Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1755, God's Whip

In the city of Moscow, the capital of the Principality of Moscow.

"Everyone's news has been confirmed. The [-] troops of the Ming Empire swept over in three directions. They have wiped out the Kazan Khanate and the Ilkhanate. Just a few days ago, the Crimean Khanate was also destroyed by the Ming Dynasty. People were defeated and had to choose to move west.”

"The Principality of Ryazan has been surrounded by the Ming people. It will not take a few days for the army of the Ming people to arrive at the city of Moscow."

In the hall, as a minister uttered the latest news, the entire hall fell silent.

Daming people are too powerful, and their speed is too fast!

Starting from the destruction of the Kazan Khanate, the Ming people swept all the way from the east. Wherever they passed, they were invincible and invincible. In less than half a month, the two Khanates were destroyed, and the Ryazan Principality At stake, the powerful Crimean Khanate was also beaten by the Ming people and had to move westward.

Soon it will be their turn to the Principality of Moscow, and they can even imagine the scene of the Ming army approaching the city.

"Grand Duke, we should surrender to the Ming people immediately, present generous gifts and beauties, and express our surrender to the Ming people, otherwise, once the Ming army reaches the city of Moscow, we will die without a place to die."

Oleg stood up and said that he is a nobleman belonging to Moscow, and now he is very afraid of war. The Tatars have already given them a headache. The Ming people, who are stronger than the Tatars, cannot be resisted by the Muscovites.

It's better to surrender to the Ming people early, just like the Mongols back then. There is nothing wrong with bowing to the Mongols. As long as you give them time, they can still grow stronger slowly, and finally defeat the Mongols in the same way. .

"I object. The Ming people's Western Expedition certainly doesn't mean that you can stop them if you surrender. No one knows the purpose of the Ming people's Western Expedition. Our surrender has no effect or meaning."

"We should unite the whole of Europe to resist the Ming people, just like we did against the Mongols back then."

Demeter immediately objected.

He was a close minister of Vasily III and also a Byzantine minister left by Basil III's mother, the Byzantine princess Sophia.

Different from the prudence of Vasily III's father, Ivan III, Vasily III has always been arbitrary, trying his best to suppress the traditional nobles and ministers of the Principality of Moscow, and reuse Byzantine close ministers.

"We can't beat the Daming people at all, the Daming people are too powerful!"

"You didn't even fight, how do you know you won't be able to fight?"

"The Principality of Poland-Lithuania has agreed to send troops to support us, and the Grand Duke has also ordered the conscription from all over the country to prepare for a showdown with the Ming people."

"In addition, the Habsburg family in Austria also expressed that they will fully support us and will unite with many countries to send troops to resist the Ming people. We will definitely be able to defeat the Ming people."

"Since you have already discussed it, why did you call us over to discuss it? You can decide for yourself."

The ministers and nobles of the traditional faction were extremely angry.

For a long time, the Grand Duke summoned the noble ministers to hold the noble Duma to discuss important events on the Principality of Moscow side.

Ivan III used to do this, so he was able to unite the power of the entire Principality of Moscow, and continuously annexed other principalities around him, which strengthened the strength and influence of the Principality of Moscow, making the Principality of Moscow the most powerful now. Principality.

But Vasily III was different. He acted arbitrarily, trusted Byzantine officials, and used high-pressure measures against noble ministers. This has long made everyone dissatisfied.

Now that the Ming people came over, they were still so arbitrary, which made these noble ministers extremely dissatisfied.

If you want everyone to contribute money and efforts, you don't even have an attitude to discuss it. How can everyone be of one mind with you?

On the throne, Vasily III is also very troubled now.

The Principality of Moscow has been plundered very severely and severely by the Tatars for a long time. A large number of people passed away at the gate, and the national strength was extremely weak.

Now the Daming people even went on stage by themselves, sweeping from east to west, no one knew what the Daming people were going to do?
Now that the news is spreading, the whole of Europe is in panic, and everyone is afraid and worried, calling out that the whip of God is coming again and punishing the Europeans again.

He needs the support of these noble ministers very much now, and needs their money and efforts, but he doesn't want them to dictate everything about him. He is not Ivan III, and he is not so cautious. If you don't accept it, I will beat you.

