The Historical Hegemon Series
Volume 12 - Theodoro
Chapter 89 - The Russian-Oirat Horde War
Begin the War:
Russia
Theodoro
Trebizond
Vs
Oirat Horde
Transoxiana
Kashmir
We are the junior partner as is Transoxiana, so we cannot win then take a separate peace with them, but we could with the Oirat Horde.
I have gained stuff from Russia before like from Ajam. I don’t want to pull out I wanna get warfavors in theory, but some key holdings from Transoxiana are nice and we have some internal holdings surrounded by my stuff that need to go.
I order 30k from Semnan to their Qumis
I order 30k from Bam next door to their Fort of Zaranj
I order my 30k from Qatar to grab internal holdings
10 Dec – Qumis is ours, I head to the Fort of Bojnord
1 Jan, 1645 –
Fak-Fak – Island of Papua, former colony, 3 dev, coastline, Incense trade, they make 0.08, next to Ternate. Tropical.
Rebellions in Taytay
7 Feb – I can purchase a new Splendor ability for the Age of Absolutism. I choose Harsher Treatment - -50% MIL Cost for brutally suppressing a rebellion
14 Feb – Rebellion ended
30 April – Zaranj falls! I order this army next door to Farah where 25k opposing forces are.
1 May – Samar is good for tropical wood, another miss
12 May – The internal holding of Abarquh is ours
16 May – Haditha converts
They dodged combat
I move to the Fort of Ghor
14 July – Saidabad another internal is ours
17 Dec – The Siege of Bojnord lifts and we captured it. We have a warscore of 28%. I order these troops to Bukhara to begin a siege there
2 Jan, 1646 – Russia captured the Fort of Nogay
Russia are here in Bukhara and Samarkhand besieging so I join them.
14 Mar – Ghor falls to us
1 April – Samarkhand falls to Russia
21 May – Bukhara falls
New Government Reform:
Tier 9 - Absolutism and Constitutionalism
I choose…
Divine Rights
+1 Tolerance of the True Faith
-5% Warscore Cost vs other religions
7 June – We have a 75% with everyone in. I have just a 15% warscore, and take double warscore for stuff from Transoxiana, so I could get the two internal holdings inside my territory and then that’s it.
I arrive at the Fort for Kashgar and begin the siege.
1 July – Our heir takes over the Regency ends, he is a tactical genius
I need to get him a lady friend
Austria is my target. I send a diplomat to influence nation
18 August – We get a new Queen from Tabriz
We have a new 6/0/5 heir
5 Oct – I defeat a 20k Transoxianan army
27 Nov – Kashgar falls, everyone has a 99 warscore and we have a 22 ourselves
This is the most I can do:
It’s just 15 badboy, peace for 8 years, and three simple minor holdings. I doubt Russia is sending us anything, and I don’t want a 20 year peace treaty with Transoxiana my main land addition.
I do it.
I core them for less than 70
Abarquh – Internal, Church, 5 dev, Mountains, Livestock, Persian Sunnis make us 0.02
Saidabad – Mountains, internal, Livestock, 3 dev, nothing made here, Persian and Sunni here
Qumis – 3 dev, desert, wool sheered here, Sunni faith, Khorasani culture, next to Transoxiana and us, nothing made here, this was a throw in, since I really wanted the two internal holdings we already took.
Nice!!!
