The war in the northwest progressed slowly, but Cao Bianjiao made rapid progress, and finally reached Almaty, the capital of the Kazakh Khanate.
The Kazakh Khanate has gathered heavy troops in Almaty.
This is the last line of defense and must not be missed.
The terrain of Almaty is steep, and even if the Ming army had artillery, it would be difficult to break through its city walls.
Naturally, Cao Bianjiao was unwilling to sacrifice human lives, so the two sides ended up in a stalemate outside the city.
A siege is a very troublesome thing for the attackers, because after the weather cools down, it is difficult to survive in tents outside the city, especially for the troops from the Ming Dynasty.
Although the equipment has sufficient Down jackets and duvets, but that kind of coldness cannot be resisted by just relying on clothes and quilts.
So next to the hill outside the city of Almaty, Cao Bianjiao led the Ming army to build another city, Daming City.
Daming City was mainly made of wood, and Kangs were built in the rooms, so that when it was cold, the room would still be as warm as spring after burning the Kangs.
The Junggar people, on the other hand, seem not to be affected by the severe cold at all.
They can withstand the winter with tents.
However, after Cao Bianjiao entered Batur's tent once and was driven out by the smell inside, he was no longer willing to enter the Waciren's tent.
The Mingwa coalition forces did not have the ability to surround the entire Almaty, but the people of the Kazakh Khanate also had no way to drive them away, so various agricultural and commercial activities could not be carried out normally.
This made the people of the Kazakh Khanate very angry.
The Kazakh Khanate had no choice but to send people to negotiate with the Mingwa coalition forces.
After discussing with Batur, Cao Bianjiao felt that the gains outweighed the losses by encircling him like this.
After asking for instructions from home, he decided to negotiate with the Kazakh Khanate.
The Ming Dynasty sent Li Delin as a negotiator and lived in the Kazakh Khanate to conduct negotiations.
Li Delin received instructions from the General Staff, and as soon as he arrived, he aggressively demanded that the Kazakh Khanate cede territory and pay compensation.
Although the Kazakhs were defeated in consecutive battles, their capital was safe and sound, and they felt somewhat confident.
They could cede territory, but there was no way to pay compensation.
Li Delin fulfilled his wish and reached an agreement with the Kazakh Khanate.
All the land of the original Junggar tribe was returned, and a large area from Hot Spring City to Tekli was newly designated for the Ming Dynasty.
Because there is no way for the Ming Dynasty to immigrate here, this place named Xining Prefecture is temporarily managed by the Junggar people.
The Kazakh Khanate agreed to allow Ming people to pass freely at the border with the Rakshasa Kingdom.
Both parties were very satisfied with this result.
Batur regained the land of Junggar, which further increased his prestige among the tribe.
Moreover, this enclave of the Ming Dynasty was temporarily managed by the Junggar tribe, which actually belongs to the Junggar tribe.
Same.
The Kazakh Khanate just returned the annexed Junggar territory and added a piece of land that had no output, so there was nothing wrong with it.
Daming got the nominal ownership of a piece of land, which seemed to be the least worthwhile, but Li Delin was very happy.
Because the Ming Dynasty values name, this land is now in the custody of the Junggar tribe.
When it is taken back, there may be disputes, and then there will be an excuse to conquer the Junggar tribe.
Cao Bianjiao's troops were ordered to rest and recuperate in Tiekeli and build a military fortress.
Then, after the weather warmed up, they continued north to join the troops in the Northern Naval District.
Li Delin informed Cao Bianjiao about the current situation in the Beihai Navy District.
Cao Bianjiao heard that the Chinese army had already reached thousands of miles to the west of the Beihai Sea.
He was extremely anxious, fearing that all the credit would be taken away by others.
Li Delin smiled and said: "I heard from His Majesty the Emperor that the area in the north is very big.
In the end, we will fight all the way to Europe.
The credit will be endless.
Moreover, the General Staff is discussing that the occupied areas will be named after the generals who led the troops.
Name it, and soon we will see that there is a place called Bianjiao City.”
Cao Bianjiao smiled and nodded, his heart was burning.
He knew that the general staff's plan was to attack from two routes.

He would be the coach of the south road, and his uncle would be the coach of the north road.
If the two cities were to be named after their uncle and nephew, If you name it, the ancestors of the Cao family will probably laugh out loud.
Li Delin added: "Scholar Lu said, the main thing for you is to be stable and not let the Kazakh Khanate fall to the Rakshasa Kingdom.
Build fortresses one by one to ensure the supply of food.
Even if it is unfavorable for a while, you can ensure a way out.
No worries.
His Majesty the Emperor is prepared to do so within ten years.
The General Staff is not yet confident enough to take over this land, which is larger than the mainland of Ming Dynasty.
Only where the railway is built can we implement effective management.
Judging from the construction situation, construction without interference is at least as good as It will take more than ten years to reach the Ural Mountains.”
Cao Bianjiao said: "After we leave the borders of the Kazakh Khanate, we can choose the direction we want to attack, right?"
Li Delin said: "The general staff's intention is to choose to go north as much as possible and rendezvous with the North Navy District first.
You will belong to the North Navy District when you arrive.
I know you are not willing to go north and work under your uncle."
Cao Bianjiao said: "I don't want people to gossip, as if I relied on my uncle to get promoted.
In fact, my uncle is much stricter on me than others, and he wants to take credit for my achievements."
Li Delin said: "General Cao doesn't want people to talk too much.
Besides, it's not easy for you to accumulate merit and be promoted.
By the way, I heard that your aunt had already made arrangements for you when I came here this time.
It’s a marriage, I heard that he is a relative of the eldest princess.”
Cao Bianjiao's expression changed greatly: "Does my uncle know about this?"
Li Delin smiled and said: "How can your aunt dare to make her own decisions without your uncle nodding?
What are you worried about?
Your Majesty has never been suspicious of the Guards."
Cao Bianjiao said: "This will make people gossip, and it will appear that our Cao family is clinging to powerful people.
It won't sound good if we talk about it."
Li Delin smiled and said: "What are you talking about?
Your Cao family is the powerful one now, okay?
They are just relatives of the eldest princess' husband's family.
The eldest princess's family is just a military region general.
They are no more than the same level as your uncle.
And no military region can compare with it now.
In the Beihai District, all domestic resources are tilted towards the North Sea.
This trend will not change within ten years.
I'm afraid more people will try to cling to you."
Cao Bianjiao shook his head and said: "My uncle told me that our Cao family should be simple.
Don't think about what we have and what we don't have.
We should fight the war first.
When there is no war in the world, we will disarm and return to the fields and wander in the woods."
Li Delin said: "In fact, the generals in all major military regions are similar now, because they are all close ministers of the emperor and understand the emperor's views on civil and military affairs.
When the war is over, most of them will make the same choice as General Cao.
But Changjiao, what do you think?
Can the war in this world be over?"
Cao Bianjiao thought for a while and said: "If all countries dare not fight back, naturally there will be no war."
Li Delin laughed and said: "That's good, then let's work together and beat all countries so that they don't dare to fight back
