The capital of the Turpan Khanate is called Anle City, located in the eastern part of the Tianshan Mountains, which is surrounded by mountains, and the altitude of a considerable part of the area is even lower than the sea level, so it is called the Turpan Basin. Turpan is a typical warm temperate continental desert climate, the sunshine is sufficient, the wind is strong, but the temperature is high, there are more than 100 days of the year The temperature is higher than 35 degrees, it is simply a big stove, no, it should be said that the big hot pot is more appropriate, because it is a basin, from the sky bird's eye view, it is clearly a big iron pot.

The predecessor of the Turpan region was the Cheshi State, in the Mengyuan period, the Yuan Taizu Genghis Khan divided the sons, and the Turpan area became the territory of the Chagatai Khanate, and then there was the current Eastern Chagatai Khanate - Turpan.

The current Great Khan of the Turpan Khanate is named Man Suer, as mentioned earlier, Man Suer is a typical war maniac, believing in Islam, and during his reign, he launched several "holy wars" against the Ming Dynasty, and gradually annexed the Guanxi Seven Guards of the Ming Dynasty.

What is Kansai Shichie?

The so-called Seven Guards of Guanxi refers to the seven guards set up by Chengzu Zhu Di in the west of Jiayuguan (including northwest Gansu, northern Qinghai, and eastern Xinjiang), because the commanders of these seven guards are all Mongolian nobles who surrendered, so they are also called Mongolian Seven Guards, respectively: Andingwei, Aduanwei, Qu Xianwei, Handongwei, Shazhouwei, Chijin Mongolia, and Hamiwei.

From the time of Hongzhi, Turpan had the idea of fighting the Ming Guanxi Seven Guards, until the third year of Jiajing, that is, the period when Xu Jin killed the Quartet on the southeast coast, and the Ming Guanxi Seven Guards had all fallen into the hands of Turpan.

However, Man Suer was obviously not satisfied with this, further violated Jiayu Pass, the soldiers pointed directly at Suzhou and Ganzhou, and kept sending troops to harass and loot in the Ming Dynasty, and even captured Jiayu Pass some time ago, and almost took Suzhou, fortunately, Xie Sangun and Pei Lao Ruffian met at the right time, and led the troops to kill and retreat the Turpan army and relieve the danger of Suzhou.

At this moment, in the royal palace of Turpan Anle City, Man Suer Khan was sitting on the sweat seat with a gloomy face, and there was a group of civil and military ministers below, and there was a big man in front of the sweat seat who was tied up with five flowers, trembling and kneeling there to beg for mercy.

This kidnapped man is called Yalan, about forty years old, is a member of the general under the command of Mansuer Khan, not long ago he led the troops to capture Jiayu Pass, but people are not as good as the sky, Yalan could have made great contributions, but unfortunately he met Xie Sangun and the old ruffian, in the end not only did not get much benefit, but also lost the army, and all the siege equipment was lost, including three artillery.

It was precisely because of the defeat that Man Su'er Khan was furious, so he cut off Yalan's post and ordered someone to tie him up and ask him for guilt.

"Yalan, Ben Khan handed over the most elite cavalry to you, and handed over the best siege equipment to you, and you, even if you can't take Suzhou, you even suffered a big defeat, and lost all Ben Khan's siege equipment, waste, how can you let Ben Khan forgive you." Man Su'er reprimanded angrily, and all the civil and military forces in the hall were silent, and no one dared to intercede for Yalan.

Yalan's face was like ashes, and he said tremblingly: "Respected Great Khan, his subordinates deserve death, but the Ming army doesn't know where it came from, and the subordinates are attacking Suzhou City with all their might, and the Ming army suddenly attacked from behind, and was defeated and retreated in a hurry." Please give your subordinates another chance, and their subordinates will definitely be able to atone for their sins. ”

Man Su'er said coldly: "No need, Ben Khan doesn't need a loser, even if he only fails once, but, for the sake of you who have made a lot of contributions to Ben Khan, Ben Khan can spare your life, and since then you have been demoted to a centurion, take it down!" ”

With a wave of his hand, Yalan was escorted out of the main hall by the soldiers.

Man Su'er looked at the other general in the hall expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Huli Na us, you will replace Yalan in the future." ”

This military general named Huli Na'er is about thirty years old, with deep eyes and high nose, long hands and long feet, and eyes like an eagle. ”

Man Su'er nodded and said: "Go, find out the origin of the Ming army as soon as possible, Ben Khan wants the head of the general, and pay tribute to the dead warriors under Ben Khan." ”

"Yes, the subordinates will definitely let the Great Khan get his wish!" Hu Li Na'er confidently slapped his right fist to his chest, then turned and strode away.

At this time, an old man who looked like a civil servant walked out, this person's name was Abla, who was the wise man and courage of Man Su'er, and I saw him stroking his chest to Man Su'er on the seat, and then said: "Respected Great Khan, Tatar Great Khan I have come to take refuge in the past, should you meet me?" Perhaps he knew the origin of that Ming army. ”

It is said that after I escaped that day, I only led a dozen personal soldiers to flee all the way south, and finally fled into the territory of Turpan, entered Hami City, and showed my identity and intention to the magistrate, and then was sent by the magistrate to Anle City, the capital of Turpan.

