My Daming New Empire

And Lin San and the others also smoothly returned to the camp along the passage opened by the Ming people.Although there were only 50 of them, none of them were injured, and the number of enemies they killed far exceeded their number by several times.

And more than 100 athletes of Ming Dynasty were injured, and more than [-] people closed their eyes forever.

Although they won the battle, the atmosphere in the camp was very gloomy. These were their fathers, fellow villagers, and brothers who stayed on this land forever for a better life.

In the south, hundreds of kilometers away from them, Chen Cheng was sitting in a buggy, watching many Uzbek warriors brave the wind and snow, and felt extremely worried.

"I hope you can hold on until I pass, and don't give up on Tang Lincheng."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Chen Cheng came to the extreme west earlier than Lin San and the others, but he never came to the north, but stayed in the Hezhong area to join the vertical company.

The political center of the Golden Horde is in the south, and the north has only forests and long winters, which are definitely not suitable for human survival.

In Tanglin City, that is, around Yekaterinburg in later generations, there are hundreds of thousands of Bashkirs living here.

The Bashkirs can also be said to be a hard-working nation. They dominated one side in the early years, and the Bulgarians who had been bullied did not dare to come east.But when Meng Yuan moved westward, those who were killed by the Meng Yuan people only dared to live scattered in the forest.

Their complex beliefs and national composition made them inconsistent and eventually gradually declined.

After the decline of the Mongols, they were exploited by the Birms and Novgorods in turn, and the Uzbeks in the south even used them as a logistics base.

But precisely because of the complicated situation, the weakness of the Bashkirs gave them a chance to breathe.From 100 years ago, Bashkir City, the largest city originally built by the White River, became the trading center of the surrounding large powers, and gradually developed.

Bashkir City is about a thousand miles southwest of Tanglin City, and it is the center of Bashkir people's life.But just [-] miles south of Tanglin City, there is also a settlement of Bashkirs, which is also the Chelyabinsk of later generations.

When Lin San and the others arrived in Tanglin City, what they violated was the interests of the Bashkirs. They also wanted to expel Lin San and the others, but they were repelled, so they could only acquiesce in the existence of Lin San and the others.

Chen Cheng already knew of Lin San's existence through the surrounding tribes.But with winter on the horizon, he wasn't worried about their safety.

Because in winter, the weather is cold and supplies are difficult.Although the Turks and the Slavs have many conflicts and wars continue.But it has been more than 100 years here, and there has never been a war in winter.

Hearing that the Grand Duke of Moscow forced the Novgorod Principality and the Birm Principality to form a coalition army, and instead wanted to take advantage of the winter to wipe out Lin San and the others, Chen Cheng became anxious.

Don't be surprised, Lin San and the others have no local intelligence network at all.But Chen Cheng has now turned those yellow-skinned Mongols, Uzbeks, and even those Turks into Ming's allies.

Now Zheng Heng and the others are still leisurely enjoying the local beauties in Suiye City, and they only go out to train occasionally, thanks to the credit of Chen Cheng coming a few months in advance.

The Mengyuan people were already scared by the Ming people. The muskets of the Ming Dynasty have no opponents in this era, and no one is willing to face them.

Moreover, compared with the people of Ming Dynasty, the people of Meng Yuan hated those heretics who exude a stench all over their bodies.

The Golden Horde has been in decline for nearly a hundred years. If those stinky people take a bite out of them today, and take a bite out of them tomorrow, a group of elders in the Golden Horde have long hated them to the bone.

Just a few years ago, the stinky people who called themselves Slavs almost attacked Batu Sarai, the capital of the Golden Horde, forcing a group of Turks and Mongols to give up the area around the east bank of the Volga River (Kazan) Large tracts of fertile land.

The Ming Dynasty in the south is dealing with their enemy, the Western Chahatai Khanate, and now the north is dealing with those stinky people again. Whether it is the Eastern Chahatai Khanate or the Golden Horde, most people support it.

There is a key reason for this, that is, Daming taught them how to grow cotton five years ago.

