Chapter 3357

"Speak, father, listen!"

First Young Master Liu glanced at Liu Chengfeng out of the corner of his eye, and said calmly.

Liu Chengfeng nodded slightly, raised his head and wiped the sweat that had emerged from his forehead again, raised his feet and took a few steps forward, raised his hand to knock out the ashes in the smoke pot outside the window sill.

"Father, about the matter that my son doesn't want you to use troops against Tsarist Russia.

To tell the truth, baby, I have both selfish and public hearts. "

Liu Mingzhi spat out the tea stalk from the corner of his mouth, glanced lightly at Liu Chengfeng and said, "Is there selfishness? There is also publicity?"

Liu Chengfeng turned his head to look at First Young Master Liu, and nodded without hesitation.

"Returning to my father, it is exactly so."

Hearing the eldest son's affirmative tone, First Young Master Liu flicked the soot on his sleeve with his fingers.

"Public heart, selfish heart, which is more important.

Now that the two of us have already touched on this topic, you don't have to hesitate any more.

You just say what you really think in your heart.

For the father, I will still say the previous sentence, no matter how you answer, I will not blame you for the father. "

Seeing his father's calm expression, Liu Chengfeng took a deep breath, and gently put the pipe in his hand on the window sill.

Then, he pulled out his folding fan from his waist and swung it vigorously, his arms slightly raised to fan the cool wind.

"Father, whether you believe it or not, I can tell you for sure.

On the matter of sending troops to Tsarist Russia, my child, I do not agree that the public interest in this matter is greater than my own selfishness. "

When Young Master Liu heard the eldest son's serious answer, he frowned slightly, and turned to look at Liu Chengfeng with slightly narrowed eyes.

"Oh? Public intentions outweigh selfish ones?"

Liu Chengfeng nodded without hesitation, and looked at Young Master Liu with a calm expression, without any hint of dodge in his eyes.

"That's right, the child's public heart is greater than his own selfishness."

Young Master Liu rolled the pipe in his hand, turned around and walked out of the study.

"Come on, let's go outside for a while."

"Hey, here we come."

Liu Chengfeng picked up the pipe he had put on the window sill, and quickly chased after it.

After walking out of the room, Young Master Liu moved his body a few times with his arms raised high, and walked towards the small flower bed in the courtyard with a light smile.

He looked back at Liu Chengzhi who had already followed, and casually picked up the small iron rake on the flower bed.

"The public heart you said is greater than the selfish one. As a father, I would like to hear about it."

After speaking, Young Master Liu took the small iron rake in his hand and started to loosen the soil for the flowers and plants in the flower bed.

Liu Chengfeng saw that his father looked like an old farmer, very skillfully tending the soil of the roots of flowers and plants, and walked straight to the bucket beside him.

"Father, about the situation in Tsarist Russia, you have heard my son tell you about it, your daughter-in-law told you about it, and you also heard about it from the soldiers of the mission that followed my son and me to Tsarist Russia.

On the other hand, your understanding of Tsarist Russia comes from the sand table and map in the study.

However, you have never been to Tsarist Russia yourself.

Dad, you have never been to Tsarist Russia, so you don't know the specific situation in Tsarist Russia at all.

Let me tell you this, baby, the rich land in Tsarist Russia is indeed very rich.

However, the barren place on their side is also very barren.

The boy said that it was a bit barren there, and I have already said it in a good way.

To put it badly, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a barren land.

In my child's memory, many years ago, many people always said that the northern border of Dalong was mostly a place of bitter cold.

Including, the people in the prefectures of northern Xinjiang think so too.

Fortunately, God Fume, Northern Xinjiang has you, a one-word side-by-side king.

During those years, under the management of Daddy, the 27th Mansion in Northern Xinjiang finally gradually became prosperous.

The lives of the people are getting better day by day.

But, dad, do you know?

If we want to talk about the real place of bitter cold, compared with Tsarist Russia, the northern border of Dalong is nothing compared to the big witch, and there is no comparison at all.

Dad, what the boy is talking about is the northern border of Dalong many years ago, compared with the current Tsarist Russia. "

After Young Master Liu removed a relatively lush weed, he smiled and looked at Liu Chengfeng who was watering the flowers in the flower bed.

