Chapter 1349, The Siberian Khanate

On the grassland on the northern border of the Kazakh Khanate, an army of [-] people is marching toward the north.

Although it is still midsummer, the dimension here is high, not only can't feel the slightest heat, but even the slightest chill invades.

This [-]-strong army is all composed of cavalry, but it also uses a carriage to tow more than [-] artillery pieces. The destination of their trip is the Siberian Khanate on the vast Siberian grasslands east of the Ural Mountains.

The Siberian Khanate, like the Kazan Khanate, is a small Khanate split from the Golden Horde Khanate, regardless of its extremely vast area and vast territory.

But the population is very small, less than 20 people, mainly Tatars, Osgarks, and Voguls, and the nobles and upper rulers of the Khanate are a small number of Mongols .

Because the entire Khanate is located in a bitterly cold place, the dimensions are too large. Although the land is vast, it is sparsely populated. It is mainly engaged in nomadic farming, hunting, reindeer, and beekeeping. The productivity is very backward, and only a small amount of metal can be smelted.

Khan and his princes, lords, and chiefs constituted the ruling class, while the majority of civilians belonged to the ruled class. At the same time, there were still a large number of slavery remnants and the primitive communal system.

There are many internal conflicts among the various tribes, princes, and chiefs, and there are endless internal strife and disputes.

Generally speaking, this is an extremely poor land, sparsely populated, and sparsely populated.

But in any case, this is an extremely vast land, although it is too cold, it seems that there is nothing special, and there is no great value.

But to the Ming Empire, it was like a stone that entered its eyes. Most of the entire Ural Mountains to the Caucasus region had already fallen into the hands of the Ming Empire.

Once the Kazakh Khanate perished, only the Siberia Khanate remained. The Ming Empire would naturally not let him go, destroy the Siberia Khanate, and merge this vast land into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. The entire northern part of Asia All fell into Daming's hands.

It is enough to dispatch an army of [-] people to destroy the Siberian Khanate, and of course it does not intend to carry out mass killings like the Kazakh Khanate here.

The main thing is to conquer the entire Siberian Khanate, conquer all the tribes here, large and small, and bring them into the rule of Ming Dynasty.

In such a bitterly cold place, if Ming Dynasty wanted to develop and consolidate its rule here, it is estimated that some towns dedicated to exile prisoners would definitely be established at that time, and these towns would be used to control this vast land.

"It's really uninhabited. Within the range of hundreds of miles, there is not even the slightest human habitation."

Han Yi rode on his tall horse, and looked around with a telescope as he advanced. In the endless wilderness, he couldn't see any human beings.

"General, the dimension of this area is too high. It's midsummer now, but it's already feeling cool here."

"If the dimension is too high, it will be difficult for crops to grow, and the population will naturally be small, which is suitable for the survival of nomadic tribes. If you continue to the north, the dimension will be higher and the weather will be colder."

"Such a place is like the vast area north of Beihai and Congling. There is no human habitation at all. Even if there is, it is an extremely small number of primitive tribes who live by hunting and reindeer."

Beside Han Yi, Huo Yun said with a smile.

Officers who graduated from military academies must learn geography, and they must have a relatively advanced level.

"Such barren land is not of much value to us Ming Dynasty."

Han Yi nodded slightly, looked at the desolate land in front of him, shook his head and said.

"Then how to look at this land."

"Although it doesn't seem to be of much value now, this Siberian Khanate is like a sand that has entered the eyes of my Ming Empire, and it will naturally be rubbed out."

"Destroy this Siberian Khanate, and the entire vast area to the north will belong to our Ming Dynasty."

"I heard from some fur traders that the furs of the Siberian Khanate are very good. There are mink, deerskin, bear, wolf, tiger, etc., all kinds, and the quality is very good."

Huo Yun replied with a smile all over his face.

"That's right, I'm trying to get a mink coat. It seems that this trip will not be in vain."

When Han Yi heard this, he also laughed.

He didn't pay much attention to destroying the Siberian Khanate, nor did he find it difficult.

Although the many tribes living in the Siberian Khanate are said to be very good at fighting, they are nothing compared to the [-] soldiers under him. What's more, no matter how powerful the fighters are, they can't stop the muskets and cannons. .

It should be a very easy thing to destroy the Siberian Khanate. As for conquering the many tribes here, it must not be too difficult.

"Let's speed up the march. It's still midsummer and it's not cold here. Let's finish the mission early so that we can return to Ili earlier for the winter."

"I don't want to winter in this desolate place!"

