272 [Western Regions Coming to Dynasty]
The leader of the small column bald tribe, Abu Liu, died, and was beheaded by the remnants of 4,000 Turpan on the shore of Balikun Lake!
Weng Gaocha took the remnants of the bald tribe of Xiao Lie and went to his uncle Polohan, the two were very close to each other, and both were grazing around Lake Balikun.
Polo Khan immediately gathered his warriors and fought back with Ongocha.
The remnants of Turpan couldn't stand it, after all, they fought again and again, from the morning before (ambushed by Li Ying) until the early morning of the next day, and only rested for two or three hours halfway. Even if people can bear it, the war horses can't bear it, and Polo Khan and Weng Gaocha can easily attack at night.
Of the 4,000 Turpan cavalry, some were hacked to death on the spot, some were captured as slaves, and only a few hundred cavalry fled further west.
When Polo Khan and Weng Gaocha came to Hami to see Wang Yuan in person, Wang Erlang was so made to laugh out loud by the news - the north of Hami is worry-free, and the Xiaolie Bald Department has been hit hard by this, and can only rely on the Ming Dynasty for decades to come.
The next step is to divide the spoils...... Well, on merit rewards!
Wang Yuan rebelled and only allowed the Yibu tribe to graze in the West Sea (eastern and northern Qinghai). As for the Bu'er children's department, they were thrown by Wang Yuan to Yangji Bali and Weilumu, and said that it was a place with abundant water and grass, and Yangji Bali was one of the largest cities in the Western Regions.
The real purpose is not to let these two Ordos Mongol tribes join together in Qinghai, otherwise they will inevitably threaten Gansu decades later.
Wang Yuan threw one of them in Qinghai and the other in northern Xinjiang, with a distance of three or four thousand miles, and it was pure nonsense to want to make trouble together.
Yi Bu Ci and Bu Er'er couldn't say anything yet, because Wang Yuan rewarded them with good places!
The small bald tribe received some captives and goods, and promised to resume the tea and horse trade, so that these unlucky people could eat tea in the future. For nomads, tea is very important and directly increases the average life expectancy.
The Kansai Seven Guards also received some of the spoils, including the captured population. The greatest benefit they received was that Turpan had been destroyed and would not be plundered every year in the future.
Yamulan and the surrendered tribesmen were given the cities of Liucheng as their territory. Wang Yuan planned to set up Liuchengwei and let Yamulan serve as the governor of Liuchengwei.
As for the cities of Turpan and Huozhou, they were left by Wang Yuan to Zhu Dangshu, the king of Guishan.
These were all made by Wang Yuan without authorization, and he couldn't wait for the official reward from the imperial court.
Except for Da Ming, Yi Bu Ci and Bu Er'er, the other forces are all losers. The land of Turpan and Kansai suffered heavy losses, the population plummeted, and all industries withered, and this year's production could not be guaranteed, and the small column bald department was even more miserable and wanted to cry without tears.
Wang Yuan could only ask the imperial court for relief, and at the same time use the looted gold and silver to buy grain and other materials from the Jin merchants.
On this day, Wang Yuan was enjoying a fragrant massage, and suddenly received a report: "General Wang, Yarkand Khan sent a messenger to meet!" ”
"Bring them in." Wang Yuan said.
There were more than ten people in the envoy group, and the leader knelt directly on the ground: "Yeerqiang Khan's national firefighter Zamera, meet His Excellency General Daming." ”
Wang Yuan said, "Get up, why did Yarkand Khan send you and others?" ”
Zamera said: "My lord Said, I heard that the land of Turpan has returned to the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and I ask the Ming Emperor to canonize it, and in the future, it will be a Ming vassal state forever, and pay tribute to the Celestial Dynasty every year!" ”
What canonization, what vassal state, it's all nonsense, only the "tribute" is true.
The so-called tribute is trade.
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Man Su'er is Said's own brother, and now that I have captured Man Su'er, doesn't Sayid come to me for revenge?" ”
Zamera said: "Man Su'er is brutal and bloodthirsty, stubborn and self-serving, has slaughtered and driven away his brother several times, General Ming is avenging my lord, how can my lord be resentful because of this?" ”
Wang Yuan said: "In this case, you can lead the envoy group and go to see the emperor together." ”
Wang Yuan destroyed Turpan this time, it was definitely the north and south of the Megatron Mountains, and all the surrounding vassal states and tribes sent envoys to meet him.
Among them, the Sultan of the Yarkand Khanate, Said, was even more frightened and unable to sleep, because his territory bordered most of Turpan, but it was separated by the Gobi and the desert - not all of them.
The entire Western Regions used to be the world of the Chagatai Khanate.
After the fall of the Chagatai Khanate, it was divided into countless forces, among which the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Western Chagatai Khanate were the largest, and the unification was completed again by a guy named Bald Timur.
As soon as Timur the Bald died, the Western Chahetai nobles immediately rebelled, and although their successors succeeded in suppressing it, they themselves died of the post-war plague.
After two successive sweats, the ambitionists popped up.
