Chapter 835
Although the Ming Dynasty lost its direct control over Hami, Hami was still paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty, but since Hami was occupied by the Yarkand Khanate, they stopped paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
Later, when they heard that the Ming Dynasty had begun to become stronger, they sent Hassan to the Ming Dynasty to negotiate in order not to be invaded by the Ming Dynasty. If the conditions were tempting enough, he would be willing to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
But Hassan, the two Hahas, actually fell in love with Princess Kunxing of the Ming Dynasty and was determined to challenge the iron rule of disagreement. He was beaten and driven out of the capital by Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian had no intention of letting the Yarkand Khanate become a vassal state in his heart. In his heart, the entire Western Regions were the territory of China.
Hassan, the two Hakkas, also wanted to rely on the Yarkand Khanate's long journey from the Ming Dynasty, not only challenged the Ming Dynasty's bottom line, but also killed the Ming envoy. How could Zhu Youjian miss the good opportunity to destroy the Yarkand Khanate?
The Governor of Kashgar, the Yarkand Khanate, is now the Grand Marshal of the Army of Hassan, who placed 100,000 heavy troops in Turpan. Once the seven guards were lost, they were ready to fight the Ming army here.
He originally thought that the Seven Guards of Guanxi could stop the Ming army for a month, but the unfavorable information of the defeat came one after another within two days, and the Ming army was as powerful as a result of the Seven Guards within three days.
The 50,000 troops stationed in the seven guards, except for the Hami garrison fled without fighting, the other Yarkand Khanate troops were wiped out. This news made Hassan suddenly feel like thunder. Now he finally began to feel the powerful strength of the Ming army.
After all, Hassan was still a little capable. After panic, he did not get lost, but gradually calmed down and hurriedly summoned his subordinates to discuss how to resist the invasion of the Ming army.
"My generals, the Ming army has successively captured the seven guards within three days and is about to approach the city of Turpan. Do you have any good strategies to defend the enemy? Just tell me what ideas do you have..."
Hassan's words made the Yarkand Khanate generals present stunned. They couldn't imagine how the Ming army conquered seven earthen cities in such a short period of time. Could it be that those who defended the city were all decorated?
"Governor, this is impossible! A guard can hold on for seven or eight days a day. How could the Ming army approach Turpan in three days?"
Hassan shook his head helplessly:
"The generals don't know that the defensive forces of the guards immediately fled when they saw the Ming army. They ran without a trace and have not returned yet. It's really useless. When they come back, they will definitely punish them severely and will not tolerate them."
As a commander, Hassan certainly knew to stabilize the morale of the army. He did not mention that the Ming army's seven armies broke through five earthen cities overnight, but told them that all the defenders abandoned the city and fled, and they have not come back now.
In fact, except for Hami's garrison, almost all other soldiers were wiped out. He actually said he was scattered and disappeared. The other generals thought that the soldiers did not dare to come back!
His general Mouta stood up:
"Governor General, the general does not believe that the Ming army is so powerful. They came from a long distance. We are waiting for it. The general is willing to lead 20,000 troops to ambush the Ming army on the way to Turpan. Although they are not sure that the Ming army will be wiped out, they will definitely be in danger and unable to continue to advance westward..."
Hassan was overjoyed:
"Okay, I am worthy of being my confidant general. I believe in your ability and give you 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry, and hope that the general will return victoriously."
When he heard the Governor praise Maota, several generals of the Yarkand Khanate immediately asked for battle, and they all demanded to lead the interception and kill the tired army of the Ming army, and even had even more rampant existences.
Jili Yaowa, son of the Prime Minister of the Yarkand Khanate, slapped his chest:
"Mr. Governor, only 5,000 cavalry ambushed will allow the Ming army to escape..."
...
After some discussion, Hassan decided to send two armies to ambush the Ming army on the way the Ming army arrived, and he believed that he would definitely succeed.
Thirty thousand of them were led by Mouta, and five thousand cavalrymen were led by Giliyaowa.
Because Giliyaowa has fewer troops, Hassan also gave a special explanation:
"General must be careful. You are all cavalry-captained. If you lose, you will retreat immediately. Never practice love fighting..."
Yaowa's mouth was sagging:
"How can the Ming cavalry compare with my nomadic cavalry? You can rest assured that the five thousand cavalry are like entering a deserted land among them."
Hassan knew that Mingjun was not easy to mess with, so he wanted to remind Yaowa again, but thinking that his father had never respected him, he nodded and gave Yaowa a thumbs up.
...
When Hassan and his friends arranged to ambush the Ming army, Hami's Ming army also began to set out from Hami.
Li Yan and Zhu Cixuan were also divided into two groups, one by one, cut off the retreat of the Turpan defenders of the Yarkand Khanate, and attacked Turpan head-on.
