The capital of the Turpan Khanate is called Anlecheng. It is located in the eastern part of the Tianshan Mountains. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides. A considerable area of ​​the area is even lower than sea level, so it is called the Turpan Basin. Turpan is a typical warm temperate continental desert climate with sufficient sunshine and strong winds, but the temperature is high. The temperature is more than 35 degrees Celsius throughout the year. It is simply a big stove. No, it should be said that a big hot pot is more appropriate, because it is a basin, and from a bird's eye view of the sky, it is clearly a big iron pot.

The predecessor of the Turpan region was the Cheshi Kingdom. During the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, Genghis Khan, the Emperor Taizu of Yuan Dynasty, divided his sons into possession, and the Turpan region became the territory of the Chagatai Khanate, and then the current East Chagatai Khanate - Turpan was found.

The current Khan of the Turpan Khanate is Mansuer. As mentioned earlier, Mansuer is a typical war madman who believes in the Islemma. During his reign, he launched several "holy wars" against the Ming Dynasty and gradually annexed the Seven Guards of the Ming Dynasty.

What are the Seven Guards of Guanxi?

The so-called Guanxi Seven Guards refer to the seven garrisons established by Chengzu Zhu Di to the west of Jiayuguan (including northwest of Gansu, northern Qinghai, and eastern Xinjiang). Because the commanders of these seven garrisons are all surrendered Mongolian nobles, they are also called the Seven Guards of Mongolia, including: Anding Wei, Aduan Wei, Qu Xianwei, Handong Wei, Shazhou Wei, Chijin Mongolia and Hami Wei.

Starting from the Hongzhi period, Turpan had the idea of ​​the Seven Guards of the Ming Dynasty. Until the third year of Jiajing, when Xu Jin killed all directions on the southeast coast, all the Seven Guards of the Ming Dynasty had fallen into the hands of Turpan.

However, Man Suer was obviously not satisfied with this and further invaded Jiayuguan. His troops pointed directly at Suzhou and Ganzhou, and kept sending troops to the Ming Dynasty to harass and loot. He even captured Jiayuguan some time ago and almost captured Suzhou. Fortunately, Xie Sanqian and Pei Laopi met with each other and led their troops to retreat the Turpan army and relieved the danger of Suzhou.

At this moment, in the palace of Anle City, Turpan, Mansuer Khan was sitting on the Han seat with a gloomy face. Below was a group of civil and military ministers. A man in front of the Han seat was tied up and knelt on the side of him with fear to beg for mercy.

The tied man named Yalan, about forty years old, was a general under Mansuerkhan. Not long ago, he led his troops to capture Jiayuguan. However, people's calculations were not as good as God's calculations. Yalan could have made great contributions, but unfortunately he met Xie Sanliang and the old pixie. In the end, not only did he not get much benefit, but he also lost all the troops and the siege equipment, including three cannons.

It was because of the defeat that Man Suer Sweat and was furious that he cut off Yalan's position and ordered someone to tie him up to question him.

"Yalan, Ben Khan handed over the most elite cavalry to you and the best siege equipment. But as for you, if you can't take Suzhou, you're even defeated and lost all Ben Khan's siege equipment. It's useless, how can you forgive you?" Man Suer scolded him in anger. The civil and military officials in the hall were silent, and no one dared to plead for Yalan.

Yalan's face was ashes and said tremblingly: "Dear Khan, my subordinates deserve to die, but I don't know where the Ming army came from. My subordinates are attacking Suzhou City with all their might. They were suddenly attacking the Ming army from behind, and they were defeated in a hurry. Please give me another chance, so my subordinates will definitely be able to atone for their sins."

Man Suer said in a cold voice: "No need, Ben Khan does not need a loser, even if he fails once, but, in the opinion of you who have made many contributions to Ben Khan, Ben Khan can spare your life and will be demoted to the centurion from now on and take him down!"

With a wave of Man Suer's hand, Yalan was taken out of the hall by soldiers.

Man Suer looked at another general in the hall with a expressionless face and said indifferently: "Huli will accept us, and you will be the one who will take over Yalan from now on."

The general named Hulina was about 30 years old. He had deep eyes and high noses, long hands and long legs, and his eyes were as sinister as an eagle. He saw him come out to take a tribute to caress his chest and shouted: "Sir, please obey the order."

Man Suer nodded and said, "Go and find out the origin of the Ming army as soon as possible. Ben Khan wants the head of the general to pay tribute to the dead warriors under Ben Khan."

"Yes, I will definitely make the Sweat come true!" Hu Lina, we thrust our chest with our right fist with confidence, then turned around and strode away.

At this time, an old man who looked like a civil official came out. The man was named Abra, who was a think tank and literary courage of Mansuer. He saw him stroking his chest to Mansuer on the seat, and then said, "Dear Khan, Altan, the Tatar Khan, came to surrender a few days ago. Should you meet him? Maybe he knows the origin of the Ming army."

