Chapter 893 Gaochang Uighur
There is a farm and pasture at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, which belongs to a Gaochang Uighur tribe.

The name Uighur began in the fourth year of Zhenyuan in Tang Dynasty. Wuyi Tianqin Khan asked Datang to change the name of Uighur to "Uighur", taking the meaning of "turning around as lightly and swiftly as a Uighur".

Later, some Uyghurs moved westward to Gaochang, that is, Turpan, and became Gaochang Uyghurs.

During the Chengping period of the Great Song Dynasty, the Gaochang Uighurs had close contacts with the Song Dynasty.

Later, Yelu Dashi established Xiliao and took the Gaochang Uighurs as a vassal.

After the rise of the Great Mongol Kingdom, King Gaochang surrendered to Genghis Khan. From then on, Uyghur got another translated name in Mongolian, called "Uighur".

Because Gaochang was just east of Bieshabali and belonged to Kublai Khan's sphere of influence, Kublai Khan married Guiyou's daughter, Princess Babahar, to this generation of Gaochang "Huochihar Dijin".

All in all, the Gaochang Uighurs had become part of the Great Mongol Kingdom and supported Kublai Khan in the Khan battle.

Therefore, when Brother Aribu found a Uighur tribe at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, he immediately ordered their people to be slaughtered.

Following his order, teams of Mongolian cavalry rushed forward like flowing water.

The dust and smoke raised by the [-] army looked like a giant snake. In comparison, a tribe in front of it was like a little mouse about to be swallowed by the giant snake.

~~
"Patriarch, there are too many Mongolian troops..."

"How to do?"

Desu Amu looked into the distance, and when he saw the faintly revealed nine-headed white flag, there was a look of despair in his eyes.

"It's over, it's the banner of the Great Khan..."

Today, some cavalry entered the ranch. Desu'am thought it was a rebel army from somewhere, so he led the people to fight back.

But it never occurred to him that it was the Great Khan of the Great Mongol Kingdom who came to rob him.

Whether it is Huihu people or Uighur people, it has been 50 years since they surrendered to the Mongolian Kingdom.Because of the rationality of that generation of King Gaochang, the Western Regions did not experience too much war.

The Uighurs living in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains have long been part of the Chagatai Khanate.

In the battle for Khan status, whether Aluhu supported brother Ali, or supported Kublai Khan... Desu'am never thought that his tribe would become the target of being slaughtered because of this.

Tang, Song, Jin, Xiliao, which emperor would slaughter his own people in order to fight for the throne?
But Brother Ali did just that.

"Hold the stockade! Come back and guard the stockade..."

This is a large tribe, with nearly a thousand people. Counting the women who can shoot arrows, the tribe can draw more than five hundred people.

Today, I thought it was a small group of enemies, and many tribesmen chased them out on horseback.

At this time, seeing the Mongolian army coming to kill them, it was difficult for them to escape.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The Mongolian cavalry has come, and the arrows have been shot, and the tribesmen fell to the ground one by one.

Even the shepherds who had no combat power were shot...

The Gaochang Uighurs were a fairly civilized tribe. When their king wrote a letter to Song Taizong 300 years ago, he called himself "Nephew of Xizhou", and the Liao Kingdom was also called "Gaochang's native Han land".

They are hospitable, gregarious, and warlike, and besides being nomadic, they also farm.

In the Desuam tribe, some are hunters, some are farmers, some are herdsmen, some are in charge of picking fruits, growing cotton, and some are even responsible for weaving white cloth from cotton and selling mink from animal skins.

Under the Tianshan Mountains, along the Tekes River, the countryside, pastures, water mills, buckwheat, cattle and sheep, wild geese...everything was completely destroyed on this day.Wild geese fly away, blood is splashed on water mills, horseshoes trample buckwheat, men are killed and women are dragged away.

"Oh!"

Finally, the wooden gate was closed.

Desu'amu couldn't call back those clansmen who were outside the stockade, so he could only guard the stockade ruthlessly.

But the wooden wall obviously couldn't stop the Great Khan's army.

The Mongolian cavalry began to run around the stockade, shooting arrows from time to time and making joyful noises.

They also dispatched only a quarter of their strength.

For them, it's just hunting.

……

Arrows rained down on the wooden walls, and torches were thrown in.

Desu'am became more and more desperate, knowing that he would never be able to stand up to the profuse Khan.

"Great and noble Khan, please allow me to offer my sincerest loyalty and apology to you. The ignorant herdsman Desu'am did not know that the guests were your warriors and killed them by mistake. I beg you not to show me rebellious..."

In desperation, Desuam chose to surrender without hesitation.

There is no shame in surrendering, this is the way of the world where the strong are respected.

"The ignorant herdsman Desu'am pleads guilty to you! Great Khan..."

