In the mysterious war, the change of the situation is like the direction of the wind on the sea, which people can never figure out.

On the banks of the Volga River, the Chinese defenders in Turinsk were withstanding the fierce offensive and heavy blows of the Russian army, but in the Vladikavkaz fortress, thousands of miles away, the Chinese army firmly wrapped this huge fortress. The 6,000 Russian soldiers and more than 3,000 young Russians had been surrounded for more than two months.

Russia's dignity was wantonly trampled on and insulted by the Chinese in front of the military and civilians of the Caucasus principalities.

The military and civilians of the Principality of Baku and the military and civilians of the Kingdom of Persia are already unscrupulously helping the Chinese, which is the most direct manifestation.

General Kirilenko, who was stationed at the fortress, looked at the soldiers and civilians dressed in Persian attire, and his eyes wished to spew fire and burn them.

It's so damning!

Did Baku and Persia think that after having the Chinese, the Russian Empire would not be able to reach them and would not be able to fight them?

Kirilenko's brain was filled with countless images of Russian ravages of Persia, but unfortunately he only had this leisure and elegance during the day. At night, the sneak attacks and attacks of the Chinese put a lot of pressure on the Vladikavkaz fortress. He's going to be a night owl who sleeps during the day and goes to work at night.

There are only about 4,000 of the 6,000 Russian troops left, and nearly half of the more than 3,000 Russian young men have also been lost. Collapsed houses and fortresses were everywhere inside the fortress.

Alexander I led a large army towards Astrakhan, but he did not forget about the Vladikavkaz fortress, but there were only a few troops sent by Alexander I, and their task was not to completely break the siege of the Vladikavkaz fortress, but to contain the Chinese besieging the fortress until good news came from Astrakhan......

The leader of the Don Cossacks - the count, the cavalry general, Matvey Ivanovich Platov, led 8000 Cossacks to the Vladikavkaz fortress.

He wanted to give full play to the strength of the Cossack cavalry, harassing the Chinese troops outside the fortress, cutting off their supply lines, and forcing the Chinese to devote more troops to guarding the transport lines......

Therefore, without the knowledge of the besieged Kirilenko, when the Vladikavkaz fortress was attacked by the Chinese and was struggling to support, the cavalry team led by Platov was rushing towards Vladikavkaz at the fastest speed.

Because the Chinese attack was very rapid, the Russian scouts could not really get close to the Vladikavkaz fortress, they could only watch the non-stop artillery fire around the perimeter and the night Chinese launched attack after attack, and came to the result of a fierce offensive of the Chinese army, so that when the news reached Platov, he thought that the Vladikavkaz fortress was crumbling and could fall at any time.

Moreover, on the way to the Vladikavkaz fortress, Platov and his family also saw too many scenes of Russian civilians leaving their homes and fleeing west with the old and the young. Their marching ranks were often blocked by crowds and traffic, unable to move.

"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that Vladikavkaz will be lost, and we won't be able to get to Vladikavkaz." Platov stood on the dirt slope by the side of the road, watching the surging crowd of refugees.

"Do you want to send someone down to disperse it, so as to make way for the troops to go first?" The adjutant on the side said.

"What are these words? We are soldiers, and it is already a shame for us to be unable to protect them, to displace them, and to flee with their families and families. How can we forcibly drive them away now, so that they can't even flee? Platov rejected this adjutant suggestion without even thinking about it.

"Since this is not possible, there must always be a way to speed up the march, otherwise, there is a real possibility that we have not yet reached Vladikavkakaz, and Vladikavkaz has already been lost." The adjutant looked at Platov and said. He is Platov's nephew, so he is not afraid of Platov.

As a Cossack, in order to speed up the march, to drive civilians out of way, this was a very common thing.

The Cossacks symbolized ruthlessness, their indiscipline, their recklessness, and their ruthlessness towards the common people, so that they were hated throughout Europe, both friend or foe.

The adjutant looked at his uncle, and he knew very well that his uncle had felt pity in his heart because he had experienced the battle against Napoleon earlier and had seen the sacrifice of too many Russian civilians. But the adjutant's heart did not think so, he thought that it was more important and beneficial to Russia to rush to the Vladikavkaz fortress as soon as possible and complete the containment of the Chinese.

Compassionate compassion is a good virtue, but it also depends on the situation.

To say something very out of place, the adjutant felt that his uncle had been in St. Petersburg for more than ten years [Platov was the head of the Tsar's Guards Cossacks, who had ascended to the throne under Paul I], and that he had too much of the nobility of St. Petersburg. The real Cossacks would not have mercy on these civilian livestock. Who made them weak, the weak do not deserve sympathy.

"Order the troops to leave all the heavy equipment [cavalry artillery] and hand it over to the rear troops for safekeeping, and wait until the road is clear before advancing, and the rest of the troops will advance lightly, and we will advance from the small road to Vladikavkaz." Platov said.

"Is that possible? If there were no cavalry artillery, we would have to assault their logistics convoys with Chinese rocket artillery, and this battle would not be easy to fight. "The deputy of the corps, Mikhailovich Razin, felt that Platov's idea was not very suitable.

"If this is not the case, I am afraid that it will not be difficult to fight, but that there will be no fight at all. And here we need their help. Platov said.

