"Great Khan! Not good! The Ming Army, the Ming Army, the Ming Army appears again!"
As soon as Lin Danhan finished speaking, his subordinate Jinong, named Tuo Ke, shouted from outside.
Anyone can hear his fear of the Ming army from this extremely panicked voice.
Lin Danhan himself was no exception. He asked with a trembling voice: "Why are you here so soon?!"
Feng Quan, who had been following him, was also a little confused and couldn't help but ask Lin Danhan: "Great Khan, what should I do?"
Lin Danhan said depressingly: "What else can we do? Keep migrating! I would rather fight bloody battles with other tribes than fight with the Ming army. Their guns and cannons are like they have eyes! There is no way to fight!"
With that said, Lin Danhan left the tent first, mounted his horse and ordered the Mongolian nobles who gathered around him: "Continue to migrate! Go west to Turpan!"
"yes!"
For a time, these officers and soldiers from various Mongolian tribes united by Lin Dan Khan immediately mounted their horses, some armed with guns, and headed for Turpan.
…
Soon after, the Ming army caught up here.
"The shit hasn't dried yet, so he shouldn't have been gone for long. General, do we want to pursue him?"
Commander Yang Zhan walked up to Zhou Yuji and asked.
Zhou Yuji said: "Don't rush to chase now. Let them eliminate Turpan for us first. Then we will chase after them, and we will still use the old method. When the time comes, we will send a new force of cavalry, each with two battle flags, to chase after them, causing ten The misconception that Wan Tieqi suddenly came to the rescue made him, Lindan Batur, eliminate the Yarkands for us after he eliminated Turpan for us!"
"As you command!"
Yang Zhan replied.
"This Lindan Batur can run faster than a rabbit! I'm afraid he won't even be able to clear out the remaining enemies of the original tribe who settled here."
Lu Xiangsheng also rode to Zhou Yuji at this time, and said to Zhou Yuji: "In my opinion, it is necessary to send people to search, and then provide some assistance to these indigenous tribes, surrender them, and allocate grazing land to them. Prepare for future Chineseization work.”
Zhou Yuji nodded.
Lu Xiangsheng immediately arranged for people to search for the remnants of the nearby indigenous tribes.
And not long after, because they learned that the Ming army had a large amount of food and had driven away bandits such as Lin Dan Batur for them, these remnants of the already hungry indigenous tribes all accepted the surrender of the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army.
However, some tribal leaders among these forces did not accept the policy of allocating grazing land.
The Ming army was not polite and directly shot these tribal leaders for disobeying the policy, which frightened other tribal leaders into accepting it.
At the same time, Lu Xiangsheng also recruited young men from these tribes to form a Western Expedition Coordination Army. In the name of revenge for these people and the Ming army, he asked these people to join the Ming Dynasty in the Western Expedition.
Because the Western Expeditionary Army cannot leave a large number of young men in its rear who have not yet been Chineseized.
These young men did not refuse. After all, they also wanted revenge and knew that if they wanted to be full and not hungry, and if they wanted to live, they had to obey the arrangements of the more civilized Ming army.
Therefore, in the end, the people left in these places are mainly young children who are easy to assimilate, and some old and weak women and children.
…
boom!
boom!
boom!
Lin Dan Khan's musketeers started shooting directly when Turpan's cavalry charged into the formation.
The lead bullets directly knocked these Turpan cavalry to the ground.
Lin Danhan had fought against the Ming Dynasty many times, and he also knew how powerful the muskets were. He also obtained from various channels a flintlock gun that, although it was lagging behind the Ming Dynasty's muskets, was still considered very advanced in this era.
And now, Lin Dan Khan relied on this tactic of lining up and killing musketeers equipped with a large number of flintlocks to wipe out many tribes when migrating westward.
Now Lin Dan Khan is doing his old trick again.
When the Turpan cavalry attack was thwarted, tens of thousands of cavalry under his command fought out from both wings, causing the Turpan cavalry, which had just been thwarted in the frontal attack, to fall into a three-sided encirclement.
