(It's another seven thousand words updated. I've been trying my best. I have something to do today and I don't start typing at 8 o'clock...)

Kutuzov's face was not good-looking. After all, it was a plan he made himself, but at this time it was a missed. Most of the responsibilities would fall on him. If Zakhrev wanted to shirk responsibility, it would have a great impact on his future.

He looked for a while and sighed: "It seems that we have to shorten the time to fifteen minutes. The combat effectiveness evaluation of those Jurchens needs to be taken to a higher level."

Fortunately, Zahrev was not that shallow person. He knew that this was not Kutuzov's fault, it was caused by insufficient intelligence, and it was also his approval. If he was furious at this moment, he would undoubtedly be slapping himself in the face. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "What I worry more is that Pushkin is gone."

At this time, Bukharin strode over and said, "Governor General, you have not seen the body of Lord Pushkin. The escaped Cossacks said that they were taken away by the Jurchens."

"Take it away?" Zakhrev and Kutuzov looked at each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief. After all, if Pushkin died here, it would mean that they offended the Minister of the Army! And now, although Pushkin was captured by the Jurchens, those Jurchens must have seen his value and would not be killed casually.

Zakhrev glanced at it and suddenly gave an order: "Hang all the escaped Cossacks, if you are defeated and fled, they should all be sent to the gallows!"

A trace of clarity flashed in Kutuzov's eyes. This failure is needed. The best choice now is to treat it as not a trap, but an accident.

In this way, the escaped Cossacks can only be sacrificed.

Soon, the Cossack cavalry were escorted back, just where their robes were everywhere. The soldiers quickly nailed several gallows with trees, and then the poor guys were put into the rope trap. They struggled hard and cursed loudly. They absolutely did not expect that they did not die in the hands of the terrible devil, but died on their gallows.

Resistance is powerless after all. As the rope tightens, the angry scolding of several guys gradually disappears.

Bukharin carefully observed Zakhrev's face and asked, "Governor General, should you send someone to chase him?"

Zakhrev didn't speak with a blue face. Since the southern expedition, what happened completely did not match what he imagined. After coming here, he felt a very strong feeling of being restrained, and seemed to be unable to do anything. He could not use it no matter how hard he did it, and it was completely powerless.

This feeling made him extremely angry.

Kutuzov, who was on the other side, saw that Bukharin was a little embarrassed, so he rescued and said, "Send a thousand Cossacks to chase after him!"

Bukharin looked at Zahrev, and saw that he had no objection, he excitedly ordered a thousand Cossack cavalry and led the team in person. The young man's achievements were very prosperous, which was also human nature. As for these bloody corpses everywhere, they did not feel much fear in his heart. In the eyes of the young and confident Bukharin, the reason why these people were defeated was just caught off guard.

Kutuzov smiled and looked at Bukharin's banyan back, and suddenly a hint of emotion arose in his heart.

Didn’t I lose one eye in Shuma Village when I was so confident and reckless?

As he expected, within an hour, Bukharin returned with a group of Cossacks. After crossing three rivers, crossing a low mountain and bypassing several vast black pine forests, they completely lost their traces of their enemies.

Comparing with the natives on this land to understand this place is undoubtedly a stupid act.

It is one hundred and thirty miles southeast of the current Russian army. It is the middle section of the river. The river is gentle and wide. On both sides of the river, there are large patches of dense forests. A tributary flows from northwest to southeast into the Tuhan River, forming a large river bay with a considerable area. On both sides of the river bay, there is a vast grassland.

On the west bank of this tributary, hundreds of tents stand tall like mushrooms.

This is the base of the army led by Wanyan Yeping.

The large area of ​​jungle is provided with natural protection. If you are not familiar with this place, you cannot see this camp through the dense black forest even if you are close to it. For Russians, jungle is an insurmountable barrier, but Jurchens, who are familiar with this place like their own backyard, know many secret passages in the black forest.

The sound of horse hooves came, and Wanyan Yeping led the kidnapped horse to the front, behind which was a large number of light cavalry, slowly appeared on the edge of the grass through secret passages.

Hearing the movement, the camp, which was originally very quiet, immediately boiled. Thousands of Jurchen soldiers rushed out of the tent, many of them were seriously injured and disabled with crutches. Wanyan Yeping saw them, and smiled from the bottom of her heart. She took off her bag and raised the double hammers in her hand high.

