Chapter 93: It's hard for me to go to the Strait, but the fire platform comes

Lithua has taken down the three major border towns of the Principality of Kiev and was almost satisfied. Knowing that Moscow was coming, Grand Duke Teiota hurriedly led the main force back to resist. The Kiev army was demoralized and unwilling to fight again for a while. Minsk, Pingsk and Brest were occupied by Lithuania.

The Lithuanian army fought against the Moscow army. Daniel deliberately defeated the Moscow army and retreated into Smolensk. The Lithuanian army chased after him. The Principality of Smolensk was so frightened that the Lithuanian army would take advantage of the situation to occupy the country and have to send troops to resist. Under the brave resistance of the Smolensk army, the Lithuanian army, which had been fighting for a long time, could not win. The elderly Grand Duke Teota couldn't stand it and didn't want to fight any more. The generals were also eager to return to China to receive the reward of Miss Utita, so they withdrew their troops. The Moscow army took advantage of the situation to pursue the Lithuanian army, fought a few small battles, won some nominal victories, and claimed that it was a great victory and ended its victory.

The war has come to an end. The Grand Duchy of Lithuania occupied three major towns, and the country was stronger. The Grand Duchy of Kiev lost three major towns and cut off the city of Vladimir, which was extremely unlucky. The Principality of Smolensk has paid a lot of lives and weakened its national strength. The Duchy of Moscow pretended to send troops and lost little. It got the city of Vladimir, and had the reputation of successfully fulfilling its promise, defeating Lithuania and saving Kiev... It really made a lot of money!

It was a surprise for Daniel to take the city of Vladimir. After picking up such a big bargain, the Duchy of Moscow will continue to attack the north.

Because the Grand Duchy of Novgorod and the Duchy of Moscow have no intention to attack the northern Xinjiang of Yanhan for the time being, the Northern Governor's Office of Yanhan Town was fine for a while. Immigrants from Fuxi and Fudong regions reploughed a large area of land that was desolate due to the chaos in northern Xinjiang. The defenders also actively camped the fields. Since then, Kazhou and Baozhou have become the export areas of Yanhan's grain and grass, with a large surplus of grain and grass every year, as well as rich catches and animal husbandry products, which are shipped to Sazhou, Mingzhou and other agricultural and sideline product processing centers for processing, storage and distribution.

Let's talk about the town's west governor's office. The town's western governorate is responsible for guarding the Fuxi region. The neighboring foreign countries mainly include these from north to south: the Principality of Moscow, the Principality of Kimoldysko, the Grand Duchy of Kiev, and the Duchy of Donets.

The current relationship between the Principality of King Ordisco and Yanhan is quite friendly. Grand Duchess Taydure hated Daniel, only because Danil used tricks to make his lords defect, which led to his great defeat and the loss of a lot of land. Although Yan Han also defeated himself, it was due to his misunderstanding, and he did not take advantage of himself at all and did not cut an inch of land. In this way, Taydul, who is very simple in heart, regards Moscow as the number one enemy and Yanhan as a friendly country. Yan Han has given many gifts to Kim Ordisco, including a batch of iron weapons. Taydul likes this kind of gift the most. Unconsciously, he has become a vassal state of Yan Han.

The East Slavs are divided into many ethnic groups, and the Kimoldisco and the Moscotes belong to the same ethnic group. So, isn't it stupid for Tadu to be listed as a foreigner and hostile to his peers? That's nothing. In modern times, there is a very similar example, that is, Taiwan, China, has enlisted mainland China for the sake of the United States, but isn't it true that it is hostile to foreigners? A Taiwanese celebrity surnamed Li published an article. Although it was a joke, it hit the nail on the head, saying: "In order to deal with the enemy, the United States has raised many dogs. As long as you pay for dog food, these dogs will help the United States bite people. For example, in order to deal with the Arabs, the United States has raised Israel and has been giving Israel a lot of assistance. Whenever Israel is in trouble, it will ask the United States for money. Taiwan is also an American dog, but the difference is that it is a good dog that does not need to pay for the owner to raise it. It is a good dog with its own dog food."

Samely, Yan Han supported King Ordisco in order to contain Moscow. Of course, he also had to give benefits to make him more powerful against Moscow. This is politics.

