The trading city built by Zhu Cijiong at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains is located in a place called Alimatu, which is almost where Almaty will be in later generations. Because it is moistened by the melting snow of the Tianshan Mountains, the land around the buying and selling city is quite fertile. If Zhu Cijiong can sustain it for a long time
If you lose money and slowly carry out immigration and development, you will definitely be able to develop in the future for a long, long time, such as more than 100 years later!
This prediction sounds a bit pessimistic, but based on the development in recent years, it is still very possible.
The reason is very simple. If the people of the Han Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty want to immigrate to the area around the trading city, the travel expenses they need to pay will definitely be higher than those to the United States of Xinzhou!
It takes almost 10,000 miles to travel from Yingtian to Maimai City! Immigrants who travel by land can walk 50 miles a day, which is very impressive. It is almost the speed of the Ming Dynasty’s army. It takes 200 days to walk 10,000 miles. If you walk slowly
The point is that it’s been a year, not to mention whether there is any supply along the way. Even if there is, the poor will be rich! How much travel expenses will Sichuan cost for a long distance of 200 days to a year? With this money, it is better to go to Xinzhou!
If you go to the United States of New Zealand, you can save up three months and nine months to dig for gold and hunt furs. Even if you work hard, you can still save some money.
Therefore, after the business of reopening the Silk Road went south, there were no immigrants from the Central Plains willing to come to represent the country. However, there were some "Green Flag Military Households" who followed Wu Sangui to Anxi and Hexi. Due to various reasons, they could not survive in Anxi and migrated.
When the Beiting Army and Daiguo under the control of Zhu Cijiong settled down, Daiguo and Beiting divided up the Ili River Basin (the Maocheng area is also part of the Ili River Basin). Daiguo also owned the rich and fertile Rehai (Issyk-Kul Lake) area.
The generation environment is much better than the barren lands of Anxi and Hexi.
However, the population of Anxi and Hexi is not large. Only one or two thousand households can move to Daiguo and Beiting every year. In 100 years, only 200,000 households can be moved.
Zhu Cijiong is in his early forties this year. Although he is in good health, he is unlikely to live to be 140 years old, so he cannot wait for the day when his country will develop naturally.
Since we can't wait, we have to find some windfall, no, "crossing people", so as to speed up the development of Dai country. And it was developed twenty years earlier, because it has received two waves of immigrants (Ye'erqiang country's wave,
Eight Banners Mongolia and Horqin Mongolia), Chuhe Prefecture, which has a relatively large population, has certainly become the target of Zhu Cijiong's greed.
Because all kinds of immigrants gathered around Chuhe City, the whole city became noisy and noisy, and then became a commercial center in the Central Asian steppes. People of various nationalities crisscrossed each other, and groups of people came and went.
Camels and teams of carriages and horses kept passing by. The wooden wheels wrapped with iron rings caused sparks to fly on the stone slabs of the streets. Mongolians from the grasslands walked through the streets with knives in their waists.
, walking around the shops around. Most of the Mongolians, Hans and Manchus from the east who live in the city are wearing Ming Dynasty clothes, speaking Chinese and Mongolian, either talking to each other or soliciting business.
There are also some businessmen wearing Tianfang sect costumes who have recently appeared in Chuhe City. They all hold "trade licenses" issued by the Ming Dynasty Embassy in Delhi, carrying dazzling goods produced in India or rupees.
Silver coins, escorted by the Zhungeer cavalry sent by Shibao King City, came to pursue a special "commodity" Xiaoge Lao, or slave scout!
In addition to the large number of merchants, there are also a lot of lamas here, wearing monk robes and lama hats like cockscombs, walking around in the streets and alleys. The soldiers of Geldan Wanhu who were stationed in Chuhe Prefecture were very interested in these lamas.
They all respect and trust them very much, and they are allowed to come in and out through the city gate without anyone questioning or blocking them.
Because the ruler of this city, Galdan, was also a highly respected lama not long ago. As a monk, Galdan ruled this commercial center city on the edge of the Central Asian prairie.
Therefore, the lamas in this city have always been under strict supervision, so it is logical that this place has become a gathering place for Huang temples.
