    "The Russian Empire will never give up its determination to make progress!" Murayoviv answered Ge Mengjin's question simply: "So I have privately requested His Excellency the Prince to do my best to help your cause."

    "I need more soldiers, more officers, more weapons and more silver coins!" Ge Mengjin put forward his request without hesitation: "I also need several military camps, 1,500 military horses,  And all the harness, and"

    As a rational Russian, Murayoviv understands that this is impossible. To transport a barrel of gunpowder to Siberia, the cost is often the price of several barrels or even dozens of barrels of gunpowder. Some  At that time, a barrel of gunpowder was shipped to Siberia, which was enough to make 67 barrels of gunpowder locally.

    But now the Russians have finally found a relatively cheap way, which is to order arms and all supplies from the United States through agents in the United States, and then American merchant ships cross the entire Pacific or Arctic Ocean to transport shiploads of supplies to the Far East.  , but this method still involves huge risks and huge losses, and the throughput capacity of Far East ports is also limited.

    This was the main transportation route for U.S. aid to the Soviet Union during World War II. The Japanese in that time and space painfully watched hundreds of American ships fly the flag of a neutral country, and then transported countless supplies to the Far East to deal with their allies and even themselves.  body, but in this time and space, the Russians have not been able to find a port in the Far East that can receive a large amount of supplies, not to mention that most ports in the Far East are not ice-free ports, and their use time is very limited each year.

    "This is impossible. To get our country's support, you must make more efforts." Murlayoviv said with a straight face: "Our request for assistance is limited."

    "I know, I know!" Ge Mengjin, a fat man, stepped with flexible steps and grabbed Murayoviv's hand and said: "So I will surrender to the Russian Empire and ask that the entire outside the customs and the entire Mongolia be given to Russia.  Empire, I only need the territory north of the old Yellow River in Guan as my principality."

    He has figured it out a little bit now.  That is, under the rule of Imperial Russia, there are still many principalities or other forms that maintain relative independence, such as the Grand Duchy of Finland. The Russians only have situational suzerainty over the Grand Duchy of Finland.

    Ge Mengjin even did not hesitate to pay more.  He felt that he only needed to become a puppet Qi during the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties: "In order to fight against the evil rebels, my new country must receive strong assistance from the Russian Empire. The Russian Empire can develop our important cities in our country and give priority to our development."  ports, mines, forests and farms, and can also help us build railways. Without the assistance of Russian friends, even the survival of the new country will become a problem."

    In order to get more resources.  Ge Mengjin did not hesitate to sell everything he had, so Muravyov seemed to be nodding his head: "Then, in your new government, there must be Russian advisers, right?"

    "That's right, whether they are military advisors or political advisors!" Ge Mengjin immediately replied: "Or economic advisors, they are all our teachers."

    He looked at Muravyov longingly, hoping that his words would impress the Siberian governor.  Muravyov seemed to be persuaded by Ge Mengjin, and he finally relented: "The new principality is part of the Russian Empire, and will always be a staunch ally of Russia, right?"

    "That's right!" Ge Mengjin waved his fist and said, "We will always be allies. Even if His Majesty the Tsar asks me to take my wife out, I will not hesitate at all."

    This is enough: "In this case, although we can still only provide limited help, I will try my best to provide every convenience. I will give you a one-time funding of 60,000 rubles. In addition, I will also provide you with 2,500 rubles."  One hundred rifles, eighteen cannon, as well as a large amount of gunpowder, clothing, and we will hand over to you a trained infantry regiment of Chinese infantry. There will be seven hundred soldiers, in addition to twelve hundred Chinese  The prisoners will also be handed over to you!"

    "Thank you so much!" Ge Mengjin wiped away the tears that fell with his hands: "I will always be the tsar's lackey! But I still hope to get more Russian companies!"

    "No problem, the number of Russian companies supporting you will be doubled!" Muravyov announced the result happily: "I hope you can defeat the rebel forces north of the old Yellow River."

    "Thank you so much." Ge Mengjin hugged Muravyov and shouted loudly: "From now on, I will be a Russian, and tonight, we will all be Russians"¡ª¡ª

    Ge Mengjin held the Governor in his arms for half an hour.  Only then was he satisfied and left with two Russian bodyguards, and a few minutes later, a handsomeThe handsome senior officer had already found Murayoviv. He jumped off his horse and asked, "Did he agree?"

