my days with tyrants

It was Bald Polo who was beheaded by Ambassador Yang's flying sword.

He had taken the tribe to spend the winter in the Har Lake area before.

After the Khan Ting led by Eleboke and the remnants led by Alutai arrived one after another, they also learned that the Ming army was pursuing them, and then they made a plan to fight...

Twenty thousand cavalry went deep alone.

No matter how you look at it, it will give them a chance to win.

Although they admit that the Ming army is very strong, the problem is that they did not fight like this. With [-] cavalry without any logistical support, they went deep into their core pastoral areas alone, and they went deep into their core pastoral areas alone in winter. It was really like suicide.Although their strength is still not enough for a decisive battle, they took advantage of the lack of horses and horses of the Ming army to attack first, forcing the Ming army to stop outside Har Lake, making it impossible for the Ming army to obtain high-quality pastures for the horses to recover.

The rest is constant harassment.

The Ming army has never been able to get a real and effective rest.

Then wait for the ministries to converge.

At present, the various ministries that make up the Oala Alliance, such as Choros, Torghut, Durbert, and Heshuot, are rushing to reinforce.

Several tribes, including nomads north of Hami, are also heading north.

In a month at most, a [-]-level army will be formed to encircle and wipe out the Ming army.

however……

He just put himself on it.

The Ming army lost only a few hundred people in this battle, but beheaded more than [-] people. Not only did Tu Polo's troops suffer heavy losses, but also Alutai, Guilichi and other members of the Khan court who were with him also suffered heavy losses. Don't dare to take the initiative to attack.

In fact, the elite belonging to Elbek Khanting has been disabled.

Three thousand beheaded this time.

Five thousand last time.

Even if the casualties are not [-]:[-], it is conservatively estimated that there will be over [-] young and strong men, and the number of Elebek Khanting who can fight is probably only [-] to [-] million, basically an arm is broken.

And before that, a large number of old and weak women and children were captured.

Their blood recovery ability was also severely damaged. It can be said that in the next ten years at least, the Elbek Khanting will not be able to recover.

The Ming army continued to move forward.

Soon the army reached the shore of Lake Hal.

Elebok's Khanting had already returned from the defeat at Alutai and others, and then continued to flee westward.

At this time, the grassland has really entered the season of spring grass germination, especially in the wetlands of this kind of lake, all kinds of pastures are growing wildly in the spring sunshine, and the half-starved and half-satisfied horses and camels along the way can finally replenish them happily That almost exhausted physical strength.

"The scenery is picturesque!"

Zhu Di, who was still half herding horse and half marching, looked into the distance with emotion from his horseback.

Looking around a piece of green.

At this time, they had passed Lake Hal and were going around Halstone Lake. The west bank of the lake was the original historical Khobdo City. As for Elebek, he did not stay here. Continue to flee westward under protection.

It is estimated that it should have arrived and Tongbo.

Calculated according to the time, the Choros Department should have passed the Altai Mountains, and the two sides should have made peace. .

It seems that if it is not done well, it will really be a sad decisive battle in my Qing Dynasty.

"To the west is better than this. It's actually relatively arid. To the west is abundant water and countless rivers. On the contrary, there are more deserts to the south, but the south is warmer and there are many rivers, so it's actually better than here. However, if you pass the pastoral area of ​​the Oala League to the south, you will reach the territory of the lame Timur. He controls the vast grasslands in the south, and after passing the Oala Alliance to the east, you will be the Chincha Khanate, also known as the Golden Horde Khanate .Their territory goes all the way to Eastern Europe, and then there are European countries. Russia, the most powerful in this area in later generations, is still a vassal of the Golden Horde, kneeling at the latter's feet and kowtowing to them."

Yang Feng said.

At this time, Russia was still the Grand Duchy of Moscow, but it had already begun to expand.

But he still surrendered to the Golden Horde.

It was not until [-] that Ivan III officially stopped paying tribute to them, and then they were attacked by the Golden Horde. The two sides faced each other across the river, but the Polish reinforcements agreed by the Golden Horde did not arrive. Showing off its power, the Golden Horde retreated.

Moreover, the Great Khan Ahema of the Golden Horde was intercepted and killed by the Crimean Khanate on the way to retreat.

I have to say that the situation in the Eastern European steppe was also very chaotic at that time. Catholic Poland and the Golden Horde, who believed in a certain god, formed an alliance to beat the Orthodox Moscow Grand Duchy, and the Crimean Khanate, which also believed in a certain god, and the Orthodox Moscow Grand Duchy partnered to attack Jin The Horde...

Everyone is having a great time!

