The Rise of the European Emperor

"The Rise of the European Emperor ()"!

The benefits of sacking Moscow and Novgorod are twofold. On the one hand, it can relieve the huge pressure on the gold and silver expenditure of the North Sea country; on the other hand, it can suppress the potential of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

As the king of history, Marin is well aware of Mao Zi's great potential. At present, the population of the Ross area has exceeded 10 million, and the land area is huge. Moreover, to the east of it, there are only a few ineffective khanates, which cannot stop Moscow from expanding eastward.

As for the Siberia region, how should I put it, the tsar can conquer an area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers by sending a few hundred Cossacks at will. This may seem like child's play, but it is true history. The natives of Siberia, including people from various tribes of Mongolia, seem to have taken Jiangzhi pills, but they are no match for hundreds of Cossacks.

If the Cossacks were in the wild, they would definitely not be the opponents of those Mongolian tribes. But they are very smart. After going to Siberia, they first find a traffic artery and build a castle. Then, sit back and wait for the local tribes to come and lay siege. Those aborigines and Mongolian tribes are good at riding and shooting, and they are good at playing machetes, but they can't do anything with stone castles. Then the natives lost their troops and lost their generals, and they had nothing to do with the Cossacks.

Afterwards, the Cossacks would do business with local tribes, buy local furs, and bring them back to Europe to make a profit. However, this kind of "doing business" has a compulsive nature.

This is mainly because the indigenous tribes in Siberia, like the Saurons in the Northeast, are relatively small in size, usually with only a few hundred people. The reason is that the distribution of animals is very sparse during the cold winter season in the extreme north. In the absence of agriculture and only relying on hunting, for a large tribe with more than a thousand people, within a certain range, the prey would not be enough to feed everyone.

Therefore, the general Sauron tribe and Siberian indigenous tribes generally have a population of around 200 to 800 people. There are only a few dozen to two to three hundred young and strong in the clan, and generally no more than 500 young and strong.

Although there were not many Cossacks dispatched by Tsarist Russia, it was extremely easy to deal with a tribe of hundreds of people alone. After all, they are more numerous than a single indigenous tribe, and their weapons are more advanced.

Therefore, they will often go out of the castle to bully the nearby tribes. After the fight, the aborigines reacted, and several tribes gathered thousands of people to besiege them, and they retreated into the castle again, leaving the aborigines with nothing to do. Afterwards, the Cossacks would take bloody vengeance on those tribes who fought most aggressively against them. Before the tribes reacted, the tribes that took the lead in the resistance were bloodbathed. After finishing the work, I hid in the castle and got up again...

Under this wretched style of play, the natives will naturally become weaker and weaker in the long run. Then, when these guys saw that the natives were dying, they began to use force to force the natives to pay their furs as taxes, and they would kill them if they didn't pay...

When the natives were almost weakened, the Cossacks asked the Tsar to send immigrants over. When the number of immigrants exceeds the number of natives, the territory of Tsarist Russia will be firmly established.

The Grand Duchy of Moscow has a sufficient population. Once the eastward movement mode is activated, the natives will be unable to resist. With the vast area of ​​Siberia as a fur supply base, Moscow's finances will be greatly supplemented. As long as there is money and enough gray livestock, Moscow can start the explosive mode of the Tsarist Russian era and become a European steamroller.

After gaining strength, Poland will bear the brunt of the disaster. Then, there is the German region next to Poland. Historically, Tsarist Russia bordered Germany. Then, the two world wars pitted Germany. Although the First World War was always defeated, the "gray cattle" who went on to the front contained a large number of soldiers and horses of Er Dezi, which greatly relieved the pressure on the British and French coalition forces on the western front. If Maozi hadn't held back tens of millions of troops on the Eastern Front and allowed Er Dezi to devote all his troops to the Western Front, Britain and France would definitely not be able to stop them, and they wouldn't be able to support Lao Mei to join.

As for World War II, it goes without saying that Soviet Russia is the main force to destroy San Dezi, not the old beauty that Hollywood brags about. It's a pity that Soviet Russian movies are not good, and the promotion of old American movies has taken the credit.

