In the Kazan Khanate, a grassland with abundant water and grass was littered with corpses, blood flowed on the ground, and injured horses screamed in sorrow.
"Hu~hu~"
Nahati, the old patriarch of the Argen tribe, was dressed roughly, his hands were shaking slightly, the armor on his body was stained with blood, and he looked at the enemy not far ahead with blood-red eyes.
Looking behind him, he saw that the old man was at the front. Everyone was similar to him. They were panting and their bodies were shaking. The remaining young men and women in the tribe were in the middle. They all had perseverance on their faces. They were really brave.
A good boy.
Behind them are children who are only in their teens. None of them have grown up yet, but at this moment they have to pick up a machete and fight like a man.
At the very back are a large number of women and children, who are the hope and future of the entire tribe. At this time, everyone is watching the battle in front of them nervously and fearfully, waiting for the unknown fate.
Nahati is very relaxed. If men like them fall, the fate of these women and children will be very tragic. They will be like lambs eaten by wolves. They will be divided up cleanly in the blink of an eye without any residue.
remain.
"Brave Kazakhs~"
"Pick up the scimitar in your hand. Even if we die, we will die like men!"
Nahati once again clenched the scimitar in his hand and roared loudly behind him.
"kill!"
Suddenly, everyone behind him let out a deafening roar.
But just when they were about to launch another attack, a figure slowly walked out on a horse among the enemy troops directly in front.
Seeing this man, Naha waved his hand gently, and the silence immediately fell behind him. He also rode his horse forward, and the two parties came to the middle area.
"I am Muhammad~Amin, the Great Khan of Kazan Khanate!"
Amin first showed his identity. He was very young. He was originally a puppet supported by the Principality of Moscow. However, in the past few years, through his own efforts, he got rid of the control of the Muscovites and completely controlled the entire Kazan Khan.
country.
"Dear Khan~"
"I am Nahati, the patriarch of the Argen tribe of the Kazakh Khanate!"
Nahati had actually guessed the identity of the other party, because where he was just now, he saw the black Sulu ingot that symbolized the identity of the Great Khan.
"Nahati, our Kazan Khanate and your Kazakh Khanate have always been in harmony with each other. There are no conflicts or grudges between each other."
"Why are you invading our Kazan Khanate on a large scale now?"
A Ming nodded slightly, and then started to question.
Since this period of time, a large number of Kazakhs have entered the territory of the Kazan Khanate from the direction of the Kazakh Khanate. The number is as high as two to three hundred thousand. Although most of them are old and weak, women and children, there are also tens of thousands of young and strong people among them.
An extremely powerful force caused great turmoil to the entire Kazan Khanate.
"Respectful Khan~"
"We didn't mean to enter your territory, but we really had no choice. The hateful Ming Empire invaded our Kazakh Khanate. They killed everyone they saw and robbed cattle and sheep whenever they saw them. They are as terrifying as locusts."
"Our great Mulundekh Khan led one hundred thousand grassland athletes in a bloody battle with the Ming Dynasty, but they all died. We had no choice but to move west, so as to avoid being slaughtered by the Ming Dynasty."
"We don't want to be enemies with you, we just want to find a place to live and survive."
When Nahati spoke, he looked extremely humble.
He clearly knew that even though he still had 20,000 young cavalry in his hands, the army of the Kazan Khanate in front of him might not really be able to defeat him. However, once all the young cavalry in his hands were wiped out in the Kazan Khanate,
If you don't, then you are like a lamb to be slaughtered.
Therefore, people on the grassland must also learn to assess the situation and keep their heads down.
"The Ming Empire attacks your Kazakh Khanate?"
When A Ming heard this, he immediately frowned deeply. Even though he had received the news and now that it was confirmed, he also became sad.
He had already heard a lot about the power of the Ming Empire, but because of the distance, he had never really felt it.
But today, he truly felt the power of the Ming Empire.
In his own eyes, the Kazakh Khanate is extremely powerful, with a vast and fertile Kazakh grassland, a population of more than one million, and powerful grassland cavalry.
It has always been the overlord in the area around Central Asia, constantly competing with its powerful neighbors for hegemony and land in Central Asia.
But such a powerful Kazakh Khanate was destroyed by the Ming Empire, so that the Kazakhs had to flee westward.
The Kazakhs in front of them were just old, weak, women and children who had been beaten by the Ming Dynasty and fled in all directions. They were not the elite of the Kazakhs, but for the Kazan Khanate, they were already a hard nut to crack.
