Although King Zhongshun Anke Timur was an old member of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, Lao Zhu attached great importance to Hami from the beginning. Not only did he grant the title of King Zhongshun, he even established a mutual market to sell strategic materials such as tea, salt, and iron, and exchanged excellent war horses with him.
Set up other six guards in Kansai to form a resistance to the Western Regions.
The reason why Lao Zhu attaches so much importance to the Six Guards of Kansai and Hami is that firstly, he can use them to divide the strength of the remaining elements, and secondly, he can use their strength to resist the threat of the Western Regions. Lao Zhu's idea can be said to be advanced, because Kansai
Once something happened, Ming Dynasty wanted to mobilize troops from the capital, but the distance was too far. With the roads inconvenient, such a long march would be a nightmare for the court. On the contrary, with the Six Guards of Kansai and Hami
It would be much easier to assist the Ming Dynasty. These Mongolian cavalry have good combat capabilities and can directly dispatch troops from the local area to deal with it, and the cost is much lower than dispatching troops from the capital.
The Mongolian princes of Kansai Liuwei and Hami were also loyal to the Ming Dynasty and played a major role in protecting the Silk Road and resisting the Western Regions.
Handu knew the importance of Hami, and Anke Timur was also loyal to the court, so he naturally would not despise him verbally, but instead complimented him a few times.
Anke Timur was naturally very happy and kept chatting with Han Du.
As soon as he sat down, Ankh Timur asked curiously, "Why did the Marquis come from the west? You must know that that is the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. Why did the Marquis come from there with a large army?"
Han Du didn't mean to hide it, so he smiled softly and said, "It turns out that I went north to attack the Tatars on the emperor's order, but the wind and snow were too heavy and I lost my way, so I ended up on the wrong side of Oara.
You have to find a way to get home, right? So I can only come back from the west."
Hearing Han Du speak so lightly, Anke Timur couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. The Tatar tribe is on the east side of the grassland, and the Wala is on the west side. How can we go wrong? What kind of way to get lost?
Can you be lost thousands of miles away?
Moreover, this road is not a smooth road. Whether it is the Tatar tribe, the Oara tribe, or the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, Handu and his army are passing through their territory all the way. Do they just
Will you just watch and do nothing?
"Could it be that Oarabu just watched the Marquis pass by?"
"Oh, that's not the case." Han Du said casually, "I have fought four battles with Wala. Four battles and four victories. Now the Wala tribe should no longer exist."
Anke Timur's mouth trembled uncontrollably in shock. That was the Oara tribe, the second largest tribe on the grassland. Compared with the Oara tribe, the Hami tribe
Come on, it's simply not worth mentioning. If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty supporting him, he might have been destroyed by the Oara tribe long ago.
But such a powerful tribe was wiped out by Han Du so lightly?
"What about the Tatar tribe?" Anke Timur swallowed subconsciously.
Han Du lowered his head and took a sip of wine and said, "I killed Arutai and made Benya escape. Now the Tatar tribe should have disappeared."
Ankh Timur ignored his shock and quickly pointed to the west and asked, "Then the Marquis came from the west. I wonder what happened to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate?"
Han Du raised his head and laughed and said, "King Zhongshun's information is still not well-informed. The Eastern Chagatai Khanate was secretly captured by Timur a few years ago. Now there is only Timur's empire and there is no Eastern Chagatai Khan."
However, since I have gone, I will not be polite to the Timur Empire. I conquered Yilibaili City and stayed there for three days. Didn’t I just return now?"
"The Marquis is mighty!" Anke Timur turned from shock to a bitter smile, and in the end he could only feel sincere admiration for Han Du.
Hami is not far from the original Eastern Chagatai Khanate. He has some knowledge of the Timur Empire and knows that it is the most powerful country in the Western Region. However, Ankh Timur has not paid much attention to the Timur Empire.
Otherwise, he would not have known that the Eastern Chagatai Khanate had become Timur's.
Han Du no longer said anything, but lowered his head and focused on the roasted lamb in front of him. He used a knife to cut off a piece of crispy roasted lamb, put it into his mouth while it was hot, and chewed a mouthful filled with hot mutton fat.
The aroma is strong, and a beautiful sip of wine is simply a long-lost enjoyment.
It is not an easy thing to have a hot meal on the march. At least when he was in Timur's empire, Handu did not dare to let down his guard and let the army camp and cook. Only after arriving in Hami, Handu became nervous
Only then can your nerves be relaxed and you can have the energy to enjoy the beauty of food.
But when Anke Timur faced his favorite roast lamb in the past, he had all kinds of flavors and had no appetite at all. Seeing Han Du eating enthusiastically, he could not eat anything except being filled with sorrow.
After resting for a day in Hami, Han Du led the army and continued eastward.
After Han Du left, Anke Timur immediately ordered the clan to
People go to the west to strictly check the people passing by, and if they find enemy troops, they must report them immediately.
