In the fourteenth year of Hongxi, Qu Neng's son Qu Yu and Sheng Yong's son Sheng Zhen, two major generals of the new generation of the Ming Dynasty, joined forces to break the Hazr Khan of the Saidyi Dynasty.

The news spread to West Asia, and all the major dynasties exclaimed, Meng Yuan came again.

At that time, Mongolia swept across the Eurasian continent, slaughtered everywhere, built landscapes, and made all parts of the country frightened, but I didn't expect that after many years, the Ming army came again.

Fortunately, he didn't do it again after Sheng Zhen, but you haven't said it, since he built a landscape in the city of Lahore, it really worked, the Ming army was progressing smoothly, and not many people dared to resist desperately like the governor of Lahore, and quickly pacified the Saidyi dynasty.

From the 14th to the 15th year of Hongxi, 150,000 Ming troops entered Central Asia from all over the country, and 150,000 households immigrated to the household.

In just over a year, the state apparatus of the Ming Empire was in full swing, and about 700,000 Han Chinese poured into the Sadeyi Dynasty (Yindu).

At the end of the fifteenth year of Hongxi, Xu An and Mu Sheng led the Ming army to attack from Jiaozhi, Yunnan and Malacca to destroy Siam.

Since then, the Ming Dynasty has completely opened up the connection with Central Asia.

At the beginning of the sixteenth year of Hongxi, Zhu Gaoxu set up Tailuo Province, with Zhang Fu, the governor of Bangladesh Province, as the governor of the two provinces, Qian Xun, and Zhao Qing.

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has established new posts of governor and governor in the occupied territories, which are rotated for five years.

Among them, the provinces of Bangladesh and Taylor were led by Zhang Fu as governor.

Chen Wen was originally the governor of New Delhi, but in the sixteenth year of Hongxi, he was also the governor of Ahan Province.

The former governor of Ahan Province was the local Zabul, which was set up by the Ming army just to occupy Ahan Province in order to stabilize local rule, and now a few years have passed, Zhu Gaoxu found a reason to remove Zabul, and Chen Wen was also the governor of the two provinces.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was in the west and Central Asia, and there were three major governors.

King Ning, the governor of Shazhou (there are still a few months, and the five years are due, and the imperial court is ready to be replaced by Zhu Youxuan, the third son of King Zhou, and is already on his way to Shazhou. ）

The scope of responsibility of Shazhou, basically including most of the later generations of Xin, Xi, Qingdao, and Mongolia, was originally vast and sparsely populated, Zhu Gaoxu immigrated here for five years in a row, hundreds of thousands of households, two or three million Han people were moved here, and now cities like Shazhou, Chijin City, Shache, etc., after years of expansion, are huge and magnificent, with a population of hundreds of thousands.

The new and Albanian governors Awen, who was responsible for the later Yindu, the Sri Lanka part, the Bajistan, and the Afuhan part, had just conquered less than two or three years here, and some places had only been conquered for less than a year, and Zhu Gaochu moved more than 200,000 households and millions of people to this side, but some of them were the original inhabitants of Malacca and other places, of course, they are now considered Han Chinese.

Zhang Fu, the governor of Qin and Meng, was mainly responsible for the later Bengal, Siam, Mian mat, Laowu and other places, which were occupied by the Ming army relatively late, most of them were conquered within one or two years, and a small number were conquered for four or five years, and Zhu Gaoxu is currently immigrating to these places to consolidate his rule.

At the same time, this year, Zhu Gaoxu gave Zhang Fu a goal, within two years, to move 200,000 local original residents to Shazhou to fill the population of the northwest of the Ming Dynasty.

In short, after the Ming army occupied various places, there was already a set of skillful handling procedures, all of which were according to Zhu Gaoxu's past.

The first step is to purge the rebels, and the rebels are usually local officials, descendants of the royal family, and wealthy businessmen, and only these people like to do things.

Zhu Gaoxu had already set an example in Jiaozhi back then, and now he is also the standard configuration of Daming.

All cleared, after the Ming army entered the dynasties, whether it was the royal family of the local dynasty, officials, rich merchants and landlords, they were either cleared and killed, or arrested to be miners, in short, there was no one left.

Only the common people and the middle and lower classes such as craftsmen and doctors remained.

Then, in the process of purging, all the wealth of the dynasties was collected, and then the fields were distributed to the common people.

After this set was completed, the resistance forces of the basic dynasties had been swept away.

Historically, after the Mongol conquest, it was usually indiscriminate killing except for artisans.

The people who kill are panicked and frightened everywhere, so it is easy to arouse the heart of the same enemy, after you break the city anyway, all of them will be killed, and everyone will naturally resist with all their might.

The Ming army is now only targeting the aristocratic royal family and the rich, and the common people are quite happy to see it.

