Chapter 1376 Cossack

Yesimu Batuer didn't want to talk to this nephew at all.

In fact, according to common sense, Ye Simu had helped this nephew a little before, so their relationship was not bad.

And it's not surprising that brothers and sisters were killed on the grassland. Isn't it rare for the descendants of Shuchi to kill each other on this land for hundreds of years?
But Yesimu is a unique Sutan, perhaps because he learned more about unity from Tavukele Khan. He never wants to betray his elder brother, so he looks down on Kangliji who ignores the blood of his family.

He looked down on him, and he didn't speak ill of Kang Liqi, after all, the inheritance law of the grassland was like this-Kang Liji killed all the heirs of Dayuzi Khan.

Unless he dies, Tavukhal Khan can find another brother to fill the vacancy, otherwise he is the little Khan of Dayuzi.

Now that Kangliji is under the protection of the Ming army, at least in Ye Simu's eyes, there are endless Oirat cavalry serving Kangliji. No Kazakh tribe in Dayuzzi will disobey Kangliji's orders.

His position is as stable as Mount Tai.

The biggest obstacle to this diplomatic mission was not Kang Liji, but Zhu Yu, the commander of the Ming army stationed here.

The meeting was not just between him and the commander-in-chief of the Ming army as Ye Simu imagined, but in public.

Dayuzhan Kangliji, Kangli Department, Dulu Department, Zarayier Department, Alban Department, Suwan Department, Shali Wusun Department, Sirgeli Department, Isti Department, Ushakti Department, The leaders of Xiapraxiti and Hatta cadres are all there.

It was a coincidence that it came sooner rather than later. After Qi Jiguang personally held Shangfang Sword to canonize Kangli's halberd, the leaders of all the ministries were summoned to the shore of Lake Balkhash, and Zhu Yu was canonized on his behalf.

The ministries are divided into seals according to the booklet of Dayuzi Silver Box. Most of the ministries are awarded to commanders and teachers, while the small ones are awarded to thousands of households and hundreds of households.

As the price for obtaining an official position, those below Kang Liji will each send one of their heirs to Beijing.

Originally, it was not Zhu Yu's turn to do such a thing. Qi Jiguang meant to let the Chechen Khan of the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty come to canonize them, but he did not expect that the Chechen Khan of the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty was regarded as a Wala by the Kazakh tribes, which made them very embarrassed. Ask Qi Jiguang to send a military officer of the Ming Dynasty to canonize him.

Qi Jiguang himself was not free, so he dragged Dong Yiyuan to repair the port dock on the Balkhash Lake, and this matter fell on Zhu Yu.

The port and docks are the top priority in Qi Jiguang's eyes, because Balkhash Hunan belongs to Kazakhstan, and Hubei is the land of the Siberian Khanate.

Of course, now that the Ming army has arrived here, it is natural to change the old name of the homeland. Balkhash Lake is called Yibohai, and Qi Jiguang has to rebuild Suiye City on the southern commercial road.

The port and docks are a sharp weapon for the Ming army to go north. There is a rare condition here. In this army, which is mainly composed of Jin Kingdom Mongols, Oara Mongols, and the Long Live Army of the Northern Han, most of them have no knowledge of shipbuilding. known.

Fortunately, there is also the Zhejiang Army. The veterans of the Zhejiang Army patrol the coast with Qi Jiguang. They have sufficient knowledge and skills in shipbuilding, but because they do not have suitable wood, the boats they make may not be called warships, but large fishing boats and different boats. Durable civilian boat.

But that's enough.

Enough troop carriers can shorten the march of the Ming army to the north by one month, and take over the tribal chiefs in the north of Yibohai, and get the latest information on the war between Kuchu Khan and the Raksha Kingdom.

Ye Simu's arrival greatly accelerated the process.

He conveyed to Zhu Yu the news that Tavukal Khan had no intention of continuing the war, and Zhu Yu conveyed that in order to make peace, he had to send envoys to pay tribute, accept canonization, and escort the troublesome chieftain of the Tuqishi tribe over.

Escorting Tuqi Shibu was not a request of Zhu Yu alone, but a request of all the tribal leaders.

First of all, he killed the old Khan of Dayuzi, and secondly, as the core tribe of Dayuzi, Tuqishi occupied the most extensive grassland, and the grasslands of all tribes bordered them.

Destroying this tribe will benefit all tribes.

Ye Simu is a rare Sutan who can distinguish between primary and secondary. Even though he knew that he could not agree to these things, he did not immediately refuse. Instead, he chose to procrastinate, and instead proposed the news that Kazakhstan needed to send troops to support the Siberian Khanate in the north.

His original intention was to let the Ming army know that there was a more powerful enemy in the north, so he spared no effort to exaggerate the Raksha country's offensive, and told almost all the information he knew.

"The Tsar of the Raksha Kingdom did not pay attention to the war in the east, and gave full power to the Stroganov family. They recruited a group of vicious Cossacks and marched along the river in warships."

"But last year, Yermak captured the capital of the Siberian Khanate, and the Tsar sent five hundred shooting troops with the best muskets and artillery."

These were the original words of Kuchu Khan when he asked Tawu Kal Khan for help. Ye Simu said it very neatly, but Zhu Yu couldn't answer it after only one question.

Zhu Yu asked, "What kind of musket cannon?"

Ye Simu didn't know what kind of guns and cannons they were. The only guns and cannons he saw in his life were those of the Ming army, but this was at least a good start—the Ming army was interested in the north.

"I don't know, Kuchukhan said that the rate of fire is very fast and powerful. They have 540 Cossacks and [-] Stroganov family servants. They use axes and knives, muskets and cannons to plunder wherever they go. It was empty, and the capital of the Siberian Khanate, Isker, has been captured."

Zhu Yu's subordinates recorded the information. His arm clamped on the tea table slowly tapped his temple, and there were only four words in his mind: Encounter road is narrow.

The term Cossack had an existing vocabulary in his mind that could be translated.

Japanese pirates.

A small number of stragglers are armed with better equipment than ordinary people and militias. They attack flexibly and are not afraid of death. Isn't this the old opponent he is familiar with, the Japanese pirates?

It's just possible that the Japanese pirates who ravaged the Siberian Khanate had stronger firepower than the Japanese pirates. After all, Ye Simu also said that they had artillery, but they didn't know what kind of artillery they had.

In Zhu Yu's understanding, there are four types of cannons in this world, General Zhenshuo, Tiger Crouching Cannon, Franc Machine Cannon and Stone Shooting Cannon.

So far, according to the information of the Siyang Military Government, it is not known that other countries in the world except Daming are equipped with tiger squatting cannons, and the key information of 'very fast firing rate' makes Zhu Yu think that the artillery that the Cossacks are aided is from the Buddha. Lang cannon.

Zhu Yu wasn't worried about this 'Japanese pirates', even if they each carried a Franco cannon, they still didn't have as many cannons.

He was more worried about the Mongols who joined the Cossacks during the war of conquest, but generally speaking, he thought that sending a command envoy to Qi Jiguang to enter the Siberian Khanate with some Kazakh troops should solve this problem.

He waved his hand, opened his hand again to Yesimu and said, "The commander-in-chief will send someone to go back with you to see Tavukhal Khan to convey His Majesty's request. It will be your trouble."
