Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 357 Depressed Northbound Fleet

Suvorov didn't know at this time what kind of disaster his decision would bring to the Tsarist Russian army.

It is said that the hunters in the Tsarist Russian Army first appeared in the 60s of the eighteenth century.During the Seven Years' War, Rumyantsev, who served as Field Marshal of Tsarist Russia, followed the example of France and Austria, and selected agility and accurate shooting squad members from among the voluntary hunters to form two light infantry battalions, calling them hunters.

When the hunters are deployed in combat, they are deployed in individual formations and put into combat, which has achieved remarkable results.This combat style and experience are thus valued.After that, the Jaeger squad, the Jaeger battalion, and the Jaeger army appeared one after another in the Russian army, making tactics more flexible.

The Russian hunters are agile, good at concealing themselves, can travel long distances without being noticed, and can maneuver flexibly and quickly. In 1770 the Chasseurs were split off from the regiments of the line and formed into separate battalions of Chasseurs, which were no longer select marksmen as they soon became overwhelmed with a large number of ordinary recruits.

Since 1785, there have been a total of six jaeger armies in the Tsarist Russian army, each of which has four jaeger battalions (each battalion has 957 people), and there are also three independent jaeger battalions.

However, the Russian Jaegers were still equipped with muskets instead of muskets at this time; historically until 1800, only half of the Jaegers and all sergeants in each platoon were equipped with muskets, and the other half of the platoon was still equipped with muskets.

Based on all the advanced infantry combat theories in Europe in this era, even Rumyantsev would do the same when he came.So until now, except for those Tsarist Russian prisoners, no one understands what kind of "monster" the Beihai Navy is.

In Suvorov's plan, in addition to mobilizing two jaeger corps and five Cossack cavalry battalions, he also ordered the construction of a huge and strong bastion defense system on the original site of Yaksa City to serve as the "Qing people" fleet When it arrived, the Russian army could wipe it out in a leisurely manner.

Zhao Xin knew nothing about all this, and he was still waiting for the arrival of Liu Sheng and Fan Tong.

Now the residents of Heilongjiang City have become accustomed to the wake-up call and light-off call from the direction of the Navy Camp every day, and they simply regard the sound of the call as the time teller in their lives.

After the Beihai Navy conducted queue and tactical training on the opened training ground, it attracted a large number of old people, children and wounded soldiers of the Qing army to watch the excitement every day.However, in the afternoon, the sound of reading books came from the barracks of the Beihai Navy, which shocked the wounded soldiers of the Qing army.

"My lord, those short-haired soldiers can still study? I want to go too. Do you think they will agree, my lord?" Liu Si, a 19-year-old wounded soldier from the Qing army with a bandage on his arm.This kid has been extremely active since the public trial meeting, and he will go to the Beihai Navy's station sooner or later whenever he has something to do.

Another Qing army wounded echoed: "That's right. Master Li, what do you think those short-haired soldiers eat all day long? They get up in the morning with the trumpet as soon as the rooster crows, run or punch, jump up and down all morning. of."

Li Yansheng, the co-leader, scoffed at this, and cursed: "A bunch of idiots! Especially you Liu Si, the idiot among idiots! Studying? Is there smoke rising from your ancestral grave or a fairy dreaming of your family? Forget it!" , paper, ink, pen and inkstone plus books, the money in your hand is not enough to make it!"

Li Yansheng entered the official school because his family was rich; his father, who was the leader of the association, hoped that the Li family could produce a candidate to escape the fate of killing men.However, Li Yansheng is not such a material at all. He was 17 years old in the government school, and his books and reading are not very good, but he is very good at bow and horse.So old Li Xie-ling could only make his son a vacant adult, and became a personal soldier Goshha for the deputy capital commander at the time; after that, relying on his father's family tradition of making guns and a lot of money to open the way, he became a gunner in more than ten years. Co-leader of the battalion.

In fact, ever since Li Yansheng killed a Raksha with a pistol that day, he asked the Beihai soldiers beside him how much salary he would get if he joined for a month, but the soldiers ignored him, which made Li Xieling feel that It's too embarrassing.

After all, I'm the third rank's artillery battalion co-leader!

Several people were chatting in the room, when the door slammed, two young men in white coats opened the door and walked in. All the wounded soldiers knew that it was time to change their dressings.

A white coat untied the gauze on Li Yansheng's head, checked the wound and said, "The recovery is good, and the stitches can be removed in two days."

After checking all the people in the room and changing the medicine and gauze, the two North Navy medical soldiers, with the thanks of the whole room, turned and went to the next door under the respectful eyes of the wounded.

At this time, Liu Si moved to Li Yansheng's side and said, "My lord, where should we go when you recover from the injury?"

