Dominate the Country

In just two months, more than ten Russian spies with oriental faces were "killed", and several "frontline commanders" of Russian intelligence agencies were also killed. Unfortunately, due to the heavy snow, these news were reported to Moscow much later and unevenly. At the beginning, they did not attract the attention of the Moscow branch of the Russian intelligence agency. It was not until the work summary in April that Moscow suddenly discovered this earth-shaking event.

So many front-line intelligence backbones and leaders died. This is absolutely not an accident. This is the Chinese. And what does this mean?

Unfortunately, even if this news was sent to St. Petersburg by them, Alexander I and his men had no time to take care of it.

The French have already openly arranged military stations and stored military supplies in the Russian border area. At the same time, the Poles are gathering, and one Polish division after another has been formed, and then in intensive training.

Napoleon gathered an army of more than 500,000 people, of which the number of French troops is about 300,000, and the rest of the troops are vassal troops, and the Poles have sent the most troops.

Napoleon also believed that only the Poles could be trusted among the vassal army, because the Poles were fighting for their own destiny.

Napoleon promised that he would rebuild Poland after the victory in the war against Russia.

This promise not only greatly motivated the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, but also excited millions of Polish people.

Friedrich August I of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw fully supported the formation of the Polish army. Marshal Poniatowski, who was in charge of the Warsaw government, was the leader of the Polish army. His deputy was Tadeusz Kościuszko, who fought side by side with him more than ten years ago to resist the Russian invasion in Ukraine in 1792.

Poniatowski and Tadeusz Kościuszko are the two most famous heroes in Poland. The former has been fighting for Poland since he withdrew from the Austrian army, and the latter has traveled all over Europe and North America. He served in the Continental Army for seven years, building one military fortress after another for the United States, including West Point. Later, Kościuszko was promoted to brigadier general by Congress and granted American citizenship. He became an American citizen and got some land, and was allowed to join the prestigious Cincinnati Society and the American Philosophical Society.

In Poland, which was in a disaster and sinking into the abyss without seeing the light, Tadeusz Kościuszko's success in the United States made him as great as a hero.

This is like Yang Zhenning at the beginning. When China was far behind the world, Yang Zhenning came to the forefront of world science and technology, and he received countless praises in China. This is the same truth!

Now Poniatowski was awarded the commander of the Fifth Army (45,000 people) of the French Empire by Napoleon. Previously, during the entire Austrian campaign in 1809, Poniatowski successfully led the battle with Archduke Ferdinand in Galicia. After suffering a defeat and being forced to abandon Warsaw, he regrouped and adopted a series of bold strategies to counterattack the Austrian army and successfully recaptured Lublin, Sandomir, Zamość and Brody. Napoleon was impressed by his great achievements and awarded him the Sword of Honor. Poniatowski's military talent was recognized by Napoleon, and the Fifth Army was composed entirely of Poles and Saxons.

Tadeusz Kościuszko was pulled by Poniatowski to be his deputy, and this decision was recognized by Napoleon. Tadeusz Kościuszko was also awarded the rank of brigadier general by Napoleon.

At the moment when the expedition to Russia was imminent, Napoleon was trying his best to win over Poland, who made Poland and Russia have an irreconcilable hatred.

Napoleon believed that apart from the French, only the Poles were the most loyal to him, and this cognition was not wrong. In 1813, after Napoleon suffered a disastrous defeat in his expedition to Russia, Poniatowski in the original time and space still shed blood and sacrificed for the French Empire as an ally. He led the loyal Polish army to Germany to continue fighting for France, and participated in the Battle of Leipzig. In the end, he rode into the Elster River for being captured, and then died because the warhorse failed to carry him to the other side and pressed him into the river.

He was the last imperial marshal appointed by Napoleon. Was he really so loyal to Napoleon? No, it was just because Poland's hope was completely pinned on Napoleon.

At this moment, the European continent was like a long-accumulated volcano about to erupt. Although Alexander I was worried about the East and the Ottomans, he really had no extra energy to pay attention to the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea. Especially the Caspian Sea coast in the east. He had a worry in his heart that Astrakhan, which was controlled by the Russians 250 years ago, might be lost from his hands this time. That piece of land might return to the hands of the nomads again.

