Chapter 661: Layout of the Wet Land
Xi Bani followed Hua Hou Wei like a student with a strong desire for knowledge, respectfully following his husband, and he didn't care about the dignity of the king of a country, as if Hua Hou Wei was his monarch. The battered Uzbek Khanate could no longer maintain balance with the Safavid Empire, and without the help of the Ming Dynasty, Ismaili would never allow Shaybani's empire to survive. Shaybani thought very clearly, his empire and the Ming were already neighbors, if he couldn't become a loyal lackey of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming would charge at will, or a gesture, and the Uzbek Khanate would be in a desperate situation.
Hua Houwei enjoyed Xi Banni's knowledge very much, and said with a smile: "Xi Banni, I will separately approve the sale of 500 shotguns to Uzbekistan, Makqin, don't think about it, I can't destroy the international balance, that would be very troublesome." You can rest assured, as long as Uzbekistan maintains its current attitude, the Ming Empire will be your strong backing."
Shaybani grinned, "Prince, what about the Soul Chaser? Can you also sell it to Uzbekistan?"
Hua Houwei shook his head: "Shaybani, I'm not selling it for your own good. Think about it, once the soul chaser gun arrives in Uzbekistan, can you guarantee that it will be under control? If someone really wants to usurp your place, all they need is a soul chaser gun. There is a tradition of killing kings in the grassland, I don't need to say this, you naturally understand. The Ming Dynasty is different, firstly, there is a strict system, and secondly, the thinking of the common people and literati is different from that of the grassland people, so it is better not to force it."
Shaybani nodded, "Okay, can you sell the equipment for the production of shotguns to Uzbekistan?"
"Alas, even if I sell it to you, you can't produce it! Do you have qualified workers? Is there a qualified steel? Shaybany, don't force what you can't control, that will hurt you. Well, in this case, I can equip you with a special task force in the form of a mercenary, more than a hundred people, a fire phoenix, a soul chaser, well, and this!" Hua Houwei clapped his hands, and Zhu Shanqing rode over and handed Hua Houwei a short gun.
Hua Houwei took the short gun and said with a smile: "This is a Shenlie-style three-type short assault rifle, with a capacity of 30 rounds, an effective range of 300 meters, and a gun length of 65 centimeters.
Shaybani never dreamed that there was such a weapon in the world! Immediately salivated: "Prince, can you?"
"Nope!" Hua Houwei put away his smile, and wanted to scold Shaybani, but when he saw Shaybani's aggrieved expression, he sighed: "Shaybani, why don't you understand? I can give it to you, can you keep it? What do you think will happen to a naughty boy who has just walked through the streets with gold?"
Shaybani instantly understood what Hua Houwei meant, and shivered: "Yes, it will really kill yourself!" Prince, I will follow your arrangement, and it will be good. Well, don't worry, the honorarium will be the highest!"
Hua Houwei smiled and changed the subject: "Shaybane, the Ming Dynasty occupies the Turan lowlands, which doesn't mean that you can't continue to develop north and west. The Ming Empire will support you!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Shaybani's eyes: "You mean, the Khiva Khanate, the Nogai Khanate, the Kazakh Khanate?"
Hua Houwei nodded: "These places are all anointed land, well, fertile land, I don't want to give it to Ismaili, do you understand?"
The Khanate, the Nogai Khanate, the Kazakh Khanate, the Astrakhan Khanate, the Siberian Khanate, and the Kazan Khanate were the Golden Horde before the split. The Safavid Empire, which balanced the Ismaili, and the Ottoman Empire. Then the Ming can stay out of the matter, control the Middle East with finance and commodities, and at the same time ensure its own interests, drive these powers to suppress Europa, which has soared in history. And Shaybani is the key link, which must be firmly controlled in his hands, and must not be raised for trouble! The powerful guards are the last killer weapon, so Hua Houwei did not hesitate to equip this team with short assault rifles that had just been mass-produced.
Shaybani was silent, and only sighed after a while: "Alas, I thought that the Ming Empire was a brutal tiger, and Uzbekistan could only submit to the force of the Ming Dynasty. Who knows, it was me who was wrong! Zhu, from now on, the Uzbek Khanate is the hound of the Ming Empire, and it will never betray!"
Hua Hou Wei laughed: "Okay! Remember today's promises, Cyban
Nee, let's work together to build a prosperous world!"
When he came to Ryazan, Hua Houwei met with a group of people who came to greet him. Suleiman I came in full costume and respectfully saluted Marquis Wei of Hua: "Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness the Prince of the Ming Empire, Sultan Suleiman of the Ottoman Empire greets you."
Hua Houwei immediately returned the salute: "Haha, the first time I saw His Majesty Suleiman, it was really a wise and decisive generation of heroes!"
Meng Gejire followed up to greet Hua Hou Wei: "Your Royal Highness, Prince of the Ming Empire, Meng Gejire, Khan of the Crimean Khanate, greets you!"
