After the Ming army entered the city of Kabul, it did not continue to pursue to the west or press north towards Samarkand.

Zhu Gaoxu gave Sheng Yong and Qu Neng a long time, and was not in a hurry to capture the territory of the entire Timurid Empire.

Zhu Gaoxu demanded to capture a piece, consolidate a piece, hold it firmly, and completely sinicize it.

After this battle, the Ming army was surrendered to about 20,000 troops, basically all of whom were local Afuhans, with a small number of Turks and Hezhong people.

After Sheng Yong entered the city, he first controlled the whole city, rectified the surrender army, and collected all the surrender weapons, because the Ming army did not need a vassal army, only labor.

In May, the Ming army announced the establishment of Han Province, with Zabul as the governor, Qu Neng, and Zhou Guowen, the Han official who accompanied him.

In June, the Ming army occupied all the important towns east of Kabul, and the Ming army had officially bordered the southern Delhi Sultanate (Indu).

But the Delhi Sultanate knew the strength of the Ming army, of course, did not dare to provoke, at this time the Delhi Sultanate was also formed by countless small forces in the alliance, the country has experienced several dynasty changes, and is currently the fourth dynasty, ascended in 1414, the Sayyid Dynasty, founded by the former Punjab Governor Hazr Khan.

The Delhi Sultanate was full of local powers, with numerous governors, and in 1414 Hazr Khan was recognized by the governors of various places and established the Sayyid dynasty.

Hazr Khan was appointed by Timur as a local governor, attached to the Timurid Empire, when Timur decided to go east to conquer the Ming Dynasty, he also sent troops to participate, and later Timur died of illness, the crusade was abandoned, and Hazr Khan came back to run his own territory.

When Shaharu went on an expedition a few years ago, Hazr Khan was busy fighting for territory in the country, so he did not go in person, but sent 5,000 soldiers and horses and 20,000 men to follow and help, but he was defeated and returned.

After Shaharu returned, Hazr Khan did not take him seriously and basically broke away from the Timurid Empire.

It is equivalent to the Ming army's westward expedition a few years later, Hazr Khan has become the sultan of the Sayyid dynasty, and his status can be equal to Shahru, and he is set in Delhi, which is more than 1,000 miles away from Isburg occupied by the Ming army, which is quite close.

Knowing that the Ming army had repelled Shahru, Hazr Khan immediately sent an envoy to express his submission and willingness to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Sheng Yong didn't have time to pay attention to him, according to the emperor's strategy, let him pay tribute to 1,000 craftsmen, 1,000 beauties, 1,000 taels of silver, and 100 taels of gold every year.

The tribute of silver is trivial to Hazr Khan, Sheng Yong wants their craftsmen, and the beauties are all incidental.

Hazr Khan had no choice but to agree.

He couldn't do anything if he didn't agree, and at this time he was in a dangerous situation, with the Ming army in the north and occupying all the territory from Kabul to the east of Ispo.

The west was originally Shahru's territory, but Shaharu had fled to Samarkand in the north, and now it is self-reliant, but once the Ming army goes, it must be the Ming army.

The Ming army in the south set out from Malacca, and the Ming army infantry battalion in the east was attacking the Kingdom of Bengal, and this battle has been fought for several years since the Kingdom of Bengal participated in the Eastern Expedition of Shahru.

The Ming army sent 20,000 infantry battalions and 10,000 sailors every year to attack the Bengal Kingdom from two directions, using continuous wars of attrition to continuously consume the Bengal Kingdom.

After five years of fighting, the kingdom of Bengal was seriously depleted, and a large amount of land in the east was lost.

The Ming army rotated soldiers and horses to fight every year, and after occupying the territory, they immigrated here and devoured Bangladesh little by little.

At present, the Kingdom of Bengal has less than one-tenth of the territory under its control.

In less than a year, the country may be wiped out by the Ming army.

By then, Hazr Khan was surrounded by Ming forces, and he already had a faint sense that something was wrong.

Sheng Yong first stabilized Hazr Khan, and then ordered in July that all tribes in the territory, no matter what nationality, should not wear scarves, wear Hanfu, wear Han ornaments, learn Chinese, and at the same time destroy Qing monasteries everywhere.

After Timur's conquest, he built a Qing temple to spread Elanology, and soon became a famous Ilan cultural center at that time.

Now Sheng Yong learns from Timur, and whoever does not obey will be killed.

