The imperial minister and envoy to the East, who just celebrated his fortieth birthday yesterday, is angrily writing an official letter from Nerchinsk Governor Golo, who is loyal to Tsar Peter I. The official letter was sent from Moscow, and the sender
Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia is the regent who administers state power on behalf of the Tsar.
"...Dear Lord Chancellor, after you arrived in the East, the territory of the Russian Empire was occupied by aliens, and the people of His Majesty the Tsar were brutally slaughtered by the indigenous people in the East. However, as the highest and full commander of our country in the East, you sat back and did nothing.
In view of this, as the regent who exercises state affairs on behalf of the young Tsar, may I think that you have failed to fulfill your duties as a minister?"
Sophia's tone was very kind, and she even used the rare word "respect" to address Golo. This was a word that Golo had never enjoyed before, but the dissatisfaction and sarcasm she revealed between the lines made Golo very angry. He was very angry.
I know that this woman who has always regarded herself as an eyesore is going to deal with me.
"This woman doesn't care about power. She never thinks seriously. She only listens to flatterers who sing praises of virtue, instead of putting herself in the shoes of the ministers!"
The Governor's confidant, the loyal Cossack officer Dhruv, understood and sympathized with the Governor's anger, but he had to fulfill the duty of a loyal subordinate, which was to remind the Governor what should be done most now.
"My Lord Governor, Princess Sophia has always been dissatisfied with you. From my point of view, we should send troops to wipe out the Qing native Guan Ning Army as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Her Royal Highness the Princess cannot wait to withdraw you to Moscow, it will be difficult for the Governor to clean up the Qing Dynasty."
The crime on my body."
Goluoyu threw the father-in-law to the table angrily and shook his head at Dhruv: "No, no matter how violent the Qing natives are, they are just a bunch of natives. They are not our real enemies at all."
"What do you mean, Lord Governor?" Dhruv was confused. Now the Qing natives who call themselves Guan Ning Army have occupied almost half of their eastern territory. It is what these natives have done that makes the Qing natives far away in Moscow
Princess Sophia was dissatisfied and issued such a merciless letter, but now the Governor said that the natives were not the real enemies of the empire, so besides them, who was the real enemy?
Goro did not immediately answer Dhruv's question, but cast his eyes directly on the map on the table, staring closely at Yaksa drawn in a red circle. Under Dhruv's confused eyes, he said calmly: "
Tolbuzin sent people back with information that a large number of Qing troops were gathering in the lower reaches of Heilongjiang. If I guessed correctly, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty could not wait to declare war on us."
"Sir, are you saying that the Qing Emperor in Beijing sent a large army to attack us?" This news made Dhruv open his mouth, a little unbelievable, because it has been more than forty years since the Russians came to the East. In these decades,
There has never been a large-scale deployment of troops to the east by the Qing troops.
"Yes, what Tolbuzin is facing is the army sent by the Qing Emperor to the east." Goro turned around decisively and said to Dhruv with a serious face: "So our real enemy has arrived, and we can only defeat it.
Only with the imperial guards of the Qing Dynasty can we feel at ease in the East. As for the Guan Ning Army, which is composed of indigenous people, it is just like an ant biting us. No matter how fierce it bites, it will not hurt our fur.
But the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty's Imperial Guard is a ferocious tiger, but if we don't pay attention, it can bite off a large piece of our flesh like a wolf!"
Andrei, who had been standing there silently, suddenly walked over to this side after hearing the analysis of the Governor-General, and then said with some worry: "Your Excellency, Governor-General, if what appears in front of Tolbuzin is really the Qing Emperor's imperial army,
, then they must be the most elite army that the Qing emperor can send to the east, while Tolbuzin only has a few hundred musketeers. Once the Qing team successfully pulls out our small strongholds in Yaksa and the lower reaches, they will then besiege Yaksa with heavy troops.
, we have no way to go for reinforcements, and with Tolbuzin's strength, we will never be able to defend Yaksa. Once Yaksa falls, the Qing team will take advantage of the situation to attack Nerchinsk. At that time, we will no longer be able to defend Yaksa.
Itβs a fortress blocking the Qing army.β
Andre's words shocked Dhruv. Yes, if Tolbuzin is finished, as long as the Qing people are not fools, their next target will definitely be Nerchinsk. Once the Qing team arrives at Nerchinsk, we will
Can they successfully defend this empire's largest city in the east? If they fail to defend it, the consequences will be terrible. Thinking of the threatening letter Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia just sent to the Governor, Dhruv couldn't help but
He subconsciously shrank his neck.
"No, no, no!" Unexpectedly, Goro was not worried about Andre's calculation at all. Instead, he smiled at them confidently: "The Qing people will not take Yaksa so smoothly. I believe Thomas
Erbujin, he will definitely succeed in holding back the Qing people!"
"What if Tolbuzin can't stop the Qing troops?" Andrei is not as optimistic as the Governor. Although Tolbuzin is a bandit who is really good at fighting, this time he is not facing bare hands or a ragtag group of natives.
Instead of men and horses, it was the most elite army from the ancient Eastern Empire. Under the attack of such an army, what could Tolbuzin do to defend Yaksa?
"If Yaksa really falls, we should be afraid, because we still have a powerful ally that is staring at the Qing people." Goluo's face still maintains his unique charming aristocratic smile. It is said that
His smiling face captivated many young girls in Moscow when he was young. Oh, yes, even though they are no longer young, there are still many ladies who are attracted by the Governor-General's charming smile. Isn't it? Otherwise, those who often
What are the ladies who come in and out of the Governor's house in Moscow doing? Dhruv's face showed a knowing smile.
"A powerful alliance?" Andre didn't know where the Governor-General's powerful alliance was, and why they made the Governor-General so confident.
"Here!" Goro's right index finger pointed at the map, indicating to Andre himself. The latter poked his head in confusion and exclaimed in surprise: "Zhungar people?!"
