Chapter 13 The Seven Great Xia Empires Have Dawned in the East
In fact, before this, Nikan had discussed something with Zasaktu Khan. The boundary between the two sides was bounded by the Tes River on the south side of Lake Kusugur and the southern edge of the Tannu Mountain. To the north of the Tes River belongs to the Hanhai Kingdom, and to the south belongs to the Zasaktu Khan tribe.
In fact, the area north of the Tes River is small, and Zasaktu Khan is absolutely indispensable, but it is a great surprise for Nikan.
Before this, by providing muskets and cannons, Nikan had obtained land north of the Delgmulun River and the Selenge River from his father-in-law, Thuhan Gumbu.
For the Mongolians, the most important tributary of the Selenge River - the area where two Orkun Rivers flow from one east and one west.
For Chechnya Khan, the most important place is naturally the Krulun River Basin, and for Zasaktu Khan, the Edel River, which originated from Mount Hangai (Yanran Mountain) and finally flowed into the Selenge River, was the Zabukhan River, which also originated from Mount Hangai and flowed into the Kyrgyz Lake, and the Ulya Sutai area during his stay.
In other words, Chechen Khan took the Eastern Branch of the Orhun River and the Krulun River as its main bases, while Tushetu Khan took other branches of the Orhun River as its main bases; Zasaktu Khan took Hangai Mountain and Kyrgyz Lake as its main bases.
After obtaining the land north of the Tes River, Nikan's land was connected into a piece, and from the prairie north of the Chikto, along the Selenge River, Delgmulun River, and Tes River directly to the Tuwa Basin, which is the Tanuwulianghai area.
For the three Khalkha tribes, when Nikha defeated Korqin's right wing and left wing one after another, they also knew that it would be easy for Nikha to take Khalkha for the sake of relatives - because the strength of the Khalkha two divisions was not inferior to any Khalkha Mongol tribe, not to mention the former Zarut, Onniut, and Bahrain were all the majority. Although there was a gap compared to Khalkha, it was almost the same as that of Khalkha.
After obtaining these five thousand herds, Nikan prepared to move them to the grassland of the Tolkien River Basin, centered on Mulun, south of Kusugur Lake, which is located in the middle of the above-mentioned rivers, and is also the best place.
May 18th is the birthday of Nikan's later generations. On this day, he officially changed the country's name to "Daxia". Of course, in the "Letter to the Subjects", he changed the "Xiongnu, the Miao Seed of the Queen of Xia" to "the tribes in the forest, the desert, and the Miao Seed of the Queen of Xia". "Now he used it as the national name, so he followed the heaven and inherited the previous regime."
Furthermore, "The land of China is called Huaxia, what is Huaxia? It is the Xia of China. Xia is the country where China started. It was followed by Shang and Zhou, and then Xia flourished in the north of the desert after Xia. Isn't it a cycle of heaven and earth, and it is here to call us?"
In addition, it was said that the capital of the ancient Xia Dynasty was in Yangcheng, and Hulun City was changed to Yangdu.
The reign of the reign of "Dongxiao" is still in the 13th year of Chongzhen this year; next year is the first year of Dongxiao (1641).
Colt Il Doshin is the queen, and Hareredun, Aruna and Gegentana are all imperial concubines.
The Lifan Academy was set up, which was responsible for the northern desert and the forest. It had a prince and a prime minister of the Lifan Academy and appointed the eldest son of the emperor. Modri, six years old this year, was named Sun Dewei, who was the Han Dynasty, and was responsible for the Lifan Academy. The father-in-law Wu Liji was the Prime Minister of the Lifan Academy and assisted Prince Ren to manage the Lifan Academy.
The Government Council was established, with six major departments: the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Commerce. Sun Xiulin was appointed as the Prime Minister of the Government Council and also served as the Minister of Personnel;
Appoint Han Chengying as Minister of Rites;
Appoint Harhatu as Minister of Revenue;
Appoint Yadan as Secretary of Commerce;
Appointed Sun Xiujie as Minister of Justice;
Sun Dao was appointed as Minister of Works.
