Chapter 125: The Second Counterattack

As soon as Birusirov entered the city with his army, Lu Yongshi chased him outside the city, and Lu Yongshi showed no signs of relaxing now, so he immediately began to attack the already very dilapidated Tyumen City and Greenburg. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, the Tobolsk Fortress, the False Tollinsk Fortress, and the Ekhotsk Fortress all began the process of a major counterattack, and this time China invested a total of three regular and complete armies, plus the 100,000 cavalry militia reservists of Zeng Lingqin, a total of more than 300,000 troops.

Although the Chinese army has no numerical superiority, China has an advantage in technology and firepower, so the more than one million troops that Russia has invested on the Sino-Russian border are not at all an opponent of the Chinese.

But Guangxu knew that this was not all the strength of the Russians, and they would continue to increase their troops, so Guangxu also issued a formal military service system throughout the country, and young people across the country had to participate in physical examinations and then serve in the military.

Before this, there has always been a saying that "a good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not nailed, but now Guangxu has ordered that no matter who everyone is, all must have the obligation to be a soldier, and it is best to have a certain knowledge to be a soldier in modern warfare, because in this era, all advanced technologies are usually used first in the army, so the army also has the role of expanding knowledge dissemination.

Therefore, in China in the future, there will be no saying that "Xiucai meets soldiers, and it is unreasonable", because Xiucai also has to come to be a soldier, and there is still a certain amount to be done, that is, Xiucai's monthly allowance is higher!

In this way, under the organization of the Nanjing Government and the General Staff Headquarters in Beijing, the nationwide conscription work was carried out in an orderly manner, and in order to set an example, Prince Gong's sons and Prince Qing's sons all had to join the army, and there was no reason to become officers as soon as they entered.

These little princes want to escape military service very much, and many other princes and princes also want to escape this military service, they all know that there are too many people who have died in the war now, and they really don't want their sons or grandsons to die on the battlefield, but the Nanjing government and the general staff only said one word, and these people have no choice!

Don't forget, now the emperor is also at the forefront!

Is your status more noble than that of the emperor?

In fact, there is another reason, that is, these descendants of the Qing Dynasty are really inferior to their grandfathers, and in the later emperors, either there are no sons or there are very few sons, this phenomenon is not only in the royal family, but a common phenomenon of the entire aristocracy.

But Guangxu doesn't mean to pity you, he is usually a nobleman who is supported by the people, if he is a nobleman who does not serve in the military, no matter how deep his background is! It doesn't matter how old his qualifications are! No matter how much credit his dad has!

Once verified, all of them will be exempted from the title of noble, reduced to commoners, and will never have a chance to turn over again, even my younger brother, Prince Xiaochu, will have to serve in the military after he returns, no one can be an exception!

These people only need to stay in the barracks for three months, and then learn some other knowledge, and then they can drive to the battlefield, and other knowledge can be learned while fighting on the battlefield!

Therefore, in China, the training of new troops is being intensified, and the armies that remain in the country are expanding, and the trained troops are marching on the ancient silk road, and Guangxu is preparing to put an army of one million people on the border in order to ensure the success of the war against Tsarist Russia, and now there is still a very big gap from this number.

Lu Yongshi began to swing the fortress cannon, such a huge cannon needs a long time to debug, so other artillery fire began to greet the Tyumen city in the distance, the sound of artillery fire covered all the city walls, and the Russian cavalry who did not slow down at all Even if they escaped the pursuit of the Chinese army, it was difficult to avoid the Chinese artillery.

Brusirov immediately began to write to the Russian Tsar to report everything here, and just two days ago the situation was very good, but now it has been defeated, my army of 200,000 men!

Brusirov knew that this place could not be defended, and it was impossible to resist the same shells as the Chinese rained, so while the Chinese army was not completely surrounded, breaking through was a correct choice!

But at this time the letter from the Russian emperor came, and at this time the letter sent by the Russian tsar five days ago, the meaning of the letter was to let Brusirov take advantage of the victory to pursue, not to give the Chinese a chance to breathe, and to let the Chinese know the power of the great Slavs!

At the same time, the letter also told him that he must pay attention to the collection of war spoils, and now Russia's strategic reserves are not much, especially guns and ammunition, and of course food is also insufficient, so you must recover the lost territory as soon as possible, so that China can give in as soon as possible.

Although we are not supplied with guns, ammunition and military supplies, we have very brave soldiers, and the tsar has collected a million soldiers in the country, which will be sent to the front in the Far East, hoping that Admiral Brusirov will be able to achieve an early victory, and when you triumph, I, the tsar, will personally crown you, and you will become the marshal of the empire!

Brusirov's heart is really extremely remorseful, why did he come here, the enemy on the other side is not an existence that he can recognize at all, it is really terrible, it is really terrible, but now the Chinese army outside has not given him time to sigh about life, he is about to make a decision, how to deal with the Central Army outside!

At the same time, the Chinese army also began a counteroffensive, Yang Liwen's Seventh Army began to attack Tobolsk Castle, Lu Yongxiang led the Sixth Army to attack the Katomsk and Ekhotsk fortresses, and Ma Wu's army also arrived in Astana to ensure the supply of supplies and be ready to respond to the front that needed help at any time.

After receiving Brusirov's letter, Nicholas II immediately began to bang on the table like crazy, the current Russian economy is very difficult, but there is no hope of success in the Sino-Russian war, but he is very unwilling, at this time his ancestors have gone through many generations of expansion to get the territory, so it must be recaptured.

