That evening.
These serfs ate their fill of freshly baked rye bread.
Everyone was able to get a large piece of meat.
Everyone gets a large bottle of wine.
Laughter and cheers filled the entire manor.
Jiang Tian nodded in satisfaction after seeing it.
Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba walked over from the side.
"My lord, how strong are these people in terms of combat power?"
"Most of them have never even touched a gun."
Jiang Tian smiled slightly and looked into the distance.
"These Russians are like this by nature. How much fighting power do you think the soldiers brought by Bezukhov's two sons can have?"
They're all a bunch of rabble.
Only when these rabble fight each other can they achieve the greatest effect.
Jiang Tian's goal was not to let either side win.
His goal was to deplete the strength of the Rakshasa Kingdom.
The more rebellions like this, the better.
The more rebellions there are, the more battles will ensue.
The more battles there are, the more obviously the resources of the Luosha Kingdom will be depleted.
...
the next day.
Those serfs who had eaten and drunk their fill were all given guns.
With guns in their hands, they felt more confident.
Regardless of their performance on the battlefield, they are now full of confidence.
"Konsky, order your men to train them."
"Sir, what level can be achieved in two or three days?" Konstantin asked, looking utterly helpless and speechless.
"We'll train them to whatever level they can reach. Their million-strong army isn't just some random serf army."
"As long as our morale surpasses theirs on the battlefield, that's enough."
"yes……"
Konstantin turned to his 100-plus men and said, "All of you, listen up! Training begins today. Each of you will train 10,000 men. The main focus will be on training them to fire on the move..."
The more than 100 men under Konsky were completely dumbfounded when they heard this.
They might not even be able to shoot accurately when standing at attention, let alone shoot while moving. It's like trying to walk before you've even learned to crawl.
"A major battle is about to break out, and we don't have that much time to waste here."
"Hurry up, His Majesty the Tsar is watching us..."
The more than 100 palace guards quickly dispersed. Regardless of how well they could be trained, they were being forced into it.
…………
The Imperial Palace.
Catherine's office.
"Your Majesty, more than one million serf soldiers are training in an orderly manner."
"With Lord Jiang Tian personally overseeing things, we should be able to weather this crisis."
Hearing Konstantin say that, Ekaterina relaxed a little.
"We must never relax our reconnaissance of the enemy; I need to know their movements at any time."
Where are they now?
"It's still a day's journey from here."
Catherine: "I think these 1 million serf soldiers are enough to meet the enemy, and there is no need to put the battlefield outside St. Petersburg."
"Your Majesty, I think so too."
"I believe we should take the initiative to meet the enemy head-on. This way, whether we win or lose, we will have ample time to prepare for the next step."
"Summon Lord Jiang Tian, I want to see him," said the young girl, Ekaterina, with a frown.
"promise……"
Ten minutes later.
Jiang Tian arrived at the palace gate.
One after another, golden doors slowly opened in front of him.
Jiang Tian walked in slowly.
Ekaterina was already standing there waiting for him.
“Darling, if it weren’t for you, I really don’t know how I would have faced this crisis.”
"It's too early to say that now. What we need to do now is to completely crush the enemy."
“My dear,” Ekaterina looked at Jiang Tian with deep affection, “I think these more than one million serf soldiers should take the initiative to attack. There is no need for them to wait for the enemy to invade on the outskirts of St. Petersburg.”
That's exactly what I meant.
Jiang Tian said that.
Ekaterina was extremely excited.
"Really?"
"Of course it is true... However, this battle will consume a lot of money and food."
"The property of Bezukhov and all the princes and ministers you captured has been confiscated."
All the money and food will be entrusted to you for unified distribution.
"Just have someone prepare a summary of the accounts and bring it up for me to see."
"With a major battle imminent, there's no time to find someone to keep these accounts," Jiang Tian rejected the idea with a single sentence. "Our scouts have already discovered that the million-strong enemy army is only about a day's journey away from us."
Completely annihilating them will not be an easy task.
I have to go and lead troops into battle now.
Ekaterina nodded. The young girl walked up to Jiang Tian, opened her arms and hugged him tightly, pressing her pretty face against his chest.
"Jiang Tian, I really didn't expect that you, as a person of the Great Xia Dynasty, would treat me so well."
"I really don't know how to thank you."
Jiang Tian glanced at Ekaterina.
He took a close look at the little girl's eyes.
A person can lie, but the eyes don't lie.
Ekaterina, this little girl, had a pair of deep blue eyes as pure as water, which didn't seem like she was lying.
"After I get back from this battle, I'll have some fun."
The young girl nodded emphatically: "When you return in triumph, you can do whatever you want."
