The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 487 He's a Hero
"Hahaha."

"You are a good man."

large account.

Guili Chihan praised.

He was worried about annexing Hami.

Hami surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. How to smoothly annex Hami without causing a counterattack from the Ming Dynasty was something Guili Chihan had been thinking about.

The main thing is Anke Timur.

As long as this person is eliminated, he will be able to take over Hami.

The Han people in front of him brought him good news. The Ming Dynasty was now very unstable internally and the people were filled with resentment. Guili Chihan was definitely waiting for the opportunity.

Sudden.

Alu Taibao asked curiously: "You are purchasing cotton in Hami. I heard that the business is not small. Why do you want to help us?"

Inside the tent, everyone looked at the Han man.

"The emperor's grandson is acting against the will and relying on his power to oppress us and other people."

The man said without changing his expression: "If the king regards his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as his countrymen; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as his own. Kou Yu."

"well said."

Guili Chihan laughed.

He didn't care what the Han man's sincerity was, as long as he could win Hami, it wouldn't hurt to give him some benefits.

"This Khan captures Hami, and the entire Hami cotton business will be handed over to you."

"Thank you profusely."

The man smiled from ear to ear and said: "But please ask the Khan for permission to arrange this matter. Otherwise, if the country knows about the villain's move, it may be detrimental to the villain."

Wait for that person to leave.

The tent became quiet.

"I'm afraid there's a plan behind this."

The right prime minister Malhaza, who was at odds with Arutai, raised his concerns.

It’s not that he necessarily objected.

But he will definitely oppose the people Arutai brings, and will not easily let Arutai get the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

It's him again.

Arutai frowned.

As long as he supports something, the other party will oppose it, and as long as he opposes it, the other party will support it.

This person must be removed.

Guili Chihan asked: "What is your advice, Prime Minister Right?"

The people in the tent are different from the forces that have arisen in the desert, Hami, Yilipali and other places.

They were all nobles of the former Yuan Dynasty and were deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains.

As the power declined, internal conflicts became more and more intense.

Guili Chihan was the Great Khan who took advantage of the civil strife in Oala and was supported by others. He split from Oala and formed a separate force.

Arutai is powerful, and Guili Chihan relies on Arutai, but he must also be on guard against him, so he supports Ma'erhaza and others.

"Then the cotton purchased by the Han merchant in Hami is sold to the Central Plains. His interests are in the Central Plains. Why should he risk it to help us?"

"Is there anything strange? Han merchants have always been like this."

Arutai mocked.

"As he said, the Ming Dynasty is internally unstable and has no power to worry about Hami. We have annexed Hami and are paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty. For the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is just a different person. As long as he abides by his rules, he will definitely not raise troops. Crusade, not to mention the internal instability of Ming Dynasty."

"Didn't he have a monopoly on cotton in Hami during the introduction period? Han merchants were the most profitable."

"Don't the Great Khans want to annex Hami?"

Arutai asked rhetorically.

Guili Chihan changed his attitude.

Regardless of whether there was a Han merchant or not, annexing Hami was his goal. Only after annexing Hami could he control his plans and then turn around and annex Oara.

"But there are already Ming troops stationed in Hami."

Seeing Guili Chihan's attitude, Ma'er Haza quickly reminded him.

"Only a few hundred people."

Arutai was not impressed.

"I heard that the Ming Dynasty's new army is powerful and should not be underestimated."

"How can a few hundred people defend against such a huge Hami? Even if he is strong, what can he do if we don't fight him head-on."

"A few of his people will be attacked in a sneak attack today, and a few of his people will be attacked in a sneak attack tomorrow. Let's see how long he can defend himself."

If they dare to split from Oara, they must have an adventurous spirit.

Expansion is their wish.

Even Ma'erhaza wants to expand in his heart, but he just doesn't want Arutai to make meritorious deeds.

"Taking advantage of the conference next month, I will arrange for someone to poison Ankh Timur. The Taibao will be responsible for harassing the Ming army and making them tired. Finally, we will find an opportunity to kill them all."

Just like history.

Guili Chihan decided to poison Anke Timur and then annex Hami in one fell swoop.

the difference is.

Hami had several hundred more Ming troops, which was also the upper limit of the garrison size that Anke Timur could accept from the Western Region Province.

……

The desert is solitary.

The yellow sand all over the sky makes it hard to open your eyes.

"I really want to go home."

A veteran was tired from walking and stopped to take a breath. Looking at the endless desert, he couldn't help but think of his hometown.

At first, dozens of their guard soldiers followed Lian Zining northward. Later, Lian Zining left, but they stayed.

Unexpectedly, after being divided, he was not able to stay in Peiping, and was divided into the Western Region Province.

There was movement from his waist, and the veteran turned around and saw a young man bending down on his knees and opening the plug of his water bag.

"You need to change this habit. How old are you?"

The veteran, as before, remained motionless to prevent the young man from choking when he drank the water, just like the young man did when he was a child.

