my days with tyrants

Chapter 354 Imperial Ambitions
[-] can be said to be the most elite cavalry of this era, drowning Salechuk in a blink of an eye

There are not many young people here at all.

This is equivalent to the territory of Yedige. After the collapse of the Golden Horde in the original history, this is the separate Nogai Khanate, and Nogai Khan is his descendant. Then the Nogai Khanate was annexed by Russia. His descendants With the title of prince, he became the top wealthy family in Russia.It can be said that this grassland is his backing and the support of his current power, so most of the young and strong were recruited to follow him to besiege Beergosarai. He never thought that the Ming army would kill him from thousands of miles away. Come……

No army from the Han Dynasty has ever arrived here.

Even if it starts from Suiye, it will take four thousand miles to get here. The army of the Han Dynasty is the limit to reach the Aral Sea.

And between the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea there are nearly a thousand miles of semi-desert hills, which are actually deserts in modern geography.

The size of the Barsuki Desert.

In the end, his carelessness led to the so-called destruction of his lair.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was already very cruel, showed his bloodthirsty nature to the fullest in this small town.

After traveling for thousands of miles, the Ming army finally found some decent prey, killing in this city like a carnival...

Those who can come to the Western Regions are actually not good birds. Those who keep their own place will not come to the Western Regions. Zhu Yuanzhang’s Western Regions guards are just a patchwork of bragging from the military households, coaxing those who are full of livestock women and gold and silver treasures. Find those in prison who are willing to move westward in lieu of punishment...

That's all he can do.

Good people, who would want to leave their hometown and go thousands of miles away?
Then such a group of hungry wolves followed a brutal commander, which was really comparable to the Mongolian army that went west. In the end, the entire Salechuk could be said to have nothing but women and children.

Even the city was burned by them.

Yedi's wealth and women were all enjoyed by Zhu Gaoxu.

Although this did lead to the desperate resistance of the Nogai people, it was of no use. After all, the power they could use to resist was insignificant. Zhu Gaoxu led sixteen camel cities, and his father helped Tuo Tuo lost and defeated Ye Di should also Only used five.The camel cities on the Nuogai Grassland moved forward one by one. The biggest advantage of this thing is that it can keep moving in formation. The camels loaded with rapid-fire guns and ammunition supplies maintain the most complete square formation, and the people riding horses in the middle The soldiers moved at a speed of nearly a hundred miles per day during the drive.Once encountering an enemy, they immediately use their genetically-engraved anti-wind and sand instinct, quickly lie down on the spot and turn into a castle, and the nomadic cavalry they need to fight can hardly hurt them...

Nothing more than bows and arrows.

These camels are burdened with all kinds of mess, and their skin is rough and fleshy, and they are also big. It is not a big deal to suffer from a few arrows.

As for shooting at close range...

Let's talk about those nomadic cavalry who have the ability to rush to close range with the rapid-fire guns spraying shotgun.

Sixteen camel cities plus the accompanying hussars, this is similar to the Hungarian hussars, fast horse scimitars with short guns and bows and arrows, dedicated to clearing the surrounding raids for the camel city, or expanding the results of the battle after the enemy is defeated.

Armored cavalry, this is armored cavalry, although they are not many in number, they are the most terrifying force on the battlefield.

The current Ming Army Camel City Cavalry has a truly complete organization system, and has actually formed a brigade-level combat unit.

That is to say, with one or several camel cities as the core, plus hussars and armored cavalry, and artillery, including mortars and field artillery, commanded by a general, this is the case for several guards in the Western Regions. A brigade-level soldier plus auxiliary soldiers.

And unlike the original history that the Ming army lowered its requirements for armor after entering the firearms, now they are all pursuing plate armor. The reason is of course very simple. They basically use firearms to crush the enemy when they go out now, and their enemies are still Cold weapons are the main ones, so of course they should be armored as much as possible.

After all, it still feels good to listen to the armor on the body bounce off the enemy's arrows, and then bombard the enemy with artillery.

However, Zhu Gaoxu did not directly report to Beer Gosarai, but led the Ming army to sweep the Ural River and the Caspian Sea. He is qualified as a general. After all, he was also his father's main thug in history, and his lack of political acumen did not hinder him. military mind.He led an army of [-] expeditions of [-] miles, and had crossed thousands of miles of desert before that. Although he was invincible by abuse of vegetables, he knew very well that he could only abuse vegetables now. Once he really faced the enemy's army, it would still be very dangerous.

