    The battle of Vladimir was a complete victory for Tsarist Russia, but only Tsarist Russia and Yang Meng knew the victory or defeat. The Eight Banners New Army was wiped out, and the most powerful among the Mongolian kings was wiped out. Regardless of the outcome of the battle, Yang Meng was regarded as the winner.  Victory, in terms of results, Yang Meng used a million men and horses to exchange for more than five million casualties of Tsarist Russia, three million of which were young men of Tsarist Russia. Based on this ratio, Yang Meng still won.  But the result of the war was not based on these figures. It was also true that one million elite Qing troops were annihilated under the city of Vladimir. This meant that Tsarist Russia had achieved an unprecedented victory.  The scale of such a war is unmatched by the previous Crimean War. Nearly 10 million troops were invested at one time, with six to seven million casualties. The source of this kind of war was Yang Meng, and short-range artillery and single-shot rifles were  This is the basis for Yang Meng to launch this kind of war, and it is also a trap set by Yang Meng.  If the war on Tsarist Russia's side cannot end smoothly, and Tsarist Russia or the European side seeks a fight to the death, this war model may be the choice they have to make. When they gather an army of this size, when they really  Only when you face Yang Meng's bloody methods will you realize how terrible the consequences of imitating others are.  These are just Yang Meng's conjectures. As far as the current war situation is concerned, both Tsarist Russia and the Russian troops need a temporary rest and recuperation. Tsarist Russia has suffered too much losses during this period. Such losses cannot be achieved without decades of recuperation.  It is difficult to recover. Today's Tsarist Russia is afraid that it has no strength to fight anymore. Although Tsarist Russia is tempting, there is a frightening Europe behind it.  After paying millions of casualties in the Russian expedition, it is inevitable that the morale of the army will fluctuate, and the territory of Tsarist Russia that was previously consolidated will be lost.  No looting has been carried out yet.  A truce would be beneficial to both sides.  It's just that what Yang Meng wants is not Tsarist Russia. Searching for property and planning the future for New Mongolia also requires a cessation of war.  But if you want to stop, you can't show weakness. After killing five waves of peace negotiation teams on the Tsarist Russian side, and with the intervention of Britain, France, Germany and Austria, Zeng Disheng on the Tsarist Russian front reluctantly agreed.  requested a temporary ceasefire.  The conditions are also simple. Maintain the current situation of Tsarist Russia. Once Tsarist Russia's army crosses the Volga and Dvina river basins, the armistice agreement will be declared to end.  Although Tsarist Russia is extremely reluctant, there is a saying that goes, the situation is stronger than the people. Today, the population of Tsarist Russia has dropped from the previous 120 million to 670 million.  There are only tens of millions of young people in the country.  If a war like Vladimir's was fought two or three more times, the entire ethnic group in Tsarist Russia would be exterminated.  Moreover, the arms aid from Europe have not yet arrived, and Tsarist Russia today does not have the ability to continue the war. If there is three to five months of easing, maybe Tsarist Russia can organize an army of several million people. Now it chooses to force  The defense was absolutely stupid. In desperation, Tsarist Russia could only watch the Qing army from a distance, constantly cutting down their forests, constantly picking up piles of fish and shrimp from the Volga River, and constantly demolishing them.  They have been running cities for thousands of years.  Zeng Disheng, the commander-in-chief of the Qing Dynasty¡¯s Russian army, agreed to a truce, but the peace negotiations had to be held in the Qing capital. From Tsarist Russia to the Qing capital, it took at least three months by land, and the sea route was even longer. The missions of integrating European countries  It would take at least four or five months for the group to board a ship and set off to reach the capital of the Qing Dynasty.  There is no doubt that the Qing Dynasty is stalling for time. The armistice has been successfully reached. European countries are also happy to see Tsarist Russia weakened. However, with the participation of European powers such as Britain, France, Germany and Austria, this war will be difficult to continue. As long as Tsarist Russia  Immortality, other things can be discussed, but this negotiation is based on the loss of Tsarist Russia.  European countries were happy to watch the show, and Tsarist Russia was unable to counterattack. The situation remained awkward. In order to avoid the peace talks taking too long, European countries were discussing the composition of their missions.  Once the peace talks delegation fails to reach an agreement with the Qing government on some matters, it is likely to lead to the collapse of Tsarist Russia's internal political situation. Although European countries are happy to see Tsarist Russia weakened, they do not want to see Tsarist Russia fully surrender to the Qing Dynasty.  .  The reason is also simple. Tsarist Russia is a country that connects Europe and Asia. Once Tsarist Russia becomes a vassal of the Qing Dynasty, the war for revenge of the Qing Dynasty will be burned directly to Europe. Among them, Germany and France are the most tense. The distance between Germany and Tsarist Russia is too close. Once the Qing Dynasty sends troops  , Germany will inevitably be involved in the war, and France is even more nervous. The Mediterranean is France's weakness. Once the Qing army enters the Mediterranean, they can directly attack the French mainland.  The geography of Tsarist Russia is very wonderful. The side of the Balkan Peninsula that connects to the Black Sea is the territory of Tsarist Russia. Once this land is occupied by the Qing Dynasty, war will be very close to France.  Most of the other small European countries are planning to get involved with the great empires in the East. War between empires, especially this war involving millions of people, is not a game that these small countries can afford.? Not to mention participating in the war, even such a large army passing through these countries will bring disaster.  