254 [Soldiers in Hami]
Zhengde 10 years, early February.
The snow had not yet melted, and Wang Yuan had returned to Suzhou.
The Governor of the Vultures, Dike, came with a Mongol to pay a visit: "Master Wang, this is the envoy sent by Yibuci. ”
The Mongolian envoy knelt down on one knee: "Mongolian remnants, I have seen His Excellency the Governor of the Celestial Empire!" ”
Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Yibuci seems to often rob the border of the Ming Dynasty." ”
He said: "They don't understand etiquette and religion, and they already know that they are wrong. ”
Wang Yuan didn't pursue it, but only asked, "Why did Yibuci send you to see me?" ”
The Mongol envoy explained: "The Great Khan of my family heard that Wang Bachelor was going to conquer Turpan, and he was willing to send a thousand cavalry to clear the border troubles for the Ming Dynasty!" ”
"This is unusual," Wang Yuan asked with a smile, "What does Yi Buci want?" Go ahead! ”
The Mongolian envoy said: "First, I ask the Ming Emperor to allow my clan to stay in the West Sea; Second, ask the Ming Emperor to allow the Bu'er children to pass through Gansu and stay in Muquxian. ”
Wang Yuan asked rhetorically: "Let the Bu'er children's department stay in Qu Xian, where is the Ming Dynasty's Qu Xianwei grazing?" ”
He reminded: "Master Wang, Qu Xianwei has already existed in name only, and has long been wiped out by the Yibuci tribe. ”
Wang Yuan was stunned, and then sneered: "Very good, very good!" ”
Qu Xianwei belonged to one of the seven guards in Guanxi, and Wang Yuan still wanted to gather some soldiers and horses, but he didn't expect to be wiped out by Yibu's second department long ago.
Yibuci was originally the co-head of Yongshebu and Ordos, and was stationed in the Hetao area. A few years ago, he killed the second son of the little Mongolian prince, and was beaten by the little Mongolian prince so that he could not take care of himself, so he could only lead more than 10,000 people to flee the loop.
Initially, these more than 10,000 Mongols fled to the west of Yansui Town, and were beaten by the Yansui army and ran to Liangzhou. Their request to settle in Liangzhou was rejected by the Liangzhou guards, so they could only continue to nomadize along the border of the Ming Dynasty, and finally swam to the area where the Seven Guards of Kansai were located.
Don't look at these Mongols, there are more than 10,000 people, but they belong to the frightened birds, and they don't dare to attack the guards such as Chijin and Shazhou.
They could only cautiously continue southward and compete with Qu Xian, Anding and other guards for pasture. In desperation, he broke the four guards in the south and destroyed Qu Xianwei directly, but he also suffered heavy losses.
Seeing that Turpan was coming, they did not dare to stay in the land of Guanxi, and fled to the northern part of Qinghai. Because of the repeated invasions and plundering, the Gansu defenders were enraged, and they were beaten by troops.
As for the Bu'er children's department, it is a subordinate tribe of Yibuci, and now it can't hold on in the Hetao area, and wants to cross the border of the Ming Dynasty to settle in Quxian.
These guys are the predecessors of West Sea Mongolia!
Wang Yuan glanced at Yi Ke and asked, "The old general has a good relationship with Yi Buci?" ”
Xiang Ke stabbed embarrassed: "Yi Bu and I are sons and daughters. ”
This old general who is most loyal to the Ming Dynasty seems to be loyal like that. Yi Bu Ci wiped out one of the Seven Guards of Kansai, and he actually quietly married Yi Bu Ci, I am afraid that he also took a fancy to Yi Bu Ci's bloodline.
His father was a Vulture, but his mother was from a Mongolian golden family. If the son marries the Golden Family again, then the heir born will have three-quarters of the Golden Family bloodline.
Hell the bloodline theory, but the Western Regions value this set!
These Mongols can't be killed, and if they lose the battle, they will run away to nomadic places and come back after a few years. Moreover, Yibuci is now in the West Sea, and he can invade Gansu at any time and make Gansu Town too troublesome.
Although the Gansu officials continued to win battles, the more they fought, the more tired they became, and they actually bribed Yibuci to ask this old man to go farther. But after two years of leaving, Yi Buci came back, presumably because the pasture here was more abundant, and I hope that Daming will allow them to stay here.
Thinking carefully about the stakes, Wang Yuan said: "Go back and tell Yi Buci that I can be the master and accept his request, but I also have four requirements. ”
The Mongolian envoy hurriedly said, "Master Wang, please speak." ”
Wang Yuan said: "First, Yibuci and Bu'er must respect the son of tomorrow as the co-lord and accept the canonization of the Ming court; second, the leaders of these two tribes must accept the official positions of the Ming court; Third, the Ming Dynasty sent the monks to settle in the tribe, and the monks in the tribe must be managed by the Ming Dynasty; Fourth, these two tribes must welcome the Buddha, and the living Buddha will be canonized by the Ming Dynasty for generations, and each generation of living Buddha in the future must be canonized by the imperial court! ”
The Mongol envoy said, "I will definitely go back and report the truth." ”
After 20 days, the snow gradually melted away, and Yibuci personally led his army to the border of Gansu.
