"Damn Chinese!" Prince Constantine cursed in his stomach, and could only reply: "No problem, there is no problem. As long as you take Shengjing and Jinzhou, we will immediately crown you as a Yellow Russian The king!"
Ge Mengjin¡¯s conditions are exactly the critical point that Prince Constantine and the Russians can accept. If he raised the conditions a little bit, Prince Constantine might not agree so readily.
The most important thing now is to capture the two most critical points of Shengjing and Jinzhou. If these two cities fall into the hands of Liu Juehu, then the Russians will have to start a long and bloody war in the Northeast, but Mulla Vyocchi was also curiously asking for specific details: "General Ge, how are you going to capture Jinzhou!"
"You can't!" Ge Mengjin patted his chest and said, "I can. We have obtained permission from a noble concubine in the Qing Dynasty to let our Russian army serve as reinforcements to fight Liu Juehu to the death. All posts and cities along our coast will be Give our troops a pass."
Ge Mengjin was not completely sure. He did not know how authoritative the edict in his hand was, but at least it could reduce the hostility of the Qing army along the way, and he could even enter Shengjing without a fight.
"real?"
Prince Constantine and Muravyov were dubious about this. Although the edict came from a Chinese noble concubine, the Russians didn't know much about Chinese politics. The object they were most familiar with was their destiny. Opponent - the Ottoman Turks.
Ottoman politics was a typical harem politics for a long time, and it was the women in the harem who had the final say. Therefore, they think that China's power structure is similar to that of the Ottoman Empire. They think this is the best opportunity to separate Yellow Russia from China.
"How did you contact this princess?"
Ge Mengjin smiled: "This is a personal secret, please His Royal Highness the Prince and His Highness the Governor. From here to Jinzhou, we no longer need to consume a single bullet."
"We will be the friendly forces of the Qing Dynasty and the Manchus, and we will have a smooth journey."
"The forward of our left army has entered Daming Prefecture. Commander Zhou of the Cavalry Army reported that we are preparing to raid Baoding Prefecture with a regiment of cavalry!"
"Report from the Right Route Army to recover Jinan!"
"Shanxi detachment report, conquer Linfen!"
Liu Chang Yujia¡¯s base camp was moving at the same time as the First Army Headquarters, so after receiving these pieces of news, Liu Chang finally felt a little relieved.
On the other side, Qu Jie seems to have a somewhat calm demeanor now. It is clear that the emperor is personally in charge, but I don¡¯t know if he is too wise or too slow to react. He still regards Liu Chang as the original checkpoint, and even calls out one or two words from time to time: "Checkpoint."
He looked at the map and said: "The progress is almost as expected. Beijing, the home base of the Qing demons, was quickly captured. However, the combat effectiveness of the Qing army in North China has indeed improved a lot."
After long-term combat training, whether it is the Eight Banners, Green Camp or Yong Camp, they have all restored some wartime atmosphere. Coupled with the replacement of many Western firearms, they caused a lot of obstacles to the Hong Army.
Liu Chang did not speak, but Zhu Jinlei looked very optimistic: "Their ability is also to stick to the city. If they compete with us in a field battle, they will never be our opponents. Commander Qu, we have mobilized 130,000 troops this time. If we can't continue If it¡¯s decided in one battle, we won¡¯t have the face to see anyone.¡±
One hundred and thirty thousand! This is the total force mobilized by the Hong Army for this battle. Including the accompanying civilians and businessmen, the total number exceeds 200,000!
This torrent is galloping across the North China Plain and is invincible. No matter which famous city it is, it is impossible to resist such a powerful enemy army. However, Liu Chang frowned. He was not as optimistic as Zhu Jinlei: "Victory Guan Jian Not in Beijing, but in a piece of stone!"
A piece of stone is naturally an old story of Li Zicheng. In fact, the battlefield of Qingshun decisive battle is not in a piece of stone. A piece of stone is just the place where the forwards of the two sides came into contact the day before the decisive battle. But the meaning of Liu Chang's words is very clear to everyone, that is, not to do anything second. Li Zicheng.
"It won't be to this extent!" Even the somewhat pessimistic Qu Jie didn't think the situation would be serious enough: "We have hundreds of thousands of troops!"
"When Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he had hundreds of thousands of troops with him, and the total strength of the Dashun Army was not less than dozens of times. He must not be the second Li Zicheng. Remember, we are tied with the Russians, and that is us Lost!"
?? New China needs the outside world, Mongolia and Siberia. This is Liu Chang¡¯s direct understanding: ¡°Now the population in the country is densely populated.To what extent, you also know. If we do not immigrate outside the customs, this kind of population pressure cannot be relieved, and it may be the second wave of chaos or chaos. "
He calmly stated his opinion. At this point, he was both the authority and the highest power, so no one dared to question it. Therefore, Qu Jie couldn't help but take a breath of air: "It's not easy to go outside the Pass and Mongolia"
He was talking about the bitter cold outside the Pass, and Zhu Jinlei also had his own opinion: "The number of Russian barbarian soldiers going south this time is only 50,000 at most. Is this your Majesty's estimate?"
