Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1287 Rakshasa Eastern Expedition
When Yu Yin asked about this, Sun Kewang came to his senses. Remembering the business of his visit this time, he put down his wine glass, "I am going back to Chang'an this time because I hope that the imperial court will allocate 5 to [-] people to support the Yuzi Khanate and Sengge. Drive the Raksha people back to the west bank of the Volga River, and ensure the safety of my two Silk Roads."

Yu Yin was startled when he heard this, "How come the Raksha people have already approached the Western Regions, and they still want to affect the trade route to Samarkand?"

Sun Kewang nodded, "At the beginning of the year, we had already arrived in the Aral Sea, and the trade between North Road, Yuzi and the Mongols was almost cut off. If we don't help, Yuzi will be wiped out sooner or later."

Speaking of which, Sun Kewang sighed, "I wanted to transfer troops from Guanzhong, but Wang Yan expanded his army by 20. I'm afraid that the soldiers in Guanzhong will not be able to transfer them."

Sun Kewang didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would expand its army by 20 at once, which greatly increased the pressure on the Jin army on the Eastern Front, and under pressure, it gritted its teeth and expanded its army by [-]. It is estimated that it is unlikely to transfer troops to the Western Regions.

Yu Yin pondered for a while, but suddenly shook his head and said, "No, I think this soldier must be transferred."

When Sun Kewang heard the words, he couldn't help but look at him. Yu Yin said in a deep voice: "What the prince said just now makes sense. Our Great Jin Dynasty must have a strategy to break the situation. Now that the east is so exhausted, if the Silk Road in the west is blocked again The Raksha people are gone, and the period of the Great Jin's subjugation is approaching. Right now, the south, south, and north directions are blocked, and the Ming Kingdom will immediately detect every move. Only when it moves in the west, the Ming Kingdom will not pay attention."

Yu Yin looked at him and said solemnly: "I support the prince. If I can help Yuzi and Sengge repel the Raksha people, I will be able to keep the Silk Road safe and the trade smooth. Guo and Sengge formed a good relationship, and I can ask them for support in the future when I am in trouble."

Yu Yin obviously realized that if the Kingdom of Jin didn't take the initiative to break the game, the Great Jin would be finished sooner or later, and since the Ming Dynasty couldn't win, he pinned his hope of breaking the game to the west.

Sun Kewang nodded slightly, "The Ministry is really the official of the country, but the Raksha people should not be underestimated. There are more than 20 Mongols. If they say they are defeated, they will be defeated. Therefore, to deal with them, we must mobilize elite soldiers. Also, the emperor may not have such courage, and if the Ming army gets the news, it is very likely that they will launch an attack if they mobilize elite soldiers."

Yu Yin shook his head, "The current situation may not be incomprehensible to the emperor and the ministers, and they can also think of secret ways to hide from Ming's secret work when they send troops." Speaking of this, Yu Yin paused, lowered his voice a little, "My lord, let me say something that should not be said. If the situation is broken in the west, it will be of great benefit to Dajin. This is also a way out!"

Ordinary Jin people or officials would not have the guts to say such a thing, but Yu Yin said that he was already thinking about what happened after the failure.

Right now, there is bound to be a war between the Kingdom of Jin and the Ming Dynasty in the near future. This is driven by the general trend of unification and is inevitable.If the Kingdom of Jin wanted to reverse this situation, it could only prevent the Ming Dynasty from entering Guanzhong in a short period of time, forming a protracted war, and creating a situation where the Ming Dynasty could not destroy the Kingdom of Jin, and the Kingdom of Jin could not defeat the Ming Dynasty.

Under this situation, no one can do anything to anyone. The Ming Dynasty sees no hope of restoring Guanzhong, and life in the south of the Yangtze River is better. After a long time, the people are tired of the war, which will make the Ming Dynasty accept the reality of Jin's separatist regime in Guanzhong. In the end, no one should be stubborn , that's it.

To create this situation, the Silk Road to the west is essential, otherwise the Kingdom of Jin would not be able to afford it, and the Ming Dynasty would not be able to accept the reality, and even if the Silk Road was smooth, Yu Yin was actually not optimistic, so he Will say, is also a retreat words.

Sun Kewang became serious. He is from Shaanxi, and he really hadn't thought about this issue. After Yu Yin said it, his face gradually changed. He should think about this issue.

Sun Kewang said in a deep voice, "What the minister said is reasonable, I will definitely persuade the imperial court to send troops this time."

Yu Yin nodded, "I will fully support the prince in this matter."

It is said that the two of them here are not in the mood to continue eating. In fact, the two of them have not touched the food at all, and the pot of Wu wine has been drunk.

At that moment, Yu Yin asked people to withdraw the food and drink, washed their hands and faces with Sun Kewang, and then went to the cabinet.

In April 1656, when Sun Kewang returned to Chang'an and asked for reinforcements, the Russians who had finished sowing the seeds also came to the season for soldiers.

After the Golden Horde of the Mongols was destroyed, the Mongols fled into Central Asia, and the Russians chased them to the vicinity of the Aral Sea. The Mongolian threat to Russia has basically been lifted.

At this time, there were two voices in Russia. One voice demanded to continue to move eastward, eradicate the Mongols, and severely punish the rebellious Mongols. Back to Ukraine and Eastern Europe, while the war between Poland and Sweden is not over, dare to stab Poland quickly.