Han Yi slightly tightened his clothes, it was indeed cold here, even in midsummer he could feel a little bit of chill, one could imagine how cold it would be in winter.

……

Chengji-Tula, the capital of the Siberian Khanate (near the Tyumen city of Maoxiong later), Chengji-Tula is a very small city, with only more than [-] people living, and the city walls are not high.

The people living here are mainly the ruling class of the Siberian Khanate, tribal leaders, chiefs, etc., and it is also the main economic and commodity trading place of the Siberian Khanate.

People from the Principality of Moscow and Tatars from Eastern Europe, Kazakhs, Mongols, Persians, and Ottomans from the south, and Ming businessmen from the east.

They came here with all kinds of goods, and then exchanged the goods for horses, furs and medicinal materials here. Among them, fur is the main trading commodity here and is very popular among merchants from all over the world.

At this time, in the very center of the city, Khan Murtazhan of the Siberian Khanate was receiving several tribal leaders from the Kazakh grassland.

"Respected Khan, our Kazakh Khanate was invaded by the Ming Empire, and the Ming people burned, killed and looted our Kazakh Khanate. We really have no way to enter your country, please take us in, and we will live forever I am loyal to you, and I am willing to be your eagle dog, hunt for you, become a sharp sword in your hand, and destroy your enemies!"

Several tribal leaders from the Kazakh Khanate knelt down at the knees of Murtaza Khan, begging Murtaza Khan to take them in and allow them to live in this vast Siberian grassland.

They really had no choice, the beautiful and rich Kazakh prairie would definitely not be able to go back, the Ming people were like vultures in the sky, chasing them like shadows, wantonly killing and plundering their cattle, sheep and women.

If the few tribes hadn't escaped quickly, they would have been completely wiped out by the Ming people like other tribes, and completely disappeared in the long river of history.

Although the Siberian Khanate here is cold and barren, far inferior to their Kazakh grasslands, it is still a place to stay. As long as they are allowed to stay, in terms of the number of their tribes, they will soon become the most powerful people in the Siberian Khanate. A powerful tribe, it is hopeless to replace it in the future.

Murta Zahan also seemed very hesitant at this moment, not knowing what to do.

These Kazakhs entered their own khanate without their own permission. There are a large number of nearly [-] people. Such a large population is enough to form a huge impact on the sparsely populated Siberian khanate.

Although the leaders of these tribes in front of him knelt down at his feet to show their loyalty to him, Murtazahan knew very well that if he allowed them to gain a firm foothold here, he might have to kneel down to them in the future.

The Kazakhs are a nation on horseback. Since ancient times, it seems that only the Ming people have subdued them this time, otherwise they have never been afraid of anyone.

Even when Genghis Khan swept the world back then, the Kazakhs only surrendered to the Mongols, but they were not as embarrassed as they are today.

He really wanted to refuse and drive these Kazakhs out, but he couldn't do anything.

Although he ruled a vast territory, but the population is too small and internally divided, the number of people who really obey him is only tens of thousands, and the number of cavalry in his hands is less than [-]. It is only when the strong are gathered together.

The number of these Kazakhs in front of me is nearly [-]. Although they are all old people and children, and there are very few young and strong, there are still several thousand young and strong. If they really fight, they may not be able to win.

What's more, even if he wins the battle, it will only be cheaper in the end for those tribes in Khan who oppose him and let them take advantage of it.

After pondering for a long time, Murtazahan said: "In this case, you should go to the northernmost area of ​​the Khanate to resettle."

"Our Siberian Khanate is no different from your original Kazakh Khanate. It is very cold here, especially in winter. It is extremely cold. You may not be able to adapt. If you can adapt, I am very happy."

"Thanks to the great Khan for his kindness and gift~"

"We Kazakhs will never forget the kindness of the Great Khan from generation to generation, and will be loyal to you from generation to generation!"

When several tribal leaders heard this, they quickly expressed their loyalty.

In fact, this was expected. Even if Murtazahan was willing to accept them, he would definitely not be able to allocate any good places.

Of course, in their view, there are no good places in the entire Siberian Khanate, and the best places are the areas closest to the original Kazakh Khanate, but these areas have to face the front of the Ming people.

In some places in the north, although it is bitterly cold and difficult, it is acceptable to be farther away from the Ming people, but thinking of winter, the leaders of these tribes couldn't help but deeply frowned.

　In history, Maozi conquered the Siberian Khanate with [-] people and got this vast land. Oil and natural gas can't be sold~
