Chapter 323 Tumut Ministry

While cleaning up the bodies, the field artillery simply retreated back to the camp. It's close to autumn, and the nights on the plateau aren't warm. In the afternoon, the Han army didn't want to go out.

The shelling was canceled, but the Han army interpreter also sent an envoy to Xining City.

Only by being strong can people be respected, even if this translator is just an ordinary middle-aged person, Da Siwan does not dare to despise it.

"Commander Siwan, the Empire's heart to recover Qinghai is extremely firm, please don't help yourself!" The translator is just a businessman who walks the plateau, but he didn't expect to be able to talk to the coach of Xining on an equal footing.

Reconquista? Answer: Siwan's face is cold! If it is said that the recovery of Xining is still said in the past, it is too much to recover Qinghai! It occupies not only nearly half of the territory of the plateau, but also the territory of the Qaidam Basin and the Tatar Tumut region.

"Han envoy! My mountain god king has dominated the plateau and mountains since ancient times, and the area around Qinghai Lake is the ancestral land of the Qiang people. Although it is now occupied by the grassland hybrid, it still belongs to the rule of the God King! ”

The translator didn't have much skill, so he said bluntly: "Commander Siwan, so-and-so also conveys the meaning of the empire!" Commander Li said: If the Qiang tribe is not willing to coexist peacefully and return to Yanhuang, then they can only speak with iron and blood. ”

Iron and blood! Answer: Siwan is angry and afraid! He has already learned the iron and blood of the Han army, and he is really not sure to hold Xining City!

Seeing the silent words of Asi Wan, the translator said: "The commander of Lao is tired of conveying the will of the Yanhuang and Han clans: the empire tolerates the Yanhuang tribes, and the rule of the plateau tribes will not change for twenty years, and after twenty years, the Han and Qiang will gradually integrate." Everywhere the empire went: there was nothing but submission and artillery fire, and there was no room for it. ”

The translator stood up and saluted: "Boss, a certain family will also say goodbye first!" ”

His life was in danger at any moment, and he really didn't want to stay longer. In order to make meritorious contributions in front of the empire, he gave his life to send an envoy.

A Siwan nodded: "I won't send it far!" How is everything, General Ben can only wait for the order of the God King! ”

After the translator left, he wrote a letter and sent it back to the Buddha Palace.

The plateau is closest to the sky, and the plateau people can already reach out to the horizon. The plateau people even regard themselves as the descendants of the gods, and they are all the bloodlines left by the gods.

Inside, Wu Sizang calls itself the Plateau God Kingdom. After the Ming Dynasty defeated the main force of the grassland, the contemporary reincarnated god king had already surrendered, and even set up the Wusizang Xuanwei Division. However, it was only a nominal rule, and after the Liaodong Jurchens defeated the main force of the Ming Dynasty, the coalition forces of the various departments on the plateau also immediately broke through the Xuanwei Division and broke away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

……

After Genghis Khan unified the Mongolian steppe, the Mongols grew in power. Before and after the Ming Dynasty, the Yarkand Khanates of Turpan and Ili in Qinghai were all under the command of the Mongol Great Khan, and even Siberia in Central Asia was a branch of the Mongol Empire.

The Tumut Department has now declined, and it is no longer a strong domain that once shocked the various departments, and the Tumut Department even besieged Beiping of the Ming Dynasty when it was strong.

Heshuo Altan Khan is the new Great Khan of the contemporary Tumut tribe, the Mongols are powerful, but their power changes are also frequent. Maybe in a few days, the Tumut department will become such and such a ministry again. It doesn't take thirty years to Hedong, and sometimes the new king will defeat the old king in three or so years.

The Tumut Department that invaded the northwest of the Ming Dynasty was also rumored to be, but the final price was that the powerful Tumut Department could now only shrink into Qinghai Lake and Qaidam Basin. The Tumut tribe of more than 600,000 tribesmen now has only about 200,000 left, and the cavalry can barely make up 100,000.

The Great Camp of Tumut Khan.

