After the Shamon coalition rested in Nebuchu for nearly ten days, Kuching took them westward, because the Mongols needed to advance while grazing, which was obviously not fast, but at this time Kuching did not know that the Russian reinforcements had arrived, so they did not rush the Mongols. However, this leisurely rhythm was soon interrupted by an urgent military situation coming from the west.

"This group of Rakshasa people will not come sooner or later, and they will actually come out after the official division of troops, what a hell of a life." Kuching said with a sinking face. "Someone, hurry up and check, where have the righteous soldiers of the Zhelimu League and the Song Desert Protectorate gone? Can the Chechen Khan and Darigang Aibu come over as much as possible? ”

Kuching's dismissal of the Mongol volunteers was not only due to the imminent snowfall, but also due to the excessive consumption of military rations. After all, the entire Northeast and Mobei have been in continuous war, and it is difficult to raise grain and materials, even if they can barely meet the expenses of 60,000 or 70,000 troops, they have reached the limit in terms of transshipment. Unexpectedly, his approach to relieving the pressure of transportation would cause a fatal danger, which could not help but make Kuching lament his bad luck.

"Great Marshal, the volunteer army of the Zhelimu League and the Songmo Duhufu has been walking for ten days, and it is estimated that they have now crossed the Erguna River and entered the Xiaoxing'an Mountains." The staff officer on the side also frowned. "As for the situation of the Chechen Khan Department and the Darigang Love Department, it is similar, even if they catch up and order them to come day and night, I am afraid that it will take at least half a month to catch up with the brigade."

Kuching squinted his eyes and thought about it, it is a problem to change the order of the day, and how much combat power there is after the rapid march is another problem, since there are many problems, he naturally will not rush to the doctor, so he sighed: "Since you can't catch up, then you don't need to notify them to return, let the four thousand soldiers and horses of the Sanyin Noyan Department and the Zasaktu Khan Department contract the First Brigade of the Third Division of the Iron Cavalry Army to go first, remember that you don't have to fight hard with the Oros, just delay them and wait for the team to come, no!" ”

Kuching suddenly denied himself: "The striker released a far outpost, and the various departments are still moving westward according to the current degree. ”

"Marshal, what if the Russian army rushes to attack Selengsk?" The staff officer in charge of the recording asked in surprise. "Are there still two regiments of our army in the city? You can't afford to sit back and watch its loss. ”

The two regiments did not seem to have many troops, but after deducting the troops escorting the prisoners south, the total number of Xia troops left in the Beihai area was only two divisions and eleven regiments, including two middle base regiments and two baggage regiments and four non-combat regiments, so the losses were really unbearable.

"Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, and they can only rely on themselves." Speaking of this, Kuching smiled bitterly. "The official believes in Luo Mazi, this kid will definitely be able to hold on, if he can't hold on, the officer will also kill all the Russian soldiers to avenge them??????"

Luo Mazi in Kuching's mouth, whose big name is Luo Yong, is the commander of the first brigade of the second division of the Longwu Army - the Longwu Army was originally a infantry division, but in the latest summer army restructuring, the original units of each division of the army were transferred to the local town army, and then the first to third divisions of the Longwu Army successively received some units of the Iron Cavalry Army and the Hussar Army, and mixed into a new cavalry unit, of which the second division was deployed in the North Chamber Weidu Protectorate, and became one of the two cavalry divisions that went north with Kuching this time - after conquering Selengsk, Kuching, in order to guard against the Russian army west of Lake Baikal, ordered Rayong to lead the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Longmu Army and the Baggage Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Longmu Army to stay behind, thus becoming the target of the Russian reinforcements.

When Kuching gritted his teeth, General Alessandro Anthony Kiriyenko's side also had a swollen head.

The fall of Selengesk was judged by Kiriyenko before, but he always thought that the barbaric Qing army would destroy the city, but he never expected to encounter the Xia army that held the castle, which made him a little blind when he was not ready to attack the city - a typical fortress fortress in Selengesk, the Qing army and the Xia army also relied on a long-term siege to slowly force it into a desperate situation, and now although the Russian army has more than 20 large and small artillery, it is not an overnight thing to take such a strong city, and it can only be regained by the Qing army. The Xia army's plan was to replace the siege with sieges.

Of course, General Kiriyenko also generously sent people to persuade him to surrender, but the news he got made him dumbfounded: the defenders in the city were not the Qing people he thought they were, but the Chinese army.

Kiriyenko, the name of the Chinese Empire, had also heard of it from the Siberian governor, but how could the Chinese appear here? From the mouths of the military envoys who went back and forth, Kiriyenko finally figured out the truth of the matter.

"Did the Chinese pursue the Tatars into this place?" Kiriyenko roared. "But this is Russian territory, and even if the Chinese are chasing the Tatars into this place, they should return this place to Russia." Having said that, Kiriyenko also had a reason, after all, Peter I and Count Orsk gave him the order to recover the Nizhny Baikal region, but did not let him go to war with the emerging Chinese Empire, so General Kiriyenko, who was suffering from gains and losses, asked his adjutant: "Rich, you say, are we going to war with the Chinese?" ”

"Sir, you shouldn't have asked me," replied the handsome Jelich Volodago-Blyuyugin, the second son of the count's family. "Such an important issue should still be considered by Colonel Pavlov."

