The Tsar anxiously waited for the weather to warm up, and the Chinese attacked in small groups last year, creating a storm in the surrounding estates. The nobles had long since ceased to be in the manor, the Chinese army was nearby, and they had long since gone to the safer big cities, and some even went to Moscow.

Under such circumstances, when the Chinese army swept the surrounding estates, no nobles even rose up to resist, and the serfs were already generally aware of the Chinese policy, and they could not spontaneously resist, and there were many people who cooperated with the Chinese to seize the landlords' estates.

A bunch of rebels!

The local nobility also constantly reported to the tsar that Speransky had recruited all kinds of prisoners exiled in the Krai, all kinds of fugitives from Siberia, to his side and formed a puppet government. Those officials who had committed economic crimes, transported and sold various illegal publications, and exiled officials became officials of Speransky's puppet government, and those fugitives and outlaws became Speransky's policemen, and now help the Chinese spread the benefits of abolishing serfdom.

A bunch of rebels!

What the Tsar didn't know was that the things that Speransky's men did were not cooperating with the Chinese army, but the Chinese army was cooperating with them, otherwise it would be impossible to attack in winter. It's just that what these people are doing, in the eyes of the Tsar, is simply something that makes relatives and enemies happy, of course, anti-thieves.

The Tsar, like the local aristocracy, hated Speransky more than the Chinese, and the rulers and ruling class always hated traitors more than enemies.

So the local aristocracy hoped that the tsar would negotiate peace with China as soon as possible, and then bring the traitor Speransky to justice.

The tsar also wanted peace talks, judging from the current situation, the Chinese were difficult to deal with, and he was confident that the Russian army could annihilate the Chinese army in the field, but the Chinese were cowards, hiding in the fortress and not coming out, so that the Russian warriors could not perform.

The bad news continued one after another, and the tsar even received reports that the Chinese had formed a Russian puppet army, not knowing whether it was recruited from Siberia or the Urals.

This made the tsar concerned about the administrative system of the frontiers, and his own government was so lacking in management of the frontiers that it might be time to consider the establishment of a regular government in Siberia. However, there are only a million people here, and how to manage it, it may be possible to consider the introduction of serfdom in Siberia, and the peasants without aristocratic management have no loyalty to speak of.

It is simply incomprehensible that the Russians would fight for the Chinese or come to fight him, the tsar.

Alexander was in a bad mood, and the bad news was mounting.

Kutuzov finally died, he became ill from overwork, died of illness, and as early as last year, after repelling Napoleon, Kutuzov's condition was not very optimistic, and it was a lucky thing to be able to hold on to it until now. The Tsar ordered Kutuzov's body to be embalmed and buried when he returned to Moscow.

The tsar was anxious to wait for spring and then launch a full-scale attack on the Chinese.

When the weather was a little better in March, Alexander could not wait to order his army to set off immediately, and along the way the serfs who had shared the wealth of the landlords in the winter returned to the point of poverty, and the landlords followed the army, took back their estates, repossessed their dwellings, hanged the serfs who opposed them, and terrorized the others. Some serfs were frightened, some serfs chose to resist, they fled to the barracks of the Chinese, they wanted to take revenge on the nobles who did not give them a way to live, as for fighting the tsar, they did not want to, the tsar is the little father of the Russians, he must have been blinded by the courtiers beside him, they want the side of the king, yes, the side of the king!

Thousands of serfs joined the Chinese army, and they were only organized into auxiliaries to transport supplies. At the same time, they began to conduct formal training, and weapons were temporarily suspended. The Chinese army still doesn't trust them.

The Tsar's army approached again, and the result was no different from before, they could not break through the Chinese defense system, if the Westerners were good at field warfare, the Chinese were good at defending cities, and even used defending cities to fight in the field. Kangxi was indeed very weak in the battle of Yaksa, and thousands of people could not defeat the small city defended by the Russians, but Kangxi's siege was also very successful, so that Yaksa was cut off from all contact with the outside world, and the Russians could not escape. The method was to build several ditches outside the city of Yaksa, and to place warships on the river to cut off traffic in any direction.

The defensive system of trenches has always been mastered by the Chinese, but Westerners insist that trench warfare was invented during World War I. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Qing army and the Ming army fought in this way outside the Guan, and the Manchus even quickly mastered the firepower that had no dead ends if they were deployed in the trenches.

The Chinese can besiege the city and defend it even more, but as a result, the Russian army cannot fight at all, but it loses troops in vain, sleepy, trapped, fighting, fighting, and the tsar is in a dilemma.

At this time, the Tsar suddenly received a disturbing news that Napoleon had been restored!

His negotiators who remained in Europe immediately sent back the latest news that Napoleon had escaped from the island of Elba, where he had been in exile.

The troops sent by the restored Bourbon King Louis XVIII to attack Napoleon all defected, and some of them did not receive orders, and even took the initiative to shout long live the emperor and ran to the front to meet Napoleon. Thousands of peasants followed Napoleon's ranks and sent them before the next wave of peasants, who were responsible for supplying them.

