Chapter 126: The Purpose of War


"So, what are we going to do?"

Selile asked. otbnkotgt After understanding that the Khanate had no way, no need, no need, and no way to conquer the entire human world, he urgently wanted to get a more correct, practical, and credible set of national strategies to supplement it.

He is close to a broken outlook on life.

And the only one who can satisfy his need is Sarida Khan.

"It is to maintain advantages."

Sarida Khan said: "Maintain relative and absolute advantages over other countries.

We must choose our opponents carefully and wage war carefully.

Never start a dispute out of dignity or unrealistic ambitions.

We must remain rational and expand our land step by step and slowly.

To the outside world, create an impression that the Tartariya Khanate has a strong military.

To deter enemies at home and abroad.

Our goal is not to completely defeat or completely annex the human world.

Our goal is to gradually weaken the opponent by taking the initiative again and again in my war.

We can also use diplomacy and espionage to instigate civil strife in human countries.

Create opportunities for ourselves.

We must view expansion with caution.

Each expansion must increase the power of the Khanate.

This concept of enhancement is relatively broad.

Either property, strategic value, manpower, or strategic materials.

We must not launch a war to seize some land that is dispensable to us, or even harmful and useless, simply because we are greedy for territorial growth.

I never expected to be a conqueror, or a so-called great emperor who made his name in history by annexing countless territories, but destroyed the foundation of Tartaria.

I will not expect to complete in my lifetime what will take a hundred or even hundreds of years to complete.

I only hope that under this dynamic, energetic, cautious and steady aggressive policy, the Tartariya Khanate can maintain its advantages for a long time.

Under my rule, the Khanate will be a positive, accomplished, and powerful nation.

This is my realization, my son.

Do you understand?"

"I understand."

Selilei admired Salida Khan.

"Very good, very good."

After confirming that his son really understood what he said, Sarida Khan nodded with satisfaction.

Similar conversations were held with several of his other sons.

Sarida Khan hoped to use this method to select a successor who satisfied him and could continue to implement his policies.

It's just that things aren't going as well as they should.

Most of his descendants cannot understand his thoughts.

Some people were confused when they heard it, and some people agreed on the surface but disagreed in their hearts.

Others objected outright and explicitly.

Therefore, Salida Khan was very afraid of his own death.

It was not death itself that he feared.

But after his death, the Tartariya Khanate fell into an all-out war with the human world because there was no suitable successor.

Eventually it was destroyed as mentioned above.

This was what he truly feared.

Fortunately, at least, at least, Selilei, this dishonorable son born from a human concubine, still has some understanding.

"Then what we have to do next is to do our best to train him into an heir that satisfies me."

Sarida Khan thought in his heart.

That's it.

After another battle with the Ottoman Empire in the south, the centaurs of Tartaria, who had been recuperating for a year, healed their wounds.

He cheered up again and set his sights on the human world northwest of the Khanate. winter.

William has not been in good spirits recently.

Whether it was eating or spending leisure time with Shalumi, he seemed to be absent-minded.

Shalumi complained several times because of this.

But I couldn’t really say anything to him.

Because Shalumi also knows that next, for the Hereford family and the Grand Duchy of Mazovia.

It is even said that something very important to the entire human world is about to happen.

Through various channels such as merchants, intelligence officers, and traveling travelers, more and more news has proven that the Tartariya Khanate is actively dispatching troops and collecting supplies.

And looking at the direction of their army deployment, one can easily conclude that the centaurs of Tartaria are going to set foot in the human world again.

A new round of centaur nomadic conquests is about to begin.

In this epic war that is about to begin, the three countries of Mazovia, Ruthenia, and Perm will bear the brunt.

As a member of the Grand Duchy of Mazovia, the Hereford family bore the brunt.

In this case, it is no wonder that William is thoughtful.

In fact, he is already doing well.

Many Mazovia nobles cried and wet their pants after hearing the news of the Centaur Khanate's invasion.

Many people with connections quickly ran away.

Those who have no means can live in panic.

It can be said to be full of ugliness.

The vast majority of people have no confidence in the war that is about to begin.

Even William.

William was not so arrogant that he thought that with his five thousand new troops alone, he could stop tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of nomadic cavalry.

