Tepuxin is a die-hard die-hard who cannot be influenced at all. To deal with such a person, he can only choose thunderous violence, but for the remaining generals, he must be divided.
Hunchun looked at them and sneered, "You all know my reputation in the past, Ning Guta is a stubborn ass! You guys are laughing at me and scolding me behind my back!"
"Since you know my temper, you should know whether I, Hunchun, am a rebel! Who else in this world besides the emperor can order me to commit a mutiny?"
"Think carefully with your brains that have been soaked by burning knives! How could I, Hunchun, launch this mutiny without His Majesty's order!"
Holding his heart with his right hand, Hunchun asked sadly, "Are you considered a soldier? Ah! You look at yourselves, are you considered a soldier? When Yishan lost so much land, you didn't feel bad? Even if you don't charge the court, you can charge these donations." We, the common people who eat and drink, can’t do such unconscionable things!”
"What place is that in the Far East? That is the land left by our ancestors! The people who live there are all one family with us! You think it is a foreign country, but I think it is our home!"
"Haha... Fortunately, Your Majesty is not a weakling. Fortunately, we in the Qing Dynasty still have a strong-minded Emperor! I told Your Majesty to order me to fight with the Rakshasa ghost, and I made up my mind to be loyal to the Emperor for the rest of my life!"
"I'm determined to be this imperialist! If you want to be a traitorous coward, that's up to you! I still want to go see my ancestors with this face!"
The curse made all the generals present blush and mumble, unable to say anything. Tepuxin wanted to speak but his mouth was blocked by Ma Walnut.
"Hunchun...you...stop making slanderous remarks! It's not that we don't want to fight the Rakshasa ghosts, so what if the court doesn't let us fight us? What else can we soldiers do besides obey the orders of Shangfeng? Sample!"
Hunchun opened his eyes angrily and roared, "No one gave you orders before, but now His Majesty has given you orders! Why don't you accept the order!"
"Damn it, you don't have to carry knives! Allocate troops to blow up the ice at each ferry to prevent Rakshasa ghosts from crossing the river! Don't you dare to take on such a small task? A bunch of eggless things... "
"I..." Everyone suddenly became silent, and then someone yelled grumpily, "You Hunchun said it nicely! It's not like you don't know the current situation in the court! What can we do? If we don't listen to you, you will kill us now. But after hearing your words, there are still people in the court who want to kill us!"
"Everyone is dead on the left and right, what can we do? Tell us what to do!"
"Easy to handle!" Hunchun gritted his teeth and said, "Qiqihar has been conquered by me, and your family members are all in my hands. Just say that I, Hunchun, forced you to do it! If it fails, the imperial court will send troops to investigate and you will blame me. Push on the body!”
"Just say that I, Hunchun, kidnapped all your family members, and you had no choice... I think the court will give you a way out!"
The scene suddenly fell silent, and even the soldiers who were blocking the second door were dumbfounded. In fact, at this stage of the negotiations, 90% of the Heilongjiang generals present believed that the secret order in Hunchun's hand was true.
The reason why they don't admit it is just to analyze the pros and cons in their hearts.
There are always gamblers in the world, and sometimes people will place bets even on bets that are bound to lose. Just like the confrontation between the national football team and Brazil in later generations, there are also many people who bet on the national football team to win in the peripheral betting market.
The more unpopular the game is, the higher the profit will be. Gamblers all know this, let alone these experienced officials.
Burning cold stoves is sometimes like betting on unpopular chips. Although the probability of losing is very high, once you are lucky enough to win a handful, it may be enough to last a lifetime.
If Hunchun had not called out the word "imperial party" before, most of these generals would not have been tempted, because they felt that a thirteen-year-old little emperor, no matter how powerful he was, would not be able to fight against the queen mother and the princes' party.
But calling out the word "imperial party" is different. This shows that Zai Chun has gathered a group of powerful people around him, such as Hunchun, and even Xiao Letian and the Han governors in the south.
Not to mention the remoteness of Heilongjiang's borders, this is only for the common people. For these officials, they can still understand the operation of the entire country.
There were some officials who were not very proud of being under Tepuxin, and some officials who still had bloody hearts finally wavered. They struggled to stand up and said, "General Hunchun! We are not afraid of life and death, we just care about our parents and wives at home." My son’s safety is in danger, so I have no choice but to do this!”
"As you said, as long as you really prove that Qiqihar has fallen into your hands, then you will have an explanation to the court. Isn't it just a bet on the mouth of the river? No problem, we will do it for you..."
"You traitors!" Some of Tepuxin's diehards in the crowd jumped up and yelled, but the soldier knocked him down with the butt of his rifle.
"Come here! Drag out these diehards of Tepuxin and lock them up with their master! Don't worry, His Majesty will always have a decree for you!"
After saying that, Hunchun turned to face the first batch of surrenderers and smiled and said, "If the time I inferred is correct, there will be carrier pigeons coming from Qiqihar at the earliest this evening and at the latest tomorrow morning! When I see the carrier pigeons from your General's Mansion, I think so. That will prove what I say!”
"Then how about we make a truce from now on? Colleagues, please give orders outside the city!"
Soon, messengers ran out of the garrison one after another. War horses ran wildly on the long street. The messengers shouted, "Close the city gates. Aihui City has a curfew tonight! All soldiers and civilians are not allowed to go out without orders! Keep passing the order, curfew!"
The entire Aihui City was eerily silent. In the garrison and armory, the defenders from Ninggu Pagoda began to pile up sandbags for key defense. All the gates of Aihui City were closed tightly, and no one dared to go out. They even ate cold meals at night, for fear that the bonfire would cause unnecessary trouble.
No one was sleeping in the camp outside the city. All the soldiers knew that Hunchun had rebelled. They also knew that the garrison had been captured and all the senior generals had become hostages.
The soldiers were wondering whether there would be a civil war, and the officers were worried that the chief officers who had finally embraced them would die in the mutiny. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the final news.
Gradually, night began to fall in Aihui City, but the homing pigeon that everyone was looking forward to did not appear in the end.
At this moment, more than 500 miles northwest of Aihui, 30,000 Central Asian Cossack reinforcements finally saw the frozen river of Heilongjiang through the ice and snow.