    "Agreed! Your Highness!" Muravyov replied: "Although such a reckless man can be found for a thousand gold rubles on the streets of Moscow, but our cause needs him."

    The person called His Highness is the brother of the current Russian Tsar, an indispensable assistant in the Tsar's career, and His Excellency Prince Constantine, whom the Tsar trusts most. However, he is quite dissatisfied with Ge Mengjin: "Those who betray themselves will never be betrayed."  Maybe the eagle is flying high, I think we are wasting time, I should be in Warsaw or Moscow now."

    Konstantin¡¯s frankness obviously won the favor of Muravyov. Although he was an advocate and practitioner of the empire¡¯s eastward expansion, he also believed that Prince Konstantin should not appear here.

    It is difficult for a foreigner to imagine the love that Russians have for Prince Constantine. Compared with Alexander II, Prince Constantine had the mobility and kindness that the latter lacked. He expressed his love for both the serfs and the newly conquered Polish territory.  He had great sympathy, so he should win the support of the Polish people for the empire in Warsaw, or preside over the most important serfdom reform movement in the empire in Moscow.

    However, the newly crowned Tsar Alexander II sent the young Prince Constantine to Siberia and served as the commander-in-chief of the entire eastward expansion. Of course, there is also a rumor that although the Tsar trusted the prince, he often misled him.  The tsar had a special emotion towards Prince Constantine, so he deliberately exiled the prince to Siberia in disguise.

    As a key member of the eastward expansion project, Murayoviv could not believe such rumors, just as he had to firmly believe in Orthodox Christianity, so he had to answer: "You became the conqueror of the Amur River, Jilin, Liaodong and the entire Mongolia  Or, it is more meaningful than your career in Warsaw or Moscow. Do you want to be trapped in a group of bureaucrats and forget how the empire opened up the Baltic Sea with sword and fire!"

    Peter the Great¡¯s great achievements in opening up the Baltic Sea are engraved in the minds of every royal family, and the undertaking that Prince Constantine is currently undertaking is no different from Peter the Great¡¯s original undertaking.

    "That's right, it's no longer the Amur River, but the entire Pacific Ocean and the entire North Asia!" Prince Constantine's face showed a flush of excitement. This was a big undertaking: "It's no longer that little boy.  The Amur River!¡±

    Is the Amur River small?  Muravyov does not think that the Amur River is a small river at all. This big river is as unrestrained as the Volga River. However, Russia's eastward expansion has transformed from this "small" "Amur River" to the entire North Asia.  The entire China's areas outside the Pass and Mongolia, as well as the area within the China's Pass north of the old Yellow River, and even include Korea and Japan, two Chinese vassal states.

    Counting these lands, this will be another grand territory like Europe. It will also be Russia's greatest outward expansion since defeating Bonaparte in 1812. Its significance even exceeds the protection of holy places.  dispute.

    Now everything is ready, and Ge Mengjin, the tragic loser in the Chinese Civil War, has become a chess piece used by Prince Constantine. On the entire chessboard, all the chess pieces are ready, and they are transferred from the east of the Ural Mountains.  The incoming troops are on standby at any time. Among them are many troops who have performed countless feats in the Crimean War, including the loyal hound border guards of the Ministry of Finance, free Cossacks, and a team of exiles, but no matter what kind of troops they are.  , they were all loyal to the Tsar and served Russia loyally.

    A year ago, Muravyov could not have imagined that the Russian Empire would transport so many soldiers and supplies to Siberia far away from Moscow. However, reality has proved that the Russians are a group of real mules.  Unimaginable hardships, suffering and efforts laid the cornerstone of the Yellow Russia Plan, just like Suvorov's expedition in Switzerland, which is an eternal miracle in human history.

    "Yes, Your Highness, it is no longer the Amur River, but the entire Pacific Ocean!" Muravyov proudly announced: "Everything is ready, the generals are waiting for you to announce the order of His Majesty the Tsar, we can announce  The meeting officially begins."

    "I'll go. All the generals will be here, right? I've prepared Volga for them. It's not a local wine from Siberia, but a real good one brought from Moscow!" Prince Constantine turned towards his horse.  Go: "I hope the generals will like my gift."

    But before Prince Constantine got back on his horse, he said something meaningful: "My Lord Governor, do you really believe that the Russians will make trouble for half a bottle of wine?"

    It is difficult for Muravyov to answer this question.
