    "What do you think about Jinzhou's problem?"

    When Prince Constantine said this, there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart, but there was a piece of ice in his heart to restrain his excitement, so he could only ask His Excellency Governor Muravijochi who was in front of him.

    Governor Muravijochi also showed an embarrassed look: "I really didn't expect that with Ge Mengjin's small force, he could hold on for so long under the siege of an infantry division and a cavalry brigade of the rebels. Even  When the reinforcements arrive, this is just the beginning of bigger troubles "

    At first, they did not have high expectations for Ge Mengjin's troops who came to Jinzhou. After all, under the leadership of Ge Mengjin, this army had become a disorganized and murderous army. However, they never expected that Ge Mengjin, a desperado, would actually  Being able to fight so hard, he managed to withstand the entire strength of an infantry division and a cavalry brigade of the Chinese Communist Party with this small force.

    According to the battle reports sent by the reinforcements, the two sides fought repeatedly inside and outside Jinzhou City. The battle lasted for almost ten days and nights. Some positions changed hands as many as seven or eight times. However, the final result of the battle was that Ge Mengjin held Jinzhou City and even waited for reinforcements.  's arrival

    It was a combination of 650 Russian infantry and 250 Manchu cavalry. They arrived at the same time as an edict from two Manchu queen mothers and the new emperor. This edict confirmed the Russian army's entry into the Pass.  Legality, it even required all Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners and Han army officers and soldiers outside the pass to strongly support the combat operations of Russian reinforcements. It even required Shengjing to open the city gate and allow the Russian troops stationed outside the city to enter the city.

    The two queen mothers even sent envoys to Prince Constantine's military camp.  They were satisfied with their request, which was that in return the young new emperor would be allowed to become the ruler outside the Pass.  The new Manchukuo will provide the Russians with all conveniences. For the Russians, this is the best opportunity to separate the outside world from China.

    It¡¯s just the night before the dream comes true.  The Russians have found troubles one after another. Now Muraviyoch mentioned a number of problems happening in the country: "With this momentum, there will not only be another Pugachev problem in the country, but there may also be a pseudo-problem."  The possibility of the Tsar, what is even more troublesome is the Polish issue"

    ¡°The Poles who once respected the Tsar are now taking advantage of the frosty moment on the Russian land to challenge the bottom line of the Russian Empire again and again. They are openly printing written materials of the Polish government.  Publicly clamoring for the Russian troops to get out of Poland, and even following Finland's old practice, all power is determined by the Poles themselves.

    The Poles are not just talking about it. The secret police have discovered some cases of arms smuggling. These arms smuggling is not for economic reasons, but to support radical elements in Poland. The smuggled weapons come in barrels.  Barrels of gunpowder.  There are also revolvers and flintlock pistols, and even some obsolete percussion guns, and even some of the most advanced Mini rifles. Domestic terrorists have even set up secret factories in the country to make gunpowder, bombs and other firearms. They even  Develop your own insiders among the police and garrison.

    A big storm is about to break out in Poland.  The Tsar's well-intentioned concessions greatly boosted the morale of these traitors. Semi-open rebel organizations even appeared in some areas. The rebels even organized the Red Party and the White Party, seeing that a small-scale war was about to break out in Poland.

    Therefore, Muravyov said helplessly: "If there is a war in Poland, our operations in the Far East will be without any support, not to mention the news that Chinese mercenaries have landed in Siberia"

    According to news from Siberia, several Chinese ships appeared in the coastal areas. After they landed, they carried out large-scale looting in Siberia, and even took away a large amount of furs and other precious materials.

    In fact, these were just mercenaries hired by the Swedes. They only had one ship, and there were only more than fifty people including the sailors. They were led by a Japanese mercenary leader, Jin Kuroshima, to carry out an unorganized robbery operation. In normal years,  , such a robbery operation is simply a suicide, but now all the strong men in Siberia have been conscripted into the army, and the remaining old and weak cannot protect their property at all, so this small bandit group is exaggerated into a  A powerful armed group with a large ship and thousands of infantry.

    Based on this information, Muravyov felt that a more prudent approach should be taken now: "It is true that we defeated the Chinese *** Corps in Jinzhou and suffered great losses, but the enemy still has a huge military strength.  , the Chinese can mobilize at least five or six infantry divisions, and there are also two to three cavalry brigades"

    Based on the erroneous information Muravyov received, inThe entire 12th Infantry Division and the 4th Cavalry Brigade were defeated in the battle at Jinzhou City. The 12th Infantry Division participated in the battle with about 9,000 troops and lost about 7,000 troops. The 4th Cavalry Brigade had 2,000 troops and lost about 10,000 troops.  Sixteen hundred people could be said to have suffered a fatal blow.

