My Daming New Empire

In other words, the entire East and West Siberia of later generations, all the way to Mongolia and Xinjiang, are their territories.

In the 12th year of Yongle, Zhu Di conquered Wala in the north until he reached the Tula River.In the following year, Mahamu and others were captured by Alutai and transported to Yingtian Mansion for death.

After Mahamu, his son Tuo Huan succeeded him.He established Tuotuobuhua, a descendant of the Yuan royal family, as the khan and himself as the prime minister.

But the Oala tribe declined because of the prosperity of Ming Dynasty. Many tribes in the east of them belonged to Ming Dynasty, and the remaining tribes who did not want to belong to Ming Dynasty retreated to the Bahe area.

They were no longer Da Ming's opponents, and their cavalry had completely lost their threat in the face of Da Ming's muskets.

But in the Eight Rivers region, they are still the undoubted overlords. Whether it is the barbarian tribes in the north or the various tribes of the Golden Horde in the west, they dare not be enemies with the Oirats.

Tang Sai'er and his 5000 people marched westward, bringing enough food for them to eat for a year.

Zhu Zhanji also spent a lot of money on them, providing them with five hundred catties of wheat flour and twenty catties of seeds for each of them.

Although these grains are not enough to meet a year's needs, they have weapons and tools in their hands, and there are countless prey in the forests of the Northland.

When they traveled westward, the food, the salt, and the cloth became the jealous targets of many tribes.

But they are so numerous that ordinary tribes dare not attack them at all.

Until they crossed the Yenisei River and arrived at the Waicila tribe in the west of the Oara tribe.

The Waicila tribe lived in the primeval forests from the Deleger River to the upper reaches of the Yenisei River in later generations, and lived in the Eight Rivers Basin.

They lead a life mainly hunting, supplemented by fishing and animal husbandry, and are part of the "people in the forest".There are a large number of people, and they are known as "bald cotton (ten thousand) Woyi assassination".

After being expelled from the Mongolian Plateau by the Ming Dynasty, they dared not go eastward and went southward, so they could only hide in the forests of the North to survive.

For these tribes, whether it is cloth or salt, they are urgently needed.

Today, Daming is willing to provide all kinds of exquisite cloth and salt, including spices, to the tribes it belongs to.However, Daming strictly controlled the quantity of these transactions. They had enough for themselves, and it was not enough for them to resell.

The Waicila tribe was wild and untrained, and refused to surrender to Ming Dynasty, so they naturally had no money to buy. Many people in their tribe had already suffered from weakness.

The reality forced them to trade or simply plunder the Baizhang tribe in the southwest. Those Kazakhs had not yet formed their own tribal forces, and the Turks could not resist their fierce attacks.

However, they can only bully some small tribes. Because of their strength, they do not have the ability to directly attack the Central Asian Salt Lake.

The supplies Tang Saier and the others carried were full of great temptations.

Tang Sai'er and the others have been practicing various tactics during the march for more than a month.

Ever since Daming had reliable muskets, the drills of various formations have become dominated by superior firepower to destroy the enemy. These formations are not suitable for Tang Sai'er and the others who only have fifty muskets.

But Tang Sai'er and the others didn't need to study battles in the wild, because they went to the extreme west and built Tanglin City for survival, not for war.

So along the way, they practiced more defensive battles.

Although Lin San is the nominal leader of this team, the number of people he can control is less than a thousand. The 5000 people are divided into seven small groups, each with its own interests.

Xie Zhenghe and Liu Gao had been instructed a long time ago, and have been secretly sowing discord among the various families, preventing them from forming a complete group.

They were originally a loose alliance, and now they need the court to provide them with various services.Even if they gain a firm foothold in Tanglin City in the future, they still need to trade with Daming to maintain the survival of the base.

It is necessary to be able to cooperate with each other when facing alien races, but if they are also a piece of iron in the face of Ming Dynasty, it will not be conducive to the imperial court's restraint on them.

So in this group, although Lin San is one of the most powerful leaders, like Gao Yang'er, they are definitely not obedient to Lin San.

On the contrary, because of Tang Sai'er's status as a woman, she has become an excellent lubricating oil among major groups. Her words are more effective than Lin San's words in many cases.

After crossing the Yenisei River, Tang Saier and the others passed through Krasnoyarsk, which is also the most famous mining city in Russia in later generations.

Here, they entered directly into each other's encirclement.

The battle took place on a plain outside a forest, and the Waicila tribe wanted to use the flat terrain to enhance flexibility and combat effectiveness.

But Tang Saier and the others had already prepared, and 1000 or [-] carts filled with supplies quickly formed a huge circular square, surrounded by hundreds of women and thousands of horses.

Although they all have horses, most of the horses provided by Da Ming are rough horses, and their riding skills are of course not as good as the outsiders who have lived on horseback since childhood.

Therefore, they will not use their own weaknesses to meet the strengths of the enemy.

Since this huge phalanx stretches for several miles, it is naturally impossible that there are no loopholes.But don't forget that they have fifty muskets, and the bows and arrows in their hands are far better than the short bows in the hands of the outsiders.

This battle was not fair from the very beginning. The outside assassins surrounded and wiped out the soldiers for three days, but they did not take advantage of it, so they could only retreat in embarrassment.

But they didn't prepare for it at all. Gao Yang'er and the others were all bandits, and they were not good people at all, so how could they suffer this loss for nothing.

With the help of Xie Zheng and them to find the lair of the Outlaws, they quickly grasped the details of the Outlaws.

On the night of the third day of May, 2000 of them left most of them and rushed to the outside of the Waicila people overnight.

As it was getting light the next day, they first lit the fires, released the livestock, and then launched the general attack.

Although there were only 2000 of them, they suffered catastrophe before they woke up because of mental arithmetic and inadvertently.

This battle lasted from early morning to noon, they killed more than [-] middle-aged men, and captured a full [-] old and young women and children.

All the old people and children were directly killed by Gao Yanger and the others, leaving only women and girls, still more than 2000 people.

This tribe of nearly 2000 people escaped with less than [-] people.

But Gao Yanger and the others did not suffer much, less than 300 people were killed, and thousands of others were seriously injured, but all of this was worth it, because of this battle, they made a name for themselves.

Zhu Zhanji was very happy when he saw these battle reports.

Because the Chinese nation is an agricultural society, it has always lacked the heart and wildness to conquer the outside world.

Gao Yang'er and the others could be called mobs and rioters in the territory of Ming Dynasty, but now they have arrived at the border, but they can clear up the tranquility of the border for Daming.

Although they have not yet reached the Ural Mountains on the dividing line between Asia and Europe, Zhu Zhanji has already seen the benefits of sending them there.

I only hope that they can work harder and gain a firm foothold there. With them opening the way, in just a few years, Daming will be able to form a sufficient supply of local materials and political management.

Without the area east of the Ural Mountains, the Russians only have the European area, so it is impossible to form a strong empire.

Moving his gaze south on the map, Zhu Zhanji looked towards the Persian Gulf, wondering if Zhu Di has arrived there now...

(Sorry, it's New Year's Eve today, there are a lot of things, and this chapter is not well written, so I can only update [-] words first.)

Chapter 83 Transactions

Indian peninsula.Kochi country.

Since the fifth year of Yongle, Zheng He was ordered to build the Daming Palace in Kezhi. This palace was built in the 13th year of Yongle with a cost of 15 people. In the [-]th year of Yongle, Zhu Zhanji also stayed here.

But it was not until today that its real owner was ushered in here.
