Today, William is well aware of his development approach and development strategy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He has taken the entire territory west of the Urals. And in the Cuman-Kipchak steppes, control was also strengthened by constant foxes, tenderness, the establishment of military stations, and the formation of Cossacks.

In the south, the Dark Elves are not to be humiliated, and in the West, the Brithon-dominated imperial system is in full swing. In the north, vast swaths of permafrost have been placed under the jurisdiction of the Empire, but are useless. William now formed several expeditions, none of which were able to reach the North Pole. That is, South, West, North. In all three directions, the empire could not expand, or could not expand for the time being.

In this case, in addition to reorganizing itself, the empire also has to open up the East.

Uzbek Khanate. These khanates, consisting of a range of nomadic peoples, including Tatars, Kalmyks, Uzbeks, Kyrgyz and Turkmens, were located in the southeastern direction of the Cumen-Kipchak steppe.

To the north, there is the Ural Mountains, as well as the Great Siberian Wilderness, with large areas of permafrost and large primeval forests, and a polar climate. This kind of place, even nomads don't like it at all, and they don't need to care about it. To the northwest, there is the Cuman-Kipchak steppe. The climate of this steppe is no different from that of the Uzbeks. It is also very hard, living by water and grass. Even if it's down, it's not interesting.

Therefore, the Shaybani Khan of the Uzbek Khanate, who wanted to expand his territory, was in the south, in the southwest, and in the southeast. To be more precise, it was the Zoroastrian Empire, a powerful cavalry empire that embraced traditional dualism.

It combines the system of nomads, as well as the technology, culture and economy of the classical imperial era. At the same time, it has an excellent irrigation environment of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya Daryas, as well as the Caspian Sea. It has large tracts of fertile farmland, cotton fields and dates.

Handicrafts, commerce, agriculture are all coveted by Uzbeks. Shaybani Khan's ultimate goal was to completely conquer the Zoroastrian Empire. Take the entire central region of the Old World under control.

"So, the next opponent is such a guy......" William sorted out the information about the East. It's a little unexciting.

Although it was also a khanate, the power of the Uzbek Khanate was much worse than that of the Tartarya Khanate. There were no frontal assaults, and near-invincible centaurs in hand-to-hand combat, nor the fertile and rich commerce, agriculture, and crafts of the Tronica region.

Although it claims to have 400,000 iron horsemen. But if you get rid of the water, the troops that can actually fight are in their early 100,000s. And the real elite is probably only as much as twenty or thirty thousand.

Even more tragic is the fact that the army of the ambitious Shaybani Khan was almost entirely in the Middle Ages. The vast majority of the army consisted of traditional nomadic cavalry armed with bows and scimitars. And those so-called elite troops are just one more scale armor than traditional troops. The most elite, the so-called Khan's Cowardly Xue Army, had a thousand-strong team of men and horses equipped with a full set of heavy scale armor.

If it had been placed five hundred years ago, such an army would definitely have shocked the whole world...... The problem is that now, a large-caliber flintlock pistol, with a hook of two thumbs, can kill this pathetic super-heavy cavalry.

Therefore, they were completely inferior to the Tartariya Khanate, at least the centaur khan also tried to use the Slavites under his command to form a phalanx army of 20,000 muskets and super long spears. But the infantry under Shaybani Khan had only shields, scimitars, and bows and arrows. In addition, there are very few old-fashioned arquebuses, which he purchased from various sources through various channels.

That's it, if it weren't for his main opponent, the Zoroastrian Empire, which was as scum as he was, then William would have nothing to say except to sigh that these guys are so daring.

Of course, having said that, in reality, the Zoroastrian Empire was somewhat stronger than the Uzbek Khanate. The army that these guys have, more or less modernized. There are also tens of thousands of "new armies" equipped with arquebuses, extra-long guns, and old artillery.

The main reason why the country is now so declining is that it is under attack from three sides.

Compared with the army of dark elves in the west, and the Mughal Empire in the southeast, which occupies most of the territory of the Indian subcontinent, the Uzbek nomads in the north are actually not a big problem.

Enemies on three sides left the Zoroastrian Empire exhausted. The elite cavalry, the new army and the artillery units under his command were constantly being attritioned in the continuous war.

