Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Page 1128

Believe me, if we go to war with the Ming Empire, there will be many nobles who can't help but surrender or stand on their own, and the blow to the empire will be so heavy that it cannot be added. "

Mikhailovich sighed and said: "I know what you said, but the current form is like this, there is no way to turn back.

Theoretically speaking, the center of gravity of the empire must be Europe, even if the Far East is abandoned for this, it doesn't matter.

But in fact, the center of gravity of the empire is Europe and the Far East, and there is no way to give up on either part.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the empire is willing to give up the Far East now, can it really just let it go?What if the European strategy fails?

Don't forget, the Ming Empire has now intervened in the whole of Europe, otherwise those damn Poles would not have invited us to enter Europe. Once the European strategy fails and the empire abandons the Far East, what will we do then?

Therefore, the Far East must compete with the Ming Empire, even if it temporarily abandons the European strategy, it must continue to compete with the Ming Empire until the Ming Empire abandons the Far East. "

Nikon nodded first, then shook his head: "Over the years, you should have seen the style of the Ming Empire. When did they give up so easily?"

Mikhailovich forced a wry smile on his face: "Give up? They never gave up their desire for land even when the two fronts were at war, and it is even more impossible for them to give up now.

Sometimes I can't figure it out, why do they need so much land?I heard that after they occupied the mainland on the other side of the Bering Strait, they left it there and left it there, and now they want to occupy our land again? "

Nikon said: "Who knows about them? According to their current strength, the land area has far exceeded their population's demand for land. Who knows what they are thinking?"

Mikhailovich said: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Anyway, now that you have faced them directly, it's better to compete with them."

Nikon, who was about to be persuaded by Mikhailovich, nodded and said, "So, what about Europe? What about Poland? Do you want to notify them?"

Mikhailovich said: "Tsarist Russia and Poland have never been good brothers, and it has not been a day or two since they have coveted Tsarist Russia, and now they invite us to Europe because of the chaos in Europe.

Besides, we just promised them to send troops to Europe, now we want to confront the Ming Empire head-on, how can we care about them?

Send people to support them later, and they can do whatever they want, as long as they don't let us back down, we can give them some support secretly. "

Nikon nodded and said, "Those materials that have been transported to the border, and the army?"

Mikhailovich said: "Except for the defensive ones, all the rest of the army will be brought back, let them go to the Far East battlefield, and start recruiting soldiers at the same time.

As for those supplies, of course, they are the same as the soldiers, except for leaving a part for the defenders, and the rest are transferred to the Far East battlefield. It is very likely that those damn Poles will be cheaper if they stay there. "

After finishing speaking, Mikhailovich stood up again, bowed to Nikon and said, "Please, the recruitment of soldiers this time still needs the support of the church!"

Nikon also got up and said seriously: "Please rest assured the Tsar, the Church will not hold back Tsarist Russia at this time anyway!"

This sentence comes from the sincerity of Nikon.

The world is only that big, and no matter how slow the speed of information transmission is, several years is enough to pass it around the world. The Orthodox Church headed by Nikon certainly knows how Ming treats the Holy See.

The current Orthodox Church in Czarist Russia under the rule of Mikhailovich who believed in the Orthodox Church is not bad, not to mention prosperous. If it falls into the hands of the Ming Empire, I am afraid that only Mr. Hua or Ye Never know what it's going to be like.

So Nikon supports Mikhailovich from the bottom of his heart, and he has indeed made up his mind. This time, no matter who is opposed by the Orthodox Church, he must suppress it and give Mikhailovich as much as possible. Odd creates a stable rear.

Yet things never go as best as one might imagine.

After Nikon left, Mikhailovich ordered people to prepare a call-up order, intending to recruit men of the right age who met the requirements into the army to fight against the Ming Empire.

To the dismay of Mikhailovich and the entire Czarist Russian military, however, few responded.

There are no idiots in the upper echelon, and how can there be any idiots in the ordinary people?