When he saw Wanyan Yeping's iconic weapon, the worry in the hearts of the Jurchen soldiers disappeared and they all cheered loudly.

In their opinion, wherever the general is there, there will be victory.

Their mood was not like this, but when the Beishan defense line was broken, Wanyan Yeping not only did not retreat all the way, but instead launched a counterattack, using successive victories to regain their confidence - in the era of cold weapons, the combat effectiveness of an army was at least 40% famous for its morale.

At this time, the morale of the Jurchens was obviously very high.

The soldiers who accompanied Wanyan Yeping to the war also showed sincere smiles, with a relaxed look on their faces, and accepted the cheers of the soldiers in the camp like heroes.

Surrounded by everyone, walking into the camp, looking at the cheering soldiers, a dimness that was not easy to detect flashed in Wanyan Yeping's eyes, and she soon covered it up again.

After getting off the horse and entering the big tent. After asking several left-behind officers, Wanyan Yeping was still disappointed. There was no movement in the Tuluting Mountain yet, and the messengers asking for help were like stones sinking into the sea. This news also made Wanyan Yeping's originally good mood immediately worse. She ordered the casualties to count, and then took Pushkin's master and servant down, and then entered the back tent herself.

As soon as she entered the tent, the smile on Wanyan Yeping's face disappeared. She sighed, and a deep feeling of fatigue appeared in her eyes.

Therefore, in the history of the Jurchens, Tuluting Mountain had a very high status. After the monk Wanyan Chen unified the Jurchens and successfully left the Ming Dynasty, he set the Khanate on the eastern foot of Tuluting Mountain.

Choosing here has great practical significance.

The three surnames of Jurchens are the southernmost of the Haixi Jurchens. Facing the Ming Dynasty, the northernmost of the Jurchens in the North Mountains, looking up at Russia, but the only one of the Jianzhou Jurchens is in the middle, with no worries between the north and the south. However, there are a large number of Mongolian tribes and other ethnic groups in the West. These tribes have been obeying the rule of the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years after the rise of the Jurchens, and have followed the Ming Dynasty's organization, the Tumuhewei, and fought several battles with the Jurchens from time to time, which also brought great trouble to the Jianzhou Jurchens.

Relying on the steep Tuluting Mountain, those tribes were blocked from the Jurchens, so they could not cause any major problems.

Moreover, the eastern foot of Tuluting Mountain goes east to the Gelinwei hundreds of miles away, which is a huge and vast plain. The plain is fertile, with vegetation and dense river networks. Even in the northeast, it is a rare and rich place.

The Jianzhou Jurchens grazed on this land.

Compared with the Haixi Jurchens, the Jianzhou Jurchens have gradually transformed into semi-fishing and hunting. Compared with the semi-farming, the Jianzhou Jurchens were less affected by the Han people and maintained the lifestyle of their ancestors more. Their lifestyles are a bit similar to those of the Mongols, but they are not the same. It can be said that they are half grazing and half fishing and hunting. The large grassland at the foot of Tuluting Mountain naturally became a Feng Shui treasure land given to them by God.

After decades of reproduction and growth, the number of people from Jianzhou Jurchens has increased to about 600,000. They divide their respective pastures in the form of tribes and live scattered on the vast grasslands from Tuluting Mountain to Gelinwei.

And the Jurchen Khan was at the foot of Tuluting Mountain.

This place is different from other Jurchen tribes. The Jurchen Khan is a small but majestic city!

The reason why it is said to be small is that the area of ​​this city is indeed not large. It is only four miles long from east to west, and only three miles wide from north to south. This size, not to mention that it is a small county town in Daming Pass, not to mention that it is compared with a large port such as Beijing and Nanjing, even a small county town within Daming Pass is much larger.

The reason why it is said to be very majestic is that although the city is small, the buildings inside are all extremely majestic and magnificent. The walls of the Jurchen Khanate are dozens of meters high and very high and thick. They are all made of stone mined on Tuluting Mountain. Of course, they also have hardness matching its material.

Within the city walls are mansions next to each other, with pavilions and towers stretching out from a distance. I don’t know how many of them are. The streets inside are paved with large bluestone, clean and tidy, with few pedestrians on it, but luxuriously decorated carriages often drive past. The streets here are obviously very strict, and many cavalry patrol teams.

There are no low, dirty, or simple existences here, and some are just glamorous, just like a huge group of palaces.

