Chapter 159
Chapter 0159 Lao Jiu, we heard that you have an immortal and immortal army?!
As Zhu Yuanzhang expected, Zhu Li's attack on the mind has greatly reduced the effect that can be played in the royal city of Eastern Chagatai, after all, those who can still insist on staying here and surround the royal capital are also the absolute henchmen of the royal family!
Others, whether powerful or ordinary people, had all fled before the army besieged the city!
And the Black Fire Man did not stop these people, especially the common people who originally lived in this city!
He was not crazy enough to let all the people of Alimari give him a burial!
In this way, five days in a row, the Hanzhong army almost every morning, noon and evening three times to persuade to surrender, although the defenders of the western city defending the city will still show fear in the face of the Hanzhong army, but there are not many people who want to surrender, and those who are not strong-minded will also be directly beheaded in public by the generals defending the city, and other soldiers dare not have the mind to surrender!
And these five days are undoubtedly the most torturous five days in the entire Alimali City!
Especially the black firers and the royal family members, all of them have very ugly faces!
Death is not terrible, what is terrible is waiting for death to come, it is better to come directly!
The Hanzhong army besieged and did not attack, which is equivalent to a kind of psychological torture in disguise, which shows the huge pressure that everyone has endured in the past five days!
Above the throne, the black firer's whole person seemed to be in his twenties, and in just a few days, the original black hair was actually all white!
When he was still in the prime of life, his former spirit had long been gone, but he was like an old man, and he was already alone!
"Great Khan, or else we would have surrendered to the Ming army, right? Maybe there is still a way to live! "
One of the royal daughters couldn't stand the suppressed fear in her heart, so she begged to the black firer!
When the originally gloomy black fireman heard this, his eyes suddenly sharpened.
Immediately afterwards, an arrow directly penetrated the body of this harem concubine!
The concubine's eyes widened, looking at the black firer on the throne in disbelief, and finally her body softened, and she fell directly in a pool of blood!
The sudden change also frightened everyone present!
Just when the scene was a little out of control, the escort team suddenly appeared and guarded the entrances and exits of the palace, and the machetes and arrows in their hands were already aimed at all the royal family members at the scene!
"Whoever dares to mention the word surrender again, no matter who it is, she will be the end!"
The black firer pointed to the concubine he loved the most in the past, and warned coldly with an expressionless face.
For a while, everyone was silent, and the eyes of the black fireman were full of fear!
"Report! Khan, the Ming army seems to have put up a position and wants to attack the city! "
At this moment, a city defender led him into the hall and reported to the black fireman.
"Huh... After waiting for so many days, finally can't bear it? "
When the black fireman heard this, he sneered.
With these words, all the royal family members in the palace immediately panicked, and their faces were as pale as paper!
The Ming army is about to attack the city, which means that their days are also over!
"Go and hold the royal city! When the city is broken, it is all over! "
The black firer waved his hand at the general and slowly gave the order.
These royal members in the palace did not know that at this time, the entire palace had been poured with fire oil!
The Black Fire Master is ready to burn jade, not only himself, but all members of the royal family will be buried in the fire with this palace!
At the moment when the city was broken, it was all over!
He will not leave a single member of the royal family to the Ming Army, nor will he leave even a single golden bean to the Ming Army!
This is the last stubbornness of his black firer!
Outside Alimali City, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li came to the front of the army.
Right next to them, there were eighteen Shenwu cannons that had just been delivered neatly arranged, and at this moment, the black cannon barrels had been aimed at the gate of Ali Mari's city, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's order!
"Old Nine, why do we have an unreal feeling now?"
Looking at the wall of the Eastern Chagatai royal capital in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, he also thought about taking back the Western Regions, but he was not strong enough!
But he didn't expect that this moment would come so quickly, and so suddenly, naturally making him feel like he was still in a dream!
If there is no Lao Jiu, can the Western Regions fight down?
Maybe it can, but it can't be so easy, and it's basically equivalent to exhausting national strength to fight!
But now this battle does not need the participation of the imperial court at all, just the Hanzhong army under Lao Jiu has been done, and from equipment and weapons to food and grass supply, all from Hanzhong, there is no need for the imperial court to spend a penny more!
Is this any difference between this and what is picked up for nothing by the Daming court?
"Father can be relieved, during the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Western Regions were the territory of the Han people, and now when they come to Daming, not only the Western Regions, but even the land of Mobei and South Vietnam will also return to Daming in the future!"
"Regaining the Western Regions, this is just the first step!"
Zhu Li smiled disapprovingly.
"We believe what you say, but we also took advantage of you!"
"Being able to recover the Western Regions so easily and open up territory for the Daming Dynasty, you and your Hanzhong army have made great achievements, we just picked up a ready-made achievement!"
