Crossing the Continent in the Eighteenth Century

As a good man, I have reasons to do what a good man should do, so I decided to send these prisoners to Kiev first.On the way, we let the passing villages and towns spontaneously bring food and serfs to the Roman camp around Kiev in order to obtain legal recognition.

It took the army less than three days to rush from Kiev to the Uzh River Ferry, and it took a full eleven days to return from the Uzh River Ferry to Kiev.

In the evening, I sent a messenger to the camp to report the news, and asked them to pick up the captives I brought at the designated place at noon the next day. When I announced the news to the captives, many people actually showed expressions of reluctance... There are still people in this world who are captives and show affection. Am I really too kind to them?

After handing over at the designated location, I embarked on the journey of mopping up again.In fact, it was called a mopping up, but it was basically me betraying the legal right to recognize it, and letting the local local snakes hand over the grain, winter clothes and serfs, and transport them to Kiev.

Assassin was very puzzled: "Didn't Master Zimiskia tell us to collect all the grain from the farms near Kiev? Why do we only ask them to hand over half of it? This is different from the meaning of thorough sweeping."

"Now is not the time to let them go. Our task is to restrain the large Russian army. If they know that we are clearing the strong wall before they start, they will probably guess that we have no intention of capturing it. Kiev. And in exchange for the recognition of legal rights, let those landowners transport grain to Kiev. This may help us confuse the Russian generals. Let them mistakenly think that we will establish a long-term rule around Kiev. In this way , they will misunderstand that Kiev is the main battlefield for Rome’s main attack.” General cleaning is a technical task, if you pick up a knife and start to rob, the Russians will see that Rome is completely robbed and left, so they will not drive the main force down. .

"Then what happened to the family members of the Polish nobles? Why did we waste time bringing them back? Anyway, you didn't find a mistress from there, so you just let the first team bring them back." Assassin said to that A huge group of **s were sent out to remember.

"Didn't we have a large group of Polish friends in the north? I went far away to make them make trouble. As for sending the families of the Polish nobles to Kiev, have you forgotten the atrocities of the Polish land turtles who followed us? Although Poland has always The military traditions of the Middle Ages are preserved, but no one has ever violated noble families. But this time is different, let the families of the Polish nobles go back to Kiev, and as soon as the news spread, the Polish nobles on our side want to You have to be a little more scruples if you change your family."

"You mean, we are taking their things for nothing now, but we won't guarantee their legal rights?"

"Yes."

"Okay, now I feel that even if those Polish landlords conceal and pay less than half of their stored grain, I won't have a hard time. So where are we going now?"

"Go back and join our cavalry."

Two cavalry battalions are waiting for us at the Wuri River Ferry. Their harvest is very good. Although there are not as many horse convoys intercepted by the main river crossing, the valuables carried by the noble families will not mean less.But when I saw a few battalion commanders handing me two pineapples that were about to rot, I was still very surprised.

"Who would be so weird to take a pineapple on the way to escape?"

"Pineapples are very precious in Germany and Poland, and I don't even have them in my family. These home decorations tend to rot after a short period of time, and they can always be kept at home, which is a symbol of precious status!" Fredelia I stared at the two pineapples and expressed my emotions, "Your subordinates are really good at flattering. Knowing that pineapples are a symbol of status, I quickly brought them to you."

"That's for you."

Throwing two pineapples to Felicia who is a treasure, I will make up for her regrets in life.And after getting the Chasseurs, I let them ride fast horses to spread in the surrounding villages, continuing the propaganda that as long as we hand over the food, the serfs will get legal rights.

——————————————————————————————————————

On December 12, almost two months after the Russians were declared war by Rome, the Polish King Nyatowski I rushed from Moscow to Minsk with the appointment of the commander.

