Chapter 683: Muravyov's cannon fodder The third update
Please, please, please, Rollo repeatedly begged for the first vote
At this time, there was a sudden sound of leather boots outside the lobby, which suddenly woke Yixin from his thoughts. He looked up and saw that it was the Russian Governor of Eastern Siberia and Irkutsk Colonel-General Muravyov and several Russian advisers who had swaggered in. The supreme commander of the Russian army on the Eastern Front did not know when Lu Dao had personally arrived in Kulen.
Yi Xin hurriedly got up to greet him, and said in the Russian he had just learned: "Your Excellency the Governor, which gust of wind brought you here?" Why don't you let people know in advance? We're ready to welcome you......"
"There's no time for this kind of red tape." Muravyov strode to Yi Xin's throne and threw a document in front of Yi Xin, "Your Majesty the Great Khan, this is a document appointing me as the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army, please sign it quickly, from now on I will take over your entire army!" ”
"Ah......h What do you mean, this sentence will take away all the military power of the Great Khan!
"I have just received news that the Russian Empire will soon go to war with Turkey...... The war may well have begun! The Ming Empire was an ally of the Turkish Empire, and according to the alliance duty, they would soon enter the war. Now the Russian Empire will stand with the Mongols and wage war against the evil Ming! In order to unify command, I needed to be the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian army. ”
After listening to Muravyov's explanation, the expression on Yixin's face became cloudy. The Russian Empire will soon go to war with Zhu Wei! Daqing has finally waited for this day! When the soldiers of Tsarist Russia arrive, don't you beat Zhu against a falling flower? Those Russian soldiers looked like big bears, and I heard that even Napoleon, the most powerful emperor of Europa, was planted in their hands. Not to mention Zhu Jishi, the Napoleon of the East (a nickname given to Emperor Zhu by Russian advisers in private)!
But he also knew that the Russians really did not have many soldiers in Eastern Siberia. The standing army may be less than 10,000 men. Even if all white men who can hold guns are mobilized, 30,000 people will be in the sky! And Zhu Jishi can invest no less than 500,000 troops on the Mongolian-Manchurian battlefield! It's almost thirteen or fourteen Han people beating a hairy bear, and even a real bear can't help but stab so many bayonets together, right?
"Before the arrival of reinforcements, the strength of the Russian army on the Eastern Front was quite limited, less than 10,000 people, and even the maximum mobilization was only 20,000 or 30,000. Therefore, in order to maximize the combat effectiveness of the Russian and Mongolian armies, it is now necessary to merge the two armies into one. Such. We have more than 100,000 available troops on the Mongolian-Manchurian battlefield! With an army of 100,000, it was enough to hold the situation until reinforcements arrived. Your Majesty, this is your only chance to restore your ancestral business! ”
Muravyov's words are practical enough, basically telling Yixin all the cards of Russia on the Eastern Front! It's just 10,000 guns, and being able to mobilize 20,000 is already the limit. The transportation conditions in Siberia are like this, and there is no way to maintain them with too many soldiers.
"Good one, good one...... Master Zhuo, pass on my holy decree, Muravyov's adviser should be ordered to be a general, with full authority to command all the soldiers of the Eight Banners! ”
"Also. One more will, Manchuria, Mongolia Eight Banners. Anyone who has reached the age of 13 and is up to 60 years old will enlist in the army! ”
Yi Xin mentioned the problem and signed the document brought by Muravyov, and at the same time dictated two holy decrees. It can be regarded as handing over all the military power in his hands to Muravyov. In fact, if you don't pay it, you can't do it, the Russian Empire is the most retreat for him Yixin and the nobles of the Eight Banners, if the Russians are offended, they will really have to go to the West Fourth Pailou to be stabbed (the place where people were killed in Beijing in the Ming Dynasty).
After receiving the signed document from Yi Xin's hand, Muravyov snapped up and raised his hand: "Your Majesty the Great Khan, I hope to be able to take over the command of the entire Eight Banners Army from tomorrow!" I know this army is terrible in preparation and training, but I'm going to make them all good lads in no time. ”
With that, Muravyov turned around and left the main hall, he had come all the way from Irkutsk on horseback, and he needed a good rest.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to hand over all the military power of the Eight Banners?" Zhuo Bingtian, who was kneeling on the ground to make a decree, saw Muravyov leave, hurriedly put down the brush, looked up and asked Yixin.
