Chapter 1126: Acting on the Spot
After Tuhuan and Khordu Khan led the main force of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army to leave Jiuquan City, there were 20,000 Northern Yuan and Timurid Empire coalition troops, 30,000 Western Regions servant troops and nearly 30,000 Kwantan troops in the city, and the supreme commander was Tuohuan's son Ade.
The reason why Ade can become the commander of the army in Jiuquan City is naturally because of the existence of the Guanxi Army, because the Guanxi Army surrendered to the Northern Yuan, so the commander of Jiuquan City must use the generals of the Northern Yuan, and Ade, who is deeply trusted by Tuhuan, is undoubtedly the best candidate.
In fact, not only the Guanxi Army surrendered, but the servant army in the Western Regions was also the cannon fodder used by the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan to block the Northwest Ming Army, and nearly 60,000 troops were enough to block the pursuing Northwest Ming Army in Jiuquan City for a while.
The situation of the servant army in the Western Regions is similar to that of the Kwantan Army, if you want to compare, the treatment of the servant army in the Western Regions is worse than that of the Kwantan Army, and the reason is that the combat effectiveness of the Kwantan Army is much higher than that of the Western Regions Servant Army, so it is better to get logistical supplies, and Tuhuan and Khordu Khan need them to work the battlefield.
It is worth mentioning that the Western Regions Servant Army in Jiuquan City has a very large relationship with the Kwantan Army, to be precise, it has a deep grudge with Hamiwei, because the soldiers of these Servant Army came from the Turpan region of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and were under the command of Mohu Timur, the king of Turpan.
Mohu Timur was a great nobleman of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and since the Chagatai Khanate split into Eastern and Western Chagatai Khanates, his family rose rapidly in the Turpan region, although they were still subject to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, but in fact they were the de facto rulers of the Turpan region.
When the troops of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan entered Turpan, Mohu Timur decided to take refuge in the Northern Yuan after weighing left and right, which was more dominant in Kansai than the Northern Yuan of the Timurid Empire.
In exchange, Mohu Timur received a promise from Tuhuan that as long as the Ming Dynasty was captured, the Northern Yuan would recognize Mohu Timur's rule over the Turpan region and make him the king of Turpan, so that Mohu Timur could get rid of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and officially rule the Turpan region.
It was with this deal that Mohu Timur sent 30,000 Turpan troops to assist the Northern Yuan in the war, and compared with other servant armies in the Western Regions, these Turpan soldiers had more combat effectiveness and will to fight.
The commander of these Turpan troops was Mohu Timur's son Luba, who was deeply hostile to the Kwantan army, and since entering Jiuquan City, the soldiers of the two sides have clashed frequently.
Agu and Manhei had no less than Ruba for the grievances and disputes between the soldiers, and even made trouble with Tuhuan, which was exactly what Tuhuan wanted to see, he didn't want the Turpan soldiers and the Guanxi soldiers to live in harmony, which would not be conducive to his control of both sides.
Therefore, for the grievances and entanglements between the Turpan soldiers and the Guanxi soldiers, Tuhuan has always adopted the method of harmony, and secretly sowed discord from it.
In Tuhuan's view, let the tense Turpan Army and the Guanxi Army defend Jiuquan City can contain each other, so that Ade can firmly control the situation, and the most important thing is that they both have good combat effectiveness and can hold back the Ming army rushing in Jiuquan City.
"Thanks!" When Tengge left, several soldiers under his command were carrying or holding a lot of antiques such as porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and they looked like they were returning with a full load, and he smiled and bowed to the iron-faced black, and walked away triumphantly.
"Damn!" Hearing this, Manei couldn't help but slam his fist on the tree next to him, looking quite annoyed.
Seeing this, the soldiers nearby couldn't help but glance at each other secretly, and they all knew that Tengge's previous actions were ridiculing Manhei, and Manhei seemed to have been taken away by Tengge a lot of valuable things.
In the regretful eyes of the soldiers, he returned to his room with a blank face, and when he entered the door, a smile appeared on his face, and the scene just now was naturally acted for others to see.
The internal surrender of the Kansai army was mainly divided into two factions, one was dominated by the barbarians, and the other was dominated by Agu, compared to the barbarians, Agu was loyal to the Northern Yuan, and delusionally believed that the Northern Yuan would own the land of Kansai after the victory.
Therefore, the brutal black must beware of Agu's people, lest Agu spoil his affairs, after all, Agu has more than 10,000 soldiers of the Red Jin Mongolian Guard, and his strength should not be underestimated.
In fact, what happened here had already reached Agu, who thought that he could become the leader of the Kansai Army, but he didn't expect that the sudden rise of the Manhei Army had the support of a lot of Kansai Army, which was on par with his power, making him unable to control the Kansai Army.
