In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 340 The Five Parts of Desert West
"Your Excellency, I don't know the exact size of your Russian Empire, but as far as I know, the territory of the Great China Empire is indeed very vast..."

Seeing that these white-skinned ghosts actually questioned his words, Moktu had no choice but to tell everything he knew about Dahua.

If he had not followed Lin Rui to fight against the Horqin tribe, and had come into contact with many Han people on the way, plus the inheritance records of the Yuan Dynasty by wise men in the tribe, he would not have known how big Dahua was.

Seeing what he said about having noses and eyes, Golovin and others had no choice but to believe it this time. They secretly glanced at each other, and they could see the horror and disbelief in each other's eyes.

At this moment, an empire seemed to appear in their minds, with a territory almost as large as the entire Europe. It would take half a year to walk from the capital to the southernmost tip of the empire. Not only was it very populous, but it was also very wealthy.

After a while, Golovin calmed down a lot from the shock and asked again: "Your Excellency, such a huge empire must have been established for a long time, right?"

Golovin also wanted to analyze the strength of the empire based on time, because if an empire was established less than a hundred years ago, then the empire should be in its prime and the most powerful.

If it has been more than 100 or even 200 years, it must have entered decay, and the larger the empire, the more serious the decay, so there is no need to worry too much.

But Moktu's answer almost made his jaw drop, and the others also felt as if they had seen a ghost.

"Your Excellency, Dahua has not been established for a long time. It should only be about six or seven years. I have met their emperor and queen, and I have fought with their emperor."

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, Prince, are you kidding me?"

"How could an empire with such a huge territory only take six or seven years to build?"

"Yes, even your ancestors couldn't do this."

It took nearly 70 years for their Russian Empire to expand from independence to its current territory, and the expansion rate of their Russian Empire is the fastest in the history of the entire Europe, so I really don’t believe that someone can spend six or seven years. Time is enough to accomplish what they took 70 years to accomplish.

"Your Excellency, this is absolutely true, and the time is even shorter. In fact, it is not surprising. They have been living in that land for thousands of years..." Moktu could only patiently explain again.

It is a pity that Golovin and others have never been able to understand that such a vast territory and such a large population can actually be unified in just a few years.

Today, in Europe, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands are the only three countries that can sail around the world and colonize and plunder. The rising star of Britain only extends its reach to India, not to mention other countries.

As for Russia, its current energy is almost entirely focused on inland expansion, and because there are still relatively few exchanges with Europe, little people like Golovin have no idea that there has always been a mysterious country in the ancient East.

Moktu's understanding of Lin Rui was also limited, but even so, he still subverted the concepts of Golovin and others.

Obviously, he really couldn't figure out how a commoner could destroy a huge empire and replace it in six or seven years. How could the nobles of that empire surrender to a commoner?
How could a soldier be loyal to a civilian?
"Your Excellency, if you agree to cooperate, we can provide you with some cattle, sheep and horses. After driving away the Han people, all the land here will belong to you, and we will leave immediately.

Those Han people are too greedy. If we are defeated, they will definitely continue to come north to snatch your land. Therefore, we can only defend our respective lands by uniting. " Seeing that these white-skinned ghosts only asked questions and never mentioned anything about the alliance, Moketu finally became impatient and asked directly.

"This... Your Majesty the Prince, I can only promise you that if the other party comes here, we will definitely help you resist together. However, if you take the initiative to fight on the grassland, it will not work, because the task given to us by His Majesty the Tsar is to defend this place. piece of land.”

Golovin said it with a look of regret on his face at the end.

Not to mention that the opponent of this group of Mongols is a huge empire. This time there are more than 4 soldiers. Even if it is just a tribe with similar strength as the Mongols, they will not be involved in this war, let The soldiers went to fight on the grassland. After all, the risk was too great. One mistake would wipe out their entire army.

Therefore, even if the Han people in the south had posed a serious threat to them, they would not be able to help the Mongols to take the initiative.

Seeing the other party's resolute attitude, Moktu had to say goodbye in disappointment. Although the Tsarist Russians did not agree, the two sides still gave each other gifts and signed a non-aggression treaty. The Tsarist Russians were active in the west, and the Mongols were active in the west. Activities in the east, once the Han invaded, both sides would join forces to resist.

After Mokhtu left, Golovin immediately sent the information he learned to Moscow, because he knew that the Great China Empire was definitely the biggest obstacle to their Russian Empire's continued eastward expansion or southward expansion in the future.

at the same time.

The envoys sent by the Chechen tribe to Moxi to seek help finally arrived at the khan court of the Heshuote tribe active in the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains after a month of travel.

The most powerful of the five Moxi tribes is the Zhungeer tribe, which occupies the Ili Valley and the Western Region, followed by the Heshuote tribe, which occupies the vast grasslands north of the Tianshan Mountains.

Since the chief family of the Heshuote tribe is the descendant of Genghis Khan's brothers, he has always been the leader of the Mongolian alliance in the desert. However, the five tribes are grazing in different places. The distance is too far, and the Zhungeer tribe is getting stronger. The so-called leader has long been Death in name only.

Also because the Zhungeer tribe became increasingly powerful and ambitious, the Torgut tribe, one of the five tribes, continued to move westward.

The Huite tribe, with the smallest strength, had to rely on the Dulbert tribe to jointly fight against the Junger tribe.

Therefore, the current situation in Mongolia in the desert is also very complicated. The Torgut tribe has given up and began to migrate westward, almost hiding in the northern part of the Caspian Sea.

The Heshuote tribe was caught in a tangle. They wanted to stay at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and compete with the Zhungar tribe for the Ili Valley, but they also wanted to go to Qinghai Lake or even Tibet to establish their own khanate.

As for the Duerbot tribe and the Huite tribe, they chose to continue to compete with the Zhungeer tribe for the Ili Valley, a geomantic treasure.

At this moment, in the Khan tent of the Heshuote tribe, the Great Khan Gushite was almost shocked when he heard that Lalu, the envoy of the Chechen tribe, came to Moxi to ask for help.

After some careful questioning, they finally understood why the troops they sent to Qinghai to explore two months ago ran into the migrating team of the Zhasak tribe. It turned out that such a big situation had happened in the three tribes of Mobei. The Han people It has also changed dynasties and unified all the tribes in Monan.
