Chapter 702: Tulupan is willing to surrender
Because Jiayuguan is adjacent to Tulupan and close to Yarkand, the border army in Suzhou has always dared not slack off in training, and the food and salary on the hair are sufficient, and Lu Yi, the general soldier of Gansu, naturally refused to let the soldiers idle.
Today's Nine-Sided Soldiers have not only been replaced with front-loading rifled guns, grenades, and steel cannons, but even their armor has been replaced with more flexible and defensive steel sheet armor.
Along the way, Luo Shizhong, a general of Suzhou, has been worried, after all, their actions have not been officially issued by the imperial court and the transfer order of troops, but only because of a piece of paper stamped with letters privately printed by Liu Hongjian and Zhu Ci.
Rashly attacking neighboring countries is something that has never happened in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty ruled the world with Confucianism, and Confucianism is famous for its emphasis on teachers, otherwise it will not be said that it is not in line with the etiquette, and it will be criticized by the people of the world.
It wasn't until a day later that he got the military order of Lu Yi, the chief soldier of Gansu Town, that Luo Shizhong let go of his worries, Lu Yi's order was very concise, and he cooperated with Gu Jia and Xie Xinghua with full authority, and he Lu Yi took care of something wrong.
Lu Yi is not like Luo Shizhong, who is afraid of wolves and tigers, he was born in the army, he was a poor and white peasant, and he was able to become this general soldier after the destruction of the army, thanks to Liu Hongji's eclecticism and trustworthiness.
He knew the relationship between Gu Jia and Liu Hongji, and also knew Gu Jia's status in the martial arts hall, the second child of his family was still training in the martial arts hall, and he heard that he had entered the palace tiger camp.
Then what else to say, you must follow His Royal Highness the county king to the letter!
Luo Shizhong's 10,000 Suzhou defenders were high-spirited, and they arrived at the city of Hami in only two days.
Although Turpan fought endlessly a hundred years ago because of the city of Hami, but after decades with the Ming Dynasty has always been well water does not interfere with the river water, now the Ming Dynasty does not declare war, where does Dili Leng Ba have time to deploy.
“……%&! #"Di Ri Lengba lay on the battlements and shouted at the Ming army under the city.
"What do you say? I don't understand! Song Qianhu, pull out your cannon and blast the city gate open for this official! Xie Xinghua didn't understand the bird language spoken by General Hami.
Even if he understands him, he doesn't plan to take care of it, and now he has to send it when the arrow is on the string, regardless of his thirty-seven-twenty years, let's talk about it first.
Boom, boom, boom
The long-lost cannon fire began to roar again, and Hami opened the city gate half an hour ago to welcome merchants from all over the world, and the defender Dililenba did not have time to seal the city gate at all, and the thirty cannons only attacked in one round, and the city gate of Hami City no longer existed.
Luo Shizhong gave an order, and the five thousand iron horsemen of the Ming Dynasty rushed into Hami City like a swarm.
Because of Gu Jia's entrustment in advance, the Ming soldiers shouted the slogan that those who surrender will not be killed after entering the city, but the Hami defenders did not understand at all, and encountered unprecedented resistance when the Ming army climbed the city wall.
This the Ming soldiers.
"Mali, tell the brothers, get on the grenade and blow him up!" Han Li, the thousand-household official in charge of attacking the western city wall, shouted.
Although the Turpan soldiers did not even have a few guns, the Ming army still suffered casualties from the top of the city to the bottom of the city, which was intolerable to the Ming generals.
Fortunately, in addition to the Hami defenders, the people in the city and the merchants from all over the city did not dare to make trouble, and more Ming soldiers poured into the city, and in just over two hours, the resistance of the Hami defenders collapsed.
"Old Wu, have they been in touch with Master Gu?" Xie Xinghua asked anxiously as soon as he entered the city.
There is no chaos in the city, but after all, it is a war between countries, and Xie Xinghua is most worried about Gu Jia.
