Zhu Jishi sat on a gilded carriage on his way from Beijing to Chengde. Along the way, he talked and laughed with two French women, so he was not merry. This war is different from the previous times, although Zhu Jishi is called "Imperial Driving Expedition", but in fact he has no intention of going to the front. And the current means of communication are simply not enough for Emperor Zhu to remotely control the army in the rear - unless he learns from those emperors of the Song Dynasty and uses what "array" to command blindly. Of course, he would not do this kind of thing, so Luo Junqi, Li Wenmao and Miao Peilin on the Mongolian front line have great authority, and Luo Junqi is the most determined person in the military.

As for the emperor's own thoughts, now they are all in the body of this princess of the Napoleonic family, uh, no, in terms of identity - Napoleon N Empress of the Great Mexican Empire...... Sounds awesome!

Of course, this Great Mexican Empire is just a spare tire, and if the dismantling of the United States is not successful, it should find a way to make a Greater Mexico come out, recover the lost territory in the Mexican-American War, and fight against the American imperialists with the support of Britain, France and Ming! In short, in order to defeat US imperialism, we, Emperor Zhu, have really thought of all kinds of methods.

The current Emperor Zhu must not know what to do, and there really is a Mexican Empire supported by Napoleon III in history. The emperor was not Princess Mathilde, but the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz. Joseph I's hapless brother Maximilian I. He was fooled by Napoleon III into becoming emperor in Mexico, but within a few years of his reign as emperor was the Indian president of Mexico, Benito. Juarez (1.35 meters tall) was caught and shot. I really wonder if there will be a tragedy in this time and space where a dwarf shoots Snow White......

And as a possible tragic heroine, the white-looking Princess Mathilde now has no idea that Zhu Jishi wants to put a very dangerous crown on her head. At this time, he was selling Zhu Jishi a plan for a "Grand Duchy of Siberia".

"Under His Majesty the Emperor, the tenacity of the Russians is second to none in all of Europe. This nation will not compromise easily. We in the Napoleonic family felt this very deeply. If you want the tsar to cede East Siberia or all the land east of Lake Baikal. Unless you can take Moscow and Petersburg! Therefore, the colonization of Chinese to Eastern Siberia with a mutually acceptable Grand Duchy is the most feasible and most likely to be accepted by Russia......"

Zhu Jishi couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this Princess Mathilde say Napoleon III's suggestion. This Napoleon III is not lacking in skill and vision, but unfortunately there are too many such figures in Europe. Prussia will soon produce a Bismarck, and if Napoleon III has an attempt to unite with Russia, he will probably be ruined by him, right? There is an Alexander II in Russia, and that is the Tsar after Peter the Great! Britain doesn't talk about it. O Victorian in its glory! How many outstanding people should there be? Even Italy has Mazzini! Only Austria doesn't seem to have any characters, by the way, there seems to be a princess Sissi. It seems to be a princess of Bavaria, I don't know if Lu Dao is married to Franz. Joseph I, this old fool (Emperor Zhu still knows Franz. Joseph I was the initiator of the First Great War of the World).

"A Grand Duchy, huh?"

Zhu Jishi Haluha smiled: "But I am the Great Khan of the Mongols, Siberia is the homeland of the Mongols of Buryatia, and I am their Great Khan, how can I hand over them to a condominium Grand Duchy?" The Russians are tough, right, so what? Soon I will lay the railway in Tengger City, in the City of Trading, and in the future on the shores of Lake Baikal. Spread to the Yenisei River! Moreover, I also have the support of the indigenous people of Siberia, and the Russians have miscalculated if they want to fight with me in Siberia. And. Your Royal Highness, do you think it is too early to discuss such an issue? After all, our war with Russia has not yet begun. ”

……

"Lord Dutong, the scout rangers we released from afar have crossed the Orkhon River all the way, and we have not found the movement of the main force against the Ming Dynasty. Our horse team can quickly advance to the southeast! ”

Fu Fang, the commander of the Yellow Banner of the Eight Banners New Army, sat on the ground, nibbling on dry food while listening to several of his assistant leaders and staff leaders report to him the results of the day's reconnaissance. These high-ranking generals of the Eight Banners New Army are one of the few capable people in the current bannermen, and everyone has participated in the Battle of Huaxian and the Battle of Ningjin, and they are all tough guys who are unwilling to die in the country.

