Comrade Chang Kaishen once used his experience of failure to tell us that 'if you go outside, you must first settle inside' is a joke, because it is righteousness to go outside, and peace is selfish interests. However, judging from the experience summed up in China's vast history books, this sentence is not wrong, and most of the successful examples are that first implicitly or implicitly seek peace from the outside, then settle inside, and finally fight with the outside. For example, before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing to kill the Quartet, his ancestors kissed the Xiongnu for many years starting from Liu Bang, and also sent Zhaojun Meimei, so it was his turn, and he could be used as a positive teaching material for centuries. All outsiders have already hit the door, and they still want to go to Annei, and they will be dumbfounded in the end, such as the Ming Dynasty.

Now there are very few 'outsiders' who have the strength to threaten Dayu on land, Tianzhu is too busy to take care of himself, and it is not easy to break through several river valleys on the Kang-Tibet Plateau, the Tianfang cultists in Chittagong and other places want to cross the Pearl City and enter the Bagan political region of Dayu, the Mughal people in the Kangju grassland and Daxia are still honest, and Europe is still trying to slowly recover from the extinction of the Black Death, and there are many fewer people, but the wealth has not decreased. At present, it is the people who retreat into the Linhai Snow Plain north of the northeast that need to be vigilant, and organize the men who set horses on the Mobei grassland into a team to clean up the Tuva and other dishonest tribes. But no one can say about the hidden dangers at sea, and the natives of the island countries in the South Seas are not a problem for the regular navy at all, but the Andong army, which has not experienced a decent naval battle, if it faces a maritime power on the east coast of Dongzhou, the victory or defeat is not yet known.

Therefore, the crown prince led the Chongzheng Yuan to ensure that the decrees were transparent and transparent, and Shenzong led the Privy Council to the outside world, so that the Western countries would not attack Dongzhou and Nanyang for the time being, and secretly pushed the defense line to Hengganshan.

If the defeat of the Muguls and the Great Cannibals at the hands of the Mamulu and the Polo was a brilliant and dazzling confrontation of cavalry individual skills, then the battle of the Poreel cavalry, which regrouped after the Black Death, and the battle of Beertokh, the most heroic commander under Yasuhai, gave a glimpse of a new cavalry tactic.

The king was nothing more than a person with the title of 'Archduke of All', and any archduke or lord who leaned on one side could veto the candidate for the next 'king'. However, they also have one thing in common, that is, they will never obey the elected 'king' and insist on local self-government. So there is a puzzling tradition of choosing a foreigner as king, to make sure that the new king has neither the interest nor the strength to do anything centralized.

After the previous king, Henry, had his head on the spear and toured the states, the Grand Dukes elected a Beleslav king as a puppet to 'recognize' him as the new ruler. When the Black Death spread, the king made a wise decision to take in a large number of Shuhu who had fled from the persecution of the Holy See. After inheriting the territory of Yesuhai, Khutthorn replaced the disappeared Khazar as the 'protector' of the Silk Road of the Steppe and the Washi Trade Road, and appreciated their knowledge and gave them a lot of benefits, so Porjeer was one of the first countries in Europe to ease his breath.

As one of the three generals under the command of Suhai, who was stationed in Qiwa, the first to express his dissatisfaction, and while he was busy with 'post-disaster reconstruction', he contacted Wanhaidu of Taolishi and Bahei of Baoda to cooperate together. At this point, Boleslav made a second wise decision, and at the 'request' of the Khutthorns, a young noble general, Bessosky, was appointed to bravely face the terror of the Mughuls.

Besowski was born in the southeast of the Rakshasa principality, and one of the greatest projects in his family history was fighting the Cossack mercenaries of the Rakshasa principality. Because of the importance of this battle, the king and the princes paid out of their pockets, asking for money and people, so that Bessosky could organize enough good knights to cooperate with the drill and further improve the equipment.

