When Yang Fan saw that the Oirat people had retreated, he did not stop his troops. Instead, he led the cavalry from the Jia Ding Regiment and Zhang Shize led the 1,500 cavalry from the British Duke's Palace, totaling 5,000 people, to pursue them.
But the Oirat people really didn’t want to fight.
They left behind Gushi Khan's nephew, the second-in-command of the Hoshuote people, and the next Oirat Khan-Eqirtu in history. They asked him to stay in Linhe City and lead 10,000 elite cavalry to break up the rear.
This man is the nephew of Gushi Khan and the next leader of the four Oirat tribes. Because the Heshuote people control the trade channels between Xinjiang and the mainland, they can hold the position of leader of the Oirat alliance for several generations.
Yang Fan was also somewhat curious about him. This man's life was also very interesting.
He is Galdan's father-in-law, and it was only after Galdan beat up his old father-in-law that he won the status of the first person in the Oirat Alliance. And Galdan's little wife came in a very disgraceful way. The eldest wife is Eqil
Tu's daughter and young wife are the granddaughter of Oqil Tu.
Ahai, the granddaughter of Oqiltu, was originally going to marry Cewan Alabutan, the son of Galdan's brother Sengge.
After Seng Ge was assassinated, Junggar was in chaos.
Sengge's wife, Galdan's sister-in-law Cewanzalem, went to the Snowy Holy Palace in person and brought Galdan back. According to the tradition of the grassland people, when the elder brother dies, the younger brother marries his sister-in-law.
Cewanzalem was the daughter of Oirat leader and Heshuote Khan Oqiltu. She was called Anu. After marrying Galdan, she was honored as Anukedun. Therefore, Oqiltu did
Galdan's cheap father-in-law.
Anu is very beautiful, with fair skin and a very tall figure. She is probably about the same height as Qin Liangyu, Fuhao. She is over 186 centimeters. In addition to her beauty and hot figure, she is also a female general comparable to Chorus Mandu Hesqin
.
Not only did she have a high level of force, but she also had military command skills. She was later killed on the battlefield by Kangxi's army.
Historical records record that during the Battle of Zhaomodo, Anu wore bronze armor, hung a bow and arrow from his waist, and held a spear. He led the elite Junggar cavalry to charge many times.
Anu's mount is also different. It is said to be "like a camel but not a camel". I don't know what kind of strange beast it is.
One of the reasons why she chose Galdan was that they had known each other since childhood, were childhood sweethearts, and had a good relationship. However, Eqirtu married him to the monk who succeeded the throne.
Galdan gave up the throne and also lost his first girlfriend.
Another reason is that Galdan is the most outstanding son of Batur Hutaiji, and his special status and outstanding talents can revitalize the Junggar tribe.
Huitaiji was originally going to pass the throne to him, but he declined and gave it to his elder brother Sengge. He became a monk himself and became a master.
For the sake of the overall situation of Junggar, Galdan finally returned to secular life and came back to inherit the Junggar tribe.
And Anu's father was the leader of the Oirat alliance, and he was also the largest and most powerful Keshote Khan in Mongolia, the desert. So even if others killed Mongolia, they still couldn't compete with Galdan.
Galdan returned to secular life thoroughly, and he soon let himself go.
After Galdan married his sister-in-law and sat on the throne of Junggar, he fell in love with his sister-in-law's niece Ahai and snatched her to be his little wife. Ahai was betrothed to Cewang Alabutan since he was a child, and the two of them also
They are childhood sweethearts and have a very good relationship.
In the 15th year of Kangxi's reign, she married her sister-in-law. In the 16th year of Kangxi's reign, he raided the Heshuote tribe and captured his father-in-law alive. By the way, he also took in the extremely charming Ahai who had disappeared. Naturally, Cewang Alabutan refused, and the two
There was a conflict. Galdan also blinded one eye of his nephew Tsewang Alabutan. The two became enemies.
Later, Cewang Alabutan and Kangxi joined forces to engage in Galdan. Galdan fought with Kangxi on the front line. Cewang Alabutan secretly attacked the Junggar tribe and stole their homes. As a result, Galdan finally lost the Khalkha Mongolia.
The three troops were still on the way to retreat. Galdan died of illness in the Acha Amutatai place by the Buyantu River in the Khovd area.