Liu Chang nodded. His judgment was based on historical data: "Yes, at most 50,000 people, it can't be more."
"I have 130,000 soldiers, which can at least be equivalent to 100,000 Russian soldiers. If it is not enough, we can also deploy hundreds of thousands more elite soldiers. As for how strong the Russians' combat effectiveness is? Your Majesty knows it well, so there is no need for you to worry." Zhu Jinlei has always said He has his own thoughts: "The frontline soldiers must also think so."
"Do the frontline soldiers think so too?"
Liu Chang felt that there were many dangers: "Is this really true?"
What he was worried about was that the troops were too optimistic and missed major events. Zhu Jinlei did not notice his emotions and continued: "Our First Army has fought many times with the Russians near Shanghai, and we know what the Russian barbarians are. How can one fight against one on one? We are sure of victory in two against one. Moreover, the opponents of the Russian barbarians are not only us, but also the Qingyao from the Northeast. It is impossible for the Qingyao to look at their dragons. The land of prosperity fell into the hands of the Russians."
He was talking eloquently, but Liu Chang's face became more and more gloomy, and he said: "This is not okay, you can't underestimate the enemy!"
But just as they were talking about this, there was a report from the cavalry over there: "People are coming from Shengjing. A Chinese led by a Russian cavalry suddenly arrived outside Shengjing. They claimed that the Russian Czar heard about the rebellion in the Qing Dynasty and sent 100,000 elite troops to the front. They came to quell the chaos, but General Shengjing did not allow them to enter the city and asked them to go south to help defend Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan"
"It's bad!" Liu Chang said loudly: "Let the Russians move a step faster. The troops must move faster!"
He took a picture of the map and said loudly: "We don't want to be Li Zicheng"
*** £ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª£ª
"We are not Li Zicheng, we are the sword of the army!"
Zhou Xiuying always maintained this heroic appearance, and as soon as the officers and soldiers of the cavalry army saw her, they immediately gained absolute confidence.
They are all old men who have followed Zhou Xiuying through countless battles. They have grown step by step from a few dozen men and horses to tens of thousands of elite cavalry at the beginning, and now this final decisive battle will determine the fate of the entire group. destiny.
Zhou Xiuying didn¡¯t need to say anything else, the cadres all said confidently: ¡°Commander, don¡¯t worry, our White Horse First Regiment will definitely be the first to cross Shanhaiguan!¡±
"The Luoyang camp can fight to the last man at any time!"
"There is no problem with the Jinan First Regiment!"
"Leave this battle to our brigade!"
Among the crowd, Ren Zhu also shouted loudly: "Commander Zhou, do you think I, Ren Zhu, Ren Huabang, can be trusted?"
For this battle, the entire cavalry army mobilized 7,600 cavalry, which can be said to be the largest investment in cavalry in the history of the Hong Army. However, the factor of the merger of Russia and the Qing army was not anticipated. Now the main force of the entire cavalry army is like casting a net. Generally speaking, it takes a few days to gather them back when they are spread out to fight.
Ren Huabang's Fourth Cavalry Brigade, on the other hand, is relatively new, with nearly 2,000 cavalry almost at full strength. It is the most complete cavalry brigade except for the large cavalry regiment held by Zhou Xiuying as the general reserve. , so he specifically asked for a fight.
Zhou Xiuying also said happily: "Ren Zhu, do you have the confidence to rush into Beijing and quell hundreds of thousands of pure monsters?"
"Have confidence!" Ren Zhu is a natural-born cavalry general: "I have two thousand fine cavalry. Even if the Qing Yao has three hundred thousand, I only need to kill ten rounds!"
"Have ambition!" Zhou Xiuying has always been a heroine, she asked loudly: "Then you have faith in the military and political affairs, and there will be no mistakes in autumn!"
Ren Zhu said without hesitation: "Even if you enter the Forbidden City, you won't get more than one bowl or chopsticks!"
¡°Then I would rather leave Beijing Huahua World immediately and go straight to Shanhaiguan!¡±
Ren Zhu was unambiguous: "Shanhaiguan was easily broken through, Jinzhou City was like walking on flat ground, and he went straight into Shengjing."
The Fourth Cavalry Brigade has only fought a few small battles since it was formed into an army. The officers and soldiers of the Cavalry Brigade are in high morale and are worried about having no battles to fight, especially the Nian Army who have newly put on the uniforms of the regular army.The cavalrymen want to win a battle and make achievements. They know very well that if they want to become a general quickly, this is almost the last chance.
Zhou Xiuying stared at Ren Zhu for a long time, her eyes were like lightning. Ren Zhu was not afraid at all. He said loudly: "Commander Zhou, give me a chance!"
"I'm in Beijing no, I'm in Shengjing to have a celebratory drink with Brigadier Ren!"
Ren Zhu laughed loudly: "Okay, commander, please rest assured, even if you die, you will ride on the coffin to Shengjing!" (To be continued)
