"King of Heaven, this is the Western Expedition Plan agreed upon by brothers Trigo and Brother Haiming, and they are submitted to the King of Heaven for his review..."

Li Xiucheng placed a thick battle plan on a desk, and then stood respectfully motionless. King Hongda was being supported by two fair-skinned beauties, pacing in his study room, from

Looking out the window, I saw that the yard was covered with a thick layer of snow, which was left over from several consecutive days of wind and snow.

The weather is getting warmer now. In a while, it will be time for the ice and snow to melt. The snowmelt season is not a good time for marching and fighting. The road from Hami to the west either passes through the Tianshan Mountains or along the south of the Tianshan Mountains.

March into the foothills. Once the ice and snow covering the Tianshan Mountains melts, it will be the time for flash floods. Therefore, in Xinjiang, the best time to use troops is summer and autumn. You can also barely march in spring, but it is not easy to move in mid-spring now.

"What do the two foreign brothers say?" Hong Xiuquan glanced at the thick stack of plans and frowned. In a war, you still need to take the No. 1 exam? Is it necessary to write such a thick stack?

Li Xiucheng said: "Brothers Trigo and Haiming want to march immediately! Send out ten armies to attack Turpan. That is the granary of Xinjiang, and a lot of food should be raised.

Hong Xiuquan nodded slowly: "In that case, Xiubi, why don't you and King Bei go together? Remember to bring seeds and farm tools... If we capture Turpan before spring sowing, we will be able to harvest a lot of food this autumn."

Do you still want to farm? Li Xiucheng was startled. How much do millions of people eat in Xinjiang in a year? How much can they harvest from the few acres of fields in Turpan? This King Hong Tian is really whimsical!

…

In early March 1854, just as the new year's fighting on the Eastern battlefield had just begun. In the West, the Russian Empire achieved another great victory in Bulgaria. Under the dual effects of explosives and Russian cannon fodder, Turkey

man's sri

The Fortress was captured by the Russian army! The balance of victory in the Ninth Russo-Turkish War completely tilted towards Russia. Under this situation, the Tsar was naturally unwilling to give up the victory that was about to be won. He flatly rejected the ultimatum submitted by Britain and France. Kerry

The Mia War has begun in full force!

In Mongolia, the situation is also changing rapidly. The Ming Army's steppe army stationed in Yanran Mountain began to take action, and the leading troops of tens of thousands of troops quietly marched towards the Altai Mountains. However, the highest official in Russia's Central Asia, Orenburg Governor Vasily

, Alexanderovich Petrovsky knew nothing about it. His eyes were all on Xinjiang, China, and a war that made him extremely excited was about to break out soon.

In Petrovsky's words: "This war is about using one enemy to fight another enemy. No matter who dies in the end, it is the Russian Empire that benefits!"

"Your Majesty the Governor, the latest news is that the Western Qing Emperor Yi Chi is leading an army of 50,000 people from Yerqiang City to the north, preparing to join forces with the Great Mullah Alimkuli's army in Dihua." Young Chernyayev.

The lieutenant colonel excitedly walked into the office of the Governor of Orenburg with the report he had just received. In the past year of 1853, the Russians finally completed

It became their telegraph line project in Western Siberia and Central Asia. Along the blockhouse lines in Central Asia, the Russians buried countless telegraph poles and set up thousands of miles of telegraph lines. So Petro, who was based in Orenburg,

Fsky was quite well informed. Orenburg received the telegram on the fifth day after Mullah Alimkuli received the news that Yi Chi was about to go north.

"50,000 ... Calculating the Emperor West Qing, how many people have Alimkuri gathered in Xinjiang? 80,000 or 100,000?"

"It is about 85,000. If the numbers given by Alimkuri themselves are accurate." Colonel Cardia Yev raised it, and took another telegram, "There is another bad news, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom

It was supported by the British and Roman Holy See. The British and Jeship sent thousands of military advisers, and the Pope also awarded the Cross Banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! "

"The Crusader ... haha, how can Alimkari fight with the Chinese now." Peter Ravesky rubbed his hands. "Now I really look forward to a war, the Cross Army ...