Speaking of which, after Altan escaped that day, he led only a dozen personal soldiers to flee south, and finally escaped into Turpan's territory, entered Hami City, and revealed his identity and purpose to the local officials. He was then sent to Anle City, the capital of Turpan.

If it were Altan, Mansuer might have welcomed him warmly, but now Altan is just a loser. He wants no money, no soldiers, and Mansuer can't be interested in meeting him. In addition, he suffered a defeat in front of him, Mansuer is even more indifferent to Altan.

However, at this time, Abra mentioned Altan and reminded Mansuer. He nodded and said, "Take Altan to see Ben Khan."

Soon, Altan was taken to the side hall where Mansuer usually met guests, and waited uneasy for Mansuer's reception.

It is estimated that Man Suer was deliberately trying to hang Altan. The latter waited in the side hall for half an hour, but Man Suer still did not show up, but drank a lot of inferior tea.

well!

Altan couldn't help but sigh, thinking that Altan was once a powerful figure, but now he ended up like a loser. He was living under someone else's roof and was angry everywhere. However, "the man is poor and the horse is thin and the hair is long." In order to save his life, he could only swallow his anger for three meals and one night.

Just as Altan was complaining and Gu Ying was heartbroken, Man Suer finally appeared. He opened his hands and said enthusiastically: "Sorry, Ben Khan is busy with government affairs, so he has been waiting for Brother Altan for a long time."

Altan quickly stood up, stroking his chest and said, "Altan gave Mansuerhan greeting."

Man Suer smiled and gave Altan a strong hug, saying, "Brother Altan doesn't have to be too polite, please sit down."

The two of them sat down again, exchanged greetings with each other for a few words, and Man Suer pretended to be surprised: "Why did Brother Altan fall into this field today?"

Altan sighed and smiled bitterly: "Altan was not lucky, so he laughed at Mansuerhan. Now he was chased by the Ming army and was desperate, so he had to come and join Mansuerhan you!"

A look of contempt flashed in Mansuer's eyes, but he asked in confusion: "Brother Altan is the Great Tatar Khan. His troops are strong and powerful. Why is he unable to defeat the Ming army? According to Ben Khan's view, the Ming army's combat power is not worth a smile, it is just a group of lambs protected by high walls."

Altan was not angry, and now he had no capital to be angry. He said seriously: "Mansuer Khan doesn't know anything. The Ming army is now different from the past. Not only is the firearms excellent, but the combat power is also strong, which is no less than the Ming army at the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Especially the commander Xu Jin, who used troops like a god, was known as Xu Changsheng. He has experienced many battles and has never been defeated yet. I am really no match."

Man Suer curled his lips disapprovingly, thinking that Altan was just boasting too much about the Ming army for the sake of face. As the saying goes, the general who defeated the army, how can he speak of courage?

Mansuer's disdainful expression made Altan very angry, but Mansuer didn't believe that the Ming army was strong. If this guy was afraid of the Ming army and was not good for him, he would make him arrogant. Hehe, it would be better to fight a war with the Ming army immediately. The deeper the grudge, the better, and then he would be safe.

Mansuer talked to Altan for a while and was no longer interested. He asked someone to take Altan to settle down. After all, the other party was a hero. Although he is in trouble now, it is still worth the price. Anyway, it doesn’t cost much rice and grain to keep.

After Mansuer sent Altan away, he summoned his think tank Abra to him and said, "Ben Khan just talked to Altan. This person is useless. Just keep him and you won't starve to death. Hey, a waste."

Abra frowned and said, "The Khan's words are very inappropriate. Altan is young and unified the Tatars. He has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, which is even stronger than our Turpan. It is said that this man even attacked the capital of the Ming Dynasty. How could he be a waste?"

Man Suer said disapprovingly: "If the Ming Dynasty capital was under Ben Khan's nose, Ben Khan could take it down, not to mention that Altan did not occupy the Ming Dynasty capital in the end, but was driven out of the Ming army by the Ming army. Hehe, hundreds of thousands of troops were beaten to pieces by the Ming army in just a few months, and finally became a dog of a family and fled everywhere. This is not a waste, so how can it be considered a waste?"

Abra immediately said a word and frowned and said, "The Khan's words are not unreasonable, but the Ming army defeated Altan and then defeated Weng Guochu of the Ola. The combat power should not be underestimated and must not be taken lightly. The subordinates thought that the Ming army that defeated Yalan was most likely from the direction of the Ola."

Mansuer's face finally became solemn. He didn't know the combat power of the Tatar cavalry very well, but he still knew the combat power of the Oirat people. He once personally led his troops to fight with the Choros's troops of the Oirat, but he couldn't get any advantage!

"Then can I take this hot potato, Altan, can I take it well?" Man Suer pondered for a moment.

Abra asked with a wry smile: "Do Khan think there is a difference between connecting or not?"

Man Suer couldn't help but laugh and said, "There is indeed no difference. Well, if the Ming army dares to invade, Ben Khan will definitely teach him that he will never return."
