The Ming Dynasty did not change the Huihui people, but gave them the status of Ming people.
To foreign businessmen and businessmen traveling in Western Xinjiang, if they shout "I am a Huihui", few people will look at them or even bother to look back. But if they shout "I am a citizen of the Ming Dynasty", no matter where they come from, businessmen, they will all look at him with respect.
Especially the caravans coming from the west have a kind of heartfelt envy for the people of the Ming Dynasty, thinking that they live in a powerful dynasty and are happy people.
The nation is still the same nation. The difference is that their recognition and belonging to the Ming Dynasty have been confirmed. They will first tell the world that they are the people of the Ming Dynasty first, and the Huihui people secondly.
The attributes of the country are greater than the attributes of the nation. This is the result of the enlightenment of the Ming Dynasty and the result of the influence of the strong Ming Dynasty.
Hu Xi knew that Wala might not be sincere in surrendering to the Ming Dynasty. They would probably take this opportunity to recuperate and accumulate strength, and then wait until the right opportunity comes out to give the Ming Dynasty a blow.
But they only thought about their own arrangements, but did not think about the enlightenment of the Ming Dynasty. They did not expect how severe the division and collapse of the Ming Dynasty were. Mahamu did not know the power of the patriotism of the Ming Dynasty. When Confucius and Mencius appeared in the yurt, The Waraga tribe is still the same tribe, but the one they surrender to is no longer a leader, but the Ming Emperor.
Tribes that lose their leaders will eventually get used to Ming Dynasty's leadership and management. When this habit goes deep into the bone marrow and is passed on to their descendants, they are no longer enemies, but real Ming people.
At dawn, mount your horse and blow your whip to clear the way.
Hu Bi and Zhang Suan took Mahamu and Bald
Luo and Nielie suddenly gathered two hundred people and left the Wala camp.
In order to avoid Qu Neng in the western Xinjiang and Zhu Di from the east launching an attack on Wala, Hu Hui sent sergeants from the envoy team to report separately, and sent the document of surrender of Wala to Jiayuguan in advance.
Suddenly orchid and suddenly lose temperature.
The caravan crossed the vast sea and brought a large amount of food.
In order to support the logistics of the army, the Logistics Bureau mobilized all available forces, including hundreds of thousands of civilians, including caravans.
Although the Tatar War is over, the army is still north of the vast sea and still needs to rely on logistics within the customs. However, due to the large number of seizures, the pressure on logistics is no longer so heavy. Even the team delivering food in the vast sea was delayed for three to five days. There is no need to hurry, so as not to exhaust the people too much on the road and cause excessive losses to the grain transport team.
"Pitch a tent!"
Seeing that it was almost dusk, the caravan manager could only hand over the military rations to the army tomorrow, so he had to order people to set up the tent first.
In the cold winter, people will freeze to death without a tent.
After the shopkeeper made the arrangements, he went into the tent to rest.
In the dead of night, an old farmer quietly sneaked into the shopkeeper's tent. There was a dull sound inside, and then there was no movement. Not long after, the gorgeously dressed "shopkeeper" came out of the tent, holding a wooden box in his hand, and walked straight towards the shopkeeper. Go to the military camp.
"who?"
The camp sergeant shouted to the opponent fifty steps away to stop him.
The shopkeeper lifted the wooden box and shouted: "In the Palace of Prince Yan of Jinling, under the Prince of Gaoyang, Liu Chenggui, the shopkeeper of the Silk Road Shop, led a caravan and brought 30,000 stones of grain to support the military. He came to King Yan specifically to make a business trip and to deliver the goods. Letter from home."
The sergeant came forward to check and saw that it indeed had the pass badge issued by the Logistics Bureau and the wooden box.
Since there were all account books in the room, he was allowed to enter the camp without any obstruction and sent people to inform him.
Zhu Di did not rest. Although the Tatars were gone, there were still some enemies of the Ming Dynasty that had not been resolved.
Such as Wala, such as Uzang!
At present, the army has not yet made up its mind whether to march westward, so they will capture Mahamu and others to hold a bonfire party with Arutai and Benyasili.
There are many difficulties in the current Western Expedition. Logistics is a problem, the cold winter is even more of a problem, and the replenishment of gunpowder has not fully kept up.
The existence of these problems made Ping An, Tan Yuan, Xu Kai and others believe that it was not appropriate to move westward.
However, Xu Huizu, Duan Yun, Zhou Dazhi and others believed that taking advantage of victory to fight was the time when morale was high.
He went to Western Xinjiang again. He didn't need to use a large army. He only needed to send 20,000 cavalry to sweep away the Oara tribe and completely destroy Mahamu's lair.
It is normal to have disputes within the army, but the fact that the court has not made any statement seems a bit abnormal.
What on earth was Zhu Yunwen weighing and considering? He only sent the award document, and did not explicitly mention whether he wanted to be a teacher. Instead, he vaguely said "wait and see."
What to wait and see?
Every day the army spends here means that hundreds of thousands of people have to work.
Tie Xuan walked into the tent and saw Zhu Di staring at the map and looking in the direction of Ximengu. He walked over and said with a smile: "The emperor allows us to wait and see. It's not that the emperor has not made up his mind, but that he is waiting for the opportunity."
Zhu Di asked back: "What time are we waiting for? The time when Mahamu is defeated by Qu Neng, or the time when Mahamu breaks through a certain city in Western Xinjiang and starts killing? With the strength of the cavalry artillery and the number of horses we have now,
With the strength, it is completely possible to mobilize 30,000 or even 40,000 pairs of cavalry to march westward and give Wala a fatal blow! "
"If you wait and see for a long time, the sergeants will be tired. After all, winter has entered, and everyone has made great achievements. Everyone is still looking forward to returning to the army to have a good New Year. Many sergeants are planning to go home for a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, and then If we continue to wait and see, the sergeants will not be able to make it in time for New Year's Eve when they return home, and the morale of the Western Expedition will be lost, which will be of no benefit to either side."
Tie Xuan looked at Zhu Di who was losing his temper and said softly: "As far as I know, in order to cope with the world-famous chess game, the emperor made a strategy of destroying Wu Liangha in the northeast, destroying the main Tatar force in the north, and defending in the northwest. .Priority, the emperor knows clearly in his heart that these arrangements are preceded and interlocked. With Wu Liangha gone, the Tatars can rest assured to move northward. Without the Tatars, the defense posture in the northwest is likely to change. "
"You mean, who is it that the emperor has left a backup force in the northwest? I have not heard that the imperial court has transferred any general to take charge of the northwest."
Zhu Di frowned.
Tie Xuan smiled and said confidently: "Solving Wala may not necessarily rely on force. I heard that Hu Xi went to the northwest."
When Zhu Di heard this name, he immediately shook his head.
It seemed that the reason why his good nephew asked him to wait and see was because he was making preparations. The first step was to prepare for Hu Hui to recruit Wala to surrender. If that failed, he would have to use his own hand to destroy Wala by force.
"Report, Marshal, the King of Gaoyang County sent people to deliver food and family letters, and they are now outside the tent."
The sergeant came in to announce.
Zhu Di frowned. Zhu Gaoxu sent a letter home. What a joke. He was not sleeping in the dungeon of the Security Bureau at this time. Where did the letter come from?
Seeing this, Tie Xuan saluted Zhu Di: "Now
It's a family letter and a family matter, so I won't bother you. "
Zhu Di watched Tie Xuan leave and said in a deep voice: "Let the messenger come in!"
