Chapter 22 The Prince Returns to the Country (10)
The kings of the Khanate of Chincha were all Sala City. Sala City was located at the mouth of the Volga River into the Caspian Sea. It has abundant water sources and a large number of fishery products. The cavalry of the Khanate of Chincha could easily go south to plunder the direct territory of the Mongolian Khanate.
At this time, the city of Salai was holding a banquet, and the table was filled with supplies snatched from the border. After the food was processed, it was steaming and fragrant. In Mongolia, as long as the leader of the larger tribe had something to do with the Borjijin family, he could be called a prince. These princes, big and small, gathered together to talk about the previous looting of the Yuan border area.
"Those Yuan people are as stupid as the sheep in Yuan." A prince expressed his experience of looting with a wine glass, "I ate a lot at home, but there is nothing valuable. Although the iron pot is good, it is too heavy, and I can't take a few."
The distilled grain wine from the Yuan Dynasty made these Mongolian princes a little drunk. Another prince who looked at the a little drunk said loudly, "That's because we've been on hold for too short. If we can grab it for three days according to the rules, we will definitely finish it."
"Yes, we are all robbing the border. If we can take down the city, there must be valuable things inside."
...
The Khan of the Khanate of the Qincha Khanate looked at the princes' high spirits and smiled. The Khan was very angry when he learned that a prince had secretly led his troops to rob. Now the princes had determined to attack the Yuan Kingdom, which made the Khan of the Qincha Khanate very satisfied. However, the Khan himself was quite surprised. He did not expect that the Yuan Kingdom was really as rich as the legendary ones. Just stealing the border areas would make the princes so excited. After capturing the capital of the Yuan Kingdom, how many gold, silver and treasures should be snatched from it.
After the banquet, King Khan returned to his tent and told Ross that the Grand Duke of Moscow came in. Ross was a man with fair skin, brown and yellow fur, and yellow and blue eyes. The appearance gap was actually quite big. The only similarity between these Ross people with different appearances was that they were very awe of the Mongolians.
In 1236 of the Western calendar, the second son of Shuchi, commander Badu, commander of the "Early Son Army" to the west. By 1240, he conquered the Qincha grasslands, Krim, the Caucasus (to Taerban), Bulgar (Bulgaria), Volga and Oka River areas, and the Rus Principles in the Dnieper River basin.
The vast area conquered was Ulus, who became Badu, was called the "Chincha Khanate" since 1242. The boundaries of the Khanate roughly include: from the west of the Erthis River in the east to the Dnieper River in the west, from the Balkash Lake, the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea in the south, including the northern Caucasus, the northern Khwarezm and the lower reaches of the Sir River, and to the north near the Arctic Circle.
Badu took the Volga region as the political center and established the capital city of Salay at the entrance (named Astrakhan in the 21st century, but it moved from the north bank of the Volga River to the south bank). The conquered Duchy of Ross and the Chincha Khanate were vassal relations. All heirs of the Duchy of Ross must go to the capital of the Khanate before ascending the throne to accept the canonization. Any Duchy of Ross who were disrespectful to King Chincha Khan will be taught a cruel lesson.
After saluting respectfully, the messenger Ross knelt on the ground and told his mission, "Great Khan, we have contacted the pagans in the west, and they decided to use military force against the Yuan Kingdom this summer. In the Teutonic Khan Kingdom, as long as Poland, other regions will be handed over to the noble Khan."
The Khan of the Khanate did not speak immediately. The Teutonic Khanate Kingdom was thousands or even thousands of miles away from Sara City, so he was too lazy to deal with it. However, this time it involved the possibility of moving the capital. After conquering the Yuan Dynasty, the Khanate Kingdom considered moving the royal city to the wealthy Kiv. At that time, there was such a Teutonic Khanate Kingdom next to him, which might not be a good thing.
After thinking for a while, the Khan of the Khanate made a decision to deal with the Yuan Kingdom first. If the countries of the Teutonic Knights and other Seme people dared to have any abnormal movements at that time, the Khanate could launch a Western Expedition like Badu Khan back then. The Mongols' land was never obtained through negotiation, but conquered with horse hooves.
Looking down at the messenger of Ross kneeling on the ground, the Khan asked majesticly: "Are you ready to send troops?"
"Report to the noble Khan, our country of Ross is ready to go to war." The messenger replied respectfully.
"You go back and tell the Grand Duke of Moscow that when the Teutonic Knights and Yuan Kingdom go to war in the summer, we will send troops."
