Chapter 128: Opening up the territory and expanding the soil

Zhu Qizhen circled several places on the map, from Beihai to Erguna River, and then Beihaiwei, Tainingwei, Duoyanwei, and Fuyuwei.

Going eastward, there was the sphere of influence of the Haixi Jurchens and the savage Jurchens. The court once established the Nuergandusi, which governed many garrisons. During the Renzong and Xuanzong periods, considering the serious loss of national strength, they adopted a strategy of rest and recuperation, and finally decided to give up the entire Nuergandusi.

Now, it's time to get it back!

"I am going to restart Wu's River Guard, east of Ergun River, and to the estuary of the sea, including the entire Mohe River and Wu's river basin. However, the name Wu's River Guard is not nice, so I'll change it to Mohe Guard!"

Wudihewei was once the northernmost ward in the Ming Dynasty. It was set up in the fifth year of Yongle and was later abandoned by Emperor Xuanzong. Since Wudihewei was originally the name of a local Jurchen tribe, Zhu Qizhen was very disgusted with the Jurchen tribe, so he suggested changing the name of the ward.

Everyone looked at the map and the Mohe Guards and the four guards in front were connected to each other, roughly equivalent to the northern border during the Yuan Dynasty.

Although many places in northern Liaodong were still occupied by barbarians, as long as the Mohe Guard was built, these places would be cut off from the north and would become territory actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty in a few years.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty expanded its territory to the north by at least 30%!

Such great achievements are comparable to Emperor Taizong!

"Yu Qian!"

"I'm here!"

"Tell me, who is the right thing to give to Mohewei?"

Without thinking, Yu Qian said, "I recommend Prince Consort Jing."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and asked, "Jing Qing, what do you think?"

Jing Yuan hurriedly saluted and said, "I will do my best to live up to the emperor's grace!"

Zhu Qizhen vaguely remembered that the Qing government in later generations signed three contracts between the later generations and Tsarist Russia, ceding large amounts of Liaodong land to Tsarist Russia, including the place he had just designated.

What he is considering now is not just a territorial issue. The river berth that emerges is vast sea area, including the Chantal Islands and Sakhalin Island, as well as the unfrozen port in the south, Vladivostok.

These marine resources and islands seem to have little value now, but they will play a crucial role in the future era of navigation.

Therefore, the candidate for Mohewei must be someone who is capable enough and who is absolutely trusted by himself.

In terms of relatives, Jing Yuan is his eldest uncle.

In the early Ming Dynasty, when the emperor chose a son-in-law, he would give priority to those who had military achievements. Jing Yuan was a child and loved martial arts. When he heard about the war in the north, he decided to join the army. From then on, his military talents were exerted, made great military achievements, and were appreciated by Emperor Xuanzong, marrying the eldest princess of Jiaxing and being appointed as the Duwei of the Princess of the Princess.

Unfortunately, Princess Jiaxing died of illness in the fourth year of Zhengtong at the age of 30.

During the fourteenth year of Zhengtong's personal expedition, Jing Yuan served as the escort. Apart from Fan Zhong, he was the most trusted person.

This Northern Expedition even made a great contribution to the victory of Tutuo Buhua, and the three guards of Jianzhou plowed the ground to sweep the caves.

He is brave and resourceful, loyal, and as Yu Qian said, Jing Yuan is the most suitable candidate.

Zhu Qizhen nodded slowly and said solemnly: "The northern barrier of the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to the Qing family!"

Jing Yuan was moved and knelt down and said, "I will never refuse!"

Next, Zhu Qizhen threw the stall to Yu Qian again.

The general direction is now very clear, and Yu Qian is enough for specific matters.

Three days later, Yu Qian took out a detailed charter.

After Zhu Qizhen opened it, he looked carefully, including how to arrange the migration route of the three guards of Duoyan, what help should the court provide, the choice of the Mohe guards' resident, the allocation of food, how many stations need to be established from the north of the capital, etc., etc.

This also includes later planning, and even short-term and long-term goals are set.

In short, this charter is in every detail, and it is extremely detailed.

Sure enough, if professionals do professional things, they will give Yu Qian the important government affairs.

Zhu Qizhen felt very satisfied. The turmoil in Mobei has been settled, and the subsequent development plan has been put on the agenda. You can go back to the court!

"Who?"

"Let me in!"

"Bold! This is the tent of the emperor's central army. If you have not summoned, you will not be allowed to enter!"

"I want to see the Emperor!"

A rough voice, speaking awkward Chinese, started to make noise outside the camp gate.

Immediately afterwards, someone shouted: "Shabhutan, don't be unreasonable!"

