Chapter 65: The Thirteenth Great Era: Defending Tsaritsyn (Part 1)
The Volga River is deep and dark, wide and magnificent.
Just like the Dnieper River and the Don River, this is a large river that looks like a black river because a large amount of black soil and humus falls into it.
The Ejina River, this is the name given to him by the Turguts.
Chalizin, the Volga River rushed from the north and turned southeast from here, and finally poured into the Caspian Sea.
The terrain is higher north of this place, and the terrain is gradually slowing down here, causing the river to overflow to both sides, forming a vast swamp about 800 miles long and forty miles wide.
Here, it has always been the dividing line between nomadic tribes and farming tribes. To the south is a traditional nomadic area. To the north is a semi-parent and half-agricultural area. The more you reach the forest area, you are about to get close to the farming world.
Rye, the most cold-resistant crop, has its straw and leaves, which are the favorite things for domesticated livestock, regardless of dryness or wetness.
This crop can be grown in the coldest Siberia, so the so-called farming zone actually refers to planting this species. After maturity and harvesting, it is ground into flour to make dry and hard black bread. It is of the Russian nation
Favorite.
After the completion of the city of Chalizin, together with Lugansk Kharkov Sume in the west, it became one of the main defense lines for the Russians to resist the southern nomadic tribes. The Russians used their muskets and artillery in their hands to rely on the sturdy castle group.
A large amount of consuming brave and fearless tribal cavalry, riding horses and raising their sabers.
This is the key to the Tsarist Russian Empire's confrontation with Ottoman Crimea for hundreds of years, and at least the geographical key.
From the day this line of defense was built, the Crimeans could no longer go deep into their hinterland and rob and abduct white slaves.
With Orenburg in the east, the Russians can not only curb the Crimeans in the south, but also curb the Kazakhs in the east.
The castle cluster, coupled with convenient water and drought roads, is the only magic weapon for the Russians to continuously expand their territory.
Among them, Chalizin City is dominant, and it is the center of the three southern regions of Voronez, Chalizin and Orenburg.
Originally, this was a small town located on the west bank of the Volga River. After the continuous expansion of the Tsars of all generations, it was already a large defensive position with a stone castle of ten miles in a radius of ten miles and surrounded by castles.
The Russians' enemies mainly come from the east and the south, so they are only separated by a river. Later, Volgasky built the East Chalizin Fort, and later, the South Chalizin Fort was built in the Red October District.
Block the attack from the enemy from the east and south.
....
Vitliangka, the former Turgut Khan's tent, is located on the south bank of the Volga River. It was originally a small wooden city, but now it has become a county town in the Truqin Kingdom.
Manuto, located on the north bank of the Volga River, south of the Manuto Sea, is the provincial capital of Manuto Province, the Kingdom of Truchen, and is far away from Vitrelka across the Volga River.
Forty-three-year-old Chu Huer set off.
Compared with other fronts, Chu Huer has the most regular divisions under his command, one near Astrakhan, one near Ulianghai (Alessandrovgai), and four around him!
p>
Even Qitade has only one army by his side, but Chu Huer has two!
In addition to the vast scope of his jurisdiction, there is also the trust that Qitad has in him.
This is not the Central Plains dynasty, and Qitade is also a time traveler. He does not have the moral burden of "killing his father" in any aspect. Killing his father and brother is not too common in nomadic tribes.
If it was the Central Plains dynasty, the emperor who was promoted because of the father-killing, would definitely adopt the strategy of directly increasing the father-killing person's strategy of rising and descending the person's face. There were many people who even killed him and diverted his attention. Before that, Cheng Ji was a man who was in charge of Sima Zhao.
Later, Yuchi Gongzhi was given to Li Shimin.
But this is a grassland area, and Qitad is still a time traveler, and there is no such burden at all.
Although the domestic controversy is raging, Qitade still trusts Chu Huer highly.
If Tiechi is the grassland wolf, then Chu Huer is the grassland tiger.
Chu Huer's face turned slightly red and his figure was extremely tall and strong, so some people called him "Ulaanbari", which means Red Tiger.
Compared to the past, he is 43 years old, his figure is slightly fat, and his red face is even more intense.
The Mongolians had fewer beards, but Chu Huer was an exception. He had a thick beard, which was different from the Truqin horses that were used by Dun Hippo and Mongolian horses on state-owned ranches.
This two hundred pound body is still riding on an equally tall and strong black purebred Don River.
The horse was pitch black all over, and its four hooves were snow-white, which looked very much like the legendary "Kicking the Snow Uyama". Zhang Fei's mount was fierce, but his face was red again.
So some people say that he is a mixture of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Chu Huer laughed at all these legends and discussions.
"I am a Huit, I am Korqin, Kalaqin, and Qiexue of the Kreit clan of the Turkut Khan kingdom"
He asked a division to set out along the north bank of the Volga River and marched towards Chalizin east, and led a whole army to set out from Vitliangka on the south bank. The target was naturally the main city of Chalizin.
