The sky is high and the clouds are light and the autumn is high and refreshing, and the sky seems to have risen by 100,000 li all at once. The autumn grass on the ground is withered and yellow, and the earth is a mess after harvesting.

The farther north you go, the colder it gets, and the colder Dolgon's heart becomes.

When passing by Kyiv, I still have expectations in my heart, hoping that this is also a bustling city, at least I still have room to play.

He went disappointed, and compared to Constantinople, Kiev was a pigeon cage. The shops on the street are less than half of Constantinople's. The population is also much smaller, with Dolgon estimating a maximum of 100,000 people.

At night, it's a dark world. The dwelling emits a little bit of light, similar to a firefly. Not to mention that compared to Mumbai, even compared to Constantinople is far behind.

The further north you go, the fewer cities there are. The earth was close to a wild state, and the grass on the ground was more than a man's height. Sometimes when you ride a horse through the grassland, you need to use a compass to make out the direction.

This is the famous Kipchak steppe, which is very suitable for grazing. So the ancient Mongols stayed here and established the Kipchak Khanate. The Russian nation, as a Slav, was ruled by the Mongols for three hundred years.

Mongolians prefer pastures to grain production.

"Dolgon, this place is like a wilderness, worse than Heilongjiang. Are we really developing here? Zilharan looked at Dorgon worriedly.

"Zilharang, what we want is the Savage Land. Mumbai is bustling, and so is Constantinople. But how about you take a look? Li Xiao is like a shark that smells blood, as long as he smells the smell of prosperity, the army will chase and kill him.

There is no way around it, and only when we get to Moscow can we be better. When I was in Mumbai before, I helped Kutuzov a lot. I hope he still remembers this favor, and of course, we can also help the Russians become stronger.

Let's not forget, the Russians once fought with the Ming in Heilongjiang. For Russia, they don't like the Ming Dynasty and hate it even more. It's just that there's no way to take Daming! Dolgon took a sip of the wine in the glass bottle, and took one last sip. The remnant of wine poured into his mouth and threw out a few drops vigorously.

After "smacking" and "smacking", he threw the bottle far away.

"Will the Russians be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty?" Zilharang expressed doubts about the combat effectiveness of the Russians.

Until now, Zilharang found that as long as Li Xiao was still in command of this Ming army, it seemed that there was no power in the world that could defeat him.

Even, the military forces of the whole world combined were unable to defeat the Ming Dynasty.

"Brother! Daming did not develop to this day all at once, and they also came step by step. India once had a chance to catch up, alas! was interrupted by Da Ming.

If you look at the trajectory of Li Xiao's conquest, you will know that his enthusiasm for the land is not high. He was not as greedy as his ancestors, he was just interested in resources and wealth.

So! You look at his attack on India, his attack on Constantinople, all of which were so that the Ming could better plunder resources and develop trade routes.

In the later stage, India is actually not worse than Ming in terms of technology. We have also developed airships, machine guns, artillery and even generators, and we have already developed a prototype, and it only takes another year or two to study it, and India can send out electricity like the Ming Dynasty.

There are some things you may not know yet, but the direction that Mr. Newton is working on is the gasoline engine. This is a kind of refined oil as the driving force, which is more powerful than the steam engine, and it is also more convenient and fast. According to the reports of the meticulous workers, the gasoline engine researched by Mr. Newton is even more advanced than that of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"But in the end, we failed! In Mumbai we were defeated, and even Wu Sangui disappeared in the chaos. Do you think he can escape? ”

"I don't know, maybe I can't. Wu Sangui is not a cunning person, his character is more rigid and self-serving.

From the last attack on Zhangxi, I knew that Wu Sangui was finished. Because Mumbai seems to be prosperous on the surface, but in fact, except for Mumbai, the entire Indian economy has collapsed.

The terrible thing about the Ming is that they can attack continuously. There are unlimited manpower, material and financial resources in the country for them to squander, but in the end, India has to grab grain from the farmers who farm the land.

