Daming Crazy Emperor

The territory of the Siberian Khanate of several million square kilometers has only a few hundred thousand people!
This, is it possible?

Taichang was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "What do you think of Bianjiao's analysis? Is the Siberian Khanate really only a few hundred thousand people?"

Yuan Keli was the first to agree, "Your Majesty, I think Bianjiao's words are reasonable.

The population of this kind of bitter cold place is rare. When I took over Wen Guogong's mansion, I searched for more than half a year, and found less than [-] Ainu people in total. From this, we can see how many people there are in the bitter cold place. .

This Siberian Khanate is much colder than Wen Guogong's mansion, and it is quite good to have several 10 people. "

Cao Wenzhao followed suit and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, this barbarian land is not as prosperous as our own in the Ming Dynasty, and the New Yangzhou Mansion is bigger than Wen Guogong's mansion, and the people there were originally less than ten thousand. , not to mention the bitterly cold place in the extreme north.”

Uh, okay.

Hearing this, Taichang suddenly realized a problem.

His idea seems to be used as a reference for future generations.

There are at least tens of millions of people in Siberia in later generations, so he believes that no matter how bad the Siberian Khanate is, it must have at least a million people.

Most likely, he was wrong.

At this moment, there is no technology of later generations, and the Mongolian Yuan tribe can't even build warm rooms and kangs.

When the cold winter came, if they didn't migrate south, they would probably freeze to death here.

In other words, although the Siberian Khanate is large, the Mongolian and Yuan tribes can only continue to migrate back and forth because of the severe cold weather.

Calculated in this way, the land they can use is pitifully small, not even as good as the Chahar Grassland and the Horqin Grassland.

Therefore, the analysis of Cao Bianjiao, Yuan Keli, and Cao Wenzhao is very likely to be correct, and the Siberian Khanate may have a population of only a few hundred thousand.

If so, it would be easy to take down the Siberian Khanate.

There are 80 troops in the North Camp and Southeast Camp combined. Even if all the people have soldiers, they are not as many as them. Moreover, they also have Dai Zi rifles. Even if they are pure cavalry, they can crush their opponents.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help lowering his head to look at the map carefully.

According to the analysis of Cao Bianjiao, Yuan Keli, and Cao Wenzhao, there are no people in the north of the Siberian Khanate at this moment.

It is very likely that the people of the Siberian Khanate have gathered to the south of the area between the Hubei River and the Yeni River.

If he ordered someone to block the trunk of the Yeni River, he would be caught in a urn, and no one from the Siberian Khanate could escape!
Thinking of this, Taichang said decisively: "Wen Zhao, Yuan Fang, you immediately lead [-] Peking Army elites, [-] Aegis ships, [-] Flying Dragon warships, [-] armed merchant ships, [-] large fishing boats and [-] A Spike warship went to the Yeni River Basin.

Wen Zhao, you are in charge of building cities and ports near the mouth of the river as supply points for the fleet to and from the Arctic Ocean.

Yuan Fang, you are in charge of exploring the Yeni River Basin.

Remember, this time you will not only be responsible for exploring, but also be responsible for blocking the main trunk of the Yeni River to prevent the people of the Siberian Khanate from fleeing to the mountains to the east.

So, after you release the elite of the Peking University from the mouth of the river, just leave it alone, and just leave the five hundred armed merchant ships and one hundred large fishing boats at the mouth of the river.

You quickly lead forty Aegis ships, twenty Flying Dragon warships, and four thousand Spike warships all the way south along the main Yeni River, first spread the warships and warships to the entire Yeni River main, and then enter the west tributaries of exploration. "

When Cao Wenzhao and Zhang Yuanfang heard the words, they hurriedly bowed their hands together and said, "I understand, but I will understand in the end."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then gave another order: "Bianjiao, you lead one hundred thousand elite cavalry from the martial arts battalion, take ten thousand Dai Zi rifles, and take an armed merchant ship and a Spike warship to land on the south bank of this tributary. "

Uh, this tributary seems to be to the north of the settlement of the Siberian Khanate, where no camps were found at all.

Cao Bianjiao was a little puzzled and said, "Your Majesty, are we going to press from north to south after we have assembled?"

Taichang shook his head slightly and said: "Don't be in a hurry, after landing, set up a tent and station on the south bank of this tributary, and wait for a while.

This trick is called "striking the grass to startle the snake".

If the people of the Siberian Khanate found out about your army, think about it, what would they do? "

Cao Bianjiao guessed: "If the last generals were them, they would definitely find a way to escape."

Taichang still shook his head slightly and said, "Escape?
Where are they fleeing?
There are so many mountains in the south that it is very difficult for us to climb over them.

To the west is the main trunk of the Hubei River. They have no boats, and we have warships blocking them there, so they can't get through either.

To the east is the main trunk of the Yeni River, and we also have warships blocking it, and they can't get through.

Don't worry, I have sent the Spike warship to keep an eye on them all the time, and they cannot escape.

You said, what will happen if they find that both sides of the east and west are blocked? "

Cao Bianjiao thought about it carefully, and then said cautiously: "In this case, they can only gather people and prepare to fight to the death with the humble minister!"

