Song Sheng passed away at the age of sixty-three.
As a senior general of the Ming Dynasty, Optimus Prime guarded the northwest, and he left on the eve of the establishment of a province in the Western Region.
Yuan Yue held a spear in his hand and fought with Liu Qixia. Every move was so sharp and crazy that Liu Qixia's hands were bleeding from the jaws. Looking at Liu Qixia who fell to the ground, Yuan Yue inserted his spear into the ground and looked up at the sky.
The wind and snow are lingering, and people's hearts are filled with sadness.
"General Song had no regrets. He saw the imperial court's determination to take back the Western Regions, and also saw the imperial court's document establishing the Three Divisions. He knew clearly that the Western Regions would become a province of the Ming Dynasty and remain on the Ming Dynasty's territory forever."
Liu Qixia rubbed her wrist and walked beside Yuan Yue.
Yuan Yue's determined face was full of sadness, and he let the snowflakes fall on him. After rising from the mountains and wilderness, he met two noble men, one was Zhang Fu and the other was Song Sheng.
Zhang Fu discovered himself and promoted himself, it was Bole.
Song Sheng cultivated and trained himself, and he was a teacher.
From an infantry general to a mounted general, Song Sheng gave him a lot of help. It was he who personally handed over the Shandan Army Racecourse to him. It was he who selected a group of outstanding cavalry officers and trained him day and night. It was he who Take him personally and go deep into the grass-grazing valley in the land of Oala...
Mount your horse and fight on horseback.
Riding and shooting, riding and strategy.
Every progress has Song Sheng’s shadow behind it.
He is a strong general who has been injured for many years and never gives up; he is a majestic general who is unsmiling and has strict military discipline; he is a general who puts national affairs first and devotes countless efforts to training generals.
Yuan Yue knew that he could be the vanguard against Harry and be able to shoulder heavy combat responsibilities many times with Song Sheng's strong support and recommendation. Otherwise, with his identity without foundation and background, how could he be able to compete with Xu Yingxu and Zhu Gaoxu? Waiting for someone to fight?
Song Sheng, the old man who loved, protected and supported himself, is gone.
Yuan Yue sighed deeply, blinked away tears, and said in a deep voice: "General Song's last wish before his death was for long-term peace and stability in the Western Regions. We must help him take care of the Western Regions so that there will be no more wars and no more sounds of weapons."
Liu Qixia nodded solemnly: "The imperial court has decided to set up a commanding officer and a garrison in the Western Region. If this determination does not waver, the Western Region will be consolidated forever."
Yuan Yue thought of Zhu Yunwen's deep eyes and said firmly: "The supreme will will not be shaken. He will never allow the Western Region to be lost again."
Liu Qixia agreed with Yuan Yue's analysis. Zhu Yunwen was a talented and strategic monarch, and he would never allow the recovered territory to be divided again.
Guo Sansheng came over, looked at the two silent people in the snow, and said, "General Song will prepare for the shift in seven days. The logistics supplies are not enough to support the shift until mid-March. We need to shift in early March, and the remaining grain and grass will , baggage, cattle and sheep must all be left to the sergeants stationed at the garrison.”
Yuan Yue and Liu Qixia came to their senses and agreed.
It is impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to stay in the Western Region all the time, as the logistics pressure is too great.
Although the imperial court agreed with Zhu Di's strategy of establishing ten guards and twenty-six guards in the Western Regions, it was unrealistic to fully staff them all at once. The initial transition plan can only be to station 60,000 sergeants, and within six months to one year, other garrison sergeants will be selected to enter the Western Region for rotation.
Who will stay and who will teach? This is a key issue and must be properly arranged. Although most of the Beijing army needs to return, considering the management of the Western Region and the deployment of troops within the pass, it is impossible for all the Beijing army to return to the capital, and about 20,000 sergeants must be left behind.
But at present, the Western Region has returned to peace, and those who have the ability to rebel have basically been eliminated. Although the forces in Turpan and Hami are still there, they have witnessed the power of the Ming Dynasty sergeants and the power of firearms, giving them the courage to come. He won't rebel either.
Guo Sansheng, Imam and others made great efforts to ensure the stability of the Western Region. Imam relied on his Islamic reputation and led his followers to lobby the local people over and over again, introducing the Ming Dynasty's policies and ensuring the Ming Dynasty. It will not interfere with their beliefs, and vigorously promotes that it was the Ming Dynasty that drove away the evil Timur and protected countless believers and people.
After countless people heard about it, they came out to contact the Ming Dynasty one after another. They saw that the Ming Dynasty's military discipline was majestic and never robbed the people. Even when buying and selling goods, they would give out treasure notes, copper coins, or directly barter. The transactions were fair and there was no bullying. Things happened and people's hearts gradually stabilized.
Guo Sansheng, Wang Jingzhang, Chen Qia, Chen Jun, etc. even led people to go deep into the homes of ordinary people to help people affected by the snow disaster rebuild their homes and build houses. Military doctors also began to move to local areas to treat local people. Tens of thousands of soldiers went to various places, Together with the local people, we demarcated the farming areas and determined the routes of karez. Once the earth warmed up, many soldiers would dig karez to help develop farming in the Western Regions.
The Ming Dynasty's military and civilian policies in the Western Regions can only be summarized in four words: peace is the most important thing.
When encountering disputes, misunderstandings and conflicts, you can find someone to negotiate and explain the situation. Whoever is at fault will be judged. It is the fault of the Ming Dynasty sergeants and they will not be punished severely. It is the fault of the local people, and you can be lenient if you can. If leniency is not allowed, the church will declare the situation, inform the people, and then impose punishment.