Lieutenant Colonel, I crossed 100 rubles betting the Crusades victory. "

"Then I will bet on the victory of Alim Curry." Lieutenant Colonel Calinia Jiev laughed. To be honest, he was not optimistic about the big hair. Because the army of the three Khan countries in Central Asia was the private privately of the private private country,

It is not a modern organizational model at all. And the Chinese army, the Ming army is a completely western -style army, while the Taiping Army is a semi -new army that can fight with the Ming army.

God, but there is enough authority in the Taiping Army. There are British -French military advisers to help, and weapons and equipment are better. If you lose, you can see the ghost!

"A hundred rubles can not work." Peter Ravesky smiled slightly. "Lieutenant Colonel, You and Lieutenant Colonel Zimerman, Major Chaercasky took 10,000 people to reinforce the big hair.

"

"10,000 people!" Chelnia Yev was taken aback, which was almost all the troops in Orenburg.

"Her Majesty Tsar has sent a reinforcement, and he can go to Olunburg in the next month. There are 3 infantry divisions, 2 cavalry divisions, a total of 45,000 people!"

"45,000 people, that is, the Russian army under the jurisdiction of the Governor's House of Orenburg is as many as 65,000 ... God, Her Majesty, Tsar is determined to win the entire Central Asia?"

Chelnia Yev screamed excitedly. Such a huge force, let alone Central Asia, is the main force of pulling the Mongolian and the Daming Empire to fight a battle.

"No, His Majesty Tsar believes that a Ming Army riding infantry force with a number of 100,000 may invade the Kazakh grassland later this year." Peter Rovesky shook his head, "according to the situation of the battle of Yanran Mountain

According to analysis, the Ming army is a new army with a certain combat effectiveness. However, as long as our command does not make major mistakes, 55,000 people are enough to defeat the 100,000 Ming Army. Lieutenant Colonel, do you understand what I mean? "

55,000 people defeated 100,000 Ming Army, and who else left 10,000 people to deal with?

Chelnia Yev's eyes turned around, "Yes, Governor, we will defeat the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom ..."

"Defeat the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? No, no, we don't want the State of Dedshal Khan (and the Bubusruk of the Zhuo family, with the support of Alimkuri, in the pseudo -nation established in Xinjiang).

The State of Hisovhan, Haohan Khanate and Buhara Khanate. "Peterrovsky smiled.

Nympho

Turpan, Turpan King's Mansion.

On the high Su Gong tower, at this time, there was a huge cross flag that fluttered in the wind.

In the ancient city of Turpan, on a street extending from east to west, only large groups of Taiping troops were marching now. The mules and horses dragged bronze cannons produced in Foshan, rumbling through the street, grinding out shallow holes on the ground.

Daogou. From the officers to the soldiers, everyone's morale was high, and the line of people with their heads wrapped in turbans stretched from one end of the city to the other, as if there was no end.

It seemed that they were the only ones left in the entire city of Turpan. The army of the Prince of Turpan carried forward the fine style of the Qing army. When they saw the cross flag of the Taiping Army in the distance, they ran away. Even the granary and bank in Turpan City were still occupied by the Prince.

There was no time to set fire to the capital, and now it was all taken over by the Taiping Army. As for the people in the city, as long as they had not escaped, they were gathered into several newly opened churches to listen to the teachings of Heavenly Father - The Taiping Army was in Hexi

absorb

They have brought in many new brothers who can speak Uyghur, and now they are just using it for preaching. As for the religious policy of the Taiping Army, there is naturally nothing to say. Everywhere they go, whether it is a Buddhist temple, a Taoist temple, a Confucian temple, or a Guandi Temple, will be converted into a church.

These guys are just a bunch of religious fanatics! But what made Will Heming and Trigo even more dumbfounded was that after the Taiping Army occupied Turpan, they actually sent people to sow seeds in the surrounding wheat fields! Do they still plan to stay in Xinjiang?

Until autumn?

Northern King Wei Changhui and Loyal King Li Xiucheng, also dressed in dragon robes and hoods, stood on a high ground outside the city. They looked to the west with telescopes, accompanied by British military adviser Will Heming. There were rumors from time to time.

Riding by, he loudly reported the military situation.

The soldiers of the King of Turpan have already abandoned their armor and fled the valley, but the war between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the heroes of the Western Regions has just begun. According to the information obtained from interrogating the prisoners, the regent of the Kokand Khanate, Mullah Alimkuli, has personally arrived in Di