Therefore, Marin does not want the Grand Duchy of Moscow to rise. At least, not right now.

If the gold and silver of the two major cities of the Grand Duchy of Moscow can be looted this time, it will be enough to make the Grand Duchy of Moscow unable to slow down for a long time, thus delaying its rise.

In Marin's view, the rise of Tsarist Russia has three major elements-the first is the annexation of Ukraine. With Ukraine, Tsarist Russia has a huge granary that can support various large-scale wars; the second is to subdue the Cossacks. The first is the thugs who expanded to Siberia and charged into battle; the third is to cross the Ural Mountains!

As the dividing line between Asia and Europe, the Ural Mountains are of great significance. Moreover, it itself has extremely rich mineral resources. Whether it is coal, iron, or copper ore and other non-ferrous metal mines, the reserves are extremely rich. During World War II, the reason why the Soviet Union moved its industrial base here was because it was not only far away from the war zone, but also had enough rich mineral resources to support industrial needs. In later generations, the Ural Industrial Zone is the third largest industrial zone in Russia after the Moscow Industrial Zone and the St. Petersburg Industrial Zone. Moreover, it is the largest heavy industrial area.

Therefore, if you want to suppress the rise of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, you must pay attention to preventing it from annexing Ukraine and subduing the Cossacks. The other is to prevent it from annexing the Kazan Khanate, Astrakhan Khanate and Siberia Khanate. These three Khanates are not destroyed, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow cannot reach the Ural Mountains.

It stands to reason that as long as the four khanates including the Crimean Khanate are supported, the expansion and rise of the Grand Duchy of Moscow can be contained. This is also easy to handle, just support some weapons and armor.

But the problem is that these four Khanates are not only fighting with the Grand Duchy of Moscow, but also fighting within themselves. Moreover, involution is more vicious than against Moscow. The penultimate Khan of the former Golden Horde, Ahimah Khan, was assassinated by Ibak Khan of the Siberian Khanate. If the four Khanates do not fight among themselves and deal with the Grand Duchy of Moscow together, not to mention destroying Moscow, at least they will be able to suppress the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

Unfortunately, the four khanates could not unite. Because they are relatively short-sighted and cannot see the great threat of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

Therefore, after repeated consideration, Marin also gave up the idea of ​​supporting these four countries against Moscow. Only the Crimean Khanate, because of the support of Turkey behind it, is stronger, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow dare not provoke it.

Historically, the Crimean Khanate was also the last to perish. Without him, Turkey behind Crimea is too strong in this era, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow dare not provoke it easily. The other three khanates, in the east, did not recognize the Ottoman Empire as their father, so they were naturally destroyed early.

In this regard, Marin was also a little helpless. It can only be said that the date of demise of the three khanates in the east should be delayed as much as possible. After all, the three Khanates were destroyed, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow crossed the Ural Mountains. Then, it expanded to Asia.

...

In addition to the four Khanates, the spies sent to the Grand Duchy of Moscow also sent back an interesting piece of news—Ivan V Ivanovich, Grand Duke of Ryazan, seemed to have the idea of ​​getting rid of the control of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Moreover, many nobles in the Ryazan Principality supported him to get rid of the Grand Duchy of Moscow and stand on his own.

The Grand Duchy of Ryazan was controlled by the Grand Duchy of Moscow in 1456. At first, Ivan III only asked Ryazan to pay tribute. But Ryazan united Poland and Lithuania against the Grand Duchy of Moscow from 1494 to 1496. As a result, the battle was defeated.

Then, Ivan III was impolite, and directly deprived Ryazan of his autonomy, and sent the governor to station Ryazan City to closely monitor Ryazan. Since then, Ryazan has been divided into two factions - the self-reliance faction and the capitulation faction.

The current Ryazan Grand Duke Ivan V Ivanovich is very young, only 20 years old this year. Moreover, with the support of the independent faction in the Ryazan court, he began to take charge of the government. And his mother was the leader of the surrender faction.

