The doctors in the tsar's court tried all kinds of traditional methods to stop the bleeding, but nothing worked.The prince bled profusely for several days, to the point of dying.At this time, some close royals told the Queen about Rasputin's deeds, and the Queen, who was in a hurry to seek medical treatment, immediately ordered Rasputin to enter the palace.

To everyone's surprise, Rasputin just looked at Alexei, and his bleeding stopped.Seeing the prince getting better day by day, the queen's admiration for Rasputin has reached an unbelievable level.But soon the Tsar was not happy. Rasputin was unkempt and never took a bath. His smell could be smelled tens of meters away.Later, Nicholas II found an excuse, sent Rasputin out, and made him never return to Moscow.

Nicholas II's decision did not let Rasputin down, because soon the prince Alexei was injured again.Looking at the bleeding wound, the queen begged Nicholas II to bring Rasputin back.Worried about his son, Nicholas II had to compromise in the end, and Rasputin lived up to his expectations, and once again saved the little prince.

After this one, the royal family revered Rasputin, and he became the most sought-after figure in the country.Everyone was amazed by Rasputin's miracle, but in fact Rasputin helped Alexei stop bleeding twice, using Hualan's Cochin Baiyao.

Because the Raksha people have always looked down on Hualan, no one is willing to use Chinese medicines, which makes the court doctors miss the opportunity to learn about new medicines.Rasputin took advantage of this loophole and entered the country's core high-level through Prince Alexei.

Because he used Cochin Baiyao to cure Alexei, Rasputin paid attention to those medicines in the Western District for a while.Now that the war is in the ascendant, for a battlefield with a large number of casualties, the supply of various medicines produced in the Western Special Zone has always been in short supply.Although Hanxing Group has repeatedly increased production, the supply problem remains the same.Seeing a large amount of money flowing into pharmaceutical companies, Rasputin is not usually greedy.

During this imperial meeting to discuss the possibility of attacking Hualan, Rasputin immediately thought of those highly profitable pharmaceutical companies.If you can control those unique pharmaceutical factories in the world, isn't the wealth in the world what you want?Rasputin felt the excitement.At this time Nicholas II looked at him, and Rasputin naturally wanted to add fuel and vinegar.

It was easy for Rasputin to pretend to be a magic stick. He closed his eyes and muttered for a while: "Your Majesty, according to God's will, your attack on Hualan will surely be a success."

"Great, God bless Rakshasa Kingdom." Alekseev cheered excitedly.

"The bandits from Hualan are now harassing the central mainland, and our local garrison is unable to cope, so we just use this to start a war." Kaledin came up with a brilliant idea.

Chapter 6 and Nine Deliberately Provoking

"Very good, let's use this as an excuse to start a war against Hualan." Nicholas II immediately made a decision.Priscilla and Duke Yusupov looked at each other, they knew that no matter how hard they tried, they could not prevent Rakshasa from going to war against Hualan.

The two sober-minded politicians understood that once Rakshasa opened up the Far East battlefield, it would not be far from defeat, and the source of all this was Rasputin.In fact, the two have been dissatisfied with him for a long time, because Rasputin's viciousness is more than the above. Taking advantage of the trust of Emperor Luocha and his wife, Rasputin wantonly eliminated dissidents and dealt with those who were dissatisfied with him.

In just less than two years from 1914 to the present, at Rasputin's suggestion, the country has changed four ministers, the chairman of the parliament, six ministers of the interior, four ministers of war, three ministers of foreign affairs and four ministers of justice. Minister.Among those who were brought down by him, the lucky ones lost all their rights, and the unlucky ones were exiled to Northern Lia and even hanged, so the ministers feared and hated him.

The two knew that this time they must not tolerate any more, otherwise the Rakshasa Empire would be doomed, so they decided to secretly kill this magic stick.

Since coming to Moscow, Rasputin quickly recovered his old appearance, and he started a life of dissolute life like his hometown.Because he is regarded as a god, people in the upper class respect Rasputin very much, and he also takes advantage of this convenience to show mercy.Soon up to the countess, marshal's wife, down to ordinary citizens and even female beggars, he accepted all orders without refusing to accept them, drinking and carnival all day and all night.In today's high society in St. Petersburg, there are not a few people who want to kill Rasputin.

