In fact, it is not outrageous for Junggar to surrender in Kaicheng.
After all, a few years ago, when the Ming army captured the city of Hami, the then Great Khan, Qiqige's father, wanted to negotiate peace with the Ming army.
Only a coup occurred on the day of the meeting. Almost all of Qiqige's family were killed, and her uncle Narisong usurped the position of Great Khan.
It is a pity that Risong was pushed up as a puppet. Because he could not see his own position clearly, he was deposed by the powerful Agula two years ago, and his death was not in vain.
This Agula was supported by the Rakshasa people and had no shortage of guns, artillery and food, so he quickly integrated the Junggar people and continued the war with the Ming army.
But this year , although the coalition forces were powerful, they were defeated again and again, but Agula still had to risk everything to defeat him, which made those who were originally dissatisfied with him even more dissatisfied.
When the Ming army entered the Ili Valley, everyone knew that the overall situation had been decided. Even the Kazakhs and Turkmens had withdrawn. As for the Rakshasa people, they left two days ago.
As a result, those who opposed Agula inevitably came together, and finally launched a coup in the city, killing and arresting Agu La and his followers.
These people in the coup were smart and knew how to capture Agula alive, and they burned a lot of brain cells for this purpose.
Of course, one page cannot record so much. The news is what Jinyiwei summoned from hundreds of households.
In order to convey the news before the Junggar people, the Jinyiwei side also worked hard, but they were only half an hour ahead of schedule.
About half an hour later, the envoy from Yili City arrived, escorting Agula and his party members, a total of more than 70 people.
This day is September 12th, the 16th year of Orthodoxy.
In such a major matter, Zhu Jinghong certainly would not be gullible, but sent people several times to verify.
First of all, is it true that Agula was captured? Secondly, was the surrender of the Junggars a false surrender? Thirdly, where did the Rakshasa army go?
About three days later, as the news came back and was verified several times, Zhu Jinghong believed that Yili had opened its door to him.
The remaining more than 30,000 troops of Rakshasa and other countries have retreated five hundred miles away with their crown prince Constantine.
More than 20,000 troops from Junggar also withdrew from Ili at Zhu Jinghong’s request and were all disarmed.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Jinghong sent an advance force of about two thousand people to Ili and completely controlled the city.
The 20,000 surrendered troops of Junggar were fined by Zhu Jinghong for three years of hard labor. They will be responsible for opening roads between mountain passes and river valleys to make the supply of the Ming army smoother in the future.
This matter required construction work, and Zhu Jinghong handed over the errand to Anxi Xingdusi.
On September 19, Zhu Jinghong convened a military meeting and determined all the agenda for surrender.
The most critical part is to ask each guard to dispatch two hundred people, and then enter the Yili City in formation.
Ili CityAlthough it was large, it could not accommodate Zhu Jinghong's 70,000-strong army.
The reason why it was 70,000 was because there were troops stationed in the cities captured along the way and at important nodes, so only 70,000 entered the Ili Valley.
Of course, in order to ensure the sharing of honors, troops from each guard were mobilized, so the 70,000 men came from many sources.
There are more than 30 guards from the Qinjun, Jingying, Anxi Xingdusi, Qinghai Xingdusi, Mongolia, Tibet, Jurchen, foot and cavalry combined.
In other words, there were about thirty phalanxes participating in the city entry ceremony.
On September 20th, the phalanx of each department was selected and moved towards Ili.
On the afternoon of September 22, the main force of the Ming army came to the east of Yili City, and then garrisoned separately according to the plan.
The selected phalanx, totaling more than 6,500 people, found a separate place to station themselves.
The battle was over, and the soldiers were all very relaxed and began to prepare themselves after setting up camp.
According to Zhu Jinghong’s words, they represent the face of Ming Dynasty, and tomorrow is a good day to enter the city, so they naturally have to show their most glorious side.
On the banks of the Ili River, soldiers were boiling water for bathing, some were polishing their armor, and some were combing their beards.
In a secluded place by the river, Qiqige and Nuomin were taking a walk, followed by a dozen maids.
Ili is right in front of us. This is not only the hometown that Qiqige dreams about, but also the place that makes her extremely sad.
It is precisely because it is profound that she must follow her, even if she is pregnant now.
She knew that if she couldn't go back to Yili this time, she would never be able to come back to Beijing after returning to Beijing with Zhu Jinghong.
Of course, she came back not just to remember, but to take revenge.
There are too many people who should die in her heart instead of continuing to live in this world.
Nuo Min followed and looked at Qiqige with a very worried look. She was afraid that her cousin would be angry and hurt the fetus.
Although Qiqige has good physical fitness, she may still need to be careful.
"I heard that most of those people back then have been captured... and they will be escorted back to Beijing after the new year. Then my sister will be able to avenge her!" Nuo Min said in a light tone, trying to make the atmosphere more lively.
