Chapter 440: North South Zhili

In fact, in the era that Jiang Feng did not cross, Poland was a weak country, and it was also an arrogant and stupid weak country.

First, in World War II, they were all pitiful characters who were bullied, so as long as it was in middle school

A student who has studied history more or less will not think that there will be anything strong about Poland. In history, especially in the history of the Jiajing period, that is, in the sixteenth century, Poland was at its most bullish, and his wind cavalry shook the European continent and invaded Moscow several times.

The Russian army was defeated, and the Tsar's desire for and expansion of the eastern lands was also due to the fact that the western neighbor was too powerful.

In fact, there are only about 1,000 Polish wind cavalry across Europe, all of which are filled by Polish nobles and nobles, obviously, this thousand people can not support this undefeated myth, in fact, under the wind cavalry, there are also light cavalry and infantry of Cossack freemen, which is the same as the Spartan 300 warriors in the Thermopylae Pass to fight the Persian army of 100,000, in fact, the Spartan servant army also has nearly 10,000.

The Cossacks were exempt from taxes and conscription because of their allegiance to the nobility and their wars, which was also the reason for their brave battles, but now that the industry and commerce in Western Europe are developing rapidly, more and more agricultural people are turning to industry and commerce, and the demand for food, especially imported grain, is also increasing, and the nobility of Eastern and Central Europe has suddenly become more profitable than before.

The demand for labor was also increasing, and the Polish aristocracy issued decrees one after another to turn the formerly free peasants into serfs, but this was still not enough.

The stupid and short-sighted Polish nobles turned their attention to the Cossacks, and although it had not yet been explicitly promulgated, the Cossack freedmen had already begun to flee.

There was basically no suitable environment for the Cossacks to live in Western Europe, and Russia, which was also a Slav, became the best choice, but although the Russian tsar took them in, it was not unprincipled mercy, and the price paid was that it was necessary to expand the land for Tsarist Russia.

The Cossacks had no objection to this decision, they were mercenary free people, but after they arrived in the eastern lands, they found that this matter was very simple, because the so-called Tatars had completely lost the courage and organization of Genghis Khan's cross-Eurasian time, but the Cossacks had accumulated enough experience in the battle with the heavily armored cavalry and infantry in Europe.

Although the thousands of cavalry led by Wanhu Dazhiachi of the Obir Khanate surrounded 400 Cossacks, they did not see any possibility of victory.

The Cossacks formed a simple circle around the carts loaded with luggage, in which women and children loaded ammunition, and men held arquebuses and kept firing outside, yes, there were more than 100 women and children among these Cossacks, and less than 300 men were able to fight.

But despite this, it was still impossible to rush into the opponent's defenses, and on the periphery was people on their backs, and the current Obir Khanate did not even have many big bows, and the time that had been peaceful on the steppe was too long, so that these warriors on horseback had long since degenerated into herdsmen.

After all, the ammunition that 400 men could carry was limited, and after more than 200 of Dariachi's troops died, the frequency of gunfire decreased.

The cavalry of the Obir Khanate, which had gathered a group of five hundred men, under the pressure of the warlords, launched an indomitable charge, and at last someone approached the cart and climbed up with their sabers, but in hand-to-hand combat, the tall Cossacks wielded broadswords and spears without losing the wind.

Coupled with the terrain surrounded by carts, the warriors of the Obir Khanate did not take advantage of any more people at all, and they could not rush in at all, and the Dazhi Achi outside was so anxious that they jumped to their feet, and kept sending their men to rush up, it seems that this battle, although the Obir Khanate was hard, it was still able to win.

At this time, there was a sudden rumbling sound of horses' hooves on the left, Dari Achi turned his head to look, and suddenly his face changed, and the smoke and dust rose in the distance, and he quickly approached this side, on this plain, Dari Achi did not think that there was anyone else who could gather so many cavalry except himself.

It could only be the reinforcements of these hateful ghosts in front of him, Dari Achi knew that he was completely defeated this time, and the cavalry fighting there also saw the smoke and dust in the distance, and they had already lost the will to fight, but were killed by the Cossacks with their men.

Dari Achi didn't say much, just turned the horse's head and galloped in another direction, as soon as the commander left, the others didn't have the courage to fight, and the three thousand cavalry quickly scattered on the plain.