The envoy of the Grand Duke of Moscow in the Rakshasa Kingdom left, and the Khan continued to think about the current situation with a gloomy expression. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he could not do nothing. The Semu people were not necessarily reliable, and the words of those princes could not be believed. Although these people were very satisfied with the result of this looting, none of the princes actually robbed a city. They just made small moves on the border and brought the stolen things back. As for the known information, the population of the Yuan Dynasty has increased rapidly in recent years, and their strength cannot be underestimated. How can we minimize the strength of the Yuan Dynasty? Small fights and quarrels on the border are definitely not enough.
The next day, many princes came to the court of the Khan of the Khanate. The prince's identity was only aimed at herdsmen, herd slaves, and exorcises. The princes were also divided into different levels. Ba who truly established the Khanate had 13 brothers. These brothers and their descendants each had hereditary fiefs and armies, forming a semi-independent country affiliated with Badu and its descendants. Those who were summoned to attend the meeting were all top-class princes with real strength. King Khan of the Khanate said to them: "You prepare for troops now, don't provoke the Yuan Kingdom again."
These top princes are in high positions, so they are naturally not as unaware as those lower princes. Last night, when the lower princes were bragging, these people were very dissatisfied. A descendant of Badu asked, "Khan, if they conquer the Yuan Kingdom, how should the Yuan Kingdom be divided?"
After hearing such a naked question, the top princes stared at King Qincha Khan with bright eyes. Those lower princes dared not ask this. They only dared to be content with the benefits they got after looting. The top princes also suffered serious losses due to the loss of shepherd slaves and population, but these people did not even like the little meat and honey. Occupying the Yuan Kingdom with honey and milk is the benefit of generations, and it is not comparable to looting once or twice.
King Qincha secretly cursed these evil wolves who eat people and don’t spit bones. As the leader of the evil wolf, he was very dissatisfied with this. However, King Qincha Khan was not angry. He could not attack the Yuan Kingdom alone. He had to form a group of evil wolves to defeat and annex the powerful Yuan Kingdom. King Qincha Khan had a long time ago, and he replied: "Once I annex the Yuan Kingdom, I will move the capital to Kiev Russ. Now these territories will be distributed to those who have made contributions."
Many of the top princes nodded slightly, and they could accept this price. Perhaps in the eyes of the Yuan people, the Khanate of the Khanate was a poor place, but poverty was relatively important. In the Khanate country, the Khan occupied the Volga River Basin, where the land was fertile, and more than half of the residents made a living by farming. Compared with nomadic areas, the Khanate of the Khanate was much better.
"Some of my subordinates want to rob the Yuan Kingdom again. Should I scold them?" A top prince asked a question.
King Khan frowned and was about to agree. However, before speaking, his brows slowly stretched out. After a while of thinking, he said, "I have an idea. If there are people who don't know how to die, why not let them go."
The top princes showed surprised expressions, and they couldn't understand what the Khan Qincha had in mind.
More than ten days later, it was already the end of April of the Western calendar. The Yuan cavalry on the border between the Yuan and the Qincha Khanate received a report from the alert website, and some Mongolian bandits moved to the Yuan border again. The Yuan cavalry troops on the front of the bandits did not fight, but chose to retreat. They did not do this because they were afraid, but were preparing to catch turtles in the jar and completely resolve the invading bandits.
The battle itself was not good, and with the intention of making a mistake, and with the communication of field wired telegraphs, the bandits were all beaten up in one fell swoop. The Yuan cavalry was counting the results and interrogating the prisoners, but they were furious. The bandits learned from the last lessons and this time they brought a convoy of Mongolian Lele.
In the plan explained by the bandits, since the sheep in Yuan Dynasty is so stupid, it depends on luck to take more and less. This time, like last time, we should lead the guards first, and the cavalry rushed to the small farm, shouting loudly, forcing the opponent to retreat into the fort to defend. The Lele convoy followed behind drove into the farm house and swept door to door and high-speed, and all the food, pots and pans were emptied. Those smart dogs could catch them and tie them up and took them away.
When retreating, the Lele convoy will return in dispersed ways. If you encounter pursuers, you will abandon the car and run away. As long as you divide it enough, you will not be recovered. The cavalry gathers and hangs the Yuan cavalry, and the Yuan army will definitely give priority to following the enemy rather than recovering the goods first.
After the captured bandits explained, they said with a sad face: "We didn't expect the cavalry to come so quickly, otherwise we would have run away long ago."