Qiqige said calmly: "There are still people hiding in Yili City. We have to find them out!"
"But... they have surrendered!" Nuomin reminded.
Turn around, Qiqige said: "I understand what you mean...I'm afraid that I will offend the prince if I go my own way!"
Touching her slightly bulging belly, Qiqige said Qi Ge smiled and said: "Don't worry... I'm not that stupid. Did you know that the Han people have a word called pillow style?"
Nuo Min understood immediately, so after thinking about it, she asked Said: "Do you need my help?"
"No need...don't get involved!"
The two sistersWhile people chatted, Zhu Jinghong led his guards to inspect various military camps.
After this great victory, he became more and more cautious, because crisis might strike at this time.
He did not choose to enter the city, but waited for the troops stationed in the city to conduct a careful screening to ensure the absolute safety of tomorrow's entry ceremony.
For this reason, the army stationed in Ili has been increased to eight thousand.
Zhu Jinghong is busy, and the soldiers are busy.
The nobles of Junggar, big and small, are also busy recruiting herdsmen and people to come to Ili to witness the grand scene of the Japanese army entering the city.
This was of course arranged by Zhu Jinghong. The main purpose of his holding such a large city entry ceremony was to demonstrate the military power and let the Junggar people witness the power of the army. There will no longer be any in recent decades or even a hundred years. Rebellious heart.
In order to help Zhu Jinghong achieve his goal, these Junggar nobles racked their brains and drove as many people as possible to mobilize.
In the afternoon, when the sun was setting in the west, Zhu Jinghong had a dinner with everyone and finalized the details of tomorrow's entrance ceremony.
"You mean...the south gate of Yili is called the Arc de Triomphe?" Zhu Jinghong was quite surprised.
He is exposed to too many reports every day, so it is easy to miss some information that he may care about.
For example, this "Arch de Triomphe" caught Zhu Jinghong's heartstrings, and he wanted to enter through the south gate.
"It is said that it was changed by Alabutan when he raised his troops. The original intention was to refer to the south of our dynasty as the main entrance, so that the rebels can triumph at the main entrance in the future!"
"It is a pity that Alabutan Before the war was over, he died under the sword of his own people!"
The "Arabtan" the general mentioned was Qiqige's biological father.
After the man finished explaining, Zhu Jinghong ordered: "Since the south gate is called the Arc de Triomphe, when we enter the city tomorrow... we will change from the east gate to the south gate!"
"Everyone Do you have any objections?"
This is indeed a good meaning, although it is a little troublesome, and no one raised any objections.
Wiping his hands with a handkerchief, Zhu Jinghong said: "Okay... the matter is settled!"
"Have a good rest at night and be energetic tomorrow... Such a grand occasion, such an honor, only happens once in a lifetime!"
Seeing Zhu Jinghong stand up, everyone present stood up and responded with a smile.
After Zhu Jinghong's position, everyone ate hastily and returned to the military camp.
As for Zhu Jinghong, after he returned to the camp, Qi Qige and Nuo Min greeted him.
"It's cold. It's a good time to rest. You don't have to come over here!" Zhu Jinghong said to Qiqi.
"Serving the prince in his daily life is my duty as a concubine. How dare you neglect it!" Qiqi Ge replied.
"What's more, His Highness marched through Ili and helped me to avenge my father's revenge... I am extremely grateful. I can't repay such a great kindness, so I can only serve the prince with all my heart!"
"Go in and talk.Well, it’s cold outside! "
"Yes! ”
Everyone entered the tent, and then waited for Zhu Jinghong to go to bed. They didn’t say anything except small talk during the whole process.
In a blink of an eye, it was the next day, and the sun came from a distance. When the snow-capped mountains rose, a large number of people had gathered outside Yili City.
The crowds were mainly distributed outside the city, with a total of over 100,000 people inside and outside the city.
< p>Outside the south gate of Yili City, a thirty-foot-wide road has been opened, and all the horses have been placed to prevent collisions. At the same time, soldiers from the Beijing camp are guarding the road.The people who visited were guarded. Excluded further, almost twenty feet away from the middle road.
At this moment, almost a mile away, the army phalanx participating in the city entry ceremony had already had breakfast, put on bright armor, and held hands. The weapons were assembled and lined up.
As for Zhu Jinghong, accompanied by a group of senior generals, he arrived at the Arc de Triomphe on the south side of Yili City.
He did not wear civilian clothes today. He is wearing a red round-necked dragon robe that represents the prince's identity, and a black gauze winged crown on his head.
"Is it time?" "Zhu Jinghong asked.
On his left, Geng Zonggui, the chief soldier of Fenwu Camp, replied: "Your Highness, the time has just come! "
At this time, another general soldier replied: "Look, Your Highness, it is already moving! "
Holding the telescope, Zhu Jinghong looked into the distance. Sure enough, the army was already moving. It was obvious that the team had begun to march.
