Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 790 The governor's plan, the Ming army stood up

Turpan in June and July is so hot that even the air looks distorted.

Whether it is Turpan City standing in an oasis in a basin in the eastern part of the Tianshan Mountains, or the three thousand Ming troops under the city, it is like a mirage, not real.

Abulun, governor of Turpan, stood under a large canopy at the top of the city, and two servants fanned him with big cattail fans, but he still wiped the sweat from his face and neck with a silk scarf time and time again.

He was puffy and sweated too easily.The creases on the neck are layered on top of each other, and it feels uncomfortable if you don't wipe it off after sweating.

"Is it really the Ming army under the city? What are they doing here?" Ablun turned his head and asked the general beside him, Aranda.

"Your Excellency, it is definitely the Ming army. Our scouts have encountered them on the east side of the sandbar, and the army is flying the red flag of the sun and the moon." Aranda pointed to the flag outside the city, "They said they were ordered to go to Ya'ergan, I want to buy some dry food, drinking water and other supplies from the city.”

"The Ming army was ordered to go to Ya'ergan?" Ablun frowned, "Why do I sound so awkward? Whose orders are they taking? Or, who can order the Ming army to go to Ya'ergan?"

Aranda said: "It is said that it was ordered by the court to go to protect the mission, and there is a customs clearance document issued by King Khan as proof."

After hearing this, Abu Lun narrowed his narrow eyes into a line, and said with a sneer, "When will the customs clearance certificate be used as a permit for troops from other countries to cross the border? I'm afraid that something happened to Ya'er?"

"What does the governor mean?"

Ablun didn't want to provoke the Ming army for no reason, but he also didn't want to follow King Khan's wishes—if it was a formal order from King Khan, he would naturally follow it, but he didn't want to betray Khan Ting for such a thing with a lot of room for manipulation. The face of the side is gone.

Even if something really happened, when the time comes, Khan will blame him, and he will have an excuse.

So he looked at the sun hanging in the hollow, and said: "Send someone to tell the Ming army that the customs clearance document can only let them pass through the border. The governor is not obliged to let them enter the city to buy things, let them go to the next city to replenish. "

Arlanda's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly gave a thumbs up, saying: "Your Excellency is brilliant, so we can't say that we can get 3000 Ming army equipment for nothing."

Ablun asked with a smile, "This governor just doesn't want to sell things to the Ming army. How can he be smart?"

Aranda said: "With this weather, if the Ming army does not have enough supplies, they will definitely not be able to reach the next city, and they may die of thirst and starvation on the Gobi desert halfway.

When the time comes, we send people over to collect their corpses. Wouldn't it be worth the equipment for 3000 people?

Your Excellency Governor, the Ming army is now famous for its excellent armor and sharp weapons.

It is said that the Heshuote people lost to them because their armor and weapons were not as good as the Ming army.

If our Turpan army can get 3000 Ming army equipment, its combat power can definitely be raised to a higher level.In this way, even Hanting has to respect you three points. "

Ablun's small eyes lit up when he heard this, and he waved his hand and said, "Do it quickly!"

"As ordered!"

···
Under the scorching sun, three thousand Ming troops lined up outside Turpan City, like poplar trees standing upright.

Although the weather was very hot, the soldiers were already wearing cloth face armor outside and gauze silk underwear inside.Instead, the helmets were replaced with hats specially designed for marching in desert and Gobi terrain, so that the soldiers would suffer less from the sun.

Even so, most of the lips of the three thousand soldiers were dry and wrinkled, and their gauze underwear and cloth face armor were also soaked in sweat, adding some weight.

In fact, at this time, the drinking water in every soldier's marching water bottle was full, but before the military order was issued, no one took a sip, even if they were very thirsty.

Li Laiheng, who stood at the forefront of the army formation, had dry lips as did Feng Jingdi, a military officer, and Wang Yi, a battalion staff officer.

It's not that they haven't drank water for a long time. In fact, they only drank water with the army in the morning. It's just that the weather is too hot, and the water evaporates quickly, so they get thirsty quickly.

Of course, drinking water is not the main problem for the pro-barracks who chose to take the Northern Silk Road.Although there are few water sources along the way, it is not impossible to find them.

