Fengyun, the clicks are good, but the increase in collections is not optimistic. Bones would like to ask readers who like this book. When you reach this sentence, you can log in to your account and collect this book. This is the greatest support for Bones.
.【】It’s been a stormy week. It’s good to have hundreds of collections recorded in your account. You don’t want your bones to be below the passing line.
However, this is fine. The total strength of the Russian army in the Far East is only three to four thousand, but they have established more than thirty strongholds, large and small. From this, it can be calculated that, except for big cities such as Yaksa, the number of Russian soldiers in other small strongholds is
Approximately how many guards there are.
Am I too conservative? When he thought that there were probably only a few dozen guards in some small Russian strongholds, Zhao Qiang couldn't help but have doubts about his original strategy of steady and step-by-step encroachment. Perhaps he could take further steps.
Bigger. Isn’t there a saying that says how bold a person is and how rich the land is. Now that I have a map in hand and know the distribution of the Russians well, I can definitely give it a go and gather superior forces to clear out all the small Russian strongholds.
In this way, except for those big cities, wouldn’t the entire Far East region be owned by myself?
What is this tactic called? Well, Zhao Qiang Yile, isn't it just what the great man said about surrounding the city with the countryside! Although the Far East can't talk about rural areas, and it can't talk about cities, the essence of using troops is almost the same. Just like felling trees, loggers usually
They all first cut off the branches of the big trees, and then sawed off the trunks. Capturing those small Russian strongholds is like cutting down trees, cutting off their limbs, and then beheading them! After the Russian small strongholds are captured, the Russian army
The situation we are facing is that of "rural areas surrounding cities".
"Where's Nerchinsk?"
Zhao Qiang couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that all the small strongholds of the Russians had been captured by him, and they could only hide in a few big cities and dare not come out. However, he did not see the mark about Nerchinsk on the map, so he couldn't help but feel confused and raised his head.
Ask Duncan what's going on.
"Don't you know, General?"
Duncan looked puzzled and pointed to a place marked by Liu De on the map: "Didn't the general's map mark the city of Nerchinsk? This is where you are!"
Zhao Qiang looked closely and saw that the place Duncan was pointing to was the area near Heilongjiang in the Maoming'an Department of Mongolia that Liu De had marked.
The city of Nerchinsk is in Mongolia's Maoming'an Department? Zhao Qiang was startled for a moment, then turned to Liu De: "Do you know the situation in Mongolia's Maoming'an Department?"
Liu De thought for a moment and shook his head: "Returning to the story of a good man, I know nothing about the situation of the Maoming'an Department. I only know that in the third year of Kangxi's reign, the emperor...Kangxi once issued an edict to incorporate the Maoming'an Department into the banner and confer a first-class title.
Ji and Dorobele, other things are not very clear, but I heard that Maoming'an has lost a lot of water and grassland. It has been migrating continuously in the past few decades, and its strength is much weaker than before. Compared with Horqin and Khalkha
, but it’s not even close.”
After listening to what Liu De said, Duncan also followed up: "Your Excellency General, I once heard the Russians say that they occupied the Nebu Chaohe River and built a city there after driving away the Mongols. Maybe those Mongols
Is it Momei Anbe?”
Zhao Qiang believed that Duncan had not lied to him. Nerchinsk was indeed within the territory of the Mongolian Maoming'an tribe. But in this case, a problem arose, because the position of the Maoming'an tribe on the map was to the west of Heilongjiang, but his current location was
To the north of Heilongjiang, the straight-line distance is probably only two to three hundred miles. With such a long distance, it is no problem to ride a horse and ride with passengers, but it is not a simple matter to lead troops to fight. First of all, the logistics
Supply is a big issue.
Furthermore, there is a Russian governor stationed in Nerchinsk, which to some extent is equivalent to Russia's most important base in the Far East. It must be tightly guarded. This can be seen from the fact that the Treaty of Nerchinsk was signed there a few years later.
How important is its position?
Can he successfully win such an important Russian city? And do he have the strength to win it? Zhao Qiang is a little confused about this. The attraction of the silver mine is huge, but with his current strength, if he wants to
An expedition of hundreds of miles to capture Nerchinsk seems a bit unrealistic. He does not yet have the arrogance. Even if he can capture Nerchinsk in one fell swoop, he will face the situation of directly fighting the Mongolian tribes who are close to the Manchus. To the west
, there are Mongols in the south, Russians in the north, and Russians and Qing troops coexist in the east. To sum up, Nerchinsk is both a treasure land and a disaster place. It can be said to be a real place of four wars.
"Your Majesty General, with all due respect, if you and your army want to gain a foothold in this land, you don't have to rush to attack the big Russian cities. You can..."
Duncan, who was deeply attracted by the wealth, had been watching Zhao Qiang. He had realized that the Tatars in front of him probably had nothing to do with the Qing Dynasty. Judging from the Chinese dialect they used in their conversations, maybe these people were enemies of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Because Duncan has been in the Far East for four years, he has never seen a Qing army dare to attack the Russians in the north. Also, these troops in rags don't seem to be regular troops of the Qing Dynasty. But it doesn't matter, as long as they can give themselves
Just bring wealth. Duncan, who had already decided to bet on this demon army, began to plan for this army in his heart. Of course he thought that the demon general could quickly lead his troops to occupy Nerchinsk and dig there.
silver mine, but he didn’t want the silver dug out to be snatched away by the Russians before it was warmed up. Therefore, he needed to remind this devil general that you’d better pick up the weak ones first and wait until you have enough.
