The next morning.

No words all night.

However, at night, Nikan was still a little nervous. Although he was confident in himself, nothing was absolutely true in this world, let alone Sun Sick, who had been here for ten years?

Every two hours, the gray-clothed guards used the Grand Duchy's post road to travel from Minsk to Crimea to send messages. About a day after Sun Sic left, Nikan was relieved because on this day he asked Sun Xiulan to confiscate the military power of Sun Dean's personal army commander who was guarding Mir Castle and let Lehn take over.

Unexpectedly, the process was not at all disturbed. When I heard that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to personally control this army, the commander, a Cossack descendant from Ukraine, was the Cossack descendant of Poltava Mansion east of the Dnepr River, and handed out his seal without hesitation.

Before the Daxia Kingdom occupied it, part of the Cossacks entered Russia to the north. After the Daxia Kingdom took it from the Grand Duchy of Ukraine, some of the Cossacks migrated to the west coast. There were not many Cossacks left on the east coast, with only more than 20,000 households in total, and this person was one of them.

Mikhaichenko, one of the young Cossacks that the Great Xia Kingdom focused on cultivating, built the Chasik saber and practiced riding and shooting at the age of ten. In the year of thirteen, he entered the New Datong Primary School to study, and finally entered the Crimean Cavalry School in Zaporoze, the Great Xia Kingdom to study. Later, he stayed in Minsk as Sun Dean's personal soldier for three years. At the age of twenty-five, he became the deputy commander of Sun Dean's personal soldiers.

This is a student who entered all levels of the Daxia country with some Cossack cavalry skills. The principal of the Zaporore Cavalry School is Ji Jiajie, who was second only to Xiao Alin in the Daxia country in Ji Lun.

What Nikan didn't know was that in the Cossack prairie, he already had the reputation of "real sun khan". Those who had this title before were the Huns Attila and the Mongols Badu, but it was not obvious. Unexpectedly, in the Dnieper, Don, Attila, and Sarideg River basins, the name Nikan "Sun Khan" spread, and few people knew about Bogda Khan.

From Mikhaichenko, Nikan couldn't help but feel glad that he gave up ordinary herders and focused on cultivating their next generation.

Nikan, the Grey Guard, who is responsible for the entire eastern coast of the Baltic Sea and headquartered in Minsk, is about to receive the Central Committee. Although he has set up the structure of a grand priest here on the surface, he is actually managed according to a province. Originally, he believed that the leaders of the Grey Guard were all graduated from Yangdu School and trained. Although he accepted the dual jurisdiction of Sun De'an and the Central Committee, with his prestige, he would still report to him if there is any abnormal movement in the territory. Unexpectedly, not only did he not receive any valuable information in the past ten years, but also the Government and the Privy Council.

So, this time, he did not bring Wang Wenhui with him, but asked him to rectify the gray-clothed guard in Minsk.

"Since you have reached this point, just re-demarcate this place into a province. If Europeans want to convince themselves, it may not be enough to crush them by force. You might as well build a university in Minsk or Konisburg, recruit young talents from all over the European countries, and promote the culture, technology and philosophy of the Great Xia Kingdom without reservation."

"My country has nearly thirty years of basic industrial practice. It is not easy for them to catch up. This is not something that can be achieved by a university. Since it is already heresy in their eyes, just promote our country's new cosmology and let their barely agree-based solar center science shivering in front of the cosmology of Daxia!"

"As for the courses, there is no engineering, but mathematics, physics, and chemistry are all open. With Chinese, music, art, and philosophy, it makes this place a cultural center in Europe, making Chinese a second language in Europe except for its mother tongue! And be proud of Daxia language!"

But he thought of Sun Dean again, "Although this boy is a little disobedient, there is no big mistake in governing the country in order over the past ten years. If his status as a grand prince is suddenly cancelled, wouldn't it be too ruthless?"

But when he thought of this son's past behavior and his performance in the Osk Sect, he still made up his mind, "He is the founding king, and his civil and military skills are tremendous to the past and present. He has no prejudice against civil and military officials and his children, and he can be roughly impartial. He is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and is not an elderly and foolish person. In this case, they rely on their motherland in terms of force, financial resources and technology, but they regard themselves and the central government as nothing in other aspects. In the long run, America, Africa and other places can completely follow the example, and this trend must not last long!"

With Mikhailchenko's precedent, Nikan's confidence increased greatly. He decided to go to the northeastern border of Minsk and take a look at the Aola city of Smolensk, a Russian border, near the Russian border.

This time, he did not bring all the Shenwu Army with him, but only Len's five hundred personal guards, plus Mikhailchenko's 1,000 were from Cossacks, but they were all Cossacks who graduated from the Zaporoze Cavalry School. Of course, these Cossacks were actually tiger cavalry in the Hanhai Army sequence.

One thousand five hundred riders galloped along the Minsk to Orsa.

Orsa is about 400 miles away from Minsk, and like Smolensk in Russia, it is a castle along the Dnieper River. In the last Russian-Polish war, Orsa was burned by the Russians, but the framework is still there. Since the rise of the Romanov dynasty, the Poles have also attached great importance to it. The city of Orsa is ten miles in radius and can be stationed 10,000 troops. After the Daxia Kingdom took over, a large number of steam engines were transferred from the local area, cutting stones and firing bricks and tiles. The city was restored in less than a year. According to the consistent regulations of the Daxia Kingdom, simple military forts will be set up in important places unless absolutely necessary.

