Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 816, Each has a ghost
In the Western Regions, as the end of the new year is approaching, the soldiers of the army also began to prepare to celebrate the arrival of the new year here in Anle City.

The entire Anle City was decorated with lights and festoons, and the decoration was newly renovated. The festive atmosphere dispelled the winter clouds, and temporarily dissipated the smell of war.

A steady stream of convoys came from Jiayuguan to Anle City, bringing the supplies needed for the New Year to the army.

For Chinese New Year, the best way for Chinese people is to eat.

Rice from Nanyang, flour from Liaodong, millet from Shanxi, corn from Shandong, ham from Yunnan and Guizhou, radishes and vegetables from Ryukyu, local cattle and sheep from the Western Regions, and pork transported by wagon.

As for melon seeds, dried dates, dried lotus seeds, etc., they are naturally indispensable. When we arrive in Turpan, the local raisins are naturally inexhaustible.

The entire Anle City is filled with the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year. Everywhere in the barracks, everyone is busy making dumplings, pulling noodles, and preparing for the New Year's feast.

Alcohol is not allowed in the military camp, but Chinese New Year is special, so the Fenjiu from Shanxi, the sorghum Nurhong from Shaanxi, etc., are full of fragrance, and people can't help but get drunk.

Here in an open space outside Anle City, the football field has already been set up. Two teams are fighting for each other on the field. There are people standing around, shouting and screaming in the cold winter. They don’t feel the winter at all. the cold.

"Okay~ Beautiful kick!"

Liu Jin was also among the crowd, and when he saw someone scoring a goal, he immediately shouted along.

As for football, this taste is the most authentic. What is important is an atmosphere. When there are many people, there will be an atmosphere, and watching the game will have a taste.

As the most popular sports program in Ming Dynasty, how can we not play football during Chinese New Year?

"Marshal~Marshal~"

At this time, Wang Shouren came to Liu Jin's side in a hurry, with a look of anxiety on his face.

"what happened?"

Liu Jin looked at Wang Shouren and asked.

"There is news~"

Wang Shouren said.

"Go, go back!"

Liu Jin nodded immediately, took a last look at the ongoing ball game and returned to his coach camp.

"Marshal, I just got the news from the Chagatai Khanate that Mahemu has gathered Turks, Kazakhs, Mongolia, Uighurs, Huihui, Uzbeks, etc. under the banner of spreading the glory of the Lord and resisting our Ming rule. There are more than ten tribes, with a total of more than [-], and they are said to have millions of troops in Ali Mali, and they are going to attack us eastward."

Wang Shouren pointed to the location of Ali Mali on the map, and said with a stern face.

"Three hundred thousand!"

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately pondered, looked at the map carefully and said: "We'd better find a way to let them fight us in a decisive battle, and if the [-] people are settled in the first battle, the entire Western Region will be settled. "

I now have [-] cavalry and [-] infantry in my hands, with a total of [-] troops. [-] Jiang Ji led the attack on Hotan and Aksu, and [-] Huo Yun led the attack on Qinghai.

[-] against [-], the difference in strength is doubled, but Liu Jin is confident enough to eat the [-] in one bite.

The [-] Ming army in my hands is an elite army that has gone through day after day, year after year, and the more than [-] horses gathered in this Mahemu are the mobs that were improvised by various tribes. However, there may not be many people who really have combat effectiveness.

"The terrain of the Western Regions is three mountains and two basins. The Altai Mountains in the north and the Tianshan Mountains in the middle. There is only one route from Alimari to Turpan, and that is the route from Sailimu Lake and Guozigou Canyon. We only need to Just choose a place on this route that is beneficial to us and have a decisive battle with them."

"Their [-] troops are marching in winter, and with so many tribes gathered together, it must be very large. If they want to march separately, our cavalry can defeat them one by one, forcing them to walk together, forcing them Take the initiative to engage in a decisive battle with us."

Wang Shouren looked carefully at the map of the Western Regions, and drew a line between Turpan and Alimu with certainty. This route was also the route leading to the Western Regions since ancient times.

On the back is the Junggar Basin, a vast and huge desert. There is only one route to Ali Mali, and that is to go along the south of the Junggar Basin and the north of the Tianshan Mountains.

There is only this road, and there is no other road to choose, so the conquest of the Western Regions has been along this road since ancient times.

"Hmm~"

"According to this method, send an order to Yang Yun, let him lead [-] cavalry to continuously intercept and kill those scattered tribes, forcing us to gather together and take the initiative to find and fight us."

Liu Jin nodded. The strategic phalanx formulated by Lao Wang is definitely not wrong. At least it is better than what he formulated.

