Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 880
"Grandma, grandpas are shivering in the cold here, but those bastard grandchildren of the Ming army are lying in bed for you to enjoy. If the general doesn't send orders to attack, we will all freeze to death..."

Seeing that the general did not order the attack for a long time, the Kazakh soldiers shivering in the cold wind began to worry. They had been here for several days, worried that they would be discovered by the Ming army and did not dare to start a fire. They could not eat well or sleep well. Hu Luosang couldn't help complaining.

The Sahak commander Shader, who led the army to attack this time, stared at the eyes at that time:

"Shut up, general, isn't this general suffering from the same cold as you? Do you want anything after the Ili River Valley is captured? We just need to wait for the Ming army to fall asleep. Only in this way can we kill more Ming troops... ..."

"Yes, the general was wrong. When the time comes to take down the Ili River Valley, the general will ask the brothers to find a few Yarkand girls to vent their anger..."

Shader nodded:

"As long as you are brave, after taking down the Ili River Valley, General Ben will ask you to find ten Yarkand girls."

"Well, the general will wait to see how the last general kills the enemy. If you don't kill the [-]th Ming army, you are not a hero..."

Shader didn't pay attention to Losange, and he didn't want to damage the morale of his subordinates, but he knew very well that the Ming army would definitely be difficult to deal with, otherwise how could he easily wipe out the Yarkand Khanate.

Looking up at the night sky, Shader ordered:

"Ben ordered the general to divide the troops into two groups and set off immediately. After entering the Ming army camp, the two groups of people and horses rushed to the Ming army's middle army together, trying to kill the Ming army leader as quickly as possible, and control the situation before the Ming army reinforcements came. Ili River Valley."

"Yes"

When they heard that they were about to go on an expedition, the Kazakh cavalry burst into laughter. They had been waiting for this day for a long time, and immediately rushed out of the woods to march into the camp of the Ming army.

The distance of twenty kilometers is not far for the cavalry, and within one stick of incense, they are five miles away from the Ming army barracks, and they can already clearly see the lights reflected by the Ming army tents.

The Ili River Valley is not a canyon, it is a beautiful prairie, and the often-heard Lalati Grassland is in the Ili River Valley.

The beautiful and vast prairie, the herds of cattle and sheep, the Nalati Grassland is one of the most famous pastures in the Ili Valley.

Nalati Grassland is also known as Xigongnaisi Grassland, which means "Green Valley" in Oala Mongolian and "Baiyang Slope" in Kazakh.

During the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it was a pastoral area of ​​Walahuite, located in the east of Nalati Town, Xinyuan County, Yili Prefecture, Xinjiang, on the northern slope of Nalati Mountain, a middle-mountain grassland developed on the Paleodiluvial layer of the Tertiary Period.

Nalati grassland is one of the four major grasslands in the world, a sub-alpine meadow plant area, and it has been a famous pasture since ancient times.

The Han people are one of the ethnic groups that entered Xinjiang earlier.The Western Han Dynasty's conquest of the Western Regions began with the crusade against the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu were a powerful nomadic people who were active in the grasslands of northern China during the Qin and Han Dynasties. They were weak at first and then became strong.

In the second year of Yuanshou (121 BC), the Han army defeated the Xiongnu army stationed in the Hexi Corridor, and the Han Dynasty established Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang successively.

And Wusun, who occupied the Yili River Basin, became a strategic ally that both the Han and Hungarian empires wanted to strive for cooperation.

The Wusun people who established the Xingguo in the Yili River Basin, because of the superior geographical conditions and strong military presence.

It has won the honor of marrying a princess twice in the Han Dynasty, which shows the excellent strategic position of the Yili River Basin.

In the mid-Tang Dynasty, the Tuqishi tribe, one of the five tribes of the West Turkic Tulu, sprang up in the Yili River Basin and became the most active tribe after the Western Turkic tribes dispersed.

It even unified the various ministries of the Western Turks for a while, and established the Tuqishi Khanate that could compete with the Arab Empire and the Tang Empire.

At that time, the Ili River Basin, where the Tuqishi Tribe rose, the abundant resources in this area were undoubtedly an important basis for the Tuqishi tribe’s early strength accumulation.
During the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the Yili area has always been regarded as the capital of Xinjiang.

In the 20th year of Qianlong (1755), Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty pacified the Junggar tribe and unified the Western Regions. The Qing court set up the "Ili General's Mansion" here to manage the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, Balkhash Lake and the Pamirs.

Afterwards, this precious land became a place that the imperialists with wolfish ambitions wanted to occupy.

In the middle of the 19th century, under the blows of the two Opium Wars and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Qing Dynasty gradually declined, and its control over Xinjiang declined. At that time, there were two forces that wanted to take advantage of the chaos to occupy the Yili River Valley.

The first is Tsarist Russia, which began to step into the country with the two treaties signed during the Second Opium War.

The second is Aguba, a general of the Kokand Khanate, who invaded Xinjiang with the support of Britain and other countries, and ruled the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains with Kashgar as the center.

In the tenth year of Tongzhi (1870), Tsarist Russia took advantage of Agubai's invasion of Xinjiang and occupied Ili, Xinjiang at the same time, and the entire Ili River Basin was about to fall.

With the unremitting efforts of Zuo Zongtang, Zeng Jize and others, China barely kept half of the Ili River Valley through the "Ili Treaty", so that the western gateway of China would not be completely open to the guns of Tsarist Russia.

Today, China and Kazakhstan each occupy the Ili River Basin, and China controls the upper reaches of the Ili River Valley, covering an area of ​​5.64 square kilometers

In the other part of the Ili River Basin occupied by Tsarist Russia, the Russians established Almaty, the largest city in Kazakhstan.

Such a good place has long been missed by the Kazakh Khanate. They are also ambitious and attempt to fully occupy the Ili River Valley.

At a place two kilometers away from the Ming army camp, Shadar ordered his soldiers to attack the Ming army camp in three ways.

"Come here, pass on the general's order to attack the Ming army barracks in three groups. When they are close to the Ming army barracks, throw the torch into the Ming army barracks. I want to set fire to the company barracks."

"Yes"

At Shadar's order, the [-] cavalry divided into three groups to raid the Ming army camp.

The barracks of the Ming army was stationed on a large piece of high ground, behind which a small river flows, which is also the source of water for the Ming army.

There were [-] Ming soldiers on duty in front of the barracks. Seeing a sudden fire not far away, the hundred households on duty immediately grabbed their binoculars to look.

When he saw the galloping Kazakh cavalry, he immediately ordered his subordinates:

"Not good, there are a large number of cavalry attacking, quickly fire warning shots..."

"Bang bang bang..."

Several Ming army flag generals immediately fired warning shots into the sky, and then made preparations for battle.

"Da da da……"

The Ming army on duty was just getting ready, and immediately saw a large number of cavalry appearing 500 meters away from them.

Although the cavalry of the Kazakh Khanate came fiercely, the Ming army was not chaotic at all, and the black muzzle was aimed at the cavalry of the Kazakh Khanate.

Suddenly, a thousand households in the Kazakh Khanate laughed loudly:
"General, the Ming army is dreaming! You see, there are only 200 people on duty in front of their battalion."

While talking, they had entered the range of the Ming army's rifled guns.

"shot"

"Bang bang..."

Suddenly there was a gunshot, and the Ming army pulled the trigger on the Kazakh cavalry rushing over.
