.“ What? Peter's face turned pale with fright, as he could imagine anyway. Judgment, the Ming army actually tore up all the agreements within a month after the treaty was signed, which was sudden bad news, no matter how shrewd Peter was. I'm afraid I can't handle it.

"Your Majesty, the Ming and the Ottomans turned against each other at the same time, and in addition, the Poles seem to be cooperating with the actions of the Ottomans, intentionally or unintentionally, and the Ottomans attacked our large army stationed on the Ottoman line, and nearly fourteen thousand people were killed, in addition. The Minov regiment was besieged by the Ottomans and had already sent a distress letter"

He pursed his lips in astonishment and stopped talking, he understood. All his efforts since then have come to an end. He was played by the Han and Ottomans, he tried his best to override public opinion, insisted on seeking peace, which originally made many main war factions dissatisfied, and now the Ottomans and the Ming treacherous, in the half month after the signing of the peace treaty, both the invasion of Russia in a large way, not only that, due to the signing of the peace treaty, so that both the Russian front line and the domestic troops are involuntarily relaxed, and the Ming army and the Ottoman army are suddenly difficult, making the war even more difficult, now, I'm afraid,,

"Who else knows this news?. Peter suddenly became nervous and looked at the silent officials around him, all of whom were his cronies. He also pulled it up, yes, he was not afraid that they would spread it, but what if someone had a heart to take advantage of it? I'm afraid that the battle against the Ming army and the Ottoman army has not yet begun, and he is about to step down, if no one gets the news, then he can still have a period of time to calmly arrange, but,,

"The Ming army has already captured Rostov and other cities. It's only two hundred miles from Moscow, Your Majesty. I think, I'm afraid that most people already know the news, and the Minister of the Inner Court immediately understood what Peter meant, and said in a low voice.

"Immediately issue an order to go out, the whole city is under martial law, and the city defense army has all canceled their vacations and prepared for war. Peter glanced deeply at the minister beside him: "Let the commander of the shooting corps, Count Oreyev, invite him into the Kremlin, and I will share lunch with him, as well as Miloslavsky." Send someone to watch his whereabouts, and the monastery where Princess Sophia is located must also be closely monitored. Peter's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, and he added: "And Tsar Ivan, too, pay close attention, check all correspondence about him, and anyone who meets with him must first obtain my consent."

"Yes. His Majesty's ministers of the Tsar's court hurriedly went to give orders, and the ministers around Peter, who were still arguing about disarmament, were already frightened, and now the question was not disarmament, but how best to consolidate the Tsar's territory and resist invasion.

The erosion of the empire's finances was no longer on the agenda, and Peter, after a moment of irritability, sat down, although he was more grumpy, but he also understood that he had to do it now. It is to calmly deal with the complicated situation at hand.

，

Located in the steppes of Ukraine east of the Dnieper River, this was originally the core territory of Kievan Rus' historically. Around this time, the tribes of the East Slavs united in the area of present-day Ukraine to form the tribes of Ancient Rus. and established the state of Kievan Rus. After the oral century, due to feudal secession, the ancient Rus' tribe gradually split into three branches: Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians. About the time of relaxation. Ukraine has fought against Mongol, Germanic and Turkish invasions. Since the beginning of the century, it has been ruled by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Poland.

Just 20 years ago, when the Russian army captured this area, which was originally part of Polish territory, the Ukrainian Cossack leader Khtylinitsky signed the Pereyaslav Peace Treaty with the Russian Tsar, negotiating the rule of Tsarist Russia, and since then Eastern Ukraine has been officially merged with Russia.

This, naturally, caused extreme discontent among the Poles. It's a pity that more than twenty years ago, serfdom in Poland entered a crisis phase, and the Polish Cossacks staged a national uprising in Ukraine. The ruling class also fell apart, and then the great aristocracy forced Parliament to pass a free veto, followed by Tsarist Russia's declaration of war on Poland and the annexation of Ukraine east of the Dnieper. A few years later, the war between Poland and Sweden broke out again, and Poland lost part of its territory, which made the Poles extremely weak for a time.

At this time, Poland had already formed the First Republic. This political system is very peculiar and is known as "aristocratic democracy". This system has two pillars, one is called the free election of the king, the king is elected by the nobles, and those who are not nobles have no electoral power; One is called the free veto, and as long as one member of parliament opposes it, the bill cannot be passed.

