Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Far East Region, this is just what Sha Russia calls it. To the Qing people, this land is called Wusuli River Valley, Black Dragon River Basin, White Mountain Black Water, Narcissus Land, Orenechun Hunting Ground …

This vast piece of land was completely undeveloped in this era. All the cities did not have the slightest hint of modernization, there were no factories, there were no railways, and even there were very few common relay roads.

This was a place of protection that the Manchuria had left for themselves. In their hearts, even if Zhu Yuan Zhang appeared among the Han people a few hundred years later and chased them away, the final result would be the same as the Mongolian. He would continue to live on in the land of his ancestors for generations, and look for a chance to rise again.

It was a pity that things did not turn out as expected. The times had changed, and the surging rivers of the Middle Ages would not return. The Manchu did not wait for the Han people to break through the pass, and met the more brutal barbarians from the far north.

The Russian, a nation that no one did not know of in Kang Xi's era, had once again swept over after a hundred years of silence. This time, not a single Holy Lord brought a Manchu or a Manchu along, as they sliced over a million square kilometers of land away without even a single outbreak of war.

As a result, the Manchu's Soaring Dragon ground became fragmented and fragmented, no longer the same as it used to be.

When he opened the map and looked at the Far East Region, it was basically split into four parts.

The Black Dragon River flowed westwards again. North of the Black Dragon River was the hunting ground for the Orenechun s and Outer Mongolian s that had been cut off by Sha'o. south of the river was the Black Dragon Province.

The Wusuli River flowed from south to north, finally converging with the Black Dragon River. The west side of the Wusuli River was the Black Dragon River and Jilin, while the east side was where the Narcissus and the hunting grounds of the Orenechun were. This included countless gathering areas for the Han people outside the border.

The Black Dragon River and the Wusuli River converged and changed their names to Amur River. They flowed northeast and into the Tatar Strait.

The main battlefield of this war was the East bank of the Wusuli River, because the main focus of the strategy for the Far East was on the Haishenwai. They needed a deep water port and the eastern starting point of a Siberian great railway.

On the contrary, the number of Russian soldier to the north of the Black Dragon River was extremely small. There were only one or two sentries on some of the major roads, and there were over a dozen people stationed there.

Xiao Letian's plan for this war was very clear. In April, the Black Dragon River was still in the stage of river sealing, and in the time of the late Qing, Earth had no greenhouse effect. The winter was long and cold, and to completely thaw the Black Dragon River, it would have to wait until the end of April and the beginning of May.

As the Far East Region had not invested much into the construction of Infrastructure, the official roads that were constructed were extremely sparse. Once a large area of the frozen earth in the fifth month dissolved, the entire white mountain and black water would become a pile of mud.

The army was most afraid of this kind of weather. The more modern the army was, the more they would rely on heavy equipment. Just the transfer of artillery was a big problem.

They had to finish off the Russian Army in April, and stop the enemy before the Russia's reinforcements arrived at the Amur River to prepare to cross the river.

Tens of thousands of Central Asia Cavalry Soldiers would take advantage of the fact that they could still travel on the surface of the river to attack them at the last moment, and the commander of the Russian Army was not an idiot, they knew that once the Amur River was unfrozen, the cavalry army would not be able to cross the river unless their troops grew wings.

In Far East Region, there were only a few people and their productivity was low. Although there were boats and timber everywhere, cutting and processing all required manpower and skills, but where could they find manpower?

Did he have to cross the river on a raft with tens of thousands of cavalrymen and war horses? Being a live target for the Chinese?

As long as Xiang Shaolong's army could hold on in the Amur River's decisive battle, guarding until the river was unfrozen, then there would be no suspense for the War of the Far East.

When the time comes, the Chinese will help them get through the difficult period of the founding of the. As long as it takes a summer and fall, the Far East will be able to train another fifty to sixty thousand regular soldiers to come out.

When that time comes, they would have guns, the Chinese would have money to back them up, and with constant diplomatic efforts, the strong would recognize the status of the Far East, and this country would be completed.

It sounded simple, but a battle needed to be fought step by step. Furthermore, this battle was extremely difficult.

First of all, the Haishenwai had to be settled quickly. This was the largest city in the Far East, and was also the location of the future capital.

After taking care of the Haishenwai, they would have to quickly head eight hundred li north, and build a defense line with the Southern Bank's Southern Bank even before the Russian reinforcements reached the river.

This was a contest of time, and it was also a contest of fire and blood. Not only did the volunteer troops have to compete for time with the Russia's reinforcements, they also had to compete for time with the warm weather.

Most importantly, in July, Xiao Letian and Zai Chun had to reach Europe. This was an unchangeable strategy that had been formulated already, even if the war in the Dragon Lord was not going well, the Zhiyuan Warship would have to leave by then.

From Asia to Europe, fortunately the Suez Canal had already opened up, allowing the journey to be reduced by one third. However, it still took them close to two months to make it there.

The year 1869 was a race against time, and the victor would eventually become the king of East Asia.

Prepare for war, prepare for war, prepare for war! While the Zhiyuan Warship was dashing towards the north, the vast area to the east of the Wusuli River had already become the main battlefield.

More than ten thousand Russian Army were hiding among the scattered Prism Castle in the main castle of the Haishenwai, and wherever they looked, the arrogant Chinese had already placed the attack front lines under their noses.

There were soldiers everywhere, an endless forty thousand strong army. The forest in the distance was decreasing every day, and the soldiers were cutting down a huge amount of timber to build a forward position.

The aboriginals of the Far East had all been mobilized, the Chinese, the Orenechun, the female Priestess, the Mongolian, the samurai … All the tribes that were not willing to be ruled by the Russian had sent out their best men.

Furthermore, they were rich and imposing. Gun s, cannons, bayonets and daggers made of Hundred Forging Steel, melon grenades, wood grenades, and even the Snowflake Marks that Fu Sang brought over, all of them were part of the same army.

Many of them were treasures that one would not even dare dream of obtaining. But as long as you worked with the General Xiang today, you would be able to obtain them.
