Seeing Celing Dunduobu, who was as strong as a big bear, patting his chest and saying that he would work hard for the Yin family, Emperor Zhu nodded in approval, and then took a "Qianhuhou" from Nalan Xingde. With the golden seal and the edict of the marquis, he handed it to Celing Dunduobu with a smile, "Great Celing, I now designate you as the Marquis of Qianhu of the Yin family, and lead your troops across the sea to the New World."
"Your Majesty, Choros. Celindunduobu, respectfully accepts the imperial edict!" Celingdunduobu bowed again and took the tray with the gold seal and edict with both hands. He was officially named the Qianhu Marquis of the Yin family in the New World. !
The so-called Qianhu Marquis of the Yin Jiahan are the marquises under the nomadic system of the Yin Jiahan. According to Zhu Heji's design, the Shang kings had a settled farming system, and the titles below were all linked to fiefs, and the titles were preceded by place names.
The Yin family is a nomadic system, living in pursuit of water and grass. Naturally, the noble titles under it cannot be linked to fiefs, so they are linked to the number of households. They are Qianhuhou, 800th Dian, 600th male, and 4th household. One hundred guards and two hundred uncles. Of course, the 1,000 households, 800 households, 600 households, 400 households, and 200 households here are all imaginary numbers, and the real numbers are only half at most. Moreover, Zhu Heji would not grant these nobles a household title, and they would have to bring people there from the Old Continent themselves.
After receiving the order from Celing Dunduobu, Zhu Heji did not let him leave. He waved to Su Zhanyang and said with a smile: "Ayang, come here too."
"yes."
Su Zhanyang hurriedly stepped forward, walked to Emperor Zhu, bowed and bowed, and then stood upright next to Ce Ling Dun Duobu, waiting for the emperor to speak.
Emperor Zhu smiled and preached to Su Zhanyang and Ce Ling Dunduo: "A Yang, Da Ce Ling, you two young heroes, this time you lead your elite across the sea. In the future, you will be the mainstays of the King of Shang and the Khan of the Yin family. . But you are not familiar with the customs and customs of the New World, and the situation in the New World was not created by you. So after you arrive in the New World, you will still be ranked below Zhou Peigong, Li Guangdi, Chen Tingjing, Dugar Alabutan and Danjin Omu... ....Do you know?"
Su Zhanyang is undoubtedly Zhu Heji's confidant, and Da Celing is a person trusted by Mrs. Anu, and is Zhu Celing's nominal cousin... Both of them can be regarded as "close vassals" of the Great Shang King and Yin Jiahan. ! Zhou Peigong, Li Guangdi, and Chen Tingjing are at best Zhu Yimei's "outlooks". Dugar Alabutan and Danjin Omu have a closer relationship with Zhu Celing, but at most they are two "generations".
Therefore, Zhu Heji sent Su Zhanyang and Cering Dunduobu to cross the sea to the New World. He actually meant to monitor Zhou Peigong, Li Guangdi, Chen Tingjing, Dugar Alabutan, Danjin Omu and others!
But surveillance does not mean taking away those human rights. This standard must be grasped well.
"I understand," Su Zhanyang nodded, "I will definitely obey their orders."
Celing Dunduobu also echoed: "I will also listen to them."
Zhu Heji said: "I will also make the five of them marquis, and together with the two of you, we will be the seven princes of Yin and Shang. Before the King of Shang and the Khan of the Yin family have not yet entered the country, the major affairs of the Shang Dynasty will be discussed by you seven princes."
As he spoke, he asked Nalan Xingde to recruit students. Nalan Xingde immediately called five people holding trays containing gold seals and edicts, and stood in front of Su Zhanyang and Cering Dunduobu.
Zhu Heji pointed at the trays, smiled and said to Su Zhanyang and Da Celing: "This is the edict to confer the five of them and the gold seal given to them. I'll ask you two to bring it to them... .Among them, Zhou Chang (Zhou Peigong) was granted the title of Xibohou, Li Guangdi was granted the title of Dongbohou, Chen Tingjing was granted the title of Beibeihou, Dugar Alabutan and Danjin Omu were both granted the title of Qianhuhou."
Well, there are already Jizhou Housu family, and it is not surprising that there are Xibohou, Dongbohou and Beibohou.
At this time, Zhu Heji took another scroll from Nalan Xingde, smiled and said to Su Zhanyang and Da Celing: "This is the canonization of Xibohou Zhou Chang as the commander-in-chief of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and the head of the seven princes of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Edict! You two also brought this edict to Zhou Chang, and told him that this Yin Shang commander was the regent before the King of Shang and the Khan of the Yin family came to the country, with a term of four years and can be re-elected for one term. Eight years later, The King of Shang should be able to return to his country... At that time, he can give up the position of Marquis of Xibo to his son and return home in fine clothes, and I will make him a Marquis of the Ming Dynasty."
