Chapter 1049 The Traces of King Thalon
Hearing this, King Tang showed a look of gratitude, and he clasped his fists in the direction of the capital before replying: "Your Majesty Long En, knowing that the lonely army was created, and now that it has conquered such a large place, its strength is seriously insufficient. Let the Baigan army continue their crusade to the south, and it is estimated that they are almost at the mouth of the sea now!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yousong was a little surprised. He looked at the Jinyiwei guards around him, hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "The white pole army costs a lot, right?"

On the way here, he naturally had a general understanding of King Tang's situation.Knowing that the army that Mr. Min Ge trained in Yunnan before, including the cost of this expedition, was all paid by the Tang Palace.Later, it would cost a huge amount of money for a whole army like the White Pole Army to come over. Zhu Yousong estimated this amount in his own heart, at least the Fu Wang Mansion might not be able to afford it!At this time, he was even more surprised when he heard that the Baigan Army was still fighting for King Tang, and couldn't help asking.

Before Tang Wang could answer, Zhu Yousong said with emotion: "The savings of Tang Wang's mansion are really huge!"

Hearing this, King Tang laughed so much that Zhu Yousong didn't know where he said something wrong.After a while, Tang Wang replied: "Don't say that there is no gold and silver in the Tang Palace, even if there is, it is impossible to keep it. To tell you the truth, the accumulation of the Tang Palace in the past dynasties, as early as after the first Mupang , It’s almost used up. Thanks to His Majesty’s grace, the grain fields given before can be auctioned off, and this part of the money is almost enough to support Awa. The rest of the expenses are replaced by others!”

Strictly speaking, if the vassal king changed his fief to overseas and had another fiefdom, if the imperial court really wanted to take back the grain fields granted before, the vassal king would have no choice but to do so due to his weakness.But Emperor Chongzhen did not do this, but still believed that these grain fields belonged to the vassal king, and after the auction, the property belonged to the vassal king.This made King Tang grateful.It was also from this that he could see the sincerity of the emperor, so he recklessly became the leader of the overseas entrustment.

Of course, he didn't know that one reason why Emperor Chongzhen did this was to support the overseas enfeoffment of the vassal kings, and to give support as much as possible; another reason was that there were still a lot of fields in the vassal king's grain fields. In this way, the imperial court can transfer the conflicts of those contributors to the vassal king.If there is any problem, just go to the prince.

However, Zhu Yousong's focus is not here, he was even more surprised by another situation.Seeing him, he quickly asked Tang Wangdao: "Can I use other things instead? What?"

"Food!" Tang Wang said with a smile of course, "There is nothing else here, only food. Let them grow food and grow it three times a year. There is a lot of food."

Speaking of this, he paused and added: "In addition, there is a city marked out at the mouth of the sea, which is not counted as the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court will directly send local officials to govern it. In the future, the imperial army and navy will also be stationed there. , used to guard against enemies coming from the sea for my Tang country."

"Nephew, tell me, the emperor attaches so much importance to overseas enfeoffments, what else can we vassals have to say?" Tang Wang said, persuading Zhu Yousong solemnly, "When you go back, I will tell you Father, don't worry that the feudal kingdom cannot be established. Your Majesty Long En will consider everything for us."

Regarding this point, Zhu Yousong nodded, agreeing very much.Let’s just talk about the Tang Kingdom, it can be said that the emperor helped the king of Tang to conquer it.Even after defeating Dongwu, he thought for the king of Tang, knowing that his army was not enough to take on the important task, so he took the initiative to take the most dangerous place by the sea, without the king of Tang worrying about it, the court guarded it, and the territory of the king of Tang , just hide behind it.Where can I find such a good thing in all dynasties?

He came here this time, and within such a short period of time, he learned about things that he, or his father, was very concerned about.The king of Tang did speak his mind in the Tang state, he was majestic and majestic, and he was not just a puppet; another point, there was no need to worry about the embarrassing experience of spending money but not being able to conquer the vassal state, thus leaving people and money empty.

While speaking, they had already sat down in the palace, they didn't need to be ordered by the king of Tang, they were served by their own maids.

Zhu Yousong was in a good mood eating the unique fruits of the Tang Dynasty.For him, he is more willing to be entrusted overseas than to die in Luoyang. He would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail!According to the results of the field inspection, he already felt that if he could explain to his father, he would be able to fulfill his wish smoothly.