Khovd was a long strip of territory, probably encompassing both sides of today's Altai Mountains.
Historically, the Altai Mountains belonged to the Khalkha Mongols for a long time. Later, during the Republic of China, Xinjiang Governor Yang Zengxin led his troops and snatched it away on the eve of Outer Mongolia's separation from the Beiyang government.
That’s why today we can see the complete topography of Xinjiang with three mountains and two basins.
The Altai Mountains are so important. General Yang has made great contributions.
He guarded the border for decades, maintained the harmony of all ethnic groups, and was deeply loved by people of all ethnic groups. When he attended banquets and public events, he was always surrounded by imams of all ethnic groups.
Decades after his death, many elderly people of all ethnic groups still shed tears when talking about the old general.
Eqirtu led 10,000 elite troops to break up the rear, and encountered Yang Fan and Zhang Shize's 5,000 cavalry several times. They suffered heavy losses without the advantage of firearms.
The performance of the flintlock rifles equipped by Yang Fan's servants can reach the level of the British Brown Bess flintlock rifles during the First Crow War.
Moreover, Yang Fan also has a better breech-loading rifle, and has produced hundreds of thousands of them. It has only been two years since he considered changing to a flintlock rifle, and it has not been installed yet.
Whether it is range, accuracy, or rate of fire, it completely suppresses Oziltu's Central Asian matchlock gun.
Outside Linhe City, the two sides fought three battles, and Oqiltu only had 3,000 people left.
He was frightened out of his wits. From then on, Saya ran away, all the way into Alxa territory.
At this time, Alxa's main force had been completely lost in two dispatches. Both Heishui City and Juyanhaicheng surrendered.
Unable to stand still, Oqirtu ran all the way to Hami.
When Yang Fan's army arrived at Juyan City on the coast of Juyan Sea, they stopped their pursuit.
Juyanhai is a large lake in the desert, 380 kilometers north of Jiayuguan. It is an isolated oasis in the desert. Occupying this place will block the passage from the Western Region to the East along with the north and south of Jiayuguan.
If the army in the Western Regions wanted to go around, they could only take a long way around the Khalkha Mongolia, and then cross the Great Gobi and go south. This was impossible without the Mongols in the Desert conquering the three Khalkha tribes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yang Fan's goal has been achieved, and this war is over. The mission of the Beijing camp has been completed.
Juyan City has such a great reputation. The frontier poets of the Tang Dynasty wrote too many poems here. Yang Fan has always been fascinated by it. But after visiting this place in person, he found that Juyan City is just a small village.
.
Seeing Yang Fan's disappointment, Zhang Shize smiled and said: "This is not Jiayuguan or Yumenguan, how can you expect a great city here? Besides, the water in the Heihe River has been greatly reduced due to drought in the past two hundred years, and this oasis has also shrunk a lot.
It is no longer the grand scene of hundreds of miles of lakes and swamps with birds and animals everywhere during the Han and Tang Dynasties."
Juyanhai is the tail end lake of the Heihe River, the second largest inland river in my country. It was called Juyanze in the Han Dynasty and Juyanhai in the Tang Dynasty. It originates from the Heihe River deep in the Qilian Mountains.
After flowing through the three provinces of Qinghai, Gansu and Inner Mongolia for more than 800 kilometers, the Heihe River merges into two Gobi depressions on the northwest edge of the Badain Jaran Desert, forming two large lakes in the east and west, collectively known as the Juyan Sea. The Juyan Sea, like Lop Nur, is a
A peculiar wandering lake. Its position changes from east to west, from south to north, and its surface changes from time to time.
Looking at the dense grassland outside the city, beside the lake, Yang Fan couldn't help but chant:
"Outside the city of Juyan, there is a hunt for geniuses, and the mountains are burning with white grass and wildfires.
Driving horses when the clouds are clear at dusk, and shooting vultures on the plains in autumn.
Protecting the Qiang lieutenants, they rode in obstacles and defeated the generals who crossed the Liao Dynasty at night.
A jade target, a horn, a bow and a pearl to rein in the horse, the Han family will give Huo whoring and Yao."
