    Standing on a sea ship, watching the Qing Dynasty build a large-scale construction project in the midst of the war, perhaps this ridiculous behavior was the only way for the commanders and envoys of Britain and Russia to comfort themselves.  [ After Yang Meng returned to Jinkou, there were more and more British and Russian warships on the sea at the Royal Academy of Sciences construction site. They showed no signs of taking action, but every day there were many people standing on the deck looking at the construction site with monocular telescopes.  .  "Sigh A telegram will be sent to you if you succeed or if you fail! Maybe after these people learn about the war situation in the northwest, they won't be able to find a way out even if they cry, right? Enjoy the condescension now! This kind of time will never happen in the future! Inform the northwest and speed up.  Clean up the British troops in Afghanistan, send people from the three khanates to instigate Kazakhstan, and prepare for war with Tsarist Russia. Tell Zuo Jigao to fight step by step! "Get ready to drive back to Beijing!" If the British and Russian commanders knew the situation in the northwest, maybe  People who have not experienced it will not know how important telegraphs are to war. Although telegraphs were used in the Crimean War, none of Britain, France, and Russia had Yang Meng.  So clearly the benefits of real-time battle reporting.  The speed with which Zuo Jigao wiped out the four northwest khanates was definitely the fastest in the world. When Tsarist Russia found out that something was wrong, the war would probably spread to the mainland. Fighting against Tsarist Russia, Yang Meng never thought that the battle would be successful.  , a war to destroy the country in three to five years is just the minimum prediction. If not, this war will last for more than ten years.  The war against Tsarist Russia can be said to be militaristic in the following years.  The people of the Qing Dynasty will suffer.  Supporting a war involving millions of people.  Even though Yang Meng put a lot of thought into food, the people of the Qing Dynasty would still struggle with hunger in the next few years.  The national power of the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia are about the same. Although the cash and silver in Yang Meng's hands are enough to support such a war, the demand for gold and silver in such a war is very small. Food, materials, and supplies are more useful than gold and silver.  many.  An all-out war with Tsarist Russia was launched, with Britain and France supporting Tsarist Russia behind the scenes.  It was something to be expected. After the battle report from the northwest reached Jinkou, it was inevitable that Britain would bow its head. In the war between the Qing Dynasty and the British and French forces, it was not Britain and France who were dragged into the quagmire, but Tsarist Russia, the unlucky guy.  Fighting for population, fighting for national strength, and fighting for attrition are the themes of this war. There is no shortcut at all. Preparing for the war to safeguard the country and the country of the Qing Dynasty is Yang Meng's next task.  The people's tolerance for war is limited, and there are millions of people on the front line.  Tens of millions of people in the rear had to serve in the war, and the Qing Dynasty did not have enough national power.  Yang Meng did not want to bear such a war alone. Yang Meng could contribute firearms and supplies, but the huge military salary still required money from the court, and the court's financial source was taxation. Although this war did not require much gold and silver.  , but the military expenditure required is not small, about one billion or billions of taels of silver, right?  Although these silver coins were circulated in the Qing Dynasty, someone had to come out, right?  Yang Meng did not continue the mission of the Qing Dynasty. It was his mission to fundamentally destroy the Qing Dynasty. However, it was necessary to protect the Qing Dynasty in the near future and let the Qing court shoulder the burden of dividing Tsarist Russia. The new country must  We cannot bear the reputation of aggression!  Yang Meng¡¯s general plan against Tsarist Russia was very clear to Zuo Mulezi. Although they did not support the national war between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia, Zuo Mulezi in the northwest could not influence the overall situation at all.  Not to mention Yang Laosan¡¯s connection in the army, but the second son of the Du family is not someone Zuo Mule can deal with casually. The three khanates in Central Asia are easy to conquer. Basically, wherever the army goes, they must surrender and kill.  The manpower obtained is limited, and the situation in Afghanistan is similar. The number of British troops stationed in Afghanistan, together with the local troops in England and Afghanistan, is only tens of thousands. By sending an army of 50,000, Afghanistan can easily be reorganized.  