Conquer the Dawn of Heaven

Chakaran Valley, Northern Bosnia.

Chakaland is a place in Bosnia adjacent to the Principality of Kanyola in the north. The whole valley has a long and narrow terrain, which is a sharp contrast between the mountainous terrain of the northern origin of the Balkan Mountains and the low and rugged valleys of the valley. .

The large mountain area that runs between the two countries is divided by the tens of miles of Chacaran. The northern foot of the mountain belongs to Caniola, while the southern foot belongs to Bosnia.

In a slightly wider basin in a valley near Bosnia, there is a small town. Like most cities in northern Bosnia, this small town called Sie is not large in size and appears to be very depressed.

This was not the case in the city of Siya, because it was adjacent to the northern countries and was on the main road of communication.

The noble messengers from Western Europe and the wealthy merchants used to be regulars here, but since the Ottomans conquered Bosnia, everything has changed.

The connection with the inland Europe seems to be completely cut off at once. Bosnia is full of Ottoman iron rides, and this has become the conquered land.

More and more people are fleeing from the occupied south to the north, and the local nobles actively recruit mercenaries and farmers to join their army, preparing to retake their country in a desperate battle with the Ottomans.

Only in the face of the incredible force of the Ottomans, even the Balkan farmers who were famous for their sturdiness, were defeated by Mohammed II.

But the Balkan mountain people also let the Ottomans see what is called the fierce tenacity and rebelliousness of the mountain people.

After several consecutive defeats that cost the Ottomans a huge price, Mohammed II, who was so young and energetic at that time, was obviously not as energetic as before, and finally realized that it seemed that he wanted to swallow this land completely. Is not very realistic.

The "conqueror" conquered the land, and gave the successor the task of stabilizing and thoroughly domesticating the people on the land.

The North Bosnian people paid a bitter price to revolt. The Ottomans' conquest was temporarily stopped on the south bank of the Naousawa River, and the situation of the confrontation between the two sides across the river was roughly determined.

As a result of negotiations, the northern Bosniacs accepted the helpless reality that the Ottoman Sultan was their monarch. However, compared with the completely conquered and occupied South, northern Bosnia is much freer and can pay more.

The conquered southern Bosnia is prohibited from transporting any materials to the north, and it also prohibits the northerners from holding any positions in the conquered land. Although a paper agreement makes the two sides seem to be a truce, Sudan has never stopped After the invasion of the north, the Bosniacs who had been exiled to the north never gave up hope to restore their homeland.

The nobles who fled to the north sent many emissaries to European countries and the Vatican, but the result was repeated disappointments. Although the courts of Western Europe were worried about the invasion of the Ottoman Empire, their requests to send troops to assist Bosnia were repeatedly rejected. .

Even Poland and Hungary, which are more directly threatened, seem to have little interest in liberating the Balkans. They are more concerned with protecting their country from threats.

The North Bosnians were disappointed with Europe, while the South Bosniacs were equally disappointed with the nobles who abandoned them and fled to the north.

At the same time, the Ottomans have gradually shown their power in suppressing the North, because of the lack of communication with the South, and the Europeans are worried that the war may make their investment nowhere. An increasingly slack environment has made North Bosnia 'S economy was hit hard.

Just like the city of Siye, the original wealth has long disappeared, and many people have become destitute because of unemployment, especially since Bayesite II ascended the throne more than ten years ago, this Sudan may be conquering and expanding. Not as great as his father, but he has great control over the occupied area. Mohammed II is much stronger than just expanding the territory, but it is inevitable that sometimes eating too much and too fast to digest.

Against the already conquered southern Bosnia, Bayesert II adopted a series of powerful rules. While strengthening the **** means, the Sudan subtly divided the conquered, and he gave certain status to the local nobles who were willing to submit to themselves. And power, and allow their children to inherit their status, and he forced all families to send their young sons to the Ottomans in paramilitary villages set up in various places for centralized training, and to allow them to accept new beliefs from an early age. At the same time, they are forced to accept various military trainings as an important source of troops for the Sudanese army in the future.

But in Northern Bosnia, Bayeste also had no soft hands. His messengers frequently crossed the Naousawa River and appeared between numerous exiles and local nobles. In addition to various promises to raise peace, more was to provoke those nobles. Relationship.

This series of tactics in Sudan is obviously quite effective. The originally united northern nobles have gradually cracked, especially with the passage of time, finally realizing that it is unlikely to receive support from Europe. Both the exiles and the local nobles face confusion as to where to go.

