Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 757: The aftermath of Central Asia

However, although Zhu Di wanted to continue the Western Expedition, he had been entangled with the Timur Empire for a long time, and even the most elite soldiers would be tired. Therefore, Zhu Di is also preparing to return to Beijing with Zhu Su. Firstly, the soldiers can stay here to renovate and renovate. Zhu Di can also take the soldiers' trophies and family letters back to the Ming Dynasty and move here the families of the soldiers and soldiers who are willing to settle in Kangju City. , to stabilize the military morale.

Second, after witnessing the power of firearms, hot-air balloons and many other weapons, Zhu Di was extremely enthusiastic about these new weapons. He couldn't wait to return to China and have the Treasure Hunting Source Bureau customize a batch for use in the Western Expedition.

Third, Zhu Di has not returned home for several years since his expedition to the Northern Yuan Dynasty. It is indeed time to meet Lao Zhu and Ma to express filial piety.

Therefore, Zhu Su and Zhu Di left Zhang Dingbian and Yao Guangxiao to manage Kangju, while they, Fei Ju, Zhang Yu and others returned to Shendu Delhi City, and then returned to Daming by boat from Delhi. Zhang Dingbian did not want to be an official in the Ming Dynasty, but he was very happy to have him guard Kangju for China. He had outstanding achievements in the army. Even if he only had the title of guest minister of the three kings of Qin, Yan, Zhou, and Zhou, the soldiers were willing to listen to his orders.

As for Yao Guangxiao, with this demonic monk in black sitting here, even if Ma Heima Khalil and others wanted to make some small move while Zhu Su and Zhu Di were leaving, they would definitely not be a match for Yao Guangxiao.

In this battle, Zhu Di's Mongolian surrendered cavalry worked hard and made great contributions. Therefore, in order to reward these Mongols, Zhu Su and Zhu Di authorized Mahamu of the Choros clan to station here, and asked him to be granted the title of "Deliber". ". Religion is rampant in the land of Shendu. In addition to the city of Delhi being firmly controlled by the Ming army, there are countless religious warlord forces, large and small, outside the city. In order to ensure the spread of Tianyi Sect in Shendu, a group that can It is very necessary to destroy hostile religious forces and provide armed forces to protect Tianyi Religion.

Mahamu is ambitious and an outsider, so he has no regard for these so-called religious gods who are poisonous to the locals. The Mongols have always been tough, and against the weak and poisonous people, they are enough to form a devastating force. Therefore, it is really appropriate to let these Mongolian cavalry sweep away the poisonous areas. Mahamu was grateful for this arrangement. He cut off the roots of his descendants with great perseverance. What he wanted was a great power. Now not only can he roam freely in this poisonous place, but he also has the opportunity to obtain a title from the Ming Dynasty. This The Mongolians, who were repeatedly suppressed during the Oara period, could not help but burst into tears of gratitude, and constantly expressed their willingness to defend themselves for the Ming Dynasty and would never betray.

Zhu Su did not trust Mahamu's oath, but he was not too worried. The Mongols were also outsiders and had no foundation. If they betrayed the Ming Dynasty and left the Ming Dynasty, it would be difficult for them to develop and grow. Even if it grows stronger, it doesn't matter. Shendu is separated from the Ming Dynasty by mountains. Even if Mahamu rises with the Mongols, it will definitely not be a threat to the Ming Dynasty. Instead, it will become a spear that pierces the Western world.

Moreover, even if these Mongols rise, it will be difficult to break through the depth of Central Asia and Persia. In a few decades, Zhu Su believes that under the fire of civilization, these nomads will only be able to sing and dance, and will no longer be a threat.

What Zhu Su didn't know was that later, King Zhu Zhen of Chu was sealed in Delhi. As one of the military forces assisting Zhu Zhen, Mahamu of Delhi had always been loyal and made outstanding contributions to the unification of the Chu Kingdom in the Ming Dynasty. contribute.

