Chapter Seventy-Six: Jade Dragon Jiechi
Zhang Wuji and his entourage were delayed in the city for seven days to deal with some necessary issues.
It wasn't until Fan Yao personally arrived in the city that Zhang Wuji and the others continued their journey westward.
And Zhang Wuji's arrangements were also in place, although the ruling lord did not help him much, but he also recruited a lot of Semu officials for him, and now they are recalling the army of the Chagatai Khanate in the name of the palace, and then let the men and horses of the Ming Sect go to receive the major towns.
Therefore, after discussing with Fan Yao, he was promoted to the governor and supervised the place for Zhang Wuji.
And now is not the time to reward the ministers, and when the world is decided, Zhang Wuji will canonize these people accordingly.
At the very least, he wanted to divide the unified Mongol khanates into small pieces again according to ethnic, religious, demographic, and geographical divisions.
If he could, Zhang Wuji would think that a city would be a small country.
What he wants is for these people to go their own way and deviate from morality. Only in this way will they not become a threat to the Central Plains Dynasty.
As for whether they will be controlled by the Central Plains Dynasty or whether they will be vassals to him in the future, none of this matters. As long as they can't become a large-scale country, it is in Zhang Wuji's interests.
Although Zhang Wuji felt that it was a bit of a drag on the oil bottle, under the repeated insistence of the ruling lord, Pasha joined Zhang Wuji's team to go west. This girl is just like Xiao Zhao, and now she wants to wait for him by Zhang Wuji's side.
In the days that followed, everyone had a dull life.
However, along the way, I still saw many troops of the Chagatai Khanate driving back eastward one after another. After all, the army is stationed outside, and the food and salary are all supported by the rear.
If the rear cut off their food, they will be scattered immediately.
This is also the reason why in ancient wars, once the capital was captured by the enemy, the country would be in danger.
Without the capital and other cities to provide resources, the ancient armies would quickly crumble. It is no longer possible to form an effective defensive force.
And this time Mingjiao handled it very cleanly, the news of the capture of the capital was kept strictly secret, and the officials in the city were either killed, or turned against Zhang Wuji.
Everything was going according to Zhao Min's plan, and the ruling and Fan Yao recalled these troops in the name of the palace.
Then, when the troops returned, they immediately detained the generals who led the group.
Later, in the name of the royal palace, they were replaced with Mingjiao officers, thus receiving their army. For most grassroots soldiers, as long as they are given food and paid on time, it does not make much difference who they give their lives.
At least give Mingjiao a hard time, Mingjiao never withholds food and salary, and it is always paid on time.
Moreover, many soldiers did not bully their families after learning that the Ming army entered the city, but business as usual, which gave them no reason to refuse the "new boss".
Because he controlled the central power, then reorganized the army, and finally stationed in every city. Today's Chagatai Khanate is now considered to exist in name only, and has been completely annexed by Mingjiao.
If it weren't for the fact that the current foothold was unstable and it was easy to make enemies on all sides, attracting the attention of the Golden Horde and the Ilkhanate, the name of the Chagatai Khanate would have been abolished.
Zhang Wuji and his entourage were unimpeded on the westbound road, and after a long journey, they finally arrived at the destination of the trip.
One of the core cities of West Asia, it was once the capital of Khorezm "Yulong Jiechi".
Returning to her hometown again, Daisy sighed a little emotionally.
When she was born, the main altar of the Ming Sect had already moved to the vicinity of Yulong Jiechi, the old capital of Khorezm.
This is where she used to come when she was a child, with her sisters and parents. It carries so many memories of her.
Although time has passed, things are not people, but this Jade Dragon Jie Chicheng is as prosperous as in the past.
Deceise stood on the street, her eyes closed, feeling the long-lost Persian terroir.
And Zhang Wuji and his party were eating barbecue on the second floor of an inn at this time, drinking mellow grape wine.
Zhao Min was eating Persian-style barbecue while looking at Dai Qisi standing on the street.
Zhao Min swallowed the barbecue in his mouth, and then asked in Mongolian: "Brother Wuji, Aunt Dai has been standing there for almost half an hour, don't we really need to call her?" ”
Zhang Wuji also followed Zhao Min's example, using a delicate shaji knife to cut the roast mutton in front of him, and then put it in his mouth.
Zhang Wuji chewed a few times and swallowed it. He took a sip of grape wine with satisfaction, and then replied in Mongolian: "The dragon king is a Persian saint, this is the place where she grew up, she has not been back for a long time, and it is inevitable that she will touch the scene." ”
Listening to what they were talking about, Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help frowning.
Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhang Wuji sitting cross-legged, and the appearance of cutting meat with a knife and grasping it with his hands. Zhou Zhiruo said: "Since leaving Mali City, Brother Wuji has become more and more like a Mongolian. ”
Hearing Zhou Zhiruo's words, Zhang Wuji smiled: "This is natural. The incident in Mali City also reminded me that since we had changed our identities and came quietly. Then naturally it has to be like a little bit. Now, if I am asked to play the crown prince again, I don't need little Pasha to translate for me. I can understand it myself. ”
The woman in the yellow shirt also said at this time: "But Brother Wuji's qualifications are really strong. We started here after leaving Mali City, but it took only a month, and on the way, Mowgli actually learned a language and writing. Although there is a small county bishop who is good, but the qualifications of Wuji's younger brother are also rare in the world. ”
Yin Li also smiled at this time and said: "Sister Yang praises Brother Wuji so much, I'm afraid he is not going to be fluttering." ”
Zhang Wuji replied shamelessly: "This is natural, Sister Cai Wei is not often praised, since she praises me, then I must have something extraordinary, hahahahaha!" ”
Yang Buregret put aside the two plates of cut meat, and then held his chin and said, "Brother Wuji, Xiao Zhao and Xia Xia (Pasha's nickname) haven't come back yet, will there be any accidents?" ”
Zhang Wuji said: "Probably not, although Xiao Zhao is younger than everyone. But her martial arts are not bad, the best of the three of you. And Xiao Zhao is smart, so nothing should happen. Maybe it's because I have to inquire in detail, so it's delayed. ”
Zhou Zhiruo also said at this time: "This is also a matter of no choice. Brother Wuji and Zhao Min are from Middle-earth, and they are very conspicuous here. As for the few of us, not to mention the conspicuous appearances, we didn't know Persian or Mongolian at all, and we couldn't communicate with the local people. And the purple-shirted dragon king touched the scene again, and only Xiao Zhao and Xia Xia were the most suitable to inquire about the situation in terms of appearance and language. ”
Yang Buregret sighed and said, "Despite this, the two of them haven't come back for so long, and I'm still a little worried about them. ”
Zhang Wuji drank all the wine in the cup, and then said, "We have to believe in Xiao Zhao's ability. Since everyone is worried about them, then let's wait for another half an hour, and if they don't come back, then Minmin, and the dragon king will go to find them. ”
