The control of the Ming Dynasty in the southern province and the northern part of the country, the perennial large-scale army patrol, the northernmost Wara in history, which split out of the ghost power Red Khan, invaded Hami and was wiped out by the Ming Dynasty, although there was no more Zhu Di's five northern expeditions, but Warat has also been defeated.

Although Warat existed in name only, and was in fact divided, some tribes left the northern part of the earth and migrated to the province of Yili.

The area of Yili is very large.

It is so large that there are no man's lands all over the place, and even the actual control area of the Ming Dynasty in Yili is only the city built along the perimeter of the post road, those areas with fertile land.

Some tribes settled in the western part of the province, which brought more complicated situations to the local area, resulting in great local chaos, and there were many tribes, which were difficult to distinguish even the local government.

According to the division of the Ming court, Almaty, Karakol and other large areas of land that were originally controlled in the Timurid Khanate were all included in the province of Yili Li, all the way to Andijan, as the name suggests, the largest local trade area, this place is the boundary, the east belongs to the province of Yili, and the west belongs to Samarkand.

Andijan was also the dividing line between Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan in later generations.

Such a division shows that the Ming court expected to treat Yili Province as the ecological environment of the interior, and use Samarkand as a line of defense to ensure local stability.

But the area is too large, whether it is the province of Yilijiang or the Samarkand region.

Originally, most of the population of Yili was concentrated in the eastern region, and the local leaders of Turpan were finally subdued by the Ming army, and many tribes followed the footsteps of the Ming army and followed the Ming army's westward expedition and obtained new land.

Through force and temptation, Yili stabilized the eastern part of Lihang Province.

The distance from Weilumu to Yili is 1,400 miles, accommodating 70% of the local population, and undertaking the cotton cultivation industry in the Hami area, as well as the development of animal husbandry and agriculture.

Then Yili put the distance of nearly 3,000 miles from Licheng to Andijan, and the governance of the Ming Dynasty in the local area was not completely established, and only the local people knew the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

Huo Zhen was furious, and took five hundred Ming cavalry to retaliate everywhere.

"Powerful Huozhen, why are you so angry?"

Darzi led the warriors of the tribe to look at Huo Zhen vigilantly, and asked with a flattering face.

"The Land of the Harvest has been attacked."

Huo Zhen said with anger suppressed.

"Who is so bold as to dare to offend you."

Darzi was shocked.

Huo Zhen stared at Darzi's appearance, wanting to judge the other party's heart.

There are less than a thousand people in hand.

Huo Zhen is not afraid of a tough battle with others, what he is most afraid of is a sneak attack, with the environment of Almaty, an army of a thousand people, it is impossible to prevent it.

Daming only has Daming nationality.

In the Senan Dusi and Saibei regions, a large number of people have obtained the Ming nationality over the years, that is, the Ming people, and only learn Confucian culture, even if the Confucian culture often changes.

In history, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Confucianism did not pay attention to the saying that the people were the second to the noble society and the second to the king.

If you evaluate it from a good point of view.

A Ming dynasty that has just been established by the flames of war needs stability.

The prerequisite for development is stability.

At the beginning of the middle of the Ming Dynasty, with the development of the economy, all kinds of new ideas began to appear, such as Wang Yangming's idea that even what Confucius said, not all of which could be recognized, and finally returned to the idea that the people are the second to the noble society and the second to the king.

In a nutshell.

When it comes to Huo Qu's disease, he will be a hero praised by all Ming people.

"Dar Thiteiji."

Huo Zhen called the other party's name, and didn't respect the other party very much, and said coldly: "His Majesty the Emperor agreed that your tribe would graze and cultivate here, but you also have to contribute to the Ming Dynasty and become the barrier of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"So whether you participate or not, it's your dereliction of duty, and I want to punish you."

"Are you convinced?"

Darzitaiji's face was red and white for a while, and he stopped talking.

The warriors behind him also moved.

"Yes."

Darzi stopped the people of the tribe and accepted the punishment of the fire zhen.

In front of everyone, Huo Zhen beat Darzi ten horsewhips, and took away five hundred sheep, one hundred cattle, and fifty horses from the tribe, and hated the chiefs of the tribe.

The herdsmen did not have their own property, and the property taken by the Ming Dynasty was shared by the leaders.

Darzi's tribe has tens of thousands of tents.

Distributed in the Isaakul region, it is the largest tribe in the region, although these losses are not small, but Darzi can bear them, and they will not break their muscles and bones, so Darzi endured his anger.

Huo Zhen walked around the large tribes around Almaty.