At the same time, the princess who belonged to the Alitaz Sultanate in the Ming Dynasty and married Zhu Di as his concubine also gave birth to three outstanding figures, namely Zhu Alitaz Gao Chi, Zhu Alitaz Gao Xu, and Zhu Di. ·Alitaz and Gao Sui.

Among the three brothers, Zhu Alitaz Gaochi, who succeeded the position of sultan, was a benevolent king and managed the entire sultanate in an orderly manner.

The brothers Zhu Alitaz Gao Xu and Zhu Alitaz Gao Sui inherited Zhu Di's military strategy. While they were proficient in the Han's art of war, they were also excellent in martial arts.

The two soldiers attacked the Sultanate of Mahima and Khalil in two directions, successfully defeated the two sultans, helped their brother Gao Chi, unified Central Asia, and greatly accelerated the sinicization process in Central Asia. It is a pity that the heirs are unworthy. The originally powerful Alitaz Sultanate, after the fourth sultan Zhu Alitaz Qizhen came to the throne, became arrogant and wanted to break with the Ming Dynasty because it listened to the slanders of the sycophants.

Sultan Zhu Alitaz Qizhen even led an overwhelming army and personally went on an expedition, intending to take down Persia, destroy his body and restore the glory of his great-grandfather Timur, in an attempt to compete with the Ming Empire.

Unfortunately, Zhu Alitaz Qizhen's army was overwhelming, but in the Shendu area, he encountered the adopted grandson of Mahamu of Delhi, Zhu Choros Yexian, the Marquis of Delhi, who was personally given the surname by King Zhu Di of Yan. Ye Xian led more than 10,000 soldiers and defeated more than 200,000 troops in Qi Zhen in one fell swoop. Sultan Qi Zhen was also captured by Ye Xian.

The ministers of the Alitaz Sultanate were filled with hatred for such an unreliable sultan like Qi Zhen. Without a leader, they decisively chose to apply for mediation from the Ming Dynasty, the overlord of all nations, and directly gave up on rescuing Qi Zhen, who was so happy but stupid, and knelt down to ask the Ming Dynasty to send a new king to govern the sultanate.

As a result, Zhu Xiongying, the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty at that time, sent a new Ming vassal king to Central Asia, and changed the Alitaz Sultanate into a prefecture and kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, so that the Central Asia region was re-divided after the Tang Dynasty. It has entered the scope of the Chinese cultural circle.

The fate of Zhu Alitaz Qizhen also became a counterexample for daring to rebel against the status of the Ming suzerainty, and was taken as a warning by all Ming vassals. Since then, no vassal state of the Ming Dynasty dared to betray the Ming Dynasty.

These are things for later.

However, it is said that after Zhu Su and Zhu Di arranged everything, they boarded a boat along the Ganges River and went to sea all the way south. When they arrived in Nanyang, they found that Ming troops and merchants from the Ming Dynasty had already been stationed and opened ports in various places in Dawan. Some places are even very prosperous, with an endless stream of merchants coming and going.

"There are quite a few ships coming from the west... Are there so many barbarian merchants on the sea?" Zhu Su looked at several sailboats that had just left the port. Those sailing ships looked nothing like Chinese ships, and they were indeed full of red-haired men. Although they do happen occasionally in normal times, they are definitely not possible in groups with such a big formation and momentum.

"Speaking of which, I have inherited the blessing of your highness as a disciple." The steward of the dock here is an old steward of Cao Guogong's Li family. He is naturally very close to Zhu Su and Zhu Di, the two princes of the Tian family. "Your disciple's expedition to Fengming Continent brought inexhaustible financial resources to our Ming Dynasty."

"Now, who doesn't know that everything on Fengming Continent, even the river flowing in it, is filled with gold? That Kanhe heading to Fengming Continent is not Kanhe, it's just a boatload of gold!"
