The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 788
In the battle of Dawan City, Huang Baifeng was almost completely wiped out, and the army in black clothed in the Western Regions.

The next thing was much simpler. Huang Baifeng used Dawan as his base and sent troops to recover the lost ground.

In just a few months, the entire 36 countries in the Western Regions were back under the control of the Central Plains Dynasty.

After coming down to Huangbai Peak, I hurriedly reported to Jia Ke in the capital at 800 li, the experience of this expedition to the Western Regions, and what should I do next?
After Jia Ke received Huang Baifeng's memorial in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she was also overjoyed. Since then, the territory of China has finally been considered complete.

Now Jia Ke naturally won't allow the Western Regions to be controlled by those vassal states again. Jia Ke issued a decree to Huang Baifeng, ordering the Eight Banners troops to keep 2 people stationed in the Western Regions, and the 10 people from Xuanfu Town will also be handed over to Huang Baifeng. At the same time, Huang Baifeng was appointed as the governor of the Governor of the Western Regions.

Jia Ke then told Huang Baifeng to use these troops to wipe out the remnants of those kingdoms in the Western Regions, and he didn't want to see the existence of so-called kings in the Western Regions.

And Xiao Yue returned to the station with 5 horses from the Fenwu Camp and 6 cavalry from the Eight Banners.

As for why Jia Ke asked Huang Baifeng to serve as the governor of the Western Region Governor's Mansion, it was because Huang Baifeng was already old, and after experience, he would be calm and control the place, which made Jia Ke more at ease than those courageous and enterprising generals.More importantly, others would betray Liu Hai, Huang Baifeng would never do such a thing.

The distance from the capital to Dawan would take Kuai Maye nearly a month to reach. After Huang Baifeng received Jia Ke's order, it was almost early autumn.

After Huang Bofeng received Jia Ke's order, he did not dare to be negligent, and immediately rectified the army, and asked Xiao Yue to bring back his 5 Fenwu Battalion and [-] Banner cavalry, while he himself brought the rest of the troops. Started to sweep back and forth in the Western Regions.

To talk about Huang Baifeng this time, I would also like to thank the Black Yi Dashi. Due to the continuous suppression of the Black Yi Dashi in the Western Regions, almost all the nobles who had the sense of resistance have been killed, and now the only ones left are stragglers and rogues. .

Huang Baifeng's army only supervised the troops from the Western Regions who surrendered. These troops from the Western Regions who surrendered fought bravely in front of the enemy, and quickly killed all these rebellious people.

Afterwards, Huang Baifeng took Dawan City as his base and controlled the entire Western Region.

Besides, Xiao Yue took 10,000+ troops and marched towards the Central Plains along the way they came, but not yet. When they reached Yumen Pass, they received Jia Ke's imperial edict halfway to stop their advance temporarily and wait for Jia Ke's order at any time.

After Jia Ke received the news, he immediately ordered Xiao Yue's army to stop advancing and prepare to enter Tibet at any time to put down the rebellion.

As for why they didn't march immediately, it was because Sun Yan, the chief minister of the Military Aircraft Department, believed that they should be courteous before soldiers, so that people in the world could be convinced.

So Jia Ke sent a person from the Ministry of Rites to go to Tibet with his own edict of accountability. If the other party can repent, Jia Ke can also temporarily endure a semi-independent kingdom.

Because the Central Plains has just fought a big battle with the black food. Although it is said to have won a decisive victory, it also cost a lot of money and food. Marching is the coldest winter in western Tibet, I am afraid that the soldiers under his command will not be able to adapt to the environment.

However, the officials here brought Jia Ke's imperial decree, but when they arrived in western Tibet, they were kicked out without even meeting the Rinpoche Rinpoche.

This is because the Central Plains Dynasty has been the suzerain state for many years, and it still has some deterrent power to Western Tibet, otherwise, I am afraid that it will not even save its life.

And after this emissary was driven out, he did not follow the way he came back to Sichuan and then went to Beijing, but went directly north, crossed the Gobi Desert, and came to Yumen Pass, where he wanted to join Xiao Yue's army.

However, Xiao Yue's army was originally stationed outside Yumen Pass, after receiving the order from the envoy, the army immediately moved out and returned to Yumen Pass within three days.

