The Yarkand Khanate was founded in 1514 in the 14th year of the Yelpan calendar. Its founder, Saiyide, was a Turkic nobleman of Mongolian descent. In a country further west, he called such people the Mongol people, so his empire was also called the Mongol Empire.

In the eyes of Daming, this country that had never exceeded one province at its peak, could not be considered an empire at all. Moreover, because Said claimed to be the descendant of Genghis Khan, he still attributed him to the Mongols, and the Yarkand Khanate, which established the capital of Shache, became a Mongolian tribe.

Although this foreign vassal occupied the eastern regions such as Hami and Turpan when it was the most powerful, it was now in a diminishing state, and these eastern regions were divided and occupied by various tribes of the Oirats. The first Tianshan Battle in the fifth to sixth year of Longjing was to completely eliminate the power of the Yarkand people.

In the Ming court, someone also proposed to contact Yarkand to balance the vast north and south roads of the Tianshan Mountains. However, the Ming Dynasty did not win the support of the Yarkand Khanate in the end because as the Turkic Mongolian Khanate, the main body of this country believed in the prophet Mohammed, the Ming Dynasty officially named it: Mojian.

Said Khan, the founder of the Yarkand Khanate, launched a holy war against Tibet and died due to altitude sickness. This history has not been long since. For ideological considerations, the Ming Dynasty could only choose one between Buddhism and mute religion.

Obviously Buddhism is more suitable for the Ming Dynasty's rule over the local area.

What's more, since fifty years ago, the Western monastic Hezhuo entered Yarkand to preach, and then the Baishan Sect also entered the country. Now, due to the dispute between the Montenegro and the Baishan Sect, this country is unable to carry out efficient cooperation actions. The Ming Dynasty is an efficient country and prefers the Junggar and Heshuote of the Oirat.

Those two tribes were highly efficient allies who drank tonight and agreed to send troops and could dispatch troops early tomorrow morning.

...

Zhu Cixuan had no children in his previous life, and now he has to cross the river by feeling the stones of the prince's education. When his son was young and ignorant, he could still keep him with him. As his son grew up day by day, he needed to receive more meticulous systematic education, so he naturally could not be kept by his side for training.

In Zongxue, where the crown prince entered the Zongxue, the master was selected by many Ming elites. From natural sciences to humanities education, and even the cultivation of art such as sports, music, and art, there was no bias. In fact, because of the personal hobbies of Zhu Changjie, the Zongxue Jiu Dongyuan king, the proportion of class hours occupied by music and art reached one-third.

The course designed by Zhu Cixuan himself is certainly not likely to focus on liberal arts.

The problem is that the crown prince himself likes it.

In his spare time, he was willing to hold the Four Books and Five Classics to explore the hearts of ancient benevolent people; he was willing to spend time to figure out the words and meanings of the Spring and Autumn Annals; and he sincerely yearned to become a great scholar like Yan Yuan... just like his uncle, His Highness Yong, yearned to become a general since childhood.

Interest is the best teacher. If the crown prince has such interest, he is more willing to teach the teacher in Chinese, history and other subjects. Getting talent and teaching is a joy in life, let alone this talented student is still the crown prince.

What these teachers instilled in their own thoughts and moral standards, and from the perspective of the Ming people, these Confucian moral standards were not wrong at all. The fundamental core principles cannot even be denied by Zhu Cilang: for example, filial piety, filial piety, respect relatives, respect heaven and ancestors; benevolence, care for life, benevolence, be kind to others; courtesy, respect others, and not embarrassing...

It can be said that even in Zhu Cilang's previous life and society has undergone several changes, mainstream parents will educate their children: be honest, sensible, polite.

Therefore, these are not Huang Daozhou's fault, and they cannot be attributed to Confucian scholars.

If Zhu Hegui was not the crown prince or the heir to the empire, there would be no place to blame.

The problem lies in the identity of the crown prince and the long process of using reality to polish ideals.

After figuring out this problem, Zhu Cixuan finally got rid of his anxiety and returned to his past calmness. As a response, he added a "current affairs" class to the sect, asking the cabinet to hold people personally to teach these children what happened in the Ming Dynasty and around them, and explain the court's policy intentions.

There is no doubt that the loyalty of the people to the Ming Dynasty is that there is no other country in this world that can make them envious. However, during the interpretation, the crown prince often has a universal feeling of compassion for the world. The so-called benevolent love for others is an extremely respected idea in Chinese culture, but this kind of compassion is contrary to the current national policy.

Especially in the war in Tianshan.

"Father, my son found out that since the Han Dynasty, the territory of the dynasty was not far away from our Hami Guard. So whose land is west of Hami?" The crown prince returned to Zhongcui Palace and met His Majesty, the father who was watering flowers himself in the courtyard. He went up to see him and asked for advice.

Zhu Cixuan put down the watering can in his hand and did not realize the true intention of the crown prince. He only said as historical knowledge was popularized, "Hami means "the gate" in the local language, and it is basically a place outside the world. Chagatai, the second son of Genghis Khan, the Taizu of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, was enfeoffed here, so it is called Chagatai Khanate."

