seeing that the two are about to return to Beijing, they don’t want to be entangled by the era that King Yu is provoked.

Although Li Junwei has promised to leave before the winter comes and no longer cause new trouble, Chen Ping and Chang Aday are still the same as two big ones. Now there are three problems that require him to wipe the butt of King Yu, the Sino-Indian boundary survey issue, the mediation of the Ladakh war and the civil strife in Yarkand. Each problem is inseparable from King Yu Li Junwei, so even though everyone does not like him, King Yu is still the same as a living ancestor in the two military and political officials in Yili City.

The headaches between Chen Ping and Chang Audai were very simple for Li Junwei. The Sino-Indian boundary survey problem originated from the "gentleman agreement" in the river. At Agra, the two brothers Li Junwei and Li Jundu had already reached an agreement. This autumn, when the grain harvest was bumper and the cattle and sheep were strong, the tribes in the river were loyal to Li Jundu moved south, crossed the Xingdu Kush Mountains, and moved to the subcontinent.

Li Jundu has become an emperor. Although there is a Mughal dynasty in the subcontinent, his overlord status has changed. He went south to become a master, a nobleman, and a superior. The land of the subcontinent is more fertile, and there are countless low castes to be enslaved. Migration is not a bad thing for the local tribes.

In terms of territory distribution, the two brothers of the Li family reached a general plan with the Hindu Kush Mountains as the dividing line. The land in the river and the Tochari Basin belonged to the empire, and the south of the mountain range belonged to Hindustan. However, this mountain range is too large and wide, and the detailed division is still a problem. However, in the general context, the empire owns Central Asia, while the principle of Li Jundu owning a subcontinent has not changed.

However, because the empire's border areas have a relatively low acceptance of mountain aliens, especially ethnic groups that believe in Tianfang Sect, land possession in marginal areas such as the Hindu Kush Mountains, Iranian Plateau and Caucasus Mountains, but the occupation of key areas never retreats, especially agricultural areas such as river valleys and basins that can produce a large population.

However, when the two brothers reached an agreement, Li Junwei had always kept it from the military and political chiefs in the Western Xinjiang region, just because he was worried that these two guys would solve the boundary survey issue as soon as possible and send him back to Shen Jing. So when Chen Ping and Chang Audai learned that everything had been settled, all they could do was to act within the existing framework.

However, the military and political yamen in the Western Xinjiang region were also very fast. A boundary survey committee was quickly established and sent to the main cities in the river. The purpose was to investigate local agricultural and animal husbandry resources and lay the foundation for rapid immigration. The report submitted by the committee showed that the fertile and fertile river rivers and agricultural resources were very rich. Although the agricultural level was low, there were irrigated land everywhere, and the pastures were concentrated and the water and grass were abundant.

After receiving the news, Chen Ping immediately set up a procurement department to purchase grain in major agricultural areas and winter grass in pastoral areas. The purpose is very clear. The first wave of immigrants must immediately occupy the main area as the indigenous people leave, establish order and resume production, and build support points. This is a completely trick to treat the enemy.

However, the consensus reached by Li Junwei and Li Jundu cannot represent everyone's will, and not everyone is willing to move south to the subcontinent. Li Jundu's country was a feudal regime and had a large amount of slavery remnants. The rule method similar to the military household system was implemented in the river. Therefore, most farmers and herdsmen and slaves had to go south, but the merchant class was an alien. They had a large number of industries in cities such as Samarkand and did not want to give up leaving. The attitude of the Western Xinjiang region was to accept, and the empire's acceptance of the merchant group has always been very high.

But in the river and the Tochari Basin, there is another force that is the most troublesome in accepting and exploring boundaries, that is, religious forces. They not only own temples, but also have a large amount of land and population. The religious forces themselves have a special status within the Li Jundu system. Although they knew that the empire would not accept them, religious forces that own a large amount of real estate in the local area would not give up their interests in vain. They needed compensation, so Li Jundu naturally would not give them, so these people extended their hands to the military and political yamen in the Western Xinjiang.