Li Yansheng probably had an enmity with Liu Si in his previous life, and every time he saw the other's cheap expression, he wanted to scold him, but Liu Si always talked to him when he was free.

But this time Li Yansheng didn't scold Liu Si, but thought that although he was a military general of the court, he had to uphold his loyalty, but he also had to show his conscience, so he went to the doctors of the Beihai Navy to heal him. You have to help out with everything.

In fact, Beihai won the hearts of the people the most in Heilongjiang City, neither the public trial conference nor the Beihai Trading Company, but the medical rescue team.

During this operation in Heilongjiang City, the medical team used Hong Tao's self-made "Allicin" on a large scale for the first time as the main means of anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, and only used "Penicillin" from another time and space for those seriously infected. , the effect is surprisingly good.It's just that the wounded soldier's dormitory is filled with the smell of garlic all day long, and those who are newcomers can smell it.

Relying on the clinical medical knowledge from another time and space that he learned from Hong Tao and Liu Siting, Wu Xianning actually won the title of "Hua Tuo's rebirth" after completing the emergency treatment of all the lightly and seriously wounded in the Qing army.The bloody treatment method of thoracotomy and laparotomy scared the monks of the Great Buddha Temple.

Although the soldiers of the Eight Banners or their family members were still worried that the North Navy would trouble them, they were extremely respectful to the North Navy who was wearing a white coat or carrying a red five-star medicine box on a white background.In addition to taking care of the wounded soldiers, these people would also come to see a doctor and distribute medicine to the residents in the city.

For these frontier families in the desolate land outside the Great Wall, the men who serve as soldiers are the pillars of the family. The sky at home is also on the couch.

Zhao Xin planned to vaccinate the residents of Heilongjiang city against smallpox after a while.

In another time and space, because smallpox has been completely eradicated, there is no vaccinia vaccine available on the market, and only some countries produce a small amount for storage.

Fortunately, the laboratory preparation process of smallpox vaccine is open, so Hong Tao started the development of vaccinia vaccine last year.At present, more than half of the people in Beihai Town have completed the vaccinia vaccination.

The little oolong Ta Ama has been treated by the medical team, and his injury has gradually improved.After the man who had been shot in the stomach woke up and learned from his wife how he had survived the catastrophe, he forced himself out of bed and kowtowed Wu Xianning three times.Wu Xianning said flatly, if you want to thank for this, then thank King Zhao.

So after learning that Oolong had promised to be Zhao Xin's personal soldier, Oolong's mother-in-law came to Zhao Xin with her children.In the face of persistent pleas from one big and one small, and even knelt down without agreeing, Zhao Xin could only agree.

"Oolong, if you want to be an orderly for me, there is a condition."

"My lord, I want to be a soldier, what is an orderly soldier?"

"It's almost the same. Let me talk about the conditions first."

"Your Excellency, I will listen to you."

Zhao Xin asked someone to call Guisheng from the guard company, and when he arrived, he said to Wulong: "You follow Platoon Leader Shen first, what he says is what I say."

Oolong nodded, indicating that there was no problem.When he followed Shen Gui to give birth to Zhao Xin's tent, Wu Long asked curiously: "Master Shen, what should I do?"

Guisheng smiled and tugged at the fluffy ears on the "roe deer's head" and said, "Read."

"what?"

In another time and space, Heilongjiang City is Heihe.In addition to having the largest copper mine in Northeast China, there is also an iron mine.The local agricultural development mainly relies on animal husbandry and fishery, and the main crops are corn, soybean, wheat and various potatoes.Now that everyone has made plans, Zhao Xin is ready to move here as it is.

Two days later, Zhao Xin and Wu Siyu took a few local Daur people around the neighborhood.They first took a wooden boat to Hailanpao across the river north of the old city of Aigun.

Hailanpao is a transliteration of Manchu, meaning "elm house".At the end of the [-]th century, Hailanpao was still a small mountain village with only a dozen households. After the Northern Navy defeated the invaders, those villagers who had fled to Heilongjiang City moved back one after another. After all, the crops in the field needed careful attention.

A group of people took a brief look inside and outside the village, and then Zhao Xin and Wu Siyu looked at the surging river without speaking for a long time, feeling a lot of emotion.

In another time and space, on July 1900, 7, a postman from Aihui’s vice-dutong yamen made the following record: “Looking at the other side, Russia drove countless overseas Chinese to encircle the riverside, and the noise shook the field. A closer look The Russian soldiers each armed with knives and axes, slashed eastward and westward, smashing corpses and bones, and the sound shook their noses. The seriously injured died on the bank, the lightly injured died in the river, and the uninjured were thrown into the water and drowned. foreign."

After a while, Wu Siyu asked calmly: "How many people were killed at that time?"