Each tribe said that they didn't know the enemy, and Huo Zhen punished them together, and after returning to the original point, he still didn't find out the identity of the murderer, and Huo Zhen didn't give up, and once again came to the pastoral area where Darzi was.

"You all say you don't know who the murderer is, and I don't care if you really don't know, or if you don't know, I just tell you that Daming will never let the murderer go."

Huo Zhen said seriously, "Since I can't ask, then I'll keep asking until someone among you says it." ”

This time it's a plus.

Twenty whips, a thousand sheep, two hundred oxen, and a hundred horses.

Twenty horse whips, although the injury to the north has not been good, but gritting his teeth, Darzi thinks that he can bear it, but he has doubled the supplies, Darzi is not unable to supply, but Darzi does not dare to gamble.

"General Huo Zhen."

Darzi was not as respectful as before, and defended: "Our tribe has always been respectful to Da Ming, but we really don't know where the people who attacked your department came from, they must not have passed through us, otherwise we would have reported the slightest news to your department." ”

"I don't care."

Huo Zhen said hatefully.

It is not his habit to reason, and speaking with a knife is his specialty.

Darzi thought for a long time, Huo Zhen didn't urge him, the Ming army won a hundred battles, even if he only brought five hundred people this time, he was not afraid that the Darqi tribe would dare to resist.

Compared to the kingdoms that built cities, these tribes are no longer in the eyes of Huozhen.

The five hundred Ming cavalry were all veterans.

They had grenades ready, and their self-generated three-eyed firearms had been loaded with gunpowder and buckshot.

Over the years, the tactics of the Ming cavalry have not changed much, they are still the same, whether they are old or not, they are easy to use, and it is really a bit of a bully to fight such a tribe.

In particular, the three-eyed fire bolt has been changed from a fire rope to a flint, and even the effort to light the fire rope in advance is saved.

However, unlike many people's impressions, misled by later film and television dramas, in fact, the fire rope is not temporarily lit, it is a special fire rope soaked in a special potion, which can burn slowly for half an hour.

Good quality arquebuses can be used continuously, and only those that are not up to par will be in the medicine room, because the impact at the moment of ignition of gunpowder extinguishes the fire rope, causing the musket to lose its effect.

Over the years, the Ming army has fought many wars and fought prestige.

Darzi, who had a fierce conflict in his heart, finally accepted Huozhen's punishment and did not choose to resist because of humiliation.

So Huo Zhen went to the next tribe.

After gathering information, the spearhead was pointed at the Saryozek region north of the Ili River, unlike in the south, there were more tribes in the north, and there were three tribes that dared to attack, and had strength.

Huo Zhen gathered 800 cavalry and no longer asked who it was.

Since you have figured out the direction of the enemy, then kill all the tribes in this direction that have the strength to sneak attack.

With such a movement, it is impossible for the local area to be without rumors, but no one reported to Daming, indicating that they are all accomplices, since they are accomplices, they are enemies, and what evidence is needed in the face of enemies.

Huo Zhen didn't leak the news, and he didn't give others time to react, and when people thought Huo Zhen would continue to investigate, Huo Zhen attacked.

The unsuspecting tribe suffered a great defeat.

When Zhang Fu arrived, he saw the devastated area of Saryozek.

Zhang Fu looked at the place where people and animals were not left, and asked curiously, "Isn't there a wheel rule here?" Why is there no one left. ”

Huo Zhen pointed to the wheels that had fallen to the ground.

The wheels lie flat on the wasteland.

Zhang Fu understood, grinned speechlessly, and slammed Huozhen's chest hard, "You're really messy." ”

"The emperor will arrive in about half a month, and the last general is not willing to have trouble, and there can be no threat." Huo Zhen said indifferently.

Zhang Fu nodded.

When the emperor was still King Yan, he liked Huo Zhen very much.

If it is really about the relationship, he is not as good as Huo Zhen, but he is more valued by His Royal Highness the Prince, if it was not for the relationship between their father and son, they were still suppressed by the Beiping system.

The earliest label on their father and son is the old prince lineage, and when the old prince was alive, the imperial court planted a nail in Beiping.

But that's not the case anymore.

Zhang Fu has become the governor of one side, and Huo Zhen is still a general.

It is not because of the emperor and the crown prince, but because Zhang Fu is indeed talented, whether it is in Jiaozhi or Samarkand, not only does he have a hand in commanding the overall situation, but his ability to stabilize the place is also outstanding.

Together with his father, the two fathers and sons became a beautiful conversation in the army.

"Have you cleaned up the enemy?"

Huo Zhen shook his head regretfully.

"Ran some."

