open sea

Chapter 1325
In the tenth year of Wanli, Dayun hadn't been to Jiayuguan yet, so he didn't know what happened at that time.

Not to mention Dayun, Tong Deng didn't know anything about the affairs outside the pass, neither did the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Even who is canonized is confused, because it is the same for the emperor.

After the death of the king of the Western Regions, did the descendants come to the court to ask for canonization?Requested; have they paid tribute to the court every few years?Tribute.

That's it.

In particular, even if the countries in the Western Regions continue to quarrel, won't they have to pay tribute to the court after the quarrel, and won't they come to ask for title if the king dies?

So who cares what he does?

In fact, this problem has not been discovered until Wanli, the only emperor after Zhu Di who has the ability to send people into the Western Regions to investigate intelligence.

In the ninth year of Wanli, the Lumi region sent envoys to pay tribute... But on the other side of the sea, the Western Army was already doing business with Lumi, and they did send envoys to pay tribute.

But that was Suleiman I of the Jiajing Dynasty. In order to deal with the threat of the European coalition forces and Persia, Ottoman urgently needed to find an ally in the east that could threaten Persia. It happened that a businessman brought back news that there was a rich and powerful country in the east. .

As soon as Suleiman collected information about Dongfang, all he got was news from the Wuzong period, and there were three important keywords in it:
Bigger than Persia, the legendary Khitan, the emperor is a secret agent.

General Zhu Shou refused to allow the citizens to eat pork because of his mischievous period, and the Ottoman businessman at that time thought he was a secret agent.

An excellent natural ally, it is decided to be you, paying tribute, this is just a formality, as long as you can form an alliance to threaten Persia, who cares so much?

As a result, after the Ottoman tribute team of 90 people arrived in Daming, they followed the tribute procedure of dispatching beggars without even seeing the emperor. They were given some bottles and cans and let them go. Nine people died while defending the city.

Afterwards, there were no officials sent over there.

No one knew that in the ninth year of Wanli's reign, the so-called tribute from the five chieftains of Lumi, Arabia, Hami, Samarkand, and Turpan was all arranged by the Hami horse Heima in front of Dayun.

The scolding at the top made Dayun dumbfounded, but Dayun was not afraid, even though it was just a small Jiayuguan garrison, he took a look at the order of the governor and Tongzhi, and went back, saying: "That's just right, sir, please open the city. , when the heavenly army marches westward, Hami can be the vanguard."

Hami Ma Heima looked left and right, and froze on the spot with his hands in his hands: "Xizheng? I didn't ask for help!"

In fact, in the Western Regions, orders like this really have no gold value, because everyone has manpower, and the commander-in-chief may be the fireman, the dignified Aqimu may also be a commander, and even the Khan’s family must have a Ming hussar Only the general ordered to rule the country, otherwise the Khan seat will not be stable.

But this has nothing to do with Daming itself.

For example, Hamima Heima has become extinct, and everyone invites a leader with the right to inherit from Samarkand or Yarkand, but there is a powerful general in the country who wants to civil strife, what should we do?In other words, he did not have a command from the Ming Dynasty, and this leader is illegal.

In order to prevent this from happening, everyone got a royal order from the far east as a family heirloom.

The king wants you to be canonized, but when your army leaves Jiayuguan, I must gather my accomplices to ambush—the best Ming is the best if you can’t see Ming.

This is how Hami Ma Heima’s commander-in-chief also came about. These Turkic Mongol descendants are all related, and they are all descendants of the same ancestor. Fu was also afraid that Tubo Ma Heima would make trouble for him, so he got the official position of Hami Wei Dudu Tongzhi.

Daming's side generals used to be homeboys, and they didn't necessarily get out of customs even if they asked for help, let alone not asking for help.

All of a sudden, Dayun came out, and Hamima Heima was startled and angry. He didn't know what to do for a while, and instinctively wanted to kill the mid-level Ming officer and his subordinates in front of him, close the city gate and open the door. Tubo and Yarkand Khan asked for help.

Don't think that anti-Tuban is the same as anti-thief in your heart, but at most it's just a thief. If you can't be convinced, it's a big deal. It's a matter of paying taxes every year. When Ming goes out of customs, it is a scourge. It is a fatal threat to everyone. If you are not careful, the city lord will become a no.

"Your Excellency still don't understand why Damou entered the city in ambush instead of entering the city as an envoy?"

"Either open the city now, or let the heavenly army capture it."

Don't look at the more than a dozen Liangzhou soldiers who entered the city with him under Dayun's command, all of whom were arrested. Their faces were very calm, and they looked at Hami Ma Heima as if they were looking at a piece of fish on a chopping board. He raised his hand and said, "Or go out of the city Run for your life, right now."

"This is the place where the heavenly army must pass. It is still too late to take the family and goods to the west."

Hamima's dark face suddenly changed color, and he said with his hands behind his back: "Your skill does not look like a petty official, I captured you, and I used your life to persuade the Ming army to go back."

"You can't do it."

There was no emotion on Dayun's face. Even though his shoulders were being pressed, Dayun didn't show any panic on his face. Instead, he asked confidently: "How many defenders are there in the city? Four hundred, you only caught a dozen of us Personally, there are still two hundred beggar Jisi soldiers from the Ming Dynasty in the city, you go to the city and have a look, the [-] heavenly army has arrived."

Although he is short in intelligence, he is tall in military affairs, Dayun is not afraid of anything: "If you threaten to send out the people from the Heavenly Army, no one in this city will be able to survive. Open the city gate now, and you will still be the governor of Ming Dynasty." You know, if you follow the battle, you can get a reward, the city lord should consider for himself which is more important."

He basically didn't have the truth in his mouth.

It was 3000 miles from Shazhou to Hami, and water and food were difficult to supply along the way. It was impossible for the imperial court to send [-] troops out of the customs. In fact, only [-] people left the customs. On the contrary, there was a team of Qi Jiguang stationed in the oasis [-] miles to the north.

As for the two hundred beggar soldiers in the city, it is even more nonsense. Dayun just said it casually when he saw many beggars in the city.

But the intimidation works.

Not to mention Hami's horses, even the two soldiers who were holding Dayun were less forceful on their shoulders after hearing this.

The city lord asked people to go to the city wall to have a look, and it didn't take long for the messengers to come back. There were indeed signs of a large number of people marching in the east of the city, and they also carried artillery.

"The cannon was brought out by me. General Zhenshuo of the four-door Xuanfu ruled in Jiayuguan for three years. This city can't stop it."

Hamima Heima figured it out in no time, and asked people to let Dayun and his gang go with a smile, and said with a smile: "Don't blame the general, I was worried that you were sent by Wala's son-in-law, now I know it is The Great Tomorrow Army, since I canonize as the commander-in-chief for the emperor, how could it be difficult for the Heavenly Army? I will immediately let people watch the city gate and prepare the supplies for the army."

"Other than these, what else do I need to do?"

Dayun clasped his fists together, reversing all the previous chapters, and said: "Please ask for help from Tubo, and say that the heavenly army is attacking Hami, and it is difficult to resist."