A few days after Nicholas II decided to send troops, Prince Yusupov began his assassination plan.The Duke first asked his wife to invite Rasputin to dinner at the Duke's Mansion. The Duchess is a famous beauty of Rakshasa and the object of Rasputin's long-cherished pursuit.

Rasputin had no doubts about the duchess' invitation, and he quickly arrived at the residence of Prince Yusupov.However, a net of death is approaching for Rasputin, and he has no chance to escape.During the banquet, Prince Yusupov joined forces with Prishvich to severely wound Rasputin with a dagger and a revolver, and then threw him into a hole in the glacier.

When police found Rasputin's body two days later, he was already dead.Hearing of Rasputin's death, Nicholas II was furious. He arrested and executed many of his accomplices. Exile.

Regardless of whether Rasputin is dead or not, the battle against Hualan is imperative and cannot be changed.The Raksha State quickly issued a note to the Hualan government, severely condemning the Hualan bandits' attack on the territory of the Raksha State, and demanded an explanation from the Hualan government and compensation.

Regarding the unreasonable demands of the Raksha Kingdom, the Beihua City Government seemed at a loss.Now that the Southern National Defense Army is swarming, the Northern Territory Army needs to meet the enemy with all its strength, so how can it pay attention to the Raksha Kingdom? For this reason, Yuan Kai directly called Zhao Shouhong.

"Your Majesty came to see me, what's the matter?" Because he only held the position of a clerk, Zhao Shouhong usually did not go to court.Today Yuan Kui specially brought Zhao Shouhong here, so he naturally wanted to ask about his intentions.

Yuan Kui cleared his throat and said, "Today the Raksha Kingdom sent a note, claiming that in the border area of ​​northern Xinjiang, Chinese bandits invaded the Central Mainland, which seriously disturbed the tranquility of the Raksha Kingdom, and asked us to explain."

Zhao Shouhong sneered and said, "What? Do I need Hualan to explain why I found the Hualan bandits? What's the point? We don't have jurisdiction over the mainland. Why do they have to question us? We are related, so the Cossack bandits have been violating our country's border for a long time, so the Raksha government should also make corresponding compensation?" Zhao Shouhong said this on purpose, because the Raksha country minister was standing next to him.

Hearing Zhao Shouhong's words, the Minister of the Raksha State shouted angrily: "You are sophistry. These Hualan bandits haunt the border. They have considerable military literacy and excellent weapons, and they have caused a huge damage to our garrison. Threat, you must be responsible."

"Joke, your army sucks. Do you want me to be in charge? If you want me to be in charge, it's fine. Give me the management of the entire Central Continent, and I will eradicate the local bandits." Zhao Shouhong said indifferently.

The envoy of the Raksha Kingdom said angrily: "You are openly ignoring our country's legitimate demands and making illegal demands on our territory. Are you going to declare war on our Raksha Kingdom empire?"

"Our country cannot manage affairs outside its own territory. Now the Rakshasa government is incompetent and unable to restore peace to the mainland. I think it is a wise move for you to hand over that piece of land to Hualan." Zhao Shouhong deliberately Going to be a rogue, because he just wanted to arouse the anger of the Raksha people and start a war with Hualan.

Zhao Shouhong didn't know that the other party thought the same as him.The more the two talked, the more angry they became, and the more they talked, the more outrageous they became. Finally, the Minister of the Raksha Kingdom yelled at Yuan Kai: "You are going too far. I am declaring war on the Hualan Empire on behalf of the Raksha Kingdom Empire. I hope you have done a good job. Prepare to bear the wrath of our army." After speaking, he left without looking back.

The monarchs and ministers present were all dumbfounded. Just now, Zhao Shouhong and the minister of the Raksha Kingdom spoke too fast, and there was no chance for others to intervene.Now that they finally had a chance, it was too late for them to say anything.Yuan Kai clicked his lips twice and asked, "Zhao Aiqing, now that the Raksha Kingdom has declared war on our country, how do you think we should deal with it?"

"Soldiers come to block the water and cover them with soil. Could it be that my Hualan soldiers are not as good as the Raksha people? I want to show those old men how my Hualan elite troops wiped them all out." Zhao Shouhong's words made people Everyone is surprised.Originally, Yuan Kai brought Zhao Shouhong to ask him to discuss how to cooperate with the Raksha people to suppress the bandits.Unexpectedly, the two of them fell apart directly, and there was no room for change.

