The Hanhai Army defeated Darhan and tried his best to gather the troops. In that battle, Amir's Jenicheri was almost completely injured and killed. Amir was captured, and most of the 1,000 Bisk heavy cavalry were casualties. The rest went north and surrendered to Amin. Darhan's own thousands of tribal cavalry were light cavalry, but they were quick to see the opportunity, but about half of them were also casualties.

After this battle, the Nogai people near the Caspian Sea were greatly injured. Now, they should not say that they want to avenge the Great Xia Kingdom, there are still two tribes staring at him, the Dunhe Cossacks and the Turguts. These tribes are not good at plagues, just like lions, hyenas, and wild dogs that were injured on the grassland, and they also had to take a bite.

As for the Hanhai Army itself, the cavalry was slightly damaged, mainly because of casualties in combat with the Bisk heavy cavalry, with more than 300 casualties. According to the Hanhai Army's rules, if they are too far away from the country, those who are killed will be cremated on the spot, and those who are injured will be taken away no matter what.

Unfortunately, Luo Jizhi's brigade had to continue traveling west at this time.

He is waiting.

After the Battle of Chalizin, the forces from all sides will inevitably be alarmed.

What's more, when Darhan gathered all the Noga people of Crimea near Tarrizin, on the one hand, they could command the Cossacks of the Don River and the Turkuts in the lower reaches of the Attila River under the banner of the Russian Tsar, because the Tsarist government set up a governor in Tarrizin, and the main force was the Noga people, plus the Don River Cossacks and Turkuts who could be conscripted at any time.

During the battle of Chalizin, the Russian governor and a small number of shooting soldiers who were nesting in the castle could only guard the city gates, fearing that Han Hai's army would come to attack.

Five days later, two cavalrymen drove from the east and south of Chalijin. The number was not large, all around a thousand cavalry. One was naturally Yelu Xingliao's troops, and the other was a thousand elite Tuer soldiers brought by Pengchuk himself. Yelu Xingliao sent Yelu Taohuashi, an old acquaintance of the Hanhai Army.

Following Hanhai Army to rob the west was their only idea. Of course, they had a master on the surface. Now they could get the tribe's in charge to bring cavalry to join Hanhai Army. The meaning of "resignation" was also strong, especially the Turkuts, who had a tribe of tens of thousands of tents. At present, according to their true strength, except for the Crimean Khanate, they were the strongest.

Luo Jizhi left all the prisoners and wounded soldiers of the Hanhai Army to Pengchuk, and gave him half of the captured horses and the other half to Yelu Taohuashi. After that, the two of them still followed with about eight hundred cavalry.

"General, let me talk about the Cossacks in front of me."

In Luo Jizhi's big tent, Pengchuk took a sip of the tobacco pipe he got from Linhuang Mansion, spit out a sip of white smoke and said slowly.

Luo Jizhi observed that although this person is over thirty years old, he still seems a little loose. In addition, his father Shukuldai was still very strong in his nearly 60s, and he has many brothers. Although he is the eldest son, the Mongolians also have the tradition of "youngest son guarding the gateway". Just like Tuo Lei in his previous life, the situation is changing. When the Khan's throne really changed, several sons of Shukuldaiqing were all adults. It is still a question mark who will serve as the next Khan of the Turkut tribe at that time.

This is probably the reason why he has been a little anxious.

However, his tight face was obviously loose at the moment. His father Khan asked him to go to Linhuang Mansion to welcome the tribe to follow the nobles who practice Tibetan Buddhism with our Yabandida, so as to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens in winter. After learning that the Han Haijun was victorious in Chalijin, he sent him to show his kindness, which clearly shows the belonging of the next great khan.

Yelu Xingliao sent Taohua Stone to come here not because he might have inherited the position of the Khitan Alliance, but because his younger brother has always been walking in the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea to do business and is familiar with the people there.

Of course, maybe Yelu Taohuashi has been staying near the border between Kazakhstan and Russia without leaving. Who knows?

"I heard from people who are familiar with Russian in the tribe that the Cossacks here are divided into two branches, one branch of the Don River. Most of them were dissatisfied with the oppression of landlords in Moscow and other countries and moved their families to the lower reaches of the Don River. The Cossacks on the Dnieper River were originally farmers in the Principal of Kiev."

"Whether it is the Don River or the Dnieper River, the middle and lower reaches are suffering from the ravages of the Crimean Khanate. I heard that it has been raging for hundreds of years. There are no farmers in this area, and there are places where the Crimean cavalry can't find it easily."

"Since 20 or 30 years ago, due to the rise of Russia, the Crimean Khanate gradually declined. The plunder of the Don and Dnieper Rivers was not as frequent as before. In the lower reaches of the two rivers, some Cossacks began to farm. When the Crimeans came, they rushed into the swamp and fought with them based on the swamp. Over the past few hundred years, they had developed extraordinary cavalry skills."

"Either Poland or Russia have implemented a registration system for the Cossacks. Any registered Cossack can officially become the owner of the land after serving in the army for a period of time. Even so, most of the land there is still in Poland, and the Russian nobles are also dissatisfied with the Cossacks."

"Most of the Cossacks of the Don River were transferred to the army by Russia. In the past two years, a considerable part of the losses have been in the battle with the Your Army. In addition, young and strong people have been transferred to the northern and western borders of Russia, and there are not many Cossacks left on the Don River."