This has always been the strategy of Vasily III, adopting a high-pressure ruling method, suppressing these noble ministers inside, and concentrating power on himself.

"Why did the Ming people attack us?"

"They don't lack land or wealth, they have whatever they want, and they come to attack us for no reason."

Vasili III really couldn't figure it out, why the Ming people wanted to attack themselves and expand their land to the west. Their country was already very big, but they were still not satisfied.

"Quiet~"

"Everyone prepares for battle immediately and concentrates all our forces to defend Moscow. We must defeat the Ming people no matter what. We must never submit to anyone again."

Seeing the arguing ministers, Vasili III gave the order directly, and I am too lazy to discuss with you, just follow what I said.

In Vilnius, the capital of the Principality of Lithuania, Grand Duke Ostrogski of Lithuania is convening his ministers to discuss how to deal with the Western Expedition of the Ming Dynasty.

"The news is completely certain. The Ming people indeed dispatched [-] troops to attack Eastern Europe. The Kazan Khanate and the Ilkhanate have been destroyed. The Crimean Khanate has been defeated. They are already heading towards Hungary and the Danube River Basin. migration."

"According to the information we have received, the Daming army is very powerful, all equipped with a new type of musket, with extremely fast firing speed, long range and high accuracy."

"Almost completely defeated the hundreds of thousands of Tatar cavalry of the Crimean Khanate with zero casualties."

"They are currently besieging Ryazan, the capital of the Ryazan Principality."

"The Grand Duke of Moscow hopes that we can put aside our past grievances and join forces to deal with the Ming people, just like how the whole of Europe dealt with the Mongols who marched west. Otherwise, the whole of Europe is very likely to be conquered by the Ming people."

His minister Pskov announced the big news to everyone.

"The whip of God is coming again to us Europeans!"

"And this time, it's even more terrifying. The Ming people are stronger and more terrifying than the Mongols in history."

"God, why punish us like this!"

When the ministers under him heard this, they couldn't help crying out in mourning.

Not long ago, they were still competing with the Principality of Moscow for the land in the eastern region and for Smolensk, and now they are going to send troops to help the Principality of Moscow again in a blink of an eye.

Can we not send troops?
It seems to be impossible, the threat of the Ming people is too great, no one knows where the Ming people are planning to stop this time, whether they occupy the Principality of Moscow or continue to expand to Lithuania and Poland .

What's more, no one wants to be neighbors with such a powerful empire as Da Ming, and they might send troops to destroy you if they are in a bad mood.

The Ming Empire dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn. In comparison, they were much poorer, and they could only dispatch tens of thousands of troops in several wars, which was not of the same order at all.

What's even more frightening is that the Ming army is equipped with a large number of new rifles and powerful cannons. At the same time, it has the tradition of cavalry that nomadic tribes have always had, and is very fast.

It takes courage to be a neighbor with such a powerful enemy, and it takes a lot of courage to be an enemy with them.

Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.

Selim I looked at the latest intelligence news received in disbelief.

"The Ming defeated the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Crimean Khanate with zero casualties?"

"how can that be!"

"This is absolutely impossible. Even though the Ming army is powerful, it is impossible to defeat the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Crimean Khanate with zero casualties."

"The Tatar cavalry is definitely one of the best cavalry in the world. What's more, hundreds of thousands of cavalry attacked the Daming army. Even if they were defeated, there were almost zero casualties. This is impossible."

Selim I couldn't believe this fact at all, because he even had the strength and fear of the Tatar cavalry, which was a truly powerful army across the grasslands. Even if the Ottoman Empire wanted hundreds of thousands of Tatar cavalry from the opponent, it might take several With an army of [-], it is possible to win only by paying an extremely heavy price.

As for the Ming people, it is said that the Crimean Khanate, which was killed by only 2 musketeers and [-] cavalry, was defeated and had to move westward. Now it has also entered the Danube River Basin controlled by the Ottoman Empire.

"Great Sultan, but this is the truth!"

The elderly Ali Pasha said helplessly: "The people of Ming Dynasty are too powerful. The [-] army is invincible. I don't know how many countries will be wiped out this time."