"So? Is it because Tsarist Russia is mostly barren and bitterly cold, so father can't use troops against it?"

Liu Chengfeng took the water ladle and filled the bucket with half a ladle of water, stood up and looked at Young Master Liu and shook his head gently.

"Father, that's not what my child meant.

Boy, I want to tell you that with the current situation of Tsarist Russia, if our Dalong rashly uses troops against Tsarist Russia, it can be said to be harmful but not beneficial. "

"Smelly boy, sprinkle water here, azaleas like water, sprinkle more."

When Liu Chengfeng heard the words, he immediately walked over with the ladle in his hand.

"Okay, the child understands."

First Young Master Liu lifted the hem of his clothes and tucked it around his waist, took the small iron rake in his hand, turned to the other side of the flower bed and stopped.

"One hundred harms but no benefit, where does the harm come from?"

"Father, in Tsarist Russia's situation, if you rashly send troops to Tsarist Russia, just the consumption of food and grass will be enough to embarrass us Dalong."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because of the conditions of the cities and the branches of the people in Issar Russia, our Dalong's soldiers and horses have almost no possibility of capturing food and grass to replenish themselves.

Even if it is possible to seize grain and grass, at best, only a small part of grain and grass can be seized.

However, the troops we Dalong will use here are around 30 or even 40 troops.

Using 40 or [-] troops at one time is compared to a small part of the food that may be seized.

Father, comparing the two, the captured grain and grass are nothing more than a drop in the bucket compared to the strength of the troops.

Moreover, the situations that Haier mentioned are only possible, and it is possible to seize the food and grass of Tsarist Russian soldiers and horses.

Conversely, if our Dalong's soldiers and horses can't even seize a grain of food, what kind of situation will it be?
The inability to seize food and grass to supplement ourselves means that all the food and grass consumed by our Dalong soldiers and horses must rely on the unilateral support of the imperial court.

In this way, starting from the territory of the Yin Mountains, to the territory of Lake Baikal, and then to the territory of Tsarist Russia.

With such a distance, just the consumption of food and grass transportation is enough to drag down the two richer state capitals in our Dalongbei Prefecture.

Not to mention the provision of food and grass for all expedition soldiers without any worries.

Hai'er roughly calculated that at least five to seven state capitals had to be allocated grain and grass.

Even, there will be more.

Consuming the food and grass of five, six or seven state capitals, or even more state capitals, turned out to be just a barren territory.

No matter how the account is calculated, it seems that it is not very cost-effective. "

While speaking, Liu Chengfeng took the water ladle in his hand and gently splashed it towards the flower bed.

First Young Master Liu patted the dirt on his hands, moved his position a few times, looked up at Liu Chengfeng and nodded with a light smile.

"You kid is right, but according to what you said, it's not worth it.

The war between the two countries is like doing business. In the final analysis, it is based on its own interests.

If your grandfather and his old man's big and small business firms have done such a business.

My father estimates that your grandfather will not be able to sleep well for at least three days and three nights.

Regarding this point, you kid sees it very thoroughly.

Come on, let's go on.

Besides this, is there any other problem? "

"Go back to Dad, yes."

Young Master Liu smiled and nodded to Liu Chengfeng while cleaning up the flowers that had faded in the flower bed.

"Then you can continue."

"Father, besides the issue of food and grass, what my son wants to talk about is the weather in Tsarist Russia and the terrain of mountains and rivers."

Hearing this, First Young Master Liu smiled lightly and leaned over a rhododendron flower and took a deep breath.

"The problem of the weather, the problem of the mountains and rivers.

To put it bluntly, that is the so-called right time and right place. "

"Daddy Shengming."

"Hahaha, hahaha."

Young Master Liu laughed a few times, and casually removed the wine bag from his waist.

"Stop flattering and keep talking."

Holding the ladle in his hand, Liu Chengfeng casually rolled up his sleeves, then looked cheerfully at the wine bag in Young Master Liu's hand.

"Father, give the child a drink too."

First Young Master Liu was slightly taken aback, and after realizing it, he watched Liu Chengfeng gently shake the wine bag in his hand a few times.

"drink wine?"

Liu Chengfeng grinned and nodded without hesitation.

