Przewski stayed in Zhezkazgan for a few days, reporting their defeat to the country and asking for help.
While continuing to collect broken troops and recruit new troops to resist the Tenglong Army.
In the past few days, they had not waited for reinforcements, nor had they gathered many defeated troops.
Most of the soldiers were captured, some deserted, and others were killed.
Tsarist Russia dispatched 200,000 people in this battle, and suffered 70,000 to 80,000 casualties in successive battles, and 80,000 to 90,000 soldiers surrendered.
There are currently less than 40,000 people available.
This still transferred soldiers from other places to the city of Zhezkazgan.
After receiving the news of his brother-in-law's defeat, the Tsarist Emperor prepared to order the removal of his brother-in-law from his post.
In the end, his queen spared him once after a lot of listening.
He also sent 100,000 Tsarist Russian serf soldiers from the mainland to support his brother-in-law.
Przewski received very bad news in the city of Zhezkazgan.
The Tenglong Army launched a massive attack from three directions.
The army was divided into three groups: upper, middle and lower to attack the Kazakh city.
If the Kazakhs cannot hold on, their colony will be split into two by the Tenglong Army.
Most of the southern colonies would lose contact with the mainland.
They invested heavily in these colonies over the years.
If it is completely occupied by the Tenglong Army, it will be even worse for Tsarist Russia, which is already facing many difficulties.
Przewski was ready to defend the city of Zhezkazgan this time.
Xia Zhiguan led the 2nd Division of the 15th Army to continuously approach the city of Zhezkazgan. The momentum was overwhelming along the way, and there was no enemy at all.
Przewski set up layers of obstacles on the road, hoping to delay the attack of the Tamron army as much as possible.
But in front of their true strength, all their little tricks seemed so ridiculous.
Tsarist Russian support troops were discovered by a division of cavalry as they prepared to cross the Irtysh River.
This division is Li Yu's unit of the 20th Army.
On the orders of their commander, they blocked the Russian reinforcements.
The Tsarist Russian troops suddenly encountered a division of cavalry and suffered heavy losses.
The Tenglong Army hit and ran, not wanting to fight.
When Tsarist Russia was not paying attention, they made another surprise attack.
The Tsarist Russian support troops avoided suffering too much losses and only advanced a small distance every day.
If they go down at this speed, the city of Zhezkazgan will be lost, and they haven't even reached Akmolinsk yet.
In addition, the First Division of the Fifteenth Army of the Tenglong Army is attacking the most prosperous city in Kazakhstan, Akmolinsk.
Przewski defended the city of Zhezkazgan for several days, but was unable to resist the footsteps of the Tenglong Army, and the support troops were delayed in arriving.
He guessed that the Tenglong Army must have blocked his reinforcements again.
After all, this was not the first time or twice. He knew the combat deployment of the Tenglong Army very well.
We have no choice but to continue to retreat west, to the west of the Aral Sea, and establish a new base here.
He did not flee to the north. The intelligence he obtained said that the Tenglong Army was attacking from three directions, which meant that the city of Akmolinsk was about to be destroyed.
So what if there are 100,000 reinforcements over there.
Their 200,000-strong army was beaten by the Tenglong Army's 40,000-strong army, and they fled like rats.
An army of 100,000 people may not be the opponent of 10,000 Tenglong troops on the opposite side.
It must be said that Przewski was a sober person in Tsarist Russia.
Even though their combat capabilities are mediocre, their escape and analysis abilities are still among the best in their country.
In addition, his subordinates were too incompetent, which also led to his successive defeats.
But before he faced off against the Tenglong Army, he was always the winner.
Przewski chose the city of Aktobe.
The city of Aktobe is adjacent to their mainland and located in the westernmost part of Kazakhstan.
Aktobe City is also the third largest city after Akmolinsk City and Zhezkazgan City. It is rich in various resources.
It is relatively safe for him to choose this place. It is still very difficult for the Tenglong Army to fight there with its current strength.
The biggest difficulty is the logistical pressure. After all, the Tenglong Army just took over the northwest province.
The control here is still very weak, and the internal situation is unstable.
After Przewski took control of the city of Aktobe, Tsarist Russia also left the last transfer channel with other colonies in Central Asia and Southwest Asia.
After Xia Zhikuan captured the city of Zhezkazgan, he also stopped attacking westward.
The Second Division of the 15th Army will be stationed here, and the Governor of Xinjiang will also send people to manage the city.
Xia Zhikuan went to the First Division. He wanted to continue cleaning up Kazakhstan, that is, the northern part of Southwest Province.
Drive the enemy out of Southwest Province.
Southwest Province is very different from Annan and Anxi Provinces.
Annan and Ansi provinces are very small.
Southwest Province has become the second largest province after Xinjiang. (Refer to the original boundaries of Xinjiang Province, which is not the current boundaries of Xinjiang Province. If we refer to the current Xinjiang Province, Annan Province will become the largest province.)
The entire battle in the west was basically over in less than a month, and the casualties were smaller than those in the Yunnan Military Region.
The harvest is also much greater than that of the Yunnan Military Region.
Two territories were directly added to the Tenglong Empire.
The territorial area is basically the same as that of the United States. This is also because the Qing Dynasty has not yet completely conquered it.
There is no way to confirm the land area ranking. After all, countries are currently frantically grabbing colonies.
The news reached Henan, and Li Jingxiao immediately asked the Ministry of Information to release the information. The news became the front page headline of Tenglong Daily.
The Tenglong Army expanded its territory and captured the second largest province after Xinjiang Province.
The Tenglong Empire began its second great migration.
This move is bigger than the move to immigrate to Annan Province.
…
Mainly around the Three Gorges, there is a lot of publicity to immigrate to Southwest Province.
Southwest Province is rich in oil, natural gas, various minerals, coal, etc.
The resources are very rich. In the past, immigrants from the Tenglong Empire could develop technology, build factories, mine, and conduct natural gas research.
Fruit, rice, corn and other crops can also be grown.
In addition, cotton can be grown in some areas and animal husbandry can also be developed.
Don't look down on animal husbandry. Think about how much your dozens of sheep and yaks are worth.
After Xia Zhikuan took over the Northwest Province, he appointed Li Wen as the governor of the two western provinces, in charge of the political affairs of the Northwest Province and Anxi Province.
The Northwest Province was too big, and finally Li Jingxiao ordered it to be split.
Among them, Zhambul Prefecture and South Kazakh Prefecture were allocated to Anxi Province.
Since then, the area of Anxi Province and Northwest Province has not been much different.
Because they were newly acquired provinces, Li Jingxiao specifically allowed Li Wen to deploy 30,000 armed police in each province.
The two provinces have 60,000 armed police officers to maintain regional stability. Of these 60,000 armed police officers, 30,000 are recruited from Xinjiang and other provinces, and another 30,000 are recruited from locals.
Recruited from local people who could speak simple Chinese and had a good attitude towards the Tenglong regime joined the army.
The area controlled by Xia Zhikuan's Xinjiang Military Region occupies almost one-third of the area controlled by the Tenglong Empire.
Li Jingxiao specifically allowed Xia Zhikuan's Xinjiang Military Region to expand by two more armies.
Both corps are expanding within the old military areas, such as one division or two divisions being expanded into one corps.
Ensure the strength of the army as much as possible.
