Chapter 155: Boyan Timur's Determination

See good news from Tibet. Zhu Qizhen's hanging heart was relaxed.

Although the scene in the Western Regions was a little bigger, Zhu Qizhen was more worried about the situation in Tibet.

After all, Fan Guang is the real labor expedition. Outnumbered.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen breathed a sigh of relief, and after a slight thought, he ordered the establishment of the Tibet Capital Division. The seat of administration is in Lhasa.

Ling Fan Guang was appointed as the commander of the Tibet Metropolitan Division, in charge of all Tibetan ministries. Of course, the original situation in Tibet is business as before, and it is easier not to do it.

Everything is based on safety.

Although the Ming army has now achieved a military victory, Zhu Qizhen must also divide the princes under the condition that everything is settled.

The situation in Tibet has been determined. The good news from the Western Regions also came quickly.

Although Fang Jin's army had not yet entered Hami, Shi Heng was an impatient, and at this moment he had already exceeded the original plan, and even lost contact with the rear for a while.

The imperial court didn't know for a while where Shi Heng was now.

But calculate the time, it should be at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

Zhu Qizhen deeply missed the exchange of information on the future, but he also knew that it was very normal to not get news from the front line within ten days and half a month.

Zhu Qizhen is also used to it.

"Your Majesty," Wynne said, "there is news of the Loyal Prince, this news was ten days ago, and the Loyal Monarch has already passed the Golden Mountain. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Isn't it already the lair of the tile spur." ”

Wynne said, "Your Majesty Shengming. ”

Zhu Qizhen bowed his head slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "There must be a fierce battle." ”

It's just that Zhu Qizhen's expectation was wrong.

Shiheng's army divided into several routes and swept across the entire Jungar Basin.

As Zhu Qizhen said, the left side of Jinshan is the Wathorn tribe, which has lived since the time of Genghis Khan.

Shi Heng also wants to fight a big battle here, in his opinion. This should be the stronghold of the Tile Thorn, and the Tile Thorn should be lined with heavy troops.

It's just that I never expected that the army would be the first to pounce into the air.

Then he sent a large army to search carefully. Only then did some herders and several herdsmen's settlements be found in the Jungar Basin. However, among the herdsmen left here, there are very few herdsmen from the Washuang headquarters, all of them are displaced people from other departments, and some herdsmen have escaped from Mobei.

Although there are more than 10,000 people in total, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled.

This was beyond Shi Heng's expectations.

Shi Heng sent people to search around and get the news. The center of gravity of the tile spur in the northern part of the Tianshan Mountains is in Yili. That is, the Ili of later generations.

It's just that now that his whereabouts have been leaked, Shi Heng has swept all the pastures north of the Tianshan Mountains with great fanfare, and those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me die. Mighty to the west.

Let Yili put it in

I can't even if I don't know.

Boyan Timur, who stayed behind, did not dare to slack off, but he did not dare to attack, because since last year, Azi Timur has led this army to the west.

Last summer he broke through the capital of the Chagatai Khanate, the city of Nahesha Bu,

Just when the Heshute tribe was sweeping Tibet, Azi Timur also took the black sand as the center, recruited rebels everywhere, swept the vicinity, and brought the land of the original Chagatai Khanate, as well as a small part of the land of the Timurid Khanate, into its jurisdiction.

In other words, the southeastern part of Kazakhstan and the northern part of Afghanistan in Central Asia are no smaller than Xinjiang Province.

It's just that now it's new.

Azi Timur placed the main force of the Watt Thorn and his troops in this area. And to suppress the place with heavy troops. After all, the places that have just been incorporated under the rule cannot be completely absorbed for a while.

In the face of the military situation in the East.

Azi Timur secretly miscalculated.

After all, in his mind, with Zhu Qizhen's original nature, he has always been calm and will not attack from all sides. Even if they are dissatisfied with the changes in the Western Regions, they will first solve Tibet and cut its wings. Then attack the Western Regions.

In this way, he also has a buffer period of one or two years.

But now it seems that this is just empty talk.

At this time, it was impossible for Azi Timur to transfer troops from Central Asia back to the Western Regions.

He could only write a letter asking Boyan Timur to withdraw from the Western Regions.

And in the letter, he specially exhorted that when the army moves, the consumption is hundreds of millions, from the Ming Dynasty to the Western Regions, not to mention the number of thousands of miles, the consumption is huge, not to mention the number of hundreds of millions.