Near Aalborg is the Great Plains and fertile black soil. How can the Great Xia Kingdom let go of such a place? There are 3,000 immigrants here. Together with the Minsk farmers adjusted here, the total number is close to 5,000. In addition, in Vitebsk to the north of Orsa and Mogilev to the south, the total household registration is close to 20,000, which are three major counties close to the Russian border.

"Your Majesty, Orsa is about two hundred miles away from Smolensk. Our country only has one cavalry brigade there, but the Russians have a legion in Smolensk, with three infantry brigades and one cavalry corps, all of which are new-style legions."

"This legion is a permanent legion in Smolensk. Because the commander, brigade commander, and commander are all nobles with titles, their serfs also came here with them. This place was originally the territory of the Kingdom of Poland, but the residents were mostly Russians. When the former Tsar was in power, both sides fought in Smolensk for a series of battles. In the end, the Russians obtained this place. Now, in addition to the strong castle, there are also a large number of farmlands around, which can quickly mobilize at least ten thousand serf soldiers."

While heading towards Orsa, Mikhaichenko introduced the situation on the border to Nikan. When he heard this, Nikan was uncommon. Sun Dean reported all of this information to the central government. It was estimated that he had only two legions in his hands, and the surrounding Lithuania, Swedes, Russians, Poles, and even Ukrainian standing troops far exceeded him. He reported these situations truthfully, and his idea was to let the central government send more troops.

But Nikan thought much more than his son.

"In Minsk alone, there are naturally not many troops. However, Crimea, which is separated from Minsk, has four legions mainly composed of cavalry. In addition, the newly transferred Sun Xiugang infantry army and five legions, any surrounding forces have to consider it if they want to act rashly. Minsk is just a pretext on the surface."

"What is the brigade commander of the Orsa Cavalry Brigade?"

In fact, Nikan knew everything, but he wanted to take Mikhailchenko. This Cossack, who spoke fluent Daxia Mandarin, was lucky enough to study in the Zaporoze Cavalry School and could also become a high position equivalent to a brigade commander at the age of twenty-five. Of course, it was not just Sun Dean's confidant, but it must be outstanding.

According to Wang Wenhui's understanding, this person has outstanding cavalry skills and is calm and generous, but the light that flashes on his face from time to time made Nikan dare not be completely relieved.

"Report to your Majesty, this person is Yelu Chu. He is the youngest son of Yelu Xingliao, the Sultan of the Khitan Alliance of the Caspian Sea North Coast. He is also twenty-five years old this year. He entered the Zaporore Cavalry School at the same time as the last general and graduated with him. He is proficient in Daxia literature and was originally trained as the military officer. However, when the Grand Duke saw that he was riding and shooting, he asked him to serve as the brigade commander of the Orsa Cavalry Brigade and serve as the military officer."

"It turned out to be him." Nikan suddenly remembered a person in his mind. When he led his army to sweep across Eastern Europe ten years ago, Yelu Xingliao, the leader of the Khitan alliance, one of the two major tribal alliances of Xiaoyuz of the Kazakh Khanate, could not help but decide to join the Daxia Kingdom on the spot, and also joined part of his tribe to the Bogra tribe, and at the same time, his youngest son, Yelu Chu, who was only fifteen years old at that time, entered the Dingyuan Mansion Primary Middle School to study. Unexpectedly, he later went to the Zaporore Cavalry School to study, and did not enter the Dingyuan Mansion Cavalry School to study.

Thinking of this, Nikan couldn't help but look at Mikhailchenko carefully, and he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

Mikhaichenko is completely an Eastern European Slav, with golden hair and white skin with freckles. He has grown short beards and his beard is also yellow.

As for the so-called Khitan Alliance, except for the tribe where Xiao Chenghan is located, the remaining tribes can basically be called Turkic tribes. Taking Yelu Xingliao as an example, this name was used privately. In formal occasions, his name is a large number of names, and his own name is actually Muhammad.

Although gray-brown hair is also white in skin, its skin color is obviously deeper than that of the authentic Slavs. Such a face is everywhere in the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.

An authentic Cossack, a Turkic man who claimed to be a descendant of the Yelu clan of the Khitan Kingdom, was actually completely Turkicized, plus the natives (collective names of Han, Mongol, and Soren), are the three major races in the current Crimean Governor’s jurisdiction.

On the Russian border, there is also a cavalry brigade stationed in Mogilev. The brigade commander is a descendant of Polish serfs named Kaczynsky.

In Lithuania, Nolbu, who was escorted by Sun Dean since childhood, served as the commander of the cavalry brigade, the eldest grandson of Shuolei Khan of the Chechen Khan tribe. The last time the Oskmen survived, Sun Dean's mother was Shuolei's young daughter, Gegentana, and it was appropriate to let Nolbu follow Sun Dean.

Nolb's station is in Braslav at the junction of Minsk, Lithuania and Riga (Latvia).

Nolb also served as the leader of the Gray Guard of the Grand Duchy and the deputy commander of Sun De'an's personal army.

The Cossacks, Poles, Turks, Mongols (already regarded as natives by Nikan), plus the only infantry army of Sunsick's army, the generals of the troops guarding the outer city of Minsk, were descendants of Han immigrants who migrated to Crimea, and various races had gathered in Minsk.

On the contrary, the Minsk locals have not yet served as senior generals above the brigade commander.

Two days later, the top of a church with a distinct Orthodox style in a large city sandwiched in the triangle at the intersection of the Dnieper River and its tributaries was exposed from the oak woods.

"Your Majesty, Orsa is coming soon"

Mikhaichenko was talking, a piece of dust was rolled up in front of him. Not long after, more than ten cavalry appeared in the dust. A young general with oriental characteristics but with very prominent facial features stopped about dozens of meters in front of Nikan.