If in the past, as a person, Man Suer might have warmly welcomed, but now I am just a lost dog, with no money, no soldiers, and Man Suer can't be interested in meeting him, plus the front has suffered a defeat, Man Suer is not in the mood to answer.

However, at this time, when Abra mentioned Alta, he reminded Mansuer, and he nodded and said, "Bring Alta to Ben Khan." ”

Soon, I was taken to the side hall where Man Suer usually meets guests, and waited anxiously for Man Su'er to receive him.

It is estimated that Man Su'er was intent on drying it, and the latter waited in the side hall for half an hour, but Man Su'er still did not appear, but drank a stomach of inferior tea.

Alas!

I couldn't help but sigh, thinking that he I had also been a powerful figure, but now he ended up like a lost dog, sending people under the fence, angry everywhere, but "people are poor and short-minded, horses are thin and long", in order to save their lives, for three meals and one night, they can only swallow their anger.

Just when I replied to myself and felt sorry for myself, Gu Ying was sad, Man Su'er finally appeared, he opened his hands and said enthusiastically: "I'm sorry, Ben Khan is busy with government affairs, so I have been waiting for a long time." ”

I replied hurriedly stood up, stroked my chest and said, "I replied to give a salute to Man Su'er Khan." ”

Man Su'er smiled, gave me a strong hug, and said with a smile: "Brother I don't have to be polite, please take a seat." ”

The two sat down again, exchanged a few words of greetings, and Man Su'er pretended to be surprised: "Why did Brother I end up in this field?" ”

I replied with a sigh and said with a wry smile: "I replied that the bad luck made Man Suer Khan smile, and now he is desperate to be chased and killed by the Ming army, so I have to come to Mansu Khan You!" ”

A look of contempt flashed in Man Su'er's eyes, but he asked suspiciously: "Brother I answer is the Great Khan of Tatars, and his soldiers are strong and strong, why is he not defeated by the Ming army?" According to Ben Khan, the combat power of the Ming army was not worth a damn, and it was just a herd of lambs that relied on high walls for protection. ”

I replied that he was not angry, and now he has no angry capital, and said seriously: "I don't know what Mansuer Khan has, the current Ming army is not what it used to be, not only the firearms are sophisticated, but also the combat power is strong, compared to the Ming army of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, especially the coach Xu Jin, this person uses soldiers like a god, known as Xu Changsheng, has experienced a hundred battles, has not tasted a defeat so far, this Khan is really not an opponent." ”

Man Su'er pursed his lips disapprerovingly, thinking that it was just me to boast about the Ming army too much for the sake of face.

Man Su'er's disdainful expression made me very annoyed, however, Man Su'er didn't believe that the Ming army was strong, if this guy was afraid of the Ming army, but it was not good for him, let him be arrogant, hehe, it is better to fight with the Ming army immediately, the deeper the enmity, the better, then he will be safe.

Man Suer and I talked for a while and then I was not interested, let people take me down to settle down, the other party was a hero, and now although it is in trouble, it is still worth waiting for the price to sell, anyway, it doesn't cost much rice to raise.

After Man Su'er sent me away, he summoned the think tank Abla to him and said: "Ben Khan has just talked to me about it, this person is useless, just keep it so that you don't starve to death, hey, a waste." ”

Abla frowned and said: "The Great Khan's words are very inappropriate, I answered that he commanded the Tatars at a young age, and he had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, which is stronger than our Turpan, and it is said that this person even attacked the capital of the Ming Dynasty, how can it be a waste?" ”

Man Su'er said disapprehantly: "If the capital of the Ming Dynasty is under the nose of Ben Khan, Ben Khan can also take it, not to mention that I did not occupy the capital of Daming in the end, but was driven out of the pass by the Ming army." Hehe, hundreds of thousands of troops, in just a few months, were beaten to the ground by the Ming army, and finally became a lost dog, fleeing for their lives in all directions, this is not a waste, how is it a waste? ”

Abla was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "The Great Khan's words are not unreasonable, but the Ming army defeated Alta, and then defeated Weng Guochu of Warat, and the combat power should not be underestimated, and it must not be taken lightly, and his subordinates thought that the Ming army that defeated Yalan was very likely to come from the direction of Warat." ”

Man Su'er's face finally became solemn, he didn't know much about the combat power of the Tatar cavalry, but he still knew the combat power of the Warats, he had personally led his troops to fight a few battles with the Varat's Oros Division, and he couldn't take advantage of it!

"Then I answer this hot potato, can Ben Khan pick it up?" Full Speed groaned for a moment.

Abla smiled bitterly and asked, "Does the Great Khan think there is a difference between receiving and not answering?" ”

Man Su'er couldn't help but laugh and said: "There is really no difference, no matter what, if the Ming army dares to attack, Ben Khan will teach him to come and go." ”

Turpan and the Ming Dynasty itself is a hostile country, Turpan occupies the seven guards of Guanxi, not long ago broke through the Jiayu Pass, killed the defenders there, the enmity between the two countries is great, even if there is no answer, the Ming army will definitely not be polite to Turpan, the so-called debt is not worried, lice are not itchy, and it is not bad to take in my answer.
