459 Russian accomplices
In the middle of 88, the Ottoman Turkish Empire fell apart into a lot of uproar, and just signed a humiliating armistice treaty with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, ceding all the European parts that originally belonged to the Ottoman Turkish Empire, including the Crimean Peninsula, to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and taking the initiative to recognize the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as the suzerain, the nascent Ottoman Turkish Empire, with Ankara as its capital, began to use troops against the rebel areas.
Although the remnants of the Ottoman Turkish Empire have greatly shrunk its territory and suffered a fatal blow to its population and economy, the weapons used to support the previous anti-Han alliance have not been defeated, and the 20,000 Ottoman new troops that were not sent to Istanbul and were blown to ashes by the Taiping Army have become the absolute main force of the Ottoman Turkish Empire's counterinsurgency, and temporarily gained the upper hand in the counterinsurgency war.
Of course, this kind of local war could no longer attract the attention of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the anti-Han alliance.
Thanks to the rise of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the west of the Eurasian continent has been fighting wars almost every year, and the Russian Empire in the north has never stopped the invasion and expansion of the nomads in Central Asia under the instruction of Hong Tiancheng, and the 'flag planting' movement has also been going on in the vast Siberian region where there are not many people......
This is all the task that Hong Tian made a deal to the thousand-faced fake tsar!
Central Asia and Siberia were so poor that the Taiping army did not have much oil and water, not to mention that they had to face a group of poor people who had problems even eating.
Those nomads living in the steppes of Central Asia are all extremely vicious singles, who have no money or food, and generally rely on robbery to live on the other half, and the other half rely on grazing, and there is not much value for conquest at all.
But the territory occupied by these people is so vast, Hong Tiancheng didn't want the precious Taiping army to play hide-and-seek mode of conquest with the nomadic cavalry, and be constantly bled and consumed, so he drove the Russian old Maozi to slowly eat these nomadic poor ghosts who were not strong in combat but had the courage to be hard.
For the infantry-based Taiping army, they still like to capture the land that has been developed, or the country dominated by the conventional army, and it is too tiring to fight a nomadic country with full cavalry.
Logistics alone was enough for the Taiping Army to have a headache.
To outsiders, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Russian Empire seem to have opened a bipolar model, and the two huge empires have always maintained a very solid military alliance due to the inexplicable iron-clad relationship between their leaders, and they have almost unconditionally supported each other.
The thousand-faced tsar of the Russian Empire, many of the state policies were even for the benefit of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
For example, after the conquest of the Cossack peoples, the Russian Empire relocated most of the disobedient Cossack tribes in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, either by force or in the form of mercenaries, and after the annexation of the Cossack United Emirates by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the security environment was raised by several levels.
For this, the Russian army has fought an unknown number of small-scale law and order wars!
The Cossack hordes would not have been expelled willingly!
This act of the Russian Empire saved a large number of new troops for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and eradicated the problem of Cossack bandits in the territory of the country without a single soldier.
Of course, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has always been a hardcore supporter of the tyranny and dictatorship of the Thousand-Faced False Tsar, and the Thousand-Faced Tsar is getting older and older, but his body is getting better and better!
How does this make those legal heirs of the Tsars of the Russian Empire embarrassed?
The most terrible thing is that this thousand-faced fake tsar Alexei, since he formed a death alliance with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, has never been close to women, and his original children were all implicated in the queen's 'poisoning' case because of the previous palace purge, and they were all given to death.
As a result, there is not a single descendant of the Thousand-faced Fake Tsar, and the Thousand-faced Fake Tsar has no intention of setting up a crown prince!
This unconventional act had already aroused the discontent of the majority of the Russian court, and conspiracy and betrayal were happening all the time, even the Moscow Janissaries, loyal to the Tsar personally, had been infiltrated.
However, at such a time, the Taiping army repeatedly helped the thousand-faced fake tsar to sabotage the palace rebellion case, and the intelligence organization of the Taiping army, those who called themselves Jinyiwei, became the close confidants of the thousand-faced fake tsar, and their eyes and ears were all over the Moscow court!
The punishment of the false tsar with a thousand faces for these cases of rebellion even more deterred the ill-intentioned people of the Russian Empire, and all the participants, regardless of their master, were executed, and their families were sent to live like savages in the most barren regions of Siberia, which is why the Russian Empire always produced a large number of political prisoners.
At the same time, the Thousand-Faced Fake Tsar is enveloping a group of low-level petty aristocratic knights, using them to constantly promote the absurd remarks that he is the chosen one and can live a long life, and the Thousand-Faced Fake Tsar is gradually establishing his own deified rhetoric to cover up for his longevity secret!
Hong Tiancheng has the Taiping Doctrine, so Hong Tiancheng in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupation area has long been no different from the status of a god, and no one dares to question Hong Tiancheng's unscientific age and appearance!
The False Tsar with a Thousand Faces is also replicating this process.
The Russian Empire is different from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a country that Hong Tiancheng single-handedly defeated from the end of Weimo, all the opponents are either dead or fled, and the court is all the system's henchmen, so naturally no one will hinder Hong Tiancheng's deification work.
But Thousand Faces is an ordinary Russian with an Alexei face!
If such a person suddenly lived a long life, would those Russian nobles have no idea in their hearts?
What's more, the policy concept of absolute centralization and personal dictatorship of the thousand-faced fake tsar was already rejected by the Russian aristocracy, and if it weren't for the Russian civil war that year, the power of the Russian aristocracy was ruthlessly cleaned up, and the thousand-faced fake tsar would not be able to sit in this position at all.
However, the Russian Empire was not a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and it needed someone to lead the army to fight, and it needed Russian soldiers to shed blood for the expansion of the Russian Empire, so after the old Russian aristocracy was purged, the new Russian magnates had already risen in the expansion of the Russian Empire.
Even if the current Russian magnates no longer have the fiefs and privileges of the former nobles, they are still in high positions, and the energy of these people is still very great.
Therefore, the false tsar with a thousand faces must always be on guard against these people plotting rebellion.
It was easy for these people to be overthrown, in the centralized Russian Empire, that is, a matter of a thousand orders from a thousand sides, but they were all knocked down, who worked hard for the expansion of the Russian Empire?
As long as the Russian Empire does not stop expanding externally, these capable generals will not be able to 'release their military power with a glass of wine'!
Naturally, the Russian court will not stop for a day!
