Chapter 733: Grim Situation

"Zhenwu Hou, you have to figure it out, the Daimyo Mansion has my 80,000 troops in Kansai, and if there is a battle, it is not yet known who will kill the deer."

In the impression of Timur, in order to ensure the safety of the border, the Ming Dynasty has always adopted the strategy of "peace is precious" to those frontier guards, even if those guards have committed something, the court will eventually forgive, he never thought that Li Yuntian would be different, and unexpectedly showed a tough attitude, so his face became a little ugly, and he said to Li Yuntian in a deep voice, "Besides, if we both fight and lose, who will guard the Ming frontier at that time?" ”

"You will be defeated, and your cavalry will not be able to fight back against the guns of the officers."

Seeing that Timur had pinned his hopes on Daming, seeing that the seven guards of Guanxi were going to guard the Western Regions for Daming, the incident would be a big and small matter, and the corners of his mouth suddenly sneered, and he looked at him expressionlessly, "In view of your assistance to the Northern Yuan in attacking the Ming Dynasty this time, the Ming Dynasty no longer needs you to guard the frontier, and there will be a new Guanxi Seven Guards to replace you!" ”

"What...... What the? Hearing this, Timur was stunned, no matter what, he didn't expect Li Yuntian to replace them with new Guanxi Seven Guards, which meant that they had lost their value, and Da Ming obviously had the strength to establish seven new guards in Guanxi to replace them.

"If you don't believe it, we can try it on the battlefield and see if your Kansai cavalry is powerful or our officers and soldiers are powerful in firearms." Li Yuntian glanced at the frightened Timur, and said quietly, "How do you think Benhou defeated the Northern Yuan soldiers in Liaodong?" ”

"Fire ...... Firearm! Timur then came back to his senses, and at this time he realized another Yan zhòng problem, and looked at Li Yuntian with a stunned expression, looking a little incredulous.

Although the Kwantan cavalry was stronger than the Mongol cavalry on the battlefield, Timur knew that the terrible thing of the Mongol cavalry on the battlefield was not to fight with people, but to destroy the enemy with bows and arrows.

The fact that the cavalry of the Ming army is not strong is well known, so in Timur's opinion, if Li Yuntian wants to defeat the Mongolian cavalry in Liaodong, he must rely on the firearms of the Ming army, but he has never believed that the firearms of the Ming army are so powerful.

"Benhou doesn't want the lives of the Daimyo Mansion to be ruined, so Benhou hopes that you can surrender and personally go to the capital to apologize to the emperor." Li Yuntian looked at Timur with a stern expression, and said word by word, "If you refuse, then we will only see you on the battlefield." ”

"Marquis Zhenwu, this time the matter is so big, do you think the leaders of Guanxi dare to go to the capital to meet the emperor?" Seeing that Li Yuntian didn't seem to be joking, Timur shook his head helplessly and said to Li Yuntian with a wry smile.

For the Guanxi Seven Guards who invaded the east, Li Yuntian's conditions were too harsh, and the Guanxi soldiers did evil along the way, and they harmed the people, if Emperor Xuande wanted to cure their crimes, then the leader of the Seven Guards of Guanxi would undoubtedly throw himself into the net, and he would not be taken by Emperor Xuande in the capital.

"If you don't repent of your previous rebellion, how can you make the emperor believe in your sincerity?" Li Yuntian sneered, and said in a cold voice, "This is your only chance, otherwise we can only solve this matter on the battlefield!" ”

"Zhenwu Hou, Dao Ge together, the Daimyo's Mansion is bound to be a river of blood, there is not such a big grudge between us, why do we have to come to this point, we have cheapened Turpan for nothing."

Timur finally realized that Li Yuntian was not in vain to be promoted from a civil official to a marquis in just a few years, and if he were someone else, he would probably not have such a tough attitude, so he groaned for a while and said to Li Yuntian with a wry smile.

"Turpan?" Li Yuntian naturally knew that what Timur was talking about Turpan uniting the countries of the Western Regions to attack the Seven Guards of Guanxi, so he said coldly, "Turpan has already submitted to the imperial court, indicating that they are going to fight you this time because you betrayed the Ming Dynasty, and they are helping the Ming Dynasty encircle and annihilate the rebels." ”

"If Turpan can surrender to the Ming Dynasty, then whoever is in power in the Western Regions will be the same for the Ming Dynasty." Saying that, Li Yuntian looked at Timur with meaning, he wanted to tell Timur that Daming was far from the point where he could not run the Western Regions without leaving the Seven Guards of Guanxi, on the contrary, Daming had many choices in the Western Regions.

Hearing this, Timur's face turned pale in an instant, if the Ming Dynasty subdued Turpan, then Turpan would become a barrier for the Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions.

Like Hami City, Turpan City is also an important town on the ancient Silk Road, with Huozhou Kingdom more than 100 miles to the west, more than 1,000 miles to Hami City to the east, and 2,600 miles to Jiayuguan.

In the Han Dynasty, Turpan was the country of Cheshi, the Sui Dynasty was the country of Gaochang, the Tang Dynasty later destroyed the country of Gaochang, placed Xizhou and Jiaohe County, the Song Dynasty was renamed Gaochang, for the Uighurs to occupy, once went to the Great Song Dynasty to pay tribute, and the Yuan Dynasty set up the Wanhu Mansion in time.

In the fourth year of Yongle, the Yongle Emperor sent an envoy to the capital of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and the envoy team passed through the Turpan country and gave the Turpan leader Sain Timur with colored coins, and Sain Timur then sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute.

