Man Raha said: "Our spies lurking in the Ming Dynasty, Soraha and Nasser," Speaking of this, he pointed to the two people behind him: "For many years, he has been risking his life in the Ming Dynasty to spy on intelligence, and found that Cao Zizhuang, a Khitan who was responsible for guarding the west gate of Urumqi City, was dissatisfied with the Ming Kingdom, and even had no wife or children, and successfully persuaded him to surrender, and he also contributed a lot. ”

"In addition, the followers of Allah in the city also deserve the Great Khan's commendation."

It turned out that although the troops of Samarkand occupied Urumqi, they were not defeated by soldiers, but Cao Zizhuang, who guarded the western city gate, surrendered to the Ming under the persuasion of Soraha and Nasser, two spies who had stayed in the northwest of the Ming Kingdom when Manlaha and Feisi had first sent an embassy to the Ming Kingdom many years ago.

At the same time, when Cao Zizhuang's act of secretly opening the city gate was discovered by his subordinate soldiers and wanted to stop it, it was also the Semu people in the Ming Kingdom who were sent to Urumqi to work as coolies to help Cao Zizhuang block the soldiers and drag the soldiers of Samarkand into the city.

Before Yunxi sent troops to attack Annam in the second half of the fourth year of Jianye, he ordered all the Semu people who believed in Tianfang Religion and Cross Religion in the northern region to be gathered and sent to the northwest, most of them were arranged in Yiwu, and a few were in Shazhou, Suzhou and other places.

Shang Bing also disliked the Semu people, but he was more out of practical considerations, and there were many things that needed to be built in Yiwu and other places as newly developed places, so he caught these Semu people who had migrated and sent them to various construction sites as coolies. In this way, the people of lust are naturally dissatisfied.

In addition, most of the Semu people of the Daming Belief in Tianfang Sect were Xunni sects, and Timur also happened to be Xunni sects, so they all supported Samarkand at the instigation of Sola and Nasser to help seize Urumqi. On the contrary, the original Heavenly Sect in the Western Regions, because most of them were Shiye factions, took up arms to resist the soldiers of Samarkand, and finally all of them were wiped out.

"All the Suni believers in the city are to be rewarded, and you are responsible for this; This city is under your administration for the time being. After the reward, the local imams were treated like domestic imams, and the lay believers were incorporated into the army. I heard that there are more than 100,000 believers in Yiwu and other places, and these believers are very beneficial for our army to attack the Ming city. It's a pity that they are not trusted by the King of Qin and his ministers who are sealed here by the Ming Kingdom, and they don't know much news. Timur finally said with a little regret.

However, he also knew that if these people were trusted by the Ming Kingdom and had a very high standard of living, they would not just throw themselves into him. The same beliefs are no match for practical considerations.

Timur gave a few more orders to Manraha and told him to retreat.

As he walked down the stairs, Manraha was beaming with joy. Timur not only gave him the power to reward the local Semu, but also gave him temporary administration of the city, which was a great trust in him and represented a further rise in his status in the khanate.

Choose a few people from the local believers who know Mongolian, and it would be better if there are people who know Khorezm, so that they can take care of all the affairs in the city. There is not much to do now that the army is stationed in Urumqi, but there will not be many soldiers left here after the army advances eastward, and then it will be the time for me to show my ability. I'm going to ......'

The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he was completely immersed in his own fantasies. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt that his body was hit by something sturdy, and he fell to the ground unsteadily.

He woke up from his fantasies, and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, "Don't have long eyes! Then I heard a voice in front of me: "You want to die!" If you break General Jesbo, you will definitely go to hell! ”

Hearing this, Man Laha fixed his eyes and saw that it was indeed Jesbu who bumped into him just now, and he hurriedly stood up and bowed very respectfully: "Please forgive General Yesbu, I didn't pay attention just now, and I definitely didn't mean to hit the general." I beg your understanding, General. ”

"It's Manlaha, I also know that you definitely didn't mean to hit me, and I wasn't hurt, it's nothing, you go and do what the Great Khan gave you, and you don't need to continue to apologize." Jesbu said.

Manraha saluted again before straightening up and leaving.

"General, why don't you punish him severely?" The guard said angrily.

"Since it was an unintentional mistake, don't blame him." Jesbu said: "What's more, it will be dark soon, and the matter must be discussed with the Great Khan as soon as possible." ”

With that, he straightened up, took the hat that had just fallen on the ground, put it on his head, and walked into the house.

Seeing him come in, Timur turned his head and said to Fu An, Claviyo and the others: "Several envoys from Eastern and Western countries, I now want to discuss the next military deployment with the generals under my subordinates, please return to the arranged house to rest." I'll meet you again at dinner time and tell you some of the things I think I can let you know. ”

These people also knew that it was impossible for them to know the most secret military dispositions now, so they bowed to Timur and withdrew; Among them, there are no others, but Fu An very much wants to know how Timur will fight next, but he can only retreat.

After all the envoys had left, Jesbu sat down and said to Timur: "Even now, I still can't understand why I brought so many foreign envoys, except for Fu An from the Ming Kingdom. ”

"Of course they're useful." Timur said with a smile: "This time the Khanate's eastward expedition to the Ming Kingdom is a war between the two most powerful countries in the world, and all the countries that have heard about this matter are very concerned, and the victorious country will become the most powerful country in the world at this time, and may even become the world hegemon." ”

"After our army defeats the Ming Kingdom, let these envoys return home, they will spread the prestige of the Khanate all over the world, and if the army wants to conquer any place in the future, it may be easy to occupy it without fighting." Of course, he would not consider his defeat.

Jesbou has reservations about this. Even if the Ming State was defeated, it would only increase Timur's own prestige, and would be of little use to the entire country, and Timur would still return to the same state after his death.

However, he did not continue to discuss this issue, but spoke of the purpose for which he came: "Great Khan, to this day, a total of three thousand three hundred and twenty-one soldiers have been killed, died of disease, or died by accident, and have been drawn from the accompanying auxiliaries to make up for them. ”

"Of the 200,000 soldiers and 300,000 auxiliaries, 150,000 soldiers and 230,000 auxiliaries have arrived in Urumqi or can arrive tomorrow, and another 50,000 soldiers and 70,000 auxiliaries will arrive in the next seven days."

"Great Khan, it's almost dark today, and it's not suitable to move troops, but tomorrow, will the army wait in Urumqi for the soldiers who have not yet arrived, or will it immediately send troops to attack Turpan or even Yiwu?"