Since ancient times, this place has been the front line of the melee with the grassland forces when the Central Plains dynasty was strong. In the 17th year of Hongwu, Song Sheng led his troops to capture Yijinai (the former site of Juyan City) and built the old city of Yijinai. Later, it was located in Suzhou.
Weilu Guards were set up in the middle of Yiji Nai (Juyanhai) Lake, Baichengzi Guards Qianhu Station, Weiyuan Guards Qianhu Station, and is connected to the old city of Yiji Nai.
After Zhu Zhanji came to power, this place was abandoned in the fifth year of Xuande's reign. It became the pastureland of the Turhut tribe of the Mongolian tribe in the Desert. The later Alxa people were Oara people, and they had the same origin as the Mongolian tribe in the Desert.
The Zhu Zhanji period was a period when the Ming Dynasty suffered a massive loss of territory.
The Hamiwei, Alxa, Snowy Area, Jiaozhi, Kalimantan Island Old Port Xuanweisi, most of Myanmar, Monan Mongolia, and the entire Heilongjiang Basin in the Western Region were all abandoned.
What Yang Fan is most distressed about is the loss of the entire Heilongjiang River Basin. It is a total of 3.05 million square kilometers. The area is even larger than the Yangtze River Basin of 50,000 square kilometers. The water volume is larger than the Pearl River Basin and second only to the Yangtze River Basin.
The biggest negative consequence of the abolition of Nuergandusi was that the development of minority groups in Northeast China was out of control. The slaves moved south from the Heilongjiang River Basin to southeastern Liaoning.
Zhang Shize looked at this majestic swamp and was filled with emotion. In the strong northwest wind, the tall grass fell over and over again. It was like the waves of the sea. It was lonely, a horse leaped into the air, and the eagles shot.
Bow, heaven and earth are all in my heart.
He turned to Yang Fan and said: "We led the Jingying camp to the west, marched thousands of miles, and fought hundreds of battles. We fought in the siege and field battles, and were invincible. Now that we are here, we have restored the homeland of the Hongwu Dynasty. However, the Jingying camp has been exhausted.
Without fighting strength, we can only stop here. Let’s report the victory to His Majesty. The soldiers have been homesick for a long time, and it’s time for the Beijing camp to go home.”
Yang Fan nodded, the 80,000-strong Beijing camp had suffered 40,000 casualties so far. It was time to return to the court.
The affairs in the northwest are over, and Yang Fan can only do so much for the Ming Dynasty. In the days to come, what he wants to do has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty.
After returning to the capital camp, he will unify Mongolia in Desert Mongolia, Monan Mongolia, Khalkha Mongolia, Buryat Mongolia, and Mongolia in Qinghai Haihai. He will build his new city in Ili. The railway will be built to Ili and even continue westward.
Crossing the Ural region and ending at Tsaritsyn.
On the ocean, he has accumulated a fleet of clippers, sails and warships for the coming year, and will also sail south to drive the Dutch and Spanish out of the Southeast Asian archipelago. He will monopolize trade in Southeast Asia and East Asia. He will also move the Ming Dynasty's excess population southward to
Southeast Asia and Australia. Migrate westward to Central Asia, and move northeastward to the Liaodong region.
A new era of going to Nanyang, taking the west entrance, and breaking into Guandong is about to come. In his opinion, the problem of the Ming Dynasty is that there are too many people and too little land. The land of the Ming Dynasty cannot support the increasing population. But there is too much land suitable for planting in the world.
As long as the conquests continue, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will not have too many people, but not enough people. If the extra population is gone, those gentry who snatch the land and the civil servants who make random apportionments will no longer be able to play. They will find that,
What they grabbed was worthless.
Because people vote with their feet and won’t play with you anymore.
If these places are not enough, there is America, where a few hundred acres of land for each household may be more than enough.
Yang Fan didn't have time to carry out any complicated reforms, so he directly clashed with the civil servants, nobles, clans, and gentry. He just cut the firewood and removed the landless people. He let the gentry sit on their tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and cry.
Well. Because they can't find anyone to farm.
More than a hundred years have passed since the Age of Discovery, and Yang Fan is extremely anxious. Missing such a historical opportunity will be an eternal regret and regret.
"The wind has picked up, let's go back to the city."
Volume 4, The north wind is miserable, the chaotic tooth flag ends