"Okay, Master Gu was placed in that brothel by Ji Jincai, and he is estimated to be more comfortable than us!" Wu Peng quipped.
"Shut your stinky mouth, Master Gu is a scholar, how can this be?" Xie Xinghua glared at Wu Peng, and then began to itch in his heart again.
"Lord Xie, the enemy general Dililenba has been captured, and the defenders of Hami City have all surrendered! The numbers are being counted, and I estimate that there must be at least six or seven thousand. Luo Shizhong said excitedly.
Luo Shizhong, the origin of Daming and Hami City, naturally knew that Hamiwei was the territory of Daming more than two hundred years ago, and now it was recaptured by him Luo Shizhong, and this credit must be indispensable to him.
"Well, yes, yes, General Luo has made a great contribution to the capture of Hami City, and this official will write a letter to report to the commander and the commander, and ask Lord Luo to collect the surplus grain in the city as soon as possible for my Ming soldiers to eat." Xie Xinghua snorted.
"Dare to ask Lord Xie, what to do with those captives?" Luo Shizhong said again.
Although Luo Shizhong was several levels higher than Xie Xinghua in terms of grade, Luo Shizhong did not dare to be presumptuous at all.
"Strictly guard, don't feed them, wait for the official to discuss with Lord Gu before dealing with it." Xie Xinghua saw Gu Jia coming from the city worriedly, and greeted him after speaking.
In order not to be noticed, the two went directly into a private house, and Xie Xinghua told Gu Jia while drinking wine that when enough camels were collected, the army would cross the desert to attack Tulupan City, the national capital of the Tulupan Department.
"Xiao Jie, isn't it too much for us to do this." Gu Jia frowned, because he was deceived by the people of Tulupan, he went to destroy the country, which was a bit too domineering for Gu Jia.
"Master Gu can't be short-sighted, Hami Wei is the territory of our Ming Dynasty, you see those Hami defenders, they are too faced, even if Da Ming doesn't make a move, sooner or later he will become a serf in the Rakshasa country."
What's more, the commander said that not only Hami is the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty, but also Turpan, Xie Xinghua didn't say this, because he didn't understand it very well.
"Now that we have recaptured Hami, the leader of Tulufan must have regarded the Ming Dynasty as an enemy, if the grass is not eradicated, Hami will still be in war in the future, and the commander will be impeached by the courtiers again......"
Seeing that Gu Jia was silent, Xie Xinghua knew that this uncle was struggling, so he had to explain again.
"Alas, since the matter has come to this, you will be responsible for this matter, but after Turpan, you must not be so hasty again, and besides, I will go to Europa later, so you should not show your face, so as not to be discovered by those who have a heart." Gu Jia sighed and said.
Xie Xinghua naturally didn't dare to take Gu Jia's words as a deaf ear, he asked Luo Shizhong to reorganize the army, and on the other hand, he went to Turpan City with people and horses, and informed the leader of Turpan to quickly hand over An Liman, and open the city to surrender to Daming.
Inform the Turpan leader Daming that although the reason for attacking them is an afterthought, what should be done is still to be done, as for letting the Turpan leader open the city and surrender, it is purely Xie Xinghua's unashamed words.
Turpan City is the largest city in the Turpan Division, with more than 300,000 people in the city and more than 20,000 soldiers, and most of them are elites who have participated in the battle with the Yarkand Tribe.
On the other hand, on the Ming side, there are only 10,000 soldiers, not to mention, and they have to travel long distances across the desert, and the war horses are not competent for the desert march, and there are not so many camels to drive in Hami City for a while.
It's just that to everyone's amazement, on the sixth day when Luo Shizhong was still collecting camels everywhere, the head of Turpan sent a letter.
The content of the letter is written in Da Ming characters, and there is only one sentence crookedly:
Turpan is willing to surrender. 2k reading web
