Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The area to the west and southwest of Yekaterinburg is the first dense urban cluster in Tsarist Russia from east to west. There are not many cities in the northwest. Most of the cities on the Eastern European plains are concentrated in the area directly west and southwest of Yekaterinburg. Relying on Yekaterinburg, they march into the southwest.  Slaughtering Tsarist Russia was also Yang Meng's established strategy.  An army of more than three million people seems to be a lot, but it is still not enough to face the behemoth of Tsarist Russia. However, Yang Meng's victory was due to the speed of the advance. Within three months, they conquered thousands of miles of territory and slaughtered everyone.  Tens of millions of people, in Yang Meng's opinion, is not a difficult task. In three months, the entire Tsarist Russia will probably rise up to resist. At that time, it will be a real hard fight.  In the midst of a bitter battle, if the Eight Banners Army was thrown in with 500,000 men, it would probably take just a month to defeat them all.  Yang Meng dared to advance like this because he relied on something. He relied on the current level of weapons, rifles and artillery. Although most countries in the world today have popularized firearms, the exchange of hot and cold weapons still continues, and there is no rapid fire.  Cannons, machine guns, aircraft, tanks, these modern weapons, relying solely on rifles and front-loaded artillery, are greatly restricted whether it is offensive or defensive. The number of troops is the key to victory or defeat.  Of the three million troops that entered west of Yekaterinburg, one million were from Mongolia, and another one million were from West Asia. They truly belonged to the young and strong Qing Dynasty, only more than 600,000, and this was the result of previous troop increases.  .  Compared with the real Northwest Army, the age levels of the Mongolian Army and the West Asian Army are much more complicated, but regardless of age, these people have received military training and can shoot.  Cardboard Dresser.  Although it is not the most advanced rifle in the world.  But compared with Tsarist Russia's standard weapons, its superiority is still huge.  Not to mention the Mongolian legions, which are mainly cavalry, the miscellaneous West Asian legions alone, with twice the number, can block the elite legions of Tsarist Russia. If the number of the army is too small or too many, it is difficult to use any tactics. Faced with  A raging army of millions.  All tactics are not immediate. It is impossible for Tsarist Russia to deal with an army of millions of people moving step by step in the short term.  Without the support of European countries such as Britain and France, it would be impossible for Tsarist Russia to organize an army that could fight against aggression. If Tsarist Russia did not want to subjugate its country, the best option now is to maintain its military strength and retreat.  Once they confront Yang Meng's million-strong army, disaster for Tsarist Russia will truly come.  Fighting a war of attrition.  The first one who cannot afford to fight is probably Tsarist Russia!  The army entering the Eastern European plains, with hundreds of thousands of West Asian infantry as the vanguard and hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry as the backing, rushed into the hinterland of Tsarist Russia with an unstoppable momentum.  The several oncoming Tsarist Russian armies could not stop such an offensive at all. They would be defeated or annihilated. Relying on the captured Tsarist Russian map, the real massacre spread out from the city to the countryside, setting off a strong influence on the land of Tsarist Russia.  waves of blood.  Tsarist Russia was one step ahead of the Qing Dynasty and entered an era of exchange of hot and cold weapons. The introduction of hot weapons was also changing the layout of cities. Unlike the cities of the Qing Dynasty, most of the cities in Tsarist Russia did not have city walls, and the cities were undefendable.  , faced with a huge army, the only option is to be slaughtered.  After the city was lost, the small towns and villages below were even more vulnerable. After the army captured a few cities, they would turn back and slowly massacre the people of Tsarist Russia, using infantry as the blockade and cavalry as the main massacre. Such a battle  In this way, the unarmed people have no ability to stop it.  In one month, Zuo Jigaoshang was on his way back to Beijing. Guiziliu's army had just walked one-third of the way, but Zeng Disheng had already captured nearly twenty cities, and had acquired territory of more than a thousand miles.  The massacre was only the first step in the war. Yang Meng had no intention of occupying the hinterland of Tsarist Russia. Even if he occupied the land here, it would still be the territory of the Mongolian kings in the future. What he cared about was the wealth on these lands today.  "Serving as an official for thousands of miles is only for wealth, and fighting for thousands of miles is also for wealth. Siberia is enough to satisfy Yang Meng's appetite. Eastern Europe is not Yang Meng's meal, but the wealth of Eastern Europe is.  Tsarist Russia is a powerful country. Even if it loses Siberia, Tsarist Russia is still a powerful country. To destroy Tsarist Russia, today¡¯s Qing Dynasty has certain conditions, but it only has certain conditions. If it really wants to do this, Tsarist Russia will not be able to destroy Tsarist Russia and will fall apart.  But it is the country behind Yang Meng. The European world will not allow Tsarist Russia to be destroyed. Once the conflict between the Qing Dynasty and the European world is provoked, under the current conditions, the Qing Dynasty can only be divided into pieces.  Facing the whole of Europe, there is no advantage at sea, and the advantage of having more land soldiers will be swallowed up by the entire European army. Tsarist Russia cannot afford millions of land troops, but Europe can. The overall military level of the Qing Dynasty  Still lagging behind the European world and struggling, the only one who will die in the end is the Qing Dynasty.  