In the end, Turpan was defeated and forced to withdraw to Hami Guard.
Lin Dan Khan, on the other hand, led his troops to pursue the victory and implemented a brutal policy of massacre and plunder in various parts of Turpan, basically killing them all in unison.
Because Lin Dan Khan and his Mongolian army were different from the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army, they had no logistical supplies and relied entirely on robbing food from other tribes. Therefore, it was impossible for them to feed the captives and civilians of other tribes, so they could only Kill them all.
In addition, Lin Dan Khan also needs to maintain morale and stabilize cohesion in this way.
After all, being chased by the Ming army like lost dogs, they need to find comfort from other tribes that are not as powerful as them.
But because of this, Lin Dan Khan and his Mongolian army attracted a lot of hatred.
The surviving remnants of the original tribe all hated them.
It can be said that wherever they passed, rivers of blood flowed and cries continued.
…
"They have no humanity. They kill everyone they see, including women and children. They are just a bunch of beasts. I still remember the scene when more than 20 of them humiliated my sister to death. I want to kill them! Kill them! I hate it. I didn’t avenge her, nor my family, woo hoo!”
At the complaint meeting organized by Lu Xiangsheng, the surviving young men of the indigenous tribes cried out one by one about the misery brought to them by the Mongolian army led by Lin Dan Khan.
Some clenched their fists and roared because of emotion.
Some are holding their heads and crying.
Even many officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were infected by it. They felt that Lin Dan Khan's Mongolian army was hateful, and they took the initiative to ask for orders to pursue Lin Dan Khan.
But Zhou Yuji always delayed on the grounds that the food and grass had not arrived.
Even in order to stabilize the morale eager to fight and continue to implement the strategy of letting Lin Dan Khan's troops do bad things in the front and eliminate the indigenous forces for the Ming Dynasty's Western Expeditionary Army, Zhou Yuji and Lu Xiangsheng each played a good role and a bad face, each time they would There were quarrels in the military tent.
Lu Xiangsheng was responsible for guiding the youth of these indigenous tribes who had complained, and promised to avenge their families. He also said: "Everyone, your family is now ruined. The root cause is not the cruelty of Lin Dan Batur and his army, but you." Myself, your civilization is too backward and has not advanced with the times to the same Han civilization as my Ming Dynasty, so you have suffered such consequences. Remember, if you fall behind, you will be beaten! Why won't my Ming Dynasty be beaten by them? The reason for bullying is because our Han civilization in the Ming Dynasty is more advanced than theirs! Now if you want to defeat these bandits, you must accept the Han civilization, submit to me, the Ming Dynasty, and use advanced civilization to defeat the backward civilization!"
Now that the Ming Dynasty was rich and powerful, the young and strong native tribesmen after these complaints easily accepted Lu Xiangsheng's remarks, actively joined the army, and received Chinese education.
However, what they don't know is that the cause of all these tragedies is actually the Ming Empire, which wants to be the overlord of the earth.
…
"This strategy of Zhou Yuji and Lu Xiangsheng is good. They used the strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves to allow Lindan Batur's Mongolian army to clear the way for the Western Expedition. In this way, Lindan Batur has become the vanguard of my Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition!"
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing after learning about this, and felt very satisfied, and ordered: "Order the Privy Council and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to send troops and officials to take over these places as soon as possible while only most of the people are left in these places. When young children are no longer taller than a wheel, provide Chinese education!"
"In addition, send more eloquent people to denounce the cruelty and inhumanity of Lin Dan Batur's troops, and let Ruan Dacheng, who is in charge of the Huangming Newspaper, organize a Western Expedition reporting team to report on the cruelty of Lin Dan Batur's troops, and then report Return to the country and let the officials and people at home know that the Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition was a just act, for benevolence, and to save the suffering foreigners, not for militarism! Let Ruan Dacheng and others report more touching stories of the Ming army helping local orphans."
