Although the Wushan Mountains divide the Eurasian continent into two, the altitude is not very high. The northern part of the mountain range is the highest, but there are no high mountains that exceed 600 feet. The central and southern part of the mountain range is even low, and there are few high mountains that exceed 400 feet, usually only more than 300 feet, and in some places it is even less than 200 feet, which is far inferior to the famous mountains and rivers in the Ming Dynasty.

The Wushan Mountains are not a continuous mountain range, but are divided into several sections, with huge gaps between each section, which are quite convenient to pass. For example, the southern army led by Cao Wenzhao is now camping at the connection between the middle section of Wushan and the southern section of Wushan. The gap here is quite large, and there is even a big river in the middle that directly passes through the Wushan Mountains and enters the continental territory.

The river next to the Ming army camp in the south road flows into the continent, so it is naturally not a tributary of the Ob River. The closest tributary to the Ob River is more than 200 miles away, so Lu Xiang did not rise very quickly.

Since the railway was not built, Lu Xiangsheng could only lead the Ming army from the East Road to the north from the Yeni River to enter the Arctic Ice Ocean, then turn into the main trunk of the Ob River, go upstream and rush here. It took more than ten days for the ship alone. After getting off the ship from the nearest Ob River tributary, he had to lead his army to travel more than 200 miles of land.

Therefore, Cao Wenzhao camped at the foot of Wushan for more than half a month before waiting for Lu Xiangsheng's eastern army. However, at this time, the Tsarist Russian peace talks envoy Kopelov had just been pushed back by him for a few days, and perhaps he had not returned to the Tsarist Russian imperial capital. The issue of peace talks was not very urgent.

Was Lu Xiangsheng here to preside over the peace talks? It doesn't seem like that. If he comes to preside over the peace talks, he would not have to bring all the 300,000 Ming troops on the east road. Moreover, the first thing he said when he saw Cao Wenzhao was: "The emperor had an order to quickly gather all the prisoners, build the railway from the tributary of the Ob River to the Wushan line, and build Wushan City east of Wushan as the core of the entire Wushan defense line."

This means it is like a peace talk, otherwise there is no need to establish a Wushan defense line and just hit it.

However, Lu Xiangsheng was not responsible for this peace talk. Zhu Cijing had already made arrangements. Zheng Zhilong, the king of Zhennan, had already set out from Nanyang Xingchenggang to preside over the peace talks. It was not that he did not believe in Lu Xiangsheng's ability. The main reason was that the Ming Dynasty would put forward an unprecedented huge compensation request this time, and he was afraid that Lu Xiangsheng would not be able to say it.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't know that the emperor wanted the lion to open his mouth at this moment, but he only knew that Wushan City should be built as soon as possible according to the emperor's will.

It is naturally necessary to build a city. It is difficult to build a city in places with inconvenient transportation because it is difficult to transport materials. Therefore, the first step is to build a railway from the tributary of the Ob River to Wushan, so that materials can be transported to Rem City through the Western Regions Railway, and then transported from the Rem River to the nearby Ob River tributary, and then transported to the foot of Wushan by railway.

Construction of railways is not a rare thing for the Ming army. Most Ming army soldiers have had experience in building railways. A railway of more than 200 miles is just a piece of cake for the 600,000 Ming army soldiers. In addition, there is a mountain bike to drive mountains and gravel, and the roadbed is quickly paved. There is no need to cut the sleepers now. Just pour them out with reinforced concrete. Once the supplies from Rem City arrive, this section of railway will be completed soon.

However, trains are a problem, because this section of railway is still a separate section for the time being and is not connected to other railways. The train cannot drive at all, so it can only be dismantled into pieces and transported by ship.

Fortunately, Rem City is not very far from here. It took less than ten days to go down from the Rem River and then go upstream from the main trunk of the Ob River to enter the nearest tributary. Moreover, the two Ming troops in the southeast are gathered here, which means that the two thousand lucky ships of the Ming Dynasty Royal Shipping Company are all nearby, and the transportation capacity is quite sufficient.

Lu Xiangsheng analyzed the current situation and issued a lot of transfer orders through telegram:

Mau Wenlong led the Dongjiang Army to take over all the prisms and Rem City defenses in the Yeni River Basin;

Ma Xianglin led the Second Border Defense Army Corps to take over all the bastions in the Ob River Basin and strengthen defense;

He ordered Sun Chuanting to lead the Qin army to escort 200,000 prisoners from various countries in the Western Regions to join;

Man Gui led the Liaodong army to escort all the Tsarist Russian prisoners who were scattered and confined to join, etc.

