Chapter 895

The Five Kingdoms Make an Alliance

The Kazakh Khanate Khanate entered the coalition headquarters and shouted in anger:

"General Golovin, the Ming army swept all the way and had already entered the hinterland of our Khanate. Now it is three hundred miles away from Turkestan. Can the coalition forces be dispatched, right?"

Yangjir Khan now knows that the Ming army is a musket team, and the cavalry of the Kazakh Khanate only has a small number of Vulcan guns provided by the Rakshasa Kingdom.

He knew that it was impossible to drive the Ming army out by relying solely on the Kazakh Khanate. He could only rely on the coalition forces. The Rakshasa State had a flintlock rifle and an invincible division Cossack cavalry.

The words of the Khanate of the Kazakh Khanate immediately surprised other Khanate lords, and they did not expect that the Ming army was so fast.

I originally wanted to attack the Yili River Valley, but now I'm fine, I've come to the door.

They all looked at the coalition commander Golovin, wanting to see if he could deal with the powerful Ming army.

Golovin was also startled by the words of the Kazakh Khan, but he should have come soon and laughed out loud:

"Haha... Isn't this better? We can destroy the Ming army in one fell swoop with ease, and then we can easily occupy the Ili River Valley and the entire Yerkand Khanate."

The Kazakh Khan did not believe Golovin's words at all. The war took place in his Khanate. If it happened in the Rakshasa Kingdom, would the damn Golovin dare to say that?

But he dare not say that now, after all, he still has to rely on the coalition forces led by Golovin to help the battle:

"But general, the Ming army is very well equipped. It not only has artillery but also has more fierce rifled rifles. You must block them a hundred miles away from Turkestan, otherwise I, Ben Khan, would be worried that Turkestan would not be able to protect!"

Seeing that the Khanate of the Kazakh Khanate was so anxious, Golovin could only comfort him with great sincerity:

"Don't worry, the Chechen Khanate has been persuaded by our Rakshasa Kingdom. Soon, the Khan will lead the army to join us soon. Once they arrive, the number of coalition troops will reach 200,000. In addition, your Kazakhstan army has more than 100,000. The number of coalition troops can reach 300,000. At that time, it will not be crushing the Ming army..."

"General, but the Ming army has already massacred more than 100,000 herdsmen and soldiers from me. There are more Kazakh herdsmen outside the Turkic city. Once the Ming army comes, their cattle, sheep and horses will be stolen..."

The Khan of the Kazakh Khanate was much calmer when he heard that the Chechnya Khanate also joined the anti-Ming Dynasty.

Although the Chechen Khanate is not a powerful country, there are still more than 100,000 troops.

But he began to worry that the Ming army would steal the cattle, sheep and horses of the herdsmen of the Kazakh Khanate. As for the life and death of the herdsmen, he really didn't care. There were many people in the Kazakh Khanate, but he couldn't say that.

Except for the Mughal Kingdom, the Khans of other Khanate led their troops to come in person. When they saw that Golovin looked bad, they also began to persuade Yangjir Khan.

"Don't worry, Khan, even if the herdsmen's cattle, sheep and horses were stolen by the Ming army, we will still snatch them back when the Chechen Khanate soldiers arrive. Besides, don't you want the Ili River Valley and the Seven Guards of the Kansai in the Ming Dynasty?"

In the Ili River Valley, their words hit Yangjir Khan's key points, which is a good place for the Kazakh Khanate day and night.

"Okay! I'll listen to you. At that time, the Kazakh Khanate only needs the Ili River Valley, and everything else belongs to you..."

There was the ubiquitous Ming Jinyiwei and Shadar as the inside line. News of the Kazakhstan Five-Nation Alliance quickly spread to Zhu Cixuan.

Zhu Cilang immediately ordered someone to send the information back to the capital and asked his father's army to destroy the other four countries.

In order to prevent the five-nation coalition forces from launching a sudden attack, Zhu Cixuan sent someone to send letters to Zhang Fugui and Li Yan.