A Mongol nobleman named Hammaruddin tried in vain to call himself the Great Khan. But he was not a descendant of the Golden Family, and had no legal right to inherit the Great Khan at all.
What to do?
Kill those who have the right to inherit and you're done.
This guy, in one day, killed eighteen sons of the old khan, and then claimed that the Golden Family was extinct.
Such an act finally provoked a generation of killing god Timur. Under the banner of avenging the Golden Family, he not only reunited the Eastern and Western Chagatai Khanates, but also defeated the Persian Empire to the point that it could not take care of itself, defeated the newly revived Golden Horde, defeated the emerging power Ottoman Empire, and robbed the Delhi Sultanate.
However, Timur only knew how to fight, and did not engage in production at all. Even, after he defeated the Eastern Chagatai Empire, he didn't bother to rule here, and directly led his troops to open a scoop with Persia and the Ottomans.
So, the ancestor of Man Suer and Said, another god killer Hei'er appeared.
Hei'er was the only prince who survived after being slaughtered of the eighteen golden family bloodlines that year, and was hidden to escape because of his young age. The Turpan area was also blackened and turned green, killing the largest city in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, "Jiaohe Ancient City".
Now there are two powerhouses in the Western Regions, one is the Uzbek Khanate and the other is the Kazakh Khanate.
In particular, the Uzbek Khanate was attacked by the forces of the four sides, but the enemy was beaten one by one.
A few years ago, Saeed was driven away by his brother Mansuer, and was beaten by the Uzbek Khanate so that he could not take care of himself. Abba Huqier, who claimed to be the Khan of Yue, actually came to copy the back road of Said, and Said's could only be forced to fight back, leading 1,500 cavalry to defeat 20,000 enemies and capture more than 3,000 people.
Sayed, who had grown in strength, heard that his cousin Babur had the support of Ismain (the Persian emperor), and Ismain sent an army of 60,000 to attack the Uzbek Khanate. Saeed immediately led 5,000 troops to the convergence, but halfway through, he was killed by the Uzbek Khanate. At the same time, nearly 100,000 troops of Babur and the Persian Empire were also killed by the Uzbek Khanate.
In the face of the pursuit of the Uzbek Khanate, the coalition army relied on the strategy of clearing the wilderness, and the Persian Empire was finally not driven straight in.
There was no way, Saeed's cousin Babur was frightened by the Uzbek Khanate, and he didn't dare to provoke Tiger Whiskers anymore, so he could only invade India in the south and establish the Mughal dynasty in India.
Sayed was also frightened by the Uzbek Khanate, so he could only come back to bully Abba Qier, and by the way, he recovered the original capital Aksu, and established the Yarkand Khanate last year.
Well, the Mughal Dynasty, which later almost unified India, and the Yarkand Khanate, which almost unified Xinjiang, were both defeated by the Uzbek Khanate and forced to withdraw from Central Asia before they were founded.
Unless Wang Yuan was given tens of thousands of well-trained musketeers, he would not dare to touch the tiger whiskers of the Uzbek Khanate. What's more, next to the Uzbek Khanate, there was also a Kazakh Khanate with 300,000 troops and descendants of the Blue Horde.
As long as Wang Yuan continues to fight westward, he will be able to easily seize the western region of Xinjiang in the future, and border Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan at the same time!
As soon as the envoy sent by the Yarkand Khanate left, the envoy from the Uzbek Khanate also came. There is no doubt that they all got the news of the destruction of Turpan and wanted to re-establish trade relations with the Ming Dynasty.
When Man Suer controlled Turpan, trade between Central Asia and the Ming Dynasty was completely cut off.
Many of the tributaries (trade) recorded in the historical records of the Ming Dynasty are fake, and they were impersonated by people sent by Turpan.
At one time, it should have been true, Samarkand (Uzbek Khanate) took the sea route to pay tribute. At that time, Uzbekistan occupied a large part of the territory of Persia, and caravans could cross a small country to the sea, bringing with them lions, parrots and other exotic animals.
As a result, it was rejected by the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Hongzhi Dynasty on the grounds that Samarkand (Uzbekistan) was a vassal state of the Western Regions, and the South China Sea was not a tribute to the Western Regions. This was not the right way and violated etiquette, so they refused to accept tribute (trade). But they are all guests from afar, we don't want your tribute, we can give some rewards casually.
It is estimated that the Great Khan of Uzbekistan, after learning this reason, must have collapsed in his heart. Lao Tzu is about to hit the sea in Persia, how convenient it is to trade by sea, why do you have to go on a land route to do business?
For the next few months, Wang Yuan stayed in Turpan to deal with the aftermath, waiting for merchants to bring in grain, and waiting for a series of approvals from the imperial court.
The Sultan of Turpan Mansuer and several firefighters in Turpan were escorted into Beijing by the officers and soldiers of Gansu Town. On the same road, the leaders of the northern and southern tribes of the Tianshan Mountains, as well as the envoys of the Yarkand Khanate, and the envoys of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan also followed.
Not to mention that all countries are coming to court, it must be the countries of the Western Regions coming to court, Zhu Houzhao is estimated to be crazy with joy!