As a lover, Nyatovsky believes that he is not as simple as being good in bed.Well, although compared to others, Nyatowski thinks that his bed skills are better than 01:30, otherwise how could he serve the queen to grant him a Poland!But he still felt that the Queen must have picked him out of so many lovers to become the king of the Poles because he must have taken a fancy to his ability to govern the country.Becoming the king of Poland to rule over a territory of 10,000+ square kilometers undoubtedly makes Nyatowski the number one lover among the Queen's many lovers!

Whenever Nyatovsky sees those little boys who see him unhappy, he always has an inexplicable pleasure, but recently, when he goes to and from the court, he always sees those little boys who seem to be laughing at him.This is also something that can’t be helped. Look at the subjects in the Ukrainian region. Nyatovsky can always hear in the court which town, which nobleman handed over to him in the month since the Romans killed Kiev. In exchange for food and serfs, they swore allegiance to the Romans, and many families of Polish nobles in Kiev who were sent into the city by the Romans confirmed this.

"Those damned Polish cowards, they will always have to pay the price!" Nyatowski wanted permission to fight with the army this time, and he wanted to let people see his status as the king of Poland through this war. majesty!

Arriving in Minsk, Nyatovsky immediately announced the commander-in-chief against Rome. After discussions with the Moscow Military Council, General Vasily Vladimirovich Dolgoruky, who was traveling with him, was the Commander of the South.

Minsk, the luxurious palace building where the headquarters of the Russian commander-in-chief is located. The famous Russian general Peter asked the veteran Vasily: "What is the name of this dispatch?"

Vasily raised his eyes and said in a flat tone: "Help the Polish king put down the rebellion."

"It turns out that the queen doesn't want to expand the war." Burkhard, another famous Russian general of German origin, immediately understood the intention of only helping the Polish king to quell the rebellion.

"Helping Poland counter the rebellion. In the name of this, we can only fight as far as the Black Sea coast. We have to stop after crossing that line." Peter shook his head slightly regretfully.

"Although the queen has no intention of entering Constantinople, we must kill the [-] Romans who went north to besiege Kiev! So that their group of short men in the south will know how powerful we are in Russia!" Nyatovs said now The one thing I am most concerned about is, "When will we send troops?"

Vasili looked at the heavy snow falling outside the window and asked, "Where is the main attack direction of the Romans, have you figured it out?"

"It should be Kiev!" Peter said.

Burkhard was still not sure: "It might be Kiev."

Vasily already had a conclusion in his mind, but he still wanted to hear the thoughts of the two new stars in the army. Peter said carelessly: "The means used by Rome in the area around Kiev are enough to show that they want to fight us in Kiev! Because Only by defeating us here, their previous work will not be in vain, it seems that these southerners still don’t understand the horror of severe winter, they are too arrogant.”

Burkhard wondered: "By offering food in exchange for legal recognition of the land, Rome has no shortage of food under the city of Kiev, and quickly won the support of local landowners, since they want to have a long-term foothold after the war. With this plan in mind, why did they only surround Kiev and not attack? Rome has more than enough troops to capture Kiev."

"The Romans are just creating an illusion. Creating the illusion that they are besieging Kiev. Maybe not long after we sent troops south to Kiev, we encountered those Greeks on the road. Defeat us, and then the people in Kiev will have the heart even if they want to hold This is much better than head-to-head." Vasili smiled proudly, a veteran is a veteran, no matter how good the records of a few new stars are, they are inexperienced, and even the little Romans have little thought. Can't see it.

Nyatowski felt ignored: "So should I call my vassals to fight?"

"No, we don't need those Poles." Vasily said conceitedly, "We Russians can defeat those Greeks by ourselves. Bringing them is just a waste of military rations. They can't do anything except eat. But the king of Poland Your Majesty can still return to Warsaw to make preparations and bring your mistresses. Remember, we will leave after December."

"so late?"

"It's not too late. Severe winter appears at the end of November. By January, those Romes have been almost destroyed. It will be completely effortless to defeat them by then!"