Emperor Zhu's words are for smart people. If Zhou Peigong was smart enough, he could act freely before Zhu Yimei came to the country. After Zhu Yimei came to the country, he would retreat bravely, give up the position of Xibohou to his son, and return to the Central Plains to retire. In this way, the relationship between him and Zhu Yimei as a monarch and his ministers can be maintained, and the wealth of his descendants can also be maintained. However, he himself has no foundation in the Central Plains, and no one will doubt him. There is no problem in being a rich man.
And Zhou Peigong's brave retreat can also make a good start for the powerful people in the New World... When their power and position are unstable, they can retreat to the Ming Dynasty's father's country, and they can become rich no matter what.
After handing over the edict conferring Zhou Peigong as the commander-in-chief to Su Zhanyang, Emperor Zhu ordered the two "Yin Shang Hous" in front of him: "A Yang, Da Ce Ling, Shang Fang Kingdom may start a war with the Westerners at any time. Let's The troops there are still not large enough, so you two had better board the ship with your troops and set off as soon as possible."
Su Zhanyang said: "Your Majesty, my five hundred households are all ready and have been gathered in Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture. They are ready to board the ship at any time."
"Okay!" Zhu Heji nodded, looking very satisfied, "I will ask the Navy and Nanyang Company to send you off as soon as possible... You can go to Nagoya Tenno Castle first. The Emperor is sitting there, and I will write to Your Majesty, ask him to recruit one or two hundred more Japanese retainers for you, so that you can have more people to work for you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Upon hearing this, Su Zhanyang quickly saluted and thanked him again.
Zhu Heji then said to Da Celing: "Da Celing, where are your people?"
"Returning to your Majesty," Ceringdun Dobu hesitated, "My tribe is nomadic in the Karashale area."
Kalasal is located at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, north of the Tarim Basin, and in the area around Bosten Lake. Although the Tarim Basin in this era is already very dry, thanks to the melting snow of the Tianshan Mountains and the moisture of Bosten Lake, the Karashale area is still fertile with fertile water and grass. Therefore, Cewang Alabutan, who entered the southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, placed his Khan's court in Kalasal. Since Celingdun Dobu's tribe was not large, he had no choice but to follow Cewang Alabutan.
Zhu Heji raised his head and looked at Cewang Alabutan who was standing far away.
Although Cewang Alabutan was not willing to lose the hundreds of cavalry under Celingdunduobu, he did not dare to offend Zhu Heji, so he could only gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I will immediately give an order to the palace of Kalashar Order them to immediately send Cering Dunduobu’s people to Nanjing.”
Zhu Heji smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry to come to Nanjing. You can go to Guihua City to get vaccinated first, and then go to Tianjin. And there is no need to carry cattle and sheep tents all the way to Tianjin. Cattle, sheep, horses, tents, weapons Nagoya Tenno Castle will prepare everything they need for crossing the sea."
Tianwang City, established by King Zhu Tianwang, is actually a licensed trading company, but it does not operate zero-yuan purchases, but provides logistics support and product sales and other services for zero-yuan purchases. This efficiency is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary yamen.
So Zhu Heji simply outsourced the logistical services for colonizing the New World to Nagoya Tenno Castle, which King Zhu Tianwang was personally in charge of. Now Nagoya Tenno Castle has not only built docks, warehouses, and camps, but also built a building that can accommodate tens of thousands of various animals. Pasture for livestock. Therefore, people, materials, and livestock can be transported to the other side of the ocean in batches by ship. This not only improves transportation efficiency, reduces losses and costs, but also improves personnel comfort.
In addition, people crossing the sea to the New World can also stay in Nagoya for ten days and a half, and then board the ship when they have enough strength. This will significantly reduce the proportion of falling ill and dying on the way.
This is really a huge benefit for the New World project that Zhu Heji is most concerned about right now.
However, Emperor Zhu Da's attention was not completely absorbed by the New World, otherwise he would not have summoned Cewang Alabutan from the foot of Tianshan Mountain in the Western Regions to Nanjing City.
Counter Cewang Arabtan's official summons came after the ceremony of the "Yin Shang Great Ennoblement" - in this great ennoblement, a total of more than 100 people were awarded the titles of Marquis, Dian, Nan, Wei, and Bang. The fifth-level title of uncle, and on average, there are about 200 households under each lord. If the more than 100 lords are added together, there will be more than 20,000 households. Based on the calculation of three people per household, there will be a population of 60,000 to 70,000 people.
More than 20,000 of them are still strong men who have received military training!
In the next few months, these people will be transferred in batches to the great Shang country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean to serve as the descendants of the Yin Shang people who have lived there "since ancient times."
