Chapter 43: The Sixth Great Era: Vinnitsa (Part 1)
Thin snow, black soil, mud, the land of Western Ukraine is in a mess.
Large fields, small clusters of forests surrounded the fields, the weather was still cold, but they were waking up.
When Suvorov led his troops south to Vinnica, Techina also went out.
To be honest, it is still risky to take down Techna, who has just been defeated in the Nogay area for six or seven years, with a whole army full of troops. At present, the Dnieper River has not yet woken up from the freezing. Peter III, located in Zaporoz, may cross the river to Kavbass Province at any time.
The militia with only light weapons cannot resist it, not to mention that most of the militia were Nogai and Cossacks. Although the Truchen Kingdom gave them a much better life than before, nothing is absolutely true, and they know what they would do.
But Techina still set out without hesitation, of course, because of Qitad's order.
Techina, the earliest Turkut boys who followed Qitad in Astrakhan were all in their forties, are now at their peak in physical and intellectual power.
Tichi means Canglang in Mongolian language. All of whom can have this name are brave, agile, and smart people, while Chu Huer only means a warrior.
When Qitade placed him in Aktobi for a long time, Techina obviously had some opinions. He did not even believe that he had destroyed the Xiaoyuzzedouer Alliance and attacked the Junggar land, which made him lose a lot of merit. Now, he is better, just like Chu Huer, he can lead a front army independently and fight independently, which shows that Qitade still trusts him highly.
What's more, he was one of the few people who taught by words and deeds when Qitade sneaked into the Truqin swamp. He basically had the military skills that Qitade had, in addition to his forward-looking and vision.
Compared with Chu Huer's overall view of the situation, courage, courage and fearlessness, Tiechina is a bit more cunning.
If you want to deal with a military genius like Suvorov, besides Qitad himself, there is only Techina.
What's more, Tichi is still a serious Turkut man. Unlike Chu Huer who is a Huit, he will also have more responsibility invisibly.
Although Qitade is constantly decreasing his tribe and background, he can't help but think so. Traditions cannot be easily erased.
Just like Qitade himself, although this body is a Mongol, he was a Han man in later generations. If he was still a Mongolian, he would obviously be like Galdan. If he wanted to expand his population and territory, the Mongols in the north and south of the desert would definitely be given priority.
But Qitade chose to go to the sea. In addition to the large population along the way there, he was a Han Chinese in his later generations and had a subconscious mind that was close to the Han people.
Three divisions and one military commander, nearly 30,000 troops trekked in the muddy late winter land of Western Ukraine. The traces of cannon ruts created two conspicuous black lines on the snow-white land.
The team followed the black line and finally turned it into a very thick black line.
For Western Ukrainians, it is naturally good to have the help of the Truqins, but deep down they obviously don't want the Truqins to make a fake journey to attack Guo.
Fortunately, the Truchens were not Russians. After the Russians supported Stanislaw to become the king of Poland, they immediately regarded the entire Poland as their forbidden body, and could not tolerate others' involvement. They also had no concealment of the Poles, which triggered the Poles' resistance.
But the Truchens are different. They created the Principality of Ukraine with one hand, but except for commerce and aid, they had little interference in their internal affairs.
Nowadays, Poland is a completely strange European and extremely democratic regime (one-vote veto system), but it is extremely dependent on serfs at home. Their industry is extremely backward and far behind Russia. Therefore, it has always been the granary of the entire Europe, and their only foreign trade product is grain.
In addition to Poland, the entire German region has a roughly the status of Europeans. This may be one of the origins of the relationship between the two countries and Britain, France and other countries.
The German region was scattered and Britain and France maintained their scatteredness behind their backs, but Poland was committed to death, and even the mighty king was unable to move forward.
Relatively speaking, the Ukrainian region has been a place of Cossacks for a long time, and has become somewhat tough.
But under the crushing of firearm advantages and tactics, it is useless to be tough.
Therefore, with the deepening of Suvorov's army, the Ukrainians knew that unless Truqin took action, it was inevitable that they would destroy the country.
So, when Techina brought his army into Uman Province, although the lord of the province Mihau Krasinsky was already old, he came to greet him with the support of his servants.
At this time, Eastern European countries, especially countries like Poland that lack seaports, were not easy to integrate into Europe.
Since the German region lies in the middle, if they want foreign trade, they must rely on the Hanseatic League. However, if they want to do business with the Hanseatic League, their cities must join the Magdeburg Agreement, so a large number of German and Jewish merchants entered Poland to do business.
