1480 Beacon Fire Songhua River

Songhua River was the boundary river between Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces in the Qing Dynasty, and it was also the largest tributary of Heilongjiang. Heilongjiang was the boundary of Jilin to the east, and the Ussuri River to the east. It also flowed from south to north and then flowed into Heilongjiang. After expanding the water volume, Heilongjiang, which expanded the water volume, was renamed the Amur River and left the territory of the Qing Dynasty and entered the Far East of Tsarist Russia.

It is indeed a very wise choice for the Russian Cavalry to choose the Songhua River Estuary to enter the three eastern provinces. First of all, the season selection is good. There is still ice and snow outside the gate in early April. The ice layer on the river surface is sufficient for horse racing. As long as the horse's hooves are wrapped with animal skins and straw, you don't have to worry about slipping. The daily marching speed can be guaranteed.

In addition, both sides of the river are relatively rich. Because of the convenience of rivers, villages and ports are densely populated, most of the high-quality wood outside the pass is transported to all parts of the country by rivers. It is naturally very convenient to replenish supplies in densely populated areas.

Gogol carried a large amount of gold and silver with his army, all of which were stolen from herders on the Mongolian grasslands. The gold and silver were enough for him to buy military rations, horse materials and other supplies along the way.

But things went against my wishes. The reputation of the Rakshasa ghost was already a stinking street outside the pass. When these cavalry rushed into the Songhua River in a black way, the villages on both sides fled.

The Qing army guarding the estuary of Songhua River knelt in the snow and cried loudly in the direction of the Forbidden City. He didn't understand why the general gave such an order. He had been guarding the estuary of Songhua River for a lifetime, and was guarding against the Russians on the other side, so why did he actually lead the wolf into the house today?

"It is hard to disobey the king's order, but it is hard to disobey the army's orders!" The garrison was full of passion, but he could not withstand the commander's military orders. Moreover, Tepqin was afraid of the troubles, so he even asked his aides to show him the secret telegram from the court.

When the garrison saw the secret telegram from the empress dowager and the prince, he gave up all resistance. The situation was no longer something that his small garrison could stop.

How could any dynasty have few loyal ministers? Not everyone has no heart for two hundred years of grace. Especially in the white mountains and black waters of Manchus' hometown, men who have not been infected by the prosperous material desires in the pass still remain simple back then.

"I can't kill you foreign thieves. Can I kill myself? Your Majesty! I haven't guarded the country's gate well, I deserve to die..."

Amid the crying, the garrison officer took advantage of the silence of the people and pulled out his waist and cut it down on his neck.

"General, don't..." Tepqin's aide was frightened, but how could a scholar stop the garrison general? The sharp sword directly cut his throat, and blood spurted out like an arrow.

"General...master..." There were not many loyal slaves in the Manchu family. The guards held the master's body and cried bitterly. The running Rakshasa ghosts kept looking at the river bank.

"The master is dead, and we can't survive... Just follow the master!"

"The heaven has eyes! The court, open your eyes and take a look! Don't let the hearts of us guards... Emperor, please wake up!"

According to the Eight Banners system, the slaves naturally have a bad crime of protection when their master died. In addition, these generals and officials have been following the garrison for many years and are no different from the family. Seeing this scene, the six personal soldiers wiped their necks without saying a word.

With a thud, the aide sent by Tepqin sat on the ground, and he was frightened silly, "The country... It's hard to see the loyalty of the country! It's hard to see the loyalty of the country... It's hard to see the loyalty of the country... It's hard to see the loyalty of the country... It's hard to see the loyalty of the country... It's hard to see the loyalty of the country... It's woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w

On the ice, Gogol and Fumanov watched this scene blankly. The cavalry behind them went south like a flood. The horse's hooves as big as bowls were wrapped in animal skins and straw. They stepped on the ice and snow and made a sound of muffled thunder.

Fumanov scratched his head, "I didn't expect that there were really a few bloody men in this Qing Empire! Damn it, if all the Qing people had some courage, then it would be difficult for us to deal with..."

Gogol looked up and saluted the dead body. He murmured, "The warriors are worthy of respect... But it's a pity that the national destiny of your Qing Dynasty is gone. It would be impossible to turn the tide if you count on one or two warriors!"

"Including the earth-shaking Xiao Letian in the south, it is just a reflection of the decline of China's national fortune! Eastern civilization has gained the upper hand for thousands of years, and it is our turn to counterattack in the Western world!"

"This is destiny, this is the general trend of the world, I believe it! Poor savior martyrs, you are just a group of old people guarding the grave!"

Fumanov looked at Gogol's mouth and muttered in confusion and asked, "What are you talking about? What are the good things about a few dead people? We should set off!"

"Yes, let's go! Vladivostok is not far away. General Tyachenko is waiting for us to rescue him! The whole army attacks..."

Facts have proved that the promises of the Rakshasa ghosts were absolutely unreliable. These beasts only believed in the prey of the weak. When the garrison's death letters began to be passed along the river, all the promises of Tsarist Russia became lies in the hearts of the people.

The people of the villages along the coast fled in panic, and people hid in the depths of the mountains with their families and their money and food that they could take away were taken away. Even if they could not take away, they would not leave them for the invaders even if they were burned.

"Run! The Rakshasa ghosts who gave birth to children are here. They break through the Songhua River mouth and kill. The guards are killed and countless soldiers are injured... Run!"

Rumors were spread along the river just like the wind, and the speed was faster than the cavalry charge. I thought I could use gold and silver to buy food and horse materials from local villagers, but Gogol found that all the villages along the way were abandoned, and the entire banks of the Songhua River were dead.

"What should I do?" Fumanov shouted loudly, "Our soldiers can be hungry for several days without eating, but war horses cannot go hungry. They must be replenished and beans are needed. It is better to have some eggs... Otherwise, if the horse is exhausted, we will not be able to fight at all!"

"What should I do! What should I do? This time, the Legion Commander will designate you as the main and I will serve as the auxiliary! You must make an idea..."

Gogory kept turning the handle while holding the horse whip in his hand. He racked his brains to think. Finally, the horse whip blew in the void and whipped the flower in the air.

"I ran away from the small village, but I couldn't run away from the big town... I robbed him! I don't care about any diplomatic conflict now, time is everything!"

Fumanov laughed and said, "That's right! You've been so happy, we've already eaten hot! Brothers speed up and ready to fight!"

The 20,000 troops tore off their hypocritical masks and began to rush to the big towns along the coast, Butcher, Fukejin, Sucheng, Kemai, Yindashui... The one-stop town leading to the Sanxing City was considered to be a disaster.

After all, rich households and merchants were stationed in those big towns, and their news was still very informative. They had already known the news that the Rakshasa ghosts had borrowed the Tao. They thought that these Rakshasa cavalry would not dare to blatantly plague towns with thousands of people, but people never expected that hungry ghosts would have no limit.

Towns were broken, granaries and horse yards were occupied, and all the materials used by the cavalry regiment were just one word, robbed!

If all the people who resisted were killed, in Fumanov's eyes, they would only steal your things and not massacre the city. This is already a great kindness. What else do you, a group of pagans, want to do?
