Of course, Hong Chengchou will not disappoint Yuan Chonghuan, this guy is a Jinshi born in the martial arts, naturally resourceful, he saw that he did not break the city gate for half an hour, he walked around the city, and finally found a flaw between the east gate and the north gate, he found that the earthen cannon of Yarkand City was relatively hidden, and the mortar could not blow up the city gate, nor could it blow up the city wall, but the earth cannon could not move. So he ordered two thousand cavalry to go around here, use firing pistols to clear the enemy soldiers on the city wall, and not a single enemy soldier could stand on the city wall within a range of fifty zhang, and then ordered the infantry cavalry to rush to the city wall and dig a small hole, although it was all stones, but it could not help the crowd, and finally dug a hole under the city, and then ordered the demoman to put all * into it, take out the lead, and wait until it reached a safe distance and ignited it.

Because Hong Chengchou is using the mentality of this fight*, he doesn't know how powerful it is, so he saw that after the earth-shattering explosion, a ten-zhang wide pit appeared on the city wall, and the masonry didn't know how far it flew, and then two thousand cavalry quickly rushed into the city, protecting the gap, filling the road, and making way for the follow-up cavalry. Not to mention that Hong Chengchou really did the right thing this time, most of the soldiers in Yarkand City were defending on the city wall, and when they saw that the city was broken, they rushed down to the city one after another, and the cavalry infantry was simply slaughtered. Opening the east gate, Li Hongji's cavalry quickly followed the street to occupy the other three city gates, and Yarkand City did not even have a chance to open the city gate and escape.

After Hao Yongzhong entered the city, he led the cavalry around the root of the city wall and circled again and again, until he could no longer see a living person, and then led the troops to rush to the Khan's mansion, the guards here had already protected Abdureim and fled, Hao Yongzhong asked the soldiers to take care of the messy people here, originally wanted to make a head, but the result was very depressed, and what was even more depressing was that Li Hongji took Abdureyim to see Hong Chengchou without much effort.

Looking at Abdureim, who was detained, Hong Chengchou asked, "Li Hongji, who is this person?" ”

In fact, he could completely recognize who this person was from his clothes, and Li Hongji replied very smartly: "I don't know, I don't surrender all the time, just kill it!" ”

In this way, neither of the two was willing to make meritorious contributions, so they quietly killed this guy, at this time Hao Yongzhong also came to salute, Hong Chengchou remembered the matter of Khotan City, looked at the two, and gritted his teeth: "Slaughter the city!" ”

"What, there are still people who resist, and anyone who resists will be killed." Both of them understand that they are murderous people.

Bloody twilight, wailing everywhere. Hao Yongzhong and Li Hongji returned to the city and told the soldiers that they could be killed, and the implication was self-evident, after two hours, all but the young woman disappeared, and then the corpses were cleaned up, and the work was not completed until midnight, and then they went to rest.

The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Hong Chengchou reorganized his men and horses, leaving Liu Zongmin to take 3,000 to defend the city, and the rest went to meet with Yuan Chonghuan. However, it is said that Yuan Chonghuan led the infantry cavalry to rely on simple fortifications and superior muskets, hand-cranked machine guns, and mortars, and killed and injured a large number of attacking Yarkand Khan soldiers, although there were leaders in the rear to press the formation, these soldiers who had been washed their heads were also not afraid of death, but this did not mean that they did not die, and there were nearly 20,000 people in one day's attack. The next morning, when they got up and had not yet eaten breakfast, these fierce soldiers who were not afraid of death began the first wave of attacks, and Yuan Chonghuan commanded the Ming army to respond calmly. At the height of the battle, Hong Chengchou's troops came up from behind the soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate, and the soldiers on this side quickly dispersed. Yuan Chonghuan took the opportunity to hand over the 5,000 cavalry to Hong Chengchou, and Hong Chengchou was not polite, with Hao Yongzhong and Li Hongji each leading a team of men and horses, moving in the opposite direction of the two on both sides, there was a momentum of sweeping thousands of armies like a sweep, and in less than two quarters of an hour, the soldiers of the Yarkand Khanate were completely defeated, and there were scattered out-of-control stragglers everywhere.

