Chapter 15 The Tsarist Russia
In the twelve months of the Ming Empire, the temperature in the Western Regions was already quite cold. Although it was not as cold as Siberia, it was basically below zero during the day, and it could drop to more than ten degrees below zero at night, and the wind and sand were particularly strong.
In this kind of ghost weather, few people usually choose to travel far away, but on this day, a cavalry emerged from the wasteland less than a hundred miles from the Khanate of Watshuote tribe.
There are about a thousand cavalry in this group, but they are not the Mongol Yuan iron cavalry, but the Cossack cavalry that is terrifying in the Western Regions!
Judging from the direction they were running wildly, it was clearly the Khan Court of the Shuote tribe, and it was also the place where Gushikhan, the leader of the Washu tribe, lived. How did they break through the layers of guards of the Washu tribe, rush into the Washu territory for thousands of miles, and rush to a place only a hundred miles away from the Khan Court?
If they rush hard, they would naturally not be able to rush here. Although the Cossack cavalry was strong, the Mongolian Yuan iron cavalry was not vegetarian. The Washu tribes are now very powerful and can pull out tens of thousands of iron cavalry at will. If these more than a thousand cavalry rushed hard, they would probably be wiped out if they could rush thousands of miles.
The reason why they were able to rush here was because they were not here to fight, but to guard the Tsarist Russian envoys to visit Gushikhan.
The sky was getting darker, and someone suddenly raised his hand among the group of people. More than a thousand cavalry began to slow down and stopped soon.
The person who raised his hand pulled off the scarf on his face, rubbed his frozen blue face hard, and gasped: "How far is it? I can't do it, let's camp here tonight."
A man behind immediately rushed forward and bowed: "General, there are less than a hundred miles away. If we do, we Khan already know that you are coming, so we probably have prepared a lot of milk wine and barbecue."
This man was dressed as a Mongolian cavalry, but he spoke in Tsarist Russian dialect!
The person in charge is actually a general from Tsarist Russia, so who is he?
This is another confidant of Rozov, the Tsarist Russian Army General Kopelov!
After hearing the words of the Mongol contact officer, Kopelov couldn't help but spit, waved his hand, and shouted: "Go away."
Then, he put on a scarf and ran forward on a horse. The Cossack cavalry behind him immediately followed without hesitation, and the sound of horse hooves sounded again on the wasteland.
In such a cold day, I had to run thousands of miles to this ghost place to negotiate with people. Kopelov almost got angry when he received Rozov's order.
Wei Ke, I am an army general at least, okay? Is there anyone who is so troubled by you?
However, after Rozov asked him to go and discuss secretly for a while, he immediately set off with a thousand Cossack cavalry without hesitation.
There are two reasons why he is so desperate.
The first reason, many people know, is that this negotiation is related to the success or failure of the war with the Ming Empire next year.
Of course, if this reason alone cannot prompt him to take his people to run thousands of miles in the winter with him so desperately, and the war with the Ming Empire was not his own business. He could have sent other people to come. Why should he suffer this?
There is another more important reason, that is, Rozov's meaning is that as long as he is willing to come, the newly formed 200,000 army will be commanded by him!
Although he was an admiral and Rozov's confidant, there was more than one general of Tsarist Russia, and more than one confidant of Rozov. Moreover, even if the newly recruited 200,000 new recruits were added, Tsarist Russia had only more than 600,000 troops in total.
How huge is this temptation to command nearly one-third of Tsarist Russia's army. Before that, only Rozov's number one confidant Franzbekov had so many troops under his command.
As long as he runs horses for thousands of miles in the middle of winter, he can get the command of the 200,000 army. He doesn't do such a good thing, and there are a lot of people rushing to sit. So he comes without hesitation, saying that he is running thousands of miles, even if he runs tens of thousands of miles, he is willing!
A Tsarist Russian general was not a big figure in Gushihan's eyes. There were many Tsarist Russian generals, but there was only one leader of the Wassar tribe, and Kopelov was not on the same level as him at all.
In his eyes, only Rozov and the current Tsar are qualified to be on par with him.
Of course, he still attaches great importance to Kopelov's visit. It is absolutely no small matter to send a general to negotiate in such a cold day. He had already vaguely guessed that perhaps it was related to the war in Siberia. He heard that Tsarist Russia was beaten by the Ming Empire there and was so urinating that he had sent envoys over here, and most of them were coming to ask for help.
Should we send troops to help them? This question is actually very simple. The Wassai tribe and Tsarist Russia are not allies of Duo Iron, but both sides are a little concerned about each other, so they signed a contract and did not invade each other.
With such an ordinary relationship, it is impossible to ask the Wastu tribe to send troops to help with just a few words.
Of course, it is not impossible to ask him to send troops to help. As long as he has enough benefits, he will definitely take action. After all, the wattana and the Ming Empire are too big.
The Ming Empire will sooner or later seek revenge on the other's emperor and besiege their capital.
This time the Ming Empire fought with Tsarist Russia was actually a good opportunity, and Gushikhan was also considering whether to send troops.
However, the performance of the Ming Empire was really too fierce. Judging from the information found in various aspects, the Tsarist Russian Far East Legion was simply vulnerable to the Ming Empire!
In recent years, Wassai has not fought with the Ming Dynasty, but he has fought several times with Tsarist Russia. He is still very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Tsarist Russian army, almost comparable to Wassai's Mongol Iron Cavalry, and he was beaten so hard that his butt was urinated. It was probably the same as when he went up.
Therefore, he kept watching. If Tsarist Russia can turn defeat into victory next year and drive the Ming Empire out of the Siberian Khanate, he might follow behind to send troops; if Tsarist Russia is still vulnerable in front of the Ming Empire next year, he will never send troops to seek death.
Gushikhan's thoughts, Rozov could probably guess that if he wanted to send troops, he had to send someone who could fool him. If possible, he would really want Richelie to go there!
If the old fox was willing to take action, he would probably not have to give anything, and Gu Shihan would be fooled by him and rushed up to fight the Ming Empire.
But the problem is that Richelieu could not run so far to fool Gushihan, so Kopelov was lucky to win the prize.
In fact, among Rozov's confidants, Kopelov's ability is not the strongest, nor is he the most brave in combat. However, he has one advantage, that is, he is very good at fooling people!
It can be said that his position as an admiral was not obtained by fighting, and most of the credit was attributed to his mouth, which was too fooling.
Of course, Kopelov didn't know that he was selected for this reason, but he had decided on the way to come that he must fool Gushihan to send troops this time.
Rozov did not sign a contract with him. If the negotiations were not successful, I don’t know whether I could get the command of 200,000 people when I ran back. How could I let go of such a good opportunity? Speaking of fooling people, it is his strength, which is even better than commanding a war!