    In fact, this intelligence greatly exaggerated the actual losses of the two units. Even the 12th Infantry Division, which suffered the most losses, had about 3,800 troops in the battle, 1,700 losses, 2,100 actual survivors, and the 4th Cavalry Division.  The brigade participated in the battle with 700 men, and lost about 230 men, leaving 480 fighting men remaining.

    Ge Mengjin's losses were equally astonishing. He lost nearly half of his 10,000 defenders, including 370 of his 1,100 Russian barbarian soldiers. He also lost 2,100 desperadoes under his command.  In addition to these 3,200 elite troops, the 7,000 miscellaneous troops suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, 3,000 escaped, and about 1,700 strong men were forcibly captured during the battle.  With sufficient strength, they are still in a state of defeat.

    If 650 Russian reinforcements had not been sent from Shengjing in the end, Jinzhou might have fallen into the hands of the Hong Army. The timely arrival of nearly a thousand reinforcements gave Ge Mengjin's troops time to reorganize. Now it has  Five hundred Russian soldiers, together with 1,600 Eight Banners soldiers and Han troops, are on their way to reinforce Jinzhou. They will greatly restore the strength of Jinzhou's defenders.

    However, Prince Constantine felt that Muravijoch's actions were too cautious. Seeing that he was about to take over the entire Yellow Russia, he retreated to the negotiating table to negotiate with the Chinese: "Your Excellency, Governor, I need your support. You should  You know, as long as the Chinese are taught a hard lesson, they will give up the entire Yellow Russia, which is almost as big as the entire Europe!"

    Along the way, Prince Constantine felt that the barbarian regime was simply committing a crime. They left a piece of fertile land given by God here to be blown by wind and rain, but did not carry out any development at all. This is not a crime, but a suicide!

    Therefore, this fertile land will provide the Russian nation with the motivation to take off, and even provide all the information needed for domestic land reform. When thinking of this, Prince Constantine felt that he must abandon his moderate stance, and even more important on this issue.  Be radical, be more adventurous.

    As long as Yellow Russia is captured, there will always be bread. Whether it is Poland, Finland or the lurking Pugachevs, they will cheer in front of the pies falling from the sky, and everything will be solved. As for the few who appear in the rear  Pirates are also an easy thing to do.

    "We need action, more forceful action Well, what is it?"

    He saw the messenger coming quickly and asked: "Is there any good news?"

    "The Chinese are on the move! Ge's intelligence!" The messenger said with sweating profusely: "This is the letter Ge wrote to you. He tells you that this is the most critical choice in the entire Russian history"

    "That's right!" Muravijoch was very puzzled by the transformation of Prince Constantine. You must know that this prince is a well-known moderate in the country. He has the greatest sympathy for the serfs and the lower class, but now  The performance told Muraviyoch that the prince was more radical than he imagined: "This is the most critical choice in Russian history, just like the choices made by Ivan IV and Peter the Great."

    After just hastily reading the message sent by Ge Mengjin, Prince Constantine announced happily: "Our opportunity has come, this is really a God-given opportunity!"

    "What?" Muravijochi is a standard realist: "Your Highness, what news does he have?"

    "The Chinese sent an infantry division to Rehe to quell the rebels there. It is said that King Taiping appeared there and mobilized 5,000 rebels to participate in the uprising together with the former government troops. The Chinese  River's rule has encountered a major crisis."

    "Prince Taiping?" Muravijoch suddenly became sensitive: "Hong Xiuquan, he disappeared for a long time!"

    "But this is consistent with the news we have received. We must act quickly." Prince Constantine said with a smile on his face: "Do you want to know why I would take such a risk? It's because of a job  Exact information."

    "Intelligence? Where did it come from?"

    ¡°Beijing!¡± Prince Konstantin told Muravyov: ¡°Our intelligence officers sent us the most valuable and extremely accurate information.¡±

    Compared with Britain and France, Russia has an advantage in intelligence work in China. Since the signing of the Treaty of Yaksa, the Russian Orthodox Church has always stationed a legal mission in Beijing. This mission has been conducting secret missions in China for more than a hundred years.  He worked hard and collected a lot of materials. Until the Hong Army invaded Beijing, some intelligence personnel of the Orthodox mission were still carrying out secret activities in Beijing.

    ? ??The Chinese sent a support force to Jinzhou, consisting of a total of eight thousand elite soldiers, carrying forty-seven artillery pieces, while we still had eight thousand garrison troops in Jinzhou and seventeen thousand Russians in Shengjing.  soldiers and thousands of Manchurian volunteers.  "

    Muravyov said disapprovingly: "We are sure to defeat this group of enemies, but there are more enemies who will cross the Great Wall!"

    "No!" Prince Constantine said: "The commander in charge of this Chinese army is their emperor, Butcher Liu!"