Compared with other European nations that favored mercenaries, the knights of the Poreel had always maintained a very old tradition of good nobility, and their years of hard training made them have strict discipline and excellent spear skills, and they greatly respected the spirit of chivalry, and took pride in the face to face with dignity. However, this habit made the knights accustomed to small-scale battles, and when they encountered the Muguls, it became a joke. He was used to the fullest extent by Ye Suhai before, using roundabout and flexible tactics to teach the pretentious European nobles a lesson in the battlefield within a radius of 100 miles. The nations of Europe, which had been taught to be human, had since become more serious in believing that the Cossacks, Ottomans, Great Eclipse, or Mamulu were the pinnacle of first-class cavalry. However, Besowski insisted that the Muguls were no match for the European heavy knights in hand-to-hand combat, not to mention the large forests and swamps and walled castles of the Boreel, and that the heavy cavalry could be used to their fullest extent as long as the right battlefield was chosen.

The place chosen by Bessosky as the battlefield is located in a hilly area near Lemberg (Lviv), where two rivers meet, with hilly slopes on one side and dense forests on the other. In addition to the Porriel Knights, his army also included the Cossack cavalry, a former rival, and the Teutonic Knights, who had once again come for revenge. The role of the 5,000 Cossacks was to harass and lure the enemy, and the 10,000-strong Teutonic regiment met the enemy head-on, while the 30,000 Poreel cavalry were heavily armoured, armed with hollow wooden spears and long shields with spherical gauntlets, and the men and horses were covered in iron armor all over their bodies, with chain mail at the joints and faces, and only two eyes exposed, all arranged on the hilly slopes, waiting for an opportunity to charge the Mughurs who entered the encirclement.

The two friendly armies of the Cossacks and the Teutonic carried out the tactics thoroughly, and the forward light cavalry of Beerto, competing with the Cossacks and pursuing each other, led an army of 40,000 Mughuls into the valley and found the Teutonic knights who were waiting for them. The Mughal light cavalry immediately spread out to the flanks, revealing the heavy armor in the middle, and advanced to the front of the formation under the command of the banner, ready to charge, cutting through the Teutonic phalanx, and then the light cavalry followed up, dividing them and breaking them individually.

Before the heavy Mughal cavalry could reach the front of the Teutonic legion, Bessosky immediately led the Knights of the Boreel into action, climbed the hillside, and dived downward. These disciplined knights did not rush down from the mountains, but formed three large phalanxes in a neat formation, marching like a wall, arranged densely and neatly. Many riders don't even need to pull the reins, and the horses of their teammates next to him will carry the horses under their crotch in unison, freeing them to fight with both hands, a gun in one hand and a shield in the other. What is particularly special is that in order to maintain the formation, it is not necessary to charge at high speed, otherwise it will disrupt the formation and affect the impact force.

In such an overwhelming 'iron wall' queue of jogging and charging, even if the individual skills of the Meng soldiers may be superior, once they encounter a row of ironclad cavalry rushing downward, one man and one horse have to face several spears at the same time, and in an instant, people turn on their backs, and even people and horses roll down the hill together. The Mughal light cavalry could not pose a threat to the iron armor at all, but would be lightly impaled or dismounted by the deadly spears. Even if they were hand-to-hand, the swords, hammers, maces and other weapons used by the Mongol army were not as effective as the knights' heavy swords and long shields. The cavalry of the Poreel kept the formation undispersed, the knights inside returned fire with bows and arrows, and the knights on the periphery mainly fought at close quarters, defeating the Mughal light cavalry behind them.

The light cavalry behind him fell into a scuffle, so that the heavy soldiers running in front of the Mughal army had a momentary panic, in addition to the knights in the formation, the Teutonic regiment also had a large number of infantry and a few hurried throwing guns, although it took a long time to fill the second ammunition after the first wave of 'three-stage' shelling, it was able to effectively curb the speed of the charge of Beerto. Seeing that the distance was approaching, and there was no time to fire another wave of artillery, the Teutonic knights, like the knights of the Poreel, lined up in two dense horizontal columns knee to knee to meet the Mongol army. The Cossacks slaughtered the fleeing Muguls at the outskirts, but they showed signs of being inferior to the men, so they had to retreat to the hillside and flank the Teutons to withstand the pressure of the heavy Mughal army.