"You will also come to our position in the future, don't blame us for robbing the merits that originally belonged to you!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he was somewhat weak-hearted, which was equivalent to giving Zhu Li a preventive injection in advance!
The main thing is the Daming Emperor ranking, he is the founding emperor of the Daming Dynasty, he actually only ranked fourth, and his old face really can't hang up!
How can you take advantage of Lao Jiu, and directly enter the top three or even second!
As for the first, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that he must be an old enemy!
Zhu Li is still young, his life span is even longer, and the future world will be his sooner or later, and this alone, Zhu Yuanzhang will never be able to catch up!
Father said and smiled. You are the commander of the imperial conquest and the recovery of the Western Regions, and the sons and daughters are just giving you a hand! "
When Zhu Li heard this, he naturally held the old man high!
With this merit at the moment, he really doesn't have to compete with the old man for anything!
"Your Majesty, Your Highness King Han, the Shenwu cannon is ready, please also order the siege of the city!"
At this moment, Geng Qing came to the side of the father and son and said respectfully
"Father, come on!"
Zhu Li directly handed over the beginning of this most crucial battle to Zhu Yuanzhang!
"Siege!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was also not polite, and nodded directly to Geng Qing.
"Your Majesty has a purpose, siege the city!"
Geng Qing turned around and shouted at General Hanzhong.
As the Ling Qi in Lan Yu's hand waved, eighteen artillery guns fired a volley, and under the tongue of fire, one shell after another blasted straight towards the wall of Ali Mari City!
Boom!!
With the deafening sound of explosions, the originally seemingly solid city wall collapsed like tofu blocks at this moment!
For a time, Alimali's defenders were blown off by falling shells, and many people were directly hit or even buried by stones and earth and rocks!
"Kill!"
"Rush!"
As the shouts of Qin Wu and the others sounded, the Hanzhong army once again divided into three ways and launched the first round of charging towards Alimali!
The scene that just happened in Luntai City more than ten days ago was played out again in Alimari!
But this time, the speed of the Hanzhong army capturing Alimali was much faster than capturing Luntai City!
Not long after the Hanzhong army entered the city, the war basically stopped!
With the soaring fire of the central palace of Alimali City, all the defenders also laid down their weapons and surrendered!
Zhu Li and Zhu Yuanzhang, who were outside the city, also saw the fire and smoke rising into the sky in the city, and the faces of both father and son showed a hint of surprise!
"I didn't expect that this king of Eastern Chagatai was so tough, he would rather set himself on fire than surrender, but he is also a man! Much more backbone than that cowardly Marudin! "
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew what the fire represented, and at the same time let out a sigh!
By the time Zhu Li's father and son arrived at the gate of the palace, the entire palace was already submerged in a sea of fire, and the fire was already uncontrollable!
"It's blind to so many gold and silver jewels in this palace!"
Zhu Li sighed with some pity.
You must know that when the Hami Kingdom was defeated, a lot of gold and silver jewelry was also stolen from the Hami royal family, and the wealth of the Eastern Chagatai royal family must not be comparable to that of a small Hami Kingdom!
To say that it is not distressed must be fake!
However, the Black Fire Man was obviously ready to burn everything down in the morning, and now it is impossible to stop it!
This fire burned for a day and a night before it gradually subsided, and the entire Eastern Chagatai Palace was already in ruins!
At the same time, Ali Mari was captured by the Hanzhong army, and the news that the black firer had self-immolated in the palace with a group of royal family members was also transmitted as quickly as possible!
For a time, the entire Western Regions shook!
Even though everyone had foreseen that this battle would be destroyed, they did not expect that the whole process would be so rapid, and it was really a mountain of defeat!
Within three days, the remaining tribes in the Western Regions that had not yet returned to Daming had also sent envoys to Alimali to beg!
The Eastern Chagatai has been destroyed, and there are only two options waiting for these Western Region tribes!
Either leave this land where they have lived for generations, or they can only return to the Daming Dynasty!
As for resistance, isn't that a joke?
The Hanzhong army attacked the city all the way, as if entering no man's land, a month's effort has already killed the two strongest cities in the Western Regions, who dares to face the Hanzhong army hard?
At this point, the Western Regions were initially decided, and Zhu Yuanzhang announced to the world in Alimali City, and from now on, the Western Regions will be owned by Daming, and it can be regarded as officially declaring the sovereignty of this land!
On October 28, the 26th year of Daming Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li received the tribal leaders of the Western Regions who had returned to Daming in Alimali.
These tribes of the Western Regions are afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li's father and son will repent, and take back those policies that were originally announced!
Fortunately, this situation did not happen, but Zhu Li gave them another reassuring pill!
"Summoning the leaders of the tribes here today, King Ben has a development plan and wants to discuss it with everyone!"
