Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 112: His Majesty has ordered that anyone who is higher than the table will be beheaded, and those who disobey will be beheaded together!
Deng Lei spoke out to stop him, which immediately made Xu Chang frown and feel extremely annoyed.

The Ming Dynasty has never lacked such saints who are good at forgiving mortal enemies on behalf of others.

The people who were killed before were not his blood relatives.

The people who have won the battle now have nothing to do with him.

But he can use the name of justice to steal the fruits of others' victory and forgive those who have committed capital crimes.

Little did they know that this was just to satisfy their damn saintly heart.

Making them feel as if they are doing something right, something moral, and something in line with justice is a selfless contribution.

As for the terrible consequences of showing compassion, they would not consider it, because the backlash would not fall on them.

This kind of person is actually the most selfish person!

Xu Chang was really angry: "Deng Lei! You are just a small doctor, what qualifications do you have to let these criminals go!"

Deng Lei was stunned, and replied with a stiff upper lip: "Governor Xu, I have no objection to you killing those soldiers, but these civilians are innocent!"

"Innocent?" Xu Chang sneered: "When these soldiers go to war, who is raising horses for them, who is providing them with food, and who is raising their children and grandchildren?!"

"After these soldiers occupied Hamiwei, who was enjoying the resources they robbed?!"

"The only prerequisite for not letting the tribe suffer misfortune is that the tribe will not be blessed!"

"Being of the same clan and race is the original sin!"

"This...this...this..."

Deng Lei was stunned by the question for a moment. When he was preparing to organize his words to fight back, Ma Jinzhong, the big boss of the Western Factory, who was always so low-key that he was easily overlooked, suddenly rushed over.

"Ah! What are you doing..."

Ma Jinzhong kicked Deng Lei down, and Deng Lei screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

Deng Lei was lying on the ground, and just as he was about to turn around to question, a whistling cold knife occupied his entire field of vision.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The knife flashed and blood appeared.

Deng Lei's head fell to the ground with terrified eyes.

Ma Jinzhong held the bloody cold knife in his hand and turned to look at other civil officials from the Ministry of War and the military generals from the Five Military Commanderies.

Ma Jinzhong was in no mood to explain and just said it coldly.

"Your Majesty has ordered that any male in the Turpan Khanate who is one inch taller than the table will be beheaded!"

"Those who disobey orders will be executed!"

For Ma Jinzhong, he doesn't care about any reason or morality.

He only cares about one thing: anyone who violates the order of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will be beheaded!

Deng Lei pleaded for the Turpan Khanate, which was against Zhu Youtang's will, and it was not unjust to execute them.

Ma Jinzhong's thundering move immediately frightened the civil and military officials who had originally had some righteousness.

No one else dared to stand up and plead for mercy.

So, after the Ming army's efforts all night.

Before the sun rose the next day, a huge Jingguan appeared outside the city of Turpan Khanate.

On top of the Jingguan, there is a flagpole with a Ming Dynasty dragon flag flying on it.

At the same time, on the flagpole, there was a head of Mansuer!
……

Deep in the grassland, there is ice and snow.

Ahama Khan led 3,000 elite soldiers and attacked for a whole night before finally taking a short rest at Tonggang Gama.

This place is more than 120 miles away from Gaochang City, which is the limit of the Mongolian horses' rapid march in one night.

Fortunately, each of them had two horses and could take turns riding them, otherwise the escape distance would only be closer.

The winter on the grassland was extremely terrible, and they did not bring any supplies for the winter except some dry food.

If their team was not made up of strong men, most of the women and children would have frozen to death.

Ahema Khan frowned, he always had a bad feeling in his heart.

Before this, he had sent out dozens of scouts to investigate the surrounding movements.

One part goes forward, giving early warning of surrounding dangers.

Some of them stayed outside Gaochang City to find out the movements of the Ming army.

"Great Khan, it is still four hundred miles from here to Chalishi."

Yalan came to Ahem Khan to discuss the marching route.

"I suggest that we do not rest during the day and arrive at Chalishi before sunset."

"After a night's rest in Chalishi, there are still 800 miles to go from Chalishi to Aksu."

"In three or four days, we will reach Aksu City."

Ahema Khan nodded and said, "Let's follow the route you mentioned."

"I just don't know what's going on in Gaochang City..."

Ya Lan wanted to say something to comfort her, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.

At this time, a childish voice sounded from behind Ahema Khan: "Hong Taiji will be fine!"

The speaker was a fourteen-year-old child who looked somewhat similar to Man Suer.

"Taiji..."

Ahema Khan turned around and touched the child's face: "Saiyi is right, your brother will be fine."

This child was the youngest son of Ahama Khan, the third brother of Mansur, and Sutan Said, who was also the taiji of the Turpan Khanate.

This person later founded the last khanate of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, the Yarkand Khanate, with its capital in Yarkand City.

The Yarkand Khanate was destroyed by the Dzungar tribe 166 years later.

After the fall of the Yarkand Khanate, the Chagatai Khanate founded by Chagatai Borjigin, the second son of Genghis Khan, was officially and completely destroyed.

After a short rest, Ahama Khan led his troops again and set off for Chalishi.

