Volume 16 Chapter 13 Re-poisoning

Richelieu did not know the war situation in the Far East, Siberia was thousands of miles away from Paris, and at the speed of communication at this time, it would take a month for the news from the Far East to reach the imperial capital of Tsarist Russia, and as for Paris, if no one specifically transmitted it, their news would be delayed for at least two months.

If it weren't for Rozov mentioning it, Richelieu knew that the surprise attack of the Far Eastern Army of Tsarist Russia was unfavorable and failed to take a border guard post of the Ming Empire, nothing more.

Isn't this expected, if you don't take it, you won't take it, as long as Tsarist Russia and the Ming Empire go to war, and the success of the delaying tactics of the Safavid Empire in Persia also proves that the Ming Empire has gone all out to deal with Tsarist Russia in the north, and the south can't take care of it at all, which is exactly what Richelieu wants to see.

But he never thought that Luo Zov suddenly ran over and told him that the Ming Empire had already hit the Yeni River Valley, was it really fake?

Richelieu asked with a look of disbelief: "How is it possible, Prime Minister, don't be deceived, you have advanced four or five thousand miles in more than two months, and you believe in this speed?" Also, doesn't it take time for a million-strong army to assemble, doesn't it need to prepare grain and grass? “

Rozov is ashamed, the Far Eastern Army is so vulnerable, he didn't expect it, he just received the news from Golovin, and he didn't believe it, but the problem is that his beloved general Franz Bekov came back with news that Golovin had indeed been defeated to the Siberian Plain, and the two had met, so far, he couldn't believe it.

Seeing Richelieu's skeptical expression, he couldn't help but be annoyed and said angrily: "Your Royal Highness, do you think I will believe the unconfirmed news?" Who knows what kind of madness the Ming Empire smoked, so they sneaked up on a guard on their border, and before the sneak attack was successful, they actually went crazy and counterattacked, why didn't you remind me that the Ming Empire would be so crazy and desperate with us! “

Indeed, according to common sense, just a sneak attack on a small guard on the border is not enough to make the Ming Dynasty frantically find a great power like Tsarist Russia, at most, it is to gather hundreds of thousands of troops, take revenge, seize a few castles in Tsarist Russia, and then sit back and wait for others to come to sue for peace.

However, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, Golovin actually killed Taifu Sun Chengzong by mistake!

Who is Sun Chengzong, he is a great contributor to supporting Zhu Cijiong to sit on the throne, and he is one of the few people that Zhu Cijiong respects the most, killing him, how can Zhu Cijiong not be angry.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire is angry, it is a very terrifying thing, a bad one, Tsarist Russia will even be destroyed because of this!

Rozov is still in the dark, he just thinks that the Ming Empire has gone crazy, and after the madness, they should be afraid of the anti-Habsburg coalition behind Tsarist Russia to sit down for peace talks.

Richelieu didn't know what the Ming Empire was crazy about, more than two months, advancing four or five thousand miles, this speed was too terrifying, he pondered for a while, and proposed: "They are rushing like this, the rear must be unstable, you can use your familiarity with the terrain to copy their back road, cut off their grain route, the grain consumed by a million army is quite terrifying, once the grain route is cut off, they will definitely collapse without a fight." “

Rozov rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Your Royal Highness, do you think my generals are idiots?" They had thought of this question for a long time, but the Ming army was not crazy to break through, but advanced on the whole line, and the protection of the grain route was also very tight, not to mention the sneak attack on their grain route, the Far Eastern Army could not even hide, their cavalry was scattered everywhere, and there was nowhere to hide in the area they passed! “

Hearing this, Richelieu found a map, carefully looked at the Siberian region in the Far East, and then analyzed: "Such a vast area, even if there are millions of troops, it is very sparsely dispersed, you can consider concentrating superior forces to break them individually." “

When Rozov heard this, he said helplessly: "The advance speed of the Ming army is too terrifying, the 200,000 troops we supported have not yet arrived, they have already hit the Yeni River Valley, at that time, the governor of the Far East, Golovin, only gathered 100,000 troops, and the first stop lost nearly half, 50,000 or 60,000 people to deal with the million army, even if they are scattered, it is to find death, the Ming army can gather any legion to encircle and annihilate Golovin's troops." “

Hearing this, Richelieu's eyes lit up, and he asked carefully: "You mean that the 200,000 troops you supported behind did not exchange fire with the Ming army at all?" “

Rozov sighed: "Yes, I desperately urged you to send muskets, not to send reinforcements as soon as possible, but it was still too late, when the reinforcements arrived on the Siberian Plain, Golovin's Far Eastern Army had already been routed there, followed by the ice period, so they could only stay in the castles all over the Siberian Plain and wait for next year to fight again." “

Richelieu nodded and said, "Well, very good, there is still a chance, the Ming Empire is afraid that it will not be able to run this time." “

Hearing this, Rozov looked at Richelieu like a monster, and said in disbelief: "Your Royal Highness, are you joking with me?" What chance is there for more than 200,000 against 1 million, even if they are scattered? At most, we can find an opportunity to encircle and annihilate their tens of thousands of cavalry, let them retreat to the east of the Yeni River, and they can't run away, if we really want to say that we can't run away, we can't run away, and if we are not careful, we will be surrounded and annihilated by them! “

Richelieu said confidently: "We will support you with another 200,000 muskets, you will recruit another 200,000 reinforcements, and as soon as the ice period is over, you will immediately send reinforcements over, and we should win this battle." “

Win a fart, Rozov said puzzledly: "More than 400,000 against 1 million, the winning margin is also very small, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is not a joke." “

A look of disdain flashed in Richelieu's eyes, and he pointed to the map and explained: "We can make a fuss in the northwest of the Ming Empire, disperse their forces, and even make the Persian Safavid Empire put on a posture of attacking South Asia, so how many troops can they keep in Siberia?" “

When Rozov heard this, he suddenly realized: "Yes, you can disperse their forces!" “

However, he looked at the map and asked in confusion: "What can the northwest of the Ming Empire do?" Did the Safavid Empire of Persia dare to go to war with the Ming Empire? “

This idiot, Richelieu resisted the urge to scold, and patiently explained: "Do you know the tile spur department of the Mengyuan Empire? You should know better than me, I heard that they were not destroyed by the Ming Empire, and they have slowly risen, can't you use them to threaten the Ming Empire? “

Of course, Meng Yuan's Tile Thorn Department Luo Zov knew that at the beginning, Tsarist Russia was actually a big duke under the Golden Horde of Meng Yuan, but Meng Yuan declined, and they rose, for the Tile Spur Department under Meng Yuan, Luo Zov not only knew, but also knew their current situation, because their next goal was to expand to the Tile Spur Department!

If you send someone to provoke it, it is really possible for the Tile Spur Department to go to war with the Ming Empire, Meng Yuan and the Ming Dynasty have been mortal enemies for hundreds of years, Luo Zov nodded excitedly and said: "His Royal Highness the Duke, you are simply too powerful, the Tile Spur Department, it is indeed possible to start a war with the Ming Empire, but the Persian Safavid Empire really dare?" “

Richelieu said angrily: "It's not for them to really start a war with the Ming Empire, gather the army, and put on a show, what dare you dare!" “
