    "Butcher Liu?" Muravijoch couldn't control his emotions. He unbuttoned the collar of his clothes and said anxiously: "Your Highness, why haven't you made a decision yet? Your stance is too mild!"

    ¡°This is the best opportunity for the Russian Empire. We will have the opportunity to take over the entire Yellow Russia!¡±

    Prince Constantine asked uneasily: "This is a difficult choice. If we lose, we will have nothing and return to the territory drawn up for us by Peter the Great!"

    A few minutes ago, Muravyoch thought that Prince Constantine was too radical, but now he said very excitedly: "Send every Russian and every Cossack up, every rifle and every bayonet.  Send them all up, and we have to pull up every war horse, every barrel of gunpowder, and even every woman. This is the most glorious page in Russian history!"

    He patted Prince Constantine on the shoulder and said: "We will form an absolute military advantage over the rebels, believe me believe in God!"

    "God bless you."

    With these words of Constantine, the flow of cars and people continued to move southward, forming the strongest iron flow in Russia in the Far East.

    ***************************************************  **********

    Almost at the same moment, the main force of the Hong Army's First Army had crossed Shanhaiguan and was walking on the corridor between Yujin and Jin.

    The scenery inside the pass is different from that outside the pass. It is midsummer, but the officers and soldiers can feel the chill of the northern country. Even the sky is a little gloomy. Most of the officers come from Jiangnan or Anhui and Henan, which are places with more people but less people.  area, they looked at the magnificent mountains and rivers in great amazement.

    If you are in the pass, you can see extremely dense villages, one after another, and there are always people in your field of vision.  But this is on a cold road, and there are few villages. Even if you can find one or two families, you will not see the figure of a mature man in these families.  I don¡¯t even know where to start when I want to replenish supplies.

    This is a completely new situation in combat. Both officers and soldiers feel a deep loneliness in this strange northern country, not to mention the gloomy weather in the sky.

    "Your Majesty, leave the issues outside the customs to me and Commander Qu!"

    The speaker was Zhou Xiuying, commander of the cavalry army. She followed closely beside Liu Chang: "Mobilizing two army commanders in a mere Jinzhou is already making a fuss. If His Majesty has to do it himself, that would be outrageous!"

    Liu Chang did not smile as usual, but looked at the north with a serious look. This army may be a large army, but in the wilderness outside the pass, it looks very small. It can only be said to be a giant in the wilderness.  A few specks of dust.

    The entire army consists of two infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment, with several artillery and cavalry transport units attached. If it is in the battle within the pass.  These 7,400 warriors are a very effective force, and can even sweep across an entire province, but in the wilderness outside the pass.  Liu Chang felt a heavy pressure.

    "Commander Zhou, this is my mission!"

    Zhou Xiuying urged the war horse to move and said: "I know this is Xi Na's responsibility. Who told him to send the Second Infantry Regiment to Rehe! But we are enough, really enough. If you can't believe me, why don't you still  Can¡¯t you trust the first group?¡±

    The core of the entire army is not other units, but the First Infantry Regiment, which has performed most outstandingly throughout the war, also known as the "Dragon Spear Regiment". This starting unit of the Hong Army has the best equipment and the best soldiers.  .  The best officer and the highest morale, so Qu Jie did not give up the battle due to a slightly smaller number of troops.

    But Zhou Xiuying knew clearly that this man was the top priority of the entire Hong Army: "Your Majesty, believe me! You take two cavalry companies back to Beijing to take charge. Maybe you will meet someone from Rehe on the way.  The second infantry regiment is coming over."

    Speaking of which, the Second Infantry Regiment moved to fight in Jehol.  This was the thing that annoyed Zhou Xiuying the most. In view of the tense situation in Rehe, Xina, who was left behind in Beijing, arbitrarily transferred a detachment and the second infantry regiment to the direction of Rehe. As a result, he only had one infantry regiment in hand.  That's all, but when Liu Chang entered Beijing, news came that the Jinzhou battle had been frustrated.

    Neither he nor Qu Jie expected that Liu Chang would be so determined on the Jinzhou issue. He only stayed in Beijing for one day, and without even having a good rest, he led the Second Cavalry Regiment, the Second Infantry Regiment and  The troops with the 62nd Infantry Regiment as the backbone immediately left the border to fight, and some troops had to prepare to leave the border again before even entering Beijing.

    "When the Second Infantry Regiment will turn to the direction of Jinzhou, that is not a question I am considering!" Liu Chang replied to Zhou Xiuying: "The question I am thinking about is how to capture Jinzhou and then take??The whole outside the customs!¡±

    His expression suddenly became excited: "Miss Xiu, what you don't understand is that this is my mission! A mission that I can't get rid of."

    Zhou Xiuying has never seen Liu Chang so excited. Liu Chang held the reins tightly: "Siberia, Sakhalin, Mongolia, and many, many places. Those are the places where I am destined to bleed. This is my mission."  Oh, I can't lose them!"