On the narrow battlefield, with the Teutonic legions as anvils, although the speed of the Poreel knights was not superior, it was enough to crush them like a steamroller. Moreover, they have good discipline, and the knights at the forefront can take turns to retreat into the battle line for a short rest, rely on their staying strength to resist the counterattack of the Mughal people, advance slowly, and strive to join the Teutonic legion, narrow the battlefield, and do not let the Mughal have room to display their skills, completely destroying the Mongolian army's fighting spirit.

Despite his reluctance and rage, Beetkh made a quick decision and ordered a rally to break out in order to escape from the crushing of the Iron Knights. However, the small Teutonic regiment organized a wave of artillery behind it, and the Mongols were not allowed to approach, and on the other side there was a muddy swamp in the dense forest, so they had to choose to raise their heads and attack the Cossacks on the hillside. At this time, a phalanx of the Pores quickly pressed towards the foot of the mountain, and the Cossack cavalry on the hillside also quickly retreated, revealing a row of foot soldiers pushing various carts, wooden thorn platoons, and long chains of thistles. It was a bit reluctant to say that they were infantry, many of them did not even wear leather armor, and there were even shirtless farmers. However, these roadblocks were enough to give the Muguls a headache, and the nearly four-foot-long spears in the hands of the Polier cavalry were fierce, and the cold arrows of the Cossacks were invincible, so that the Mongol soldiers who climbed the slope and fled suffered many casualties.

Although the Mughal were defeated in an unsightly defeat, their ability to escape for their lives was second to none in Eurasia, and Beltokh finally led a third of his men and horses to escape from the battlefield, leaving behind valuable Mughal soldiers and thousands of horses, as well as 10,000 corpses.

At the cost of more than 7,000 dead and wounded, Bessosky finally allowed the European cavalry to win the precious first battle under the Mughal iron cavalry.

***********************

With the battle report of the Eurasian cavalry confrontation in Shangjing, there was also the approximate fatality rate of the Black Death, Gu Ci was really moved and grateful when he saw this number, and he swept away the uncertain pregnant woman's feelings, and immediately became bright.

With an adequate response, in the crazy spread of the Black Death, Dayu, as a bystander, summed up and learned the lessons of the plague well.

This kind of seasonal infectious disease, mainly in the warm season and region, spreads rapidly, the disease is not cured, death, almost impossible to prevent, such as Tianzhu, Egypt and other places, one outbreak and one city. But within six months, they will quickly leave and move on to the next target, so the average time to be hit in each place is only five to six months. If the quarantine and protection policies can be implemented well, and survive this time, many people will be killed. Bo Qiuge and Da Shi strictly adhered to this, and the proportion of population loss was the smallest of any country, much better than the Mugul, who were scattered and isolated on the grasslands, but whose sanitary conditions were really poor.

Cremation has become the most mainstream choice in plague-ravaged areas, and the collection and burial of ashes have taken on new religious significance.

It is even more obvious that the whole of Europe, West Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa has been paralyzed by the plague, trade has stagnated, inflation has risen, and the prices of necessities have skyrocketed, and even the most wealthy industry, the soldier, has not been able to recruit enough able-bodied men to replenish the army. It can be regarded as a rare short period of peace, which gave the Zanjinu trade the opportunity to develop wildly, and also reduced a lot of trouble for the canal project.

Thankfully, in the West, surgery has emerged as a separate discipline, human anatomy and infectious diseases have been recognized, and healing techniques and herbal medicines from the East have gained reverence and trust. These great cannibals and European surgeons who came to learn Chinese medicine in turn influenced Dayu's traditional Chinese medicine to study blood and surgery more deeply and develop anatomy. The two phases confirm each other, complement each other, and have made great progress from equipment to theory. In this respect, the deep exchange between the world's cultures seems to be the first time that they have been brought together in a tragic but peaceful way.