Napoleon used his prestige all the way to Paris in the welcome of the lower classes, and Louis XVIII fled. The people of Paris, who shouted last year to bring down Napoleon, are now shouting Long live Napoleon.

Hearing that the bitch Frenchman welcomed Napoleon back again, Alexander's face turned pale, and Napoleon left too deep an impression on him.

Although his rational ministers felt that China was now a greater threat to Russia, the Tsar remembered that Napoleon had invaded his Moscow, and the Chinese could only stay in the Urals for several years.

He considered taking his troops back, corresponding to the alliance of the British, to suppress Napoleon first, and then return to attack China.

After all, Napoleon was the nightmare for the monarchs of all Europe.

In addition, if Russia did not participate in the suppression of the weakened Napoleon this time, then Britain, Austria and Prussia would have suppressed it, and Russia's newly formed influence in Europe would disappear in an instant, and it would once again have no say in European affairs.

With this in mind, the tsar decided to send part of his forces to France to participate in the war.

Anyway, the Chinese will only defend the city, not the field.

This impression buried Alexander's army.

Because when it was discovered that the Russian army began to move, the Chinese commanders began to discuss that they came to Russia to fight, and where not to seize such a good opportunity, although the emperor hoped that they would always remain stable and defend if they could, but the emperor did not say that they could not attack.

The Tsar had about 400,000 troops under his command, and the size of their deployment did not look like 100,000 men, and the key was that the vacancy left after the army's action could not but be seized.

Therefore, after deliberation, Zhao Wen, Gou Quan, Hong Jiuzhi and other generals immediately decided to attack by the most elite commander's battalion to storm the vacancy in the Russian army, and the others led the whole army to press, taking advantage of the chaos of the Russian army to fight a decisive battle with the Russian army.

A general battle began in the Ullah region.

After the great melee, the Chinese army achieved a brilliant victory, destroying 150,000 enemies and capturing 80,000 enemies. The losses of the Chinese army were very small, and they only paid the price of 20,000 casualties, which can almost be said to be a complete victory.

This general battle brought the war to an end, and Russia had to meet whatever demands the Chinese made after that.

But after learning the results of the war, Zhou Lang sighed a little, he also likes victory, but this kind of victory is not what the rulers like, this kind of victory is only what the generals like, the rulers like the smallest cost, the biggest gain, and the generals think that glory is priceless, worth pursuing with priceless lives, but after the generals do this kind of thing that the monarch does not like, the monarchs must also reward them richly, this is politics, full of paradoxes.

Defeating Russia was not Zhou Lang's goal, because it was not impossible to defeat Russia, but it was impossible to rule Russia.

Therefore, this general battle is meaningless at all, if it is not fought, the Russians have no choice, the life and death of those Russians, Zhou Lang does not care at all, but he has to feel distressed about the loss of 20,000 Chinese soldiers, which is a cost that he does not need to pay at all.

In addition, this battle completely disrupted Zhou Lang's plan, he planned to withdraw his troops next year, accept Russia's cession of the Americas and recognize Kazakhstan as belonging to China, and did not demand reparations from the Russians.

For several years, paying the price of a billion taels of silver in exchange for these lands that can only recover their costs after hundreds of years can only be reluctantly accepted.

But now the cost has increased again. And if you don't want Russian compensation in this state, you will have a reputation for tolerance, Zhou Lang thinks it's not good, let others see that you will be tolerant after provoking you, then there will only be more and more people who provoke you, and giving up reasonable compensation is unreasonable in itself.

Zhou Lang plans to start maintaining a long-term peace with Russia after withdrawing his troops next year, and believes that after the Russians see that China is not an opponent that can be easily defeated, they will no longer look at the east, and then begin to move westward, clashing with Britain and Prussia, and replacing Napoleon as the biggest target of British attack.

China, on the other hand, began to turn around and face the sea, and began to expand overseas.

But now this war has basically defeated Russia, this is not to reduce a competitor to China, this is to reduce a henchman to the British, the British can rest assured that they can boldly project their power to the colonies in the future, and a colonial empire will be established faster.

During Napoleon's invasion, the Russians had already borne a heavy price, and the price paid by the fortified wall was probably greater than Napoleon's losses, Napoleon's losses were only hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but Russia burned down the farmland where Napoleon passed, burned down the houses, burned down the granaries, and even burned Moscow, and before it was rebuilt, they went to France to continue the war with Napoleon, and then came back to fight with the recuperated Chinese army, and their defeat was actually conceivable.

Now that hundreds of thousands of troops have been crushed, is it possible for them to regain their strength without the support of the British?

Will the British still support Russia?

British Foreign Secretary Castlereagh personally drew up a treaty of alliance against Russia and Prussia, drawing Austria and France into the alliance, so that they could suddenly provide pound aid to the Russians, and the British were not stupid!

The British will not fail to see that this is their most advantageous situation, France has just been defeated, and Russia, which is now replacing France in Europe, has been crushed again, and there is no possibility of a hegemon in Europe in the next thirty years, how can the British support Russia to restore its strength!

The less pressure Russia bears from Britain, the more China will inevitably have to bear. So sometimes victory is not good, just like Napoleon won every time, but his Paris surrendered.