At this time, Timur had only occupied this place for more than 20 years, and it had not yet taken root in later generations, and there were not many rebels, and by the end of the eleventh year of Hongxi, the east of Kabul was basically killed and subdued.

The locals all wear Hanfu and use Han ornaments, whether it is west of Persia or Samarkand, even if they send a fine work, they will know at a glance, unless they also change to wear Hanfu and Han ornaments.

In the twelfth year of Hongxi (1418), about 10,000 families and tens of thousands of Han people set off from Jiayuguan, and a large number of carriages and crowds came to Kabul.

Another group of migrants traveled thousands of miles to Central Asia.

After about two or three years, Sheng Yong and Qu Neng basically consolidated their local rule, appointed officials, established county governments, and fought against rebellions, reaching Persia on the western front, maintaining peace with Hazr Khan in the south, and persecuting Shaharu in the north, suppressing Shaharu on the Samarkand line.

After taking Kabul, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, which was close to the Ming Dynasty, was already trembling, and Maha Khan began to think about moving westward, because he knew that it would not be long before the Ming Dynasty consolidated its rule in Kabul, and it would inevitably open fire on him.

——

In February of the twelfth year of Hongxi (1418), Jingshi Ying Tianfu prefect Yamen was on a tower east of the yamen.

Today the weather is fine, and two postmen are standing on it, and there is a signal from the north through the towers all the way to this side.

One of them was watching and talking, and the other was remembering.

"Ulos Mahamu (the leader of the Warat nobles) was killed by Ugqi Hashkha last year, and not long after Ugqi Hashkha died again, Esekhu Khan unified all the tribes, controlled 150,000 strings, and asked for help from the Ming Dynasty."

The news soon spread to the imperial city of Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaochu took a look, the three people in front of him were father and son, Mahamu and Eseku were brothers, first the father killed his son, and then the father died somehow, and then the youngest son Eseku became the new Khan.

After the death of Mahamu, his son Tuhuan was named the king of Shunning by Zhu Di in the original history, and then the relationship between the Ming Dynasty was maintained very well, and Tuhuan was very deferential to Renxuan. The Warat people can also live in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and only Warat can obtain bows, knives, firearms, steel feathers, etc. in the Ming Dynasty, so Warat is the tribe with the fastest recovery in strength among the nomadic tribes, laying the foundation for the future Warat to substantially unify the Mobei tribes.

Decades later, Tuhuan's son Yexian, with the support of the Ming Dynasty's long-term bow, sword, fire, steel feather and other things, unified Mobei, attacked the Ming Dynasty, and created the world-famous Tumu Fort Change.

Now that history has changed, Tuhuan once again asked Daming for help, hoping to get Daming's support.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't know him, let alone that he was Yexian's father.

But he has long wanted to do something to Wara, and since he succeeded to the throne, he has strictly controlled the transaction with Wara, and the Ming Dynasty did not have a pound of iron, a knife, and a feather flowing to Mobei, just to prepare for the Northern Expedition.

Now Sheng Yong and Qu Neng have won a perfect victory in the western expedition and have begun to consolidate and absorb their territory.

swept through Mobei and began to put it on the agenda.

And with the strength of the Ming Dynasty now, there is no need to make a big fuss.

He directly ordered: "Spread the decree of peace, He Fu, Gu Xingguo, Beiping, Daning, and Nuergan Sandu Division, gather 50,000 troops, and fight Wara." ”

"With Ping'an as the main general of the expedition to the north, He Fu and Gu Xingguo as the deputy generals of the left and right."

"This battle, mainly killed, wounded and plundered, plundered the population of Wara, along Shaanxi and Gansu, and immigrated to Ahan Province."

"The Ministry of Household Affairs is trying its best to cooperate with the immigrants."

The Northern Expedition, which originally required labor and mobilization and consumed national strength, looked extremely easy in Zhu Gaoxu's Ming Dynasty, almost equivalent to a local small-scale battle.

After his holy decree was issued, about half an hour, it had already been transmitted to the capital of Beiping, a day later to Daning, and four days later to Nu'er, which was extremely efficient.

At this time, the Daming visual communication tower was only built near Beijing, Jiangnan and Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Shandong and Beiping, and other places are still under construction.

A few days later, Gu Xingguo and He Fu all arrived, the three of them met, and the soldiers and horses were dispatched, and 50,000 elite horsemen were dispatched for this battle, one person and two horses, only part of the supplies, and the study of Mongolia to support the war.

In the twelfth year of Hongxi, the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty was silent, except for a slight report in the newspaper, this matter seemed to be very calm and insignificant.
