Chapter 155: Under the City of Luntai
Chapter 155
This Luntai City is embedded with the sky, just like it has been here since ancient times.
According to Acitemur's estimate of this city, it is not easy to use slaves from all over the country to build this city.
Such a city grew like bamboo shoots after a rain in the Western Regions, becoming the biggest stumbling block for his strategy to the Western Regions.
Aci Timur had a premonition at this moment.
That is, his Eastern Expedition has ended here.
It is almost impossible to go further.
He also expected this.
Anyway, this time, there have been enough gains for Acitemur, with more than 100,000 people and the wealth of the city.
These Han people will become the best craftsmen and farmers in Acitemur.
Not to mention, just in case.
The imperial court hoarded a lot of things among the cities of the Western Regions, and among the two cities of Shule and Kucha, these strategic reserves were all made by thorns.
With these things, it is enough for Achittimuer to do a lot of things.
Acitemur looked at the flag shaking suddenly above the city, and there was a little disturbance. He asked who was there? Someone reported: "This is the flag of King Yi of the Ming Dynasty."
When Achitemur looked over, he suddenly felt a little envious.
It is said that the tiger father has no dog and son, but it seems that the fortune of the Choros family has been consumed by four generations. From Mahamu, Tuohuan, and Yesen to him, his wrists are high and low, and his abilities are strong and weak, but overall, they can be regarded as a generation of outstanding people.
But when he arrived at Acitemur, he was not without a son. He had too many women in his life and several adult sons, but no matter how he was, he was not enough to take on the great responsibility of Wats.
Seeing that Zhu Qizhen had a son like this, I couldn't help but envy him.
He also knew what King Yi did. He admired him even more. But if Zhu Qizhen's son was placed here, it would be impossible for him to inherit the arrangement of the Ming Dynasty.
He said to himself: "Is the Prince of the Ming Dynasty more skilled than King Yi?"
When I think of this and then my sons, I sighed even more.
Suddenly someone rode a horse and ran in the snow, knelt in the snow, and said, "Shank you, someone from the Firemen's army is here."
Aci Timur nodded and said, "I understand."
After the winter began, the wars in the Western Regions came to an end. The Fired One Division was the most beneficial in this chaos, in order to obtain the support of the Fired One Division.
Acitemur only took some money from the materials in southern Xinjiang. Now, Shule and Kucha are in the hands of the Firemen, and countless Hui people support them.
Tens of thousands of troops were integrated. Although there were still some lack of combat effectiveness and training level, religious fanaticism was not comparable to other divisions of Wastu.
After all, Aci Timur's belief in Hui and Islam is simply a political consideration. It is false to say that he truly believes in Hui and Islam, but he is just using Hui and Islam to consolidate Waschi's rule over Central Asia.
Even Aci Timur secretly restricted the spread of Hui and Islam in the Wasai headquarters.
The Firemen's troops were besieging Gaochang, but they failed to defeat them. Now that winter is coming, they can't fight anymore, so he naturally has to come to Aci Timur to discuss countermeasures.
Wait for Aci Timur to return to the big tent.
The envoy of the Fire Tribe had arrived. When he saw Acitemur, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings to the Great Khan."
Acitemur waved his hand and asked him to be rude and said, "Fire Master Pingzhang, what's the matter with you?"
Pingzhang is the political status given to the Fire Lord by Aci Timur. It is also a false title. Aci Timur did not change the form of the Watshu Empire, but was just a tribal alliance.
The Firemen occupied Shule and Kucha. If they could be preserved, they would be the more powerful of the Washu tribes.
The envoy said, "I am the one who represents fire, Pingzhang, and I also invite reinforcements."
Aci Timur was slightly stunned and said, "Reinforcements? It's winter now, and this battle cannot be fought."
The envoy of the Fire Master said, "The Khan, the Han generals in Gaochang City, have killed all the believers in Gaochang City, and piled up the bodies outside the city, saying that they were Jingguan. For the glory of the Lord, they must not allow a living thing in Gaochang City."