"Then you still don't chase it?"

Zhang Fu tilted his head and glanced at Huo Zhen with contempt, Huo Zhen understood what Zhang Fu meant, and without saying a word, he brought the eight hundred soldiers of his own headquarters, as well as the 1,200 cavalry divided by Zhang Fu, to make up for the number of two thousand.

Huo Zhen led a battalion of cavalry to the north and pursued a full 2,600 miles, crossing Lake Balkhash, and any force that took in Azhan Khan became the target of Huo Zhen's attack.

Finally, in the Astana region, he fought with the famous local cavalry.

Huo Zhen defeated the 8,000 local cavalry with 2,000 cavalry, and for the first time, people saw grenades, and also saw self-generated three-eyed firearms.

Because the pursuit was too long, Huo Zhen ordered the destruction of the three Baizi Lianzhu cannons very early.

However, it did not have an impact.

"Boom."

Gunpowder played on the land.

Gunpowder is no stranger, it was introduced to Central Asia by the Mongols more than 100 years ago, then brought to Spain by the Arabs, learned by the French, and finally spread throughout Europe.

There were also gunpowder and muskets in the land of Kipchak, but not here.

The two thousand cavalry were divided into squads, each team was divided into three rows, the front row used its own three-eyed firearms, and after the throwing distance was reached, the cavalry in the second row threw grenades.

The speed of the cavalry on both sides was fast.

Such a tactic requires speed, and in the shortest possible time, the cavalry of the second platoon quickly threw grenades, and the Ming cavalry often trained, so there was no delay.

In a split second.

The camp of the opposing cavalry was blown up on their backs, especially the unaccustomed war horses lost control.

On the other hand, the cavalry team of the Ming Dynasty, taking advantage of the chaos of the other party, stepped forward to slaughter without hesitation, and the horsemanship was skillful, like scraping, scraping off the periphery of the opponent's cavalry layer by layer.

If you look at it from the sky, it looks like a large-scale performance.

However, such a performance is not visible to ordinary people.

Maybe when the camera appears one day, it will be recorded, so that the people will be shocked to see it, and then they will get used to it after watching too much, and no longer take it seriously.

The most famous cavalry in the region were powerless in the face of the Ming attack, but Azhan Khan and his tribal cavalry, who fled all the way north, were prepared, and their horses were not affected too much, but were more difficult than the famous local cavalry.

Azhan Khan was no ordinary chieftain.

From Warat.

The sweep of tens of thousands of cavalry in the Senan area has been held for a long time, and no force can resist, and the Saibei area is too poor, and moving west has become the choice of most people.

If history had not changed, Zhu Di's five northern expeditions would have also caused such results.

The difference is that some leaders invaded the Qinghai area with their tribes, such as the predecessor of the Dzungar Empire, which was partially split from the Warat that was defeated by the Ming Dynasty in the early stage.

Because Russia has not yet risen, these tribes still have "boundless" strategic space to roam.

However, the expansion of the Ming Dynasty greatly compressed their footsteps from the east and retreated even further.

Seeing that the opportunity was wrong, Azhan Khan still wanted to escape.

It's an endurance race.

The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty endured fatigue and finally won over Azhan Khan, because Azhan Khan's men and horses could not run.

"If you insist, I'll probably have to quit."

Huo Zhen said proudly.

The captured Azhan Khan lowered his head.

Huo Zhen smiled: "After the last war, we didn't have much ammunition left, and we had already considered withdrawing our troops. ”

"Ben Khan's warriors don't have enough to eat, and Ben Khan's horses also need fodder, otherwise Ben Khan won't be defeated." Azhan Khan raised his head and said unconvinced.

"Huh."

Huo Zhen no longer bothered the other party.

When Huo Zhen escorted Azhan Khan back to Almaty, Zhu Di had already left Almaty and arrived in the city of Samarkand.

A grand banquet was held in the area.

Kings of all sizes have long been notified by the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, either in person, or send princes to participate in the welcome of the Ming Emperor, and the surrounding envoys must come in person.

Zhu Di's face was emotional.

Looking at Samarkand, which has been away for several years, through the efforts of the Han people, the water conservancy and irrigation facilities that have risen here, and the pumping stations by the major lakes have brought water into the ditches and irrigated the fields through the ditches, although they are not as prosperous as the mainland, but compared with the first time they came to Samarkand, they have undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Sure enough, development is king, and my son has great wisdom."

Zhu Di was tens of thousands of miles away, and finally praised Zhu Gaochi.

He didn't want to boast about it in the capital.

The prestige of his son is already too high, so high that Zhu Di is a little incredible.