The Privy Council was set up to be responsible for national military affairs. One Privy Councilor was set up, with the father-in-law Sahalian and the deputy envoy, Sun Chuanyu.
The Tongzheng Envoy Department was established to assist the emperor in handling the affairs of the vassal court, the Government Affairs Council, and the Privy Council. The Tongzheng Envoy was established, with a Tongzheng Envoy, whose status was equal to that of the Six Ministers, and Liu Ruoyu was appointed as the deputy envoy, and Wang Wenhui was appointed as the deputy envoy.
The Censorate was set up, and under the Tongzheng Envoy Department, with one commander, Wang Wenhui and one deputy commander, and Gali was appointed.
The army is divided into three parts: field army, local defenders and militia.
No matter what position a male person in Daxia is, who is over 18 years old, except for formally participating in the field army and local defenders, he needs to participate in militia training for one month every year. During the training, the Privy Council is responsible for food and clothing.
Militia training is mostly conducted in winter when it is not suitable for grazing and farming.
The Central Army was set up, and the yamen was located in Yangdu. Sun Chuanyu was also the commander of the division. It was under the command of one Guard (New) Cavalry Brigade (4500 people), one Guard Infantry Brigade (4500 people), one Cavalry Brigade (4500 people), one Guard Artillery Corps (1000 people, fifty Nebuchu bronze cannons), respectively, with Akdun, Chen Wensheng and Zhang Jun as commanders, with a total of 15,000.
Sun Chuanyu also served as the commander of the Cavalry Brigade.
The Oriental Legion was set up, with the yamen in Changchun, and Zhuketu was the commander of the division. It was under the command of one Guard (New) Cavalry Brigade (4500), one Guard Infantry Brigade (4500), one Cavalry Brigade (4500), and one Guard Artillery Corps. Chuckdan (Guard Cavalry Brigade) and Leng Yun (Guard Infantry Brigade) were commanders, with a total of 15,000.
Zhuketu also served as the commander of the Cavalry Brigade.
The Western legion was set up, with the yamen in Ulanwude, and was commanded by the Alin Aren Division. It was under the command of one Guard (New) Cavalry Brigade (4500), one Guard Infantry Brigade (4500), one Cavalry Brigade (4500), and one Guard Artillery Corps (4500), and one Guard Artillery Corps. Kak Duli (Guard Cavalry Brigade) and Wang Chengluan (Guard Infantry Brigade) were commanders, with a total of 15,000.
Alina also served as the commander of the Cavalry Brigade.
The Odoli Cavalry Independent Brigade was also set up, with a force of 5,000, Ensuo was the commander, mainly the tiger cavalry fighting in the mountains;
The Ulanhada Cavalry Independent Brigade, with a force of 5,000, Xiao Alin was the commander;
Aqin's Independent Cavalry Independent Brigade, with a force of 5,000, Guo Tiancai was the commander.
The total strength of the field army is 60,000, plus the local defenders in various places, the total number of army troops is nearly 80,000.
Sun Jiaji was appointed as the commander of the Navy and also served as the commander of the First Fleet, stationed on Jeju Island; Suna was appointed as the deputy commander of the Navy and also serve as the commander of the Second Fleet, stationed on Rishiri Island.
The Navy and the Inland Navy had a total of nearly 20,000 troops.
In other words, the Daxia Empire had a population of only 1.3 million (excluding the newly joined Oba and others), and the permanent troops reached 100,000, and the burden was heavy. However, the empire was not short of food and meat. In addition, the huge trade on Jeju Island, it was still fine to bear the salary of the military generals.
Having said that, if the tradition of the grassland empire is fully mobilized, the 60,000 herders in the empire could also dispatch 50,000 cavalry.
Then he enthroned his relatives and ministers.