At first, turning their attention back to the west, the voice of dealing with Poland gained the upper hand. After all, Russia has been coveting Ukraine for a long time, and together with Sweden, the Nordic overlord who won the 30-year war, the opportunity to beat Poland is really rare.

However, while they were discussing, the "Great Flood" war that was supposed to last more than ten years in Polish history ended early because of Russia's previous withdrawal.

In the original history, Poland started from the uprising of the Ukrainian Cossacks led by Khmelnytsky in 1648, to the declaration of war on Poland by Tsarist Russia in 1654, and finally even after winning the 30-year war, Sweden, which was in full swing, also declared war on Poland in 1655. The Polish raid prevented Poland from fighting Russia, Ukraine, Sweden, and the Elector of Brandenburg allied with Sweden at the same time.

During this period of history, Poland had to face [-] Russian troops, [-] Cossacks, [-] Swedish troops, and Brandenburg's attack with an army of [-].

Poland was supposed to be attacked in all directions, and the land that was beaten up was lost. Even Poland's winged cavalry will suffer heavy losses, and it seems to be in decline since then.

However, because the eastern world fanned its wings, [-] Russian troops and [-] Cossacks retreated into the war with Poland prematurely. Sweden, which was originally planning to take advantage of the opportunity, stepped into the quagmire of war.

Although in the early days of the raid, the Swedish army was in full swing and merged into the land of no one, but the famous Polish general Czarniecki used guerrilla tactics to severely hit the Swedish army. In addition, the Polish people continued to harass the Swedish army, which put the Swedish army in great difficulty.

At this time, Russia suddenly withdrew from the battlefield, and the Swedes were immediately embarrassed. The Polish army, which had originally dealt with Russia, began to return to Poland. Seeing that the situation was not good, Brandenburg, Sweden's ally, chose to wait and see. The main force of the world fought a decisive battle in Warsaw. As a result, the two sides won and lost each other. The Swedes could not get along well, so Poland signed a peace treaty and returned to Sweden.

Historically, this was supposed to be a battle in which Poland gradually declined from the hegemony of Eastern Europe, but this time, Poland did not suffer much loss, and Great Poland successfully restored the national fortune.

The news of the armistice between Sweden and Poland reached Russia, and the Russians, who were about to stab the knife, had to give up their plan to deal with Poland.

There is a huge conflict between Russia and Poland on the Ukrainian issue. Before the Swedish raid, Poland had to bear the pain and recognized Ukraine’s autonomy. Now that the Swedish issue has been lifted, Poland will definitely not tolerate the Ukrainian Cossacks continuing to collude with the Russians .

There is bound to be another war between Russia and Poland. Russia, which has inherited the barbaric genes of the Mongols, will not stop its expansion.

Tsar Aleksey Mikhailovich decided that in order to eliminate the future troubles of the Russian-Polish war, Russia’s action goal was still aimed at the east, and it was always necessary to completely conquer the Turks and Mongols in Central Asia. The trouble has been resolved.

In May and June, it is the season when the pastures on the grassland are flying long. After a night of rain in the sky, the sun rises at dawn, the rain stops, and the clouds become thinner. When the sun shines down, the water drops on the pasture are shining golden .

On the east side of the Aral Sea, on a grassland by the Syr Darya River, nearly a hundred tents were secretly pitched.

There are no herdsmen here, they are all Mongol troops. The Russians continue to advance eastward, squeezing them to the vicinity of the Syr Darya River and the Kazakh hills in the north, and they can no longer retreat.

After the beginning of spring, Russia needs to sow seeds, so it stopped squeezing Mongolia and the Yuzi Khanate, but still left a large number of troops, and deployed a lot of cavalry on the west bank of the Aral Sea and the south side of the Turgai Plateau. Prevent the Mongols from fleeing back to the Volga region.

The Mongols also set up a lot of strongholds on the east side of the Aral Sea to prevent the Russians from continuing to penetrate eastward, as an outpost to prevent the Russians from attacking.

The Mongolian tent at the moment is the outpost closest to the Russian stronghold, with a thousand Mongolian cavalry stationed there.

In the early morning, the sun came out and the sky was clear and blue. The Mongolians in the tent came out one after another. Some drove their herds to graze, and some were preparing to kill sheep for cooking. After the cavalry had breakfast, they patrolled as usual and were vigilant. Raid by the Russians.

At this time, two Mongolians caught a sheep and were squatting on the ground to sharpen their knives to slaughter it. One of them raised his head, but suddenly found something moving on the grassland in the distance. The man couldn't help but stood up suddenly and shouted Said: "There is an enemy!"

Hearing the sound, the Mongolians who were still dawdling in the tent rushed out one after another. They looked to the northwest, their pupils dilated suddenly, and panic appeared on their faces.

The weather is fine today, and the view is excellent. The Mongols can see that on the grassland, crowds of people all over the field are gathering here, like laying a variegated carpet on the grass.

In front of the carpet, there were many flags and numerous spears forming a forest. There were tens of thousands of people in the infantry phalanx alone, and outside the non-infantry phalanx, there were countless Cossack cavalry with spears and horses.

The Mongols in the camp turned pale with fright, and got on their horses one after another, but instead of fighting, they fled backwards in a hurry...
