Chapter 1289 Rakshasa Crusade

Yu Yin asked about this, Sun Kewang reacted, remembering the business of this time, he put down the wine glass, "I went back to Chang'an this time, I hope that the imperial court can allocate 350,000 horses and horses to support the Yuzi Khanate and the monks, drive the Rakshasa back to the west bank of the Volga River, and ensure the safety of my two Silk Roads in Dajin." ”

Yu Yin was taken aback when he heard this, "Why are the Rakshasas approaching the Western Regions, and still affecting the trade route to Samarkand?" ”

Sun Kewang nodded, "At the beginning of the year, we had already reached the Aral Sea, and the trade between the North Road and the Yuzi and the Mongols was basically about to be cut off. If we don't help, it's only a matter of time before Yuz is destroyed. ”

Saying that, Sun Kewang sighed, "I wanted to transfer troops from Guanzhong, but Wang Yan expanded his army by 200,000, and he was afraid that the soldiers in Guanzhong would not be able to transfer it." ”

Sun Kewang didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would expand its army by 200,000 at once, which greatly increased the pressure on the Jin army on the eastern front, and it was forced to grit its teeth and expand the army by 50,000, and it was estimated that it was unlikely to transfer troops to the Western Regions.

Yu Yin pondered for a while, but suddenly shook his head and said, "No, I think this soldier must be transferred." ”

When Sun Kewang heard this, he couldn't help but look at him, and Yu Yin said in a deep voice: "What the prince just said makes sense, my Dajin Dynasty must have a strategy to break the situation." Now that the east is consuming like this, if the Silk Road in the west is cut off by the Rakshasas again, then the period of Dajin's demise will be near. Now the three directions of the southeast and north are not passable, and every move of the Ming Kingdom will be detected immediately, and only in the west will the Ming Kingdom not pay attention. ”

Yu Yin looked at him and said solemnly: "I support the prince, if I can help Yuzi and the monks repel the Rakshasas, I can keep the safety of the Silk Road and the smooth flow of trade, and I can also form a good relationship with the Yuzi Khanate and the monks. ”

Yu Yin obviously realized that if the Jin State did not take the initiative to break the situation and sit in the middle of the pass, Dajin would be finished sooner or later, and since the Ming Dynasty could not defeat it, he pinned his hopes for a breakthrough to the west.

Sun Kewang bowed slightly, "The ministry is really the cadre of the country, but the Rakshasa people should not be underestimated, more than 200,000 Mongols, if they are defeated, they will be defeated, so to deal with them, they must draw elite soldiers, the seven prime ministers in the DPRK and the central government, and the emperor may not have such courage, and if the elite soldiers are dispatched, the Ming army will get the news, and it is very likely to attack." ”

Yu Yin shook his head, "The current situation, the emperor and several Xiangguo may not be incomprehensible, and when sending troops, they can also think of a secret way to hide the details of the Ming Kingdom." Speaking of this, Yu Yin paused and lowered his voice a little, "Lord Wang, if I say something inappropriate, the west will break the situation and get it done, it will be of great benefit to my big gold, this is also a way out!" ”

Ordinary Jin people or officials don't have the courage to say such things, but Yu Yin said that he already thinks about what will happen after the defeat.

At present, there will inevitably be a war between the Jin State and the Ming Dynasty in the near future, and it is inevitable that the general trend of reunification will be driven at this time. If the Jin State wants to reverse this situation, it can only make the Ming Dynasty unable to attack Guanzhong in the short term, forming a protracted war, and creating a situation in which the Ming Dynasty cannot destroy the Jin State, and the Jin State cannot defeat the Ming Dynasty.

In this situation, no one can help anyone, the Ming Dynasty saw that there was no hope of recovering Guanzhong, and Jiangnan had a better life, after a long time, the people were tired of the war, that would make the Ming Dynasty accept the reality of the Jin State separating Guanzhong, no one should be stubborn, so be it.

If you want to create this situation, the Silk Road in the west is indispensable, otherwise the Jin Kingdom can't afford to consume it at all, and it won't be able to drag the Ming Dynasty to accept the reality, and even if the Silk Road is smooth, Yu Yin is actually not optimistic in his heart, so he will say it, which is also a way out.

Sun Kewang became serious, he was from Shaanxi, and he really hadn't thought about this problem, after Yu Yin said, his face gradually changed, and he should think about this problem.

Sun Kewang said in a deep voice, "What the ministry said is reasonable, I will definitely persuade the imperial court to send troops this time." ”

Yu Yin nodded, "In this matter, I will fully support the prince." ”

said that the two of them didn't have much heart to continue eating, in fact, the two of them didn't touch the food at all, and a pot of Wu wine was drunk.

At that moment, Yu Yin asked people to withdraw the wine and food, washed his hands and face with Sun Kewang, and went to the cabinet.

In April 1656, when Sun Kewang returned to Chang'an and asked for reinforcements, the Russians who had finished sowing seeds also reached the season of using troops.

After the destruction of the Mongol Golden Horde, the Mongols fled into Central Asia, and the Russians pursued them near the Aral Sea, and the Mongol threat to Russia was basically lifted.

At this time, there were two voices in Russia, one voice demanded that the eastward advance continue, the Mongols should be cut to the roots, and the rebellious Mongols should be severely punished, and the other voice felt that since the threat in the east had been lifted, Russia's goal should be turned back to Ukraine and Eastern Europe, and it dared to stab Poland quickly while the war between Poland and Sweden was not over.