As soon as Trudong Qianhu entered the big tent, he said: "Altan Khan, more than 100,000 Han troops have arrived in Xiningwei!" Do we still have to support Yarkand Khan? ”

Heshuo Altan Khan immediately frowned, after being educated by the Ming army, they did not dare to send troops south again so far! Even if Da Ming is finished.

"Forget them! The Yarkand tribe is also self-defeating! "Yarkand not only annexed the Turpan tribe, but also established their own khanate, which made the entire Mongolian steppe not want to see them.

However, the 50,000 elite soldiers they gathered are now just defending against the Han army.

"Altan Khan, can this plateau man hold Xiningwei? If we can't, where do we go? "Tru Senhu really doesn't believe in the fighting power of the plateau people.

Heshuo Khan also shook his head with a light smile: "Now the plateau people are dedicated to worshipping the gods and Buddhas, and they are no longer the Xiqiang Heavenly Soldiers who once shocked the world. I'm afraid that in the end, I will surrender to the Han people again! ”

After Tibet was destroyed by the Mongols and most of the young men and warriors were killed, the plateau state had already begun to decline. The sparsely populated plateau country was unable to expand any further.

Altan Khan was still reminiscing about the strength of the Mongol Empire, but the generals were not so optimistic!

"Altan Khan! Half of the main force of Yarkand is gone! Jungar will not support them either! I'm afraid that this battle in Turpan will all belong to the Han army! Coupled with the Xining Han Army, where should our department go? "Lao Qianhu has a bitter face! Can't they escape the revenge of the Han people after all!

At the thought of being surrounded by the Han army, Altan Khan lost his smile. "Is this Han army really that strong? Korqin Chahar and the other four major departments were all defeated! ”

Tru Qianhu sighed and nodded: "The Eastern Army of King Dongxian has always been a strong army of Yarkand against Dzungar, but the army of more than 100,000 was also defeated in a battle!" ”

See so many people! Altan Khan also spoke: "Let's wait for the decisive battle between the Qiang and the Han army!" However, our ministry will not be easily involved. ”

"Honorable Order!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief! Their 100,000 cavalry can no longer be broken! The rumors about the strength of the Han army are false or false, and they will not use the fate of the tribe to test it.

The Tumut Division, which was pressed in the middle by the Yarkand Khanate, the Ming Dynasty and the Plateau State, has long lost the ambitions of the past.

……

Xining City, morning time~

After the defeat of the city gate, the Qiang people who fled west were even more confused.

"Everyone, I'm afraid Xining City won't be able to stop the Han army!"

"Yes, you can only wait for the army of the god king to defeat the Han army!"

The 30,000 main forces in Xining have already gone to 20,000! Although there were still 50,000 soldiers and horses, 40,000 of them were herdsmen who had fled west.

Seeing that the heads of the clans were complicated, Da Siwan hurriedly spoke: "You can wait for the army of the god king with peace of mind!" It only takes about ten days for the army to arrive, and our army will hold the city pass, and the Han army can only withdraw due to lack of food. ”

"But Dashuai, are you really sure to hold on for ten days?"

Asiwan nodded confidently: "There are 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and there is no shortage of food, grass and materials, while the Han army only has 80,000 infantry to attack the city." Our army only held the city pass, not to mention ten days, twenty days is no problem. When the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Kingdom of God arrive, they can even wipe out the tired Han army. ”

Seeing that the big man was so sure, everyone was also relieved.

"Good! Then we will definitely go all out to defend the city pass. ”

"Yes, I'm the Song Clan, I swear not to retreat!" The patriarch of the Song Clan had a firm face and the courage to swear to the death.

Everyone is united, and now Siwan is also relieved. In case these guys slip away with someone, then Xining is finished! If the 20,000 elite horsemen are still there, he can still bounce the various departments. But now that there are only 10,000 infantry left, he can't help these cunning guys.

Just when the Qiang generals were leading the clan leaders and encouraging each other, the Han army's field run was also prepared.

This time, no one dared to speak of a battle out of the city, and no one dared to despise the Han army.
