Ming Zuo

Chapter 1757 Irreconcilable Contradiction
"From Kuznetsk to Barguzin to Yakutsk, everything was under attack. Lord Andrei's appeal for help was sent almost every day. I don't think that the Khitans attacked us without premeditation. "

Besnetsov, the governor of Tomsk, was in a very pessimistic mood.

Before Gudenov arrived, he sent reinforcements in response to the attack on Kuznetsk.But it has been more than two months so far, and there is no news at all.

This made him realize that the enemy is very powerful.

Gudenov is also a little numb.

Looking at the map, Besnetsov has notified more than ten thousand miles.

And if such a vast area was attacked at the same time, no fool would believe that the empire had no premeditation.

"Moscow needs to do its best to solve the lower reaches of the Dnieper River. In any case, the situation in the Far East must be stabilized. This is our job. Maybe it works properly, and there is still a chance."

After resting in Tomsk for half a month, Gudenov set off again after completing the supplement.

Now that the Wehrmacht was spotted near Kuznetsk, and the distance was close, he headed in that direction.

As a result, after walking for about fifteen days, as soon as they arrived at the banks of the Yenisei River, they saw some uniformed East Asian cavalry on the other side of the river.

Gudenov recognized it immediately.

This is the regular army!
At the very least, it is impossible for Russian explorers to have such neat uniforms, and it is impossible for the aborigines here to have such good costumes.

He was right in guessing that the officers and soldiers of the Second Cavalry Division were on the other side of the river.

Seeing the Russians appear, they quickly entered a state of combat readiness.

However, the two sides were separated by a big river hundreds of meters wide, so they couldn't fight at all, they just guarded each other.

"Immediately report to the division headquarters, the identity of the Russian on the opposite side is unusual."

Just as Gudenov recognized the Wehrmacht, the officers and soldiers of the Second Cavalry Division also noticed the abnormality.

Since fighting the Russians, they have basically encountered beggar-shaped Cossacks.

Although the Cossacks are brave and good at fighting, they are not the regular Russian army after all. They have various costumes and no organization at all.

The Russians on the other side of the river wore uniforms of bright uniforms and were well armed.

Could it be that reinforcements from Moscow have arrived?
This conjecture made the officers and soldiers of the Second Cavalry Division a little nervous and surprised.

Because according to the speculation above, even if Russia wants to support the Far East, it will not arrive until next spring.

If it appears now, it can only show that Russia's mobilization ability is somewhat amazing.

Zuo Shi's division was right behind, and after getting the news, he didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly led the Fourth Cavalry Regiment to rush over.

When we got there, we found out that it was a false alarm.

Because during this period of time, Gudenov had already sent people across the river with a white flag to inform them of their purpose.

The high-level leaders of China and Russia held their first informal meeting on the banks of the Yenisei River.

"General Zuo, Russia has never had any enmity with your country, why do you invade our territory for no reason? Although Russia is big, there is not a single inch of land that is superfluous."

As soon as Gudenov came up, he asked the teacher to blame him.

Zuo Shi smiled contemptuously and immediately fought back.

"Russia's territory is in Europe, and this is Asia. When did it become Russian territory?"

Gudenov was secretly startled.

Originally, he thought that the empire was far away in East Asia, and he didn't know much about the situation in Russia and the extreme north, so he could use it to make a big fuss.

Unexpectedly, a mere military general would reveal the history of Russia.

But with Russia's interests on his back, he naturally refused to budge.

"The land under our feet had no owners. After hundreds of years of development, we Russians have declared our sovereignty. This is a fact."

Zuo Shi decided to have a good fight with him.

"You are wrong. These lands originally had owners. They originally belonged to the Mongol Yuan Empire established by the Mongols, and the Mongol Yuan Empire is part of our Chinese history. In our China, the Ming Dynasty inherited the legal system of the Yuan Dynasty, and our The empire inherited the legal system of the Ming Dynasty. That is to say, our empire has the right to inherit these lands. What you did in Russia is an unwarranted invasion of the empire's territory. Here, I would like to inform your Excellency, and immediately notify your country. Withdraw from the territory, otherwise, the empire will take more drastic measures to investigate."

Now that the empire has resorted to force, what are the more drastic measures to pursue?
Gudenov was a little flustered.

He never thought that Zuo Shi would actually tell him about history.

He doesn't know the history of China, but he knows the Mongols.

After all, the former Russia was also occupied by the Mongols and became a vassal state of the Golden Horde.

Wait, is it true that according to Zuo Shi's theory, Russia has also become an inherent territory of the empire?
Gudenov was a little annoyed.

"General Zuo's remarks are pure nonsense. What has the matter of the Mongolian Yuan Empire to do with our two countries?"

Unexpectedly, hearing his remarks, Zuo Shi was secretly delighted.

It turns out that this senior Russian official did not know the detailed history of the Mongolian Yuan Empire!

In fact, after Kublai Khan competed with Ali Bak for the Khan throne, the remaining Mongolian Khanates did not recognize the Yuan Dynasty and became independent countries one after another.

In other words, according to this fact, the empire naturally has no legal right to inherit the West Siberia region.

But since the Russians didn't know, how could Zuo Shi not take the opportunity to confirm this relationship?

No one knows Zuo Menggeng better than him.

When Zuo Menggeng said that he was going to Moscow to watch the sunrise, he definitely did not just talk about it casually.

Although Russia may not be really eliminated, it is certain that Russia will be driven back to Europe.

After fully studying the terrain, Zuo Shi also believed that driving Russia back to Europe was the most correct approach.

This country is really too greedy for territory, and actually fumbled from such a small piece of territory to the side of the empire.

God knows if they will infiltrate the empire's territory if they are not punished.

Only when Russia is completely defeated, will the northern border of the empire remain peaceful.

In Zuo Shi's view, the Ural Mountains, the Volga River and the Caspian Sea became the western border of the empire, which is the best plan.

The meeting between the two eventually broke up unhappy.

Of course, Zuo Shi is the general on the front line and has no power to make decisions on behalf of the empire.

He sent a company to escort Gudenov's delegation to the Western Regions.

This means that Zuo Menggeng happened to be in the Western Regions, otherwise, he would have to go to Jinan.

"Teacher, what shall we do?"

Knowing that the Russian delegation had come to negotiate, all the generals below couldn't sit still.

Seeing their tangled expressions, Zuo Shi was furious.

"Look at your virtues, what does political negotiation have to do with us? Of course we do what we have to do. The order goes down, the whole army gathers, and raid Tomsk."

Everyone was taken aback.

"Aren't you going to negotiate?"

"Is it against morality to do it now?"

Zuo Shi immediately scolded him.

"A group of idiots, this kind of negotiation can't be negotiated in three to five years? Besides, what can't be obtained on the battlefield, can it be obtained on the negotiating table? What we have to do is how much territory can be conquered before the agreement is signed Just lay down as much territory as possible."
