Daming Military Empire

Chapter 614

Although the Wushan mountain range divides the Eurasian continent into two, the altitude is not very high. The northern part of the mountain range is the highest, but there are no mountains exceeding [-] zhang. There are very few high mountains, usually more than three hundred feet, and some places are even less than two hundred feet, which is far from the famous mountains and rivers in Daming.

The Wushan mountain range is not a continuous mountain range, but is divided into several sections. There are huge gaps between each section. It is relatively convenient to pass through. The place where the South Road army led by Cao Wenzhao is camping is in Wushan. The gap between the Wushan section and the southern section of Wushan Mountain is quite large, and there is even a big river in the middle that directly passes through the Wushan Mountains and enters the territory of Europe.

The river next to the Ming army camp on the South Road flows into the European territory, so it is naturally not a tributary of the Ob River. The nearest tributary of the Ob River here is more than two hundred miles away, so Lu Xiang did not rise very quickly.

Since the railway has not been repaired, Lu Xiangsheng can only lead the Ming army on the east route from the Yeni River to the north into the Arctic Ocean, and then turn to the main trunk of the Ob River, upstream, and rush here. The time on the boat alone will take It took more than ten days to go, and after disembarking from the nearest tributary of the Ob River, he had to lead his army to walk more than two hundred miles by land.

Therefore, Cao Wenzhao camped at the foot of Wushan Mountain for more than half a month before waiting for Lu Xiangsheng's army from the east. However, at this time, Kopelov, the envoy of the Tsarist Russian peace talks, had just been pushed back by him for a few days, and he might not have returned to the imperial capital of Tsarist Russia. Regarding the peace talks The problem is not urgent.

Is Lu Xiangsheng here to host the peace talks?It doesn't seem like it, if he came to host the peace talks, he wouldn't have to bring all the 30 Ming troops from the East Road, and the first thing he said when he saw Cao Wenzhao was: "The emperor has an order, quickly gather all the prisoners, and repair the war. The railway from the tributary of the Ob River to the Osan line, and the Osan City was built in the east of Osan as the core of the entire Osan defense line."

This meant that peace talks were needed, otherwise there would be no need to establish the Wushan line of defense, and just fight over.

However, it is not Lu Xiangsheng who is in charge of the peace talks. Zhu Cijiong has already made arrangements. Zhennan Wang Zheng Zhilong has already set out from Nanyang Xingcheng Port to host the peace talks. It is not that he does not believe in Lu Xiangsheng's ability. He was afraid that Lu Xiangsheng would not be able to speak out about an unprecedented demand for huge compensation.

Lu Xiangsheng still doesn't know that the emperor wants the lion to open his mouth wide. He only knows that Wushan City should be built as soon as possible according to the emperor's will.

Naturally, a lot of materials are needed to build a city. It is difficult to build a city in a place with inconvenient transportation, because the transportation of materials is very difficult. Therefore, the first step is to build a railway from the tributary of the Ob River to Osan, so that materials can pass through the Western Region Railway It was transported to the city of Rem, and then transported from the Rem River to the nearby tributary of the Ob River, and then transported by rail to the foot of Osan Mountain.

It is not uncommon for the Ming army to build railways. Most of the soldiers of the Ming army have experience in building railways. A railway of two hundred miles is just a piece of cake for 60 soldiers of the Ming army. The roadbed will be paved soon after driving the mountain car and the gravel. There is no need to cut the sleepers now, and it can be poured directly with reinforced concrete. As soon as the materials from Rem City arrive, this section of the railway will be completed soon .

However, the train is a problem, because this section of the railway is still a separate section for the time being, and it is not connected to other railways. The train cannot be driven at all, so the train can only be dismantled into pieces and transported by boat.

Fortunately, the city of Rem is not very far from here. It takes less than ten days to go down the Rem River and then upstream from the main stem of the Ob River to enter the nearest tributary here. The Lu Ming army is all gathered here, which means that the [-] Fuchuan warships of the Daming Royal Shipping Company are all nearby, and the transportation capacity is quite sufficient.

After Lu Xiangsheng analyzed the current situation, he sent a lot of transfer orders by telegram:

Order Mao Wenlong to lead the Dongjiang Army to take over all the bastions in the Yeni River Basin and the defense of Rem City;
Order Ma Xianglin to lead the Second Army Corps of the Border Guards to take over all the bastions in the Ob River Basin and strengthen defense;

Order Sun Chuanting to lead the Qin army to escort 20 captives from various countries in the Western Regions to join;

Order Mangui to lead the Liaodong Army to escort all the Russian captives who were scattered in various bastions to join them and so on.

