The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 449 "Face Changing" Famous General
The sky is full of yellow sand, and the sun is covered by clouds.

A troop of camels was walking on the sand. This was the mission of Yilibali. In addition to trading commodities, there were also tributes.

People in the mission looked tense.

From Yilibali to Jiayuguan, there is a journey of thousands of miles, and it takes a long time to walk, and the road is full of dangers.

"Father is too timid and afraid of getting into trouble."

A young man complained dissatisfiedly that he was 1 unwilling to take this dangerous journey.

"The black son Huo Zhe Khan also has no choice. The forces that attacked and killed the construction site must want to provoke the Ming army to war against us."

Hearing the consolation from the officials of the mission, the young man remained silent.

"Ugh."

"I'm not worried about going to Peiping. What I'm worried about is that it will be difficult to reach Jiayuguan after a journey of more than a thousand miles."

The concerns of the young people were not refuted by the people below.

In this land full of chaos, the war has never stopped. After you sing, I will appear on the stage. Those who leave, those who disappear, and those who come new will never stop.

Although he is the prince of Yilibali, the young man is well aware of the disorder in this land.

There are also countless horse thieves.

"Huh."

There was confusion in front of the mission, and a mighty team appeared on the horizon of the yellow sand, approaching them.

"But Prince Shamechagan?"

"It's the flag of the Ming army."

The young man breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to reply. He was right here.

According to the research of later scholars.

In the classified vocabulary collection of Chinese Uyghur in Ming Dynasty—Gaochangguan Miscellaneous Characters, there are few Arabic loanwords and more Chinese loanwords.

There are daily necessities such as pots, stools, tea, flowers, writing utensils such as ink, official positions such as grand master, general soldier, thousand households, animals in Han mythology such as dragons, and other words such as merit, and even interjections such as zai wait.

In Hami and Turpan in the Ming Dynasty, the influence of Chinese on the local languages ​​was greater than that in the Han, Jin, Tang and Song Dynasties.

It can be seen from Zeng Qi's poems such as "The vassal chiefs go out to welcome the Chinese, and the wine in the dome is like milk."

The upper-class figures of the ethnic minorities in the Ming Dynasty were not only "able to speak Chinese" in the Tang Dynasty, but they could "know Chinese" without translation.

There is a big difference in the meanings of the words Neng and Tong.

From the Western Regions Protectorate of the Han Dynasty, leading soldiers to garrison the fields, officials at all levels took office in turn, with the increase of the Han population and the deepening of management power, Chinese was the official language at that time.

"Entering the quality in Han", studying in the capital.

In the Tang and Song Dynasties, and even in the Yuan Dynasty, Han people mostly used Han people in the Yuan Dynasty's settlements in the Western Regions. By the Ming Dynasty, many feudal chieftains could already speak Chinese directly.

It can be seen that the changes in each generation are intensified.

Including Yunnan, Guizhou and other vast areas, it was further stabilized in the Ming Dynasty.

"I will be ordered by Chen Gong to escort the little prince to Jiayuguan." The leader of the Ming army said loudly.

"But Mr. Chen Cheng?"

Shami Chagan asked in surprise.

"It's Mr. Chen Cheng."

After receiving the affirmation, Shami Chagan and others were overjoyed.

"With Mr. Chen here, there is hope for the trip to Peking." Shami Chagan and his people laughed.

desert.

There is a big temperature difference between morning and night.

Heat to death at noon, freeze to death at night.

Seeing that the Ming army soldiers were wearing thin clothes, Shami Chagan took the initiative to give them cotton-padded clothes.

The leading general greeted him politely. Seeing that Sha Mi Chagan was sincere, he couldn't help feeling good about him and accepted his favor.

By the bonfire, Shami Chagan chatted with the general of the Ming army.

"My father Khan didn't know about the railway, and he was also very angry. He heard that Yan Shizi has a very strict temper, and he was worried that it would cause misunderstanding, so he sent me to Beiping on his own initiative."

"Chen Gong didn't think it was the black son Huo Zhehan. Someone wanted to start a war to make a profit, so he was worried about the safety of the prince. He invited General Zhu Neng and sent my troops to meet the prince."

The general of the Ming army did not hide anything and told Shamichagan what he knew.

"Mr. Chen is a sage who knows us well."

Shami Chagan sighed.

"Businessmen in Peiping have placed a lot of orders from Yilibali. This year, more people are planting cotton in Yilibali."

"It has brought us benefits. No one is willing to start a war, and there is Timur in the west watching over him, so Yilibali will never dare to betray Ming Dynasty."

While chatting, Shami Chagan stared at the military belt around the waist of the Ming army general.

Arm belts are complicated.

Some are filled with grenades, some are filled with paper and gunpowder, and some are filled with lead, etc., which look unusual.

Shami Chagan looked at the more than a hundred Ming army cavalry again. Everyone had the plate armor that reflected the dazzling light in the firelight under the night.

"Are you a new army?"

"Unexpectedly, the prince has heard about our new army." The general of the Ming army was a little surprised.

"Ha ha."

Shami Chagan laughed and said, "The might of the new army is not only heard by Yili, but also by Timur who is thousands of miles away. Kugeda and other leaders have seen Ugqi Hashiha, Ugqi Hashha led his troops to move westward, there is such a big movement, how can anyone not know the truth."

