Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 895 Five Nations Alliance
When the Great Khan of the Kazakh Khanate entered the coalition headquarters, he shouted angrily:
"General Golovin, the Ming army has swept all the way, and has already entered the hinterland of our Khanate. Now it is three hundred miles away from Turkestan, can the coalition forces be dispatched?"

Yang Jierhan now knows that the Ming army is all musketeers, and the cavalry of the Kazakh Khanate only has a small number of Vulcan guns provided by the Raksha Kingdom.

He knew that it was impossible to drive out the Ming army by relying solely on the Kazakh Khanate. He could only rely on the coalition forces, the Raksha State-owned flintlock guns and the invincible Cossack cavalry.

The words of the Great Khan of the Kazakh Khanate immediately surprised the other Khanate generals, and they did not expect the Ming army to be so fast.

Originally, I wanted to attack the Ili River Valley, but now, people have attacked.

They all looked at the coalition coach Golovin, wanting to see how he could deal with the powerful Ming army.

Golovin was startled by Kazakh Khan's words at first, but he should come over soon, so he burst out laughing:
"Haha... Isn't this better? We can wipe out the Ming army in one fell swoop, and then easily occupy the Ili River Valley and the entire territory of the Yarkand Khanate."

The Kazakh Khan didn’t believe Golovin’s words at all. The war happened in his khanate. If it happened in Rakshasa, would the damned Golovin still dare to say that?
But he doesn't dare to say that now, after all, he has to rely on the coalition forces led by Golovin to help fight:

"But general, the Ming army is very well equipped, not only have cannons, but also even more powerful rifled guns. We must keep them away from Turkestan for a hundred miles, otherwise I am worried that Turkestan will not be safe!"

Seeing that the Great Khan of the Kazakh Khanate was so anxious, Golovin could only comfort him with earnest words:
"Don't worry about the Khan, the Chechen Khanate has been persuaded by our Raksha country, and soon their Khan will lead an army to join them. Once they arrive, the number of coalition troops will reach 20, plus you Kazakhs 10,000+ The army, the number of coalition forces can reach a staggering 30, and it will not crush the Ming army by then..."

"General, but the Ming army has slaughtered 10,000+ herdsmen and soldiers of mine. There are more Kazakh herdsmen outside the Turkic city. Once the Ming army kills them, all their cattle, sheep and horses will be robbed..."

The Great Khan of the Kazakh Khanate was much calmer when he heard that the Chechen Khanate had also joined the anti-Ming team.

Although the Chechen Khanate is not a powerful country, it still has 10,000+ troops.

But he began to worry that the Ming army would rob the herders of the Kazakh Khanate of their cattle, sheep and horses. As for the life and death of the herdsmen, he really didn't care. The Kazakh Khanate had plenty of people, but he couldn't say that.

Except for the Mughal Kingdom, the great khans of other khanates led their troops in person. Seeing Golovin's unsightly face, they also began to persuade Yang Jierhan.

"Khan, don't worry, even if the herdsmen's cattle, sheep and horses are taken away by the Ming army, we will still snatch them back when the soldiers of the Chechen Khanate arrive, besides, don't you want the Ili River Valley and the Seven Guards of Kansai in the Ming Dynasty? "

The Ili River Valley, their words hit Yangier Khan's key point, which is a good place that the Kazakh Khanate thinks about day and night.

"Okay! I'll listen to you. At that time, the Kazakh Khanate only needs the Ili River Valley, and everything else will belong to you..."

With the ubiquitous Daming Jinyiwei and Shadar as an insider, the news of the Kazakh five-nation coalition quickly reached Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong immediately ordered someone to send the information back to the capital, and asked his father's soldiers to destroy the other four countries.

In order to prevent a sudden attack by the Allied Forces of the Five Nations, Zhu Cihong sent someone to deliver a letter to Zhang Fugui and Li Yan.

Let their two armies stop advancing immediately, set up camp and dig trenches on the spot, preparing to fight the Allied Forces of the Five Nations.

After receiving Zhu Cihong's order, Zhang Fugui and Li Yan immediately ordered the army to stop advancing and set up camp on the spot, and then left the deputy general to guard the barracks, and they rushed to the central army with their personal guards.

After receiving the arrival of Li Yan and Zhang Fugui, Zhu Cihong immediately held a military meeting to study tactics against the Allied Forces of the Five Nations.

Because the coalition forces were three hundred miles away from their camp, Zhang Fugui brought Meng Liang and Huang Xiaohu to the military meeting.

After the generals greeted Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cihong waved:

"Sit down! Let's discuss how to deal with the Allied Forces of the Five Nations today."

As Zhu Cihong spoke, he opened the military map of the Kazakh Khanate and said
"The Kazakh Khanate is not like our Daming Pass. They are nomads who live wherever they live. There is only one capital, Turkestan."

Li Yan nodded:
"That's right. The nomads don't have cities. This is both a disadvantage and an advantage. They don't have any worries about fighting. They can run away after fighting, or they can run away after robbing."

Zhu Cihong agreed with Li Yan's words:

"Yes, my father once told me that the nomads are dominated by cavalry, they run away as soon as they fight, and they come back as soon as the soldiers withdraw. Therefore, China has been harassed so many times that it is still impossible to eliminate them. If you want to eliminate them It is best not to let them escape, this time we must kill their vital forces at all costs, and it is best to wipe them all in one fell swoop."

Zhu Youjian is right. Throughout ancient Chinese history, the unified Central Plains dynasty will be threatened by the northern nomads.

Both sides won and lost, such as the Xiongnu, Turks, Xianbei, Khitan, Mongolia, etc. It seems that the Central Plains dynasty wiped out one, and a new grassland overlord appeared after a while.

In the Han and Tang dynasties, they fought against the Huns and Turks for hundreds of years and decades respectively. In the end, the Huns split and lost, and the Eastern Turks perished. The Western Turks and other nomadic peoples respected Li Shimin as the Khan of Heaven.

But after a long time, a new overlord appeared on the grassland, such as the Xianbei after the Huns, and the Uighurs after the Turks.

In many cases, the Central Plains dynasty was on the defensive, while the northern nomads were on the offensive.

In other words, this is a confrontation between two forms of civilization, nomadic civilization and farming civilization.

In the cold weapon era, cavalry was king, while nomads were dominated by cavalry.

Therefore, the unification of ancient dynasties that must be united for a long time actually needs to face the strong enemy in the north is also one of the important reasons.

Gather the power of the whole country, food from the south, horses from the northwest, and soldiers from the north to fight against the nomads in the north who have been resurrected from the dead.

Secondly, the nomads are located in the north, and there is no fixed place.

The Han army was not adapted to the northern climate, so they could only retreat when winter came.

The north of the Qinling Mountains is not suitable for farming. Even if the vast land is occupied, it cannot be occupied for a long time. In the end, it can only be abandoned and occupied by new nomads.

Finally, the nomads have strong individual combat capabilities and do not need logistical supplements, they are all supplemented nearby.

On the contrary, for the Han army, you have to have as many logistics personnel as there are combat personnel, which consumes a lot of money every day, and the battle cannot last.

Of course, the most important issue is productivity.People at that time were very attached to their homeland, and no one wanted to go north and settle down.

This makes the northern nomadic people always have a place to escape, and the price of completely solving the northern nomadic people is too high. The weakness of the farming people is that the logistics supply is too harmful to the national strength.

Taking Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as an example, the savings of the two generations of Wen Jing and the three Han-Hungary wars caused the Han Dynasty to lose nearly half of its population and triggered peasant uprisings.

The cost of completely defeating the northern nomads is basically the end of a powerful dynasty.
