Chapter 80: The battle of rise and death, the virtuous concubine's six strategies to solve the crisis
It's night, Zhao Jin sleeps alone. I was full of the need to send troops to Rostov and beware of the sea capital. I tossing and thinking more in my heart.
In the four battles of Yan and Han, garrisons are indispensable, and mobile forces are stretched out. 30,000 regular troops and 20,000 militiamen in Beijing are not enough to fight the Principality of Rostov - they are afraid of a full-scale war with the Grand Duchy of Kiev, which has hundreds of thousands of troops; what's more, they will face the invasion of Haidu!
It is not known how many troops the Haidu Khanate has. Zhao Jin is familiar with history. According to historical records, there was a big country in Central Asia, with 400,000 troops and 100,000 soldiers destroyed by Genghis Khan. Nowadays, the territory of the Haidu Khanate exceeds that of Hua Zimo. It is really necessary to recruit hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
In the face of such a strong enemy, it makes people sweat. However, according to the report, the Yuan Dynasty has changed its offensive to defense against the Haidu Khanate, and the pressure on the Haidu Khanate has been greatly reduced. Under such a *, it is logical for Haidu to attack Yan Han. Even if not, Li Hua really told him that Zhao Yu would also strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Zhendong Governor's Office and be moreware of Haidu.
As for the fact that the spies have long reported that Hai is going to fight against India and Delhi, Zhao Jin can be said to be in conflict with this. I hope that Haidu will fight against India and not Yan Han; but if Haidu annexes India and his strength is strong, Yan Han will be even more troublesome!
Yan Han himself must step up its expansion! If you don't hurry to expand your strength, it is equivalent to sitting and waiting for death. However, the only direction that can be expanded at present is the Duchy of Rostov. To the east is the sea capital; to the south is the Caucasus countries with dangerous terrain and lack of oil and water; to the south is Illi, which is also quite strong and stable; to the southwest is the Principality of Rostov. On the west is the Principality of Ordisco. In the northwest is the emerging Duchy of Moscow and the Duchy of Novgorod, the second largest country in East Slavs, with 100,000 troops. Further away, there is the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
Thinking of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Zhao Jin couldn't help smiling. Historically, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was also a hero and was once quite powerful. Because Lithuanians are neither East Slavs nor Germans, they are their own people; their beliefs are neither Orthodox nor Catholic, but polytheistic; so they fought with the East Slavic countries and the Catholic Teutonic Knights in the west. Under such circumstances, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania can become more and more brave, and even capture Kiev and reach the peak of national prestige! The largest territory reached one million square kilometers, ranking first in Europe at that time. There are more than 4 million people, which are also among the top in Europe, but Lithuanians only account for more than 10%, and the rest are mostly East Slavs and West Slavs. Later, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the expanding Grand Duchy of Moscow repeatedly fought for hundreds of years. Finally, under the two major pressures of Russia in the east and Prussia in the west, Lithuania chose to form an alliance with Poland. The Grand Duke of Lithuania married the Queen of Poland and became the same family. This is over. Lithuania, which was originally a strong plagiarism, was bound to Poland, which is rich in democratic traditions and lacks pragmatism, and is doomed to decline... In modern times, Lithuania has only more than 60,000 square kilometers of territory and has become a small state.
For good, Lithuania in this era is still in the stage of "bult". Since the founding monarch Mendorf in 1230, both generations of monarchs have tried their best to develop. Today, in Eastern Europe, Lithuania has stood side by side with the Grand Duchy of Kiev and the Principality of Novgorod. The current monarch, Teota, is as capable and ambitious as Mindov, but he also has the same problem as Mindovge - suspicious and suspicious. In his later years, Mingdorf was extremely untrusted by his nephew, but provoked his nephew to rebel and was killed and seized by his son Teiota. Instead of taking the lessons of the previous car and treating his nephew, he was more suspicious, lest they would follow the example, so he deprived his nephew of his son's military power one after another, intending to make his daughter the Grand Duke. Only daughter can be trusted.
