Chapter 2277
"how's it going?"
Liu Zheng seemed to have anticipated this situation and asked calmly.
Jiang Xuan knew that Liu Zheng was under a lot of pressure now, so he immediately said: "Over at Sakhalin Island, General Xiao's reinforcements have arrived... I have written to General Xiao to inform him, and he can send someone there.
To the extremes... But, Master, are there really people in those extreme areas?"
Liu Zheng smiled lightly.
Will there be anyone?
Of course!
What he is looking for is those people!
Nemesis of Tsarist Russia!
Chukchi!
Liu Zheng had actually known for a long time that the battle over Lake Balkhash would not be easy to fight. If Tsarist Russia had not occupied Lake Balkhash, it would have been fine, but once they got the initiative, it would be very difficult for them to get it back.
Tsarist Russia has been known as a fighting nation for generations.
In the era of cold weapons, this kind of fighting nation's advantages will be expanded several times.
Simply put.
Now Tsarist Russia has increased its troops in Lake Balkhash to 250,000. It is completely easy for these 250,000 to resist Longyan's 400,000 troops. In history, who is the most famous person in Tsarist Russia? What?
Ethnic group?
One, is the Cossack cavalry.
They are the same group of soldiers who now occupy Lake Balkhash.
So how strong is the Cossack cavalry? Napoleon once said, if I have a Cossack cavalry in my hands, he can sweep the whole world. The Cossack cavalry is definitely a pyramid-like existence among light cavalry. Their moving speed is equivalent to
It is fast, highly maneuverable, and highly lethal. It has achieved extremely brilliant results on the European battlefield. It beat Napoleon's troops to the point where they were all looking for teeth.
Known as "the best cavalry in the world"!
But fortunately, what is fortunate at present is that there are not many Cossack cavalry in the current army of Tsarist Russia.
Because the Cossacks served for Poland in the early days. Later they served for Tsarist Russia. It was Rumyantsev, the current commander of the Tsarist Russian Army, who was the governor at the time, and organized these Cossacks into ten regular cavalry regiments.
Empress Catherine began to expand around the Black Sea, and then truly brought the Cossack territory into the hands of Tsarist Russia.
but.
Here is a but.
People say that the Cossacks were the kings of the cold weapon era, but Liu Zheng knew that there was another group of people who were the real fighting nation!
That's the Chukchi!
Liu Zheng calculated the time points in history. Now is the period when Tsarist Russia is vigorously expanding. With the support of the Cossack cavalry, Tsarist Russia is almost dominating the world. With the force of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, Tsarist Russia has expanded its territory to the entire Far East. Finally,
, and also extended its hand to the Kamchatka Peninsula.
In terms of the progress of Tsarist Russia's eastward expansion at that time, they were almost invincible, crushing, and devastating in Siberia.
However.
Unexpectedly, the Cossack cavalry, who had won many battles, did not expect that they would encounter a natural enemy here.
That's the Chukchi!
In the first conflict with the Chukchi people in the Battle of Berlin River, they were beaten to pieces by the Chukchi people. Even their leader Shestakov was shot dead on the spot!
Naturally, Tsarist Russia couldn't swallow this breath, so it continued to send Cossack cavalry to attack Chukotka...
I just didn't expect it...
This fight lasted for more than thirty years. Not only were the Chukchi not defeated, but they became stronger and stronger as they fought. However, the Cossacks, who were known as the best cavalry in the world, left countless corpses here.
In the end, Tsarist Russia had no choice but to pass the "Regulations on the Administration of Aliens", a law that recognized the independence of the Chukotka region and stated that the Chukotka people enjoyed the privilege of being exempted from labor and never paying taxes...
This was unique in the territory of Tsarist Russia.
So, as you can imagine...
This Chukchi man is so capable of fighting.
Ancient Yaksha country!
According to legend, this Chukchi man was tall and ferocious in appearance.
At this historical point, Liu Zheng can make good use of this ethnic group.