After this day of fighting, the number of Wanhu Nayan of the Obir Khanate was changed from three to two, and a third of the land was lost, and the number of Cossack warriors in this land increased to a thousand, and the Obir Khan issued an order to mobilize, ordering every man who could fight to assemble at the Golden Horde.

At the same time, in the face of military pressure from the Cossacks, they had to temporarily sign an agreement on peace talks, recognizing that the occupied lands were entrusted by the tsar to Count Roganov and had nothing to do with the Obir Khanate.

It's just that spring is coming to an end, and neither side is ready to fight at this time, but either side also knows that when the grass grows and the horses grow fat in autumn, it is the beginning of the big war.

The expeditionary pioneer team led by Liu 13 was still more than three months away from the central core of the Obil Khanate, and was on a boring march at this time.

When Jiang Feng left Jining, there were almost no private merchants on the canal who dared to leave, because the salt merchants of Lianghuai and Shandong drove their salt shovels to fight constantly, and there were many dead people, and more and more innocent people were affected, and now there are many bandits who want to fish in troubled waters.

In the past ten years, these green forest bandits who run the rivers and lakes, mixed cottages, and water villages, and the horses on the road have inexplicably found that their actions have become regular.

What to do, what to do, to kill someone, are all instructed by someone behind, how much money to do is a rule, there are always a few businessmen and gentry behind each cottage to support, if you want to do whatever you want, loot and burn, it will not take long to be exterminated by officers and soldiers, or killed by peers in the name of morality.

Not every force will be favored by businessmen, and as a result, many of the previously powerful forces will be unable to sustain themselves and disappear.

In order to monopolize and secure salt transportation in Shandong, Jiang Feng used power, force and money to coerce Shandong's underground armed forces to obey the norms, and became a pawn under the Jiang family's military system. As a result, Shandong's salt roads and trade routes were extremely prosperous, and other provinces saw Shandong's advanced experience, and of course they learned one after another.

The merchant forces everywhere are in the rapid expansion, and they are becoming more and more vocal in the government, they need to have the force to obey their orders, and they do not want to have any robbers on the trade routes in various places, the method of unifying the salt industry in Shandong was not difficult, and the thirteen chambers of commerce in Jiangnan also did the same, and the same was true for other provinces. The strong people who pursue freedom have only two choices, either to become a nursing home for the merchants outside, or to escape and die.

However, the death of Lin Yutang and the killing of the salt merchants in Huaishang, for a while, many people thought that the fragile order had collapsed, and the remnants of those forces that had collapsed became active, especially on the canal where the incident occurred, and the demons were dancing wildly, and the imperial court maintained order on the canal with sailors and Cao Gang. However, this period of time has been too peaceful, and these people have not even reacted at all.

Only the chamber of commerce and the grain bank have organized people to clean up, but this situation cannot be changed in a short period of time, and this chaos will be chaotic for a while.

Because of this situation, many ships on the canal are in a large group during the day, and they are berthed together at night, but Jiang Feng's ships ignore these, just the rotation of the boatmen day and night, and the ships are constantly moving towards Yangzhou, Tang Xuan on the road is worried, although Tang Xuan has been sold into the Qinglou since she was a child, she can be regarded as growing up in pampering, and she has seen so many bloody fights there.

Jiang Feng's three boats, when there are many people during the day, it is easy to say, but at night there is always the sound of fighting into the cabin, and she is now arranged in a separate cabin, alone, listening to the shouts of fighting outside, there is always a little creepy feeling.

However, looking at the calm and abnormally calm faces of the guards who were traveling with him, if it weren't for hearing those voices at night, Tang Xuan wouldn't even know if those fights had happened at night.

Every day, Tang Xuan has to go to Jiang Feng's room to clean up, she is now a little resigned to her identity as a maid, but Jiang Feng's true identity, she is also becoming more and more curious, when she was in Yangzhou, although she was raised in the boudoir, but those 'looking at the goods' of the high rollers have still seen a lot, and there are even sons of the princess in them. But these people seem to be inferior to Jiang Feng, both in terms of style and money.

When Tang Xuan walked into the house, he saw Jiang Feng and Feng Yong talking and laughing there, Feng Yong sat down and said with a respectful smile:

"My lord's martial arts are not diminished back then!"

"Don't flatter, I haven't been active for a long time, I only killed a dozen last night, but it's not fun, it's not fun......"
