Bukhara, Arca Forbidden City.

The strongest fortress of the Western Qing Khanate was now silent, except for the sound of crescent moon flags fluttering above the city walls.

From the head of the Western Qing Khanate, Yi Su, the queen of the country, below the Yehenala clan, the remaining ministers, commanders, co-leaders, staff leaders and other leaders of this wandering country all gathered on the light field outside the south gate of the forbidden city, and hundreds of people stood solemnly and bowed to wait. In the city of Bukhara, the low-cost officers who were not qualified to come out to greet the Great Envoy Zeng Guofan, and the soldiers were all armed with guns and guarded all parts of the city. I don't know if it's because I'm about to be a glorious first-class man, today, these Western Qing soldiers who have been trembling in the siege for several months, all of them are high-spirited, and the army is neat, it is a mighty army, where is there still a wolf who has been besieged for a few months?

The common people and merchants in Bukhara also crowded to both sides of the street, crowding one by one to look at the sun and moon and the same bright flag marching in the city, as well as the tiger ben of the Ming Guards cavalry who rode tall horses, wore cuirasers, and held snow-bright sabers under the banner!

Horses are abundant here in the Western Regions, and the people in Bukhara City also have some experience in raising horses and riding horses, and they have not monitored the cavalry, which are all feudal cavalry around Bukhara City, and they are also brightly dressed when they come out, but compared with the cavalry in front of them, it is really too far behind. Bukhara's cavalry couldn't get out of this neat formation like a knife and an axe, let alone such a breathless murderous aura! Some citizens of Bukhara, who had seen the Russian Cossack cavalry, could not help but compare the iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty with the Russian cavalry, and finally they all thought of it. This Ming army's iron cavalry is far superior to the Russian army. Probably only Genghis Khan's Mongol warriors can compare with it, right?

Daming has an elite so. No wonder he can break the Russian army and become the master of the Western Regions!

Besieged by the Taiping army for 6 months, the mood of the people in Bukhara can only be described as the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, and they have long lost the slightest arrogance - if there are not these hundreds of horsemen in front of him and a holy decree of the Ming Emperor, how many days can Bukhara survive?

An army of 100,000 besieged the city for six months, just when the city of Bukhara was about to run out of food. Unexpectedly, because of the will of the Ming Emperor, let the big guy pick up a life. At this point, who else doesn't know that the master of the Western Regions is the Ming Dynasty? Who else dares to doubt the strength of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty? In this Western Regions, which has always been the size of a fist, the Ming Empire has demonstrated enough power, and now one of the holy decrees is En, the life-saving grace of the people of Bukhara and Samarkand.

In fact, Zhu Jishi's holy decree had already been sent to the river by a fast horse, but Zeng Guofan had been delaying and had been calculating the grain reserves of Bukhara and Samarkand, just to get stuck when his life was hanging by a thread!

Led by a group of Western Qing officials, Zeng Guofan swaggered to the square in front of the Arka Forbidden City with hundreds of façade-filled guards. The monarchs and ministers of the Western Qing Dynasty, who had been waiting in line for a long time, hurriedly flew over and rushed over. Far away, he knelt down and stretched out his voice to sign up for peace. Even the largest pair of males and females in the Western Qing Khanate were no exception, and Yi Su had already restored the dress of the banner people. However, the braids were still cut off, and he shaved his head and wore a hat. He was not wearing the emperor's clothes, but the clothes of the Manchu princes. Now he doesn't dare to call himself emperor. Of course, the Nala clan didn't dare to wear the queen's clothes, and they were also dressed by Fujin. Together with Yi Su, he knelt respectfully in front of Zeng Guofan, and took the lead in shouting: "Welcome to Lord Zeng!" ”

Zeng Guofan laughed, dismounted with neat legs, and helped up Yi Su and Nala, who were kneeling on the ground: "Let's both get up and talk!" ”

As he spoke, he carefully looked at the two of them, he was an old acquaintance, and although he had been frightened in the siege for months, he was still radiant now. As for Yisu, Zeng Guofan had a few glances from afar when he was an official in Beijing in his early years. At that time, he was the fourth elder brother of the Qing Dynasty! It was the existence of the Zeng Guofan that had to look up, and now ...... His face was gray, his eyes were dull, and his robe was empty as if it was one size bigger. The whole spirit has collapsed, and it seems that there are not many days left to live. This Xiqing family is going to be a woman.

