Chapter 881 Emperor Zhu's Miraculous Calculation (Fourth Update, please subscribe)
"...With thousands of "Russian vodkas" falling, the Pleven fortress became a sea of ​​​​fire, the earth was set ablaze, and in the flames, in the billowing smoke, the Turks, they either died The sea of ​​fire will either be choked to death by poisonous smoke. In short, even the most tenacious Turks cannot persevere. Failure is already doomed. The once jubilant machine guns have become dumb, and the heavy artillery has become a decoration. The siege artillery was roaring, and their heavy artillery easily tore through the solid masonry of the Previn Fortress. Amidst the flames and shelling, the Previn Fortress fell.

With the capture of Osman Nuri and tens of thousands of Turkish troops, the Turks' resistance in Pleven ended!
September 9th will be remembered by the world as a day, a day... the Russians reduced the fortress to a show with "Russian vodka" and heavy artillery. "

"Huangming Times" - "Vodka - a gift from Russia"

When putting down the newspaper, the corners of Emperor Zhu's lips could not help but slightly raised. History has changed again. Originally, the Pleven Fortress was the most tenacious and powerful resistance that the Russian army encountered during the Tenth Russo-Turkish War. Osman Nuri, who was guarding the Pleven Fortress, was not only an excellent general, but also his will was extremely important and tenacious. Historically, on September 9, he once killed and wounded more than 11 Russian and Romanian coalition forces, which directly led to The collapse of Russian bonds saw the ruble lose more than a third of its value overnight.

And now?

In the battle on September 9, the Russian army easily destroyed the resistance of the Turkish army. It took only six days to use "simple incendiary bombs" made of more than 11 tons of waste oil to destroy the outer positions of the Turkish army and Previn Fortress.

"Russian vodka...isn't there no Motorov cocktail here?"

While talking to himself, Emperor Zhu couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

Such a famous thing was just buried like this... But it's good to be buried, after all, Daming will rely on tanks to run amok in the future.That cocktail isn't very friendly to tanks.

Scanning the newspaper again, Emperor Zhu shook his head lightly.

"Osman Nouri was captured after all."

As in history, although he was captured, his outstanding performance still won the respect of his opponents. Grand Duke Nicholas, the commander of the Russian Danube Army, came to comfort him when he heard the news of his capture:
"Although you have failed, the defense of the Preven Fortress must be a glorious page in military history."

When Tsar Alexander II asked him why he didn't surrender earlier, he still replied with the righteous words-"The country gave me guns for me to fight, not for me to surrender".

It's just that this guy may never have the chance to enjoy the heroic welcome he received when he returned to Istanbul, nor was he named "Gazi" (warrior) and promoted to marshal because of his outstanding performance in the war .

Because by the time he is released, Turkey is doomed to cease to exist!

Turkey!

"A full three months earlier than in history, which means that, at the earliest, they will arrive at the Bosphorus in November..."

The reason why Emperor Zhu came to this judgment is that in history, within two months after the end of the Battle of Pleven, the Russian army reached the Bosporus Strait—that is the time since the fall of the Bosporus in 1453. After that, the Christian army attacked here for the first time, only one strait away from Constantinople!
That was also the moment when Russia was closest to the dream of the "Roman Empire". Of course, that was the last time they had such a dream.Britain sent their fleet to the Bosporus Strait. With the support of the British, Russia's offensive was suppressed. Since then, Russia's expansion has turned to the east...

"Okay, now time is on Russia's side. As long as they seize this opportunity, they will definitely be able to take Constantinople. The general trend is mine!"

The general trend is with me!

When saying these four words, Emperor Zhu was filled with a certain emotion in his heart. What is this emotion?

Not only proud, but he moved the whole world.

With his efforts, the world has been completely changed by him.

Where this wildly aggressive beast ends up after Russia bursts out of the Bosphorus is anyone's guess, but one thing is certain - Britain.

"...After Russia completes his mission to restore the Eastern Roman Empire, Britain will fall into an extremely embarrassing situation. Russia's expansion in the west has reached its limit. Compared with the east...expansion to the south, whether it is Persia or India, are richer, the Russians..."

Pursing his lips, Emperor Zhu turned around and looked at Zuo Zongtang and said.

"Left Prime Minister, Ming's next diplomatic focus is to ensure that Russia will set their target in the south. In other words, it is to "chasing Russia and eating Britain."

His Majesty's order made Zuo Zongtang think for a moment, and then said.

"Your Majesty, "chasing Russia and eating Britain" is certainly a good suggestion, but Russia may not necessarily expand southward according to our ideas!"

In fact, this is what Zuo Zongtang admires most about His Majesty. As early as six years ago, he began to plan all this, and finally let Russia, France, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire go forward step by step according to His Majesty's plan, but this time Woolen cloth?

Zuo Zongtang couldn't help being a little suspicious.

"Russia's dream is Constantinople, and France's dream is to secure the throne. As for Austria-Hungary, it is nothing more than expansion. This time we tied them together with Turkey. What about the future? Compared with fighting Britain, They hope to digest the existing and upcoming fruits of victory!"

"That's the truth, but Zuoxiang,"

Emperor Zhu laughed.

"Let's not say that people are greedy, let's talk about Britain. Do you think Britain will let us carve up Turkey? Turkey, it's just the beginning of the war. As I said at the beginning, it's just a war. It's just a preview of the real world war, the real war is yet to come, the British are now looking for their allies all over the world, what do we need?"

With a sneer, Emperor Zhu said in a sarcastic tone.

"It's about making sure that Russia and France don't jump off the boat, that they continue to be closely aligned with us, as we want them to be."

"Russia and France..."

Zuo Zongtang frowned, and said a little surprised.

"Your Majesty means that the Austro-Hungarian Empire may disembark?"