"However, the domestic war is becoming more and more difficult now, how to deal with the attack of the Raksha Kingdom." Yuan Kai also had difficulties when he said this. On January 1916, 1, Cai Songpo personally led the main force of the First Army of the National Defense Army, Zhao Youxin's Second Echelon Regiment and Gu Pinzhen's Third Echelon Regiment to march forward. On February 16, the National Defense Army captured Changsha.

In mid-February, the National Defense Army repeatedly defeated the arrogance of Cao Kun and Zhang Jingyao in the Naxi area. On March 2, the National Defense Army finally severely damaged Zhang Jingyao's Seventh Division, so that the Northern Territory Army did not dare to attack the National Defense Army again. The army took a heavy blow.

Chapter 6 Ten Rakshasa Invasion

On February 2, Li Liejun led the Second Army of the National Defense Army to advance to the west of Guangdong to assist Lu Rongting's department in meeting the Guangdong Army's Long Jinguang Department who had invaded Jiaozhi under the order of Yuan Kai. In mid-March, Li Liejun's Department opened the Confucian Detachment and the Jinjin Army Huang Yucheng's Department, Zhao Zhongqi's Detachment of the Third Army of the National Defense Army, and the Maji Department of the Gui Army besieged Baise.Facing the superior enemy forces, Long Jinguang disarmed and surrendered, and electrified to agree to the republic.

On March 3, Lu Rongting took the opportunity to declare the independence of western Guangdong in Liuzhou, smashing Yuan Kai's plot to attack the National Defense Army from the rear.When Li Liejun marched into eastern Guangdong, the Revolutionary Party immediately expressed its support for the national defense army and announced that the eastern Guangdong army was in an uprising. The national defense war had reached its climax.At such a moment, how could Yuan Kai take out new troops and weapons to deal with the full blow of the Raksha people.

Zhao Shouhong pretended to think for a moment and said: "That's all right, I'll immediately return to the Western Special Zone to take command. With my military strength in the Western Special Zone, it should be enough to hold a stalemate for a while. As long as the Raksha people are too busy on the Western Front, they will naturally Slowly withdraw your troops."

Looking at the generals on the left and right, Yuan Kai sighed: "It has to be like this." Now Yuan Kai only thinks about how to resist the attack of the Raksha Kingdom, and he has no time to worry about whether Zhao Shouhong will be out of control because of this. up.Relying on the tremendous pressure from the Raksha Kingdom, Zhao Shouhong finally got the chance to leave Beihua City.

This time, Zhao Shouhong didn't need to be as sneaky as Cai Songpo. He took his wife and children, many guards, and the redeemed Hongju and Xiaofengxian, and set foot on the road back to the Western Special Zone.Zhao Shouhong planned to go to Tanggu to take a boat, just like Cai Songpo's route, first take a boat back to Guanghai City, and then go up the river to Zhongchuan to sit in town.This kind of journey will take at least half a month, but the war waits for no one. Zhao Shouhong has just set off from Beihua City, and fierce conflicts have broken out on the border that has always been on guard.

The Raksha army, who had been prepared for a long time, raided Tangnu Wulianghai, hoping to control this fertile land in one fell swoop, and use it as a base to invade the territory of West Xiongnu Province.The Luocha army had a good idea, but as soon as they entered this place, they exchanged fire with the outer Hun cavalry division stationed nearby.

After receiving the warning from the General Staff Headquarters, Ma Hongkui, the commander of the Outer Huns Cavalry Division, had already dispatched a large number of scouts to find out the deployment of the Luocha Army.Therefore, when the Luocha army launched an all-out attack, Ma Hongkui was able to deal with it calmly.

As a military test, two divisions and a Cossack brigade of the Northern Lia Army of the Rakshasa Army crossed the Sayan Mountains and advanced towards Hualan territory.The enemy army divided into three groups and rushed towards Kusu Gulpo in a mighty way, trying to cut off the connection between Tannu Wulianghai and the mainland.

Facing the enemy's attack, Ma Hongkui decided to concentrate all his forces to make a surprise attack, and first wipe out one of the Luocha troops.After analyzing the opponent's force structure and threat, he decided to destroy the No.16 Cossack Cavalry Brigade, the enemy's most maneuverable cavalry brigade.

