Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1754, Under Ryazan City

Ryazan Principality, on the banks of the Oka River.

The ancient Liangzan City has been surrounded by the Ming army at this moment, but the Ming army does not seem to be in a hurry to attack the city, they just surrounded it, and at the same time sent troops to sweep it in all directions. Wherever they passed, it was like locusts crossing the border , everything was completely destroyed.

People were captured as slaves, and then sold to slave traders, slave firms, houses, etc., which followed the army, and basically burned them clean, without any intention of leaving anything behind. plan.

The barbaric behavior makes it hard to believe that this is something that the army of the Ming Empire can do.

But the fact is that, as always, the order to clean the house is carried out to prepare for the later immigration.

Countless people panicked and continued to migrate westward, towards the Principality of Moscow and the Principality of Poland-Lithuania. The cruelty of the war was vividly reflected at this moment.

"About [-] south years ago, the Mongol Batu led a large army to besiege the Ryazan city in front of us. It took only six days to capture the Ryazan city in front of us, and then conquered the entire Slavs in three years."

"The Golden Horde established behind it ruled this vast land for nearly 200 years."

"The Mongols were amazing back then. They fought from the east to the west, destroyed the Song Dynasty, attacked the Middle East, and captured Persia."

"Wherever they go, it's like locusts crossing the border. All the cities are conquered by them. Those who voluntarily surrender can still live like dogs on their knees. If they dare to resist, they will immediately massacre the city."

Outside Liangzan City, Huo Yun rode on a tall horse, pointed at Liangzan City in front of him, and chatted with the generals around him about the history of Liangzan City.

"The Mongols are just barbaric butchers, they only know how to plunder, and they don't know how to manage and develop at all. They can only be strong for a while, and when they flourish and decline, they will immediately fall apart."

"War and killing are just a means, not an end. If you don't understand this, even if your force is strong for a while, it will soon decline completely."

Next to Huo Yun, Lieutenant Liang Yu said disdainfully.

As senior generals who graduated from the Royal Military Academy, they have many strict requirements for history, culture and other aspects, and they even have to have some understanding and opinions of their own.

"The biggest problem of the Mongol Empire back then was actually a common problem of grassland people. Every inch of land they built was only for horses, regardless of whether the land was suitable for horses or not."

"I heard my grandfather talk about something, about what my grandfather's grandfather experienced at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Back then, the Mongols turned the attached Jiangnan land into a pasture, killed all the people and buried them in the soil, saying that The grass that grows out is better."

"The Lianghuai area was originally a land of fish and rice. After decades of Mongolian rule, it became a barren land with no people in it."

"They are, as you say, brutal butchers."

Huo Yun nodded and said.

"The land they occupied was extremely vast. However, they followed the old path of nomads and entrusted all the land to their sons, so that the originally huge Mongolian Empire fell apart in an instant."

"In order to compete for the khanate, they attacked and killed each other, consuming their own internal strength. Without a clear succession system, the many khanates that were enfeoffed did not like each other."

"In addition, their population is small, and they only know how to herd cattle and sheep. They don't know anything else. They even need to rely on foreigners to collect taxes."

"The reason why the Moscow Principality is able to stand up now is entirely because they collected taxes for the Golden Horde back then. Relying on this power, they gradually became rich and became stronger, and finally fought with the Crimean Khan countries together and destroyed the Golden Horde.”

"The Mongol Empire of that year is now completely gone, and even the many remaining khanates have been completely wiped out by our Ming people."

Liang Yu nodded with a smile and sighed.

"Do we really have to wait for the Marshal's army to arrive before attacking the city?"

"With our speed, can we capture this city in one day?"

"if not?"

"Military orders are like mountains, and as soldiers, we can only carry out orders."

Huo Yun said helplessly.

According to his own marching speed, it is estimated that the city of Moscow has already been taken down. However, Zhu Houzhao issued an order from Marshal Zhu, so he can only slow down and wait for Zhu Houzhao.

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao was still very active in fighting the war, and he rushed here almost day and night, and it was estimated that he would arrive in Liangzan City in about two days.

"But in this case, the Principality of Moscow will have enough time to form a stronger army. By then, we may face a lot of trouble, and winter will soon be here. The winter here is very cold. We have to allow enough time to prepare for the winter."

Liang Yu thought for a while and said.

