"But, Your Highness, have you ever thought about it?" Hu Guozhu said worriedly, "This is equivalent to completely breaking up with the Uzbeks and Turkmens. In this way, the opposition that was originally hostile to the Ming Dynasty will only become more determined.
Intermediate sources who tend to wait and see will also become more aggressive, and the situation in Bukhara will get worse."
After a pause, Hu Guozhu continued: "Moreover, the situation in Central Asia affects each other, and the turmoil in the Bukhara region will inevitably affect the surrounding Kokand region, Khiva region and Kazakhstan."
region, and even the Safavid dynasty of Persia further south may take the opportunity to send troops, and in this case, the entire Central Asia region will be in chaos."
Zhu Cijiong was unmoved, and said with a sullen face: "Hu Guozhu, you have already thought about these orphans, but these are not problems, even if they are the remnants of the Bukhara Khanate, Khiva Khanate, and Kazakh Khanate
All the forces have formed an alliance, and even the Safavid dynasty of Persia has sent troops to participate, but we are not afraid at all."
"We have six cavalry divisions, and a head-on confrontation is enough to crush any powerful enemy."
"On the contrary, what is happening now is that the rebellion of hundreds or even dozens of indigenous people has made us very passive."
“Since entering the Kazakh Khanate in late August last year, within three months we have successively annihilated more than a dozen countries including Kazakhstan, Khiva, Bukhara and Kokand, and annihilated more than 200,000 troops from each khanate.
However, the number of casualties was less than a thousand, and the number of casualties did not exceed a hundred."
"However, the counter-insurgency operations that began at the end of last year have resulted in more than 3,000 casualties so far. In addition, for more than half a year, all the soldiers in the army have been busy fighting rebellions everywhere. They are exhausted physically and mentally. If this continues, sooner or later we will be dragged down.
collapse."
Speaking of this, Zhu Cijiong's face showed a look of determination: "Instead of doing this, it is better to break up completely and let the indigenous people in Central Asia see the consequences of angering the Ming Dynasty."
Hu Guozhu actually felt that Zhu Cijiong's strategy was right.
The problem is that the Holy Father does not agree with them carrying out massacres in conquered countries.
At that moment, Hu Guozhu whispered: "But the Holy One's will is...and the Holy One is already recruiting monks and students to send to Central Asia to carry out enlightenment."
"It doesn't matter." Zhu Cijiong said, "I never believe that the indigenous people in Central Asia will have the determination to resist to the end. Didn't they also surrender when the Mongols marched westward? The Mongols can do it, and so can our Ming army.
It can be done. For these uncivilized natives, it is useless to reason with them. Only iron and blood can make them surrender."
Zhu Cijiong finally made up his mind and said with a sullen face: "Immediately give orders to the cavalry divisions stationed in Kokand, Khiva and Kazakhstan. From today on, we will no longer tolerate the rebellious indigenous people everywhere. Every city that rebels will be killed."
City, if one place rebels, the locals will be slaughtered. Don't be afraid of killing people. My father said that population is the most precious resource, but the population that cannot be used by me is not only not a resource, but a burden! Since it is a burden, then
It’s absolutely impossible to tolerate it!”
Zhu Cijiong was really annoyed and a little anxious because he didn't want to stay in Central Asia for too long.
Because if you go south from Central Asia, you can already smell the curry of the Mughal Dynasty. If you go west, you can hear the camel bells of the Favid Dynasty of Persia. To the north of Central Asia, you will find Tsarist Russia.
Then there is Ottoman Turkey. From Ottoman Turkey to the west is Europe. There are too many countries waiting for him to conquer.
Zhu Cijiong has a hidden ambition in his heart.
He wants to be the greatest conqueror in the history of China.
After the order was issued, dozens of flying cavalry immediately dispersed.
Zhu Cijiong then asked Xu Wuniu to call the Torgut merchant Abaiyi to his residence.
"Abai, have you Turghuts moved to the Volga River now?"
"King Hui Ding, yes, we Turgut have moved to the lower reaches of the Volga River."
"Did Tsarist Russia fulfill their promises? Did they show you enough respect?"
"Bullshit, the Tsar just used our Torgut troops as mercenaries. He always forced our strong men to fight for him, and we also brought our own dry food for the war. Even if we won the battle, we didn't get much reward. So in the past few decades
, our Torgut tribe is living a very difficult life, and the number of strong men in the tribe has dropped sharply to less than 50,000."
"Then move back, move back to the Kazakh grassland." Zhu Cijiong said.
"Prince Ding, a small person cannot be the master of such a big thing." Abaiyi said.
"Of course, I didn't ask you to make the decision." Zhu Cijiong said, "Go back and tell the leader of your tribe that as long as the Turghut tribe is willing to move back, you can choose the pastures in Central Asia. Of course, the Turghut tribe is willing to move back."
The Erhut tribe also needs to send troops to accompany our army on the expedition, but I will not be as dishonest as the Russian Czar. As long as your Torhut tribe is willing to send troops and follow our army to win the battle, I will definitely be rewarded.
There are rewards, including cattle, sheep, horses, camels, and even women."
Abaiyi said piously: "King Ding, I will definitely convey your will back to the tribe."