The evil deeds of the Qing army to massacre the population in Tsarist Russia were deliberately ignored by European countries. This is the key to the matter. A country like the Qing Dynasty is too terrifying for Europe now. Once the war breaks out in Europe, once the war breaks out in Europe,  Who can bear it if the Qing Dynasty continues such a war?  But at the beginning of the war, the Qing Dynasty launched the banner of revenge. This is morally justified. Although it is a bit unreasonable, all countries can understand the Qing Dynasty's mood. They understand, but no one wants such a war to happen.  occurs in the country.  The most critical issue cannot be discussed openly. There is no doubt about the strength of the Qing Dynasty. A strong country has the dignity of a strong country. Once such evil deeds are mentioned during peace talks, European countries are also afraid that the Qing Dynasty will become angry!  Wherever there is a peace faction, there is also a war faction. Whether it is Britain, France, Germany, Austria or Tsarist Russia, we can all see the shortcomings of the Qing Dynasty. The navy is the weakness of the Qing Dynasty, and the long sea territory of the Qing Dynasty is also its natural flaw.  While the European military faction was actively preparing for peace talks, the European military's main war faction was also actively planning ways to counterattack the Qing Dynasty.  But all this requires time to prepare. Launching a counterattack against the Qing regiment on land only requires more than half a year of preparation, while attacking the Qing from the sea will take at least a year. In one year,  For the navies of various European countries, it is still a bit hasty. It will take one and a half or two years for the navies of various European countries to be ready to launch a large-scale maritime war against the Qing Dynasty.  With the comprehensive armistice in Tsarist Russia and the formation of diplomatic missions from various countries, the contradiction between the warring faction and the peace faction in European countries is slowly intensifying. The main reason for the intensification of the contradiction is the issue of time. Looking at the current situation in Tsarist Russia  Look, it is absolutely impossible for Tsarist Russia to last for one and a half to two years.  The grain-producing areas of the Eastern European plains were a lifeline for Tsarist Russia. Once the Eastern European plains were controlled by the Qing Dynasty for a long time, Tsarist Russia would face a nationwide food crisis. As a big country in Europe, Tsarist Russia had always exported grain. Once Tsarist Russia  The domestic food shortage is bound to affect the food supply in Europe.  As for Tsarist Russia, which has lost the plains of Eastern Europe, the food gap is extremely terrifying. Nowadays, most of the 60 to 70 million people left in Tsarist Russia have to eat food from abroad. There is a food gap of at least 40 million people. For European countries,  It is also a burden that is not easy to bear.  If you want to launch a war, you must have sufficient food reserves. However, there is a large area of ??food shortage in Tsarist Russia. If Tsarist Russia is abandoned and ignored, the Qing will have the opportunity to instigate rebellion against Tsarist Russia. Once Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty abandon their old grudges over food and join hands to attack the entire Europe.  Going to war means irreversible disaster.  But if the Qing Dynasty does not launch a naval war, the Qing Dynasty will definitely take advantage of the peace negotiations with Tsarist Russia. Today¡¯s intelligence shows that in Tsarist Russia, the area west of the Volga River and the Dvina River has become completely uninhabited by Tsarist Russia.  District, to put it more clearly, this territory has now become the possession of the Qing Dynasty.  If left unchecked and the Qing Dynasty can successfully swallow up most of Tsarist Russia's territory, it may not be impossible for the Qing army to use the same methods as Tsarist Russia to deal with other European countries one day in the future. The expansion of the empire is uncontrolled, especially the Qing Dynasty.  Once the viciousness of such an ancient empire is fully unleashed, the entire world will probably become its colony.  The reason is unclear. With the confrontation between the war faction and the peace faction, many conjectures have been raised. The peace negotiation that many European countries advocated before has become a bit useless. To curb the development of the Qing Dynasty, it has become an outlier.  European countries other than Tsarist Russia had to carefully consider factors.  There are ready-made examples in Europe. Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and England are all countries that have expanded wantonly after their rise. A new generation has replaced the old ones. Although the maritime powers before England are in decline, England's  There is no doubt that it is powerful.  Nowadays, a land power is rapidly rising in the East. If it is not contained, the maritime empire of England will probably become the defeat of the Qing Dynasty. The crisis has allowed many people to foresee the future. Peace talks are no longer important. How to contain the rising Qing Dynasty?  , has become an unshirkable responsibility for European politicians. The peace negotiations have not yet begun, but have already changed. Tsarist Russia will become a victim of this European game no matter what.  After the armistice, the peace negotiation missions from various European countries have not set off. This not only made Tsarist Russia extremely anxious, but also aroused Yang Meng's suspicion. Yang Meng did not think too deeply about the previous war against Russia. Combined with the commercial investigation team,  According to recent news from Tsarist Russia, the situation is not very good for Yang Meng. Once the main war factions of European countries gain the upper hand, a world war will break out in advance, and the Qing Dynasty will become the focus. This is consistent with  The interests of Yang Meng's plan are extremely inconsistent.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