The Outer Huns cavalry division sent scouts in all directions. With the help of the herdsmen, they quickly figured out the opponent's direction of travel and deployment of troops.The Rakshasa Army knew nothing about the establishment of the Xite Army stationed in Tangnu Wulianghai, and the Rakshasa Army was in an unknown state from the very beginning.

The Cossack cavalry brigade marched the fastest. These cavalry units that had not experienced major setbacks were very proud. In their view, they did not need the cooperation of the army at all.Only relying on the Cossack cavalry, they can use the sharp saber in their hands to destroy all the enemies of the Raksha Kingdom just like their ancestors conquered Northern Lia.

After crossing the Sayan Mountains, the Cossack cavalry brigade, who thought they could sweep everything, let go of their horse speed.They galloped in the direction of Kusu Gulpo in battle formation, leaving the slow-moving Raksha army infantry far behind, but what they didn't know was that a catastrophe was imminent.

Ma Hongkui led the Outer Huns cavalry division to avoid the rangers of the Cossack cavalry brigade skillfully. The whole army went all the way north and inserted behind the Cossacks. Then they turned east and followed the Cossack cavalry brigade.The brigade commander of the Cossack cavalry brigade, Major General Khmelnitsky, urged his horses to rush to the forefront of the Cossack cavalry brigade's offensive arrows.The sound of horseshoes behind him startled Khmelnitsky. He turned his head and found that it was Major Bolotnikov, the battalion commander in charge of the rear.

Major Bolotnikov tried to speed up, and soon came to Major General Khmelnytsky and hurriedly reported: "General, there are horseshoes behind us, it seems that someone is chasing us?"

"Chasing us?" Major General Khmelnytsky rolled his eyes and said immediately, "It must be the Huns cavalry from the local tribe. Those guys' weapons are very backward and they are not vulnerable. The whole army stopped advancing immediately and turned to meet the enemy. We are going to teach those Huns a lesson they will never forget."

Under the yelling of Major General Khmelnitsky, there were bursts of shouts in the cavalry team, which is a unique way for Cossack cavalry to pass messages to each other.Soon the cavalry brigade slowly slowed down, they still maintained a neat formation and made a left turn, aiming the head of the wedge formation at the way they came.

All the Cossack cavalry stood neatly in formation, lifted their cloaks in unison, and pulled out their Cossack cavalry swords. All the movements were smooth and smooth, obviously this was a well-trained cavalry team.

"The whole army stops advancing." Seeing the Cossack cavalry stop advancing in the distance, Ma Hongkui also issued an order.These Huns, who grew up on horseback since they were young, were more proficient in riding than walking. He stopped quickly with a very short distance as a buffer.

Seeing the Huns cavalry stop advancing so quickly, Major General Khmelnytsky narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that he had run into an opponent.The opponent's ability to control horses is by no means inferior to the Cossack cavalry, and judging by the number of opponents, it seems that there are more.

"Get ready to attack." Major General Khmelnytsky did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered all the cavalry to prepare, but the opponent did not seem to plan to have a traditional cavalry apology.

With Ma Hongkui's order, the twelve mountain cannons belonging to the artillery battalion of the division were pushed to the front.The horses were untied and sent aside, the artillerymen of the cavalry division were busy, and it took only 2 minutes to set up a simple artillery position.

The Cossack cavalry were puzzled for a while, they didn't know what the other party was going to do.When the draft horses were taken away, revealing the black muzzle behind them, all the Cossack officers were shocked. "Charge." Major General Khmelnytsky knew that he could not allow the opponent to fire, otherwise they would be doomed.

The Cossack cavalry began to urge the horses, hoping to increase to a high enough speed as soon as possible, and at this time the commander of the artillery battalion had already issued an order.The gunners of the cavalry division were skilled enough to load the shrapnel into the barrel and aimed at the dense Cossack cavalry in front.

Chapter 6 Eleven Cavalry Showdown

As the order to fire came, the muzzles of the twelve mountain cannons almost flashed with flames, and the Cossack cavalry heard muffled thunder, and then the artillery shells had penetrated into the cavalry group.The air blast fuze of the shrapnel is very powerful, especially against unprotected cavalry.

Every time a shell exploded, it would clear the surrounding area of ​​more than ten meters. The Cossack cavalry seemed to have been massacred. Countless people and horses were torn apart, and blood immediately stained the grassland.
