Chapter 393: Beast Legion
Before the winter of the fourth year of Hongguang, Mo Yanhua, the little uncle of Pingbei and the general of Zhenbei, conquered the entire territory east of the Ural Mountains.
What is even more incredible is that just as the dust settles in Siberia, the Kazakh Khanate, which lives in the Kipchak steppe on the southern side, actually sends emissaries asking for an alliance with the Ming court.
The Great Khan of the Kazakh Khanate, named Jangar, was very sincere, and he not only sent gifts to Zhou Huchen and Mo Yanhua, but his envoy also promised that once the peace talks went well, Jangar Khan would supply Zhou Huchen's army.
It was the Turks who solved this mystery for Zhou Huchen, and the tribe of the Kazakh Khanate was divided into large Yuz, middle Yuz, and small Yuz. It is also known as a big tent, a medium tent, and a small tent. The territory of the Kazakh Khanate is not small, mainly living in the Kipchak steppes, belonging to the Turkic people.
After defeating Tsarist Russia, the army captured a lot, and there should be no problem in getting through this winter, but Zhou Huchen didn't mind the goodwill of the Kazakh Khanate, the more supplies the better, and there were still many battles behind him. Moreover, both sides have a common enemy; Dzungar Khanate.
The east and south sides of the Kazakh Khanate are Dzungaria, and now Dzungaria is very powerful, with a territory three times the size of the Kazakh Khanate, and it is reasonable for the Dzungar with many troops to bully the Kazakh Khanate.
The Dzungar Khanate is a branch of the Mongolian tribe of Oirat Mongolia, is a tribe with a long history, in various historical periods have different titles, the Yuan Dynasty called Han Yirati, the Ming Dynasty called Warat, the Qing called Oirat, also known as Erut, Erut or Western Mongolia, Moxi Mongolia. The Oirat Mongols are divided into four major tribes: Heshute, Dzungar, Duerbot, and Turgot. And now, the Turkuts in Siberia are one of the ones that have moved out of the Dzungar Khanate.
The current Great Khan of Dzungar is Batur, who continued to expand his territory after his accession to the throne, and built his own capital in Bokseri, and then formulated the "Oirat Code" and formally established the Dzungar Khanate.
Batur, known as Batur Huntaiji, once repelled two successive Russian invasions, forcing Russia to recognize the independence of the Dzungar Khanate. Diplomatic relations between countries on an equal footing have been established with each other, and trade between the two countries has also been exchanged. Not long ago, Batur Huntaiji instructed Lama Zayabandida to transform the past Mongolian script into the "Toqin" script as the unified script of the Dzungar Khanate.
It was an expanding Dzungar Khanate and a khanate with great ambitions. Although it temporarily defeated Tsarist Russia, it was a pity that Zhou Huchen knew that this Dzungar Khanate did not develop as fast as Tsarist Russia, because Tsarist Russia was backed by Europe, and their way to introduce advanced technology and weapons was much faster than that of the Dzungars. Plus the issue of productivity. The Dzungar Khanate will soon fall behind to slag. In the years that followed, sooner or later the Dzungar Khanate would become a vassal of Tsarist Russia and bring great trouble to Siberia and the Ming Dynasty, so Zhou Huchen's subsequent conquest of it was not discussed.
Before the onset of winter, the Great Khan of Turghut on the Volga River, Gezhiletu, sent someone to bring the news that he was ready.
When the Great Khan of the Kazakh Khanate, Jangar, sent a large supply to Zhou Huchen's army, everything fell silent in winter. When the vast white snow covered the land and mountains, Zhou Huchen and all his men began to winter again
Spring in South Siberia comes early. As wildlife begins to emerge in the white wilderness, a hint of spring breeze makes the snow and ice slowly melt.
For Zhou Huchen, the Ural Mountains are not the end.
On February 15 of the fifth year of Hongguang, Zheng Sen and Yan Bingtai were left in place. In the name of stabilizing the hearts of the army, Zhou Huchen sat in the Chinese army, and Mo Yanhua, the general of the northern part of the town, was the vanguard, and the 150,000 cavalry army easily crossed the Ural River in the south of the Ural Mountains. This was followed by a rapid approach to the lower reaches of the Volga.
