The Russian envoy just left, and the next thing was bound to be war, and the Ming army should be ready for a big war.

When the Russian envoy returned to Moscow and reported the results of the negotiations to the Tsar, the Tsar was full of murderous intentions.

"Since that's the case, then talk about war!" The Tsar roared.

This is the Tsar's favorite phrase to say, and it is also the Tsar's favorite thing to do.

The predecessor of the Tsarist Russian Empire was the Muscovy that became independent after the fall of the Golden Horde of the Mongol Empire, and about 100 years ago, a Grand Duke of Muscovy was crowned emperor and the Tsarist Russian Empire was born.

Influenced by the Mongol Empire, the Russian Empire had an extraordinary attachment to territory from the very beginning of its existence.

In order to expand the territory, for more than 100 years, the Tsarist Empire has continuously launched foreign wars, to the north, to the west, to the south, to the east, as long as the ability, the Tsarist Empire does not mind waging war against any country, after more than 100 years of expansion, the Western Tsarist Empire has expanded to the Kingdom of Poland and the Holy Roman Empire, to the south to the border of the Ottoman Empire, to the east to Siberia and the area north of the Ming Outer Khing'an Mountains.

Every country in the vicinity of the Tsarist Empire was at war with the Russian Empire.

The Tsarist Empire has fought the coalition armies of European countries and the Ottoman Empire, although almost all of them have been defeated, rarely won, and every time they have been wounded, but they still can't stop the ambition of the expansion of the Tsarist Empire.

Because of the expansion and too frequent wars, both European countries and the Ottoman Empire hated the Russian Empire very much, regarded it as a beast of prey, and it is said that the Holy Roman Empire was established to resist the expansion of the Russian Empire.

The only time the Tsarist Russian Empire fought with the Ming Dynasty was in Zungar, and the 60,000 troops of Tsarist Russia entered Zungar and were completely annihilated by the Ming army!

Although I don't know how the Ming annihilated their 60,000 army, and I am afraid of the strong strength of the Ming Dynasty, but the Tsarist Russian Empire even dared to launch wars against the Ottoman Empire and European countries again and again, and he only lost once for the Ming Dynasty, and it was only the loss of 60,000 troops, and he couldn't even hurt his vitality, so why didn't he dare to start a war against the Ming Dynasty?

So this time, in order to drive out the Ming and occupy the Cossack territory, the Tsar's determination to go to war with the Ming was unprecedentedly firm.

Previously, in order to attack the Cossack Khanate, the Tsarist Empire had mobilized 150,000 troops, and now these 150,000 troops are not far from the border between Tsarist Russia and the Cossacks. However, the 150,000 army may be enough to fight the Cossack Khanate, which had only 80,000 cavalry left, but it is obviously not enough to start a war with the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time as sending emissaries, the Tsar continued to draw as many troops as he could.

Finally, Moscow gathered another 90,000-strong Tsarist Russian army, including the 150,000 troops on the border, for a total of 240,000 troops. This was already all the power that the tsar was able to draw upon.

In order to achieve victory in the war with the Ming Dynasty, the tsar sent his most trusted general, Marshal Sharloklev, to command this army of 240,000 men.

In the 11th year of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, June 23.

On the orders of the Tsar, Marshal Ssarlolev set out from Moscow with a newly mobilized Russian army of 90,000 and went to the border with the Ming Cossacks, preparing to make peace with the 150,000 army there.

On June 28, the two Tsarist Russian armies met and formed a huge Tsarist Russian regiment of 240,000 men, which invaded the territory of the Ming Cossacks.

The Ming army camp is about 200 miles from the border.

"Newspaper"

"Commander, the two Tsarist armies have already made peace, a total of 240,000 troops, and they have stepped into the border to kill them!" The spies came back to report to Ji Fengyu.

Hearing the news, Ji Feng stood up suddenly.

"Is it finally here? This commander has been waiting for them for a long time! It's been several years, and our First Army has finally ushered in a big war in the true sense of the word! Ji Feng said with a laugh, his chest full of blood.

Yes, it is the first army that Ji Feng said, and there is only the first army.

Although the Ming Dynasty deployed three armies in Xinjiang, with a total of 60,000 regular troops, and all of them belonged to Ji Feng's command, the other two armies needed to guard all parts of Xinjiang, and they really entered the Cossack Khanate with Ji Feng, and only the 20,000 regular troops of the First Army were captured by the Cossack Khanate.

Although he knew early on that after the capture of the Cossack Khanate, he might have to fight with the Tsarist Empire, but from the beginning to the end, Ji Feng did not plan to ask the imperial court to send more regular troops to come, because he was confident enough, confident that his first army of 20,000 people would be enough to defeat the Tsarist Empire's army, even if this time the Tsarist Russian Empire's army was 240,000 people.

Don't look at the large number of the Tsarist Emperor's ** team, but because of the belligerence, the Tsarist Empire is poor, except for a few generals, ordinary soldiers don't even have a pair of armor, all of them are coarse cloth military clothes and a sword, axe, musket and other weapons are out to fight, and it is no wonder that the Tsarist Russian army fought wars with European countries and the Ottoman Empire, losing more and winning less, and can only hold the current territory, unable to continue to expand in these two directions.

However, the first army of the Ming Dynasty is different, the latest rifled guns that have just been replaced this year have a longer range, more accurate, more powerful, and have also been replaced with lighter machine guns, and the combat effectiveness of the first army has risen a lot compared with the beginning.

The composition of the 240,000 army of the Tsarist Russian Empire was very simple, 50,000 arquebuses, 190,000 ordinary cold weapons army.

The 50,000 musket team sounds like a lot, but in fact, they are all the most backward arquebuses, with rough workmanship, not far range, and often exploding, which is far worse than the arquebuses of European countries, not to mention the flintlock muskets that Europe has begun to equip on a large scale.

As for the comparison with the rifled guns of the First Army, it is simply one day and one place, and there is still no need to compare.

The First Army relied on such advanced weapons, and the army of the Tsarist Empire was no different from a rabble in the eyes of the First Army.

"Go out to meet the Tsarist army!" Ji Feng led the 20,000 iron cavalry of the First Army to meet the Tsarist Russian army.

In addition to the 20,000 cavalry of the 1st Army, 20,000 cavalry of the combined Cossack tribes of the surrendering tribes followed. Of course, the 20,000 Cossack cavalry is just an embellishment, and they may not be needed to fight at all, and the main force is still Ji Feng's 20,000 Ming Army iron cavalry.

At a distance of two hundred miles, the iron horse galloped and arrived in less than two hours.

Standing on a high slope, he could even see the mighty figure of the 240,000 Tsarist Russian army in the distance.

"The whole army dismounted, organized a defense on the spot, and faced the Tsarist Russian army!" Ji Feng ordered.

Obviously, Ji Feng is ready to let the First Army prepare for war here, make all kinds of preparations for attack and defense, and then wait for the Tsarist Russian army to come here to fight by itself.