However, the grain and grass and other materials carried by the army must be replenished in time to keep them above the safe amount at all times.

The food and supplies consumed by 3000 people every day are not a small amount, and in the recent journey, only the city of Turpan can provide sufficient supplies for the pro-barracks.

In other words, obtaining supplies from Turpan City is a must-achieve goal for the pro-barracks.

Because along the way, it was easier to obtain supplies from cities such as Shazhou and Hami—after all, they bought with money instead of asking for it.

So at this time, Li Laiheng and the others were quite optimistic about getting supplies. Even though the weather was extremely hot, the three of them were chatting leisurely about the history of Turpan City.

Mainly Feng Jingdi was talking, Wang Yi could occasionally interject a few words, and Li Laiheng could only listen.

"According to historical records, it was Gushi people who lived here in the early Han Dynasty, and established the Gushi Kingdom in the Turpan Basin.

In the third year of Yuanfeng Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, General Zhao Puonu led the army of Keloulan and Gushi. After that, Gushi was renamed Cheshiguo and belonged to the great Han.

Later, in order to compete for the control of the Silk Road, the Han and the Huns repeatedly competed for Cheshi and other places, and they often stationed troops here.It was not until the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty that the Shenzhou court lost control of this place.

Then in the Tang Dynasty, this place was the Gaochang Kingdom. The Tang Dynasty destroyed Gaochang and other dozens of countries, and established the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and this place was again owned by the Shenzhou court.

As for after the Tang Dynasty, they lost control of this place again.The country here is only successively subject to Liao, Song, and Western Liao.

In the fourth year of Emperor Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty, the Gaochang Uighurs killed the Supervisor of the Western Liao Dynasty and belonged to Mongolia.After that, the Gaochang Uighur Kingdom was established, which is also the Uighur Kingdom.

In the period of our Ming Dynasty, this place also belonged to our Ming Dynasty, and the Han people called this city Anle City.It was not until Yaerqiang ruled this place that it was renamed Turpan, which means 'low land' in Chinese, which is also the basin. "

After listening to Feng Jingdi's speech, Wang Yi sighed: "Feng Junzheng is so knowledgeable about the past and the present, that he can explain the historical origin of Turpan clearly."

Li Laiheng said with envy: "Feng Junzheng is really powerful, like me, I only know that this place is called Turpan, and it is the main traffic route of the Northern Silk Road, and I don't know anything else.

Eh?What is this Turpan city lord doing?Didn't we just want to send people into the city to buy some food and grass supplies? We didn't ask for it, but we didn't reply for so long? "

At the end of speaking, Li Laiheng pursed his dry lips and couldn't help complaining.

Wang Yi looked at the city of Turpan and snorted, "I'm afraid the chief of the city of Turpan has something bad in mind—this city is the residence of the governor of Turpan, and he is in charge of all the cities of Turpan in name, so he may not expect to see our [-] soldiers."

Feng Jing first pointed at the opened city gate, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, they sent someone to reply."

Li Laiheng and Wang Yi said no more.

Soon a low-ranking general from Turpan rode to the front of the battle, stopped fifty paces away, and spoke in Chinese with a strange accent at the top of his voice.

"The governor has an order. You are the Ming army. Even if you have a customs clearance certificate, you are only allowed to pass through the border and not enter the city. So you don't have to wait here any longer, go to the next city!"

This man's voice was so loud that almost three thousand soldiers of the Ming army could hear his words.

If this is an army with average military discipline and weak will, not to mention the uproar caused by hearing this, at least the soldiers will also make some movements and their expressions will change.

But the person who sent the message was surprised to find that the three thousand Ming soldiers in front of him didn't seem to hear his words, and they didn't move.The soldiers of the Ming army in the front row didn't even change their expressions, which is unbelievable.

'This Ming army is too scary. '

Thinking so in his heart, the low-level general who sent the message hurried back, not wanting to hear what Li Laiheng and others had to say.

The governor just asked him to send a message, not wanting to understand the Ming army's reaction.

It is certain that the Ming army was unhappy when they heard this, but no matter how unhappy they were, would a mere [-] Ming troops still dare to attack Turpan?
