Chapter 830 I dont mind capturing another great emperor of tomorrow
"Manas means patroller in our Mongolian language. In the past, there were patrol soldiers along the Manas River, which means hero."
Later, Batur, the Great Khan of the Junggar Khanate, stood on horseback on the bank of the Manas River. He raised his hand and pointed his whip at the river in front of him and said to the envoy beside him.
The envoy beside him was wearing a scarlet robe and a red belt. He also had two flintlock guns on his belt. He was looking at the Manas River with a telescope in his hand, but he only spoke lightly to Batur's words.
responded, "The Han people were here long before the Mongols came here."
"During the Western Han Dynasty, its east belonged to the Wutanzili Kingdom, its west belonged to the Wusun Kingdom, and later became the territory of the Protectorate of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty. The three kingdoms were the Wusun Kingdom, the Northern Wei Dynasty belonged to Gaoche, the Northern Zhou Dynasty belonged to the Turks, and the Sui Dynasty belonged to the Iron Kingdom
Le, in the Tang Dynasty, it was first the secret department of the Western Turks, and later in the Tang Dynasty, it was the secret department of the Western Turks, and there was a Wu Zai guarding it.
The Song Dynasty belonged to the Western Liao Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty belonged to the Gaocha Uighurs. In this dynasty, the Walas marched westward and captured it from the Yarkant. In these years, your Hulama tribe of the Junggar tribe has been nomadic here, right?"
The member of the Ming Dynasty royal family wearing red is Zhu Shizhong, who is now the chief historian of the Beiting Protectorate. His title is not low, and he also has the lifelong title of Marquis Yanchang.
However, this man was quite famous in the Western Regions. He was the brother of the last Su King of Lanzhou. The last Su King surrendered to Zhang Xianzhong and was killed. Later, Mila Yin, Ding Guodong and others raised troops in Gansu to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, so they found Zhu Shizhong who had fled to Suzhou.
Come out to support the establishment and support the Yanyan King Zhu Shizhu to supervise the country.
However, Zhu Shizhong did not have any ambitions, and Milayin and others did not really support him as the leader. When Zhu Yihai sent someone to contact them, Zhu Shizhong also took the initiative to abdicate and return to the vassal. Mirayin
They also immediately returned to Zhu Yihai's court, and everyone was very happy.
After Zhu Shizhong abdicated, he was retained and extended the title of county prince, and even stayed in Gansu. It was not until He Hongqi and others went westward and opened up the connection with the mainland that Zhu Shizhong repeatedly requested to be removed from the title, and then took the initiative
Request to enter the court.
Zhu Shidong was given a grand reception by Zhu Yihai when he entered the capital. After meeting with him, Zhu Yihai had a good impression of the emperor's uncle, so he asked him to come to the Zongren Mansion to help Zhu Yujian and was given the title of Marquis Yanchang.
After one year in Beijing, he was sent to Shaanxi and Gansu by the emperor as an imperial envoy to inspect. After the Miding Rebellion, he became Hong Chengchou, the chief of Wu Sangui's vanguard army, supervising military discipline and supervising food and pay.
After putting down the rebellion, he was awarded the title of Governor of Beiting Protectorate by the emperor.
The Protector of the Beiting Protectorate was none other than Junggar Khan Batur, and the two were nominally partners.
But looking at the Manas River, Batur was very angry. The fish in this river used to be very fat, but now no one dares to catch the fish in the river and eat it.
Too many people have died in the river. When the fish caught in the river are cut open, there is still a lot of corpses inside.
The vast majority of those in the fish belly are Junggar warriors.
The tough Dzungarian warriors were defeated several times here. In another battle of the Manas River that just ended, another three thousand Dzungarian soldiers died.
It's not that the Dzungarian warriors are not brave, but that Turpan Khan's firearms are sharp. In this battle, Batur mobilized many more tribal warriors. After some replenishment and rest, he led 30,000 people to launch a war, preparing to capture Manas City in one fell swoop.
