    "These savage infidels! May God forgive them!"

    There is no Orthodox church on this land, so Prince Constantine could only hold the Bible tightly and said to the officers beside him: "We must not only conquer them with swords, but also use our Bibles and  The cross came to conquer them.¡±

    It turned out that in Prince Constantine¡¯s plan, Orthodox clergy and chapels would be established as soon as the Russian army entered the country. However, it turned out that all these ideas were too optimistic.

    Starting from the twelfth day, the entire Russian army's combat operations have always encountered obstacles of various sizes. Although they have nearly 40,000 people and the Qing army they face is just a few Eight Banners soldiers, the problem is that the Northeast is too vast.

    In the 1850s, the entire Northeast had a population of more than three million. This was closely related to the Manchu Qing's long-term policy of banning land reclamation. With the crisis of Tsarist Russia's invasion of China in the future, the Manchu Qing was finally forced to open up the border.  In three years of **, this number had surged to 6 million. After that, the entire Northeast population grew at an alarming rate. By the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the Northeast had a population of 45 million, which was less than 100 million people.  In 2001, the population of Northeast China increased by fifteen times.

    Even with a population of only three million, it was still very difficult for the small Russian army to handle. Their opponents were barbarians armed with longbows, broadswords and matchlocks, and most of them were old people and children. However, it was bitter cold outside the pass, so Manchuria  The unique riding and shooting tradition of the Eight Banners is best preserved here, not to mention that this is their homeland.

    When it comes to defending their homeland, the Eight Banners of Manchuria often have more fighting will than ordinary Green Camp soldiers.  In several battles, the Russian army had to step through layers of corpses, and they themselves suffered certain casualties.

    So far, Prince Constantine is the main force preparing to attack Shengjing and Jinzhou.  Hundreds of soldiers were killed or wounded in battle. In order to take care of the wounded soldiers, no more personnel were allowed.

    Stepping into such a mountain of corpses and sea of ??blood.  Prince Constantine still holds the cross in his hand. He is a symbol of kindness and care in the brutal Tsarist Russia. Historically, whenever Tsarist Russia needed to implement a compromise policy towards Russian Poland, Prince Constantine was sent to it.  When he went to Poland and changed his butcher's knife, he transferred this gentle prince back to Moscow.

    Now Constantine put down the Bible in his hand, and he shook hands with each injured soldier cordially: "Russia, God is with you. You were wounded in the battle with the infidels, and I feel great honor for you!"  "

    Such care is rare among the Russian royal family. The Tsar rarely cares about these soldiers who are as ordinary as mules. Therefore, these soldiers shed tears and were willing to sacrifice for Russia and His Highness the Prince.

    ¡°After shaking hands with every wounded soldier, Prince Constantine asked Governor Muravijochi beside him: ¡°Your Excellency, Governor, we are getting further and further away from Shengjing and Jinzhou!¡±

    It is indeed a difficult fact to fight in such a strange country, so Prince Constantine said to Muravijoch: "Moscow has spent too much capital on this war. If it puts more bets, then  Our entire country's finances will be bankrupted"

    "I have the same opinion!" Muravijoch said cautiously: "Yellow Russia's plan is too risky. It is too risky! Every time a bet is added now, it is the blood and tears of Mother Russia!"

    Although this is an army of less than 40,000 people, which is not as good as the decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of troops on the Russian-Turkish front, for Russia, the Far East is too far away from the outside world. It is so far away that every day of fighting costs tens of thousands of dollars.  Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of rubles.

    What's even more terrible is that, judging from the current progress, although there is an absolute advantage in military strength, there is a possibility that the entire Russian expeditionary force will be trapped in the frozen soil of the Far East. At least for now, it is necessary to quickly conquer the entire Northeast region.  , it will take at least two or three months.

    According to intelligence, the rebels in North China have already begun operations. They have sent two powerful corps to sweep away the government troops in North China. They may cross the Great Wall at any time and start an unexpected decisive battle with the Russian expeditionary force.  .

    Both Prince Constantine and Governor Muravyov have absolute confidence in the combat effectiveness of this Russian army. This army can be said to be the best army in Russia, far better than the army in  The small expeditionary force that suffered a setback in Shanghai was also stronger than the Russian army that suffered a heavy blow in the Crimean War.

    But the problem is that if this war turns into a long-term quagmire war, and it may even happen that the Hong Army's elite infantry units have entered Shengjing before the Russian expeditionary force attacks Shengjing, then the whole of Russia will not be able to bear it.  cause such losses.