Putting away the telescope, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "It's over in a moment. Let's go to the officialdom in the center of the city to take a look at the big Buddha statue, and then go to the palace to take a look! "
"Yes! ”
Today’s arrangement is relatively relaxed, that is, Zhu Jinghong and the generals will visit. After all, this place is the capital of a country, and there are always places where you can open your eyes.
At this moment, those who are following Zhu Jinghong Senior generals include Wang Ziteng, the commander-in-chief of the Anxi Province, and Yang Longshan, the commander-in-chief of the Qinghai Province.
These two have been stuck in the mud of the northwest for several years. According to Zhu Jinghong's estimation, they should be promoted to governors. Tongzhi can also be said to be the end of all hardships.
As for the others, they are Geng Zonggui, the chief soldier of Fenwu Camp, Ding Guanglu, the chief soldier of Xiaoyong Camp, and Shi Qian (father of Shi Chong), the chief soldier of Yangwei Camp. .
The five people mentioned above all hold military positions as governors, and they can definitely be regarded as senior generals.
As for the two governors, Shi Guangzhu and Liu Fang, Because it was too difficult to climb the ice and snow, Zhu Jinghong asked these two veterans to stay behind, one in Urumqi and the other in Jinghe.
As for the other deputy generals, they all commanded Tongzhi Qianshi and others. The lower commanders, Tongzhi Qianshi, and the generals of the Mongolian Jurchen and Tibetans were all waiting on horseback outside the Arc de Triomphe, waiting for the army formation to come over and inspect them in person.
These generals, one by one. They all wore bright smiles and chatted with colleagues on the left and right. The atmosphere was much more relaxed than at the Arc de Triomphe.
About a few minutes later, the leading troops appeared in the distance. They were the Jinwu left guards under Shi Chong. They all deserved the first credit in putting down the rebellion.
"General Shi, you have given birth to a good son!" On the tower, Zhu Jinghong looked back at Shi Qian.
Everyone looked at Shi Qian with envy at this moment.
Shi Qian was extremely humble at this moment. He bent down slightly and replied: "If His Highness hadn't favored you, there would have been a chance for him to make contributions!"
Zhu Jinghong didn't say much about this. , but held on to the railing and looked towards the city.
The Jinwu left guard phalanx, a total of 200 people led by two deputy Qianhu, walked solemnly with neat steps.
Their steps are sonorous and powerful, their weapons and equipment are beyond the times, and their morale and morale are like unsheathed swords...
This is a strong army that cannot be defeated. An army... The common people watching all had this idea invariably.
Many of them had seen the army and the elites of the Rakshasa people, and the latter shocked them at the time.
But now, the Ming army's momentum and weapons and equipment are stronger than those of the Rakshasa people, so it is normal for these people to change their minds.
The Rakshasa people were unjustly defeated, and even the coalition forces of the eight kingdoms were defeated. Who can defeat the Ming army, and who dares to disrespect the Ming Emperor who is thousands of miles away.
The phalanx continued to move forward. When it was still fifty meters away from the city gate, as the leader of the team, Deputy Qianhu, gave the command, the phalanx changed from a starting point to a forward march.
In the quiet wilderness outside the city, there was only the sound of the Ming army's military boots and the sound of mechanical movement, followed by the neat and high-pitched shouts.
"Long live the Emperor, His Majesty!"
It is now a hard rule to shout Long Live the Emperor during the military parade. At the same time, the generals on the roadside also waved to the marching direction. The formation signaled.
Of course, Zhu Jinghong also took the initiative to wave to this army with the greatest military merit.
After Jinwu's left guard, there were Hu Ben's right guard, and then Wu Xiang's left guard, Wu Ding's right guard...
One army after another marched into the city, It shocked hundreds of thousands of people along the way. Many people will never forget this scene today.
After a dozen infantry phalanxes passed through in front, the cavalry phalanxes passed one after another. All the cavalrymen held their heads high, with confident and powerful smiles on their faces.
"Wonderful victory...Wonderful victory!" The cavalryman drew his saber and shouted.
A military parade entering the city lasted for nearly twenty minutes. The Ming army's morale was high during the whole process, but only the Junggar people were silent.
Zhu Jinghong saw these things and made him feel more and more comfortable, which showed that the shock effect was effective.
Turn around, Zhu Jinghong looked at the people behind him and said with a smile: "Everyone, let's go... Let's go to the center of the city first. It is said that this is the place where Junggar worships heaven and earth!"
"Your Highness, please!" Everyone gave way..
So Zhu Jinghong walked down the tower. At this moment
The carriage was wrapped with iron sheets, which had excellent bulletproof effect. Zhu Jinghong did not dare to wander in this place.
In the city, both sides of the road he passed had been cleared by soldiers under martial law, and the road was unobstructed. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
