Chapter five hundred and fifty eight: Taming the hungry wolf
The 10,000 infantry army began to advance westward and gradually reached the edge of the desert... It was extremely quiet. On the other side, the army of the Junggars did not encounter any cavalry flowing into the desert along the way. Although the Junggar scouts showed many activities of Han cavalry, it was obvious that the Han cavalry had disappeared before the Junggars appeared. The Junggars entered Liaodong from Eastern Mongolia. The 100,000 infantry of the Ming army entered the desert from Shanhaiguan area. When Galdan heard the news that the main force of the Ming army had entered the desert, Galdan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Since the main force of the Ming army had entered the desert, Liaodong was naturally empty. He repeatedly ordered the speed up and it was impossible to hide his intention from the Ming army, because the only way was to kill the city of Chenyang as quickly as possible. Take down Chenyang in one fell swoop and destroy the rear of the Ming army.
For Galdan, the key to victory or defeat is the degree. For this reason, he killed several Mongolian men who fell behind. In this way, 100,000 Mongolian soldiers were frightened and sleepless day and night. They passed through Eastern Mongolia at an extremely fast speed and entered Liaodong. Then they rushed towards Chenyang. What puzzled Galdan was that after entering Liaodong, they did not encounter any resistance. Often, they encountered a small city. The Ming army had already withdrawn, and even the grain in the warehouse was transported out, and no straw was left behind. Galdan understood. The Ming army probably knew about his actions, but he still had to continue to bet for nothing. But at this moment, he had no way out and the grassland had been destroyed. If he stayed on the grassland to defend, he might have frozen to death and starved to death in the upcoming winter. Since that is the case, it would be better to let go, at least there is hope.
In Chenyang City, only the guards guarded the city. After a few days, the scouts in front finally came back and sent accurate information. The Junggars had entered Liaodong and could reach Chensha City for up to two days. The originally quiet Chenyang City suddenly became nervous, and the mood of preparing for war spread. Close the four doors tightly to cover the trap. Above the city of the city wall, new cannons were set up on the newly built fortress, and everything was ready, just waiting for Galdan to take the bait.
Zhu Jun sat comfortably in Guansui Palace, Shenyang Imperial Palace. In this palace where Nurhaci had moved countless manpower and material resources while he was in a state of great power, Zhu Jun was meeting Chong'an, the chief of Tungus who rushed from the pass.
Chong'an gave Zhu Jun an old bone with a face, then asked for an An An, then touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and said, "The emperor is eager to recruit a slave. The slave is in Gaoyouzhou. When he heard the emperor's summons, he came day and night."
Zhu Jun raised his legs and looked at Chong'an for a moment, and finally his eyes fell on Chong'an's back: "What? Where is the braid behind Lian's chief's head?"
Chong'an's back of his head was bare. When he heard Zhu Jun's question, he hurriedly said, "Report to the emperor. I've cut it. Didn't the emperor say it? This braid is a symbol of slavery. Now I'm afraid even a five-foot child knows it. I don't know where the old slave is. I think that the emperor must not like braids, so I cut it simply."
Zhu Jun curled his lips and smiled: "How is the project in Chong'an now?"
"Report to the emperor, the railway tracks are almost paved. However, to connect the railway tracks in Jiangbei and Jiangnan, it is still necessary to build a bridge in the Yangtze River. The Ministry of Works has invited the mother-in-law to draw the drawings. The stone, steel bars and cement are all ready, so we will wait for the ground to break down."
"So quickly?" Zhu Jun sighed in his heart. It is much better to make a slave work than to recruit workers. As long as the slave eats a meal, he can whip the moss at will and can do it day and night. This worker requires wages. You can't beat him. If you hit him, you can throw the burden away and run away. Wouldn't you stop working? Daily work must also have a time limit. Unless you have double the wages after the time limit, no one is willing to do it. The difference between this is really big.
"I did a good job. If you have a reward, I will reward you, the chieftain, with a thousand taels of silver. Okay, Lian asked you to give you a thousand people to come outside the pass. Lian is now fighting with the Mongolian people. After the war is over, I hope to build a railway on this grassland and Liaodong and Beiting Protectorate. The construction period should be fast. There must be no delay. These three will build a railway network and then connect it to the pass. It is connected to the railway tracks in the pass. You can rest assured to do business. You can live here for a few days. After Galdan suppresses the peace, you will accompany the Grand Secretary Zhou Mubai to Mongolia to detect the terrain. I believe you have done such a few days of engineering. You should have some insights into the project.
"I dare not, but I have no opinions. I follow the emperor and the Grand Secretary of Zhou.
Chong'an became a little uncomfortable when Zhu Jun praised him. This master always saw him harshly, why did he treat him so well now? He didn't dare to have any inappropriate thoughts. He was foolish and thought that he had come to the Holy Family. He only looked at this "King of Hell, don't be angry."