Now that the Ming army has captured the entire Siberian Plain, the Western Regions and the Yenihe line are no longer the frontier defense line. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng moved the entire defense line forward to the Wushan line. In this way, the entire Wushan line has gathered nine Ming troops. The regular army corps and the three navy regular corps, even if the European powers attack with all their strength, it will be useless.

The transportation capacity of the Ming army was indeed not built. In less than half a month, Sun Chuanting led the Qin army to escort 20 captives from various countries in the Western Regions to arrive, and at the same time brought countless supplies, some for building cities and railways. .

The three marshals of the Ming Empire Army gathered again, and the construction of the railway and the city started at the same time, and the foot of Wushan suddenly became extremely lively.

Soon Mangui also led the Liaodong Army to escort the Tsarist Russian prisoners. This time the number of prisoners was even larger. Because the Ming army's weapons and equipment were too advanced, the advance was hopeless, so the Tsarist Russian defenders in various bastions did not desperately resist. The vast majority of those who desperately avoided the shells and then surrendered, so the number of Tsarist Russian defenders captured this time has reached a terrifying [-] or so!

So far, the Ming army has assembled 80 regular troops and 50 captives at the foot of Wushan Mountain. Even the battalion is more than a hundred miles away. The formation is simply huge and scary.

At this time, Kopelov came running over again. At this time, the envoys of the European powers had arrived, and the armies of various countries were also gathering in the Nordic seas, so he was even more arrogant than last time. Why don't you accept it? Then he came to fight, and he really wanted to tell that Cao, if you don't retreat, he will really fuck you.

However, he was frightened before he arrived at the camp of the Ming army. There was a city wall here, and it was a city wall that could not be seen at a glance. Although the city wall had not been completed, the scale was scary enough. Build a big city here!

He looked at the densely packed figures on the city wall again, and there were many of them in Tsarist uniforms. Hell, the Ming army actually let the Tsarist captives build the city wall to deal with Tsarist Russia.

Due to the Ming army's blockade, Tsarist Russia's spies could not get close to the Ming army camp. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, neither Tsarist Russia nor the European powers knew that the Ming army was building a city here.

This is to make it clear that the troops will not be withdrawn, especially when the Tsarist Russian prisoners were used to build the city wall. Kopelov felt that he could no longer bear it. He came to the Ming army camp angrily, but was shocked again. The Ming army camp expanded. Three or four times, how many Ming troops have come here?
But when he thought of the support of five great powers behind him, his arrogance came up again. After all, the Ming Empire was only one country. Would he dare to go to war with six great powers at the same time?

When he arrogantly followed the Ming army translator into a side tent, he didn't make a mistake and twisted his nose. The deputy marshal surnamed Cao didn't sit in the main seat, but was with a man in the same suit. The Ming army general in the marshal uniform sat on the left side, and the Ming army general in the marshal uniform in the middle must be the Grand Marshal of the Ming Empire Army.

It was agreed that he would send someone to inform him after receiving instructions from his superiors. Now that his immediate superiors have arrived, and he is still kept in the dark, he finally understands that this Cao man has been perfunctory to him from the beginning to the end, and there is no such thing as Take him seriously!
He sat down angrily, and asked very bluntly: "What do you mean by the Ming Empire?"

Lu Xiangsheng is not Cao Wenzhao. Although he is not in charge of the peace talks, he is the boss of the Ming Army. He has a bunch of generals under him. How dare a small Tsarist general speak to him in such a tone? He asked bluntly Said: "What do you mean by Tsarist Russia?"

Relying on the support of the great powers, Kopelov said arrogantly: "We mean to let you withdraw from the whole of Siberia immediately."

Lu Xiangsheng snorted and said coldly: "Dream."

Kopelov was so angry, he immediately threatened: "You have to think carefully, our allies of Tsarist Russia have already begun to gather large armies, and what you are going to face is the Allied Forces of the Six Nations."

Lu Xiangsheng knew the combat power of the Ming Army best, so what about the Allied Forces of the Six Nations, he said without changing his face: "If you fight, I'm afraid you won't succeed?"