"Hmm."

Seeing the decisive answer, Young Master Liu shook his head helplessly, and directly raised his head to drink a few mouthfuls of wine.

Immediately, he directly cursed and threw the wine bag in his hand towards Liu Chengfeng.

"Little bastard, you are really good enough.

You didn't learn much of the good things about your father and me, but you learned all the bad habits. "

With one lift of his arm, Liu Chengfeng firmly received the wine bag in his hand.

Then, like Young Master Liu just now, he directly raised his neck and drank several mouthfuls of wine.
Liu Chengfeng took a long gulp of fine wine, looked at Young Master Liu and said cheerfully, "Father, like a father, like a son.

Baby, I am so like you, you should be happy.

If the son is not like the father, then you will feel uncomfortable. "

Young Master Liu's expression froze, he grabbed a piece of dirt and threw it on Liu Chengfeng's shoulder.

"Fuck your mother, you kicked your nose on your face, right?"

Liu Chengfeng's expression tightened, and he shook his head generously.

"My child dare not, my child dare not."

"Then continue."

"Okay, okay, baby, tell me right away, baby, talk right away."

At this time, Liu Chengfeng's heart was no longer as tense as before.

At this moment, his heart is very clear.

It's not fake for my father to change his face, and it's not fake for him to curse at him.

However, his love for himself has never changed a bit.

Liu Chengfeng grabbed his sleeve and wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth a few times, then raised his left foot and stepped on the edge of the flower bed.

"Father, you don't know.

The weather changes on Tsarist Russia's side are very different from the weather changes on our Dalong side.

On our side of Dalongjing City, October and next month are already relatively early.

Even in Beijiang, Xinfu, and Beifu, there are not many places in October and next month.

However, in Tsarist Russia, it was completely different.

In some places in Tsarist Russia, when September just entered, some state capitals had already started to snow.

Among them, the more obvious places are some places just after Lake Baikal on the frontier of our Dalong.

And once it snows, it will snow heavily.

The kind of heavy snow that can cover the road and hinder the passage. "

Young Master Liu nodded with a smile, put down the small iron rake in his hand, and walked straight to the bucket next to the flower bed.

"In some places, it starts to snow in September?"

"Yes, it has just started to snow in September."

Young Master Liu bent over and cleaned the dirt on his hands in the bucket, then casually took off the carved jade fan pinned to the back of his neck, and happily walked towards the gazebo more than ten steps away.

Seeing this, Liu Chengfeng quickly threw the ladle in his hand into the bucket, and followed with his wine bag.

Young Master Liu went to the main seat in the gazebo and sat down, put the carved jade fan in his hand on the stone table, and grabbed a handful of nuts from the plate with a smile.

"Chengfeng, you can sit too."

"Hey, thank you dad."

Young Master Liu raised Erlang's legs casually, cracked open a nut and threw it into his mouth.

"It started to snow in September, you told my father and me about the situation.

He probably wanted to tell his father that once this season passed, it would be inconvenient to use troops. "

"Father Shengming, that's exactly what I mean.

Dad, it's almost March now, and in a few days, it will be April.

If you plan to use troops against Tsarist Russia now, you will face many problems.

It will take about one to two months to mobilize food and grass.

Even ignoring the consumption of grain and grass, it would take at least one and a half months to transport the grain and grass to the territory of Yinshan on the border of Xinfu at the most correct speed.

In this way, the time will come to May and June.

Then, there is the question of mobilizing the troops and horses of the various ministries.

The soldiers and horses of the twelve guards of the Xinfu, and the soldiers and horses of the twelve guards of the Beifu can of course rush to the frontier of our Dalong at the fastest speed.

However, what about the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang and the soldiers and horses of the Six Guards of the New Army?
From the place where the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang and the Six Guards of the New Army are stationed, it is the distance to our Dalong Border Pass.

After they received your order, even if they rushed to the frontier at the fastest speed, it would take at least about a month.

The time it takes them to go to the frontier, plus the time it takes to transport food and grass.

Back and forth, big and small problems add up, at least until around July and August.

On the other side of Tsarist Russia, it will snow in September.

Under such circumstances, father, what is the point of mobilizing troops and horses? "
