According to the analysis and judgment of the General Staff of the Marshal's Office, the French, who have obtained the relevant data, should be able to barely stretch out the war until the end of the year.

Although it was only two months longer, it was particularly crucial for Daming to buy time to deal with Asian affairs.

In fact, the Russians were also the beneficiaries of the early outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War.

The current tsar is Alexander II Nikolayevich.

He was the sixteenth tsar of the Romanov dynasty of the Russian Empire, the twelfth emperor of the Russian Empire, and the eldest son of Tsar Nicholas I.

It is claimed to be as famous as Peter I and Catalina II, and is considered a generation of Ming monarchs in Tsarist Russia.

Now, of course, his main merit is to deceive a large area of territory from the Qing government, which greatly alleviates the turmoil in the domestic situation after the defeat of his waste father in the Crimean War.

However, with the Ming Dynasty's iron fist attack in Northeast Asia, Alexander II's years of fraud were ruined, and Tsarist Russia's operations in the Far East returned to the pre-liberation period overnight.

How could this not make him grit his teeth and hate to eat the flesh of wealth and nobility raw?

In the eyes of Alexander II, last year's defeat was entirely due to the despicable and shameless Zhu Fugui launching a sneak attack, and as long as the European gendarmes were fully mobilized, the outcome would have been different.

Taking advantage of the decline of France in the Franco-Prussian War, he sent a circular to Britain, France, Austria, Prussia, the Ottoman Empire, and other signatories to the Treaty of Paris, declaring the restriction of the London Straits Convention on Russia's prohibition of maintaining a fleet in the Black Sea and the invalidity of the provisions on the neutrality of the Black Sea.

At the same time, he took advantage of the British's concerns about the Ming Dynasty's overreach, especially the Ming Dynasty's involvement in the Western Regions and the threat to Kashmir and the Indian colonies, and obtained a low-interest loan of 2.7 million pounds from the British to reorganize the army.

The British were also happy to rearm Tsarist Russia to a limited extent, thus punishing the greedy Zhu Fugui.

Whether it is the threat to India or the threat to the Strait of Malacca occupied by Luzon, the hand of Ming imperialism is a little too long.

With the support of the British, Alexander II was triumphant.

In his opinion, with the harsh winter and muddy early spring passing, it was time for the Russian Empire to conquer the East again.

Over the course of several months, Russia recruited a large number of Cossack cavalry and serf infantry from Ukraine and the Caucasus, totaling 170,000 men, and began to march eastward.

Although it was only a gray animal with a smoothbore gun, and it was an undertrained gray animal, such a mobilization capability was enough to put the Manchu government, which was sitting on a trillion-dollar population, to shame.

Historically, in June 1900, during the Gengzi National Disaster, Tsarist Russia organized 170,000 troops from the northeast and fought from June to September.

The main force of the Qing army in the northeast was only 90,000 people.

Tsarist Russia took the entire northeast in three months.

This time, it was also 170,000 people, and Tsar Alexander II personally set the East Asian strategy phalanx: the head attacked and the tail defended, and the two wings marched side by side.

Specifically, the Tsarist Russian troops will be divided into two routes, with about 50,000 elite soldiers on the one hand, in an offensive posture, to capture Siberia and the Far East, and to recapture the good ports of the Far East for the Great Russian Empire, which is the most critical thing.

There were about 120,000 ordinary soldiers along the way, strengthening the control of the Western Regions, attacking with defense, and destroying the Kokand Khanate by the way, completely destroying and annexing it.

Due to the lack of white hounds fluent in Russian, the Ming had to rely on Siberian fur traders for their movements in Tsarist Russia.

After last year's battles, the strength displayed by the Ming Dynasty won the recognition and allegiance of many Oroqen, Daur, Buryat and other tribes.

Especially after Tongliao Khan became an old friend of the Ming Dynasty, not only seafood, mutton and milk have also become the fist products of Tongliao's agricultural and sideline food exporters.

Therefore, Daming's eyeliner is also almost all over the grassland.

