my days with tyrants

Chapter 346 Liberator Zhu Di

Kazan.

On the fields in early winter.

"There are all kinds of people in this place, like ghosts and ghosts."

Amidst the noisy barking of dogs, Qiu Fu looked at the dense crowd in front of him.

Indeed, there are all kinds of people who seem to him to be monsters and ghosts gathered here...

Physically colored.

Mongolians, Turks, Russians he has seen, but this Russia is not actually the name of the country of Russia, to be precise, it is Russian, but the Mongolian pronunciation problem has become Russia, and there are many messy ones he has never seen before, with black hair But the skin color is similar to that of Russians, and some people have white skin like dead people, but they have red hair on their heads. In short, the whole city is like a hodgepodge.

But without exception, they were all dirty, and they all wore tattered leather robes, even if it was supposed to be the leader's leather robe, it was better.

The same goes for women.

In fact, in his opinion, the women here are just like men except that they don't have beards.

But they are all really strong.

Like a pack of real beasts.

Also as filthy as a real beast.

But what is surprising is that this place is not dominated by nomads, because the city is surrounded by farmland. Although it has been harvested, the remaining ears of wheat can prove that oats are grown here. This thing is mainly used as horse feed in Daming. The fodder, that is, the most inferior dry land in the north can be grown.

But for him, who had eaten enough meat along the way, it was a relief to see the farming areas after all.

And this is not just a city, there are a large number of villages around it. After all, if there is a city, there must be a village.

"As long as we are still flesh and blood, as long as we don't recover from bullets like Yang Feng, it's the same for us.

strong? "

Zhu Neng beside him sneered, then pulled out the short gun and pulled the trigger at a barking dog next to him.

With the sudden sound of gunfire, the dog collapsed instantly, then twitched.

A guy in the crowd in front of him immediately came out roaring, and raised his ax to point at him. Zhu Neng calmly pulled out his other short gun, and fired another shot. This guy who was as strong as a bear , with solidified astonishment on his face, he fell straight back like a piece of rotten wood, and blood gushed out from his forehead.The next moment there was silence in front of them, those messy people looked at them one by one in astonishment, followed by angrily roaring, and then these messy guys moved forward like a moving garbage dump.

But then stopped.

Because on Zhu Neng's side, all the guards raised short guns in their hands.

The short guns were aimed, and all these brutal and powerful guys looked at them in embarrassment.

At this time, Tuotuo Mizuo hurried out from behind the crowd with a few leaders. He looked at the dead bodies on the ground unexpectedly, but he didn't take it seriously at all. This kind of thing is not worth mentioning to the countless sweats who slaughtered the city. Then he walked to Zhu Dima...

"King Khan, this is what the city decides. They are willing to provide us with food, but what we want to exchange for them is horses, armor, and weapons. But they are not willing to send troops."

He said.

"Didn't you say they surrendered to you?"

Zhu Di said.

"My lord, surrender here is just lip service. Every city and tribe has the final say. Unless we can make them fearful, we can't order them to do anything. It's not just me, it's the former Golden Horde Khan The same is true. The Golden Horde Khan before Yue Jibie Khan could indeed make these subjects obedient and obedient, but afterward, civil strife continued, and the Khan changed one every year. If he wanted the cities of his subjects to be obedient, he had to lead troops to force The big subjects didn’t even bother with the Golden Horde, and annexed the other subjects themselves, which were attacked not long ago by the Russians from Moscow.”

Tutuo Lost said with some embarrassment.

"So, whoever is strong can order them, so am I not strong enough?
tell them.

Now I order them to immediately donate enough food and livestock to feed us for a month, and call [-] soldiers to follow us south. This is my order, and they must obey, otherwise I will kill them. "

Zhu Di said.

Tuotuo lost immediately translated to those elders.

