During the Three Years of the Ming and Russia War, the Russian army had lost half of it.

This winter, Russian cities rarely held dance parties, and instead silently gathered in the cold to check the published list of victims.

Due to the tense war, rising prices and the people were living in poverty, and the people's sentiment against the Tsar was growing. Tsar Alexey decided to command the war himself and make a quick decision.

He believed that he had the responsibility to unite the Russian civil and military ministers to save the fate of the Romanov dynasty in crisis.

In October, Tsar Alexei delivered an exciting speech at the Kremlin of Moscow.

He said: "The Tsar does not command wars from hundreds of miles away from the battlefield, but should appear in war!"

After saying this, Alexey announced his personal expedition.

But the ministers expressed it was difficult for them to accept that the Russian army was in a period of continuous defeat. If the Tsar Majesty did not have the confidence to turn defeat into victory, it would be useless if he went there. Instead, he would lose his prestige and be unfavorable to the rule of the dynasty. The riots below would become more and more intense.

Alexey sincerely thanked the ministers for their kindness, but still quietly announced that he would "in-chief the emperor."

He was also a decisive master. He packed up his things and rushed to the front line that day, throwing Moscow to the queen.

Alexey inherited the tsar and often visited the front lines of the war. He also personally conquered Poland several times. He liked the atmosphere of the military camp and the comments of military experts in the officers' canteen.

He even brought the prince Peter, who had just turned five, to the front line, allowing him to feel the atmosphere of war since he was a child.

Alexey's actions showed infinite confidence to the Russians and successfully diverted the attention of the people at home.

Before leaving, he said to the people: "If we cannot repel the Ming army, we will become their slaves and make them cows and horses!"

The Russians changed from being secretly insulted the Tsar in the beginning to cursing the Ming army, and the Russian army's conscription activities became smoother.

On the third day of November, I heard that the Tsar was coming to the front headquarters of the Moscow River, and the Duke of Croix, who was commanding on the front line, hurried to pay homage.

When Duke Crois and others arrived, they saw the Tsar's ceremonial guard from afar, surrounded by many princes and ministers. On both sides of their side, there were still excellent soldiers. Their military appearance was purged and the flags were clear.

From the flag, we can judge that there are the Emperor's Legion of the Guards of His Majesty, the Constantine Legion of the Guards, the Stelz Legion, the Northern Legion, etc. The banks of the Moscow River are covered with fully armed Russian soldiers.

Russia has always faced threats from the Swedes and Poles in the north, and the Ottomans in the south are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Therefore, Russia needs a huge army to protect its own interests. Unfortunately, the army that Alexey took over was a group of low-quality and extremely lazy mobs, and had no ability to assume military responsibilities.

They were once humiliated to be defeated by the Crimean Tatars.

Alexey once said: "The army I took over is not reliable even against the barbarians, let alone the civilized Ming Dynasty!"

Therefore, after Alexei took charge of Tsarist Russia, he carried out large-scale military reforms, but the reform was so difficult. He worked hard for more than ten years and only half of the Russian army had been reformed.

The rest are all things that cannot be supported by mud.

Today, the most outstanding army in Russia is the Stelz Legion, that is, the shooting army.

This army of nearly 50,000 strong soldiers was established in 1555 and was grouped into 22 regiments, of which 16 were deployed in Moscow, Novgorod and Pskov each with three.

For a hundred years, they were the essence of the Imperial Guards and the entire Russian army!

In the past, the shooting army was generally equipped with either spears or a mezzanine and a Russian machete that could be used as a mezzanine bracket. The ratio of spears and muskets was about one to three.

Since the Russian army carried out major reforms and major changes, the equipment of the shooting army has been completely replaced. Like the Emperor's direct legion of the Guards, half of them are equipped with the most advanced front-mounted rifle rifles (high imitation and tripod rifles).

At present, the elite and all forces of the Russian army gather here, and the Russian army deployed along the Moscow River had more than 200,000 troops.

Alexey was a very capable tsar. His status in Russia was comparable to that of Emperor Tianwu of the Ming Empire and had a strong prestige in the army.

As soon as he appeared, the Russian soldiers around him cheered excitedly, and everyone was excited. Even the soldiers who had suffered defeats had inexplicably developed a sense of self-confidence.

Seeing the Tsar coming, Duke Croix subconsciously shivered.

In the Battle of Ryazan, the Russian army suffered heavy losses and the morale of the army fell sharply. Perhaps it was because of concerns about the unstable frontlines, and the Tsar had never dealt with himself.

Now that the Tsar is here in person, he may have to kill him to sacrifice his flag.

Alexey was wearing an army uniform with sharp and cold eyes. After Duke Croix and others saluted one by one, he raised his right hand to the soldiers who were cheering wildly, and said in a majestic and low voice: "I solemnly swear that as long as there is an enemy in the land of Russia, there will be no peace!"

"Ula!"

"Ula!"

A burst of cheers of tsunamis burst out around him, and all the Russian soldiers raised their arms and waved them vigorously.

Upon hearing this, the more uneasy the Duke of Croix felt.

Alexey looked around and enjoyed the support of the army. This time he went to fight, solving the national crisis was the primary issue, and there were also ideas to compete with Emperor Tianwu of the East.

Alexey is the same age as Zhu Cixuan, with similar interests and hobbies, and his life trajectory is largely the same.

Occasionally, when outsiders evaluated the two emperors, they both praised Emperor Tianwu and secretly stepped on the Tsar. Alexey was a person with strong self-esteem and could not accept this reality.

When the alliance with the countries to fight against the Ming Dynasty, it failed and the blow to him was even greater, and Alexey worked harder.

However, his old opponent Zhu Tianwu didn't seem to take him seriously. This time he actually brought people to kill him. Alexey decided to prove to the world with a beautiful annihilation battle that he was better than Zhu Tianwu!

Winter is coming, and the Russian army has a great chance of winning, and this is the best time!

Not only did Alexey not deal with Duke Croix, he also personally patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, and asked about the specific situation on the front line.

Duke Croix wiped his tears and was grateful, praising the Tsar's greatness and kindness loudly, and then reported to Alexey that the Russian army's position was chosen in the village in front of the Moscow River.

The front of the position is sixteen miles wide, with many villages and old castles as frontier positions.

The right wing is close to the Moscow River; the left wing is connected to the difficult-to-pass forest; the center is supported by highlands; there are forests and shrubs behind, which facilitates hidden deployment of troops and maneuvers.

"Our army has complete fortifications built on its positions, which can force the Ming army to forcibly fight with us on terrain that is unfavorable to it!" Duke Croix said authentically.

Alexey thoughtfully, ordered people to take a military map, carefully marked the name, and nodded from time to time.

Duke Croix was a follower of the Tsar in his early years. He had excellent military command capabilities and was the ever-winning marshal of Tsarist Russia. His only disadvantage was that he was fucking arrogant and he would seize the enemy's flaws and seize the enemy's strengths.

In the battle of Ryazan, he made a big mistake in this regard, causing the Russian elite Cossacks to suffer heavy losses and collapse completely.
