"Someone claimed to be a remnant of the previous dynasty and wanted to ask to see the governor in person. But looking at his high cheeks and deep eyes, he doesn't seem to be a Han Chinese, but a foreign return. ”

"Bring it in."

A middle-aged man who didn't know how much blood he had mixed was brought to Jiang Liang by the guards, and he bowed and said, "Liu Qin, a remnant of the previous dynasty, meet Lord Dudu." ”

"If you can speak Chinese, you are a remnant of the previous dynasty?" Jiang Liang suddenly smiled and said, "You are very good at speaking Chinese, and when you hear it, you learned it when you grow up in another race." ”

Liu Qin stated: "The sixth ancestor in the lower was Ji Shan, the king of the Ming Dynasty. Serious Ming Juren was sent to Hamiwei to teach Confucianism. Hamiwei fell, and the king of Zhongshun went into exile, and the sixth ancestor of Xia has been following him all over the world. Later, King Zhongshun died violently, and the sixth ancestor was captured by the Great Khan of Chagatai and placed in Turpan to remarry and have children. ”

Jiang Liang asked, "Who is the King of Daming Zhongshun?" ”

Liu Qin explained: "The king of the Ming Dynasty is the commander of the Hamiwei, and his ancestors are Mongolian nobles who defected to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming court did not interfere in Hami affairs, but it has always sent Han officials to serve as Changshi and Ji Shan. The sixth ancestor of the next generation is really a Han Chinese, although they all married women of different races later, but the Confucian classics in charge of Wang Fu Jishan must be studied from an early age by each generation of descendants. ”

Jiang Liang asked again: "I have occupied Kashgar for half a year, why are you only here now?" ”

"It's a long way to go, and it's a long journey from Gurban, Alimatu (Almaty)." Liu Qin said.

Almaty is the core territory of the Great Yuz!

Jiang Liang asked, "What is the current situation in Da Yuzi?" ”

Liu Qin said: "Yarkand's soldiers and horses were beaten by the governor and fled to Dayuzi, and they conquered several tribes in the late autumn of last year. After the beginning of spring, the great battle broke out again, and when Xia left, the Yarkand soldiers and horses were victorious. However, the scattered Yuzi tribes were forced to join forces to fight. Moreover, after the conquest of the steppe area of Dayuzi, there are still many cities to hold. Yarkand's soldiers and horses do not seem to be good at besieging cities. ”

"What is the reaction of the Dzungar Ministry?" Jiang Liang continued to ask.

Liu Qin explained: "There is a tribe in the Dzungar Mongols that is nomadic in the Yinli steppe. This tribe is also fighting against the Yarkand soldiers and horses, but I heard that it has suffered a defeat. ”

Don't look at Yaolevas was driven away by the Datong army, but when he arrived at Dayuzi and Yin Li, he was able to beat the forces there.

Historically, if Yaolevas had not been assassinated, it would have been really difficult for the Dzungar tribe to annex Yarkand. If this man is given ten years to develop, he will most likely unify the Yarkand Khanate.

Liu Qin suddenly asked, "Where is the governor going to fight?" ”

Jiang Liang thought about it for a while, and decided to answer half-truthfully: "Occupy the Pamir land in the south and recover the green ridge of the Tang Dynasty." As for the west, hit the territory of the Gilicis. Now that both places have been won, they do not plan to continue their march for the time being. ”

Liu Qin knew that his opportunity to make meritorious contributions had come, and said excitedly: "Dudu, if the Western Regions want to be stable, there are two places that must be taken. ”

"Oh, which two places?" Jiang Liang said with a smile.

Liu Qin said: "One is the Yinli Valley, and the other is the Fergana Valley. If these two valleys are captured, the army of the Western Regions will not lack food and grass. Moreover, these two valleys are also good for defense, and both are surrounded by mountains. ”

Yin Li must be recovered, but in the Fergana Valley, Jiang Liang really didn't want to occupy it.

Jiang Liang asked: "In the Fergana Valley, I heard that religion is very radical, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to rule if it is defeated." ”

Liu Qin explained: "No. There are radical sects and docile sects, and it is enough to support the meek and fight the radical. In the entire valley, there are hundreds of races, and as long as there is a strong army, it can be easily divided and governed. Moreover, after taking the Fergana Valley, not only did they get enough grain and grass, but also the Pamirs ...... There is also no need for garrisons in Green Ridge. ”

"Hundreds of races?" Jiang Liang was shocked, Tajik businessmen didn't tell him these contents.

Liu Qin immediately elaborated: "There are three major ethnic groups in the Fergana Valley, Uzbeks in the west, Gilligis in the north, and Tajiks in the south and east. In addition to these three major races, there are hundreds of smaller races. All races, nobles and commoners, hated the brutal rule of the Bukhara Khanate. ”

The information provided by Liu Qin was different from what Jiang Liang had learned, and it was also different from what Lei Zhiji had heard.

However, this information can be aggregated!

The Ferghana Basin, later known as the "powder keg of Central Asia".

Because the land is abundant, the products are abundant, and it is sandwiched between various forces, there are more than 100 local ethnic groups. Whoever comes in and stirs things up will easily explode when Mars is ignited, and even after hundreds of years, it will be the area with the most enclaves on Earth.

As long as Datong China occupies this place, whether it is immigrant or not, it can solve the problem of grain and grass in Lingling and Kashgar.

It is precisely because of the abundance of products in the Ferghana Basin that the exploitation of the local area by the Bukhara Khanate is far greater than that of the Green Mountains. The local Uzbeks, who have revolted many times over the years, will be independent in another forty years (Kokand Khanate).