"Oh!"

A wooden wall was pulled down by ropes, and thunderous cheers rang out.

Amidst the dust and smoke, Desu'am was shocked.

"Go!"

"Go!"

He quickly led his tribe back into the stockade.

The screams, the sound of arrows, the sound of jubilation, in the chaos, Desuam suddenly froze. He saw his wife running and pulling his daughter in front of him. An arrow pierced his wife's back. .

"Hanzadai!"

Desuam took a sudden step, fell to the ground, and desperately climbed forward, hugging his wife.

"what!"

With this roar, he stood up and drew out his saber again.

Fight hard, since Da Khan will not surrender, he can only fight to the death with these hundreds of fighting strength.

"Ana!"

Suddenly, hearing a cry, Desu'amu turned his head to look, only to find that his daughter Amuyi had fallen to the ground, turned around and found his mother's body was covered with blood, and burst into tears.

This is his only daughter, who is only 13 years old. In his heart, she needs care like the snow lotus on Tianshan Mountain.

"Go!" Desuam shouted, "Take my daughter."

"Ana! Huh... Ata..."

Desuam ignored the shouts behind him and stopped fleeing, but strode towards the Mongolian cavalry.

Then, he knelt down on the ground and hit his knee hard on the ground.

"Great and Exalted Khan, the ignorant herdsman Desu'am begs your forgiveness..."

~~
In Brother Ali's eyes, the entire Chagatai Khanate is a traitor, and he does not intend to forgive them.

More importantly, he had to provide money and food to support his army.

In order to compete with Kublai Khan for the position of Khan, he conscripted too many herdsmen, and lost Hara and Lin halfway.Five years later, he finally couldn't afford to support his soldiers and horses.

Mongolia is very rich, but the wealth is in the hands of the kings, not him alone.

You can't go grab the kings, can you?

Without their support, he would die sooner than anyone else.

Only Aluhu, who betrayed him, could plunder wantonly.

Therefore, even if it was his subjects, he could only slaughter them.

But in fact, he knew it couldn't go on like this.

It's so strange. For decades, the Great Khan of Mongolia has been doing this, driving the warriors to rob it, and they took down this great Ulus.

He Ali Buge is a fighter after Genghis Khan, far more powerful than Wokuotai, Guiyou, and Mengge, but the more he robs, the poorer he becomes, and the more he robs, the more he has nowhere to go...

Brother Ali is actually very clear that as the Yili River Basin becomes more and more dilapidated, his subordinates are rapidly separating from him, and the speed of this separation is as fast as a galloping horse.

How to do?He has tried his best, and has used all the housekeeping skills of the Mongolian Khans of the past dynasties.

What else can I do?Do you want to learn from Kublai Khan and use those weak Han people to farm the land?That's too late……

Today, I was watching the warriors occupying a tribe as if watching a hunt. Suddenly, the eldest son Mingli Timur rode up to catch up.

Under the felt hat was an extremely flustered face, and Mingli Timur's voice trembled a little.

"Father, it's not good!"

"Is it possible to lose eight miles of Hedan?" Brother Ali said, "I know."

"No... not."

"Say."

Mingli Timur swallowed his saliva, stepped forward again, and said, "Yulong Dashi... Yulong Dashi, that coward who is as despicable as a mouse has escaped..."

Ari Boke turned his head and saw the warriors pulling down the front wall with ropes.

Amidst the loud bang, he was in a daze, and he hadn't realized where Yulong had fled to.

"He went to contact Brother Bie Er and Hai Du?"

Brother Ali may have guessed the answer, but he still doesn't believe it.

But Mingli Timur still said: "He contacted the kings and wanted to defect to Kublai Khan... Now he has controlled the force and occupied Ali Mali..."

"how come?!"

Brother Ali was shocked, and he never believed it.

"How could my warrior follow Yulong and surrender to Kublai Khan, he is a traitor to Mongolia and has tarnished the blood of the Golden Family..."

"They want to go back to the Mobei Grassland."

Brother Ali was stunned there.

He couldn't believe that he suddenly lost the support of Yulong and lost his main force.

But the reason, he also knew in his heart...

"go."

Brother Ali was stunned for a long time, raised his horsewhip, pointed to the distant stockade, and said in a suddenly hoarse voice: "Go ask those Uighurs, be my excuse, and lead me the way... Ben Khan still has place to go..."

He hesitated.At this moment, I was thinking in my heart, which one is weaker, Aluhu in the south or Li Xia in the east.

The battle for Khan's position is far from over, and he can still fight hard.

"Don't lose eight miles around, Ben Khan still has [-] troops, and he can still lead them to continue the plunder."

"Father Khan, I heard from those messengers before they died that Aluhu also received Li Xia's letter..."
