The Western Regions in early spring are still as cold as winter, and the temperature difference is also large. At the coldest night, it is even minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, and at the hottest day, it is minus 20 degrees Celsius.︽

The ambushers from all walks of life were waiting for many days. This climate did not cause much trouble to them who lived here, but they could not see Dage's troops.

The visitor was sent to inquire everywhere, and news came from Ilguchu, five hundred miles away, saying that most of the rebels gathered by Dageer had been disbanded, and only a few followers continued to follow Dageer.

Generals from all walks of life came back, and Xu Zhong analyzed that Dage's surrender might be true, and it would not be possible that the weather would either surrender or die, and the lonely wolf would not survive. As time goes by, the ambushed soldiers and horses inevitably began to complain.

On March 1, a team of more than 200 people rushed towards Kashgar. A wolf-headed flag was fluttering in the wind, and the big word "大" was particularly dazzling.

This group of dilapidated cavalry was running forward, bringing sand and dust all over the sky. Suddenly, a soldier rushed over from afar and blocked the way. It was the long-awaited general Ha Shan, the Huiren leader from Qinghai.

The soldiers under Hashan were all Arabic scimitars, with white cloth wrapped around their helmets, and some cavalry rode camels. Their armor was colorful and beautiful, just like traditional Middle Eastern cavalry. These weapons and armor came from Persia.

The invincible strength of the Ming Dynasty made the Hui people in Qinghai enthusiastically serve their loyalty. This is also the norm outside the Great Wall. The strong will always be strong and the weak will always be weak. The only way to make the people of all ethnic groups live in harmony is that the Han people themselves are strong.

General Ha Shan was ordered to lead troops to ambush on the front line. Before leaving, the general Xu Zhong repeatedly told him not to be reckless in his work. No matter whether Da Geer surrendered or not, as long as he came, he must seize the savage.

Xu Zhong could not let Dagele go for nothing, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the military and civilians. How to deal with it will be subject to the will of the emperor. According to the rules outside the Great Wall, he would pay for his blood debts and he would have to kill all his men.

Ha Shan remembered the instructions of his boss and did not dare to lead his troops to rush over. He just blocked the way and snorted coldly: "Who is the opposite person? Let the leader come and talk."

Before he finished speaking, a dark horse ran out of the other party. The horseman's thick beard covered half of his face, unable to see his age, so he hugged a fist and said, "Below is Dageer and Zhuo, who have been reformed and want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty."

"Oh." Hashan looked at him hostilely and asked, "Who are these people?"

"These are my subordinates and herdsmen, and they all want to return to their hometown." The visitor said, gesturing.

Heshan said, "Since that's the case, all of you put down your weapons and handed over the war horses. I will take you to Kashgar."

"No!" The person who was still kind just now suddenly became tough. "Although we are here to surrender, we surrendered to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. It is not you Hui tribes who rely on the power of the Han people to do their best. I will go directly to Kashgar to interview General Xu. Let us know the way out."

"Bold rebels, we are the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Why don't we get off the horse and be captured quickly?" Ha Shan sneered.

"You devils who betray Allah." The other party also sneered, "Raising up the butcher's knife and killing them at their brothers and sisters. You are not even as good as the Han people."

Ha Shan was a little annoyed and angrily scolded: "Bah! What are you talking nonsense?"

"Am I talking nonsense? What are your actions here? You should be very clear in your heart. How many innocent children have helped the Han people kill me in the army?" The other party said coldly again: "Not long ago, how many elders and sisters were slaughtered by your Batu for no reason?"

Hashan said in surprise: "What did you say? Batu slaughtered the people? Didn't he be killed by you?"

"Pretending." The other party raised the gold-inlaid sword in his hand and said sternly: "Let us put down our weapons and horses. If we put down the weapons in our hands, wouldn't we be slaughtered again by you like lambs? Let us make the way out quickly and I will interview General Xu."

"no!"

"No? OK, let's go back."

Seeing Ha Shan on the opposite side unmoved, with only more than 200 defeated soldiers, I dare to chase you Qianli if you dare to turn around. What about Yamato Zhuo? It is obviously a brutal Mongolian.

Sure enough, the other party did not leave, but continued to argue without giving in. Hegemony was also willing to delay time.

Suddenly, a group of people came out from a distance and rushed towards Dage and others.

In the blink of an eye, the formation of the rebels was dispersed by the soldiers. With an angry shout, the two sides immediately attacked each other, and the riders rushed to each other, and the people who were dismissed shouted and cursed, and a mess was in chaos.

Before Hashan could give the order, his subordinates could no longer help but scream and rush to rush to kill, waving the sharp scimitar. The order given by the above was to capture Dagel alive, so there was no need for the general to give the order, and he would definitely win by attacking himself from the front and back.

The people behind saw the brothers in front rushed up, and naturally thought they had given orders and rushed up excitedly.

"You bastards." Ha Shan was so angry that he cursed, lamenting that no matter how he trained, his subordinates could not get the orders of the regular official army.

Since the situation suddenly changed, he could not control himself. He had to follow him and catch a few live-actions while the chaos was in trouble, and then carefully interrogate and understand the truth about the annihilation of Batu.

From the conversation just now, Ha Shan realized that there was something hidden here, not what the local reports reported, so it was even more necessary to capture Dagele alive.

With a horse's belly in his arms, he himself joined the melee.