This city used to be counted as the Principality of Kazan, similar to the Principality of Moscow. It was subject to the Golden Horde, but it was dominated by Bulgars. The ancestors of the Chuvash and Kazan Tatars in modern Russia were occupied by bandits ten years ago. The old principality was effectively destroyed, and was later reconquered when Tuotuo was still the Khan of the Golden Horde.This guy was actually very strong before he was bloodbathed by Timur and Belgosarai. He even captured Moscow and forced the Grand Duke of Moscow, who had not paid taxes for a long time, to pay taxes to the Golden Horde again.In addition, he went south into Persia, captured Tabriz, and looted Armenia. No wonder Timur couldn't stand it. The dog he supported grabbed the territory he coveted...

It is said that Persia is his goal.

This belongs to the evil slave deceiving the master.

But since then there has been no Grand Duke in Kazan. Decades later in history, a branch of the Golden Horde came to Kazan after the complete collapse of the Golden Horde and established the Kazan Khanate in Kazan, and even captured them for a time. Vasily II, Grand Duke of Moscow.

As for the fact that there is really no city lord now, anyway, these cities in Eastern Europe are just an alliance of nobles. The heads of big families and the elders of temples get together to discuss, and it is not necessary to have a grand duke.

"Khan, they still refuse."

Tutuo Lost said quickly.

"Let them go there!"

Zhu Di pointed to an open space not far away.

Tutuo lost the translation, and then those big family leaders and temple elders walked over with some doubts. They were not worried about anything. After all, they were protected by a real city wall. Kazan City is a very old city. At that time, the Bulgar Khanate had fought against Mongolia and even won.People like Zhu Di traveled long distances from Chengjitula, and in their view it was impossible to attack the city, and they did not agree to provide food and other supplies, but they just wanted Zhu Di to buy them.

On the contrary, if there was a real fight and Zhu Di couldn't break through the city of Kazan in a short time, he would commit suicide.

The army without supplies will exhaust the materials it carries in the continuous siege battle, and Yedi in the south will quickly gather troops to go north.

So they had nothing to fear, they thought Zhu Di would succumb. .

These guys just stood there confidently, looking at the Ming army half a mile ahead.

The latter's camels were already lying down, so there was no danger at this distance.

For these aristocrats in Kazan, everything in this army is mouth-watering, countless camels and horses, the best armor and weapons, although they don't know much about cannons, but those cold weapons are good Bad they can see at a glance.

Kazan was a trading city.

The trade route from the East through the Silk Road to Siberia and then through Tyumen to Northern Europe passes through here. They also have a small amount of armor and weapons from the East. If they can use this opportunity to force these people to exchange for some, then they can run rampant in the future. This area can even attack Moscow. Not long ago, they were attacked by Grand Duke Vasily I of Moscow.

The latter has now annexed Novgorod to the west.

Zhu Di looked at them calmly, then waved his hand forward.

The next moment, flames sprayed from the camel opposite them...

"They have no right to refuse, obey or die."

Zhu Di said.

And the Kazanians opposite him looked at their leaders and elders in astonishment. The latter were shattered by the impact of the shells. Because of the limited accuracy, a few escaped and ran away, but they could only suffer more shells.One of the elders was hit by a field artillery shell, and the entire middle part disappeared, turning into spattered flesh and blood. In the end, only a head and two legs remained, and the former rolled on the ground.

"You, who can speak Mongolian?"

Zhu Di yelled at these dumb Kazan people in Mongolian.

Immediately, many people looked at him tremblingly. Obviously, there are not many people in this place who understand Mongolian.

"Although I know that you can't understand my official title in Daming, you can call me Great Khan. The moon is someone else, the Oirats, and the Mongols all call me this way. Now Baizhanghan, Qingzhanghan, and Chagatai Khan The land is under my rule. I know that most of you are actually slaves, you are their serfs, so now I tell you, as long as you obey my orders, your land will belong to you, and you will no longer be serfs But free people, you will have your own land, your own house, your own property. If you are willing to follow me to continue to attack Belgosarai, you can get more, the gold and silver there, the livestock there, Even the women there belong to you.

I have the final say.

Even the Golden Horde Khan has to listen to me. "

Zhu Di said.

Those who knew Mongolian looked at him in disbelief.

"Big, Big Khan, can you open Belgosarai?"

One of them stepped forward and said cautiously.

"Show him what a mortar is."

Zhu Di said.

Immediately next to him the signalman waved the flag.

