Chapter 839: Western Expedition (Seventeen)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Grand Duke Miloslavsky used his actual actions to well explain what "a collapse of a thousand miles" means. After crossing the Irtysh River, he fled to Tyumen County in the Tobolsk Warlord District; and the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Ruodeng, the king of Hebei, also used his actual actions to interpret another word well: "Pursue pursuit, he almost chased Grand Duke Miloslavsky's ass, even to Semibalashesk, Omsk,

Approaching Tyumen.

The city of Tyumen was built in 1586. It was the old base of Tsarist Russia in Siberia. It was built when Tsarist Russia conquered the Siberian Khanate. It was the largest city in Tsarist Russia east of the Ural River and was home to a large number of Russian immigrants.

.In later generations, this place became the "oil capital" of Russia.

My throat was so thirsty that it was smoking, the wounds on my body were still aching, and the blood-soaked armor kept dripping blood onto the ground.

He kept running away, causing the arrow wound on Grand Duke Miloslavsky's left arm to burst open. He ignored this, licked his dry lips, and ordered: "Quick, go west, quickly retreat to the Ural Mountains, and fight with

General Morozov meets”.

Tsar Alexei was a mature and prudent man who thought about retreat before he thought about progress. While he ordered Grand Duke Miloslavsky to rush to Siberia, he also ordered his teacher, Assistant Minister Morozov, to lead 1,500 new soldiers.

The regiment and 8,000 shooting troops were stationed in the Ural Mountains to prevent the Ming army from jumping over the Ural Mountains and threatening Moscow in case of defeat.

Now it seems that it is a clever move! The Ural Mountains, stretching from the coast of the Kara Sea of ​​the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Ural River Valley in the south, stretch for more than 5,000 miles. They are the boundary mountain range between Europe and Asia, separating the Eastern European plains from the Western Siberian plains.

It is also the watershed between the Volga and Ural river basins and the Ob river basin.

"No, Grand Duke, the whole area around Tyumen is our Russian people, and the city is strong. We can recruit troops here to fend off the Ming army. If we abandon this city and flee to the west, I am afraid that the land east of the Ural Mountains will be owned by non-states." Tobol

The warlord of Skok, Shcherbatov, urged him.

Helplessly, Miloslavsky was frightened by the Ming army and insisted on withdrawing west to the Ural Mountains to join Morozov. He was the father-in-law of the Tsar. His daughter Maria and Tsar Alexei were deeply in love, and they had the eldest son of the emperor, Felix.

Dole, even if he suffers a defeat, he will not be severely punished. But if he fights again with the Ming army, the Ming army will not be merciful because he is the father-in-law of the Tsar, and life or death will not be determined.

Seeing that the Grand Duke did not listen to his advice, Shcherbatov said angrily: "You are an important minister of the imperial court and should return to the imperial court, but I am the governor of Tobolsk and should die in Tobolsk."

The two broke up on bad terms. In the end, Grand Duke Miloslavsky and Kabelov led 2,500 defeated troops to retreat westward to the Ural Mountains to join Morozov. Shcherbatov stayed in Tyumen County to recruit troops.

Just after recruiting 1,500 Russian civilians into the army, the pursuers arrived.

The majestic sun and moon flag fluttered in the wind, and a mighty army of more than 10,000 surrounded Tyumen City.

Looking at the densely packed enemies outside the city, Shcherbatov smiled bitterly. After Miloslavsky withdrew to the Ural Mountains, he only had 1,500 defeated soldiers left in his hands. Even if he recruited another 1,500 Russian civilians,

, with a mere 3,000 people, resisting more than 10,000 elite Ming troops, this is an almost impossible task.

Several cavalry flew over, and sitting on the horse were soldiers surrendering from Tsarist Russia. They shouted in Russian: "General Pingxi has a military order, those who surrender will be spared death; General Pingxi has a military order, those who surrender will be spared death; General Pingxi has a military order, those who surrender will be spared death; General Pingxi has a military order, those who surrender will be spared death.

??"

"Warriors, eighty years ago, our ancestors conquered the barbaric Siberian Khanate and built this beautiful castle. For eighty years, our relatives have lived here and our children have played here. This is our land

, no one can take it away. I ask you to fight bloody for the motherland, for the land, and for your loved ones! Ula!" Shcherbatov roared loudly to boost morale.

"Ula!"

"Ula!"

"Ula!"

Impressed by his speech, the city resounded with a "Urah" sound.

But the outcome of the war will not change just because the cry is louder. In the face of absolute strength, any resistance is in vain.