The reason is also very simple. There are no civilians or even low-level officials living in the city of the Jurchen Khan. Those who are qualified to have a place here are all powerful people among the Jurchen tribes - not only the Jianzhou Jurchen tribes, for example, Gangyi has a luxurious house here, and he spends half a year here every year.

So the mansions of the powerful are everywhere here, and there are no other buildings here except the mansions of the powerful.

There is a barracks in the four corners of the city. The four barracks are stationed in Guzima, Tiefutu, 30,000 elite cavalry and 30,000 elite infantry. It is said that they are military camps, but in fact they are four small fortresses, each with a radius of about one mile, like stars lying against the moon, guarding the Jurchen Khan in it. Putting aside these elite troops, these fortresses alone are enough to discourage the enemy trying to attack the city.

Apart from several fortresses, the vast open space on the west bank of the Man River is a group of low houses. The living components and complexities are Han merchants, Jurchen herdsmen, many farmers and their large areas of arable land. In addition, there are many military families and families of wealthy slaves. In short, the meaning of their existence is to serve the big men in the city. After all, the rich people have to consume more resources.

The Jurchen Khan faced north and south, meaning the south. A great avenue ran straight through the south gate. In the center of this avenue, a vast square stood a huge and majestic building.

This is the palace of the Jurchen Khan Wanyan Chen.

Although it has only been a country that has been established for more than 30 years and can be defined as a regional regime based on its jurisdiction, this does not prevent the high-level rulers from mobilizing the already insufficient national resources to serve themselves - this magnificent palace is a clear proof. The entire palace occupies a quarter of the city's area, with carved beams and painted buildings and towering. In terms of delicate and gracefulness, it is naturally not as good as the Han palace, but it is not inferior to the scale and majesty.

At least half of the hundreds of thousands of Han people who were captured and become slaves after the rise of the Jurchens died on the construction site of this palace.

The center of the palace is a Qinzheng Hall built in the Forbidden City Fengtian Hall, which is no less than the Taihe Hall. Moreover, the height of the palace appearance is added to five floors - which makes it look a bit like the Qin and Han Dynasties.

At this time, in the Qinzheng Hall, it was no longer as serious and solemn as before, but was like a vegetable market, noisy.

The structure inside the hall is similar to that of the Fengtian Hall. Four thick pillars wrapped in gold foil, with two people hugging each other in the middle is a five-story imperial platform, with a huge, hard and cold dragon chaise on it. The slightly different is that there are many chairs placed face to face on the left and right sides below the imperial platform.

At this time, more than a dozen Jurchen powerful men were sitting on chairs. They were wearing luxurious traditional Jurchen clothes, arguing endlessly.

They argued loudly, and some talked about the urgent situation. They even had red faces and thick necks, and the blue veins on their foreheads were shiny one by one. And they were not a pointless argument. From their faces, they could see anger, fear, unconcealed panic, and some people even had despair madness in their eyes.

Although it was not stagnant, the atmosphere in the hall inexplicably made the people in it rush into fear, panic, and despair.

It seems like the court before the end of the world.

They could not help but panic or fear. Five days ago, these Jurchen powerful people who held great power would never have dreamed that they would be so soon. The Jurchens would fall into a desperate situation of entanglement and death!

Five days ago, General Wanyan Yeping, who was guarding the northern part of Zhaowu Yun, sent an emergency military report, saying that the 200,000 Russian troops had already broken through the Beishan defense line, and then conquered the capital of the Beishan Jurchen tribe. After a big plunder, he is now heading towards Tuluting Mountain. It seems that he is coming straight to the Jurchen Khan.

This news shocked all the Jurchens.

The Jurchens and Russia have been confrontation for several years, and small-scale frictions on the border between the two sides have never stopped, but the Jurchen nobles, who have been in peace for a long time, did not expect that the war would come so soon.

After a brief panic, I naturally discussed it, but until today, five days passed, and I didn’t discuss it.

All these Jurchen powerful people do in these five days is quarrel, quarrel, quarrel!

The reason why this situation is inseparable from the Jurchen power composition. For a regime that has not been a long time since the evolution from tribal civilization to feudal civilization, the power context within is very messy and complicated, and it can be said to be crisscrossed. These Jurchen powerful people were the elders in the tribe, and the heads were even directly powerful figures such as chiefs. Now after the founding of the Jurchen country, they also hold high positions and hold military power regimes. It can be said that the Jurchen army was not only owned by Monk Wanyan Chen, but a considerable number of them were the private armies of these powerful people.