The 6,000 Yellow Flag horse corps led by Fu Fang and the 3,000 Cossacks of the Russians made a detour to the south on the west bank of the Orkhon River. Now he is in the area near Helin, the ancient capital of the Mongol Empire, where the water and grass are abundant and the supply is relatively easy. However, Fu Fang did not approve of the big detour route chosen by Rosovsky, this circle was too big, it was better to pass quickly near Kulen and smash the railway line south of Kulen before the Ming army could react. However, Rossovsky believes that Russia is not currently in a state of war with the Ming Dynasty, so the Russian army should try to avoid confrontation with the Ming army in Mongolia.

But if you want to avoid confrontation, what are you doing with the south, is it "deterrence"? How can this be a bit of the meaning of the Eight Banners in the past, and his own 6,000 Eight Banners are not used by the Russians as a waste of the green camp!

When listening to the report of his subordinates, Fu Fang always had this kind of thought in his mind, which was not conducive to the unity of Russia and Manchuria.

However, Yi Xin's will to him was to obey Rosovsky's command and ensure that Rosovsky's Russian army would not suffer losses as much as possible. This clearly asks his 6,000 Eight Banners soldiers to be used as cannon fodder for the Russians!

There was a sound of horses' hooves, and it turned out to be Rosovsky riding a horse, and under Rosovsky's crotch was a golden-haired Don hippopotamus, tall, robust, and very strong in endurance and long-lasting adaptability, which was an intermediate type of Arabian horse and Mongolian horse, in fact, the Don hippopotamus was a hybrid of Mongolian horse, Akha-Tak horse and Arabian horse. Of course, the advantages of the Don hippopotamus are only relative, they are inferior to Arabian horses in terms of speed and impact, and they are inferior to Mongolian horses in terms of endurance and adaptability. Therefore, this time in the south, the ordinary Russian cavalry were equipped with two Mongolian horses as secondary horses, and the officers were all equipped with three Don hippos.

"Your Excellency, the main force of the Ming Gouzi has not been found on the east bank of the Orkhon River, it seems that the Ming Gouzi of Kulun will not dare to come out at all and go to the grassland to fight us!"

Listening to Fu Fang's report, Rosovsky frowned a little. If the light cavalry of the Ming army did not dare to confront the Cossacks, he believed it. But to say that they didn't dare to fight with the Eight Banners Horse Team was in a dream, and the Eight Banners Horse Team let them drive them from Guangdong to the northernmost trading city in Outer Mongolia!

But why didn't Kulen's Ming army send out cavalry? Did they find out that there were Cossack cavalrymen disguised as Eight Bannermen? He looked back at the tall woolly bear riding on the Don River horse, although he was wearing the cotton armor of the Eight Banners, but it was still quite different from those Manchurians. But what if you find out? Immediately declare war on the Russian Empire? That's not a matter of time or time! Who cares?

Rosovsky finally made up his mind: "That's right, the steppe is not the world of the peasant nation, this is the territory where our Cossacks and the children of the Eight Banners gallop!" Now I order the whole army to turn to the southeast, the target, the railway line of the Ming army!

Also, wipe out all the Mongols you encounter along the way, and leave not a single one behind! ”

At the same time, the two horsemen galloped out of the Old Summer Palace with urgent military reports, and finally caught up with Emperor Zhu's convoy, which was heading to Chengde.

"Your Majesty, there is a large force of Eight Banners Horse Team heading south, the number may reach several thousand, and it has already made a roundabout way from the west of Tengger City to the south!

In addition, Luo Shuai has already led his troops to fight the city. ”

Weng Tongyong, the vice minister of the imperial study, handed the report to Emperor Zhu in the carriage. Then he stood solemnly with his hands down, waiting for the emperor's command.

"What? A large group of Eight Banners marched south, and there were several thousand ...... Luo Junqi went to the trading city? Zhu Jishi was stunned for a moment, the news seemed to be a little unexpected by him, but the emperor quickly made a decision, "Let Gui Guogong come to my carriage immediately!" (To be continued......)