After eating a dragon fruit in his stomach, Zhu Yousong took the towel handed over by the maid and wiped his mouth, then smiled and said to King Tang: "Listen, my nephew, it is very difficult for the Tang Dynasty to take down the rest of Dongwu with the white pole army." Quickly settle down, Your Highness will be able to sit back and relax!"

Hearing this, Tang Wang first smiled and nodded, but soon, he frowned a little.This made Zhu Yousong, who was looking at him, a little taken aback. Why, is there something unspeakable in it?Could it be that the court really has other means?

Thinking of this, his face suddenly turned ugly.If it is really still under the control of the imperial court, how different is it from being a vassal king in the Ming Dynasty?

Tang Wang naturally saw Zhu Yousong's face, and after thinking about it for a while, he realized that he might have misunderstood.He didn't dare to be sloppy about what the emperor had told him, and quickly explained: "There is indeed one more matter in this country of Tang, which makes Gu a little worried, but although it can't be said to be a peace of mind, it's not much worse."

When he said this, Zhu Yousong couldn't help being very surprised. Could it be that he was wrong.He wanted to ask, but he felt that it was not easy to ask under the guard of Jin Yiwei.

But to his relief, the king of Tang took the initiative to explain to him: "Our army won the decisive battle of Mengmi that day. But although King Dongwu Talong lost his arm, he could not see people when he was alive, and he couldn't see the corpse when he died. He was nowhere to be seen. Therefore, I was a little uncertain in Gu's heart. I didn't know whether he was dead or alive. It would be fine if he died, and he could die wherever he wanted. But he was afraid that he was still alive, and he was secretly thinking about the restoration of the country. "

Speaking of this, he smiled again, and said with a relaxed expression: "However, Gu will not be afraid. Behind Gu, there is the court. Gu won't believe it, and he can turn the world upside down? But if he If things happen, it will always bring some troubles to Gu.”

Regarding this statement, although Zhu Yousong has no experience, he can still figure out that the original king of Dongwu is missing, so he really minds.But the king of Tang is right, there is an imperial court behind Tang, so why be afraid of him!
However, out of politeness, he still asked: "It's been a long time since the Meng Mi war. How come there is no news about such a big living person?"

Hearing this, Tang Wang hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "It's not that there is no news at all. There are rumors that he fled to the west. Gu once tracked it down, but there is no real evidence!"

Speaking of this, he smiled and said: "Tang country is in a state of ruins, and I don't have the interest and strength to pursue the rumors. After the Tang country is completely stable and Gu's army has enough capabilities, maybe I can send people to the west to track it down. Otherwise, King Long will go there, and those tribal and barbarian countries in the west want to hide it, so there is nothing Gu can do."

Regarding this kind of matter, it is impossible for the imperial court to send troops to solve it for him, or else the imperial court army would be full and have nothing to do!King Tang understood this, so he didn't even mention it. If Prince Fu hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't even have expressed his intentions.

The two of them talked for a long time, and then the king of Tang arranged for Zhu Yousong to be a guide for Zhu Yousong, and let him walk around the Tang country casually. My nephew. There may still be dangers in the remote and barbaric areas, but most of the places, my nephew can go and have a look. It’s rare to come here, so it’s good to go and see more.”

When Zhu Yousong heard that it was exactly what he wanted, he immediately thanked him.

From the second day on, he really went shopping, and even left Ava, walking around the bustling areas of the Tang Kingdom.

Along the way, of course, he also met Han people, listened to what they had to say, and sometimes, he also asked some questions.In all cases, a conclusion has been reached.What Tang Wang told him before was true!

Today's Tang State still has a small population. If the original Dongwu natives resisted fiercely, such as those who used knives and guns, the army would directly suppress them.And if some others resist, they will be sent directly to Yunnan to build roads.Of course, those places that are far away will stay in the Tang country to serve hard labor.

Because of this, Zhu Yousong traveled to many places and found that the original Dongwu natives were mostly children and women.As for the young people, most of them are people who heard the news and came from the territory of Ming Dynasty to make a living.The king of Tang saw that many Ming people settled down in the Tang country. Even though there were more women than men, these Ming people lived comfortably.

