With the search for long-term cooperation with the Ottoman Empire, it is naturally impossible to hand over to De Mons alone, after sending De Mons away, Liu Chang immediately found Yang Changmei: "Find Nan Bo Hang, I have important things to hand over to him!" ”

Yang Changmei agreed, and half an hour later, Nan Bohang had already appeared in front of Liu Chang's desk: "Your Majesty, are you looking for me?" ”

"We need talent with connections to the Ottoman Empire right now, you pay attention to it, we can work with the Ottomans at the right time."

Under Liu Chang's cultivation, officers like Nan Bohang and Zhu Jinlei have grown up well, and the biggest difference between them and the Chinese officials of this era is that they have a global gaze, and Nanbo Hang quickly understood: "Is it to cooperate with the Ottoman Empire and fight against Russia?" ”

"Yes!"

Nanbo Hang has its own opinion: "There are very few things to send charcoal in the snow, but there is no shortage of icing on the cake at any time, Your Majesty, my opinion is that our focus is still on ourselves, especially the Philippine ......"

"Spaniards......" Liu Chang also had to admit that the Spaniards were a big trouble: "Now I can only drag it out first...... A very beautiful river, I now declare, to name this river after His Majesty Ivan IV, Ivan! Prince Konstantin did not know the name of the river in front of him, and he had no intention of asking the local natives. Instead, he looked at the green mountains and clear waters, and happily announced his name: "Chief of Staff, you can mark this Ivan River on the map!" ”

"No problem!" The chief of staff of the command was a Russian of German descent. He joyfully declared: "Today is the eleventh day of crossing the Amur River, we have managed to capture four settlements and conquer another great river. Not surprisingly, we will conquer the entire Kanwai region in a short time! ”

"It's not conquest, it's separation!" His Excellency Governor Muravyyoch, who had been following Prince Konstantin closely, pointed out the language of the Chief of Staff: "Everything is exactly as we expected!" ”

Although there is a great ambition, but in the northeast of this era, the Russian army has encountered problems of one kind or another, but for the Russian army, more often this is a camping or a field training, rather than a large-scale combat operation.

The reason is simple. Although the Qing army in the northeast also had some Eight Banner troops with a strong will to fight, their equipment was seriously aged, and many times they were equipped with bird guns and red-coated cannons from the Kangxi era, and there were too many people, and they were crushed almost immediately in the face of overwhelming enemy troops.

For this Russian army, the bigger trouble comes from the danger of the river. It's just that the Russian peasants are always a herd of mules, who, in the mud, can break through all obstacles and miraculously pass through impossible areas, so Prince Konstantin thinks that everything will go well in this conquest: "Tomorrow we will stop and rest for the whole day, and then we will go all the way." And then through a few big rivers ......"

Muravyov agreed, and he felt that His Royal Highness's decision was extremely wise: "What we need now is not an unlimited victory, but to seize the results as much as possible, to build our own settlements and fortresses, even if we do not capture Jinzhou within this year!" ”

For the warring parties, this war is not a decisive battle of infantry or artillery, more often it is a logistical contest, Russia must transport soldiers and materials from the mainland to the Far East, and then move forward across the coastal area and the Heilongjiang River, and for the Hong Army, if they want to recover the Northeast, they also need to use Beijing as a base, step north one by one, and the more materials are lost on the way, especially the northward movement across the Heilongjiang River, it is simply a nightmare. …,

"As long as we build enough fortresses and fortresses, every attack of the Chinese will break their heads in front of our fortress!" Prince Konstantin saw it clearly: "What we need now is to harvest as much territory as possible, and it doesn't hurt to make a little concession in the negotiations!" ”

This is the decision that Prince Konstantin and Muravyov have long made, and now this expedition is not about conquest, but about separation, as long as the Russians are given a few decades, the whole area outside the Guan, the whole region of Mongolia will become Yellow Russia.

