The gunmen had no distracting thoughts, facing the enemies that came over like a flock, all their attention was on the flintlocks.
Three rounds of shooting.
In fact, in the third round of shooting, there were not many Ladakh soldiers in front of the formation. When the gunmen behind fired again, they either fired bullets at the soldiers who were going to escape at the back, or at the wounded soldiers on the ground.
The gunmen are loading ammunition. The Ladakh soldiers on the opposite side have not yet killed them, and they may attack again at any time. They must be prepared.
Senghannajie didn't make any more shocks. Ladakh's horses seemed to know the mind of Senghannajie, shaking their heads and tails one by one, touching their hooves to the ground, and from time to time they looked up to the sky and let out a scream.
"No, the enemy wants to flee." Mu Qiyuan decisively ordered the soldiers to wave the flag.
The cavalry on both sides were impatient to wait a long time ago, and if you wait any longer, no enemy may be able to kill them. Seeing the flag, they are like flintlock bullets, towards the last thousand cavalry of Sengnanje. Pounced over.
Where did Sengnanjie dare to fight melee, he turned his horse's head and took the remaining cavalry to escape to Ladakh. The Ming army behind him hurriedly pursued.
However, the road to Ladakh was rugged, with trails and dangerous roads emerging one after another, and the Ming army did not know the geography. In the end, Sengnanje took hundreds of cavalry to escape back to Ladakh.
Mu Qiyuan had no intention of invading Ladakh. Before he came to Ali in Uszang, he had not even heard of the name Ladakh. Since Sengnanjie had crossed the border to commit the crime, he planned to stay with him to the end.
He personally led the Liu Zhenyu Division of the 55th Division, and under the guidance of the Ladakh troops and the local people, he entered Ladakh from Barrigas.
Ladakh is located in the southeast of Kashmir, with the Karakoram Mountains to the east, and the Himalayas and Kashmir Mountains to the west. The Xindu River (now the Indus River) passes through it and is a long and narrow line between the Karakoram Mountains and the Himalayas. The zone, the northwest leads to the western region, and the southeast connects Ustizang.
What Mu Qiyuan didn’t know was that in the history of later generations, Ladakh was subordinate to Indian-controlled Kashmir, and India and Pakistan died here, because Ladakh was the only channel for India to enter the Western Regions, and it is now Mowo in the Indian subcontinent. The dynasty does not care about Ladakh, because it still occupies the areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan, and there are passages in the direction of the Western Regions.
Mu Qiyuan followed the Lachu River to the north to pursue Sengnanjie. Two days later, the army arrived at the Mangyu, the capital of Ladakh.
Mangyu (the city of Leh in today’s Kashmir region) is located on the north bank of the upper reaches of the Lachu River. It is a valley surrounded by the Himalayas, Karakoram and Hindu Kush mountains. The terrain here is much lower than that of Uszang. The irrigation of Lachu River is very suitable for human settlement.
The towering mountains, the green grass, the blue sky, the endless river...
It is simply a paradise.
The arrival of the Ming army quickly broke the peace and harmony of this Taoyuan. As a soldier, during the war, Mu Qiyuan had no intention of admiring the scenery of the enemy country. After reaching the Mangyu, he immediately commanded the soldiers to enclose the Mangyu. Completely lost contact with the outside world.
The artillery of the Ming Army was too heavy, and the rear army transporting the artillery had not arrived at Mangyu for the time being. Mu Qiyuan did not attack Mangyu with a ladder, nor did he have a ladder. He was waiting for the gun.
Five days later, the artillery of the Ming army was delivered to Mangyu.
Mu Qiyuan, who had been waiting for too long, immediately set up a cannon outside the Nancheng Gate.
There were less than two thousand defenders in the city. Except for the thousand soldiers who had stayed in the city, they were mainly the hundreds of cavalry who had not escaped from Zha with Sengnanjie. Those soldiers who had seen Ming army artillery in the Guge area had already Shaking in the city, but Sengnanjie, who had never seen artillery before, tried to rely on the walls of Mangyu for the last resistance.
The Ming Army chased him so quickly, and his heart no longer had the anger of bereaved, but only the fear of the Ming Army.
Mu Qiyuan didn't let Segenange fear for long. The south gate of Mangyu City quickly collapsed in the artillery fire of the Ming army.
Sengnanjie was extremely surprised and did not let his soldiers die. This time, he followed Nankabugun's suggestion. When the Ming army entered the city, he acquiesced to the soldiers' surrender.
Sengnanjie was in a daze. His heart was empty. Anyway, there was no fear. When the Ming army soldiers bound him, he neither fleeed nor resisted, he just felt that he was free.
Manjushri had already arranged his destination for him. Since God's will is like this, why should he go against the sky
Along with Sengnanjie, who were tied up by the Ming army, there were Nankabugong and Gagazamba. Nankabugong was much more sober than Sengnanjie, and he asked to see Mu Qiyuan, the commander of the Ming army.
It was heard that Nankabugong was Ladakh participating in politics and the veteran of the Four Dynasties. Mu Qiyuan made an exception to meet him in the temporary military camp.
"See General Mu." Nankabugong was tied up all over, unable to kneel, so he had to bow and salute Mu Qiyuan.
"South Carolina's participation in politics is the four-dynasty veteran of Ladakh," Mu Qiyuan motioned to him to sit down, but did not loosen him. "I heard that Nanka's participation in politics wants to see me. I don't know why?"
"General Mu, the old man is unclear about something, I hope General Mu can advise." Nankabugon glanced at Mu Qiyuan, seeing Mu Qiyuan also watching him, he quickly looked away.
