"In other words, this is a nomadic tribe with no less than the current Western European technology. Do you think it is strange? I understood this early in the morning and reported it to the Kazan Prefecture and the frontier ministers, but they didn't care"

"Yes, like the Junggars, the Kalmyks come from the far north of the desert, and their combat effectiveness is far above the Kazakhs"

"I didn't understand before that, why are the same nomadic tribes better than the Turkish faces with Eastern Hosts?"

"When I think about it now, there are probably two factors"

"First, their territory is closer to the north, and they can endure hunger, that is, they are more tenacious. They look inconspicuous like Mongolian horses, but their combat power, endurance, and easy to feed are all the best in the nomadic tribes"

"The Turks migrated southward roughly, and better climatic conditions made them gradually lose these advantages"

"The second is religion. The Kalmyks believe in Lamaism. In fact, most herders have not completely abandoned their previous polytheism. By the way, according to the Far East Cossacks, the belief in shamanism is almost a double belief. In comparison, it is more shamanism"

"Those who believe in Shamanism believe that man and heaven and earth are one, and all things are one, and all things have gods. They are in awe of the world and everything. Over time, their combat experience and skills are also integrated with these."

"They are therefore more natural and fearless, and the Turks and Tatars who went south were mostly Islamic, and long religious rituals and completely exclusive habits have been immersed in their blood, which makes it very difficult for them to change"

"Then it gets worse and worse, the Ottoman is a clear example"

"But the Truqin people are completely different. According to my observation, their khan Qitade, by the way, I finally know why he called himself Qitade. Qitade is close to the Russian name China. He regards himself as a Chinese"

"And the Chinese, although they were ugly in the travel notes of Russian merchants in the Chaktu, actually they had powerful force and firearms that were no less than ours, otherwise they would not have defeated the Junggars who were unable to do anything to us."

"Okay," Lomonosov grabbed him, "Have you forgotten the logic I taught you? This is not the reason why you worked hard in Cuban"

"Yes," Suvorov looked out the window at the walls, docks, and facilities with obvious military purposes, and extremely complex expressions appeared in his eyes.

"I have discovered several doubts since the development of the Truqin Army"

"Originally, was Rumentsev died unexpectedly, or did the Truchens do it intentionally?"

"If it was the latter, it would be terrible. At that time, they were our relatively obedient servants. They knew that Rumentsev was an officer with a high vocation and shot him on purpose. The reason was worth exploring."

"Rumensev, who was only eighteen years old at that time, was not very visible in the sequence of Chinese officers. This is also the reason why the Tsar let Truchen go at that time"

"But in my opinion, Rumentsev is very likely to become a great general in our country, a pity"

"Secondly, a tribe born in a nomadic tribe, and craftsmen could only repair muskets. How did they invent such tribes that were equipped with flintlocks and even those who could fire short guns in succession? Some people said that when the Qing envoys came over, they left some people to teach them"

"But according to the recollections of the people who were the ambassador of the Ministry at that time, there was nothing else except for leaving them a few opera singers and some books."

"Some people also say that they obtained excellent craftsmen from the Ottomans or Persia. Yes, in the Junggar Khanate, there were not only craftsmen from Persia, but also craftsmen from our country, but they did not invent these weapons."

"Teacher, according to your logic, only if the population is large enough can one or two geniuses who can create inventions"

"Even the weapons of Western Europe are comparable to ours, not to mention the Persians and Ottomans. Of course, there are a large number of excellent craftsmen in these two places"

"So, there is only one possibility"

"Oh?"

"According to the memories of the soldiers who were monitoring the black room at Astrakhan, at the moment when Salay suddenly died, they seemed to have heard a vague sound of singing..."

"Singing? What the hell?!"

"Yes, I naturally don't believe it. It is said that the singing was obviously not from Europe, from Ottoman or Persian, or from Kazakhstan."

"According to the Russian merchants who have visited the southern part of the Qing Dynasty, a strange opera is prevalent there, all of which are privately owned, and it seems to be the sound of this song"

"Damn!", Lomonosov roared, "Is it this song that made Salai become another person!"

"One other person?" Suvorov felt enlightened, and then shook his head, "It is impossible, the entire earth has developed naturally under the care of the boundless benevolent God. How could such a thing happen?"

Lomonosov said: "Since this is the case, why not eliminate this hidden danger early?"

Suvorov shook his head, "No matter how powerful Truchen is, its population is only a few hundred thousand. After our country has accepted a large number of Cossacks, nomadic tribes, Central Europeanslavs, and Germans, its population has expanded to nearly 30 million."

