Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 822 It's all here, so naturally we need to lay down more territory
Liu Jin was riding a horse on the battlefield. The battle was over. Looking up, there were corpses strewn all over the field, blood flowing like rivers, and vultures hanging high in the sky, gathering more and more. From time to time, there were excited chirping sounds.

The wounded were wailing in pain, the fallen horses were struggling to stand up again, the fireworks were burning the flags, and the ground was stained red with blood...

There were no accidents. This battle was completely one-sided massacre. The hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were like the most efficient killing machines. In just two hours of fighting, they easily wiped out the twenty-odd The army of the Wanchahetai Khanate was fed cleanly.

Yang Yun and his cavalry were chasing and killing Mahemu, Manzala, Haidar and others who had fled, while Wang Shouren was clearing out the last remaining enemy.

Enemies who have surrendered are tied up with ropes, one after another, and what awaits them is the fate of slaves.

For the Ming army in front of them, they have no choice but to become everyone's military exploits or their money. Everything captured on the battlefield belongs to everyone, including these captives.

In the past, you may have said that you should carry forward the so-called spirit of big belly, forgive these people, and let them return to their tribe, thinking that they would be grateful to Daming, but they didn’t know that they would call you a fool in their hearts, and then wait for their strength to recover. Pick up the machete again and kill you.

It's the same now, they are captives, even if Emperor Hongzhi says it doesn't count, captives are like cattle and sheep, they belong to the spoils of the Ming army, and the Ming army attaches great importance to their own spoils.

Whether to sell these slaves or assign them to the soldiers as slaves is fine, the only thing is that they can't be put back for nothing.

Some merchants who had already smelled the smell of blood came here with white silver coins, and when they saw strings, strings, and tens of thousands of captives, they immediately laughed from ear to ear, and the business came.

As soon as the silver dollars are handed over, they can immediately take the slaves they bought and leave. As long as these slaves are transported to Nanyang, any one of them can be sold for four to fifty taels of silver, but here, they are from the military. When buying at the same time, the price of a slave is only less than twenty taels, a huge profit of two or three times, so that the army is followed by a large-scale merchant team.

These merchant teams, on the one hand, help to transport military supplies, grain, supplies, etc., and on the other hand, they also provide various services for the military.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are no longer the Qiu Ba of the past. When it comes to the Ming army, they are all described as Qiu Ba and broken military households, but now the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Under the compulsory military service system, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty not only had high incomes, but also stable incomes. Once there was a war, their brave killing of the enemy would not only earn military merits, but also a lot of rewards.

The defeat of Hami and Turpan has already made everyone's pockets bulging in the Western Expeditionary Army, and some of them are rich in silver. Their business is actually very easy to do.

As for the Ming army, in fact, I am happy to have merchants following me. I can buy many things I need from these merchants at any time. As long as I have money, these merchants are not afraid of death, cold, or long distances. Anything, they can send it to you in time.

In addition, the trophies obtained on the battlefield can also be disposed of centrally by merchants. If the Ming army carried these captives by themselves, it would definitely be very inconvenient and would hinder their marching.

But by selling these captives to slave merchants, the Ming army not only got the money quickly, but also saved a lot of manpower, not having to take care of the captives, and saving their own food.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Of course, the premise of all this is based on the fact that the Ming army is victorious in all battles and is invincible. Because of the strength of the Ming army, these merchants dare to follow the Ming army into the Western Regions and do business in the Western Regions with confidence.

There are already cotton and wool merchants who have started to purchase wool and cotton from the north and the south of the Tianshan Mountains. The price of cotton and wool here is very low. After the purchase, it is shipped to Daming, and the huge profit is several times, even ten times.

This is the huge business opportunity brought about by war.

Liu Jin was very clear about this, but he didn't mean to stop it. Anything that was good for him to march and fight, he had to support it.

"One will succeed, ten thousand bones will die~"

Looking at everything in front of him, Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh.

Too many people died in this battle.

Because the Ming army relies on military merit to promote and get rewards, so when they killed the enemy, the Ming army was very crazy. Many people killed and killed, and their eyes were red. Sometimes even if they surrendered, Ming The army will not let you go easily.

In addition, Liu Jin had planned to kill all kinds of people in the Western Regions from the very beginning to deter the tribes of all sizes in the Western Regions, so there was no restriction on this.

On the battlefield, the army of more than [-] Chagatai Khanates was almost completely killed.

Shaking his head slightly, Liu Jin began to think about his next move.

The Chagatai Khanate has been completely defeated, and it is hard to say whether Mahemu himself can escape Yang Yun's pursuit. It can be said that in this battle, the Chagatai Khanate has been destroyed, and the vast Western Regions Officially all fell into the hands of Daming.