At first, turning attention back to the west, the voices against Poland prevailed, after all, Russia has coveted Ukraine for a long time, and the opportunity to beat Poland alongside Sweden, the Nordic hegemon that won the Thirty Years' War, is a rare opportunity.

However, while they were discussing, the "Great Flood" war, which was supposed to last more than a decade in Polish history, ended prematurely because of Russia's previous withdrawal.

In the original history, Poland began with the Ukrainian Cossack uprising led by Khmelnitsky in 1648, to the declaration of war by Tsarist Russia on Poland in 1654, and finally won the Thirty Years' War, and Sweden also launched a surprise attack on Poland in 1655, so that Poland could not fight against Russia, Ukraine, Sweden and the Elector of Brandenburg, who was allied with Sweden at the same time.

During this period of history, Poland had to face an attack by 60,000 Russians, 40,000 Cossacks, 40,000 Swedes, and Brandenburg with an army of 50,000.

Poland should have been beaten in the onslaught on all sides, and even the Polish hussars would have suffered heavy losses, and it would have been like a decline ever since.

However, because of the instigation of the wings of the Eastern world, 60,000 Russian troops and 40,000 Cossacks retreated prematurely into the war with Poland, and Sweden, which was originally going to take advantage of the opportunity, stepped into the quagmire of war with one foot.

Although in the early days of the raid, the Swedish army was overwhelmed and integrated into a no-man's land, the famous Polish general Calniecki used guerrilla tactics to deal a great blow to the Swedish army, and the Polish people also continued to harass them, which put the Swedish army in a great predicament.

At this time, Russia suddenly withdrew from the battlefield, the Swedes were immediately embarrassed, the Polish army that had been dealing with Russia, began to return to Poland, Sweden's ally Brandenburg saw that the situation was not good, chose to wait and see, the Polish army and the main force of the Swedish king Karl X fought a decisive battle in Warsaw, the result was that the two sides won and lost each other, and the Swedes could not please them, so Poland signed a peace treaty and returned to Sweden.

In history, this should have been Poland's gradual decline from the hegemony of Eastern Europe, but this time, Poland did not suffer much loss, and Poland successfully saved its national fortunes.

When the news of the armistice between Sweden and Poland reached Russia, the Russians, who were ready to stab them, had to abandon their plans to deal with Poland.

Russia and Poland have huge contradictions on the issue of Ukraine, before because of the surprise attack of the Swedes, Poland had to endure the pain and recognize the autonomous state of Ukraine, now that the Swedish problem is lifted, Poland will certainly not tolerate the Ukrainian Cossacks to continue to collude with the Russians.

Russia will inevitably have another war with Poland, and Russia, which has inherited the barbaric genes of the Mongols, will not stop his expansion.

Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich decided that in order to eliminate the future troubles of the Russo-Polish war, Russia's goal of action was to aim at the east, and to completely conquer the Turks and Mongols in Central Asia.

In May and June, it is the season when the pastures on the grassland are flying, and after a night of rain in the sky, the sun rises at dawn, the rain stops, the clouds become thin, and the sun shines down, and the water droplets on the grass are shining gold.

On the eastern side of the Aral Sea, on a steppe on the banks of the Syr Darya River, nearly 100 tents are secretly set up.

There were no herders here, they were Mongol armies, and the Russians continued to push eastward, squeezing them near the Syr Darya River and the Kazakh hills to the north, where they could no longer retreat.

After the beginning of spring, the Russians needed to sow seeds, so the squeeze on the Mongols and the Yuz Khanate was stopped, but a large number of men and horses were still left, and a large number of cavalry were deployed on the western shore of the Aral Sea and on the southern side of the Tulgai Plateau to prevent the Mongols from flowing back to the Volga region.

The Mongols also set up a number of strongholds on the eastern side of the Aral Sea to prevent the Russians from continuing to infiltrate eastward, as an outpost to prevent the Russians from attacking.

At present, this Mongol tent is an outpost closest to the Russian stronghold, and a thousand Mongol cavalry are stationed.

In the early morning, the sun came out, the sky was clear and blue, and the Mongols in the tents came out one after another, some rushed to graze, some were ready to kill sheep and cook, and after breakfast, the cavalry made their rounds as usual, alerting the Russians for surprise attacks.

At this time, two Mongols caught a sheep and were squatting on the ground to sharpen their knives to slaughter, one of them raised his head, but suddenly found that on the steppe in the distance, something was moving, and the man couldn't help but stand up violently and shouted: "There is an enemy!" ”

Hearing the sound, the Mongols, who were still grinding in the tent, hurried out, and they looked to the northwest, their pupils suddenly dilated, and their faces leaked with horror.

Today, the weather is fine and the view is excellent, and the Mongols see that they are in the steppe, and the crowds of people all over the field are converging here, like a variegated carpet on the meadow.

In front of the carpet, there are banners and countless spears forming a forest, and there are tens of thousands of people in the military phalanx alone, and outside the non-step phalanx, there are countless Cossack cavalry carrying spears and straddle war horses, rolling over.

The Mongols in the camp were so frightened that they turned on their horses, but instead of meeting them, they fled backwards······
