Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 273 A fierce man comes from Shaanxi

Sultan was very happy to obtain Gansu. The land west of Hexi has always been rich. In more than 1407 years from the early years of Hongwu to the fifteenth year of Yongle (), the Ming Dynasty migrated to Gansu on a large scale eight times, and the population was also quite large. . With this territory, the economic, political and military strength of the Kingdom of David was greatly enhanced, and it had considerable capital to conquer the world.

However, not all of Hexi was owned by David, and the Lanzhou area was still not recovered. He has ordered Xin Sizhong, the commander-in-chief of Lanzhou, Qi Zhizhen, the commander-in-chief of Xi'an, and Ding Guodong, the deputy general of Lanzhou, to lead more than ten thousand troops from Zhuanglang to the south to attack Lanzhou; he also ordered Fan Dingge, the commander-in-chief of Yan'an, Ma Anbang, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, and Mila Yin, the deputy general of Ningxia, to leave Zhuanglang. Head east to attack Ningxia. At this time, Lanzhou belonged to the Lintao Prefecture of Shaanxi Province. The former general of Lanzhou of the Great Shun Army, Dang Shousu, had already fled. In Suletan's view, it was a land without an owner, and the army would naturally capture it as soon as it arrived.

Changshengtian always liked to joke with the emperor, and both Lanzhou and Ningxia were occupied. The Qing court sent a fierce man named Meng Qiaofang to Shaanxi Province to serve as governor, with the title of right minister of the Ministry of War and right deputy of the capital censor. As soon as Meng arrived in Shaanxi, he went around recruiting rebels and conquering unconquered subjects. Ma De, He Hongqi, Li Mingyi in Ningxia, He Zhen in Hanzhong, Zhe Ziming in Qingzui Village, and Gao Yixiang in Luji Village were all forced to surrender. The whole territory of Shaanxi has become a pure land.

Governor Meng turned out to be a man with a story. When he was young, he served as the deputy general of the Ming army, and his father Meng Guoyong served as the general soldier of Ningxia in the Ming Dynasty. In the fourth year of Tiancong (1630), Huang Taiji broke through Yongping. He and fifteen people including Bai Yangcui, deputy general Yang Wenkui, and guerrilla Yang Shengyuan, surrendered. When this group of generals went to Huang Taiji's camp to meet him, they felt uneasy. Manchuria, a land of tigers and wolves, might be ruined.

Unexpectedly, there was neither tiger nor wolf, only an amiable fat sheep. Huang Taiji was very polite and "sincere" to them. When he summoned them, he gave them wine with golden scorpions and said: "I am different from the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. All my ministers will be given a seat and have a meal together."

After a meal, Lieutenant General Meng was impressed by Huang Taiji's charm and was willing to drive for him. Although the Qing side did not promote him at that time, he was a deputy general in the Ming Dynasty and still a deputy general in the Qing Dynasty. He still worked very hard and even dedicated the envoys sent by the Ming army to persuade Huang Taiji to surrender. He was determined to be a traitor, made countless meritorious deeds, and finally rose up step by step, until he reached the high position of governor.

Although he was loyal to the Qing court, his uncle, the regent, was not willing to completely trust the Han people, and sent another mother-in-law: the internal minister He Luohui was worshiped as the general of Dingxi to guard Xi'an. He was not upset and did his best to help his master consolidate his rule.

Governor Meng is very good at using people, and the soldiers and horses he sends are all very capable of fighting.

Fan Dingge, Ma Anbang, and Milayin had just arrived in Ningxia and had not yet established a stable foothold. Governor Meng's generals Zhao Guangrui and Ma Ning gave them a warning, each leading two thousand cavalry to flank them. Thanks to Fan Dingge's caution, the troops were divided into several sections and supported each other, so they were not defeated. Even so, the former army suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw from Ningxia.

Xin Sizhong, Qi Zhizhen, and Ding Guodong were even worse. They encountered Zhang Yong and Chen Wanlue, the fierce generals under Governor Meng. Zhang Yong, in particular, was not only brave, but also strategic and rigorous in running the army. As soon as they made contact, the Qing army pretended to be defeated, lured the guards to go deep, and set up an ambush in the west of Lanzhou City. Poor Xin Sizhong, who was eager to perform meritorious service in order to repay Emperor Qianyuan's "favor of knowing him", but was ambushed. As a result, he failed to achieve success. Instead, he suffered a huge defeat and fled back in despair. The two defeated armies fled back to Zhuanglang, and urgent documents drifted like snowflakes to Ganzhou.