Hua Hou Wei's eyes flashed, Crimea is very famous in the later generations, well, find a way to let these two guys break up. "Hello, Hello, Möngke Jire Khan, your clansmen on the steppe have been integrated with the Ming Empire, and you are welcome to return to your hometown when you have time."
By blood, Möngogiré was indeed Mongol. But after a hundred years, these Mongols living in the Middle East and Europa have become completely Turkic, and it is difficult to call them Mongols anymore.
The group talked and laughed and entered the city of Ryazan. After a period of red tape, Hua Houwei asked Zhu Shanqing to hang up a large map, he pointed to the map and said, "The Ottoman Empire and the Crimean Empire are both members of the United Nations, and the Ming Empire supports you in dismembering the Grand Duchy of Moscow!" Your Majesty Suleiman, is Zygmundt of Poland joining the United Nations?"
Suleiman shook his head, "Zygmunt is still hesitating, I suspect he wants to blackmail some more benefits."
Hua Hou Wei sneered: "Oh? Advantage? I think since the cow doesn't drink water, there is no need to press it. Your Majesty Suleiman, are the Ottomans interested in Lithuania?"
Suleiman's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to answer, "Of course! What does the prince mean?"
Hua Houwei smiled, stood up, walked to the map and picked up the baton: "Ukraine! I think the Ottomans and the Crimea can occupy this black soil and provide us with a lot of high-quality food for the United Nations! Lithuania, it seems that it was originally a small country in the Baltics, let him return to his original colors. Poland, hehe, Poland and Muscovy should continue to be good enemies. What do you think?"
Suleiman stared at the map, his mind racing. The Ottomans and Crimea carved up Ukraine, and the rest of Moscow and Lithuania did not say specifically, that is, there were consultations. It seems that this Prince of Daming wants to see the strength of the Ottomans and Crimea and the degree of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and he must be cautious and not anger the Ming.
The Crimean Khanate was originally weaker, otherwise how could it be an Ottoman vassal state? I didn't expect Prince Daming, who met for the first time, to be so generous and give such a big piece of meat! He immediately thanked Ling: "Thank you for the generosity of the Ming Empire, I must go back to my hometown to see, ah, the river of tribulation in the mouth of my ancestors, I really want to go and see it!"
Suleiman almost scolded angrily, and the river was in trouble? Can you know that the name of the River of Distress was told to you last night? Hum! Want to be close to Da Mingtao? Delusion! This reaction is like that cross talk, why are you the eldest prince? The appearance of Montgogire made him sick!
Hua Houwei also admired Meng Gejilei's shamelessness, and he couldn't resist it: "Hehe, everyone is a brother, you are welcome to go home and have a look." Well, Your Majesty Suleiman, what is the relationship between the Kazan Khanate and the Khiva Khanate, the Nogai Khanate, the Kazakh Khanate?"
Suleiman's heart moved, and he couldn't help but surrender his gaze to Shaybani beside Hua Houwei. Suleiman, the overlord of the river, had heard of it for a long time, and if it weren't for him, Osman would not have been involved in this war, and Selim would not have died unexpectedly. But then again, if you don't suffer the blow of Daming now, and you will be with Daming again in the future, maybe you won't even be able to save the country. A drink and a peck are not predetermined, this is Zhu wants to pay Xi Banni and tie Uzbekistan to the chariot of the Ming Dynasty.
The situation is stronger than people, and Suleiman does not care about the unruly countries, and of course he will not stand up for them: "Although the four countries are all separated from the Golden Horde, have some blood ties, and adopt a unified alliance with the Muscovy, they actually do not have a good relationship with each other. Hehe, these small countries are very difficult, and the people are very strong, and even their own royal courts are not easy to manage."
Hua Houwei glanced at Shaybani, suddenly became serious, and said solemnly, "Shaybani Khan, Daming needs your help. Please send troops
to help these countries fight together against the aggression of Muscovy."
Shaybani was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of emotion welled up in his heart. What a nice person, obviously he needs to expand his territory, but he needs his own help. For the first time, the murderous Shaybani showed this kind of heartfelt gratitude: "Uzbekistan will definitely follow the Ming Empire to fight in all directions, and even if it suffers bad luck because of it, it will never regret it!"
Hua Houwei nodded: "It's serious, thank you Shaybani Khan for your great help!" Well, I would like to give Zygmunt one more chance, Your Majesty Suleiman, and ask you to write him a letter to inform him that the Ming Empire is very concerned about the movements of the Polish-Lithuanian alliance, and that he will carefully consider the many matters concerning his membership in the United Nations!"
Shaybani looked at Hua Houwei in surprise, Hua Houwei smiled slightly, didn't explain, just looked at Suleiman quietly. Suleiman was also surprised why Hua Houwei rebelled, but it was still the same sentence, the situation is stronger than people, and the Ottoman Empire did not dare to disobey the order of the Ming Dynasty: "Okay! Your Royal Highness, Your Friends are willing to serve you!"