"In the lower reaches of the Don River, not far from the Black Sea, there is a place called Cherkask, which is the old nest of the Don Cossacks. All the previous Don Cossacks Gatman lived there. Today, Geitman is a man named Dmitry Racine. Dmitry is serving on the Russian border. Currently, the nominal leader of the Don Cossacks is his son, Stepan Racine, who is only sixteen years old."

"The Gateman of the Cossacks of the Dnepr is Bogdan Khmelnikki. He is an old soldier who served in the Ottomans and Poland. He is very strong and has several close friends under his command, all of whom are powerful characters. You have seen that Ivanbogon, and there is someone close to the Grand Duchy of Transylvania."

"Although they are all called Cossacks, within them, there are contradictions between the registered Cossacks and the non-registered Cossacks, and the Don Cossacks and the Dnieper Cossacks."

"Originally, the Crimean cavalry was their great enemy, and it was also the main reason why they were unable to cultivate at the moment. However, after this battle, they will definitely think about it, hehe..."

At this time, Yadan reacted. His "hey" must have a deep meaning, so he also smiled and said, "Oh? Can Taiji say it in depth?"

He knew very well that tribes like the Turkut tribe, which were lonely and in foreign lands, did not rely solely on cavalry and endless fighting to gain a foothold in the Attila River Basin, and they must have political intelligence and considerations.

"Haha," Pengchuk was unwilling to say that Yelu Taohuashi took over the conversation when he saw this. "It's nothing. The Cossacks have always wanted to establish their own country in Ukraine, but neither Poland nor Russia would agree, nor the Crimeans in the south would agree."

Yadan couldn't help but sigh, "This Cossack, in Turkic words, is a free warrior. In fact, it was taken over by all parties as cannon fodder from the borders of several countries. I guess no one has looked at them with a direct look. However, if they really made them build a country, it would not be a good thing. They are all natural warriors. If they have the support of their own powerful country, they will definitely be unstoppable."

"However, it is a good way to find a small place to stand on their own and accept the protection of the Great Xia Kingdom. These people, Cossacks, acted roughly and barbaric, were not much better than those in the forest, and had no strong belief in even the Orthodox Church, but were an easy object to control."

"But the question is again. Their languages ​​are very similar to those of Russia and Poland. They are obviously from the same race. Are they willing to accept rule from the Eastern Kingdom?"

However, when I thought of the Mongols hundreds of years ago, a smile appeared on Yadan's face. Pengchuk and Yelu Taohuashi were also surprised to see that this person with a status of Luo Jizhi and a clear Turkic bloodline did not speak for a long time.

When Luo Jizhi coughed lightly, Yadan came to his senses. He hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I was a little tired and distracted. By the way, you just talked about Shirasin, what exactly is this person?"

Taohuashi said: "This matter made Pengchuk say the best"

Ponchuk was obviously uncomfortable on his face, and after a while, he said, "Stepan Racine is his righteous brother."

After a pause, he said, "This son can ride a horse to fight at the age of thirteen. Although he is only sixteen now, his prestige in Cherkask is no less than his father. Adult Cossack men are all tough and hard to tame. Stepan can make the Cossacks in the lower reaches of the Don at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and there are some means."

If Nikan was here, he would have curled his lips, "Stepan is naturally powerful. In another twenty years, he will launch a great uprising that swept the entire Cossacks. The war even burned into the Caucasus area and involved the Persians. Can it be done if it is not powerful?"

He continued, "Stepan has another brother, who is slightly older than him, named Roll, who is already eighteen years old, but he still follows Steppan's horse."

"By the way", the face of Taohuashi appeared a kind of cunning that only Turkic people who had been doing business for a long time had. Cossacks on his fat face made people feel a little disgusted, "There was something wrong with the Cossacks in the Dnieper River. God really helped me."

"Oh?", Yadan, Luo Jizhi, and Pengchuk were all attracted by his words, especially Pengchuk. His tribe was closest to Cossack and he didn't get this news. How could he feel?

"What happened to the Cossack in Zaporozen Gaitman Bogdan!"

"ah?"

"Haha", he still looked leisurely, but Luo Jizhi was very anxious. He had to go through the area controlled by the Cossacks in front of him. If he didn't find out clearly, he would fight like he did a few days ago, and when would he arrive at the Grand Duchy?

"It's like this." Peach Blossom Stone is still slow. "I'm talking about Cossacks here, as if they are so powerful. In fact, in the eyes of Polish and Russian nobles, they are just slaves and cannon fodders."

"Just a month ago, Geitmann Khmelnikki in the Dnieper River suffered a disaster. He had a conflict with a small Polish nobleman. Unexpectedly, the Polish nobleman actually brought people to destroy Khmelnikki's manor, beat his son to death, and robbed his fiancée. Khmelnikki ran to the capital of Poland to file a lawsuit, but ended up being discriminated against, ignored him, and was imprisoned."

"Everyone, Khmelnikki is the leader of the Dnepr Cossacks. He has at least ten Cossack centuries under his command to follow his horse. He is the best in the grassland Cossacks. Even such a person can only crawl at the feet of Poland and Russian nobles."

Luo Jizhi was shocked when he heard this.

Before he left, Nikan had said such words to him, but he didn't care much at that time. Now it seems that His Majesty is really foresighted.

"Dingyuan, Cossacks, Khmelnikki is the strongest, but the Polish nobles have slaughtered them very much. They are for the time being. If there is a fuse, it will definitely ignite the entire Cossack grassland! Remember, if this really happens, you can do this..."

That's because Nikan knew the Khmelniksky uprising in history, but did not know the specific year, so there is this saying.
Chapter completed!
