In fact, all idiots know that Gao Jie's killing spree, with his hands full of blood, heads rolling, and the ground covered with blood, must have something to do with Xu Xingxia's tacit approval. How could Gao Jie do that without Xu Xingxia's permission? He has long been arrested by the military court of the White Army. Can he continue to serve as the commander of the Mastiff Cavalry? But if others know this, so what?
You complained to Xu Xingxia about Gao Jie¡¯s wanton killing? Accusing the Ottoman Empire of the numerous crimes committed by the White Army? Accuse the White Army of their sins to everyone in the world? Brother, stop joking and go to sleep! This is completely whimsical! At most, Xu Xingxia would transfer Gao Jie to another place and change his position. It is absolutely impossible for Xu Xingxia to question Gao Jie. The only consequence of doing this is to anger Xu Xingxia.
Gao Jie led his army to raid Yarkand City, and he was quite clear about Abdullatif's background. It was because of Gao Jie's madness that Abdullatif hurriedly ordered the surrender. He was afraid that if he surrendered a little slower, Gao Jie would find an excuse to massacre the city. Gao Jie, this lunatic, has already massacred many people around Asok City.
If Abdullatif wants to cause trouble, Xu Xingxia can completely release Gao Jie and let him deal with Abdullatif. By then, I'm afraid not even a little bit of Abdullatif's scum will remain in this world. There will be no trace of scum left in his relatives, his subordinates, his friends, or even the entire city of Ya'ergan.
Fortunately, Xu Xingxia had no intention of continuing to embarrass Abdullatif. There is actually no point in holding on to Abdullatif. If you want to be ruthless, you must also act against others. He changed the subject and said, "Adul, what's going on with those fanatics?"
Abdullatif breathed a huge sigh of relief and replied politely: "Your Majesty the Governor, I have nothing to do with those fanatics anymore. According to the latest news I received, there are a large number of fanatics. . We are gathering towards Hashar, there may be hundreds of thousands of people. Please prepare your army in advance to avoid being caught off guard."
Xu Xingxia nodded and ended the conversation: "Thank you for the reminder, we will pay attention to it. For your safety, you should go to Turpan to rest for a while."
Abdullatif naturally did not dare to refuse, so he stood up quickly, agreed politely, and expressed his gratitude at the same time. This is also a foreseeable outcome. For someone who just surrendered. He must be transferred away from the place where he originally ruled. Otherwise, many tasks will not be carried out. However, being transferred to Turpan is better than being transferred to the mainland.
Of course, Abdullatif believes that when the time is right. It would be better to apply to settle in Jiangnan. All the time. He was very interested in Jiangnan Water Town. In the spring of March, in the south of the Yangtze River where grass grows and orioles fly, I don¡¯t know how many people dream about it. In the 480 Temple in the Southern Dynasties, there are many towers in the mist and rain. This is the artistic conception that Abdullatif admires most.
There is no doubt that settling in Jiangnan is just a small excuse. Staying away from right and wrong is the most important thing. Watching the war between the Ottoman Empire and the White Army. It was going to be fully unfolded. He, the original Yerqiang Khan, was caught in the middle, and it felt quite uncomfortable. No matter who wins or loses, it's hard for him to stay completely out of it. The only way is to stay far away. If you can't even hide in Jiangnan, then you have no choice but to hide overseas.
Abdullatif is so cooperative. Xu Xingxia said nothing more. Out of politeness, he escorted Abdullatif out of the door of the city hall. Abdullatif knew that if he left, he would never have the chance to come back, so he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic. but. In the end, he got on his horse without hesitation. Left decisively. He is also a man who can afford to take things up and let go. Otherwise, he would not have ruled the Yarkand Khanate for so many years.
"Sir, is this Abdullatif doing something behind his back?" Zhang Tianhao asked worriedly. Unlike Xu Xingxia, he never quite believed that Abdullatif's surrender came from his heart. After all, Abdullatif still has 50,000 Yarkand cavalry in his hands, which can resist for a while. There is no need to be so crisp.
"Ignore him! He has surrendered!" Xu Xingxia said calmly.
Regardless of whether Abdullatif really surrendered, he had already made an act of surrender. He also handed over his army. Now that his army is in the hands of the White Army, and accepts the reorganization and command of the White Army, Abdullatif has no chance to stand up even if he has great ability.
After expelling Abdullatif and other high-level Yarkand soldiers from Yarkand City, the remaining 50,000 Yarkand cavalry would have no backbone, and it would be much easier for the White Army to transform. These 50,000 Yarkand cavalry are very familiar with the situation in the Western Regions. After transforming them,?? will be the main force of the White Army's Western Region Legion.
"Tianhao, I'm going to inspect the Leopard Cavalry Army, and I'll leave the base camp to you!"
