Chapter 346: The Soul of the Burning Emperor

Zhu Di's request......

Of course, it was quickly satisfied.

Tokhtamysh is not a very disciplined person.

He can even vote for Lithuania, let alone the Ming Dynasty, after seeing the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, he has no psychological burden on kneeling in front of Zhu Di.

The point, of course, is that he's really basically lost now.

He is not qualified to bargain at all, he is really a lost dog now.

Earlier, he and Vytautas joined forces to attack Belgosare, who not only led the Lithuanian army, but also the Polish and even Teutonic Knights, and finally fought a decisive battle with the combined forces of Huglut and Yedicai on a tributary of the Dnieper, but the result was a crushing defeat. Vytautas suffered heavy losses, almost sparing himself, Tokhtamysh also lost most of his subordinates, and Vytautas lost so badly that he completely broke off the idea of continuing to interfere in the Golden Horde's civil war.

Tokhtamysh, who had completely lost his supporters, had no choice but to flee east.

He is the White Horde.

Theoretically, the fiefdom of the White Horde was Siberia and part of Kazakhstan.

The original, of course.

The Golden Horde is also the Jochi Ulus, but it was actually established by Jochi's son Batu, but Jochi is not just Batu's son, in fact, he has more than a dozen sons.

The eldest son, Hu'er, replied that it was a white tent.

The younger son used to be a green horde or a blue horde.

As for the rest of the chaotic sons, they also have their own fiefdoms, but theoretically they are all subject to the Golden Horde, who is the heir of the Jochi Ulus, but the position of the Golden Horde is not exclusive to Batu......

In fact, Batu's heir's son, Sari Tahe, who didn't know whether it was a son or a grandson, all died in vain, and the real inheritance was his younger brother Be'erge, of course, the rumors of the previous two deaths were indeed done by Be'erge.

The Golden Family!

If you don't kill each other, it's still called the Golden Family?

It's traditional, the authentic Golden Family tradition, and it's a matter of faith, and Saarita is Christian.

After that, the Golden Horde returned to the hands of Batu's son, the Vulhan line.

In this way, until 1360, Berdibe, who was of the Batu line, killed his father and seized the throne, and was killed by his younger brother Kurina, who was killed by another younger brother, Naurus, and the White Horde of the Erda line, Qidier, led his troops to Shangluo to rebel and killed Naurus, and used the White Horde to seize the throne of the Golden Horde, but was soon killed by his own son. After that, the Golden Horde kept changing, and the term of office was one year long, which was more chaotic than the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, but the powerful minister Mamai held the power, so the Great Khan changed it casually, and the power was still his.

In fact, it's basically his Great Khan.

As for Tokhtamysh and Urus Khan, they were actually descendants of Timur the Bald Thirteen, the thirteen sons of Jochi.

The entire Golden Horde was beaten into a pot of porridge, the Batu system, and the Erda system were almost dead, and the descendants of the other lines of Jochi of course had to act quickly, and the Bald Timur descendant Ulus, who originally had a territory on the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea, called himself White Horde, but he was supposed to be a grandfather's brother, and his father who was also Tokhtamysh opposed, and then he was killed. After that, Urus seized the throne of the Golden Horde with the White Horde, and the two Platinum Hordes were merged again, but his control area was still dominated by the east, and the west was still in the hands of Mamai, and this Golden Horde still had to listen to Mamai, but theoretically the two Platinum Hordes were merged.

But he was defeated and killed by Timur's support for Tokhtamysh, and Tokhtamysh was so angry that he killed Mamai, and the platinum and gold accounts were truly merged.

Then Timur quit.

After all, such a Golden Horde was a threat to him.

In the end, Tokhtamysh and Timur turned against him.

Then Timur supported Hughroot and Yedecai.

The former was the grandson of Urus Khan.

The latter was the lord of the Nogai steppe, but not from the Golden Family, but from a dependent tribe in the Crimea, he was the ancestor of the Yusupov family, the wealthy family of Tsarist Russia, who was later killed by their family.

"So, the current Golden Horde, this person has the final say?"

Zhu Di asked.

"Yes, that's him.

I had received news that Khuglut had died because he had drunk too much, and that he should have made Khugroot's son the new Golden Horde, and that he had the support of Timur behind him, and that he actually had the final say in the Golden Horde.

