On both sides of the post road are continuous hills and endless dense forests. The name of Yitong City is entirely based on the Yitong River outside the city, which is an important tributary of the upper reaches of the Songhua River. Yitong City is located in the upper reaches of the Yitong River.

Since the Yitong River is located in the upper reaches, the river surface is not wide at this time, but due to the large mountain range, the small river can be deep enough, and the water flows rapidly, rolling forward from south to north.

A wooden bridge that can be parallel to two horses and carts communicates with the two banks of the river. To the west is the boundary of Liaoning and on the east bank is the territory of Jilin, this wooden bridge must have a century of history. The century-old pine nails are like river beds, and the bridge deck is full of regular logs. The dust and mud over the years have filled the gaps between the logs. People and horses have stepped on them into a layer of greasy black mud shells.

There is no one guarding this bridge on weekdays, but there are tax officials coming to collect taxes during the day. The people on both sides of the river do not feel like they are from the two provinces. They intermarry, get married, go to markets and visit each other on weekdays, and their lives are dull.

However, the Heilongjiang mutiny changed everything here. The people on both sides of the river saw that Yitong had more and more troops, especially the wooden bridge outside the city became the top priority of defense.

Every day, there were teams that continued to flow from the south. Although there were small troops with dozens of people striking, they could not resist it every day. As a result, the garrison in Yitong City quickly exceeded more than one thousand people in three battalions.

The people looked at the endless soldiers on the street in horror, and the city's public security deteriorated sharply. Those who stole, robbed, ate overlords, set up cards and ransom merchants, and even vicious cases of bullying women occurred.

In addition, there are more and more rumors in various versions, and the people around Yitong began to flee.

"Let's go quickly, Hunchun is preparing to enter the pass and attack Beijing City... It won't take three days for the whole place to be full of soldiers. The soldiers are like bandits. Will you lose your life if you don't leave?"

"Shengjing is in an emergency, General Du Xing'a has no soldiers available. All the elite soldiers of the previous ones have been transferred to the pass, and he can't defeat Hunchun at all..."

"Run, I heard that Hunchun also borrowed 100,000 soldiers from Prime Minister Xiao of Donghai. They are all elite soldiers that even the Rakshasa ghosts cannot defeat. We are no match for them at all..."

Rumors are everywhere, and the people are in panic! Not to mention that Yitong is in trouble, the entire three eastern provinces are in chaos, and Heilongjiang and Jilin are not bad. After all, the people have not figured out what is going on. The mutiny has ended, and the roads and roads are blocked, and the people have no place to escape if they want to.

The administrative efficiency in Liaoning is not as fast as Hunchun. A group of unexpected headless flies have almost no subconscious organizational defense. You can imagine this chaos.

I was able to do some training troops, but I forgot the military supplies, prepared food, and threw away the horse materials. The military and political affairs carefully considered the civil affairs but neglected it.

The soldiers began to mobilize the entire province, but the Anmin notice was not posted. How could this not be messed up?

Of course, it’s not that the civil servants are incompetent, but that they really don’t know how to write the Anmin notice, because the court has not set the tone for this mutiny so far, and no one knows whether to fight or appease the next step. Now they are writing randomly on their own initiative, wouldn’t they have to make a living in the future?

The military, government and civil affairs were in chaos, the road traffic was in chaos, and even bandits and thieves took advantage of the chaos to start wandering around to do business. The public security in the province was so chaotic that it was collapsed.

All of this is not the most worrying thing. If the people suffer a little loss, they will lose it. Anyway, officials serve as herds and the people serve as sheep. It is helpless to die some sheep in such a big coup.

The most terrible thing is Hunchun's attitude, which is what officials in Liaoning Province are most afraid of.

Hunchun is a famous Ningguta stubborn donkey outside the pass. This man is not greedy for money or lust. He loves to train and play, playing with soldiers all day long. As a result, his soldiers became the army with the highest average quality outside the pass.

Everyone knows that Hunchun's soldiers are powerful, but what is even more unexpected is that Hunchun dares to lead troops into Heilongjiang and lock up senior executives in a province. The pressure of the soldiers in Heilongjiang no one dares to cause trouble. I even heard that he directly confronted the Rakshasa ghost, which cheated countless gold from the Russians.

Even the Rakshasa ghosts are not afraid. How difficult is this kind of soldier to fight? During this period, all the temples, Taoist temples and great gods in Liaoning, all the shamans have good business, and many officials are burning incense and kowtowing to Hunchun and begging for him to use their own swords.

At that moment, countless officials hated him and said, "Damn it, why didn't Hunchun be squeezed out back then? Why did you leave such a person who is here to lead the army..."

At this moment, everyone forgot what happened back then. It was not that people did not covet Hunchun's position, but that the sudden Sino-Russian conflict scared countless corrupt officials.

Vladivostok was cut off, and the east bank of the Ussuri River became the territory of Tsarist Russia, and the Ningguta defense zone was reduced by half. When the situation was unclear, fools only went to grab the position in Hunchun. Corrupt officials also knew themselves, and they knew their weight. They really didn't dare to do so when they really guarded the national gate.

The special historical events made Hunchun, this mutiny, and this nightmare in the hearts of Qing officials.

I really wanted to come and go whatever I feared. Just when the Yitong sentry increased to two sentry forces, which was about the same as the two companies of the new army, there were suddenly people across the wooden bridge. The people on the bridge who were about to cross the river fled in panic. The people who wanted to enter Liaoning from afar hurriedly ran to both sides of the road.

"There are soldiers! There are soldiers coming... Hunchun sent troops here..."

The commander of the Yitong garrison stationed on the west side of the wooden bridge was a whistle commander. The locals called him Shen Heigou. At this moment, he was whipping the heads of a group of civilians with a whip.

"Damn bastard, are you corrupt about the arms we want? The list states fifty kilograms of gunpowder, two liters of lead bullet, five hundred kilograms of jerky meat, and eight hundred dans of rice. Why did 60% of the things come? What about the things..."

The old army who delivered supplies was whipped and rolled all over the ground. "Sir, please calm down! Sir, please calm down... I don't know these inside stories. I give you this way every year! I will give you as much as you give me. Discounts are also something you negotiate with the warehouse chief. It's useless for you to beat me..."

The veteran was begging for mercy, and the other civilians were so scared that they were on the wheelbarrow, afraid that these wolves and tigers would throw tempers at them.

Shen Heigou really had no place to spread evil fire in his heart. He understood that 40% of the disappearing materials were called "floating". At that time, the disappearing materials would definitely turn into silver and then return to his pocket according to the proportion.

There is a proportion of how much the commander takes and how much the whistleman takes. Even Shen Heigou's soldiers can get some meat to eat. These are all unspoken rules.

But today it won’t work. Chen Heigou knew that Hunchun’s territory was opposite the wooden bridge. God knew if there would be war? Will it be a corruption at this time that he would take his own life?

Papa... Three more whips "Get out! Get back and explain to the undesired Liu. When is it now? I want to fight arms, so I don't have fun and make up for me!"