"The more armies they form, the better, so that they can be dealt with in one battle, saving them from running around."

"As for the winter, there is no need to worry at all. At worst, we will retreat to the Black Sea for the winter. If it doesn't work, we can also retreat to Nanyun Province for the winter."

"Furthermore, as long as there is enough food and supplies, there is nothing terrible to spend the winter in the city here. The logistics side has mobilized thousands of vehicles and thousands of four-wheeled carriages to transport supplies for us."

Huo Yun didn't seem to care, and he found that the fighting power of these enemies was simply too weak, even the Ottoman Empire back then was far inferior.

Most of them were still in the era of cold weapons, and they even launched a charge in the face of Daming's muskets and artillery, whether it was courting death or something.

The Slavs did have a lot of firearms, but compared with those of the Ming people, they were not much different from those of the Ming people. They swept all the way and did not encounter any decent opponents or battles.

Invincible, turbulent, and easy to come to the city of Ryazan.

He believed that even the so-called mighty Principality of Moscow was vulnerable to his own army. If they gathered together, they would be able to save a lot of trouble, and they could prepare for the winter if they settled everything at once.

Above the head of Ryazan city.

Grand Duke Ivan V of Ryazan~Ivanovich looked at the mighty Ming army outside the city, his face was ashen and ashen.

Everything came too fast.

When he was still sleeping soundly in his lover's arms, Liangzan City was surrounded by Daming people, and all the defenses of the entire Liangzan Principality seemed like paper in front of Daming people.

"Why did the Ming people attack us?"

Ivan V couldn't understand that there was an extremely long distance between Lianzan Duchy and the Ming Empire, yet the people of Daming came just as soon as they said it.

Just like the Mongols back then, they killed them all at once.

"I don't know. We have already sent people to negotiate with the people of Daming. I believe there will be a result soon."

The minister beside him, Romanovich, said quickly.

"Back then, the Mongols attacked Ryazan City, it is said that it was for the beauties here in Ryazan City. I don't know if the Ming people came here for our Ryazan beauties."

"In my opinion, we should prepare a batch of beauties for them. The Ming people are completely different from the Mongols back then. They are stronger and have extremely terrifying artillery. Once they attack the city, we will It might not last a day."

"Send a woman to a Daming man?"

"No, absolutely not. We Slavs will never do such a thing. Women cannot buy peace. Only the swords and guns in your hands can repel wolves and win peace and respect."

When Ivan V heard this, he immediately said resolutely: "The order continues, all men in the city must take up arms to protect our homes, wives and children."

"The Ming people are the most abominable slave traders. They partnered with the Tatars and sold off many of our people."

"Yes!"

When the other ministers heard this, they quickly saluted, and then went to convey Ivan V's order.

"Is there any news from the Principality of Moscow?"

"There is news. I heard that Grand Duke Vasily III of Moscow has recruited all the Slavs to prepare for a fight to the death with the Ming people, vowing to defend Moscow to the death."

"Furthermore, upon learning of the news of the Ming Empire's westward expedition, the Principality of Poland-Lithuania is also preparing to send troops to help. At that time, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Ming people."

"However, I heard that the Crimean Tatars in the south have been completely defeated by the Ming people, and they are migrating to Hungary and the Ottomans in the west."

"This time, it is said that the Ming army is divided into three groups, with a total of more than [-] troops marching westward. Their crown prince is the generalissimo of the western expedition. In addition, hundreds of warships from the Black Sea Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet have been mobilized, and thousands of ships have been conscripted. Merchant ships are used to transport troops and supplies."

Romanovich also quickly replied.

Now the news has spread, and the entire Eastern European region has suddenly fallen into endless panic.

People have recalled the scenes of history that the Mongols experienced when they conquered Europe more than [-] years ago. The Mongols at that time beat the Europeans fiercely like the whip of God, making the whole of Europe stronger for the Mongols. Completely subdued by the force of force.

This time, the Ming people were like the Mongols back then, with a large army suppressing the border and beating the Europeans again.

Unlike how little they knew about the Mongols back then, they knew a lot about the Ming people. They had already heard all kinds of rumors about the Ming Empire, and they knew the vastness, wealth and strength of the Ming Empire.

This put even greater pressure on them. Even the mighty Ottoman Empire was beaten by the Ming people and had to sign the alliance under the city. Can they beat the Ming people?
