Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 835

Although Daming lost direct control over Hami, Hami has been paying tribute to Daming, but since Hami was occupied by the Yarkant Khanate, they stopped paying tribute to Daming.

Later, when they heard that Ming was getting stronger, in order not to be invaded by Ming, they sent Hassan to the capital of Ming to negotiate. If the conditions were attractive enough, he would be willing to be a vassal of Ming.

But Hassan, the Erha, actually fell in love with Daming Princess Kunxing, and wanted to challenge Daming's iron law of discord, so he was violently beaten by Zhu Youjian and kicked out of the capital.

In Zhu Youjian's heart, he had no intention of making the Yeerqiang Khanate a vassal state. In his heart, the entire Western Regions were the territory of China.

Hassan, the Erha, also wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Yarkand Khanate was far away from Daming, not only challenged Ming’s bottom line, but also killed the Ming envoy, how could Zhu Youjian let go of the good opportunity to destroy the Yarkand Khanate.

The Governor of Kashgar, who is also the current Generalissimo of the Yarkant Khanate, Hassan, put [-] heavy troops in Turpan. Once the Seven Guards fall, they are ready to fight the Ming army here.

He originally thought that the Seven Guards of Kansai could hold back the Ming Army for a month, but news of the defeat came one after another within two days, and the Ming Army was so powerful that they took down the Seven Guards within three days.

The [-] troops stationed in the seven guards, except for the Hami garrison who fled without a fight, the rest of the Yarkand Khanate army was wiped out. This news made Hassan suddenly thunderous, and now he finally began to feel the strength of the Ming army.

After all, Hassan still has some abilities. After panicking, he didn't lose his mind, but gradually calmed down, and hurriedly called his subordinates to discuss how to resist the Ming army's invasion.

"Generals, the Ming army defeated the Seven Guards in three days and is about to approach the city of Turpan. Do you have any good strategies to defend against the enemy? If you have any ideas, just speak up..."

Hassan's words stunned the generals of the Yarkand Khanate present. They couldn't even imagine how the Ming army broke through seven earthen cities in such a short period of time. Could it be that those who defended the city were just pretending?
"Your Excellency, this is impossible! A guard can hold out for seven or eight days a day. How could the Ming army approach Turpan in three days?"

Hassan shook his head helplessly:
"You generals don't know something. Those guards immediately scattered and fled when they saw the Ming army. They ran away without a trace and haven't come back yet. It's really useless. When they come back, they will be severely punished and will not be tolerated."

As a commander, Hassan certainly knows how to stabilize the morale of the army. He didn't mention that the Seventh Army of the Ming Army broke through five earthen cities overnight, but told them that all the defenders abandoned the city and fled, and they have not returned yet.

In fact, except Hami's garrison, almost all other soldiers were wiped out. He actually said that they fled in all directions, and the other generals thought that those soldiers dared not come back!

His general Mao Ta stepped forward:

"Your Excellency, the general does not believe that the Ming army is so powerful. They came from a long distance, and we are waiting for work. The general is willing to lead an army of [-] to ambush the Ming army on the way to Turpan. Although it is not sure that the entire Ming army will be wiped out. , will definitely make them suffer heavy casualties and be unable to continue westward..."

Hassan was overjoyed:

"Okay, you are indeed the governor's confidant and favorite general. The governor believes in your ability and will give you [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. I hope the general will return victorious."

Hearing the governor's praise of Maota, several generals of the Yarkand Khanate immediately called for battle, asking to lead and kill the exhausted division of the Ming army, and there were even more rampant ones.

Jili Yaowa, the son of the prime minister of the Yarkand Khanate, slapped his chest:
"My lord governor, as long as five thousand cavalry ambushed by the last general, the Ming army will surely flee..."

……

After some discussion, Hassan decided to send two armies to ambush the Ming army on its way. He believed that it would be successful.

Maota led the [-] troops along the way, and Jili Yaowa led the other [-] cavalrymen.

Because Gili Yaowa has fewer troops, Hassan also made a point of explaining:
"General, you must be careful. You all have a small number of cavalry. Once you lose the enemy, you will withdraw immediately. Don't practice fighting..."

Yaowa pursed his mouth:
"How can the cavalry of the Ming army compare with our nomadic cavalry? You can rest assured that five thousand cavalry are like no one among them."

Knowing that the Ming army is not easy to mess with, Hassan wanted to remind Yaowa again, but he thought that his father did not respect him very much, so he nodded and gave Yaowa a thumbs up.

……

When Hassan and the others arranged to ambush the Ming army, Hami's Ming army also started to set off from Hami.

Li Yan and Zhu Cihong also divided their troops into two groups, cutting off the retreat of the Turpan defenders of the Yarkand Khanate all the way around, and attacking Turpan head-on all the way.

Turpan is an important town on the ancient Silk Road. As early as the Neolithic Age, six to seven thousand years ago, there were human activities.

At that time, people in Turpan were mainly hunting and gathering.After entering the slave society, the mode of production gradually changed to agriculture, and gradually settled down in the Turpan Basin.

According to the records of "Historical Records", the aborigines living in the Turpan Basin are Gushi people.They established Gushi (later called Cheshi) on the Turpan Basin

During the Western Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu in northern China controlled most of the Western Regions and continued to invade the Han Dynasty.

In the third year of Jianyuan, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions to unite with the countries in the Western Regions to break the "right arm" of the Huns.

The land of "Gushi" is an important channel to open up the Western Regions, and its strategic position is extremely important.As a result, the Western Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu launched a long-term repeated competition for the "gushi".

In the third year of Yuanfeng Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty sent generals Zhao Ponu and Wang Hui to ride tens of thousands of grams of Loulan and Po Gushi.

Gu Shi was renamed Che Shi, and he belonged to the Western Han Dynasty.Cheshi formed the Cheshi Kingdom from the north to the south of Bogda Mountain.Soon, the Huns took control of Cheshi again.

In the third year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Jie and Wang Chengyu, the generals surrendered by the Huns, were appointed Marquis of Kailing.

In the fourth year of Han Zhenghe, the Han Dynasty sent Kailinghou to lead Loulan and other six kingdoms to encircle the chariot division, and the chariot king surrendered to the Han Dynasty.

In the first year of Yuanping, Emperor Zhaodi of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu reoccupied Cheshi and sent [-] cavalry to garrison here.

In the first three years of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and Wusun allied forces attacked the Xiongnu from east to west, and the Xiongnu soldiers who Cheshi Tuntian fled in fear.Che Shi is also a Han.Later, King Cheshi married the Xiongnu, and the Han lost Cheshi again.

In the second year of Shenjue of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu was in civil strife, and the Xiongnu led the people to surrender to the Han. The land of Cheshi then belonged to the Han Dynasty.

These five major car masters' battles are known as the "Five Fighting Chess Masters" in history.In the same year when the Western Han Dynasty unified the Western Regions, a Duhu Mansion was established in the Western Regions, with Zheng Ji as the first Duhu.Since then, the Western Regions have been included in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Later, after several dynasties changed, Turpan also separated and reunited with China.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Turpan was divided into three parts: Liucheng, Huozhou, and Turpan, all of which were located in Daluhuachi, the prefecture of ten thousand households, and the place name of Turpan appeared for the first time.

In the seventh year from Yuan to Zhengzheng, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate captured Turpan, Huozhou, and Liucheng.Turpan, Huozhou, and Liucheng belonged to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