The Khan's march to Belgosare had to pass through his territory. ”

Tokhtamysh hurriedly spoke in Mongolian.

At this time, he has officially returned to the Ming Dynasty, and King Yan temporarily serves as the highest official of the Ming Dynasty in the Western Regions, and also has the identity of the Taixi Economic Envoy, temporarily recognizing his identity as the Golden Horde, after all, the identity of the Great Khan is not a big deal in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the Ming Dynasty allows Ghost Lichi and others to be called Khan, so there is now a bunch of Khan on the grassland. This belongs to their internal honorific title, without any symbol of power, and the original symbol of the identity of the Mongolian Great Khan, these people also have, one Khan, one is considered the honor guard given by the Ming Emperor, as for the official position in the imperial court, this is another matter.

So he is now equivalent to a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and then he encountered an internal rebellion, which he couldn't solve by himself.

But of course, the emperor will do justice for him.

Help him put down the rebellion.

Let him return to Beergosalai and continue to submit to the Ming as the Golden Horde.

However, the territory of the White Horde has long been drawn on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so he needs to dedicate the Ural Mountains and the Ural River, including all the land east of the Caspian Sea, to the Ming Dynasty as the Golden Horde, after all, there is an Eastern European Plain who likes Siberia, as for the east of the Caspian Sea, it has long been robbed by Timur.

It's not his.

It's just a matter of generosity to others.

There is also a part of the Nogai steppe that is actually the Nogai steppe, but that is also the territory of the Dieta.

The Ming crusade is also deserved......

That's what he's always dreamed of!

"No, did you flee to the East through his territory?"

Zhu Di said.

Then he looked at Tokhtamysh very deeply.

"Well, King Khan, there is actually a road west from here through the mountains, but it will soon snow this season, and it will not be possible to march at that time, so it will be warmer to go south."

Tokhtamysh said.

He wanted to hide it!

"That's all?"

Zhu Di said.

Suddenly, there was a short gun in his hand, and it was pressed directly against Tokhtamysh's head.

"I can help you, but you have to be honest."

He said.

Tokhtamysh took a deep breath.

"King Khan, it's not impossible to take this road, and then go west through the mountains, which is the city of Kazan, where the Bulgars are located, but they are also loyal to me, but it is also true that the season I said is not right, and it will soon be frozen, and it is almost cold here."

He said.

"Now we are going west, can we get to Kazan before winter comes?"

Zhu Di said.

"It won't take that long, run with cavalry, a month and a half at most."

Tokhtamysh said with suppressed excitement.

Apparently he also realized that they could complete a super long-distance run.

"So how long will it take to get from Kazan to Belgosary?"

Zhu Di said.

"A month, more than twenty days, but we need to immediately storm Belgosala, which is much warmer than Kazan, but still very cold in winter, much colder than in the river, quickly break through Belgosala, and then occupy it and wait for spring with the food and livestock in the city. I can muster 20,000 cavalry, the Bolgars in Kazan will follow me, plus the Khan's, we can have them, and if 50,000 cavalry hold on to Belgosala, they will not be able to break through no matter what. And the other ministries may not be willing to fight hard for Yedi, after all, he is a foreign surname, not even the Golden Family, once he loses Be'er Gosale, even those who surrender will rebel.

But you have to be careful with Timur. ”

Tokhtamysh said.

"Timur?"

Zhu Di smiled.

Then he looked at Muri.

"Tell him what we did to Timur before we went north."

He said.

The latter immediately smiled and told Tokhtamysh about the previous conflict between Timur and Zhu Di, and how Timur had compromised himself, and would rather let his subordinates chill and whip Deyrchak than provoke Zhu Di.

"King Khan, then there is one thing left, can you quickly break through Belgosala?"

Tokhtamysh said.

"What kind of city is that, and how high are the walls?"

Zhu Di asked.

"There are no city walls, Belgosalai is built in a swamp, only the palace is a castle, the scale is very large, but it was slaughtered and burned by Timur before, and now the population is not much, but most of the houses are there, they are rammed earth, and the defense is the surrounding swamp water network, and there are also dense houses in the city."

Tokhtamysh said.

"So it's all frozen into ice in winter, right?"

Zhu Di said.

"Yes, all the swamp water networks are frozen in winter, not to mention the cavalry, even the loaded carriages can pass, and I am their Great Khan, as long as I defeat Yedecai and break his palace, I can make the people in the city give up resistance."

