But the Guge Palace was indestructible, and the fort was plentiful with food and weapons. After a month of siege, Sengonange was about to retreat.
At this time, the brother of the great lama of Chitashi Zhabad came up with various ways to persuade Chitashi Zhabad to surrender. Chitashi Zhabad was seriously ill and felt embarrassed on all sides, so he agreed to negotiate peace and claim tribute. After Chitashi Zhabad walked out of the castle, Seng Gnanjie arrested him and his family and escorted them to the Mang region of the capital city of Ladakh. Later, Chitashi Zhabad and his son were secretly executed.
The monks realized that they were deceived, but it was too late. The army of the Ladakh dynasty occupied the entire territory of the Guge dynasty, and the Guge dynasty, which was founded 800 years ago, has since perished.
Seng Gonang Jie ordered his son, Indah Bottirangu, to rule the Guge area.
The Ming court did not know everything that happened here, and the focus of the Ming Dynasty, apart from Guan, was the reform within the court.
After Mu Qiyuan entered the Ngari area, all the small towns originally under the jurisdiction of the Second Army of Danjongwangpo had all surrendered.
He hadn't planned to attack the Guge Dynasty and the Ladakh Dynasty. After all, they are different from Uszang. They are only the vassal state of Ming Dynasty, not the territory of Ming Dynasty.
Mu Qiyuan's entry into Ustizang this time was to quell Uszang’s riots against the Han people and destroy the rule of Tanjungwangpo. There were basically no Hans in the Guge and Ladakh dynasties, and their wars were not directly related to the Hans. Relationship.
But when Mu Qiyuan heard that the Ladakh dynasty had destroyed the Guge dynasty and occupied all the territory of the Guge dynasty, he always felt a little unhappy.
The Ladakh dynasty is a vassal state of Daming, and it is true that Daming cannot attack, but the Guge dynasty is also a vassal state of Daming. Daming is obliged to protect its vassal state. It’s fine if you fight for land, property, or women. Can the country be destroyed
After discussing with several division commanders and staff officers, Mu Qiyuan decided to salute the soldiers first. On the grounds of protecting Daming's vassal state, they demanded that the Ladakh dynasty retreat. The land of the original Guge dynasty was temporarily taken over by Daming.
If the army of the Ladakh dynasty retreats, the 19th Army will occupy the entire territory of the original Guge dynasty. As for whether to restore the Guge dynasty, the court will decide in the future.
If the Ladakh dynasty refuses to retreat, Mu Qiyuan will send troops to attack Ladakh’s army in the name of the overlord of the Guge dynasty, and drive them back to Ladakh. The 19th Army seized the opportunity to occupy these areas and gained the army’s power. Occupation, these lands will sooner or later be the territory of Daming, and the Nineteenth Army will also be able to do more for Daming’s land and territory.
After Mu Qiyuan sent an envoy, Yingda Botilangu did not agree with Mu Qiyuan's proposal to withdraw troops, and refused to withdraw the army to Ladakh.
The Guge dynasty and the Ladakh dynasty have been caught in a long war since the founding of the country. The two sides have been feuds for more than 700 years. They finally have the opportunity to erase the Guge dynasty. How can they return the occupied land? If Da Ming helped the descendants of the Guge royal family to re-establish the country, wouldn't Ladakh have another enemy
Although Daming is the overlord of the Ladakh and Guge dynasties, in these years, Daming has never had any connection with the Ladakh or Guge dynasties. It has little influence on Ladakh. Otherwise, Danjongwangpo will be destroyed. Why didn't Daming react when he dropped the small country around the Guge dynasty
What Yingda Botilangu did not consider was that Daming had no troops stationed nearby at that time, but now Daming's army has arrived.
After being rejected by Indaba Tirangu, Mu Qiyuan did not wait any longer. He personally led Liu Zhenyu of the 55th Division and surrounded the Zhabuying City where Inda Botirang was stationed.
There were only two thousand defenders in the city. In fact, the entire Guge dynasty’s original rule area was stationed with only four thousand Ladakh troops. Ladakh is a small country with many mountains and a sparse population. The whole country has only 8000 troops. In order to consolidate the newly-occupied land, only half of the country's army was stationed. Once the people surrendered, part of the army must be withdrawn. After all, the capital city is the focus of defense.
Mu Qiyuan didn't allow the soldiers to force the attack. Although it might be impossible to capture them, the casualties of the soldiers would be greater. After enclosing the four gates, he transported all the ten artillery pieces to the relatively open eastern city gate.
Due to the direct surrender of the Second Army of Tanjong Wangpo in the Ngari area, after the Ming army entered the Ngari area, they had not fought yet, and of course no one had seen the power of the Ming army's artillery and flintlock.
Yingda Botilanggu became scared when he saw the Ming army surrounded the impervious gate on all sides, so he sent people to ask for help from Mangyu, while he personally went up to the front of the city to command the defense.
In his mind, Zha would not allow the city to have a fort, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Last year, the army of Ladakh attacked for a month but failed to conquer it. Later, the brother of King Gug succeeded in persuading the surrender, and the army of Ladakh took the King Guge, who lived out of the city and surrendered, was unable to occupy Zha, and he could resist it for half a month no matter what.
As long as the Ming army is blocked for half a month, Ladakh's reinforcements will definitely come to strengthen it.
But Mu Qiyuan would not give him half a month.