This sound is somewhat familiar, as if it was the commander of Duoyanwei Aerqiman.

The voice just now said, "Aerqiman, I won't tell you, I'll go and tell the emperor!"

"Stop making trouble, if you have something to do, let's talk about it when you go back!"

Zhu Qizhen asked in confusion: "What happened outside?"

"I'll go out and have a look!"

Fan Zhong turned around and came to the camp gate and saw Aerqiman pulling a gray-haired middle-aged man.

"What's going on?"

Aerqiman hurriedly said, "It's nothing, it's our own business, so General Fan won't have to do it!"

As he spoke, he pulled another person away, but the man seemed very dissatisfied and broke free with all his might.

"Aerqiman, you can't make the decision on this matter, I want to see the emperor!"

"Shabudan, you don't even look at where this is. How can you let it do whatever you want?"

The middle-aged man named Shabhutan seemed very angry and didn't know what to do for a moment.

At this time, I heard someone in the tent say, "Fan Zhong, let them come in!"

Then Fan Zhong turned sideways and signaled the two to enter the bill.

Seeing this, Shabhutan walked in. Aerqiman was worried that he would cause trouble and hurriedly followed.

"My minister, A'er, beg the man to bow to the emperor!"

Aerqiman turned around and saw that Shabudan was still standing foolishly, reaching out to pull his arm, and pulling it hard.

Shabhutan understood and also followed Aerqiman's appearance and bowed and bowed.

Zhu Qizhen put the regulations in his hand aside and said, "What's the matter a noisy thing? Get up and talk back!"

"emperor……"

Shabhutan stood up and just spoke, but was stopped by Aerqiman again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Aerqiman finished speaking, Shabhutan realized and said in a similar way: "Thank you, the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen looked at the two of them and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Aerqiman was worried that Shabudan would talk nonsense, so he took the initiative to tell the story.

It turned out that Shabhutan was the leader of the Gorros tribe under Duoyanwei. His daughter, Altagaleqin, married Tutubuhua as her wife and gave birth to a child named Moluntaiji. However, half a year ago, Altagaleqin was blinded, her tongue was cut off, and she was not sent back, because she had an affair with her subordinates.

When encountering such a thing, Shabhutan had to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. Who told his daughter to do something shameful?

However, a few days later, a maid escaped and brought back a truth.

This woman was originally married to Tatar with Altagaleqin. According to her, Altagaleqin was abused. The truth was not that she had an affair with her subordinates, but because of a quarrel with Tutuobuhua's other wife, Bird Wendasili.

This nomadic nostalgic is Ola Yesian's sister.

Tuotuobububu and his two wives have sons, which leads to the problem of heirs. Therefore, the two of them have a very unpleasant fight.

However, Moluntaiji, the son of Altagaleqin, is the eldest son, and the probability of becoming the heir is very high.

Nou Wendasili was jealous and came up with a poisonous plan to lure Altagaleqin to a deployed tent. Then, this scene "accidentally" was seen by Tutubuhua...

After learning the truth of the matter, Shabhutan was almost furious and was looking for opportunities to avenge his daughter. During this Northern Expedition, the Gorros tribe rushed to the forefront, just to kill Tutuobuhua with his own hands.

However, as they were chasing the Onon River, the court issued an order to stop chasing the troops.

How can this work?

So, Shabhutan asked Aerqiman to continue pursuing Tutubuhua. However, Aerqiman had already obtained the imperial edict and his current mission was to station on the Onan River, rather than to go north rashly.

Shabhutan was so angry that he had the scene just now.

After hearing what happened, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but nodded and said, "It's really too much. Let's do this. I will issue an additional two hundred flintlock guns and two light cannons to the Gorross army. Your mission is to kill the old dog Tutuobuhua!"

Shabhutan was very moved and knelt down again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Aerqiman was a little confused. So... he fired two hundred more guns and two more cannons?

If I had known, I would have cried with you, and I would have been wronged...

Zhu Qizhen had other plans, but Duoyan's three guards were stationed in the Onon River, and as the defensive side, they were always passive.

Tuotuobuhua will only attack after he is ready, otherwise he will find a place to lie dormant.

If there is a soldier who can attack and make him exhausted, how can he develop?

The Gorros tribe is like a hunting dog on the grassland. They will sniff the traces and constantly attack Tutuobuhua.

Muskets and cannons are their fangs and claws, and the court will continuously provide support to ensure that they have enough strength to hunt prey.

At this point, Zhu Qizhen finally felt relieved. The Mobei had already been settled and the Northern Yuan Dynasty would no longer exist.
