Chapter 773: Conquest

The officers behind Shanenov and Shanenov obviously did not look at the corpses of the special envoys on the ground again.

It is unreasonable to say that you have no guilt towards your homeland at all.

But now, the lives of the six or seven thousand Russian military camps are maintained on the front line. They are now the biggest sinners in the eyes of the Orthodox Church and the Tsar, and they are no longer allowed to choose.

What's more... it's really profitable to fight for Liaodong people here.

They even saw the railway and more new firearms.

In the firearm workshops in Liaodong, whether it is the Jiannu people, Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Zicheng's refugee army, they can always report various weapons issues from the battlefield at any time.

Based on these issues, the firearm workshops have made corrections, whether it is swords, guns, swords and halberds, to cannons and muskets, many weapons are being improved step by step.

Of course, these people from the Western Expedition often did not have much interest in heavy artillery and long guns. What they loved the most was the short gun that Shanenov was now in his arms.

This thing is easy to carry and can also be fired on war horses. It is also very suitable for close combat. Most importantly, the requirements for supply are not high.

This time, they returned to Liaodong and the first thing they did was to buy short guns...

Coupled with a large amount of military procurement, the Zhang family's funds have been revitalized.

At this time, Zhang Jing looked at Shanenov, sat down casually, and smiled and said, "How many people are there in the Russian military camp now?"

Shanenov said respectfully: "Your Highness, there are 6,433 people."

Zhang Jingyi said: "There are still quite a lot of people, so what about the Tsar... How many soldiers are there in the Tsar's account?"

"This is hard to say." Shanenov thought for a while and pondered: "At present, there may be only about 100,000 people, including the Tsar's guards and cavalry. However, if a war breaks out, I think they may be able to summon and mobilize more people."

"How powerful is the combat power?" Zhang Jingyi continued to ask.

Shanenov thought for a while and said, "Most of the soldiers can endure hardships, but the supplies in the army are hard to describe. Most of them have thin clothes and ate chaff on weekdays. However, their land is vast and the tsar's vassals are everywhere. If they go to the fortification one by one, not only will the frozen soil warm up after spring, and the land is extremely muddy, which will greatly lag behind the pace of advancement and will also lengthen the supply of various troops. The best way... is to take Moscow directly regardless of everything."

"Moscow City is the place where the Tsar is located. Although the guards are guarded by layers, it is also the largest hub in the entire Russian territory. As long as the hub is cut off, it will not only make the Tsar surrender, but also completely reduce the vast Russia to pieces of fragmented land. If it occupy this place, people will be sent to recruit people to attack them. Those who are willing to surrender will still cooperate and things will go much smoother. In the future, if the railway in Liaodong can be built into its hinterland, it will be difficult for them to surrender at that time."

As he said, Shanenov said again: "I came to Liaodong and realized that the world was so big, and that there were such strong ships and cannons in the world! Your Highness's ambition was obviously not entirely in Russia. If he could recruit Russians, continue to move westward and recruit Ottomans, the land there would be more fertile, occupying the best port in the world, spanning the center of the world..."

Shanenov is also a ruthless person.

He must have felt guilty towards his compatriots.

To be honest, if the Tsar had not regarded him as a rebellious person, he would not have surrendered Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng with others.

If the Tsar had not wanted to make peace with His Highness the King of Liao, he would have been even more unlikely to kill the Tsar's envoy himself.

It can be said that he was forced to come to this point again and again by being forced to push him.

Deep in his heart, he still has the blood and values ​​of the Russians.

But Liaodong and his delegation made him realize that... Tsar's Russia must be unable to be preserved.

Here he saw the steam train, the ironclad ships on the port, the exquisite firearms, and countless wealth gathered here.

He even saw an ambition to dominate the world, beating here.

Perhaps in his opinion, the Liao king in front of him did not have the idea of ​​ruling or controlling the world.

But... everyone in Liaodong he came into contact with seemed to be longing for something.

Ordinary people keep circulating stories of adventurers, stories of those who went to Urals and those sailors who drove out of the harbor with merchant ships, how they returned home in glory.

The merchants are constantly discussing new markets and new raw materials. When they talk about the newly developed land one by one, they are full of surprises and cannot hide greed in their eyes. This unsatisfied desire seems to be unable to satisfy.

The soldiers here seem to think about how to obtain military merit every day.

Yes...Their weapons are so well-deserved. Compared with other countries, they can earn military merits without paying too much!

