At two o'clock in the morning on January 16, 1846, the imperial emperor Long Yufei had already fallen asleep. () Although because of the outbreak of the war, he has slept relatively late during this time. However, the Imperial 6th Army continued to win on all fronts, and gradually he also relaxed. Even if the Russians intervened in the war, it now seems that there was no bargain at all. So, he doesn't have to worry about anything.

However, tonight, he was woken up by the chief of the guard, Major General Li Hu. Because General Niu Meng, chief of the Imperial General Staff, and Lieutenant General Sun Hao, Minister of Operations, had rushed to the palace, and there was an urgent military situation to report to him. Long Yufei got up from the bed as soon as he turned over, although he was thirty-six years old, but because he usually paid attention to exercise, his skills were quite agile. Among the monarchs of the world, he is already very young. Probably only Charles, who has just become president of France. Louis. Napoleon. Bonaparte can compare with him! Of course, those queens who succeeded to the throne at a young age have no comparison between the two sides at all.

"What's wrong?" After putting on his clothes and going out, Long Yufei immediately asked. The Chief of the General Staff and the Chief of Operations came to him at this time, and something serious must have happened. This made Long Yufei a little worried, could it be that there was any change in the battle situation on the front line?

"Majesty, it's a good thing. The Chief of Staff and General Sun are both here to report the good news to His Majesty! Major General Li Hu, the chief of the guard, said with a smile.

"Annunciation? Could it be that the 6th Army of the Empire won another battle? Long Yufei asked excitedly. Originally, he thought it was a bad thing, but he didn't expect it to be a good thing. That's the case. He had nothing to worry about.

"Your Majesty, what is the specific matter, it is better for the Chief of Staff and General Sun to report to you! I'd reveal it in advance. They should be upset. Major General Li Hu said with a smile.

"Haha, you're still selling me Guanzi? Well, I'll go ask them directly when the time comes! Long Yufei was in a good mood and did not continue to dwell on this issue. Just as he and Li Hu were walking and talking, they soon came to his study. At this moment, General Niu Meng, chief of the General Staff, and Major General Sun Hao, chief of operations, were already waiting here. Although the faces of the two looked tired, they couldn't hide their excitement.

"Chief of Staff. General Sun, you have to take care of your body! The war has only begun now, and we don't know when it will end! If you fall. That's a huge loss for the Empire! Seeing the physically and mentally exhausted two, Long Yufei couldn't help but persuade.

"Ahh Xie Majesty. The ministers will pay attention. Neither Admiral Niu Meng nor Lieutenant General Sun Hao thought that Long Yufei's first sentence was to care about their bodies, which made the two of them very moved.

"Well, just pay attention to yourselves. What's wrong? You guys came into the palace at night so big? Long Yufei asked.

"陛xià. The latest battle report came from Shengjing. Our army is today. Inflicted heavy losses on the 4th Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army. Admiral Niu Meng said.

"What? How so? Are those Russians fools? Their 15th Cossack Cavalry Division had just been annihilated, and the 4th Cossack Cavalry Corps still dared to attack Shengjing? Long Yufei was shocked. Could it be that the annihilation of the 15th Cossack Cavalry Division of the Russian Army was not enough to deter those Russians? Or rather, the commander of the Russian army was really kicked in the head by a donkey.

"Your Majesty, but it's really beyond our expectations. The Russian army has launched a fierce attack on Shengjing City since the morning. The 14th and 17th armies deployed heavy forces outside the city. The 4th Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army launched a fierce attack on our heavily garrisoned defensive line. As a result, the losses were heavy. The specific situation is still for General Sun Hao to report to His Majesty! Admiral Niu Meng said with a smile. He is now constantly pushing Lieutenant General Sun Hao to the forefront. This time after the end of the war. He will resign as chief of the General Staff, and Lieutenant General Sun Hao will be his successor.

Long Yufei nodded, he knew very well what Admiral Niu Meng was thinking. In addition, the last time he had a heart-to-heart conversation with Admiral Niu Meng, he did not object to Lieutenant General Sun Hao taking over as chief of the General Staff. Of course, in his mind, Lieutenant General Sun Hao is just an over-the-top candidate. When Major General Liu Zhongming grows up and has enough qualifications, Major General Liu Zhongming will become the chief of the Imperial General Staff.

