One day in mid-to-late April of the 11th year of Hongwu, an army of the Gur Dynasty stationed in the Koti area stared at a convoy when they were full of food, drink and boredom.
They saw that the motorcade looked like it was owned by a very wealthy family, and they felt that there should be a lot of wealth, so they rode up and prepared to rob.
The guards escorting the convoy were frightened and tried their best to resist, but they were defeated and were quickly killed.
After killing all the people guarding the convoy, the soldiers of the Imperial Army were surprised to find that there were not only a large amount of property in the convoy, but also many beautiful women.
They were so happy that their eyes gleamed, and they took away their property and women, and then they had a great time in the military camp, enjoying endless pleasure.
They may think it's no big deal, just a bunch of women.
But the problem is that these women are not ordinary mountain village women. Ordinary mountain village women may be robbed by them, and the Khwarezm country from top to bottom will not have any opinions.
But the problem is that these women are the family members of a senior general in the Khwarezm army, including his wives, concubines, daughters, and other female elders, juniors, etc. in the family.
These family members felt that the Koti area was no longer safe and were afraid of the Ming army, so they planned to continue westward to safer places, such as heavily guarded places near the capital, to take refuge, and then return to their hometowns when the incident was over.
But the Ming army did not come. Instead, the "Guardian Saint" they invited brought a lot of trouble to these female relatives.
After the incident, the senior general cried loudly and looked like a madman. He drew his sword and wanted to go to the Gur Dynasty army to settle accounts. His colleagues in the army stopped him and refused to let him die.
Although other senior generals have not encountered such a thing, they all feel that the lessons from the past are right in front of them. If they do not take some precautions, they may make the same mistakes again.
With a strong sense of grief over the death of the rabbit and the fox, they went to find Arslan together and asked him for a solution to the matter, saying that they could not let the matter pass like this no matter what, and something must be done.
If the behavior of the Gur Dynasty army is not restrained, they are afraid that they will turn the entire Khwarezm country upside down before the Ming army arrives, and everyone will be tortured to death by them.
He didn't die at the hands of the Ming people, but he died at the hands of his own allies. What's going on?
After Arslan learned about this matter, he felt that the problem was very serious and fatal, so he quickly found Shihabuddin, the commander-in-chief of the Gur Dynasty army, and wanted to discuss the matter with him. Solution.
Unexpectedly, Shihabdin was drinking and having fun with a woman and didn't care about this matter. After hearing this, he thought that this was just the family member of a useless general, so he just let it go.
A bunch of losers who can't beat the Ming people don't deserve to have such a good woman, so why not let their warriors enjoy such a good woman?
They will return it to you naturally after you have had enough fun, don't worry.
If I'm injured and die, it's just a misunderstanding, I'm just a woman, I'll just pay you a little money, what else is there to say? What woman can’t be bought with money?
Arslan was very dissatisfied with this. Although he needed the help of the Gur Dynasty army, these people treated him with such naked contempt, which made him very unhappy.
If I do this, all my subordinates will turn against me. What qualifications do I have to continue to be king?
So he made it very clear about the importance of this matter and demanded compensation and an apology. Otherwise, he would have difficulty convincing the people as a king and the matter would be very serious.
Shihabdin looked at him and sneered.
"Okay, I'll apologize and make amends, and then I'll lead the army and leave so that I won't cause you any more trouble, okay?"
Arslan was stunned on the spot.
Then he could no longer maintain a tough attitude. His attitude quickly softened. He spoke kind words and even begged to get rid of Shihabdin and do something. Otherwise, he really couldn't convince the public. Something happened.
Could it be that Shihabdin wanted to have a fire in his backyard while he was fighting the Ming people?
Shihabdin thought for a while and felt that what Arslan said was not unreasonable. Although he was very unhappy, he decided to do something to restrain the behavior of the people under his command so that they would not go too far.
It's okay to bully the common people. Officials should take it easy and don't make it difficult for everyone to get off the stage.
The final solution to this matter was that Shihabdin ordered the army to return the women's family members, and then paid some symbolic compensation of gold and silver, and then pretended that the matter had not happened.
All the generals and soldiers who committed crimes were not punished, they were just brushed off and the matter was dealt with hastily.
But three of the senior general's female relatives have died, including his youngest daughter who was not yet ten years old. All the other female relatives were humiliated and scarred, and some were in critical condition, including his wife.
In order to appease him, Arslan rewarded him with a lot of gold, silver, soft goods and women, hoping that this matter would be over and he would not continue to pursue it.
For the sake of the overall interests of the country, please bear with this humiliation.
But the impact of this incident far exceeded Arslan's expectations.
Some people don’t want to endure it anymore.
Its most direct impact was that the senior general was completely disappointed with Arslan and turned directly to the opposition in the DPRK. He also tried his best to persuade other colleagues in the army to join the opposition, making the opposition in Khwarezm country There are also helpers in the army.
At this time, the opposition not only had powerful armed landlords in the local areas, but also had the support of the army from the central government.
The time to launch a mutiny had come, and they not only planned to destroy the incompetent and cowardly Arslan, but also planned to attack Shihab al-Din and make him die without a burial place.
They want revenge and complete their great cause of revenge.
To achieve this, it is not enough to rely on themselves. They are too weak and have no strength. They still need foreign aid, strong foreign aid.
Who is the foreign aid?
Ming army.
Yes, sometimes, in the face of group interests, the definition of enemies and allies will become blurred.
Today we are allies, tomorrow we are enemies. Today we are enemies, tomorrow we can become allies. In fact, we don’t have much to say to each other. The main thing is to see whether our interests are consistent. As long as our interests are consistent, we are allies.
In turn, they can backstab each other at any time, depending on who has the stronger waist.
At present, the Ming Dynasty's waist is obviously the best in the world. It cannot be cut with a knife and cannot be penetrated by a needle. However, the opposition within the Khwarezm Kingdom urgently needs the help of the Ming Dynasty's iron waist.
They will launch a mutiny internally, but they need the cooperation of the Ming army. Everyone should work together to eat up the army of the Gur Dynasty, and then discuss how to deal with the previous matters.
Anyway, the Ming Dynasty’s dog is destined for my country, Khwarezm!
"What did the troops of Guo'er do to force Khwarezm to rebel in this situation?"
When he received the news, Su Haisheng had not yet received the relevant information. He did not know what outrageous things the Gur Dynasty army had done, but he could basically make a good guess.
It's nothing more than pushing some people into desperation.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Ming army's strategic opportunity has come.
This battle could not only surrender the Khwarezm Kingdom and bring it into its sphere of influence, but also eliminate the strategic mobile forces of the Gur Dynasty in one fell swoop, greatly suppressing their upward momentum.
There cannot be many people who dare to challenge the Ming Dynasty's dominant position in Central Asia, and they cannot even be allowed to exist. Such powerful beings must be beaten to death so that the rest do not dare to have similar thoughts.
Only in this way can we create good opportunities for the development of the Renaissance Society in Central Asia.
So Su Haisheng organized his army and prepared to attack.
