Chapter 803: Take Hami
Fang Jiuling did not occupy the back of the army this time, but stood in front of the army with Lu Tiandong, and all the artillery had been arranged.
As long as Fang Jiuling ordered his life, he could attack the city wall in an instant, but Fang Jiuling decided to wait for a while to see how Du Ermu made the decision.
Fang Jiuling now adheres to one principle, that is, kill less animals, after all, the imperial court will stay here for a long time in the future.
If the local ethnic relations were tense, it would be extremely unfavorable to the rule of the court, so Fang Jiuling still tended to occupy the place without bloodshed.
In the past, we did not have such conditions, and now we have achieved all the victories on the periphery, which puts great pressure on the army in the city. As long as they have no brains, we can take over here very well.
Lu Tiandong was also very clear that after taking Hami, he might have to return to the Anxi Protectorate. According to the latest news, the Fourth Regiment of Guards of the imperial court had already come day and night.
At most, they can reach Hami in just three or two days.
My battlefield career is about to end, and I must win Hami before this, so that I can write my name on the credit book. Otherwise, it would be not that easy to build a construction project in the Western Regions in the future.
"Master, I'm a clever plan, and Durmu really came here with a small number of guards."
Lu Tiandong opened his mouth and said haha. He thought he would have to fight one more time, but he didn't think Fang Jiuling's strategy was correct.
Influenced by General Huang Degong, he believed that on the battlefield, he should rely on the gun to make a big land, but Fang Jiuling made him understand another way of fighting, which is to suppress people with power.
"Go and welcome it quickly, don't be rude."
Fang Jiuling said with a smile that before, we used majesty to make them happy, but now they have come out to surrender and will be their own people in the future, so that should be put away.
They have taken a crucial step, and we should also give them courtesy and can spread throughout the Western Regions in the future.
"General, please come here."
After hearing Lu Tiandong's words, Durmu thought he had heard it wrong. You should know that the last time we met, the two sides were still at a strife!
Durmu is already ready to be humiliated. After all, there is a saying in the Han people, that is, success, success, defeat, and now we will become prisoners of others immediately. Can we still expect others to give ourselves a good face?
After Duermu and Fang Jiuling met, Duermu looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Could it be that he said directly that he was here to surrender?
"The general has considered it. If it is done, I have an action plan here. Next, we will do our work according to this action plan."
Du Ermu was embarrassed to speak, and Fang Jiuling had to start talking. He did not use words such as surrender throughout the whole process, which could be considered as giving Du Ermu enough face.
In this situation, Durmu is not without strength, nor can he continue to fight. If he continues, there will be no good results, but it will only increase casualties.
Duermu took the action plan from Fang Jiuling, and the list was very detailed. The first thing was to disarm the soldiers in the city and ensure their lives and safety.
Just like the captured soldiers before, they all entered the prisoner-of-war camp outside the city, and then the entire city was taken over by the Ming army. Of course, the personnel and officials who were originally responsible for public security within the city remained temporarily unmoved.
Because Durmu made contributions to the city, the court said that he would not blame him before. Moreover, Durmu immediately became the prefect of Hami, so of course he would keep it for the time being. As for whether to be promoted or dismissed from office in the future, it depends on what this guy did.
"All what is said above is true?"
Du Ermu said with some disbelief that he was so embarrassed by the Ming army before. He originally thought that it would be the best to save his life, but he did not expect that he would continue to stay. Although he did not know what position the prefect of Hami was, he knew that he was still an official.
"This is of course true. Have you not seen the official documents here? The seal of the Anxi Protectorate has been printed. As long as it is reported to the current emperor to agree, it is enough. When I set out from the capital, the emperor once specifically instructed that the local officials under the Anxi Protectorate have the right to appoint them. As long as the general abides by his duties and serves the court with all his heart, the court will naturally not treat the general unfairly."
The reason why Fang Jiuling made such a promise was because he had investigated Duermu before. This guy did not do anything evil in the local area. He can be said to be the better of all the people in the Western Regions.
We have to find a partner in the local area, such as Li Neng in the past. If we don’t have local people leading the way, we may take many detours.
Therefore, Durmu is undoubtedly a good choice. Of course, it will take a slow investigation in the future. At this stage, it is still him.
"Please rest assured that my subordinate colleges and universities work hard all over Malaysia, but I have another one. Please help me treat my Uyghur brothers well in strict accordance with what this plan says."
Durmu said with some uncertainty, although in the 21st century, this was the place for their Uyghur people to live.
However, in today's era, the Mongolians are the kings here. When the Mongols and Han people were fighting, the Uyghurs could only survive in the cracks, so Durmu did not want the Uyghurs to become cannon fodder of the Ming Dynasty.
"My Ming court is not just talking and doing things, but spitting and nailing. Now that my Ming court has made a promise, if no special circumstances occur, it will definitely follow the form of black and white. Therefore, the general does not need to worry too much. My Ming court's promise has not been changed in the Seven Guards of Guanxi, so the general must have heard of it."
Fang Jiuling said confidently, which was also due to the fact that the policies his predecessor implemented in the Western Regions were intact, otherwise he would not dare to say this. Du Ermu was not without a few guards in other guards, so he also knew that what Fang Jiuling was saying was the truth.
"I wish to lead Hami to 280,000 men, women, young and old, and submit to the Ming court."
After asking everything clearly, Du Ermu did not hesitate at all and knelt directly in front of Fang Jiuling, and at the same time untied his sword. From now on, he became a civil servant, and it would be useless to ask for this thing.
The guards behind him also knelt down at the same time, Hami Guards...
Take down...