It would not be too late to go to Nerchinsk when we have enough strength to compete with the Russians.
It has been ten years since I came to the East, and I don’t care if I wait a few more years, as long as I don’t be disappointed in the end, Duncan thought. He and his companions had visited most of the Russian strongholds in the name of missionary work, because the faces were the same
, both Catholic and Orthodox religions are Christian, so the Russians are not wary of them, so he knows more about the Russians' true and falsehoods than Zhao Qiang. For him, as long as he takes appropriate measures, he can drive the Russians away
It's not difficult.
"I suggest that you, the general, give up your plan to capture Nerchinsk city because there are many Russian troops there. With all due respect, if the general leads your troops to attack Nerchinsk now, the chance of failure is far greater than that of victory.
"So I think General, you might as well capture some strongholds that are not very well defended by the Russians, such as" Duncan pointed at the map: "Yask on the Jingqili River, Duolunchan at the mouth of the river, Mudan River in Xilin,
There are several strongholds on the Ergun River. As far as I know, the total number of Russians in these strongholds does not exceed 600, so the general can completely defeat them one by one." Finally, Duncan concluded with some envy.
One sentence: "In these strongholds, there is also a huge amount of wealth. If the general wants to arm himself, then they are your best supply stations."
Duncan's suggestion was roughly the same as Zhao Qiang's idea of surrounding the city from the countryside. Therefore, after hearing this, he was somewhat impressed by Duncan. He believed that the missionaries were indeed talented, otherwise they would not have become the pioneers of European colonial rule.
.When it comes to the world’s perspective, it is much better than the current Chinese people.
On the map, the Jingqili River, the Xilin Mudan River, and the Ergunar River are respectively located in Heilongjiang and within the jurisdiction of Shengjing. They are not very far from Yaksa, Nerchinsk, and the Qing army's Aihun City. From a strategic perspective,
Capturing this place will be very beneficial for controlling the lower reaches of Heilongjiang. The most important thing is that it is far away from the actual control line of the Qing army. In later generations, it is the rear area of the Russian army in the Heilongjiang Basin. If Duncan's suggestion is adopted, then Zhao Qiang's troops will
It is equivalent to a certain army that grew up through guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines in later generations. The prospects are very bright, and it is 100% feasible. What is especially important is that Zhao Qiang can use these strongholds to forcibly recruit the surrounding indigenous people, and even organize a special team to kidnap people.
The team continued to develop along the Great Siberian Forest, and continuously sent those savage natives to the front line against the Russian and Qing armies.
"Qianhu, I think this foreigner is right."
Guo Fei expressed his opinion immediately. He believed that the suggestions put forward by Duncan, a foreigner, were very feasible. He knew his own affairs well. Of course, Guo Fei, an officer of the Baihu Camp, understood the military situation in Shouyi City.
"That's it"
Zhao Qiang did not hesitate, so Nerchinsk let it go first. He was about to ask Duncan to give him some specific advice, but Liu De suddenly spoke.
"Good man, as far as I know, the Heilongjiang River is an important place. From the Heilongjiang River, you can go down to the Songhua River, and from the Songhua River to the Nenjiang River. To the south, you can connect to the Kuerhan River and Wula, Ninggu
Ta, Xibei, Horqin, Suolun, Daur and other places; if you go to the Heilongjiang estuary, you can reach the seaside. The Henggun, Niuman and other rivers and the Jingqili River estuary all merge into Heilongjiang, and the surrounding rivers are all connected to Oroqen.
The Qileer, Bilar and other tribes, as well as the Hezhe, Feiyala and other tribes also live here. If a good man takes it, the border people of all ethnic groups will use it for his own use. However, when a villain looks at the soldiers and horses of a good man, it seems that
This is a new project. It would be better if we can take Heilongjiang. If we can't take it, we might as well use the foreigners' opinions and take small strongholds first, such as Jingqili River, Wusuli River, Songhua Nen River and other places. After the good Han people have strong horses and strong horses, we can then fight with Rakshasa.
People or... the Qing army competes with each other."
"At present, there are Rakshasa people in Heilongjiang and Ningguta, and there are several Rakshasa people in the Heilongjiang basin. As the saying goes, if two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. Heroes can stay away from Heilongjiang and wait for the Rakshasa people and the Qing Dynasty.
When the military battle is in full swing, if another surprise attack is launched to defeat it, then the hero's reputation will be known outside the pass. At that time, he can join the Mongolian tribes, or he can go south, advance and retreat, and the hero can be independent, without being forced by others.
"
"From what I saw at that time, after the heroes obtained the territory of the Rakshasa people, there was no need to go to Heilongjiang. It would be of great benefit to the heroes to keep the Rakshasa people to attract the attention of the Qing army."
"Um?"
After listening to Liu De's words, Zhao Qiang couldn't help but be stunned: He didn't come out. Is this guy familiar with the Three Kingdoms? Can he read such strategic vision? The ancients said that if you memorize 300 Tang poems, you can copy them even if you don't know how to compose them.
, but this guy learned from the Three Kingdoms to guide the country?
