Not only are there enemies outside the city,
His ministers were no better than him.
Zhao Huan often understood things but was powerless to do anything about them.
What King Liang?
What emperor?
He hasn't had a single day of peace!
It's not as good as it is now.
Busy during the day, sleeping at night.
My days were very fulfilling.
A jumble of random thoughts raced through my mind.
Suddenly someone ran up and said,
"The Agricultural Promotion Bureau should establish additional offices in Shandong and Huainan,"
"The heads of both these offices are both of the seventh rank,"
"Those who are qualified can register tomorrow."
"Another twelve people need to be transferred over there,"
"He was primarily responsible for cotton cultivation research,"
“Ordinary agricultural promotion officers can also sign up to participate.”
Zhao Huan suddenly had an idea.
If transferred to Shandong or Huainan
Is it possible for me to conceal my identity?
Why not live without being judged?
Zhao Huan, steeling himself, asked,
Can I sign up?
The man paused for a moment, then replied...
"We must consult the Emperor."
After a while,
The man returned and said, "The Emperor has already agreed."
"But we can't go to Huainan,"
"The only option is to grow cotton in Shandong."
Do you really want to leave the area far away from the lockdown?
Zhao Huan found it unbelievable.
He was the emperor of the previous dynasty.
Zhao Yuan indeed didn't care about this.
Emperor Huizong of Song was not afraid of ruling the southeast.
Are you afraid that Zhao Huan, a lone ruler, will rebel?
Even if Zhao Huan and his family fled,
The Ming Dynasty court merely posted arrest warrants.
They won't specifically organize personnel and expend resources to search for it.
At the office center of the Agricultural Promotion Bureau in Qionglin Garden,
After carefully listening to the reports on various research topics,
An official from the Court of State Ceremonial reported that
"Your Majesty, the envoy from the Gaochang Uyghurs has arrived in the capital."
"Arrange it according to the rules," Zhao Yuan said.
The territory of the Gaochang Uyghurs
In the Hami, Turpan, and Urumqi areas,
Although outwardly submitting to the Western Xia
But secretly they were exchanging glances with the Song Dynasty.
It established a treaty with the Song Dynasty as a "nephew-uncle" relationship.
Chapter 1767 Recognizing the Uncle
Now the Ming Dynasty has replaced the Song Dynasty.
It dealt another heavy blow to the Western Xia army.
The Gaochang Uyghurs immediately dispatched a delegation to pay homage.
He hoped to follow the old testament and become the "nephew" of the new Ming Dynasty.
They came from the territory of the Yellow-headed Uyghurs.
The Yellow-headed Uyghurs were the ancestors of the Yugur people.
It was under the jurisdiction of the Longyou Protectorate of the Song Dynasty.
However, it is essentially in a semi-independent state.
They nominally submitted to the Song Dynasty, but that was all.
Even the Song Dynasty found it difficult to borrow troops from the Yellow-Headed Uyghurs.
This time, the Gaochang Uyghurs sent envoys to the capital.
The Yellow-headed Uyghurs also sent people to accompany them.
They must have been treated very well.
After all, they were the first vassal state to request investiture from the Ming Dynasty.
.....
The Gaochang Uyghur delegation,
This quickly alerted Zhao Yuan.
Because Yelü Dashi's messenger was hidden inside!
To maintain secrecy, the envoy
He didn't reveal his identity the whole way.
They only notified the officials of the Court of State Ceremonial upon arriving in Tokyo.
Although the Liao Dynasty has been destroyed,
However, the northern desert region had not yet been incorporated into the Jin dynasty's rule.
Including the Altay region of Xinjiang in later generations,
Together with the northern desert regions, they formed the Northwest Route Pacification Commission of the Liao Dynasty.
These areas still maintain the administrative system of the Liao Dynasty.
It was once a shell of its former self.
The various departments have already shown signs of independence.
It was Yelü Dashi leading two hundred iron cavalry.
Using force to deter those tribes from acting rashly
And they gained a ruling position by upholding the righteous cause of reviving the Liao Dynasty.
He has been connecting various departments for the past few years.
Those who are really disobedient
They simply sent troops to attack.
This year, we just pacified the Nianbage tribe (the predecessor of the Naiman tribe) in the Altay region.
Incidentally, they also went south to contact the Gaochang Uyghurs.
I heard that the Gaochang Uyghurs are going to be sent as envoys to the Ming Dynasty.
So they quietly came along with the delegation.
Zhao Yuan first received the envoy from the Gaochang Uyghur Kingdom.
After listening to the story, he asked,
"So, Yelü Dashi has just established diplomatic relations with Gaochang?"
The leader of the Gaochang Uyghur delegation was named Ceche.
He replied that it meant "observance of precepts" in Buddhism.
"Our country was previously a vassal state of the Liao Dynasty,"
"Yelü Dashi claimed to be the legitimate ruler of the Liao Dynasty,"
"We are ordered to continue swearing allegiance to our country."
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "The Liao Kingdom and China are brotherly states."
"Gaochang's submission to the Liao Dynasty cannot be considered a betrayal."
Tseche expressed his loyalty, saying, "Although our country has submitted to Liao,"
"But his heart is with China."
"I had previously made a pact with the Song Dynasty to be nephew and uncle,"
"Now the Ming Dynasty has replaced the Song Dynasty,"
"Please let King Liang continue to treat Gaochang as China's nephew."
Zhao Yuan said, "I will inform His Majesty."
"The King of Gaochang was formally established."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Ceche was overjoyed.
Gaochang occupied Hami and Turpan.
These are all important nodes on the Silk Road.
It can be said that possessing a treasure is a crime.
They could only search everywhere for their father.
The Liao Dynasty was the father.
And the Great Song Dynasty was also his maternal uncle.
Later, he simply treated Yelü Dashi as his father as well.
We can first confer the title of King of Gaochang.
After we destroy the Western Xia,
Open up the Hexi Corridor
Then, troops were sent to garrison Gaochang Kingdom.
If the king is sensible,
The throne can be retained.
