Chapter 308
Chapter 308
Chongzhen knew that although the Daming Empire was currently the largest in the world.
But the Ming Empire also did not want to abandon North America, South America and Oceania.
In these three continents, the country basically does not have, although there are some colonial armies, but they have just begun to colonize, and the strength is not very strong.
If Daming takes down these three continents, basically only Europe and Africa will remain.
In many European kingdoms, there was no need to occupy their lands, because whites were generally lazy.
Of course, Africa is not to mention, all blacks, and the Daming Empire cannot occupy Africa and let Africans be pariahs for the Daming Empire.
Anyway, Chongzhen himself can copy all kinds of materials indefinitely, and the Daming Empire has received enough untouchables.
Of course, the Heshuot Khanate still had to be taken down, after all, it was the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and logically speaking, it must be owned by the Daming Empire.
The 30,000 Yarkand assistance army was assembled by Chongzhen, who also issued them cotton armor and cotton jackets to protect them from the cold in order to enable them to fight on the plateau.
The only soldiers of the auxiliary army were cotton armor and long-handled chopping knives.
Firearms and long-range weapons such as bows and arrows will not be equipped for them.
The exception was the Daming Eight Banners Auxiliary Army, which was equipped with strong bows and some war horses in addition to these two weapons.
Because they are very good at riding 087 shooting, they can't let them forget their housekeeping skills.
In Yarkand City, Chongzhen changed the place to Daming Yarkand Province, and made Yarkand City the provincial capital of Yarkand Province.
In the Yarkand war zone, Chongzhen planned to arrange for King Gui to serve.
Although King Gui lacked ability, the deputy governor was a veteran who often fought, so there was no need to worry at all.
"King Gui, let you be the governor of the Yarkand Theater, and Xu will recruit you 100,000 Daming National Salvation Army and 100,000 Daming Revolutionary Guards, in Yarkand Province, you have to calculate the land, and at the same time the Daming untouchables do not have land, but give them enough work, such as road builders and construction workers."
"In addition, five million Daming citizens will be relocated to settle in Yarkand Province and completely sinicize this land."
King Gui clasped his hands into fists: "Your Majesty is wise!" "
"This Daming Protector Army will take it with them to attack the Heshuot Khanate."
"The 30,000 Yarkand Assistance Army is also temporarily mobilized, and you will stay in Yarkand Province for the time being, responsible for the development and planning of Yarkand Province, understand?"
King Gui nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the small one will definitely fulfill his duties and manage the Yarkand war zone well." "
Chongzhen was very satisfied, and waited until April of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen to set out for the Heshuot Khanate.
Because it was autumn and winter before, the Heshuot Khanate was very cold, and now in April, the march arrived in the Heshuot Khanate, it is estimated that it will be June and July, and the weather is just right.
On the first day of April, the army set out.
Chongzhen rode his horse, abandoned his carriage, and the more he advanced to the Heshuot Khanate, the more difficult the road became.
"Your Majesty, the air here is getting thinner and thinner, and the soldiers are already having difficulty breathing."
Chongzhen frowned, this has already entered the plateau.
The Yarkand people are nothing, they seem to be able to adapt to the environment of the plateau.
Only a very small number of Ming soldiers developed altitude sickness.
Whenever altitude sickness occurred, Chongzhen let them immediately ride their horses and retreat to Yarkand Province.
Of the 50,000 Daming Protector troops, only more than 2,000 retreated to Yarkand Province.
"Your Majesty, this road is from the south of Yarkand Province and goes straight to the Heshuot Khanate."
"There is also a road that goes west from the land of Daming Bashu, and that road is more dangerous than ours."
"You still have to climb through the lofty mountains to reach the Heshuot Khanate."
Yarkand's guide kept explaining to Chongzhen.
Chongzhen was very surprised, this Yarkand guide was so powerful?
"In other words, you have been to the Heshuot Khanate before? How is these so familiar? "
"Your Majesty, our Yarkand Khanate often has trade contacts with the Heshuot Khanate."
"The Heshuot Khanate, five percent of the nobility, occupies ninety-nine percent of the wealth."
"Even the remaining ninety-five percent of the serfs were their private property."
Chongzhen couldn't believe his ears, serfs turned out to be the private property of nobles?
"Is this (ceac) scary?"
"Yes, basically in every noble household, there are several, even a dozen serfs."
"Some nobles, even hundreds of serfs!"
"Like King Heshuot Khan, he had three thousand serfs to help him take care of his land." (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
"Serfs had no wages a day and no freedom, they ate only one meal a day."
"Sometimes the noble lords are happy and will add a meal to them."
Chongzhen did not expect that the Heshuot Khanate, which occupied the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, would be so cruel.
Chongzhen recalled that he was in another plane, and this area was not abolished until the time of liberation.
It seems that Xu will come to rescue the serfs of the Heshuot Khanate in advance.
"In other words, why didn't these serfs resist?"
"Resist? Your Majesty, what jokes are you telling! "
"When the serfs even worked, the hoe and sickle were received when they were working, and after the labor, they were returned to the noble lords."
"The thugs raised by the nobles are equipped with fire bolts and sharp machetes!"
"The serfs just want to live, but they don't want to be stabbed!"
Chongzhen suddenly realized that these nobles were very sharply equipped.
Ninety-five percent of the people were serfs.
"How many people are there in this and the Shuot Khanate?"
"It is estimated that there are about one million people, and there are about fifty thousand nobles."
Chongzhen gasped: "His mother, the Daming generals obeyed the order, entered the Heshuot Khanate, and rescued the serfs!" "
Yarkand assisted the army of 30,000 men to open the way at the front.
In the distance, in a large field, serfs were ploughing the land, ready to plant barley.
"Your Majesty, at least five hundred serfs were found ahead, ploughing the land, and it is estimated that they are going to plant barley."
Chongzhen took the telescope and observed.
A large piece of land, a hundred acres of land.
About five hundred serfs were actually ploughing the land with leg irons.
"Hell, let the serfs work, why put shackles on them?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know something, without leg irons, many serfs will escape."
"These nobles put leg shackles on them to avoid such things."
"If you look around, it seems that there are ten noble thugs, armed with fire bolts and crossbows."
"As long as these serfs want to escape, they can injure them at any time, or even kill them."
"A serf, converted into silver taels, is worth one or two silver."
Chongzhen was stunned, his mother's one or two silver can buy and sell a serf?
This and the Shuot Khanate are also too evil.
"Daming Protector Army, go to a small banner, kill ten guys, and save hundreds of serfs."
A small flag of ten people, they quickly approached with flintlock guns.
Bang bang bang ~~~
When they were thirty paces away, the thugs noticed the abnormality, and with a gunshot, they fell to the ground.
The serfs were numb in their eyes, squatting on the ground and shivering.
