Chapter 429: Talent Plunder

When Cliff was killed in battle and the Cossack cavalry that followed him east was completely destroyed, the main forces of the Russian army were still searching back and forth on both sides of the Volga River for the so-called secret troops.

But as they continued to reconnect with the major cities in the east, they still couldn't find the troops who fought the Tsar's death and Huang Tian was in charge.

In order to find this so-called unit, the Russian army searched in the ice and snow, marched eagerly, and reduced the non-combat personnel to one or two levels, which was still because they were Russian natives, otherwise it would be much more.

For this reason, many troops complained again and again! I think that the nobles in the military department are a group of bastards, and the so-called troops must be the ghosts of these bastards.

As for the Imperial Military Department, it should have been happy to determine that there were no so-called Chinese troops on both sides of the Volga, at least it showed that the Chinese Army was not yet capable of attacking the Empire, and that it would not pose a threat to the Empire, and that the so-called Chinese Army must have gone wrong, that someone must have lied, that someone must have rebelled, and that the local incompetent bureaucrats deliberately sent their hats to the head of the Chinese Army in order to exonerate themselves.

Well, let's get back to business, because in the Kremlin at this time, His Majesty the Tsar is angry again, which is a rare anger after he ascended the throne, but when he meets the Eastern Empire, he is angry one after another.

"Liar! Swindler! Fake! Fake is fake! ”

Nikolayevi can't be blamed for the roar, because the news of the demise of Cliff and others finally reached Moscow half a year later.

Suddenly losing such a huge number of troops, can he not get angry?

Cossack cavalry, this is a Cossack cavalry!

When did there ever be such a heavy loss, and what is even more excessive is that the Chinese State not only recovered Yili, but also occupied Lake Balkhash, so that the Kazakh steppe lost one-third of its people, and it was the most lush area of water and grass.

Together with the Bukhara side, the imperial army was also squeezed out, retreating one after another, with heavy losses, and this winter, the Russian army was expelled from Asia, and the Chinese power reached the Caspian Sea.

This is a red flag, the danger of a duel.

The two great empires of the East and the West had direct contact, and both of them had contradictions with Tsarist Russia, and if the Ottoman Empire had formed an alliance with the Chinese army, the empire would have been somewhat passive.

So blame Nikolaevi for not being in a hurry!

But now it is winter, it is somewhat impossible to send troops to the east again, yes, the logistical pressure is also very great, to cross the steppe, the number of troops transported will not be too much, and in the end it is necessary to rely on the recruitment of Cossack cavalry as the main force.

The question arises again, will this loss of tens of thousands of Cossack cavalry make the other Cossacks afraid, and will they dare to go to the East?

At the end of the First World War in Yili, Yang Dongfang got his wish and took people back to the provincial capital for the New Year.

By the end of 1866, China had made great achievements in military affairs and made great progress in other areas.

First of all, the railway Beijing to Changping section is basically completed, the Jinghan railway exploration is completed in the early stage, after the Lantern Festival can break ground, the implementation of two-way construction, and then Zhengzhou convergence, the original land connection.

The following is the exploration and mapping of the section from Wuhan to Guangzhou, it is expected that the first imperial longitudinal line will be opened in three to four years, the second longitudinal line and a horizontal line will be opened in five to six years to complete the basic railway structure of the inner province, and within ten years, except for the plateau province and other provinces, all other provinces will build railways, and the railways will be connected.

At the beginning of 1867, Emperor Yang Dongfang issued an edict to expand the army, doubling the country's military strength, and requiring the military department to make a plan to gradually expand the strength of the national standing defense force to more than 2 million within five years.

At the beginning of 1867, Emperor Yang Dongfang issued an edict on immigration, and the number of immigrants to the Americas should reach 500,000 and 3 million within five years; 400,000 immigrants to Hawaii in five years!

In the area of education, the first national unified examination and the first government recruitment examination were implemented this year, and the imperial examination has not been looked back again, and all units of the state have recruited new young people who are suited to the national conditions.

