I saw an army stationed outside the large city in the distance. It seemed that they were besieging the city. Although there was no sign of an attack, judging from Jimuda's experience, it was indeed a siege situation.
What exactly is going on?
Jimuda was a little confused, because the army that besieged the city was very large. According to his experience, it must have been at least more than 100,000 troops.
The most important thing is that, logically speaking, if Delhi is surrounded and wants to attack Delhi, generally speaking, it should be the Ming army. However, the uniforms of the besieging army in the distance were not red. In other words, although there seems to be red, the red is just an embellishment and only accounts for a small part. This means that it cannot be the Ming army!
Yes, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to have that many troops. His Highness made this very clear. It was because His Highness was worried that the Ming Emperor's troops were too few that he repeatedly told himself to do a good job as a sentinel.
He was thinking about it when suddenly he heard someone from his companions yelling in fear: "Who?"
Hearing this, Jimuda immediately came back to his senses. When he heard the sound, he saw a group of cavalry emerging from the surrounding woods. They were either holding muskets or pulling bows, aiming at them. They gathered around.
At this moment, Jimuda couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. I only focused on looking at the situation in Delhi, but ignored the surrounding areas. This was terrible!
But one thing is strange. Although they are wearing Mughal clothes, why does one of them feel familiar?
When he was thinking this, his subordinates had already shrunk around him in a defensive state. But even so, because the opportunity has been lost, if we take action, there will definitely be heavy casualties.
Suddenly, the person opposite, the one Jimuda felt a little familiar with, asked with a slightly uncertain tone: "Are you Jimuda? Jimuda from the Heshuo Special Department?"
Upon hearing this, speaking the same language, and also naming Jimuda from the Heshuo Special Department, Jimuda couldn't help but be very surprised. He stared at the person and asked with the same uncertainty: "Are you ...Are you Sasim? Are you Sasim?"
When the man heard this, he burst out laughing, and then said to his companions: "Put down your weapons, we are our own!"
After he finished speaking, he put away his bow and arrows, casually inserted them into his quiver, then walked towards Jimuda with a big smile and said, "I never thought we would meet again!"
At this time, Jimuda had also made up his mind and was also extremely surprised. While asking his companions to put down their weapons, he also strode over and gave a bear hug to the Sashim opposite.
Their companions all put down their weapons as instructed. Seeing that their heads looked very familiar to each other, they all breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they also looked at the two of them with curiosity.
After hugging each other for a while, they finally separated. Jimuda looked Sasim up and down, and then asked a little doubtfully: "Why are you here? I remember that when I went to war with Gushi Khan, you didn't stay in the tribe. What?"
Yes, both of them were members of the Heshuo Special Department, but Jimuda followed Gushi Khan on his expedition to Qinghai and stayed in Tibet ever since. Originally, both of them thought that they would never have the chance to meet again in this life. Calculating the time, many years have passed. When they met unexpectedly, they almost didn't recognize him for a moment.
After hearing this, Sasim couldn't help but smile and said: "If I had stayed in the tribe, you would have gone out with Gushi Khan, and now I will go out with your majesty! By the way, you can call me Zhu Zhongming from now on, and I will get my own Chinese name." "
"..." After hearing this, Jimuda couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses. He was still attracted by an important message in Zhu Zhongming's words, and immediately confirmed in surprise, "You said... shouldn't you say Is the army that besieged the city the army led by the Ming Emperor?"
"Haha!" After hearing this, Zhu Zhongming immediately smiled and said, "Otherwise, what do you think?"
After receiving the confirmation, Jimuda couldn't help but be overjoyed, but at the same time, he was also very curious. He turned his head to look at the situation in the distance, then turned back to Zhu Zhongming and said, "It's not that the Ming Emperor led very few troops. Huh? But it looks like it’s at least over 100,000!"
After hearing this, Zhu Zhongming took a step forward and stood side by side with him. Then he pointed at Delhi in the distance and said with a smile: "Of course, when your Majesty set out from Luntai, he only brought a total of 20,000 cavalry. That’s all. But he was invincible in the northwestern Mughal region, captured many cities, and finally defeated an army of more than 100,000 led by the second prince of the Mughal Empire..."
At this point, he pouted and explained: "Did you see that the infantry there were all led by the Mughal prince. They were all captured and have now become ours."
"..." After hearing what he said, not only Jimuda, but also his companions were all stunned.
Just 20,000 cavalry troops, invincible in the Mughal Empire? He also defeated more than 100,000 elite soldiers led by Shashuja, and even turned the enemy's infantry into his own. How on earth was this done?