    ¡°Don¡¯t throw away an inch of soil!¡±

    Liu Chang continued: "This is more important than the throne, more than life, more important than everything else"

    He suddenly extended a hand to Zhou Xiuying: "I hope I can walk with you!"

    ¡°Let¡¯s go together!¡±

    Zhou Xiuying's face had a trace of rosiness. He had never seen Liu Chang be so stubborn, nor had he ever seen Liu Chang have such a martyr-like look on his face.

    She didn¡¯t know what was the mission that Liu Chang couldn¡¯t get rid of, she just thought: ¡°I am willing to walk with you, even if it means death!¡±

    The whole person fell silent. Except for the sound of neat footsteps, the sky became silent. Zhou Xiuying even had a suspicion that a large group of Russian cavalry would emerge from this wilderness like a tide, and then attack this tired army.  army.

    You know, this army started from Henan and Shandong and walked thousands of miles along the way. Some units even moved for 1,600 to 700 miles. Although they are the best combat units in the Hong Army, these long-distance marches also make them  Became numb and even exhausted.

    "I don't know what kind of group of soldiers will appear after the gunshots are fired. Zhou Xiuying looked at the gloomy sky in the distance, and suddenly had a bad premonition: "I am willing to go with you. Your Majesty, please check!"

    She preferred the original checkpoint to that cold Majesty, and Liu Chang had no intention of correcting her mistake. Zhou Xiuying continued: "Our battle near Jinzhou may be a very difficult battle, and we have no control over the situation there.  The terrain is unfamiliar.¡±

    "Heishan, Dahu Mountain, Jinzhou, Tashan, Huludao" Liu Chang said meaningfully: "I know a lot about these place names, please believe me."

    Zhou Xiuying asked another question: "What was the half poem you wrote before leaving Beijing? The Long March is not an embarrassing day, but the war is a big problem. Every time I hear the eagle bullies a big bird, the kun and the rooster laugh and the eagle is not  I only understand one thing, Zhan Jinfang is a big problem"

    Liu Chang did not directly answer Zhou Xiuying's question. He just looked at the empty wilderness in the distance: "What do you think of this place outside the pass?"

    "The land is fertile, the forests are dense, the water is sweet, it is indeed a land of abundance!" Zhou Xiuying followed Liu Chang's words and said: "It's a pity that the Manchus didn't manage it well!"

    Liu Chang said loudly on the horse: "This is the land and house I gave to the soldiers. All soldiers who participate in this battle, regardless of their origin, can get their own land and house outside the customs. Do you see this black soil?"

    "I see it, I see it!" The tense and even numb mood of the soldiers suddenly became joyful. Most of them were ordinary Chinese farmers and small citizens, and they naturally knew the significance of a land and house to their families.  .

    "Every soldier who participates in the war, even if he fires only one bullet, can get at least thirty acres of fertile land. Meritorious soldiers can get more. Look at this black land!"

    The fatigue of the officers and soldiers from fighting suddenly disappeared without a trace. Some soldiers simply grabbed a handful of this fertile black soil with their own hands. It is indeed the most fertile soil. In Guan, such land is definitely worth every inch of land.  It¡¯s unknown how much it would cost to purchase an acre of land like this.

    But outside the pass, such land can be found everywhere. According to His Majesty, it is equal to the fertile fields of five or six provinces within the pass. Therefore, the soldiers all cheered and the stones in their hearts suddenly disappeared.

    "But the enemy's strength still exceeds ours!" Zhou Xiuying's horse followed Liu Chang closely. She talked about her worries: "I heard that the Russian barbarian soldiers crossing the river were said to be one hundred thousand people, but the actual number is  There are at least 40,000 to 50,000 people, there are 4,000 barbarian soldiers in Jinzhou City, and there are about 30,000 barbarian soldiers in Shengjing, and our combined strength is only just over 10,000. I have heard people say that Youyun Yihen."

    This was the most helpless and painful period in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. Not only did the Northern Expeditions end in vain, but in the end even Zhao Guangyi almost ran out, but Liu Chang said: "This black land is ours, this is mine  mission!"

    "Our" Zhou Xiuying quickly discovered the language flaw in Liu Chang's mouth: "Our land, our mission"

    The two of them walked together under the setting sun, but their leisurely time was soon interrupted when a fast rider from behind loudly reported: "The Second Infantry Regiment came from Jehol all the way through the starry night, and we are only a day and a half away!"  "

    ? ?Chang nodded, and another ranger came from the north to report: "The Jinzhou Rakshasa soldiers are out in full force, and the vanguard of their cavalry has arrived in Jinzhou. Division Commander Chen Yucheng and Brigadier Ren Zhu ask Your Majesty to be fully prepared!"

    Liu Chang didn¡¯t say anything. Zhou Xiuying grabbed his hand. This was the first time. She said softly: ¡°Let¡¯s go to Jinzhou together. This is our mission!¡±.  .  )
