Hami City

Chen Xiao looked at the young man who was surrounded by relatives and asked with concern, "How is it?"

"When I met Baturhun, he looked like a hawk and looked at the wolves. He is very scheming and should not be underestimated." Jia Heng's face was covered with a layer of frost and he said in a deep voice: "However, he is a little afraid of my big man and may want to ask for help."

and."

The masters fought against each other, but Baturhun was actually very afraid of the Han army.

In other words, how can you not be afraid?

All 30,000 Junggar tribesmen were massacred by the Han, and Wen Chun and Galdan only escaped with their own lives. It is estimated that the Junggars have never suffered such a big loss since their rise.

How many standing troops does Junggar have?

This time, it can be said that it hurts the muscles and bones.

"Seek peace?" Chen Xiao said with a flash of surprise in his clear eyes.

Secretly, how did you figure it out?

Generals such as Jin Xuan, Xie Zaiyi and others present also looked at the young man in surprise. This man was so menacing that he was seeking peace.

Jia Heng's eyes showed determination and he said: "It cannot be said to be asking for peace, but to temporarily avoid the edge. The previous defeat of Wen Chun has caused Baturhui to lose half of his troops this time. This war is aimed at Junggar.

For me, it’s more about regaining face.”

This is actually a common game between the grasslands and the Central Plains dynasties - surrender and then rebel again.

In other words, many times, the peace agreement that the two parties finally worked out would be blatantly torn up, and then the Central Plains dynasty could not bear to be disturbed due to cost considerations.

They are afraid of power and not virtuous.

Jia Heng pondered and said: "Hami City needs to be guarded by generals who are good at conquering and fighting. Shazhou has chosen mature and stable generals to guard it as a countermeasure."

As he said that, he glanced at Jin Xuan.

After what happened before, Jin Xuan can no longer guard Xining. The best outcome is to lead 30,000 Xining cavalry to garrison Hami. The court can grant him the title of Prince of Xining.

Xie Zaiyi cupped his hands and said, "Commander, I would like to stay in Hami."

Jia Heng said: "General Xie, Liaodong still needs to rely on the general to deploy troops. The matter in the Western Regions can only be left to be resolved next time. For now, we must raise troops to repel the Junggar cavalry."

Jin Xuan's eyes flashed, and a thought suddenly came to his mind.

His son-in-law killed his brother and nephew, and he had no shame to return to Xining. If he was stationed in Hami and resisted Junggar, he would have the dignity to visit his brother in the future.

After the generals dispersed, Jia Heng looked at Jin Xuan, who was hesitant to speak, and asked, "General Jin, do you have something to say to me?"

Jin Xuan said: "Mr. Wei Guo, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

Jia Heng's face was slightly startled, and he looked at Jin Xuan, who had a somewhat different meaning in his eyes. He felt somewhat clear in his heart, and extended his hand to invite you, "General Jin, please come to the study."

With that said, he came to the study first. Jia Heng sat down behind the desk where he usually worked. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea. He handed it to Jin Xuan. In the steaming heat, the tender green tea leaves spread out.

"Thank you so much, Duke Wei." Jin Xuan said in a low voice with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

Jia Heng said: "Now that the army can successfully pacify Qinghai and Mongolia, the Xining border army has contributed a lot. General Jin has taken the lead, and he has the spirit of the founding eagle of martial arts."

Jin Xuan said: "The Duke of Wei is overly praised."

Jia Heng picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and glanced at Jin Xuan, who was worried.

Jin Xuan put down the tea cup. There seemed to be an inexplicable look on his resolute face. He moved his lips and said in a difficult voice: "Duke Wei, Xiaoyu led troops to the west before and was killed on the battlefield. I am responsible."

After saying these words, the Fuyuan general seemed to have suddenly withdrawn all his energy and energy and sat down.

Hearing this, Jia Heng put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at General Fuyuan with piercing eyes, and said without comment: "General Fuyuan, are you going to tell me about the Jin family's nobility system in which the strong are respected?