This is the gap. The Ming Empire radiated a huge shadow, which suddenly shrouded A Ming's head.
"Yes, the great Khan~"
"We have nowhere to go and no way out."
"I hope that the noble and wise Khan can give us a way to survive and a land to live on."
Nahati nodded solemnly, but the meaning of his words was expressed clearly enough.
The first is to show that there is no way out, and don't push yourself into a hurry. Rabbits will bite when they are anxious. What's more, there are 200,000 to 300,000 Kazakhs who fled to the Kazan Khanate this time, including more than 20,000.
Young and strong, he is still a powerful force.
The second thing is to tell A Ming, you should be wiser and don't fight with us stupidly. All we want is to survive. It's as simple as giving us a piece of land.
Amin looked at Nahati coldly, and he understood the meaning of Nahati's words.
He pondered for a long time, thought for a while and said: "As long as you are willing to be loyal to me, I, the Kazan Khanate, are willing to accept you. After all, the relationship between us has always been very good."
Amin also had his own considerations. At this moment, the Kazan Khan was in trouble at home and abroad.
There is covetousness from the Principality of Moscow. He himself only got rid of the control of the Principality of Moscow a few years ago and truly became the master of the Kazan Khanate. However, the Principality of Moscow has never given up on regaining control and annexing the Kazan Khanate.
At the same time, the Crimean Khanate did not give up any opportunity to annex the Kazan Khanate. The Grai Dynasty has always wanted to reunify the splintered khanates of the Golden Horde and recreate the glory and prosperity of the Golden Horde.
great.
Internally, due to the intervention of external forces, his brother Ilham always wanted to replace himself again and become the master of the Khanate. At the same time, the tribal leaders, nobles, etc. internally were also ambitious and wanted to replace themselves.
All this made Amin worried. On the one hand, he did not dare to fight with the Kazakhs in front of him, but on the other hand, he wanted to conquer the Kazakhs in front of him for his own use.
The Kazakhs are a tribe on the grassland, a people on horseback. They are brave and good at fighting and are extremely good warriors. If they can conquer the Kazakhs in front of them and use them for their own use, they will be more able to deal with both external and internal affairs.
However, thinking about the Ming people coming from the east, A Ming frowned deeply.
"Respectful and great Khan~"
"Thank you for your kindness and fraternity. We are willing to be loyal to you and be your most loyal servants from generation to generation!"
Hearing Amin's words, Nahati was overjoyed. He immediately got off his horse and knelt at Amin's feet to express his loyalty to Amin.
Then he came to the front of everyone in his tribe without stopping and explained the situation clearly to everyone.
Then he led his tribe to kneel down in front of A Ming, and expressed his loyalty to A Ming very respectfully, and was willing to be loyal to A Ming in exchange for the land to survive.
"Haha, get up, get up~"
Seeing the Kazakhs kneeling at his feet in the darkness in front of him, Amin burst into laughter and quickly asked them to get up with a smile.
"Nahati, I will place you Kazakhs at the westernmost edge of our Kazan Khanate. It is not a good place to face the attacks and harassment of Crimean Tatars and Muscovite Slavs."
"But now we have no place to house you. I hope you don't mind."
On the grassland, the tense and smoke-filled scene suddenly disappeared. Both sides were cleaning the battlefield and picking up the corpses of their own people.
This kind of thing is so common on the grassland, and everyone has long been used to it.
There was a lot of fighting and killing in the front, but as soon as the negotiation was settled, it was as if nothing had happened. There was no shame in dying on the battlefield, and there was nothing to say.
Amin was riding a horse to patrol the Kazakh camp, watching and talking.
"Dear Khan, your willingness to accept us is already a great gift. We dare not have other extravagant hopes. We are very grateful to have a piece of land that can survive."
When Nahati heard this, he quickly replied.
At this time, it is no longer the time to pick and choose. The key is to survive and to gain a firm foothold.
The west is pretty good too, at least it is far away from the Ming people. Compared to the terrifying Ming people, the Tatars and Slavs are nothing. The Kazakhs are not afraid of them, at least they are not as scary as the Ming people.
What's more, who can guarantee that the Ming Dynasty will stop after occupying the Kazakh Khanate?
Maybe soon, they will attack the Kazan Khanate again and continue to expand westward. By then, they will be in the westernmost part of the Kazan Khanate and can escape faster.
So the west side is good. In fact, this land is the Kipchak grassland area, which is considered an area with rich water and grass.
