[0967 The reaction of Tsarist Russia and the Qing court]

"Is there no way to destroy them? The area west of the Yenisei River is completely under our control, except for the 50,000 troops facing Turuhansk, there are at least more than 30,000 troops along the Irtysh River, which is at least twice as many as the Chinese army, and there are stable cities to rely on, how can the Chinese army survive? ”

War Minister Dimitrimiryukin shook his head, "Your Majesty is not familiar with their bandits' fighting style, without 100,000 people, it is difficult to completely annihilate them, and we must increase our troops along the Irtysh River, otherwise, don't say that Omsk can't be saved, maybe even the army we sent to the Xinjiang region of the Great Qing Kingdom will be eaten!" ”

Tsar Alexander II frowned, squinted his eyes, took a puff of smoke, puffed out a thick smoke, and said slowly: "However, we have no troops to send, and now the finances are tight!" I remember that our war in the East has always been that sending 10,000 or 20,000 men is enough to defeat the opponent and obtain huge profits, and now, how did it become like this? ”

Tsar Alexander II said, and came to the edge of the map, his map is much worse than President Meng's map, a very simple map, the rivers and mountains are not very accurate, but the deployment of the Tsarist Russian army is very clear, and the logo of the Chinese army is very general, but on the two cities of Turukhansk and Irkutsk, a few black and red five-pointed star flags representing the Chinese army were drawn.

"Yes, mainly because we were suddenly dragged into the war, obviously, Hua was prepared, and we were completely unprepared, Your Majesty." War Minister Dimitrimiryukin did not know what to come up with, and he stopped talking. He looked at the map and didn't know what advice to give to the Tsar, in fact, now Dimitrimiliukin's own mind was in turmoil.

Tsar Alexander II looked at Dimitrimiryukin and sighed, "We should now be calm, slowly drag them to death with our troops, and tell the defenders around Omsk that they will bite hard when they see the Chinese army, and we will try our best to send reinforcements over, so that they are not afraid of sacrifice, and use blood and fire to maintain the glory of our Great Russia!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." War Minister Dimitrimiryukin sighed, and said in his heart what is the use of talking big at this time?

Tsarist Russia's logistics system is in chaos, far from the complete system of the Chinese army, the Chinese army is logistics with the operational plan, unified under the control of the General Staff, only in the early stage of the rest and recuperation plan, will consult the president's secretariat, and when the plan is launched, the president's secretariat basically does not ask.

And what about the Tsarist army? What is missing today, urgently ask for instructions today, and then urgently raise funds in the rear, it is simply too late, many times, military supplies rely on the army to supply nearby, fortunately they are defensive operations, there is a place to rely on!

Zuo Zongtang, who was far away in Yinchuan, heard that the Chinese army had already reached the Kazakh area, and he couldn't believe it, "Is this news accurate?" So, the Chinese army knocked out all of Siberia? ”

Zuo Zongtang's face was shocked, he couldn't believe that this was the truth, you know, how big Siberia is, how strong Lao Maozi is, no one knows better than him, a person who has fought with Maozi.

"Yes, Lord Zhongtang, there is absolutely nothing wrong, the news was brought back by the merchants, although the Chinese army did not completely occupy the entire Siberia, but it can be seen that Lao Maozi is not good, the Chinese army is simply developing too fast, it is said that they have more than 400,000 regular troops!" The master replied.

However, the regular army of the Chinese army now has an establishment of 26 divisions, and this part of the regular army alone has more than 500,000 people, not to mention more than 400,000.

Zuo Zongtang waved his hand, "It's terrible, but the number you said is definitely more than that, as far as I know, they are seven or eight hundred thousand regular troops alone, not including the garrison troops in various places, all of them add up, at least two million!" We can't even catch up with a fraction of what they do. ”

Zuo Zongtang said too much, in short, they don't have an exact number.

"However, maybe this is a good thing, the unification of the whole country in China, it seems that it can't be stopped, we have been helping them build railways, and we can be regarded as doing something, when the time comes, see what President Meng wants to do, as long as there is no war, I support President Meng to solve the national problem peacefully." Zuo Zongtang's eyes lit up and said.