Jiang Liang asked, "Do you know how many garrisons of the Bukhara Khanate are there in the entire Ferghana Valley?" ”

Liu Qin said: "There are only 10,000 or 20,000 troops in the garrison, but if there is a war, you can recruit soldiers of all ethnic groups and easily pull up more than 100,000 people." ”

"100,000 enemy troops, it's not easy to fight, it's too difficult to transport military rations." Jiang Liang shook his head.

Liu Qinmeng knelt down and bowed: "If the governor can be trusted, he can take the entire valley with only three thousand soldiers and horses!" ”

Jiang Liang was surprised by this, and said with interest: "How can you fight with three thousand soldiers and horses?" ”

Liu Qin said: "All races in the valley want to rebel, and they have been suppressed many times. In the next place, you can contact the leaders of each department in advance and declare that there are 200,000 Celestial Empire troops coming. They could even spread rumors that the Great Khan of Bukhara was going to levy additional taxes. Spreading rumors requires the Governor to woo the merchants and promise to sell them more cheap goods. In order to make money, businessmen must be willing to cooperate. ”

"Once a rumor spreads, even if it is false, it will become true. In this way, all the departments are complaining, and they can take the opportunity to contact them. ”

"If any tribe does not want to rebel together, spread rumors that this tribe wants to rebel, and it will be suspected by the governor of Bukhara!"

"Then the 100,000 troops of each tribe can be used by us, but the enemy only has 10,000 or 20,000 left."

Jiang Liang did not immediately agree, although Liu Qin's strategy was wonderful, but relying on this method to lay down the territory, the future governance would be troublesome.

After thinking about it, Jiang Liang still decided to make a move.

In the future, let's talk about it later, taking it there is a great military feat.

According to the old name of the Han and Tang dynasties, the Pamir Plateau is the Green Ridge, and the Ferghana Basin is Dawan!

When the time comes, lead a horse to Zhao Han: "Your Majesty, this is Dawan Horse, and in the future, Dawan Divine Horse will be owned by Your Majesty." ”

"Go down."

Jiang Liangping withdrew from this person, and said to the guards: "Call Lei Zhiji." ”

The plan was changed again, and the Green Ridge was not in a hurry to build a city for the time being, as long as the Ferghana Basin was taken, the Green Ridge garrison of 1,000 would be safe.

Liang Zhen was the main general, Lei Zhiji was the deputy general, and Liu Qin served as a supernumerary staff officer, leading 3,500 cavalry to the battle.

Of course, before going on the expedition, you also need to hit the information station.

Jiang Liang immediately ordered the restoration of the Silk Road, and a large number of merchants poured into Kashgar, and he took the opportunity to spread the false news that 200,000 troops had set out on the expedition.

At the same time, he continued to meet with businessmen and obtain the basic information of businessmen first. Specially selected Uzbek and Tajik businessmen, promising to issue them a special license for a period of five years, with which they can purchase goods at low prices in Kashgar (Han merchants who sell their goods can get tax rebates).

After buying the merchant, he assigned the merchant a task.

In the autumn of that year, all the merchants who returned from Kashgar brought back the false news that "the 200,000 Datong army was about to attack Ferghana".

And the merchants who were bought by Jiang Liang spread rumors everywhere that the king of Bukhara was going to raise taxes.

Two fake news came out at the same time, and the whole basin became a rumor.

On the one hand, the governor was nervous and sent people to the tribes to gather the army.

On the one hand, the ministries are complaining that the king has raised taxes several times, and if the taxes are raised again, this is to force everyone to death.

Liu Qin, who has a foreign appearance, has already disguised himself as a merchant at this time and entered Ferghana with the goods.

He first contacted the nearest Tajik chief to preach the Chinese court's tax reduction policy. added fuel and vinegar to tell how powerful the Chinese army was, and beat the Yarkand Khanate to the ground. Besides, as soon as the 200,000 Chinese army arrived, the governor of Bukhara would definitely not be able to resist it.

If you don't help China fight, you have to help Bukhara fight, and you have to choose whether you want to live or die.

The Tajik leader immediately agreed, willing to help China in the war. Anyway, promise to come down first, and when the time comes, depending on the situation, whichever side has the advantage will help.

Several Tajik tribes were visited in succession, and all the leaders agreed.

It went so smoothly that Liu Qin felt bad, and he immediately changed his plan temporarily.

Liu Qin quietly contacted the bribed businessmen and asked them to spread the "truth". Shake out all the tribes that have promised to help, say that these tribes want to rebel, and finally simply say that the Tajiks want to rebel.

As soon as the matter became serious, the goods immediately went to the territory of the Gilligis.

After visiting several tribes, he once again spread the "truth" that the Gilligis people in the north had all taken refuge in China. The Gilligis in the Ferghana Basin have been bewitched by their fellow tribes and plan to defect to help the Datong army.

In the end, Liu Qin didn't bother to go to the west again, and directly said that the Uzbeks in the west wanted to rebel.

This is a powder keg, and the rampage of King Braha has provoked many uprisings.

Now rumors are flying all over the sky, and the governor and the heads of the various departments know that someone is doing something. However, the governor did not dare to disbelieve, and neither did the chiefs of the tribes to believe the governor's disbelief.

The Datong army has not yet arrived, and the fight is already about to start here.

The governor decreed that before winter, the troops must be assembled with troops, otherwise it would be regarded as ill-intentioned.

The governor wanted to intimidate the ministries, but the leaders of the ministries were frightened, thinking that the governor was going to act in advance.

The most powerful Kokand tribe directly killed the officials of Kokand City and announced that he had been appointed governor by the Chinese emperor. This guy is really pulling the flag and rebelling!