What he hopes most now is that the human world can take this matter seriously.

It would be best to form a broad alliance against the centaurs of Tartaria as before.

Even forming a crusade in the name of religion, race and plunder.

It's just a pity that this expectation is very difficult.

In the name of his father, Otto, the freshly minted Duke of Mystia.

William sent letters to all the Ostrogothic kingdoms, and even to the Visigoths, Asturias and Britons.

But I got very few replies.

The other kingdoms are relatively far away, so forget it.

The only thing related to Tartaria, the kings of the Ostrogothic Empire, which borders a huge area, are currently involved in a succession war, and the princes from all walks of life are fighting together in a mess.

Mazovia's request for help can be said to be helpless.

The letter sent to the Roman Pope in Lombardy received a more positive response.

Pope Pius IV, the Archbishop of Krakow, the Grand Duke of Mazovia, the Duke of Mystia and others sent envoys and letters one after another.

He also tried to call on all the countries in the human world to fight against the pagans.

It's just a pity.

After many religious wars, expansion of imperial power, and the Industrial Revolution, the power of the Church of the Lord of Radiance and its influence on all human kingdoms have dropped to a very low level.

In response to Pius IV's call, all the kings were extremely perfunctory.

No clear information was given.

In this case, the only ones interested in sending soldiers to Mazovia were the other three Grand Duchys that had split off from the Kingdom of Wende.

Like Mazovia, they are on the front line against the Centaurs.

The Grand Duchy of Turov in the south of Mazovia, like Mazovia, has a large border with Tartaria.

The two sides quickly reached an agreement, and the current patriarch of the Vladimirovich family in Turov, who was also the Grand Duke of Turov, Vialcheslav, quickly formed an alliance with Trieste in Mazovia.

Of course, when both sides have insufficient troops and cannot protect themselves, this alliance is basically of little use.

What they can really rely on is Shilonsk, which is located further to the west and Livonia in the northwest, which are not bordering Tartaria for the time being.

These two grand duchies can really send troops, help, and even save Mazovi.

Ya's choice.

Moreover, it is different from Mazovia and Turov, which are relatively dilapidated and sparsely populated.

Livonia, with its extensive Polotsk coastline, is very good at maritime trade.

Shilonsk, with its large population and fertile soil, has a developed textile industry.

Its textile industry even accounted for half of the market share of the Ostrogothic Empire at one time.

The foundations of these two countries are very good.

The military strength is naturally not bad either.

Especially the Principality of Shilonsk.

If fully mobilized, at least 20,000 troops could be drawn out.

If these two countries come to their aid, let alone defeat Tartaria.

At least the defense is okay.

Originally, William thought that at this time of crisis, the two grand duchies would be unconditional and quickly send troops to help.

But William obviously overestimated their IQ and the lower limit of their moral integrity.

Henry, the Grand Duke of Shilonsk of Trieste, who had the same clan and surname as Grand Duke Leszek of Mazovia, and who was also of Trieste, agreed to Leszek's request for help.

In this era where relations between relatives and in-laws are relatively reliable.

Henry was duty-bound.

However, Henry had a request for this.

That is to ask Grand Duke Leszek and Grand Duke Vial of Turov to support becoming the new King of Wende and become his vassals.

In addition, Dietrich von Groningen, who controlled Livonia, refused to send reinforcements to Mazovia and Turov after hearing about Archduke Shilonsk's request.

This guy also wants to be King Wende.

There is only one king's throne.

If you choose Henry, there will be no more problems with Dietrich.

Therefore, Archduke Dietrich also followed suit and sent letters to Leszek of Mazovia and Vyard of Turov.

Ask them to support him to become King Wende.

Otherwise, reinforcements will not be given In this messy situation, Turov made another mistake.

There is news that Grand Duke Vyal of Turov wants to find the Tartariya Khanate to surrender.

I don’t know whether this news is true or false.

But one thing is certain.

It was Vial who said that neither Shilonsk nor Livonia could take advantage of someone's danger to force him to stand in line and pledge allegiance.

Whether reinforcements come or not, he will not accept threats even if he dies in battle. 160420oshow7:
