Chapter 165 Recovering Hami

At the same time that the Western Front began operations, all troops on the Eastern Front were also in place.

Since the capture of Guihua City, the remaining Tumut tribes have moved eastward one after another. Most of them have taken refuge with Lin Dan Khan, and some have gone to Mobei to join the Khalkha tribe.

The mission of the Eastern Front this time, in addition to continuing to sweep the grasslands and capture prisoners, is to continue to move the defense line forward, restore the Yunchuan Guard, Zhenlu Guard, Yulin Guard, and Xuande Guard, and advance the defense line to the Datong line.

Also in mid-June, Boren led his troops to Xuandewei and began to rebuild Xuandewei.

On the fifth day after Boren led his troops to Xuandewei, Lin Danhan in the capital Chahanhot received news that the Ming army was dispatched.

Lin Dan Khan, who had always wanted to restore Genghis Khan's hegemony, naturally could not tolerate the actions of the Ming army.

However, since the founding of the country by Ye Bo Pi, although they have not conquered Shenyang and Liaoyang like in the previous life, Ye Bo Pi has been winning over the Horqin tribe by relying on the power of victory in Saarhu.

As Boarskin was still unable to be conquered, Tieling and Kaiyuan had no choice but to turn their troops to North Korea. After forcing the imperial court to surrender, they set their sights on the Mongolian tribes in the Monan Grassland.

First, they entered into a marriage alliance with the Horqin tribe. At this time, the Horqin tribe had semi-openly surrendered to the wild boar skin, which greatly threatened Lin Dan Khan's Chahar tribe.

After learning that the Ming army had begun to rebuild the Xuande Guard, Lin Danhan was determined to organize a large army to stop the Ming army. He was also worried that Ye Zhupi would take this opportunity to completely conquer the Horqin tribe and then attack his Chahar tribe.

After thinking about it for two days, Lin Danhan felt that it would be best to let the Ming army rebuild Xuandewei. After all, Xuandewei was still more than a thousand miles away from him, and Boarskin was already close at hand.

After moving all the tribes near Xuandewei to the east of Daqing Mountain, they sent envoys to question the Ming court and threatened to withhold the border if the Ming court did not withdraw its troops.

On the one hand, he sent a letter to the Mobei Khalkha tribe, promising to recognize their rule over Guihua City and hoping that they would send troops to fight against the Ming army.

After Boren learned that Lin Dan Khan had not dispatched, he left two cavalry brigades and one infantry brigade to sweep the surrounding area. He returned to Guihua City with three cavalry brigades.

After resting for five days, they began to march towards the Mobei Grassland to attack the Khalkha tribe occupying the Mobei Grassland.

Boren has always believed that the best defense is offense. Lin Dan Khan, on the other hand, did not want Jiannu to take advantage and took advantage of the war between the two sides to annex other tribes.

Since Lin Dan Khan could not be defeated, he had always wanted to imitate his ancestors and set the target on the Khalkha tribe.

In late June, Boren led three cavalry brigades into the Mobei grassland and swept all the way. After capturing nearly 10,000 Tatars and seizing countless cattle, sheep, and horses, he returned to Guihua City.

After resting for another five days, he sent troops to Mobei again, penetrated 500 miles into the Mobei grassland, captured 6,000 prisoners, and returned to Guihua City.

The two attacks made the various Khalkha tribes in panic, and they had no choice but to gather their troops and prepare to intercept the Ming army's attack.

After returning to Guihua City, Boren did not attack here. He attacked twice in one direction. The Tatars must have been prepared.

Mobei is so big, Boren changed directions and led the cavalry brigade to Jiuyuan City. From Jiuyuan City, he entered the Mobei grassland and continued to raid the Tatar tribe. After capturing tens of thousands of Tatar prisoners, he returned to Jiuyuan. city.

After the Khalkha tribe's men and horses were evacuated, facing a contact line that was thousands of miles away, they had no choice but to shrink the tribe's men and horses and move towards the fishing sea.

Whether it is a plateau or a grassland, the population is originally small. Under the continuous raids by the legislative army, a large number of no-man's land soon appeared, so that bison herds appeared on the grassland.

In July, after accumulating enough supplies, Liangchen led his troops to occupy Dunhuang, also known as Shazhouwei.

At this time, the Turpan Khanate also reacted. The Ming army wanted to conquer the Hami guards. Due to the Ming army's combat power and the domestic chaos, it abandoned Hami after relocating the various ethnic groups in the Hami area.

After learning that the enemy had abandoned Hami, the good ministers did not rush to march, but continued to sweep the surrounding area. Only after turning the surrounding 500 miles into no man's land did they send troops to occupy Hami.

Then the city was rebuilt in Hami, and supplies were continuously transported to Hami to prepare for the next battle.

He also announced to the ministries in the Western Regions that the Ming Dynasty had recovered Hami, required all ethnic groups to pay tribute to cattle and sheep, and established a mutual market in Hamiwei for all ethnic groups to trade, in order to divide the power of the Turpan Khanate.

For a time, all ethnic groups in the Western Regions sent people to Hami to trade with Ming Dynasty merchants. Of course, these merchants were the same people from Ma Shi in Qingjian County. Soon the Hami Guard became prosperous.

Abdullatif Khan of the Yarkand Khanate used the Ming Dynasty to regain Hami and threatened the Turpan area. He led 20,000 troops into Turpan and reunified the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Facing Hami occupied by the Ming army, Abdullatif Khan decided to blockade Hami and cut off the Ming army's supplies, intending to trap the Ming army.

However, after this period of trade, the people of the Investigation Department had bribed the nobles of the original Turpan Khanate. They were dissatisfied with the annexation of the Yarkand Khanate and leaked Abdullatif Khan's battle plan.

After obtaining the information, the good minister pretended that supplies were insufficient and withdrew from Hami. After Abdullatif Khan's 20,000-strong army occupied Hami, he launched a night attack and surrounded and annihilated Abdullatif Khan's 20,000-strong army in Hami.

Abdullatif Khan himself was also killed in the rebellion. After wiping out the Yarkand Khanate's army, he sent troops to attack Turpan and returned to Hami after capturing a large number of enemy troops.

In the days that followed, the good ministers continued to send troops to attack the Mughal tribes, but turned a blind eye to the soldiers and civilians of other ethnic groups, and even invited them to Hami for trading.

The Moguls, who were originally the rulers, became the rats that everyone shouted to beat. After losing 20,000 main troops, the Moguls' rule over the Western Regions was completely shaken.

At this time, the Oara tribe north of the Tianshan Mountains took the opportunity to move south, intending to replace the rule of the Mughals. In fact, they were all Mongols, but they believed in different religions.

The famous Ge Erdan in his previous life came from the Junggar tribe of the Oara tribe.

At this time, the Wara Tribe was also called the Oirat Alliance, and was internally divided into four tribes: the Heshuote Tribe, the Torghut Tribe, the Junggar Tribe, and the Durbot Tribe. The four tribes were allied with each other. Today, the most powerful Heshuote Tribe is the leader.

.

After the Eastern Chagatai Khanate could no longer threaten Hami, the good ministers returned to Jiayuguan in order to obtain more prisoners and make up for the human losses caused by the construction of the railway.

They began to send troops deep into the plateau areas and launched a devastating plunder of the population centers on the plateau.

No matter what ethnic group they belong to, as long as they are not Han, they will be arrested and taken away, and then their houses will be burned down, and their cattle and sheep will be used as military rations.

As it continued to deepen, the cavalry of the Legislative Army even reached Qamdo and plundered the place.