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Yes, after they found out that they couldn't escape, they had to gather their troops and fight to the death.

So, don't worry, just wait there.

If they can rally their men to fight you to the death, then we'll save a lot of trouble. "

When Cao Bianjiao heard the words, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then ordered: "Leader, don't be idle, you take a thousand armed merchant ships with you to the fortress in the south, and quickly expand the fortress over there into a city of 10 people." , and at the same time expand the port terminal.”

Zhao led the 5 horses under his command and stayed here after driving the 30 elite war horses from the Peking University Camp. At this moment, he has 6 horses under his hands.

If you add the 1 horses stationed in the fort to the south, you get [-].

Although the speed of building cities and docks with 7 people is not as fast as that of more than [-] people, it is not too slow.

The question is, what is the name of the city in the south?
Zhao Ratejiao thought for a while, then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, what do you think is the name of the city in the south?"

Uh, name again.

Taichang simply said: "Just think of one."

Ok.

Zhao Lijiao thought about it carefully, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, how about naming the city in the south Jinglu City?
Because Weichen was born in Jingluwei, the capital of Shaanxi, and at this moment the native capital of Ming Dynasty basically moved out, and Jingluwei was gone.

Therefore, Weichen wanted to take Jinglu City as a souvenir. "

That's a good idea.

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help nodding his head in appreciation and said, "Very well, it's called Jinglu City. You can decide what to do with the city behind, just use the canceled guard house as the name."

Zhao Lijiao hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

As soon as the three of them left, there were only a hundred thousand people left in Hubei City.

Taichang was not idle either, he simply ordered the hundreds of thousands of people to build warehouses in the city, and at the same time move the grain from the armed merchant ships to the city.

This time, he brought a full 3000 million grains, and 10 horses ate it for such a long time without eating 100 million shi.

He had to move the grain off the ship to send the armed merchant ship back and pull the follow-up 3000 million shi of grain over.

Next, Zhang Yuanfang from Yenihe kept sending dragon warships to report, no one, no one, no one!
Taichang looked at the detailed map of the Yeni River tributaries that continued to extend southward, and couldn't help but be puzzled.

Is the population of the Siberian Khanate so small?
The Yeni River Basin has been explored for more than half, but there is still no one in sight!
He originally thought that the people of the Siberian Khanate were scared by Tsarist Russia, so they migrated from the Hubei River Basin to the Yeni River Basin.

Who knew that the situation in the Yeni River Basin was similar to that of the Hubei River Basin, and there were still no people living everywhere.

Time passed quickly, and seeing that it was July, the west tributaries of the Yeni River were finally explored.

The result of the investigation was far beyond Taichang's expectations. There were no people from the Siberian Khanate in the Yeni River Basin at all!

Now Taichang was really confused.

The Siberian Khanate will not only have more than [-] people left!

To be honest, he really couldn't believe it.

For this reason, he specially called Yuan Keli to the map and analyzed it in detail.

Now the area between the Hubei River and the Yeni River has almost been explored. Except for the large settlement south of the Hubei River, there seems to be no Siberian Khanate in other places.

Taichang stared at the map for a while, and then asked: "Mr. Li, do you think the people of the Siberian Khanate will migrate south from the mountains and flee to Mobei?"

After all, the border between the Siberian Khanate and Mobei is not a little bit wide, but thousands of miles away, and there may be a road leading to the south.

Originally, when Cao Bianjiao said that he would run away, he also denied the possibility of him fleeing south.

Now, he had to suspect that he might really have fled south.

Because they searched almost all of the east, west, and north sides, and there was no one!
Unexpectedly, Yuan Keli shook his head without hesitation and said: "This is impossible, because Monan and Mobei were originally the territories of Meng Yuan.

Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, belonged to the line of Tuolei, the fourth son of Genghis Khan, while the Siberian Khanate came from the Golden Horde, which was the line of Shuchi, the eldest son of Genghis Khan.

Genghis Khan's four sons, Jochi, Chagatai, Okuotai, and Tuolei, turned their faces in order to compete for the orthodox position, especially the relationship between the Jochi family and the Tuolei family was even more rigid.

The rivalry between their brothers is also the main reason for the rapid decline of the Mongolian Yuan.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for people from the Jochi family to escape to the territory of the Tuo Lei family. "

Uh, I haven't really studied this Taichang.

He couldn't help admiring: "Liqing, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with Meng Yuan."

Yuan Keli hurriedly said modestly: "Didn't the southern Japanese and the northern captives make trouble when I was young, so I naturally wanted to study the history of the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties."

It seems that the Siberian Khanate may really have so many people left.

Taichang looked at the map, pointed to the east of the Yeni River and asked: "Do you think it is possible for the people of the Siberian Khanate to escape to the forest here?"

Yuan Keli thought about it, and then said cautiously: "This is possible, at least a little more likely than fleeing to Mobei."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then said in a loud voice: "Come here, pass on my oral order, and order Yuanfang to send the Spike warship to the east of the Yeni River to investigate."

He decided not to wait anymore, and then he will clean up the more than [-] people he discovered earlier.