"How dare some defeated soldiers stand in the way of Gu's army! Damn it! Send the order, this city must be taken today." Zhu Ruodeng issued the military order coldly. He wanted to teach the stubborn resisters a lesson.

The rumbling sound of artillery resounded throughout the world, and the deafening sound of fighting came and went quickly. Under the violent attack of the Ming army, Tyumen County only held out for one day before falling. Shcherbatov died on the city wall.

.

Zhu Ruodeng obtained a large amount of food and baggage in Tyumen County. After a day's rest, he sent Ma Xin's troops north to capture Tobolsk Fort.

After the Ma Xin Department arrived at Tobolsk Fort, the defenders and the Russian people in the city had already fled to the Ural Mountains. The Kazakhs and Tatars who stayed in the city opened the city gates and ate pots of pulp to welcome the king.

Division. All of them had smiles on their faces. Although most of these smiles were forced out of fear of retaliation from the Ming army, they also made Ma Xin's march look like a journey.<

"General, Sun Kewang, the Secretary of the Concierge Court, is here." Zhu Ruodeng was handling official business in Tyumen City, and his subordinates came to report.

Sun Kewang, the official minister, has traveled thousands of miles to come here, and he must have the mission of the emperor.

Zhu Ruodeng did not dare to neglect and went out to greet him personally, "Oh, Mr. Sun has traveled thousands of miles to come here. Thank you for your hard work!"

"How dare you? It's really hard for the generals and soldiers to fight for the country." Sun Kewang is also a man of talent, and he praised the soldiers of the Western Expedition Army well.

After explaining his purpose, it turned out that he was here to negotiate with the Rakshasa people on the order of Emperor Guangwu. The war has been going on so far, and it seems that the Rakshasa people have been defeated thousands of miles away, but in fact, the Ming Dynasty itself cannot fight anymore. If it continues to fight, the financial situation will be

will collapse. The bottom line Zhu Hengjia drew for Sun Kewang in the negotiations was: the two sides use the Ural Mountains as the boundary. Except for territorial issues, all other issues can be discussed.

The Ming Dynasty can no longer fight, and Tsarist Russia can no longer fight it. Their finances have collapsed to the point where Tsar Alexei wants to borrow money, and no country in Europe dares to lend him money. Otherwise, Tsarist Russia will not be able to return it.

Starting from the beginning, Tsar Alexei appointed his teacher Morozov as the negotiation ambassador, and the bottom line he drew was: use the Ural Mountains as the boundary to strive for as much benefit as possible.

Since both sides intend to use the Ural Mountains as the boundary, the negotiation should go smoothly. Not so, this is still a difficult negotiation.

No one is willing to reveal their trump card easily. In order to force Tsarist Russia to agree to use the Ural Mountains as the boundary, the Ming army jumped over the Ural Mountains many times and attacked several Rakshasa strongholds in the west of the mountain; in order to force the Ming Dynasty to agree to use the Ural Mountains as the boundary.

, the Tsarist Russian army jumped over the Ural Mountains many times and attacked several Ming army camps on the east side of Shandong. After more than a dozen Tai Chi games, we finally reached an agreement on the territorial issue: both sides agreed to use the Ural Mountains as the border between the two countries.

.

Then, the two sides reached an agreement on the issue of prisoners of war: to release the prisoners of war unconditionally and leave them to their own devices. This was more beneficial to Tsarist Russia. After all, the Ming army captured far more prisoners of war than Tsarist Russia.

Feeling that they had suffered a loss on the issue of prisoners, the Ming Dynasty wanted to make amends with etiquette and asked Tsarist Russia to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Tsar Alexei flatly refused. How could this be done? I have already lost my land, and I cannot lose my face as well.

When we couldn't agree, Sun Kewang suggested not to become ministers, but to form an alliance between father and son, with Ming Dynasty as the father and Tsarist Russia as the son. The Tsar again refused: I have my own father, why should I have another father? He also suggested changing the alliance between uncle and nephew.

Ming Dynasty was his uncle and Tsarist Russia was his nephew, but he still refused: he was too senior. After much discussion, the two parties finally agreed to form a brotherly alliance, with Ming Dynasty as the brother and Tsarist Russia as the younger brother.

"The Chronicles of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty": "On the first day of July in the fourteenth year of Guangwu, Sun Kewang signed the "Tyumen Treaty" with the Oros Kingdom, agreeing to form a brotherly alliance with the Ural Mountains as the boundary.