"Now there's nothing in our way!" Murajoviv felt that his planning had reached the point of perfection: "We and the Spaniards will squeeze the rebels on both the northern and southern fronts, and there is no way to escape!" ”

"Spaniards, Spaniards!" Prince Konstantin thought of something: "I hope they can do well in the Philippines!" ”

"How is this possible!" Muravyov felt that this was impossible: "Now Luzon is in the hands of the Chinese, and there are still those barbaric Islamists in the south. ”

"They just need to wait until we separate the areas outside the border, and then they can take all the initiative at the negotiating table!" Prince Constantine felt that the Spaniards would make a wise choice: "You must know that the Chinese, like us, are not maritime peoples, although we have an unimaginable enthusiasm for the sea." ”

For the Russians, this is the greatest regret, even if they occupy the Baltic, Black and Pacific seas, they are still not a real maritime people.

It's just that as soon as the chief of staff heard this, he said one more thing: "Just now, the Spaniards sent an urgent letter!" ”

"Spaniards?" Muravyov had a very bad imagination: "They can't be so unwise!" ”

"Bring the letter!" Prince Konstantin has already drawn his saber: "God bless Russia!" ”

The letter was quickly taken, and Prince Constantine carefully tore off the lacquer seal from the envelope, and then pulled out the creed, and he had only read the first few lines and already cursed: "These damned Spaniards, they want to sink the Armada again!" ”

"They're not going to do it, are they?" Muravyov immediately thought of this question: "Now is not a good time!" ”

"They weren't going to do it, they were going to do it all, they informed us that the general attack of the Spaniards would take place in two weeks, and working with the Spaniards was really the biggest failure of my life."

The Spanish-Russian alliance is an extremely fragile alliance, and the two sides formed an alliance only because of a few unexpected factors, and now the alliance has been torn apart from each other.

"They just have to spend it in the Philippines with the Chinese!" Prince Konstantin said very bitterly: "In that case, Chinese must deploy a large number of troops in several coastal provinces, and we can calmly dismember the whole of Yellow Russia, but now...... Now ......"

He didn't know how to describe the actions of the Spaniards, and his originally delicate eyebrows were locked tightly, but Muravyov had already figured it out: "The Spaniards, like us, can't afford to drag it out!" ”

That's right, both the Kingdom of Spain and Tsarist Russia are extremely old powers, but after entering the nineteenth century, these two old imperialist countries went downhill, Tsarist Russia's defeat in the Crimea was better, Spain lost the entire Latin American colony, which is the richest land in the whole world, full of gold, silver, copper, and the most fertile land in the world, Spain, which lost its colonies, did not know how to react, Even the country is mired in a continuous civil war.

Therefore, although the Spaniards sent a large number of troops to the Philippines, they were not able to spend as much as the Russians imagined with the Chinese in the Philippine islands, and they could only fight a quick victory, so as not to drag on the entire Spanish kingdom. …,

"We can only speed up our actions, we shouldn't rest tomorrow!" Muravyov made a choice in the midst of pain: "We must take Jinzhou as soon as possible!" ”

"Jinzhou...... Jinzhou ...... It's impossible to rest! ”

Jinzhou is a distant target, especially now that the Russian army is marching at a speed that their infantry must go to Jinzhou step by step, so in order to ensure that the infantry is not disjointed, in the original plan, Prince Konstantin was prepared to order the troops to stop and rest for one or two days every week or two.

But now they had to change their original plan and speed up their actions: "Tell the soldiers that we can only rest well when we reach Jinzhou or Lushunkou, where we must march for six days and fight twelve hours a day, well, meal time is a special treatment I give them." ”。

If the Russians had not crossed the Heilongjiang River more than 10 days ago, they might have limited their target to both sides of the Heilongjiang River, but now that they have penetrated more than 100 kilometers into the south bank of the Heilongjiang River, and some troops have even broken through to the south bank of the Heilongjiang River for more than 200 kilometers, they can only fight this gamble.

Prince Constantine has already thought very thoroughly: "We have to gamble, we are betting on the fate of the whole of Russia, now the Spaniards should have done it in the Philippines, this is easy to do, they can contain the rebels for at least three months, and the rebels want to control the whole of North China, it will take at least two months, five months is enough for us to take the entire Guanwai region and establish our fortress group in Jinzhou!" ”

"Order the soldiers to rush into Jinzhou without stopping in the spirit of the Great Patriotic War of 1812!" RQ
