Chernenko, who received a slap, seemed to react, looked at Mikhanovic, whose eyes were red, just nodded, turned around and walked out, if he didn't go out, there might be a second slap.

Chernenko now regrets very much that he has found this bastard, this guy has not only slept with the beauties of the manor, but also insatiably extorted countless treasures, exquisite furs, expensive famous paintings, just by the reinforcements he brought not long ago, pure smashes are a bunch of bankrupt farmers. His Majesty the current Tsar was elected by all the nobles, even His Majesty Mikhail Romanov was polite to the nobles everywhere, so he had his own proposal to the Tsar, but I didn't expect the sent Mikhanovich to be such a bastard.

Although this bastard gave such a bastard's order, it still had to be carried out before he could get out. Chernenko sent people back to Tobolsk, where the center of Siberian rule is now located, and where his Stroganov family center is now located, and in his letter Chernenko explained in detail everything that happened here, and how to do it needs to be considered in the best interests of the family.

To Chernenko's surprise, the Stroganov family reacted very strongly to this, and the uncle who was in charge of the family did not hesitate to pay 500,000 gold rubles, and in just one month, he recruited an army of 30,000 people, including Vikings, which mixed mercenaries, explorers, speculators, hooligans, and criminals, among which the Cossack Yermak's grandson Yermak Jrmak was the most murderous, and his soldiers were also the most, with more than 3,000 subordinates, which was stronger than his grandfather's power, and his slogan was " fulfill Grandpa's wishes". So waves of bandits continued to pour into Tomsko, plus the 70,000 regular troops sent by Tsar Mikhail Romanov, the strength of the army again reached 100,000 people, and Tomsky was made to fly, and Stroganov also sent a large number of provisions.

Chernenko learned the lesson of the last time, and instead of letting these mercenaries fight on their own, Yermak was responsible for forming his own auxiliary forces, which would fight in the future with the regular army of Tsar Mikhail Romanov, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Mikhail Romanov sent the army is the size of an army group, known as 100,000, in fact, it is not a fully staffed force, the commander of the unit is Ivanov, his family has achieved brilliant results in the war in Russia and the countries of Northwest Europe, this time Mikhail Romanov in order to win the war on the Eastern Front, he sent this fierce general, and the expectations for him are very great.

Mao Wenlong, who won a big victory, now finally feels that Zhu Youxiao's words are too important, if it is not equipped with powerful firearms, in the face of tens of thousands of Russian peasant soldiers, he will have to pay a considerable price, not to mention the regular troops, Kong Youde is also a fierce general, and it is a little embarrassing to block the attack like this, if the road conditions are good, these people will be embraced, it will be very terrible. Fort Mau is now basically perfect, but it must be continuously strengthened, and there are still extra stones to repair the walls in case they are broken, and it is not yet known how powerful the Russians' artillery can be, but it is better to overestimate the strength of the other side.

Sun Chuanting once again sent a large number of supplies, preparing enough grain and dried vegetables for 100,000 people to eat for six months, as well as tens of thousands of catties of soybeans, ready to be used to raw bean sprouts, and his own reserves of dried meat, these things must be fully prepared. Sun Chuanting also began to prepare for the attack, once the Russians began to besiege Maobao, Sun Chuanting will launch an attack on Russia, including Tomsk, but this premise is to be able to lure as many Russian troops as possible to the preset battlefield of Maobao, this is the plan that Zhu Youxiao explained to Sun Chuanting and Mao Wenlong. Both of them have heavy tasks, especially since Sun Chuanting's troops are still training. His original troops were transferred to Mao Wenlong 20,000, and 30,000 troops had been stationed in Maobao, and Zhu Youxiao planned to completely drain the blood of Russia in Siberia with a strong city.