But now the Golden Horde should be facing the attack of Poland and Timur at the same time.

The decline of the Golden Horde began with Timur's attack.

"One day, when the sun and the moon shine, it will all be the land of Great Ming."

Zhu Di said.

"Actually, I think that even after this battle, you don't need to go back in a hurry. Although His Majesty is over seventy years old, there is nothing serious about his health. As long as you don't go back, His Majesty will support you after all. Why don't you just go south to the river and find yourself in the middle of the river?" Create a new territory in the Western Regions?

Even if there is no war with Timur, it is enough to just take down the area of ​​Oara.

Timur is now conquests in West Asia.

At this time, he should still be attacking the Golden Horde in the Caucasus.

We can go south, his core territory is Hezhong, as long as we threaten Tashkent, he will have to return to the division, and we will not fight him, just force him to return to the division.He paid tribute to Ming Dynasty. Let Ming Dynasty conquer Remnant Yuan, so we went to his door to have a look. You summoned him, a vassal, as King Yan instead of His Majesty the Emperor, and he had to come to see him.You are the king of Yan, he is considered a county king if he is as high as the sky, one level lower than you, and not only him, but also the East Chagatai Khanate, that is, the king of Bili, he is also a courtier to Daming Gong, it is reasonable for you to summon these vassal kings when you come to the Western Regions. "

Yang Feng said.

Then Timur had to always be on guard against the Ming army heading straight to his hometown from the northern line.

He is now having a great time in West Asia, the Middle East, even Eastern Europe, and even South Asia. He has conquered Persia and Afghanistan before, and is currently attacking the Golden Horde from Persia to the north, and even broke through the capital of the Golden Horde.Next, he had to go south to sweep the Fertile Crescent, defeat Egypt in Syria, burn Damascus, and then go to South Asia to break through Delhi, massacre the city, and then defeat the Ottoman Empire to capture the Ottoman Sultan, and finally established a huge empire.

And then died.

If the Ming army suddenly had the ability to penetrate his heart from behind at this time, then he would have to be cautious, and Da Ming could also use this advantage to force him to pay tribute continuously.

Offer a horse.

Set him an annual contribution amount of horses.

These horses must be paid tribute every year.

He should say yes.

After all, it is not too difficult for him to go out to snatch horses. He needs thousands of horses a year, or [-] war horses in three years.

no tribute...

Then it is hard for the Ming army to say when they will go straight into the river.

Moreover, we can make a clear demarcation with him, and advance the territory directly under the Ming Dynasty to Talas, which is the mountain pass in the north of Tashkent, and enter the river after crossing this mountain pass.In this way, the territory of the Ming Dynasty was advanced to the actual control line of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the line of Suiye and Qianquan, which turned the land of seven rivers, the Ili River Valley, and the Junggar Basin into actual control areas.In the future, a city can be built in this area, including Khobdo, and eventually Dongchahetai will be included in it. If they are honest, they can continue to be vassals with the title of King of Bili, and if they are dishonest, they will be wiped out.

Then Northern Xinjiang will completely belong to Daming.

This line is easier to garrison than the line on the Mongolian plateau.

The conditions on the Mongolian plateau are too harsh.

There is no way to farm, supply and transportation are difficult, and the winter is too cold, but the line of the Western Regions can be used for farming, especially with sufficient resources, even some industries can be developed.

For example, don't lose eight miles.

This name is actually the Beiting Duhufu in the Tang Dynasty.

Don't forget that Bali City is the residence of Beiting Duhufu.

Modern Urumqi and Turpan were all under the rule of King Bieshabali.

"Ambassador, we only have less than [-]% of the ammunition left. After the fight, we can only use bows and arrows. Do you want [-] cavalry to use bows and arrows to threaten such a hero? Since he is running rampant in the Western Regions, he must have [-] cavalry , even if my Ming cavalry is better than them, there is no chance of winning."

Zhu Di said.

"Your Majesty, you can ask for help! As long as you are still here, His Majesty will give you reinforcements. Song Sheng still has a lot of troops in Gansu. He is only [-] miles from Jiayuguan to Tianshan Mountain. It is estimated that he can dispatch [-] cavalry. Let's join forces with him." Don’t Lost Bali, just to scare Don’t Lost Bali, and then force Don’t Lost Bali to send troops, they will definitely, they and Timur are not in the same group, if we beat Timur, they will be happy. In this way we will I can gather more than [-] cavalry, and Song Sheng will carry enough ammunition and supplies, and I can barely build some during this period, enough to scare Timur."

Yang Feng continued to bewitch him.

Zhu Di pondered.

This shit is crazy.

He has traveled all the way here, and he is already crazy.