The most surprising thing is that when tracing the origin of why Dayu was able to formulate such a detailed epidemic prevention manual, the Western Religious Research Party came to a seemingly unrelated conclusion: Orientals who advocate Buddhism have a natural liking for cremation, which is in accordance with the ancient wisdom of 'the unity of heaven and man'. As a result, Buddhism inexplicably gained a group of high-class believers on the European continent and began to spread, and its teachings of tolerance and benevolence were also in line with the trend of the survivors paying attention to the current quality of life and thinking about the value of personal existence, combined with the development of sculpture and other arts, and many Buddhist concepts would be transformed into the Renaissance in the future.

Yuan Yi kept all the broken thoughts of himself in his heart over the years, and his body turned them into reality. The exchange and popularization of epidemic prevention knowledge, strict coastal defense and epidemic infection control not only stopped the Black Death in Tianzhu and kept it away from the East, but also saved the lives of many Westerners. She looked at her husband, who didn't look old at all and didn't have a beard, and said affectionately, "Brother, do you know how good you are!" ”

The people around him were studying how to do the trick next and when to get out of the canal, and when they raised their eyebrows when they heard the words, and stroked the slightly convex soft belly with their big palms, "When you give birth, I can let you know how good I am every night." ”

Gu Ci pinched his hand a little shyly, and then continued to praise without sparing, "You have saved the lives of more than 10 million people!" She reverently took his hand and kissed the dry and warm palm, her eyes full of adoration and love.

"Oh?"

"At least one of the three would have died!"

About a quarter of them are dead now, and based on a population base of nearly 100 million, it is already a great merit!

Yuan Yi smiled and didn't speak, contentedly enjoying her active closeness, but didn't tell her, since he knew that there might be this plague, even if it didn't happen, he had also planned to take the opportunity to trap the murderous Muguls, the shrewd cannibals, the fierce Ottomans, and the greedy Europeans outside the border and kill each other, so as to give Dayu time to become stronger and more unified as much as possible.

Ten years, just give him ten years!

From the first time the Mughumis slaughtered Hami, he gave Gu Xi and the Privy Council a death order to ensure that these potential enemies would not be able to approach the East for at least ten years. The 'unknown truth' Yue is that others think that the border of Dayu is far away from the Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions and can pick up leaks between the Huns and the Mugyus, so they act as the second bait for the Mughurs. The Mughal people will fight all the way to the west, not because they are stupid, but because they know that the Great Yu behind them can join forces with the Great Eclipse in front of them at any time and teach them to be human beings, and they can only fight to support war. Coupled with this Black Death, and the madness of being indistinguishable from the enemy, it is simply a blessing from heaven. As long as you hold the key points of the three mountains and two basins, slowly encroach on the Hengqi Mountains and Xianbei Wilderness, and use the Kangju Grassland and Daxia as a buffer land, you can completely give them up.

He is not a philanthropist, and the maintenance of the annexed city and the rescue of refugees in the Western Regions are just taking advantage of the trend, and other foreign races, such as the Dang Xiang, the Wu'er, and the Kazakhs, are now either exterminated, or scattered in several cities, or on the edge of the cold and difficult Puli, how can we talk about the restoration of the country when the treaty was signed?

The Five Edicts and the Biao Kingdom, which were not really attached to the small countries at the beginning, held the idea of judging and descending from time to time, and now they are controlled by Dayu from the economy to government affairs, and Annam, Goryeo and Ryukyu want to take advantage of the situation to establish power, but they are also honest after the destruction of the Bohai State. Dongying, Nanyang, Chenla, and Sriwijaya have been surrendered, and it is only a matter of time before they become dependent territories, and Siam and Khmer are about to raise the spokesmen of Han Chinese or Dayu.

As the little girl said, control a place economically and culturally, with force as the final blow, as long as the locals live a better life than they live under their own monarch, two or three generations later, there is no reason for that place not to return, and a hundred years later, speaking Chinese and writing Chinese characters, everyone in the new land is a Dayu person.

Since he will be beaten if he is a hundred years behind, let him use these ten years to exchange for China's 100-year lead and become the center of the world. No matter how bad the descendants are, no matter how much civil strife there is, they will not be able to resist the foreigners and be humiliated as slaves.