In the past two years, the Ming court organized four more groups of "villain groups" and "herdsmen groups" to go to the New World - these are the subordinates directly under Zhu Yimei and Zhu Celing. With direct subordinates, Zhu Yimei and Zhu Celing will be able to sit down in the future. Stabilize the king or the sweat, otherwise you will definitely become a bare stick.
Taken together, these four groups of "evil people" and "herdsmen" amount to a total of more than 10,000 people. Coupled with the first batch of immigrants who crossed the sea, the number of "merchants" and "Yin people" in the New World has almost exceeded 20,000, and they are already capable of fighting!
.......
"Cewang Alabutan, come into the Huangji Palace to speak! Anu, Prime Minister on the left, Prime Minister on the right, you are also coming."
The canonization ceremony outside the Huangji Hall has ended. Emperor Zhu Da politely invited Cewang Alabutan into the Huangji Hall, and also called Anu, Zhuge Sanhe, and Yang Qilong in together.
After entering the Huangji Hall, Emperor Zhu did not sit down on his throne, but walked to a map table placed in a corner of the Huangji Hall.
This map shows the situation of the Western Region including seven territories including Yinli, Junggar, Yeerqiang, Hami, Khotan, Kashgar, and Turpan. Each piece of land on the map is marked with the owner's name in Chinese characters.
Among them, the two major blocks of Yinli and Turpan (including Kalasal, Kuqa, and Aksu) have the name of Cewang Alabutan written on them! However, the Ming Dynasty only owned a large part of Hami, and the Junggar headquarters north of the Tianshan Mountains (including Urumqi and Kulkara Wusu) belonged to Cewang Alabutan's younger brother Sonomu Alabutan. Plus the Khovd grassland owned by Cewang's other brother. The territory occupied by the three Cefan brothers almost included the entire territory of the Junggar tribe when Sengge was in power (there was no Khanate at that time).
And the three Cewang brothers respect Cewang Alabutan... It's already a bit too big to lose!
Seeing this map, a trace of fear flashed across Cewang Arabtan's face. Before you know it, the Junggar Khanate will be unified by him!
"Cewang Alabutan," Anu suddenly spoke at this time, "If I remember correctly, the population of the territory left by Seng Ge is about this, right? What else are you dissatisfied with?"
As soon as Cewan heard this, he quickly knelt down to Emperor Zhu Da and said, "Your Majesty, I and my two brothers can get the land and population left by their father. They are already satisfied. However, they feel deeply that the Majesty is so kind to them that they cannot repay it, so they just want to I want to capture Galdan's great enemy on behalf of His Majesty... And as far as I know, Galdan has received the assistance of Kangxi Khan who just conquered half of India, and his vitality has also recovered. If he doesn't do it now, If we destroy him, he may join forces with Kangxi Khan to disrupt the Western Regions in the future and become a serious problem for the Celestial Empire!"
Zhu Heji didn't say anything. The one next to him, Zhuge Sanhe, who was already elderly and was leaning on a cane because of the ventilation and became a "lame Zhuge", stroked his gray beard and sneered: "It's just a Galdan, but he's a clown, so he deserves it." A great enemy of the Celestial Empire?"
Yang Qilong also smiled and said: "The reason why Galdan became the enemy of the Celestial Dynasty is because he can't lose his big tail. Now that he only has Yeerqiang, Kashgar, and Khotan left, why should he become the enemy of the Celestial Dynasty again?"
Anu sighed quietly at this time, and then said: "The Holy Lord has a kind heart. As long as Galdan is willing to repent, he will allow him to be ordained and become a monk, and he will also be allowed to practice in Yeerqiang, Kashgar, and Khotan. As for Kangxi, Khan, Kangxi's brother Chang Ning will take action, so you don't have to worry about Celi."
Cewan Arab said frankly: "A monk? After becoming a monk, will you no longer have a wife? Can you, an American lady, remarry legitimately?"
Zhu Heji suddenly laughed dryly at this time, interrupting Cewang Alabutan's thoughts. He only heard him laugh and said: "Cewang, although I support you and your two brothers to retrieve the inheritance of your father Sengge. But the throne of the Junggar Khanate was not left by the Sengge... The Sengge is just the Hutaiji of the Junggar tribe. And the three of you brothers have worked hard to stabilize the northwest of the country over the years, and one Hutaiji is no longer enough. To reward you. So I plan to confer kings on the three of you, Prince Yinli, Prince Junggar, Prince Khovd and Prince Turpan!"
Cewang Alabutan was stunned again, and looked up at the Ming Emperor, "Your Majesty, there are only three brothers, and you just made four county princes."
Zhu Heji smiled and said: "Cewang, I will grant you two kings, one for yourself and one for your second son!"