After running for a while, Ahama Khan suddenly heard several cries of grief and anger coming from behind him.

"Great Khan!" "Great Khan!"

Ahama Khan stopped his horse and looked back, and found that it was the scout who had stayed outside Gaochang City to inquire about the movements of the Ming army who reported.

When Ahama Khan saw the scout's angry expression and shrill voice, the uneasiness in his heart was instantly magnified countless times.

He asked anxiously: "How is it going?"

"Are the Ming troops chasing us?!"

The scout burst into tears, his voice trembling: "The Ming army has not left the city yet, but...but..."

"But what?! Tell me now!"

Ahama Khan was extremely anxious.

The scout recalled the horrific scene he had seen before and spoke in despair and pain.

"The Ming army massacred the city!"

"They even built a Jingguan for our people outside the city!"

"The Ming dragon flag on the Jingguan is still hanging with Hong Taiji's head!"

"And on the bottom of the city wall of Gaochang City, it was written in blood: Anyone who kills a Ming citizen will be massacred!"

"what?!"

Ahama Khan's gaze suddenly became straight.

Suddenly he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and a buzzing sound in his ears.

All the strength in his limbs was suddenly drained away, and he fell off his horse without any warning!
"Sweat!"

"Father Khan!"

"Khan, how are you?!"

"Great Khan, wake up!"

"..."

The entire army was in a panic. Yalan, Said and others jumped off their horses and picked up Ahama Khan who had fallen to the ground.

Yalan and Said looked anxious and held Ahama Khan, at a loss as to what to do.

Ahama Khan was heartbroken and heartbroken.

For his own eldest son Mansur, and for all the people of the Turpan Khanate.

Ahama Khan struggled to open his eyes, spat out a mouthful of blood, his face full of sorrow.

"Yalan! I regret it so much!"

"If we had known this, we should not have invaded Hamiwei, massacred the city, or even abandoned the city and fled!"

"The Ming Dynasty court has gone crazy!"

"They really want to wipe out our Turpan Khanate!"

After saying this, Ahama Khan became so angry that he fainted.

"Sweat!"

Yalan was in tears, how could he not feel regretful?

If you knew that the Ming Dynasty was a conservative dynasty that wanted to follow the kingly way and win people over with virtue.

It became an empire that expanded outwards in a domineering manner and intimidated people.

He would never dare to massacre the entire Hami Acropolis!
But at this moment, it's no use saying regret.

The most urgent task is to rush to Aksu City as soon as possible and ask Mahamukhan for help!
Otherwise, not only will the entire Turpan Khanate be destroyed, but the place of Turpan will also fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Yalan carried Ahama Khan onto the horse and immediately pulled the reins.

At the same time, he ordered the entire army: "Everyone listen up, rush to Aksu City at full speed!"

"call!"

The extremely grief-stricken remnants of the Turpan Khanate were forced to suppress their anger and sadness and rushed towards Aksu City at full speed.

……

Gaochang City.

After building the Jingguan, Xu Chang arranged people to be on duty and let his soldiers relax and rest for three days.

While the soldiers were resting, Xu Chang first wrote a memorial to Zhu Youtang.

He recorded every detail of what had happened in the past few days and sent someone to send it to the capital.

At the same time, Xu Chang also fulfilled his promise and rewarded the first soldier who entered Gaochang City.

This man's name was Fang Rongshou, and he was a sergeant in the Fifth Army Camp.

He was immediately promoted by Xu Chang to the rank of captain of the Fifth Army Camp, and was promised to pay him one thousand taels of silver and one thousand cattle and sheep after the war.

Xu Chang's generous rewards made the other soldiers envious and their blood boiled.

Afterwards, people were sent to plunder Gaochang City for supplies, including beef, mutton, cow and sheep skins, Mongolian horses, etc., which were all resources useful for marching and fighting.

The beef and mutton were directly distributed to the three armies, providing a good meat treat for the soldiers who had been fighting continuously.

Cow and sheep skins are essential for wintering on the grasslands. Some injured soldiers also need cow and sheep skins to keep warm.

As for the Mongolian horses, some remained with the army, while others were taken back to the Ming Dynasty along with the captured young women.

After resting for three days, Xu Chang ordered those lightly injured soldiers to stay in Gaochang City to recuperate.

At the same time, two thousand soldiers from the Three Thousand Camp, three thousand soldiers from the Shenji Camp, and five thousand five hundred soldiers from the Army Camp were left behind to guard Gaochang City.

Those seriously injured soldiers returned to Ming Dynasty along with the team escorting prisoners.

At the same time, the donkey carts responsible for transporting food and fodder would bring back the bodies of the Ming soldiers who died on the battlefield after transporting the food and fodder.

At this time, Gao Chang still had 30,000 soldiers in the Xianying Camp, 4,000 soldiers in the Shenji Camp, more than 20,000 soldiers in the Three Thousand Camp, and 43,000 soldiers in the Five Army Camp.

After making all preparations, Xu Chang led the remaining Ming troops out of Gaochang and continued westward!
Gao Chang sat in the center of the army and waved his hand.

"Army attack!"

"Target, Aksu City!"
