Chengji-Tula, Murtazan Khan had just arranged for the Kazakhs who had defected to him, but before he had rested for a few days, the Ming cavalry led by Han Yi arrived at Chengji-Tula.
On the short city wall of Chengji-Tula, Murtazan Khan trembled as he looked at the dark Ming cavalry outside the city. Under the sunlight, the armor on these cavalry exuded a dazzling light. The Ming dragon flag was at the highest
The red flags were fluttering everywhere.
"The people from Ming Dynasty came so quickly~"
Murtagh Khan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he didn't take it too seriously.
There had never been any grudges between the Siberian Khanate and the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army must have come to pursue the Kazakhs this time. As long as I told them where the Kazakhs were going, I didn't have to worry about the Ming people attacking me.
"Send someone over to ask the Ming people what they mean."
After thinking about it, Murtazhan decided to have a chat with the Ming people first to find out their purpose.
Soon, several envoys were sent out of the city and hurriedly came to Han Yi and Huo Yun's side.
"Go back and tell Murtazan Khan that from today on, the entire vast land east of the Ural Mountains will belong to our Ming Empire, and the emperor of our Ming Dynasty will also become the emperor of all Siberia. All tribes and everyone must submit to
I am loyal to the emperor tomorrow!"
Han Yi took out an edict that had been prepared and handed it to the other party, then coldly sent him back.
"The entire east of the Ural Mountains belongs to the Ming Dynasty?"
"Doesn't it mean to annex our Siberian Khanate?"
"Everyone must be loyal to the Emperor of Heaven?"
Murtazan Khan held a bright yellow edict in his hand, with square characters written by Ming people on it, which he could not understand at all.
But at this moment, his hands were trembling constantly, and his whole body was scared.
It has been decades since the Siberian Khanate split from the Golden Horde, and it has been passed down to him for the third generation. They were invaded by the Kazakhs, and also attacked the Principality of Muscovy with the Kazan Khanate.
It once sought asylum from the Ottoman Empire and became a client state of the Ottoman Empire.
In order to survive and continue, they tried various methods and made various efforts, but today, he knew that the Siberian Khanate was coming to an end.
Facing the powerful Ming Empire, the small Siberian Khanate had no resistance at all. Although there were only 10,000 cavalry in front of them and there were tens of thousands of people in their own city, it seemed that they were not unable to fight a battle.
However, the Ming cavalry in front of them was a terrifying existence that chased the Kazakhs and fled like bereaved dogs. It swept across the Ottoman Empire and beat the Ottoman Empire to the point where they had no temper and had to sign an alliance under the city. It was the powerful Ming Empire that destroyed many khanates in the Western Regions.
What can I do to reach the small Siberian Khanate?
Just as Murtazhan was hesitating what to do, a loud roar echoed through the sky outside the city.
"Dong dong~dong dong~"
The deafening sound of artillery shelling was accompanied by billowing white smoke. The shells roared in the sky, and then fell heavily into the city of Chengji-Tula.
Boom~boom~
In the city, cannonballs fell one after another, and then exploded heavily, blowing the simple buildings in the city to pieces. In a blink of an eye, there were ruins and broken walls everywhere, and panicked people were everywhere, like headless flies, scurrying around.
A shell fell next to Murtazan Khan. The huge explosion and shock wave made him dizzy, and his whole body became stunned.
Before he could recover, the howls of the Ming army's attack rang out.
Then there was a dense sound like fried beans from outside the city, and then, with a loud bang at the city gate, the city gate was blown open, and the Ming army rushed in like a tide.
Han Yi and Huo Yun rode tall horses and walked on the streets of Chengji-Tula.
"Compared with our cities in the Ming Dynasty, this place is really terrible."
Looking at the small town in front of him, Huo Yun couldn't help but shake his head.
There is nothing to say about the small scale. It is not that there were no small towns in the Ming Dynasty. There were a large number of immigrant towns in Hezhong, the Western Regions and other places. At first, the population was only 10,000, and the scale was also very small.
However, the towns in the Ming Dynasty were neatly planned, and the houses were beautifully built. Most of the streets were hardened with cement as much as possible. Even if they were not hardened, the streets in ordinary towns would still use blue bricks, stone bricks, etc.
Pave it so that the streets are not too muddy.
But look at the small town in front of you.
All the buildings are very simple, all made of wood, and the construction is very random, with no art at all.
In addition, you can also see a large number of yurts. From a distance, they don’t look like a city, but rather like a group of herdsmen gathering together to spend the winter.
As for the streets, they were even more miserable. The roads were so muddy that if you stepped in, you might get stuck in them. There was no hardening at all.
In addition, the whole city exudes a foul smell, and feces can be seen everywhere mixed with an inexplicable smell. Horses, deer, sheep, etc. can be seen fleeing in panic everywhere. From time to time, stables can be seen everywhere.
