Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 704

Since Jiayuguan is adjacent to Turpan and Yarkand, the frontier troops in Suzhou have never dared to slacken their training, and the food and pay for their hair are sufficient. Naturally, Lu Yi, the general soldier of Gansu, refused to let the soldiers idle.

Today's Nine Sides soldiers have not only been replaced with front-loading rifles, grenades, and steel cannons, but even their armor has been replaced with more flexible and defensive steel armor.

Along the way, the general of Suzhou, Luo Shizhong, was always worried. After all, their actions had not been officially issued by the imperial court and the troop dispatching order, but only because a letter with the private seals of Liu Hongjian and Zhu Cihong was stamped on a piece of paper.

Hastily attacking and plundering neighboring countries has never happened in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with Confucianism, and Confucianism pays attention to the teacher's reputation, otherwise he will be criticized by the world if he does not agree with the etiquette.

It wasn't until one day later that Luo Shizhong got the military order from Lu Yi, the commander-in-chief of Gansu Town, that Luo Shizhong let go of his worries. Lu Yi's order was very simple, and he fully cooperated with Gu Jia and Xie Xinghua. If something happened, he was responsible for Lu Yi.

Lu Yi was not afraid of wolves and tigers like Luo Shizhong. He was born in the Chuang army, and he was originally a poor peasant. After the Chuang army was destroyed, he was able to become the general soldier because of Liu Hongjian's eclecticism and trustworthiness.

He knew the relationship between Gu Jia and Liu Hongjian, and he also knew Gu Jia's status in the martial arts hall. His second son was still training in the martial arts hall, and he heard that he had already entered the imperial palace's Huben camp.

Then what else is there to say, you must follow His Royal Highness the county king to the letter!

Luo Shizhong's [-] Suzhou defenders were full of fighting spirit, and they arrived at the city of Hami in only two days. Dili Lengba, the defender of Hami, stared straight.

Although Turpan fought endlessly over the city of Hami a hundred years ago, it has never interfered with Daming for decades. Now that Ming is fighting without declaring, Dili Lengba has no time to deploy defenses.

"...%&&@#@!@#" Dili Lengba shouted at the Ming army lying on the crenel and rushing down the wall.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand! Song Qianhu, pull out your cannon and blast the city gate open for me!" Xie Xinghua didn't understand the bird language spoken by the guard of Hami.

Even if he understood, he didn't intend to talk to him, now that the arrow is on the string, he has no choice but to let him go, let him do it first and then talk.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom

The long-lost Ming artillery fire started to roar again. Half an hour ago, Hami opened the city gate to welcome merchants from all over the world. The guard Dili Lengba had no time to seal the city gate. Thirty cannons attacked in one round. no longer exists.

Luo Shizhong gave an order, and the five thousand cavalry of Ming Dynasty rushed into Hami City like a swarm.

Because of Gu Jia's entrustment in advance, the Ming soldiers shouted the slogan that those who surrender will not be killed after entering the city, but the Hami defenders couldn't understand it at all, and encountered unprecedented resistance when the Ming army climbed the city wall.

This angered the Ming soldiers.

"Ma Li, tell the brothers, use the grenade and blow him up!" Han Li, the thousand household officer in charge of attacking the west wall, roared.

Although few Turfan soldiers even fired their guns, they still caused casualties to the Ming army when they shot arrows from the top of the city to the bottom of the city, which the generals of the Ming army could not tolerate.

Fortunately, except for the Hami garrison, the people in the city and the merchants from all over the place did not dare to make trouble. More Ming soldiers poured into the city. In just over two hours, the resistance of the Hami garrison collapsed.

"Old Wu, have you got in touch with Master Gu?" Xie Xinghua asked anxiously as soon as he entered the city.

It's not chaotic in the city, but after all, it's a war between countries, Xie Xinghua is most worried about Gu Jia.

"Well, Mr. Gu was placed in that brothel by Ji Jincai, and his life is probably easier than ours!" Wu Peng joked.

"Shut up your stinking mouth, Mr. Gu is a scholar, how could it be so?" Xie Xinghua glared at Wu Peng, and then his heart started to itch again.

"Master Xie, the enemy general Dili Lengba has been captured, and all the defenders of Hami City have surrendered! The number is being counted, and I estimate there are at least 7000 to [-] people." Luo Shizhong said excitedly.

The connection between Daming and Hami City, Luo Shizhong naturally knew that Hamiwei was the territory of Daming more than 200 years ago, and now that Luo Shizhong has retaken it, his contribution must be indispensable.

"Well, not bad, General Luo contributed a lot to the capture of the city of Hami. I will write a letter to Commander after I accept it, and trouble Lord Luo to collect the surplus food in the city as soon as possible for our Ming soldiers to eat." Xie Xinghua laughed. road.

"May I ask Mr. Xie, how to deal with those prisoners?" Luo Shizhong clasped his hands again.

Although Luo Shizhong was several ranks higher than Xie Xinghua in terms of rank, Luo Shizhong did not dare to be presumptuous at all.

"Take strict care, don't give them enough food, and deal with it after I discuss with Mr. Gu." Seeing Gu Jia coming from the city worriedly, Xie Xinghua greeted him after speaking.

In order not to be noticed, the two entered a private house directly. While drinking, Xie Xinghua told Gu Jia that when enough camels were recruited, the army would cross the desert to attack Turpan City, the capital of the Turpan Tribe. .

"Xie, isn't it a little too much for us to do this?" Gu Jia frowned, because she was deceived by the Turufan people and went to destroy the country, which was a bit too domineering for Gu Jia.

"Master Gu, don't be short-sighted. Hamiwei is the territory of our Ming Dynasty. You see, those Hami defenders are too face-to-face. Even if Daming doesn't take action, they will become serfs of the Raksha Kingdom sooner or later."

What's more, the commander said that not only Hami is the inherent territory of Ming Dynasty, but also Turpan. Xie Xinghua didn't say this, because he didn't understand it very well.

"Now that we have regained Hami, the leader of Turpan must have regarded Daming as an enemy. If we do not get rid of the roots, Hami will still be in endless wars. At that time, Commander-in-Chief will be impeached by the courtiers again..."

Seeing that Gu Jia was silent, Xie Xinghua knew that the uncle was struggling, so he had to explain again.

"Well, now that the matter has come to this point, it's up to you to take care of it. It's just that after Turpan, you must not be so hasty again. Also, I have to go to Europa later, so you don't want to show your face in public, so as not to be caught by someone who cares." Find out." Gu Jia sighed.

Naturally, Xie Xinghua didn't dare to take Gu Jia's words as a deaf ear, and while he asked Luo Shizhong to rectify the army, he hurried to Turpan City with his men, and informed the Turpan leader to hand over An Liman quickly, and surrendered to Daming in Kaesong.

Although it was an afterthought to tell the Turpan leader Daming the reason for attacking them, what had to be done had to be done. As for letting the Turfan leader Kaesong surrender, Xie Xinghua was simply boasting.

Turpan City is the largest city of the Turpan Tribe. There are more than 10,000 people in the city, and more than 2 soldiers. Most of them are elites who participated in the war against the Yarkand Tribe.

On the other hand, Daming had only [-] soldiers, and they had to travel long distances across the desert. War horses were not capable of marching in the desert, and Hami City didn't have so many camels to drive.

What surprised everyone was that on the sixth day Luo Shizhong was still collecting camels, the leader of Turfan sent a letter.

The content of the letter is written in big Ming characters, and there is only one sentence crooked:
Turpan is willing to surrender.
