After occupying Moscow, Li Ding was still worried about the 80,000 Russian troops on the western front and the north. As a result, as soon as the news that Moscow had been captured by the Qin army spread, tens of thousands of Russian troops were in panic.
Sweden, the powerful enemy in the north, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the feuding enemy in the west, would never let go of such an opportunity to kill you while you are sick. The two countries coincided with each other and launched a fierce attack.
The Russian army, which had no intention of fighting, was quickly defeated. The armies of Poland and Sweden marched straight in, pursued and fought fiercely, and occupied a large amount of land.
Because of the fall of the capital, Tsarist Russia's 80,000-strong army seemed to be disappearing. In less than ten days, they were either captured or fled, and disappeared into thin air.
The reason why this kind of disintegration occurred is probably related to the fact that Tsarist Russia has not formed a strong centralized monarchy in recent years. The political power of Tsarist Russia is actually in the hands of various big nobles, and their infiltration has made the military factions complicated;
Now that most of these nobles have been captured, the relationship between the army cannot be sorted out, and it has become a piece of scattered sand. The result of such a rapid collapse is so fast that people can't help but sigh.
Li Ding's army of nearly 40,000 troops, after plundering the surrounding areas of Moscow, retreated into the city. Almost all the young men in the city had been killed, and there was no need to worry about anyone rioting.
The looted gold and silver treasures were piled up in the Kremlin. Every soldier's private pocket is bulging.
Especially those Kazakh servants, they were no longer discouraged by being servants, and they were as excited as chicken blood. Fighting with the Qin army is a great experience, with gold and silver treasures being snatched away happily, and beautiful women everywhere.
As the saying goes, wealth touches people's hearts, and beautiful women enchant people's souls. The Qin army grabbed mountains of gold and silver, and others would definitely be jealous. Li Ding is now worried about how to transport so much treasure.
20,000 Swedish troops, 40,000 Polish cavalry and 20,000 Lithuanian troops. They have advanced to the vicinity of Moscow. These places have been looted by the Qin army, and everything they looted is clean. The two armies came over and did nothing. Naturally, they set their sights on Moscow together.
Of course, in addition to gold and silver treasures, the two countries are more concerned about the city of Moscow and this land, where the Qin army passed from afar. The cities are all in ruins. It can be seen from this that the Qin army does not want to occupy this area, and even if the Qin army does not want to occupy it for a long time, it can still rob it.
The Moscow area is rich in products. Who wouldn’t salivate
Li Ding is planning to destroy Kosco. In this way, the armies of the two countries will get nothing. Will they watch you transport a large amount of gold and silver treasures away easily
In the Kremlin. Li Ding said to the generals: "Now, two hungry wolves are coming to snatch the meat. What should we do?"
General Li Wei said: "Both beasts want to eat a piece of meat. Let them fight first. Whoever wins gets to eat?"
The generals laughed after hearing this, but the Swedes and Poles were not wild beasts after all, and they wanted the two armies to fight first. This is really not easy. Who doesn’t know how the fisherman will benefit when the snipe and the clam fight
Staff officer Wu Ying introduced: "Poland and Lithuania are collectively known as the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. They adopt a constitutional monarchy system of governance. In name, the King of Poland is the emperor of the entire country, but the Grand Duke of Lithuania has the right of autonomy to form his own country, and Poland They are actually two countries under the same framework. This federation was once strong but is now in decline.
The Kingdom of Sweden rose rapidly under the governance of the previous generation of King Gustav II and Prime Minister Axel Ossindana, participated in the Thirty Years' War in Europe, and became the leader of the Protestant countries. Now The king was the daughter of Gustavus II, named Christina.
This country is located in a bitter cold, with poor supplies and a sparse population, but the soldiers are brave and good at fighting. Therefore, although they only came with 20,000 troops this time, they should not be underestimated. If they really fight with the 60,000 troops of the Polish-Lithuanian Federation, it is still unclear who will win. "
It is naturally not in the interests of the Qin army to be enemies of Poland and Sweden at the same time. The remaining question now is who to pull and fight.