This also led to the whole of Poland for a considerable period of almost anarchy, any bill, to speak of all the nobles, to all the parliamentarians, I am afraid that it would have been a dream, but at this moment, a resolution was surprisingly supported by all the Polish nobles, and then, a Polish expeditionary force of 30,000 people began to march to the border in Ukraine. Commander Schcherhosky looked at it with excitement on his face

The Russian military post on the border of the five small bars then gave a loud order: "Attack!" First a group of Polish cavalry came out from the left and right flanks, and then a dense infantry advanced, and the Russian troops who tried to resist were only a few hundred, where was the Polish opponent who had already been fully prepared.

Thousands of Polish cavalry rode left and right like two pincers, and the history of Polish cavalry was quite long: "In the Chi period, the main enemies faced by the Poles were two catties", namely the Teutonic knights in the northwest and the Mongols in the east. In the face of the open terrain and mobile Mongol cavalry on the Eastern Front, the Polish army was vulnerable, and even the then capital of Krakow was sacked by the Mongols.

The main enemy of Poland from the Phoenix century was the Teutonic knights in the west,

By the end of the year, the war was the beginning of the rise of Poland. Through this war, Poland not only expelled the Teutonic forces, but also trained the famous Polish cavalry.

The Polish Wind Cavalry was once famous in history. With a pair of wings behind their backs and cavalry knives in their hands, they quickly pierced through the hundreds of unprepared Russian troops, and before the arquebuses in their hands could fire, they struck their sabers in mid-air in the dazzling sunlight, followed by a groan.

The battle came and went as fast as the wind, as hundreds of poor Russian troops faced an enemy a hundred times their own unprepared. Despite their courage, they did not avoid the fate of being killed.

Schekhovsky's face showed joy, as soon as the army network arrived at the Ukrainian border, there were Russian troops sent to the door, he was in a particularly good mood, and he ordered the officer next to him: "Conveyed." Execute all the captives and send these filthy Russians to hell. ”

"Okay, General." The officers were genuinely excited about Skcherhosky's order. They will not be merciful to the Russians, and Poland's position in Central and Eastern Europe a century ago has always been a non-negligible existence. The arrogance of the Poles is also out of the name, while the Russians took advantage of the civil strife in Poland to push them directly into the abyss, and those big nobles often look for Russians to be scapegoats in order to push the responsibility of Tan to govern, these are not our fault, we can only blame the Russians, if it is not for their encroachment on our Ukrainian steppe. If it weren't for their sinister containment of us, if ",

These two sub-ethnic groups of the original Slavs have since turned against each other, especially the Poles, who are ashamed of the fall of Ukraine, and at this time, the Ottomans and the Ming tore up the alliance with the Russians and struck a thunderous blow to Russia, the Poles also acted quickly, they recruited almost all the available troops, led by Schokhovsky, in an attempt to take advantage of the current predicament of the Russian polar bear, to rush back to the Ukrainian region. Even, if possible. They wanted to be able to push forward and devour the behemoth's territory as much as possible.

After the team rested for a while, Šcherhoski immediately gave the order to continue the attack, and 30,000 Polish cavalry and infantry continued to go deeper to the east in high spirits.

They were clearly dressed, and the reason why the Polish wind cavalry did not act hostile to them was precisely because they had a Turkish face. The armor on the body is also the standard equipment of the Ottoman Empire, and after a while, the wind cavalry who had no result of communication can only return to their own team to report to Scherhosky, although Scherhosky is now arrogant, but he does not dare to be too rude to his friends who come from the Ottomans, and he takes a few soldiers who know Turkish to interpret the theory, and goes to communicate with the Ottoman cavalry

。

It soon became clear to Schelhosky that the Turks were coming from as an Ottoman knight, and that the six or seven men behind this knight were his servants, and the Ottoman knights were different from the others, who tended to own a smaller territory, and the lord had to recruit a corresponding number of knights according to the amount of income. and must have a subordinate and provide equipment. Most of these slaves came from prisoners of war and condemned prisoners, but there were also slaves purchased by the lords. Once the Ottoman Sultan intended to fight, he would order the knights to be conscripted, and all the knights had to bring their servants to fight for the Sultan.

The Ottoman knight, named Al, had been ordered to come to scout, and who knew that he had actually run into a Polish army here, which made him immediately aware of what was going on, and warned the Poles. After the Ottomans tore up the peace treaty, they immediately organized a battle, the Russian front army was scattered, and the entire Russian front collapsed, after which, in order to cooperate with the Ming offensive against the Russians, the Ottomans immediately began to attack Russian territory, the direction of the attack was a total of two ways, one was through Moldova directly into the Ukrainian region, and the other was through the Principality of Georgia to attack the southwest of Russia, the Ottoman knight named Al led the army that entered Ukraine, His mission was to spy around, and now that he had run into the Polish army, he immediately demanded where the Poles should go.