After the killing, the fields were divided among the people, and the people were even happier.

Then the second set of processes of the Ming army began, because whether it was Central Asia or West Asia, there were different beliefs and many nationalities.

So continue to clear, what temple and what temple, all razed, confiscated wealth, want to mask are not allowed to be covered, all wear from Sinicization.

This time, those who want to resist don't even have the opportunity to be miners, so they all will be killed.

At this time, in the process of the transformation of Central Asia and West Asia from Kui to Yi, history was driven by violence, and it was all done with butcher's knives and blood.

After this wave was cleared, there was basically no resistance in the local area.

Then the Ming army began the third step, full sinicization, learning Chinese characters, speaking Chinese, and at the same time following the previous policy, learning Chinese characters, understanding Chinese, issuing Han identity, and enjoying benefits, and even being an official, in some places there is a quota limit every year, not a hundred people can speak Chinese proficiently, you can get Han identity, so as to encourage the people of all countries to compete for sinicization.

The whole three steps will take about five to ten years, and basically after ten years, there will be no other written materials in the occupied areas, and some people may still speak the national language in private, but they will certainly not be seen in public.

In the next decade, the teenagers in the occupied areas grew up and basically could only speak Chinese, and after a few decades, when the older generation left, they were all slowly sinicized.

At this time, the Ming army has passed exactly five years from Sheng Yong's first wave of soldiers and horses out of Jiayu Pass to the present.

Zhu Gaoxu basically achieved the first strategic goal, controlling and occupying Central Asia, establishing Han Chinese regime, opening schools, immigrating in large numbers, and plundering all the wealth of these places.

The Ming army fought for five years, invested 200,000 troops from all sides, and recently mobilized 150,000 at one time.

A total of 350,000 troops have been invested, and the cost is not calculated, but the wealth plundered in the past five years has reached an astonishing hundreds of millions of yuan, and in addition to military expenses and immigration, building cities, clearing wasteland, and tuntian, it can still make a net profit.

As for the minerals obtained in Yindu, Siam and other major dynasties, there are countless ones.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had no martial arts, and the entire court knew that it was possible to make money by fighting.

Of course, the premise is to win.

In the 16th year of Hongxi, Zhu Gaoxu launched a new policy in various places, recruiting a total of 200,000 young people aged 18-20 from Yindu, Siam, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and other places, and trained them intensively for military use.

This was the first time that the Ming army had recruited such a large number of soldiers in the occupied areas, and everyone was concentrated in Islan Fort and Kabul, where they were subjected to intensive training for a year.

During the training, they were also phased out, and those who could not stand the suffering, and those who were trained to die and discarded, were re-recruited and replaced, and it was guaranteed that after one year, there would be 200,000 elite infantry.

They will all be equipped with cold weapons, which will be used for foot combat and siege.

——

In March of the 16th year of Hongxi, the weather warmed up, and the governor of Singapore and Afghanistan, Chen Wen, had already moved the governor's palace from New Delhi to Kabul.

Early this morning, Chen Wen brought the chief military officer Qu Yu and the governor Zhou Guowen to Sarobi, an important town in the east of Kabul.

This side was originally a small town, the population was less than thousands, after the Ming army captured Kabul, set up a Han left guard, stationed a guard of 5,000 people, and then recruited local people to build the city, has now formed a circumference of 12 miles, 10 meters high new city.

After Chen Wen arrived in Central Asia, he found a strange thing, in Central Asia, in addition to a few famous big cities, many towns and cities have no walls, even if there are, they may be low walls, it is no wonder that Mongolia fought very easily here, small towns, really no resistance.

For example, the Saidyi Dynasty occupied nearly 60% of the area of Yindu in later generations, and there were less than ten large cities with ten-meter-high walls, except for the capital with a moat, no other cities had it.

This is quite advantageous for the attacker.

Of course, the Central and Western Asia side is now more martial, generally there are few siege battles, the enemy is coming, most of the defenders will go out of the city to fight with the enemy, one is that they like to fight frontally in ancient times, and the other is that they can know that the city is not tall enough, and it is useless to defend it.

But the Ming army is now precious, and in order to sweep West Asia and enter Europe in the future, Zhu Gaoxu has been training siege soldiers and horses of conquering countries to use as cannon fodder.

Sarobi City is now quite prosperous, the Ming army guards a guard, more than 5,000 people, plus tens of thousands of Ming people and other ethnic groups who immigrated, as well as tens of thousands of local people, close to 100,000 people.

Among them, the Ming army and the Ming people were in the city, and other immigrants and local people were outside the city, forming villages around the city.

The conditions were a little worse, but the Ming army was also good to them, providing cattle, sheep and seeds, teaching them to farm, and if conditions permitted, they also dug rivers to build canals and build water conservancy.

Early in the morning, Chen Wen came to the east of the city with a wave of people.