"Report to the general, Your Majesty has sent an order." A liaison officer scurried over.

"Say it again. We don't have much time to chew on words right now. Platov is well aware of the bells and whistles of the Russian ruling class, and now he has no time to listen to these irrelevant words.

"Your Majesty ordered our troops to speed up their march and rush to Vladikavkaz to help General Kirilenko in the fortress hold on to Vladikavkaz." The liaison officer reads.

"Write back to Your Majesty, and I will rush to Vladikavkaz as soon as possible." Platov said perfunctorily.

With the means of communication of this era, in the Caucasus war, Alexander I could not intervene at all.

"Tell the ministries to move forward lightly. What we need most now is speed. By the way, you must not throw away the rocket launchers and bazookas, and take them all with you after they are disassembled. Platov said.

……

In the city of Nanjing, Chen Ming's attention also shifted from Europe to the great northwest, but unfortunately the means of communication in this era were really too lo.

Chen Ming now doubts how China's military history gave birth to the phrase 'strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away', which is really just a legend. Perhaps the true meaning of this sentence is just the YY of the ancient literati and inkmen.

So, the importance of the telegraph is beyond doubt. It's important not only for business, but also for the military.

Chen Ming had asked the Zhongshan Academy of Natural Sciences to set up a telegraph research group more than ten years ago, but to no avail. The premise for the invention of the telegraph was the possession of batteries, even the most primitive ones. Chen Ming has no memory of the invention process of the battery, he only knows that ordinary batteries have carbon rods and zinc. But is this an egg?

The group has been established for several years, and it cannot be said that there are no achievements at all, but there are absolutely no breakthrough results. It was not until 1799 in the Western calendar that the Italian physicist Volt invented a very primitive battery, which opened a window for the group.

But now thirteen or fourteen years later, the telegraph is still in the experimental stage.

So Chen Ming didn't even have the opportunity to contribute 'Morse code', he was still thinking about Hanyu Pinyin before. Because he doesn't know if Zhu Hongwu's Hongwu Zhengyun can be turned into code.

The lack of a breakthrough in telegraph technology made Chen Ming's war situation in the Great Northwest seriously stagnate.

This kind of thing is embodied in Chen Ming, that is, Emperor Chen is lazy and lazy all day long, and he has no interest in political affairs.

The cabinet took the opportunity to take some power into its own hands, and Chen Ding, who had just 'participated in politics', also took the opportunity to establish his prestige.

But what made Chen Ming, who was watching coldly, feel relieved that Chen Ding did not get carried away, nor did he take the opportunity to suppress and squeeze his former opponents.

Business!

This made Chen Ming very satisfied. He didn't speculate about his son from the malicious aspect, so he didn't hold grudges when Chen Ding really had it in his heart.

After a period of silence, Chen proposed a new '100-acre farm plan'. His fiefdom is on the southern line of the Five Great Lakes, the lakeside plain is fertile and vast, the terrain is complex and diverse, the natural resources are rich and colorful, and the scenery is gorgeous, which is a very ideal place to stand.

Chen's initial plan was to vigorously develop agriculture. The Great Lakes region is quite rich in underground resources, with large reserves, many varieties, good quality, and convenient mining conditions. The Appalachian Mountains were the most important coalfields of the later Lighthouse Nation, accounting for half of the country's reserves. To the west and south of Lake Superior is the most important iron ore mining area in the United States, accounting for about 80% of the United States' reserves. But Chen didn't have the money to develop these on a large scale.

Therefore, he came up with a plan of granting 100 acres of land per capita, so as to attract local immigrants.

Over the years, the land annexation of Chen Han has been going on slowly but firmly. Individual workers are absorbed by small farms, which in turn are absorbed by medium-sized farms, which are also large and super-large. But the government does not support large and super-sized farms. In the future of Chen Han, small and medium-sized farms are the mainstream.

A small farm is defined as 1,000 acres and a medium-sized farm is defined as 5,000 acres.

Therefore, the most powerful mergers are between homesteaders and small farms.

This has provided a steady stream of landless peasants in China's rural areas and sufficient labor force for China's industrial and commercial development.

At the beginning of Chen Han's establishment, there were many yeoman farmers throughout the country, after all, Chen Han's million national defense army, then every soldier had a small family behind him.

However, with the establishment of the mutual aid cooperative, with the establishment of the joint-stock company, the actual use of the land was unconsciously stripped from the hands of the most basic 'family'.

At present, nine out of ten of the local super-large farms and their agricultural companies have evolved from the military and agricultural joint-stock companies.

Chen Yu has no money in his hands, and no matter how good his fief is, he can't prepare so many immigrants. And this development is slow step by step. Chen had no choice but to hit the landless peasants with his idea. Tempt them with 100 acres of land per capita.

To put it bluntly, Chen Jian's proposal is to find another way outside the big dock of the previous vassal alliance.

Isn't there only one vassal state in North America, but are other vassal states like Chen Sui giving 100 acres of land per capita? How is that possible. Therefore, as soon as Chen Zhen's plan was proposed, it was unanimously opposed by the Manchu civil and military [many vassal states], including many nobles in South America.
