Chapter 960 Silk Road
Three days later, Hakui contacted four teams of people, and fifty-two comrades who successfully intervened into the West Mongolian nomadic army and were organized into the same 10,000 team. This 10,000 team is east of Hami City, Daming.
Suzhou is composed of nomadic tribes within a radius of thousands of miles west. There are five such 10,000 teams, and five 10,000 teams are 50,000 light cavalry, which can be considered as strong soldiers and horses.
Let’s talk about the two hundred years of disputes between the Western Regions, Gansu, Hami, and Turpan.
When the Ming Dynasty was founding, the power was strong. In the 13th year of Hongwu, he expeditioned Hami to the west, and frightened the Hami King Wunasili to surrender. As soon as the Ming army retreated, the Hami King revealed his nature and rebelled again. The Ming Emperor was furious.
He destroyed the country and occupied the land of Hami and Turpan in military affairs. By the time of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty strengthened its control over Hami, and appointed Hami King Anketemur as King Zhongshun, and set up Hami Guards.
Emperor Yongle was very talented and set up seven wards west of Jiayuguan. Later, every Hami king was enthroned by the Ming Dynasty court.
The Ming Dynasty actually controlled this territory.
How did such a large piece of land be lost? This matter must be investigated before Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty, Hongzhi, and Ma Wensheng, a famous minister of the Minister of War. This idiot believed that the Western Regions posed no threat to the Ming Dynasty and should adopt a policy of appeasement. Therefore, the situation in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty
Then it deteriorated sharply. After losing Hami, the emperor was furious. Ma Wensheng sent his confidant Minister of War Zhang Hai to quell the rebellion.
However, Zhang Hai was Ma Wensheng's confidant. The army did nothing to do when they arrived at Jiayuguan and retreated.
The angry good-looking man Emperor Xiaozong dismissed this fool Wang Hai and was imprisoned. However, with the fool like Ma Wensheng, the Ming Dynasty gradually lost control of the northwest. Later, Emperor Wuzong Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty wanted to send troops to recover Hami, but was pulled back by a group of scholars in the court.
, but he was unable to do it for a long time. Therefore, starting from Ma Wensheng during the Hongzhi period, the appeasement policy implemented by the Ming Dynasty in the northwest caused a disaster. He completely lost control of the Western Regions decades ago and had to defend Gansu.
You have to look at the Ming Dynasty in the opposite direction. The so-called Hongzhi Revival, with many famous officials emerging, is purely nonsense.
Emperor Xiaozong was peaceful and bullied. The so-called famous ministers of the prosperous era who were short-sighted were arrogant, stepped back, and cedeed the land with great efforts. Malacca was lost during the Hongzhi period. The Hami area, a thousand miles east of the Tianshan Mountains, was also during the Hongzhi period.
What is lost is not defeated, but it is still the moral gentlemen and famous ministers who have been voluntarily given up. It is a huge territory of more than a thousand miles. If you say no, you don’t want it. How proud it is.
Deep in Hakui, he was surprised to find that there were quite a few people in the Mongolian army who could speak Chinese, and there was a team of 10,000 people composed of Suzhou people. This was caused by the appeasement policy during the Hongzhi period.
The consequence is that if you don’t want any territory west of Suzhou for more than a thousand miles, you will naturally be occupied by the Mongols. Would you be polite to you? They have the same clan and the same origin.
April in the eleventh year of Chongzhen.
The various Western Mongolian troops gathered 15 10,000 teams in the Hami area and advanced eastward. At this time, Sun Chuanting had moved his commander camp from Xining to Jiayuguan, with 150,000 Western Mongolian coalition forces and a total of more than 100,000 Ming troops.
The main force launched a decisive battle on the front line that was more than 1,000 miles west of Jiayuguan and east of Tianshan.
Inside Jiayuguan, Suzhou Guard.
Sun Chuanting walked into the official hall of the garrison, and his personal soldiers pushed open the dilapidated door. Huh, the sensational dust fell.
