Zhu Youxiao quickly issued a decree to Li Hongji, asking him to gain a foothold in the northern part of the Assyrian Sea as much as possible, strive to unite the Tatars there, and expel the Eastern Slavs there, after all, the main inhabitants there are still Tatars, help the Ottoman Empire at a critical time, and then think of taking a bite of meat from the Ottoman Empire, and it would be better to be able to occupy the Crimean Peninsula. If the Ottoman Empire can resist the southward advance of the Tsarist Empire, it is also necessary to let the Ottoman Empire keep the territory of the European part, so that the Ottoman Empire will become a nail in the head of the Europeans, so that they can always be on guard.

Zhu Youxiao's letter quickly spread to the Western Regions, and Hong Chengchou saw the holy decree sent to him, the main content of which was to let him form a cavalry force of 5,000 people as quickly as possible, plus 5,000 infantry, these people must be equipped with the best weapons of the Ming Dynasty, and then equipped with a large number of weapons and ammunition, at least to ensure that Li Hongji can be used for three months, and can fight five larger battles.

After Hong Chengchou read this holy decree, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Li Hongji's luck was too good, why didn't he think of going on an adventure? It seems that young people still have courage! Looking at the location of the map just filled in on the wall, Hong Chengchou admired Zhu Youxiao even more, how old is this emperor, how can he have such a high strategic vision! It looks like it's higher than the grandfather's vision back then.

Since the emperor attaches so much importance to Li Hongji, and Hong Chengchou is Li Hongji's partner, he naturally will not treat Li Hongji badly, so he doubled the military supplies requested by Zhu Youxiao, and in order to show his attention, he wrote a letter and reported it to Zhu Youxiao, and made a good person to the end, and also said that he respected Li Hongji very much and did not have any jealousy.

After preparing all the military supplies and food, he handed over these things to Yuan Chongdi, Li Guo, and Liu Fangliang, who came with the holy decree, these people were all good friends with Li Hongji at the beginning, since they were all Li Hongji's subordinates in history, Zhu Youxiao still put them all together this time to see if they could create a greater miracle.

Yuan Chongdi, Li Guo, and Liu Fangliang traveled westward with troops and supplies, and it didn't take long to find Li Hongji, who was still wandering around the northern section of the Assyrian Sea. The matter is very simple, Li Hongji is also waiting for the will of the imperial court, and he does not dare to stay away from this area, and Li Hongji really found that this place is good, and the location is very important.

Through contact with Vykosky for a period of time, Li Hongji learned a lot about the situation here from him, the southwestern part of the Assyrian Sea in front of him is the territory of the Ottoman Empire, Poland is competing with the Ottoman Empire, but the situation in this area controlled by Poland is very unstable, the Tsarist Russian Empire is secretly in contact with the Eastern Slavic Cossack cavalry of this generation, and then the Ottoman Empire is gradually weakening, and the Crimean Khanate under them is under great threat, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Kingdom of Greece, and the Kingdom of Hungary in Europe. Neighboring countries such as the Kingdom of Sicily continued to encroach on his territory.

With the arrival of Yuan Chongdi and others, Vykosky finally saw the powerful power of Li Hongji's troops, and the little Jiujiu in his heart gradually began to calm down, this is not a force he can control, and it is very unrealistic to establish his own sphere of influence with the help of this force. As a result, Vikosky changed his position, and if he hugged this thigh, he would at least become a nobleman.

Li Hongji didn't know how much change his arrival would bring to this place, but now it was indeed going to change, more than a month had passed since the battle took place in the small village, and the news that more than 1,000 Polish troops had been annihilated here had completely spread in the surrounding areas, and under the influence of this news, various forces in the vicinity began to move, and there were faint intelligence officers from the Tsarist Russian Empire here.

The nobles of the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom finally saw the crisis of the situation, and they began to pay attention to this information, and when they learned that a large number of Ming troops had come to this area, the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom finally could not sit still, and they sent an army of 100,000 people to try to strangle Li Hongji, a new force, in the cradle state.