Now the Ming army has taken over the entire Siberian Plain, and the Western Regions and Yenihe are no longer the front line of border defense. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng moved the entire defense line forward to the Wushan line. In this way, the entire Wushan line gathered nine regular army corps of the Ming army and three regular naval corps. Even if the European powers exert their efforts to attack, it would be useless.

The Ming army's transportation capacity was indeed not enough. Within half a month, Sun Chuanting led the Qin army to escort 200,000 prisoners from various countries in the Western Regions, and also brought countless supplies, some for building cities and railways.

The three marshals of the Ming Empire Army gathered again, and the construction of railways and cities was launched at the same time, and the foot of Wushan suddenly became very lively.

Soon Man Gui also led the Liaodong army to escort the Russian prisoners. This time the number of prisoners was more. Because the Ming army's weapons and equipment were too advanced, the advanced ones were desperate, the Tsarist Russian defenders in the bastions did not resist desperately. They desperately avoided shells and surrendered, so the vast majority of them were captured. Therefore, the Tsarist Russian defenders captured this time actually reached a terrifying 300,000!

At this point, the Ming army had gathered 800,000 regular troops and 500,000 prisoners at the foot of Wushan, and even the battalion exceeded 100 miles. The formation was so huge that it was scary.

At this time, Kopelov ran over again. At this time, all the envoys from the European powers had arrived, and the armies of various countries were gathering in the Nordic waters, so he was even more arrogant than last time. If you don’t accept it, you will come to fight. He really wanted to tell the man surnamed Cao that if you don’t retreat, you will really fuck you.

However, he was scared before he arrived at the Ming army camp. There was a city wall here, and there was no sight of the side wall. Although the city wall had not been completed, the scale was already scary enough. The Ming army actually wanted to build a big city here!

When he saw the dense figures on the city wall, there were many people wearing Tsarist Russian uniforms. To hell, the Ming army actually asked Tsarist Russian prisoners to build the city wall to deal with Tsarist Russia.

Due to the blockade of the Ming army, the spies of Tsarist Russia could not get close to the Ming army camp at all. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Tsarist Russia and the European powers would not have known that the Ming army was building a city here.

This is obvious that the troops will not be withdrawn, especially the use of Tsarist Russian prisoners to build the city wall. Kopelov felt that he could no longer bear it. He came to the Ming army camp in anger, but was shocked again. The Ming army camp had expanded three or four times. How many Ming army had he come to this!

However, when he thought of five great powers supporting him, his arrogance came up again. After all, the Ming Empire was just one country. Do he dare to go to war with six great powers at the same time? They didn't dare to do anything.

When he followed the Ming army translator arrogantly into a tent, he was wrong and didn't turn his nose awkward. The deputy marshal named Cao did not sit in the main seat, but sat on the left side with a Ming army general who was also wearing a marshal's uniform. The Ming army general in the middle, who was wearing a marshal's uniform, must be the Grand Marshal of the Ming Empire Army.

After he agreed to receive instructions from his superiors, he sent someone to inform him. Now that his immediate boss has arrived, he is still kept in the dark, he finally understood that this Cao surnamed has been perfunctory from beginning to end and did not take him seriously at all!

He sat down angrily and asked bluntly: "What does your Ming Empire mean?"

Lu Xiangsheng was not Cao Wenzhao. Although he was not responsible for the peace talks, he was the boss of the Ming army. He had a lot of generals under his command. A small Tsarist Russian general dared to speak to him in such a tone. He asked without hesitation: "What do you Tsarist Russian mean?"

With the support of the great powers, Kopelov said arrogantly: "What we mean is to let you withdraw from the entire Siberia immediately."

Lu Xiangsheng snorted and said coldly: "Dream."

Kopelov was so angry that he immediately threatened: "You must consider it clearly. Our Tsarist allies have begun to assemble large troops, and you are going to face the six-nation coalition."

Lu Xiangsheng knew the combat effectiveness of the Ming army best, so what about the Six-Nation Alliance? He said without changing his expression: "If you fight, you're afraid you won't succeed?"
