The Pingbei army entered the city smoothly, rushed to the city tower as soon as possible, and captured all the remaining enemies with less than 100 people on the city tower. Those Yarkand soldiers also knew their situation, so they didn't resist, they didn't want to die, they also have families with wives and sons, once they die, their families will starve to death and even their wives will be reduced to dusty women.

"Yarkand played, this will be the place of the Ming army in the future." A captured Yarkand soldier bowed his head and sighed heavily, he was in his forties this year, he grew up in the city of Yarkand, his father was also a soldier, but he had already died. At home in the city, he has an elderly mother, a lovely wife, and a three-year-old child. It is really a typical representative of the old and the young.

"If I die, Min'er, Min'er might fall into the dust—"

The change of owner of Yarkand, as long as he does not kill his relatives, then it will have no impact on him, no matter who rules Yarkand City, he can still live well.

"During the reign of Abdullah, the city of Yarkand was full of people's voices. Incompetent, oppressive to the people. Maybe after the Ming army ruled the city of Yarkand, it would be better, I heard that this was the place ruled by the Central Plains thousands of years ago. ”

While the Yarkand captives were squatting together on the towers under the guard of several Pingbei troops, the remaining Pingbei troops had already captured Abdullah.

It turned out that when Abdullaha was attacked by an unknown number of more than 5,000 people, although he led his soldiers and horses to fight bravely, he was still outnumbered, and finally he was defeated, and his 2,000 soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, but there were also many casualties on his enemies, and finally Abdullaha was captured. Abu also died in the fighting. I don't know who slashed Abu with a knife.

Abdullah's body was covered in blood at the moment, and there were blood stains on his forehead.

"Got Abdullah! Caught! ”

The soldiers shouted excitedly, and then a steady stream of Pingbei troops poured into the city. Liu Dazhuang also entered Yarkand through the city gate under the protection of his personal guards.

Then, except for a large group of men and horses escorting the pale-faced and hollow-eyed Abdullah, the rest of the soldiers and horses, plus the soldiers and horses of several other regiments that came in from outside, went from house to house to arrest and seal up those who did not return.

"Bring Abdullaha up!" One of the guards beside Liu Dazhuang shouted loudly, and the soldiers who were holding Abdullaha not far away excitedly grabbed Abdullaha and walked towards Liu Dazhuang one by one. They are all soldiers at the bottom, where have they seen the immortal-like Liu Dazhuang, and now they can take a closer look, which is enough for them to go back and brag to their comrades.

They were glad to think of it, but Abdullah's face was drooping, his face was expressionless, and his eyes were empty. It's like he's dead. Indeed, his heart is dead. The moment he was captured, his soul was gone.

As the Great Khan of Yarkand, he was very clear about the punishment he faced when he was caught, and he had often tortured to death those who did not obey him.

"That's Abdullah?" Although Liu Dazhuang has seen it in the portrait, when he sees the real person, Liu Dazhuang still speaks to confirm it.

However, what made Liu Dazhuang a little annoyed was that this Abdullaha didn't dump him at all and didn't say a word. One of the soldiers behind him couldn't stand it anymore, so he slammed his fist into Abdullah's back, only to hear a crisp sound of broken bones, and Abdullaha screamed. Got on his knees.

"Stop!" Liu Dazhuang shouted.

This can't kill him, Liu Dazhuang himself has no right to deal with the king of a country privately. This person will be transported to Luoyang and handed over to Liu Xia to deal with. So before, Liu Dazhuang tried not to let Abdullaha die. Of course, if Abdullaha is killed, Liu Xia will not mind too much, but the others are different.

Maybe someone was stunned and jealous of his position as the commander of the Northwest Division, so he played a copy. Then even if he Liu Dazhuang is not taken down, he will not be happy. They can completely charge Liu Dazhuang with rebellion.

Now there are not a few people who are jealous of Liu Dazhuang, but there are not many people who triumph in his position, because most of the people who are jealous of him are middle and low-level officers and even some civilian officials. Regardless of whether Liu Dazhuang lives or dies, these people are unwilling to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Expedition.

Middle- and lower-ranking officers need to be slowly promoted to senior officers before they have the opportunity to serve as the commander-in-chief. As for the civil officials, they can only envy it. Because Liu Xia has a clear rule that civilian officials are not allowed to interfere in the military. Under the rule of the Pingbei Army, it was not like the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, not only literati could interfere in the military, but even the eunuchs could too.

Of course, not all military and political attachés are military attachés, and there are still literati. For example, those who joined the military department, many of them were scholars, but because they wanted to serve Liu Xia, they became soldiers. Regarded as a Confucian general. Of course, the premise is that you have the ability to become a general.

This kind of civilian is not the same as those civil officials in the civil administration, and it is not a system.

Liu Dazhuang screamed angrily, and the soldier was so frightened that he took two steps back before standing firmly, which made him very frightened in his heart, and secretly kept looking at Liu Dazhuang, seeing that Liu Dazhuang had no angry expression, he was finally relieved.

"Abdullah, don't think that if you don't speak, this general can't do anything to you, and someone will arrest all the Yarkand royal family. You can't kill the general, but the other generals can kill as much as they want. ”

"You—" Abdullaha glared.

——————————

The news of the capture of the Yarkand city and the capture of the Great Khan of Yarkand soon spread to Liu Xia in the palace of King Zheng in Luoyang.

The situation in the northwest is not too important to Liu Xia. At present, Liu Xia believes that the most important thing is the northern Tartar and the southern Wu Sangui. These two forces are the focus of his attention. However, since the northwest has made a breakthrough and has a record. He would not be stingy, so he immediately asked the logistics department to sort out the gold and silver items for the reward. He also asked the military department to give them a certain promotion according to the military industry they sent, and also awarded some medals for brave combatants.

Then Liu Xia asked the newspaper to publicize the victory in the northwest. These times, Sichuan has long been no news, so there is very little news of victory. So the battle of the Northwest Expedition to break through Yarkand was on the front page. And let people understand what kind of country Yarkand is.

According to the newspapers, Yarkand was full of cannibalistic aristocrats, and the Great Khan of Yarkand was a demon who ate people and did not spit out bones, and needed a virgin to serve him every day. Those who do not obey will be killed, or boiled and eaten.

It was really a demon who killed people without blinking, and at the same time, the newspaper said something from the perspective of the local people against the Yarkand Khanate and in support of the Pingbei Army.

Suddenly, the remote places in the Western Regions became a topic of conversation among the people under the rule of the Pingbei Army.

"Tell Da Zhuang to let him rest for a while, and after digesting all the Yarkand territory, he will attack the Dzungar Khanate in the north. None of these people can stay. There is also an acceleration of the construction of train tracks. Try to repair to Hami. ”

Luo Chengxian, the chief of the railway department next to him, kept nodding his head, and a follower behind him kept writing.

"How is the construction of the railway from Luoyang to Jiaozhou?" Liu Xia thought for a while and suddenly asked.

Luo Chengxian said: "Back to the prince, the railway from Luoyang to Jiaozhou we built is divided into two parts, one part extends outward from Hugao Pass, and the other is built from Jiaozhou to Luoyang, and now it will soon be able to be closed." As long as the Yellow River Bridge is completed, it will be open to traffic in a few days. It's just that the Yellow River Bridge is really not easy to build. The Yellow River is too wide, and it is too difficult to repair it. If the foundation is not stable, the river will collapse when it rushes. ”

Indeed, in this era, it was not easy to build the Yellow River Bridge. Even the 21st century is not an easy project. The famous Pinghan Railway Yellow River Bridge was built during the Qing Dynasty and took four years to design in 1901 and be completed in 1905.