"Bang! The Qing Dynasty bullied others so much that they dared to take food from my mouth!" Sultan slammed the table in anger. He couldn't help but be angry. He had already regarded Lanzhou and Ningxia as his own, but unexpectedly someone cut him off. How could he not be angry?
snort! The main force of the Qing court is still in Jiangnan at this time, so what if I occupy all of Shaanxi? What can Dorgon do to me? Sultan sneered again and again, and wanted to gather his troops to show the Manchu Qing's strength.

Changshengtian continued to joke with him, and two major events happened one after another.

The first thing was that Luntai, the capital of the Suzhou Maohui (Uighur tribe), rebelled, and even attacked Hongshan Fort, Shahe Fort, and Xidianzi Fort to surround Suzhou.

This Turun Tai has some origins. He was a prince from Turpan, and he had a grudge against Emperor Qianyuan of the Wei Kingdom for the country's subjugation. Therefore, after the Wei army entered Gansu, all the tribes surrendered, but he did not surrender. After the Qing army entered Shaanxi, Governor Meng extended an olive branch to him and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of Suzhou. He thought he had support, so he gathered tens of thousands of people to bring disaster to Suzhou. The defender of Suzhou was Qianhu Aerqi, the capital of Mongolia. Seeing that the enemy was strong, he did not dare to go out to fight in the city, so he led three thousand troops to defend the city.

Seeing that someone dared to cause trouble under his nose, Sultan became angry and wanted to fight in person to show this guy who was overestimating his capabilities.

"How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? I am the governor of Gansu, and I am willing to share the burden with the Lord and lead five thousand cavalry to defeat the enemy." Alatancang, the confidant general, asked for a fight.

"There are more than ten thousand thieves. Are five thousand soldiers and horses too small? Alatancang, don't show off." It is better to challenge the general than to provoke him. When Alatancang heard this, he was so excited that his sword eyebrows stood up, "My Mongolian cavalry is invincible in the world, and there are only tens of thousands of local bandits, and I cannot bear a single blow from my slaves."

"Good! You are indeed my David's general!" Sultan poured a bowl of wine in toast.

Alatangcang drank it all in one gulp and led five thousand cavalry on a gallop. When they arrived at the Touluntai military camp in Suzhou, Mao Huijun was unaware and was cooking. The guards rushed into the camp to kill them all. Touluntai panicked and fled to the Red Water, where he accidentally fell into the water and drowned.

After one wave ended, another wave arose, and a second thing happened: a Ming Dynasty clan member who claimed to be Yanyan King Zhu Shizhong asked to see him.

According to this person, he was the cousin of the last Su King Zhu Shiqi. When King He Jin of Zuo Jin conquered Lanzhou, he happened to be not in the city and escaped the disaster. Looking for someone to identify it, it turned out to be real.

"Your Majesty, you can live with rare things," one counselor suggested; "Your Majesty, you can live with rare things," another counselor suggested.

Since everyone says that Zhu Shizhu, the Yanyan King of the Ming Dynasty, is a treasure, of course he should cherish it! Emperor Qianyuan sent three hundred elite soldiers to control or protect him. He also ordered Wu Changwei, Chang Hada of Qianhu, to send a large number of soldiers to monitor him day and night.

After these two things. Suletan finally understood that although he occupied Gansu, the people of Gansu were not yet stable, and the rule of David in Gansu was not strong. Moreover, the Junggar tribe and the Heshuote tribe are still against themselves, so it is extremely unwise to fight on multiple fronts. Therefore, it is not yet time to completely break up with the Qing Dynasty and fight a big war.

While he ordered Qianhu Bolu from the capital to lead Qi Xingzhou, Li Hongyuan, and Wanjin generals to reinforce Zhuang Langwei; at the same time, he sent envoys to Xi'an to ask the Qing government why they attacked the troops he sent to take over Lanzhou and Ningxia. On the surface, he was sending envoys to investigate, but in fact he was looking for an opportunity to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty. Only a master of power and strategy could understand the secrets inside.