It's not that the civilians of Tsarist Russia have never heard of the style of the Ming Empire, and they are naturally aware of the reputation of the Ming Empire. Now they are going to fight the Ming Empire?

Sorry, not interested.

Not only did a large number of civilians start to flee, but even some nobles in Moscow began to panic. After all, no one is really not afraid of death, and everyone is afraid that Tsarist Russia and the Ming Empire will really face each other.

What made Mikhailovich and Nikon want to vomit blood even more was the troops who were about to be transferred back.

At the beginning, those troops didn't know that they were going back to fight the Ming Empire directly, and they were secretly happy that they didn't have to go to Poland to fight the Holy Roman Empire.

But when these troops knew that the transfer back was to directly fight the Ming Empire, everyone lost interest immediately.

The speed of the army's backward mobilization was able to maintain the normal speed at the beginning, but then deserters began to appear continuously, and even deserters with an established system began to appear later.

The only army that had no deserters, and even the army that was able to maintain a normal marching speed, was probably only the main force of the Cossacks led by Khmelnytsky, a full ten regular cavalry regiments.

The Cossack army is very powerful, which is a fact recognized by the whole of Europe and Tsarist Russia, just like what Napoleon said - if there are Cossack cavalry in my army, I will use them to sweep the whole world.

Similarly, the Cossack army does not have any military discipline. While plundering and killing the enemy, it will also plunder the civilians on its own side, use everything that can be used, eat everything that can be eaten, and even keep rebelling .

Of course, Khmelnytsky had heard about the mighty soldiers of the Ming Empire, but he didn't take it too seriously—in terms of bad names, the Cossack cavalry had the same bad reputation in Europe as in the regions ruled by Tsarist Russia. Children crying at night!

Therefore, Khmelnytsky does not believe in evil, and plans to take the main force of the Cossacks to the Far East to see the Ming Empire, which was touted by the Europeans to the sky, and see how many catties and taels they have. Even Emperor Kexie had a headache.

However, Khmelnytsky soon discovered a problem that made his eggs hurt.

No matter how he thought about it, Khmelnytsky never thought that there would be problems with logistics supplies. After all, he was still in the territory of Tsarist Russia, and he never thought that logistics would not be able to keep up.

But that's how fucked up it is.

At the beginning, the focus of Tsarist Russia was to increase its troops in the direction of Poland, and all its soldiers and supplies began to lean towards Poland. As time progressed, a large number of supplies and troops had already gathered in Poland. border.

Now Mikhailovich has suddenly transferred supplies and troops to the Far East, and other armies other than the Cossacks are unwilling to go to the Far East to fight against Ming Dynasty. This has caused a situation where supplies are slower than the Cossacks.

No matter how powerful the Cossacks are, they still have the structure of normal people. The structure of normal people means that the Cossack cavalry also have to eat, and the key to cavalry lies in the horses. Be fine.

The Cossack cavalry of the ten regular cavalry regiments once again showed their disorganized and undisciplined side.

When the local supplies are not timely or not enough to supply the entire army, the Cossacks don't mind using their own methods to obtain them from the local area.

The only improvement compared to before is that the Cossacks only robbed things this time, instead of killing people together.

If it was not reorganized into a regular cavalry regiment, the Cossacks would not mind killing people and setting fire while robbing things to get more benefits.

Mikhailovich in the Kremlin was going crazy.

In any case, he never expected that when he was almost desperate, the Cossack cavalry regiment led by Khmelnytsky brought him hope.

What's even more unexpected is that the Cossacks didn't even let go of their own country and civilians - they knew that their discipline was poor, but no one expected that they would be so bad!

Nikon pushed the glasses on his nose and said, "Do you have anything to say about what these Cossacks did?"

Mikhailovich was angry, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said, "What else can I say?"

Alexei I, Mikhailovich, who has left a lot of color in the history of Tsarist Russia, looks the same as the common emoji in later generations.