The Western Regions, which have regained peace and stability, gradually regained their vitality with the coming of spring. In addition, the imperial court determined the strategy of "reopening the Silk Road and reducing taxes in the northwest." The Western Regions became a low-lying place for business and taxation. As long as you brought a certain amount of food into the In the Western Region, merchants can enjoy certain tax exemptions.
This is undoubtedly a huge stimulus for countless businessmen.
The imperial court's logistical supply of food and other supplies to the Western Regions gradually shifted from the focus on people to camels, caravans, and supplementary people.
What was unexpected was that when Ming Dynasty was preparing to teach, Yili suddenly sent news back to the inner city. According to the agreement, Harry sent 200,000 taels of gold, 3 million taels of silver, and a pile of cattle, sheep, and horses.
The rich harvest has become the best gift for the army commander.
Zhu Di summoned Xu Huizu, Yang Rong, Liu Jun, Xu Kai, Qu Neng, Yuan Yue, Zhou Dazhi and others to discuss the situation in the Western Regions.
Liu Jun hit the nail on the head and pointed out: "Harry sent compensation one month in advance, which can explain at least two points. First, after four months, Harry has initially controlled the situation in Timur's empire and firmly established himself as sultan. Secondly, Harry is afraid of the Ming Dynasty and hopes to abide by the agreement and give up the Ming Dynasty's threat to Samarkand."
Yang Rong and others nodded repeatedly. Liu Jun's analysis was correct. Harry's actions showed that he had power but was also fearful.
Zhu Di agreed with Liu Jun's words and asked: "So, the threat to the Western Regions from the Timur Empire no longer exists, right?"
Liu Jun said seriously: "I dare not say that it does not exist, but at least during the Harry period, it should be relatively stable. Even if Timur's empire fell apart and fell into civil war, they would have no time to look around. Based on this, it can be inferred that Timur's empire fell apart and fell into civil war. The threat from the Empire to the Western Region is already very low, and there will be no worries for at least five years."
Zhu Di looked at Yang Rong.
Yang Rong came out and echoed Liu Jun: "What Liu Shilang said is absolutely true. There are currently three external threats in the Western Regions. Timur's empire can ignore them, and Oara has signed a peace treaty with the imperial court. Under the control of Mahamu and others In the case of Oara, they are unlikely to directly threaten the Western Regions. The only threat is the Golden Horde, but it is in chaos internally and shows signs of splitting. In addition, its sphere of influence will not extend beyond the Alashankou, and it will pose no threat to the Western Regions. The threat is still limited."
Zhu Di looked at the map hanging nearby. The situation in the Western Region was now clear. Although there were enemies in the north, northwest and southwest, there was not one that could threaten the peace of the Western Region.
There are no powerful enemies outside the Western Region, and there are no worries inside. Peace is a foregone conclusion.
Zhu Di once again emphasized: "The key to long-term peace and stability in the Western Regions lies in whether we can win the hearts and minds of the people here. The imperial officials have not yet been stationed, and the governance of the guards will need to be under pressure for a period of time. However, the governance of the guards must not bully the people. After the army is dispatched, , Liu Jun, Qu Neng, Yuan Yue, Liu Qixia, Zhou Dazhi and others will coordinate the health and local governance, and everything should be focused on maintaining stability."
Liu Jun, Qu Neng and others took the order.
When the class teacher returns to the court, everyone cannot go back at once, someone must stay behind to guard the place.
As Liu Jun is the minister of the Ministry of War and an official in the future Chief Envoy of the Western Regions, it is most suitable for him to stay here.
Qu Neng is Hongwu
As a veteran, it is appropriate for him to temporarily succeed Song Sheng and temporarily lead the Dusi. Although Yuan Yue is a good candidate, he lacks experience in Dusi management after all.
Zhou Dazhi was steady and good at commanding the Shenji Battalion. He was left in the Western Regions to manage and control a group of firearms troops, which was very helpful in controlling the Western Regions and deterring and fighting local chaos.
Zhu Di dispersed the army to garrison. Due to the shortage of troops and problems with logistics supply, although guards were set up in some places, only 3,000 sergeants were stationed, not at full strength.
Even so, it is enough to maintain the current situation in the Western Region.
On February 20th, Harry's gold, silver and other items were sent to Verum for registration.
On February 23, Zhu Di ordered all the 80,000 soldiers who had returned to Beijing to gather at the Martyrs' Square in Verumu, and bid farewell to the Song Dynasty who were sleeping under the Martyrs' Square with the sound of thirty-eight rounds (the year of the founding of the People's Republic) of divine machine guns. Sheng, Tang Yun and more than ten thousand soldiers.
The army is in full swing.
Five days later, Zhu Di led his troops to arrive in Hami. Because King Totuo of Hami was late to greet him, he became furious and personally led his troops into the palace of Hami, killing Dotuo and dozens of members of his royal family.
Reports from the Security Bureau, the Scouts, Yang Rong and others came out one after another, all conveying a signal: Zhu Di was domineering.
The domineering Zhu Di killed the Hami king Tuotuo, but the Hami guards such as Maha Ma Huo Zhe, Hala Hana, Gu Sicheng and others did not stop him at all, and did not even say a word.
On March 12, when the army marched to Suzhou, Zhu Di killed Zhang Chang despite everyone's obstruction on the grounds that Zhang Chang was having an affair with Wala...