Unexpectedly, Anke Timur almost mistook Fu An and others who were coming from behind as enemies due to his accidental collision. If Fu An hadn't reacted quickly, both sides would have fought.
Of course, Han Du didn't know about this. Even if he knew, he wouldn't pay attention to it.
After leaving Hami, Han Du led his army past the Shazhou Guard and the Mongolian Guard naked, and headed directly to Jiayuguan.
When the guard general of Jiayuguan Pass saw the approaching army, he was so frightened that he almost lit the beacon fire. Fortunately, his subordinates discovered the Ming army's flag in time, so the guard general suppressed the urge to light the beacon fire.
Arriving in front of the pass, Azashili found Han Du and said, "Master Marquis, the Daming Pass is ahead of us. It is inconvenient for the officials and others to accompany us, so we will say goodbye. Please take care of yourself, Master Marquis."
The three guards of Wuliangha followed Handu on the expedition this time, and they made a lot of money. Azashili was not stupid. If he didn't get rid of Handu now, he immediately went back with supplies and started to take in the wandering Meng Yuan on the grassland.
Man, do you really want to follow Han Du to the Ming Dynasty?
Now the Tatar tribe and the Oara tribe have been wiped out on the grassland. In addition to the cavalry who died in battle and froze to death, the two tribes also left behind countless women and teenagers. If there is no external force to attract intervention, it may not take more than a few years.
These people will gather in twos and threes to form tiny tribes. If at that time, Azashili wants to annex these tribes, he will have to go to war.
But it is different now. Before these people can form a tribe, Azashi only needs to show a willing attitude, and countless Mongolian people will join Uliangha. This is comparable to how many tribes will join each other a few years later.
It is much simpler to annex.
It can also make the three guards of Wuliangha grow rapidly at the minimum cost.
Han Du naturally also knew what Azashi wanted to do in wanting to return to Ulyanha so anxiously. Therefore, Han Du would not let Azashi leave just like that under any circumstances.
Han Du smiled and said, "The three guards of Wu Liangha followed me on this expedition and made countless achievements. The three commanders also worked hard and made great achievements. The emperor knows that there will be a heavy reward. Commander Azashi is still
Wouldn't it be nice to follow me to the capital so that the emperor can see the famous warriors of the Three Guards of Uliangha and get the rewards you deserve?"
As soon as Han Du finished speaking, Xu Chengfei rolled his eyes and immediately conveyed Han Du's words to Wu Liangha
The cavalry heard.
Wave after wave of cheers erupted among the Wuliangha cavalry. Just imagine that they have lived outside the customs for a long time and have long heard about the prosperity of the Central Plains. If they can go to the capital to see the most prosperous place in the world, it will be a life worth living.
.What's more, the Ming Emperor would also reward them, so why wouldn't they want to go?
In addition, along the way, Han Du has never failed to fulfill his words and promises, and has completely won their trust among the Wu Liangha cavalry. Now that Han Du said this, everyone Wu Liang
None of the Kazakh cavalry had the slightest suspicion.
When Azashili heard the shouts from the tribesmen, he suddenly thought to himself that it was terrible.
Sure enough, Xu Chengfei heard this and smiled and said to him, "Commander Azashili, listen, all your people are willing to go to the Ming Dynasty and get rewards from the emperor."
Azashili was very anxious to return to his hometown, but faced with such a situation, he couldn't break up with Han Du, right?
Seeing Han Du smiling and saying nothing, Azashi hesitated again and again, but nodded and agreed, "Then, Marquis Lao will give you a few nice words in front of the emperor. These people in the lower ranks are rough people. If there is any offense,
I would also like to ask Lord Hou to pay attention."
Han Du burst out laughing, "That's right. In the Ming Dynasty, meritorious deeds must be rewarded and demerits must be punished. If you don't go to the Ming Dynasty to receive the reward, wouldn't it mean that you don't take the Ming Dynasty and the emperor seriously? As for your tribesmen.
, Don’t worry, as long as they obey the rules and don’t cause trouble without permission, I will keep them safe!”
Install the latest version.
Seeing that Han Du had made a promise, Azashili did not dare to say anything more and had no choice but to nod and agree.
After Azashri returned, he immediately summoned Haisanan Daxi and Trulhuchar for discussion.
"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty wants to reward us, that's a good thing! We fought bloody battles for the Ming Dynasty all the way, and we deserve to be rewarded. What are you worried about?" Trulhuchar was very puzzled. This is obviously a good thing, why?
The two of them act like their dead father and mother?
Hai SaNan glared at him angrily and said bitterly, "The warriors of our tribe have lived in a bitter cold land since they were young. What if they go to the colorful world of the Central Plains and are fascinated? By then, what if they don't
If we are willing to go back, what should we do? Also, I think that Han Du may not have good intentions, maybe he has some conspiracy. Ming people are best at conspiracy and calculation, no one knows whether Han Du is really good to us, or not
