Ambitionists

They were originally nobles, and all their honors were fought on the battlefield.

They are happy because their children can go to war with the prince, and it is very likely that when they grow old, their children will follow the prince to become the future of the Ming Dynasty.

What they were worried about was that the children were still young, and this time they fought alone without the main force of the Ming Dynasty. The difficulty can be imagined.

But Zhu Cilang, Huang Xiaohu, Huang Dahu, Meng Liang and Zhang Fugui were indeed happy.

They didn't think about how cruel the war was, but were excited because of the war.

After studying at the Royal Military Academy for more than two years, they all yearned for great success.

Although they participated in the war to attack Japan, they only had limited participation, but this time they were the main force to launch in the Western Regions.

As the commander of the 50,000 army, Zhu Ciyang also brought two thousand summoning troops to attack Japan?

The combat effectiveness of these two thousand people is even stronger. For the safety of the prince Zhu Cilang, Zhu Youjian played as the prince's guard this time.

When the army set off, Li Yan, the governor of Shaanxi, had already prepared all military supplies with the help of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue.

Especially when buying camels, Li Yan sent a number of troops to buy camels, and even bought most of the camels in the Yerkand Khanate.

Because when the camel was acquired, the Ming Dynasty had not sent troops to the Yarkand Khanate, and it was also bribed by merchants in the Yarkand territory, so it did not attract the attention of the Yarkand military.

In fact, Abdullah, the great khan of the Yarkand Khanate, did not know about Hassan's killing of the Ming envoy.

He only learned about this recently. After receiving the information, Abdullah was both angry and angry, and a little scared.

In addition, they also occupied Hami, the territory of the Ming Dynasty. He was worried that the Ming Dynasty would take the opportunity to recover Hami.

Now the Ming Dynasty is in the limelight, and it has plagued the bandits and destroyed the East and the Japanese, and has defeated the Western devils in panic.

The Ming Navy was almost invincible, and he could not have known these things.

What he was angry was that his son actually killed the Ming envoy on his back, and he was a little afraid that the Ming Dynasty would attack Yerkang.

Although he believed that the Ming Dynasty was strong in the navy and could not play its advantages in the desert and Gobi, after all, the Ming Dynasty was so large that if the whole country was working hard with them, the result would be unpredictable.

Hami Guard was a regime institution set up during the Yongnian period to manage Xinjiang and other places. It has been the throat of the Silk Road since ancient times, and is known as "the throat of the Western Regions, the guardian of China" and "the gateway of Xinjiang".

During the Chenghua period, Tulupan took the opportunity to capture Hami, and during the Hongzhi period, the Ming army recovered it. Since then, the Ming Dynasty and Turpan have been struggling back and forth, and Hami has changed hands many times.

In the end, Zhengde Dynasty, although the Ming Dynasty sent troops to restore Hami, it was unsuccessful.

In the early years of Jiajing, Tulupan repeatedly launched troops to attack Suzhou and other places.

Due to the dispute over the great rituals, the Ming court recaptured the Hami incident and started a prison for "boundary bans". After dealing with more than 40 people including Gansu Governor Chen Jiuchou, the Ming Dynasty eventually lost direct control of Hami.

Hami's troupe belonged to Tulupan, but still paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year.

At that time, the number of residents in Hami was estimated to be at least three or four thousand.

It is divided into three types, namely Uygur, Huihui, and Halahui. Halahui is a different species of Ola and lives by nomadic life; Uygur and Huihui mainly engage in agriculture.

After Tulupan controlled Hami, most of Huihui remained in the local area, while Uygur and Halahui moved to Hexi and lived near Suzhou (now Jiuquan, Gansu).

After that, the Ming Dynasty's national power became weaker and the ministers were held accountable because of the resurgence of Hami's accident. Many ministers were involved in it and many were killed.

In the end, he had to stop the troops and stop the people and put them in a special way to seek autonomy as a pretext.

In the 24th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1545), Mansuer died. His eldest son Sha Susi "Sutan" lived in Turpan; his younger brother Ma Heima was also known as "Sutan" lived in Hami.

In the fourth year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty (1570), Ma Heima returned to Turpan's successor position.

Since then, Turpan Khan has also declined and its territory has been occupied by the Yarkand Khanate.

"This bastard Hassan, Ben Khan just asked them to drive the Ming envoy out of the country. He actually dared to rob and kill the Ming envoy. Didn't he poke a hornet's nest? Hurry up and see Ben Khan!"

The Khan's personal guards acted immediately and quickly captured Hassan in front of Abdullah.

Seeing his son, Abdullah Khan passed the order:

"Come, get out and cut Hassan!"

Abdullah's words immediately stunned the ministers, because Hassan intercepted and killed the Ming envoys in secret, and the ministers had no idea.

Seeing that Khan wanted to kill Hassan for no reason, the ministers stepped forward to plead with mercy:

"The great khan is not allowed. I don't know what the Governor of Kashgar is guilty of causing the great khan to get angry..."

The ministers didn't know what was going on, but Hassan himself guessed that the news must have been leaked when he intercepted the envoy of the Ming Dynasty.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty tortured him so much, but his father Khan swallowed his anger and drove the envoys out of Yerkang, but Hassan was dissatisfied.

Seeing the ministers pleading, Hassan suddenly felt confident. He lay on the ground and kowtowed to his father and said:

"Father Khan calmed down. According to reliable information, the Ming Dynasty looked down on me at all. Before we expelled the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack Hami, hoping to recover the Hami Guards. That's why I killed the envoys of the Ming Dynasty..."

Hassan's words surprised the ministers and the Khanate of the Yarkand.

"What, it's outrageous. The Ming Dynasty bullies people too much..."

In fact, this is all nonsense by Hassan, because Hami is now under his control, which is too far away from the Yarkand Khanate, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient. If he doesn't report it, Abdullah will not know at all.

Before Abdullah could speak, his prime minister stepped forward and said:

"Khan, the Ming Dynasty bullies too much. Not only did he humiliate the Governor of Kashgar, but he also sent troops to occupy our Hami. We must not sit still and wait for death.

It is said that the Ming Navy is invincible in the world, but the domestic environment of the Yarkand Khanate is harsh and does not rely on the sea, and most areas are deserts and Gobi.

When they come, they will only be buried in the desert. Even if they walk out of the desert, they will be defeated. At that time, the Yarkand Khanate army will definitely wipe out it all..."

After the prime minister finished speaking, the other ministers catered to him. Two civil officials were about to persuade the Khan to think twice, but when they saw that Abdullah's expression was wrong, they dared not speak again.

"Yes! Don't worry, Khan, our Yarkand Khanate is not a small country that can be slaughtered. Why don't we take this opportunity to take over the entire territory of Su..."

The morale of the entire court was high, as if the Ming army arrived and died.

In fact, the Khan of the Yarkand Khanate was also an ambitious man, and he had long been interested in the wealthy land of the Ming Dynasty.

There is no good place in their territory except the Yili River Valley. The large grassland in Gansu and Mongolia made him think a lot of things.

Thinking of his harsh conditions in his country and the Yarkand cavalry who were good at fighting, Abdullah was moved and decided to give it a try.

If you lose this battle, you will be able to recover from the rear of the Yarkand Khanate. The Ming army will not be able to reach here at all.

So Abdullah said:

"Okay, since you all think so, then Ben Da Khan decided to go to war with the Ming Dynasty.

Hassan, you are the commander of the Yarkand Khanate, and lead the whole country to fight against the Ming army. Once you win, you will advance to Suzhou and Mongolia."