Astrakhan was once the autumn residence of the Golden Horde and a major commercial center on the way from Persia and India to the Russian principalities and Europe. In 1558, Ivan IV's army captured Astrakhan without a fight and incorporated it into the territory of the Moscow Principality. Soon after, the Tsar ordered the city to be moved to the other side of the downstream in order to make it easier to defend against the neighboring countries that kept coming to disturb it. Between 1582 and 1589, the first white stone Kremlin in the lower Volga was built on the new site. In ancient Russia, high walled fortresses with guard posts were called Kremlins. This Kremlin has 7 towers, 3 of which have entrances and exits. In this way, Astrakhan became an outpost in southern Russia.

Although 250 years have passed, Russia has still not been able to completely conquer the Caspian Sea. Their steps to the south are blocked by the Caucasus Mountains, and their steps to the east are just about to enter the harvest season, when the Chinese completely cut off one thigh.

Now, Alexander I suspected that he might not be able to keep the Caspian Sea or even the Volga River.

Alexander I was heartbroken, but he could only continue to ignore the Caspian Sea, hoping that the stone Kremlin built that year could stop the Chinese from coming to Russia.

According to the news from the British, Napoleon only mobilized 300,000 French soldiers. The 400,000 troops they estimated before were obviously a wrong number, which was at least 500,000 troops.

Alexander I was under great pressure!

In order to resist Napoleon, he had gathered more than 250,000 troops in the western part of Russia. Before the war came, he was confident that he could gather 300,000 troops. However, after the huge Russia reduced its 300,000 troops, their military strength in the East, Caucasus and Black Sea Basin was extremely needed.

If it was just one Russia, Alexander I would still have the confidence to resist, but if the Ottomans and the Chinese were added, Alexander I would be worried.

Now they need more than just military supplies and military expenditure assistance from the British, they need reinforcements who can fight.

Alexander I had been sending people to contact Bernadotte, hoping to achieve peace with Sweden, but although Bernadotte was unwilling to offend the British, they were obviously unwilling to offend the French.

…

It was April of 1812 in the Western calendar, and teams of cavalry and armies were gathering towards Central Asia.

Chen Han did not send many troops this time, only 100,000 in total. And the troops sent by the Seven Khanates were not many, also 100,000. It's just that they need to be ready to send out the second batch of people at any time.

Most of the 100,000 troops of the Seven Khanates were cavalry, and there were also many cavalry in Chen Han's 100,000 troops. Dong Wei, the cavalry commander in charge of the coalition, came to the west bank of the Aral Sea in March on the snow.

The commander-in-chief of this army was Wei Baocheng, the commander-in-chief on the front line was Chen Wei, and Shen Shiying was still the commander-in-chief.

Chen Ming was a little good at using old people. It's not that he didn't give newcomers a chance to come forward, but that he thought the old people were reliable. The young and vigorous group headed by Wei Baocheng, Deng Yun, Chen Wei, Dong Wei, Pan Chang, Shen Shiying, etc., can already remove the word "young". In recent years, the old men have retired from the army one after another, whether it is Gao Pingshan, Huang Jie, Chen Qi, Chen Yongsheng, who were still young when the country was founded, or Chen Erbao, Chen Wenzan, Chen Jianbai, Chen Hongtao, Huang An, Gao Jinghui, Lu Long, Shi Meng, etc., all retired. Some have died of illness for many years, such as Shi Meng.

Chen Ming has been very good at using Wei Baocheng and others. And they fought very well in several wars in America.

By May, the Ural River Basin.

There has been a certain conflict between the patrolling Russian army and the army of the Mongolian Khanate.

The Torghut Khanate was very excited about returning to the Volga River. They fled from Xinjiang and the Dzungars, and the place they went to was the Volga River. They rebelled during the Sino-Russian War and left their "hometown" for many years. Now they are going back to fight again.

Ubashi is dead, but his son Tsering Namzal is still very active.

Tsebokdorji is also dead, but his son Lingderek is still good at fighting.

The other three Mongolian khanates are also happy to fight to the east coast of the Caspian Sea, because that is the former site of the Golden Horde. The existence of the Golden Horde symbolizes the glory of the heyday of the Mongolian Empire.

Regardless of whether the mentality of "my ancestors were also rich" is a self-expectation, the Mongols are very happy to do so.

The Kazakhs also like to fight the Russians, so that they can let the natives of the former three southern khanates under their rule have a good look at their prestige. Isn't the Russian Empire, which once made the three southern khanates bow their heads, now also trampled under their feet?

Regardless of whether this war was initiated by them, the seven khanates are very happy to attack Russia. Especially when Russia is in trouble.

China's influence on the Seven Khanates is unquestionable. Even if Russia is not threatened by Europe, if Chen Ming wants to go to war with Russia, the Seven Khanates can only hold back. Now, how good it is.