This year, Yang Dongfang's moving coordinates were scattered all over the world, and under the hard work of the agents, all major and small cities around the world basically had coordinate points.

The mountains and rivers are not immune, and the islands and the North and South Poles in the sea have also become the next step of the agents' journey.

In short, almost all parts of the world are covered by his projection, and the grid covering the world has not been basically formed and completed every year.

Of course, this year was characterized by Yang Dongfang as a year of peace, he was not ready to expand abroad and launch a war, of course, if the Russian army attacked to the east, after all, the expansion of new recruits requires actual combat training, and the only one who can fight against the Chinese Empire at present is the Russian army, and it is just the new troops to be sent to the west in turn to fight.

This year was characterized by Yang Dongfang as a year of talent plunder, what is the most important thing in the future world, talents!

After the coordinate point structure was completed, the easiest job for the agents was to collect talent information from various regions, and then summarize it to the national capital.

As a result, there was a loss of people from many places around the world this year, which made some elites tremble, because newspapers always published such reports.

"It is reported! Professor xx! xx engineers! xx physicists, chemists, mathematicians! disappeared inexplicably at home, according to the description of the insider xx neighbor Dashan, at that time there was a lightning in the sky, the wind was surging, and a hellish cry sounded in the xx house, and xx was even more at home.

According to more reactions, xx was kidnapped by someone, and there were dozens of humanoid monsters with long tentacles and pale skin and skinny bones, they glowed slightly, and then took xx away, and when they left, there was a huge oval saucer on the ground, and then spewed out white gas, and suddenly flew away ......! ”

This kind of thing happened all over the world in this year, which made people feel panicked for a while, and after a long time, this kind of event was characterized as a UFO event by some good people, so 1867 is also called the first year of UFO......

Well, the protagonist of this total event was in Boston, Commonwealth of America.

"Hell! What are you! ”

Inside a house near the suburbs, Gatlin let out a scream and fell to the ground.

No wonder, it turned out that there were dozens of humanoids in front of them, their whole bodies were wrapped in gray-brown skin, no clothes, no hair, countless wrinkles on the outside, pointed heads, and oversized ears, no matter how you look at them, they look like monsters.

"Huh! Don't be nervous, Mr. Gatlin, we have no ill will! ”

The monster can speak, and it speaks English! Gatlin was shocked, shivering a little, but then he breathed a sigh of relief, for the monster's head was twisted open, yes.

Then, and then there was a head, and it turned out that it was not a monster, but a person, and it turned out that the outside was wrapped in a layer of humanoid skin, so it looked strange, especially in the dim night, and it was even more difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

Sure enough, people are scary, scared to death! Gatlin stroked his chest, I dripping a big heart!

But after he completely calmed down, he remembered again, this is yellow, Huaguo!

Yang Dongfang asked Gatlin to help him up and put him on the chair, and then he said condescendingly: "I think Mr. Gatlin understands my intention!" ”

Gatlin shook his head! There was a clue to it, but he wouldn't let go.

"Since Mr. Gatlin is so uncooperative, then let me tell you a story, the protagonist of the story is in our east, that is the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emperor has a woman surnamed Lu, but the emperor likes the new and hates the old and does not favor her.

Stayed at a place called Mrs. Qi every night, this Mrs. Qi seized the crown prince for her son, but the surname Lu won in the end, and his son became the emperor.

Afterward...... Later, the surname Lu cut off Mrs. Qi's hands and feet, deaf her ears, gouged out her eyes, and poisoned her with dumb medicine, and then threw her into the latrine, and later people called Mrs. Qi "Renbi" (zhì) ......! Yang Dongfang said this, and Gatling suddenly fell from his chair.

"Devil! She's a devil ......! ”

"Yes! She's cruel, but she's successful, isn't she?

So Mr. Gatlin, I guess you should tell me something! Yang Dongfang leaned over, lifted Gatlin up, and put him in the chair, with a harmless look on his face, and his smile was very true, but Gatlin didn't dare to look at it directly, and finally compromised and trembled and said:

"I say! I said, he's in Bar Harbor, ...... on that island! ”