It's still the same sentence, after all, everyone is yellow-skinned and black-haired, and it looks a little more pleasing to the eye than Lao Maozi.

At least until Western-centrism and cargo ship cult took root in the hearts of the people.

This is an instinctive human response to seek ethnic identity, and if it is blessed with military, economic, and cultural blessings, it will become a relatively strong bond.

Relying on these scattered news, as well as the side intelligence of Gu Hongming and 007, two ace spies in England, Da Ming finally figured out the movements of the Russians.

At about the same time that the Ming Naval Division recovered the two towns of Luzon and Guam, Zuo Zongtang, the Duke of Ming Chu, sent a telegram, saying that Shaanxi had been consolidated and that the Hexi Corridor should be seized as soon as possible, and the troops should go out of the Western Regions to compete with the Russians.

In this regard, the General Staff was divided into two factions, and many people believed that Admiral Li had returned to Luzon in the south, Hong Xiuquan had brought disaster to Latin America in the east, the Ming Dynasty had Zhangye in the east and west, and the two oceans had used troops, and the battle line was already very long.

In response to Tsarist Russia's provocations in the northwest and northeast, the Ming Dynasty should shrink the front, focus on defense, and should not advance lightly.

Maybe the Russians and the Hu themselves will fight among themselves?

Da Ming may be able to take advantage of it.

Knowing this idea, Zuo Zongtang sent several telegrams in succession, crying blood word by word, stating that the current prosperity of Hu Chen in the Western Regions, if it is not recaptured in time, I am afraid that it will be like Tang losing the Western Regions, and it will be a thousand years away!

Holding Zuo Zongtang's telegram, Zhu Fugui pondered for a long time, and finally read a poem in front of everyone:

"Once the Ili calendar has passed, what about the Pearl Cliff.

I am not diligent but watch the fire, and I mistakenly raise treachery to stop fighting.

The victory is forgiven, and it can be called an old horse.

The bull rode into Yangguan, only hating to knock the horn song. ”

After reading this poem, Yang Liu and Mo Bai were the first to take the lead in clapping and applauding, and Xia Zhixin punched one and hit two bags.

Dare to fight the two major killing gods of the Ming Dynasty, and there are only historians like Xia Saijiu who hold the Spring and Autumn Pen in their hands.

Of course, Xia Zhixin didn't beat them indiscriminately, but grabbed them and told them not to die.

Because this poem is not a new work by His Majesty Zhu Fugui......

It is the poem of the Tatar chieftain Qianlong.

At that time, Qianlong advocated the return of the western expedition, and Liu Tongxun, the crown prince and governor of Ganshan, repeatedly admonished that he should wait for the times to change and bet on the wisdom of future generations.

As a result, Qianlong ignored it and sent troops to completely wipe out the Dzungar Khanate and divide the land of the nomadic forces with Tsarist Russia.

This poem "Mocking Liu Tongxun" was specially written to mock the Lord and faction after Qianlong's martial arts were completed.

"The puppet emperor Qianlong wrote more than 10,000 poems in his life, all of which stink, and this song "Mocking Liu Tongxun" alone can be read by me."

Zhu Fugui sighed and said, "The Lord of the Tartars still has such a bearing, I am the son of China, dare to make the land of the Han and Tang Dynasties dusty?" ”

"Send the decree to Zuo Guogong, let him rest assured and do it boldly, how long he wants to fight, how long I will fight with him, how he wants to fight, I will support it, don't worry about the name behind him!"

Hearing that Long Live is such a holy message, the court and all the battalions of the Chu army are all emotional, the rich and noble lord is really a magnificent king, China and sorrow are not revived, and the Ming Dynasty is not strong!

But in addition to sighing, many people are also beating drums in their hearts.

Whether it is soldiers, civil servants, miners of state-owned and royal factories, and farmers of state-owned and Huangzhuang farms, their wages and social security have also been raised year after year, and even the legal working hours have been reduced to the 996 model, which is unique in the world......

Under such an operation, does the imperial court still have money? Is Banzai still rich?

Such questions cannot help but linger in the minds of many people.
