Chapter 1367 Zhengxi
The news that Yili Bali had come down in the wind followed the horse's hoof as if it had grown legs, and soon passed through the Yili River Valley along the foot of Tianshan Mountain, and spread to the other side of the world.

The person who collected this news was the new Great Khan of the Kazakh Khanate, Tavukel Khan.

They are at war with the Great Khan of Tashkent, a small khanate whose name means Stone City and is a town with a lot of history.

Tavukal Khan's father died in battle on the way to pursue Babai Khan in Tashkent, and then Tavukal Khan succeeded to the throne and continued to pursue, killing Babai Khan and dedicated it to Abdullah Khan of the Bukhara Khanate. , Hearing the news from the east from the caravan returning from Yili.

They said that in the ninth year of Wanli in the Datong calendar, under the order of Emperor Khan of the Ming Dynasty, Tongzhi, the governor of Neikarka from the Hetao of the Liaohe River in the far east, and Boerjijin Yehehongbatulu Chaohua Khan were subject to the Beiyang conquest to the west Under the jurisdiction of the general Qi, the Mongolian Light Army of the five battalions was combined, and the division was marched westward.

They crossed the Altai Mountains and plundered the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains. They were invincible, and finally arrived at the Ili River Valley in the spring and summer of the 11th year of Wanli. Submerged, they want to conquer everything in the west, the Yarkant Khanate has surrendered, and the next one standing in front of them is the Kazakh Khanate.

Such gossip and rumors would not have panicked Tavukele Khan. He just let the tribe stationed in the Seven Rivers Valley go east to investigate the movements of the Mongols on the way back with his army.

After investigating, he was really shocked. Many tribes over there were out of his control.

In the east of the Kazakh Khanate, the war has never stopped. Since the fourth year of Jiajing Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, in order to control the trade routes to the west and the fine pasture land in the Seven Rivers Basin, the Oala tribes have invaded westward, opening up their relationship with the Kazakh Khanate. The first page of the war.

Although Oala has a large number of people, they are a relatively loose tribal alliance, and there are many attacks within the tribes. Their wars with the Kazakh Khanate are often one or several tribes against the entire Kazakh Khanate, and they are defeated in the war. More wins than few, so that the tribes in the cracks in the Qihe River Basin left Oirat and joined the Kazakh Khanate.

The Kazakh Khanate readily accepted their surrender and used them to hold back the Oirat Alliance's invasion.

Now that the envoys sent by the Great Khan to those tribes have not returned, I am afraid that the news of the Great Ming's expedition to the east is true.

Oala has a great Khan of Oirat. Before that, their Khan had not participated in the war with the Kazakh Khanate. He had been busy dealing with the rising Jin Kingdom Alta in the east, and only a few days ago he was free to manage the west.

No longer worrying about Jin Guo is not because Ida is dead, but Hanihongor Khan has found an easier way to win-join and be done.

If you don't agree with me, I will answer if you don't agree with me. You can still accept it for a while.

The reason why the Heshuo tribe was able to be the leader in Oala is that their Khan has always been the blood of the gold family. This blood becomes thinner as it goes west, so the eastern Mongolia has a particularly strong sense of superiority in the western expedition.

Not to mention those chaotic khanates in the west, even the other tribes of the Oirat Alliance are all affiliated to the assimilated Mongolia.

What is blood vessel suppression?
The leaders of the Mongolian army under Qi Jiguang, the Chechen Hong Taiji of the heavy army, Dong Changang and Chaohua of the light army, have a per capita Borzhijin family.

There are too many soldiers and horses under his command, and the command system has become disordered. At this time, he finally found a place to rest, and Qi Jiguang urgently needed to reorganize his troops.

He first merged the teachers of the Zhejiang Army and the Long Live Army, and selected more than [-] people who had made great contributions to organize them into forty thousand households, which were widely distributed in Luntai, Tubo, and Yili, and divided the cultivated land and pasture land. The tribes of the exiles were garrisoned.

At the same time, report to the imperial court for the new establishment of the Ili Metropolitan Command and Envoy Division, and ask the Ministry of War and Officials to send county officials and military officers.

The remaining troops were combined with the Mongolian light army and heavy army, and they were formally swallowed into the Ming army system.

So far, there is no longer a Mongolian light army and a heavy army, only the Ming Dynasty's Western Army.

The commander of the capital is also led by Qi Jiguang, the commander of the Tongzhi Dong Changang, Chaohua, and I Da Cong Sun Longhu General Kutuktu Chechen Hong Taiji, the commander of the Tongzhi has 72 members each, and has [-] departments under the jurisdiction of [-] households. The general of the Han Dynasty served as Qianhu, and the minister served as deputy Qianhu, completely disbanding the former Qing army.

Each thousand households consisted of five hundred infantry, three hundred heavy cavalry, one hundred artillery, and one hundred airships. Among them, there were only 33 heavy cavalry under the command of the heavy cavalry, and the rest were auxiliary soldiers; the artillery had two cannons, and the airship had boats. One, fifty baggage carts.

Of Qi Jiguang's four-way army, only the six guards of Liang Menglong, the governor of the Saibei Railway, are left to maintain their original formation, but they are no longer Qi Jiguang's troops. It must be impossible to catch up with him.

In addition, he conveniently redistributed the cattle, sheep, horses, and camels that he had brought along in the previous Western Expedition. Thousands of households led nomadic herds, and all had horses, regardless of whether they were on foot or on horseback. Instructor functions, imparting skills such as exploration, surveying and mapping, cavalry tactics, and discipline training.

This is also what Qi Jiguang really wants to do. These things are incompatible with the original Mongolian army. They don’t receive military pay, and all they get is rewards from combat looting. The troops of the Central Plains Dynasty were stationed in the big camp and had the opportunity to learn more.

During the integration, the two sides explored the most suitable way of rewarding military exploits and conferring official positions.

However, before figuring out a method that really suits them, the thousands of households still have to lead their troops to nomad around, raising livestock while surveying and mapping the surrounding routes.

The biggest difference from the previous one is that there are more connections between the thousands of households. All the troops are like a big net, covering the entire Ili River Valley.

In a short period of time, Qi Jiguang didn't want to continue his expedition to the west. His soldiers were very tired, and the canned food was almost exhausted, and the gunpowder stock was seriously insufficient. He had to wait for the troops to make new canned food here, and wait for new gunpowder to be delivered from the rear. There are also supplies of firearms, armor pieces, and spare parts for weapons in the rear.

The rear here refers to Tong Deng of Tubo.

They found nitrate ore in the Qijiao Well where Dayun defeated Ma Heima, and several nitrate ore and sulfur producing areas where gunpowder was made in Yarkand, Tubo in the past. Now he is making charcoal here, just waiting for the things to be delivered. Replenish gunpowder.

But nomadic herding on borders where land ownership is not clear is dangerous, and disputes can erupt if one is not careful, especially when both sides are armed.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, Qi Jiguang intends to recuperate here, but his subordinates on the front line report that a new war has started to their west, and their new opponent is the Kazakh Khanate.

　good evening!