Yibuci, who once dominated the Hetao, how embarrassing is the situation at this time? Historically, Peng Ze, who quietly negotiated peace with Turpan, had a fight with Yibuci before returning to Beijing, and completely regarded Yibuci as a soft persimmon used to vent his anger.
The four conditions proposed by Wang Yuan were all agreed to by Yibu Ci, and now he just wants to survive!
Mid-March.
Wang Yuan led the army to the battle, and only led cavalry.
1,000 Beijing rides, 2,000 side rides, 1,000 Yibu Mongolian rides, and 1,000 Buer Mongolian rides (Bu'er children have quickly entered the Ming Dynasty with the permission of Gansu Town).
Out of Jiayu Pass, and along the way continue to increase troops, obtained 500 Chijin Mongolian cavalry, 600 Han Eastern Mongolian cavalry (Handong Zuowei 200, Han Dongwei 400), 800 Shazhou Mongolian cavalry, 200 Aduan Mongolian cavalry, 100 Anding Mongolian cavalry.
The number of cavalry was as high as seven thousand two hundred!
If you were a Ming official, you wouldn't dare to fool around like this. There may be officials who negotiate peace without authorization, but those who promise to reward land without authorization are not, and it is a capital offense to investigate afterwards.
When the seven thousand cavalry came to Hami City, the Hami rebels were directly dumbfounded.
The Thorn rode forward and shouted: "I am the Governor of Hami and the Vultures, the army of the court has arrived, and I don't want to open the door and surrender quickly!" ”
A quarter of the soldiers in this city belonged to the old subordinates of the Assassins. As soon as he shouted like this, he increased the number of troops from outside the country, which immediately made the hearts of the troops in Hami City fluctuate.
"Whoever opens the gates of the city without permission, die!" He was furious.
He was only the fireman who stayed behind to guard the city after Turpan occupied Hami.
The Fire One, also translated: Hezhuo, Huazhe, Hoxha, Tiger, etc. At first, it was a Persian word, which means lord, chief, elder, and gentleman, and gradually it has the meaning of master, master, and hegemony.
Wang Yuan smiled and raised his hand, and immediately hundreds of horses rushed out, wandering around the city, and frantically firing arrows towards the city.
The purpose was not to kill people, but to shoot into the city to persuade the faith.
When he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately scolded: "Burn all the letters!" ”
If you can't finish burning, it is inevitable that a few letters will be hidden.
At night, Wang Yuan had set up camp outside the city, but the city was in a strange atmosphere.
Returning to the governor to write Yihu Xian, he quietly came to him with a letter: "Venerable Fire One, have you read this letter?" ”
"Don't look at it, it's a ploy of the Han people." He only said.
Write Yihu Immortal said: "The letter asks the Manchu Ha San to raise a fire in the middle of the night tonight and open the city to welcome the army of the Ming court!" As long as Manchu Hasan does so, after the matter is completed, the Ming court will no longer hold him responsible, but will give a reward. ”
He only said angrily: "I said it, this is a ploy of the Han people, don't mention this matter again." ”
"What if Hasan really obeys orders? Although he returned, his soldiers were Mongols. Writing Yihu Xian worriedly.
He was suddenly silent, not knowing what was going on in his head.
He continued: "Manchu Ha San should be put under house arrest and his freedom should be restored after the Han army has withdrawn. ”
He paced back and forth, and then said to his attendants, "Keep a strict watch on the Mongol and Vultures soldiers in the city, and bring me the Manchu Hasan, and say that I have invited him to discuss the defense of the city." ”
On the other side of the city, Hasan was also holding a letter.
"General, let's open the city, it's too late!" A middle-aged Han man persuaded.
Manchu Ha San hesitated, he was more inclined to Da Ming in his heart, but he was afraid that Turpan would come back in a few days.
The middle-aged Han man said again: "General, this is a discordant plan, and it is an upright conspiracy. In this Hami city, there is the old department of the Dikepo Thorn, and now the Dhack Thorn is outside the city, and his old department is already ready to move. Most of the soldiers under the general's command were Mongols, and many of them were eager to stab him with half of his golden blood. Even if the general doesn't have a different heart, will the fire man believe you? He'll kill you! ”
Ha San still couldn't make up his mind, he always had an ostrich mentality.
Suddenly, his only man came: "General, the firefighter has asked you to go and discuss the defense of the city." ”
Hearing this, Ha San was shocked, and subconsciously looked at the Han man, and the middle-aged Han man quietly blinked.
The man stabbed Hasan immediately burst out, drew his sword and hacked the compelling to death, and said angrily: "He is only Ding, you forced me." Pass my order, set fire to the house, and open the city to welcome the king! ”