He needs to rest.

The Ural River is a good resting place.

While restoring those camels and war horses, while letting the soldiers sweep around, both physical and mental states can be restored.

As for the enemy...

Just wait.

It's not him who is in a hurry now.

There is still more than 1000 miles between him and his father. If he is faster, he can reach the city of Beergosarai in less than ten days.

What should be anxious is Yedi.

After hearing the bad news, Yedigai was indeed furious, and then, regardless of Shadi Behan's opposition, he was about to lead his Nogai cavalry back to the division, but at this time another bad news came, Guilichi, Mahamu He Taiping's three allied forces arrived in Kazan, and Guilichi, as a descendant of Wo Kuotai, had been appointed by the Ming Emperor as the patriarch of the Golden Family...

Appointed by imperial decree.

After all, Wo Kuotai was the second Mongolian Khan.

And he specially gave it to Guili Chi Jinjue County King. After all, he has made meritorious service in recruiting others all these years, so now he is the King of Loyalty and Justice of Ming Dynasty.

The Golden Family has been in constant disputes for 200 years, and even killing each other has become a practice. Now that most of them have surrendered to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has the responsibility to consider their future.

There must be a rule for them.

Therefore, they specially compiled genealogy, set up family rules, and appointed patriarchs for them.

In order to avoid people always falsely claiming to be the Golden Family in the future.

Then, according to this genealogy, you can make Tweet Orders in various ministries, that is, continue to divide the pastures. If a chief of a large tribe dies, all his sons can get a part of his original pastures, and the Emperor Ming can also give them all. Nobility, and even salaries, anyway, Daming's salary is nothing more than money.In the words of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, it is to let every member of the Golden Family have their own pasture and their own titles, and let the Golden Family and Daming live together with the country...

My Emperor Shengming!
So kind.

Following such a good emperor, the blessings of the golden family at that time were blessed by the spirit of Genghis Khan in heaven!

Buddha and Longevity are blessing.

So now Guilichi is here as the patriarch of the Golden Family to announce the decree and resolve disputes for Jochi Ulus.

Of course, before resolving the dispute, members of the Golden Family of Jochi Ulus had to surrender to Daming first, and Tutuo Milo had already surrendered to Daming. King Shunyi's.Chagatai’s descendants are King Gaochang, King Zhongshun, and Wo Kuotai’s descendants are King Zhongyi. In addition, the Mongolian Great Khan Elbek also became the king of the county. He is the king of Hue, and he is the Tuo Lei family. Daming finally got together the four major systems of the Golden Family.In addition, the original Shuchi Urus or the Golden Horde Khanate was divided into five commanders and envoys. Among them, the east of the Ural Mountains, that is, Siberia, was under the jurisdiction of King Yan, and the other four were Eastern European parts, including theoretically The Grand Duchy of Moscow, which still belongs to the Golden Horde, and Kiev, which has been occupied by Lithuania, even further south.

Of course, Ming Dynasty had to use the map of the largest period of the Golden Horde.

In short, this area was divided into four commanding divisions and then under the control of King Shunyi.

In this way, the Golden Horde returned to Daming.

This does not conflict with the fact that Zhu Di will return the fiefdom to King Yan if he grabs it.

One day Tuotuo will be lost and betray Daming...

He will definitely betray.

Don’t say that a person like him will be betrayed when necessary. Even if he is not betrayed, he will betray Daming sooner or later. How can this kind of hero really submit to Daming? He just wants to temporarily use Zhu Di’s hand to take back the Golden Horde Khan As long as the Eastern Europe Plain is in his hands, he will eventually develop a disobedience, and at that time Zhu Di can do whatever he wants to deal with him.

But now Shadi Behan and Yedi should face the enemies coming from two directions at the same time.

And there was Zhu Di in front of them.

It is impossible to break through Beer Gosarai in the forward direction, and Zhu Gaoxu's army will attack their back at any time. In the backward direction, they have to face Zhu Di's exit from the city. They were pressing against them from three directions at the same time, but their strength could only deal with one direction. Even if Guilichi had [-] nomadic cavalry, Di Ge could barely win if they really fought.

But it is impossible to eliminate.

So now they have only one option left...

Batu Sarai.

Here in the north of Astrakhan.