Let their two armies stop advancing immediately, set up camps and dig trenches on the spot, and prepare to fight against the coalition forces of the Five Kingdoms.

After receiving the order from Zhu Cilang, Zhang Fugui and Li Yan immediately ordered the army to stop advancing and set up camp on the spot, and then left the deputy general to guard the military camp, and they rushed to the central army with their personal guards.

After receiving the arrival of Li Yan and Zhang Fugui, Zhu Cixuan immediately held a military meeting to study the tactics against the five-nation coalition forces.

Because the coalition forces were still three hundred miles away from their base, Zhang Fugui brought Meng Liang and Huang Xiaohu to attend the military meeting.

After the generals and Zhu Cilang greeted him, Zhu Cilang waved his hand:

"Let's sit down! Today we will discuss dealing with the coalition forces of the Five Nations."

Zhu Cilang said as he opened the military map of the Kazakh Khanate and said

"The Kazakh Khanate is not like our Daming Pass. They are nomadic peoples who live wherever they go. There is only one capital, Turkestan City."

Li Yan nodded:

"Yes, nomadic peoples have no cities, which is a disadvantage and an advantage. They have no worries in war. They can run away if they fight, or they can run away if they grab them."

Zhu Cilang expressed his approval of Li Yan's words:

"Yes, my father once told me that nomadic peoples are mainly cavalry, they run away as soon as they fight, and they make a comeback as soon as the army withdraws. Therefore, China has been harassed repeatedly so that it is impossible to destroy them. If you want to eliminate them, it is best not to let them escape. This time we will kill them at all costs and be better to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Zhu Youjian is right. Looking at ancient Chinese history, the unified Central Plains dynasty will be threatened by the northern nomadic peoples.

Both sides were victorious and defeated, such as the Xiongnu, Turkic, Xianbei, Khitan, Mongolia, etc. It seemed that the Central Plains dynasty had destroyed one, and a new grassland overlord appeared after a while.

During the Han and Tang dynasties, they fought against the Huns and Turks for hundreds of years and decades of war. In the end, the Huns were divided and defeated, the Eastern Turks perished, and the Western Turks and other nomadic peoples respected Li Shimin as the Khan of Heaven.

However, after a long time, a new overlord appeared on the grassland, such as the Xianbei behind the Huns and the Uighurs behind the Turks.

In many cases, the Central Plains dynasty was on the defensive, while the northern nomads were on the offensive.

In other words, this is a confrontation between two forms of civilization, nomadic civilization and agricultural civilization.

In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was the king, while nomadic peoples were the main ones.

Therefore, the unification of ancient dynasties that would be united for a long time was actually one of the important reasons for the strong enemy in the north.

Gathering the national strength, the food from the south, the horses from the north, and the soldiers from the north, to fight against the death-resurrected northern nomads. The price of the Central Plains is to change dynasties, and the north is the disappearance of the names of ethnic groups and then rebirth.

Secondly, the nomadic peoples are located in the north and have no fixed place.

The Han army was not adapted to the northern climate and could only retreat when winter came.

It is not suitable for cultivation north of the Qinling Mountains. Even if the vast land is occupied, it cannot be occupied for a long time. In the end, it can only give up being occupied by new nomadic peoples.

Finally, the nomadic people have strong combat capabilities and do not require logistics supplements, but are all nearby supplements.

On the contrary, for the Han army, you have as many logistics personnel as you have. The daily consumption is huge and the battle cannot last.

Of course, the most important thing was the issue of productivity. At that time, people were very attached to their hometowns, and no one was willing to go north to settle down.

This has always caused nomadic people in the north to escape. In addition, the cost of completely solving the nomadic people in the north is too high. The weakness of the farming people is that logistics supplies are too harmful to national strength.

Take Emperor Wu of Han as an example. The savings of Wen and Jing generations, the three Han-Hungary Wars caused the Han Dynasty to lose nearly half of its population and triggered a peasant uprising.

The price of completely defeating the nomadic peoples in the north is basically the end of a powerful dynasty.