In the current political situation, the decision Zuo Mulezi now has to face is how to deal with Kazakhstan.  Although Kazakhstan is a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, it happened decades ago. Today, Kazakhstan is a serious land of Tsarist Russia. Once the northwest army enters Kazakhstan first, it will be confirmed and the troops will be unknown. This is a taboo for military strategists.  !  Fortunately, Tsarist Russia gave the left mule room to operate. Regarding the rule of Kazakhstan, Tsarist Russia also focused on exploitation. Most of the population of Kazakhstan relied on nomadic herding for a living, and the gains from nomadism were not very rich. During this period, Tsarist Russia  There were also frequent wars there, and the heavy taxes also made many Kazakhs intolerable. They bribed the Kazakh people and made them defect. This provoked the Tsarist Russian army to take the lead in entering the three khanates in Central Asia. This was the division that Zuo Mulezi sought.  Once the army of Tsarist Russia enters the transit of the three khanates in Central Asia, the national war will begin.  Stationing troops around Kazakhstan and instigating Kazakhstan¡¯s domestic strength to move eastward and rebel is what Zuo Mulezi is planning recently.The thing is, Kazakhstan is inextricably linked to Mongolia. Zuo Mulezi also has the power to promise the position of a Central Asian Khan.  Qian Quan is charming. With the promise of the Governor of the Qing Dynasty, the Kazakh nobles are also very helpful. As a former vassal state, the Kazakh nobles are somewhat disappointed with the Qing Dynasty, but they are not desperate. Zuo Jigao, Governor of Gansu and Shaanxi  , destroyed three Central Asian khanates in one month, and advanced the army into Afghanistan. Although this news did not reach Jinkou, many people in Kazakhstan still knew about it.  As a border citizen, it is a matter of course to choose whichever one is stronger. Today, hundreds of thousands of people from the Qing Dynasty are stationed on the Kazakh border. Even without Zuo Mule's instigation and the heavy taxes from Tsarist Russia, many people would still fall in favor.  Of the Qing Dynasty.  Kazakhstan's changes soon triggered a counterattack by Tsarist Russia. Tsarist Russia was a country that expanded externally and attached great importance to its territory. There was no need to wait for domestic permission. Tsarist Russia's governor of Siberia directly sent troops to suppress the Kazakh rebellion and block the Kazakh movement.  Population moved eastward.  People left wherever they wanted was an aggressive policy of Tsarist Russia against the Qing Dynasty. The larger the population, the greater the tax revenue. During the Qianlong period, the Torgut tribe could not bear the oppression and returned to the Qing Dynasty. It was also a shame for Tsarist Russia and blocked them.  The population of Kazakhstan moved eastward, for the governor of Siberia in Tsarist Russia.  Far more important than suppressing rebellion.  Want to prevent the Kazakh tribe from migrating eastward.  Counterinsurgency is only one of them.  The most important thing is to deal with the Qing army stationed in the three khanates of Central Asia. Taking action against Kazakhstan is an internal affair of Tsarist Russia. The governor of Siberia has the power to make decisions, but taking action against the Qing army in the three khanates in Central Asia requires domestic consent.  .  The so -called Chengye Telegraph is also a telegram. There are still telegrams in China, and domestic rapid intelligence transmission.  The slow transmission of intelligence abroad allowed Tsarist Russia to make wrong judgments about the situation.  France has the greatest advantage in getting intelligence from the Far East to Europe. It takes one month, while England takes about one and a half months. But for Tsarist Russia to obtain battle reports from the Jinkou front, two months is only the shortest time limit. If it is delayed a little, three months is not a very long time.  slow.  France withdraws from the war.  Britain cannot sustain itself alone, and intelligence shows that now is a good time for Tsarist Russia to seek maximum interests in the Far East.  Although there is no such proverb in Europe to provide help in times of need, there are still things with roughly the same meaning.  Tsarist Russia has long been eyeing Ili and Mongolia in the Qing Dynasty. Now the Qing Dynasty is provoking the first provocation. For them, this is the best opportunity, an opportunity to quickly expand their territory.  The war report from the Governor of Siberia arrived, and the response in Tsarist Russia was extremely rapid. The declaration of war and the dispatch of troops were all completed within three days.  