Mu Qiyuan's gaze still stayed on the face of Nankabugun. He didn't know what he didn't understand in Nankabugun. The war was about to end, Ladakh was about to be destroyed, and he didn't show his cards in Nankabugon. Before, Mu Qiyuan was very polite: "If you have anything to say about South Carolina's participation in politics, you might as well say it straight."
"Then I will forgive the old man for being unreasonable," Nankabugon hesitated for a moment, and finally turned his attention to Mu Qiyuan, "General Mu, Ladakh has always been a vassal state of Daming, and Ladakh has not offended Daming. Why is Daming innocent? Invading soldiers?"
"Is Nanka's participation in politics questioning this general?" Although Mu Qiyuan expected that Nankabugun would make some words of questioning, he didn't expect him to ask so directly.
"The old man dare not. The old man is not accusing General Mu. It is just that the Mang region of the capital city of Ladakh was attacked by the Ming army, and the old man feels injustice. Therefore, I have to ask this question." Nankabugong lowered his head as an accompaniment to Mu Qiyuan. If there is something wrong with Ladakh, please ask General Mu to point it out. The old man must persuade my king to correct any behavior that dissatisfied Da Ming.
Mu Qiyuan sneered in his heart. It turned out to be the veteran of the Four Dynasties, the old spicy ginger. It was obvious that Ladakh no longer existed. What kind of corrections would he talk about? Could a dead man correct his own mistakes? "South Carolina participates in politics. This general misses you a lot of age, so he treats you with courtesy. How dare you beat him up?"
"The old man dare not."
"Don't you dare?" Mu Qiyuan watched Nankabugun until he lowered his head and looked at his thigh, "Is the Ming army really innocent? Don't you know, you four dynasty veteran? Does Sengonangje lead his army to Ali?"
"General Mu, I am blunt, my king was a bit impulsive, but that was because the **** died under the artillery fire of the Ming army, the Ladakh royal family lost its heritage, and my king became demented for a while, so he did it improperly. Excuse me, but Ladakh has always been a vassal state of Daming, how can General Mu capture my king?"
Speaking of fighting, Mu Qiyuan is the country’s father and admits that he is not defeated by South Kabong. However, Ladakh is about to destroy the country and he still has a lot to do. He is unwilling to wrestle with South Kabong. "What the Ming army does and how to do it does not require South Carolina to participate in politics. This general will ask South Carolina to participate in politics as the ultimate point of our conversation. I hope that participation in politics will take a good look."
"General Mu, please tell me, the old man listens carefully."
"South Carolina has participated in politics. Since Daming was founded, Ladakh has been a vassal state of Daming. But for hundreds of years, has Ladakh sent people to see Daming? How many tributes have been paid? It was established by Daming in Ladakh.' General Orith’s mansion’ has already existed in name only, what exactly did Ladakh do for Daming?"
"This… "
"Take a step back and say that even though Ladakh is still a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, Senghenangjie sent troops to attack the Ming army and committed the following crimes. Shouldn't the country be destroyed?"
Hearing the word "destroy the country", Nankabugon trembled, and then he stabilized his figure, "General Mu, that is because my king lost his son..."
"Don't talk about bereaved sons, you should lose your father, and you shouldn't attack the Ming army," Mu Qiyuan interrupted Nankabugun's explanation. "Ladakh is a vassal state of Ming, and the Guge dynasty is also a vassal state of Ming. Ladakh dared to destroy the Guge dynasty privately without the permission of Ming Dynasty. This general kindly persuaded Indaba Tirangu to retreat. Who knows that he does not know good or bad and refuses to retreat. Such a person will not die and will become a leader in the future. King Dark is also Daming's scourge."
"..."
"Since you have done something wrong, you have to accept punishment. The soldiers will come here tomorrow. It will be in vain for you to wake up again." Mu Qiyuan didn't intend to bother with the arrogant entanglement in South Kabugun at all. "If South Carolina participates in politics and cherishes Ladakh. Friendship with Daming should be desperately persuaded when Sengnanjie raised his troops eastward. However, Nanka’s participation in politics was a veteran of the four dynasties, and he would only break the city in the future and say some useless crazy things. ."
"General Mu doesn't know anything, my king's strategy of raising troops, the old man has already advised me in every possible way."
"Whether South Carolina has exhorted Sengonange to participate in politics, this general does not care, this general only knows, Sengonange still rises up to oppose it."
"This..." Nankabugun hesitated, "How does General Mu plan to deal with Ladakh and my king?"
"Anyone who opposes Da Ming is his enemy. When the Ming army arrives, it will destroy all the cities, and only then will it show the power of the celestial dynasty."
"General Mu, my king is demented, and the old man has nothing to say. The old man begs the army to treat the people as innocent, and ask the army not to hurt the people."
"Haha, it’s a bad idea for Nanka’s participation in politics. The Ming army is new to Ladakh, how do you know who the soldiers are and who are the people? Besides, aren’t soldiers recruited from the people? Is it true that the Ming army will give it to itself when it’s here? Leave trouble?"
Nankabugun was shaking constantly. His old body could no longer control the loose muscles of his body. It took a long time to rest before he regained the ability to speak. "General, if the old man lets Da Bo Li, Bi Di The defenders in the city surrendered to the Ming army. Will the Ming army stop the killing?"
Mu Qiyuan took a deep look at Nankabugun, and he sympathized with Nankabugun infinitely. "If the whole of Ladakh surrenders to the Ming army, the Ming army will naturally not kill again."
"Well, the old man is Ladakh and Daming, and he will do his best in the end."