They learned all the details of the Magdeburg law and the Hanseatic League agreement, and gradually, they became the leading figures in Poland's foreign trade and taxation.
This is true in Uman and Vinnica. In today's Western Ukraine, a large number of Germans and Jews are inhabited.
The army of Techina stopped in the small town of Watuti in the middle of Uman Province. When he saw Mihau coming to greet him, Techina thought about something.
"According to the information from our country's intelligence agency, in the Kiev Province to the north, Suvorov occupied the city of Berzelkovi in the south, obviously to protect its food route, but how its military power is arranged still needs to be learned from Mihau"
"And Mihau abandoned Ukrainian City and came here to welcome me, obviously because Suvorov's army immediately posed a threat to the Ukrainian province he commanded, rather than simply coming to welcome me."
The last light snow in late winter unexpectedly encountered.
The final rage of the Siberian cold wind has also begun.
In the wind and snow, Techina and Mihau met at a luxurious mansion in the small town of Watuti.
This town was originally a larger manor in Mihau, but later it gradually became a small town.
The great nobles in Poland each have hundreds of castles and thousands of manors. The Mihau brothers have long been entrenched in southern Ukraine, so they are naturally indispensable.
Mihau is almost seventy years old this year. As the great Ukrainian noble who has had the most frequent contact with the Truqins, he is the least wary of him against the Truqins. Moreover, the Truqins have treated him with smallpox virus, allowing his only son to survive the smallpox virus.
This prevented him from falling into the hands of his brother, Adam Krasinsky, a senior official and bishop of Kamenets.
Although he has the same political philosophy and belief as the current Ukrainian Grand Duke Zavusky, he also has a close view on his own interests.
"General"
Mihau, whose hair and beard are all white, naturally knew the weight of the person in front of him. He did not rely on his seniority in his words, but was quite respectful.
"You know that each division of the Russian army has 15,000 people. The army led by Suvorov has a total of 45,000 people. What are you doing when dealing with the Kazimi Japanese army, which has only 10,000 regular troops in our country? "
Techina smiled and said, "Does the Russians want to completely occupy the Principality of Ukraine?"
Mihawu nodded, "It is obvious that this is the case. After Suvorov occupied Kiev, he immediately dismantled the 45,000 people under his command. In fact, only 10,000 people in each of their divisions were the main force, and the remaining 5,000 were auxiliary, but they were also stronger than Cossacks and tribal cavalry."
"He arranged such military forces as five thousand in the city of Kiev, five thousand in Betzelkovi, near our province, and five thousand in Zedomir, near Kamenets province, and brought 30,000 main forces into Vinnica Province"
"Since our main force is Vinnica, once he defeats Kazimiji, he can actually occupy the entire Principality of Ukraine"
"Don't you still have a lot of registered Cossacks and Winged Cavalry?"
"Oh," Mihau glanced at him, "They can only play a role in the periphery of guerrilla warfare. Now that artillery is already popular, it is unrealistic to make them the main force"
"What's more, Suvorov was marching in brigades, and our winged cavalry and Cossacks did not play a big role at all"
"Suvolov obviously pays great attention to military intelligence. Once our country's Cossacks and Winged Cavalry gather, it is very likely to be besieged by them. This move was tried and done when he invaded our country for combat last time. So now our country's Cossacks and Winged Cavalry are fighting in companies, and there are very few battalion-level units"
Techina asked, "He knew you were next to us, and he dispatched a large army, wouldn't he be afraid of being attacked by our two countries?"
"This..."
"It's time to come, what else can't be said? Well, let me think about it, the closest to the Principality of Ukraine is the Principality of Yasi and Austria. The Principality of Yasi must have listened to Austria. Did the Austrians get involved?"
(Dule of Iasi, northern Moldova)
Thinking of this, his heart was shocked.
"According to the Intelligence Agency, since our country defeated the Ottomans, the Austrian royal family has arranged its powerful general Feng Laodong in Transylvania. In addition to dealing with the Ottomans, they obviously have the intention to deal with our country."
"There is an army under Laodong. If they united with the Russians, it is wrong. In the previous surprise attack on Berlin, wasn't it the Russians and Austrians who joined forces to operate? There was Feng Laodong in it!"
"Transylvania is next to the Principality of Iasi. If Austria really takes action, Laudong must have arrived in Iasi, and even reached the border area near Vinnica!"
"But why did our country's intelligence personnel not find this?"
