Liu Xia sat on the recliner of Nuanxiang Pavilion, holding the four-year-old Liu Xing, his eldest son, in both hands. Liu Xia's eyes were full of love. Unconsciously, Liu Xing was already four years old, and in the past four years, Liu Xia knew that he had not fulfilled his obligations as a father. Basically, it's rare to be with these kids. Liu Xia had nothing to do today, so he played with the children.

Liu Xia currently has four children, of which Liu Xing is already four years old and was born in 16|46. He was born to Bian Yujing. Liu An and Liu Ying, two siblings, were born to Kou Baimen, and they were the same age as Liu Xing, but they were born a few months later, and the two of them were twins. The fourth child is called Liu Wen, who was born in 16}47, and his mother is Liu Rushi.

In addition to these children who have been born, Bian Min is already with a big belly at the moment, and it is estimated that one or more new lives will be born in the near future. There is also Da Yu'er in Fengqi Pavilion, who has already had a vomiting reaction in the past few days, and the eldest aunt has also been in the future for a long time, and it is obvious that she is also pregnant. This made Da Yu'er very painful, but she had to accept the reality. Now she is not so clear about the situation in Beijing, she only knows that Liu Xia is about to break through the city of Beijing, and the Manchurians in Beijing are about to be wiped out. But this is just the gossip she got, and this gossip was also released by Liu Xia.

In addition to these women, there are also two women that Meng Yu bought back from Qinhuai River in Nanjing, Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan, who have already entered Liu Xia's harem, but their stomachs have not yet responded.

Liu Xia looked at Liu Xing with a smile and said with a smile: "What have you learned from your husband?" Although he was only four years old, the age at which he should have gone to kindergarten, as Liu Xia's successor, Liu Xing had to start studying now.

I only heard his immature voice sound, and said: "Father, Xing'er has learned to read the Three Character Sutra. As he spoke, he was going to carry Liu Xia on his back. Bian Yujing next to him had a happy smile on his face.

That night, Liu Xia called all his women and children to Nuanxiang Pavilion and had a reunion dinner.

The next day, Liu Xia received news from Sichuan that Zeng Ying, who was entrenched in Chongqing Mansion, had surrendered, and Chongqing Mansion was officially taken over by the Pingbei Army. Sichuan is basically completely pacified, but in some areas of southwestern Sichuan, there are still some barbaric ethnic and peaceful northern army confrontations, of course, these are difficult to stop the Pingbei army's control of Sichuan.

Then the officials selected from Henan, Shaanxi, and Luoyang colleges received transfer orders and began to rush to Sichuan to take up their posts. Sichuan has been pacified, and there is no danger anymore.

In Gansu, the Iron Fist Brigade entered Hamiwei, and at this moment Hami has been occupied by the Tatars, and the people of the Western Regions everywhere have also submitted to the Tatars, and the Western Regions, which has been operated by the Central Plains Dynasty since the Han Dynasty, no longer exists at this moment.

In the vast Western Regions, there is a new empire at this moment, the Yarkand Khanate.

Historically, the Yarkand Khanate (1514-1680) was a state founded by Sultan Said in 1514 on the old land of the former Chagatai Khanate, which lasted for 166 years until the destruction of Dzungar in 1680. The capital of the Khanate was in what is now Shache. The territory includes the Turpan, Hami and Tarim basins. The territory of the Khanate is bordered by Jiayuguan in the east, Tibet in the south, Kashmir in the southwest, the Mughal Empire in the west, Uzbekistan in the Ferghana Valley, and the Tien Shan Mountains in the north.

The task of the Iron Fist Brigade was to destroy the disobedient Yarkand Khanate and restore Liu Xia's control over the Western Regions. As for Wu Sizang in the southwest, due to the terrain and climate, Liu Xia did not dare to rashly send soldiers to fight now. After all, people in the plains are not easy to adapt to the plateau. Prone to altitude sickness.

After Niu Chao served as the commander of the Iron Fist Brigade, he has been giving orders to attack the Yarkand Khanate. The current Great Khan of the Yarkand Khanate, Abdullah, not only has to keep an eye on the internal contradictions, but also has to defend against the threat of the Dzungar Khanate in the north at all times. The Dzungar Khanate was always thinking about attacking the Yarkand Khanate.

