Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1029

[Chapter 1021 Disturbing news]

“Your Majesty, this is news from Jinzhou.”

Qian Dafu entered the imperial study and placed a telegram in front of Xiao Ming.

Glancing at the contents of the telegram, Xiao Ming frowned. This telegram was sent by Qi Guangyi, but the incident occurred five days ago.

“The telegraph line has been laid to Jinzhou?” Xiao Ming pondered the contents of the telegram and asked Qian Dafu about the telegraph line. Now Qian Dafu seemed to have become his secretary.

“Back to the Emperor, we have arrived. This is the first telegram sent from Jinzhou.” Qian Dafu said with a smile, “In addition, Chang’an in the west and Jinling City in the south have also received telegrams. Many transfer stations have also been built.”

Xiao Ming was slightly satisfied with the laying of telegraph lines. Although war is now the main theme of the country, the development of domestic technology, industry and commerce has not stopped.

Especially at Qingzhou University, the division of majors is becoming more and more detailed, and corresponding research laboratories have been established in various colleges, such as bridge construction, civil engineering, applied chemistry, materials science, mineral exploration, mechanical physics, clinical medicine, etc. wait.

From the last year of the seventeenth century to the thirteenth year of the eighteenth century, in fourteen years, he used his huge technological library of technological crystals to finally establish a complete scientific system at the level of the mid-to-late nineteenth century.

More than ten years ago, Europe’s technological level was equivalent to that of the mid-to-late 18th century, a hundred years more advanced than the Great Chongqing at that time. But now, even if some of its technologies were obtained through despicable means, European technology is still far behind. behind.

“Well, the progress is pretty good.” After praising the progress of the construction, he only then seriously thought about the contents of the telegram.

According to Qi Guangyi, the leader of the barbarians, Gubat, was prepared to secretly cooperate with them on the condition that his tribe would become subjects of the empire and be able to live on the grasslands.

In the past, Xiao Ming would naturally not agree to this condition, because he could not tolerate the existence of grassland tribes on the grassland that could threaten the border.

But things are different now. The emergence of machine guns has brought an end to the era of cavalry. To him, the modern barbarians are just harmless little white rabbits. The only thing he needs is for the barbarians to surrender to him, and from then on they can live on the grassland. Herding horses, sheep, and cattle for him.

It’s just that under Dorgo’s rule, this thing was impossible to achieve. After all, his sons all died under his soldiers.

In addition, he also couldn’t bear the thought of Dorgo bringing his tribe to Tsarist Russia, because this would undoubtedly enhance Tsarist Russia’s strength.

Therefore, he wanted to eliminate Dorgo at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains to prevent him from escaping to the Eastern European prairie.

Thinking of this, he drafted a battle report and asked Qian Dafu to send it to Jinzhou, and then pass it on to Qi Guangyi from Jinzhou. At the same time, he asked Qi Guangyi to be more vigilant in the battle report, because Tianshan spans contemporary southern Xinjiang and Kazakhstan in Central Asia, and Tsarist Russia here Getting closer.

Five days later, his order came into the hands of Qi Guangyi.

“The emperor means to cooperate with Gubat to eliminate the remaining forces of Dorgo’s Golden Horde.” After receiving the telegram, Qi Guangyi and Feng Dongjin said.

Nodding slightly, Feng Dongjin said: “This Gubat is a shrewd man. Unexpectedly, he guessed the emperor’s mind.”

“Yes, this Gubat is very good at reading the situation and knows how to adapt, but He is also a loser, but now that the empire is stronger, he can only turn to us. “Qi Guangyi said lightly, “In this case, send someone to contact Gubat immediately, and we must annihilate the Golden Horde Cavalry.”

Feng Dongjin was still hesitant, and asked: “What should we do if there is a scam? We must keep a hand against the barbarians.” After

his words fell, the soldiers suddenly started to make noise, and the two of them looked to the west. Go, and now a large number of black spots appeared directly in front of them.

Qi Guangyi looked through the binoculars and his heart sank. These black spots were the barbarian cavalry. He immediately shouted: “Get ready to fight!”

After his order was issued, the soldiers immediately mounted their horses and aimed their guns at the oncoming troops. The cavalry, but what surprised them was that these cavalry all stopped when they were five hundred meters away, and three barbarian cavalry came out from among the cavalry and came directly towards them.

Qi Guangyi saw the face of the visitor clearly through the telescope, and said in surprise: “It’s Gubat’s cavalry.”

Feng Dongjin also saw the visitor clearly, and he also looked surprised.

Seeing this, the two waited in front of the formation for a while, and soon Gubat arrived in front of them.

Seeing Gubat again, both Qi Guangyi and Feng Dongjin were a little surprised. At this time, Gubat still looked like a barbarian leader, completely like a defeated general.

At this time, his tattered armor was stained with solidified blood, and within half a step, you could smell a stench mixed with the smell of blood.

Behind him were soldiers and tribesmen who were in shock. All of them looked tired, with wandering fear in their eyes. There were even some injured soldiers moaning on the bullock carts. All of this told the two of them that Gubat It seems that a major change has occurred.

“Captain Gubat, what’s going on?” Qi Guangyi asked seriously.

With his Adam’s apple rolling up and down, Gubat sighed. He turned over and dismounted and said in a hoarse voice: “General Qi, Feng Changshi, something bad has happened.”

Qi Guangyi and Feng Dong looked at each other. He did not let the soldiers relax their vigilance and dismounted. The two arrived in front of Gubat.

Standing opposite each other, Gubat said with some shame: “Two generals, the plan has changed. Now our tribe cannot protect itself.”

“Why is this?” Qi Guangyi asked in confusion.

Gubat was a little sad and angry. He said, “Originally, everything could go smoothly, but I didn’t expect that a traitor would appear in my tribe and leaked my plan to Dolgo. Dolgo was so angry that he personally led his troops to sneak attack on my tribe. tribe.”

After a pause, he continued: “Originally, I wasn’t afraid of him. At most, we would both suffer losses, but I didn’t expect that the 30,000 Russian Cossats cavalry suddenly arrived. The 50,000 cavalry I led were defeated, so I had no choice but to attack him.”

“Gossart!” Gubat’s words made Qi Guangyi and Feng Dongjin solemn

.

.

“It’s absolutely true, they are the Cossart cavalry of Tsarist Russia. These cavalry are also equipped with firearms. We are no match at all.” Gubat looked desperate.

It was lucky that he could escape this time, but two-thirds of the clan members died under the strangulation of Dorgo and Gossart.

Qi Guangyi’s eyes rolled. In fact, he had this kind of worry during the westward march. After all, the further west you go, the closer you are to the Eastern European prairie, which is the birthplace of the Gossart cavalry.