Yi Xin waved his hand: "Surrender, tens of thousands of rabble, there is no strength to fight at all." I can't straighten them out, so let's let the Russians come. Maybe it can really lead the elite, this is the last chance for our flag people, and if you don't cheer up, everything will be over...... Can we still bring so many people to Moscow Petersburg? Rather than letting them freeze and starve to death in Siberia, or die vigorously on the battlefield, it will not live up to the kindness of Aixinjueluo's family for 200 years. ”
Zhuo Bingtian sighed, picked up the brush and drafted the edict, let Yixin read it and use the seal, and then sent it to the military camp outside Kulun City.
After going down to the court, Zhuo Bingtian didn't have the heart to go to someone's house with a few colleagues in the Military Aircraft Department to listen to the drama and eat flowers and wine - the current Kulun, who doesn't live a good life for a day!
Now he is picked up and dropped off by a pannier chair, carried by two Mongolian horses, and a few family members of the guards, and there is no longer the pomp and circumstance of the past in Beijing. Fortunately, Kulun City is not big, and you can't walk a few steps to Zhuo Bingtian's deserted mansion.
A man who looked like a housekeeper was already waiting at the door, and when he saw Zhuo Bingtian's sedan chair, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Master, there is a guest visiting, it is Guerjia from Xining. Longevity. ”
"Gualca. Longevity? Zhuo Bingtian hurriedly got off the sedan chair and entered his mansion with the support of the old housekeeper. The mansion is not big, and there are few people. As soon as I entered, I saw Changshou, who was dressed as a businessman, pacing in the courtyard, looking as if he was anxious.
"Jing Weng, I'm waiting for you! Something happened, 100,000 urgent! ”
Gualca. Changshou saw Zhuo Bingtian and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"What's wrong? Could it be that Xining was ...... by the Taiping Army," Zhuo Bingtian saw the anxious appearance of longevity, and also showed an anxious and solemn expression.
"Xining is not a problem, but the Taiping army's brigade has already crossed the Yellow River, millions of people! It's still Hong Xiuquan's personal expedition, I happened to meet them on the way to Mongolia, and I almost pulled them to be the Taiping Army! ”
Zhuo Bingtian sighed: "How is the fourth master going to deal with it?" ”
"I don't know how to do it, maybe I will unite with the Kokand Kingdom and the Zhuo family." Changshou sighed, "Maybe Xining will have to give up, so I can only retreat to Xinjiang......"
Xinjiang can't hold the ......
Zhuo Bingtian said in his heart: "It seems that the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh masters will not be able to meet in Petersburg for a while. ”
"We are not much better here, Zhu Jishi's 250,000 troops are forcing over to Kulen in two ways!" Zhuo Bingtian pulled Changshou into the house, sat down face to face, and let people serve barley tea - here in Kulun, it would be good to have this tea.
"Jing Weng, do you remember Su Yu Pavilion? He's in Xining......"
"Oh, really?" Zhuo Bingtian nodded, didn't say anything, anyway, the most stubborn ones are all Yellow Russians, there is no difference.
"He gave us a trick to go to Zhu Jishi's backyard and set it on fire!"
"Zhu Jishi's backyard? Burning the Old Summer Palace? Zhuo Bingtian knew that Zhu Jishi now lives in the Old Summer Palace, so he asked this question.
"No, it's in Hong Kong and North Korea! Attract Zhu Wei's main force to come back. ”
"Hong Kong...... Isn't it the territory of the British? Zhuo Bingtian was stunned.
"Su Jingyuan brought 500 dead soldiers to pretend to be Han Chinese to revolt in Hong Kong and kill the British!" Gualca. Changshou eyebrows fluttered and said Su Shun's whimsical idea. Zhuo Bingtian shook his head while listening - can 500 bannermen and dead soldiers beat 500 English soldiers? If the banner man has that ability, can Zhu Jishi succeed in reversing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty? And to kill the British, probably to let the family kill! However, when he heard that the king of the Li Dynasty was used as the banner to call on the Koreans to revolt and expel Zhu Ming, there was a hint of surprise on his face. (To be continued......)