There are large areas of fertile land and pastures in the Hezhong area, but more of them are the Gobi Desert.Although cotton also requires land and water, the river and land are the most indispensable in the river area.

In later generations, this is a famous cotton-producing area, and now Zhu Zhanji just advances this matter by hundreds of years.

There is no need to rob anymore, the merchants of Ming Dynasty will take the initiative to send all kinds of exquisite cloth, silk, tea, and porcelain.

Most of the tribal elders organized their own convoys and started a transportation business.It was also because of them that Daming had been preparing for three years for the grain and grass to be transported to the river.

Moreover, the food that was originally prepared was enough for 30 troops for two or three years, but now the number has been reduced by half, which means that half of the food was given to them by Daming, as long as they transport the remaining half to the surrounding area of ​​Suiye City.

This kind of interest relationship is more stable than any alliance, especially those tribes that have taken refuge in Ming Dynasty and regard Ming Dynasty as the suzerain country, and get more benefits.

Chen Cheng is now able to thrive in the river, and even win over the Uzbeks who were originally hostile to Daming, mainly because of this transfer of benefits.

Without benefits, how could the Uzbeks be willing to send more than [-] cavalry to help him fight a battle.

Fighting is killing people.

Apart from the most miserable Uzbeks, other tribes also have their own needs, and he was able to cobble together this army of [-].

It's a pity that he didn't have a plan at the beginning, and he didn't receive an order, so he didn't dare to borrow troops from Zheng Heng.

Otherwise, only [-] Daming Musketeers are needed, and Chen Cheng can confidently repel the Slav coalition forces.

He is very clear about Zhu Zhanji's layout of Lin San and the others, and also knows that Zhu Zhanji attaches great importance to the Han people's settlement in this far west.

But no matter how important it is, Lin San and the others are just a group of civilians. If because of them, they asked Zheng Heng to borrow troops and missed the emperor's important event, even Zhu Zhanji would not be able to keep him.

Of course, it is more likely that Zheng Heng drove him out directly.

Even the promises he made with these tribes now, he still made his own claims without reporting.

He also knows to do less and make less mistakes, and do more and make more mistakes, but he can't just watch Lin San and the others be wiped out.

Now his greatest hope is that Lin San and the others can withstand the attack, otherwise, they will have to wait until Samarkand is captured before they can avenge them.

The northwest region is vast. When he got the news, it was the Uzbek tribe in Daqing Lake, which is five thousand miles away from Tanglin City.

This is only the distance on the map. In fact, many places have to cross rivers and detours, making the journey even more difficult.

Even if they are all cavalry, they cannot travel more than three hundred miles a day.Now he can only do his best and obey the destiny.

But the situation was more optimistic than he thought. Although Lin San and the others were just ordinary people, they were all young and strong, and most of them were originally bandits.

These people may usually be greedy for life and afraid of death, but in this place where there is no support, they can only hug together and resist together.

Although the Slavs are cold-resistant, they are only relatively speaking. They are also human beings and need sufficient supplies. When there is nothing to eat, they will starve to death or freeze to death.

After being besieged for more than half a month, although they almost broke into the camp several times, a large section of the wooden wall and the horses were burned down.

But at this time, everyone will unite as one and kill the enemy together.

They didn't know how many enemies there were, they were all from those tribes.But they know that as long as the defense is breached, none of them can survive.

This is not a personal enmity, but a struggle between different ethnic groups for survival and territory, and it must end with the elimination of one side.

And the severe cold here also makes everyone fearful. If there is no stable supply of affairs, they will never survive even if they run out.

What's more, that Master Mao has already controlled all the horses, and no one can ride them.

They are now counting on the enemy's limited supplies, which will not last long.They have been here for several months, and they know very well that the surrounding tribes are suffering, and no tribe can supply tens of thousands of people with food for a long time to fight.

They also sent people to ask for help from the south, but they didn't know whether the four people they sent could get out of the forest alive.

Although the situation was tense, Lin San and the others did not suffer much from the tug-of-war for many days.

One is that they are all strong and strong, waiting for work at leisure.The second is that their weapons are advanced, whether it is a spear or a long knife, they are sharper than the enemy.