Li Ding thought for a while and said: Sweden is an emerging country, just like a young man, there is still a lot of room for improvement. If Sweden is allowed to occupy the Moscow Plain, or even occupy the entire territory of Tsarist Russia, this country will inevitably become stronger, and soon It will form a new threat to our northwest border of Daqin.
Since the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth has been declining day by day, like a sluggish old man, such a country, even if they are allowed to occupy the Moscow Plain, will pose a much smaller threat to our Great Qin. "
"What the general said is absolutely true, and I also agree with uniting the Poles to fight the Swedes." Li Wei inexplicably thought about the situation in the late Ming Dynasty. He felt that the Polish king was like the languid Ming Dynasty, while Sweden was like the Jurchens with strong soldiers and horses.
Therefore, whether in terms of actual interests or psychological orientation, they prefer to unite with the Poles to fight against the Swedes.
In this way, the planner Wu Ying came to the Polish military camp west of Moscow with an interpreter. Leading a 60,000 Polish and Lithuanian army was the Governor of Smolensk Province Alexander Goszewski.
Alexander Goszewski was a man of nearly fifty years old, with a thick black beard and sharp eyes. He was very surprised by Wu Ying's arrival.
Wu Ying's face was kind and elegant, which was very inconsistent with the legendary image of the fierce Qin army. Alexander Goszewski couldn't help but take a closer look at him.
"Dear Governor, as a soldier, I am accustomed to speaking out. Our army attacked Tsarist Russia because Tsarist Russia stretched its hand too far." Wu Ying said as he spread out a map he brought, "Your Excellency, Governor Look here, they have invaded the Heilongjiang area of our Daqin, and they want to continue to invade the south. Those who invade our Daqin will be punished no matter how far away they are! That’s why our army marched westward to conquer Moscow."
Alexander Goszewski had never heard of Heilongjiang, but from what Wu Ying pointed out, it was an extremely remote place.
Just because of the invasion of a small group of Russians, the Qin State sent a large army to the west and directly destroyed Moscow. What a terrifying strength this is!
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty the Governor, if there are no new enemies against us, our Western Expedition will stop at Moscow. Of course, if someone wants to be an enemy of our Great Qin, we don't mind continuing the Western Expedition."
After the translator finished translating Wu Ying's words, Alexander immediately said forcefully: "Did Staff Wu come to threaten me?"
Wu Ying smiled and said: "On the contrary, I am here to discuss cooperation with the Governor. Our country, Great Qin, has no conflict with the Polish-Lithuanian Federation and can become friendly neighbors.
As far as I know, the Swedes have invaded Poland many times and are Poland's old enemies. Now Russia has been destroyed by our army, but our army does not intend to occupy this area for a long time. If this area falls into the hands of the Swedes, the Swedes will Becoming bigger and more powerful will undoubtedly be a nightmare for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
We, the Qin Dynasty, do not want to be neighbors with an aggressive country. So I came to the governor to talk about cooperation. We can defeat the Swedes together, and then from here, Tsaritsyn Fortress to the west, to Taganrog on the Black Sea, and to the east, bounded by the Volga River, all the way to Kazan , and then draw a straight line from Kazan to the Ural Mountains. To the southeast is our territory of Great Qin. The northwest side was given to Poland. The two countries signed a border agreement, mutual non-aggression and friendly exchanges. Of course, the prerequisite is that we must defeat the Swedes first. I wonder if the Governor is willing to cooperate with us. "
As Wu Ying spoke, the translator translated his words. Alexander Goszewski's eyes were already bright after hearing this;
The Qin army gave Poland the fertile Don River Plain and the Moscow Plain for free. This was pie in the sky, and anyone who didn't want to do so would be a fool.
The question is, is there really such a thing as pie falling in the world? Alexander suppressed his huge surprise and asked calmly: "Consultant Wu, should I believe your words?"
"If the Governor doesn't believe it, then we have to find the Swedes to cooperate. Maybe they will believe it."
"Consultant Wu, wait!"
