Zaporoze.

Forty-three-year-old Peter III is trembling.

Yes, he was infected with wind and cold, and the warm and cold winter and early spring are most likely to get sick.

However, this is not the main reason why he still trembles while wearing two layers of blankets.

It seems that he likes military affairs very much. Since he came to power by chance, he has been thrown all his thoughts on it. He threw all the state affairs to Shuvalov, Vorontov and Frederick, who have proved to be quite capable in the Elizabethan era, and he doesn't have to worry about him at all.

At the beginning, he let the Prussians dominate the national affairs. Five years later, he realized that this situation would not last long, so he let Shuvalov, Vorontov and the Prussians stand together, slightly suppressing the volcano that was about to erupt in the country.

There were Shuvalov, who was spread throughout Russia, and Vorontov was in Russia. Russia maintained stability. Since Peter III had two guards trained entirely by himself (actually Prussians), it was unlikely that those who were malicious would want to make trouble.

To strengthen this, Peter III made the German Golitzen, who he thought was completely credible, serve as the commander-in-chief of the Charizin Guards, and let Minnech, who was also a German and now seventy-year-old, serve as the deputy commander of the Zaporoz Guards (former Voronesh Guards), who he personally served as the commander of the army.

Golitzen is the prototype of the male protagonist of the famous opera "Walnut Queen" in later generations.

In the guards he personally led, the commander of the First Division was himself, and Frederick the Great's former state secretary and adjutant Gortz served as the commander of the Second Division. He used to be the Minister of State of Russia, and a famous Russian general, who had defeated the Prussian army in Konesburg as the commander of the Third Division.

He asked Field Marshal Salticov to serve as commander of the Third Division not to think that he had defeated the Prussians, but to think that Salticov "has a good understanding of the essence of the Prussian army."

In addition, the inseparable Guards Cavalry Regiment was also controlled by the Prussians. The regiment commander was Stoibn, the Frederick Hunter Company Commander who escorted Golds to St. Peter III to sign a contract.

In addition to Salticov, the Germans and the soldiers of the Guards all obtained a large amount of land and serfs (one-third of Russia's land is in the hands of the Tsar), Peter III obviously didn't have to worry about anyone who dared to make a coup.

Minnech is also an experienced veteran. During the last Russian-Turkish war, he led a few Russian troops to cross the Isthmus of Pilekope, north of the Crimean Peninsula, creating good conditions for the Russian army to finally sweep the entire peninsula.

During the time of Queen Elizabeth, Minnech was sent to Siberia, and Peter III brought him back as soon as he came to power. He had both talent and kindness of knowing him, and Minnech must be loyal to him.

At present, Minnech's specific position is the chief marshal, but in fact it is the Grand Marshal. It can be seen that Peter III relies on him. Historically, Minnech was by Peter III during the coup in Catherine.

The elite troops of 46,000 people, Zaporoze also has a local division. Peter III should have rested his mind, but he still trembled.

Obviously, he is an emperor who is keen on training and military service, but is actually afraid of war, that is, the Chinese people's "Ye Gong Haolong".

Deep in his heart, he had an elite army of 100,000. The Truqins on the opposite side should have escaped. Unexpectedly, they actually fought first!

This made him see the horror of war.

The fall of Orenburg, Treutsk and other places made him feel scared again.

In fact, he is a forty-three-year-old boy who has been fantasizing about being a general who personally charges like Frederick the Great, but does not want to take the risk of war.

However, Ekaterina's attempted coup made him notice the importance of intelligence personnel. Spiden, an Englishman who had served as the ambassador of the Turgut and commander of the Eastern Ukrainian Legion, was promoted by him to the empire's secret police chief, which shows how worried he was about the Russians.

Minnech, Spidden, a German, and a British man, often accompany him, but in fact he is his right-hand man.

More than twenty years later, Spidden is also an old man over 60 years old. As a British man, he has lived a very good life in Russia. He is now a Count. This situation is unimaginable as a Catholic in England.

Therefore, he will serve the Tsar well until his death.

Under the operation of Spiden, the surrounding battlefields and domestic intelligence was sent to Zaporoze through the Cheka postman. He was also well aware of Peter III's heart, and the order and timing of reporting information to him were very particular.

Minnech looks like an old soldier and will speak out his military strategy in a blunt way.

Peter III generally did not use people, but Minnech and Spidon used them just right.