An old man was sitting on a horse-drawn carriage bumping forward in the snow, and behind him a woman with a thick shawl on her head looked dullly at the passing trees.

The old man looked back from time to time on the woman in the car behind him, showing a satisfied and slightly obscene smile.

This woman was selected by the refugees who fled from the south. Although the Ottoman intimidation made life in the north more and more difficult, it is still more tolerable than the south.

The Ottoman rule is cruel. Even though the Sultan himself has a good reputation for benevolence, his Pashas are more terrifying than the other. In addition to resolutely fulfilling Sudan ’s various ruling strategies, these people also have various clever names and even Simply robbing the Bosnian wealth in a nameless way.

As a result, many families have broken their families, and more people who have no way out can only find their way out of their hometowns.

Although the north is equally turbulent, it is still a Bosnian territory. After all, civilians with this idea have taken their families to find a way out of the north. This has brought a large population to the north, but it has also brought a huge burden.

The large number of refugees made many nobles tireless, and their joy gradually turned into disgust and hostility. Later, many nobles have banned refugees from entering their territory. Unauthorized intrusions will not only be driven out, but may even be driven. Was killed.

Refugees can only wander from one noble's territory to another noble's territory again and again, but most of their experiences are the same.

Few people are willing to accept them, even if they are barely encountering some rare kind-hearted masters, fortunately, there are a few who can be admitted, and those nobles value the young and strong men and women, and most people are still Refuse to be out.

There are so many things, and the refugees are completely disappointed with those nobles. They are wandering aimlessly in the unfamiliar land in the north, hoping to have good luck.

Under the hunger and cold, some people started the idea of ​​local civilians, and women began quietly knocking on the door of a household. If they could be accommodated, these women would leave the wandering line and stay, but most of this They are widows or a few unmarried women who have lost their loved ones, but young women with husbands or unmarried women can only follow the family to continue the wandering that seems to never end.

The carriage was running non-stop on the snow. The old man looked back at the woman in the car. He was not worried about the woman running away. Where could she escape? She seemed hungry for a few days when she saw her. So just a little food made the woman obediently get on his carriage.

"It's actually very good here," said the woman behind him while catching the old man. "Be aware that before the Ottomans came, this place can be said to be full of gold. Many people have made a fortune. The nobles are also kind. , But now the Ottomans have made us suffer, and because I heard that the Sudanese army is going to fight Bucharest, I do n’t know where it is, but because this noble man is very nervous, so you came It's really not the time. "

The old man said to look back at the woman and smiled proudly. There was a word he didn't say. Although it was not the time for these refugees, it was a good thing for him.

After all, a young woman can be "buy" with just a little food. Whatever you think of it, it is the kindness that God rewards him.

The woman raised her head and looked at the front with a daze. The snow was very heavy the day before, and it was this snow that claimed the lives of many people, including her loved ones.

The old man gave her some food, but that was not enough to keep her alive.

Looking at the old man's expression at the time, she already knew what it was suggesting.

The woman only hesitated for a while before making a decision. In this cold place, what would happen to a single woman who lost all her loved ones. Before things got worse, at least She still has a chance to make a choice.

The woman got into the old man ’s carriage, and then was dragged to a strange place. She did n’t know what was waiting for her. At this time, she could only secretly pray in her heart. I hope the old man is single, at least not It will make her fall to the sins that even confess before God will feel that she cannot wash her body.

The old man seemed to be nagging all the time, but the woman had no intention to listen to what he said. She was only at a loss about her future until she heard an unexpected surprise "chuck" from the old man.

The wandering woman who had encountered a lot of shocks immediately noticed the old man's unexpected tone.

The woman stretched her neck and looked over the shoulders of the old man. There were a few black spots on the snow in the distance shaking towards them.

The old man's face has become dignified, and now there have been hordes of chaos throughout the year, especially after the nobles refused refugees to enter their territory, there has been nowhere else to help the refugees attack the local civilians.

"Hand over the knife behind me," the old man hurriedly urged the woman, seeing her look panic, the old man pushed her away impatiently, and pulled a handle under the pile of debris from the carriage. Some rusty scimitars.

"This is a sword that has fought against the Ottomans." The old man held his machete and shook it in front of his eyes, seeming to be brave all at once.

However, the old man's self-confidence only lasted for a little while. When he looked at the people who were close again, the old man's face gradually showed panic.

"Ottomans, Ottomans!"

The old man shouted in panic. He had never expected that he would meet the Ottomans so badly.