Military merit is the best shortcut to change everyone's destiny. When the war loss ratio is extremely low, changing one's own destiny is a great encouragement for most young people.

Everyone here is talking about the world. Although they are bound to a peninsula, their concern for the outside world is far greater than that of everyone in the world.

Because of this, Shanenov made a judgment, that is... they are already unstoppable.

The only thing he can do to maintain his conscience is to ask His Highness the King of Liao to make the Russians part of Liaodong, and even become pawns, and then continue the expedition for Liaodong and play the role of a senior servant army.

Since conquest is inevitable, at least we should strive to gain a good position in this empire before reconstructing it.

Zhang Jingyi was so smart that she seemed to understand his mind.

He smiled slightly, then sighed and said, "You are the vanguard in the battle against Moscow. Tell Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, just say that this is what I said."

Shanenov suddenly understood what it meant, and he turned around and looked at dozens of officers.

These officers seemed to have understood something when they listened to the Mongolian translations, but at this time they were inspired.

In the refugee army, the vanguard actually has the most spoils, and the vanguard often means elites.

Of course, it is not just that, letting them take the lead in seizing Moscow, which also means that the Liao King is very likely to recognize Shanenov's advice.

生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生生�

After taking Moscow, they will become commendors and new agents of the Russians in the future. They may recruit people from all over Russia and participate in the war against the West.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shanenov said Chinese words stutteringly.

Zhang Jingyi continued: "This time I enter the west of Urals, I need a lot of translation, so cultivating translation is the top priority. If there are young talents to be made in your Russian military camp, you can stay and learn languages ​​for the time being. I don't care about other things. As for the Tsar's problem, they are no longer a problem."

Shanenov and others saluted and happily left.

Zhang Jingyi looked at the corpses on the ground and couldn't help but sigh. In fact, there was another general translation brought by the Tsar mission. Because it was the appearance of an Eastern Mongol, he was not killed. But he looked at the other people in the mission, but his face turned pale and his body was already trembling.

Zhang Jing glanced at him, but said gently: "You don't have to be afraid. They killed people. I have never killed them, so I will not kill you."

"Yes, yes." This translation was frightened and could only work hard to stabilize his mind: "Your Highness, the supreme King of Liao, your kindness..."

Zhang Jingyi seemed impatient to listen to these words, so he interrupted him and said lukewarmly: "Go back and tell the Tsar that I think of the people, and I want to stop the army and discuss peace with each other. But... It's time for this, it's impossible to discuss peace. Then, see you on the battlefield."

How dare you say anything else in the general translation? In Zhang Jingyi's faint gaze, he only said in a regular manner: "Yes."

A few days later, the refugee soldiers were ready to go after the rest.

But this time, their equipment was obviously better and more recruited.

In addition to the Russian military camp, Zhang Xianzhong's old camp, and Li Zicheng's old camp, there is also an adventurer camp that follows. Most of these people are unwilling to restless and want to take risks in the West.

Therefore, the number of people and horses was nearly 30,000, while the number of cattle and horses in the army exceeded 90,000. In addition to the other supplies, there were countless numbers.

At this time, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were a little impatient and decided to set off earlier.

Because while the refugee army was resting, the Jiannu people were already killing crazy in front of them.

Because of their negligence, the refugee army made rapid progress. When Huang Taiji and other Jiannu nobles came back, they found that they had opened the door to the Ural Mountains.

In fact, the pressure on Jiannu people is still very high.

The fact that so many women and children have to support is mainly because after having tasted the sweetness in the front, the living standards of the women and families in the rear have also increased. It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Therefore, in order to obtain greater income, they cannot allow the refugee generals to take all the benefits.

Because of this, these Jiannu people who were not afraid of the cold actually began to flock across the Ural Mountains in winter and attacked everywhere on the frozen soil of Russia.

And they were surprised to find that the more westward the land was, the more fertile the land was.

In addition, the Jiannu people began to recruit people from Mongolian tribes to fill the vacancies on the front line.

After receiving one good news on the front line, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong suddenly heard a loud alarm in their hearts.

They suddenly realized that if they continued to delay, they would inevitably not be able to drink a sip of soup, so they made a quick decision and decided to attack immediately.

Thanks to the leader of Yulou for the reward. I underwent eye correction surgery during the Chinese New Year. I cannot use the computer for a long time and have to recover slowly, so the update also needs to be restored slowly.
