I want to speak but stop, I sort out my language, and I want to stop talking but want to say something.

The history of Tsarist Russia left behind the rich colors of Alexei I and Mikhailovich. No matter how you look at it, it is the same as the common emoticon pack in later generations.

After a while of silence, Mihailoviz spoke: "Cossack's discipline has always been like this. This time it appeared because the logistics supply could not keep up. I believe that when the logistics follow, it will not appear again."

Although he said that, in fact, even Mihailovic himself did not believe such nonsense.

The Cossacks have never had discipline. In the minds of these cavalrymen who were not willing to dismount and fight, there was no difference between the enemy and their own people, nor was there any difference between civilians and the army.

Compared with European knights who pay attention to some "chival spirit", they are more like brave, cruel and unruly high-level bandits.

Because during the years of war, they have become cruel and robbed in battle and plunder, and even raped and plundered in plunder, killing them all, both young and old, and are cruel and cruel, even more cruel than ordinary bandits.

I hope that such a person will have any sense of discipline unless the sun rises from the west.

Unfortunately, even Tsarist Russia, their sun rose from the east, not the west, just like the Ming Empire.

Nikon obviously knew what kind of virtues the Cossacks were. He didn't say much at the moment, but nodded and said, "Since this is the case, we have to speed up the delivery of supplies. In any case, we can't make new problems with the Cossack Cavalry."

Mikhailovich hummed and said, "If we follow the progress of the Cossack Cavalry, it is estimated that at most one month, or even half a month, they will be able to fight the army of the Ming Empire."

Nikon pondered: "No matter what, you should be prepared."

"What are you preparing for? How to retreat? How to surrender to the Ming Empire after failure or give up the entire Tsarist Russia and march into Europe in full swing?"

When the conversation reached this point, Mikhailovich felt that there was nothing that could not be said. In fact, when the troops were slow to move eastward, from the moment deserters appeared in those troops, Mikhailovich knew that there would be such a day.

Nikon said: "No matter what you prepare, you always have to prepare, right?"

If all the troops were assembled in Moscow, or all the troops were willing to advance eastward to fight against the Ming Empire, then we don’t have to worry now.

But now? A large number of troops and materials are stranded on the Polish border and are unwilling to advance eastward or even return to Moscow. If they force them to come back, they may not end up in the end.

As for the Cossack cavalry, if Khmelnikki was really capable, he would not have been beaten by the Poles to ask for help from the Empire, and he would have been even less likely to obey the Empire's rule.

Although they have moved east now, we cannot put all our hopes on Khmelnikki and others, as it would be unwise."

After acting as an emoticon again, Mihailovich sighed and waved his hand, "You go back first, I want to be alone and quiet."

Nikon nodded, stood up and nodded to Mikhailovic, and then stood up and left the Kremlin, leaving Mikhailovic alone in the palace.

Mikhailovic naturally saw clearly the problems mentioned by Nikon and was also very clear about what he was going to face.

If other troops are unwilling to advance eastward, what if all ten Cossack cavalry regiments are pressed up? No matter how awesome the cavalry is, they must have logistics and infantry, otherwise they will be like big trees without roots and will easily fall.

To take a step back, the awesome Cossack cavalry does not require supplies and late stages, nor does it require the coordination of infantry. You can walk around the world with a war horse and a saber alone. Is there another bird for it?

Can you defend the territory? Or can you repel the attack of the Ming Empire?

If Cossacks were not as awesome as he imagined, and could neither repel the attack of the Ming Empire nor defend their territory, it would be as Patriarch Nikon said, and it would be time to consider what happened next.

What makes Mikhailovich confused now is what to do next.

It is impossible to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Even if all the ministers and nobles of Tsarist Russia surrender to the Ming Empire, it is impossible to surrender to the Ming Empire.

After all, even if they are willing to lick the Tatar boots, will the Tatars definitely let them lick them? Will they give themselves that opportunity?

Peace talks are basically impossible.

No matter what the final result of the war is, no matter how cowardly the nobles and military are now, as long as they show their intention to negotiate with the Ming Empire, they will rush forward and let themselves get out of the position of the Tsar.

It seems that there is only one last way left.

Giving up the entire Siberia, giving up all the land in the Far East, and allowing the Ming Empire to erode, the entire Tsarist Russia took this opportunity to move westward, kill Poland first, and turn Poland's land into Tsarist Russia's land.

However, if you want to move west now, you also face a big problem.

I had already issued an order before, requiring all the troops and materials to be transferred back to Moscow and then to advance eastward to the Ming Empire. Now if I suddenly ordered the transfer to stop and continue to march westward, what would the army react?

Indeed, such an order will definitely satisfy those troops who do not want to be in front of the Ming Empire, but will also dissatisfie the nobles and the church.

This is also why I asked Nikon to go back first.

After a while of silence, Mihailoviz whispered: "Go and invite Gregory to see me."

Gregory, who was in charge of the entire Tsarist Russian army, soon arrived at the Kremlin and apologized as soon as he saw Mikhailovich: "I'm sorry, I've disappointed you."

After shaking his head, Mihailoviz spoke: "It's nothing. Although I'm reluctant to accept this result, I can understand the soldiers' thoughts. After all, no one is willing to fight against the monster of the Ming Empire."

As soon as Mikhailovich spoke, Gregory was startled.

It seemed that just one afternoon later, Mikhailovich, the supreme ruler of Tsarist Russia, had a hoarse voice, which was almost unimaginable for Mikhailovich, who was very concerned about maintaining her body.