It is not so much that India was defeated militarily, but that Wu Sangui only focused on the military industry and ignored the economy. As a result, India was so militaristic that the domestic economy collapsed. The soldiers did not have bullets, the artillery did not have shells, and even the soldiers could not even fill their stomachs.

How can such an army fight.

I hope that this time I will be able to meet the Tsar in Russia, I have heard that the Tsar of Russia is quite wise. As long as he accepts my idea of governance, I will be able to make Russia flourish on this soil.

In less than 20 years, this will be a country side by side with the Ming Dynasty. At that time, we can definitely fight back to our hometown in Liaodong.

Twenty years, at the age of you and me, we can still afford to wait. Dolgon's eyes looked into the distance, solemn and deep. It seems that I want to look through thousands of mountains and rivers to see my hometown of Shenyang, Liaoyang, and Hetuala's hometown in eastern Liaodong.

"Hey......! I hope we can still have a chance to return to our hometown, the Great Khan once established such a powerful khanate, but in the end it was defeated by Li Xiao.

The hateful Li Xiao can always come up with some strange weapons. The elite soldiers of our Eight Banners were all destroyed in his hands. Now when I think of him, I want to eat his flesh and drink his blood. When Li Xiaolai was mentioned, Zilharang gritted his teeth with hatred.

"Huh! Zilharang, you are wrong. Li Xiao relied on sharp weapons to fight, but he was even more of a master of strategy and tactics.

Although he was an enemy, I still admired his strategic vision.

In dealing with our Houjin, he constantly divided the way to encircle and suppress, and used powerful weapons to consume our vital strength. Dealing with the Indians, he constantly lured Wu Sangui into battle, and it was all a war of high attrition.

The aid to the Dzungar Mongols greatly depleted India's national strength. In the end, it led to the collapse of India's national power, and Li Xiao won almost without a fight.

Looking at this time against the Ottomans, the powerful Ottoman Empire, in an instant, the mountains and rains are about to come, and the building will fall. Siege of Constantinople as soon as I struck, if I expected it to be true.

At this time, the elite Turkic warriors of Sasenita and Sophia Fort had been wiped out by Li Xiao. The army of Koprulu is also more than auspicious.

After destroying the army of the Turks, the Turks were like tigers without teeth and claws. No matter how much you toss, you will only scream in two voices.

Maybe we'll get to Moscow and get the news that the Ottoman Empire has collapsed. It will be like India, divided into many small countries. And in the future, it will never be possible to pinch it into a whole. ”

"The Ottoman Empire is also a big empire in the Middle East, can it be easily taken down by Li Xiao?" Zilharang couldn't believe that an empire of that size could collapse in just a few months.

Even if Li Xiao had superb command and excellent strategic vision, he would not be so fast.

"Perhaps by now, Li Xiao is already in Constantinople to receive Suleiman II's worship. The bigger the empire, the greater the weakness.

It's like India, Turkey and other countries. The greatest weakness is the combination of ethnic divisions and sectarian hatred. With these two things, the state will never be able to form a whole.

The last straw that crushed India was the betrayal of Zhangxi, and it was the Kurds, Arabs, Persians, Romanians, Slavs, Hungarians, and Yezidiss who crushed the Ottoman Empire.

So many nations have been artificially kneaded together by force, and it is a matter of an instant to want to become a plate of loose sand. In this world, it is difficult to find a single nation state like the Ming Dynasty.

The Han people account for the vast majority, and the other ethnic minorities cannot rise up no matter how much they make waves. After all, their numbers are too small. ”

Dorgon had foretold everything in a forward-looking way, but he was wrong.

At this time, Suleiman II did not prostrate at the feet of Li Xiao, but stood inside the tall tower. He looked sadly at his subjects who were dying of starvation, and he tried to save them, but could not do anything.

A feeling of powerlessness crept all over my body, and I was hungry. As a sultan, you have to lead by example, and you can only eat one piece of bread a day. Although everyone knows that this is just a few more days, what can be done?

"Your Majesty! There was only enough food in the city for another seven days, and after seven days there was really nothing to eat. What Ahmed didn't say was that after seven days it would be cannibalism.