But they didn't even cross the river.
Amulun Khan lined up against the city and faced the river, erected a camp and hid artillery. When the Junggar warriors charged across the river and were halfway across, Amulun led his army to stop them.
Strike halfway across.
Artillery bombardment, bird cannons intercepted, and when the half-crossing troops were scattered by the cannons, Amulun personally led the Giljis cavalry to rush out from both wings.
Three thousand people.
A total of three thousand people were killed in the battle, and their corpses dyed the river red and blocked the river.
Batur personally went into battle and charged, but failed to turn defeat into victory. He fought for a whole day, killed three thousand people and injured countless others. In the end, he had to retreat to the west bank to set up camp.
If the Batur brothers and his son had not worked together to defend the camp, Junggar would have been defeated and returned.
They lost not in numbers, bravery, etc., but in weapons.
Even Batur had enough reason to suspect that the Ming army had also come to an end in this battle. Among the Giljis cavalry led by Amulun, there was a very elite and brave cavalry, especially the equipment was extremely good, and the knights and war horses were all wearing
They were heavily armored, and in addition to bows and arrows, all weapons were equipped with hooks, sickles, and spears. In addition, they were actually equipped with muskets.
This heavy cavalry with weapons to the teeth was very sharp and brave, like a sharp knife, it penetrated the two wings of the Junggar army on the battlefield, almost unstoppably tore open the hole in the Junggar flank and fought its way in.
This cavalry numbered three thousand.
Batur never believed that this was Turpan Khan's Gilghis cavalry. After the defeat, he quickly sent people to investigate this cavalry, and even tortured and extorted confessions from the captured prisoners to interrogate the true nature of this cavalry.
He received some vague and even confusing information, but some of them frightened and angered him.
The three thousand heavy cavalry were not all Giljis. Although there were no Ming or Han soldiers among them, it was said that they were a new army, secretly armed by the Ming army. They were still nominally affiliated with Turpan Khan, but in fact they were a new army.
It is a new army organized, trained and equipped by the Ming army.
Their name is the Jingsai Army.
The instructors are all from the Royal Cavalry Academy of the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers include Giljis, Huites, Durbots, Tanguts, and even some Uighurs, Uzbeks, etc.
Nominally Amulun Khan's army was actually commanded and controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
Although there is no definite evidence yet, Batur firmly believes it.
"We are allies, right?" he asked Zhu Shizhong.
Zhu Shizhong looked at Manas City on the other side of the river and the Jingsai Army patrolling along the river, and nodded. The name Jingsai Army was not randomly chosen. The Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty was located here.
The Jingsai Army was once established. Later, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Jingsai Army moved into the interior.
After that, he stationed in Yanyun area with 11,000 troops.
In the Song Dynasty, the Jingsai Army was a Xiang army on the front line of Yizhou. Yizhou was located on the front line and the people were fierce. After Yongxi's Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty's Long Guard Army and other elite troops were all lost. The Jingsai Army was brave and not afraid of death.
Unstoppable, he became the elite of the Song Army.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After that, the Jingsai Army became an elite cavalry, with one person and five horses, well-equipped. Although the number was only three thousand, they made many outstanding military exploits for the Song Dynasty. The Tang River War
During the battle, the Jingsai Army broke in at the vanguard and divided several times the Liao army's heavy cavalry, resulting in a severe defeat.
Later, the Battle of Xuhe and other battles once again proved that the Song Army's cavalry was equally tough and made great achievements again.
The Jingsai Army is now resurrected in the Western Regions. This name shows that the Ming Dynasty did not plan to really hide it. Part of the original vanguard army went to Turpan to build Gaochang City and set up Tianshan Xiezhen. Yiwu also established Yiwu
Xie Zhen.