The Huang Temple of Sanbao Lama and Mingzhu Lama is also in the city of Chuhe Prefecture. It has a rather vulgar name called Xiaojin Temple. It was given to them by Sengge after the destruction of Bukhara Khanate. After the completion of Xiaojin Temple,
The two great lamas also specially sent their disciples to the Central Plains to welcome a group of lamas (there were also yellow temples in the Central Plains area of the Ming Dynasty, most of which were left over from the Yuan Dynasty). Among them were several eminent monks with very high moral standards, including
The Sanbao Lama and the Mingzhu Lama would take turns returning to the Chu River from the Shibao Royal City to listen to the sermons of these eminent monks.
The person who just returned to Chuhe Mansion today was the Sanbao Lama. He was in his carriage, reading a few newspapers quietly in front of the window in the sunshine. The wheels of the carriage rolled over the stone at the entrance of the Xiaojin Temple, and he was immediately stunned.
The enchanted Sanbao Lama was so shocked that he jumped up.
Sanbao Lama quickly put away the newspaper and opened the curtain. He saw several big and three-thick iron-rod lamas approaching to greet him. The leader had already come over: "Your Majesty, Venerable Ford has arrived and is waiting for you in the sutra hall! You are the best!
This time we stayed in the big valley for a long time, and I heard that we encountered a crisis, which worried everyone in our Little Golden Temple."
It turns out that Sambo Lama came back from the military front in the Fergana Basin!
When Sengge put Anusha Khan of the Khiva Khanate into the basin, he did not expect that this guy would be so tenacious. In the basin, he and the Jungar Kingdom competed inch by inch for Central Asia. The population distribution in this place is very uneven.
, the population density on the Sanyuzi Grassland is very low. However, the population in the Fergana Basin is densely populated, around two million!
Therefore, in order to conquer the Fergana Basin in recent years, the Sengge has gone to great lengths to conquer the Fergana Basin. Now most of the territory in the basin has been conquered, but Anusha Khan and his followers have retreated to the mountains.
It's still very painful.
So Seng Ge asked Sanbao Lama and Mingzhu Lama to take turns stationed in the basin. This was not an easy and safe task.
A month ago, Sanbao Lama, who was patrolling the Anyanji area in the eastern part of the basin, encountered an ambush. Thousands of people besieged his 500 people. The two sides fought bloody battles for two days and three nights before the reinforcements from Sanbao Lama arrived.
fighting.
Sanbao Lama smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be afraid. The people following me are all musketry cavalry, each armed with a flintlock rifle. Are you afraid of those rabble?"
As he spoke, he got out of the carriage and said to the leading lama: "Let's go and lead the way. I'm going to see Master Ford."
Lord Ford was, of course, the Shunzhi Emperor Fulin who Zhu Cixiang had always wanted to capture and strangle to death.
In these years, he has traveled all over famous mountains and rivers, enjoying the magnificent mountains and rivers of our great motherland. He even ventured deep into the Tiger's Cave and Longtan, went to Pukou City in Yingtian Prefecture, and even stayed at Pukou Huangjue Temple.
However, I didn’t dare to go to the Yanenhou Mansion. In the meantime, I visited Jinyiwei Street, the most deserted street in the center of Pukou (the East Factory is also there). Once, I met a Jinyiwei official who was cheering for me.
(Zhu Chunjie), this high-ranking official thought he was here to beg for alms, so he actually gave him a few silver coins (I don’t know if it counts as being an enemy?). With the silver coins given by Zhu Chunjie, Fulin also went to the East Street.
We had a good meal at a restaurant next to the Yamen of the Jiji Factory. The people eating there were either Jin Yiwei Tiqi or Dongchang Fanzi.
There were so many spies from the Ming Dynasty, but none of them found anything wrong with Monk Fulin. No wonder they couldn't catch Fulin!
But after traveling around Yingtian Mansion, Fulin couldn't go back to Mount Wutai. His home in Mount Wutai was raided by Jin Yiwei. Of course, the loss was not big, but he lost a few disciples who didn't know the secret.
I lost some of my temple property.