The general shook his head with a wry smile: "Paplov? No, this impulsive guy will definitely ask for war. ”

"Then let's go to war." The young lieutenant, who was handsome on the outside and eager for merit in his heart, replied. "The Chinese Empire? The country of the Chinese? No, it seems to me that the same is the Tatar, should we sit back and watch the land of His Majesty the Tsar fall into the hands of the Tatars? Passed back to Moscow, I am afraid that what awaits your Excellency the General will be a trial. "Seeing that General Kiriyenko seems to be convinced, Boryugin hits the railroad while it is hot." I remember that Commander Yarozov once told His Excellency that the Tatars attacked Novouyansk, and almost at the same time Yakutsk reinforcements arrived in Nerchensk, so can we infer that the Tatars were driven away by the Chinese, and it is the Chinese who are now besieging Nerchensk. ”

"You mean, the Chinese know that this is Russian land, but they still started a war?" General Kiriyenko frowned. "This accusation is very serious, no, we can't confirm that Nerchensk is still under siege."

"General, the so-called confirmation is a matter for diplomats, and as soldiers, we only speak with sabers."

"Your words make sense." Kiriyenko still hesitated. "But this does not solve the problem of Selengsk." Kiriyenko pointed to the fortified city in front of him and said. "If we abandon the city and march east, the long supply lines will be threatened, but if we are to attack the city, we may not be able to capture this important fortress before the snow falls."

The ambitious adjutant was obviously prepared for this, and he boldly said: "General, I think that the city can be surrounded with infantry and artillery, and the Cossacks can go all the way east??????"

Not to mention the mentality of the two warring commanders, in the distant South China Sea, the founder of the country, the general doctor, the prince of the school, the deputy minister of the Yamen of the Governor's Republic of China, and the minister plenipotentiary of the envoy to Europa, Lu Weijun, is full of joy when the wanderer returns to his hometown - going to the country for two years, traveling thousands of miles, and serving the barbarians, this kind of hardship is coming to an end, how can he not be relieved, not to mention that this trip to Taixi can be described as smooth and abnormal, Not only did he conclude a treaty of commerce with France and Spain, confirmed the Treaty of Lingyamen with the Portuguese court, but also obtained the sovereignty of the entire territory of Luzon at a low price, and later the British government and the opposition had to relent, asking him to visit London, and even forced the Dutch Republic to sign a formal armistice under the joint pressure of the British and French courts, which can be described as a complete victory - the thought that he might be rewarded and rewarded after returning to China, Lu Weijun's heart became more and more hot.

"Lord Lu," Wen Weili, the captain of the ship [Changweiyu], knocked on the door and walked into the cabin to report. "The French minister, Baron Roment, sent a transport boat to ask your lord what to do next."

When Lu Weijun visited the country, he had two ships, but when he returned there were seven ships, two of the five extra ships were merchant ships of the French Crown East India Company, and the other three were carrying the French envoy to China, the Spanish minister to China, and the Portuguese envoy to Goa. Among them, the Portuguese ships separated from the brigade after entering Goa, and one of the merchant ships of the Royal East India Company sailed to the French commercial port in India, and the remaining five followed Lu Weijun to Penghu.

"The French probably don't want to go to Manila with us first." Lu Weijun understood the French as soon as he heard it, so he asked. "Master Wen, the sailor should send our news back to China."

"When the East Tianzhu Town Guard Mansion was resting, the Zhenxi Water Master sent out the recital prepared by the adults." Wen Weili replied. "If there is no delay on the road, it is estimated that we have reached the sea off Cam Ranh by now." Delay is impossible, the key is not to have an accident at sea, fortunately the fleet was not intercepted when passing through the Strait of Malacca, apparently the Lingyamen side was already aware of the return of the mission. "But my lord, if the French want to sail directly to Penghu, I am afraid that it will not work, and the imperial court must have time to react, so it is better to let it sail to Luzon with us, and when we reach the sea off Luzon, we and the Spanish minister's ship will go to Manila, and the [Jiuzhishan] can accompany the French ship to Penghu."

"That's one way to do it." Lu Weijun nodded. "Then reply to the French minister like this, there is no need to hide anything, just tell the truth, and think about it, he can understand the disposition of this official." Wen Weili turned to leave, but Lu Weijun stopped him. "The group of Taixi scholars on the [Nine Ridge Mountain] should also be appeased."

Although Lu Weijun did not invite back the top scientists from Europe on this trip, he also fooled more than a dozen second-rate pharmacologists, botanists, chemists, and mathematicians to come to China.

"Xia Guan knows." Hearing Scholar Tessie, Wen Weili suddenly thought of something. "Lord Lu, does it really matter about the Hajj of the envoy of the Pope Tessie?"

"Of course," Lu Weijun smiled. "It's a guest from afar, even if the court doesn't see it, it won't give a face, besides, this matter still has to fall on the governor's yamen, and there will be no overstepping of authority."

"That's fine." Wen Weili was finally relieved. "Xiaguan is going to reply to Xiyi ??????"
