Zhu Cilang suddenly realized that from when he started, he had begun to stop calling him a lonely man. Then, in the future, he was Zhu Cilang.

No, Zhu Cilang is the only one who calls me on the entire earth and even the entire universe, which is very happy.

I believe Chongzhen didn’t know when it started, didn’t know who reminded him, or what he understood himself, so this kind of understanding was very good.

This year, Empress Dowager Zhou did not go out with Chongzhen, so Chongzhen may also find it boring, or he has been tired of running around in recent years, saying that he will not go out to play next year and will rest at home for a year.

Zhu Cixuan had no objection to this. He happened to be busy next year and the children lacked care. It was a good choice to ask Chongzhen and his wife to help take care of the children.

In the Ming Dynasty, the noble lady like the Empress Dowager and the Supreme Emperor could not escape the fate of raising children, which is very interesting.

The return of Chongzhen also means that the New Year is approaching and the cabinet has lost its jurisdiction over military expenditure, but Zhu Cixuan did not change the cabinet's budget.

Just dealing with the Ottomans, the Ming Dynasty would not have been able to dominate the country, and life should be lived even if it should be.

The military headquarters has almost no upper limit for the budget for next year, provided that they need to find out where they need to use and cannot open their mouths and ask for it.

Zhu Jirun could only bear this silently.

As the New Year approaches, the counterattack from Tsarist Russia has also begun. It is expected that the Ottomans will only be on the defensive until January next year.

In the Ottoman Empire, due to the hesitation of the upper class, the soldiers on the front line lost their advance and retreat, and eventually missed the best time to retreat.

All troops had to station on site for wintering, and those close to the coast could still obtain supplies based on the sea transportation before the ice was frozen.

And those armies that penetrated deep into Tsarist Russian territory could only completely catch them.

As December began, the troops on the front line of the Ottoman had been cut off all contact with the outside world and were divided and surrounded.

According to the military estimates, within half a month, or even after a blizzard, this group of Ottoman soldiers would collapse and surrender or be annihilated.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, Tsarist Russia will be able to advance to the Black Coast, and it depends on whether the fortresses on the Ottoman seaside can hold back Tsarist Russia.

If these forts are lost, Tsarist Russia may have the ability to push the front from renewed to the Danube. And the Ottomans will lose two-thirds of their elite troops, enough to hurt their bones.

If the Ottoman Empire defended these fortresses, then the Ottoman Empire would only lose about a quarter of the army on the front line. Although it suffered a loss, it still had the power to fight again.

Before the beginning of winter, the Ming Dynasty urgently supported a batch of Ottoman winter clothes, and half of them were piled up in these fortresses by the Black Sea.

As for his other half, I was embarrassed to be drowned by officers and officials at all levels of Ottoman and appeared in markets all over the Ottoman.

This is because during the war, these officers and officials were restrained and half of them could be sent to the front line.

In the frontline, only half of these soldiers had cotton coats to wear.

But now it is obvious that the soldiers on the front line cannot use it, so these soldiers should be able to reach 80% of the cotton coat ownership rate. If these people prepare winter clothes in advance, there is no problem in defending these fortresses for winter.

In order to increase the Ottoman Empire's ability to defend the city, the Ming Dynasty also specially sold a batch of imitation Ottoman artillery.

These artillery were copied by the Ming Dynasty based on the style of the current artillery in the Ottoman Empire, and they were exactly the same.

The reason for doing this is that we are afraid that if we use the Ming Dynasty's own artillery support to be captured by Tsarist Russia, we are embarrassed. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty's own artillery is too advanced and not suitable for giving away people. Maybe the enemy will use these artillery to hit the heads of the Ming soldiers.

Including the weapons sold to Tsarist Russia, they are all imitated European and even Tsarist Russian weapons, and logistics supplies such as military uniforms are also specially produced.

This batch of support is also part of the rebalancing plan, controlling the rhythm of the war and allowing the entire war to develop in a direction conducive to the Ming Dynasty.

As for the Tsarist Russia, the Ming Dynasty has significantly reduced its support since the beginning of autumn, because the weather turned to cold, and the production line debugging and maintenance, etc. Anyway, there are a lot of reasons to find.

According to the form, the probability that the soldiers in the Ottoman Empire could defend them is 50%.

The reason why it is so low is entirely because of morale. The Ottoman Empire also withheld military pay and food, and the soldiers did not have very strong fighting will.

The strongest group is now surrounded on the front line, and the group guarding the fortress is the second-line troops of the Ottoman Empire. Although they can fight, their morale is much worse.

The military observers of the Ming Dynasty suggested in advance that the Ottoman Empire would withdraw people and attack after winter. The winter in Tsarist Russia was even harder than they thought.

Unfortunately, the Ottoman Empire was stunned by the rapid victory from the Danube to the Don River this year and did not listen to the Ming Dynasty's suggestions at all.

The Ming Dynasty could only help, after all, the Ming Dynasty's military observers were just suggesting and did not participate in their command operations.

In fact, when it comes to fighting against Tsarist Russia, the Ming Dynasty is a real veteran. It has been more than ten years since the two sides fought, although there was no large-scale war in the later period.

However, the Ming Dynasty's research on combating in extremely cold areas and how to deal with enemies in extremely cold areas has never stopped.

In order to prevent the occurrence of unexpected situations, the Ming Dynasty now wished he could end up in person, desperately reminding the importance of defending these strongholds in the Ottoman Empire.

Unfortunately, the other party is not as pessimistic as the Ming Dynasty. They even look forward to the surrounded troops breaking through the encirclement and then giving the other party a blow that can be matched inside and outside!

For this reason, some of them even suggested that the troops there continue to go north and give the other party a counter-encirclement!

This kind of nesting doll battle forced Zhu Cixuan to remember the circle of encirclements during World War II.

Sure enough, history is always surprisingly similar, because everyone is copying each other.

According to the analysis of the military headquarters, if the Ottoman Empire made the wrong move, then this strategic mistake would be enough to make the Ottoman Empire lose control of the entire northern Black Sea, and even the Balkans would lose a large part of it.

This will also lead to the loss of an excellent chance of plugging in a mobile phone.

This made the entire Ming army more worried than the Ottoman Empire itself.

Zhu Cixuan now requires the frontline to report the situation every day. Although the news he received was three days ago, it can at least relieve his anxiety.

For the Ming Dynasty, the arrow is now on the string and has to be fired. For this battle, the investment in the early stage of the Ming Dynasty has exceeded 100 million, which is not something that can be stopped just by wanting to stop.
