Shengjing, Fengtian City.
In the palace of General Shengjing.
Shengjing General Lin Ning was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth.
"How can you go out and attack? How can you go out and attack? You're confused!"
Lin Ning just received the battle report from Jinchang, the deputy commander of the Xianglan Banner.
Three brigades of the Ming army marched northward in a big way, passing by Tieling Tunbao. A leader of the Xianglan Banner actually tried to stop the Ming army with more than a thousand troops. The people of the Eight Banners who were stationed around Tunpu were evacuated.
It's better now.
He was directly surrounded by people in the fort.
Jinchang, on the other hand, personally led the eight thousand cavalry southward.
Prepare to take out these 10,000 people.
It was just an army of eight thousand cavalry facing three brigades of the Ming army.
It's definitely no match for him.
Now is the era when the Ming army is completely invincible.
There are a total of 15,000 Ming troops in the three brigades. Although two of the brigades are newly formed, they are not equipped with good equipment. Moreover, although they are new numbers, all of them have been in Liaodong for a year and can be used. A man with a musket who dares to go into the mountains to hunt tigers and bears.
In this way, the three Ming army infantry brigades were each equipped with a dragoon battalion. The Qing army did not have more than double the strength and did not dare to defend at all - let alone take the initiative to attack.
Lin Ning was also from a clan named Aixinjueluo. Before becoming General Shengjing, he served in the clan mansion in Beijing and also served as Qianlong's minister of bodyguard. Of course he knew the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.
But the old Eight Banners in Manchuria don't know.
They thought that if a cavalry of 10,000 to 20,000 troops faced off against a Ming army of 10,000 Ming troops, even if they lost, they would at least be able to fight evenly - this was simply a dream.
Everyone overestimates themselves.
"What should we do now? Jinchang has led a cavalry of 8,000 people to the south. If we lose..."
The one who was speaking was Heilongjiang General Shu Liang, and Jilin General Baolin was also present.
Both of them frowned, looking worried.
After getting the news that the Ming army was coming across the sea.
The three military offices of Shengjing, Heilongjiang, and Jilin in Manchuria mobilized troops into Liaodong.
Although Heilongjiang still has the task of guarding against Russia, Shu Liang doesn't care about that much now.
If Heilongjiang and Jilin did not mobilize their troops southward, the strength of Shengjing alone would not be enough to fight against the tens of thousands of Ming troops.
Now the soldiers of the Eight Banners in Manchuria have basically gathered together, and among the people of the Eight Banners, those who can carry swords and guns have also been armed.
The two hundred thousand people of the Eight Banners, in addition to the more than 22,000 cavalry, also organized 30,000 men into the army.
Five people draw one.
It can be said to be extreme mobilization.
Moreover, the men of the Eight Banners here in Manchuria still endure more hardship than those in the Eight Banners in Beijing. At least most of them can ride horses, and there is no shortage of horses in Manchuria.
Therefore, it can barely be regarded as an army of 50,000 cavalry.
In addition, there are 6,000 Ningguta armored men, and the tribe of animal hunters has recruited nearly 10,000 people.
The military strength is very strong. A few hundred years ago, the 68,000 cavalry could even go south to compete with the great powers of the Central Plains.
But now in Lin Ning's hands, she doesn't even have much confidence in defending Liaoyang.
"The Ming army now only has three brigades forward, and its main force should still be at sea." Jilin General Baolin said.
"Even if we arrive in Lushun tomorrow, it will take some time for the large troops to arrive." Heilongjiang General Shu Liang said, "This may be an opportunity."
Lin Ning also started to make calculations after hearing this.
There are about 15,000 Ming troops in three brigades.
Most of them were infantry.
Most of the Eight Banners in Manchuria can ride horses.
Now Jinchang has brought 8,000 horse teams, and here we have sent 28,000 flag horse teams, 10,000 strong men from the animal hunting tribe, and the 6,000 Ningguta armored men.
This brings the total number of troops to 44,000.
There are fifteen thousand people on the opposite side, so it’s basically three against one!
With more than 40,000 cavalry, they can kill a lot, right?
Even if he is defeated, he should still be able to run away.
After some calculation.
Lin Ning thinks this stop is worth fighting for!
"Retreating is not an option. Since there is a chance... let's fight for a while!"
Lin Ning gritted her teeth and said.
Right now.
An Eight Banners official came in a hurry.
"General, the envoy from Tsarist Russia is here!"
Heilongjiang General Shu Liang stood up with a loud sound
"What? Did Tsarist Russia invade Heilongjiang?"
The three Eight Banners garrison generals looked at each other.
What they were most worried about was that Tsarist Russia took advantage of the crisis to tear up the Treaty of Nerchinsk and send troops into Heilongjiang.
Although the Eight Banners has many troops stationed in Manchuria.
However, there were too few people in Manchuria, and there were emptiness and loopholes everywhere. It was impossible to prevent the infiltration of Tsarist Russia by spreading tens of thousands of troops.
What's more, most of the Eight Banners garrison in Heilongjiang and Jilin have been transferred to Shengjing to deal with Ni Ming.
If Tsarist Russia launches an attack now.
We can only rely on the people of the Eight Banners in Heilongjiang to organize and resist.
"They said they came here to deal with Ni Ming together..."