On the Assyrian coast on the west bank of the Don River, Li Hongji had just established a small town here, called Shunhe City, and the nearby Tatars also saw the strength of these armies from the far east that were a little related to them, and this army was very civilized and rich, and there was an endless stream of like-minded tribes, which was a very good opportunity, and Li Hongji took this opportunity to establish his sphere of influence here, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

The Polish-Lithuanian army was very slow to build, and their state system determined their efficiency, and the forward troops, more than 30,000 people, were not slow, and they quickly rushed to the vicinity of the town. When they learned that more than 40 people had annihilated all of their more than 1,000 people, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to come up and attack, so they stationed in a town more than 100 miles away, waiting for the arrival of a large army, which made Li Hongji and others scold them for being too timid.

What Li Hongji didn't know was that things had changed even more now, just when the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom was about to make a move against them, the intelligence officers of the Tsarist Russian Empire hidden in Kiev had already transmitted the news to the country, but the Tsarist Empire, which had always been procrastinating in its actions, was moving quickly this time, a large number of officers and intelligence personnel quickly went south, and the intelligence officers stationed there were also large-scale operations, contacting tens of thousands of Cossack cavalry in a very short period of time, and began to assemble from the east bank of the Dnieper River, preparing to launch an armed uprising. Control the eastern bank of the Dnieper in the hands of the Tsarist Empire.

Historically, this event occurred more than 20 years later, led by the Cossack leader Khmelnitsky, who launched an armed uprising, and later signed the "Pereyaslav Peace Treaty" with the Tsarist Empire, inviting Tsarist Russia to rule Eastern Ukraine, and since then Eastern Ukraine (the left bank of the Dnieper River) has officially merged with the Russian Empire, beginning the history of the alliance between Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine's geographical location is important, its natural conditions are good, and it has historically been a battleground for soldiers, so Ukraine has suffered from war. The Ukrainian nation is a branch of the ancient Rus' nation, and naturally has a certain sense of closeness to the Russian Empire, as for the later contradictions, they were deliberately created by some careerists and foreign forces in collusion for their own interests.

The Turghut Khanate, once founded by the Mongols of China in the Volga valley in the mid-17th century, also took part in the Russo-Polish war, sending cavalry to help the Russian allies attack Poland. Poland tried unsuccessfully to persuade the Turks to move west to Polish-controlled western Ukraine, where they turned against Russia.

But now the effect of Zhu Youxiao's butterfly has affected the development process of history, the Turhut Khanate has not been established, it has been annexed to the Ming Dynasty, and it will not settle in the lower reaches of the Volga River again, and there will be no tragic eastward return incident in the future. However, this time it was Li Hongji who led the more powerful Ming army here, and history will be changed because of this.

In a small city a hundred miles away from the Don River, the 30,000 Polish-Lithuanian soldiers stationed there did not dare to march, since they knew the strength of the Ming army, and also knew that the Tsarist Empire was instigating the Cossack soldiers on the east bank of the Dnieper River to rebel, the former battlefield advantage made them more willing to deal with the soldiers of the Tsarist Empire, and the Tsarist Russian Empire had a greater influence on them. The Ming army only had more than 10,000 troops here, and the Tsarist Empire probably poured all its strength into seizing this land, and the threat was even greater.

It seems that the army of the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom will not come over in a short time, but Li Hongji does not dare to have any idea of relaxation, as an outsider who has just broken into an unfamiliar area, he will face more challenges, and it is not easy to achieve the emperor's goal. The Polish-Lithuanian army did not come to attack because of the sudden pinning down of the Russian Empire, but the Ottoman Overseers would not easily allow themselves to gain a foothold here, and perhaps they would greedily seize the place.

The Tsarist Empire moved quickly, and the Cossack cavalry was gathering quickly, and they were waiting for the army of the Polish-Lithuanian kingdom to attack Li Hongji's town? But if the Poles move, they will strike a thunderous blow. Tsar Mikhail Romanov was well aware of the strength of the Ming army, in the vast land of Western Siberia, they suffered a lot, and were driven back to the western side of the Ural Mountains in disarray, so when the intelligence officers learned that there was a Ming army operating in the Assyrian Sea, they began to organize troops, also to profit from it, so that the situation became unpredictable.