These scattered soldiers are not all cavalry, there is only a dead end to run into the desert, but there is only where to run, the Ming army is in the back of the desperate pursuit, has been driven to the depths of the desert, life and death to go, let the rear collection troops go directly to Yarkand City, a little rest, fill the stomach, leaving 10,000 Yuan Chonghuan to defend the city by himself, by the way to clean up the remnants of the enemy, the rest of the Hong Chengchou led to kill Kashgar. The soldiers of Kashgar City have been emptied, and in the face of the fierce Hong Chengchou, it is like a stripped girl, without any resistance at all, no matter how tall the city wall is, it will fail without soldiers. Most of the people living in Kashgar are craftsmen and wealthy merchants, Hong Chengchou is not polite at all, he still slaughters the city, except for the Han and Qiang people inside, all the other ethnic groups except for the young women left, and the others are all killed. The Qiang people are also a branch of the Han people, with the same blood as the Han people, and are the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Hong Chengchou's policy of slaughtering cities frightened the soldiers and civilians of the Yarkand Khanate, and the strong fighting force was daunting, and the people of the Yarkand Khanate, who had lost several important cities one after another, completely became afraid of Hong Chengchou, and the residents of the nearby towns and cities fled one after another. When Yuan Chonghuan asked Hong Chengchou to send troops to conquer Aksu City, there was only an empty city left in Aksu, and all the people in it, regardless of men, women, and children, had already abandoned the city and fled, including those who had been driven into the desert and escaped with their lives. The direction of their escape is the depths of the Tianshan Mountains, and whether they can get out is not something for others to consider.

After Yuan Chonghuan's campaign in the Western Regions, especially Hong Chengchou's brutal killing and poking, the *** religious forces in southern Xinjiang were basically eradicated, and the rest were the Han people, the Qiang people, and the original inhabitants who Zhu Youxiao recognized were thrown far away when Nuwa created people, such as the Tuguhun people. All in all, Zhu Youxiao's nationalist concept is very strong, and these people are all the descendants of Yan and Huang that he recognizes.

The great battle is over, and all that remains is to encircle and suppress the remnants of the fish that have slipped through the net, and now it is the late autumn season, and winter is about to begin, and the use of guns is restricted in the cold season. Zhu Youxiao ordered the temporary suspension of new campaigns and began to consolidate the new ruling territory, which was nothing more than cultural education, continued immigration to this area, etc. Now the population base of more than 100 million people in the Ming Dynasty is still very large, not to mention that people's minds are now very enlightened, and the concept of "trees are dead, people are alive" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, not to mention that the conditions are very favorable, who wants to suffer in the hometown of one acre and three points of land? Another advantage is that the immigration policy has completely disrupted the inherent local clan power in the countryside, and laid a good foundation for further democratic and liberal thinking. Another advantage is that people from different regions marry each other, which promotes the mutation of the human race and makes the offspring smarter and stronger.

Yuan Chonghuan and Lu Xiangsheng each used different methods in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains to achieve the same results, not only recovering the original territory of the Ming Dynasty, but also opening up new territories. However, Yuan Chonghuan's area was overkill, and the population was reduced a lot, so Zhu Youxiao could only immigrate from Shaanxi to fill these areas. According to Zhu Youxiao's meaning, Lu Xiangsheng mainly subdued the Mongols, the reason was to deal with the Russians in the future. The climate in the north is too cold, and the people in the Central Plains can't bear it at all, not to mention that in the history that Zhu Youxiao knows, only the Mongols have burned Moscow in the attack on Russia, and the others, whether it is Napoleon or Hitler, have failed, and the reason for their failure is not that their military strength is not enough, but that they are not able to adapt to the climate. The four Oirats were all born in the upper reaches of the Yenisei River and should be no worse than the Russians in adapting to the cold. There is also Lin Dan Khan, who was driven to Mobei, this guy who forgot about his hunger after two days of full food, Zhu Youxiao hasn't had time to clean him up, in the future or wait for next year, let Sun Chuanting clean up this guy, so as not to have trouble in the future, originally wanted to let him deal with the Russians, it seems that there is little hope, forget about the buffer zone, just seal them west of the Ural Mountains, lest he cross Eurasia again.
