!--Chapter content begins-- Are Yishan and Tepuxin traitors? What was the inside story behind the signing of the Aihun Treaty? This secret account has all the answers.
Ten years ago, when the Tsarist Russian army went upstream along the Heilongjiang River to bombard the city of Aihui, why did Yishan surrender? Why did he sign a treaty that was humiliating and humiliating the country?
Yishan’s answer is actually that the foreigners’ ships are hard-hitting and their artillery is so powerful that they cannot be defeated unless they are slaves who work hard! It sounds reasonable. After all, the imperial court has suffered losses in front of foreigners time and time again, and a fear of foreigners has been formed.
But is this really the case?
Let’s first analyze the weapons and equipment of various countries ten years ago. Before and after ten years, the loading of guns was still in the stage of just leaving the factory. Most of the armies were equipped with front-loading minigun rifles, which had a slow rate of fire and weak combat effectiveness.
The same goes for artillery. Most of them are front-loading smoothbore cannons. The gunpowder used is still old black powder, which fires solid projectiles. Although there are blooming projectiles, they are not mainstream.
The warships at that time were undoubtedly all wooden-hulled warships. The main ones were sails and a small amount of steam engines and paddle wheels were used.
Such an army is undoubtedly backward. Maybe the defenders of Aihui City really cannot defeat them, but does it mean that they cannot defend it if they cannot defeat them?
How destructive can solid artillery be to a solid rammed earth wall? Does the numerical advantage lie with the Manchus? Is there no strategic depth?
Even Weng Tonghe, who has never led a soldier, understands the concept of strategic depth. Don't Yishan and others understand it?
At that time, the purpose of the Czar's expeditionary force was to take advantage of the situation and scare the Manchus. The army did not have much equipment at all! At that time, even if you fight and retreat in Yishan, trade land for time, and use time to consume the enemy's supplies, the Manchus are destined to win in the end.
This truth is actually not difficult to understand. Why did the Rakshasa ghost surrender after firing a few shots? After the surrender, more than one million square kilometers of land was ceded by directly signing a treaty?
If things are abnormal, they are monsters!
In fact, it was not easy for Yi? to defeat the Rakshasa Ghost on the battlefield, but it was no problem to use the home field advantage to win the final victory.
The outside of the pass at that time was completely different from the outside of the pass in later generations. It was a completely undeveloped, primitive and wild land, with hills, high mountains, and dense forests, and there were only a few roads that could pass the troops.
If Yi? is really determined to resist, he can rely on cities, passes, and forests to stop him at all levels. It is okay for a city of Aihui to hold out for three or four months. If it cannot be conquered, it will be withdrawn. The farmland and granaries will be burned, and the walls will be clear and the fields will be starved to death.
What if you dare to chase inland? It's very simple. They mobilize the local garrison and hunters to harass them all the time, cut down huge trees to block the roads, and torture them with fire attacks and night attacks. By the time the Rakshasa ghosts reach Qiqihar City, it will probably be winter, and the cold will freeze them all to death by then. .
Isn’t that how we play at home? Space is exchanged for time, and time consumes the enemy's energy. In the end, the fat one drags him down, and the thin one drags him to death.
It is worth mentioning that Lin Zexu's strategy when he was guarding Guangdong was very correct. He just defended it one word! Strong walls and clear fields! Anyway, there is a vast country of tens of millions of square kilometers behind me. I don’t have to worry about food, drink or soldiers.
Your British warship is floating on the sea, how do you solve the problem of eating and drinking? How to replenish weapon and ammunition consumption? If time goes by and a plague breaks out, you won't be able to retreat?
If Emperor Daoguang could be more tenacious, continue to use Lin Zexu to accommodate his temporary defeat, and don't be afraid of the British fleet's feint attack northward, as long as you are more courageous, you will not lose the First Opium War at all, and it will definitely be a draw in the end.
It's a pity that there is no if in history, and there is no if in Aihui City!
Why did he end up losing a battle that he could obviously win? The problem that had troubled Lao Lin for many years was finally solved. This account and the accountant's confession revealed everything.
It turns out that Yishan Tepuxin and others have been conducting smuggling transactions with Tsarist Russia from beginning to end. The relationship between them is very close, and they are in a state where you are one of us.
Everyone made a fortune together, and gradually formed a community of interests by exchanging what they had, and Yishan Tepuxin was also connected to countless high-level princes, nobles, and even the royal family of the Qing Dynasty.
How can we fight this battle! Yishan Tepuxin's pigtails were already in the hands of the Rakshasa ghost, and Tsarist Russia had controlled the pace of the war from the very beginning.
Lao Lin could even imagine the scene back then. When Yishan Tepuxin and others met the Russian emissary and were blackmailed with these secret accounts, what kind of mentality did the two of them have? Do they have any regrets?
But there is no turning back, they have been kidnapped, and disobedience will only lead to death!
At midnight that night, Lao Lin received news that made him cry bitterly. The accountants finally succumbed to the torture of opium addiction.
A shocking top secret comes to light.
"Sir! It turns out that Tsarist Russia secretly paid 3 million gold rubles to Yishan and Tepuxin! They were all pure gold coins! What a fool, the Far East was sold by these traitors!"
"Ah!" Lao Lin shouted and smashed the teacup in his hand. All the confusion in his heart disappeared, but what if he knew the truth? The truth was so cruel that it was hard to believe.
"That's it! Hahaha...that's it!"
"Before the war, the royal nobles of the capital and the officials in Heilongjiang had already colluded with the Rakshasa ghosts to do smuggling business... After the war broke out, the Rakshasa ghosts used these black materials to threaten Yishan, and how could that weakling resist the threat! "
"Hahaha... Then I slapped him in the face and gave him a sweet date to ask Yishan to sign a treaty, and then Tsarist Russia secretly gave me a high bribe..."
"Hahaha..." Lao Lin laughed with tears streaming down his face. "I understand, I understand everything! Fame is nothing! There is no gold in the temptation of leaving a name in history!"
"Sold the Far East for three million gold rubles! You national thief! God will punish you! Just like the Fuso warrior said, God will punish you!"
"I'll fuck your ancestors for eight generations!"
There are countless sorrows in history. The source of the sorrow is that some people are born to eat people. In their hearts, there is no nation, no country, no justice... some only have outright self-interest.
For your own benefit, why not kill someone? It doesn't matter if you are a traitor to your country, as long as you are not punished, you will be criticized or not.
Lao Lin cried all night in the general's mansion. Early the next morning, all the confessions, witnesses and evidence were sent out of the city, and under the protection of the most elite private soldiers, they headed east.
Upstairs at the city gate, Lieutenant General Lin clenched his fists and looked north! I was secretly arguing in my heart: "General! General! I captured Qiqihar for you, now it's up to you..."
"I was hesitant before, but everything I have experienced this time has proven that the imperial court cannot be trusted, and those palace nobles are even less trustworthy... If the Qing Dynasty wants to revive, it must have an iron-blooded emperor!"
"From now on, I am an imperialist through and through! I want to protect Emperor Tongzhi and become the tyrant of the Qing Dynasty! Burn these monsters with fire! They all have to die..."
Note: As a digression, do you now know why the country wants to investigate naked officials? I can’t imagine that if there is a war in the future, will those second-generation children overseas become hostages threatened by the enemy?
What a terrifying scene! Let’s wish the motherland a strong and peaceful world! I sincerely hope that everything imagined in the novel will not come true!
