Chapter 1002: Pressing Forward

The Han Chinese, the Han people of the Great Qing Kingdom, the Russian Grove named this group of people the Great Qing Tatars, and finally accepted his proposal.

If the two sides cooperate and defeat the Qing army, Russia will allow them to be incorporated into Russia and become a Russian tribe, a nation, anyway, there are many ethnic groups in Russia itself, descendants of the Huns who are not wanted by the Han people, descendants of the Xianbei people, tribes of the Mongols who moved westward, and the tribes that finally survived in Europe have become a nation of the Russians, and there are not many more.

And Grove knows that it is still a question whether this group of people can survive in the end, Kutuzov is likely to unload the mill and kill the donkey, but this is not his business, when the spring flowers bloom next year, most of this group of people will die in battle, and the rest of the people are likely to become serfs in Russia, and they may be sold to the West for a lot of money.

After the treaty was signed, Grove stayed in the Han camp, and found that the weapons captured by the Han people in the Qing Dynasty were much better than their Russian weapons, and they were still using arquebuses, some very few cannons, while this group of Han people used the cannons and cannons given to them by the captured Chinese army, which were much more powerful than the Russian muskets.

So he asked for some, and the Han leader generously gave him 10,000 bead guns, fifty cannons, and many items invented by the Chinese Empire, and taught and explained in detail the origin and use of these, and gave him some craftsmen, of course, craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty.

In May, when the weather improved slightly, Grove returned with one hundred and thirty men remaining from the winter, escorted by a detachment of two thousand men sent by the rebels.

And the rebels re-paced the rebels and opened the war.

In the remaining two months of this winter, the rebels suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the rebels could not wait to make peace with the Russian coalition forces, so they walked in Grove for half a month, and began to move to the top of Western Siberia with most of their men.

Along the way, the counterinsurgency army pursued and fought fiercely, and the rebels' strength and population decreased rapidly, and the population of 1.5 million, after a winter, after two months of escape, reached Upper Siberia, and when the counterinsurgency army broke through the blockade here, only 500,000 people remained, 300,000 soldiers and horses.

At this time, the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty, which had sufficient troops, had begun to attack, with the Goguryeo servant army attacking, the Russian captive soldiers attacking in the middle, and the Mongolian cavalry plus the Han Han army banner soldiers and horses and the Qing cavalry attacking.

If you want to say that the most resolute fight is the Russian prisoners in the middle, because they are dead ends, the Han army banner and the Mongolian cavalry behind them will bombard them with cannons, and the Goguryeo people on the left and right will intercept them and force them to retreat, Poland and Sweden of the Western coalition forces in front, Turkish soldiers and horses, the Russians are feuding with these three countries, and they have fought very fiercely in recent years, of course they Russians want to do these soldiers and horses, although they now represent the Great Qing Dynasty.

The Russian captives fought the hardest, the Poles, the Turks, and the Swedes retreated step by step, and as soon as they retreated, they were hundreds of miles, and then they stopped to collect the prisoners, and the captives were taken to the Goguryeo and Han military banners, where they were incorporated into the soldiers and horses, and the Russian prisoners and serfs replenished the Russian captive army on the spot.

To say that the Poles and Swedes were both regular armies and were once very powerful, why couldn't they stop these Russian serfs and adventurers who were captured by the Great Qing Dynasty?

It's really because the muskets and artillery provided by the Great Qing Kingdom are too sharp, the flowering bullets don't need money to smash down, the bead guns block the battlefield into a fire net with five bullets a minute, and the Poles and Swedes in armor on the defense are prepared, because they have already fought such a large-scale battle, but helplessly, their experience and weapons and equipment are too weak, and they can provide bows and arrows, sabers, spears and spears, a small number of arquebuses provided by a small number of them, Russian heavy cannons, as for advanced muskets and flintlock guns, Cannons, they also have them, but there are too few, they can produce all the kind of solid bullets, Russia and the British, the Spanish, the Dutch produce them, they don't buy much, and they won't give them much.

The Russians will not provide their own elite artillery and muskets from the three countries that they know are their enemies, they are also gradually improved and honed in the war against the Great Qing State, how can they provide these strategic weapons to their enemies, now it is just a temporary cooperation, and in the future, to defeat the Great Qing State, with the urine of the Russians, they have to drive out these three countries.

Therefore, the soldiers and horses of the Three Kingdoms with cold weapons and a small number of firearms were killed and wounded heavily, and they retreated for hundreds of miles, and even the population and materials they brought over fell into the hands of the Russian captive army.

In this way, they tore a gap in the Russian defense point, a gap hundreds of kilometers long and a hundred kilometers wide, and Russia hurriedly mobilized an army of serfs to counterattack.

At the same time, British, Dutch, and French mercenaries were dispatched to counterattack, and finally stopped the advance of the Russian captive army.

Kutuzov was anxious to block the attack of the Russian captive army, and ordered his troops to attack the Goguryeo soldiers and horses, Goguryeo soldiers and horses 800,000 people, plus the captive soldiers and the Qing Han army, the Manchu soldiers and horses, and the Mongolian tribes as wandering scout soldiers and horses.

In half a month, two million serfs were paid, and the Goguryeo soldiers and horses were finally defeated, and the entire Upper Siberia was occupied by the Russian expeditionary force, and finally welcomed the envoy group of Grove's return, knowing that the Han rebels had agreed to unite, Kutuzov was very happy, and arranged for Grove to return to Moscow, go back with these weapons and equipment, and then continue to command the battle in Western Siberia.

At the same time, the expeditionary force was ordered to outflank the rear of the Russian captive army.

In Lower Western Siberia, although the Han Chinese soldiers and horses were not as brave as the Russian captive army, they were fortunate to be steady, advancing step by step, and also advanced more than 100 kilometers away, and the distance between them and the Russian captive army in the center was only 350 miles.

The British, French, and Russian expeditionary forces in front of them retreated step by step, leaving behind many settlements and serfs, and fled.

The two sides fought on a terrain of 1,000 kilometers in West Siberia, and by the time the Russian regular army arrived, Russia had retreated more than 500 kilometers, almost half of the West Siberian Plain was lost, and the Qing Kingdom was about to reach the lower reaches of the Volga River.

At this time, the pursuing counterinsurgency army reported the news that all the rebels had entered the Upper Siberian Plain and had defected to Russia to the Qing court, and the Qing court was in an uproar.

While immigrating the population of Central Siberia, the Mongolian tribes who withdrew from it were warmer and better to live in Western Siberia than in Central Siberia.

This is also the reason why the Great Qing State agreed to abandon Eastern Siberia, Middle Siberia.

Compared with Siberia, the western part of the Russian Ural Mountains is more suitable for human survival, which is why the Qing Dynasty is willing to occupy it.

But they didn't know that when they went to the west of the Ural Mountains, they had already entered Europe.

They now have a population of 12 million, and they do not know whether they will be able to destroy Russia or gain a foothold in Europe under the attack of the Russian and Western coalition forces.

This is not Zhang Qiang's business.
