    In seeking long-term cooperation with the Ottoman Empire, it was naturally impossible to leave it to Demens alone. After sending Demens away, Liu Chang immediately found Yang Changmei: "Find Nan Bohang, I will  I have important things to do with him!"

    Yang Changmei agreed, and half an hour later, Nan Bohang appeared in front of Liu Chang's desk: "Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

    "We now need talents with ties to the Ottoman Empire. If you pay attention, we can cooperate with the Ottoman Empire at the appropriate time."

    Under Liu Chang's nurturing, officers like Nan Bohang and Zhu Jinlei have grown up well. The biggest difference between them and Chinese officials of this era is that they have a global perspective. Nan Bohang soon understood  : "Cooperating with the Ottoman Empire to fight against Russia?"

    "Yes!"

    Nan Bohang has his own opinion: "There are very few things that help in times of need, but there is always a shortage of people who can make things better. Your Majesty, my opinion is that our focus is still on ourselves, especially the Philippines"

    "The Spaniards" Liu Chang had to admit that the Spaniards were a big trouble: "Now we can only delay it!"

    *** £ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª

    "A very beautiful river. I now declare that this river will be named after His Majesty Ivan IV, the Ivan River!" Prince Constantine did not know the name of the river in front of him, and he had no intention of doing so.  Yu asked the local indigenous people.  Instead, looking at the green mountains and clear waters, he happily announced his naming: "Chief of Staff, you can mark this Ivan River on the map!"

    "No problem!" The chief of staff of the headquarters is a Russian with German descent.  He announced happily: "Today is the eleventh day after crossing the Amur River. We have successfully captured four settlements and conquered another large river. As expected, we will conquer the entire area outside the customs in a short time."  !¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not conquest, it¡¯s separation!¡± His Excellency Governor Muravijoch, who has been following Prince Constantine, pointed out the chief of staff¡¯s language: ¡°Everything is exactly as we expected!¡±

    Although it has great ambitions, the Russian army has encountered one or another problem in the Northeast operations of this era. However, for the Russian army, it is more often a camping or a field training, rather than a  large-scale combat operations.

    the reason is simple.  Although the Qing army in the Northeast also has some Eight Banners troops with a strong fighting will, their equipment is seriously aging. They are often equipped with shotguns and red cannons from the Kangxi era. There are too many people and they are overwhelming.  In front of the enemy army, he was crushed to pieces almost immediately.

    For this Russian army, the bigger trouble comes from the danger of Guanhe River.  It¡¯s just that Russian farmers are always a group of mules. They can break through all obstacles in the mud and miraculously pass through impossible areas. Therefore, Prince Constantine feels that this conquest will go smoothly: ¡°Tomorrow, we will stop  Rest for a whole day and then work hard. Then pass a few big rivers"

    Muravyov agreed with this judgment. He felt that His Highness the Prince's decision was extremely wise: "What we need now is not unlimited victory, but to seize the results as much as possible and establish our own settlements and  Fortress, even if we can¡¯t capture Jinzhou within this year, there¡¯s no problem!¡±

    For both warring parties, this war is not a decisive battle of infantry or artillery. It is more of a logistical contest. Russia must transport soldiers and materials from the mainland to the Far East, and then cross the coastal area and Heilongjiang to move forward.  Movement, and for the Hong Army, if they want to regain the Northeast, they also need to use Beijing as a base and march northward one by one, the more materials will be lost on the way, especially the movement northward across Heilongjiang, which is simply a journey.  A nightmare.

    "As long as we build enough fortresses and fortresses, every attack by the Chinese will hit us with blood in front of our fortresses!" Prince Constantine saw it clearly: "What we need now is to harvest as many as possible  It doesn¡¯t hurt to make a little concession in the negotiation!¡±

    This is the decision that Prince Constantine and Muravyov have already made. Now this expedition is not about conquest, but about separation. As long as the Russians are given a few decades, the entire area outside the customs and the entire Mongolia area will become  Yellow Russia.

    ¡°There is no obstacle standing in front of us now!¡± Murlayoviv felt that his plan had reached a point of perfection: ¡°We and the Spaniards will compete in the north and south.The front line compressed the rebels to the point where they had no way to escape!  "

    "Spaniards, Spaniards!" Prince Constantine thought of something: "I hope everything goes well for them in the Philippines!"

