Fei Zhen and Chen Mao personally led the troops.
Thirty thousand cavalry went straight to Hami, which instantly shocked the country of Hami.
After all, since the Ming Dynasty set up the Hami Guard, the Ming army has never seen such a big move.
It is very funny to say that in order to control the power of Hami, the loyal and obedient king Bu Xishili and the loyal brother Tuohuan Timur continued to fight openly and secretly to win over the local noble lords of Hami.
As a result, when the Ming army's cavalry suddenly came to the city, the two little kings united in a tacit understanding and acted unanimously.
Soon after the two kings discussed it, they decided to lead their ministers to greet him.
After all, the Ming Dynasty is the suzerainty of the Hami Kingdom. No matter why the Ming army came this time, they cannot shut people out like this, otherwise they will be greeted by the anger of the entire Ming Dynasty. This is a problem for the entire Hami Kingdom. Neither can afford it.
The main reason is that Hami is too small and its national power is weak.
The two kings of Hami have less than 10,000 warriors combined who can fight!
Compared with the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty, there is no comparison at all!
Not to mention the entire Ming Dynasty, let alone the northwest theater of the Ming Dynasty. Even if they devote all their efforts to the Ming Dynasty, it is still unknown whether they can defeat the 30,000 Ming Cavalry in front of them!
So the city gates of Hami were opened wide, and the two kings and the nobles of Hami came out to greet them respectfully.
However, Fei Chen only used one sentence to plunge the entire Hami into panic!
"This officer is Fei Qian, the chief military officer of Gansu Province. Under the orders of His Majesty the Wude Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Hami Kingdom has disrespected the king's orders and provoked the Celestial Empire. Now we are sending troops to defeat the rebels and destroy them!"
Fei Chu pulled out the long sword from his waist and shouted loudly: "You have to wait within one day for the whole country to surrender, otherwise our king's army will launch an attack on the city. After the city is defeated, the entire Hami chickens and dogs will not be left behind. Don't say it was unpredicted." !”
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!
The Zhongshun King of Hami, Bu Xishili, and the loyal King Tuohuan Timur were all panicked and asked in disbelief: "Master Fei, is there a misunderstanding in this, Master Fei?"
"Yes, General Fei, I, Hami, have always obeyed the orders of the Celestial Sect, and I have never done anything disobedient, General!"
The two kings immediately panicked.
They never thought that this Ming army was here to destroy the country!
Moreover, they still obeyed the orders of Emperor Wude of the Ming Dynasty, and they were determined to defeat Hami before giving up!
How can this be?
The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and is rich all over the world. How could it be interested in Hami?
Fei Chen and the others knew each other well. After all, he was the commander-in-chief of Gansu Province. He was the Ming official they had the most contact with, and he was also the Ming general with the highest status in their knowledge!
But now, Fei Qi, who used to be kind and cheerful in the past, was expressionless and just looked at them coldly.
"You know what you have done in your heart!"
"Within one day, open the city and beg for surrender, otherwise no chickens or dogs will be left!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fei Chen turned and left without giving the two kings a chance to continue speaking.
At this time, the two kings were really dumbfounded, because they understood that Fei Chu was serious and Daming was serious!
Subconsciously, the two kings led the nobles to flee back to the city, and hurriedly closed the city gate!
Seeing this scene, Chen Mao just felt a little funny.
"Fei Chen, if there really is a fight, how long will it take for our army to break through this small country?"
Hearing this, Fei Chen couldn't help but smile.
"I guess half a day?"
There was no way, he was already making a conservative estimate.
As far as he knew, the Kingdom of Hami was indeed very small, with only such a royal city, and a territory of hundreds of miles in radius, not even comparable to a state capital of the Ming Dynasty!
And the total number of people in the Hami Kingdom is no more than 100,000 people. The real warriors are estimated to be only about 10,000 people.
If it had not been for the secret support of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the Hami country would have been annexed and destroyed by other grassland barbarians. How could it have waited until now!
It's a pity that they didn't realize this!
It's just fighting each other, and you dare to ignore the mediation of the Ming Dynasty. If that's the case, why are you left here?
The only advantage that Hami has is its special geographical location, at the throat of the Western Regions and protected by China!
If it were any other place, Ming would definitely look down on it and wouldn't even bother to send troops to exterminate these guys.
It's a pity that with the strategy formulated by the imperial court, Ming Dynasty is about to enter Central Asia, so there is no need for Hami to exist.
After all, Ming Dynasty must clear away all hidden dangers along the way and not leave any threats to the Western Expeditionary Army!
Chen Mao looked at Hami Royal City for a moment, then shook his head disdainfully, unable to show any interest.
Too small, too weak and too pitiful!
Even this royal city is made of earthen walls!
This is simply bullying!
It's small, but also very cute...
"Hurry up!"
"Trapped this small country to the ground!"
"The craftsmen are still waiting to come over to build a military base!"
Fei Chen nodded, and then called a lieutenant to whisper a few words.
The deputy general took the order and went away, leading a team of crossbowmen to fire a shower of arrows into the royal city.
On the arrows, there was a letter of surrender written in Hami language. The purpose was naturally to break the fighting spirit of the Hami country and make the whole country surrender honestly. Otherwise, if the Ming Dynasty really waited for the Ming Dynasty to attack the city, there would probably be countless casualties.
This kind of psychological attack method has long been common knowledge on the battlefield of the Ming army's siege.
One after another, the surrender letters fell into the hands of the people of Hami. After their shock, they were filled with endless anger and fear.
The anger is that the surrender letter clearly states that it was because the two kings of Hami were fighting for power and disrespecting the suzerain country that the emperor of the suzerain country sent troops to attack them!
It's even easier to be anxious and uneasy. The Ming Dynasty has sent its royal master to attack. How can they withstand it?
Take this sand city wall?
Or take your own head?
damn it!
The people of Hami Kingdom gathered one after another and surrounded the so-called palace city of Hami, demanding that the two kings of Hami immediately open the city and surrender. They will never be enemies of the Ming Dynasty!
Tens of thousands of Hami people rioted, scaring the two Hami kings and a group of nobles into hiding in the palace.
They argued and yelled, trying to put all the blame on each other.
Especially Hami's Zhongshun King Bu Xishili and the loyal King's younger brother Tuohuan Timur, the two almost came to blows.
If the other party hadn't deliberately provoked trouble and insisted on fighting to the death, how would the Great Tomorrow Dynasty know about it and even send Wang Shi to attack because of this?
However, the deal is already done, and now they have no other choice.
The only option is to surrender!
Otherwise, what else can be done?
Are they really going to fight with the Ming army?
Stop joking!
They can't even get out of the palace now!
I'm afraid those rioting people have already welcomed the Ming Dynasty King's troops into the city!
The two kings sighed deeply and had to order the whole country to surrender.
Half an hour later, the Ming Dynasty cavalry entered the city of Hami, and all the royal family and nobles were packed up, ready to be sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to spend the rest of their lives. At least they could get a count or something, and it was considered a light smoke from their ancestral graves.
The people of Hami will all move inland to Gansu. Next, the Royal Engineering Team of the Ming Dynasty will rush to Hami and build Hami into a military fortress, which will also be the logistics base for the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army!
The Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition will begin from now on and officially march into Central Asia to wipe out all disloyalty!