"More than 5000. One day."

Wu Siyu asked endlessly, and what Zhao Xin said was also endless.This not only confused the accompanying Chen Jishan and Yin Weibing, but even the few Daur people who could understand Chinese were also confused. When did 5000 people die here?
Wu Siyu then asked again: "Where is Jiangdong 64 Village?"

Zhao Xin pointed to the southeast of the confluence of Heilongjiang and Jieya Rivers and said, "Since it is Jiangdong, it is naturally there."

"And how much?"

"I forgot the exact number, but it seems to be in the thousands. I remember a book that said that the floating corpses covered the river for several days, so that after more than ten days, countless corpses drowned at the bottom of the river surfaced and flowed down the river. Down below, there is a layer of corpse oil floating on the entire river surface, and the river water is strangely fishy."

Wu Siyu let out a long breath, and his tone became hard and cold: "I was a little bit reluctant when I shot those guys a few days ago. Now that I think about it, I am too kind of a woman!"

After the two of them returned to the camp for a rest, Zhao Xin drew a large circle on the map of Heilongjiang City, Aihui Old City and Hailanpao on the opposite bank, and said to Wu Siyu, "This will be the biggest place we have in the middle reaches of Heilong." Town, after building here, the entire Heilongjiang General's Mansion will be ours."

Wu Siyu praised: "Before I came here, I heard from the old squad leader that there is still a coal mine here, and a thermal power plant and a shipyard can be built in the future."

"Do you want to come over and be the mayor for fun?"

Seeing Zhao Xin's "bad intentions" smirk, Wu Siyu trembled in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Forget it, it's more suitable for me to stay in the army."

On the other side, Liu Sheng's fleet had just arrived in Rahasusu at this time.The reason why they were so slow was that something happened when passing through Sanxing City, which delayed them for several days.

Erboke, the deputy governor of the three surnames, also panicked after learning the news of the fall of Ninggu Tower.There are only more than 500 soldiers left under him, and the other 800 people have been transferred to fill the bottomless pit of Ninggu Pagoda.But when he learned that Ningguta's North Navy had no ships, he felt a little relieved.

Unexpectedly, after a few days, suddenly four strange boats and several flat-bottomed wooden boats passed the river outside the city at high speed, and headed straight for Ningguta. This frightened Erboke. It is said that there are several inland river clippers with strange shapes in Beihai Town.So he quickly summoned the people in the city, starting from the key pass two hundred miles south of Sanxing City, every five miles, he made wooden rafts with thick tree trunks across the middle of the river, and hooked them with iron anchors at both ends. At the bottom of the river, iron chains were used to tie the two sides of the river to guard against the fleet of the Northern Navy.As a result, when the huge fleet of the Beihai Navy headed north, it was delayed by these wooden rafts blocked on the river.

There are only machine guns but no cannons on the patrol boat. How many bullets would be wasted if only relying on machine guns?And if it is bombarded, what if the broken sawdust gets sucked into the motor?Therefore, the Beihai Navy could only send people to disembark and board the raft, saw off the iron chain, remove the anchor, and row the raft to the shore.

The problem is that there are more than 200 miles of waterways every five miles. Erboke led troops to drive away the residents of the whole city and the people from the surrounding Guanzhuang. It was demolished one after another, and after five miles there was another one.
Liu Sheng and Fan Tong were so depressed to death by this hand, but they had no choice but to walk away while tearing it apart.When their fleet finally arrived at the river outside Sanxing City, Liu Sheng was about to go crazy. He simply sent troops ashore to attack Sanxing City, intending to teach the Qing army a severe lesson.

As the transportation hub connecting Songhua River, Huerha River and Heilongjiang, Sanxing City has a very critical location.What the Qing court built here was a fortified city with a circumference of eight miles. The moat was seven feet deep and eight feet wide, and the city wall was eight feet high.When Bei Haijun arrived, he found that the suspension bridges outside the four gates of Sanxing City had all been demolished. It seemed that the Qing soldiers were preparing to fight to the death.

Facing such an earthen city, Liu Sheng didn't even bother to reconnaissance, and directly ordered the artillery to fire.

Unexpectedly, after the bombardment, there was no one on the city wall, and no arrows were shot out; when the city gate was blown open, the sharp knife company rushed into the city with a wooden pontoon bridge, only to find that The entire Sanxing city was empty.

After searching, several soldiers finally found a few old people in the Town God's Temple in the northwest corner of the city. Le Chuka (Harbin) ran away, and the family members of Qiding in the city went to the official village outside the city to take refuge for fear of revenge from the North Navy.

"What a grandson!" Liu Sheng yelled angrily after learning about it, thinking how did these guys become more and more cunning?
