Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 922 Unifying Central Asia

Compared with Zhang Fugui and Huang Dahu who destroyed the Chechen Khanate and the Shuo Khanate, the Bukhara Khanate that Li Yan had to deal with was stronger. They were originally one of the anti-Ming alliances. Buhan led his troops back to quell the chaos.

Now that he has come to Central Asia, Zhu Cihong simply wiped out the khanate here, and in the future there will be riots in the province and the border will send troops to quell the chaos.

The Bukhara Khanate is now Uzbekistan, and they are neighboring countries with the Kazakh Khanate. Li Yan led the cavalry to sweep all the way for two days and surrounded the capital of the Bukhara Khanate.

The governor of the Bukhara Khanate was also called Bukhara. At that time, it was not as powerful as the Kazakh Khanate. It was a khanate. It was more prepared to say that it should be E Khan who combined Iranians and Turks as a military and religious unit. country.

In the heyday of the Bukhara Khanate, there was a powerful army with cavalry as the main force, forming the mainstay. The cavalry was divided into heavy cavalry with armor on horses and horses, and light cavalry who abandoned the cumbersome armor.

Both Uzbeks and Tajiks are fierce and skilled knights, and they are skilled in bow and horse.

Armaments in Central Asia and West Asia are best forged by Persian craftsmen, and the official workshops of the Bukhara Dynasty hired Persian skilled craftsmen to make swords and armor.

Bukhara warriors are often equipped with body armor such as turban helmets, chain plate armor, chain armor, and four-mirror armor.

Weapons include compound bows, axes, spears, shields, Damascus knives, maces, etc.The overall armament is similar to that of the Safavid Empire and the Ottoman Empire.

Although the Bukhara Khanate was also very strong at this time, it was a pity that they encountered a well-equipped and well-trained Ming army that had fully used thermal weapons.

Whether it is cavalry or swords and halberds, it can only end in defeat in front of Daming Firearms.

The most desperate thing is that the khanates with nomads as the main body are good at charging and attacking on horseback. It is really bad for them to defend the city.

Li Yan's army easily broke through the city wall of Bukhara with artillery, and the Ming army quickly entered the city to form an array.

Countless small phalanxes advanced rapidly in the city, causing this powerful horse nation to suffer a lot.

It took half a day to break through the palace and capture the entire city, but their royal family has a lot of backbone, and they did not surrender on a large scale from the beginning to the end, which led to the merciless extermination of the Ming army.

The three-way army destroyed several khanates, and other small countries and tribes in Central Asia were scared to death. No one resisted and surrendered to express their eternal loyalty to Ming Dynasty.

Five days later, the three armies successfully returned to Turkestan, and at this time Central Asia was already under Ming's control.

Zhu Cihong sent an order for the whole army to hold a banquet to celebrate, and to record meritorious service for the soldiers, and to reward the troops when they returned to court.

And our powerful neighboring Mughal Dynasty was not much better at this time, and the fleet led by Zheng Chenggong easily landed in Mumbai.

Although Ah San has always been very strong in his mouth, it can be said that he has never lost to any country or individual.

But for thousands of years, regardless of whether they were from the East or the West, almost all the nationalities and people with a little reputation in history have abused Ah San.

Such as Aryans, Persians, Macedonians, Arabs, Turks, Mongols, Greeks.

There are also many people who are not well-known at all, and they are also showing off their might and running amok in India, such as the Dayuezhi people and the White Huns.

There was even an envoy from the Tang Dynasty named Wang Xuance, who beat the whole of India to its knees just by relying on a few thousand troops.

Lao Ma once said that the history of India has no history, at least no known history, and the history of India is just the history of the invaders.

Lao Ma is a university student, has a good manner, and speaks more politely.In fact, if you ask me, the history of India is a history of masochism.

In the history of India, there was almost no time when all of them were unified. Most of the time, ancient India was not a country, but several countries or even a group of countries.

The composition of India's population is very complex. There are more than 100 ethnic groups. The main ethnic group is far less prominent than other countries. The most populous Hindustan ethnic group only accounts for [-]% of the total population.

The earliest Indian aborigines are called the Dravicha people, and the civilization established by the Dravicha people is called the Harappan civilization.

After the decline of the Harappan civilization, the first wave of invaders came.

The Aryans from the west crossed the Khyber Pass, quickly defeated the Dravidians, and conquered the entire northern part of India.

The Aryans established a group of countries, and they didn't like each other, and they fought every now and then. This is a bit like our Warring States Period.

However, during the Warring States period in India, it did not lead to a unified centralized empire like China, but attracted a powerful enemy.

The second wave of invaders came, and they were Persians.

In the east, the Persians defeated the Aryans and conquered India.But in the west, the Persians met the more powerful Greeks.

It was especially unfortunate that the leader of the Greeks they encountered was the mighty Alexander the Great.

Alexander had no pressure to fight Persia, stepping on the corpses of the Persians all the way to India.

Alexander and his men were more emotional than conquerors, and they missed their relatives every festive season.

So I didn't stay in India for too long, so I left.On the way, Alexander fell ill and died.

As soon as the head teacher left, the students broke out. The Indian Chandragupta rose up and drove the Greeks left by Alexander out of India, and built a huge empire by himself.

It is said that the Chandragupta family was born as a professional peacock breeder, so the empire he founded is called the Maurya Dynasty.

The Maurya Dynasty is a rare native long-lived dynasty in Indian history, and it has existed for more than 100 years.

After the Maurya Dynasty, the fourth wave of invaders came. They were old friends of the Chinese people. We have seen it in history books. The name is easy to write, but troublesome to read - Da Yuezhi.

Da Yuezhi originally lived in the northwest of my country, because he was often bullied by another old friend of the Chinese people, the Huns, he had no choice but to abandon his family and business and went to India to try his luck.

As the saying goes, when a tree is moved to death, a person is moved to live.

Da Yueshi was a veteran warrior in the east, but he became the god of war when he went to India. He easily won a large area of ​​land and grew into a giant dynasty.

Together with the Roman Empire, the Parthia Empire, and the Han Dynasty, the Guishuang Empire was called the Four Great Eurasian Empires at that time.

Zhisheng Huainan is orange.It seems that sometimes you can't do well in China, and it is necessary to go abroad to try your luck.

The Guishuang Empire lived longer than the Maurya Dynasty and existed for more than 200 years.

Afterwards, there was finally another great man in India, named Chandragupta I, who was similar in name to the founder of the Mauryan Dynasty.

It seems that if you want to be a master in India, you have to have such a name.

Chandragupta I unified most of India and established the Gupta Empire.
