Time: Spring of 1665 Location: Lake Baikal, later Irkutsk region Xinhan in the south is immersed in development, while Siberia has ushered in spring, but for Tsarist Russia, it is better to hope that spring will never come. Because those terrible battlefield butchers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty would start eating just like the hungry bears after hibernation; and the food was their territory of Tsarist Russia, and the ingredients were the soldiers and people of Tsarist Russia. In the past few years, the battle lines between Tsarist Russia and the Manchu Qing Dynasty have been advancing and retreating. Tsarist Russia has always been at a disadvantage on the frontal battlefield. Although it has a huge army and attached dexterous legions, the actual battle line has been slowly retreating during the battle. Lake Baikal had been thrown behind the battle lines and was surrounded by the Qing Dynasty's sphere of influence. The strongholds that Tsarist Russia built around Lake Baikal during its eastward invasion fell into the hands of the Manchus after they began to develop into cities. A large number of people and materials in Tsarist Russia were placed under the management of the Qing Dynasty. This Manchu and Qing spring offensive was different from the past. The Tsarist Russian army in Irkutsk was preparing to face the Manchu and Qing offensive as in previous years. However, it was discovered that the Manchu and Qing army's attack revealed an indescribable secret. Strangely, although the official attack was still fierce, it lost a bit of the pressure that every attack in the past few years had brought to them. The intensity of the attack was much weaker than before. Could it be that the Qing Dynasty was unable to succeed? The Tsarist Russians could not help but speculate this, but this speculation was quickly shattered by reality. While Tsarist Russia was uncertain about the situation of the Manchus, Kangxi was assembling the largest and most elite army that had not been formed since the confrontation between the Yangtze River and the Dominion after the Manchus entered the customs. The New Han Dynasty made it clear that they would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, so according to Kangxi's judgment, it had become meaningless to continue to deploy a large number of elites on the border between Manchu and Han Dynasty. At least they would be defeated in Tsarist Russia, or be decisively hit; or the Manchu Qing Dynasty The New Han Empire would not advance northward until it was defeated by Tsarist Russia. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was sandwiched between Tsarist Russia and New Han Dynasty, but did not have the margin of the New Han Empire, nor did it have the huge strategic depth of Tsarist Russia. Faced with the endless war with Tsarist Russia that had developed into an endless war, Kangxi knew that the Manchu Qing could not afford to fail. , he doesn¡¯t have many chips. He now regrets his decision to underestimate Tsarist Russia and easily order the northern advance. But now that the matter has come to this, Kangxi can only strive for victory with all his strength. As for the possibility that the New Han Dynasty would take the opportunity to advance north after the defense in the south was transferred, Kangxi could not care about it. Instead of fighting on two fronts, in the end both sides could not care about it. They first concentrated their efforts to defeat one enemy, and then turned around to face the other. The method of holding down the enemy allowed the Manchu Qing to have more maneuvers on the ground. Afterwards, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had completed its assembly, launched an unprecedented offensive against Tsarist Russia. Both in terms of quality and quantity, the attacking troops were difficult for Tsarist Russia, which had been accustomed to the Manchu Qing's past offensive intensity, to resist. Kangxi defeated the troops assembled in Iraq without any accident. Russian troops in Irkutsk. The defeated army that pursued Tsarist Russia all the way into Siberia was blocked by the reassembled army of Tsarist Russia. A large-scale field battle broke out between the two armies in the Tulum region, which was equivalent to later Russia. In order to make up for the lack of combat power, Tsarist Russia spent a lot of money and put a large number of dexterous legions into the battle. It was finally able to contain the Manchu attack. It realized that there was no hope of advancement and there was no point in continuing to fight Tsarist Russia in Tulum. Moreover, Kangxi He also had a preliminary understanding of the Siberian winter, and he would never give Tsarist Russia a chance to entangle him. Therefore, Kangxi decisively retreated to the Sversk area, where the Manchu Qing Dynasty relied on driving the Tsarist Russian people and prisoners of war under their rule to establish strongholds for the army to garrison, and moved to defense in advance. Although Tsarist Russia repelled the Manchus, they also suffered heavy losses in the battles. Among them, the Machinery Corps suffered the heaviest losses. After all, they could be replenished with enough time, but the Cossack cavalry faced their biggest opponent. ¡ª¡ªWhen the Manchu and Qing dynasties concentrated their use of cavalry units composed of red-armored soldiers and white-armored soldiers, they were brave enough not to retreat even half a step, and bravely waved their sabers to fight with the Manchu and Qing elites, allowing the Manchu and Qing cavalry to often reach up to Unpredicted tactical purposes helped the Tsarist Russian army gain reaction time, thereby avoiding countless catastrophes. However, every time the Cossacks fought with the Manchu elites with high intensity, not even one out of ten Cossacks survived, which made the Tatars' ferocity deeply felt. It was deeply engraved into the hearts of the Tsarist Russian army. Faced with the retreat of the Qing Dynasty, Tsarist Russia did not rush to pursue the Qing Dynasty. The huge consumption in several years of war made the current tsar unwilling to continue to dispatch more troops from Europe to the battlefield in the East. After all, for the current Tsarist Russia, Europe is the strategic center of gravity. If it weakens its power in Europe because of the war in the East, it would appear to be putting the cart before the horse. The Manchu Qing's active retreat also gave the Tsar a way to step down with dignity As for Kangxi, he knew that the Manchu Qing had already consumed a lot of money in this large-scale attack, especially in the final battle. Although it tactically defeated Tsarist Russia, it also eliminated them. They killed many Tsarist Russian troops and captured many Tsarist Russian soldiers, but they did not cause decisive consequences for Tsarist Russia itself.It was a devastating blow and the strategic objectives were not achieved at all. Taking the initiative to retreat and switch to defense is actually a no-brainer choice. "If the Central Plains were still under my control and all the strength and