Chapter 421: The Imperial Driver's Expedition

Thinking of this humiliating history, Ren Chao couldn't help but feel a heartache. What makes Ren Chao even more heartbroken is that Vladivostok has always been the inherent territory of China, and a large number of Chinese people live here, and more than 100,000 Chinese live here in Vladivostok alone. However, in history, during the reign of the bearded man, almost all of the hundreds of thousands of Han and Manchu people in the city were killed or forcibly relocated to Central Asia, and almost all Koreans were also relocated. Therefore, in any case, this place will become an eternal pain and shame in the hearts of the people.

And now what Ren Chao has to do is to completely take this place back into the territory of China, and drive those old tsarist Maozi back to where they should go.

"Majesty!" Zhou Tai couldn't help but scream when he saw Ren Chao's deliberate expression.

"Hmm!" Ren Chao responded, and then asked, "Except for the Northeast Battlefield, what is the situation of the battle between the Mongolian side and the northwest side?" ”

"Initiation of the Majesty! On the Mongolian side, the Third Army led by Wu Meng has launched an offensive against the Russian army in the Baikal area. In the northwest, Niu Kaixuan personally led the 200,000 troops of the Fourth Army and was preparing to launch an offensive against the Russian army in Central Asia. Zhou Tai hurriedly replied.

"Good!" Ren Chao nodded and said, "What is the strength of the Tsarist Pacific Fleet?" ”

"According to our intelligence, at present, the Tsarist Pacific Fleet has more than 80 warships of various types, with a total tonnage of more than 250,000 tons, including eight battleships. However, China's North Sea Fleet always has nearly 100 warships of various types, with a total tonnage of more than 300,000 tons, including nine battleships. At present, the main force of our navy has gone north to seek a decisive battle with the Russian Pacific Fleet. Admiral Minister Yu Kun said respectfully.

"That is to say, whether it is the navy or the army, our army has an absolute advantage, and it can be said that it is a sure victory! Since this is the case about the matter of my royal conquest, you should have no objections! Ren Chao said with a stern face.

"His Majesty is the emperor of the Chinese Empire, the honor of the Ninety-Five. The status is noble, how can he go to the front line to risk danger, so Weichen begged His Majesty to think twice. Yang Jichang hurriedly said.

Ren Chao turned his head to look at the others, and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Do you think so too?" ”

"The matter of the royal driving and personal conquest is not trivial, and the ministers implore Your Majesty to think twice." Yu Kun, Zhou Tai and others said in unison.

"Someone once said to me that the emperor's personal expedition generally needs to meet two conditions, the first is to be sure of victory. Second, I was forced to be helpless. And now Tsarist Russia is deeply involved in the European war, and it is simply not able to reinforce the Far East on a large scale, while our army has an absolute advantage in the Far East. It can be said that it is a sure victory, since it is so completely satisfied with the conditions of the royal conquest, why do you want to block it? Ren Chao asked with a frown.

"Qi Xiang Xià, what you said was during the period of cold weapons. In modern warfare, guns and cannons have no eyes on the battlefield, and in order to ensure the safety of the emperor, it is really not suitable for His Majesty to go to the front line. What's more, now that there are radio stations to communicate with each other, communication is so convenient, His Majesty can grasp the battle situation on the front line at the first time. It is even possible to remotely command the front-line troops to fight, but there is really no need to drive the expedition in person. Yang Jichang said respectfully.

"Although what you said is reasonable, but the last time we went to war against Tsarist Russia, we defeated the invasion of Tsarist Russia. However, he failed to take advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the territory occupied by Tsarist Russia, which could only be regarded as a draw at best. For more than ten years, I have always cited this as the greatest regret of my life. Now I plan to drive the expedition again, just hoping to be able to get rid of the shame, so I hope that Zhuqing will not stop it. Ren Chao said with a sigh.

Yang Jichang and others saw that Ren Chao was resolute. I don't know how to persuade for a while. At this time, Ren Chao stood up and said, "More than 200 years ago, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty used troops against Tsarist Russia twice, and finally defeated the Tsarist invaders, and the two sides signed the Treaty of Nebuchu to redraw the border. Although this was an equal treaty, the Qing government at that time was forced by the unstable situation in Guannai and the barren land in the north, so it ceded the vast area east of Lake Baikal, the area around Nebuchu and the outer Khingan Mountains to Tsarist Russia. And this time, I not only want to recover the territories that have been invaded and occupied by Tsarist Russia in modern times, but also to recover all these territories that originally belonged to China. Tsarist Lao Maozi is a European and should stay on the European continent, and the Asian continent only belongs to us in China and all Asians. This time, I will personally drive all these old Tsarist sons out of Asia. ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Yang Jichang and others responded with sincere fear.

"Decree, choose a good day and an auspicious day, I want to drive the royal army to conquer Tsarist Russia, and I want to watch the brave soldiers of my Chinese Empire plant the golden dragon flag of my Chinese Empire on the head of Vladivostok!" Ren Chao said loudly with a stern face.

"Your Ministers obey!" Yang Jichang and others responded respectfully.

Two days later, Ren Chao set off from Beijing for the northeast region, accompanied by the 1st Division and the 3rd Division of the Tiger Army, totaling more than 40,000 people. The troops of these two divisions will be combined with about six infantry divisions, two artillery divisions, and one cavalry division that have rushed to the northeast in advance to form the Fifth Army. At present, the main force of the group army has been assembled in the area of the Mudanjiang River, ready to attack Tsarist Russia across the border at any time.

Early the next morning, Ren Chao, accompanied by General Wang Weihua, commander-in-chief of the Fifth Group Army, went to the front line to inspect the front.

"Your Majesty, after crossing the Hubutu River, it is the territory of the Tsars!" Wang Weihua pointed to the Hubutu River in front of him and explained.

"Hmm!" Ren Chao nodded, then raised his binoculars and observed the Russian position on the other side of the river, "How many troops does Lao Maozi have on the other side?" ”

"According to the information we have so far, there is only about 10,000 troops of Lao Maozi's division on the other side of the river." Wang Weihua explained.

"So little?" Ren Chao couldn't help frowning and said.

"Your Majesty, the First Army and the Second Army launched an attack on the Russian army along the Heilongjiang River and the Ussuri River, and at present, the main forces of the Russian army are all contained on the northern front, although the Russian army is closing the defensive line in the direction of Vladivostok, but so far it has not taken care of the line of the Hubutu River, it is estimated that Lao Maozi did not expect that we still have extra troops to launch an attack here!" Wang Weihua replied respectfully.

Ren Chao nodded approvingly, and the Huaxia Empire dispatched two group armies with a total of more than 400,000 troops to launch a large-scale attack along the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers. The 150,000-strong army of the Korean Group Army also launched an offensive on the southern front, and Lao Maozi only had 300,000 or 400,000 troops, and he had to defend a long border line of more than 4,000 kilometers.