Master nodded, "Lord Zhongtang's move is good for the country and the people, indeed, there is no benefit for the Han people to kill each other." ”

"Continue to closely monitor the movements of the Great Northwest, speed up the progress of the construction of the railway, and remember, my Zuo Zongtang's Chu army is now half of the Chinese army!" Zuo Zongtang seemed to have made up his mind, since last year, President Meng led troops into the capital, Zuo Zongtang and a group of foreign pioneers, in fact, have already felt that the general trend of the Qing Dynasty has gone, and President Meng did not immediately overthrow the Qing court, but everyone admires President Meng is not good, can hold the authority, and not immediately take the world, what kind of courage is this? Not to mention that President Meng is so young, it's something that any emperor can't help it!

"Yes! Nakado-sama. The master agreed, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Almost at about the same time as Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang and the Empress Dowager Cixi also got the news.

Now, the whole of China is basically connected to the telegraph, there are Chinese banks and telegraph offices everywhere, and there are shops with Chinese signboards, President Meng allowed the Qing court to continue to exist, and allowed the Qing court to remain the nominal administrator of most of China's regions, but in terms of industry, education, and commerce, Hua Guo was not prevented from entering the Qing court's area.

All parts of the Qing court are now basically in a state of autonomy!

The more President Meng is like this, the more everyone feels that the unification of China is really a matter of minutes, and the greater the psychological pressure, and there is not even a situation where President Meng imagined, there are armed secessions everywhere, because they don't dare, the power of the government is still there, and the officials are thinking the most now, but they can contribute to the reunification of China and make meritorious contributions, after all, there are a large number of ministers who have devoted themselves to China from the Qing court and have been reused as an example.

After reading the telegram, Li Hongzhang just sighed faintly, and said to Sheng Xuanhuai: "The progress of the construction of the railway in Huguang should be accelerated, we can't lose to Zuo Zongtang, it seems that the imperial court is really the general trend, I originally thought that Xuan Yuemeng would not take the world first, but go to play Lao Maozi first, it is a stinky move, who would have thought that the strength of Huaguo is so strong, it seems that Huaguo's industry is the real industry, if the Queen Mother had listened to me earlier, reform our machine bureau, all changed to official supervision and commercial office, increase the scale and investment, We're not going to lose the world so quickly. ”

Sheng Xuanhuai shook his head, he was one of the people who didn't want President Meng to win the world, but there was no way, "Lord Zhongtang, it's not an industrial matter, it's a problem of the system, all the systems used by Xuan Yuemeng are Westerners, and they are all a set of foreign devils, what do we use?" Or has it been the old yellow calendar for thousands of years, where is Xuan Yuemeng's opponent? Now, Huguang, Sichuan, Yunnan-Guizhou, and the entire southwest are full of new learning and new ideas, and a group of people talk about constitutional monarchy all day long, and they all advocate Xuan Yuemeng's early accession to the throne! The imperial court must now either move the capital to the southwest as soon as possible, otherwise, this piece may not be able to be defended by itself without being beaten by others. ”

Li Hongzhang sighed, "There is no more drama and singing, send someone to convey congratulations to President Meng, send a congratulatory message, and prepare a heavy gift!" What we can do is only to stabilize the situation, don't mess up, leave a peaceful and prosperous world, this is the only thing we can do, and increase the intensity of the crackdown on bandits, so that China can see our ability, the more chaotic, the more people will be looked down upon! Millions of Chinese troops, do they have to wait until others come and go to suppress the bandits themselves? ”

"Yes, student understood." Sheng Xuanhuai agreed and withdrew.

The officials of the Qing court, the governors, and the governors all had the same idea as Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang, and at this time, the Qing court ruled the area, but there was a thriving atmosphere, because everyone felt that the Chinese army would not seize the world by force, and President Meng wanted to solve the national problems peacefully and order peace, which was exactly what President Meng wanted.