Horse riding and fighting are different from infantry fighting. Unless both sides want to fight to the death, the side with the disadvantaged number will not be able to stop foolishly, but will ride a horse and rush back and forth with their superb riding skills and sword skills. The side with the largest number will follow the method of encirclement, consume the enemy bit by bit, repeatedly besieging one person, and the big guys are circled around the open space.

The bows and arrows were of no use in the melee. As they were fighting, two fast horses rushed over and the knights shouted: "General Ha, a large group of rebels are besieging Kashgar City. The commander ordered you to withdraw your troops quickly and rush to help."

Hashan, who was chasing Dageer from afar, was shocked. At this moment, Kashgar was almost an empty city. The main force of the Ming army gathered in northern Tacheng to prepare for head-on battle with the Oirats who were provoking frequently. This is why Dageer was allowed. Xu Zhong had already led his troops back to Yili City to take charge and command.

All the troops were dispatched to ambush everywhere. Deputy General Chen Chong had no right to interfere with the general's orders, and the most elite militiamen in his headquarters were also transferred away.

"Oh no!" Ha Shan understood that Da Geer clearly used the Han people's strategy of "building a plank road openly and traveling to Chen Cang secretly". On the surface, he surrendered, but in fact he secretly inquire about the mobilization of troops. After so long, as long as the convoy transporting food and supplies could find ambushed people.

Dageer dispatched most of his troops to bypass the ambush and attack Kashgar. The importance of the location of Kashgar City is self-evident. If it is compromised by rebels, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, Hashan made a quick decision to order his troops to retreat to rescue Kashgar, and another group of troops continued to hunt down Dagel, and only a hundred rebels left were powerless to do anything about this.

Hashan and his brothers ran for eighty miles in a hurry.

Thousands of people outside the city were fighting fiercely. Corpse and horse corpses were everywhere, and ambushes from all directions arrived one after another.

The rebels in the fierce battle saw that the reinforcements from all walks of life had arrived and the hope of seizing Kashgar was shattered, so they immediately withdrew their troops and fled. Ha Shan, who was trapped in a desperate situation, was afraid of being ambushed on the way to pursue, so he did not dare to order to chase him, so he only let his subordinates shout loudly and let him escape far away.

After a melee ended, the battlefield was cleared. The casualties of the officials and soldiers of all races were far greater than those of the rebels. In order to prevent the rebels from attacking again, Ha Shan and his men defended on the spot.

On the top of the city, Liu Shan sighed: "These are all loyal people. I can't bear to watch them loyal to the country!"

Chen Chong said coldly: "I admit that they are all heroes. But during the Han and Tang dynasties, their ancestors were not loyal? Later, Lord Liu knew better than me, a rough man. There was no kindness of women here, so they and Dageer were not allowed to get blood feuds. Reducing the population from time to time is ultimately a problem for us."

"But it is against benevolence and righteousness in the end. What if they find out one day? What should I do?" Liu Shan asked in a deep voice.

"Nothing else." Chen Chong said softly: "Different and win over. All races live together here for thousands of years. Even the Mongols are not a monolithic part. There are religious conflicts and tribes. The Tajik tribe in Aiseti is sparsely populated, brave and good at fighting, and has been killed by major tribes, so they are most loyal to our Ming Dynasty. In short, in this place far from the Central Plains, what we trust most is our own tribe members, and the rest are not trustworthy."

"Oh!" Liu Shan sighed: "When will the revenge be repaid? Why can't everyone live in harmony? When will the killing end? What are the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions before? Only the ruins buried by the weathered sand."

Chen Chong also sighed: "Where are the Anbei Protectorate, the Anxi Protectorate and even the Andong Protectorate?"

A bustling capital thousands of miles away.

In all peaceful times, all dynasties have had headaches about the war-torn outside the border. They often have more than 100,000 people. The various materials consumed are shocking because of the long distance of the journey and are extremely heavy.

Xu Hao didn't take this seriously. First of all, he didn't know that the firewood and rice were expensive. Secondly, the number of people in the army was only 50,000, and the rest of the servants of various tribes were not under the jurisdiction of the court when they were fed horses.

Who is willing to fight, but it cannot be fought! The Ming Dynasty in history was so pressured from the north, and it was still inevitable that in a short period of peaceful times, swords and guns entered Kuma and put them in the Nanshan Mountains, and the combat effectiveness of the army plummeted.

Of course, Xu Hao's approach will not change the entire army. He is entirely out of strategic considerations. As long as he has the ability, he will continue to slowly expand outward, always maintain strategic initiative, and oppress the living space of foreign races as much as possible, perhaps it will be different from the end of Xuande retreating in history.

The general trend is a pattern of one's rise and the other's decline. Taking advantage of the current army's ability to fight, it is enough to ensure a minimum active attack without seeking to achieve the best efforts in one battle.

History is different. For example, the letters Xu Hao is holding now. In just 30 years, the population of Liaodong has increased to nearly five million.

"Far from enough." Xu Hao reminded Qiaoqiao in the letter not to be proud and complacent. You should know that after the Qing Dynasty opened its doors to the pass, the population outside the pass reached an astonishing 20 million in decades.

The current population is naturally not comparable to that of the Qing Dynasty. However, with the development of oil and the research of fertilizers, the increasing popularity of grain crops such as corn and continued to increase productivity, Xu Hao did not believe that the population would not experience explosive growth.

As long as there are lions, there are many people and great power. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, novels are better, updated and faster!
