"What do you mean? What does this Ming army mean?"
In the big tent, Emperor Jiaqing was wrapped in a quilt. When he saw Duoshan coming in from the outside with his head full of wind and snow, he quickly asked.
Duoshan patted the snowflakes on his body with a look of relief on his face.
As early as a few days ago, the Qing Dynasty used radio to contact the Ming Dynasty Cavalry Division. This was the first radio connection with the Ming Dynasty after the Jiaqing Western Expedition.
Duo Shan has many things to report to Jin Ling, and at the same time, he needs to take over the next stage of tasks.
As for the purpose of the Ming army, this matter can actually be discussed with Emperor Jiaqing.
Duoshan comforted Jiaqing and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. After several days of investigation, I found that this Ming army is rushing to regain lost territory and will not use force against our Qing Dynasty."
Hearing this, Jiaqing breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Then he became very curious.
"Recover the lost territory. I don't remember what kind of lost territory the Ming Dynasty had here? Could it be that they made a mistake when they drew the map?"
Duo Shan rolled his eyes at Jiaqing and patiently explained to Jiaqing.
When Jiaqing heard that the Ming Dynasty had set Li Bai's hometown near the Aral Sea, the expression on his face was very wonderful.
Merely because of the birthplace of a famous poet, Zhu Zaiming dared to go back to ancient times.
If we include the foreigners who served as officials in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, wouldn't it mean that the Ming Dynasty's territory could expand to Italy after being launched since ancient times?
"Hiss~"
Thinking of this, Jiaqing was also shocked by Daming's shamelessness.
What shocked him even more was that the cavalry division actually sent an envoy and entered the Qing camp with a piece of treaty.
"What, the non-aggression pact between the Ming and Qing Dynasties?"
Emperor Jiaqing held the text of the treaty with the ink still wet in his hand. He looked at the Ming envoy with confusion and didn't know how to complain for a while.
The envoy explained: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty signed a non-aggression treaty for the sake of world peace!
Ming Dynasty has completely regained its homeland, and it is time to focus on people's livelihood.
Although the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were feuding, this is a new era and the hatred of the older generation..."
As the envoy explained, Emperor Jiaqing looked at the envoy who was talking suspiciously. With his man's sixth sense, Jiaqing was sure that Daming was deceiving him.
According to the non-aggression treaty between the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Ming and Qing dynasties would set up a special exchange in the Aral Sea to provide an overview of the trade between the Ming and Qing dynasties.
In the trade list, Daming openly added flintlocks and artillery to the trade list.
Emperor Jiaqing's eyes widened.
That night, Emperor Jiaqing couldn't sleep. He got up and went to Duoshan's tent to ask Duoshan what he thought of the treaty.
And Duo Shan's words directly dispelled Emperor Jiaqing's doubts.
Dushan said: "This is a sugar-coated cannonball sent by the Ming Dynasty. In Wei Chen's opinion, the Qing Dynasty can eat the sugar-coated shells and return the cannonballs~"
…
St. Petersburg.
Alexander I never had it so easy.
He stood at the top of the city of St. Petersburg, looking at the French position in the distance comfortably.
The whole world was shrouded in white, and half of the French army did not have warm cotton clothes. They could only huddle in tents and light small fires in the tents.
The winter in Tsarist Russia is too cold.
When a cup of steaming water is poured out, it will condense into ice crystals in mid-air and be swept up into the sky by strong winds.
In such weather, France's biggest enemy is no longer the Russian army, nor the Spanish flu coming from the south, but the cold winter in Tsarist Russia.
In the French Central Army's tent, Napoleon huddled in front of the fire and remained silent.
The smoke from the fire lingered in the tent, making Napoleon cough from time to time.
As for the orange-yellow flame, Napoleon couldn't feel its temperature. He only felt that the flame was cold, just like the white world outside.
"Your Majesty, most domestic factories are on strike, and too many female workers are sick!"
"How many gaps do we have in cotton-padded clothes?"
"There is a gap of 90,000 people. They can only stay in the tents and cannot get out of the tents. As long as they go out, they will freeze to death in the cold winter soon!"
"So, there are only 60,000 people who can launch an attack?"
"The situation could be worse, we need at least 10,000 people to cut down trees to provide fuel for the soldiers in the tents.
Moreover, even if the soldiers wear cotton-padded clothes, they cannot resist the cold outside. The soldiers can only choose to go out during the two hours at noon..."
The officers were frustrated.
St. Petersburg was too difficult to fight, and the French army could not break the Tsarist Russian position with almost endless serfs.
The 240 heavy artillery has already become a decoration on the battlefield because it has no shells.
These days, the French army has never launched an attack, but is playing a very novel siege game, playing a road of survival in the snow.
Coincidentally, one day later.
A good ally of France and a promising successor to the Roman Empire, Italy was in trouble.
The Italian army could no longer endure the cold winter in Tsarist Russia. They bypassed Napoleon's decision-making and planned a large-scale attack at night.
The 40,000-strong Italian army launched a sneak attack on the eastern position of St. Petersburg defended by 8,000 people on a snowy night.
40,000 Italian soldiers shivered in the cold wind, and nearly 10,000 Italian soldiers lost their way at night and froze to death in the snow.
The other 30,000 soldiers were severely beaten by the Tsarist Russian soldiers after entering the Tsarist Russian positions.
When these Tsarist Russian soldiers saw the enemy coming in, they immediately excitedly followed Alexander I's military order, drank the vodka for the decisive battle, and launched a counterattack against the Italian army with a roar.
The Tsarist Russian soldiers withstood the double impact of the Patriotic War and vodka. They not only smashed the Italian army's night attack attempt at night, but also successfully penetrated the defense of the French allied forces in the east.
The huge position changed hands, and the Russians penetrated from the original Italian position to the French position in the west.
In the following days, Alexander I seized the opportunity and continuously arranged soldiers to attack the French positions with vodka in one hand and ax guns in the other.
French soldiers had to fight with the Russians in the ice and snow.
Because the Tsarist Russians were attacking France from the Italian defense zone.
Napoleon also had no time to organize the French army that still had combat effectiveness to support him.
The Tsarist Russian army disrupted the entire French position in one assault after another.
The scale of victory tilted towards Tsarist Russia.
Napoleon was defeated.
The situation was irreversible. In order to preserve his strength, Napoleon had to abandon those soldiers who did not have cotton-padded clothes.
French soldiers successfully evacuated less than 50,000 people from St. Petersburg.
And these 50,000 people still have to face the harassment of Moscow reinforcements from the southeast and the guerrillas of the remaining Prussian troops.
The French army retreated along the coast, and the Grand Fleet provided naval support to the army.
Although Napoleon finally safely evacuated 50,000 people to Paris, what awaited him were the people devastated by the Spanish Flu and the resurgent Prussian army.
On the island of Great Britain, Berthier's army was unable to capture Sheffield, the last bastion of Great Britain.
And the Prince of Wales's counterattack also began.
This winter, except for the Egyptian and Ottoman fronts, the French army was being defeated across the board at an alarming rate.