Suzhou officials apologized in embarrassment: "Sun Shuai came suddenly, and the officials did not know that Sun Shuai was coming, so they were ashamed."
Sun Chuanting walked into the official hall without hesitation. The personal soldiers hurriedly wiped the ashes on the chair with their sleeves, and asked Sun Shuai to sit down. Sun Chuanting lifted his official robe and sat on the Grand Master's chair. When he raised his eyelids, he saw the spider webs densely covered with beams.
, It was a moment of silence, and the Suzhou Guards were already so dilapidated. You can imagine how bad Jiayuguan was. After years of disrepair, is this the famous Silk Road?
With a sigh, Sun Chuanting, as a second-class Jinshi and a leader in the Ming Dynasty scholar, felt ashamed.
Is this the Western Regions during the Han Dynasty, Liangzhou during the Three Kingdoms, and Yizhou during the Tang Dynasty?
This is the famous Silk Road. When it falls into the hands of the moral gentlemen of the Ming Dynasty, it will be ruined like this. How can you not be ashamed and not be red on your face? With a long sigh, you can only recruit people from Xining.
Intensify the repair of the abandoned defensive facilities in Jiayuguan. After spending the night in Suzhou Guards, Sun Chuanting patrolled the Jiayuguan defense line without stopping, looking at the various abandoned defensive facilities and empty armory, his face was burning.
Lord Sun was standing on the towering Jiayu Pass in a daze, and his personal soldiers attracted several spies.
Three military intelligence agents covered their faces with a headscarf and handed over a bag of top-secret information to Sun Chuanting, and then left quietly. Sun Chuanting took out a piece of rough kraft paper, saw the dried blood on it, and felt respect in his heart.
It’s hard to get a piece of kraft paper the size of a palm.
With the infiltration and secret reports from the Military Information Department, the movements of the Mongolian army are all at their control.
Sun Chuanting cheered up and sent an order to Cao Wenzhao on the front line that there was no need to fight in the front line, and to retreat, the Mongolian army could be placed in front of Jiayuguan and fight against it with a decisive battle with the Xiongguan. Is it not necessary to put such a Xiongguan?
It needs to be used.
On the front line, the Ming army's light cavalry had already encountered the Mongols' reconnaissance cavalry and fierce battle broke out.
Sun Chuanting was in Jiayuguan, and dispatched troops everywhere, determined to train with 30,000 to 50,000 regiments. The people were strong, and local soldiers were defending Jiayuguan, while the cavalry army wandered around the periphery, looking for an opportunity to annihilate the Simongos' army outside Jiayuguan, and then they could stand up in this battle.
Invincible. At the command of Lord Sun, the young and strong Ming Dynasty who were advancing westward mobilized the troops and gathered inside and outside Jiayuguan on horseback with military supplies.
Sun Chuanting was not idle either. While recruiting people to repair Jiayuguan, he also investigated spies in Gansu.
The Ming Military Information Department sent a large number of detailed works and secret spies to the Western Regions. However, there were more spies from the Mongolians inside and outside Jiayuguan. These spies were not sent by the Mongolian Taiji people, but the consequences of the long-term appeasement policy, which led to the Gansu land everywhere.
They are all descendants of Mongolians with swaying positions. Some of these Mongolian descendants can be easily identified, while others look exactly like those of the Ming people.
The Mongolians grazed, and the people of the Ming Dynasty also grazed. Do you know if it was a detailed work?
Sun Chuanting, this is wiping his seniors' butts, but he also made a ruthless move. Whenever you encounter grazing in the wild, you will be arrested and put in prison. Do you want to be yelling at Daming?
, arrest it and then quit it. If you can't make it clear, then don't blame me for being so bad. Sun Chuanting's attitude determined the Ming army's attitude in the northwest. This time, Lord Sun vowed to fight to the west of Tianshan Mountain in his heart to achieve success
The unprecedented achievements of our predecessors can solve the Northwest problem once and for all.