Nikolai ordered to again recruit troops from all over the country, and again on the Western front, to be sure to bring the Chinese army!

So he immediately began to convene the Imperial Council, and all the people in Russia who had generals on their shoulders came, but the arrival of these people did not help the young emperor at all!

When these angry generals learned of the defeat of the Russian army, they were very angry, how could an army of more than 1.5 million people not be able to defeat the Chinese army of more than 300,000 people, it must be Brusirov and his lieutenants playing tricks, the Chinese are now very rich, must have received the benefits of the Chinese, so this defeat is caused by the incompetence and greed of the last one.

Let them come back, send them to a court-martial, hang them, break their swords, break their swords!

Nicholas II's head was so painful by these people that he drew his rifle and fired a shot at the ceiling, and the whole hall fell silent, so that the generals and government dignitaries drove the young tsar.

The young Tsar wore a traditional military uniform with a red, white and blue ribbon written on it, and two medals hung on his left chest, which were personally awarded to him by his father while he was still alive.

Nicholas II put the pistol on the table, then he put his hands on the table and bowed his head and spoke; "Let Brusirov return to St. Petersburg immediately to be investigated, and now the Duke of Mecklenburg, Friedrich, will take his place, and order Friedrich to regain the lost territory, otherwise I will send him to Siberia to herd sheep!"

At the same time, Nikolai also ordered the mobilization of the army, ordered the second reinforcement led by Field Marshal Ruyintsev to speed up the march and immediately support the Duke of Redlich, and in order to ensure a complete blow to China, there was also an army being prepared, led by Prince Barclay, ready to set off to conquer China at any time!

But there were still some Russians who remained awake at this time, but after all the generals and officials had left, Prince Yusupov spoke to Nicholas II; "Your Majesty! Our finances are simply not able to cope with such a huge war now, the smoke of the Crimean War has not yet dissipated, and our guns, ammunition, and supplies cannot keep up! ”

At this time, Nicholas II looked at this imperial uncle!

What are you trying to express?

At this time, Yusupov also spoke boldly; "Your Majesty! Now the Swedish army is also massing, and the Ottoman army is also gathering, and there is the German army。。。。。。 ”

At this time, Nicholas II stood up very angrily and spoke; "Enough! The troops I have only reached Sweden are gathering, but they are our defeated men, and besides, I have asked the Baltic fleet to keep a close eye on their movements, and as long as Osipovich's troops are present, Sweden will not make any serious trouble.

And the Turkish army has once again begun to gather in the direction of the Crimean fortress, so I did not draw some troops from this defensive line, so even if the Ottomans have any grievances, I am not afraid of them.

As for Germany, it is not a problem, I trust my cousin very much, he will definitely help me, so please be sure to understand the current situation well, and don't shake the morale of the army! ”

Prince Yusupov glanced at Grand Duke Madmitsu and Senator Puliskevich, and then, without saying anything, began to salute and leave, leaving Nicholas II alone in the room.

At this time, a man came out of the corner of the room, and he was the police chief of St. Petersburg, Ragil, who came to the side of Nicholas II!

Nicholas II immediately asked; "Isn't that envoy gone yet!"

Ragil said; "Yes, they still haven't left, and now they are living in Prince Yusupov's mansion!"

Immediately Nicholas II began to jump up and speak loudly; "This damn Bismarck, can't he help us Russia, it's all this old guy who is messing around, I'll write a letter now, you must send the most reliable person and deliver the letter to my cousin, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany!"

Ragil nodded and said yes!

I will never surrender, I will never accept surrender!

Nicholas II immediately began to wield a quill pen and write German on a blank piece of paper, complaining to his cousin, asking his cousin to immediately begin to depose the prime minister, and then come to the aid of his poor cousin, who now lacked nothing but a heart that loved him!

Ragil wanted to take out the pen in his arms and give it to the emperor, but he suddenly remembered that this thing had been found on the spy of the Chinese National Security Army, and it was better not to take it out and make the tsar angry!

But I can't write a few words with the Tsar, and I'm about to re-dip the ink, it's really too troublesome, or the pens used by the Chinese are easy to use, if only they could conquer China, they are really very rich!

Wilhelm II, who received this letter, was also very embarrassed, he didn't want to help his cousin, but from the country's point of view, he really couldn't help him, now many cooperation projects in Germany are very profitable, especially many big capitalists in Germany have invested in the Middle Ages, and Chinese businessmen have also set up factories in Germany, the products produced are very popular, and they even have porcelain firing technology!

As long as Germany is given a little more time, Germany will be able to learn a lot of technology, and then Germany's economy and technology will become the leading level of the Maison, and it is really not a wise thing to have a stiff relationship with China now.

Wilhelm II knew very well that China now has factories in France, Spain and other places, and the governments of those countries are very welcome, and Germany's advantage is that its cooperation with China is the earliest, so it seems that it is the most when it is obtained.

If they offend China, they will immediately move all these factories, and if they all go to France, it will be a disaster for Germany!

So William, although he hates the Chinese very much, he can't show his support for Russia too much now, and he is really sorry for my cousin, but he can still help this cousin in private.

Wilhelm II summoned one of his most trusted servants, who bowed his head and listened to the emperor's orders, and when he understood, he immediately performed the ceremony, and then withdrew!

He doesn't know! For two big countries like China and Russia, cleverness will not play a decisive victory at all!