"This idiot, at this time, he still has the heart to gamble!" After learning that Manhei was being collected by the people of the Northern Yuan, a look of disdain flashed at the corner of Agu's mouth, thinking that Manhei was completely a rude and reckless man, and he didn't smell that Jiuquan City would usher in a big war.
Obviously, the Ming army in Kansai would definitely attack Jiuquan City after the withdrawal of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army, so they should be prepared to defend the city before that, rather than going to the casino.
Agu didn't realize that Wen Du was defeated in Kansai at this time, and he didn't believe that Wen Du was defeated, because he knew the military situation in Kansai very well, and knew that Wen Du had an absolute advantage in Kansai, especially Li Yuntian led the army to leave Qinglong City, which gave Wen Du a chance to fight him.
"My lord, General Ade is invited." Just when Agu was secretly mocking himself in his heart, a guard came in and said in a deep voice.
Agu didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and immediately set off to see Ade, who is now the ruler of Jiuquan City, and is also the object of his stammering, as the son of Tuhuan, Ade will occupy an important position in the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the future, and is a good backer.
When Agu arrived at Ade's residence, Manhei was already there chatting with Ade, but Ruba, another important figure in Jiuquan City, was not there.
"Two generals, this official brought you here today to discuss something." After Agu sat down in the room, Ade quietly glanced at him and Manhei, and said in a deep voice, "In order to teach those stubborn captives a lesson so that they can submit to the Great Yuan, this official hopes to kill a few people to set an example, which of the two of you is willing to take this errand?" ”
"Your Excellency, the lower officer is willing to serve." Before Agu could speak, Manhei had already taken the lead in answering, and said with a smile, "Those captives are too ignorant to lift, and if they don't give them a little color, they think we won't dare to touch them." ”
"That's very good, if they change their minds, the black general will do a great job!" Hearing this, Ade immediately smiled and said, handing over this task to Manhei, and at the same time quietly glanced at Agu, whose face became a little ugly.
For Ade, whether it is brutal or Agu, as long as one of the two of them is willing to take this matter, it will be good to place the crime of killing Ming prisoners of war on the body of the Kwanti Army, so that the Kwansai Army will have to fight to the death with the Ming Army.
As for Turpan's army, since Turpan is now under the control of the Timurid Empire, once Ruba has the slightest ill intention, Mohu Timur and others in Turpan will suffer a catastrophe, so Ruba must live and die with Jiuquan City.
"Tonight, let's send these people on their way." Subsequently, under the gaze of Agu and Manhei, Ade picked up a list from the table and handed it to Manhei, on the list were the prisoners of the Ming army he wanted to kill Manhei, and several senior generals of the Ming army in the northwest.
"I'll hang their heads high above the gates." The brutal black took the list and slammed his head at Ade with murderous eyes.
"Very good, let those who have bad intentions know that there is no good end to going against Dayuan and Xichagatai." A smile flashed across the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and he picked up two more lists from the table, "If those captives are stubborn, they will continue to kill for the next two days." ”
"Don't worry, General, the lower officials will definitely do a good job." With a black smile, he stuffed the two lists into his arms, looked at Ade and said, "My lord, according to the lower officials, those captives are left with a complete waste of rations, so it is better to send them to Kansai to work as coolies!" ”
"When the war in Kansai and Northwest is settled, those captives will be divided into slaves, and everyone will be able to call them however they want." Ard immediately laughed when he heard this, and his eyes showed an appreciative look at Manhei, the more Manhei showed his indifference to the Ming prisoners of war, then the more relieved he was at Manhei.
Agu's face became more and more ugly, and he secretly felt annoyed in his heart, he was accidentally preempted by the brute black just now, otherwise he would have taken over this murderous errand, and then won Ade's favor.
"Let me tell you a good news, this official has just received a good news, General Wendu has besieged the Ming army in the ancient city of Dunhuang, as long as the reinforcements arrive in the city, the Ming army will be wiped out, and then Kansai and the northwest will become our world."
Ade noticed the change in Agu's face, and a subtle smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, he wanted to see Agu and Manhei Ming fighting in secret, and then said to the two of them with a deep smile, "In order to celebrate General Wendu's great victory in Kansai, this official is going to hold a celebratory banquet in the evening, and we will have a good drink at that time!" ”
"General Xie!" Hearing this, Manhei and Agu bowed to Ade one after another, and this "great victory" in Wendu would greatly boost the morale of the army.
Unlike Agu, who was excited, his dark eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, and he already knew from Tengge about Li Yuntian's defeat of Wendu in the ancient city of Dunhuang.
Therefore, Ade's remarks at this time were obviously a joke, but they were just to confuse the Kwantan army and Turpan soldiers in Jiuquan City, so that they would stick to Jiuquan City wholeheartedly, so as to buy time for the escape of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan.
Of course, the brutal black will not expose Ade's lies, and now is not the time to tear his face with Ade, so he naturally has to make a fool of himself and lead his generals to attend the banquet to celebrate the achievement.
