Gushi Khan was not incompetent, on the contrary, his literary and martial arts were quite outstanding, and he can be said to be the most outstanding leader in the history of the Tile Spur after Yexian.

At the beginning of his succession as the leader of the alliance of the Tile Thorn tribes, the Tile Thorn was far less powerful than the Tatars, not to mention the pitiful small territory, and he was also facing the attack of the Mongol tribes in Mobei, which was in danger.

In the face of this crisis, he showed extraordinary ability, and as soon as he succeeded to the throne, he used the strategy of long-distance and close attack to resolve the attack of the Mongol tribes in Mobei against the Tile Spur Division;

Immediately afterwards, he united with Batur Huntaiji of the Gurgar Department to defeat the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and occupy Yili Shori;

Later, he led the Varspur tribes to fight everywhere, defeated the Kazakh Khanate, the Yarkand Khanate and the Bulak Khanate, and occupied most of the land in the Western Regions, making the Varspur tribe flourish for a while.

In other words, how could such an eloquent and strategic Khan listen to a general of Tsarist Russia talking nonsense there, didn't he have a little judgment?

In fact, the main reason is that what Kopelov said earlier has nothing to do with the Tile Spur Department, whether Tsarist Russia provokes the Ming Empire, or the anti-Habsburg coalition wants to clean up the Ming Empire, it is their own business, and the only thing Gushi Khan has to consider is how to benefit from it.

Therefore, Koperov was allowed to talk nonsense in front of him, and Gushi Khan didn't bother to think about it, but as soon as he mentioned sending troops, he immediately became engrossed, which was related to his own interests.

Send troops to attack the Ming Dynasty, he also wants to, but this timing is very important, the best time is, of course, to wait until Tsarist Russia and the Ming Dynasty are both defeated, and now, the two sides have not started to fight hard, let him go, this, it is basically difficult, unless there are enough interests.

What's the best thing to order? Gu Shi Khan thought about it, and he really couldn't think of it for a while, so he simply opened his mouth and said: "Your Excellency, General, you just said that your allies are providing food and weapons in order to let you send troops to deal with the Ming Empire. “

When Koperov heard this, he secretly cursed the old fox in his heart, but it was already very good to be able to fool him into sending troops, and as for food and weapons, we could talk about it slowly.

He pretended to be embarrassed, and said weakly: "This, Great Khan, our allies are asking us to fight with the Ming Empire, and it is appropriate to provide food and weapons." But, now, we just want you to distract the Ming Empire, this is not dangerous, and you can grab a lot of things, food and weapons are free, right? “

When Gu Shihan heard this, he was not happy, I can rob a lot of things, then it's your business, as long as you fight, when will I rob it, he said with a cold face: "Your Excellency General, it's not right for you to say this, you also know that if I wait for you to fight before sending troops, the pressure will be much smaller, and if you want to send troops in advance, you will definitely be targeted by the Ming Empire, how can it be dangerous?" “

Koperov smiled and said: "Great Khan, you said that the Ming Empire has 100,000 horses on the Western Front, and you can at least organize an army of 300,000 or 400,000, what danger can there be?" “

Gushi Khan didn't answer and asked, "Didn't you say that the Ming Empire can also recruit soldiers?" Now there are only 100,000, and one conscription, four or five hundred thousand are possible! “

Koperov smiled awkwardly and quibbled: "Conscription takes time, like us, it will take at least three or four months from conscription, to drills, to putting into the battlefield, by then, the Great War in Siberia has already begun, and the attention of the Ming Empire will definitely be focused there, Great Khan, you don't have to worry." “

Gushi Khan shook his head and said: "You can't say that, the Siberian Ming Empire will pay attention to it, but they are likely to pay more attention to the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, because once the Shaanxi Xingdu Division is the Shaanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, it is the last pass to their Central Plains hinterland, can the Ming Empire not pay attention to it?" “

This old guy is not stupid at all, Koperov's eyes rolled, and he flattered: "No matter how much the Ming Empire attaches importance to it, they have a total of 100,000 regular troops in the west, with the ability of the Great Khan, it is not easy to clean them up, kill these 100,000 regular troops, even if they gather hundreds of thousands of new soldiers, will you still be afraid of those recruits?" “

Gu Shi Khan still shook his head and said: "The regular legions of the Ming Empire have muskets and artillery, and it is not so easy to clean up. “

Koperov hurriedly flickered: "Actually, muskets and artillery are not so powerful, they may have a little advantage in the face of infantry, but there is no advantage at all in the face of cavalry, you think, with the speed of cavalry, in the time when they rush to them, how many shots can they fire, and how many cannons can they fire?" “

This time Gu Shi Khan is not so easy to fool, he resolutely shook his head and said: "The lethality of the musket and artillery is very terrifying, even if they can't fire a few shots, they can't fire a few shots, we will also suffer heavy casualties, no, no, you must provide us with muskets and artillery, otherwise the casualties will be too great." “

There can be muskets, artillery, we don't have enough for ourselves, Kopelov pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said: "We can provide you with a little musket, artillery can't be helped, and our allies have not provided us with artillery." “

Gu Shi Khan seemed to have turned into a rattle at this moment, but he still shook his head and said: "No, it's too much of a loss without artillery, this battle is not easy to fight." “

Koperov's eyes rolled and coaxed: "Great Khan, in fact, the artillery is not so terrifying, at most the first round is a little lethal, and the back is basically in vain." “

Gu Shi Khan asked curiously, "Oh, what do you say?" “

"We know from those of us who have used artillery that it is very difficult to move, so the landing point that he hits is fixed, and after the first round, you can see the landing point, as long as you avoid the landing point, the artillery is useless." “

Gushi Khan was suspicious: "Impossible, right? You say it's hard to move artillery, so how do you move it to the city walls? “

Koperov then flickered: "Great Khan, don't you know, how troublesome it is to move hundreds of kilograms of things, it takes at least a day or two for an artillery to be moved to the city wall, it is easy for you to rush thousands of miles away in a day or two, can the artillery hit thousands of miles away?" “

Gu Shi Khan really doesn't know much about artillery, he really hasn't seen a movable artillery, since artillery is so useless, then ask for muskets, he opened his mouth directly and said: "Okay, don't want artillery, you need to provide more muskets, at least 100,000, the 100,000 regular army of the Ming Dynasty all have muskets." “

Kopelov was embarrassed and said: "Great Khan, I don't know if my 200,000 recruits can be equipped with muskets before the year, so let's think of a way to give you 10,000 pieces." “

Gu Shi Khan's heart was simply happy, this one will have 10,000 muskets, Daming's musket is priced at two hundred and one taels, and he will not sell it to them, this time he will earn two million taels, it is so cool, he continued to bargain: "How can 10,000 be done, it is too little, there is no way to fight with others, at least 80,000." “

Kopelov bargained: "Actually, the muskets are not so powerful, you line up the musketeers in the middle, and the cavalry on both sides rushes and kills the enemy at once, why do you want so many muskets, so let's think of a way to give you 20,000 pieces." “

Gu Shi Khan shook his head and said: "At least 60,000 handfuls, otherwise it will be too much of a loss to fight." “

Koperov gritted his teeth and said: "Thirty thousand, I can only make up so much." “

Gu Shi Khan said resolutely: "Fifty thousand, no less, no less, I will wait for you to fight." “

Koperov pretended to be desperate and said: "Great Khan, you are almost killing me, okay, 50,000 is 50,000, I can only let 50,000 soldiers carry swords on their backs!" “