    "How is this possible!" Muravyov felt that this was impossible: "Now Luzon Island is in the hands of the Chinese, and there are still those barbaric Islamists in the south."

    "As long as they wait until we separate the areas outside the customs, they can take all the initiative at the negotiation table!" Prince Constantine felt that the Spaniards would make a wise choice: "You must know that the Chinese, like us, are not maritime peoples.  , although we have an unimaginable passion for the ocean."

    For the Russians, this is the biggest regret. Even though they occupy the outlets of the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea and the Pacific Ocean, they are still not a true maritime nation.

    But when the chief of staff heard this, he added: "Just now, the Spaniards sent an urgent letter!"

    "The Spaniards?" Muravyov had a very bad imagination: "They can't be so unwise!"

    "Bring the letter quickly!" Prince Constantine had already drawn his sword: "God bless Russia!"

    The letter was quickly brought over. Prince Constantine carefully tore off the lacquer seal on the envelope and pulled out the letter. He only read the first few lines and already cursed: "These damn Spaniards, they  Once again, I want to destroy the Armada!"

    "They are not going to take action, are they?" Muravyov immediately thought of this question: "Now is not a good time!"

    "They are not going to take action, they are going to take full action. They informed us that the Spanish general offensive will be carried out within two weeks. Cooperating with the Spanish is really the biggest failure in my life."

    The Spanish-Russian alliance is an extremely fragile alliance. The reason why the two sides formed an independent alliance was entirely due to several unexpected factors, and now the alliance has broken down with each other.

    "They just need to hang out with the Chinese in the Philippines!" Prince Constantine said very bitterly: "In that case, the Chinese will have to deploy a large number of troops in several coastal provinces, and we can easily dismember the entire Yellow Russia.  , but nownow"

    He didn¡¯t even know how to describe the Spaniard¡¯s actions. His handsome brows suddenly tightened, but Muravyov had already figured it out: ¡°The Spaniards are just like us, we can¡¯t afford to delay them!¡±

    Yes, both the Kingdom of Spain and Tsarist Russia are considered very old powers. However, after entering the 19th century, these two old imperialist countries went into decline. Tsarist Russia¡¯s defeat in Crimea was not bad.  Some, Spain has lost its entire Latin American colony, which is the richest land in the world. It is full of gold mines, silver mines, copper mines, and the most fertile land in the world. Spain, which has lost its colonies, has no idea what to do.  In response, even the country fell into continuous civil war.

    Therefore, although the Spaniards sent a large number of troops to the Philippines, they were unable to do so. It was impossible for them to waste time with the Chinese on the Philippine Islands as the Russians imagined. They could only fight quickly to prevent the war from dragging out the entire country.  Kingdom of Spain.

    "We can only speed up our actions. We shouldn't rest tomorrow!" Muravyov made a choice in pain: "We must win Jinzhou as soon as possible!"

    "JinzhouJinzhouit is impossible to rest!"

    Jinzhou is a distant goal, especially with the current speed of the Russian army. Their infantry must walk to Jinzhou step by step. Therefore, in order to ensure that the infantry and cavalry are not out of touch, in the original plan, Prince Constantine was prepared to go to Jinzhou step by step.  Every one or two weeks, the troops are ordered to stop and rest for one or two days.

    But now they had to change their original plan and speed up their actions: "Tell the soldiers that we can only take a good rest when we get to Jinzhou or Lushunkou. Before there, we must march for six days every day and fight for twelve hours a day."  , Well, meal time is a special treat I give them."

    If the Russians had not crossed Heilongjiang more than ten days ago, they might have limited their targets to both sides of Heilongjiang. But now they have penetrated hundreds of kilometers to the south bank of Heilongjiang, and some troops have even penetrated more than 200 kilometers to the south bank of Heilongjiang.  They can only continue this gamble.

    Prince Constantine has thought it through: "We must continue to bet. We are betting on the fate of the entire Russia. Now the Spaniards should have taken action in the Philippines. This will be easy. They can contain the rebels for at least three months."  , and it will take at least two months for the rebels to control the entire North China. Five months is enough for us.??We have captured the entire area outside the Pass and established our fortress group in Jinzhou!  "

    "Order the soldiers to rush into Jinzhou without stopping in the spirit of the Patriotic War of 1812!"