Aci Timur paused slightly and said, "Is the guard of Gaochang City Shi Biao?"
"This is this devil." The tone of the Firebrand was extremely intense.
Acitemur looked at the envoy of the Fire Tribe, and there was a hint of mental retardation in his eyes.
The Wasai was defeated from the east to the Western Regions, and they had been dealing with the Ming Dynasty for too long. So when half of the capture of southern border, Acitemur chose property and took many Han prisoners away.
But the Fire Master is not.
These fanatics naturally killed all these Gaddafis. Some Mongolians were also listed here. Acitemur did not stop him at that time, but had foreseen the Ming Dynasty's tragic revenge.
You should know that when the Ming Dynasty killed the Mongols, he never ruthlessly. Especially Shi Heng, he killed prisoners when he moved, and felt that the head was more than the prisoners were carrying, so he killed them.
And the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was an extremely tough figure.
Didn’t these people think about the consequences when they slapped him in the face like this?
Now what Shi Biao does is really like a man.
In fact, this is also the reason why Acitmuer is indulging. Only by allowing these southern borders to return and remain unstoppable with the Ming Dynasty can we bring more buffer time and buffer zones to Washu.
"For the sake of Allah, Khan will send troops to razor Gaochang City."
Acitemur smiled slightly and said, "It is also the only people of Allah. But you have seen it too. Today, the cold land is cold, so don't move troops. After the spring next year, you will definitely lead troops south and pull out Gaochang City."
"The messenger goes down and rest first."
What else does this envoy want to say?
As soon as Acitemur waved his hand, someone immediately took the envoy down to rest.
Aci Timur thought about it and summoned someone.
He was not someone else, but a captured civil servant named Guo He. Before he was captured, he was just an ordinary military farmer.
It was also because he failed to pass the imperial examination in the mainland, so he had to become an official in the Western Regions.
Aci Timur said: "Do you want to go back to Central Plains?"
Guo He said: "Of course I think about it."
Acitemur said, "Now there is a chance. I want you to go to Beijing." Then Acitemur picked up a pen and wrote a letter, drying it and saying to Guo He, "Support this letter to the Ming Dynasty."
Acitemur did not say anything in the letter. He just said that when he heard about the rebellion of the Western Regions, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally wanted to raise troops to serve the court to quell the rebellion.
But the people below didn't understand what he meant, so they had a conflict with King Yi. The two sides didn't fight and knew each other, but now they knew it was a misunderstanding.
He was willing to compensate King Yi for one or two, and both sides would dismiss the army and stop the fight.
This article is full of silly words, and the core is a foolish sentence: I entered the Western Regions to help the court quell the rebellion, rather than fighting with the Ming Dynasty, and misunderstandings about all kinds of things during the war.
There are also hints that he is willing to help the Ming Dynasty quell certain rebellions in southern Xinjiang, either by others or by the Firebringer.
That's right, Achitemur is ready to sell the Firebrand.
If you sell it or not, you must first divide the boundaries. At least he did not do the slaughter of Han people. He only wanted to be a slave to Han people.
Acitemur also knew that his letter must not deceive the Ming court.
But sometimes, how does a politician’s decision make the most good for oneself, rather than what the truth is?
If the Ming Dynasty court pinched his nose and accepted his remarks, Aci Timur would have retreated. Anyway, he had already made a fortune. If such a thing happens in the future, he would have helped to quell the rebellion.
Of course, some of the territory and influence that have been obtained will not be given up for no reason.
In the future, the Ming Dynasty will probably only have a few cities left to control the Western Regions.
However, with Acitemur's understanding of the Ming Emperor, the best answer for him is likely not to appear, so he did not select the envoy of the Wassad. He was worried that the envoy he sent would become the prop for the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to kill Ming Zhi, so he simply sent someone who would not feel heartbroken even if he died.