The cavalry behind Zeng Guofan all dismounted and stood solemnly. The eyes of the generals of the Western Qing Dynasty turned around on them, except for envy and fear, and there was absolutely nothing to be unconvinced! The Daming Grassland Army defeated 100,000 Russian soldiers in one battle, and they still dare to disobey? If you are not convinced, you don't need to compete with the generals of the Ming Dynasty, the 100,000 troops led by Li Xiucheng outside the city are enough to destroy the creatures of Bukhara!

Zeng Guofan could see clearly in this look, and this was what he wanted! He was detained by Yixin once, and he knew what it meant to be "afraid of power but not virtuous". Without this round of attacks by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, even if these Yidi of the Western Qing Dynasty voted for Han, they would definitely be half-hearted.

Here in the Western Regions, there will be a battle of life and death in 20 years, if you can't completely tame these Yidi, it is better to kill them all!

The moment this thought swirled in Zeng Guofan's mind, he heard Nala say softly: "Lord Zeng, we have finally come to look forward to you, if you come a little later, this city of Bukhara will be starving all over the place." ”

Zeng Guofan smiled faintly and let go of the hand holding Yi Su and Nala's family: "The Western Regions are thousands of miles away from Nanjing, and it will take some time for the emperor's edict to be delivered, right?" Fortunately, it came in time, this Bukhara and Samarkand are still intact, and tens of thousands of Han family sons and daughters are also intact, right? ”

The words made the hundreds of Western Qing generals present full of joy, listening to Zeng Guofan's meaning, the great tomorrow has already allowed the big guy to join the Han! This is really a great grace - with this grace, they can establish their rule in Bukhara and Samarkand by the power of the Ming Dynasty, without such a backstage, who can subdue their tens of thousands of exiled armies who have lost their homeland?

"The emperor has already allowed me to wait for the children of the Eight Banners to return to Han Touming?" Yixu's lips squirmed, as if he had just come back to his soul, "The emperor really forgave me for the sin of ravaging China for 200 years?" ”

"The emperor said that although Er Baqi has the sin of ravaging China, but today it is nine times out of ten, and any sins have been atoned for. My Great Tomorrow Dynasty has always been to convince people with virtue, but now that you have lost your way and asked to return to the Han Dynasty, how can my Great Tomorrow Dynasty refuse people thousands of miles away? ”

Zeng Guofan spoke, took the holy purpose from the hand of Liu Zongxian, the entourage next to him, waved it in front of Yi Su and Nala, and said with a smile: "This is the holy decree that allows you to return to Han Touming, the Son of Heaven also gave you the surname Han and the official title, the lord of the country gave the surname Jin, and the king of the Western Qing Dynasty, which is considered the king of my Daming County." The queen of the country gave the surname Ye and was crowned the princess of the Western Qing Dynasty. In addition, the emperor also gave the surname He, the surname Pu, the surname Yan, the surname Ha, the surname Na, the surname Fu, plus the two surnames of Jin and Ye, a total of eight surnames, as the surnames of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. ”

"In addition, the emperor also said that the Western Regions are the world of the True God Sect. After your Eight Banners disciples return to Han Touming, this True God Sect can still be trusted. There is no problem with this, I am practicing religious freedom. But it is okay to believe in the true God, but not to be faithful to the Caliph. Although the Western Qing Dynasty is not my Ming Dynasty, this article must be followed. In addition, the Han people of the Western Qing Dynasty must also learn the Confucian classics of our Han family, but they cannot read the scriptures of their True God Religion as true scriptures! ”

Of course, I'm not passing on the decree now, I'm just talking to Yisu and Nala, oh, they should be called Jin Yisu and Ye Lan'er now. The two of them accompanied Zeng Guofan and walked to the Arka Forbidden City, where the incense case had already been placed, and they could immediately kneel to receive the holy decree. However, there are some words, but Zhu Jishi asked Zeng Guofan to make it clear to Jin Yisu and Ye Laner before passing the decree, and if he can agree, he will pass the decree.

No promise...... It is impossible not to agree, the current Ming is in full swing, and others can't take refuge if they want to! These people in the Western Qing Dynasty are really lucky, and from now on, they can spread out in Bukhara and Samarkand with peace of mind. Maybe in many years, there will be a Han kingdom here in the Western Regions that both believe in true gods and worship Confucius...... (To be continued......)