In the next moment, in the camel city, a series of gunpowder smoke rose, and then one after another bombs fell from the sky, exploding between the stumped limbs and arms.

Although this is only a light mortar for field use, it is enough for these people.

They looked at the bursting flames with shocked eyes, because the surrounding grass was surrounded by dead grass, which quickly caused wildfires.

"I came from Chengji Tula, don't you think I will take this risk with an army of [-] without the preparation for victory?"

Zhu Di said.

At this time, those who understand Mongolian are already translating to others.

Zhu Di had already known from Yang Feng that at this time, there was serfdom here, and since serfdom was established, it would be easy to handle.

Divide the land!
Yang Feng has long proved with his actions that any place where the serf system or landlord tenant system is worth mentioning, as long as you divide the land, it is invincible.

Anyway, it's just to be generous to others.

Moreover, the situation here obviously cannot support an army of [-].

Although this is a farming area, with their level of oatmeal agriculture, it is estimated that there is not much surplus food that can be used. Even adding livestock is enough. Enough is enough, this is a reduction.So the best way is to encourage these serfs to rebel, and then he will lead the serfs to kill the nobles who occupy the most resources, take out the food and livestock they occupy as the next army ration, and take this army The expeditionary force went south.

At this time, following the report of those people, the serfs all became restless, and a few obviously nobles immediately saw that something was wrong.

One of them ran to the city gate without hesitation.

At this time, the city gate was already closing, and it was obvious that the nobles and elders in the city had realized that something was wrong, and this guy soon arrived at the place facing the city gate.

then……

The whistling of cannonballs sounded.

The shell of the field artillery hit him accurately, and while smashing him into pieces, the shell also crashed into the city gate, and the soldiers who were closing the gate were directly blown away.

There is no urn city in Kazan City. This city is just a circle of stone walls. Even the moat around it has been flattened due to years of disrepair. It is only built on a slightly elevated mound. Its name originally means a cauldron, because this kind of The shape looks like an upside-down pot, so it was named a big pot during the Mongolian Western Expedition.Although this kind of city wall is indeed considered to have a good level of defense in Eastern Europe, the defect that the city gate does not have an urn makes it finally embarrassing at this moment.

The artillery of the Ming army aimed directly at the city gate, and then continued to bombard it.

Even if it is not a field gun, only a rapid-fire gun is enough. After all, the bows and arrows on the city wall cannot get these rapid-fire guns.

And at a distance of less than 200 meters, Zhu Di’s guards who have been playing with artillery for eight years are capable enough to shoot shells into the city gate without shooting together. A group of three rapid-fire cannons is replaced by a group after shooting. , as long as the defenders are unable to close the city gate, all the soldiers who tried to close the city gate were hit by shells, and their flesh and blood were spattered...

"What are you looking at, rush in, the money, livestock, food, and even their women of your masters are yours, and their land is also yours. If you don't believe me, then the Golden Horde is here, you Don't you believe in the Golden Horde Khan?"

Zhu Di said.

The serfs looked at each other.

Suddenly, someone roared excitedly, and then rushed to the city gate without hesitation.

Then all the serfs went crazy and rushed towards the city gate. At the same time, the mortars behind the Ming army fired again, and the flowering bullets with small tails fell towards the city, and soon black smoke rose from inside... …

"King Khan, in this case, other cities may not support us. We are indeed nomads, but all the cities around Belgosarai in the south are farming in the same way. So are the cities in Russia and Lithuania. If we do that The city lord will treat us as enemies."

Tutuo lost and said.

He understands.

He is indeed a nomad, but Eastern Europe, the core of the Golden Horde, is all serfdom. If he wants to do the Golden Horde, he will have the support of the nobles in those cities. If he does this, no one will support him.

"You haven't regained the throne of the Golden Horde Khan. Do you need to consider this kind of thing? What you want is victory, and this will get you victory, attack!"

Zhu Di shouted.

Muli and others, who couldn't wait for a long time, howled and rushed straight to Kazan City.

As for getting lost and worried...

None of their business!
They came here to burn, kill and loot, so don't they still care about collecting the corpses?
