Volume 16 Chapter 18
Gushi Khan did not doubt the fact that Tsarist Russia had assembled an army of 500,000 troops on the west bank of the Yeni River, because according to the national strength of Tsarist Russia, it could have supported the consumption of 500,000 troops, not to mention that there were allies who provided them with weapons.
If Koperov wants to blow a million, he will not be so easy to believe, because the consumption of a million troops is enough to drag Tsarist Russia to death, that is to say, if Tsarist Russia dares to recruit a million troops, there is no need to fight, and they will not last long just in terms of military salaries and grain and grass!
However, Koperov just went on to blow, and he said proudly: "Of course, we have more than 500,000 troops, and last month Lord Rozov ordered that 200,000 new soldiers should be recruited by the end of the year, and I am the commander of these 200,000 new soldiers. “
Another 200,000 recruits? Gu Shi Khan began to be a little suspicious, he rolled his eyes, and pretended to be envious: "Oh, really? “
This is true, Kopelov said excitedly: "Of course it's true, after this trip back, I will organize the recruits to start training." “
Blow, then blow, Gushi Khan pretended to congratulate: "Then congratulations to Your Excellency General, 200,000 troops, all the armies of our Tile Spur Department add up to not so much, if you count the strength, you will surpass Ben Khan." “
When Kopelov heard this, he hurriedly said modestly: "The Great Khan said that it was a joke, it is very easy for the Tile Thorn Department to organize an army of 300,000 troops, how dare I compare with you." “
The acting is really similar, seeing how well you can blow, Gu Shi Khan deliberately induced: "700,000 against 1 million, plus your familiarity with the terrain, it should be considered evenly matched, but in this case, the casualties will be large in the fight." You can no longer organize hundreds of thousands of troops, with superior strength and familiarity with the terrain, so that there will not be too many casualties. “
Koperov didn't seem to know what Gushi Khan was saying, he nodded stupidly and said: "Well, we also consider this, but the supply of weapons from the allies is a bit unurgent, and we will recruit another 300,000 troops in the next year." “
Treat me like a monkey, Gu Shi Khan is angry, he said coldly: "A million army, a lot, don't you need to pay military salaries?" Don't have to eat? Can you afford it? “
Koperov nodded and said mysteriously: "We really can't afford this, but, fortunately, we have a secret agreement with the allies." “
Gu Shi Khan was stunned when he heard this, and only then did he say: "There is also a secret agreement, what secret agreement?" “
Kopelov pretended to be embarrassed for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you are also our allies, the secret agreement tells you nothing, but you must not spread the word to the countries of the Daming Habsburg Alliance, if you let them know, things will be in trouble." “
Gu Shi Khan couldn't help but urge: "What kind of secret agreement, you say, how can I go and tell the Ming Empire." “
Kopelov thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "Actually, one thing you already know, that is, our muskets are provided by the allies, and some people will naturally provide weapons and some people will provide military salaries and food and grass, and we only need to send people." “
Gushi Khan couldn't help but doubt: "There is still such a thing? “
Koperov said angrily: "Great Khan, do you think we are stupid? Without the full support of our allies, how could we have been able to defeat the Ming Empire! Also, the Anglo-French-Dutch coalition will attack the Eurasian Canal in the spring of next year, and the Persian Safavid Empire will also gather a large army to attack Kandahar, I can only say so much, anyway, this time the Ming Empire is more than lucky. “
The Ming Empire is in full swing, how does this sound a little unrealistic?
If this is the case, wouldn't it be a great opportunity, the tile spur can be next to the Ming Empire, as long as you rush through Hamiwei and take Chang'an, there will be a flower world in the Central Plains in front of you, how prosperous it is now, it makes people drool when you think about it!
After defeating the Ming army at Tumubao, I don't know how many goods and women were robbed, and the current Ming Empire is much richer and more populous than it was then.
Gu Shi Khan really couldn't resist this temptation, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency, is what you said true or false, such a powerful Ming Empire, can you really defeat it?" “
Kopelov said proudly: "Why should I lie to you, the Holy Roman Empire was strong enough at the beginning, but now what? Our anti-Habsburg coalition does not yet have a country that cannot be dealt with! “
The Holy Roman Empire was indeed powerful enough at the beginning, it was a real Eurasian hegemon, and now it is indeed not good, let alone dominating the European continent, and now he himself is difficult to protect, and he may fall apart at some point, this is indeed the masterpiece of the anti-Habsburg alliance, and now, Gushi Khan really believes it a little.
However, after I believe it, the problem comes again, you are all sure to overthrow the Ming Empire, why are you still coming to me?
Gu Shi Khan asked puzzledly: "Your Excellency General, since you have already arranged everything, why are you still coming to our Tile Thorn Department?" “
This Kopelov naturally had a draft, and he said unhurriedly: "Great Khan, do you think, we can increase our troops, and the Ming Empire can also increase our troops, and the two sides are consumed, how can we consume the Ming Empire?" The offensive in South Asia and the Eurasian Canal is also to cooperate with the Great War in Siberia, just to disperse the forces of the Ming Empire, there are enemies everywhere, how much can they increase their troops in Siberia? “
This does make some sense, but it has something to do with me, Gu Shi Khan still asked puzzledly: "Does this have anything to do with our Tile Spur Department?" Why should we help you disperse the forces of the Ming Empire? “
Koperov nodded: "This really has nothing to do with you, speaking of which, I have to say a few offensive words, and please don't be angry." “
Gu Shi Khan is actually itching at this time, how tempting the flower world of the Central Plains is, who doesn't want to loot wantonly.
This Kopelov is too inky to speak, can't he be happy?
He couldn't help but urge: "Say, Ben Khan won't be angry." “
Kopelov asked cautiously: "Then I will be offended, if we are in a war with the Ming Empire, you will definitely send troops to take advantage, right?" “
When Gu Shihan heard this, his old face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "This, this, maybe." “
Kopelov continued to be cautious: "No, maybe, with the great Khan's great talent and strategy, he will definitely send troops, and if you take advantage of the emptiness in our rear and wave your troops directly towards the Ob River valley, won't we be miserable?" “
Gushi Khan hurriedly shook his head and said: "That's impossible, if you want to fight the Ming Empire, how can Ben Khan fight you!" “
Koperov said solemnly: "Of course we hope that that kind of thing will not happen, so Lord Rozov sent me to discuss with the Great Khan, we hope that the Great Khan can send troops to attack the Shaanxi Xingdu Division of the Ming Empire before the ice and snow melt in Siberia in the spring of next year!" “
The time to take advantage has finally arrived, and if you don't give some benefits, you want me to send troops to cooperate with you to deal with the Ming Empire, there are no doors, won't I wait for you to be exhausted before going on?