At the same time that Mo Yanhua's vanguard was approaching the Volga, a 30,000-strong Turghut Mongol army quickly integrated.
It's not a land of abundance, but it's much richer than sparsely populated Siberia. The Ming army, which had never burned and looted, suddenly turned into a crazy beast. Under the leadership of the Mongolian cavalry, the soldiers of the Ming army participated, robbing the light, killing the light, and destroying everything that could be destroyed
Guo Ziqing also went out with the army this time, and he watched countless houses being set on fire, and the people were ruthlessly cut down to the ground by the soldiers, who would not only steal their belongings, but also take away those young alien women
This is not the army that Guo Ziqing sees as not taking a stitch from the people, but Guo Ziqing can't stop the collective behavior of the soldiers, and he doesn't have that right. The disciplined army became a beast army in the blink of an eye, and hundreds of people were crying in pools of blood, which Guo Ziqing really couldn't accept.
The only person who could stop this behavior was in front of Guo Ziqing, who knelt in front of Zhou Huchen's horse.
"The subordinates have no objection to fighting the Rakshasas, and please have mercy on the people! Our army has never been so brutal! ”
Zhou Huchen understands Guo Ziqing, but unfortunately, he understands the Rakshasa people better.
Shaking his head gently, Zhou Huchen closed his eyes, Guo Ziqing was wrong, he didn't understand the threat and brutality of this nation and country, nor did he understand their greed. But Zhou Huchen can't explain it to him in detail now:
"General Guo, get up! Our soldiers are poor, so they have to rob property, they have to rob women if they lack women, it's nothing! ”
"Dashuai, what are those people? Although they are of a different race, they are also a common people, and you have taught us not to take a stitch from the people, and not to take a grain of grain from the people. The Cossacks are brutal, but we are not Cossacks! We are the army of the Ming Dynasty, and our traditions have never been like this! Our army cannot be turned into beasts"
Guo Ziqing didn't get up, the Zhou Huchen in his eyes changed, he became a complete stranger, and the image of the handsome man he admired the most collapsed.
Zhou Huchen was unmoved: "Let's say so!" I'm here this time to kill and rob, to make these barbarians who are trying to peek into the territory of China tremble under my soldiers! We're going to pull back after this killing, I don't want to make this country strong, you know? ”
Guo Ziqing still knelt on the ground weakly, he lowered his head: "Then please remove the marshal from his subordinate position." ”
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Huchen understood what Guo Ziqing meant, and he smiled bitterly: "That's good!" Military Judge! Tie up General Guo for me, put him in the army for disobeying military orders, and deal with him personally when I go back. ”
The smoke stretched for thousands of miles, how could the Tsarist government sit idly by, the envoys had already come several times, but unfortunately, Mo Yanhua was not in charge, and Zhou Huchen turned a blind eye.
As the most powerful country in Eastern Europe, Tsarist Russia is not a soft persimmon, when Mo Yanhua led a huge army of burning, killing and looting into the Central European Plain, an expected collision was about to begin.
Tsarist Russia, which had been waiting for a long time, prepared artillery this time and prepared more than 200,000 troops.
Zhou Huchen didn't move, because this was the best time to test Mo Yanhua, people need to grow, and a battle between large armies was rare for Mo Yanhua.
Maybe this operation will bring great losses, and maybe the army that I have worked so hard to train will never be the same as before, and it will have a great negative impact. But Zhou Huchen did not hesitate, every era has its own differences, since he came, Zhou Huchen could not restrain his soldiers according to the requirements of a certain era, nor could he act according to that kind of traditional Chinese morality.
There is no mercy in war, and there is no cruelty between nations.
There is a kind of hatred in Zhou Huchen's xingzhong, and when he comes, he will set off a monstrous wave, and he will let this place be shattered and beaten to pieces, just so that the Mo family father and son have time to tidy up the entire Siberia.
Leaving space for the expansion of Huaxia and leaving hope for the future for countless Huaxia people, Zhou Huchen didn't care, what was it to become a beast army in the eyes of aliens?