"According to the agreement between the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Dynasty. This piece of land threatens Scherhosky naked. In fact. The Ming and the Ottomans signed an agreement on the partition of Russia and Austria. According to the content of the agreement, the Ottomans could assist the Ming army in fighting and occupy Russian land in the early stage. Subsequently, the Ming also had the obligation to help the Ottomans attack Austria, the Ming had the sovereignty of Russia, and the Ottomans occupied Austria, and now the situation is very good, this secret agreement to divide Europe was signed by the Ming and almost any ally, and all the land has been divided cleanly, and this group of Poles suddenly killed. Naturally, the Ottomans were dissatisfied, and the Ottomans were responsible for helping the Ming to occupy the southwestern regions of Russia, as well as the Ukrainian regions. And the Poles want to come and pick up the bargain, doesn't it make the Ottomans unable to explain to the Ming Dynasty? For the Ming Dynasty, the Ottomans have become seriously dependent on it due to their perennial dependence, after all, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is there, although the Ottomans have been invincible, but after all, they still know the stakes, therefore, now the Ottoman national policy is basically closely followed by the Ming Dynasty. Even when some Western allies were dissatisfied with certain aspects of the Ming Dynasty, the Ottomans still stood firmly on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ottoman attitude made Zhu Jun very satisfied, and Zhu Jun even asked the foreign official stationed in Turkey to reveal to the Sultan that after the war, the Ming Dynasty could even help the Ottomans enter the European region.

Schehosky's face was a little unsettled. Although Ukraine was seized by Russia, the Poles have always considered it to be the sacred and inviolable territory of the Poles, and now it is difficult to wait for Russia to be in trouble and there is a dawn of reconquest. Where are you willing to give up, he interrupted Arr's words: "This is the land that Russia has annexed to our Poles, and Poland has the right to recover it, but in view of the friendly relations between Poland and the Ottoman Empire, we can march separately, and whoever occupies the most territory will demarcate the border." ”

Al is a small nobleman, although his cultural knowledge is not high, but he also understands that when he eats meat, no one is allowed to take advantage of the chaos to grab soup and drink, not to mention that Poland is just a catty, an inconspicuous small country, not to mention that the Ottoman has the Ming as a backer, even if the Ottomans go out in person, they can directly beat it and can't get up, and the tone is a little tougher: "If the Polish army continues to advance, then the Ottomans and the Ming have reason to believe that you are violating the boundaries of the anti-Dutch alliance, if you do this, you must think clearly about the consequences."

Schekhoski snorted coldly, ignored him, and rode away, and then his order was, continue to move forward, try to occupy all the land that can be occupied, at the same time, he also immediately asked people to return to China to report, so that the country can come up with a way to deal with it, for Schcherhosky's view, the Ukrainian region is the Poles are bound to get, and he also has this catty, confidence, Poland's standing army has a total of about 130,000, if there is really a strong enemy to interfere, Poland can expand at any time by another 70,000 people. The valiant Pole will never give in, and he will not give in, and if he goes back like this, I am afraid his future will be doomed.

Arr watched as the Polish army continued to advance, and angrily beckoned to his cavalry. Then he went away with the people and reported to the Ottoman camp.

，，

The intervention of the Poles was a small episode in this war, but at this time, the Ming and Ottomans really did not have the time to deal with it, although there were several warnings in their eyes, but no action was taken, and the four-way army entered Ukraine all the way from Moldova, and advanced eastward from Georgia through the Greater Caucasus Mountains. The other two roads are the large forces of the Ming army, one way from Siberia through the Ural Mountains into the Russian hinterland, the other way from the waterway to attack Rostov and take Moscow, at this time the main Russian force has been destroyed by the raid of the four armies, these poor Russian troops were still counting on embracing peace, but who knew that what was waiting for was a large army that could not see the end at a glance, and it was defeated before it could react.

In addition to the Ottoman army in the Greater Caucasus Mountains, the remaining three armies have completed their strategic objectives, and the Russian army at the end of the road has long been unable to bear it, and finally under the order of Tsar Peter have shrunk to Moscow City, Peter's wish is very simple, that is, to implement the clear of the wall. In the city of Moscow, fight to the death with these treacherous fellows.

However, it is clear that the city of Moscow is not as united as Peter expected, and the biggest reason is that many people began to doubt the Tsar, in the eyes of many people, especially the soldiers of the Russian army, when Peter ordered the peace talks, there were many people who were dissatisfied, and now the evil results of Peter's peace talks have almost put the whole of Russia into a desperate situation, which naturally makes more and more people doubt the young Tsar.