Deer pens, sheep pens, etc. are places used to keep such livestock.
Look at the people who were beaten to death by the Ming army. The clothes they were wearing were made of very good materials. They were all sewn with various furs. However, the craftsmanship was not flattering, so that these clothes looked very tattered.
.
In addition, all of these people have thick beards and long hair. Many of them have disheveled hair, just like savages. The key is that they have not been taken care of well. Some of them can even see small animals swimming.
“I don’t know what use a place like this is to our Ming Dynasty~”
Huo Yun shook his head while watching.
The land here is indeed very fertile, it is all black soil, but the climate here is so cold that no crops can be grown here, and even the most fertile land is useless.
Soon, the two of them rode horses and arrived at the palace of Murtazan Khan. It was said to be a palace, but in fact it was just a large yurt connected together.
At this moment, a large number of prisoners were gathered here, and everyone looked at these Ming people with fear in their eyes.
These people of the Siberian Khanate were very primitive and barbaric, which also meant that their folk customs were fierce. Facing the attack of the Ming Dynasty, they vigorously resisted.
However, under the powerful guns of the Ming people, no matter how strong the warrior was, he would be beaten into a sieve. He was no match for the Ming people. He was killed without the ability to fight back. In less than half an hour, the entire city fell.
In the hands of the Ming people, they all became prisoners of the Ming people.
Murtazhan Khan was very lucky. He was not killed by artillery shells or gunshots, but he survived and became a prisoner.
"General, this is the Khan of the Siberian Khanate, Murtazhan Khan!"
Murtazan Khan was brought to Han Yi and Huo Yun.
"Why do you Ming people attack our Siberian Khanate? We have never had any grudges with you Ming people?"
Murtazan Khan was tied up, he kept struggling and roared angrily.
"I can't attack you without grudges?"
"The land that our Ming Dynasty emperor likes is our Ming Dynasty's land. If you occupy it, it is a sin."
Han Yi looked at Murtazan Khan. He was dressed similarly to many leaders of the grassland tribes he had seen, and there was no big difference.
"Drag it down and chop it~"
"In addition, all the descendants of the Siberian Khan's royal family will be executed without leaving a single one alive!"
Then Han Yi coldly issued the execution order.
"Bang~"
Soon, in front of many captives of the Siberian Khanate nobles and tribal leaders, with the sound of a gunshot, Murtazhan Khan was directly shot. At the same time, all his captured heirs were also shot on the spot.
With the execution of Murtazhan Khan, the demise of the Siberian Khanate was officially declared.
"From today on, everything here belongs to the great Son of Tomorrow. All of you and all tribes must be loyal to the great Son of Tomorrow. You must pay taxes every year, pay tribute to the court, and guard this land for the Emperor.
"
After executing Murtazan Khan, Han Yi turned around and looked at the many captured nobles and tribal leaders, and said coldly again, and then an interpreter translated his words to the people present.
"We are willing to be loyal to the Emperor of Heaven, and willing to pay taxes and tribute to the Emperor of Heaven!"
These nobles who were already in despair and thought that they would definitely die, upon hearing this, the tribal leaders were immediately overjoyed, and then they all knelt down to show their loyalty.
"Hmm~"
Han Yi nodded with satisfaction. Not only did he kill all these people, but it was also to stabilize these tribes in Siberia. Although they were small in number, the total number did not exceed 200,000.
But the population here is sparsely populated, and they are still needed to defend this land. Moreover, killing is not the purpose, the purpose is to obtain this vast land.
Killing Murtazan Khan and others was also to shock the many tribes here and let them know how powerful the Ming people were, so that they would not dare to rebel against the Ming Dynasty easily. It was also to prevent anyone from using the descendants of Murtazan Khan.
Make a fuss, officially destroy the Siberian Khanate, and annex the entire vast land.
"Raise the dragon flag!"
Soon, a flag stand was erected in the center and highest place of Chengji-Tula City. In the solemn silence, everyone watched the Ming Dynasty Dragon Flag rising slowly and fluttering in the wind, officially declaring this vast land.
The land was incorporated into the Ming Dynasty's territory, and it also announced that all of North Asia was included in the Ming Dynasty's territory.
“There is really no way to see this city~”
"Let someone send a batch of cement over here, and rebuild the city walls here, and build some more houses and buildings. Five thousand soldiers need to be stationed here, but we can't let our people drink blood with them at a glance~"
"Pay special attention to the fact that the winter here is very cold. We must fully consider the issues of warmth and safety in winter."
After doing all this, Han Yi started busy building towns again. This was also the old rule. Once he occupied a place, he would not just retreat back as stupidly as before.
Instead, they need to build towns locally and then immigrate here, so that they can become like nails and gradually control an area firmly in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