You know, they have fought against Shashuja's army before, and they know that it is no ordinary army. Moreover, Shashuja has only been away for a long time after leading the army. Is this the end? No matter from every aspect, it is shocking!
"Which...which one of you, no, how many men and horses did we lose?" Jimuda came back to his senses and asked quickly, "It seems that there are not many people wearing red military uniforms, is the loss a bit heavy?"
Even if the Ming Emperor was able to fight again, he would have to fight all the way to Delhi, and the losses would definitely be considerable.
When Zhu Zhongming heard this, he immediately laughed, and then said with a smile: "If there is any loss, it can be ignored! The reason why you didn't see it is because the cavalry are the elite of our headquarters. This kind of siege harasses the defenders." How can you personally do the enemy's things while resting in the camp!"
At this point, before Jimuda could speak, he proudly added: "You will never imagine how powerful His Majesty is. If I lose a lot in the war, can it be a war commanded by His Majesty?"
Hearing this, Jimuda immediately remembered what Dalantai said about the Ming envoy's piety towards the Ming Emperor. But at this moment, he suddenly realized that it was the Ming Emperor who really had that ability!
While he was still in a daze, Zhu Zhongming spoke again: "How are you doing? I thought that the main force was attracted to us. You should have arrived in Delhi before us. Where are you now?"
Hearing this, Jimuda came back to his senses and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and said quickly: "It's probably about one hundred and fifty miles away from Delhi. His Highness the Third Prince was worried and asked me to personally take the sentry to explore the distance. Some, and here I am.”
Hearing this, Zhu Zhongming couldn't help laughing and said: "It turns out that what the emperor told you is right. Sure enough, the army led by His Highness the Third Prince will come. The emperor sent us here to wait for you. All this is under the control of the emperor." Hit!"
Hearing this, Jimuda was already a little numb with shock. No matter what shocking things came out of Jimuda's mouth, he was no longer distracted.
After thinking for a moment, he clenched his fist and punched Zhu Zhongming, then asked with concern: "How is the situation of the tribe after leaving the tribe for so many years? By the way, why did you change your name to a Chinese name?"
It is undeniable that although Jimuda has left the Heshuote Department with Gushi Khan, he was born and raised there anyway, so of course he is missed very much.
When Zhu Zhongming heard this, he showed a happy smile and said: "The tribe is all very good. We have met a good emperor! Now we are living a good life."
At this point, he remembered that Jimuda had another question, so he answered again: "You don't know, when the Jungar tribe attacked our tribe, I refused to surrender even if I died. I thought I would not survive. But I didn't expect that His Majesty would lead the army. Divine soldiers descended from the sky and blocked the Jungar tribe in the Tianshan Mountains. At that time, I thought that after finally blocking the Jungar tribe, Your Majesty would definitely take the opportunity to eliminate the Jungar tribe, but I didn’t expect..."
Although Jimuda already knew about this matter, at this time, when he heard his familiar companion and the person involved talk about that past event, he couldn't help but be shocked, and at the same time, he was also very moved. Unexpectedly, a Han emperor could let go of the Jungar tribe who had finally been captured for the sake of people from their tribe. In the end, he personally led the army and hunted until the Jungar tribe was exterminated!
Listening to Zhu Zhongming describing the life on the other side of Tianshan Mountain again, he heard that the tribes in the past no longer had to worry about their herds going hungry due to accidents, because there was already a combination of grazing and planting, so they would definitely not be hungry; Children can read and learn for free and gain knowledge. Listen...
Listening to all this, Jimuda couldn't help but lost his mind again.
Suddenly, his shoulder was patted by Zhu Zhongming, and he came back to his senses. He saw Zhu Zhongming saying to him with a grateful face: "You said, Ming Dynasty was so good to us herders, I changed this name myself." ,OK?"
Zhu Zhongming, loyal to the Ming Dynasty, this shows his true feelings! Such a Ming Dynasty is indeed worthy of loyalty.
Thinking of this, Jimuda couldn't help but nodded with envy and said: "Good change, good change!"
"That's right!" Zhu Zhongming responded proudly, "I tell you, those who changed their Chinese names like me are not only our former Heshuote tribe, but also other tribes such as Durbot and Turgut. In this way, as far as I know, there are hundreds of people with the name Zhongming alone. Haha, those shameless people all have the same name as me..."
It sounded like he was cursing, but he didn't mean to curse at all. In Jimuda's mind, the scene he imagined had already appeared: someone called Zhongming, and a group of people responded...