As for destroying the Duchy of Rostov without killing Grand Duke Konstantin, it has three purposes: First, in order to pacify the whole territory of Rostov faster. At that time, if it hadn't been for this, Ijynmsky, Zapolov and others would have been afraid of stubborn resistance to the end. If the Han army could not settle Rostov as soon as possible, they would not have taken time to deal with Georgia, which may even cause the intervention of Illi and other countries. II. In order to decorate the reason for the war of "the crime of hanging the people", it is better explained to the Byzantine Empire and the East Slavic countries. 3. The Duchy of Donetsk can be used as a buffer between Yanhan and Kiev, so as to avoid a large area of direct bordering.

In this way, the governor's office in the west of the town is basically fine. Let's take a look at the town's southern governor's office.

There are a lot of things in the Zhennan Governor's Office. Across the Black Sea to the west is the famous Crimean Peninsula. There is only one extremely narrow isthmus between the Crimean Peninsula and the European continent, which is geographically independent. After the Dongsi coalition counterattacked the Tatar, some Tatarians fled here and established the Crimean Khanate, controlling the whole peninsula and a piece of land north of the peninsula. Although this Khanate is small, it cannot be ignored. The land under its control has a Mediterranean climate, which is warm and humid. Kerm Mountain on the peninsula is rich in wood and high-grade iron ore. And there are many good ports on the coast of the peninsula. Such unique conditions make the peninsula always a must-have place for soldiers.

After Zhao Jin's southern expedition and led his army back along the coast of the Black Sea, he specially took a group of followers to the Kerch Strait to look at the Kerm Peninsula. On that day, the weather was sunny, and across the extremely narrow strait only a few kilometers wide, the opposite land was vivid, as if it could jump over with a horse. It happened that a group of riders from the Crimean Khanate also roared over there, with a strong momentum. The two sides looked at each other for a while, and then the horses swung back and there, as if there was ridicule, and the shouting sound was faint. He Pan and Ganba, who followed Zhao Jin, were furious and cursed there. Zhao Jin couldn't help laughing and said, "You save energy. We just came to see the sea view, not to fight with others." He Pan and Ganba just closed their mouths. Zhao Jin looked at the scenery for a while, took out his binoculars, looked far away, and found the ancient city of Kerch. Kerch is a famous historical city, and it was the capital of the Kingdom of Bosphorus as early as the fifth century BC. The horse on the opposite side is likely to come out of the city.

Zhao looked at it for a while and sighed, "People's hearts are really insatiable, both Long and Shu!" I just calmed down here and saw that the land opposite was good, so I couldn't help but want it again!"

He Pan was astrated and said, "If you want to, why not?"

Gamba took a moment to the ground, smashed a sand pit heavily, and shouted, "You can quickly call the Fubo and the cross-sea one. When the ship comes over, I will come over and flatten the man!"

"Hahahaha!" Zhao Jin laughed and thought that these two were simple-minded. How could he tell them? It may be possible to cross the sea and attack the city, but how to defend it after the attack? Very difficult! At this stage, there is no need to provoke the Tatarians in Crimea. On the contrary, there is no need to find a way for them to contain the Grand Duchy of Kiev. Naturally, I don't understand these strategies, so I don't have to talk to them more.

Note:

Krim Peninsula: also known as Crimean Peninsula, with rich resources and beautiful scenery. Human beings have existed for a long time, with a history of 3,000 years of civilization, and have changed hands among many countries and nations. It is now the Republic of Crimea, and its capital is Simferopol. There are many excellent ports. Sevastopol, the most important military port of the former Soviet Union, is located in the southwest of the peninsula, where China's first aircraft carrier (the former Soviet heritage Varyag bought from Ukraine) was built. In addition, there are Yalta (where the Yalta Conference, which concluded the new world order at the end of World War II), Kerch (the sea of Azov), Feodoria, Yevpatoria and so on. Due to the importance of the Crimean Peninsula, the Russians after the collapse of the Soviet Union were very annoyed by the former Soviet leader Khrushchev's move to Ukraine, and so far there have been calls for the return of the Crimean Peninsula to Russia. Ukrainians naturally don't want to. This dispute continues. By the way, the Crimean Khanate was powerful in the 15th century, constantly encroached on Russian countries such as the Grand Duchy of Moscow and plundered women and sold them to Ottoman Turkey. This matter is notorious. In modern Western famous paintings, there are many works depicting the life of the Turkish court, and the maids in it often have the appearance characteristics of Russian beauties.
