Chapter 300: The Marquis of Dashun (1)
Just when Li Hongji was struggling to find the real goal of the Tsarist Russian Empire, he received a holy decree from the capital, Zhu Youxiao granted him the Marquis of Dashun, and let him take Shunhe City as the basis, and the territory developed in the future will be under his management, and there are a large number of materials with the holy decree, whether it is military or civilian materials, it is very much, and he tried his best to help him expand his territory. This good news immediately made Li Hongji and his subordinates extremely happy, their results were affirmed by the Ming Emperor, and they needed to work harder to repay the emperor's reward.
When Li Hongji was happy in Shunhe City, Governor Aisha and Grei III on the Molochinaya River were really hard, and bad news kept coming, their purpose of recruiting troops from the Crimean Khanate was not achieved, and there was no army willing to help them, which was also a little ghost from Gerai III, which made Governor Aishad very disappointed, and he didn't know what to do next, whether he should ask for help from home.
But the news that followed made Glay III despair, and the already precarious ruler was deposed because of the defeat in the war, and the new monarch Jay Glay ascended to the throne with the support of many supporters. This also blames Gray III for his own carelessness, if he listens to Governor Eishad and gathers more troops around him, even if there are many supporters, Jay Gray will also be due to whether the coup will succeed, but it is such a coincidence, the army is out of control and Gray III has completely lost hope.
When Gree III was desperate, Governor Eishad wanted to see hope, and he hoped that Jay Gray could help him mobilize a large army to help him launch his next counterattack, for which he made a great offer, promising to ask Murad IV to give them more support. However, Jay Gray rejected his request and ignored what energy a dying governor could have, and he had already received the promise of the next governor, much better than the promise of Governor Eishad.
Immediately the positions of Governor Eisha and Grei III were unified again, Governor Gerhard saw the hope of unity, and Grei III had to unite with Governor Gerhard, after all, the two still have an army of more than 100,000 soldiers, especially the army of the Ottoman Empire with better military equipment, the Ottoman Empire is the suzerainty of the Crimean Khanate, and it naturally has a psychological advantage. The two commanded the army and quickly launched an attack on the Crimean peninsula, shouting the slogan of counterinsurgency, and a civil war began on the Crimean peninsula. However, a new situation arose, and this time the incident happened even more suddenly, which caught everyone off guard, and the troops of the Tsarist Empire participated in the war.
The main ethnic group of the Crimean Khanate was the Tatars, but there were many Goths, Greeks, Armenians, Circassians, Jews, etc., because the Khanate imposed a special poll tax on them, which caused them to be extremely dissatisfied, especially this war, which made them pay more taxes - war taxes.
The Jews, Goths, Greeks and Armenians were the main forces that brought the Russian Empire into the war this time, and the Jews and Circassians who sponsored their financial resources were the Jews and the Circassians.
The Jews are the smartest people in the world, they are both God's favorites and God's outcasts, they are good at grabbing wealth, and they are extremely greedy, and their merchants will appear everywhere in Europe, which makes people very disgusted, but they have to deal with them because they are too good at business. The war in the steppes of Eastern Europe cost the Jews a lot of money, but they also saw an opportunity, and the intelligence officers of the Tsarist Empire gave them the promise of equal business and reduced taxes, and they funded and united these minorities to lead the way of the Tsarist Empire's advance into the Crimean Khanate.
The Russian Empire had long been ready for revenge, and the Crimean Khanate had broken through Moscow more than seventy years ago, capturing 150,000 Russians and bleeding Moscow. In addition to revenge, the Tsarist Russian Empire has long coveted the Crimean Peninsula, and the incomparable desire for access to the sea has been their dream for many years.
More than 200,000 Russian and Cossack cavalry had long been waiting for the Crimean Khanate, and under the leadership of the Crimean Khanate, they marched down the Dnieper River and marched into the Crimean Peninsula with lightning speed. Neither of the two forces on the Crimean Peninsula, which was engaged in a fierce civil war, expected the participation of this huge army, and for a time they were blindsided, believing that the other side had colluded with the Tsarist Empire, and the contradictions intensified.
