The General's Mansion in Qiqihar City has completely changed hands at this moment. The traces of Tepxin have been wiped clean, and even the furniture has been completely renewed. If it were not for time, those fence-branded men who wanted to hold thick legs would want to repaint the room, change the window frames, and remove the house and rebuild it.

Hunchun is about to enter the city. The order sent from Aihui has been reporting the position of the general guards. Deputy General Lin controls Qiqihar City, and has been rebelling during this period.

From the local old official, you can find out who is more important to Tepuxin's subordinates, who is not successful, who has the ability, and who is flattering, and then start to arrange personnel work in advance for Hunchun.

Those unsuccessful officials can encounter such an opportunity in their lives, even if their ancestors accumulate virtue and burn incense in their previous life, how can they not be careful? In order to welcome the arrival of Hunchun, they wished they could supplement their own family assets.

The post road outside the city was covered with loess three times, and the pads were flat and thick. All the soldiers guarding the city had a brand new look, and the flags flying above the city were all brand new.

All the garbage sanitary dead corners in the city were cleaned up, and all the people mobilized the whole city to welcome the generals of Hunchun, the two provinces. At this moment, Hunchun's official position is already at the highest level of military generals, and people can respectfully call him the Great Commander.

On the northern post road, three thousand strong cavalry were slowly heading south. These cavalry were all private soldiers collected from Hunchun from his subordinates. They were the most powerful troops.

According to common sense, if you borrow private soldiers temporarily, you have to return them to those generals after using them. After all, they are all slaves from other families, or even brothers and relatives.

But Hunchun doesn't care about so many. Once such a strong army is concentrated in his hands, he will never be able to send it. Moreover, his reason is very powerful. "I have to train your Majesty. These private troops will follow the emperor in the future. Do you still dare to bargain with the emperor?"

As soon as Emperor Tongzhi raised the banner, all the generals were silent. Who can't say that they are not ready to be loyal? So they can only watch Hunchun with distress and take away their last direct line.

Hunchun really can invest in capital. All the private soldiers were reorganized, and then a big dress change came. First, three months of military pay was a meeting gift, followed by a tall Don hippo, Bodan rifle, Russian sabre and Fuso samurai sword.

If such a gift is given, the entire private army is cheering. If you don’t mention anything else, just take the Don hippo as an example. In ancient times, war horses were very precious. If anyone owned a war horse, it would be like a BMW or Ferrari in later families, it would not be something that ordinary people could have.

Someone asked where so many hippos came from in Hunchun? In fact, it was very simple. After the Amur River Battle ended, Hunchun private soldiers who had already gathered at the Songhua River estuary immediately crossed the river to intercept the defeated soldiers.

Who wouldn't be able to fight the dogs when they were fighting with the wind? The fierce Ningguta private soldiers started to fight eastward from the north of the Heilongjiang River, and formed a long sweeping team to specifically deal with the fleeing defeated soldiers.

Along the way, they had a fortune. War horses, rifles, sabers, individual soldiers, and captives, the hungry and cold Cossacks had long lost their combat power. Some of them were so weak that they could not even draw out the sabers, which made Hunchun pick up a big advantage.

After a simple reorganization of Aihui City, Hunchun escorted Tepuxin to Qiqihar. The administrative center of Hunchun will be placed here in the future. He will personally accept the city.

Along the way, Hunchun's army was really strong and powerful, and all the soldiers and civilians along the way were worshipped. What was most exciting was that Hunchun brought out 600 Cossack prisoners and walked south with his power.

This is better than any notice of peace. When the people outside the pass saw these Tsarist Russian prisoners, they were immediately indignant and angry. If the soldiers had not stopped them, the rocks would have killed them.

The man from the Pass said in one sentence, admire the strong and the good men. We don’t know whether Hunchun is rebellious or not. A general who can defeat the Rakshasa ghost is a good general.

In a short while, the people's hearts of Hunchun ended, and the government orders were clear and there was no hindrance.

Tepxin, locked in the prison car, looked at everything in front of him dejectedly. He knew that he would lose and would be an official in this land all his life. He knew the morale and public opinion of the place very well.

It’s bitter and cold outside the pass, and everyone is used to it. No one expects a few officials to change the world. The people don’t have that extravagant hope. After hundreds of years, the people have already had their own survival development. They have lived well in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and are all alive.

The most important thing to be an official in this land is not civil affairs, but military affairs. Whoever can shock the bandits and ensure public order, whoever can fight against the Rakshasa ghosts and stubbornly relieve the hatred of the people, whoever is a good official will win the hearts of the people.

Now it seems that Hunchun has done it, and both of them have been done, so the people naturally submit to it. Even the army led by Tepxin has begun to accept Hunchun's government orders.

"Come here! I want to see Hunchun," shouted Tipxin on the carriage.

"Shut up!" With a snap, the horse whip whipped on the wooden railing. "Can you call the general's name? What do you want to do with traitors?" A private soldier cursed angrily.

Tepxin had the will to die at this moment and sneered, "I am a traitor? You are not qualified to meet a real traitor! When I called Hunchun's name, you were not yet soldiered to eat food!"

"Tell Hunchun that I have what he wants!"

The cavalry looked up and down, feeling that he was not frightening people, "Wait!" After saying that, he urged the hippo to stop under his crotch and ran out in a flash.

After a while, Hunchun rushed from the front of the team. He looked at Tepxin and said, "What do you want to say? Say it."

Tepxin smiled, "I want to say too much, open the prison car for me first! I am a dying person, are you still afraid that I will run away?"

The soldiers around were about to scold him, but Hunchun raised his hand to stop them, sneering, "Let him out, I'll see what he has to say!"

Tepxin in the cage jumped to the ground and stretched her waist hard. He saw a big stone next to the post road and pointed his hand, "It's almost noon, how about you and I have a drink here? Let the team take a break."

There is a gentle slope outside the big stone. The terrain is extremely high and there are continuous hills. The wind blows through the evergreen pine forest and makes a rustling sound. There are groups of wild deer on the other side of the stream in the distance, and goats are eating grass. Are you still looking at these humans with vigilance?

"It's so beautiful! It's a pity that I can't see it a few times. Has the imperial decree been delivered? What crime did I convict? Or was it beheaded or lingchi?"

Hunchun was about to speak and Tepxin stopped him, "I'm not long, let me say a few more words! I'll make a deal with you, how about I'm going to die? If you can save a few of my family members, you can save a few of them."