"Where did Ugzihashiha lead the people?"

The general of the Ming army asked curiously.

Sha Michagan shook his head and explained: "No one knows, because there are too many rumors, some say that he went to join Timur, others said that he went to Kugeda, and some even said that he went to the Far West. place."

The Ming army generals were not too suspicious.

In the impression of later generations, when it comes to grassland, it seems to be either Inner Mongolia or Outer Mongolia. In fact, there is no boundary between grassland and desert.

Although the term strategic space did not exist in ancient times, it is not that they do not understand this truth.

It’s not that the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty went to Türkiye and it was over.

Including the current Ming Dynasty, there are also people from Turkey who settled in Nanjing. The most famous ones are the three fathers and sons of Madruddin who not only settled in Nanjing, but also served as officials in the court.

Even India is on the rear.

There are countless losers in the grasslands and deserts who went to India to cultivate their health and well-being. Some declined, and some regrouped and made a comeback.

Including the new army's war in the area outside the Great Wall, Elbek Khan was defeated by the new army. Although he failed, his second son ran to Timur.

In history, the second son of this person is an example of a comeback, gaining land licks in the Indian mainland, and making a comeback decades later in the Yongle Year.

The world is not solid.

It has changed since ancient times.

Peaceful night.

Day two.

They really ran into a "horse thief".

Of course the horse thieves were not real horse thieves. When they saw the flag of the Ming army, they hesitated for a while, probably because the Ming army had only a hundred men, so the horse thieves did not retreat in the end and chose to attack.

Shami Chagan was ready to fight with the Ming army. There were less than 400 people on both sides, while there were more than [-] people on the opposite side.

The generals of the Ming army did not agree to join forces with Shami Chagan.

Sand Micha was so angry that he was going to die.

It has come to such an emergency, why can't we work together to fight against the enemy?

The Ming generals seemed distrustful of Shami Chagan's men.

The cavalry of the Ming army formed a separate line, not only did not stay in place to defend, but chose to attack, Shami Chagan and the others were dumbfounded.

"The Ming army is too arrogant."

"They've been like that since time immemorial."

"It's over."

……

Shami Chagan asked his subordinates to prepare for the Ming army. Now is not the time to complain. If the Ming army loses, they will hardly escape.

"Boom."

The cavalry of the Ming army marched forward indomitable.

More than [-] cavalrymen of the Ming army lined up in three rows and charged directly at the more than [-] horse thieves without stopping at all.

Relying on the strong and light cavalry armor, they were not afraid of the opponent's bows and arrows, and threw several rounds of grenades at first.

Amid the sound of the bombing, the people on the other side were turned upside down and completely lost their organization.

After a wave approached, rows of three-eyed self-generating guns aimed at the opponent, and then pulled the trigger, sparks from the fire ignited the medicine room.

"Bang bang bang."

Three-shot shotgun.

The "barrage" of a wall formed, even if the opponent had cavalry in armor, they would fall down in pieces.

The cavalry team of more than [-] people was stunned by such tactics. When they were scarred, the New Army cavalry was like an arc.

They skillfully reloaded ammunition on horseback, and opened the distance as quickly as possible.

And they seemed a little worried.

The chaotic horse thieves not only failed to catch up, but completely lost their organization and fell into a panic.

When the second round of the cavalry charge of the new army launched, the horse thieves in place scattered and fell into a rout.

The whole battle was like running water, like the most comical drama.

The new army cavalry did not pursue.

And the horse thieves didn't dare to turn around to retaliate. Everyone wanted to escape as far as possible, leaving only dead and wounded everywhere.

Shami Chagan asked his men to form a circle around the camels, and left manpower behind, preparing to take over the defeated Ming army later.

His arrangement has not been completed, but the "horse thieves" have already collapsed.

The mission with hundreds of people looked forward with silly eyes.

Sha Micha licked his lips dryly, feeling that his throat was very dry for a moment.

The Ming army was indeed very powerful, so not only did Father Khan choose to submit to Ming, but even Timur, who had sprung up in recent years, also chose to send envoys to pay tribute to Daming.

But the Ming army in front of him was a bit too strong.

More than a hundred people defeated more than two thousand "horse thieves" without any casualties.

This group of well-equipped and numerous "horse thieves" is definitely not ordinary horse thieves, but dressed as regular soldiers.

The general of the Ming army was covered with blood, and while letting the soldiers "clean up" the battlefield, he came to visit Shami Chagan.

Looking at the gentle smile of the general of the Ming army in front of him, Sha Mi Chagan no longer felt that the other party was easy to talk to. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel chilling. How did you feel that the other party's personality was too kind last night.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

Shami Chagan suddenly felt that this sentence was too reasonable.

The general who was considered gentle just now became more and more terrifying.

"The general is mighty."

Sand Mi Chagan stammered a word of praise.

"How many cavalry like generals are there in the Ming army?"

Shamechagan asked boldly.

Before arriving first, the other party actually answered him.

The general of the Ming army said truthfully: "Because the maintenance cost is too high, the whole army currently has less than [-] cavalry."

The Han people are cunning.

The person who looks so simple and honest in front of him actually knows how to deceive people.

Shami Chagan chose not to believe it.

With [-] cavalry like this, wouldn't it be like pushing the world to conquer the world?