"There are still some Oala tribes north of the Altai Mountains, and then there is the vast Siberian Plain. The land is sparsely populated and sparsely populated, but the land is large enough and the resources are sufficient, which must be occupied."

"For the Western Regions, we can gather all the tribes of the Western Regions, large and small, establish the chief envoys of the Western Regions, appoint officials, set up garrisons, and move over from the Nanyang side."

"To the west of the Western Regions are the Kazakh Khanate and the Shaybani Khanate. The Kazakh Khanate is now in its heyday and is powerful. The same is true for the Shaybani Khanate. It was once in a fierce battle with Mahemu."

"Now that the Chagatai Khanate has been wiped out by my Ming Dynasty, these two Khanates will inevitably change. If you want to stabilize the Western Regions, you must first attack these two Khanates. No matter what, first Beat them hard and let them know how powerful I am, so that the Western Regions can be stabilized."

"When the Western Regions are stabilized, then we will clean up the two khanates, and then push westward to the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea, and the Kipchak Khanate."

"In addition, the Hezhong area is considered to be the most fertile and fertile place in the entire Western Regions and Central Asia. Two rivers flow and the rainfall is abundant. It is a very good place for both agriculture and animal husbandry."

"The Western Regions have been conquered, and this place must not be let go. When the time comes to develop agriculture in the Hezhong area, and develop animal husbandry in the Tianshan and Altai Mountains, there will be a steady stream of wool and cotton, and the Western Regions will be self-sufficient."

Maps of the Western Regions and Central Asia appeared in Liu Jin's mind. After conquering the Western Regions, there are three opponents to face next, the Oala tribes in the north. West of Mongolia, West Siberia, Russia).

The Kazakh Khanate on the west side of the Western Regions, the Kazakh Khanate was established for a very short time, probably around 1456, and it is only half a century now, and although it is the Kazakh Khanate, mainly Kazakhs, it is actually gold. The khanate established by the descendants of the family is a purely nomadic khanate.

To the southwest is the Shaybani Khanate, which is also a Khanate established by the Shaybani Khanate who claims to be the descendant of Genghis Khan’s eldest son Jochi. It was established for a shorter period of time and was established in the thirteenth year of Hongzhi.

Shaybani defeated Prince Babur of the Timurid dynasty, won the victory in the battle of Sarpul, and occupied Samarkand before it was established.

Of the three strengths, the most powerful is the Kazakh Khanate in the west. At this time, they are at their strongest period. It is said that the entire Kazakh Khanate has a population of one million and [-] cavalry, which shows that they How powerful is it.

You must know that the Kazakh Khanate is a purely nomadic Khanate, with a population of one million and [-] cavalry. This is absolutely powerful and sweeps Central Asia.

The weakest should be the Shaybani Khanate. At this time, he had no stable foothold at all, and he offended the Timur Khanate, and even had conflicts with the Persian Safavid Dynasty in the south.

As for Oala, they are also pure nomads, and all of them are Mongolian tribes. Although their strength is not very strong, and the internal tribes are also divided, it is not a cause for concern if anyone refuses to accept others.

"Continue to attack the Kazakh Khanate, and then attack the Shaybeni Khanate along the way, take down Samarkand, and seize the entire river region. Without the river region, the Western Regions will not be perfect. At that time, there will be no way to compete with the capitalists in Ming Dynasty. According to them, the five Central Asian countries of later generations are the largest exporters of cotton in the world, and Uzbekistan is even known as the country of platinum."

Soon, Liu Jin already had a plan in his mind, and he roughly thought about the next course of action.

A visit to the Western Regions is of course not in vain. More than [-] troops have arrived in the Western Regions. The Chagatai Khanate has been wiped out, and I don't mind taking down the Hezhong area.

For a long time, the Central Plains Dynasty ruled the Western Regions and felt very tasteless.

Regardless of the vastness of the Western Regions, it is very arid here, that is, the oasis and grasslands can be formed by relying on the melting water of snow mountains in several major mountain ranges, but compared with the Central Plains, it is still far behind.

The Han people are unwilling to migrate here. Relying on the tribes here, once the Central Plains dynasty weakens, it will quickly lose control of the Western Regions. Therefore, the key is to find a fertile land that can develop agriculture.

Only by owning such a piece of land, and then moving a large number of Han people here, can the rule of the entire Western Regions be stabilized.

Obviously, the river area formed by the Amu Darya River and the Syr Darya River is definitely the most ideal area. Once here, the Ming Dynasty will have a permanent base to rule the Western Regions.

　The core of ruling the Western Regions is people~ I personally think so, otherwise why would a large number of people go to the Western Regions