He understood that as soon as he came out, he would not only firmly fix the Golitzen army in Charizin, but also attract Peter III, who fled to Voronesh.
That's because the 50,000 serf soldiers who went south from Perm, Kazan, Ufa, and Samara had been recruited there by the frightened bird Peter III. After tens of thousands of troops were around him, what remained in Peter III's heart
A little bit of ambition was finally ignited.
Chalizin will become Truchen, the last battlefield of the Tsarist Russian Empire, and Truchen's protagonist is Chu Huer!
Thinking of this, Chu Huer couldn't help but straighten his chest again.
....
Tharizin, the majestic city on the west bank of the Volga River is covered with clouds, which looks very much like his current master, the commander-in-chief of the Russian Charizin Front, the commander-in-chief of the Charizin Guards, and the senior officials of the Charizin Province
Kotov's mood.
Governor's Office.
The same fireplace, the same swaying fire, and the same colorful wine glasses.
Commander Golitzen, two division commanders Beeksky, Lepnin, and senior officials Bekotov were bleak.
Golitzen, the prototype of the male protagonist of the Queen Walnut drama in his early forties, in real history, it was not his handsome
Appearance is not his sweet words or his wit.
But his military secretary of Frederick the Great.
He was a Russian general who was well versed in the Prussian military system and could practice it. If it was said that Nech was the representative of the old Prussians, then he, who was close to Peter III, was the representative of the ever-evolving New Prussian Army.
The other two division commanders, Beeksky and Lepnin, were also families of military generals in the Tsarist Russian Empire. One inherited the Rick dynasty and the other was Normanov upstarts. Of course, there were no Rumentsev and Suvorov in military terms.
, Kutuzov is as outstanding as he is, but his heart is very loyal to the Tsar to death.
What's more, they are all representative figures of the new army promoted by Peter III.
The sky is dark, the fire is swaying, the mood is dull, and the atmosphere is solemn.
After a while, Golitzen, who had a blond hair, broke the silence.
"Why haven't the respected Lord Takischev come yet?"
It turned out that the main seat next to the fireplace was still waiting for him, and there were two seats left empty beside him.
Today, Takischev, who had served as a senior official in Orenburg Province, a senior official in Astrakhan Province, and currently a senior official in Charizin Province and the Governor of Charizin, summoned them.
During the Takishyev era, they had a good relationship with the Turkuts, Kazakhs and Bashkirs. Everything was under the control of the Tsarist government. Based on this, Peter III fled to the death of the Battle of Rostov.
After Voronesh, he immediately appointed Charizin's battle to be dominated by Takishyev.
Takishyev, the senior official of Astrakhan who almost returned to heaven because of his fall into the cold swamp.
He used to be a non-hereditary Count, but now he has been promoted to a hereditary Count, which means that his family can have permanent farms and serfs that can be passed down from generation to generation.
Yes, his farm is near Chalijin, with about 10,000 acres of land and two thousand serfs.
If he was defeated, his status as a hereditary Count would probably be gone, so he could only defend Chalijin to the death.
Defending Chalijin is the theme of this conference.
The sound of footsteps finally came from outside the door. After a while, Takishyev, who was over 60 years old, came in with two people. One of them was Saultykov, the secret police chief of the Governor General of Tharizin.
/p>
Sharticov is actually Sharticov. The Sharticov family, like the Cherksky family, has long been married to the Normanov family and is one of the famous "post-clans" in Russia.
The first Tsar Mikhail started with the Salticov family as the chief of ordnance for a long time, and later the position gradually evolved into the chief of the secret police.
Later, some people from the Salticov family joined the army and made their mark in the army. Nowadays, Salticov, who is by Peter III, is one of them.
But a considerable number of them are still engaged in old business and secret police work, and Saultykov is one of them.
The other person is a young man, about twenty-five or six years old, and no one has seen him.
Unlike everyone's sad face, Takishyev, who had long been gray-haired, looked relaxed. After entering the room, he took off his coat, and then took off his black hat on his head. The young man picked it up.
Then hang it on the hanger in the corner.
Everyone thought he was Takishyev's orderly, but when he hung up Takishyev's cloak, he sat down opposite everyone and sat next to Sortikov!
Takisev looked at you and understood naturally. He pointed at the man and said, "This is Kutuzov, the leader of the Izmelovo Guards Cavalry Regiment, by the way, he is still his Majesty's stay in St. Petersburg.
Military Secretary, just arrived from St. Petersburg”
"After seeing His Majesty in Voronesh, he came here"
Naturally, everyone thought that this person was on behalf of the Tsar, so they quickly stood up one by one and gave a gift.
"No"
Kutuzov seems to be only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but he is very mature. He is not at all nervous when facing a group of generals who are mostly over forty years old and mostly ranks of lieutenant generals or above.
