The Western Regions first referred to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and since the Han Dynasty, it has become a general term for the areas west of Yumen Pass and Yangguan.

During the Han and Tang dynasties, the Western Regions were firmly in the hands of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, such as the Han Dynasty established the Western Regions Protectorate to manage the Western Regions, and the Tang Dynasty also established the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate to rule the Western Regions.

The Ming Dynasty, as a superpower second only to the Han and Tang Dynasties, was very embarrassed, and it seemed that the history of the Ming Dynasty had never really controlled the Western Regions, at most, people came to pay tribute, nominally belonging to the Ming Dynasty, but in fact they never really accepted the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

What is going on, it stands to reason that the technology and military of the Ming Dynasty should be far superior to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, with more than two million troops, as well as muskets and artillery, which are beyond the reach of the Han and Tang Dynasties, why did the Ming Dynasty never touch the Western Regions?

This is mainly because the military center of gravity of the Ming Dynasty is in the south and north of the desert rather than the Western Regions, in fact, the main threat of the Central Plains Dynasty is still from the nomadic tribes in the north, such as the Han Dynasty is to solve the Xiongnu to rule the Western Regions, and the Tang Dynasty also destroyed the Western Turks to control the Western Regions, and the history of the Ming Dynasty has not really destroyed the Mengyuan forces entrenched in the south and north of the desert, and the threat from the north can not be lifted, how can they have the heart to manage the Western Regions.

Now it's different, under the leadership of Zhu Cijiong, the Ming army defeated the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces in the Monan grassland, not only solved the old enemy Manchu Qing, but also controlled all the Mongol and Yuan Tatar tribes entrenched in Monan, and the entire Monan also became a province of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no threat to the north of the Ming Dynasty, which made it possible to rule the Western Regions.

Of course, if according to Zhu Cijiong's plan, it should be at sea and then on land, first robbing enough colonies, and then slowly cleaning up the Mengyuan forces in the Western Regions.

However, the powers of the anti-Habsburg alliance did not allow the Ming Dynasty to develop well, first allowing Tsarist Russia to provoke a war in Siberia, the far north, and then allowing the Persian Safavid Empire to provoke Kandahar in the far west, and Tsarist Russia even instigated the Watts and the Kazakh Khanate to launch a direct attack on the Shaanxi Xingdusi.

In this case, Zhu Cijiong, who was forced to do so, had to shift his focus to the land, because none of these forces were good at stubble, if the Ming Dynasty didn't teach them a good lesson, they would definitely gain an inch, and the border of the Ming Dynasty would never be peaceful.

Now, the Safavid Empire of Persia has succumbed, and the war against Tsarist Russia has also temporarily come to a standstill due to the ice of Siberia and the lack of strength of the Ming army.

The biggest problem in dealing with the nomadic tribes in the Central Plains dynasties is the transfer of grain and grass, because the northern territory is too vast, and it is thousands of miles or even thousands of miles at every turn, and the transportation of grain and grass for hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops is already very troublesome.

Therefore, every time the Central Plains Dynasty fought against the northern nomadic tribes, it basically couldn't do its best, and it ran away while fighting people, what Huns fled far away, and the Turks fled far away, these are common terms in the history books, it seems that they have won the war, but in fact they have run away, and you can't do anything about him.

If you continue to chase, the supply of grain and grass will not be available, even if you are stationed in the northern grasslands or deserts, and the cost of grain and grass transportation can not be borne by any dynasty.

This has caused a strange phenomenon that the nomadic tribes in the north can never be wiped out, and all dynasties, no matter how powerful the Central Plains Dynasty is, have never completely exterminated the northern nomadic tribes.

Of course, with railways and trains, the transfer of grain and grass is not a problem, as long as there is no problem with the transfer of grain and grass, it is not a problem for the Central Plains Dynasty to clean up the northern nomadic tribes.

The Mongol-Yuan Tatar Department in Monan is a good example, as long as the railway is repaired, it will be their end.

Sun Chuanting naturally knew this, so he did not rush to attack, but urged the army of the vassal state to build the railway, and at the same time asked the Jinyi Wei secret agents to try their best to find out the news of the various departments.

The railway to the Western Regions was along the Tianshan Mountains, which could not only ensure the water needed for the daily life of the army, but also mine the stones needed to build the railway, and at the same time, the Ming army could also build fortresses according to the terrain.

The progress of the Western Regions Railway is quite fast, and in less than half a month, it has been extended for more than 700 miles, that is to say, Sun Chuanting has led the "million army" deep into the territory of Waspur, and it is only more than 300 miles away from the Khanting of Wasang.

At this point, Sun Chuanting felt that it was time to attack, and he had already locked the locations of the four largest tribes of the Tile Spur according to the Jinyi Guard's report, and sent cavalry from the latest transit station, which would only take one day at most.

He summoned Qin Yiming, Ma Xianglin, Zu Dabi and Hou Gongji to the Shuai Tent, pointed to the markers on the map and ordered: "Yiming, you lead the 50,000 cavalry of your headquarters to smash the Tile Thorn and Shuote Division." “

When Qin Yiming heard this, his spirit was shocked, and the Heshuo Special Department was where the Khan Court of the Tile Thorn was located, and he saluted excitedly: "The last general will obey the order." “

Sun Chuanting then ordered: "Rui Zheng, you lead the 50,000 cavalry of your headquarters to smash the Waspur Ghar." “

When Ma Xianglin heard this, he hurriedly saluted and said, "The last general will obey the order." “

Sun Chuanting then ordered: "Da Bi, you lead the 10,000 cavalry of the headquarters and the 20,000 cavalry of the Qin army to directly attack the Dolbert department. “

When Zu Dabi heard this, he hurriedly saluted and said, "The last general will obey the order." “

Sun Chuanting then ordered: "Gongji, you lead the 10,000 cavalry of the headquarters and the 20,000 cavalry of the Qin army to smash the tile spur turgot. “

When Hou Gongji heard this, he hurriedly saluted and said, "The last general will obey the order." “

Sun Chuanting nodded, and finally said: "I will send 40,000 infantry behind you to transport grain and grass, receive prisoners, you all bring ten days' dry food, if the enemy escapes, chase all the way, we must chase them to the sky and the earth, this time, we will completely annihilate all the troops of the tile spurs, and completely incorporate them under the rule of the Ming Dynasty." “

When the four generals heard this, they responded in unison: "The last general understands." “

Soon, the large camps of the Ming army were in action, giving orders, and the sound of horses' hooves was busy and orderly.

After Qin Yiming, Ma Xianglin and others prepared dry food, they led the cavalry under the leadership of the Jinyi Wei guide to attack the four major tribes of the Tile Spur, and four more long dragons immediately appeared on the wasteland, and the sound of horses' hooves was earth-shattering.

Of course, Gushi Khan knew that the Ming army was coming, and he was ready to run away, as for resistance, don't be kidding, according to the scouts, the Ming army used at least a million troops this time, and the camp tent stretched for hundreds of miles, and there was no end in sight!

To defeat the remnants of the army with the tile spur, to resist the millions of enemy troops, it is simply looking for death, and now the only way to run, if you can't win, you can run.

According to past experience, as long as they run away, the Ming army will retreat after following around for a few circles, because there is no way to collect grain and grass in the wasteland, and if they don't retreat, they will all starve to death!

Gushi Khan thought that this time was the same, as long as he took the Ming army around the wasteland a few times and stayed up for a month, the Ming army would definitely have no choice but to retreat, but he didn't know that after having the railway, the Ming army would not have to worry about the problem of food and grass at all, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape this time.