"Your Majesty"

When Minnech saw Peter III's trembling appearance, he naturally understood the whole story, but he could not say it clearly, otherwise he would have been sent to Siberia again, but Spiden, who had just entered, spoke without hesitation.

"The peasants and soldiers in the entire Voronez region are about to arrive"

The so-called Voronesh region refers to the southern plains of Moscow, the Tula-Ryazan-Kursk-Voronesh region, which is Russia's main grain-producing area and industrial and mining base.

After hearing this, Peter III's eyes finally lit up, "How many people are there?"

"Fifty thousand people, all mobilized"

In one month, the Russians were able to mobilize all the serf soldiers in the entire Voronesh region, which showed their ability and the obedience of the serf soldiers.

Fifty thousand people, plus his guards, are close to 100,000!

Peter III's body suddenly became warm, and two blankets fell to the ground after two thumps.

He returned to his high seat and was about to give orders, but he finally looked at Minneh.

"My dear Grand Marshal, let's go..."

Minnech quickly said, "Your Majesty, there is enough for Zaporoze to guard it. Now, all of us can travel to Rostov to fight against the hateful chief of the Eastern barbarians, Qitad,"

"What? What about the wing?"

"Your Majesty, when we march, we will have a guard army of a division with a serf division. The guard army led by Your Majesty is in the middle. The sudden front is a serf division, and the behind the palace is two serf divisions. There are two divisions on both sides of your left and right"

“Why go now?”

"Your Majesty, ahem, we have nearly 100,000 people, and the daily food and grass consumed is huge. On the one hand, the barbarian thieves have the advantage in the water. At most, in five days, the Azov Sea will thaw. At that time, their navy will definitely go north to attack our Taganrog port"

"At that time, our south side was very likely to be blocked by..."

"With the opportunity to go east to Rostov to fight them to the death"

"What about Chalijin?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, although Orenburg is lost, we still have four castles, including Tharizin, Astrakhan, Atlau and Kurakin, which will make it impossible for them to gather their troops at the heart of the barbarians."

"In addition, Kazan Prefecture is also mobilizing serf soldiers and can go south soon. It is entirely possible to restrain the Manuto front of the barbarian thief chief general Chu Huer, so that he dare not attack Chalizin and Astrakhan at will"

"As for Orenburg, the barbarian army in Treutsk, there are not many people, and it is unlikely that they will go deeper into our hinterland. It would be good to be able to defend the results in front of us. In Siberia, our country also has the Omsk Legion and the Toborsk Legion. There is no need to worry about that direction"

"Also"

He originally wanted to say that the Ottomans were attacking the Principality of Kishinau and could also contain some of the Truchen's military power, but he still held back his words.

"What about those rebel traitors?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry," Spiden quickly took over the conversation, "The Truchens have accepted Asnalin and Pugachev, and the war has stopped a little, not to mention that a brigade arranged in Tyumen has advanced to the Chelyabinsk Fortress"

"In addition, Pugachev will never appear again. Asnalin just wants to gain the status of the lord of Ufa City and hereditary count. In this case, I suggest that your majesty might as well agree first. Asnalin has prestige among the Tatars in Perm-Kazan-Ufa area"

"If he gets what he wants, His Majesty will be able to add at least 20,000 tribal cavalry to help"

“Where is Poltava and Chernigov?”

Poltava, Chernigov is the other two Eastern Ukraine who rely on the Dnieper River. Currently, only peasant soldiers are stationed, and local brigades are taken away by Suvorov.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Suvorov is confronting the Truchens in Vinnica. There are Austrian friendly troops there, with a large number of people. The barbarian thieves are still surrounded in the middle. There is no chance to cross the Dnieper River to harass Poltava and Chernigov."

"What's more, the Polotsks who have always admired Your Majesty and have a militia of another army can go south to support these two places at any time"

(Polotsk, Belarusian)

"The entire Northern Poland is your sphere of influence, so don't worry at all"

"Ahem," Peter III seemed to be warmer, "The Kingdom of Prussia..."

Minnech knew what he was worried about, "Your Majesty, although Frederick II signed a covenant with Chitard, it only lasted ten years. Now it has been ten years, and the covenant has automatically expired."

"Besides, we are all people of God, and the evil kingdom of Qitad is everywhere in the land of pagans. Frederick used to be just a serpent, and now he must be on the side of His Majesty the Great"

"No, no, no, the whole of Europe is on your side, you should believe this"

Peter III smiled on his face and he drew a cross on his chest.

Then he walked to the sunny balcony and stretched beautifully.
