Chapter 145: The Undercurrent of the Western Regions

After Zhu Qizhen arrived, he handed over a series of information to Shi Biao first. After Shi Biao saw it, he said: "The situation in the Western Regions is as dangerous as it is. I need a general to take charge of Yili. Even if the news between the Central Plains and the Western Regions is cut off within one or two years, I must stick to Yili. No matter who the enemy is? Yili must be in the hands of the Ming Dynasty."

"Do you dare to do it?"

After hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Shi Biao knew very well that at this time, he could not say the word "no".

The emperor said this to this point. If Shi Biao dared to refuse, he might not deal with him now, but his life's future ends here.

In addition, he also understood that the Shi family has today, not because of him, Shi Biao, but because of Shi Heng.

Shi Heng's biggest political heritage is not in the capital, but in the Western Regions, the tens of thousands of troops in Yili were all Shi Heng's old subordinates. Once it was lost to the Western Regions, the situation of the Shi family could not be maintained.

Perhaps a few years later, the situation of the Meng family of Teng Guogong was the situation of the Shi family.

There are nearly ten Dukes of the Ming Dynasty, but there are only a handful of them who really control the power, and the rest are just to be a tablet.

The Shi family did not want to become such a family, and these tens of thousands of troops would never be lost.

No matter how many difficulties and dangers were, Shi Biao could only walk with his teeth and said, "Your Majesty has his life, but I will never refuse."

"Okay." Zhu Qizhen took a few steps forward, pressed one hand on Shi Biao's shoulder, and said, "I just knew that you would not let me down."

Then Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and asked Huaien to drag a mahogany pallet with a long sword on it. Zhu Qizhen took it and handed it to Shi Biao with both hands, saying, "This sword is my order. The Western Regions are here to listen to your control. You can take action first and then report it. The major events in the Western Regions will be entrusted to you. I am waiting to listen to your good news."

Shi Biao took it with both hands, took a few steps back, put down his sword, knelt down and bowed, saying, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I am in the Western Regions."

Now, the news about the Western Regions was a chaotic situation more than ten days ago. Even if Shi Biao had all his skills, he could only talk about this person now.

What I mean is that although I have no confidence in success, I have the determination to achieve success.

Shi Biao almost immediately set off more than a hundred personal soldiers, one by one, and came out of Beijing, went out of Xuanda across the grassland, ventured through the area where Manjun's riots were active, and headed straight to Yizhou.

How dangerous is Shi Biao going here? I won’t mention it for now.

However, the situation in the Western Regions deteriorated rapidly after Shi Heng's death.

Zhu Qizhen inferred that this matter was planned for a long time, and even suspected that it was planned by Maoli's secretly, but it was a bit too conspiracy theory.

This is also considered an occupational disease he suffered from being an emperor.

But many things in the world, from the perspective of conspiracy theory, are just that coincidental, but they are not.

Shi Heng's death was an accident.

To be honest, before Shi Heng died, who would have thought that Shi Heng could drink wine, eat meat with big sluts, drive a hard bow, ride a fast horse, and even cross the three armies. Even if there were young people, he could not resist Shi Heng's three moves and two moves.

Who would have thought that Shi Heng would die?

Shi Heng's death was suddenly in all aspects. Man Jun's rebellion had been planned for a long time.

It is even related to the severe drought in the northwest.

During the Han Dynasty, Juyan was still a place with abundant water and grass, but in the Ming Dynasty, many places were already infested by yellow sand.

In addition, a severe drought hit the grassland.

It makes the Mongolian tribes migrating from the northwest even more unbearable.

They were not used to life on the grassland, but now they encountered such a severe drought, which was even more unbearable. Man Jun took advantage of this dissatisfaction.

Of course, if Shi Heng was there, Man Jun might not dare to make such a big fuss, but he always had to make a fuss. Thinking about it, the child would have milk to eat.

However, as soon as Shi Heng died, Man Jun became even more unscrupulous when he was making trouble.

Man Jun's trouble was the fuse of rebellion in other places.

First of all, we need to talk about the Hui in the Western Regions.

The Western Regions of this era were not entirely the world of Hui and Islam. To be precise, most of the Mongols were the world of Wats, and the people of Wats believed in shamans.

