Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 351 The Power of the Victor
Tsarist Russia sent people over to negotiate the surrender, but no matter whether it was Mishilan or Monk Zhou, the two of them could neither speak Russian nor Mongolian.

Besides, the master is not here.

Monk Zhou, who was sweating profusely while running, took off his helmet and scratched his itchy scalp stung by sweat. At this moment, he saw the Rakshasa officer on the opposite side stunned for a moment, so he asked dissatisfiedly: "Why? What are you looking at?"

Of course, the next sentence that triggers the fight will not appear in this time and space.
The Tsarist Russian officer couldn't understand Chinese, so he looked at Monk Zhou's shiny bald head in a daze, thinking that this man might have lost his hair.Since other Beihai soldiers around were wearing steel helmets, the Tsarist Russian officer didn't think much about it.

"I am under the order of Baron Ilya Andreevich Rostov, the acting head of the lieutenant colonel, to negotiate with your army about surrender. During this period, I hope that your army will not launch any more offensive actions."

Hearing the other party say a lot in Russian, blabla, Monk Zhou was a little bit broken.He stared wide-eyed and asked, "What the hell are you talking about?"

The two Russian officers saw that Monk Zhou looked confused, so they repeated it again in Mongolian. This next week, Monk Zhou will be even more confused!He could only ask Zhao Xin for help.

On the other side, Michelang, the battalion commander at the Karen Mountain position, was also at a loss.Although this former farmer from the island nation of Mutsu can speak Mandarin quite fluently now, how can he know Russian!His soldiers were either Henan soldiers or naturalized Mutsu farmers.

However, Aleksandrov had long been prepared, and the two officers he sent included Lieutenant Aisin from the staff department.This Buryat man actually escaped the artillery fire of the North Navy and was not killed; and because this guy had been engaged in intelligence spying on the Qing Dynasty before and could speak Manchu and Mongolian, he was sent here.

Ai Xin saw that the other party could not understand Russian, so he explained his purpose in Manchu.Mishilang learned a few words of Manchu for the convenience of communicating with the Hezhe hunters led by Sahalian these days.He heard words he was familiar with in Essin's words, so he hurriedly asked Saharian to come over.

When Saharan came over for a translation, Mishiran finally understood.He asked the two Tsarist Russian officers to wait, returned to the command position, and reported to Zhao Xin by walkie-talkie.

Zhao Xin already knew the situation on Monk Zhou's side at this moment, and now Mi Shilang sent another message, he knew that the Russian army could not continue to fight.The problem is that I have only a few hundred people under my command. If I really want to take thousands of Russian prisoners, if Tsarist Russia sees a flaw, it will be a big trouble.Don't forget, there is still a group of Qing troops in Heilongjiang City behind you!

"These bastards are really good at timing! It's getting dark now, surrender? Why did you go so early!"

After thinking and thinking, he gave orders to the troops in three directions.

First of all, Monk Zhou. He first ordered Monk Zhou and the others to build fortifications on the spot and monitor the actions of the Russian army;

Then there is Karen Mountain.He asked Michelang to inform the Russian army envoys that they would talk about it after dawn.However, since they wanted to surrender, they had to put down all their weapons and pile them up at designated places, and everyone withdrew to the east bank of the river, otherwise they would be hit by more intense artillery fire.

Half an hour later, when the commander of the Russian army, Major General Alexandrov, listened to Aisin's reply, he showed a look of disapproval.The reason why he chose to surrender at this time was to delay the time and organize troops to break through at night.

Unexpectedly, he was only proud for a few minutes, and the artillery fire of the Beihai Navy began again.Facing the overwhelming berserk attack, Aleksandrov, who was terrified, never imagined that the cannons of the "Qing Army" could fire so accurately in the dark.

While Colonel Bogaevsky, who was avoiding the artillery fire, although his ears were buzzing due to the explosion, he seemed to hear the familiar buzzing above his head.
After 15 minutes of shelling, the ground where the Russian army assembled was covered with broken limbs, and there were cries of crying and shouting one after another.The light and shadow shrouded in the night kept shaking and trembling, and immediately after the shelling, there were streams of red streamers, rushing towards the fleeing Cossacks from the mountainside in the north and the edge of the forest in the southwest.

"Your Excellency, Commander, if the Qing people continue to fight like this, we will never see the sun of tomorrow!"