material resources were gathered! Tsarist Russia would have been destroyed for a long time!" Finally, in Kangxi, he sighed in front of all the generals. Both sides stopped military operations with a tacit understanding. After both announced their victory, they used the area from Tulum to Sversrsk as a buffer zone and entered a period of confrontation. Time: 1666 Location: Marseille, France Xiao Yi and others have been living in the foreign country of Europe for many years, and have initially established an intelligence network covering all of Europe to deal in oriental products, such as silk, tea and other chambers of commerce. As a cover, the name of the chamber of commerce is "Looking Back and Looking East" to express the feeling of homesickness. Marseille was their headquarters in the Mediterranean area. Due to the increase in France in this era, the large amount of commercial capital generated by the transit trade from the Mediterranean to Northern Europe, rather than mainly from the production of goods rooted in the country, was earlier in Europe. Get rich. The early and excessive appearance of a large amount of commercial capital that was free from production caused the early disintegration of the French manorial economy and the early separation of manor serfs from the land. The growth of commercial capital further led to an acceleration of the separation of labor and land means of production. Since the French capitalist industry was too fragile at that time to absorb a large amount of money capital and labor outside the field of production, these surplus laborers flowed from the countryside into the city. Originally, many of these people would become the foundation of the future revolution, but now Black Heart The Ling brothers took up the idea of ??these people. His Majesty the Emperor said, "Population is the most important resource!!" Under such ideological guidance and actual shortage of manpower, the Ling brothers began to fully carry forward China's The moral theory of benevolence and righteousness began to employ a large number of these French people into the chamber of commerce. Anyway, the income from operating the chamber of commerce alone, after deducting intelligence activities and costs, (mainly the benefit feedback from the domestic commodity producers involved in this monopoly behavior, The New Han Empire united merchants to manipulate prices and significantly increased the cost for foreign merchants to purchase oriental specialties, which was the earliest trade barrier. The Hui Dong Gu Chamber of Commerce directly sent goods to Europe through land and sea transportation and simplified transmission techniques. I no longer deal with any foreign merchants, so the prices should have been reduced, but not only have the prices of these things not been reduced in Europe, but the prices have also increased. Although they have increased, they are always subtly lower than the prices sold by other foreign merchants. A little bit New Han has the face of an evil monopoly capitalist. They have completely monopolized the sales of oriental specialties in Europe. Under the guidance of Yun Jue's monopoly thinking, New Han has made a lot of money). It can support a lot of people, and as a force preparing to open branches all over Europe, it can also provide enough jobs. Let¡¯s get back to the topic. At this time, Europe was in the dawn of capitalism. As the ¡°old forces destined to be eliminated¡±, their upper class, the privileged class composed of aristocrats and royal families, was extremely corrupt. Even the Catholic Church, which was a spiritual force, Knowing it is not exempt from vulgarity. Therefore, the Ling brothers bribed the aristocratic class, won over the clergy in the name of donating property to the church, and helped the above two classes do some internal work to show their strength, and they lived smoothly in Europe (incidentally, for a better society To carry out the work, all the people from the New Han Empire to Europe pretended to believe in Catholicism and pretended to be more pious than regular believers. They were all baptized by high-ranking clergy of the Catholic Church). This time, a large number of homeless people were taken in, and under the control of the Ling brothers, they were promoted as a good deed by the church and nobles. What the Ling brothers have to do next is to slowly win over these people, and finally they will all become quasi-subjects of the New Han Empire. Today, Xiao Yi led the newly hired Frenchmen from the Chamber of Commerce (who came under the influence of the New Han Dynasty, received favors and support from the empire, and still expected to retain their original nationality in the end?) to the port of Marseille to welcome the arrival of the New Han Empire. Merchant ships arriving in Europe through the Suez Canal (the world's Suez Canal has not been abandoned since it was dug during the time of Pharaoh Senusret III). They did not go directly to the port because there was still some time before the scheduled time, so Xiao Yi very generously asked his men to go to the restaurant owned by Huihuidonggu Chamber of Commerce to have an oriental-style breakfast (from the Big Foodie Empire) There are people who can't stand the rough European cuisine of this era, so they opened restaurants in European cities with their own power base, which unexpectedly attracted Europeans to flock to them. Of course, it is still a high-cost place, but for internal employees). They arrived very early and saw that there were already customers in the restaurant. Xiao Yi decisively went in without taking anyone with him. Instead, he led people through the back door of the store and entered an area of ??the store that was not open to outsiders (looking back After Donggu's restaurant unexpectedly became popular with Europeans, the Ling brothers' dark plan started again. A good hotel was managed into a high-end restaurant. Those who could spend money here were either rich or noble, and they were all from the privileged class. Xiao Yi was leading a group of common people. In Europe at that time, common people were?The privileged class eating together is just looking for trouble). After settling the waiters, Xiao Yi came to the store, chose a table and sat down, listening to the guests here talking about various things. Over the past few years, Xiao Yi has been able to master and use foreign languages, so he can understand them. The news was varied, such as "The Mongols are coming again" (Tsarist Russia's propaganda was correct), "The Great Fire of London", "The Dutch are preparing to teach the British a lesson" and so on. After listening for a while, there was no valuable information, and the guys were still dining in the back hall. Xiao Yi decided to take a walk nearby. However, during this walk, Xiao Yi would have an encounter with a foreign country, but the person he met (scheduled to be There is a guy who can live a very long time in the original work Ji Qiao. He is the villain in the original work, and his gender is of course femaleguess who it is~) To be continued BGM - Time Travel