After another silence, Mihailoviz spoke: "I asked you to come, not because I wanted to pursue these meaningless things, but because I wanted to discuss other things with you."

Grigori, who was uneasy in his heart, bowed and said, "Please give me instructions?"

Mihailovich said: "In this situation, there are only two ways left for the empire to choose, or only one left.

First, support the Cossack Cavalry Regiment, let them continue to advance eastward to deal with the invasion of the Ming Empire, and also the troops in the west that are unwilling to come back now, let them continue to advance westward."

Gregory's face turned red.

It was so embarrassing. He was in charge of all the entire Tsarist Russian army, but now there was a situation where the army was afraid of fighting and was unwilling to come back to defend Moscow. What else could this mean besides his incompetence? It showed the power and terrifyingness of the Ming Empire?

However, Gregory had no good idea, and even Mikhailovich said it was difficult to support the Cossack Cavalry to advance eastward.

Those troops stayed in the west and were unwilling to come back. What should they use to support the Cossack Cavalry? What should they use to transport supplies to them? Are the troops left by Tsarist Russia?

If those armies had that strength, would they still have to be left to guard rather than expedition?

Seeing that Glicoli's face was not very good, Mikhailovich couldn't help laughing: "Why, it's so difficult to transport supplies to the Cossack Cavalry?"

Seeing Mikhailovich's smile bitterly, Grigoli bowed and said, "As you can see, the current army is not interested in fighting the Ming Empire at all. The remaining troops have not yet had any problems, but it is just because the Ming Empire has not launched a full-scale attack.

If the Ming Empire launched a full-scale attack now, how long can those left-behind troops last? Now they have to send them to face the attack of the Ming army, I am afraid that they will surrender in an established manner, or simply lead the way for the Ming Empire's troops?"

Although he had expected such a result in his heart, Mikhailovic still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

After a while, Mihailoviz, who had endured the bitterness, said, "Since this is the case, there is only a second way left to go, so that the troops that were originally preparing to advance west will continue to advance west. However, the combat purpose of their advance west will be revised.

Originally they were going to support Poland and launch an attack on the Holy Roman Empire. Now, let them attack immediately after entering Poland and turn the target into Poland."

As if scared by Mikhailovich's words, Gregory opened his mouth but made no sound, but just lowered his head and replied yes.

Mikhailovich said with a smile, "Isn't it strange, why did I suddenly attack Poland? Especially when the Ming Empire is attacking us?"

After a while of silence, Gregory bowed and said, "Yes, the Empire can't support both sides fighting at the same time now. Your decision doesn't seem to be very wise?"

After laughing loudly, Mihailoviz said, "There is no way. The military does not dare to fight the Ming Empire. They are all willing to shrink their heads as turtles.

Seeing that a large area of ​​land was about to become the territory of the Ming Empire, and Tsarist Russia would likely completely lose the Far East in the future, I had to leave a way out for Tsarist Russia.

At least, after taking over Poland, even if he lost the Far East, Tsarist Russia still had a piece of land in his hands, which could allow Tsarist Russia's nobles and civilians to live in.

The most important thing is, is this situation fighting on both sides now? The Cossack Cavalry Regiment that fought against the Ming Empire had no supplies, no logistics, and no infantry support.

A large number of troops and supplies had already gathered on the Polish border, and they had no courage to come back, and they were not as happy as they knew they were going to enter Europe. Those cowards! Cowards! Judas!"

Glicauri was a little confused. Almost anyone who was not blind could see that Mikhailovich's mental state is very abnormal now and there is a clear tendency to be out of control.

Grigori felt like a mute eating yellow lotus. He had trouble saying that he wanted to persuade him but didn't know where to start. However, it was obvious that he would not be able to persuade him. What should I do if I didn't persuade him? What can I do?

What made Glicoli very glad that after a hysterical vent, Mikhailovic became more and more normal: "I'm sorry, I just lost my composure, please don't care.

What I want to say is that the only thing we can do now is to let the army go west to Poland, take down Poland's land, and fight for the last retreat for Tsarist Russia.

As for the Holy Roman Empire, don’t provoke them for the time being. Since they have become a group with the Ming Empire now, it is not a good time to provoke them.

As for the Cossacks, I will send someone to stare at them. If the situation is wrong, I will immediately ask them to withdraw and let them participate in the Western Expedition to Poland."

After nodding, Gregory said again: "So, where is the church? Will Patriarch Nikon agree to this plan?"

Mikhailovich waved his hand and ordered, "Prepare as I said, I am the Tsarist Russia, and Patriarch Nikon is the Patriarch of the Church, and I will communicate with him."

Gregory couldn't help but feel shocked at the information revealed in Mikhailovic's words, and immediately saluted Mikhailovic and said goodbye.

Nikon, who had just left the Kremlin, was called back by Mikhailovic again, and he couldn't help but wonder what Mikhailovic was thinking.

After Nikon heard Mikhailovich's plan, although he was reluctant, he had to admit that this was almost the only option available at the moment, and the only option that would benefit both Tsarist Russia and the church.

After thinking about it, Nikon still spoke: "Are you sure the Cossack Cavalry will follow your order, withdraw and fight westward? Or is it the Cossack Cavalry that was brought back or the Cossack Cavalry that made Europeans frightened?"

Mikhailovich said: "If they can resist the attack of the Ming Empire, what can they do if they don't withdraw? What can they do if Tsarist Russia once again gives up Poland and switch to an expedition to the east?

If they could not resist the attack of the Ming Empire, then they would either withdraw or die, and there was a third way to give them a choice?"

After a while of silence, Nikon said, “Yes.”