Even if the Ming army got the horses of the south and the north, it was also a heavy burden.

It is impossible to keep the army in the Western Regions for a long time.

As long as he waits for the main force of the Ming army to withdraw from the Western Regions, he can lead the headquarters of the tile spur to counterattack, making the Western Regions a bleeding wound for the Ming Dynasty, and he will never let the Ming army be satisfied.

Of course, Attimur himself knew that this was an unlikely thing, especially after he easily destroyed the Chagatai Khanate.

He discovered the fact that compared to fighting with the Ming Dynasty in the east, it is better for the army to move west.

The same tile spur 100,000 iron cavalry, in the face of the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, can deal with 350,000 at most, it is impossible to have more, but against these countries in Central Asia, it is easy to capture.

You know, the Golden Horde collapsed and split into many small khanates, and the Timurid Khanate was also torn apart with the death of Timur.

Aztimur found that he would not meet an opponent who could really raise up a hundred thousand cavalry.

Similarly, the cavalry of the Tile Spur Headquarters that was sharpened in the high-intensity battle with the Ming army, although it was weaker than the cavalry of the previous era, was more of a problem with equipment and materials.

When it comes to quality, it's not much worse.

The reason why the Ming army could not be defeated was not that the cavalry of the tile spur headquarters had become weaker, but that the cavalry of the Ming army had become stronger. So the tile spur rides

The combat effectiveness of the soldiers may be superior to the newly emerging Ottomans, and none of these small countries can compare with him.

Of course, Azi Timur also encountered his own troubles. That's the problem of Islam.

Most of the Wathorns also inherited the original Mongolian faith, which was shamanism.

Of course, the primitive religion of shamanism cannot compete with many other religions, such as Buddhism, such as Islam.

Between the Tang and Song dynasties, Muslimism had already killed the Buddhists in the Western Regions. The Buddha Kingdom of the Western Regions no longer exists. Nowadays in the Western Regions, there is a lot of inheritance of Islam, but Tibetan Buddhism is not jealous.

Just take a sample of the Seven Guards of the Kansai region and look at it separately, there are those who believe in Islam and those who believe in Tibetan Buddhism, which is almost a hodgepodge.

But the farther the Watt Thorn army farther west, the more trouble the Muslims brought to him.

It gradually became the most troublesome thing for Azi Timur.

Although Timur replied very quickly, when Timur received the letter, it was already the time when the soldiers were in the city.

After Boyan opened the letter, he was dull for a while.

Looking at the east, a group of cavalry also tried their best to move inside and outside the city. It doesn't seem to have a sense of putting the war in front of you into the eye.

Boyan Timur said: "Gather all the people together." ”

The cavalry of the Tile Spur Headquarters is no more than tens of thousands in Yili. Counting the generals, there are only a few hundred.

Boyan Timur said: "From our ancestors we were all in the Western Regions, and now it has been hundreds of years, and our pastures in the east have been occupied by the Ming army. But the Great Khan had already chosen a new pasture for us to the west. ”

"It's just that I'm not reconciled."

"Could it be that our hometown, just like this, did not fight and gave it to Daming. Don't I have a boy in my thorns? ”

"I'm old, my hair is gray, I can't draw a strong bow, I can't ride a fast horse, and I know that this is the Immortal Heaven calling me. Early death and late death, for me, what is the difference, the Great Khan needs your assistance, and I will not stay, which of you is willing to stay and die with me. ”

Boyan Timur did this, of course, because of these words he said. On the other hand, he found a loophole in Azi Timur.

The Ming Dynasty took the beheading as the merit, launched hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and attacked from afar, although a large amount of land was harvested, but there was no weighty head, how to satisfy the Ming army, how to make these army leaders willing to stop.

True.

The logistical line of the Ming army was stretched very long. From the Ming Dynasty to the Western Regions, and then from the Western Regions to Central Asia, it is a completely different concept. But the general who led the army was Shi Heng.

Other generals may be able to measure it sensibly.

Shi Heng is crazy, who can predict it in advance.

So Boyan Timur decided to give the Ming army a credit, that is, the head of his Boyan Timur. Let the Ming people know that at the critical moment, not only the Ming Dynasty has people who promise the country.

Tile spurs are also available.