As soon as Xiao Yue arrived at Yumen Pass, the officials of the Ministry of Rites immediately took out a copy of Jia Ke's secret decree and read it out in front of Xiao Yue and the commander of the Eight Banners.

The general meaning of this decree is: Luorong Dengpa living Buddha in western Tibet, who disobeyed the imperial court's order and had an irregular heart, specially appointed Xiao Yue as the marshal, led the troops into western Tibet, and quelled the rebellion. The crime of treason is dealt with, but severe punishment is absent.

After Xiao Yue received the imperial decree, he did not raise troops to enter West Tibet immediately, because the weather was already cold, and these troops under his command were still wearing summer clothes, so they had to wait for the court's supplies before they could march into West Tibet.

Naturally, Jia Ke would not let his soldiers go to Tibet to die. He had already ordered the governor of Shaanxi to prepare winter clothes for the army and fodder for the horses.

If it was necessary to prepare so many supplies in the previous court, it would have cost a lot of money, and it would take a while for the court to complete the preparations.

However, since Jia Ke boarded the plane, the implementation of the taxation system, the government and the gentry pay food together, and the collection of commercial taxes, the imperial court is now very rich.

For example, Shaanxi, which was originally a place of bitter cold, has now prepared all the winter clothes, food and grass in just over a month after receiving Jia Ke's order.

After the governor of Shaanxi prepared the supplies, he immediately sent someone to notify Xiao Yue.

When Xiao Yue got the news, he sent 1 cavalry there. Why did Xiao Yue send so many horses?That's not because there are already swords drawn between Tibet and West, and there are many ethnic minorities here who believe in Tibetan Buddhism. If these people make trouble, the materials will disappear halfway.

This time, Xiao Yue really fell for it. On the way back to the barracks with 1 people carrying supplies, they really ran into those believers of Tibetan Buddhism, who rushed to grab the military supplies.

As a result, these people ran into 1 Eight Banners cavalry, and were immediately chased by these cavalry like rabbits, running around all over the grassland, but in the end they still did not escape the encirclement and suppression of the Eight Banners cavalry. The villages and small towns frightened all these people, and they never dared to think about this batch of supplies.

It was already two months later when Xiao Yue received the supplies, and it was about to enter late autumn and early winter.

Xiao Yue summoned all the generals under his command and the commanders of the Eight Banners to discuss whether to march now or wait until next spring to march into western Tibet.

These generals in the Central Plains naturally didn't want to go to fight in a bitter cold place like Tibet in the cold weather like winter.

It was everyone who silenced Xiao Yue and let the army temporarily rest, and wait until next year when the spring blossoms and flowers bloom, and then send troops south to conquer western Tibet.

But the Eight Banners cavalry disagreed, because these people originally lived in the north, and the bitter cold was not much worse than Tibet, and they had no aversion to fighting in winter.

And the representative of them, Jirigla, is Jia Ke's hard-core confidant. When he saw the generals in the Central Plains, they were afraid of the cold and refused to go south. Fighting again, I think those people in western Tibet think the same way, so we will do the opposite and give them a surprise attack in winter. At that time, we will be able to achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost."

What Jirigla said made the generals in the Central Plains silent. Don't they know this simple truth?It's just that I'm afraid of the severe cold and don't want to toss in this winter.

Xiao Yue sat above the commander-in-chief, watching these people quarreling below, he understood what the two groups of people meant.

"I understand what you mean, but I think what Jirigla said is reasonable. If we wait until next spring, those who want to come to Tibet are ready. If we fight again, we will have to compete with them layer by layer. In the end, we will win, and we have to lose a lot. Why don't we just go south and try to destroy them at the lowest cost. As for the cold weather that is not conducive to marching, that is also very easy. Those people in western Tibet have many yaks in their homes, etc. When we conquer a land, we will collect these yaks to transport military supplies, and if the soldiers are tired, they will go south with the yaks. What do you think?"

The Eight Banners generals below naturally had nothing to say, but the Central Plains general saw that the chief general had said everything, so they could only bite the bullet and agree with what they could say.

Everyone in Xiao Yue agreed with his point of view, and immediately ordered: "The army hastened to rest for three days, each put on winter clothes, and after three days, the whole army set off immediately and marched into western Tibet."

After listening to Xiao Yue's order, the generals below bowed their hands and said yes, then they withdrew from the big tent, each rectified their troops and horses and prepared to go.