Just when all the tribal leaders were worried, Zhu Li smiled and spoke.
"I wonder what His Royal Highness King Han ordered?"
Someone dared to ask.
"Naturally, I took you to make money together!"
"Benwang intends to build a warehousing and logistics center in Luntai City!"
"From now on, goods from Hanzhong and Xi'an will transit here."
"If you still want to do business with King Ben in the future, you don't have to travel thousands of miles to Hanzhong, and you can buy all the goods of Hanzhong and Xi'an Prefecture in Luntai!"
"Of course, Benwang will also choose the right place in the Western Regions at the right time to continue to develop business, and will also directly build a factory here."
"If you are interested, you can also participate!"
Zhu Li explained straight to the point.
Isn't the purpose of the Silk Road to allow dogs to trade with Western countries?
Now that the Western Regions have been attacked and become his Zhu Que's territory, from now on, this will become Zhu Que's front line to the outside world!
Upon hearing this, the leaders of the tribes were immediately ecstatic!
Their biggest concern is that the Eastern Chagatai will collapse, and Zhu Li will take back the promise he made before!
But now instead of retracting his previous promise, Zhu Li wanted to deliver a large number of goods to Luntai City!
More importantly, Zhu Li also promised to build a factory here in the Western Regions, and let them all have the opportunity to participate, which is no different from dropping pies in the sky, right?
"I'll wait to thank His Royal Highness King Han!"
"His Royal Highness King Han rest assured, in the future, our tribes will absolutely support Daming, and they will have no two hearts!"
For a time, all the tribal leaders expressed their positions one after another, eager to open their hearts to Zhu Li to show their loyalty!
"But King Ben also said ugly things ahead!"
"If anyone dares to move other minds, affect the unity of the Western Regions, and cut off everyone's wealth, you also know the means of this king!"
Zhu Li suddenly changed his tone and warned at this time.
He believed that in the face of the visible benefits, these Western Regions tribes would inevitably make a smart choice!
After everyone's interests are tied to Daming in the future, naturally few people will think of rebelling!
But it is not ruled out that individual brains in the water will jump out to do things!
"His Royal Highness King Han rest assured, if anyone dares to betray Daming, we can tear him apart alive without your help!"
Immediately, a tribal leader patted his chest and assured.
"King Ben naturally believes in your sincerity!"
"King Ben can also give you a reassurance pill today, the promises made by King Ben to the Western Regions before are still valid, and the father emperor has promised that after the Western Regions are annexed to Daming, they will also be handed over to King Ben to govern!"
"From now on, as long as you follow in the footsteps of King Ben, King Ben can guarantee that the life of your tribes will only get better and better!"
"You will also enjoy the same treatment as the people of Daming!"
Zhu Li nodded with great satisfaction.
Upon hearing this, the tribal leaders cheered even more, shouting slogans such as Long live the Daming Emperor, the mighty King of Han, and so on, and bowed directly to Zhu Li's father and son.
This can also be regarded as a complete return to the heart, a real subservience!
They did not doubt what Zhu Li said, the current development of Hanzhong Mansion and Xi'an Prefecture, that was visible to these Western Regions tribes!
Their caravans, who had all been to Hanzhong and Xi'an, naturally knew what Zhu Li's promise represented.
King Zhu Li of Han has the strength to fulfill this promise!
At this time, who dares to jump out and say that they oppose Zhu Li or betray Daming, they really don't need Zhu Li to do it themselves, these Western Regions tribes alone can directly make that person disappear directly!
Who remembers what East Chagatai at this time?
Compared with the immediate interests and the good life in the future, the former Eastern Chagatai and the Black Fire Khan have long been left behind by them!
They were even rejoicing that they had made a wise choice and had already surrendered to Daming before the Eastern Chagatai was about to collapse!
On the same day, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li father and son hosted a banquet for these tribal leaders in Alimali, and it was not until the next day that these tribal leaders returned to their tribes, and everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces!
I already knew that in this way, without the help of the King of Han, they themselves could overthrow the Eastern Chagatai!
Follow the king of Han to eat fragrant and spicy, isn't it fragrant?
As in Luntai City, although this last crucial battle was won more easily, it also killed and wounded some Hanzhong soldiers.
Before Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li left Alimali, they also had to send away these soldiers who died in battle!
Seeing once again that the corpses of the Hanzhong Army generals were commanded by the corpse chasing Taoist priests and went to Hanzhong Mansion on their own, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think of the tomb of the lonely army in Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong Mansion
"Lao Jiu, the Western Regions have been beaten down, should we also go back?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Li at this time.
"That's nature. Now when you return to Hanzhong Mansion, you must also prepare for the New Year! "
Zhu Li smiled and nodded.
"We know that your Hanzhong Mansion still has an immortal army, right?"
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed his tone and asked...