The climate of Siberia is a long and cold winter, a short and rainy summer, generally the summer is in the sixth, seventh, and eighth three months of the lunar calendar, at most to the end of September, and it is not very suitable for combat in the future, because the cold weather may freeze the barrel of the gun, and even the bolt of the gun can not be pulled, it is slightly better in the city, if it is outside the city, the impact on the Ming army will be very great, so Zhu Youxiao specially instructed that it is best to end the battle at the end of September, and it is best not to exceed the beginning of October, once the victory is not possible, simply withdraw the army, Don't let it be a rout.

Now it has entered June, the sky is a little gray, and the cold weather for several days makes people feel very uncomfortable, but in the city of Tomsko, General Ivanov is still busy reorganizing the troops, bad weather and roads, so that the logistics supply of the troops is very difficult, although the Stroganov family has worked very hard, but the supply of the troops is still obviously insufficient, the soldiers can only eat two full meals and one porridge, which will definitely not have the strength to fight, once the war begins, it is necessary to ensure that the soldiers can eat three full meals, you don't care if it's good or not.

The situation encountered by the Russian army, the same is true of the Ming army, but although the Ming army is not very good, but it must be full, the potatoes in recent years have been harvested, especially after the end of the war last year, a large area of potatoes was planted in Mongolia immediately, since the beginning of spring this year, last year's harvest of potatoes was sent to the vicinity of Maobao, in addition to supplying the troops, but also a large number of exchanges with the local indigenous people, so the residents also began to eat potatoes, but let anyone eat potatoes three times a day will be tired, Therefore, Mao Wenlong did not start the war now, so he asked the soldiers to eat more potatoes for the time being, and in order to regulate their appetite, he also bought the prey of the hunters in the local area to ensure the physical strength of the soldiers.

Braving the continuous rain, Ivanov and Chernenko commanded an army of 100,000 to rush towards Fort Mao, the muddy roads made the soldiers miserable, but the weather was not too cold, it was the warmest season in July, and if it was autumn, this kind of ghost weather would stop marching. Fortunately, the Russians are the most hard-working race in the world, and in this harsh climate they are still marching on foot, and the horses are used to haul artillery, although not much, but they must also be brought, it is said that the army has repaired the city, and if there is no artillery, just fill it with the dead, then the loss will be too great, and Ivanov shuddered a little when he thought about it.

In the small town of nearly three hundred miles ahead, Zheng Sanpao, the captain of the Ming army, was already upset and couldn't stand it, he had been stationed in this small village for two months, except for the Ming army who had seen supplies, the people in the village were all dumb, this area was already a place where the Tatars lived, their leader handed over this area to the Russian tsar more than ten years ago, but for ordinary residents, nothing has changed, no matter who collects taxes, pays a lot of fur and prey, Even if the Ming soldiers stationed here did not harass their lives, they still thought that these were foreigners and would collect taxes sooner or later, so even if the Ming soldiers brought potatoes to them to eat, they silently accepted them and still rarely communicated.

When it was almost the end of July, a team of people finally came, the leader was Kong Youde, Kong Youde was very embarrassed last time, and was very ridiculed by Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, thanks to Mao Wenlong's understanding of the character of these Russians, thinking that Kong Youde fought very well, Kong Youde also wanted to fight for breath, and wanted to do this mission more beautifully, so he brought 3,000 people, but these 3,000 horses are very elite soldiers, the purpose is not to block, but to harass. Mao Wenlong, who had been annoyed by the Cossack bandits for half a year, also wanted to take advantage of the Russian attack to harass them and let them know what was the military harassment.

Looking at his own bad supply line, Mao Wenlong knew that the supply of the Russians was probably worse, and since it was worse, it would be better to let it be worse on the basis of the worse. By reading through Zhu Youxiao's combat strategy, Mao Wenlong's strategy and tactics have reached a new level, and the war is fought with materials and logistics supply, especially after the use of guns and artillery, logistics supply is particularly important. In a pure cavalry unit, if you bring a part of the mares, you will solve most of the supplies, which Genghis Khan did, but after the use of guns, guns without bullets and shells are completely furnished.
