In fact, Qi Jiguang really didn't want to continue fighting westwards anymore, and his staff realized a very important issue.

As for Siberia, at least the current conditions where corn and jade greenhouses have not been popularized, they can only withstand the survival mode of vast and sparsely populated areas.

This is not a matter of winning the battle against the war, but losing the battle against the war is definitely a loss, but winning the battle against the war may not necessarily lead to the winner.

Because the Rakshasa Kingdom is poor, they have taken over more than a hundred towns and villages, but let’s not talk about giant cities such as Beijing, Nanjing, and Yangzhou.

They had never seen a town comparable to Xiningwei. Basically, every time they marched, they would receive information. The whole army was very excited and repeatedly asked the intelligence provider what size it was.

Then the front army rose up and roared to attack the city and land, and finally everyone was dejected.

What they wanted to attack was a big city like Xining Wei, Liangzhou Wei, and Shandan Wei. For this reason, they mobilized artillery and drove the artillery transporters as tired as old oxes. Finally, they transported them to the city. Fei Yu and his group of transporters were so angry that they were all rebels.

What they saw were small things like Hongshan Fort, Nuanquan Fort, Hongya Temple Fort and Wild Boar Slope Fort.

To be unpleasant, can it be matched with heavy artillery?

The large army has realized that on the land in the northwest, there may never be a super-large town like the one in China.

Going further west, we will reach Europa. Qi Jiguang and his group also know what happened to Europa. The work of sharing intelligence in each military government is very good.

Looking around the world, a huge city that can accommodate 100,000 people is rare.

Madrid has only a few tens of thousands of people, while Seville has 100,000 people. However, now it must be counted as the Ming Port, which is two administrative regions.

They hope to find a big city with a population of tens of thousands in this wilderness, which is like a fool.

Without big cities, there would be no enough food. There were countless people everywhere in small villages, which could only be a huge burden on the Western Army.

Qi Jiguang was unwilling to fight again. If he continued to fight, his army of millions would become an army of two millions. But in fact, he could not even take out the regular armed forces of 300,000 people, but he had to support two million.

Nomadism is a very low-yield production method... The nomads who were not subdivided by Qi Jiguang were very happy to eat meat every day. Once they were subdivided, the days of eating meat would end.

How do you say that? It’s a wealthy person, but it doesn’t count.

They gathered up and plundered the livestock along the way west. The Wansui Army and the Zhejiang Army soldiers were used to eating meat. They didn't understand and didn't want to understand the way of survival on the grassland.

The Ming army ate, and the conquest army also ate.

But how many cattle and sheep can resist eating like this all day long?

If you find that something is wrong and needs sustainable development, you will be assigned to the nomads intermittently and will be granted intermittently to the pasture land. Once the pasture land is enfeoffed, your way of survival will change.

A herder has a lot of cattle and sheep raised. The sheep that eats today will not come back to life tomorrow. Only when it lives can it grow hair and produce milk endlessly.

In order to keep them alive, the herdsmen are exhausted, guard against wolves, snow, and bears.

We also have to guard against the nomads who are hungry and cross the sheep pen.

Everyone is willing to be a warrior but not a herdsman, and the warrior does not have to worry about food and clothing.

Qi Jiguang didn't want to fight anymore, so he had to negotiate with the Rakshasa Kingdom. He negotiated with Belisky in Tuka City, but the Tatar messenger sent was killed. There was no way, and the army attacked 200 miles westward and arrived at Xiakam City.

Continuing the negotiations, Belisky led his army away again, but the messenger did not keep up.

He attacked west for another 200 miles, and then he arrived at Kazan on the banks of the Volga River.

When we arrived in Kazan, we were about to see autumn and winter approaching. Qi Jiguang thought it was a good opportunity for negotiations and continued to send people to negotiate westwards. Nizhny Novgorod was going westwards.

At this moment, the order of the Ming army's march has changed. They could feel that they were getting closer and closer to the capital of Rakshasa Kingdom. Except for the attack of Chechen Khan of the Jin Kingdom, the main force had been replaced by the third battalion of the Zhejiang Army. The Long Live Army suppressed the troops with one hand and sent people to contact the Ottomans in the South.

However, Dong Yiyuan's mission was very difficult. His scout went to the Krim Khanate and sent more than 200 good men. In the end, less than fifty people were able to arrive at the Krim Khanate safely alive. There were even fewer people who arrived at the Ottoman through the Krim Khanate.

At least this year, I did not expect to receive food and grass assistance from the Ottomans. Instead, Krim Khan Greed II, who had been prepared for the arrival of the Eastern Ming army, sent troops north without hesitation. He was raised by the Ming army and sent envoys to demarcate the border and pay tribute to the Ming emperor.

Qi Jiguang, who was in Kazan, was a little difficult to understand the actions of the Krim Khanate, and arranged for his generals to move to the southwest to prevent the direction of the Krim Khanate's march.

Qi Jiguang could not understand why he wanted to transport grain to the Ming army, so he sent troops to advance westward, and he didn't transport any food and grass without any handing in his hand.

In the following months, the messengers communicated with each other, which made Qi Jiguang gradually become confident about Ge Laoer's intention.

This is a process of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.

Several tens of thousands of cavalry leaders from the Krim Khanate sent troops westwards, entered the Ukrainian grasslands, conquered the city of Poltava in Poland and Lithuania, plundered tens of thousands of white slaves, burned many villages, and 400 miles along the route, scorched earth was everywhere.

Then two 10,000 cavalry captains carried the plundered grain, leather and wool fabrics to the northeast, and drove the livestock team to advance towards Kazan under the guidance of the envoy.

The other ten thousand households carried the white slaves back to their Kafatao slave market and sold the white slaves stolen from the Eastern European grassland to the Ottomans of the Sect.

They have been doing this since the founding of the Krim Khanate State, but they rarely dispatched on a large scale, usually Cossacks, and nomads crossed the border alone and caught whatever they saw.

It was brought back and sold to Ottomans. Ottomans had a great demand for white slaves, which was also the main source of economic income for the Krim Khanate.

However, there are very few large-scale dispatches like this time, looting in the form of war.

In fact, to be honest, the golden lion that had left Novgorod was not miserable. If he escaped from Xia Nou City to the west, went through a lot of hardships to escape to the Eastern European grasslands, and was caught by Krim Khan's troops, and captured and sold to Ottomans as slaves, that would be really miserable.

Finally, Sutan was rewarded to Qi Jimei, the envoy of the Celestial Kingdom, and when they went out, they were called Qi's iron-core retainers. They served Qi Jiguang and Qi Jimei, and they could not help but create a good story after writing a book called "Travels of the West".

However, the real golden lion is much more unlucky than this.

He was a magnificent Ming Dynasty to conquer the Western Army and the chief of the Tatar tribe. He was actually defeated because of frostbite in Xianuo City because of frostbite in his hands and feet, and he was not even able to grab the iron rice bowl.

In the end, relying on the many brothers who supported him, he was taken over by the city consul as a patrol guard and sent a big wooden stick to him, asking him to lead someone to patrol at night.

Then he encountered the envoy of the Ming Dynasty's Western Army who called the door late at night to discuss with Belisky.