……

Ali Mali, Mahemu, Manzala, and Haidar are also studying the upcoming war against the map of the Western Regions.

Although the Golden Family has been declining, and it is getting worse day by day, but relying on the great majesty once struck with a machete, no tribes large or small in the Western Regions dared to disobey the order of Mahemu Khan of the Chagatai Khanate. Even if a thousand people are unwilling or ten thousand people are not reconciled, they still have to obey Mahemu's order and start to gather the fighting power of their own tribes towards Ali Mali.

Ma Hemu looked at the map of the Western Regions, but in his heart he was thinking about how to get rid of the control of the Kazakhs.

Although he is nominally the lord of the Western Regions and the khan of the Chagatai Khanate, he is very clear that the real masters of the Western Regions are Manzara and Haidar in front of him, and the Kazakhs and Turks behind them .

The Mongols behind him are not only small in number, but more importantly, the Mongols are also divided among themselves and do not agree with each other, as if he was originally the Khan of the Chagatai Khanate, and it stands to reason that he can command the Turpan Mansuer Khan army.

But Mansuer Khan doesn't care about you at all, and the same is true of Mansuer's younger brother Said. They are both Mongolians and descendants of the Golden Family, but they are like enemies to each other. Cut to pieces.

Ma Hemu was able to sit in the position of Khan not because of his own ability, but because Ma Hemu was a relatively easy-to-control person, and also because Manzara was not a descendant of the Golden Family, they needed a descendant of the Golden Family To claim the entire Western Region.

Otherwise, it would be Ma Hemu's turn to sit in this seat.

Relying on the support of the Duerte Department of the Kazakhs, he took the position of Khan, but after he sat on it, he realized that this position is really not easy to sit in. He is no different from a puppet, and even worse than Man Suer and Sai Ed, at least the two of them can still say that they are one in their own territory.

This time the Ming army attacked the Western Regions, and everyone had their own ambitions.

Manzala wants to use the name of the Chagatai Khanate Mahemu Khan to command the tribes in the Western Regions, further integrate the power of the Chagatai Khanate, squeeze out and suppress other tribes, and expand Kazakh influence in the Western Regions. The power of the Kazakhs expanded from the west to the east, and it was best to be able to enter Turpan, Hami and other areas.

As long as the Kazakhs can gradually enter all parts of the Western Regions, and at the same time attack the tribes of the Western Regions, in the future, the Kazakhs will have the final say on the entire Western Regions, and they will be able to call themselves Khan and found a country where they will need the puppet Mahemu. Establish their Kazakh khanate.

As for Haidar, he also has his own ambitions.

The Turks are powerful in Central Asia, but not very powerful in the Western Regions. Their ancestors were driven from east to west by the Han people.

The Turkic people really want to kill them again, and return to the Mongolian plateau where their ancestors lived, and even in the future, they will go to the Central Plains to avenge their shame.

For this reason, he also received the support of various Turkic tribes in Central Asia.

This time is also a good opportunity. When the Ming Dynasty sent [-] troops to attack the Western Regions, all the tribes in the Western Regions would fight to the death with the Ming people, especially Manzala in front of him. The Kazakhs behind him are ambitious and must have a relationship with the Ming people. A bloody battle.

At that time, I only need to take advantage of it, and when they kill both sides, it will be their Turkic turn to clean up the mess and occupy the entire Western Region.

The Turks have their own advantages. They are different from the Kazakhs. Many Mongols have been Turkized, so not only in the Chagatai Khanate, but also in other Khanates, the Turks and the Mongols Relationships are very good.

Although the Kazakhs are powerful in the Western Regions, their relationship with the Mongols is not very good. Even if the Kazakhs want to establish their own Khanate, the surrounding Khanates will definitely not agree, because all the Khanates around The country is controlled by the descendants of the gold family.

But the Turks are different. In Central Asia, the Ottoman Empire was established by the Turks. They can get the support of the Ottoman Empire, and they don’t have to be afraid of the descendants of the golden family. They are all in decline.

The three have their own ghosts, Mahemu wants to get rid of the control of the Kazakhs, Haidar and Manzala are ambitious and want to use this opportunity to expand the influence of their tribe, and even control the entire Western Region.

Of course, it's not just them, the other tribes below also have their own ulterior motives, and their hearts are not aligned at all. Some small tribes have even secretly defected to Daming, and are constantly improving Mahemu's intelligence for Daming. .

Taking refuge in Da Ming has its advantages. The powerhouses of Da Ming have already spread in the Western Regions. It is normal for small tribes to seek refuge in the strong in order to survive.

　By the way, are there any descendants of the Golden Family?
