Chapter 925 Tsarist Russia Goes South
"The words of you loving ministers are in line with our intentions. If the Great Yu country does not want to become a colony of other countries in a hundred years, it must act from now on and work hard for the rise of the Great Yu country."
In the warm atmosphere of the officials' generosity, Xiao Ming was deeply delighted.
The purpose of the meeting was to arrange the implementation of electricity, but it was also one of his goals to make officials feel the crisis facing the country.
There is no doubt that the "European Threat Theory" he delivered in the courtroom this time was very effective. The officials were all gearing up for it, and they had the urge to compete with the foreign powers.
Feeling this, Xiao Ming plans to let the newspapers introduce the current world situation after the dispersal of the dynasty, show the true strength of the European powers in front of the people of Dayu, and let the people of Dayu have a clear understanding of the current world. So as to unite people's hearts to improve the development efficiency of industry and commerce.
After all, in general, European countries have great potential for war, and they have also got defected students from the Great Yu Kingdom, although these students only have some written theoretical knowledge.
But current Europe already has a technological level close to the mid-to-late 18th century, and if combined with their theories, it may be able to speed up the advancement of technology.
However, even so, he is not too worried. After all, the foundation of the Great Yu Kingdom has been laid. Even if the European technology is relatively improved, the technology of the Great Yu Kingdom will only improve faster.
What's more, as an industrialized country with a large population, he no longer needs to be afraid of Western powers, because it is difficult for one industrial power to completely destroy another industrial power. At this time, the competition between countries is nothing more than the competition for spheres of influence and the formulation of world rules.
"My Emperor Shengming!"
As soon as Xiao Ming's voice fell, the ministers bowed in one uniform and said.
Nodding slightly, Xiao Ming signaled to Qian Dafu. Today's court meeting is over. He has given the overall plan, and now the rest is the issue of implementation.
After leaving the court, Xiao Ming went straight back to the imperial study, and at the same time asked Qian Dafu to call Niu Ben and Luo Quan over.
He had learned of the news of Tsarist Russia's southward expansion long before the court, and it wasn't alarmist to rush to the court to scare the officials.
"Have you figured out the strength of Tsarist Russia in Kanto now?"
After the two arrived, Xiao Ming pointed to Kanto on the map and asked.
The military spying was carried out by the military alone. With the maturity of the military system, the reconnaissance before the battle is gradually separated from the work of the secret guards. After all, the secret guards have many other things to do.
"It's basically clear. For this reason, we almost sacrificed a team of cavalry hunters. If the leader of the cavalry leader was clever, they would have been caught by the Russian Cossatt cavalry." Niu Ben frowned, his expression dignified.
Luo Quan added: "At present, there are more than 700,000 immigrants from Tsarist Russia in the north of Jianzhou and Siberia. These 700,000 people are scattered in seven important castles, namely Tyumen Castle and Tobolsk Castle. , Yakutsk Castle, Okhotsk Fortress, Kamchatka Fort, Yaksa Castle, Nerchinsk Castle, among which Yaksa and Nerchinsk are the closest to the state, and they are also the fortresses with the most garrisoned troops in Tsarist Russia. What is annoying is that Tsarist Russia seems to have tasted the sweetness, and after Jaksa and Nerchinsk, they are preparing the eighth fort Morgan, which is only a hundred miles away from the establishment of the state."
While Luo Quan was speaking, Xiao Ming marked the cities of Tsarist Russia one by one on the map, with red dots extending from Kanto to Siberia.
"More than 700,000 people, this is not a small number, not to mention that the natives of Siberia are now allied with Tsarist Russia, and the total number is more than that, and the Golden Horde has also surrendered to Tsarist Russia, which is even more troublesome. That's it." Xiao Ming said, according to the knowledge of science and technology spar, there are many indigenous people living in Siberia in contemporary times, including Oschak, Nenits, Evenki, Yakutia, Kyrgyzstan, Buryatia, Yukaki Er, Koryak, Kamchatka and other ethnic groups.
But these nations were all annexed by Tsarist Russia one by one.
Now that the war in the south is basically over, Niu Ben and Luo Quan have set their sights on the north. The most important thing is that the train from Qingzhou to Kanto is opened to traffic this year. The transportation of soldiers and supplies will be much easier, so that he can use the Kanto army to defeat Tsarist Russia.
"Although there are more than 700,000 people, the Tsarist Russia's troops in various castles are actually not many. Even the garrison of Nerchinsk and Yaksa is only about three or four thousand in a city, but relatively speaking, their firearms are better than the Japanese country. A lot." Niu Ben continued.
Xiao Ming had a calculus in his heart. For him, the battle with Tsarist Russia was a must.
The reason is very simple. If Siberia is in the hands of the Russians, then the Great Yu Kingdom will always be in a crisis of being attacked on both sides.
However, once the entire Siberia is owned, then the Great Yu country is equivalent to the natural danger of the Arctic Ocean, and the strategic environment will be greatly improved.
"How many troops can be mobilized at present?" Xiao Ming asked. Since he wants to fight, he doesn't need to hesitate. Now that he has firmed his will, it is extremely tempting to go from the Bering Strait to North America.
"After the war in the south, the army stationed 100,000 people in the south in order to eliminate the remaining rebels and guard against the Annan Kingdom in the southwest, and the remaining 60,000 people returned to their respective stations, but immediately another 20,000 people went to the Japanese country to station, so that After all, there are only 40,000 people we can flexibly mobilize." Luo Quan said.
As the chief general of the staff, he is very aware of the current deployment of the troops of the Great Yu Kingdom, although in general, the number of the Great Yu Kingdom's troops is quite large.
However, the number of troops evenly distributed is still not much. After all, Korea, Japan, and even the Southwest are in a state that has not yet been completely stabilized and requires the monitoring of the army.
"Forty thousand people, plus the army in Kanto should be enough." Xiao Ming was a little helpless. The huge army was scattered in pieces after the East and West War, and there was no way to do this, because this was the cost of colonization. price.
Of course, he could have brought these armies together, but with the current level of transportation that would be expensive, so he could only win with minimal cost.
"Enough!" Niu Ben said to himself: "Although Tsarist Russia attaches great importance to Kanto, the Kanto is too far from Tsarist Russia, but it is very close to us, but they lost in logistical transportation."
Luo Quan nodded when he heard the words, agreeing with Niu Ben's statement.
"Since that's the case, show some color to the Tsarist Russians who built the city in Morgan. Now is the time to discuss the ownership of the land with the Tsarist Russia." Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes.
In contemporary times, he can only recall the humiliation of the land being eroded a little bit in history, but now, he can change it with his own hands.
PS: I just came back today, I am exhausted physically and mentally. I have an update in the evening. I will make up for it tomorrow depending on the situation. In addition, I would like to thank everyone for your concern for the little snail princess.
