Chapter 403: The Crisis and Opportunity of the North (3)

"Your Highness, do we need this matter?..." Shimadoc asked cautiously.

At the critical moment of the return of the Khan Ting army in the Western Expedition, this kind of "good thing" suddenly happened. If you just stood by and watched, you would be a missed opportunity.

Ulutus knew the meaning of Shimadocza. It is indeed possible to use the current chaos to make things difficult for the Khan Court to slow the return of the Western Expedition army. But if this matter is done too much, or it is completely uncontrollable, it will be bad if it backfires.

After all, according to the historical trajectory, the Khan Court did not reach the old land of the Naiman tribe until the end of next year. Although the official roads are now built, they are only carried out in the northern part of the Mobei, Xia Kingdom, and Uighurs. Moreover, because most of these places are open, it is convenient for horse riding. Therefore, the official roads are only flattened and set up road signs. They also built bridges and paved roads in some difficult places, cutting bends and straightening. This greatly facilitates traffic efficiency.

It was also known that the roads in the rear were being leveled and consolidated on a large scale. When the main force of the Western Expedition returned, compared with the original history, they brought a lot of wealth and slaves. The craftsmen and beauties collected from various countries, as well as many young and strong, would become excellent slaves in the future of the Khanate.

These slaves of these incalculable people are not qualified to ride horses, so they can only walk slowly with their legs. Those who are tired and left behind during this period can only be killed by the Mongolians who are monitored. Their bodies will slowly rot in the yellow sand and become food for wolves, or fatten and barren land.

Concerning the speed of these people's journey, the main force of the entire Western Expedition could not get faster.

But now with the stimulation of rebellion, if the Khanate left behind in Mobei could not stand it, he had to ask for help from the main force of the Western Expedition, saying that he would abandon the baggage and speed up his return with all his might.

In addition, the enemy's enemies are friends, and they are not suitable for all occasions.

For example, the Ming Dynasty and the forest tribes in the North Sea (Lake Baikal) area are not friends. They are also the policy of annexation that the Ming Dynasty has always implemented for various tribes, so compared with the Khanate, the forest tribes are more disgusted and feared the Ming Dynasty.

Because the Khan Court only needed them to pay tribute regularly, but the Ming Dynasty wanted to annex their tribes. Not only were the cattle and sheep gone, but the people were gone. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also had the most rules. Those who were used to freedom and had been the king of the mountain for a long time were unwilling to lose their power just like this, and they also handed over their life and death to a doll he had never met before.

Therefore, if the tribes in the forest were too strong, it would also hinder the Ming Dynasty's policy of encroaching on the northern border. If Ulutus knew that the Balahu tribe had moved east, he would definitely be more cautious about this matter.

Unfortunately, the distance between the two sides was too far, and the message transmission was delayed. In addition, the Balahu troops moved eastward with all their might, which allowed Longjiang Province to get the news first.

Now, after considering it, Ulutus still told Shimadoz to not only pay close attention to this matter, but also to give certain help to Xia and those rebel tribes if necessary.

After all, the threat of the Linzhong tribe to Ming State was passive, while the Khanate threat to Ming State was proactive. When the two parties were infringed on the light, it was naturally the first priority to solve the threat of the Khanate.

But Ulutus also warned Shimadoc that, without any last resort, the secret guards could not reveal their identity as a member of the Ming Kingdom.

As for the Khan Temple, there is still a need to do the best skills in the face.

Otherwise, the identity of the vassal state of Ming State would also seem too unwilling.

Valley point

He took people to the embassy hall set up in Shangjing, which reflected the concern of the vassal state for the sect leader and the intention of spying on more information.

If possible, it is also possible to send troops to help quell the rebellion. However, the accidental injury and capture during the rebellion must have belonged to the Ming Kingdom. In the end, it is impossible to ask for help, just start empty-handed.

But I believe the Khan Court was also afraid of Ming's troops!

Judging from the series of actions and attitudes shown by the Ming Kingdom before, the vassal state of Ming Kingdom had no respect and loyalty to the sect leader. Instead, it was still rebellious and had repeatedly become dirty and provocative.

Therefore, it is a damn thing that Khan Ting can accept the "heartfeltness" of Ming Dynasty with peace of mind.

This martial arts is not good, and relatively civilized methods are still OK.

For example, when selling cement, building official roads requires cement. Although the supply of cement can only cover a small part of the official roads planned by Khan Teng, the supply of cement can only cover a small part of them. However, Khan Teng is still used on those critical sections of the roads.

When using cement and the official road without cement, it does show a huge difference. In terms of traffic efficiency alone, the official road with cement is much stronger, stable and flatter than the official road without cement.

When driving the same carriage, the carriage on the cement road can transport more cargo. The wear of the wheels is greatly reduced.

Seeing such benefits, the Khan Ting wanted Ming to provide more cement. However, due to the output, Ming Ting really couldn't supply more. However, after taking over Kyushu Island, conquering Fusang, and dividing its power into three, this situation changed a lot.

You should know that volcanic ash is one of the important raw materials for Ming Dynasty cement at this stage. As an island country and earthquake-prone Fusang, the reserves of volcanic ash are also very large. It is far enough to meet the current needs of Ming Dynasty.

With sufficient supply of volcanic ash, the output of cement can be further increased. Moreover, providing more supplies to the Khanate can also reflect the kindness of Mingguo and indirectly promote the Khanate to exploit the people's power, so as to intensify conflicts and force more forces in the country to rebel.

Together with cement, the amount of gunpowder can also be supplied. In terms of the effect of opening mountains and exploding stones, gunpowder is extremely useful. However, the supply of Ming Dynasty in this regard is both sky-high and very limited.

Previously, Alahaibeji wrote a letter to Ulutus himself, indicating that the Ming Dynasty would increase the supply of gunpowder. Unfortunately, Ulutus refused because of its difficulty in producing.

But now with the increase in the supply of sulfur, it can provide more gunpowder to the Khanate.

In Fuso, sulfur and volcanic ash are now the fist products exported by local forces to Mingguo. And because local absenteeism only needs to provide a few rice balls when mining, without considering additional rewards, it is also very convenient to mine.
