"The gold has been counted. Thank you very much. I wish you a good night. Bye bye to you..." Hunchun saw that the gold was taken away, smiled at Fadeyev, and wanted to leave.
Fadeyev was stunned. "What? Good night? Wait... Where are my grain and horse feed? Why don't you ask your soldiers to bring them up!"
"Hahaha... why? Hahaha..." Hunchun laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up straight. "Why? Hahaha... you don't know what it means to eat black when you are black? You still want food and horse feed, Go ahead and dream!"
"Asshole! How dare you trick me, Tepuxin! Catch him..."
Although Fadeyev imagined all kinds of emergencies, he never thought that Tepuxin would take advantage of him, and he would be firmly grasped by his pigtails. Moreover, the Manchu and Qing court also issued an imperial edict, so it was certain. How could such a low-level accident happen?
Even though he had fully estimated the moral standards of Qing officials, he never expected that they would be so shameless. Did they really think that their army was vegetarian?
Wait... A flash of lightning flashed in Fadeev's mind. Did Gogol and Furmanov's advance troops have an accident? They were completely annihilated.
No, no, no, that's not true. I'm just too cranky. How could 20,000 Cossacks be annihilated by these rubbish? I'd better catch the bastard Tepushin first.
"Do it, catch him!" At this moment, Fadeyev was surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers delivering gold. Hearing the general's order, he drew the pistol from his waist and aimed at Hunchun without saying a word.
"Let's see who dares to take action!" Hunchun was surrounded by bad guys. More than a dozen private soldiers, each with two revolvers in his hands, surrounded him in a half-moon shape and actually suppressed Fadeev in terms of momentum.
The commander of the Tsarist Russian Army was suddenly stunned. Revolvers were still relatively rare in this era. This kind of pistol originated in the United States is now blooming in the process of Americans' western development. Hundreds of people are driving caravans to open up the west. , almost spending all his money to buy this famous gun.
To maintain order in the Wild West, everyone must be armed, including women and children.
Domestic demand is very large, which naturally results in a scarcity of exports. Currently, revolvers in Europe are basically toys for nobles and officers, and ordinary soldiers are not qualified to use them.
A sudden conflict broke out, and the two sides were at war with each other. Fadeev's side had only four revolvers in total, and the rest were single-shot striker pistols. The appearance was inlaid with gold and silver, which looked very good, but this kind of single-shot pistol was only suitable for duels. Use it from time to time, but it won't be able to compete with the revolver on the actual battlefield.
On the other hand, everyone on Hunchun's side was equipped with double guns. Counting Hunchun, there were eleven people in total, which was twenty-two revolvers. In terms of firepower, the Rakshasa ghosts were still overwhelmed.
Not only that, the two grinning soldiers even untied their wolfskin coats. Fadeyev gasped when he saw it. It turned out that these two Qing soldiers had new detonators and explosives wrapped around their waists.
"Fight! You should fight hard! Are you afraid of me? I'm just cheating today, right? I want the gold, but I won't give you the military rations and horses. As for borrowing money, it's even more impossible!"
"What can you do to me? Bite me!"
Fadeyev's blood pressure soared with anger, "Tepukhin! God will punish you! Do you dare to disobey the Qing court's will? Aren't you afraid that I will send all your black materials to the Qing Dynasty?"
"Hahaha..." Hunchun laughed, and the surrounding soldiers also laughed. "Idiot! Who is Tepuxin? Who is Tepuxin? Children, tell this big nose who I am!"
"Listen up, Rakshasa ghost, this is the newly appointed general of Heilongjiang and Ningguta, Lord Hunchun! That Tepuxin you are talking about! He has been a prisoner for a long time!"
While he was talking, a pile of firewood covered in grease on the river embankment on the south bank was lit by a torch, and the blazing light illuminated the surrounding area. A man with a pair of pigtails, his braids disheveled like a madman, was kneeling on the snow and shivering.
"That's Tepuxin! I've caught him long ago..."
At this point, Fadeyev couldn't help but not believe it. He shouted, "How is this possible? How could the Qing government appoint double generals! Even if they were appointed, why would they put their predecessors in prison?"
"I know, you Hunchun launched a mutiny! You are a traitor to the Qing Dynasty!"
Hunchun took a deep breath of cold air. He seemed to want to vent all the depression in his heart. All the depression of these years was exhaled at this moment. This joyful feeling will never be forgotten in this life.
"That's right! It's a mutiny. I, Hunchun, launched a mutiny and successfully seized the military and political power of Heilongjiang Province! But you are wrong. I am not rebelling. I am acting in respect. Without the emperor's will, I cannot gain the support of the military and civilians of the province. of!"
"Now the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty has issued an order that Tsarist Russian troops will never be allowed to enter the territory of the Qing Dynasty, not even a Tsarist Russian ant!"
Hunchun raised his head and roared, "Where is Your Majesty's tiger? Tell these Rakshasa ghosts where you are..."
The roar pierced both sides of the river. After a while, there was a roaring sound in the darkness on the south bank. The Cossacks on the north bank were stunned when they stood on the river embankment. Fadeyev was also dumbfounded.
I saw in the darkness on the south bank, groups of fires lit up and began to extend rapidly along the east-west direction of the ferry. The large fire groups were lit by bonfires on the ground. Pine sticks rich in grease and rosin were piled as high as one person and lit. Then the raging fire shot into the sky.
The smaller flames were the pine oil torches in the hands of the soldiers. The crazy soldiers were shaking the torches in the air and howling at the north bank.
"The Qing Dynasty... Heilongjiang... Yongziying is at your Majesty's disposal!"
"Yiziying... I will obey the general's orders!"
"Guo Ziying... is here! I won't retreat even an inch..."
One after another, the battalion leaders announced their names and roared to demonstrate to the north bank. The extended light strip was fifteen miles wide, and the entire south bank of the ferry was blocked with water.
"Old Maoshan... Yaerling... Sandaohezi... The Eighteenth Village gangster is here! You are scolding us, we are not the army, but as long as we are fighting Rakshasa ghosts, we will also obey the general's orders!"
"Even if I am a bandit, I am still the emperor's bandit... Grandpa, I do not accept the government's control, but grandpa, I accept the emperor's control!"
"As much as our Majesty is so proud, let's kill the Japanese too..."
Chekov of the 3rd Division and Ashavin of the 4th Division were frightened at that time. "Commander of the Quick Rescue Regiment... The Qing people have set up a heavy defense. There are at least 100,000 troops on the other side! Let the commander of the corps withdraw quickly... …”
But at this time, Fadeyev has been forced into a corner. The two sides are only three or four meters away from each other on the ice. The pistol can be accurate without aiming at this distance. Now whoever dares to act rashly will definitely be facing a row of guns. .