"Ahmed! We can't help it, open the gates and let everyone escape. ”

Ahmed's face was full of bitterness, and he opened the city gates? The city gate has long been an ornament, and the megalithic wall has more than a dozen huge openings. Even if the gates are not opened, people will be able to run through the gaps.

Even many defenders ran out of the gap.

The question is...... What can you do if you run out, you will be killed by the mines of the Ming army, and then you will be killed by machine guns, and the rest will finally rush to the front of the two armies. As a result, they were shot one by one by the rifles of the Ming army.

Sometimes the Ming army would unleash barbaric Slavs, armed with axes in their hands, and slaughter the unarmed citizens of Constantinople.

Blood soaked every inch of dirt outside the city, and standing on the walls and looking down, there were scattered skeletons everywhere. Countless small creatures, sorting and foraging. Not even the fleeing people can frighten them.

In broad daylight, they recklessly devoured the corpses of the deceased.

In fact, there has been a phenomenon of cannibalism in the city, and eating it is just a lump of meat in the neighbor's pot. As cruel as you are to my children, I will be cruel to your children. Equivalent exchange only!

In the beginning, the officers and soldiers guarding the walls would extort money from those who had fled.

Not anymore, because money doesn't have any effect anymore. Even if you carry a bag of gold, you can't get a piece of bread. Money is useless in the face of hunger.

Sure enough, when the city gates were opened, there were very few people out of the city. Many people were too hungry to have any strength, and some people were because they saw the dry bones outside the city. They were so desperate that they had no way out of the city.

Fewer and fewer people came out of the city gates, and a dead black cloud hung over Constantinople. At night, there were few lights in sight throughout Constantinople.

From the brilliant lights to the current glow of fireflies, Suleiman II couldn't cry. He couldn't understand why things had gone so bad almost overnight.

It's too fast, it's all coming too fast. It's a little unresponsive, it's clear that half a year ago the Ottoman Empire was still a powerful empire. But now, Suleiman II felt as if he had a dream.

But this is a cruel reality, not an illusory dream.

Now before Suleiman II was the question of how two million people in Constantinople would survive.

"Ahmet, I think there's only one way we can do it." Suleiman II sat weakly on the throne, which had once been the ruler of the Ottoman Empire, but now it was a bit hot.

"Your Majesty! No matter how you give the order, I will follow you. I think all the Turks will follow you as well. "The old Ahmed is thinner and older.

"Tomorrow, send out all the food. Let everyone have a full meal, and all the people in the city will assemble at the gate at noon tomorrow. ”

"Your Majesty! You mean ......! ”

"Everyone is out of the city, let them kill if they want to. Someone will survive after all, and as long as someone can survive, there is hope for the Turkic people.

I think that when the Tang people expelled us and were forced to march west, we didn't also recover. Let future generations remember our blood feud, and after a few hundred years, we will recover, and future generations must make the Ming pay a more tragic price. ”

Suleiman II, came up with a solution that was not a solution.

No matter how cold-blooded the Ming army was, they would face two million people. It would take extremely tenacious nerves to kill all two million people. Suleiman II was gambling, he bet that the Ming people did not have such courage and killed two million people at once.

"Your Majesty the Sultan!" Ahmed cried, he knew what it meant.

Suleiman II is gambling on the fortunes of the country, he is betting on the humanity of the Ming people.

If the Ming people had no humanity, then the fall of the Turks was at hand.

"Alright! Since Your Majesty the Sultan has decided, the old man will come to be the one who will be reviled by future generations. There will always be people who don't want to leave the city, they would rather stay and die.

The old man became an executioner and killed them all. And those who were unwilling to move forward, all of them were killed. As long as there is enough deterrence, those people will move forward in accordance with the will of His Majesty the Sultan. Until he was killed by the Ming army, or walked through the Ming army's position alive. ”

"The survival of the Turks is tomorrow, Ahmed, and I will be at the forefront. It's all up to you! Suleiman II stood up and bowed deeply to Ahmet.