Regardless of how they blamed each other, the combined forces of the Tsarist Empire, led by the Belt and Road Party, rushed directly to the capital of the Crimean Khanate, and after landing on the Crimean Peninsula, they rampage from the northern plains, and the fierce, fierce and cruel Cossack cavalry was extremely fast, and in a very short time broke through the capital of the Crimean Khanate, Jay Gray was forced to flee, and the entire peninsula fell into the hands of the Russian Empire.
In Buddhist terms, it is called karma, in Christian terms, it is called a tooth for a tooth, the army of the Tsarist Russian Empire that occupied the Crimean Peninsula in addition to clearing the remnants of the Crimean Khanate, began to carry out murderous revenge on the former invaders, a large number of Tatars of the Crimean Khanate were taken captive and expelled, young and middle-aged were plundered back to the Tsarist Empire as serfs, the old and young were helpless or killed, or fled from the peninsula to survive, the Crimean Khanate was over, and the Ottoman Empire lost a large area of land again in a very short time, The Tsarist Empire reaped the dividends of war again.
Emperor Murad IV, who was far away in the capital of the Ottoman Empire, finally felt the crisis, and this expansion of the Tsarist Empire was too fast, and he was in a big trouble. If he hadn't been so greedy in his heart at the beginning, he would have cut off a piece of meat from Poland-Lithuania, and not let Governor Aisha and Glei III attack Li Hongji's forces, there would not have been such a drastic change all of a sudden, there is no regret medicine in the world, Murad IV had to swallow this bitter fruit, lick his wounds, and take revenge.
The news of the state of the Marquis of Dashun spread very quickly, not only the Tsarist Empire, but also the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom, the Ottoman Empire, and even the Kingdom of Austria, the Kingdom of Greece, and the Kingdom of Hungary. Among these countries, the most stable in their hearts is the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom, they are most worried about the Tsarist Empire and the Ottoman Empire, and the establishment of the Marquis of Dashun is like an iron thorn pierced between the two, this iron thorn is still established with their acquiescence, naturally it will not be unfavorable to them, the relative Tsarist Empire and the Ottoman Empire should be more careful, especially the greedy Tsarist Russian Empire.
Expelled from the capital, Jay Glay became a loner, his throne was not recognized by the Ottoman Emperor Murad IV, and his declaration of the title of Great Khan of the Crimean Khanate became a pretext for Glay III's attack, and to his further disappointment, the governor who supported him no longer bothered him, and Jay Glay had to take his personal retinue and more than 20,000 remnants into the southern semi-mountainous region to survive. Fortunately, the army of Governor Echard and Grei III did not penetrate much into the Crimean peninsula, and the combined forces of the Tsarist Empire were eager to attack the capital, so they got a respite and quickly withdrew from the war along the northern passage of the Crimean peninsula, retaining most of the strength of the army, and returned to the small town by the Molochinaya River, where they became a large force.
When the Crimean Peninsula underwent drastic changes, Li Hongji's Dashun Marquis was not idle, Dashun Marquis Li Hongji was helped again at Hong Chengchou, a large number of materials were transported one after another, and the displaced people caused by the war continued to pour here, Dashun Marquis Li Hongji used his victory to prove to the displaced people that he had the qualifications to protect them, and the residents in the territory began to truly recognize Li Hongji's strength. When Li Hongji's recruitment order was issued, people's enthusiasm to join the army was high, and soon Li Hongji's army expanded to 50,000 people. Compared with the surrounding Ottoman Empire, the Tsarist Russian Empire, and the Polish-Lithuanian Kingdom, these 50,000 troops are insignificant, but the real combat strength is not comparable to them, not to mention that 30,000 troops defeated the Ottoman coalition army of 100,000 is the best example, and no one dares to underestimate this emerging princely state.