In the past year, Chong'an, as the chief of Tungus, actually lived a pretty good life. Although a minor official from the Ministry of Revenue could suppress him and scold him in person because of the non-compliance with the project, he also had several mankinds under his command. Of course, it was not his turn to do those dirty and tiring work. The court gave the rations for the laborers. He, the general and the foreman, could also get a piece of the pie. He didn't make much money every month, but it was not a few thousand taels of money. The most important thing is that among the mankind, he had the absolute authority of Gaodan's life and death power, and the taste of this right. It was much better than the former prince who had no power, thinking back then.
On the surface, he was a prince, but there were a lot of princes in the capital, such as Gongbo, Marquis, Generals of the State, and more than dogs in the capital. Although he Chong'an was noble and those little masters were flattering him, he had no right to deal with others. It was the first time he had experienced the taste of life and death and power in most of his life. That feeling really made him reluctant to leave. What is the use of being a slave to others? Kangxi, I was still his uncle, and he was still the master's master shouting. He was enlightened, and people were still more practical, and those who were empty. On the surface, what is the use of being a slap?
"Okay, then you go down, Zhu Jun waved his hand.
”
Baikhak had arrived in Shenyang with five thousand light cavalry. Under the towering city wall, Baikhak did not dare to let the soldiers approach. As for the Han people, Shixian, he had heard some merchants traveling to and from the desert say that Baikhak was a cautious person. As the former leader of the Kazakh Khanate, he was able to lead his tribesmen to survive in the Western Xinjiang where there were many powerful people. It was precisely because of his prudence that all the five thousand light cavalry were his tribesmen. Since surrendering to Galdan, Galdan seemed extremely tolerant of these Kazakhs who did not belong to the Mongolian tribes. He gave Baikhak a lot of rewards, and appointed him as the little king, giving him a lot of land to the Kazakhs.
The Kazakhs originally lived on the plateau. Because they occupied the westernmost part of Central Asia, these people were called "guardians on the border who lived in the Central Asian area at that time. The free and easy warriors later failed to resist the attacks of the Isedones and Sky from the East. These nomadic races had to leave their homes and migrate south to north of Persia. In the 18th century BC, these people moved north again, and now their former homes had been occupied by the Alan people on the powerful horse's back. They moved up to the area of Nagistabu, and in the sixth and seventh centuries BC, they were assimilated by the Alan people in the local Alan people.
Another important race related to Kazakh history is Wusun. In the early years of the Chiath Chronicle BC, Wusun and Yuezhi were both nomads between Dunhuang and Qilian in Gansu, and were adjacent to the Xiongnu in the north.
The king of Wusun, Nandoumi, was attacked by Yuezhi. His son Liejiaomi had just been born. He was adopted by the Huns Maodun Chanyu and was later able to revive his homeland. In the year of Chu, Maodun Chanyu attacked Yuezhi. Yuezhi was defeated and moved west to the Yili River Basin. He drove away the Sai people who had been nomadic in the area for a long time. Later, the old Shang Shanyu and Wusun Kunmo Liejiaomi worked together to attack the Yuezhi that moved to the Yili River Basin. Yuezhi was defeated and gradually moved south to the Daxia territory, but a few people still stayed in the local area. After the Sai people and most of the Yuezhi went south, Wusun gave up his hometown between Dunhuang and Qilian, and moved to the Yili River Basin to the Yili River Basin to meet the Yuezhi who remained.
During the Mongolian expedition, the Kazakhs, who were later renamed the Qincha tribe, formed a coalition with Russia, and carried out tenacious resistance, but finally could not stop the Mongolian cavalry thugs. After conquering Qincha and the entire Duchy of Russia, Badu established the Golden Horde, because the Khanate was dominated by the Qincha people, so it was also called the Qincha Khanate. The Golden Horde soon divided the White Horde on its eastern territory.
At this point, the Kazakhs began to wander around. In Western Xinjiang, they established the Kazakh Khanate, which can also be called the Balandu Hei Khanate. They occupied a huge territory and the area they lived in was called the Qincha Grassland. They were divided into Dayuzi, Zhongyuzi, Xiaoyuzi, also known as Daguan, Zhongguan, small guan. Zhongguan is in the current highlands of Kazakhstan. The small guan is in the Ural River to the Caspian Sea, and the large guan is in the Barkh Lake to Turkestan. They also absorbed many Nogai people. They reached the Erthis River in the east, the Ishm River in the north, Turgai Prefecture, Omsk, the Caspian Sea in the west, and the Chu.
The military power of the Hebalandu Hei Khan era was the people in the army. The population of the Kasmu Khan era was more than one million and the troops were 300,000. The country was in full swing for a while, and this period was also the period of great expansion of the Kazakh Khanate. However, not long after, the Khanate gradually split and the Junggars invaded in large numbers. At that time, the Junggars were still the father of Galdan. He led the Junggars to fight the Kazakh Khanate that was split in Western Xinjiang for five years. The Kazakhs called these five years an era of catastrophe. In the end, the Kazakh Khanate was destroyed, and the Kazakhs could only migrate in the west.
After Galdan inherited his father's status, his strength became stronger. Some of the Kazakh tribes living in Western Xinjiang were determined to resist, while others were like Baihak. For the survival of the tribe, Baihak, as a tribal leader, turned to Galdan without hesitation.