      "Should we stop this war?" Prince Constantine is a benevolent nobleman who loves every inch of Russia: "In that case, we might as well build a fortress locally based on Heilongjiang. A fortress can be built here.  With all the favorable conditions in the group, the Chinese will be beaten to pieces in front of our strong fortress group, and the loot now is enough!"

    That¡¯s right, now the Russians have taken enough spoils from the Chinese, almost as big as half of Europe, it¡¯s time to stop!

    Konstantin put forward this opinion, but Muraviviv disagreed: "This is impossible, we can only win the rebels in the field! We can increase the stakes, but it is impossible to increase too much."

    He knows where it is, and now he stops to build a fortress group on the spot. It seems to be very good news, but tens of thousands of troops must stay in the fortress for a long time, and the Hong Army can choose the time to launch an attack at any time. If it is just one or two  Months, or three months are easy to handle, but if the Hong Army adopts the tactics of fortress against fortress, it will completely drag down the entire Russia.

    ¡°We don¡¯t have many chips in hand!¡± Constantine admitted this reluctantly: ¡°Not enough chips!¡±

    When the two of them were in trouble, someone outside reported: "Mr. Ge Mengjin is here."

    "This damn traitor, what news did he bring?"

    Originally, in the Russian plan, Ge Mengjin's more than 2,000 people should be able to play a big role, at least serving as hunting dogs for the Russian army. However, they did not expect that Ge Mengjin's army would move much slower than the Russian army, and until now  So far, although they have wasted a lot of gunpowder and lead, they have not achieved any definite results. However, Ge Mengjin is really a good player when it comes to fighting for the spoils of war.

    He even used several Russian companies in his army. Now it is not the Chinese auxiliary troops and the Russian troops competing for the spoils, but the Russians and the Russians competing for the spoils with the help of the Chinese, and they took a lot of them.  thing.

    Thinking of Ge Mengjin, who had failed to expose himself, Prince Constantine and Muravijoch both had headaches. They felt that they wanted to kill this scourge now. You must know that even the several Russian companies sent to support Ge Mengjin were killed.  I was led astray by this guy.

    "Your Highness the Prince! And my Governor!" Ge Mengjin opened his hands as soon as they met and took off his dog-skin hat enthusiastically: "I am reporting the good news to you two."

    "What's the good news?"

    "I need more prisoners and weapons, as well as gunpowder and bullets!" Ge Mengjin asked for more things as soon as he opened his mouth: "And my team has added many soldiers in the past few days, and their funds are not available at all."

    "I will consider it!" Although Prince Constantine has a headache for Ge Mengjin, he is still a good person at heart: "I will notify the quartermaster and add supplies to you tomorrow, but we are also in difficulty."

    "It won't be difficult as long as you capture Shengjing?" Ge Mengjin said with a smile, "Isn't that right?"

    "What? Shengjing?" Constantine asked: "Do you have a way to enter Shengjing?"

    "Yes, I have a way to enter Shengjing without spending a bullet, a barrel of gunpowder, a shell, or the life of a Russian soldier!"

    "How is it possible?" Prince Constantine knew that Ge Mengjin was very capable of talking nonsense, but he didn't expect him to talk nonsense like this: "If you can be the first to rush into Shengjing, I will let Moscow give you a count!"

    "Only an earl? This is too stingy!" Ge Mengjin immediately replied: "I do have a way to enter Shengjing, but the premise is that I must be on par with His Excellency the Prince!"

    When he said these words, Muravijoki almost picked up his cane and beat this madman. Who did he think he was!

    But the next moment, he tightened his grip on the cane and his breathing became unsteady. How could this be possible?

    How could he have a way to enter Shengjing, and he was the first to enter Shengjing? Doesn't he know that Shengjing is the ruling center of the entire area north of the Great Wall, where there are thousands of Eight Banners troops and their family troops, so with the help of  How could Ge Mengjin's chaotic army be the first to enter Shengjing.

    In fact, even Muravijochi himself didn¡¯t know whether his expeditionary force could enter the Shengjing area before the Hong Army.

    Konstantin is a straightforward person: "Do you have any idea? I not only need to enter Shengjing, but also enter Jinzhou first. If you can help us conquer Yellow Russia, then I can let Moscow canonize you as the leader of Yellow Russia."  The ruler, the true king!¡±

    Ge Mengjin proudlyShowing his yellow teeth, he geared up: "Okay, it's a deal, I want some support now, at least"

    "At least six Russian infantry companies, one cavalry company, one artillery company, and one hundred thousand silver coins"
