Ling Chen quietly looked at the battle ahead.
now.
The process of conquering the Kokand Khanate has reached its final climax.
There was heavy artillery fire, debris everywhere, and rivers of blood.
Ling Chen had forgotten how much manpower and material resources they had spent on attacking the last city of the Haokand Khanate.
This Alimu still has something.
He knew that once Ling Chen captured the city, he would really lose everything he had in Central Asia.
withstand!
He gathered the strength of the whole country to defend this last city!
All the countries in Central Asia are also watching with trepidation at this time.
Whether the Kokand Khanate can withstand this will directly affect the pattern of the entire Central Asia.
This "East India" company from Long Yan is really too powerful.
From the moment they decided to attack the Kokand Khanate, they were almost devastating and no one could stop them.
certainly.
There was no one to block it.
After all, in Central Asia, several small countries used to belong to the same family. Everyone is displeased with it. The East India Company is aggressively conquering the country, and none of their other countries are willing to help the Kokand Khanate. It is almost adding insult to injury...
For example, in the Putu Dynasty, Omar provided Ling Chen with all kinds of logistical support.
He seems to have become the East India Company's number one henchman.
Share the cake.
At this time, almost no one is willing to consider what will happen when the East India Company really takes control of Central Asia, because all they see are immediate interests...
Dry.
Follow Ling Chen!
Rumble.
Rumble.
Omar, while starting to plant poppies on a large scale in his own country, followed Ling Chen and waited here to share the cake.
Khiva Khanate, same thing.
Everyone is waiting to see Long Yanren beat up the drowned dog...
This is an absolutely fierce battle.
This was a tough battle that lasted more than two months.
During this period of time, it rained for the first time in Central Asia.
The battle became more difficult.
"How much food and grass has this bastard Alimu hidden in the city?"
The generals on Ling Chen's side were all yelling curses.
Fighting in such bad weather is a bit too disadvantageous for the siege party.
Artillery fire will be greatly affected...
Ling Chen said with a cold face: "No matter how much it is, sooner or later it will be exhausted. There are 200,000 troops and one million people in the city!"
1.2 million people!
Countless amounts of food and grass are consumed every day.
According to the normal consumption rate, the food inside can only last three months! But now, they have been besieging the city for two months... In other words, in another month, the city will be completely without food.
The Kokand Khanate was the first target of the East India Company.
Because this country now controls all the ports on the Caspian Sea.
Want to develop trade...
These ports must be taken!
Ling Chen has now contacted Silver Beach City again. And it has also cooperated with them as the "East India Company".
Yes.
This time it's a collaboration.
Instead of completely serving Liu Zheng.
This is also what Liu Zheng thinks.
If you want a horse to run, you have to let it eat grass.
In his vision, the East India Company itself should have a cooperative relationship with Liangzhou. Just like the East India in the previous life, they are just a royal business group under the Queen of England...
Their purpose is clear.
It's colonization.
colonial.
Recolonization.
A company must have a clear division of labor so that the work can be done perfectly.
This is how the company is managed.
This was Liu Zheng's idea of handing over the East India Company to Ling Chen with peace of mind.
Ling Chen has enough ambitions and now has strong military strength.
"East India" is also an existence separated from Long Yan.
In this way, no matter how much land Ling Chen occupied, Long Yan would not have to bear anything in terms of logic. But Liangzhou and Longyan can also share a lot of the benefits generated by these colonies... Similarly, Ling Chen and the 300,000 troops can also share a lot of wealth.
This is a win-win situation.
Liu Zheng has always believed that one person cannot make all the money in this world.
Only by working together can benefits be maximized.
"beat!"
"Continue the attack!"
Another wave of charges.
These people from the Western Region Construction Corps are also very energetic in fighting. Because they know that they are no longer simply people with military pay... but people who can pay dividends in this company, they are shareholders!
As long as the Kokand Khanate is captured...
Each of them can get at least five hundred taels of gold in dividends!
Get rich overnight!
Fight for wealth!
This should be the most primitive element of war.
The army rushed to the city gate again.
The drums are beating and the bugles are blowing.
Everyone waved their weapons, and their horses galloped across the plains.
kill!
For wealth!
For Long Yan!
Likewise, for glory!
…
"Where's the food and grass? Where's the food and grass? Huh? Didn't it say it could last three months? Why did it disappear so quickly?"
at this time.
Alimu, who was in the city of Kokand, was already in a very bad condition, and he roared with a livid face.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
"Khan, it has been raining continuously these past few days, and a lot of grain and grass have become moldy, causing a lot of losses..."
"Trash, it's all trash!"
Central Asia has been a dry land since ancient times. Where have we seen such continuous rain? Therefore, there are basically no moisture-proof measures. The rainy day had an impact on the attacking party, but it also caused their food to begin to be eroded...
"It must be resisted. If the moldy ones are treated, they can be eaten! Why can't they be eaten? Give them to the common people!"
Alimu, with cold eyes, made the most helpless but regrettable decision in his life.
"Khan..."
"this……"
"Khan..."
A group of people wanted to persuade.
But there is no way.
Who says there is not enough food to eat?
The soldiers who were guarding the city couldn't afford to supply the food and grass that was so tight. Who could take care of the people? However, there are too many people...
Moreover, the Kokand Khanate at this time was still a Turkic country.
They did not introduce Islam.
At this time, their people still retained the bloodiness and violence of the former prairie people.
When some people saw the food that was soaked and moldy in the rain, they suddenly became furious.
Khan what does this mean?
It's not possible to fight a war.
Exploitation can be exploited.
As a result, they were beaten to the city gate and no food and grass were given to them?
Forget about the soaring food prices in the city.
The food you spent so much gold and silver on is actually moldy?
all of a sudden.
The city of Haohan fell into chaos in an instant.