In declaring war on the Qing Dynasty, Tsarist Russia was in a hurry and did not take advantage of the delicate situation in Central Asia. Instead, it used the excuse that the Tsarist Russian mercenaries who participated in the war at Jinkou suffered heavy losses.  When the war started against the Qing Dynasty, they should have submitted a declaration of war, but there was no time. Tsarist Russia only publicized it in European newspapers and then turned all its attention to Central Asia.  Regarding the battle situation in Jinkou, the intelligence in Tsarist Russia is still two months ago. The British-Russian coalition forces and the Qing army are in a confrontation. If this intelligence is followed, the Tsarist Russian army advancing into Central Asia or Ili will undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to the Jinkou front line.  Support, maybe the Qing government will sign an alliance under the city. By then, Tsarist Russia will not only acquire the land in the northwest of the Qing Dynasty, but Mongolia and the Northeast will change hands. It is expected!  The outbreak of war is never based on justice. Without certain interests, fools will rush to start a war!  Starting a war in Central Asia can now maximize the interests of Tsarist Russia, so there is no need for battle reports from the Jinkou front line. It has become a consensus among Tsarist Russia to start a war in Central Asia quickly.  The Siberian cavalry troops advanced very quickly. With the support of the Kazakh nobles and a simple telegraph network, Zuo Mule was half an era ahead of Tsarist Russia in terms of intelligence. Facing the fierce Tsarist Russian army, Zuo Mule was  Instead of choosing to fight, they opened a hole in the northwest of the Qing Dynasty, exposing the entire Ili to the vanguard of Tsarist Russia.  Unlike the Manchu and Qing court, Yang Meng had very little restraint on the military commanders. It was up to him how he wanted to fight the battle!  But Yang Meng had the control of the army firmly in his hands. Under Yang Meng's will, the commander could attack him at will. Once Yang Meng's will was exceeded, both Zuo Luozi and Zeng Disheng were just dead men in the army.  .  Zuo Luozi gave up Yili. Yang Meng had no objections. The army also recognized Zuo Luozi's military order. The war started and the territory was invaded as a reason, but this was not enough. Without a certain number of casualties, it was also very difficult.  It is difficult for the entire northwest to share the same hatred.  Although the Yang family has been in the northwest for a few years, their control over the northwest is far less stringent than that in the southwest. Under the pressure of huge force,Under the control of the Yellow Emperor, the northwest chose to bow its head, but the forces of resistance are still there. Even with Du Wenxiu's theory of the Yellow Emperor's derivation, the situation in the northwest is still undercurrent.  "Some people cannot be killed casually, even Yang Meng. Many families in the northwest have religion behind them. If they choose to bow their heads, Yang Meng will win over and show favor, whether they are sincere or fake.  In the northwest area, only many civilians were involved in Du Wenxiu. Most of the family forces and religious forces of large and small family chose to be virtual and commissioned.  Yang Laosan¡¯s policy towards the northwest was supported by Zuo Mulezi. Du Wenxiu acted unfavorably, and the responsibility did not entirely lie with Du Wenxiu. The cunning and difficult local forces were also one of the reasons for the undercurrent in the northwest.  These things must be solved eventually. Yang Meng's method is to slowly eliminate them. Opening the door to welcome the invasion of Tsarist Russia is also a good opportunity to solve these hidden dangers. Letting the northwest share the same hatred is Zuo Mulezi's mission to eliminate these hidden dangers in the northwest.  , is also the task of Zuo Mulezi. Killing people with a borrowed knife is a means of maximizing profits. Of course, the insidious Zuo Mulezi will not give up such an opportunity.  Taking advantage of the break between Tsarist Russia's march, Zuo Mulezi and Du Wenxiu also started working in the northwest. It was easy to find a reason to gather the large and small religious forces in the northwest. There was no better reason to divide the territory. The large and small families and religious forces in the northwest,  They would not let go of such an opportunity. It would be easy for Zuo Mulezi and Du Wenxiu to organize a conference to carve up the northwest territory on the only way the Tsarist Russian army must pass.  As for whether these people will be killed by the Tsarist Russian army or by Zuo Mule's men and horses, it doesn't matter. It's just that these people have to die. As long as people die, the people and religious people in the northwest will naturally share the same hatred!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