There is a section of 500 meters of wall built here that is particularly high, 15 meters.

At this time, outside the city, a large number of Ahan, Yindu, and Benga people lined up here, about thousands of people.

Twenty ladders are placed side by side on the city walls.

Many low-ranking officers of the Ming army were on the scene.

People of all ethnic groups lined up in long lines.

The officer of the Ming Army raised his hand, and then shouted: "Up." ”

An Ahan man bit a wooden knife in his mouth and climbed up frantically.

"Quick, quick, quick." The Ming army shouted in the back.

For example, the Chinese characters of Kuai, which are basically understood by those who have been trained, because at least they have been routinely trained by the Ming army for three months.

During the first three months of training, the Ming army had interpreters on the spot, but now at the end of the three months, all their ethnic groups have come together, and they can understand some simple Chinese characters without interpreting.

Because if you don't understand, you're likely to be punished by military regulations.

The Han people climbed fast, swishing, desperately climbing up.

The first element of the Ming army's training in siege warfare is fast.

Once you've gone up the ladder, don't think about anything, just fly up, and don't look up no matter what falls from it.

The Han people climbed very quickly, and the fifteen-meter-high city wall reached the top in less than ten seconds.

"Okay." There was a low-ranking officer of a foreign nationality on it, saying yes in Chinese characters loudly.

Then another Han man prepared, took a wooden knife, and bit it on the mouth.

"Up." Ming Jun waved his hand, swishing, and this person also quickly climbed up.

The entire 500-meter-long section of the city wall is to practice climbing ladders, and the requirement is to be fast, fast, fast.

Chen Wen looked around, he was still quite satisfied, he couldn't help but think that the emperor led them to attack Beiping City, the emperor personally trained a wave of men and horses, wrapped in iron armor, and rushed to the head of the city quickly, which was really quite powerful.

Since ancient times, everyone felt that siege warfare was difficult to fight, but Chen Wen followed Zhu Gaoxu through the two major battles of Jingjing and rebellion, and found that during the siege war, after the attacker went up the ladder, he did not climb up quickly.

The besieging side is watching while climbing, and they are also careful to be on guard.

This is tantamount to creating time and opportunity for the defenders to kill them.

Only Zhu Gaoxu thought of fast attack, and had strict time requirements for climbing ladders, and at the same time used for assessment.

The fifteen-meter ladder, if you don't wear armor, you need to climb it within ten seconds to be qualified.

When these Han people first practiced, it took about 20 seconds for each of them.

After practicing for a while, I immediately entered fifteen seconds.

After a month, most of them can get into ten seconds.

Climbing so fast, there is also a cloud ladder to do with it, the Ming army's cloud ladder is also specially built, the style is exactly the same, which makes them familiar with it in training, when they use it on the battlefield, they will not be unfamiliar, and they can quickly step on it with their eyes closed.

But now it's just not armor-piercing, and when the city is really attacked, the first few waves will be equipped with heavy armor, and then the speed will be reduced.

The Ming army now gives them non-armor training, and after they qualify, they are equipped with heavy armor.

Chen Wen is confident that after a year, these 200,000 soldiers and horses will be trained, whether it is West Asia or Europe, there will be no cities that may resist the Ming army's conquest.

"I heard that there are no big cities in Europe, and it's a bit overkill for us to train so many siege soldiers." At this time, Qu Yu smiled on the side.

"The fast ladder climb is also a kind of physical training, and it is quite exhausting over and over again, which is also a kind of training." Chen Wen said.

Qu Yu's face was straight, and he really didn't think about it enough.

The elite soldiers trained in this way, even if they are not used to siege cities, can still be elite.

Now the Ming army trains them, usually in the first three months of the queue, and they learn some Chinese characters every night, mainly to understand and learn some simple words of the Ming army, after all, they are all foreigners.

The middle three months were city climbing training, and they had to learn some simple Chinese characters every night, not requiring them to be able to speak Chinese, but to understand simple commands.

This was followed by three months of cohort training, which intensified the physical training every night.

In the last three months, the intensity of training will be lowered to restore their physical strength and body to prepare for the expedition, and at the same time, they will take more Chinese classes to try to make them speak a few simple Chinese.

The whole training period is one year, and those who perform well in the middle, and those who are good at learning Chinese, will be promoted to officers, and their families will be rewarded with money and fields, and they will be vigorously promoted in the army.

Just the day before yesterday, there were a few Han Chinese who learned well and could speak a few words of Chinese, and Chen Wen personally issued a reward on the spot in the army, giving each of them ten acres of land and 100 Ming copper coins to their families.

At that time, many Han people were envious.

"If you train them well, they will all have a great effect in the future." Finally, Chen Wen smiled and patted Qu Yu's shoulder.

This is all cannon fodder for our Ming Dynasty, so stay good.
