Daming Military Empire

Chapter 482
Richelieu really didn't know the situation in the Far East. Siberia was thousands of miles away from Paris. According to the current communication speed, it would take a month for the news from the Far East to reach the imperial capital of Tsarist Russia. The news will be delayed by at least two months.

If Rozov hadn't mentioned it, Richelieu would have known that Tsarist Russia's Far Eastern Army had failed in its surprise attack and failed to take down a border guard post of the Ming Empire, that's all.

Isn't this expected? If you don't win, you won't win. As long as Tsarist Russia and the Ming Empire go to war, the success of the Persian Safavid Empire's delaying tactics also proves that the Ming Empire has already gone all out to deal with Tsarist Russia in the north. The south can't be taken care of at all, which is exactly what Richelieu wants to see.

But he never thought that Rozov suddenly ran over and told him that the Ming Empire had already reached the Yeni River Basin. Is it true?

Richelieu asked with disbelief on his face: "How is it possible, Mr. Prime Minister, don't be deceived. You can advance four to five thousand miles in more than two months. Do you believe in this speed? Also, the gathering of millions of troops Don't you need time, don't you need to prepare food and grass?"

Rozov is ashamed, the Far Eastern Army is so vulnerable, he didn't even think about it, he just received the news from Golovin, and he didn't believe it, but the problem is, his beloved General Franzbekov Later, news came that Golovin had indeed been routed to the Siberian plains, and the two had met. At this point, he couldn't believe it.

Seeing Richelieu's skeptical expression, he couldn't help turning into anger from embarrassment: "Your Highness, do you think I will believe unconfirmed news? Who knows why the Ming Empire is going crazy, so it sneaked up on a guard on their border , and the sneak attack has not been successful yet, they actually went crazy to counterattack, why didn't you remind me that the Ming Empire would be so crazy to fight us!"

Indeed, according to common sense, just a sneak attack on a small guard on the border is not enough to make Da Ming frantically seek powers like Tsarist Russia to fight desperately. Just wait for someone to come and ask for peace.

However, it should never be, never should be, Golovin accidentally killed Taifu Sun Chengzong to death!

Who is Sun Chengzong? He is a great hero who supported Zhu Cijiong to secure the throne. He is one of the few people Zhu Cijiong respects the most. How could Zhu Cijiong not be angry when he was killed.

It is a terrible thing for His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to get angry. If one is not good, Tsarist Russia will even be wiped out!
Rozov is still in the dark. He only thinks that the Ming Empire has gone crazy. After the madness, they should be concerned about the anti-Habsburg alliance behind Tsarist Russia and sit down for peace talks.

Richelieu didn't even know why the Ming Empire was going crazy. It took more than two months to advance four to five thousand miles. The speed was too terrifying. He pondered for a while, and suggested: "They are rushing like this, the rear must be Unstable, you can use your familiarity with the terrain to steal their backs and cut off their food roads. The food consumed by millions of troops is quite terrifying. Once the food roads are cut off, they will surely collapse without fighting. "

Rozov rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Your Highness, do you think my generals are idiots? They have already thought of this problem, but the Ming army did not rush forward madly, but advanced across the board. The protection of the roads is also very tight, let alone attacking their grain roads, the Far Eastern Army can’t even hide, their cavalry are scattered everywhere, and there is nowhere to hide in the area they pass by!”

Upon hearing this, Richelieu found a map, carefully looked at the Siberia region in the Far East, and then analyzed: "In such a vast area, even if there are millions of troops, they are scattered very sparsely. You may consider concentrating Destroy the superior forces one by one."

Hearing this, Rozov said helplessly: "The advance speed of the Ming army is too terrifying. Before the 20 troops we supported arrived, they had already reached the Yeni River Basin. The army, and nearly half of it was lost at the first stop, 6 or [-] people went to deal with the army of one million. .”

When Richelieu heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he asked carefully: "You mean that the 20 troops behind you didn't fight the Ming army at all?"

Rozov sighed and said: "Yes, I desperately urged you to send the muskets, but it was not because I wanted to send reinforcements there as soon as possible, but it was still too late. By the time the reinforcements arrived in the Siberian Plain, Golovin's Far East Army had already been routed there. It’s over, and then there will be another ice-covered period, so they can only stay in castles all over the Siberian plains, and wait until next year to fight again.”

Richelieu nodded and said: "Well, very good, there is still a chance, the Ming Empire may not be able to escape this time."

When Rozov heard this, he looked at Richelieu like a monster, and said in disbelief: "His Royal Highness, are you kidding me? What chance is there, more than 20 to 100 million, even if they split up again How? At best, we can find opportunities to encircle and annihilate tens of thousands of their cavalry, and let them retreat to the east of the Yeni River. Will be surrounded by them!"

Richelieu said confidently: "We will support you with another 20 muskets, and you will recruit another 20 reinforcements. Once the freezing period is over, you will send reinforcements there immediately. We should win this battle."

What a fart to win, Rozov said puzzled: "More than 40 against 100 million, the odds of winning are very small. The fighting power of the Ming army is not a joke."

A look of disdain flashed in Richelieu's eyes, and he pointed to the map and explained: "We can make a fuss in the northwest of the Ming Empire, disperse their forces, and even make the Persian Safavid Empire put on a posture to attack South Asia." , so how many troops can they keep in Siberia?"

When Rozov heard the words, he suddenly realized: "Yes, we can disperse their forces!"

However, he looked at the map and asked in confusion: "What can the northwestern part of the Ming Empire do? Will the Persian Safavid Empire dare to go to war with the Ming Empire?"

This idiot, Richelieu resisted the urge to scold, and explained patiently: "Do you know about the Wacha Department of the Mongolian Yuan Empire? You should know better than me. I heard that they were not wiped out by the Ming Empire, and They have risen slowly, can't you use them to threaten the Ming Empire?"

Of course, Rozov, the Wacha tribe of Mongolian Yuan, knew that at the beginning, Tsarist Russia was actually a grand duchy under the Mongolian Yuan Golden Horde, but the Mongolian Yuan declined and they rose. Not only do they know, but they are also very clear about their current situation, because their next goal is to expand to the Wacha Department!
If someone is sent to instigate it, it is really possible for the Wacha Department to go to war with the Ming Empire. Meng Yuan and Daming have been enemies for hundreds of years. Rozov nodded excitedly: "Your Highness, you are simply too powerful, Wacha It is indeed possible to go to war with the Ming Empire, but how dare the Persian Safavid Empire?"

Richelieu said angrily: "It's not that they really want to go to war with the Ming Empire, gather an army, how dare you put on a show!"