In terms of personal courage, Baihak is definitely the leader in Western Xinjiang. He has extraordinary arm strength and has fought alone with three wolfs. He has been circulated by the herdsmen in Western Xinjiang. In addition, he is cautious. It is precisely because of this that Gar just now, so he asked Baihak to lead his headquarters as a pioneer.
Baihak, who arrived at the city of Chenyang, did not make any orders to attack the city. On the one hand, he asked someone to report to the Junggar army that followed, and on the other hand, he asked someone to camp in the forest in the distance. Baihak is not an idiot. He knows his responsibilities and also knows the strength contained in Chenyang City. For him, his responsibilities are just to threaten the army to talk about the military route and eliminate Fayang City. His mission has been completed. There is no need to curse the shield tribe to bleed.
Baihak sat on the seat of the big tent, which was completely yurt-style. Mongolian and Uyghur beauties sang and danced on the dance floor. The girl from Turpan and Kuche knelt on his legs to give him muscle massage. She felt a little drunk on Baihak's head. He was a smart man, knowing to advance and retreat, and Kong Wu was powerful, and knew how to enjoy it. He drank a glass of wine brought by Xijiang, and at this time he was drunk and said to the generals under the tent: "Look, Dahan's life is probably not as good as me."
These generals and Zuo are all members of the Baihak tribe. Therefore, it is nothing to be more presumptuous here. The group of generals in the golden tent fart: "General, why not just sweat all night, let's be your ministers again.
Baihak laughed drunk: "It's not good, if the Khan knows, we will destroy the clan."
I didn't think too much about it with the alcohol. It seemed that they were all people with great sensuality and wine bags. They even knelt down to Baihak at the same time: "Great Khan, I'm safe!"
Baihak laughed: "Oh, haha, okay! Then I'll sweat a lot."
Baihak was originally the prince of the Kazakh Khanate back then. In addition, Kong Wu was powerful, brave and resourceful. Although he was under Galdan, it was impossible to say that he had no ambitions. He served Galdan carefully and drank a few glasses of wine. Suddenly he had the courage to immediately give the joking to the joking ranks. The generals who were discriminated against by the Junggars have now transformed into Wanqi, Li Xiaowang, and equal senior officials. They were one pound. A stunning martial arts hugged the beauty and regarded himself as a high-ranking official. The atmosphere in the tent reached **.
"General," A Kazakh soldier stumbled into the tent, diluting the originally warm atmosphere a lot, causing the glare of many generals. Baihak sobered up a little and frowned: "What's going on?"
"The Khan's army is here, just twenty miles away
"Ah?" The luminous cup in Baihak's hand accidentally fell to the ground: "It's coming so quickly? Quickly. Let your brothers line up, and generals above the thousand-man commander follow me to greet the Khan,
Galdan held his hands, looked at Baihak who was kneeling alone, stepped on the stirrup and raised his whip:
"Is there really only tens of thousands of Han people in Chenyang City?"
"Reporting to the Khan, you will never be wrong. I will use my head to guarantee it." Baihak had already woken up at this time and reported the military information to Galdan.
"Well," Galdan nodded thoughtfully, the situation was better than he expected. He pointed to Baihak and said, "You, take your tribe members to the city to challenge and see if the Han people dare to come out."
"Yes." Baihak.com was about to turn around. He glanced at him, but saw a Kuche female slave who had just served him in the big tent and a Tashi Doji who was beside Galdan, whispering something. His head buzzed and suddenly became chaotic. What happened? How could this female slave appear here? He should be in his big tent. Who sent her? Could it be that she escaped alone? A cold sweat broke out in his back. What was the female slave talking to that lama? Could it be that he was just himself,"
"Bayhak," Galdan's dissatisfied scream came from his ears: "Why are you here to do it?"
"Yes." Baihak woke up at this moment. He didn't dare to delay and was even more frightened by Galdan. He suddenly understood that this female slave was probably the secret spy installed by Galdan. He remembered this female slave very clearly. He bought it from the leader of all tribes. How did Galdan sleep next to him? Moreover, there was a more important question. How many spies like the female slaves were around him? He was so shocked that he was covered in cold sweat and walked stiffly.
Before Baihak's figure left, Tashi Dorji had already walked to Galdan with an unpredictable expression and whispered: "The female slave has some interesting stories to tell for the Khan."
Galdan sneered: "Isn't it very interesting now? Look at the former Kazakh warrior, look, he can't even walk steadily." Baihak's figure staggered in the distance, finally found a horse, rode his horse to summon his troops to test attacks against Chenyang.
Tashi Dorji also laughed: "Sweat, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep tonight."
"I guess yes, taming the hungry wolf is really interesting. OK, the joke has been made. After a while, I will send an envoy to tell him that his khan will be promoted to him, and in addition, I will give him twenty kilograms of gold, and well, there are five female slaves." Galdan's face was mysterious.,
The war will start tomorrow, basically that's it. Russia will be in a few days.