Listening to the dense and orderly gunfire around him, Major General Aleksandrov was in great pain.He keenly felt that the "Qing" army had seen through his intentions, so he said to Lieutenant Aixin who was standing aside: "Go, go and tell the Qing people that we have surrendered, and tell them not to fight any more!"

After speaking, he covered his face with his hands and slumped on the ground, tears flowing out from the failure and fear.

An hour later, Lieutenant Eshin, who had received Michelon's ultimatum, first led his men to light two bonfires in a designated open space.After a while, the bonfire splashed with whale oil reflected the surrounding hundreds of meters at a glance.

The remaining Cossack soldiers stacked their muskets and sabers next to the bonfire in platoons; ten Northern Navy soldiers who came down from the Karen Mountain defensive battlefield stood aside with sharp bayonets to watch.

At the foot of Mount Karen, the surviving soldiers, ambulancemen, and military priests checked the wounded with torches, and then the casualties reported by the battalions made Major General Aleksandrov complain; The army lost hundreds of people, and the number of seriously wounded and wounded has reached more than 15.

After disarming, the Russian army carried the seriously wounded and walked eastward while supporting each other under the surveillance of the Northern Navy.

Near the river bank in the east, the Cossacks who had already surrendered were resting around the bonfire. They shared a small amount of dry food and leaned together exhausted, worrying about the fate of tomorrow.

Although the Cossacks were anxious after disarming, after all, the "Qing army" in the south never launched an attack again.The explosion and gunshots from the west not long ago made them extremely panicked. The acting head sent someone to contact the other side urgently, and the answer they got was "As long as you stay obediently, you won't open fire!"

Knowing the ultimatum on the other side, the soldiers of the Third Musketeer Regiment felt that the choice of acting head was really correct!

From the second half of the night, Zhao Xin led a squad of guards and kept busy.He first returned to the artillery position in the south and informed the troops here to move north to join Monk Zhou's troops; of course, the purpose of his tossing around in the middle of the night was to take away the three artillery pieces.

Afterwards, he went to the Karen Mountain position again, where Michelang's troops and Chen Jishan's guard company joined together after the remnants of the Russian army moved eastward.Nothing else, some encouragement and awards, and then replenishment of supplies and ammunition.

Or if it is tiring to move the warehouse, Zhao Xin will be tossing the whole thing alone!

Monk Zhou was not idle here either. He was ordered to clear a piece of hard and flat land 200 meters behind the position.When it was getting dark, the soldiers of the third company suddenly found two familiar double-barreled rapid-fire guns behind them.

The accompanying signal soldiers set up the antenna at [-] o'clock in the morning and began to contact the Wu Siyu fleet behind.Only then did Zhao Xin know that the second batch of fleets had just passed Kubutlin at this time, and because the wooden boats were traveling slowly upstream, it would take two days at the fastest to arrive.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, the Russian army, which had been terrified all night, received a notification from the Beihai Navy, ordering them to send personnel to clean up the wreckage after the fire in the old city of Aihui.

Yes, Zhao Xin decided to use it as the place to accept the official surrender of the Russian army, because diagonally opposite the old city of Aigun is the Jiangdong 64 village in another time and space.

At 6:[-] in the morning, a cavalry squad of more than a dozen people arrived in the southwest of the old city of Aihui, and the Qing army also came.However, this cavalry squad did not approach, but hid in the woods and observed from a distance.

Due to the fierce fighting in the north yesterday afternoon, the cavalry sentry of the Qing army quickly discovered the artillery position of the Beihai Navy; but when they tried to approach, they were discovered by the Beihai Navy defending nearby. The team fled in despair.

When it was dark, Eredombu, the deputy commander of Heilongjiang City, saw the flickering artillery fire in the north and heard the roaring cannon and gunfire. He finally understood that this was not the reinforcement of the righteous people at all.

He had read the mansion newspaper transcribed and printed by the Heilongjiang General's Mansion stationed in Titang, Beijing, and now he was finally convinced that it was the rebel bandits entrenched far away in Shuangchengzi who were beating Luo Sha hard.

They actually came towards Heilongjiang City, these guys are the imperial court's confidantes!

Send someone to communicate with each other?How could a dignified senior official of the second rank join forces with the rebels?Even sending someone to contact will not work!

Eredmubu still knows the truth that "the Han and the thieves are not at odds, and the king's industry is not partial to peace".

The problem is that the former Marshal Fu led tens of thousands of people and couldn't beat him. How old is he?Just relying on the more than 1000 remnants under his command?
Forget it or!After thinking about it all night, Eredmubu decided to send a sentry to monitor the movement of the Northern Navy. He planned to retreat to Morgan with his soldiers and horses first, and then make plans when Hulunbuir's reinforcements arrived.