Buyechuk was appointed Princess Erhe;
He was named the second son, the son of Har Edun. Erjin, who is five years old this year, is the prince of Yi, whose Chinese name is Sun Deen;
He was named the third son, son of Gegentana, and Su De, four years old this year. The Chinese name Sun De'an is Prince Li;
The eldest daughter of Duoxihun, Muteri, six years old this year, the one whose Chinese name is Sun Dezhao is Princess Nebuchu;
The second daughter of Aruna, the daughter of Gugenhas, five years old this year. The Chinese name Sun Dekun is Princess Tushetu;
Sun Chuanlang was named Prince of Yanxi County.
Sun Xiulin was named Prince Duansu. Speaking of which, since joining the Great Xia Empire, Nikan has made no special contributions, but has no major mistakes. However, he is nominally his brother. If he treats him like others, it will be inappropriate. In the end, he was named Prince Duansu, and his name is also full of Nikan's eager expectations.
He was granted Sun Chuanyu the Duke of Zhenguo;
He was granted Sun Xiujie as Duke of Anguo;
The above are all related to Nikan. Needless to say, Sun Chuanyu, the Datong border army did not accept their origins at night and worked as a businessman, but later their main responsibilities were horse thieves. Nikan's first personal guard captain was loyal to Nikan and was just as appropriate to be named Duke Zhenguo;
In Nikan's mind, Sun Xiujie, who was a juren and studied under Xu Guangqi, was the best candidate for the Premier of the State Council. He was honest and upright, proficient in Confucian classics, and had a wide range of knowledge about Western calendars, mathematics, and nature. Unfortunately, he was nominally a distant relative of Nikan.
However, except for the Minister of Justice, Sun Xiujie has never served as the Minister of Justice, and now he has officially established the country and rule of law has become prominent. Letting him, a "royal relative" as the Minister of Justice, is an excellent candidate. Moreover, once Sun Xiulin has any problems, he can make up for it quickly.
Zhu Ketu was named the second-class marquis and the general of Zhendong;
Akdun was granted the second-class marquis and the general of Zhenxi;
Alin A was named the second-class marquis and the general of Zhenbei;
Ensuo was appointed as the second-class marquis and the general of Zhennan;
Xiao Alin was appointed as the third marquis and the general of the East;
Guo Tiancai was appointed as the third marquis and the general of the Western Expedition;
Chakdan was appointed as the third marquis and the general of the southern expedition;
Li Yangeng was appointed as the third marquis and the general of the Northern Expedition;
The rest of the generals are named Earl, Viscount, and Barons, so I will not elaborate them here.
Civilian:
Haerhatu was conferred as a second-class marquis;
Muren was granted the title of second-class marquis;
Liu Ruoyu was named the first-class uncle;
He was conferred the first class uncle;
He was granted the title of the first-class uncle;
He was granted Luo Chengzhi as the first-class uncle;
Marco Van Whigens was named first-class nephew;
The rest are named Earl, Viscount, and Barons, so I will not elaborate them here.
Then he was amnesty for the whole world. In the past three years, anyone sentenced to less than five years will be given, but they were not let go of them in vain.
The royal relatives of the Great Xia Empire, Sun Chuanlang of the Prince of Yanxi, established a Siberian company, absorbed the Fan family, Wang family, Jin family and other Shanxi merchants, and allowed the company to explore vast areas north and east of the Lena River, and these released personnel were given priority to the company.
The authorized businessman Wang Ranming established an American company, absorbed merchants from Yangzhou, Huizhou, Zhejiang and other companies, and allowed the company to explore and explore east and north of Yingzhou, and also accepted some released criminals.
On the third day after the founding of the country, the Daxia Empire officially opened a vocational and won a scholarship for the first time.
What is different from the Ming Dynasty is that half of the content of the enrollment of the imperial examination is still eight-legged articles, while the other half is arithmetic.
The news was released in a month, and Nikan did not have much hope. Han Chengying returned from Yingzhou and was appointed as the Minister of Rites, and the first thing he did was to open a statute to win a scholar, and he naturally tried his best.
Chapter completed!