According to reports from spies lurking in the Ryazan area, the 20-year-old Ryazan Grand Duke Ivan V Ivanovich has been seeking self-reliance. It's just that he doesn't have military power in his hands, and the military power is in the hands of the governor sent by Moscow. Therefore, he is also very helpless.

"It seems...Ryazan was completely annexed during the period of Vasily III, right?" Marin was not very familiar with this period of history. After all, this is unpopular. However, I vaguely remember that it was the time of Vasily III.

In fact, Ivan V Ivanovich was the last Grand Duke of Ryazan. Around 1520, he wanted to marry the daughter of Muhammad Glai, the Great Khan of the Crimean Khanate, as his wife, and wanted to use the Crimean Khanate against Moscow to achieve independence.

However, before he implemented it, Vasily III found something was wrong and sent him to Moscow for house arrest. Then Muhammad Gelai sent troops to attack Moscow, and he took the opportunity to escape.

Later, Sigismund I, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, gave him a small fief to stay until his death. The Principality of Ryazan was officially annexed by Vasily III.

Marin didn't know the ending of the young Grand Duke, but he knew that if he broke through the city of Moscow, he could force Vasily III to agree that the Grand Duchy of Ryazan would separate from Moscow and stand on its own.

But Marin is still not optimistic about Ryazan, why? To use the words of later generations to describe Mexico-heaven is too far away, but old beauty is too close!

This sentence can also be used to describe Ryazan - Heaven is too far away, Moscow is too close!

How close is it? Ryazan city is 196 kilometers away from Moscow. Even if you march 30 kilometers a day, it will take a few days. This is much closer than the distance between the United States and Mexico.

The capital is less than 200 kilometers away from Moscow City, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and its strength is not as good as that of others. The fat on the lips is right!

And a country with a strong desire for expansion like the Grand Duchy of Moscow, it is impossible to look at this piece of fat on the lips and not eat it. Unless, Ryazan is far away from Moscow...

"Well, for the sake of this poor kid, we can exchange him for a piece of land at that time. I think the Petersburg area is not bad..."

Marin suddenly felt that after defeating Vasily III, he could consider moving the Grand Duchy of Ryazan to St. Petersburg as a whole. In this way, the mouth of the Grand Duchy of Moscow to the Baltic Sea was blocked. Marin, on the other hand, has one more help to block the Grand Duchy of Moscow. After all, in the face of the threat from the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the Grand Duchy of Ryazan couldn't do without embracing the North Sea Kingdom. If they stayed in the original Ryazan area, they would be annexed sooner or later at such a short distance.

And if you move to the St. Petersburg area, although the climate is a little colder, you can face the sea and the spring is warm... no, it is very convenient to get support from the sea.

If the Grand Duchy of Moscow sends troops to besiege the Petersburg area, as long as the city is not breached, they can wait for the support of warships from the North Sea State to bombard the Moscow army besieging the city with cannons... moreover, they can also deliver supplies...

In addition, here, Poland and Lithuania also have time to support. If they stayed in Ryazan City, so close to Moscow, the allies would be too far away to support them, and there was no time to support them.

"Hey, I seem to be able to use the relocation of Ryazan to cover my immigrants!"

Marin suddenly thought that when Ryazan relocated, hundreds of thousands of people must have migrated on a large scale. At that time, he can use this matter to temporarily cover up his plundering of immigrants. When everyone arrived at the port of Petersburg, Marin directly sent a ship to load the people. Presumably, Grand Duke Ryazan did not dare to refuse, nor was he able to refuse...

Ryazan is a famous agricultural area in Eastern Europe, with a large population of hundreds of thousands. Moreover, most of these people are good at agriculture, and when they are brought back to the farms of Beihai Country, they can immediately adapt to the life of farming. At that time, it is also possible for Marin to make the immigration team bigger and take away a batch by himself. As for the opposition of the Grand Duchy of Moscow? Marin plans to detain Vasily III first at that time, and the population has not been migrated, so he will not be released. That way, you won't be afraid of him blocking you.
