"You can share more land. For example, if you originally have ten acres of land at home, you will be given one hundred acres when you arrive in Liaodong. The exchange rate is one to ten. If you don't have land, you will be given fifty acres of land if you register!"

Liu Bowen's thinking was the fastest, and both Zhu Han and Li Shanchang agreed.

"You can also exempt the taxes for the first three years." Li Shanchang also thought of a way to benefit the people.

Zhu Han also thought about something, "There are still many barbaric tribes in the local area, such as the remnants of the savage Jurchens in the mountains and forests of the Northeast. These troops were sent to clean up first, control them all, and directly make them slaves of the government. Let them

To serve the Han people who migrated there."

"Another one is that we need to encourage the people who migrated there to have children. After all, the Liaodong and Western Xinjiang areas are still very large. The larger the population of Han people, the more helpful it is for us to control the border. Each Han man who migrated there can get a

The official compensation to Korean women or Japanese women will solve the problem of singles as much as possible!"

"Your Highness, Holy Ming!"

Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen said quickly.

At this time, Zhu Han and others felt that after the Mongols were driven away, the borderland was already peaceful. The only thing left to do was to find ways to enrich the northeastern and northwest borderlands.

They had no idea that Yinli City, an important border town in the northwest, was already under heavy siege.

The Western Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty was also the Xinjiang of later generations.

Tens of thousands of troops from the Western Chagatai Khanate, led by the lame Timur, suddenly invaded the Ming Dynasty and surrounded Yinli City, an important town in Western Xinjiang.

The Ming army led by Xu Da had less than 5,000 defensive troops. Facing an enemy that was ten times their size, many local people and merchants fell into panic.

While Xu Da sent his own soldiers to the rear to mobilize reinforcements, he calmly prepared for defense in Yinli City.

Since Wang Baobao led the Mongolian and Yuan armies to migrate to the west, local Muslim forces in the river such as Timur the Lame took the opportunity to revive.

They quickly filled the vacancy left by Meng Yuan's departure, and became increasingly emboldened, launching undeclared sneak attacks into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

"As long as we capture Yinli City, we can move eastward to capture Yilibali and gain the entire territory of Chagatai!" Timur, the lame man, looked at the surrounded Yinli City with a proud smile on his face.

Now that our army is ten times larger than the Ming army, we can easily capture Yinli City.

but.

There is a lot of wealth and food in Yinli City, if we can persuade him to surrender.

Then all these would become spoils of war, which would immediately solve the logistical supply problem for the lame Timur.

In order to achieve this goal, the lame Timur sent his brother Hassan to persuade the Ming army to surrender obediently.

When Hassan arrived outside Yinli City proudly, protected by the shields of several soldiers, the Ming army at the top of the city had already aimed its artillery at him.

"You are a barbarian who doesn't know how high the sky is!"

Xu Da stood at the top of the city, staring disdainfully at the general of Western Chagatai who was yelling outside the city.

Then he picked up the torch and lit it at the cannon's fire door.

boom!

There was a loud noise.

A solid artillery bullet sprayed out!

Hassan, who was fifty steps away, had no idea that the Ming army would open fire on him for trying to persuade him to surrender, and he was completely unprepared.

In an instant, Hassan and the guards around him fell to the ground with blood gushing out.

Tamerlane, the commander of Western Chagatai, could not believe his eyes.

"Hassan!"

Timur felt a burst of anger rushing straight to his forehead and felt dizzy.

"My lord, my lord!"

"Master Taishi!"

Timur fell off his horse with a thud, and the surrounding generals of Western Chagatai rushed up to help him.

Fortunately, Timur was as strong as an ox and was not injured even after falling from his horse.

However, the anger in his heart could not be discharged.

"My brother, Hassan!"

Timur said harshly.

"Come here, give me artillery to attack the city and send people to take back Hassan!"

Artillery has been mobilized from West Chagatai outside the city.

Dozens of artillery pieces, large and small, all pointed at the head of Yinli City.

Yin Li's defenders and the young men were frightened again.

The number of artillery pieces in West Chagatai was much greater than theirs. The Ming army only had ten artillery pieces.

"Hmph, don't be afraid, Ma Zilu will take aim and hit me hard!" Xu Da ordered.

Ma Zilu was an artillery officer in Xu Da's army. He graduated from the Daming Artillery Military Academy and was an elite member of the army that Zhu Han personally praised.

The artillery position at West Chagatai outside the city is very close to the city wall, which shows that their firing range is not far enough and they are basically covered by the Ming army's artillery range.

Although the artillery of the Ming army was smaller in caliber, its accuracy and range were far superior to those of Xichagatai.

"Yes, sir!" Ma Zilu immediately accepted the order excitedly and left.

The artillery of the Ming army was not only more accurate and had a longer range, but it was also lighter and could move quickly on top of the city under the pull of manpower.

The Western Chagatai artillery outside the city had not yet set up its emplacement, but the Ming army artillery at the top of the city was already ready to fire.

Ma Zilu ran over and said.

"Sir, the artillery is ready!"

Xu Da smiled slightly and said, "Let's light the fire."

Boom boom!

boom!

At this time, Timur, the commander-in-chief of the Western Chagatai Army outside the city, was full of confidence in Western Chagatai, which was deploying artillery.

"The artillery that I have mobilized this time is the best of all the heavy artillery in the river. If we capture Yinli this time, we will definitely massacre the city and avenge my brother!"

Hassan's body had been snatched back by the desperate charge of the elite Western Chagatai cavalry.

When other Western Chagatai generals heard Timur's words, they all expressed their agreement.

suddenly.

The sound of cannons ringing above Yin Licheng interrupted these people's speech.

Timur and others were shocked.

However, before they had time to react, they saw several streaks of white smoke flying over Yin Licheng's head.

boom!

Bursts of loud noises rang out from the artillery position in West Chagatai.

ah!

ah!!

The screams spread immediately.

An artillery piece weighing more than a thousand kilograms in Xichagatai was knocked over on the spot.

Several Western Chagatai gunners had no time to dodge and were smashed into pieces of flesh and blood.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There was a huge shock on the West Chagatai position.

"How is this going!"

Timur couldn't believe his eyes.

According to Timur's experience in fighting the Mongols, it is impossible for ordinary artillery to be so accurate!

After just a few shots, seven or eight artillery pieces were knocked over by the Ming army's artillery.

"How come it's so accurate?!" Timur was shocked and angry.

The Western Chagatai cavalry had just made a desperate charge to snatch Hassan's body back. They were preparing to fire a thousand artillery salvos to give Yin Li's rebels some color.

But I never thought that the Ming army would be the first to attack!

"Sir, the thief must be lucky!"

A Western Chagatai general said next to him.

"Yes, sir, as long as we speed up a little bit, we will be able to make the Ming army unable to fight back."

The other generals of Western Chagatai also said one after another.

The artillery they brought this time included almost all the elite artillery in Western Chagatai.