After sending someone to send Abdullatif and others away, Xu Xingxia immediately went to the Leopard Cavalry camp to inspect. In this military operation of the White Army sweeping across the Western Regions, the one with the most arduous tasks and the most outstanding achievements was the Leopard Cavalry Army led by Mao Shisan.
The Leopard Cavalry led by Mao Shisan set out from the southernmost point of Hami Guard and went through a long desert road for almost half a year before finally reaching the city of Khotan. After resting for half a month in Khotan City, they continued to march towards Yarkand City, and cooperated with the white-clothed troops from the north and south to tightly surround Yaerqian City.
It was precisely because of the arrival of the Leopard Cavalry that Abdullatif had to readily accept the request of the White Army and surrender unconditionally. If he continues to resist, he will definitely fall into a north-south pincer attack by the White Army. At that time, the only fate is that the entire army will be annihilated.
Mao Shisan and a group of officers stood at the gate of the camp early to welcome Xu Xingxia's arrival. They all looked quite tired after crossing the edge of the huge Tarim Basin. Due to long-term high temperature and sun exposure, their faces are all dark and dark. Some officers' faces were even damaged by the sun.
"Welcome to the Chairman!"
Mao Shisan and others came up one after another to salute Xu Xingxia and say hello warmly.
"Hello everyone!"
¡°Thank you for your hard work, everyone!¡±
Xu Xingxia got off his horse and shook hands with the officers one by one to express condolences.
Many of the officers of the Leopard Cavalry were Xu Xingxia¡¯s former subordinates and old acquaintances. Meeting acquaintances is naturally very lively. In previous battles, the performance of the Leopard Cavalry Army has always been excellent, and it is one of the most capable armies under Xu Xingxia. There are also quite a few talents who have come out of the Leopard Cavalry.
"Li Zicheng?"
"Zhang Xianzhong?"
Xu Xingxia suddenly shouted in surprise.
It turned out that he actually saw two brand-new faces among these officers, and they were Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. After not seeing each other for more than two years, the two of them are qualified to stand in the welcome queue. As expected, things have changed and time has passed!
That day in Yulin Town, when Xu Xingxia saw the two of them, he kept a close eye on them and firmly remembered their appearance. Originally, he planned to care about their combat performance. It is indeed a very interesting topic to see how the two super fierce men in the history of the late Ming Dynasty will perform under the command of the White Army.
"It's a pity that wars became more frequent later, the army continued to expand, and the officers continued to adjust. Xu Xingxia didn't know which army the two of them went to. After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the White Army, and it is impossible for him to keep an eye on the actions of two soldiers at all times.
Now that the two of them can appear next to Mao Shisan, it means that they are at least the level of squadron leader or above. Being able to grow from a soldier to a squadron leader in two years is quite capable. Xu Xingxia had no intention of caring about the two of them. On the contrary, he did not deliberately suppress these two guys, which is already very good.
Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were obviously a little nervous when they saw Xu Xingxia's appearance, and they were at a loss for a while. It wasn't until the comrade next to them bumped them with their elbows that they reacted, hurriedly stepped forward, stood at attention, saluted, and said respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Chairman!"
Xu Xingxia nodded, raised his hand in return, and said with a smile: "Not bad, I have become a squadron leader."
The two of them hurriedly expressed their humility. The two are still very satisfied with the speed of promotion. Due to their outstanding performance on the battlefield, in addition to being promoted, they also made a lot of money. It can be said that the family of the two has lived a well-off life for a long time. They are very satisfied with the status quo. Loyalty to the White Army is naturally the highest.
Mao Shisan explained: "Their performance on the battlefield is indeed good."
Xu Xingxia nodded and didn¡¯t say anything more. He just patted the two of them on the shoulders to show encouragement. The bravery of these two guys on the battlefield does not need to be said. This is probably what they are best at. Maybe they have some shortcomings, but they are absolutely not lacking in not being afraid of death. In that era, it was impossible for those who did not have the courage to go to the battlefield to survive. Those who are afraid of death have long been kicked away by the White Army.
Xu Xingxia stayed in the Leopard Cavalry Army for three full days, talking carefully with the officers and soldiers to understand the situation of their march from the southern front. What made Xu Xingxia feel gratified was that although the Leopard Cavalry encountered many difficulties on the way, no soldier died. This is indeed reassuring news. Xu Xingxia immediately decided to give the entire Leopard Cavalry a third-class collective merit. forFor the entire army, this is a very high honor.
Abdullatif¡¯s surrender does not mean the end of the fighting in the Yarkand Khanate. On the contrary, a bigger battle is still to come. All intelligence shows that the behemoth in the West is angry with the White Army.
Three days later, Xu Xingxia returned to Asu¡¯s base camp.
