sob ~
A melodious horn sounded in the desert.
Ma Wensheng was thinking about the battle plan when he suddenly woke up.
"This group of Turpan people, do they really think that our Great Ming is at a disadvantage?”
Ma Wensheng suddenly stood up.”
Ma Wensheng didn't bring many soldiers with him, only about 26,000 Ming soldiers.
On the other hand, Turpan had twice as many soldiers as the Ming army.
Even though the enemy had more than twice the number of soldiers, the Turpan Khaganate was still afraid of the Ming army.
Why?
He was afraid of being beaten!
From the beginning of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and other tough Ming court had repeatedly attacked Hami.
Every time they defeated more people with fewer numbers, they killed countless Turpan people.
Since then, the Turpan people rarely fought head-on with the Ming army. The enemy advanced and retreated, and the enemy retreated and fought. This was the plan that the Turpan people had always carried out to plunder Hami.
Ma Wensheng had already changed his clothes and came to Hami City.
In truth, if Marvin had more warhorses, he was confident that he could destroy the Turpan Khaganate in a month.
But Ma Wensheng knew of the difficulties of the court, so he had never been willing to trouble the Emperor in Northern Zhili.
As a minister, Ma Wensheng's trust and loyalty to Zhu Youtang was stronger than anyone else.
The emperor ignored the public opinion and removed the position of the third rank minister of the Ministry of War, wholeheartedly supporting Ma Wensheng to manage the west.
The king treats me like this, I dare not not worry about the king.
"Ma Jinglue, I am following the orders of the Sage Emperor. I have received 10,000 warhorses from the Left Imperial Censor, Yang Yiqing. Please open the city.”
Ma Wensheng was stunned.
All the Ming soldiers on the city wall of Hami fell silent, and the muscles on their faces trembled.
Ma Wensheng was surprised and happy, but as the City Lord, he still maintained a high level of vigilance.
"Send two brothers down to investigate."
Ma Wensheng didn't dare to relax, afraid that this was a trick of the Turpan people.
After the inspection was completed.
Ma Wensheng trembled and shouted,""Open the city gates!"
Tens of thousands of warhorses flooded into Hami City.
"Administrator Ma, I have brought the decree. The wise emperor has remembered your difficulties and has never forgotten Hami.”
"I hope that Administrator Ma will not disappoint the emperor.”
Ma Wensheng cupped his fists and knelt down in the direction of North Zhili!
The soldiers behind him obeyed the order and knelt down in unison. Their speed was neat and their military appearance was so solemn that even the messenger couldn't help but admire them.
In just half a year, Ma Jinglue had trained the soldiers of Xicui to be so fierce.
The sage emperor's ability to judge people was evident!
"I, Ma Wensheng, will not disappoint the emperor!”
"Great! My emperor is wise!"
Behind him, the army roared in the direction of Bei Zhili.
Although Zhu Youtang was not in Hami, he was like a saint in person.
"Administrator Ma, the Sage Son of Heaven has a few words to say.”
Ma Wensheng was solemn.
"The Sage Son of Heaven said that before you left, the Sage Son of Heaven's words will always count.”
Ma Wensheng's eyes were red.
He knew what Zhu Youtang had promised him.
If you want soldiers, I will give you soldiers. If you want money, I will give you money. If you want people, I will give you people. I want Xicui to advance 1,500 miles to the west!
"The Sage Son of Heaven also said,'It's a bit shameful, but I don't want to wait too long.”
Ma Wensheng suddenly bent down.”
Half a year ago, Aheima occupied Hami and dismembered Hami King Shen Han.
Hami had always been the palace of the Ming Dynasty. Although the nobles of the Northern Yuan Dynasty ruled Hami, this place had always belonged to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Aheima dismembering the king of Hami was tantamount to slapping Zhu Youtang's face.
"Alright, I'll take my leave."
Ma Wensheng respectfully sent him off.
He looked at the 10,000 warhorses, a flame burning in his heart.
"Pass on the order! Prepare all the barracks with warhorses!"
"Yes!"
Countless warhorses gathered in Hami City. The scene was solemn and quiet.
On the counting platform.
Ma Wensheng looked at everyone and shouted,""1,500 miles to the west, I want Aheima's head.”
"After the enemy surrendered, they seized all their weapons.”
Don't kill the captives."
"The Great Wall west of the Jiayu Pass needs some slaves to repair and extend.”
His tone changed.
"Children!" Ma Wensheng raised his arms and shouted," The country has nurtured scholars for many years. They have served the court and brought honor to their ancestors. This is the time!"”
"Fight, fight, fight!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
A loud shout resounded through Hami City.
It was like a pack of hungry wolves that had been rushing west like a flood after opening the city gates.
The 20,000 Ming soldiers wanted to kill the 50,000 soldiers of Turpan.
However, no matter how one looked at it, it was as if 200,000 Ming soldiers were crushing 5,000 soldiers.
This lightning attack, which was extremely fast and overwhelming, began silently in April of the second year of Hongzhi, when the snow was melting.
……
Northern Zhili, Forbidden City.
Zhu Youtang looked at the question book handed over by the Ministry of War expressionlessly.
Ma Wensheng had sent troops to Turpan.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court and the Turpan people had four battles for Hami Wei.
In the end, during the Jiajing period, due to the internal corruption of the Ming court, Hami Wei was completely annexed by the Turpan Khanate.
The devastating consequence was that within the Jiayu Pass, the first generation of Suzhou was constantly burned, killed, and looted. The Ming court had no choice but to continue to shrink its defense territory inland.
Zhu Youtang had to take advantage of this moment to completely remove the thorn in Turpan!
"Don't disappoint me."
"I have great use for Turpan."
This fortress that led to Western Europe had to be firmly grasped by Zhu Youtang. Only in this way could the Ming army continue to advance westward.
If Genghis Khan can do it, why can't I?
After Zhu Youtang finished speaking in a low voice, Zhang Min, the director of ceremonies, bowed and walked over.
"Emperor, the Ministry of Personnel has selected some officials who have been running the southeast for generations.”
Zhu Youtang flipped through the book and finally took a fancy to Huang Hua.
During his appointment to the Ministry of War, he had repeatedly submitted six suggestions to the southeast, each of which was directly to the key points. He was upright and unafraid of power.
If it was placed in the southeast, it could stir up the muddy water of the southeast.
……
Just as Zhu Youtang was deliberating on the major events in the southeast.
In the west, a bloody battle began.
The image of the Ming Dynasty's Iron Blood Army would be vividly displayed in this battle!