"Even if they are in a hundred years, they will not be our opponents, unless a miracle happens. According to the consensus of the Tsar, the frontier minister, and the Tatar Duke of Kazan Province, it would be better if they continue to surrender"

"If not, they will continue to build castles, build roads, dig mining, set up factories, and wait until all of this is ready, then defeat them with thunder and then take them all into the empire. Before that, we can wait and see what changes will happen"

"By the way, teacher, how did you come here?"

Lomonosov said: "Originally, I only went to Astrakhan to preside over the opening ceremony of the school there, and commended the first Tatar university student. I picked up a book on the way back to Moscow, which was this one."

"I didn't care at all. I didn't understand any of the words there, but it was deeply attracted by the illustrations inside. When I thought that my most outstanding student was still in Cuban, and according to the entourage, this book was mostly from Truchen, who was close to Cuban, so I turned back here."

"By the way, what are you planning now?"

"After writing to the relevant parties last time, although they did not have the idea of ​​dealing with Truchen immediately, they also strengthened the defense of the Kuban-Taman area, and then transferred 3,000 households from the Don River Cossack to migrate here. With the original troops, there is already a division here."

"The empire is in Azov again, Mariupol and Khlsson set up a navy. From my perspective, if you want to completely control the Western Ukraine region, you must first take down Crimea"

"In the last war with the Crimeans, our country was greatly advantageous. General Lasi even captured and burned down their capital. The reason for his retreat was that he was short of food and grass, and the other was that he suddenly had a large-scale plague"

"Since I have controlled the Taman Peninsula, I can use ships to cross the Kerch Strait to launch a large-scale attack. In recent years, I have not only expanded it into a division, but also stored a large amount of food. Of course, Truchen has also made a lot of contributions"

"By the way, I just talked about the plague. The smallpox that is now popular in the whole world seems to be well controlled in Truchen. Although it happens from time to time, they can quickly control it in a very small range. God, why is this?"

"Okay, let's not talk about this, our enemy is still the Ottomans, who occupy the lower Danube. If we want to shave hundreds of years of shame in the Christian world, we must cross the Dnieper River to occupy Western Ukraine and thus be adjacent to them."

"Southeast Europe, there are still a large number of Orthodox Christians. As the most orthodox orthodox escort in the world, it is a shame to let a large number of Orthodox creep at the feet of the Ottomans"

"We must advance there to rescue him, and we must conquer Crimea before that"

"If we want to conquer Crimea, there will be no mistakes in the rear. In the southern grassland area, not only the Kalmyks, Bashkirs, and Tatars are not at ease, so the overall situation is only the most important thing at the moment."

"Teacher, since you are here, what are your plans for the past few days?"

"I want to visit Truchen and visit their school"

"This..., OK, I'll try to arrange it"

"By the way, I've discovered something again these days"

"Oh?"

"Since the loss of Azov Fortress and Mariupol, the Ottomans have only retained two ports on the east coast in the Azov Sea, and there are still some farmland nearby. In my opinion, once the war begins, these two places will have to surrender."

"But recently, I have found that they seem to have signs of continuing to expand the defense power of Yeshi City. Ships are constantly transporting people there. They can not only expand castles, docks, and build large ships, but also open up a lot of farmland to the outside."

"Who is it clear?"

"It's Crimeans, you know that there are a large number of white people who have been captured from Europe on the peninsula. Most of them are Slavs. After hundreds of years, they can no longer speak Slavic language. They are all Turkic words. However, the Tatars still let them marry white women who have been captured."

"In order to become their serfs for generations, some of them continued to farm and grazed along the coast of Yes as serfs, while some of them were probably incorporated into the army as Jenicheri"

"Is there any problem?"

"There are only two possibilities. One is that the Ottomans are unwilling to lose control of the Sea of ​​Azov and are preparing to regroup and make a comeback. In order to restrain our Astrakhan Legion and Cuban Legion, they will definitely set up troops on the east coast of the Sea of ​​Azov"

"Secondly, they think they have a magic weapon that can deal with us. As for what this magic weapon is, it is unknown"

"Can't you go to the city to have a look?"

"Although we signed an agreement and sent ambassadors to each other, we were an enemy country after all, so it was not so easy to get in. Besides, all the supplies in the city came from the sea. If we wanted to figure out the situation, or mix into the fleet, or attack the ship, the war would start in advance."

At this moment, the bell rang.