Tokhtamysh said excitedly.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go, let's go to Beergosare."

Zhu Di said with the same ambition as Paulus hundreds of years later.

Well, the city has a new name after a few hundred years.

Stalingrad.

To be precise, in the southeast of Stalingrad.

It's just that it's very close, and it's a far suburb of the city.

And Yang Feng knew the news when it was already late autumn, but not in the capital, but in Beiping, he was in the north during this time to preside over the river opening project as the reason for the inspection, especially for the opening of the river supporting the industrial construction and the promotion of new crops in various places, although corn and the like are not good, but sweet potatoes are completely okay, potatoes can also be engaged in some pilot projects in the north.

So next year, the first batch of sweet potatoes raised in Hebei with seedbeds can be planted, and it will be after the winter wheat harvest.

It's two crops a year.

", this courage is worthy of being called the Great Emperor, four thousand miles of running, he didn't think about whether his soldiers could bear it?"

In the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping, Ambassador Yang exclaimed.

He was able to know the news so quickly, mainly because Zhu Di did not use the post road in the Western Regions, he established a series of post stations along the Irtysh River in the process of going north, and the post road connecting to Hanhai in Semiy, and there was also a post road from Hanhai to Shuofang, so he asked for a seal for Tokhtamysh and told Yang Feng that his westward raid on Be'er Gesalai was directly sent to Beiping by Shuofang, anyway, there is no difference between giving Ambassador Yang and giving it to the imperial court, and it is more simple to give Ambassador Yang.

"There should be no problem, according to his trajectory over the years, it is obvious that this person and his subordinates are no different from the nomadic cavalry, and besides, the vast majority of his subordinates are originally nomadic cavalry, it is estimated that he is now on the top of the pioneering spirit. And his actions seem to be risky, but in fact they are not, with the cooperation of Tokhtamysh, at least he will not encounter any fighting between Tyumen and Kazan, and even have the support of the Kazan region. There are mainly Bashkirs, Moldovans, Malians, etc., who are mainly agricultural, and no one will defend the Golden Horde, if possible, they prefer to follow those who can attack the Golden Horde.

Zhu Di's best thing should be to appease these people.

And Kazan was a transit point for trade from Siberia to Northern Europe, and the people there were not so ignorant of the East.

And then there's Tokhtarysh.

Originally, many years after the history, Ye Di should have only fought until Tyumen killed him, which means that Ye Di had never been able to solve him before this.

He still has a lot of supporters, otherwise he wouldn't have lasted that long.

At this time, the Golden Horde was already on the verge of falling apart, and Di should rely on Timur to support him, who would really support the chieftains of the Golden Horde, who were not the powerful ministers of the Golden Horde? He may have been gloating when he was beaten. ”

Sister Liu said.

Of course, Yang Feng also sighed about Zhu Di's soul of the Great Emperor, after all, this kind of thing of running four thousand miles is really exaggerated.

But considering that in the original history, his desperate attack on Nanjing was actually nothing, after all, he also ran for 2,000 miles, and the previous expedition to sweep Mobei was actually farther than this, throughout Zhu Di's life, he seemed to like this kind of rushing battle. This kind of person should belong to the kind of people who like this kind of adventure in their bones, like this kind of galloping grassland, running towards unknown goals, and then constantly leaving legends along the way.

The Great Emperor is the Great Emperor!

As for his success or failure, this Yang Feng is not too interested in caring, after all, the territory that Zhu Di lays down to the west is his own, according to the agreement between Zhu Di and the imperial court, the direct subordinate of the Ming court is only Anxi and other four capital divisions, and Kunling is the demarcation of the command of the envoy division, which is to the Ural Mountains, and then to the west, he can fight down is Yanguo's. And the Sandu Division controlled by Timur is also limited to the Caucasus Mountains, that is, the northern boundary of the Persian capital commanding the envoys, so the whole of Europe is casually conquered by Zhu Di, and there is such a vast territory, which is enough to satisfy his pioneering soul.

Although it is true that these places of the Golden Horde are sparsely populated and bitterly cold, they are only these places, and once he reaches Belgosare, he will know that the real good place lies ahead of him, and the vast plains of Ukraine will open before him, and he will open the door to a new world.

"Then good luck to him!"

Yang Feng said casually.