Since the front line is in a tight position, we have to dispatch troops, but how many troops will be dispatched? Who will dispatch the commander? Who will be responsible for the benefits? Who will compensate me if the person is killed and his strength is lost?

All kinds of complex things, the clash of power, and the blackmail exchange of interests, are absolutely impossible to understand in just five days.

So Wanyan Yeping on the front line had to wait. In fact, if she had more experience in politics, she should know how much these people were counting on.

The Jurchens are no longer the Jurchens who worked together and were incited by the beautiful prospects portrayed by Monk Wanyan Chen, who were almost crazy about the entire clan. Thirty years of luxury enjoyment have long made these Jurchens lose their enterprising spirit. What they care about now is their own power.

They are not unaware that the front line is tight, and the reason why they can still argue unscrupulously in this situation is that they are confident in themselves. Although the Russian army is 200,000, our Jurchens are not weak! Not to mention anything else, the Khanate has an army of 60,000, and it is not even considered a caid horse and Tiefutu, which is worth 100,000 people! There are 50,000 troops stationed in various places in the heart of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, not to mention the order of the Khan, and the Jurchens can be immediately pulled up. The Jurchens are born on the horse's back, and they are born warriors!

Between Tuluting Mountain and the Russian army, there are hundreds of Jurchen tribes. After receiving the orders from Khan, these tribes will immediately become brave warriors!

And if you take a step back, what's wrong? Isn't there a 100,000 army in the Haixi Jurchens? I heard that Gangyi took his army to the Ming Dynasty to fight Qiu Feng'er a while ago. Calculate the day and it's almost time to come back! Isn't it enough to call him back?

In short, these Jurchen powerful people felt that they had enough trump cards in their hands, so they could sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

But the news that came this morning made them all unable to sit still. After hearing this news, they could even feel the despair in their hearts!

People who escaped from the Haixi Jurchens arrived at the Khanate in batches and burst into tears when they saw them. From their mouths, the Jurchens who had realized it later realized that at some point, a strong army had already risen in the Ming Dynasty in the south. This strong army called the Wuyi Army actually used some methods to break into the hinterland of the Haixi Jurchens when Gangyi besieged them.

Many of them have heard of Wu Yijun, but they have never taken it seriously! Unexpectedly, they have grown into a major concern now.

When they received the news, the hinterland of the Haixi Jurchens was swept away. I don’t know how many Jurchens were killed, and even Yehe City was conquered.

How many people who were older and came from the Haixi Jurchens fainted immediately.

The Jurchen powerful people who were still quarreling before were almost all stupid.

They were all savages and all knew clearly what this news represented - if the news was true, it was obviously impossible to be fake, because the number of Haixi Jurchens who poured into the Khanate had reached hundreds, and some of them had high and powerful people who escaped, and their words were still very important.

The Haixi Jurchens were scattered, and the strong army was still unknown. I don’t think the situation would be very good. This means that not only did the entire Jurchens lose a solid rear and a hundred thousand troops, but they would even be attacked by the Wuyi Army. Moreover, judging from the Wuyi Army’s posture, this situation is very likely to occur!

How many people are there in the Wuyi army? There are tens of thousands of people who can sweep across the Haixi Jurchens?

This time, the situation immediately reversed, from advancing, attacking, retreating, and defending to wolves in front and tigers in the back.

Some of the more far-reaching thoughts were already thinking, would the Wu Yi army collude with the Russians?

In fact, the time when the Jurchen Khan received the news was later than Lian Zining expected. The reason was that after Yang Husheng and others arrived at Baiying Gorge, in order to win more time, they kept sending cavalry to intercept Jurchens who went north until they felt that it was almost done, so they let them go in large quantities.

This has invisibly helped the Russians a lot of help.

The unintentional behavior of Yang Husheng and others directly led to the delay of the troops sent by the Jurchen powerful men to the northern defense line, and also caused the Russian army to be stubbornly sniped by Wanyan Yeping alone.

Shortly after getting the news, these powerful people were invited by the Khan to discuss matters.

Monk Wanyan Chen stood high on the throne, looking at these quarrels without expression.

He is tall, has wide shoulders, is burly and full of strength. However, if you describe him as a majestic, it was when he was young rather than now. Now, it is more practical to describe him as a fat person.!~!