Young people have their own water bags.But the young man lost his father when he was young, and his mother didn't know whether she was abducted or ran away on her own. She was recruited into the guard station and has been following the veteran.

He has been drinking water like this since he was a child.

But he was taller than the veteran.

He has grown up, but the veteran has grown old.

"In two years, when I have more money in my hand, I will go back with you, and I will also look for my mother." The young man stood up and wiped his mouth.

He heard the nostalgia of veterans.

"I'm old, you are different." The veteran shook his head.

"You always have to find your mother."

The young man smiled.

This reason makes the veteran unable to refute.

"Where to find it?" The veteran looked embarrassed.

"When I was young, I was ignorant. I heard people say that I had seen my mother on the red boat on the river, but I didn't dare to look for her. Now that I have grown up, I will always find her. If she was abducted and not by myself. She ran away, no matter what she said, she would be rescued."

"Although the Western Province is desolate, you did a good job in the New Army. It would be a pity to give up." The veteran murmured.

No matter how many people want to join the new army, they are not qualified.

The old man is not qualified.

He and the group of people who came to Peiping were military households themselves, and they moved to the Western Provinces in the name of military households.

But young people are different.

Because the Dusi Yamen sympathized with the young man, the young man received good care. He just joined the New Army this year, but he had to give up.

"Let's go."

The young man had no explanation.

How can old men not know about young people?

The young man regarded him as his father and wanted to be filial to him.

Camel procession.

It carried the staff of the Exploration Department, paid laborers from the Earth Guard Station, soldiers sent by the New Army, and local guides.

There were people of all identities, and more than thirty people traveled throughout the Hami desert.

People draw maps to find water sources in the desert, as well as the necessary exploration. Compared with exploration in other places, exploration in the desert is the least.

Because it is really impossible to survive in the desert.

Starting from Andingwei, we finally walked out of the desert and arrived near Hamiwei.

They reached their destination.

The new army was in a military camp two hundred miles east of Hamiwei.

Ankh Timur did not agree to supply supplies to the New Army, and he requested to limit the number of the New Army. In the end, Zhu Neng only sent a small battalion of the New Army, with more than 450 people.

Although there are only about 450 people, some supplies can be purchased locally, but supplies from Jiayuguan are still needed.

In order to supply these 450 people, dozens of times more material and manpower are needed than at the military depot along the railway line within Jiayu Pass.

The military households in the guard station in Jiayuguan have to transport supplies here every month.

According to the latest plan, it is planned to implement a large well system around the location of the military camp and a half-cultivation and half-grazing management method.

This is the foundation for long-term maintenance of local military garrison.

That’s why veterans want to go home.

After moving from Peiping to the Western Provinces, the veterans had little complaints and their lives were relatively easy.

But the veterans were no longer willing to move from Jiayuguan to Hami.

Although there are many green spaces in Hami, most of them are deserts. They have to deal with yellow sand every day. Veterans are not accustomed to the climate and environment here.

The young man said goodbye to the veteran, went to report to his sentry, and told the veteran to come to him when he returned to Jiayuguan.

He wanted to take a leave of absence as a gift to the veteran.

The staff of the survey department will stay for a few days to sort out the data they have collected, and their entourage will also stay for a few days.

When the young man returned to his sentry team, his colleagues were not training, but studying.

Li Jian was promoted from captain to sentry officer.

Firstly, it was because he was sent to Hami, but because after verification, it was found out that the soldier in their team who did not return to the team had died while saving others locally, so Li Jian's punishment was cancelled.

The whole camp is learning.

The person involved was a colleague of Li Jian's former team.

All ninety officers and soldiers in the sentry are learning from the glorious deeds of their comrades who sacrificed their lives to save others.

Li Jian was not here, so he ran to find the warden.

"It should be reported."

"Although he is just a soldier, his spirit is worth learning from everyone." Li Jian said firmly.

"The headquarters is already discussing how to deal with the aftermath."

The guard reassured.

Li Jian looked at the guard closely.

The guard smiled bitterly.

Eating sand in the desert is not something anyone would envy.

Military households like the veterans who were moved to the Western Provinces were a group of foreigners, but none of the military households like the Yanshan Three Guards moved out.

The same goes for the military.

The Western Region Province did mobilize a lot of new troops, but the real old troops still stayed in Jiayuguan.

It is already strange to be able to send an elite team like Li Jian's.

To be honest.

It was simply because Li Jian's team was punished. At that time, because some soldiers did not return to the team as scheduled, their team was sent to Hami.

Although things have come to light, they are already here, right?

"Captain."

"It's true that I don't have a single thought about where to station myself." Li Jian said sincerely: "But my comrade, he has washed away his own shame, and also washed away our shame. He is a hero, so he should Enjoy being treated like a hero.”

"Okay, I'll go to Jiayuguan myself."

At Li Jian's insistence, the defense finally relented.
