Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 393

With the arrival of a heavy snowfall, the European continent has finally returned to its previous calm.

This kind of calm is extremely rare for Europe, because before this, the west of Europe was in the midst of the Hundred Years War between England and France. The east was panicked by the Ming army's march north, and the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire suffered consecutive defeats.

But has Europe just entered a brief period of peace?

No.

West of the Volga River.

Qian Yong is a mature and steady person, even more steady than Jian Xiao. In Zhu Zhanhe's view, Qian Yong's only shortcoming is that he is too cruel.

Because among the three people, only Qian Yong himself could completely and thoroughly execute Zhu Zhanhe's orders without requiring additional orders. Jian Xiao and Zhu Sanfeng could not.

Zhu Zhanhe had never left any room for treatment of foreigners. Jian Xiao and Zhu Sanfeng were not very good at this, but Qian Yong was the only one who showed no mercy.

But this time, Qian Yong did not fight bloody battles in the Sea of ​​Azov like he had done before. After filling the Sea of ​​Azov with a large number of people from the Principality of Lithuania and the Golden Horde, he went north along the Don River.

According to the map given by Zhu Zhanhe, he followed the Don River to the highlands along the Volga River.

Along the way, Qian Yong only fought a few small-scale battles and wiped out less than [-] enemies.

Of course, the main reason is that he didn't meet anyone. If he met more people, he would definitely not have such a small record.

However, as the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be monsters. The excessive smoothness along the way also made Qian Yong feel wary.

Arriving south of the highlands along the Volga, he decided to stop advancing until he had clear and correct information.

As for why I chose this place, there is only one reason: supply.

The Ming army's fleet was parked in the Sea of ​​Azov, and they could enter the Don River along the Sea of ​​Azov. However, the Don-Volga Canal did not exist at this time, so it was impossible to enter the Volga River from the Don River.

Now, the Ming army can use ships to deliver supplies to the nearest place between the Don River and the Volga River, and then transfer to Qian Yong's hands by traveling overland for less than [-] miles.

However, even Qian Yong did not expect that he would be stationed in the highlands along the Volga River for more than half a month. Just when he lost patience and wanted to change his mind, the arrival of a person changed his mind.

Yuri Dmitrievich.

Just talking about this person, most people may not know who he is, but he has a very awesome father.

The first Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Mosk.

Whether it is the Principality of Kiev or the current Grand Duchy of Mosk, just 30 years ago, the person who ordered this state group was not the Grand Duke of Moscow, but the Grand Duke Vladimir who inherited the Principality of Kiev.

In addition, although the fifteenth century was a period of expansion for the Grand Duchy of Mosk, at the beginning of the fifteenth century, the situation of the Grand Duchy of Mosk was not good.

The Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the west is watching with eager eyes, and the Golden Horde in the south is also dissatisfied because the Grand Duchy of Mosk has cut off its tribute several times. There are many enemies around it, such as the Ryazan Principality, and even Yuri Demetriye is inside. Vicky was ambitious.

After the death of Vasily I, which marked the beginning of Grand Duke Mosk's control of the surrounding states, his eldest son Vasily II succeeded him. As Vasily II's younger brother, Yuri Dmitrievich was very dissatisfied.

But because Basil I left him alone when he died, he handed Basil II to his father-in-law Vytautas, and Vytautas fulfilled his promise very well. Yuri did not find a suitable opportunity. .

Historically, Yuri waited until the death of his grandfather Vytautas before he began to show his fangs.

But now, he found new possibilities.

"So, what do you need and what do you want from our Ming Dynasty?"

Looking at Yuri who was respectful in front of him, Qian Yong frowned.

To be honest, although he has not encountered any decent enemies in the past few years, and he has mostly dealt with the Japanese country that Zhu Zhanhe has roughly conquered, but he has a lot of insights into people's hearts.

For a person like Yuri who was able to kowtow to himself even though he did not have any official position or title, Qian Yong felt that he must be a person who could achieve great things.

In other words, Yuri is now a wolf, but still a wolf in its infancy.

Once he grows up and has his own power, it is very likely that he will bite back.

"Dear Easterners, I don't need you to pay anything extra. All I need is for you to take action against the Golden Horde."

Yuri lowered his head, very humble.

"I obtained the title of Grand Duke Mosk from the Golden Horde through bribery, but this cannot be officially recognized by the Golden Horde, so I need you to involve the Golden Horde when I mobilize my troops. , nothing more.”

"So..." Qian Yong narrowed his eyes, and the look from the gap between his eyelids was very unkind.

"What can we get."

When saying this, Qian Yong's tone was a bit serious because he had a better understanding of Yuri.

It's a very practical way of playing, but it's still rather clumsy.

Qian Yong believes that Yuri has the ability to use this technique beautifully, but his current situation is not good.

With his brother's reputation inside and outside the Golden Horde denying him recognition, he didn't have much capital and couldn't bring out many chips, so this method seemed particularly clumsy.

"To be honest..." Yuri paused, gritted his teeth, and decided to burn the boat.

"I can't promise you anything now. I can only say that after I become the real Grand Duke of Mosk, I will give you sufficient rewards, including but not limited to money, food and beauties. Anything except land will do! "

"In addition, you actually got what you wanted in the process of helping me, didn't you?"

……

Qian Yong looked at Yuri in front of him. He actually didn't want to agree. Because Yuri didn't have enough chips, the deal seemed particularly worthless.

To put it bluntly, Yuri can't give anything of substance now, and what he said to Qian Yong is just a blank check.

After he becomes the Grand Duke of Mosk, there is no question whether he can honor it or not.

but!

Qian Yong has no right to make such level decisions.

"I will inform our Crown Prince that you can go back first."

Looking at Yuri who was full of expectations, Qian Yong gave an answer that was not an answer, and then issued an eviction order without mercy.

"In addition, it is winter now. Even if our alliance is finally reached, we will not launch an attack at this time."

"Finally, I would like to remind you that before this, I still hope that you can come up with some chips that can impress us, otherwise..."

As he spoke, the corners of Qian Yong's mouth curved, revealing a chilling smile.

Looking at Qian Yong's smile, Yuri was in a daze. A feeling of fur spread from the bottom of his heart to all over his body, giving him goosebumps all over his body.

In fact, he planned it very well.

In addition to obtaining the imperial edict of the Golden Horde and joining the Ming army to block his brother's reinforcements through means, he also found the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in order to attack the Ming army when the Ming army attacked the Golden Horde.

You know, although the current Ming army cannot be said to occupy half of Europe, half of it can still be counted.

After taking over the old lands of the Ottoman Empire and taking almost all of Bulgaria and part of Wallachia, the Ming army has become a major European power.

However, Yuri now suddenly has a feeling that he has done something wrong.
