Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 329 "Lost Treaty"

Although the tentacles of the Raksha people's expansion to the east were interrupted, Tangning was obviously still not satisfied, and stepped up support to the Gaoyi Gong Department, including some surrendered Cossack cavalry, with 5000 troops.

Obviously, through the Cossacks to persuade the Cossacks to surrender, the effect is obviously much stronger. Tangning also wanted to use Ainengqi's method of persuading the Cossacks to continue to carry forward Gao Yigong.

Gao Yigong's current combat target is the Raksha people who perished in the Subier Khanate half a century ago.

The Shibier Khanate was separated from the Golden Horde Khanate established by the Mongols, east of the Ural Mountains.

Although the country is vast, it is sparsely populated, only about 20, due to the fact that it is mostly a bitterly cold place, and its development is backward.

Therefore, when the Raksha people recruited less than 1000 Cossack cavalry with only one feudal lord, they defeated it and occupied its capital.

Since the territory of the Shibier Khanate has been annexed by the Raksha Kingdom for half a century, and this is not the core of the Raksha people's rule, and the living conditions are poor, it is still sparsely populated, and the Raksha people garrison troops are also very small. limited.

The Cossacks who invaded the Tukhurt tribe immediately asked for help after several defeats. The nearest ones were naturally the garrisons in the occupied area of ​​the Shibier Khanate.

However, due to the limited strength of troops, it was impossible to mobilize many troops. For the tens of thousands of Ming troops, it was a drop in the bucket, so they had to ask the Romanov dynasty for help.

During half a century of eastward expansion, the Romanov dynasty did not encounter too much trouble. They always believed that their main enemies were the major powers in the west, but they did not expect that in the far east, there would be an army that would dare to counterattack Rakshasa country.

Tsar Alexei I was very angry. In response to the situation of the Ming army in the request for help, he sent [-] troops to support him, preparing to destroy the strength of the Ming army in one fell swoop and stabilize the situation in the east, so that he could deal with other things wholeheartedly.

Because for Alexei I, taking advantage of the civil strife in the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania to intervene and destroy the opponent who has threatened the Romanov dynasty the most for decades is the top priority.

Therefore, at the beginning of the civil strife in the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, he paid full attention to it, and quickly intervened only when the opportunity was favorable.

But the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania was so powerful that even if there was civil strife, a lean camel would be bigger than a horse, so Alexei I did not dare to be careless, he had to prepare wholeheartedly, and other things became relatively secondary.

In this situation, under the order of Alexei I, reinforcements were sent, [-] reinforcements.

Of course, these [-] reinforcements will not be the strongest elite of the Raksha Kingdom, but only second-rate troops, but the Tsar thinks this is enough, and with the addition of the troops fighting the Ming army on the front line, the number of troops is already close to that of the Ming army. twice as much.

But he didn't know that under Tangning's auspices, the Ming army sent reinforcements before Gao Yigong asked for help.

And one month after Alexei I sent reinforcements, the further Yakutsk Governor's Mansion also requested emergency assistance, and the situation became more urgent. This suddenly made Alexei I feel a little bad, and felt that things might not be his own. As simple as imagined.

But he changed his mind, if the [-] to [-] Romanov army could not defeat the Ming army with fewer troops, then there was no need to waste too many troops in the east.

Therefore, Alexei I did not send any more reinforcements, and even ignored the request of the Governor's Office of Yakutsk, because Yakutsk was too far away for him.

Judging from the request for help information, the Ming army sent tens of thousands of troops, and at least tens of thousands of reinforcements were sent.

Such a long distance, with tens of thousands of people on an expedition, would take an indefinite amount of time, and there are so many bad places along the way, I don't know how much troops will be reduced.

In case the reinforcements finally arrive, but the city has already fallen, it will definitely be a disaster for the reinforcements.

Therefore, for Alexei I, the risk of supporting Yakutsk was too great to be worth it.

What's more, those people are either felons or uncontrolled Cossacks, even if they lose, they don't need to be too heartbroken.

Compared with Yakutsk, the Ming army that is counterattacking the Shibier Khanate is more threatening.

If the Ming army is defeated and the Ming army is forced to accept negotiations and let them all retreat, even if Yakutsk is occupied by the Ming army, they can spit it out at that time.

Therefore, Alexei I decided to focus on the results of the battle between the eastern Ural Mountains and the Ming army first, and then make other decisions.

Therefore, he did not send another reinforcement, but sent a reconnaissance team to collect intelligence to pay close attention to this battle.

However, when the reconnaissance team representing the tsar arrived, the battle was over and ended in a disastrous defeat for the tsar's army.

One of the big reasons is the rebellion of the Cossacks. Thousands of Cossacks suddenly appeared in the Ming army. They helped the Ming army fight and tried to publicize the strength of the Ming army to the compatriots on the opposite side, persuading them to surrender.

In this way, while the Ming army fought and persuaded to surrender, the frontline army was wiped out before the reinforcements arrived.

Then, the descending army told the Ming army about the Tsar's reinforcements, and then cooperated with the Ming army to set a trap for the reinforcements. The reinforcements who were not aware of it were caught off guard.

In addition, they don't know much about all aspects of the Ming army, but the Ming army is very familiar with them.

In such a situation of mental calculation and unintentional, the support army sent by the tsar was [-] empty, but it was not at all an opponent of the Ming army and the surrendered Cossacks.

After knowing that they were in an ambush, they collapsed without resistance. Less than [-] people fled in a hurry, and almost lost all their weapons and supplies.

In this way, the war that the tsar had hoped for came to an end in such a tragic way. When the news came back, the Ming army had almost swept through the former Subier Khanate.

Alexei I was greatly shocked. He did not expect such a powerful force to suddenly appear in the far east. It was really not the right time.

Under the current situation, Alexei I was really unwilling to devote too much power to those bitter cold places in the east, after all, that was not the core of the interests of the Romanov dynasty.

In the end, Alexei I gritted his teeth and endured his anger, and sent envoys to negotiate with the Ming army.

Tang Ning accepted the Raksha people's negotiations, and finally the two sides signed the "Subier Treaty", using the Ural Mountains as the boundary to delineate the border between the two parties. The Raksha Kingdom recognized Ming's occupation of all areas east of the Ural Mountains.

Tangning's goal has been achieved for the time being, and she never thought of going to war with the Raksha Kingdom right now, so she also approved the treaty.

This treaty is naturally a great shame to the proud Raksha people, but for the greater good, they can only endure it now, and don't want to be caught in a two-front battle.

As for Tangning, the initial goal of the Northern Expedition had been achieved, so she quickly turned her attention to the south.

Ming's infiltration of America, especially Mexica, has aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Spaniards. The two sides had several conflicts in the Americas, and they had turned against each other.

That being the case, Tangning didn't have to be polite, and was going to tear down the Spaniard's stronghold in the Far East.

For this point, the Portuguese agree and support it very much. They are the big sufferers.

After all, they used to exist on an equal footing with Spain, and the two parties divided the world into two very generously and divided their spheres of influence.

As a result, the Kingdom of Portugal slowly declined, and was even once occupied by the Kingdom of Spain, and it was only ten years ago that it got rid of the Spanish rule.

Now, the Kingdom of Portugal has established a good relationship with the Ming Empire, and has gained a lot of benefits from following the Ming Empire. The development of the Kingdom is also flourishing. On the other hand, the Kingdom of Spain has been going downhill.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, if you don't make a move, you will be too sorry for yourself, not to mention there is the Ming Empire backing you up.