Is this guy going to continue?

but……

"Your Majesty, you have to think about the current situation. Even if you return triumphantly, the emperor's grandson will not embarrass you anymore. Can you honestly make him a vassal king for the rest of your life?"

Yang Feng said in a low voice.

Zhu Di's gaze changed, and he looked at him deeply.

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Originally, it was Zhu Yunqi who succeeded to the throne in history, but you didn't control your ambition. You led these guys to rebel, then broke through the capital, and forced Zhu Yunqi to burn himself to pieces in the palace. .

Ah, Zhuang De doesn't count.

He protected Zhu Yunqi, and then beheaded Tan Yuan. "

Yang Feng pointed to Zhang Fu and others who were still grilling and said in a low voice.

Zhuang De is drinking happily with Tan Yuan!

The latter has preserved a jug of wine to this day.

Zhu Di took a deep breath...

"Don't worry, although I didn't tell your father clearly, he has already guessed it, so he has been entangled with you all these years. He likes you like his hero and knows that you will take the throne, but he doesn't want to set you up and mess around. The order of succession has been established. And the emperor's grandson is also very satisfied with him. Although he will beat you a little bit, he will definitely not be scrapped. In this way, he will have to keep kicking you out, further and further away. We have explained everything today, if The emperor's grandson succeeds to the throne, do you think you will be honest in the future, and will not rebel and seize the throne like Zhu Yunqi did?

We are all adults.

Be sincere.

How can a man live in the world for a long time when he is born in the world.

I guess I will be a son-in-law in the future, and I can't get rid of your sister, so I sincerely hope that you won't fight each other.

If you take down the Western Regions and build a country based on this, the emperor grandson will not only not worry, but will try his best to maintain contacts with you. After all, Hu Yuan was able to establish the four major Khanates in the same way. The Western Regions were not owned by the imperial court. You defeated them Of course it's yours. "

Yang Feng said.

This is his real purpose.

Let Zhu Di expand in the Western Regions.

Zhu Yunxi is far inferior to his uncle in ambition.

He was nurtured by his aunt, and he paid more attention to economic interests. He was not even very enthusiastic about marching to the grasslands. After all, marching to the grasslands was purely money-making and not profitable, including Huining and other places.So he supported Yang Feng to contract Huining and develop in Shuofang, including entrusting Hehuang to King Zhou, because these places were not profitable.

Can be thrown to others.

Whether these places are controlled or developed by the garrison, there is no profit or meager benefits.

Not worth worrying about.

In his view, there is a vast expanse of Southeast Asia, and countless wealth is at your fingertips. Why should money and manpower be invested in these bitter cold places?
Investing one or two taels of silver in the direction of Nanyang, you can get ten taels of income, and investing one or two taels of silver in Huining may not even return the cost. It is enough to force those tribes to claim vassalage and pay tribute, there is no need to be unrealistic.On the contrary, without actual control, through commercial exploitation, you can extract as much benefit as possible from those tribes. Simply put, their uncles and nephews belong to the route issue.

Zhu Di is still old-school expansion.

It is to occupy.

Keep occupying land and then control it.

Just like the Russians.

Zhu Yunxi likes commercial exploitation, and uses various commercial means to squeeze those tribes as much as possible, but there is no need to control the land, as long as he is recognized as the boss.

Just like America.

But what Yang Feng wanted was Zhu Di.

Since Zhu Yunxi is not interested, let Zhu Di take the lead. Daming doesn't need to worry about it. As long as Zhu Yunxi successfully succeeds to the throne, he and his aunt's financial, industrial and commercial means are enough to make Daming strong.On the contrary, the expansion of territory in the Western Regions is the focus of the future, so Yang Feng has to try his best to fool Zhu Di into this road.

And Zhu Yunxi would really allow Zhu Di to develop in the Western Regions. After all, he could even seal out places like Hehuang and Shuofang.

"Ambassador, you have a very good intention!"

Zhu Di said.

"My lord, I have good intentions. If you really rebel and seize the throne, I will definitely intervene. After all, the grandson of the emperor is cultivated by me, and he is developing completely according to the route I designed. If he succeeds, then the future Daming will be in danger." It will continue to develop according to my idea, but it is hard to say if you are an emperor. Do you know finance?
Will open a factory?

But what the king is good at is invincible with an iron cavalry.

Then the Western Regions is your hunting ground.

Look at this map, even if you can't reach Europe, this piece of land alone is bigger than Ming Dynasty. Such a vast land is enough for you to conquer for a lifetime, and then you can use this land to establish a country and maintain trade with Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be good? "

Yang Feng pointed to the map and said.