The Jingsai Army itself is also a unit with the Royal Camp Military Attaché as its instructor, the Pioneer Military Academy Lieutenant as its officer, and many people such as Giljis, Durbot, and Uighurs as cavalry. It is also stationed directly in Manas.
The intention is very obvious.
They had no intention of hiding it.
Batur asked Zhu Shizhong, what does Ming Dynasty want to do, and does it have the spirit of covenant?
Zhu Shizhen just smiled and replied: "The Emperor of Heaven is also the Great Khan of Mongolia. He is the co-leader of all the Mongolian tribes. All the Mongolian tribes in the northern desert, southern desert and western desert share the same respect. Junggar is a part of the Mongolian Mongolia, and Turpan is also a western desert."
Part of Mongolia. Amulun broke away from Yarkand Abdullah Khan and established itself. He joined the Ming Dynasty and became a vassal and paid tribute. Now he is no longer Yarkand and no longer an enemy."
"Your Majesty hopes that Junggar can stop its attack on Turpan Khan. Turpan Khanate and Junggar Khanate are bounded by the Kur River. The west of the river belongs to Junggar, the east of the river belongs to Turpan, and the north is bounded by Shatuo Qi. The two sides will turn their hostility into friendship."
There is Wusu City on the bank of the Kur River, also known as Kurkara Wusu City. This area just adjacent to Ili was originally the territory of Heshuote. It was the nomadic land of Gushi Khan. Later Gushi Khan went south to Qinghai-Tibet and followed
Batur also made a deal. This land was given to Junggar in exchange for Junggar's support for Heshuote's invasion of Qinghai.
There are mountains to the south and north of this land, and to the east it leads directly to Urumqi, Wusu, Shawan and other places, which are all very good plains. To the north it enters Talbahatai, the core of Junggar, and to the southwest it is okay.
Entering the Ili River Valley.
Junggar once also entered the Ili Valley, but in the end, under the intervention of the Ming Dynasty, the boundaries were redrawn and withdrew from the Ili Valley, while Kulkara Wusu was retained. The Ming Dynasty promised to give Wu, Tu, and Ha to Junggar.
It turned out that the territory of the Turghut people was also given to him.
Originally, it would not be a loss to exchange half of the Ili Valley and Jakul Karawusu for the three cities of Wutuha in the east, but the problem is that now those three cities have become a mirror image.
Ming broke his promise.
And their reason was actually that Amulun rebelled against Yarkand and joined the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yihai said that they were also Mongols, and Mongols did not fight Mongols.
Zhu Yihai is the Great Khan of Mongolia. He treats all Mongolian Khans below equally and hopes that everyone will be peaceful and friendly.
Isn’t this fucking bullshit?
Now the Ming army provided Turpan Khan with muskets and even artillery, and directly organized and armed a 3,000-strong Jingsai cavalry, which was also a heavily armored musketeer cavalry.
With the help of the Ming army, Amulun regained all the lost land east of the Manas River and drove the Junggars to the west of the river. It blocked the desert to the north, the Manas River to the west, and the Tianshan Mountains to the south. This division was really a good plan.
.
But how can the Junggar people accept it?
Now Batur has gradually come to his senses. He was deceived by Gushi Khan, Che Chenye and Zhu Yihai before. He was deceived again and again. If he had been more determined, he would have used the tactics he used to deal with Turgut and Duer.
With Bert's ruthlessness and determination, Yili has long been Junggar's, and even the entire Oirat in the Western Region respects him.
After all, those cakes painted by Zhu Yihai were not eaten, but the Ili Valley was lost.
Now it is absolutely impossible for him to use the Manas River as the boundary to make peace with Turpan.
"How can we be convinced when His Majesty goes back on his word?" Batur stared at Zhu Shidong, with even a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
Zhu Shizhen saw it, but was not afraid.
"The Protector can't talk nonsense. It's best not to talk about things without evidence. Besides, regarding Turpan Khan's surrender to the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty has sent envoys to talk to Gushi Khan, Chechenye, Durbot Khan, and Turgut.