"Oh, Chang Aday, you are such a fool. Can you turn your head around and do some tricks? Fortunately, I discovered it early, but the local cooperation was destroyed. If the autumn harvest is over, these charlatans will instigate people to dig ditches, destroy wells, burn granaries and pastures. Then you will have no place to cry." Facing Chang Aday, who was frowning, Li Junwei looked as if he was mourning his misfortune and angry at the inconvenience of his uncontestedness.

The interests of religious forces were not satisfied, so they began to act in trouble and began to destroy the relationship between the Western Xinjiang region and the indigenous people, allowing the indigenous people not to sell food and grass to spend the winter for the immigrants, and constantly spread rumors, but Chang Ade was helpless about this. The conflict may cause chaos in the river. If Hindustan changes his mind, the bright prospects will be ruined. Even if he doesn't care about it, it will cause great losses.

Chang Aday said helplessly: "Your Highness, those people are really greedy. Houses and land acres are offered very high prices, and many other evidences such as land deeds are completely fake and fabricated out of thin air. Some lords colluded with them to transfer their land to the temple, hoping to share the benefits............."

Li Junwei shook his head helplessly: "You won't change your ideas, do you know how to accommodate them blindly?"

"What?" Chang Adayai was puzzled.

Li Junwei said: "For example, you send people from the Religious Department to accept all religious people, recognize their ownership of land and population, invite them to participate in local governance, and give them more privileges..."

"How can this be done!" Chang Adayai felt that this was self-destruction. The empire conquered the grasslands. Although he also accepted the Tianfang Cult as one of the legal religions of the empire, it was within the empire and in the border areas. Kazakhstan, Crimea and other places had changed their worlds. How could he suddenly change his policies in the river? If he did this, his career would be completely ruined.

Li Junwei was helpless: "You are really a elm-guda head. What I said was that I was just pretending to do this. First, please comfort them. When the more than 200,000 people in the river land will go south in autumn or next year, they will be left. Then close the door and settle the old accounts. By that time, what will they rely on against us? Let's see if they are hard-mouthed or your knife-wielding, that's all."

"But what if they follow the trend into our system? Your Highness Yu, you don't know that the population of Western Xinjiang now contains a large number of people from Kazakhsakhs, Crimea and other ethnic groups. Although they are spouses and slaves of the Zhasak, they are still the soil of the Tianfang Sect..." Chang Aday said in a nagging manner.

Li Junwei interrupted him directly and said, "You are afraid that your promotion will lead to inconsistent policies, right?"

Chang Adaya was directly exposed by Li Junwei and felt extremely embarrassed. In fact, this is the case. He will return to the center of the empire at the latest next year. He does not want to do many policies that require a long time. He is afraid of being involved, and secondly, he is afraid of burying mines for those who come later. Chang Adaya has worked in the imperial government for decades and is well aware of the bureaucrats' behavior.

In fact, not only the empire, but also the bureaucrats all over the world. Chang Adei believes that this is the case in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. One of the characteristics of bureaucrats is that they hope that everything will not change, nothing will happen, whether it is a good or a bad thing. If he accepted the Tianfang Sect for the sake of the difficulties in front of him, he believed that the successor would inherit this policy to avoid causing trouble.

Li Junwei smiled and hooked his hand to Chang Adaye, saying, "Old Chang, come on, I'll give you a bad idea."

Chang Adae's face turned dark. The ideas that King Yu came up with were always very useful, but they were always very bad. This is what everyone knows.

Li Junwei waited Chang Adaye approached and said, "You, when you promise those charlatans, the more generous they are, the better. Aren't they three taels of silver per acre? You pay a price of fifty taels, but just promise not to give it, delay it, and stabilize their emotions."

"This...didn't this lay a bigger thunder for later generations? The finances of Xijiang are already tight, so how can we agree to better conditions?" Chang Adayai said, but thought to himself that he is worthy of being His Highness Yu, and it is indeed another bad idea.