During the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the Chagatai Khanate not only led the north and south roads of the Tianshan Mountains, but also occupied the entire Xinjiang territory in later generations. It was a very important Khanate in the Mongolian Empire. Later, the Chagatai Khanate was divided into the East and West Chagatai Khanate, and later replaced it with the Yarkand Khanate, and now it no longer exists.

On this ground, the Uighurs who originated from the Mongolian grasslands had entered the pass and integrated into the Han people, and it was not until later generations that they had the Yugu people. The "Xinjiang people" who were deeply and accurately and could distinguish them at a glance were actually Turks who were mixed with the West Asian race. These Turks are now called "Chagatai people" and belong to the vulnerable group on the north and south roads of the Tianshan Mountains.

As for the so-called "Uyghur" people in Zhu Cilang's previous life, the clan said that he followed the "Weiwuer", but in fact he did not have much blood relationship with the real Weiwuer people.

"Father, can we fight as long as it is the old land of the Mongolian Yuan?" Zhu Hegui said: "Isn't this a powerful military force for many years?"

Zhu Cixuan's face felt a little cold and his muscles were stiff. He reached out and stroked his cheeks and asked, "Who told you?"

"It's a child who is not understanding when he is studying. He asked the teacher, but he can't answer." Zhu Hegui said.

Zhu Cilang frowned slightly and said, "You will know this when you get older."

"But my father, our dynasty has reached the point where everyone in the country needs to serve in the military, and even the clans cannot be spared. It is unprecedented in previous dynasties. Do you still have to continue fighting?" Zhu Hegui refused to relax and asked afterwards.

Zhu Ciyang stepped forward and pressed his son's head: "Who told you that the military service was recruiting because of war? It's so naive! The military service in our dynasty is to keep the people from being as good as Taizu's founding, so that they will not be weak and cowardly! Being able to join the army to defend the country is a good thing for glorious families, so why should the clan avoid it!"

This is a correction of values. Zhu Hegui was still a little unacceptable for a while, and he opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer.

"Your idea of ​​valuing culture over military affairs is undesirable." Zhu Cixuan said: "Even you have to go to the army to exercise for a long time in the future!"

"Father, the emperor...the son still wants to study."

"Reading is a lifelong thing, and joining the army will not delay studying." Zhu Cixuan said: "By the way, are you playing date pit balls in Zongxue?"

"They don't like them, and they get sweaty and sticky every time." Zhu Hegui said.

Zhu Cilang shook his head slightly, but didn't say anything more.

Children's mind is not determined, and speaking too much will lead to rebellious psychology.

However, habits always need to be corrected. If you really raise a nerd son, Zhu Cilang may not be able to pass this level.

"Prepare more books these days to pass the time on the road." Zhu Cixuan said.

"On the road?" Zhu Hegui showed doubt.

"Well, go to Jiangnan with the emperor's grandfather and grandmother." Zhu Cixuan said.

"Okay! Thank you, Father!" Zhu Hegui jumped up. Going to Jiangnan was something that my grandfather had always been talking about. Zhu Hegui also wanted to see what the scenery of Jiangnan was. Unfortunately, this matter was dragged down by his father for several years, but he didn't expect that this year would be able to make a journey.

"But what to do when going to school?" Zhu Hegui turned to quiet, feeling quite entangled.

"Come back and make up for your lessons, there's no hurry." Zhu Cilang actually wanted his son to go out and take the study lightly so that he wouldn't be obsessed with books and be unable to extricate himself.

Zhu Hegui also thought this was a good idea, so he became happy again.

After Zhu Cixuan made the decision, he asked the internal officials to count the account books and prepare for the ceremonial ceremony of Emperor Nan Xing. These things were being prepared every year, and they had reached the level of planning for everything in detail and not taking time. As long as Chongzhen and Zhou Hou spoke, they could even make a trip on the same day.

"The queen is about to give birth, how can I stay in the south at this time? It's better to wait until August to leave." Zhou Hou was still anxious to see his fourth grandson and refused to leave.

Chongzhen was so open-minded that he had three grandsons around his knees that were quite comforting. He said, "The emperor was watching over the empress, and we were in charge of going to Jiangnan. If we travel in August, it would be October to arrive in Jiangnan. I'm hurried back and forth for the winter solstice sacrifice, I'm afraid it would be a mistake."

Now that Nanjing has been withdrawn, the sacrifices are all in Beijing. If the winter solstice festival is delayed due to travel, it will be a stain that has been recorded in history.

"Will June go?" Zhou Hou retreated and looked for the second best.

"It was hot at that time, how could I hurry on the road?" Chongzhen said.

Zhou Hou was upset and said, "The Supreme Emperor, go by yourself, I will stay in the palace to take care of the queen."

"Didn't you say you wanted to go to Jiangnan that day?" Chongzhen said anxiously.

"May." Zhu Cixuan hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "The queen should have given birth at that time, and the road was not too hot."
