- "It was breached in less than an hour?"
In a place 200 miles away from Damascus City, a mighty army was marching. Kansu II, who was riding on a tall horse, looked at the latest intelligence and fell into deep thought.
The city of Damascus has a long history, the city walls are tall and strong, and guarded by tens of thousands of troops. However, the Ottoman army broke through in less than an hour, which really shocked Kansu II.
This speed is too fast!
"The Ottoman Empire's army swept across Europe, beating the Europeans to the point where they couldn't hold their heads up. This fighting power is truly well-deserved and truly terrifying."
"The Ming Dynasty can push the Ottoman Empire to the ground and rub them. How terrifying will the combat effectiveness of their army be?"
"In the battle of Erzinjan City, the Ming Empire only had 200,000 troops against the Ottoman Empire's 500,000 troops. As a result, Erzinjan City was captured in less than a day."
"The city of Erzinjan is known to be naturally dangerous. Even the Ming Dynasty's army can break through it in one day. The Ottoman Empire is still defending the city, and it still has a huge advantage in terms of military strength."
"No wonder this Ming Empire army can sweep across all directions!"
In the past, Kansu II had heard countless legends about the Ming Empire¡¯s army. It was said that the Ming Empire¡¯s army swept across all directions and was invincible.
He still didn¡¯t quite believe it, thinking that this might be an exaggeration.
The army of the Ming Empire may indeed have strong combat effectiveness, but it is not as invincible as they boast.
But now, the city of Damascus was captured by the Ottoman Empire in just an hour, and the Ottoman Empire was still defeated by the Ming Empire.
With such a comparison, he immediately knew how powerful and terrifying the Ming Empire's army was.
"The city of Damascus was captured so easily. It will definitely not be easy to defeat the Ottoman Empire. Then I will only have to look at the new army in my hands."
"Those decadent feudal military aristocrats and lords are already vulnerable and useless. Expecting them to be of no use is useless."
"When the time comes, let them charge forward first. After consuming the strength of the Ottoman Empire's army, we will send new troops to the field."
Kansu II was planning silently in his heart.
Looking at the mighty advancing army in front of him, this time, he, Kansu II, also bet on the fate of the country.
After several years of training, he brought 30,000 new troops with him. The traditional Mamluk military nobles also led an army of 150,000. In addition, he also recruited 200,000 landless peasants to form a new army.
Although this new army of 200,000 peasants had just been formed and had no combat experience at all, during the digging of the Egyptian canal, it was organized by the Ming people according to a certain military system, so it had good discipline and was very Obeying orders and equipped with cold weapons can be used as long as they are commanded properly.
Of course, we mainly rely on the 30,000 musketeers we have in our hands.
These 30,000 people are his ace army modeled after the Ming Dynasty's army. Not only are they all armed with weapons and equipment imported from the Ming Empire, but they are also modeled after the Ming Dynasty's army as much as possible in terms of treatment, food, and many other aspects.
It has been established for several years. Although it has not experienced combat, it has been trained for a long time, has strict discipline, and has a very strong desire to fight. It is very eager to win in battle and gain military merit.
The little calculation in Kansu II's heart is naturally ringing. He wants to continue this war to greatly weaken the power of the traditional feudal nobles. In this way, he can truly have all the say. At the same time, cultivate your own new forces.
He clearly knew that these feudal military nobles and lords in the country were corroding the empire. They annexed land wantonly, and because they were feudal military nobles and lords, they did not need to pay taxes.
The taxes they receive are getting less and less, farmers are losing a lot of land, domestic conflicts are becoming increasingly acute, and peasant uprisings and riots are happening one after another, all of which are shaking the rule of the Mamluk dynasty in Egypt.
Kansu II was determined to reform, but he encountered a lot of resistance. These traditional military nobles were stronger than imagined. It was too difficult to take the land back from their hands.
If you piss them off, they can unite to overthrow themselves. You must know that these feudal military aristocrats have soldiers and food. This has been the case with the Mamluk dynasty several times.
The ancestor of Kansu II was actually a feudal military noble. Later, he united with some military nobles to overthrow the original dynasty and established theThe current dynasty.
Kansu II knew that once he really made up his mind to take back the land, he would fall out with these feudal military nobles, so he either had enough power to suppress them, or he had to find ways to weaken their military power.
And now, the opportunity has finally come.
It¡¯s just that he, Kansu II, has his own little calculations, and these feudal military nobles also have their own little calculations.
In front of the marching army, several military nobles gathered together.
"The city of Damascus is so strong that it was captured in an hour. Can we defeat this Ottoman army?"
Karawen looked at the army in front, his face full of sorrow.
As a great nobleman in the Mamluk dynasty of Egypt, he has huge land and wealth inherited from his ancestors. He has been well clothed and well-fed since he was a child, and he has lived a life like a master.
Naturally, he doesn¡¯t want to go to war. Fighting is personal, not to mention fighting against the Ottoman Empire¡¯s army that is sweeping across Europe and Asia. The strength of the opponent can be seen from just the battle of Damascus City. Damascus City was captured in one hour.
"You have to fight even if you can't win, otherwise what else can you do?"
Duer on the side looked at Karawin. He was also a military noble. He had a vast fiefdom, a large amount of land and a population. In his own territory, his life was naturally very comfortable.
But in recent years, his life has become increasingly difficult.
Although Kansu II is young, he is an accomplished king. He has been trying every means to consolidate his status and power. A lot of power is in the hands of Kansu II.
Originally, everyone thought that Kansu II was young and didn¡¯t understand anything, and that everyone could control as much power as possible, but they underestimated Kansu II.
Domestic land annexation was serious and there were many conflicts, but he was able to find people from the Ming Dynasty to dig the Egyptian canal. By digging the canal, Egypt could breathe a sigh of relief in a few years. Kansu II also took the opportunity to train his army and master more more say.
So now, military nobles such as Dur and Karawin are becoming more and more wary of Kansu II, fearing that Kansu II will directly take back their land and troops.
Once we reach that point, if we start a war with Kansu II, our chances of winning may not be that high.
"The Ottoman Empire's troops are sweeping across all directions, which is far beyond what we can resist. We must not die in vain on the battlefield when the time comes. He will take the opportunity to take back our land and troops at any time."
Karawen thought for a while and said.
"Then what do you want to do?"
Duer pondered for a moment, then thought about it and asked.
"This Egyptian canal can collect 18 million taels of silver in just one year, but we can't get a penny of this silver. Why should the Ming people give us half of it? This canal is our Egyptian canal."
"Kansu II took out the land that belongs to us Egyptians to dig a canal. The profits from this canal should belong to us Egyptians. Why do they, the Ming Dynasty, divide our canals?"
"This Egyptian canal should belong to all of us Egyptians."
Karawin did not reply directly, but brought up the matter of the Egyptian canal.
"Kansu II's inspirational reform intention has long been revealed. Sooner or later, he will take away the land and army from our hands. Now with the huge wealth brought by the canal, he can easily train tens of thousands of people every year in the future. A new type of army is coming out.¡±
"When he becomes strong enough, we will be camels waiting to be slaughtered."
Karawin¡¯s words obviously hit Duer¡¯s heart.
??We are all feudal military nobles, and all they rely on is the land and army in their hands. Without these two things, they are nothing.
Now that it is affectionate and reasonable, there is the huge temptation of the Egyptian canal, and Karawin is not afraid of Durl.
"What on earth do you mean?"
Duer looked at Karawen, and at this critical moment, he actually told himself these things, which was obviously a conspiracy.
"You and I will join forces and overthrow Kansu II together when the time comes~" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