Although the Ottoman cavalry sometimes crossed the Naousawa River to invade the north, and sometimes even went far away, it was mostly in summer or warm spring and autumn. The Ottomans did not like the cold season.

More importantly, although the Ottomans sometimes go north, they have not been so far in the memory of the old man.

Do the nobles along the way have no idea that the Ottomans have arrived here? The old man wanted to ask who he was, but now he couldn't think of any way to escape from the danger except for holding a rusty machete and hiding in a panic with the woman.

The Ottomans were fast, their horses screamed from far and near, mixed with the sound of the rider.

The woman looked at the oncoming pagans in panic. Her eyes were full of fear. The fear that had been produced under the rule of the Ottomans in the South all year made her more frightened than the old man.

The speed of the Ottomans was really fast. Before the old man planned to rush the carriage to the road to avoid it, he rushed in front of them. The speed and power of the Arabian horse were fully demonstrated at this moment.

The old man raised the knife instinctively, he did not know whether he was going to resist or plan to cede, but his eyes were desperate, because he knew that the Ottomans would rush so crazy, waiting for him will only be a sharp sword .

But the imaginary massacre did not appear. The Ottomans ignored them and rushed past them. For the two people in the carriage, these Ottomans did not even look at them.

The old man stood blankly on the carriage holding a scimitar, but his face was full of dullness.

It was not until he turned his head to look at the backs of the Ottomans that he realized that the Ottomans ran away in awkwardness rather than rushing towards them. Several of them looked abnormally embarrassed and even ran in the last two. While rushing the horse, the individual throws away the seemingly cumbersome things on the horse's back to reduce the weight.

The old man stared blankly at the disappearing back of the Ottomans, and then he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly drove the carriage to the woods beside him.

Just before he drove the carriage into the woods, a thunderous roar had come from the direction in which the Ottomans had appeared.

The old man stopped slowly. He knew that it was a bit stupid to rush to avoid it at this time. Now he can only secretly pray in his heart that the best is a noble army that is hostile to the Ottomans, or at least some reasonable. people.

The speed of the people who come here is also very fast, but they are different from the Ottomans who are desperately running away. The team seems to deliberately maintain a certain pace, but once they appear in the field of vision, the old man finds that this is obviously A well-trained army is not a messy mercenary or a team of local nobles, because when that army first appeared, the unusual and strange uniform attracted his attention.

On the white snow, an eye-catching crimson military uniform and the snow radiated with each other so that the dazzling breastplate shined into the old man's eye, which made him have to squint to see the opposite. This army.

The strange costume and the appearance that looks different from the Bosnians made the old man narrow his eyes slightly.

When they were close enough to see clearly, the first impression flashed in the old man's heart was actually "this army is so clean."

It ’s actually not correct to say that it ’s clean. Many people in this army, after a long journey, look dirty, some people ’s armor is covered with mud stains, while others seem to be better, but Their faces were also smeared with sweat and dust so that they could not see the original look at all.

But even this old man can still feel that this team has many differences from the noble army he is familiar with.

A cavalry ran out of the team and ran towards the old man ’s carriage. He strangled the reins a short distance away, and then used a very strange tone to ask the old man aloud in local language: "Will you see a group of Ottomans? It ’s just some ... "The cavalry thought about how to describe it, but in the end just made a gesture that urged the horse to run" This Ottoman. "

"We saw that they had just passed by, but they scared us to death, and thought they would be killed by them, but they escaped quickly if they could be recovered as soon as possible ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ The old man said anxiously that he noticed these Some of the cavalry had weapons in their hands that were still contaminated with frozen blood, and when they thought about the way the Ottomans died, the old man's eyes could not help but a trace of fiery.

"Please forgive me for being unreasonable. I don't know which noble man's army you are?" The old man respectfully asked with some humility. The Bosnian nobles were not cruel to civilians, but they were absolutely arrogant and despised.

"Our grown-ups are not Bosnian, so even if you tell you, you won't know," the cavalry said in a very proud tone. "But you will soon hear his name, and then the entire Bosnian nobility Will be proud of knowing him. "

After talking, the cavalry turned around to catch up with the team that had passed by the woods.

"Captain, those Ottomans fled in that direction, and they should soon be able to catch up soon." The cavalry reported loudly to an officer at the front of the team.

"Then hurry up and say that we may really be in trouble this time," the officer who was pulling the restless warhorse in the same place was a bit helpless and said to the people next to him "I hope the count will not punish us, after all, we It attacked a team of Ottoman messengers. "
