lied to Kangxi

Chapter 888 Here Comes the Yellow Jacket

As soon as Yuzhu arrived at the Zhangjiakou hall, eight royal guards in yellow jackets and yellow belts rushed to report on flying horses, saying, "Protect Yuzhu's safety."

As soon as these yellow-belt guards showed up, Yuzhu immediately thought of the incident in the old TV series, where Yongzheng sent people to monitor Nian Gengyao.

If it was before, the old emperor had absolute confidence that he could control Yuzhu.

Now, the old emperor is still old after all, far less confident than before.

Yuzhu is not Nian Gengyao.

Nian Gengyao was just rampant and had absolutely no intention of rebelling against him.

As the saying goes, a dog that bites does not bark.

Yuzhu acted as if he hadn't seen these clan guards, gathered all the generals in the big camp in Zhangjiakou, and announced in public that he would send troops to Khalkha Mongolia.

According to Yuzhu's deployment, Ezu Celeng led the personal guards as the vanguard of the large army, followed by Sauron's iron cavalry from the Xishan camp.

After hearing Yuzhu's arrangement, Hongxi secretly rejoices, thinking that Yuzhu wants to borrow a knife to kill someone, so she volunteers to join Xishanying.

Of course Yu Zhu could not agree.

What a joke, if Hongxi died in battle, no matter how great Yuzhu's military exploits were, it would be easy for Gejue to go to prison.

This person, he can do many evils, and he can also be greedy for money and lust, but he can't be confused when it comes to matters of life and death!
If you stand in the wrong team, you will be struck by lightning!

After the army set off, everything else was easy to say, but those heavy artillery were more troublesome.

Once it rains, the wheels of the heavy artillery will sink into the mud and cannot move.

However, this kind of small difficulty did not bother Yu Zhu at all.

The principle of physics tells Yuzhu that the heavier the object, the larger the friction area needs to be.

On the way to the west, the artisans accompanying the army built hundreds of large pry boards.

When it rains, put the heavy gun on the pry board and slide in the mud.

With Celen, a knowledgeable Mongol leading the way, the entire army did not need to worry about getting water.

Along the way, Yuzhu continued to take out gold and silver, and exchanged high-wheel Lele carts, cattle, sheep, and pack horses with the grassland herdsmen.

Yuzhu was already very familiar with the situation on the prairie. Objectively speaking, if he wanted to speed up his march, he had to equip the green battalion soldiers of the whole infantry with this kind of high-wheeled chariot commonly used by the Mongols.

On the Mongolian prairie, the wheels of the carriage are not high, and it is impossible to pass through various ditches and ridges.

In the capital, a high-quality Mongolian horse is worth a lot, starting with a hundred taels of silver.

However, economic laws determine that the closer the product is to the place of origin, the less valuable the product will be.

The horses exchanged along the way cost at most a dozen or so taels of silver.

As for the pack horse, it is even less valuable, only a few taels of silver.

According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the army has the right to requisition any belongings of the herdsmen when they are on an expedition.

However, Yuzhu doesn't like to do this kind of robbing for nothing, he is more willing to exchange for equal value.

On the prairie, there are herds of cattle and sheep. As long as you are willing to give money, the herdsmen are willing to take the initiative to do business with you.

Ten oxen, pulling the heavy artillery together, moved forward every ten miles, and changed a group of strong oxen to pull it, without any effort.

The fly in the ointment is that every night when camping, there will be groups of Mongolian girls riding horses to provoke Yuzhu's men.

Mongolian women like to seduce passing merchants or sergeants, the main reason is that simple genetic optimization is required.

As we all know, continuous inbreeding, the children born, have a high probability of being born with disabilities, or very short-lived.

In severe cases, even the genocide will be exterminated due to the punishment of God.

Yuzhu also knew how to be flexible, except for restraining the soldiers of the new army and the Huoqi Battalion, the rest of the troops were left alone.

After the army left for a month, Hutus Fortress was already in sight.

At this time, all the pack cattle in the army were replaced by camels.

Camels are very durable, and each camel can carry 300-400 jin of cargo, and they eat grass and drink less water during the journey, which is most suitable for the arid climate in the northern region and the transportation needs of the Mongolian plateau.

Fighting on the Mongolian prairie, Yuzhu is still the old rule, spreading heroic posts along the way, inviting Mongolian warriors who are short of money to bring their own dry food, horses, and weapons to participate in legal robbery activities.

If it is an ordinary person, the appeal is obviously not good.

Yuzhu was different. He had recruited Mongolian cavalry several times and led them to rob, and his reputation was really good.

After entering Celen's territory, I counted them carefully, good guy, these scattered cavalry actually exceeded the [-] mark.

In the last years of Kangxi, the life of ordinary Mongolian herdsmen was not easy.

The reason is actually very simple. After the old emperor divided the pastures for each of them, he strictly prohibited the tribes from merging with each other.

In a word, whoever dares to provoke an annexation war first, the Qing Dynasty will take all the nearby Mongolian tribes and destroy them together.

A few days later, Celen's outpost guards had discovered the traces of the Raksha people, and the Hutus Fortress was still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty.

Well, on the endless prairie, the two armies are fighting, and there is no extra work, the main thing is to confront each other head-on.

The weather is beautiful, the sky is clear and cloudless, just right for the decisive battle.

Major General Oscar Viktorovich Stark, holding a binoculars in his hand, observed carefully for a while.

Stark obviously noticed that the Qing army phalanx on the opposite side was extremely dense, but there was no trace of artillery.

"Haha, these yellow-skinned monkeys from the Far East are too self-sufficient!" Stark said arrogantly.

Stark is the governor of Kuznetsk in the Far East of the Raksha Kingdom. This time he recruited most of the Raksha people from Tomsk, Bratsk, and Yenisesk to invade the south.

His purpose is actually strategic.Occupy part of Khalkha Mongolia, open up the passage to Junggar in the south, and finally advance to the Indian Ocean.

From the successive tsars of the Rakshasa Kingdom to the successive leaders of the Soviet Union, they all hope to have a dream-like high-quality ice-free port in the Indian Ocean region.

This strategic goal was passed down from generation to generation until the Soviet Union imploded before it came to an abrupt end.

While Stark was observing the formation of the Qing army, Yu Zhu was also holding a binoculars in his hand to carefully study the formation of the Raksha army.

Since modern times, the army's combat mode has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In layman's terms, when the army is engaged in battle, that is to say, after the cannons are fired, the cavalry rushes.The cavalry couldn't move, so they fired again.Finally, it's up to the infantry to fight hand-to-hand and sweep the field.

According to Yuzhu's observation, although Stark's troops had dozens of cannons, they were all small ones that were easy to move.

The main reason is that the industrial heartland of Eastern Europe in the Raksha Kingdom is too far away from the Khalkha Mongolian region.

In the absence of the Trans-Siberian Railway, material transportation in the Far East of the Raksha Kingdom is extremely difficult.

"Order the firearms battalion, prepare the heavy artillery!" Yu Zhu decisively issued the combat order.
