Until the spring of the fifteenth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the news of Napoleon's victory came from the west, and Zhou Lang even wondered if history had changed and Napoleon had risen!

But there are some doubts, didn't Russia also participate in the anti-French alliance, and did it continue to play the main role, is it that China's containment has made Russia send fewer troops to Europe than in history, resulting in a better situation for Napoleon?

Zhou Lang actually didn't know that Napoleon, a king who ruled strongly by military prestige, suffered a defeat at a time, and the consequences were very serious.

It's just that in the spring, China's military operations should begin, and the war of the French has nothing to do with China!

The spring offensive began, and after the news came back, Zhou Lang was first happy and then worried.

It's not because of victory and then defeat, but because of winning all the time, and victory comes too easily.

Ten days after the start of the war, after a brief battle, the Honjiuzhi Army, which had attacked from Tobolsk, captured the Russian fortress of Tyumen with only 30,000 troops, and then he advanced all the way to attack Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg, which were also easily conquered with little loss.

Zhou Lang thought at first that the main force of the Russian army had gone to Europe, but he felt more and more that something was wrong, even if Tyumen and Chelyabinsk were forgotten, how could the defenders of a fortress like Yekaterinburg not have combat effectiveness?

"Who is the commander-in-chief of the Russian army?"

Zhou Lang asked suddenly.

Huang Qiuwu, who was in charge of reporting next to him, immediately said: "Kutuzov! ”

Zhou Lang immediately understood, this guy wanted to play the game of Jianbi Qingye again.

The three cities of Tyumen, Yekaterinburg, and Chelyabinsk are indeed the gateway to Siberia for Russia, the most important cities, but Kutuzov can even give up Moscow, let alone these cities in Siberia.

"Did the army burn down the houses where they passed, leaving not a grain of grain behind?"

Zhou Lang asked, if the Russians do this, it will definitely be a strong wall, and they want to use the long logistics to drag down the Chinese army.

Huang Qiuwu shook his head and said: "As shown in the battle report of the army, the towns along the way are in good order. ”

Zhou Lang was a little puzzled, but he still believed in his judgment.

"Don't the Russians think we've gone deep enough? Afraid that we will burn down the house and food, and we will not be able to go deeper? ”

Huang Qiu worried: "Your Majesty is extremely worried. But our army had plenty of grain and grass in reserve last year. What I am afraid of is that the enemy will cut off my food supply. ”

Zhou Lang sighed: "I'm so worried too. Going deep into enemy territory is always unavoidable, what good ideas do you have that you don't have? ”

"From Kyakhta to Tobolsk, the distance is thousands of miles, but it is sparsely populated and the winter is very cold. If a large army is sent to sweep and burn its houses and destroy its grain stockpiles, I am afraid that the Russians will not survive this winter. ”

Huang Qiuwu came up with a desperate plan. This is a very feasible method, indeed, as he said, burning the houses of the people in the local villages and towns will basically cut off their way of life, and people will not be able to survive anymore, so naturally they will not be able to resist, and the back road of the army will not be afraid of harassment. This is an alternative use of the fortified wall.

But Zhou Lang still shook his head.

It's not that he's soft-hearted, it's that he's thinking about how to deal with Kutuzov's hard-walled tactics.

Jianbi Qingye is indeed vicious, even if he sees through it, he is helpless, because the vast territory of Russia is simply a dead knot, Napoleon almost requisitioned the whole of Europe chariots and horses, and could not meet the supply of 500,000 troops, so he had to collect grain on the spot, but the Russians burned their houses and grain, so that Napoleon could not get a grain of grain, and the result was almost all annihilation.

If those veterans managed to escape back, I am afraid that the Tsar was now thinking about how to sue for peace, rather than organizing some anti-French alliance.

With Napoleon's experience, Zhou Lang didn't dare to do it. Now the army has just crossed the Ural Mountains into Europe, and it was relatively close to China in Siberia before, and in addition, there is not much production in Siberia's agriculture, and it is almost the same to meet its own needs, even if it does not burn the houses and grain of local farmers, the Chinese army will not be able to collect much, and forced expropriation will cause resistance, so Kutuzov did not do it himself. I am afraid that what he hoped for was that the Chinese army would forcibly requisition grain and cause the peasants to revolt spontaneously.