Khan, Kazakh Khan, etc. have all discussed it, and they all support His Majesty’s decision.”
"I don't accept it, and neither does Junggar!" Batur gritted his teeth and said word by word.
Zhu Shizhong pointed at Manas City in the distance and said domineeringly: "Three thousand armored and heavily cavalry Jingsai Army guarded Manas City, and there were hundreds of cannons. The governor thought that with this defeated army here, which had been defeated many times, we could
Can you cross this river and capture that city?"
"I advise the Protector to think twice before acting. The Protector has used troops several times and killed more than 5,000 young Junggar warriors. How many more can be sent?"
"Come here!" Batur Khan shouted, his eyes turned red, and he glared at Zhu Shizhu.
Several Junggar guards came on horseback.
Batur pointed his riding whip at Zhu Shizhu.
Zhu Shizhong laughed loudly, "Protector, think twice, don't be impulsive and regret later!"
Batur gritted his teeth so hard that he uttered the last sentence, "Send Zhu Sima across the river. The battlefield here is dangerous, so don't get hurt accidentally."
"I would also like to ask Yan Yanhou to tell your Majesty that there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between Junggar and Turpan. I also hope that your Majesty will not favor Amulun. The Junggar people do not like to be deceived."
Zhu Shizhong looked at the guard's hand on the handle of the knife, and felt relieved. He almost thought that Batur was going to kill him in anger, but it seemed that he didn't dare to break up right away.
"I will play for the Protector, but I still advise the Protector again and again to see the situation clearly and not to make mistakes."
Batur gritted his teeth, "It's easy to leave, but I won't send you away!"
"Farewell!"
Seeing Zhu Shizong's retreating back, Batur was so angry that he felt dizzy. The Ming army was blatantly playing tricks on Junggar and was determined not to let them advance eastward.
"Khan, what should we do now?"
Batur looked at Manas City in the distance, "Zhu Yihai thinks that just a few artillery pieces and a few thousand cavalry can stop us Junggar warriors? Since he wants to play this way, then we will stay with him until the end."
The Manas River is difficult to cross and Manas City is difficult to attack, so he will go around here. He plans to bypass the Shatuoqi Desert from the north, detour through Altay, and go upstream from the Ulungu River at Ulungu Lake, from Shatuoqi Desert.
Go south from the eastern edge of the Tuoqi Desert and attack the ancient city Qitai east of Urumqi. After seizing this oasis stronghold first, you can then attack Urumqi from behind. You can also divide your troops and go east to Barkol and Yiwu.
"Great Khan, what if the Ming Dynasty directly sends troops to intervene?"
Some princes and princes expressed concerns, and Ming Dynasty repeatedly warned that if they did not listen, more serious consequences would result.
Batur said bluntly: "If Zhu Yihai and Ming Guo can safeguard the interests of our Dzunggar people, we can also respect him as the Great Khan, but if he targets us like this or even assassinates us, then we will treat him as nothing."
Batur was very domineering when he said this. Although this man was very respectful to Zhu Yihai before, and even sent his daughter to the palace and his son to be a bodyguard, but since he took over the tribe, he has made marriage alliances with various tribes.
But he also punched Turgut and kicked Heshuote, and even once annexed Turbet.
When Zhu Yihai started to threaten Junggar, the man immediately stood up like a hedgehog with its sharp thorns.
"They started the war in the first place, we are just accompanying them to the end!"
Both Batur Khan and Duo Heqin were surnamed Choros, and his ancestors were the Grand Masters of Wala, who captured the Ming emperor and besieged the city of Beijing.
If possible, he wouldn't mind capturing another Emperor of Heaven and besieging Beijing again!
"Send people back to various tribes to recruit young and strong men from all tribes to join the expedition. This time, we want Zhu Yihai to understand that the Junggar people are not to be manipulated by him!" Batur clenched his fists and said.