Zhu Yousong can be sure that after ten or twenty years, the Tang State will be the Tang State of the Ming people, and there will not be much difference between this place and the mainland of the Ming Dynasty.It is comfortable to be a vassal king in such a place, and you won't have the feeling of being in a barbarian land and surrounded by barbarians in a foreign country.

Of course he didn't know that when Emperor Chongzhen launched the national policy of feudal feudalism overseas, in fact, there was another point that he had learned from previous experience and lessons.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the national power was strong, and it also conquered the land of Annan, bringing Annan into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

But at that time, the imperial court only sent local officials to govern. On Annan's side, the natives always occupied the majority.

There is a problem here. The magistrates sent by Daming to manage Annan did not really manage Annan as a land of Daming.In other words, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and he has no intention of governing well at all.After arriving in Annan, they levied violently. As a result, before Annan was assimilated by Daming, the local people began to rebel. With a large number of people, Daming's national power was no longer the same as when it was founded, and finally Annan was separated from the territory of Daming.

But now, after the vassal king is feudalized, he wants to live in these feudal states for generations. As the master himself, he will naturally not be as unscrupulous and unscrupulous as the court officials.At the same time, the large number of officials and troops brought by the feudal king from the interior, as well as other Ming population, can greatly speed up the process of assimilating the local people.

In this way, the customs, culture, etc. of the vassal state will be the same as those in the mainland of Ming Dynasty.A few years later, with a high degree of mutual recognition, if something happens, the expansion of the Ming Dynasty's territory will be natural.Just like the feudal lords of Zhou Dynasty, the Central Plains finally became a country.

Zhu Yousong didn't return to the interior of Ming Dynasty from Tang Dynasty until June, when the land of Dongwu was really hot, which made him, a little fat man, a little bit unbearable, and went to tell his father what he had heard.

At the same time, in Western Mongolia near the Tianshan Mountains, where the Great Khan of the Heshuo Special Division was located, Eqiertu entered the tent excitedly, saluted Gush Khan who was sitting there, and asked, "Uncle Khan, nephew?" I'm interrogating those prisoners from Tsarist Russia!"

Prior to this, a small army of Tsarist Russia came to harass Heshuote's troops again, and the fusilier cavalry trained by Oziertu led him to come.More than half of them were killed on the spot, seven were captured, four of them died of serious injuries, and only three remained.Then, he personally interrogated the three captives, thinking to learn more about the situation in Tsarist Russia.He was suddenly summoned by Gushi Khan, and his interest in the interrogation never dropped.

The reason for this is that Western Mongolia is often harassed by Tsarist Russia, and has always adopted a tolerant attitude before, but this way, it is enough.This time, three captives were caught, so he must have vented his anger.The second is that he found that he trained according to the method he learned from the Ming Dynasty's new army, and the strength of the army was indeed strengthened. At least against the Tsarist Russian army, which he thought was extremely vicious before, no one was afraid, and he won the battle.

After Oqiertu asked the question, he realized that there was a lama sitting on the side of the big tent.Seeing this, he couldn't help being stunned.There is a lama coming from Tibet, why didn't I hear about it?
Even though he thought so, he knew that Uncle Khan respected the Lama very much, so he saluted respectfully.

Gushi Khan was very happy to see it. After glancing at the lama, he turned his head to look at Oziertu, who had already turned his gaze to him, and said, "I told you to come here. I think it's time!"

Hearing this, Oziertu was taken aback for a moment, but immediately remembered what Gushi Khan was referring to.I didn't think so before, but at this time when Gushi Khan was about to leave and he wanted to stand alone, he couldn't help becoming nervous, and quickly said: "Uncle Khan, my nephew feels...I don't think I'm ready yet!"

Gushi Khan smiled for a while when he heard it, and after looking at the lama again, he stood up, walked slowly to Oqiertu and stood still, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said seriously: "The grassland The young eagle on the sky has grown up, and after all, it wants to fly by itself. I have been watching it for more than half a year, and I believe that you can already take over this position!"

Hearing this, Oziertu was a little happy and proud at first, but then he felt a little uncertain, so he wanted to say more.

But Gushi Khan shook his head, and said first, "The situation in Qinghai-Tibet is no longer optimistic. As a great master, it's time for me to do my best. You don't have to be afraid, as long as you remember, there are people behind you. "