"Your Majesty, this morning, the 4th Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army first threw in a cavalry division to attack the frontal defense line defended by the 14th Brigade of the 6th Army of the Reich, and the Russian army suffered heavy losses. Subsequently, the Russian army threw in another cavalry division in an attempt to detour back to the flank of our army to attack, but it still ended in failure. In the morning battle, the Russian army lost more than 8,000 men. Yesterday night, the Russian army launched a surprise attack at night in an attempt to reverse the situation. After a hard battle, the Russian army once again paid heavy losses. More than 5,000 people were lost. Now, the 4th Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army has only one cavalry division left. If the Russian army does not increase its troops in time, they will no longer pose any threat to Shengjing! Lieutenant General Sun Hao, Chief of the General Staff, said. In just a few days, it inflicted heavy losses on a cavalry corps of the Russian army and annihilated nearly 20,000 enemies, which was undoubtedly a heavy victory for the 6th Army of the Empire, especially the Cossack cavalry that made the European powers fearful, and the significance of this was even more different.

"Haha! Well, that's great! The 14th and 17th armies, very good. When the war is over, I will reward them! Long Yufei was very happy. Now, the military intelligence of the Reich has figured out that the Russians have sent 250,000 troops to the Far East, of which the most threatening to the Reich is 100,000 Cossack cavalry. Almost 20,000 people were wiped out under Shengjing, and if there were a few more battles, the Cossack cavalry of the Russian army would not have to be completely eliminated! Now it seems that it is only a matter of time before the Imperial 6th Army defeats the Russians.

"Your Majesty, now it seems that even if we don't send reinforcements to the northeast, with the combat effectiveness of the 14th Army and the 17th Army, we will be able to hold on. Maybe they'll continue to surprise us. Admiral Niu Meng said.

"Hmm!" Long Yufei nodded, as long as the attention of the Russians was attracted to the northeast, then the decisive battle between the Imperial 6th Army and the Qing army in the Central Plains would be undisturbed. After the 6th Army of the Empire annihilated the Qing Army, the overall situation was decided. At that time, even if the Russians sent troops to the Far East, the empire would be able to deal with it very easily.

After that, Long Yufei instructed that the major newspapers must publicize this great victory of the Imperial 6th Army, so that the people of the empire know that even if the Russians intervene in the war, the empire can win, so as to improve the confidence of the people. After declaring war on Russia, some people in the country also feared that it would be difficult for the empire to achieve victory if it went to war against both the Manchus and Russia. Preaching that the empire will lose this war, that peace should be precious, and so on. Then this battle undoubtedly gave those people a slap in the face.

The next day, the major newspapers of the empire publicized the victory of the 6th Army of the empire at Shengjing. A Cossack cavalry corps of the Russian army lost 20,000 men under Shengcheng. This victory was enough to shock the whole world. You know, many countries in Europe have learned the power of the Cossack cavalry. They had also wanted to see how the Chinese Empire faced a Russian attack. But now, the Chinese Empire has beaten those fierce Russians cleanly.

In addition, there are many countries that do not believe this at all, and they believe that the Chinese Empire is lying and fabricating victory. The Chinese Empire lacked cavalry, how could it be possible to destroy so many Cossack cavalry at once? With the degree of Cossack cavalry, even if you are not an opponent of the enemy, it is always no problem to escape! Could it be that the commander of the Russian army was stupid and took the initiative to attack the city heavily defended by the Russians?

The Chinese Empire did not justify the doubts of those countries at all, and the facts are the facts, which cannot be denied. In any case, those powers have never looked at China squarely, and only after the final outcome of the war is known, will they recognize the reality clearly. The strength of the Chinese Empire is not something that they can change if they question it.

Some countries want to send military observer missions to the battlefield to observe the war. France, the Kingdom of Spain, and Great Britain all made such demands, but they were all rejected by the Chinese Empire. The war that the Chinese Empire is currently waging is completely a war between advanced military concepts and Russia's backward military concepts, although sooner or later it will be known to Western countries, but if it is exposed one day later, the more benefits it will have for the empire. These European countries may all become enemies of the empire in the future. The hearts of those who are not in our race will be different, the Chinese can only rely on themselves, and other countries are unreliable!

St. Petersburg in January has entered a cold winter. Tsar Nicholas I also stayed in the Winter Palace all day and did not go out anymore. It's not a good idea to go out in this weather.

On January 16, however, Tsar Nicholas I was furious, and in front of him was a telegram from the Russian embassy in Britain. The content of the telegram was that the 4th Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army suffered a crushing defeat at Shengjing, and the entire army lost nearly 20,000 people. Tsar Nicholas I did not expect such a large loss of the Russian army at all. Earlier the 15th Cossack Cavalry Division was annihilated, and he did not believe it. But now, with the rhetoric of the Chinese side, he can't help but believe it! (To be continued......)