Li Junwei said proudly: "Yes, isn't this good? You think your successor can only solve the problem when he sees you have made so many bad debts for him. Otherwise, he will not be able to sit steadily in the position of Minister in Xinjiang. But you also said that the financial side cannot be solved at all, so what should I do?

Then another bureaucratic solution will reappear. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved, you will solve the people who create the problems. Isn’t that the end of it?"

Chang Audai nodded. He was sure that the final outcome must be like this. Instead of trying hard to raise money, the successor would raise a butcher knife to solve these people who created the problem. But Chang Audai knew better that after the successor found the mess he left behind, he would definitely scold his mother. Who would scold him? Anyway, he would not scold this person's mother, but his mother was scolding him.

"Leaving the problem to later generations is really..." Chang Adaye was a little hesitant.

Li Junwei smiled: "What are you afraid of? You will take over as the president of the Lifan Academy when you go back. You are the Shangguan of the successor. Are you still worried about these bullshit things? Don't worry about doing it boldly."

Lhasa, Potala Palace.

Dozens of monks in red and yellow hats were divided into two shifts, sitting cross-legged on the futon, each chanting the Buddha's name. Sometimes, someone opened his eyes and looked at the young man sitting on the main seat. This man was the master's Diba, the general manager, and the highest chief executive in the Huang Cult, Sang Jie Gyatso.

Some people say that Sang Jie Gyatso is the illegitimate son of the master, but no matter what, it was the master who pushed him to the position of Diba. Because of this period of time, Sang Jie Gyatso's superiors refused to see the monks of each temple on the grounds that the reason why the monks were sitting in peace was caused, and some people even suspected that the master had passed away. Today, the three major temples and Thirteen Forests each sent representatives to pay homage to the master, but Sang Jie Gyatso still obstructed, so he looked tense.

"Sangjie Gyatso, what did Master say?" A monk asked directly when he saw Sangjie Gyatso sit down.

Sang Jie Gyatso said calmly: "Master is sitting in silence, and he doesn't want to see you and others."

As soon as these words came out, the monks were dissatisfied and shouted loudly. The voice was much larger than usual, and they almost overturned the Buddhist temple. However, Sang Jie Gyatso sat here calmly, closing his eyes to rest until no one spoke, and he said, "Master just didn't see all of you, and he didn't say he didn't see you. Master, please send a representative to see you."

After saying this, a group of people looked at each other, and when they were just scolding the most powerful monk for speaking, Sang Jie Gyatso said, "If you were to assign someone at will, maybe you would say I was a fake. So, let Master Kerr go, what about?"

Sang Jie Gyatso looked at a burly and bearded monk, but this proposal was recognized by most of the people. Ker was also a noble chief of the Khan of the Hoshuot Khan, and he was the most trusted monk around the great master. More importantly, everyone in Tibet knew that he had a grudge with Sang Jie Gyatso. Sang Jie Gyatso represented his master on his mission to the Empire Shenjing. In fact, the Imperial Lifan Academy also invited monks from the Imperial Lifan Academy, who was the representative, but was blocked. This person was Sang Jie Gyatso. Sang Jie Gyatso also reported to the Imperial Lifan Academy as Ker in the secular world, saying that Galdan fled back to the North Road of Tianshan, which was helped by Ker.

If he said that he would not surrender to Sangjie Gyatso, he would not be able to be bribed.

Ker stood up and nodded slightly. Sangjie Gyatso took Ker to the place of quiet place. After an hour, Ker came back and said calmly: "Yes, Master is sitting in peace and practicing profound secret methods. All matters are carried out by Sangjie Gyatso Diba, and Master said to me personally that General Gyatso could be appointed as General Galdancewang as the general manager of Ali. In the future, let everyone not disturb his practice."

Everyone looked at each other and asked if Keer had really seen his master. Keer answered seriously, and finally everyone left helplessly. When the Buddhist temple was purified, an old monk over 70 appeared in front of Sang Jie Gyatso. He let out a long sigh and said to Sang Jie Gyatso: "Mr. Diba, it is too risky to let me pretend to be a master. Fortunately, Keer has not seen his master for twenty years."