Especially after the last year, when the Ottomans moved north to Tronika and fought against the Hereford army in Ruthenia and suffered heavy losses, these shrewd, cunning and insidious dark elves immediately realized that it would be very difficult to expand their lands from the west and north.

In this way, in order to make up for the previous setbacks, and also to increase her prestige, Nu Sudan Fatima quickly dispatched elite soldiers and strong generals to attack in two directions.

One of the troops followed the Nile and launched an attack on the vast Ethiopian Empire south of Nicoleia. These ignorant and backward fellows, who claim to be descendants of Solomon, are the only two more civilized areas in the Green Continent - the other is the western coast of the Green Continent, where the two black countries of Mali and Songhai are barely civilized - of course, their combat effectiveness is also very weak, and even the Berbers, who send a cavalry of 10,000 men south, can easily beat them up, or even exterminate them.

Of course, because that area was too far away from the core area ruled by the Ottoman Empire, although there was a lot of oil and water there, the Ottomans could not eat it.

As the Ottoman Empire suffered a setback against the Russian-Gothic Empire, the Berbers on the northern coast of the Azure Sea became more and more obedient to Istanbul's orders. In this case, the Ottomans' control over the azure seas was not strengthened by their victory in the sea battle, but rather weakened.

The out-of-control Berbers, the unwilling Ottoman dark elves, the Lombards with heavy losses, the annihilated Knights of Malta.

After this series of events, the Azure Sea is now in the most chaotic situation. It is possible for anyone to win, and for anyone to come out on top. Of course, it is possible for any one person to fail completely. In this case, the Ottoman Empire did not put their main efforts here.

The chaotic Ethiopian Empire was a very good target to conquer. Anchoring in the Red Sea, assembling a navy, and a camel-mounted army along the Nile could easily crush this ancient, still medieval nation.

Therefore, for the investment in this aspect, the dark elves did not invest in the main force, but only invested in some partial divisions and secondary troops.

The direction in which they really used their troops was still the Zoroastrian Empire, which had been entangled with them for hundreds of years.

This time, the dark elves of the Ottomans are preparing to ********, and their goal is not only to garrison, but also to occupy the entire rich Mesopotamia, the valley of the two rivers, and they will annex the entire Zoroastrian Empire. Even swallow the Uzbek Khanate together. In the East, they greatly strengthened their power, and completely brought the entire desert peninsula under their rule.

In this way, the Ottoman Empire was not only able to greatly increase its power, but also to draw in Zoroastrians and a large number of steppe peoples to balance the power of the Turks, Berbers and Levantines in the country. Make the population ratio in the empire more stable.

In this case, face the powerful, menacing Ottoman army, as well as the eager Uzbek nomadic army that arrived from the south. And I heard about their predicament. The Mughal Empire, which was preparing to attack and annex Afghanistan and Baluchistan, faced the Zoroastrians on three sides, and suddenly entered the brink of extinction.

It was in this situation that an ocean-going fleet of sailing ships entered the Arabian Sea and docked at Aladan. It was also the first time that the Russian-Gothic Empire had gone beyond the seas of the human world to other regions of the Old World for political and diplomatic and economic visits.

............

"What a beautiful port. The visiting emissary, Franz von Wiesenburg Jr., said to his deputies with a smile.

Spacious and tidy streets, marinas, and palm trees everywhere by the sea, as well as clean-groomed streets, commercial areas with huge domes, towers and lighthouses...... Everything looks pretty good. It is a good testament to the management of the Zoroastrian Empire, as well as the ingenuity of the Zoroastrians.

In the port area, the Arabian dhows can be seen everywhere in the dock area, as well as a large number of round-bellied Frut-type merchant ships, Frisian and Galen-type sailing ships, which also testify to the prosperity and openness of the port city here.

After paying a modest port entry fee, the Imperial ships entered the harbor and were guided by the harbor sailors to find berths. After this, Franz Jr. revealed his identity and met the governor who ran the city as soon as possible.

Everything went smoothly, and it seemed to him that it was a very simple matter to sign a trade agreement, and to obtain an authorization, or even to monopolize the trade privileges here.

I thought that my fleet could get off to a good start. Thinking that he would soon be able to return home with the wealth of a foreign country and the merits of his achievements, and from then on, this diplomat from a small aristocracy was a little excited.