However, several daughters are not at peace, and it is very problematic to establish who. Until now, Teiota is too old to bite his beloved raw meat, and the problem of his heirs is still unsolved. Nowadays, Teiota can only eat cooked meat that he thinks is tasteless and hates. Maybe that's why he is getting more and more irritable.
Under such circumstances, Utita, who was released by Zhao Zhen and returned to China, gave full play to her advantages and was deeply loved by her uncle. What are her advantages? That is, when I was in the Han Palace, I learned rich and varied cooking methods. At that time, Zhao Jin deliberately wanted to bully Uttita and force her to cook, which made her delicate and arrogant. Unexpectedly, Utita has a talent for cooking and has learned quite well. Back to China, Utita, with various Chinese diets, served Grand Duke Teota, who only ate butter bread and raw meat all his life, to make Longyan happy... Ah, no, Longyan refers to the emperor of China. Since Teota is not Chinese, Longyan can't describe it.
Teniota is very happy and spoils Utita more. She relies on her to make food for herself every day. After a while, something happened, which made Teota's trust in Utita to the extreme!
That's - Utita's husband Kurefaru's rebellion! Utita announced it to the big public as soon as possible. Teota is furious! So he personally led the army, and the old man arrested Kurefaru, executed him and cut his head.
In fact, Kurepharu is drunk and complaining randomly, saying 'I'm going to kill the Grand Duke', maybe it's just drunken madness. However, whether it's true or not, Utita has no love for Kurefaru and just wants to get rid of him!
This is the horror of women. At the time of marriage, Utita originally admired the husband very much, liked his bravery, liked his confusion, liked him recklessly ** himself, liked him... In short, there was nothing to dislike. Unexpectedly, time passed quickly. Because Kurefaru was drunk in the new city, he could not protect Utita, and Utita was extremely disappointed with him. After returning home, Utita was even more disgusted with her husband and finally sent him to hell!
After this incident, Utita was more trusted by the Grand Duke. Tenita felt that Utita really loved himself. Not only did he cook food with his own hands every day, but even when his husband wanted to rebel, he felt that his uncle was more important than his husband! How can such a good niece not be treated twice as preferentially?
Since then, Utita has become the first celebrity around Teiota. The Grand Duke has a bad temper and often kills people. Many generals are very afraid of it and all like Utita. They begged Utita to say good words once the Grand Duke was angry with them. The grand duchy may not listen to the words of the daughters of the grand duchy; the grand duchy must listen to the words of Utita.
Therefore, Utita has an excellent relationship with the Lithuanian generals. She is now a widow. She is young, beautiful and charming. In Vilno, the capital of Lithuania, idle dans love her and keep being seduced. But Utita likes Kong Wu's powerful generals and doesn't like dboys. Although the dung bers coveted Utita, they did not dare to invade her - who dared to invade her was afraid that they would be cut off by the generals immediately. The generals are eager to find an opportunity to please her and protect her desperately! Although the generals also coveted Utita, they did not dare to go to her bed - they were afraid that in case she fell in love with her and became her husband, they might be executed by the Grand Duke!
So Utita is widowed. In addition to occasionally sneaking around with one or two people who are not afraid of death, it is to miss a general. This general is now the king. He is very savage, powerful and powerful. Utita tasted all his bitterness and sweetness and never forgot him. She quietly entrusted someone to give him a gift.
A king was surprised to receive a gift from Utita. Unexpectedly, I thought that you were affectionate and righteous, so I sent someone to return the gift. Of course, for the sake of being right, it is said to be a gift to the Grand Duke of Lithuania and a gift to Utita. Utita returned the gift again. A king gave a gift again. In this way, the exchange is endless.
So now, through this friendly relationship, Lithuania has become a chess piece that is currently available. In this crisis, any useful chess piece must be used. Zhao Jin thought deeply about whether he could contain the Grand Duchy of Kiev from behind through Lithuania, so that Yan Han's attack on the Duchy of Rostov could proceed smoothly.
