Ryazan Principality, on the banks of the Oka River.
The ancient city of Ryazan has been surrounded by the Ming army at this moment. However, the Ming army does not seem to be in a hurry to attack the city. They just surround it and send troops to sweep in all directions. Wherever they pass, it is like locusts crossing the border. , everything was completely destroyed.
People were captured as slaves and sold to slave merchants and slave trading firms who followed the army. The houses and the like were basically burned cleanly by fire, without any intention of leaving anything behind. plan.
The barbaric behavior makes it hard to believe that this is something the Ming Empire¡¯s army could do.
But the fact is that, as always, the order to clean the house is carried out to prepare for the later immigration.
Countless people are constantly migrating westward in panic, towards the Principality of Moscow and the Principality of Poland and Lithuania. The cruelty of the war is vividly reflected at this moment.
"About three hundred years ago, the Mongolian Batu led a large army to besiege the city of Ryazan in front of him. It only took six days to capture the city of Ryazan in front of him, and then it took three years to conquer the entire Slavs."
¡°The Golden Horde established behind it ruled this vast land for nearly 200 years.¡±
"The Mongols were extremely impressive back then. They fought from the far east to the far west. They also destroyed the Song Dynasty. They also attacked the Middle East and captured Persia."
"Wherever they go, they are like locusts passing through. All cities are conquered by them. Those who surrender voluntarily can still survive on their knees like dogs. If they dare to resist, the city will be massacred immediately."
Outside the city of Ryazan, Huo Yun was riding on a tall horse, pointing at the city in front of him and talking about the history of the city with the generals around him.
"The Mongols are just barbaric butchers. They only know how to plunder and do not understand management and development at all. They can only be strong for a while. When they flourish and decline, they will immediately fall apart."
"War and killing are only means, not the end. If we cannot understand this, even if our force is strong for a while, it will soon completely decline."
Next to Huo Yun, Lieutenant General Liang Yu said disdainfully.
As senior generals who graduated from the Royal Military Academy, they have many strict requirements for history, culture and other aspects, and they even have to have their own understanding and opinions.
This time z.c*om Zhang Si. "The biggest problem of the Mongol Empire at that time was actually a common problem among the grassland people. Every inch of land they acquired was only used for grazing horses, regardless of whether the land was suitable for grazing horses."
"I heard my grandfather talk about something, about what my grandfather's grandfather experienced in the late Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the Mongols turned the attached land south of the Yangtze River into pastures, killed all the people and buried them in the soil. They said this The grass that grows is better.¡±
¡°The Lianghuai region was originally a land of plenty, but after decades of Mongolian rule it became a desolate and desolate land.¡±
"As you said, they are indeed barbaric butchers."
Huo Yun nodded and said.
¡°The land they occupied back then was extremely vast, but then they followed the old path of the nomads and gave all the land to their sons, so that the originally huge Mongol Empire fell apart in an instant.¡±
"In order to compete for the khanates, they attacked and killed each other, which consumed their own internal strength. There was no clear inheritance system, and the many khanates that were divided did not like each other."
¡°In addition, their population is small, and they only herd cattle and sheep, but they don¡¯t know anything else. They even need to rely on foreigners to collect taxes.¡±
"The reason why the current Principality of Muscovy is able to rise is entirely because they collected taxes for the Golden Horde. Relying on this power, they gradually became rich and powerful, and eventually they joined forces with the Crimean Khan. The Golden Horde was destroyed together with the other countries."
强牺 bxwx.co 读牺。"The Mongol Empire of that year is completely gone forever, and even many of the remaining The Khanate was also completely wiped out by us Ming people."
Liang Yu sighed with a smile, nodded.
"Do we really have to wait for the marshal's army to arrive before attacking the city?"
"With our speed, can we capture this city in one day?"
"if not?"
"Military orders are like mountains, and as soldiers we can only execute them."
Huo Yun said helplessly.
?We are ready to send troops to help, and we will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the Ming people when the time comes. "
"However, I heard that the Crimean Tatars in the south have been completely defeated by the Ming Dynasty and are migrating to the west to Hungary and the Ottomans."
"This time, it is said that the Ming Dynasty troops were divided into three groups, with a total of more than 300,000 troops marching westward. Their prince was the general marshal of the Western Expedition. In addition, they mobilized hundreds of warships from the Black Sea Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet, and recruited thousands of ships. Merchant ships were used to transport troops and supplies.¡±
Romanovich also replied quickly.
Now that the news has spread, the entire Eastern Europe region has suddenly fallen into endless panic. Zhida z.com Zhixiao
People have recalled the scenes of history that the Mongols experienced when they conquered Europe more than two hundred years ago. The Mongols then whipped the Europeans hard like the whip of God, making the whole of Europe strong for the Mongols. Completely impressed by the force of force.
This time, like the Mongols back then, the Ming Dynasty pressed their troops on the border and whipped the Europeans again.
Unlike back then, when they knew very little about the Mongols, they knew a lot about the Ming people. They had already heard all kinds of rumors about the Ming Empire and knew how vast, wealthy and powerful the Ming Empire was.
This put even greater pressure on them. Even the powerful Ottoman Empire was beaten by the Ming Dynasty and had to sign an alliance under the city. Can they defeat the Ming Dynasty?