"

Jin Hyun argued anxiously: "I watched Xiaoyu grow up, and I never meant to harm him."

"He went to Haiyan with 30,000 troops. Don't you know there is danger? In terms of military strength alone, it cannot compare with Heshuote. Did you watch him go to Haiyan alone?" Jia Heng asked with a slightly cold look on his face.

: "You didn't mean to harm him?"

Jin Xuan's expression changed and he said: "At that time, Fang Jin used words to provoke me. I tried to persuade Xiaoyu, but he refused to listen. Besides, the Jin family's town in the northwest also needs a capable person to suppress the northwest."

Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Yan Ye and Liu Fang led the troops to the northwest. The Xining cavalry stagnated and just sat back and watched the army's defeat. What other explanation do you have?"

Jin Xuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I want to ensure the peace of Xining City. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xining City cannot fall into the hands of barbarians because of the burden of one person!"

Jia Heng said categorically: "Xining City is not the Jin family's Xining City, it is the imperial court's Xining City!"

Jin Xuan's body trembled, as if a basin of cold water was poured down his pocket, and his limbs felt cold.

Jia Heng's face no longer had the warm look of the past, and his face was as gloomy as iron. He said in a cold voice: "Jia doesn't care how many incompetent Jin family members died in order to choose the successor, but in the Qinghai War,

More than 100,000 Han troops were killed successively, which caused the imperial court to be uneasy about the military affairs in the northwest, and the Holy Emperor was even more uneasy. As the general of Xining Fuyuan, you, Jin Xuan, cannot absolve yourself of the blame for this matter!"

The reason why it was not raised before was not because Kim Hyun-moon was covering up his fault, but because he had to distinguish between the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction. In the face of a powerful enemy, it is not appropriate to make the relationship between the Xining border army and the Beijing camp cavalry too tense.

But now that Jin Hyun has admitted this, he wants to take the opportunity to express his attitude.

Cold sweat broke out on Jin Xuan's back. Under the cold gaze of the young man, he lowered his head and whispered: "I have written a memorandum of apology to the court and plan to send someone to deliver it to Shenjing quickly."

Jia Heng asked: "Your memorandum of apology is to be submitted to the Holy One. I have also submitted the previous memorandum of apology to Shenjing. Right and wrong, merit and demerit, will be weighed and decided by the Holy One."

Jin Xuan said: "I have reported to the Holy Lord that the prince of Xining County is the heir, and Xiaoyu's son will be appointed as the heir. I will lead the troops to garrison in Hami. Since the Jin family is the king of Xining County, and now the northwest is unrest, I will serve as the guardian of the Jin family.

In the northwest, the imperial court will regain the Western Regions in the future. Jin Xuan is willing to be a pawn in the army and let Duke Wei run at his command!"

Jia Heng stared at Jin Xuan and said nothing for a long time. After a while, he asked loudly: "With thirty thousand Xining side riders and another twenty thousand infantry, can you, Jin Xuan, hold on?"

"Don't worry, Duke Wei, the city is here and the people are there, but the city is dead and the people are dead!" Jin Xuan raised his head, met the young man's sharp eyes, his eyes were firm and he said in a deep voice.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said: "In that case, General Jin will go first."

Jin Xuan cupped his hands and said yes. The big stone that was weighing on his heart unconsciously moved away, and his steps became much more brisk.

Watching Jin Xuan leave, the young man sat on the desk. The sun shone on the face that had weathered the weather and became clearer and sharper. His eyes were dark and uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Chen Xiao entered the house and said softly: "How is it?"

Jia Heng said: "Jin Xuan asked for orders to guard Hami, and I have agreed. Now that Xibianbian Town has reached Hami, it is not appropriate for the Jin family to dominate Xining anymore."

"That's good, the separatist trend of the Jin family should come to an end." Chen Xiao's crystal clear face appeared thoughtful, pondered for a moment, and asked: "How do you think Baturhun will seek peace?"

