Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

At this moment, not only were more than ten thousand Expeditionary forces trapped inside of the Tangwan Mountain's fortifications, even His Majesty the Tsar's' brother-in-law 'Akson was trapped inside.

It was all because of greed.

Xiao Letian explained the process of the Southern Wing's victory to Fajeev, especially the part about using gold as bait.

"Actually, the difference between a strategist and a Tactician is that a Tactician can't do anything. They can't stop watching, they can't help but be very passive!"

"On the other hand, the strategist will not focus on a single battle. The strategist will always think of all sorts of ways to make the battle proceed in the way he hopes to …"

"strategist is like Yu the Great. In the face of war, they would dig ditches to direct the enemy, while the tacticians would dig ditches to direct the enemy. They would stop wherever there is danger …"

"At the moment, the Russian Empire is facing a very serious financial crisis. The abolitionist system has already persisted for several years, I'm afraid that it is already a time for many white flags to cash in, right? "All of you are in need of money in the wild …"

"The United States is at war, Prussia is at war, France is about to go to war... In order to cope with the impending war, all the countries went all out to raise their weapons! And all of this requires money … "

"I've seen your Burdan Rifle's performance, it can only be considered passable. However, even this kind of weapon couldn't be equipped by the entire army, it's only because of you elite Cossack that we were able to get it in advance. So, it can be said that you lack a lot of money?"

"What about newer cannons? And the Iron-armored Ship? What about your dream of the Trans-Siberian Railway? "They all need money …" Xiao Letian rubbed his hands together, like a greedy merchant.

"It is because I have obtained this information that I was able to accurately deduce the financial crisis of the Russian Empire. That is the reason why I set up such a trap with gold …" What I have done is to think of a way to lure greedy soldiers to the Amami Oshima. This is what the strategist has to do … "

"Once you enter the Amami Oshima, how do you want to fight? I don't care about that at all … Where are we going to set up ambushes? Where are the artillery? Where are the reserve troops?

"Now do you believe the intelligence of the complete annihilation of the southern front line? "To be honest, there's no need for me to lie to you at all …"

These words caused Fajeev to be speechless. He was very clear that even if he were in Expeditionary forces, facing such a sweet pie, he would not be able to hold it in.

Xiao Letian sat in front of him and said calmly, "Alright, after we finish speaking, let's go south. I'll tell you guys again... "If I were you, I would never strictly carry out the command of the tsar. I would fight according to my thinking..."

"Chinese militarists have a saying, 'one cannot accept orders from the outside world'. That is to say, since you have carried the Tsar's wish to come to the Far East, you should have the courage to change the Tsar's strategy!"

"In the Far East, where telegrams don't work, you expect the tsar to command the army himself? Are you kidding? Can his familiarity with this land surpass yours? "

"You dare to march in such cold weather without proper supplies? "Damn, how much did you underestimate your opponent?"

His earlier words had really hit the mark! He did not view the loyal troops as his biggest enemy, in his heart, he only saw them as bullying the Haishenwai's weak troops, with few supplies. They were just a bunch of peasants who put down their scythes.

In Fajeev's heart, as long as the invincible Cossack used a charge of cavalry, she would not even need to use her rifle to fight her way through these thugs.

"Am I right? "You guys are looking down on us, thinking that this group of thugs is not a threat at all. This is the first time you've made such a mistake!"

"The second mistake is that you look down on the defending army of the Qing Dynasty. The victory from before burned your brains out and the Beijing treaty took away so much land. It has been a few years since you started stirring up trouble in Xinjiang, but Zuo Zongtang has yet to come out of Jade Gate Pass, do you think that the Qing dynasty has already exhausted all of their Qi?

"You guys look down on the army of the Qing Dynasty. You guys think that all the officials of the Qing Dynasty are trash like T?pchin?

"But you're wrong. An empire that has lasted for more than 200 years, do you really not have many tough bones?" The appearance of the Hun Chun has broken your wishful thinking … I can also tell you one more thing, the Great Qing's Emperor Tongzhi is really in the Haishenwai, on my invincible warship! "

Fajeev's face had already turned ashen. "What else? If you were to say everything in one breath, even if I were to die, I can still be a ghost! "

"Third point... And also the most important point, is that the Haishenwai city … " Xiao Letian stared straight at Fajeev: "This city has already become your inner demon, we call this city Haishenwai, what is your name?"

"Vladimir Vostok... Translating it into Chinese meant guarding the cities of the East, right? "Your ambitions are really too great. Using this fine port city as a springboard, you definitely want to gain access to China, right?"

"If I'm not wrong, in your empire's strategic plan, the next good port is on the Liaodong Peninsula, right …"

"Don't look at me with that foolish gaze. The secret that you all think you have is actually a piece of paper in the eyes of the strategist …"

"Britain and France have blocked all the ports for Russia to enter the Atlantic Ocean. The Baltic Sea is an inner sea, so the British do not even need to send fleet. As long as you build a large number of cannons in Denmark and other places, your shipping lanes can be tightly sealed."

"You want to break out from the Black Sea? Are you kidding? The Crimean War has beaten you up enough, right? So what if you control Turkey? The Mediterranean Sea is also an Inland Sea! "

"You want to break through from Central Asia? You want to find an opening in the Arabian Sea? Dream on, will the British army in India agree? "

"The only way out is in the east. The Treaty of Beijing between China and Russia, aren't you supposed to be the greatest victor of the Empire after Crimea's defeat? The fact that this city of the Haishenwai has fallen into your pockets is the only achievement that you Tsar have been able to brag about, right? "

"This city carries too much of your emotions, and it also maintains Russia's strategic interests. It even concerns the tsar's face, so you must have received a death order, an iron order to be absolutely safe, right?"

"Hahaha, you have no other choice. That's why fifty thousand Cossack s have to crawl along a thousand mile journey while snowing on ice, and that's why you all have to lower your heads and bribe T?pchin to pass by. Haishenwai's flesh and blood has already caused you all to lose the ability to think!"

"These are the devils in your hearts, you can't stop them!"