But to weaken Tsarist Russia to a certain extent, the European world, whether it is Britain, France, Austria or Germany, is happy to hear that.It is obvious that as long as Yang Meng does not overly occupy the territory of Tsarist Russia, and as long as Tsarist Russia still has the ability to breathe, the European world will not directly participate in the war, and it is the most correct choice to give up when things are good.  For national-level looting, a railway should have been built, but time did not allow it. Fortunately, Yekaterinburg was not far from Kazakhstan, and land transportation could be considered to support the transportation of large-scale looting materials. Kazakhstan also had a large population, and they  Tsarist Russia is not welcome, and for a certain amount of looted materials, the vast majority of Kazakh people can be mobilized to participate in the transportation of materials.  Kazakhs have many nomadic groups, and both cattle and horses can participate in the transportation of materials. As long as they are organized properly, no matter how much they harvest, they can be transported out of Tsarist Russia.  Nearly three million troops have created the first thousand-mile no-man's land in one month. This is just the beginning. Maybe the army still has the strength to fight again, but Yang Meng, who is in the capital, has called a truce and gathered supplies.  A thousand birds in the forest is not as good as one in the hand. No matter how much territory you occupy to the west of the Ural Mountains, it is not your own. The materials that you can actually get are more important.  Zeng Zuo's timing to break through Yekaterinburg was very good. It was just when the crops in Tsarist Russia were in decline. This meant that in a few months, the army could still carry out an autumn harvest in Tsarist Russia. The Eastern European plains were Tsarist Russia's main grain-producing areas. As long as they entered Tsarist Russia,  Before winter, most of the grain-producing areas in the Eastern European plains are destroyed or occupied. Tsarist Russia will celebrate the New Year in tears this winter.  People all have bad tendencies. Killing and looting can especially trigger bad tendencies in people. If you kill too much, you will become more comfortable. If you pillage too much, you will no longer think about production. Killing and looting, Yang Meng has always let  The Mongols will serve as the main force. In the future, the new country established by the Mongolian kings will inevitably form a deadly feud with Tsarist Russia and conduct successive campaigns. It is also a good time to stir up hatred now.  After the army stopped killing, it mainly engaged in looting. The supplies from one city to another were sent to Yekaterinburg, and then passed through the hands of Kazakh civilians and transferred to Kazakhstan. After arriving in Kazakhstan, they were divided into batches and then transferred to the country from Kazakhstan.  The valuable items are naturally from the Qing Dynasty, and the fragmentary things are the rewards for transporting materials from Kazakhstan. The remaining materials that are difficult to transport are not wasted on Yang Meng's side. To build a Great Wall west of Yekaterinburg, the materials needed are also  Quite a bit, this is the basis for the Mongolian kings to resist the Russian counterattack in the future. As for where to build it, it is not something Yang Meng needs to plan. It depends on the ambition of the Mongolian kings. If they are ambitious enough, even if they build this Great Wall  Yang Meng had no objection to it being built on the outskirts of Moscow. This thing depended on the vision of the Mongolian kings.  Compared with the orderly advance and retreat of the frontline troops, Tsarist Russia was much more chaotic. Tsarist Russia still can¡¯t figure out how the Qing had such combat capability. Tsarist Russia¡¯s defense direction has always been towards European countries, and the Qing Dynasty was in Tsarist Russia.  In the eyes of Shang Xia, there is no threat at all. The war has reached this point, and many people still can't figure out the key.  In the opinion of everyone in Tsarist Russia, the Qing's attack on Tsarist Russia was just a bluff, and the so-called winter war was also specious. Who would have thought that the Qing army would be able to break through Yekaterinburg soon after the beginning of spring?  Today¡¯s Tsarist Russia cannot support a war involving millions of people!  Panic, the whole country is panicking, unable to stop or throw away, facing the embarrassing scene on the Eastern European plains, the Tsar is waiting. Judging from the balance of power in Europe, Britain, France, Germany and Austria will not sit back and watch Tsarist Russia be destroyed by the Qing Dynasty.  , instead of asking for help, it is better to wait for the four countries of Britain, France, Germany and Austria to take the initiative. Politics is also a very helpless game!  So far, the war reports in Tsarist Russia have been limited to the day when Yekaterinburg was lost. The subsequent battle reports, either because of panic or because of the massacre by the Qing army, have not reached the top brass of Tsarist Russia, but any massacre will have  Survivors or escapees. When the survivors and escapees in the east brought the news to Moscow, the entire top brass of Tsarist Russia was shocked.  More than a dozen cities were captured, and massacres were staged everywhere. The Qing Dynasty¡¯s move was to destroy Tsarist Russia!  Waiting has become a thing of the past. After hearing the news, Tsarist Russia became busy and asked for help everywhere. But asking for help also takes time. No matter which country it is, Britain, France, Germany, and Austria, Tsarist Russia wants to get substantial assistance.  It will take almost half a year.  For half a year, Tsarist Russia could not afford to wait. It prepared for war. Facing countless millions of Qing troops, the Tsarist Russian military was extremely embarrassed. After the Crimean War, Tsarist Russia was no longer able to organize an army of millions.  , the current season is also extremely bad, and there is not much food in stock in Tsarist Russia. Once the war starts, the grain-producing areas of the Eastern European plains will be affected, and there will be a large-scale food shortage across the country. The impact will not be on the last two years, but once it is gone  Due to its demographic advantage, it would be difficult for Tsarist Russia to rise.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
