Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 674 Needing land but not people (please subscribe!)

"Hurry up and catch up! We can't let that Hezhuo escape to Kashgar!"

"Da Wula, the poor should not chase after him, let him go."

Even though it was raining heavily, Da Wula still had a fire in his heart, and was about to lead the vanguard cavalry to attack in the rain, but was stopped by a Hui who had just entered the temporary camp.

The visitor took off his hood, revealing a vigorous face. Although he was young, his eyes were as deep as mountains and seas.

"Old Wang, aren't you in Tianzhu? Why are you here!"

Da Wula hurriedly saluted, the person who came was Wang Xianwu, a well-known benevolent man in Nanyang, Wadao, and Tianzhu, the lieutenant general of the empire.

Although Da Wula was much older, he had to salute respectfully in front of him.

Wang Xianwu explained: "Huang Qing's Ministry has already captured Ili. I just came from Ili. I was just looking at the siege situation here. I didn't expect you to advance to the city before this spring rain."

Da Wula nodded clearly, then frowned again: "Old Wang, why didn't you chase after him, and just let He Zhuo go like this?"

Wang Xianwu said with a smile: "The guards have captured Ili, and all the armies are advancing together, pushing all the way to the west, releasing Hezhuo to Kashgar, and then driving them to the territory of the Raksha people!"

"Your Majesty has decided, Daming wants land but no people!"

"It's best if they can run away by themselves, and those who can't run away have to be rectified!"

Da Wula was stunned, Lao Wang was still as cruel as before!

By the way, Junggar Khan Ting Yili took it, and Sun Chengen was captured alive!
Zhu Kezang thought that the descendants of his grandson's family had contributed to the sinicization of the Junggar grassland, so he spared his life.

You know, the descendants of Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong, and Kong Youde were either Ling Chi or beheaded.

Although Sun Chengen survived, his family was moved to Abbot Province (Australia) to settle down.

Sun Cheng'en was very satisfied with the ending. He heard that the Abbot's province is sparsely populated, with lush pastures and herds of cattle and sheep. It is a rare treasure.

It would be nice to go there to herd sheep and become a rancher in the future.

"Then Daming's next stop is Congling."

"We'll stop at Congling for the time being, and leave the rest to other people."

Wang Xianwu held a map of the Western Regions and said these words lightly.

"Why not continue west!?"

Da Wula and Gao Meng asked in unison.

They are all counting on drinking horses in the Ural Mountains and capturing Maomei!

Why did Wang Xianwu stop here!

It's a bit like men and women are doing that thing, halfway through, some people say they can't do it!

"Originally, His Majesty also planned to go all the way to the Ural Mountains, but there are changes in the south, and the huge territory of Junggar needs to be digested, and it needs to be gradually planned!"

The Eight-Nation Allied Forces are ready to move in South Tianzhu, and Daming has to spare his hands to deal with them.

Otherwise, who can tolerate the Eight-Power Allied Forces slapping Daming in Tianzhu?

If we advance in Central Asia and North Asia at this time, we are likely to fall into the quagmire of the war between the Qing Dynasty and the Rakshasa. It is better to develop a wave first, and then the wave will be flattened.

Gao Meng frowned: "General Wang, the Junggar people and the Tianfang sect in the southern part of the Tianshan Mountains have not yet broken their roots. If we don't continue to press and cleanse them, it is difficult to guarantee a resurgence!"

"Don't worry, I've already figured out what to do about cleaning up the Western Regions, not to mention we still have the card of the servants of the Eight Banners of Ming Dynasty, they can just do the dirty work!"

One month later, outside Yili City, a temple was converted into a martyr's shrine, with Qiang flute whimpering and guns roaring.

When the white flags were displayed, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in white clothes and black gauze, led by the sacrificial priests in the army, mourned the robe Ze who died in the battle.

During the Battle of Yumenguan and the Battle of Ili and Tianshan, more than 200 people died in non-combat along the way, and a total of 120 people died in real battles.

At the front of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, General Huang Qing led a large number of generals holding incense candles, and bowed to the memorial tablets of the martyrs who died!

A few miles away, tens of thousands of Junggars and Muslims were kneeling on the ground with their hands bound.

There are not only the prisoners of the Yumenguan War, but also the remnants of the Junggar who fought stubbornly in Yili City.

The members of the Sun family have been sent to Yingtian Mansion, and after being inspected by Emperor Zhu Kezang, they will be sent to Fangzhang Province.

The quasi-returning captives at the scene were all pale, and the depressive sobbing was even more incessant, which fit the atmosphere at this time.

Of course they were not mourning for the loyalists of Daming, but weeping for their own fate.

They have already heard that Ming has re-established the Protectorate of the Western Regions in Junggar, Tianshan and other places.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions was set up decades after the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it was established after Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Bing had come to power.

Its existence further compressed the strategic space for the Xiongnu to move westward.

From here, it is enough to explain the strategic importance of the Western Regions, but because it is too wide, and it is the kind that is familiar with sparsely populated areas, when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, it could control it. Once it was a little weaker, it would be basically I can't control it anymore.

The loss of all the seven guards in Kansai in the middle of the Ming Dynasty is a good example.

The so-called Guanxi refers to the area of ​​the Western Regions to the west of Yumen Pass.

The depth from Yumenguan to Yili is 3000 miles, and there are deserts along the way, which are sparsely populated.

There is still a long time in the future before they can completely rule this place.

The first Chief Protector of the Imperial Protectorate of the Western Regions of the Ming Dynasty was Wang Xianwu!

The captives heard that Wang Xianwu was cruel to foreigners, and they would definitely die in his hands!
The only thing that made them breathe a sigh of relief was that Wang Xianwu was touring all over the Western Regions, and he was not in Yili today.

It's not that they didn't think about escaping or even resisting, but tens of thousands of people were divided into groups of dozens or hundreds of people according to their tribes, spread out in disorder, with their hands tied upside down, they could only sit on the ground, and the slightest movement would reveal them.

Among the crowd, servants such as Tibetans, Sinicized Manchurians, Goryeo Bangzi, and Sinicized Japanese wandered back and forth, closely monitoring each group of people.

As long as one person tries to escape, kill the group!
These servants of the Ming Dynasty were ruthless, and this was clearly demonstrated by the dozens of corpse piles, each of which meant the demise of a small tribe.

The rest of the tribe not only did not run away or resist, but instead kept a close eye on their companions, reporting any changes immediately, for fear of being killed by their companions!
Although it may be inevitable to die in the end, their blood will cool down after retreating from the battlefield. At this point, it is human nature to be able to die a moment later than those who died earlier.

The end of the sacrificial ceremony also meant that the captives were about to usher in the final disposal, and the weeping in the crowd became louder.

When the trial time came, the content surprised the captives inexplicably!

There are still murders.

For example, the nobles of the big tribes of Junggar and Yarkand, and the top leaders of the Tianfang sect were all taken out by groups and executed by the servants.

Shooting is not enough to deter aliens. The ancient method of death penalty used by Ming Dynasty today: beheading.

The executioners of the servant army wielded slender machetes and beheaded one by one neatly.

These executioners shouted "Drink!" every time they swung their knives, and bowed deeply to the supervising Ming military officer after finishing the work. They were actually Japanese from thousands of miles away in the east.

They all love to use Japanese knives, and letting them be executioners is to make the best use of them.

Nearly 2000 people conferred their heads one by one in more than half an hour!