Sarai is a Persian language palace. The one built by Batu is called Batu Sarai, and the one built by Berge is called Bergosarai. This place was also massacred during the last Timur attack, and was almost completely abandoned afterwards.

In order to coax Bayezid, Timur has always claimed to be in Georgia, and even sent people to threaten Sivas, the Ottoman border fortress. At the same time, he sent envoys to Bayezid and spat at each other with letters. Has gone north and established a camp here.His and Yedi's plan was to use the cannon fodder captured by Georgia and Armenia to consume the ammunition in Zhu Di's hands to the maximum, and then when Zhu Di returned east, the army led by Timur suddenly burst out.

Zhu Di had to go here when he came back from the east.

The large cavalry had to go down along the Volga River to the east, because there was no river directly to the east, and the livestock had no place to drink water. There was enough pasture along the Volga River, and then went north along the Caspian Sea to Astrakhan. Low salt content, close to fresh water, can barely drink.

The [-] Timur army ambushing in the swamp along the Volga River can complete the ambush against Zhu Di.

After defeating Zhu Di, Timur will obtain a large number of firearms, new armor, and the army of the Golden Horde, and then leave and return to attack Ottoman. At that time, he will use more than twice the strength and a large number of firearms And the new type of armor, enough to complete the fatal blow to Bayezid.After solving Bayezid, he will also get Ottoman's army, so that he can conquer the fourth capital of Ming Dynasty, whose strength has been greatly reduced due to the annihilation of Zhu Di's army.

Take down these four capitals and talk about others.

In other words, looking at the progress of Jianwen in the future, if Jianwen goes north to attack the capital because of this, Timur will just continue to go east to knock on Guanjiayu.

but……

Zhu Di just won't leave!
Now the weather can return to the east, and Yedi's consecutive offensives have failed, at least it seems that he is unable to continue fighting.

But Zhu Di just didn't come out.

And now Zhu Di is not leaving, but his son and Gui Lichi are here.

"Sudan, you can't wait any longer. If you wait, the hearts of the people will disperse. The Ming army in the east is [-]. We were defeated by Zhu Di with [-] Ming troops. All the ministries are afraid of their camel city firearms. Now they are [-]. It is said that the light camel There are only sixteen cities. They don't even have the guts to fight. Even Shadibe doesn't want to fight anymore. He wants to lead his men to retreat to the west of the Volga River and let Zhu Di and the others leave. Those Russians have already started to flee.

You must attack Sarychuk immediately, and only your open participation will convince the ministries that we can win and continue the fight. "

Ye Di should say.

Indeed, their problem now is not how to fight, or even whether they can win.

It's about how to stabilize people's hearts.

The cavalry led by Shadi Behan was defeated by Zhu Di with five camel cities. The horror of the firearms of the Ming army had already been spread during this period. The Golden Horde is nothing more than a collection of tribes and tribes. It is difficult for them to say that they are a country with a complete ruling system in the true sense.Moreover, the Mongols, Turks, Russians, and other messy ethnic groups are not a family. They couldn't even defeat the five camel cities before, but now there are sixteen of them.

How to win this.

Why keep fighting if you can't win?

It’s not that there is no way out, there is still a vast grassland to the west of the Volga River, even if Zhu Di leaves with the harvest, it won’t affect everyone’s continued nomadic pastoralism.

It's not even a big deal if Tuotuo gets lost and wants to be a sweat in the Golden Horde...

He is!

It doesn’t even matter if he professed his vassal to the Ming emperor, he was so far away, besides, it’s not that the Golden Horde didn’t profess his vassal to the emperor in the east, even though it was the Mongolian Khan, but now the Ming Dynasty has captured the Mongolian Khan to dance in the capital Now, if such a powerful monarch becomes a minister, let him be a minister!

No shame!
That being the case, these tribes, Russian princes, why should they continue to fight against such an invincible enemy for the sake of Shadibe and Yedi, and finally let their young and strong become cannon fodder?
People are scattered.

Now there is only one way to stabilize people's hearts and make these messy tribes and Russian princes believe that Yedi and Shadi will not be the winners again, that is, Timur no longer hides, no longer continues to play his loyal minister of Ming Dynasty, and directly discloses Join the battle.His prestige has suppressed the Western Regions for decades, and the Golden Horde also regarded him as invincible. As long as he publicly participated in the war and supported Yedige and Shadibie, these people would regain their fighting spirit.