And in southern Xinjiang.

After several great knives in the Chagatai Khanate forcibly promoted Hui and Islam, Hui and Islam flourished, but the unification of southern Xinjiang was still not completed. There is a place here, Hami, which has now been renamed Yizhou by the Ming Dynasty.

This is the only city that believes in Buddhism.

Even before the rise of Wasai, the Chagatai Khanate attacked Hami several times. There was also the Hui and Islam called the Holy War.

In other words, the trend of Hui and Islam advancing eastward has not changed.

However, in this situation, the Khanate of Chagata was destroyed by Washu. However, the change was not much, because Washu's management was not so refined and was very religiously indulgent.

Even among the Wasai tribe, there are those who believe in Hui and Islam.

Therefore, I didn't take much care of the contradiction between Islam and Buddhism.

But what really changed all this was that the Ming Dynasty entered the Western Regions.

Tens of thousands of troops who followed the Ming Dynasty into the Western Regions, and many immigrants, including Han and Mongols.

Zhu Qizhen's exploration of the Western Regions was definitely treated as the land of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen deliberately selected some Han people or Buddhists for the tribes that moved west.

In order to check and balance the indigenous chieftains in the southern border, the various garrisons and the southern border chieftains were arranged to check and balance each other. So Buddhism followed these people back to the area west of Hami.

At the beginning, these southern governors were still afraid of the Ming Dynasty and did not dare to do anything, but over time, the conflicts and frictions between the two sides grew day by day.

Bai Gui spent a lot of energy on dealing with the matter here.

Bai Gui cannot be ruthless. After all, many people can figure out Zhu Qizhen's policy shift towards the Western Regions. Generally speaking, Bai Gui is both kind and powerful, so as to convince people with reason.

However, he didn't understand what kind of person Hui Muslim is.

For these people, any little bit of weakness will be regarded as weakness and concession.

Although due to the Ming Dynasty's troops stationed in the Western Regions, various connections between the Hui and Islam had already begun.

It can even be said that without Shi Heng's death or Man Jun's rebellion, it is certain that a great rebellion for Hui's people is nothing more than a matter of time.

Among them, the Firebrand family has been preparing for a long time.

This Fireman family, speaking of the saintly family in the Hui and Islamic world, served in the Chagatai Khanate, and later the Chagatai Khanate was defeated by Wasat.

The Firemen family did not retreat westward with the Chagatai Khanate, but stayed in southern Xinjiang. It was part of the local chieftains of Kucha. It was highly respected during the Huihui in southern Xinjiang.

It is said that when the Fireman was preaching, he suddenly burst into tears and said, this is the last time he preached, because Allah's punishment is coming, and if he believes in him, follow him.

At that time, some people followed him, and some people did not follow him. But after he left, in about half a day, sandstorms flooded the city.

So everyone thought he was holy.

After the Southern Xinjiang launched the move, Maori children were a little hesitant.

In fact, among the various tribes, Maorika has the greatest ambitions, and he always had the idea of ​​restoring the glory of the Borjijin family.

But he understood the strength of the Ming Dynasty best again.

Neither the Firebringer family in southern Xinjiang nor Man Jun had been to Beijing. They heard about the power of the Ming Dynasty. What they could feel was the Ming Dynasty's military existence in the Western Regions.

But Maori knows it.

It is because he knows that he doesn't want to move rashly.

So, on the one hand, he felt that this was an opportunity. An opportunity for all the Western Regions. On the other hand, he knew that the Ming Dynasty would never allow the chaos in the Western Regions to be like this. He was worried that if he took action now, the Ming Dynasty would be regarded as the main target.

There are also various relationships between Maori and the Ming Dynasty. You should know that the Borjijin family also served in the Ming army. He not only had a good relationship with Concubine Zhuang, but even married his daughter to King Yi.

Speaking of which, he is also a royal relative.

Of course, the Mongols would never give up on fighting just because they married a daughter. But this kind of relationship will always affect his judgment.

So, although Maori kid ordered troops to recruit generals, what was he going to do? He still didn't make a decision.

He didn't know that his swaying and thinking too much was a waste of his life.