When Abdullaha heard that Liu Xia's army was attacking him, he was stunned. As far as he knew, the Central Plains was currently in turmoil, and it was impossible to have time to take care of the affairs of the Western Regions. But Liu Xia did send the Iron Lion Legion to recover the Western Regions.

When he was still hesitating whether to show weakness to Liu Xia first, another bad news hit him. That's when the northern Zungar Khanate began to attack it militarily. The Yarkand Khanate was basically in chaos at the moment.

"Great Khan, it's better to surrender to King Zheng. If we are willing to be vassal states, then King Zheng will definitely not attack us again, and maybe he will send troops and horses to help us deal with the threat of the Dzungar Khanate. Yulbars, the prime minister of the Yarkand Khanate, said to Abdullah.

Abdullaha sat on the golden chair and hesitated: "If we submit to King Zheng, will he help us deal with the Dzungar Khanate?" He looked at Prime Minister Yulebars with some confusion.

Only to hear Yulebars say confidently: "Definitely, after all, we are his vassals." Naturally, he would not look at the difficulties of his subject country. The Great Khan may not know the Three Signs of Wanli. During the Wanli period, Korea was invaded by Japan. The Wanli Emperor sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to help Korea push back Japan. Korea was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, so when Korea was invaded by other countries, the Ming Dynasty would send troops. Therefore, if we submit to King Zheng, he will certainly help us fight the bandits of the Dzungar Khanate. As long as the robbers of the Dzungar Khanate are destroyed, it will not be too late for us to break away from the control of the Ming Dynasty. After all, we are so far away from their Central Plains, even if he wants to conquer us, we can make them run out of ammunition and food and automatically retreat. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it. Don't know who to send? Abdullaha Khan looked at the middle-aged man who was giving advice to him.

I only heard the prime minister Yulebars, whose temples had gradually turned gray, say: "But let Abudu. General Harlem went. ”

"Abudu. Harlem? He had fought against the Ming army before, wouldn't he anger the Ming army if he went? Abdullaha Khan said with a little confusion. At this moment, Abdullaha was a little scared, he didn't want to have a stalemate with the Ming Dynasty at this time, so he had to be careful.

Since Liu Xia was ostensibly loyal to the Ming Dynasty, Liu Xia now represented the Ming Dynasty's army. That's why Abdullaha Khan said to fight the Ming Dynasty.

They are also not too clear about the chaotic situation in the Central Plains. Anyway, he knew that the Central Plains was particularly chaotic now, and he once again returned to the chaotic scene at the end of the dynasty.

I thought I could take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, but I didn't expect it. Liu Xia is still so concerned about the northwest. This made Abdullaha suffer a big loss, and now he not only has to face Liu Xia's attack, but also needs to be on guard against the Dzungar Khanate at all times.

"Jean Abudu. General Harlem went to plead guilty, so it would be more effective. In fact, according to the custom of the Han people, as long as you surrender, it is easy to go no matter who goes. The man said self-righteously, as if he knew the Han people well.

I only heard that Abdullaha Khan nodded and said: "In this case, let Abdul . General Harlem went to plead guilty. ”

"Someone, send a message to Abdu. Haring told him to go to the Ming Army's Iron Fist Brigade. Be sure to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty army. ”

The order soon reached Abdu. Haring's hands, he was furious. This is a fateful game, if the Ming Dynasty soldiers and horses on the opposite side ignore them and submit to them, then he will want his head to fall to the ground.

Niu Chao of the Iron Fist Brigade had never heard Liu Xia say that he would accept the surrender of the Yarkand Khanate, and Liu Xia generally eliminated this kind of wall grass directly. Or imprison it altogether.

There can be no doubt that the Western Regions must be in his hands. Neither the Yarkand Khanate nor the Dzungar Khanate could control the Western Regions. It can be said that this is the necessary place of the Silk Road, although the Silk Road has now been transferred to the sea, but the old Silk Road is equally important.

When Abdu. When Haring cautiously walked into the camp where the Iron Fist Brigade army was stationed with a few guards, his heart was tense as if he was about to jump out.

"Forget it, let's go inside. Now my wife and children are all in the city of Yarkand, and if I don't go, I'm afraid my wife and children won't be able to live. ”
