The Ming army won Yilibali City without bloodshed, and it felt comfortable behind it. It could have sufficient food and grass supply to Yilihei, which borders the Kazakh Khanate.

The city lord of Yili Bali actually wanted to fight a battle with the Ming army who came from afar. Who would be willing to give up power?

It was the Ming Dynasty Mongolian light army begging the city for food, which made him lose his mind and confused.

Whenever an army fights, it is always a matter of life and death, and you should not easily talk about war.

The enemies who eat and drink are stronger and more energetic. If they come from afar, they will retreat. If they cannot conquer for a long time, they may not be unable to win. With a few soldiers to defend the city, they may not be unable to win.

But enemies who are hungry are different. If you look at them a hundred years ago, enemies like this are not afraid. If you leave them under the city for three days, you will have internal conflicts.

Now the Zhejiang Army has set up a hundred cannons under the city, and it is obvious that it is a disagreement and will bombard the city. They will not leave without capturing this city because they are hungry.

There is Jiayuguan at the east end. From there to here, there is only Hami, Tubo and Yili Bali to have food. When the Ming army walked here, it was obvious that both cities in front had changed hands.

The city lord lived at such an age that he had seen artillery once in Samarkand in his early years. He heard that the sky would collapse and the earth would break when fired.

No one knows whether the sky collapses or the earth cracks.

But everyone knows that he will break apart when he fights stubbornly.

Since the city lord surrendered, Yili Bali City was busy with energy inside and outside, and there were endless troops stationed in different ways. The families of light soldiers drove away cattle, sheep, horses and horses and blocked the Yili River Valley.

There are many ethnic groups and tribes living on the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, but the living standards of the Yerkand people here are obviously not as good as those in Aksu on the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. It is not that they have no land to farm, but the Yili River Valley has vast fields and grasslands, which are enough for them to farm and grazing.

Yarkand has also gradually completed the transformation from Mongolian Turkic nomadism to farming in recent decades.

To be honest, for the local people, there is only one shortcoming here under the rule of Yarkand.

The Ming army could not feel it outside the city. When they were stationed for a few days, the people's attitude towards them became strange. They were so polite, so polite that they were grateful.

Moreover, the grateful direction made the thousands of households of the Ming Mongolian Light Army confused. They actually praised the Ming army's military discipline, which was ashamed.

Indeed, the Zhejiang Army was not a corrupt army that had borrowed fellow villagers to lead military achievements in their hometowns. They had Qi Jiguang's military laws hanging over their heads.

What is Qi Jiguang's military law level?

It is impossible to complete a normal person as a teacher and let sixty people in the class hand in their homework. He can make no one leave the team during the process of pulling out the camp to marching in the camp, and no one leaves the team even if he wet his pants.

And even if the soldier urinated his pants, he still beat him to respect and love him from the bottom of his heart.

But the generals below could not cover up the hungry Mongolian light troops.

The limit that the generals can restrain is that they will not ruin people and not burn houses. If it is considered good to not burn houses, then they are indeed good to have good military discipline.

Forty thousand Ming troops moved to Yili Bali, but no one of them was burned.

The people respected them so much that the unreality brought to Qi Jiguang and others was too strong. Qi Jiguang ordered his subordinate commander four times to be ordered by Qianhou Yixian to guard against them and not give them any gifts. Even if they had a grain of rice, Burke had to pay for them to buy them.

When buying, you have to check the grain and see the water source.

I am afraid that others will poison them, and this is too hasty to choose the excuse that is close to them. Just like the starved ghost of the Mongolian Light Army, the reincarnated ghost, can this be called military discipline?

The people of Yili Bali really had no conspiracy, they just supported Mingjun from the bottom of their hearts.

It is not entirely a problem with the rulers of the Yarkand Khanate. The main reason is that this matter has not lost any losses to them and is beneficial to them.

Yarkand has been on the decline over the years, mainly because of the nomadic lifestyle of farming and settlement. They do not have much population and they cannot fully utilize the vast arable land.

Therefore, after changing farming production, although some laborers were liberated and they also began to mine and mine, but without the transition time, it seemed a bit militant.

The military power of farming countries is strong because of the large population and high productivity. Before Yarkand could give birth to the population, the tribal people became soldiers and recruited soldiers. The farmers were neglected to train, and the military power became weaker.

But they have been in war. In their early years, they fought with the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, gathered the Eastern Chagatai, and continued to fight with the Kazakh Khanate in the west. Their brothers and khans in their families have been fighting over and over again. The people paid a lot of taxes and fought against each other.

I won the house and lost my life.

The people who would fight against the Yarkand Khanate and themselves all had the bad habits of the nomadic tribes in the west, and regarded plunder and massacre as glory.

The Ming Dynasty used the heads of fellow villagers to lead military achievements. People knew it was a sign of bad luck. Even if the army did this, no one dared to say it... because this was their personal behavior. It was both illegal and moral condemned, which was a shame for fear of war and harming the people.

But it is different in the west. Including the Yarkand Khanate, people do this like eating and drinking water.

The brothers and several great knights fought each other and killed the people. It was a collective act, starting from the Khan's order, the soldiers below happily executed them.

Until the Ming army came to the city.

The sledge soldiers with no wolves braids approached, their nostrils reached the sky, standing at the door but not talking.

The common people in the countryside were reluctant to leave, and when they were ready to steal his house, they stepped over his body first, and their daughter was holding scissors in the house to commit suicide.

The leading Han captain stepped forward and slapped the soldier in the head from behind: "Speak."

"I!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, his momentum naturally became three points shorter. He was discouraged and said, "I want to eat a chicken. Can I sell it to me? I don't have money, so I can exchange it for it."

As he said that, he spread his palms reluctantly and handed out a ring.

He said the weakest words in the most awesome manner, and fooled the people: "The chicken is here, take it away."

The Ming army came over without any harm to the people. On the contrary, the masters in the past became slaves of Han generals, and the wife in the past became maids of Han generals. Burke of the Turks gave up his official title and accepted the Han official position of the Ming Emperor Khan. Now they are all called chief clerks and official posts.

The people... don't think there is anything wrong with this.

On the contrary, Han officers took advantage of their actions, and the people all pointed their heads and found out where the Ming army was going. Until someone was arrested and forced to confess, they realized that they wanted to find out the direction of the Ming army, to join the army or serve as a guide for the Ming army.

In particular, they advised the army to continue to advance westward and fight to the west to the Yibohai to deal with the Kazakh Khanate that bullied them. They all recognized the way and could serve as guides, and were familiar with local merchants and people, and could also be internal supporters.

He also persuaded the Heavenly Army to take time to go south and save his compatriots in Aksu.