It is estimated that after entering the territory of Europe, Kutuzov's fortified and cleared tactics will begin.

Of course, a famous general like Kutuzov will never stick to the old rules, and he will launch a counterattack at any time, so while solving the opponent's strong wall and clearing tactics, he must also be ready to fight the opponent at any time, which greatly restrains the spirit of the soldiers.

In doing so, Kutuzov firmly seized the initiative.

Zhou Lang didn't know at this time that Kutuzov's fate was actually influenced by him. Historically, Kutuzov was already physically and mentally exhausted when he repelled Napoleon, and persuaded the tsar to negotiate peace with France on favorable terms, but the tsar refused, allowing Kutuzov to lead the army to continue the expedition, and died in Western Europe. But this time the tsar did not let Kutuzov leave, but let him stay in Russia to deal with the attack of the Chinese, as a result Kutuzov got enough rest and recovered from the Napoleonic wars. Otherwise, the current Kutuzov is dead.

Huang Qiuwei couldn't guess what the emperor thought, but he was sure that the emperor was definitely not because of benevolence, what kind of benevolence did he tell the Yi people? It's just that after following the emperor for a long time, you know how much this emperor's thinking jumps, and you can never keep up with his rhythm.

So Huang Qiuwu asked seriously: "Your Majesty has any idea?" ”

Zhou Lang didn't answer directly, but asked, "How is the recent surrender?" ”

Huang Qiu worried: "Three hundred and eight Russian outlaws have been recruited. ”

There were many Russian outlaws in Siberia, and none of those Cossacks were outlaws. A large number of exiles, serfs who could not stand the oppression of the landlords, in short, Siberia was almost a lawless place, how could there be no outlaws.

Zhou Lang sighed: "It can't be a big deal just by relying on outlaws. There are no one or two useful people? ”

In this political form of Russia, there will always be a person who disagrees with the people in power, and many people are exiled. But I didn't find a few, and those who did not want to cooperate with China did not work, and coercion and inducement were not possible.

Huang Qiu replied: "There is one, there is just a news that it is a person who is engaged in law change. ”

Jurisconsult? Or reformers?

Zhou Lang became a little interested: "When can I send it back?" ”

Huang Qiu worried: "It's already on the way." Found from Perm, serving a prison sentence. The report said that he was close to Napoleon, and as a result, he was sentenced to exile. I don't know anything else. ”

Zhou Lang nodded: "What's your name?" ”

Huang Qiu worried: "Speransky! ”

Zhou Lang thought about it for a while, as if he had never heard of this name.

"He was captured from Perm! We've hit far enough. ”

Zhou Lang checked the map and said, he has crossed the Ural Mountains, and now the army is divided into two routes, one from Yekaterinburg to attack Perm, and one from Chelyabinsk to attack Ufa, both roads should be taken.

"Order the army to suspend the offensive. I'm afraid that if we stop, Kutuzov will attack, and he will not be able to let us gain a foothold. Let the army hold the two cities to the death, and the enemy retreat and do not pursue! ”

Zhou Lang ordered.

Kutuzov, a veteran, is not easy to deal with, and it is not good to fight war with Kutuzov Zhou Lang, but outside the war, Zhou Lang has an absolute chance of winning. Kutuzov's tactic of injuring 1,000 enemies and injuring 800 of the enemy by clearing the wilderness is completely unsolvable, and Napoleon cannot solve it, and Zhou Lang cannot solve it either, at least by means of war, and this is the most favorable plan formulated according to the geographical state of Russia. Napoleon now, Hitler later, are all in front of this tactic. Zhou Lang did not think that he was more military talented than Napoleon, and he did not think that the level of transportation in this era could be compared with the German army in World War II.

Therefore, it is impossible to resolve this kind of large-depth tactics on the battlefield, so you can only find a way from outside the battlefield.

Zhou Lang decided to launch a political offensive against Kutuzov!
