In this era, the whole world is in a state of alternation between the old and the new.

In the West, the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France was in full swing; The terrible Black Death is still raging in Europe; The power of the pope is dwindling; But the vigorous Renaissance has begun to brew under the undercurrent, and the countries of Europa are about to begin to catch up with the Chinese civilization.

In the East, the rising Ming Empire banned the invincible Mongol regime, and the surrounding countries that had been inherited for a hundred years also began a new round of reshuffle with the collapse of the Mongol and Yuan Empires. This round of reshuffle affected not only the Wa Kingdom, Goryeo, and Warat, but also the four great khanates of the former Mengyuan Dynasty.

The Chagatai Khanate in the northwest was divided into two, and the Western Chagatai Khanate was usurped by the rising Timur and became the Timurid Empire that was about to rise to the top; The Eastern Chagatai Khanate, known as Yili Tunri, survived between the Varat and the Timurid Empire.

But what the Ming court, which was far away in Yingtian, didn't know was that Yili Lili, who was caught in the whirlpool, had completed the split again.

"You mean, Yili has now divided the east and the west again, the Great Khan in the west, the 'Black Son of Fire', has lost the rule of the Hami region, and the Unasuri, who guards the city of Hami, has established himself as a mighty king......" The long name of the Mongols is undoubtedly a test for Zhu Di's memory. However, in order to understand the overall situation, he still struggled to write down these names. "And this person inexplicably trusts you, and has hired you as a 'national teacher'?"

"Amitabha." Yao Guangxiao proclaimed the Buddha's name and nodded. Zhu Di's eyes suddenly became a little strange: "It seems that this mighty king of Hami has not heard of the name of the shogunate of the Wa Kingdom...... Hiring an old monk as a national teacher, I am afraid that you will follow in the footsteps of the Ashikaga family. ”

"Good, if the poor monk can slaughter a dragon for Daming again, why not." Yao Guangxiao didn't care about the faint sarcasm in Zhu Di's words, but frankly admitted his intention to blend in here to be a national teacher. "This place was originally the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty and the Yizhou of the Tang Dynasty. Return to China, the world wishes. ”

"It's just that now it's attracting tigers and wolves to watch...... Warat had promised to cede the land to the Timurid Khanate, so that he could join the Ming in the war against the Timurid Khanate. If this place is lost, the western frontier of the Ming Dynasty is in danger. ”

"Compared to this, a mere mighty king who has seized Hami is insignificant."

Zhu Di nodded. Compared with the Warat and Timurid Khanates, a Mongol warlord who wanted to divide Hami was indeed just a mustard disease, and the top priority should be not to allow Warat to successfully occupy Hami City. Many of the tribes along the way were sparsely populated, and now they had found a reason. It must be because Sudieer wants to capture Hami, so he levied the grassland Qingzhuang. The reason why Ugqi Hashha went to Weidi to fight the grass valley now seems that it is also Sudie'er who wants to use this method to contain Daming.

Let Daming be tired of defending the field, so as not to pay attention to Hami in the west. After all, Hami is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty......

"But now that winter is about to begin, and if we defeat Warat today, we must wait until the beginning of spring next year." Zhu Di said. "The siege of Hami has been solved?"

"Not really." Yao Guangxiao's face was heavy. "On the contrary, the poor monk thought that Warat would take advantage of the winter to attack ......"

"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Di straightened his body.

"Since the succession of the Great Khan, in order to unify the grassland, the tribe has been coerced everywhere, and there is no recuperation." Yao Guangxiao led Zhu Di to a map and analyzed the situation for him. "Presumably, in the western part of the grassland, there are not many cattle and sheep for the herdsmen to spend the winter......"

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be all the more important to retire?" Zhu Di was puzzled.

"If it is my Chinese army, I should withdraw and wait for the spring to fight again." Yao Guangxiao said, his face was already worried. But for the Mongols, it was a fight to the death that should have been fought harder...... Just to find a way to live. ”

"You mean...... Grab? Zhu Di was suddenly surprised.

Yao Guangxiao nodded.

There are not enough materials on the grassland, and if you are a farming nation like Huaxia, you should return to recuperate and recuperate, and only when the logistics and grass are sufficient can you fight again. But for a grassland lord like Sudieer, there are no winter supplies on the grassland, so it's easy to do. Just let the warriors grab it, grab it, and that's it.

It is precisely because there are no supplies that the soldiers who are requisitioned will work even harder, because if they don't desperately rob them, the fate that awaits them is to freeze to death and starve to death.

This is also the inevitable law of the grassland peoples in dealing with the Central Plains for thousands of years: whenever there is a "white disaster" on the grassland, the Khan king who rules the grassland must lead troops into the country. Whether they won or lost, they were able to survive the cold winter: they won and snatched rich supplies from the Central Plains, and everything was happy; If you are defeated, enough weak people are consumed, and the remaining materials are naturally enough for the rest to barely survive.

At this time, the grassland people are often the most terrifying and fearless of death.

"Then isn't there a great possibility that the Warat people will invade my Ming mainland in the south?" Zhu Di frowned, but soon, he also figured out that this worry was unfounded. First, the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty are impregnable, and if you want to invade the Ming Dynasty, you must pay a great price, and although Su Dieer is brutal, she is definitely unwilling to sacrifice too many troops.

And Xu Da is now sitting in Hala and Lin, and there are still more than 10,000 Ming troops and tens of thousands of Duoyan cavalry under his command, like a nail, if Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, is not pulled out, and the retreat of the southern invasion of Sudie'er is very likely to be cut off.

Second, Hami is very rich, very rich. Zhu Di looked at the luxurious decoration around him and the cups inlaid with gold, silver and gemstones, and sincerely felt the decay of this century-old empire: like the Yuan Court, Hami, who originally belonged to the Chagatai Khanate, also accumulated the wealth of the Golden Family for a hundred years. You must know that almost all the wealth of the entire Eastern and Western world in the past has flowed into the hands of the descendants of the golden families of the Yuan Court and the Four Great Khanates. The "King of Hami" Urnasuri is also a member of the Golden Family, and naturally has a lot of wealth in his hands.

Persimmon has to pick up soft pinch, whether it is Da Ming or Xu Da, it is not easy to mess with. As long as you ask for Hami, the goods, cattle and sheep you get will be enough for you to spend this winter.

And to be able to fulfill the covenant with the Timurid Khanate, why not?

On the third day of the first month of October, the Wara Hao Haida Yubu, which had already been repulsed, marched again and surrounded the city of Hami. And this time, they seem to be more powerful than before.

Zhu Di even saw Jiu Xuan Bai Xuan who belonged to Ye Sudieer in the watchpiece.

Zhu Di didn't expect that he would be able to usher in a face-to-face decisive battle with Ye Sudieer so quickly.

The Great Khan of Warat also quickly died, and he was personally recruited.
