The news that Yili Bali fell from the wind was as if the horse's hooves had grown feet, and soon passed through the Yili River Valley along the foot of the Tianshan Mountains and spread to the other side of the world.

The person who collected this news was Tawu Khal Khan, the new successor to the throne of the Kazakh Khanate.

They are trapped in a war with the Khan of Tashkent, a small Khanate. The name means Stone City, a town with a long history.

Tawu Kaile Khan's father died in battle on the way to pursue Babaikhan. Then Tawu Kaile succeeded to the throne and continued to pursue, killing Babaikhan to Abdullah Khan in Bukhara Khan. On the way back, he heard the caravans from Ili returning to the army saying news from the East.

They said that in the ninth year of Wanli of the Datongli, under the order of Emperor Khan of the Ming Dynasty, the commander of the Neikalka Governor from the Hetao of Liaohe River in the far east, Borjijin Yehehongbatulu Bahua Khan was under the jurisdiction of Qi, the general of the Beiyang expedition, and joined the five major camps to call the Mongolian Light Army to defeat the troops in the west.

They crossed the Altai Mountains, plundered the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and they all captured everything. Finally, they arrived at the Yili River Valley in the spring and summer of the eleventh year of Wanli, quit the troops and reorganized the army, drank the horses and drank the valley. Their flags could cover the sky, their horses could flood the grasslands, and they wanted to conquer everything in the west. The Yarkand Khanate had surrendered, and the next one to stand in front of them was the Kazakh Khanate.

Such rumors would not have panicked Tawu Kel Khan. He just asked the tribes stationed in the Qihe Basin to explore the movements of the Mongols there on the way back.

After investigation, he was indeed shocked. Many tribes over there were no longer controlled by him.

On the east side of the Kazakh Khanate, the war never stopped. Since the fourth year of Jiajing of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, in order to control the trade routes to the west and the excellent pastures of the Qihe Basin, the Oirat tribes invaded the west, opening the first page of their war with the Kazakh Khanate.

Although the Oirat were large and powerful, they were relatively loose tribal alliances and many attacks within the tribes. Their war with the Kazakh Khanate was often a battle between one or several tribes in the entire Kazakh Khanate. In the war, more defeats and fewer wins, causing the tribes in the cracks in the Qihe River Basin to escape from the Oirat and join the Kazakh Khanate.

The Kazakh Khanate readily accepted their surrender and used them to block the invasion of the Oirat alliance.

Now the envoys sent by the Great Khan from those tribes were not able to come back. I am afraid that the news of the Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition in the east was true.

The Oirat had the Oirat Khan. Their Khan had not participated in the war with the Kazakh Khanate before. They were busy dealing with the rising Jin Dynasty Altan in the east. They did not make any effort to take charge of the west until a few days ago.

No longer worrying about the Jin Kingdom is not because Altan died, but because Hani Hongguorhan discovered a simpler way to win - just join in and it's all done.

If you don’t agree with Alta, you can still accept it.

The reason why the Heshuo tribe was able to become the leader of the Oirat is that their Khan has always been the bloodline of the Golden Family, and the bloodline becomes thinner the more westward, so the sense of superiority in the eastern Mongolian expedition in the west is particularly strong.

Not to mention the messy Khanate in the west, even the other tribes of the Oirat Alliance were all affiliated with assimilated Mongolia.

What is blood pressure?

The leader of the Mongolian army under Qi Jiguang, Chechen Hongtaiji, who was a heavy army, and Dong Chang'an, who was a light army, was fried flowers and the Borjijin family per capita.

There were too many troops under his command, and the command system became disordered. At this time, he finally found a place for rest. Qi Jiguang urgently needed to reorganize his troops.

He first merged the Zhejiang Army teacher with the Wansui Army, and selected more than 3,500 people who made contributions to form 40,000 households, which were widely distributed in Luntai, Tubo, and Yili, divided the cultivated land and pasture land, widely collected refugee troops, and added military farming.

At the same time, we reported to the court that the new Yili Metropolitan Commander Office was established, and the Ministry of War and Personnel sent county officials and military officers.

The remaining troops were integrated with the Mongolian light army and heavy army, and they were officially swallowed up into the Ming army system.

At this point, there were no more Mongolian light and heavy troops, only the Ming Dynasty's Western Army.

The commander of the commander was led by Qi Jiguang, and the commander of the commander of the Tongzhi, Dong Chang'ang, and the frying flowers. Altan followed General Sun Longhu Kutuktu, Chechen Hong Taiji, and the commander of the commander of the Tongzhi, with 16 members, and under the jurisdiction of 72 units, all of which were appointed as the Han general, and the minister served as the deputy thousand households, completely dispersed the troops of the past light army.

Each thousand households had five hundred infantry and cavalry, three hundred heavy cavalry, one hundred artillery, and one hundred airships. Among them, only thirty-three heavy cavalry under the command of the hundred households, and the rest were auxiliary soldiers; the artillery had two artillery pieces, one airship, and fifty logistics chariots.

Qi Jiguang's four-way army is now only the six guards of Liang Menglong, the governor of the North Railway of Selangor Railway, remain in their original organization, but they are no longer Qi Jiguang's troops. Liang Menglong has now paved the railway all the way to the west of Yinshan, and it is considered that he is very fast to enter the country, so he will definitely not be able to catch up with him.

In addition, he redistributed the cattle, sheep, horses, and camels that were carried by the Western Expedition, and each was led by thousands of households. No matter the infantry and cavalry, there were horses, and each division also set up a propaganda like the Beiyang Army. However, the primary task was to teach military soldiers to read, have instructor functions, and teach exploration, surveying, cavalry tactics, discipline training and other skills.

This is what Qi Jiguang really wants to do. These things are incompatible with the original Mongolian army. They do not receive military pay and receive benefits from combat plunder. They are willing to obey orders when fighting, and when they do not fight, they will wander around with their own livestock. Unlike the troops of the Central Plains dynasty stationed in the camp, they have the opportunity to learn more.

In the integration, the two sides rewarded military merits that were most suitable for them and explored the ways of awarding official positions.

However, before finding a method that really suits them, the Ministry of Revenue still had to lead the troops to nomadic people, raising livestock while surveying and mapping the surrounding route maps.

The biggest difference from the previous one is that there are more connections between the Ministry of Revenue. All troops are like a large network covering the entire Yili River Valley.

In a short period of time, Qi Jiguang did not want to continue to fight westward. His soldiers were very tired, and the canned food was almost exhausted, and the gunpowder stock was seriously insufficient. He had to wait for the troops to make new canned food here, and also wait for the rear to send new gunpowder, as well as the large rear firearms, armor pieces, and spare parts for weapons.

The rear here refers to Tong Deng from Tubo.

They found the nitrate mine at Qijiaojing where Dayun defeated Ma Heima, and several nitrate mines and sulfur production areas that made gunpowder in Yarkand, Tubo in the past. Now he is making charcoal, and he is just waiting for the things to be delivered to replenish the gunpowder.

But it is dangerous to have nomadic borders without clarifying that land-owned land is a matter of danger, and disputes will break out if they are not careful, especially when both sides have force.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. Qi Jiguang is determined to rest here, but the subordinates on the front line pay back. To their west, a new war has begun, and their new opponent is the Kazakh Khanate.
