What the soldiers brought up was a small caravan of twelve people. In this season when the winter snow had not yet melted, it was always difficult to encounter a caravan on the grasslands, let alone a caravan from Tsarist Russia.
"Where is General Fadeev? We want to see the army commander. We have important information to send!" The bearded man was unwilling to be controlled by the surrounding soldiers and struggled to move forward.
"If you let him in, if you are from the same country, will it harm me?" Fadeyev scolded.
The bearded man rushed to the legion commander, looked at him and said, "Can I see your appointment certificate? I have to prove your identity before I can tell you the latest information! Although I don't think you can fake it, the due procedures must be Have to walk again”
"Bold" the guards opened their mouths to curse, but Fadeyev raised his hand to stop them. He looked at the bold businessman calmly and said calmly, "Okay! I can even show you my Tsar. A medal bestowed by His Majesty himself.”
The appointment letter from Moscow proved the identity of the commander of Fadeev's army. The bearded businessman saw it clearly and quickly stepped back with a military salute and said, "I'm very sorry, sir. I am the military attache of the Russian Minister in Beijing. I brought him I have received the latest order from Minister Ulan Geli!"
After saying that, the bearded man took off his shoes. Inside the thick leather boot soles, he used a dagger to open a piece of leather to reveal a hidden groove inside, and took out a wax-sealed paper roll from it.
"In order to find you, the Minister secretly sent four teams to wait at the place where you must pass. Unexpectedly, I was the luckiest one."
Fadeyev had no time to chat with him, so he crushed the wax seal and opened the paper. After reading it, Fadeyev looked up to the sky and smiled, "Hahaha, God really loves us. I didn't expect that the biggest difficulty would be solved by Beijing!" "
Fadeev laughed so hard that tears came out. He passed the note to the division commanders and staff around him. After reading it, everyone was stunned and couldn't believe their eyes.
"Why? God, could this be false information? The city of Beijing actually opened the Heilongjiang border and allowed our army to use the passage to sneak attack on the home base of the Volunteer Army?"
"Why are they doing this?" Gogol looked at the bearded military attache and asked, "I now doubt the authenticity of this intelligence. You must prove your identity to us!"
The bearded military attache said angrily, "The minister's personal letter can't explain the problem? We have traveled more than a thousand kilometers in ten days to find you, can we still be liars?"
"If you don't believe it, you can send people across Heilongjiang to contact officials from the Qing Dynasty. I think they should have received the latest telegram orders by now!"
"Don't think this information is weird. In fact, you will know it after working in the Qing Dynasty for a while. This country is very weird. The officials in the court are a group of bureaucrats who only know their own interests and ignore the national interests."
"They are good at fighting internally and outside fighting outside. They are extremely cruel in fighting for power internally, but they are a bunch of cowards outside! They let go of the Heilongjiang border defense because they are afraid that the volunteer army will grow bigger. In their minds, our threat level is actually far lower than Those rebel traitors!"
"The most important thing is that now the young emperor of the Qing Dynasty has clearly expressed his support for the actions of the volunteers, and the queen mother and regent of the two palaces have come to oppose the young emperor. Of course, their main opponent is Xiao Letian who is beside the young emperor!"
"The Volunteer Army is a force created by Xiao Letian. Killing the Volunteer Army is equivalent to killing one of Xiao Letian's hands. Now do you think this information is still bizarre?"
Fadeyev smiled, "Very good. You can describe the intricate relationships in Beijing in such detail, which shows that you are not a fake. You can go down. You can share a share of the gold and silver seized from the Eagle Tribe as your trip." Reward for hard work!”
After the messenger left, Fadeev quickly opened the map, looked at it carefully, and quickly made a decision, "Gogol, Furmanov, follow the order!"
"Yes! General!" The two stood at attention and saluted.
"The two of you led your 20,000 cavalry regiment, brought enough supplies, one person and two horses, and headed to the Songhua River Estuary day and night. When passing through Burdo, you contacted the Qing defenders on the other side of the river in Aihun and asked them to let go of the Songhua River Estuary's defenses."
"Twenty thousand cavalry went south along the Songhua River. The horses should still be able to move on the ice now. If that doesn't work, just walk along the river bank and go all the way south to Sanxing City."
"When you get there, you will be able to see the post road of the Qing Dynasty. Follow the post road straight to Ningguta City, and then take a detour along the Suifen River downstream. The Suifen River's mouth is in the Amur Bay. By then you should You know how the war is fought!”
Gogol and Furmanov excitedly geared up and took orders to assemble the troops. An hour later, an army of 20,000 people, carrying all the dried meat and fodder of the entire army, quickly set off towards the east with one man and two horses.
Fadeev looked at the remaining officers and shook his head with a smile, "Okay, we only have three days' worth of food left in our hands. Why are you still watching? Why don't you go out and grab it?"
"The Third Division is in charge of the south. The Fourth Division is in charge of the north. The Fifth Division is in charge of extending to the west. Let's move! Let's gather at the mouth of the Aihun Heilongjiang River! Quick, quick, move. I'm afraid there are already many tribes on the grassland running for their lives. Play I’m afraid we won’t get a single lamb!”
The remaining 30,000 troops scattered like hungry wolves and attacked, and the three directions of north, south and east suddenly became a hell on earth. Stretching downstream along the Shilka River, all tribes that had not had time to escape were plundered.
It only took seven days for the forward 1st and 2nd Divisions to enter the Heilongjiang Basin along the Shilka River and march eastward to the mouth of the Songhua River. However, Gogol's envoy broke away from the group on the other side of Aihun and crossed the river directly. Go to Heilongjiang General Tepuqin.
Gogol sent a China expert. This businessman who had been operating in Heilongjiang for many years was very familiar with the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty. He knew that it was not enough to rely on the court's will to suppress such corrupt officials. Benefit.
Five thousand taels of gold were placed heavily on the tray, which was placed on the entire table. The golden light was enough to shake Tepuxin's inner values.
He also knew that the imperial court was acting in disorder, letting go of border defenses and allowing Rakshasa ghosts to enter the country and massacre their own people. This was something that no one with any sense of humanity would be able to accept.
But this man's heart really couldn't withstand the light of gold. Topxin said quietly, "Let you in? I'm afraid it will harm our people? Do you know what the people call you? Rakshasa ghosts!"
The businessman smiled with a smile on his face, "I know, dear general, your noble character of loving the people like your own children deserves our admiration! You can rest assured that this time we are definitely just borrowing a way and will never do any harm to the people of the Qing Dynasty."
"To be honest, what we want to fight is also the rebellious group of Chinese people. They are also the enemies of the Qing Dynasty! Has the general forgotten his identity as a Manchu?" After saying this, the businessman touched the gold bar with his hand, as if It's the same as touching a beautiful woman's skin.
Tepuqin's throat was a little dry, and he couldn't help but said, "It's just a passing opportunity!"
"Don't worry, General. I promise you're just taking advantage of the road. We won't harm even a single chicken in the common people's homes."