"Cooperate with us?"
Lin Ning and others frowned.
"Invite the Russian envoy in."
...........
Inside Fengtian City.
A group of cavalrymen holding the tricolor flag of Tsarist Russia slowly entered the city.
This time the person who came to Fengtian was a big shot in Tsarist Russia.
Tsarist Russia’s new governor of Eastern Siberia, one-eyed general Mikhail Kutuzov.
Kutuzov was riding on his horse at this time, looking around at this oriental city with his only remaining eye.
"Manchuria is such a wonderful place..."
Kutuzov muttered under his breath.
Kutuzov, who was born in 1745, is 48 years old and is already a lieutenant general in the Russian Imperial Army.
He participated in the Fifth Russo-Turkish War in 1774, during which he began to rise to prominence. Of course, it was also during this war that he lost his right eye forever, so that now the Russian Empire Lieutenant General only has He wears a black eyepatch, and if you ignore the general stars on his shoulders and the straight military uniform, he looks like a pirate with his ferocious look.
"Manchuria is certainly a good place, Lieutenant General."
The person speaking next to him was a short, thin, somewhat elegant Slavic scholar.
Kutuzov glanced sideways at the scholar named Alexander Radishchev.
Radishchev is a well-known... critic in Moscow.
In Kutuzov's opinion, he was a big mouth.
He has criticized the Queen's foreign and military policies in public more than once, and believes that the Russian Empire should learn from some enlightened monarchy countries in Western Europe to carry out reforms. He also believes that the serfdom system and monarchical dictatorship of the Russian Empire will sooner or later be brought to the Soros people. A huge disaster.
It's okay if this big mouth just says this.
What's terrible is that he actually started to promote Jacobin ideas.
So this unlucky guy was exiled to Siberia by the kind Queen - it was indeed the Queen who was kind, this unlucky guy... no, it should be that the lucky guy happened to be somewhat famous in Europe, otherwise he would have been buried long ago.
Unexpectedly, after arriving in Siberia, he became obsessed with the study of China.
Originally Kutuzov would not have been sent to the East.
But since last year, Moscow has received news from the east.
The southern Chinese government, the Ming Empire, has established military camps in the Far East, and it seems that it will also extend its hands into this area.
This aroused great vigilance in the Queen.
Empress Catherine, who obtained the throne through a coup, chose uninterrupted external expansion in order to stabilize her throne.
during her reign.
Russia expanded southward and westward successively, acquiring parts of Ukraine, Belarus, and Lithuania on the right bank during the three carvings of Poland by Russia, Prussia, and Austria. It fought against Turkey and acquired the Black Sea coast and parts of Crimea and Courland.
At the same time, she was also very interested in southern China.
Not long after she became the ruler of the Russian Empire, she began to adopt a posture of armed attack on China, changed the original border military system, and authorized the Special Military Office under the Military Commission to handle China's border affairs. In the same year, Yekaty Linna II also ordered Miller to draft the "Opinions on the War with China". In this document, it was clearly declared that the Heilongjiang Basin was owned by Russia.
This gave Russia's subsequent expansion a so-called legal cloak.
It can be said that in the original history.
Catherine's military preparations for China are very sufficient.
However, because the focus of Russia's external expansion was in Europe, it had no time to take into account Asia. At the same time, due to poor financial support, the plan was delayed again and again.
However, in this time and space, due to the rise of the Ming Empire, the rising confrontation between the Ming Dynasty and Britain has eased the pressure on Russia in Europe. Even Britain is seeking to improve relations with Russia and establish an alliance to jointly oppose the Ming Dynasty and France.
This left Catherine free to look east.
It doesn't matter if you look at it.
The elderly Queen was immediately startled.
Great changes have taken place in the East!
The rise of Ming Dynasty.
And a military garrison was established in the Vladivostok area. According to the intelligence coming back from the east, Vladivostok is actually a frost-free port!
Although Russia is big, it is trapped on land. Their coastline is very long, but most of it faces the Arctic Ocean and is frozen all year round. There are many ports in the Black Sea, but to enter the Mediterranean from the Black Sea and then into the ocean, you have to pass through some very narrow areas. The Strait is a natural constraint on the Russian Navy.
so...
If we could get an ice-free port in the East, this would be a huge temptation for the Russian Empire!
Catherine II immediately decided to send more troops to the East and sent Mikhail Kutuzov, who had performed well in the Russo-Turkish War, to the East to preside over the expansion plan in the East.
After Mikhail came to the East, he immediately discovered that compared with the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty... should be the opponent that Russia needs to be wary of most in the East. Their military garrison in Vladivostok will be the most difficult thing for Russia to seize the Vladivostok region. question.
Under such circumstances.
Mikhail sought contact with the Qing Dynasty, hoping to unite with the Qing Dynasty to fight against the Ming Dynasty. He did not directly pursue the occupation of Vladivostok, but first helped the Qing court destroy the Ming military garrison in Vladivostok.
But I didn't expect...
All is well in Vladivostok.
The Ming and Qing dynasties first started fighting here in Shengjing.
Mikhail did not see the Qing government's two Eight Banners garrison generals in Heilongjiang City and Jilin City, so he had to go all the way south to Fengtian.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.

My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