As for the people in the city?He can't care anymore.

At 9:10 in the morning, after hours of busy work, the tired and hungry Cossacks finally cleaned up the ruins in the old city of Aihui.After they left the city, Zhao Xin went in with the guards and two platoons of soldiers.Three or ten minutes later, a pavilion-style tent with air leakage from all sides stood in the very center of Cross Street.

It was exactly ten o'clock when the two platoons of Northern Navy soldiers finished deploying their defenses.

At this time, the commander of the Russian army, Alexandrov, followed the ultimatum of the Northern Navy last night, and led several regiment commanders and staff officers under him. After a body search at the east gate post, he came to the awning.

"Dear Your Excellency, Officer of the Qing Empire, according to your request, His Excellency Aleksandrov, the Earl of the Empire and Commander of our troops, has arrived!"

Zhao Xin didn't even lift his eyelids, and said in the half-baked Russian he learned from arms dealers: "Hehe, request? No, this is an order! As failed invaders, let go of your ostentatious vanity! This is The power of the victor!"

The Tsarist Russian officer standing at attention opposite was shocked when he heard that the "Commander of the Qing Dynasty" actually spoke Russian!Not to mention him, Alexandrov and others who were walking towards the awning also showed shock on their faces.

"Your Excellency is right, the victor has this right. Let's get to know each other, I am Aleksandrov." Aleksandrov, wearing a three-cornered hat, stepped forward and said bitterly; Immediately, he put his feet together and stood at attention, bowing slightly to Zhao Xin.Then he began to look at the "Commander of the Qing Dynasty" sitting across from him.

Well, his eyes are firm, his body is tall and thin, and his short hair, which is about an inch long, looks very capable. Wait a minute!

Aleksandrov suddenly realized that Zhao Xin had short hair and did not have the braids of the Qing people.He was stunned for a moment, thinking that I have braids, but you, an officer of the Qing Empire, don't have braids? !
"Could it be that the customs of the Qing people have changed again?" Aleksandrov thought he had made a major discovery, and perhaps this discovery would change the dressing customs of men throughout Europe.

Yes, from 1670 to 1790, for about 120 years, the entire European army, including the upper class, wore a braid behind their heads, whether it was real hair or wigs.Although the hairstyles are very different, and there is no habit of shaving the sideburns and forehead, they are learning from the people of the Qing Dynasty!

(Are you surprised or surprised? Don’t scold that braid all day long. It has led the entire European hairstyle for more than 100 years.)
From the ninth year of Kangxi, when Europeans and missionaries who came to China to do business found that the old empire had returned to a peaceful and harmonious life, they noticed that Chinese men seemed to change their hairstyles overnight, dragging their heads behind their heads. a braid.

This is so amazing!

So when King Louis XIII of France learned about it, he immediately began to learn that all wigs must have braids.As the most advanced civilized country in Europe, France must be in line with the most advanced and powerful Eastern civilization, there is no doubt about it!

It is precisely because of this that the custom of braiding quickly spread from the French court to the upper classes of European countries, and then became popular among the army.

But for many ordinary soldiers, a silver-white wig with braids is an expensive luxury, which is the privilege of the upper class nobles; but ordinary soldiers also have natural advantages, and syphilis, a disease that spreads in the upper class, is not available They have to, so there is no baldness.So the soldiers imitated the officers and nobles and braided their braids longer than theirs.

For the entire 120 years, all European countries have been all braided troops, the kind that don't need quotation marks at all.Later, after it became popular in Eastern Europe, those ethnic groups who like to keep sideburns even braided both sideburns into three strands.

It was not until the demise of wigs and changes in the way of war in the [-]th century that the European braided army withdrew from the stage of history and would only remain in some oil paintings.

Zhao Xin saw a group of Tsarist Russian officers staring at his head in a daze. After thinking for a while, he realized that it was his lack of braids that caused the speculation.He was still sitting on the chair, looked up into Aleksandrov's eyes, and said word by word: "Let's get to know each other. My surname is Zhao, and I am now the commander-in-chief of the Northern Navy. You can call me Your Highness."

As soon as these words came out, all the Tsarist Russian officers present were dumbfounded.

　The reason why Europeans began to wear wigs in the 17th century was because of the prevalence of syphilis, which caused many men to be "Mediterranean" bald.