"Go." Zhu Cijiong waved his hand, and Abhay turned around and left in a hurry.
Watching Abaiyi leave, Hu Guozhu asked in a low voice: "Does King Ding intend to replace the indigenous people of Central Asia with the Turghut people?"
"It's not Torgut, but the four tribes of Oirat." Zhu Cijiong tapped his fingers on the wool carpet under him, and said thoughtfully, "Including Junggar, the herdsmen of the four tribes of Oirat followed the army on their journey to the west.
They performed very well, but the most important thing is that they have seen the power of the Ming army and have enough respect for the Ming court, so it is time to loosen the dog leash around their necks and give them the status of Ming subjects."
Hearing this, Hu Guozhu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Hu Guozhu already knew what Zhu Cijiong had planned.
Zhu Cijiong's idea was to vacate the cage for a bird and reward the four tribes of Turghut, Junggar, Heshuote and Durbot with the hometowns of Kazakh, Khiva, Bukhara and Kokand Khanate, and then transfer the Kazakhs to the four tribes.
Kill most of the people, Uzbeks, Kyrgyz and Turkmen, and use the rest as a servant army, and then take this servant army to continue the westward or southward expedition. Of course, you can also conquer Tsarist Russia in the north. Anyway, that's the idea.
Hu Guozhu felt that Zhu Cijiong's idea was very successful.
First of all, the servant armies of the four Oirat tribes have been fighting in coordination with the Ming army for nearly a year. In the process, they have fully demonstrated the strength of the Ming army. At the same time, they have also established a certain degree of friendship and mutual trust. Therefore, compared to the indigenous people in Central Asia, they are naturally more obedient.
There are many more people and they are easier to educate. Therefore, after replacing the indigenous people of Central Asia with the four Oirat tribes, Central Asia will be smoothly integrated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Then, if you threaten the Kazakhs, Uzbeks and other indigenous people called servant armies and go into battle, you will be able to obtain a new batch of servant troops who will serve as cannon fodder. And over time, this batch of servant troops will obediently surrender like the Junggar servant army.
After conquering new lands, this group of Central Asian servants can take their place.
The more Hu Guozhu thought about it, the more he felt that this method was extremely feasible.
At that moment, Hu Guozhu asked Zhu Cijiong: "King Ding, once the Torgut tribe moves back to Central Asia, where do you plan to fight next? The Persian Plateau or the Mughals in South Asia? Or Tsarist Russia?"
Zhu Cijiong said without hesitation: "Of course it is the Mughal Dynasty."
The reason why Zhu Cijiong chose the Mugor Dynasty as his next target is very simple.
First, the Safavid dynasty of Persia is already old and ill like the Ming Dynasty ten years ago, and there is still the restraint of the Ottoman Turks in the west. Therefore, even if the Ming army in Central Asia is deployed in full force, the Persians
It was also unable to invade. Although the Mughal Dynasty had been established for more than a hundred years, the country was still strong, so its priority was ahead of Persia.
Secondly, while the Second Cavalry Army led by Li Yan was in a bitter battle in the snowy area, the Mughal Dynasty actually extended its tentacles into the snowy area in southern Shannan. This made the situation of Li Yan's troops even worse, so Zhu Cijiong sent troops to South Asia.
It was also to coordinate Li Yan's troops and form a pincer attack on the Mughal Dynasty from two directions in the northwest.
Third, Tsarist Russia was relatively far away.
Based on the above three points, Zhu Cijiong chose the Mughal Dynasty as the first target of attack.
Hu Guozhu said happily: "The general also thinks so. Although the Mughals are descendants of Mongolia, they have long lost the bravery of their ancestors because they have stayed in Tianzhu continent for too long, and the number of Mongolians is also very large.
Compared to the Persians and Russians, they are actually easier to conquer."
…
A few days later, the "atrocities" committed by the Ming army in Vardanz quickly spread throughout the homeland of the Bukhara Khanate.
After learning that the Ming army actually massacred Vardanz and hung the corpses of all the Uzbeks in the city on the city wall, the small tribes that had surrendered began to rebel again.
Within ten days, the entire homeland of the Bukhara Khanate rebelled.
In another month, the Kokand Khanate, the Khiva Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate also rebelled in their hometowns.
The Safavid dynasty of Persia and the Mughal dynasty also sent an army to Central Asia from the homelands of the Khiva Khanate and the Bukhara Khanate respectively. The situation in Central Asia suddenly became serious.
Zhu Cijiong decisively reduced his troops, first defeated the Mughal dynasty's army, and then the Safavid dynasty's army, and then severely damaged the Bukhara Khanate, Khiva Khanate, Kokand Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate coalition.
After severely inflicting heavy losses on the coalition forces, the Ming army divided into six groups and launched a brutal purge of the indigenous people in various khanates in Central Asia.
As a result, fortresses were breached one after another, and cities captured one after another.
The Central Asian indigenous people living in the fortress and the city, except women and children, were all executed.
In just six months, hundreds of cities and thousands of fortresses in Central Asia were captured by the Ming army. Millions of indigenous men living in the cities and fortresses were slaughtered by the Ming army, and all women and children were turned into slaves.