Yingda Botilangu didn't know the main direction of the Ming army until he saw the artillery arranged by the Ming army outside the east city.
He didn't know artillery, but when he patrolled the city from the four gates, the black hole of the artillery muzzle made him a little scared, so he felt that the Ming army would launch a main attack from the east city gate for no reason.
While praying to the Buddha in his heart, Indaba Tirangu watched the Ming army outside the city with his peripheral vision. Suddenly, he heard a series of roars. After the roar, more than ten giants flew out of the Ming army’s position. Flying birds.
What is even more peculiar is that the tail of the flying bird still has long flaming red tail feathers.
"Could these big birds peck at soldiers' flesh and blood? Or do they peck blind soldiers in the eyes?"
Indaba Tirangu was about to order the soldiers to release arrows to prevent the big bird from falling down the city, but it was too late. The big bird was so fast that it had swooped down from low altitude.
"It's not good." Although Indaba Tirangu didn't understand what the big bird was trying to do, he knew that the soldiers had absolutely no good fruit.
He himself has nothing to eat.
A blooming bullet exploded just near his body.
Indah Bottirangu, the Ladakh ****, was too late to leave any last words, so he flew with the guard on the left, and he couldn't even find a decent body.
The flower bomb is still being fired.
The Guge dynasty was originally a small country, the country’s small people were weak, and even the built walls were not strong. The artillery only passed five rounds of firing, and the impermissible city wall collapsed with a ten-foot-long hole. The "U"-shaped gap was just right for offering. Infantry in and out.
"The 191st Brigade, into the city."
When the 191st Brigade entered the city, there was no defender in the gap. I don't know if it was killed by the bomb or scared away by the bomb.
The Ming army was divided into several search groups, while searching in the city, while opening other city gates, the Ming army from outside the city entered the city.
Indaba Tirangu was shot to death prematurely, and there was no leader of the defenders in the city, and suddenly fell into a mess.
Originally, the defenders wanted to retreat into the palace of the inner city, but the Ming army progressed too fast. No one thought that within half an hour, the city would be breached if the attack was not allowed. Before the defenders were ready, the Ming army would follow. Came to the outside of the palace.
Under the threat of flintlocks, two thousand Ladakh soldiers, more than one thousand surrendered. Soldiers who refused to surrender were shot and killed by the Ming army. In fact, some soldiers wanted to surrender, but the Ming army or Did not understand their meaning, or their movements were relatively slow, and before they put down their weapons, they were shot and killed by the Ming army.
The Ming army began to appease the people in the city. Because the Ladakh dynasty was originally a feud of the Guge dynasty, and the Guge dynasty was newly destroyed, the hearts of the people had not yet belonged to the Ladakh dynasty. Indaba Tirangu and his army were annihilated. It did not cause much repercussions in the city. Instead, the Ming army, which annihilated the Ladakh army, was more popular.
Mu Qiyuan divided his troops and surrendered the surrounding Tucheng, Burang, Gar, and Ritu successively returned to the Shunming Army.
The entire Wusi-Tibet area and the former Guge dynasty ruled area all surrendered to the 19th Army. Mu Qiyuan didn't know that in the history of later generations, all the territories of the Tibet Autonomous Region were completely returned to Daming.
Mu Qiyuan sent people to notify the 20th Army stationed in Lhasa and Shigatse, and at the same time celebrated the end of Uszizang's rebellion in the city of Zhaburong.
But soon, Mu Qiyuan discovered that he had celebrated too early.
King Senghenange of Ladakh received a letter from his son for help in Mangyu City. He immediately gathered the soldiers and horses of the whole country, and Xiangzha refused to let him approach.
Sengonangje is ready with both hands. If Daming does not hold him accountable for occupying the Guge dynasty, he will order his son Indaba Tirangu to retreat. After all, Daming is too strong and he is unwilling to confront him directly. Even though the Guge dynasty was re-established under the support of Ming Dynasty, after the war last year and the rule and plunder of Ladakh for nearly a year, it would be difficult to restore the past national power in at least 20 years.
If Daming had to hold him accountable for occupying the Guge dynasty, and even sent troops to attack Ladakh, he would gather all the soldiers and horses to fight Daming to the death. Ladakh is too far away from Daming, and the surrounding mountains are not suitable for large-scale mobilization. The army is really going to fight Da Ming decisively, it is not certain who will die!
The cruel reality soon shattered Sengonange’s dream. The defeated soldier who had fled from the east told him that the **** Yingda Botilangu had died under the artillery of the Ming army, and the Ming army had already Occupied all areas of the original Guge dynasty.
Seng Genangjie went mad, and the death of the **** made him completely irrational. He gritted his teeth and swears: We must defeat the army of Ming and retake the Guge dynasty.
"Majesty, Daming is powerful, even Danjong Wangpo in front and back Tibet was defeated by Daming, not to mention my little Ladakh." The supreme commander of the Ladakh army, Gaga Zamba, knew that Ladakh and Daming are not of the same order of magnitude. His opponents must not go to war directly. Only under the wings of Daming can they accumulate strength and defend the country from the encroachment of the surrounding small countries.
"Go away, you coward, I don't know how you are the military commander of Ladakh. This king does not need your help, this king will personally lead the troops."
Sengnanje said this with confidence. He is different from his father. He is not only the king of Ladakh, but also the most prestigious military commander in Ladakh.
