The Mongols then rushed in, and under the Mongol machetes, the Turks were powerless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It didn't take long for the Mongols to open the gate of the walled city, and the Mongol soldiers and loyal battalion Ming troops who had been waiting outside the city for a long time poured into the city like a tide.

Although they were very brave and not afraid of death, the gap in numbers and force could not be bridged by bravery, and they were useless in all other respects except for the courage not to be afraid of death, just like those of al-Qaeda later.

After about half an hour of fierce fighting, Azmat went to heaven to report to their true god, most of the Turks were killed, and a few who were not determined surrendered.

In fact, it is said that the Turks are not afraid of death and dare to resist, but not all of them are not afraid of death, and many are afraid. These can refer to Zuo Zongtang and later Wang Huzi's rebellion. Kill all the guys who are not afraid of death, and the rest are honest. Killing a group of people who are not afraid of death can be stable for at least fifty years.

He Zhuo watched the Mongols kill one Turkic after another, and instead of being angry about this, he rejoiced in the victory of the Mongols. In fact, in real history, He Zhuo suppressed the Turks more ruthlessly than anyone else, and in the end, He Zhuo himself died under the Turkic rebellion and was killed by the Turks. After Apak and Zhuo were killed, his two sons were imprisoned. The Qing army invaded Xinjiang, and Da and Xiao and Zhuo announced their surrender to the imperial court, but in the blink of an eye, they rebelled against the court, and there was a rebellion of Da and Xiao and Zhuo, and the local Turks massacred the Han and Mongols, and finally were suppressed.

At that time, there was no railway in southern Xinjiang, and the best way to enter the city of Yarkand in southern Xinjiang from northern Xinjiang was to walk along the river, which could not only provide water for the army, but also provide food for war horses and camels in the oases distributed along the river. This inland river, which originates from the melting snow of the Kunlun Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains and flows into the desert, irrigates more than 200,000 square kilometers of desert areas, forming one oasis after another in the arid desert.

After capturing the Turkic earthen city on the edge of the river's water, the coalition forces were able to march west along the river to Yarkand Khanate, the capital of the Yarkand Khanate.

……

At the same time as the Loyal Battalion and the Dzungar coalition army marched towards the Yarkand Khanate, negotiations between Wang Yu and Wu Sangui began. This is the fourth negotiation between Wang Yu and Wu Sangui so far, the first time was in Burma, when Wang Yu rescued Yongli; The second time was when Wang Yu captured Guangdong and sent troops to Huguang, and Wu Sangui sent his granddaughter; The third time was before Wu Sangui's Northern Expedition.

"Wu Sangui is sitting in the capital, and the king of Jin has already driven the crane to the west, and now Wu Sangui is holding the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and we are not yet at the time to launch the king of Lu. If King Lu is launched at this time, there will inevitably be a bloody battle between the Han people in the north and south! This is what Wang Yu explained to Huang Xigon before he left.

Wang Yu currently hopes to hold Wu Sangui for the time being, anyway, Wu Sangui will not live long, because some of the small formulas in the Eight Banners special offerings provided by Wang Yu to Wu Sangui have been quietly replaced, plus Wu Sangui's pain of losing his son, I believe that it will not be long before Wu Sangui will be ill.

When Huang Xigon walked into the palace of Wu Sangui in the capital, Wu Zhengzhi, Liang Qingbiao and other officials who had worked with him in the Qing court greeted him. Now they are all wearing bright red official robes and black gauze hats, and hair has grown on their once shaved heads. When they saw Huang Xigon, who was also wearing a bright red official robe and a black gauze hat, they came up to say hello one after another.

"Lord Huang, it's been a long time!" Wu Zhengzhi stepped forward and arched his hand.

"Haha, colleagues have been absent for a long time! Now we are all courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and we all wear the same official uniforms. Back then, when we were doing things for the Tartar puppet dynasty, we wore the same Tartar official uniform, and now we still wear the same official uniform. Those who refused to change their tartar skins until they died had long since gone down to accompany their masters. Huang Xigon laughed.

"Yes, yes!" Wu Zhengzhi said, "We are all Han people, and we should do things for the Han court." ”

"Hahaha!" Huang Xigon laughed and shook the big red official uniform on his body, "You were colleagues before, and you are still colleagues now!" Yes, it's all for the Han people! ”

As soon as he walked into the palace hall, Wu Sangui's personal soldiers shouted: "Bold, don't kneel down when you see the prince!" ”

Huang Xigon replied with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude: "This official is a member of the imperial court, he only kneels to heaven and earth, to the son of heaven, and to his parents, how can he kneel when he sees the prince!" ”

During the Ming Dynasty, the Son of Heaven and the Son of Heaven ruled the world together, except for low-grade officials, high-level officials absolutely did not kneel to worship the prince, at most only salute to see respect for the royal family. And according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, officials were not allowed to befriend the vassal king. Since Wu Sangui is still serving Yongli, there is no reason for Huang Xigon to kneel.

Wu Sangui laughed: "They are all Ming courtiers, why be polite!" Come, please inside, this domain has set up a wine banquet, and hereby invite Lord Huang! ”

A table of banquets has been set up in the inner hall, and the group entered the inner hall and took their seats in order. After sitting down, Wu Sangui did not mention the withdrawal of the Qiongzhou army, but kept raising his glass to persuade him to drink. When he was almost drunk, Wu Sangui asked: "It has been three months since Nanwang withdrew his troops from Tianjin, why did he go for so long and still be in Shandong?" ”

Huang Xigon arched his hand and said: "Back to the prince, there are many auxiliary soldiers and people in our army, and the marching speed is slow, plus the Tartars have created a large number of victims, and the imperial court lacks money to settle the victims, and a large number of victims will follow our army south, which will affect the speed!" What's more, there are many horse thieves in Shandong, and those horse thieves even robbed the victims! They came and went like flying, and the officers and soldiers had to protect the people and exterminate the horse thieves, so the march was slow. ”

There are indeed horse thieves in Shandong, but of course the number is not as much as Huang Xigon said, if the Qiongzhou army really wants to exterminate the horse thieves, they will all be wiped out a long time ago, that is, they deliberately keep the horse thieves, using this as an excuse to delay the speed of the march. As for the horse thieves coming to rob the victims, that was what Huang Xigon said deliberately, the victims themselves can't eat enough, where is the silver and food for them to rob? What's more, the victims all went south with the army, and the horse thieves didn't dare to provoke the officers and soldiers.

Wu Zhengzhi sneered: "The disaster is also my Ming people, and I should stay in the north, how can I go south?" ”

Huang Xigon retorted: "How much silver can the imperial court come up with for disaster relief? If you can't get the money, how can you watch the victims starve to death? What's more, the White Lotus Sect is against me again, and it is about to move, if one is not careful, the example of the thief back then will be there! ”

General Wu Sangui asked suspiciously: "The canal shipping has been opened, why doesn't the king of Nan use a boat to transport the victims south?" ”