The Yuan army was a government soldier. With the current economic structure of the Yuan country, everyone can be considered a wealthy family. Most of the government soldiers came from ordinary families. After hearing the plans formulated by these bandits, the government soldiers were all furious. If the bandits' plan was successful, a family like the majority of government soldiers would really cause a disaster and would lose all their money.
When they learned that the bandits had a team of bandits following, the soldiers from the officers to the soldiers were furious, and all the strategies to lure the enemy into depth were left out. Since there was such a definite confession, why are you waiting for? The soldiers of the soldiers took the initiative to attack and intercepted the subsequent Mongolian bandits on the way. After all, the Mongolian bandits were a nation on horseback. After all, the troops ran away when they saw the incident. The soldiers of the Yuan Kingdom were not willing to let go, and they chased them all the way.
When Hao Ren learned the news, the two cavalry divisions had already penetrated the enemy's territory in full swing, he could only order the troops to retreat. However, there was a telegram network in the Yuan Dynasty, so it was very easy to mobilize the troops. Once the troops were dispersed in the field, they could not be retracted so easily. This made Hao Ren very dissatisfied.
At this time, the return prince Hao Kang was preparing to lead his team to the western part of the Yuan Dynasty. The most needed war with the Semu people was logistics. The Badu Khan of the Qincha Khanate led the "Early Son Army" to the west. Although he killed a lot of people, he did not get any benefits because of the long journey and the strong enemy. This time, the Yuan army's western expedition was to destroy the country. The army could not rely solely on the Polish region to eat the enemy.
At this time, all the experts from the Song Dynasty in the Ministry of Water Resources were withdrawn, and the Ministry of Water Resources was equivalent to reconstruction. Hao Ren could only visit one department by one, first connect the relationship, and then talk about the matter of coordination with each department. At the Ministry of Agriculture, before talking about a few words of work, the Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture asked Hao Kang if he knew that the border was invaded by Mongolian bandits.
This is not the first person to ask this question, Hao Kang sighed helplessly. When the upper class of the Yuan Dynasty mentioned the Mongolians and called them Mongolian bandits, as if we were not Mongolians. He sighed in his heart, Hao Kang still answered honestly, he heard it.
"Will the king not punish these bandits severely? The bandits are all greedy. Once they succeed, they will never end. If you want to deal with the bandits, it is best to beat them all to death. Even if they can't beat them to death, they have to let them know that they will die when they come. This will allow everyone to live a quiet life." The Minister of Agriculture finished this in a very fluent tone. It can be seen that it was not the first time he had expressed such a point of view.
Hao Kang also agreed to kill the bandits away first, but this insight was completed in the Song Dynasty. In recent years, not only did the Song Dynasty have a powerful army loyal to the Zhao official family fight abroad, but also mobilized propaganda forces in the Song Dynasty, criticizing surrenderism and compromise, and criticizing it.
It is not enough to criticize people by criticizing people. The Song Dynasty took out various history and talked about it. Hao Kang was very disgusted with the murderous narrative, but he unconsciously accepted a lot. He must not be weak against powerful enemies, and naturally he cannot forgive bandits.
After echoing a few words from the Minister of Agriculture, Hao Kang found that the Minister of Agriculture immediately "supported high hopes" to Hao Kang. The Minister of Agriculture said sincerely: "Crown Prince, now the ministers in the court cannot persuade the king. The only one who can speak is the crown prince. I hope the crown prince can persuade the king to protect the peace of the people."
Hao Kang initially just agreed perfunctorily. But he left several departments, and all the ministers had the same attitude. More and more evidence proved that the Khan of the Khanate was instructing the Mongolian bandits of the Khanate to loot the Yuan Dynasty, hoping that Hao Kang could persuade Hao Ren and attack the Khanate.
Hao Kang was also moved by the high hopes of more and more people. When he returned home and saw his father, Hao Kang mustered up the courage to speak to his father. Now the Yuan Kingdom needs to teach the Qincha Khanate a lesson, because the Yuan Kingdom still has sufficient strength. When the Yuan Kingdom and the Semu people go to war, then the Yuan Kingdom can still have enough troops to defend such a long border line.
When his son was telling, Hao Ren was already as deep as water. When his son finished speaking, Hao Ren did not answer. He said coldly: "Now the water conservancy expert in the State of Song has left, fighting with Semu people, and relies very much on water routes. You will leave Beijing tomorrow and go to the west to supervise the river transportation management. Go!"
After saying this, Hao Ren stood up and left. He left the stunned Hao Kang behind.
Chapter completed!
