The advance speed of the Ming army was very astonishing, and the Ming army on the north and south roads, with the support of the North Sea Fleet, was like a bamboo, and in less than two months, it completely occupied the Thanksgiving River Valley.

Due to Golovin's avoidance of the battle, the Ming army did not suffer too many casualties along the way, and there were almost no losses in each legion, but the more this was the case, the more worried Lu Xiangsheng became, both sides knew very well that they were fighting hard head-on, and with Golovin's little strength, he was not the opponent of the Ming army at all, and only by cutting off the grain route could he turn defeat into victory.

You can't underestimate the enemy for a while and ruin the good situation.

Therefore, after the full occupation of the Thanksgiving River Valley, Lu Xiangsheng ordered all the legions to temporarily stop advancing.

In front of the Yeni River Basin, in the case of the East China Sea Fleet did not arrive, if the East China Sea Fleet did not arrive, if it rushed up, not only the grain route, but also the cavalry of each legion would be in danger, because the enemy had a waterway to transfer, it would be much more flexible, and the Ming army did not have a single warship in the Yeni River Valley for the time being.

So, what is Golovin thinking now, will he go to attack the grain route or take advantage of the river transfer to collect the scattered cavalry of the Ming army?

Golovin is very angry now, he was chased by the Ming army all the way, and finally escaped to the Yeni River Valley, and finally received the news of the imperial capital, but this news was so angry that he almost spurted blood.

His last month's military salary was intercepted by the Ming army, and in the following months, Rozov actually said that he didn't know the specific situation, and he would only pay it after consulting with him!

Lack of ke, Lao Tzu fought to the death, was chased like a dog, lost tens of thousands of horses, not to mention, and didn't even earn a copper plate.

What's even more annoying is that the reinforcements from the imperial capital only set off last month, and it is still unknown whether they have crossed the Ob River valley.

It's a good thing that Rozov is not in front of him now, otherwise he was really afraid that he couldn't help it, and in desperation, he rushed forward and hooked the chin of this thing with a pork hook.

There are such playful people, you were the one who said to give the money at the beginning, and you were the one who said that there were reinforcements; Now I have been beaten by the Ming army, but I haven't seen the money, and the reinforcements haven't seen it!

In fact, you can't blame Luo Zov for the money, he did give the money in the first month, but he didn't give it, and the money in the back can't be given indiscriminately, it's not a little money, but hundreds of thousands of taels.

You rushed up and failed to sneak attack, lost tens of thousands of horses, and then, there was no then, and since then there has been no news, how can people give money!

As for the problem of reinforcements, you can't blame Rozov, it is indeed very simple to expand the army, Tsarist Russia has a population of tens of millions in Europe, and it is not difficult to recruit hundreds of thousands of recruits, Rozov only took a month to expand the army near the imperial capital to 300,000, but you must have weapons.

At the beginning, the first batch of muskets supported by Britain and the Netherlands was sent to Golovin in one go, and Tsarist Russia originally had only about 100,000 troops in the entire European continent, and there were only tens of thousands of arquebuses, but now it has expanded to 300,000 where there are muskets to equip.

If there is no musket, what is the use of sending it, take the sword and fight the Ming army? That's pure death!

He could only wait for the British and Dutch to send the muskets, and the problem was that it would take time for the British and Dutch to make guns, and it would be impossible for them to make all the muskets of more than 200,000 people in a month.

It was not until early July that Rozov got his hands on more than 200,000 muskets, most of which were arquebuses replaced by the French.

You can't let this new recruit who has just gotten a musket go to the battlefield right away, so you have to learn how to shoot a musket with the veterans first.

Almost a month passed in this school, so it was not until the end of July that Rozov sent 200,000 reinforcements.

Golovin was angry, but he had not lost his mind, he was angry for a few days, and found that he still did not have the courage to carry the pork hook to Rozov, and in the end, he had to take his men to find reinforcements.

As for going to find the lone cavalry team of the Ming army or to cut off the grain route of the Ming army, he didn't dare to think about it, the terrifying gathering speed of the Ming army last time really frightened him, even if he was lucky enough to encircle and annihilate a lone Ming cavalry, or take shit to dig a section of the railway, he was probably greeted by hundreds of thousands of Ming troops, and he would be a martyr for a small victory, he would not do this kind of stupid thing.

He has already figured out that the tens of thousands of people under his command really can't do anything, and only after merging with the reinforcements can he really cut off the grain route of the Ming army, or break the Ming army individually.

Therefore, he chose to continue the retreat.

It is a very simple matter to retreat in the Ye Ni River Basin, he directly mobilized dozens of large ships and hundreds of small boats of various types, let everyone crowd on the boat, all the way down the river, and floated to the main trunk of the Ye Ni River in a few days, and then found a tributary extending to the west and slowly rowed forward, while rowing and sending people to find the location of the reinforcements, sooner or later they could meet with the reinforcements.

To say that he really ran shit luck, if he left a few days later, he wouldn't be able to leave.

Because when he floated down the river to the main trunk of the Ye Ni River, the East China Sea Fleet had already found the mouth of the Ye Ni River, and within a few days of rowing west with his people, the East China Sea Fleet blocked the entire main trunk of the Ye Ni River!

The mission of the East China Sea Fleet in the first stage was not to occupy the entire Yeni River Valley, but to the east of the Siberian Plateau and to the north and south of the Ming Army, and then to assist them in quickly occupying the entire Siberian Plateau.

Therefore, after the East China Sea Fleet blockaded the main trunk of the Yeni River, all the Fuchuan warships went upriver to the east to find Cao Wenzhao's army on the north route and Lu Xiangsheng's army on the south route, which happened to be staggered with Golovin's fleet.

If he hesitates a little longer and leaves a few days late, it is very likely that he will be blocked by the East China Sea Fleet and will not be able to run away from the Siberian plateau!

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao were meeting at the interruption of the Tunguska River, one of the largest tributaries of the Yeni River, to discuss the details of the next operation.

Their current location is almost 3,000 miles away from Manjingwei, and through the efforts of the six legions of the vassal state and 100,000 Liaodong guards, the railway line has been extended here.

When all the regular legions and vassal legions arrived here, they did not continue to advance westward, but joined together to build the city frantically.

Here, almost the center of the Siberian Plateau, and the first meeting point of the railway line and the Yeni River system, in the Ming army's advance plan, a city with a population of about 500,000 will be built here to serve as a railway hub and river transport hub port, its name is Tunguska City.

Once the Tunguska City was completed, the Ming army could transport grain and grass and other materials here by railway, and then use warships to transport them to the entire Yeni River Valley, so that no matter what the follow-up progress of the railway was, the Ming army would not have to worry about the supply of grain and grass in the Yeni River Valley.
