Chapter 1761 Liang Yue’s future
Gudnov and his party had a hard time walking and suffered countless hardships.
But he has a good spirit and feels that he can win more benefits for Russia.
He had no idea that behind him, the National Defense Forces did not stop at all.
The Wehrmacht in the center has captured Kiliansk and is marching towards Bratsk.
Once this place is captured by the National Defense Forces, Russia will only have one stronghold in Turukhansk left in the entire east of the Yenisey River.
And that stronghold is close to the North Pole and is of little use.
By the time the Fourth Division emerged from the wilderness, its fall was inevitable.
Originally, Gudnov and his party had already crossed the Altai Mountains and entered the Western Region. However, they were suddenly notified and had to turn around and head southwest.
Because Zuo Mengeng did not stay in Turpan for too long, he had even left Xijing and entered Central Asia.
He did not even take the route of Zuo Xuanyan and the 7th Division. Instead, after crossing Lake Ixsay, he turned southwest and entered the Fergana Basin.
Here, there is also a city that is well known to Chinese people.
Haohan.
During the Qing Dynasty, the Kokand Khanate's invasion of the Western Regions and Zuo Gong's tragic Western Expedition are history that the Chinese people will always remember.
At this time, standing at the top of Haohan City, Zuo Mengeng felt relaxed and happy.
I don’t know if there will be Zuo Gong in two hundred years, but at least people at that time no longer have to worry about the Western Regions.
"Send the order to change the name of this city to Zuogong City."
No one knew why it was named so, but seeing that the emperor was resolute, no one raised any objection.
Moreover, it has long been spread below that Zuo Mengeng and Zuo Xuanyan, father and daughter, seem to have a penchant for naming.
A fairy city was named there, and a Zuogong city was named here.
At this time, Zuo Mengeng also got the news that the Russian delegation was arriving. He decided to stay in Kokand for a while and at the same time increase the confidence of the officials below.
With him as the emperor, the officials below would carry out local reforms without any worries.
After all, the emperor was surrounded by large armies and powerful forces, and officials were not afraid of provoking resistance.
And the emperor spoke very clearly.
If there is resistance and riots, they should be suppressed directly.
There is only one requirement: this place must completely become the land of the Han family.
Also in Haohan, Zuo Mengeng met Liang Yue.
This is the first time in their lives that this old enemy has met.
Being brought to Zuo Mengeng, Liang Yue was in a daze.
Originally, in his mind, he had always looked down upon Zuo Mengeng because of his hatred.
Hearing that Zuo Mengeng was young, he thought he was a fair-faced scholar.
At this time, seeing Zuo Mengeng's tall and tall figure in front of him, Liang Yue finally understood why Xu Yaqing was so afraid of this person.
"You want to kill me?"
The atmosphere was not harmonious.
Zuo Mengeng poured him tea.
"If I want to kill you, there are many opportunities. Why wait until now?"
Liang Yue's face softened slightly, but he still said angrily: "Who knows if you are trying to buy people's hearts?"
Zuo Mengeng knew that he was angry in his heart and didn't care.
"Even if you are really killed, Liang's army will not collapse."
Liang Yue was silent and suddenly pointed at Jiang Chaoyun and Zhao Silie.
"They are also yours, right?"
Jiang Chaoyun and Zhao Silie touched their noses and had no words.
Zuo Mengeng smiled.
"Otherwise, do you think such a powerful figure can emerge from the peasant army?"
He admitted it frankly.
Liang Yue is not a fool.
Having fought side by side for so many years, he had watched the rise of Jiang Chaoyun and Zhao Silie.
At first, he was happy to have such a caring and capable brother, but later many incidents seemed strange, and it was impossible for him not to be suspicious.
Originally, he thought that Jiang Chaoyun and Zhao Silie were sent by Zuo Mengeng to plot against him, but as time passed, he found that these two people had always worked conscientiously to help him fight and completely obeyed his orders.
Later, when the Liang Army reached an agreement with the Empire and effectively guaranteed their westward march, Liang Yue actually understood that Zuo Menggeng really had no intention of harming him.
The tragedy that happened in Linqing that year indeed had nothing to do with Zuo Mengeng.
After all, Zuo Mengeng was only fourteen years old at the time and was not yet capable of handling housework.
The most important thing is that Zuo Mengeng was not at home at the time.
But the tragic death of an elder in the family has always been lingering in Liang Yue's stomach. Today in person, he finally had a chance to vent.
"Let me beat you up and the matter from back then will be settled."
Facing his bull's eye, Zuo Mengeng grinned.
"You can't beat me, you can't even beat Xu Yaqing."
Liang Yue's dusty face suddenly turned red, but he was also helpless.
It was a fact that he couldn't beat Xu Yaqing, and Xu Yaqing really couldn't beat Zuo Mengeng.
This made him sigh.
Why are there people in this world who are so omnipotent?
When Zuo Mengeng met Liang Yue, he certainly wasn't teasing him.
"It's not an option to dwell on the past, and it's impossible for me to use my own head to avenge you. Let's give you a big compensation."
He asked for a map and pointed to the vast plain area east of the Dnieper River.
"Here, if you conquer it, you will be allowed to establish your own country, and the empire will provide you with military protection."
Liang Yue paused, the astonishment on his face not hidden.
As the situation progressed, he was actually silently thinking about where he would go in the future.
Even if Zuo Mengeng had no intention of killing him, the empire would not tolerate him.
This has nothing to do with good or bad. As a complete political system, the empire obviously has no alternative living space.
But Zuo Mengeng gave a solution.
Liang Yue was allowed to lead his Liang army to establish an independent country and receive protection from the empire.
Jianguo became king!
No matter how stupid Liang Yue was, he understood that Zuo Mengeng's proposal was really sincere.
"what do I need to do?"
It is convenient for smart people to talk.
"The empire is currently at war with Russia. Our goal is to reach the Volga River and the Ural Mountains and establish the empire's borders based on the terrain here. But if these vast fertile lands on the east bank of the Dnieper River are occupied by the Russians, give them For a certain period of time, it will definitely threaten the empire's security on the western front. The empire needs to establish a buffer zone here to contain the Russians."
Clearly, clearly.
This made Liang Yue not even say "no".
After all, except for Zuo Mengeng, I'm afraid no one in this world can give him such a great benefit.
"It's a deal."
Zuo Mengeng made another explanation.
"The Torgut Tribe of Oirat Mongolia could not compete with the Junggar Tribe and the Heshuote Tribe, so they moved here. Currently they are being eroded by the Russians. After you pass, you can incorporate the Torgut Tribe and enhance their own strength. When you gain a foothold there, the Empire will assist you with an arsenal and allow you to make your own weapons."
"The kind used by the National Defense Forces?"
Liang Yue's heart pounded.
"right."