Jia Heng said: "After a fight, most of it will be settled. Grassland herdsmen, you think of them as ungrateful bandits. They don't care whether it is insulting to the country or not. If they see that they can't take advantage, they will disperse."

Already."

This is the survival wisdom of the grassland nomads. When they see an enemy, they will retreat, lick their wounds again, and come back again.

Chen Xiao nodded and asked: "What about the Shazhou Guard? Who do you plan to send to guard it?"

Jia Heng said: "Xie Zaiyi's deputy general Wang Xun is very heavy and resourceful. Now Shazhou Guards is guarding Shazhou. With the combined military rank and guarding Shazhou, there will be no danger."

"Although we have arranged these follow-up matters, if there is an opportunity to severely damage Junggar Mongolia, we cannot let it go." Chen Xiao said.

"Of course." Jia Heng said, thought for a while, and said: "This time I used firearms, using long to overcome close proximity, which should be able to hurt Junggar. However, there are still too few high-quality firearms. If the flintlock gun is equipped with all

The army, the nomadic barbarians on the grassland can only sing and dance."

In fact, if the Qing Dynasty in parallel time and space, according to historical records, the Junggars living in Central Asia, the tinder matchlocks were taught by Russian merchants or Bukhara merchants, and they gradually became able to make gunpowder.

Chen Xiao said: "If we bring the Hongyi cannon, the Dzungars will be severely defeated by the shelling just now."

Jia Heng said: "The Hongyi cannon is inconvenient to transport, and it is also inconvenient to transport it from the south now. For now, it is best to use a fire blunderbuss to top it."

If the Hongyi cannon had not been taken away, Nan'an, the prodigal son, would have been left to the Heshuote people, and the subsequent counterinsurgency would have been even more difficult.

All I can say is, drink and peck.

Chen Xiao said: "There is news from Jinyi Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. The navy in the south of the Yangtze River has also wiped out the pirates, but many of them have retreated to Jilong Mountain. Wang Shuirong of Beijing is leading the troops to suppress the pirates, but the battle is not going well.

, there seems to be a Hongyi cannon in Jilong Mountain?"

Jia Heng said: "Is there one in Jilong Mountain too?"

"There are also red barbarians there." Chen Xiao said.

Jia Heng frowned and said, "What are Shuirong's plans?"

"We are still encircling and suppressing them now. I am worried that these red barbarians will send these artillery skills to the Jurchens again. According to the information from the Jurchens, Dorgon is planning to send people to Nanyang with heavy money to find the barbarians who made the red barbarian cannons.

Master craftsman."

Jia Heng said: "This day has come a long time ago. Huang Taiji was killed by a cannon. It is impossible for the Jurchens to remain indifferent."

"Then how do you deal with it?" Chen Xiao asked with concern.

"Let's take it one step at a time. First pacify the northwest, and then introduce the Jurchens. They won't have as many cannons as my big men." Jia Heng said.

This is limited by the background of the two countries. In the future, the Han Dynasty will not be able to conquer the world with one move. After the rise of the Han Dynasty, it will crush the Jurchens in all directions.

…

…

On the sand dunes with withered vegetation, the sound of people roaring and horses neighing sounded, and the Junggar cavalry began to set up camp.

Military tents stand in the open wilderness, as white as snowflakes, like white clouds in the blue sky.

Baturhun convened the generals of Junggar for discussion, and said to a muscular young man: "Tuga, you lead five thousand people, cut off the roads around Hami City, and stare at the Han army's grain transport team.

Attack at any time."

The young man named Tuga clasped his fists and said yes.

Wen Chun said: "Father, I am familiar with the geography around Hami City. Please let me lead some people to rush there too."

Baturhui nodded and said: "Remember, don't fight with the Han army. The main thing is to attack and harass."

Baturhun had twelve sons in total, including Chechen, Zhuote Babatur, and ***. They were not here because they resisted the invasion of Tsarist Russia and the Kazakh Khanate.

However, Bumu, Dorzizabu, and Punsukdashi are still young and still stay in Boxai.
