Daming Military Empire

Chapter 665 An eye for an eye, continue westward

The ice and snow melted, everything revived, and with the departure of the cold winter, the Wushan Mountains showed vigorous vitality again.

The huge Wushan City is also busy at this time. The Second Army Corps of the Frontier Defense Army has set off one after another, rushing to the central and northern parts of the Wushan Mountains to build bastions and garrison troops. Rushed to the various key passes in the southern part of the Wushan Mountains to garrison.

Everything is proceeding as planned years ago. The First Army Corps of the Frontier Defense Army is stationed in the southern part of Wushan and Wushan City, the Second Army Corps of the Frontier Defense Army is stationed in the central part of Wushan Mountain and the northern part of Wushan Mountain. To frighten the countries in the Western Regions is also to save the cost of food and grass transshipment. After all, Wushan City is too far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains, and it will cost a lot to transport food and grass.

Sun Chuanting was in a pretty good mood at the moment. After fighting outside for so long, and stationed in this frighteningly cold extreme north for a severe winter, now that he could finally go back, even though he was used to military life, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

However, this good mood ended completely with the arrival of a eunuch.

This eunuch is not a notorious villain, Cao Huachun's control over his subordinates is still relatively strict, the current eunuchs are not at all as arrogant and domineering as Wei Zhongxian was when he was in power, and they are determined not to do bad things.

This eunuch is not here to supervise the army. Zhu Cijiong is not so incompetent that he needs to rely on eunuchs to govern the country.

In fact, the eunuch was only here to deliver the decree. He brought a secret decree written by the emperor himself. As for the specific content, he didn't know what it was, and he didn't dare to point fingers in front of Sun Chuanting, deputy marshal of the army. He ran away after delivering the decree. Well, it's almost summer and it's so cold in this damn place, he doesn't want to stay longer.

Sun Chuanting couldn't help being surprised, why did the emperor send eunuchs to deliver the decree in person now that there are telegrams? Although trains and ships are relatively fast, it will take at least ten days from the capital to arrive here, why bother?

When he opened the secret decree, he understood that it wasn't that the emperor didn't want to send a telegram, but that the telegram really couldn't send so many things.

This is not so much a secret decree as it is a letter. What the emperor confessed is not a sentence or two, but several pages densely written.

Sun Chuanting couldn't help sighing after reading the secret decree. It seems that he won't want to go back in a short time.

However, he didn't get depressed because of this. He only thought about going home when he had nothing to do. Now that something happened, he naturally wouldn't think about it anymore. He always put state affairs first.

He already understood the meaning of the emperor, that is to consume people, the longer the consumption, the better, the louder the better, in short, it is to consume the enemy's manpower and material resources as much as possible.

To make the enemy panic and increase their troops, it seems that the strength of the Qin army is not enough. He thought about it, and then said loudly: "Come on."

Sun Chuanting ordered the guards to enter in response, and Sun Chuanting immediately ordered: "Elect Zu Dabi and Hou Gongji, each with 5 horses, come to Wushan City to listen to the order, and leave the defense of Rem City and Tungus City to your generals." .”

The personal guards left as ordered, Sun Chuanting thought for a while, then pulled out a map, and began to think carefully.

If we want to continue westward, we must first consider the traffic problem. Although there is a large gap between the central part of Wushan Mountain and the southern part of Wushan Mountain, the terrain is complex, the land and water intersect, and the height is uneven. It is not suitable for a large army to advance. May be attacked by the enemy.

The emperor's secret decree also has a special statement, to fight steadily, step by step, build the railway line slowly, it doesn't matter if you don't fight a battle, as long as you can attract the enemy.

Sun Chuanting is actually quite good at how to fight this protracted war. Before there were no trains and ships, it was normal to fight a big war for a few years. Wasn't that what he originally learned?

Following Sun Chuanting's order after order, the Ming army, which had been at a standstill, slowly started to move.

First, the First Army Corps of the Border Guards in the southern part of Wushan. They guarded the key points and suddenly became dishonest. They frequently sent cavalry into the territory of Tsarist Russia to plunder everywhere, just like the original nomadic tribes raiding grass valleys. People on the border were in panic, a large number of civilians moved westward, and the army hid in their respective bastions, daring not to come out.

Tsarist Russia dared not speak out about this kind of behavior, because the Ming army was too powerful, and they couldn’t beat it with their strength. If it weren’t for the collective solidarity of the anti-Habsburg alliance powers, the “forced” Ming Empire signed the agreement. The armistice treaty, I am afraid that Tsarist Russia has long been wiped out by the Ming Empire!
This kind of connivance seems to have fueled the arrogance of the Ming army. Immediately afterwards, the Second Army of the Border Guards became dishonest. They also frequently sent cavalry into the territory of Tsarist Russia to loot everywhere, causing the entire eastern border of Tsarist Russia to be restless. Almost gone.

If this is the case, no matter how angry Tsarist Russia is, they will have to swallow their anger. The Ming army is so powerful that they simply cannot do it, and the allies will not come to support such a trivial matter. What can they do?

However, the actions of the Ming army did not stop there. Not long after, the Ming army started from Wushan City and went all the way west to build a railway!
In fact, there are not many people repairing the railway. Zhu Cijiong also transferred [-] construction troops from the Eurasian Railway. The necessary materials have been delivered to Rem City one after another, and they are slowly moving to Wushan City, which will not affect the progress there.

Tsarist Russia can't sit still now. If the Ming army is allowed to repair the railway and transport the armored chariots there, who can stop it!
Rozov, the Prime Minister of Tsarist Russia, was almost scared to death. The Ming Empire is too domineering. He just ordered a surprise attack on their border guards, and they snatched the whole of Siberia. He was almost thrown out of power by his political opponents. .

Now that the armistice treaty has just been signed, and the indemnity in the treaty has been paid on time, they have started to march west again, why don't they be so rascal!

He knew that Tsarist Russia would be wiped out by the Ming Empire if he didn't think of a way out, and there was actually no other way to think of it at the moment, but to ask the allies for help, that old fox Richelieu would definitely not just sit back and watch the Ming Empire be wiped out Tsarist Russia entered Europe in one fell swoop.

So he quickly sent envoys to France to ask Richelieu for help.

At the same time, he was lucky enough to send envoys to Wushan City to protest against the Ming Empire for not abiding by the armistice treaty, to see if he could use this to make the Ming Empire, which had always regarded itself as great and upright, withdraw its troops.

In the end, the envoy was sent back by Sun Chuanting very unceremoniously. The reason was simple:
As soon as our Ming Empire retreated, you launched an attack on our allies. You really think the Ming Empire is easy to bully!

Who is bullying whom? Rozov almost wants to cry.
