Chapter 1212 Commanding Jiayuguan
On May 28, the sixth year of Jiajing, Xu Jin led more than 100,000 Northern Expedition troops to leave Yanran Mountain, and rushed south all the way, heading towards Jiayuguan. Sanghad and Toro Huo watched the Ming army go away, and their tense nerves over the past few days finally relaxed for a moment.
Although Sanghad and Toro Huo signed a peace agreement with Xu Jin, as long as the Ming army did not withdraw for one day, they would be uneasy for a day. In addition, the imperial edict of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty had not arrived for a long time and the matter of requesting the seal had not yet been settled, so they naturally were worried that there would be troubles.
What if the Emperor Ming Dynasty had a bigger appetite than Xu Jin? What if the Emperor Ming Dynasty asked for more? Should we start fighting or continue to compromise and unconditionally satisfy the appetite of the Ming people?
Therefore, while waiting for the imperial edict of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, Sanhad and Toro Huo spent every day uneasy. This feeling was really bad. But now it was better. The Ming army rushed south and the troops pointed at Turpan. Sanhad and Toro Huo suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced. Hehe, Mansuer is such a fool, who is really a living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering. May Allah bless him and bless him with a strong head, haha!
"Brothers Sanhad, Xu Jin ordered us to lead our troops to approach Hami before leaving. Should we do as we do?" asked Toro Huo.
Sanhad's eyes flashed and said, "As long as you do, you must do it. You must give your face to Duke Yasukuni. Hey, we have no loss anyway, we just put some pressure on the old guy Mansuer."
Speaking of which, Turpan and Olachoros bordered each other and often clashed, and Sanhad and Mansuer fought several times, so Sanhad was happy to see the Ming army attacking Turpan. If there was an opportunity, he would even pounce on it without hesitation and take a bite, and take a bite. After all, if there is a advantage, it will not be taken without waste.
Of course, if the Ming army was not an opponent of the Turpans, Sanghad would choose to stand idly by. If the Ming army was defeated, it would be better to take advantage of the situation to take back the territory east of Yanran Mountain. Hehe, kill two birds with one stone. This is the so-called fight between cranes and clams, and the fisherman will benefit.
Therefore, when the Ming army went to war with Turpan, no matter who lost and who won, the only one who benefited was Ola and Sanghad, who was smart, and his abacus was clattering.
…………
The Duke of Jingguo Xu was coming, and the news reached Jiayuguan. Soon, not only the entire Suzhou city was shaken, but even the Ganzhou city hundreds of miles away was shaken. Gao Ding, the highest military commander of the Shaanxi Xingdu Department, personally led a group of military officers under his command to rush to Jiayuguan to prepare for the reception.
Here it is necessary to explain what Xingdu Sector is. Xingdu Sector is the Xingdu Command Commander Office, so the full name of Shaanxi Xingdu Sector is Shaanxi Xingdu Commander Office.
The provincial government agencies of the Ming Dynasty were mainly divided into three main departments, namely the Ministry of Representatives of the Political and Civil Affairs Office, the Ministry of Promotion of the Political and Military Commission, and the Ministry of Command and Civil Affairs Office.
The Command and Command Office is the highest military command office at the provincial level. Generally speaking, there is only one Command and Command Office in a province. However, Shaanxi is quite special. It has two, one is the Command and Command Office, whose capital is located in Xi'an, and the other is the Command and Command Office, whose capital is located in Ganzhou.
Because Shaanxi has a special geographical location and borders with many hostile countries, it must be militarized and managed all year round. In addition, the territory span is large, so the Duofu Office is obviously not enough to deal with it. Therefore, a Duofu Office was added to Ganzhou to assist in the military affairs of nearby prefectures.
The commander of the Shaanxi Xingdu Command is under the jurisdiction of the twelve guards and four thousand guards. If the staff is full, the troops can reach more than 70,000. Currently, the commander of the Shaanxi Xingdu Commander is named Gao Ding.
On the third day of the sixth month of the sixth year of Jiajing, General Pinghu and Duke of Jingguo Xu Jin finally led the main army to outside Jiayuguan. Shi Gaoding, commander of the Shaanxi Xingdusi, had led a group of subordinates to wait outside the city for a long time.
Gao Ding was about fifty years old, with a square face and long beard tied up, which was quite like a Confucian general. After seeing Xu Jin's majestic handsome flag from afar, Gao Ding immediately looked calm and straightened his clothes solemnly, and then led the crowd to ride a horse to meet him.
Gao Ding obviously found out that Huang Dacan was a classmate and friend of Duke Jingguo Xu Jin, so he specially brought Huang Dacan, a sixth-rank official, with him. After all, it is easy to talk to someone with an acquaintance.
To be honest, although Gao Ding's rank is not low and a second-rank military officer, he is still a little nervous at this moment. There is no way. Xu Jin's background is too big. Not to mention that Duke Jingguo is a super-grade existence. Just the title of Xu Behead is scary enough. Now he has commanded tens of thousands of soldiers, holding Shangfang's sword, and holding the power of life and death.
The most terrible thing is that Jiayuguan was only broken by the Turpan people not long ago. If Xie Sanqian and Pei Xingjin, who were under the command of Duke Jingguo, had it been just arrived, the Suzhou city would have fallen. Such a serious accident occurred in his own jurisdiction, Gao Ding naturally was afraid that Xu Jin would hold him accountable.
However, the most uneasy thing at the moment is Wu Changwei, the commander of Suzhou Guard, and Dou Hongwu, the commander-in-chief. After all, they are the direct responsible persons.
Speaking of which, Gao Ding led the crowd to the coach's banner. When he looked up, he saw a young man in Confucian clothes riding on a white horse with red lips and white teeth, broad eyebrows and broad eyes, elegant temperament and gentle temperament. He showed a calmness in his every move. Moreover, the young man in Confucian clothes was surrounded by a group of warriors like stars surround the moon.
"This person should be the famous Xu Behead Xu Changsheng." Gao Ding thought to himself, and did not dare to neglect at the moment, so he quickly turned over and dismounted, saluting respectfully at Xu Jin: "Gao Ding, commander of the Shaanxi Xingdusi, please see Duke Jingguo!"
"See Duke Jingguo." The commander of Ganzhou Guard Wu Changwei and other military officers also dismounted and saluted.
Xu Jin smiled and clasped his fists to return the greeting, then dismounted and greeted Gao Ding for a few words. Finally, his eyes turned to someone and said happily: "Brother Shaoyun, after leaving for many years, his charm is still the same, which is gratifying!"
Huang Dacan's face was also flushed with excitement at this moment. The scene of seeing off his farewell at Changting was still vivid in my mind. It was already six years in the blink of an eye. The classmates were still young and their familiar smiles were still calm!
"Brother Ziqian, I'm happy to be fine!" Huang Dacan's eyes were a little wet.
Gao Ding was secretly happy. It seemed that it was right to bring Huang Dacan with him this time. Xu Jin and Huang Dacan had a very good relationship.
Xu Jin smiled and said, "Brother Shaoyun, I will do my business first, and then get a private relationship when I have free time."
Huang Dacan bowed and said, "It should be so. The Turpan envoy is now in Guancheng. Duke Jingguo asked!"