In the sixth year of Yongle, the monk Qinglai of Turpan led his apprentice Faquan and others to pay tribute, and the Yongle Emperor ordered the Qing to educate the people of Turpan, and awarded him the empowerment of Cihui Yuanzhi ordinary national teacher, and brought seven apprentices to be the official of the Turpan monks, and gave them a lot of money, which made the apprentices of the Qing Dynasty go back and forth between Turpan and the Ming Dynasty, and paid tribute to the famous horses and sea greens, and the Yongle Emperor gave preferential treatment to these apprentices.

In the twentieth year of Yongle, Yin Jiercha, the leader of Turpan, and Ha Miwei sent thousands of horses to the Western Regions of Daming Gong, which made the Yongle Emperor Long's heart happy, and the edict was richly rewarded.

Yin Jiercha was then defeated in an engagement with the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and was driven out of Turpan by the Crooked Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, so he went to the Ming Dynasty to meet the Yongle Emperor.

Emperor Yongle treated Yin Jiercha well, ordered him to be the governor of the Ming Dynasty, and sent people to send him back to Turpan, so that Yin Jiercha had returned to Turpan to continue to rule.

Yin Jiercha was grateful to Emperor Yongle, so Hong Xi led people to the Ming Dynasty in the first year of tribute, and died of illness soon after.

In the third year of Emperor Xuande, Timur, the son of Yin Jiercha, came to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute and received a rich reward from Emperor Xuande.

Since Turpan and the Ming Dynasty are separated by the Kansai Seven Guards, there is no conflict of interest between the two sides, and Turpan's biggest enemy in the Western Regions is the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, followed by the Kansai Seven Guards.

In this way, the matter of the Kansai Seven Guards assisting Wara to attack the Ming Dynasty gave Turpan an opportunity to annex the Kansai Seven Guards, and it was obvious to the Ming that Turpan could also play the role of the Kansai Seven Guards as a barrier to the Ming Dynasty.

Especially this time Turpan led the Western Regions countries to attack the Seven Guards of Guanxi, in order not to anger the Ming Dynasty, he has sent people to the Ming Dynasty to explain the reasons for the dispatch of troops, and said that he will manage the Seven Guards of the Guanxi for the Ming Dynasty before the end of the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan.

It's just that because Beizhili was shrouded in war, the envoys of Turpan were blocked in Wanquan Dusi, and they did not enter the capital until Juyong Pass was recovered by the Ming army in Liaodong.

"Zhenwu Hou, the Ming Dynasty can't do this, once Turpan gets the land of Guanxi, then its power will definitely increase greatly, and it will definitely conquer other countries at that time, and then destroy the balance of power between the countries in the Western Regions, which is tantamount to raising a tiger for trouble, and it will inevitably threaten the frontier of the Ming Dynasty in the future."

Timur naturally understands the relationship between Turpan and the Ming Dynasty, and the leader of Turpan, Brother Man, Timur, has a friendly attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, so it is not impossible for the Ming Dynasty to choose Brother Manger Timur to take charge of the Seven Guards of Kansai, which makes him can't help but shed cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly said to Li Yuntian.

"The situation you said will not happen, of course the Ming Dynasty will not let Turpan monopolize the land of Kansai, then the land of Kansai will be divided into three parts, Turpan will only occupy one of them, and the other two parts will be given to Liucheng and Huozhou, so that Turpan, Liucheng and Huozhou will form a three-legged trend in Guanxi, so that my Ming frontier will be as stable as Mount Tai."

Li Yuntian sneered when he heard this, since he agreed with Turpan to attack the Seven Guards of Guanxi, then he must have his own reasons, and said to Timur in an orderly manner.

Timur's face suddenly became even more ugly, and Li Yuntian's words hit him accurately on the underbelly, if the Guanxi Qiwei lost its value to Daming, then Daming would choose a new candidate to replace them, and Turpan, Liucheng and Huozhou were indeed good candidates.

Of course, if the Ming Dynasty is willing, it can also support a new Kansai Seven Guards in the Kansai region, as long as the Ming Dynasty wins the war with the Tatars and Warats, then no one dares to find trouble with the Ming in the Western Regions.

To tell the truth, Timur originally thought that the Ming Dynasty would be defeated in the hands of the Tatars and Warat this time, but the direction of the battle situation was beyond his expectations, and the Ming Dynasty turned defeat into victory in the Liaodong battlefield, so that Li Yuntian could lead the Ming army of Liaodong into the pass, and then reversed the tide of the war in one fell swoop.

The Guanxi Qiwei were taken aback when they learned that the Ming army in Liaodong had entered the pass and recovered the Juyong Pass a few days earlier, which meant that the Ming army had cut off their back route, leaving them trapped in Beizhili.

What particularly made the generals of the Kwanti Army feel uneasy was that Turpan actually took advantage of the departure of the main force of the Seven Guards of the Kwanxi to lead the countries of the Western Regions to attack the Seven Guards of the Kwansai, and the remaining troops of the Seven Guards of the Kwantan were not opponents of the other side at all, and if they could not rush back in time, the Seven Guards of the Kwanxi would definitely be captured by Turpan and other countries.

To tell the truth, even if the Kansai Seven Guards break through the siege of the Ming army and go back, then the coalition forces facing the Turpan States may also break out a tragic war, Tatar and Warat are obviously unable to support them after suffering a big defeat, if the Ming Dynasty stands by and watches, or even falls into the ground, the Kansai Seven Guards will not be able to win the alliance led by Turpan.

At this moment, Timur finally realized that Da Ming now holds the power of life and death of the Kansai Qiwei in his hands, and Li Yuntian in front of him is the one who decides the fate of the Kansai Qiwei.
