What is supposed to come will come. The Rakshasa ghosts stationed at Lake Balkhash are not here for tourism. The goals of the invaders will not change. What will change is only the time and plan.
When the Chinese triumphed in Europe, and when Tsarist Russia realized that there were no loopholes to exploit on the negotiating table, they decided to divert the trouble to the east.
If I can't defeat you, Xiao Letian, how can I defeat the backward and decadent Manchu Qing Dynasty? The losses in the east will be made up by the west. As long as the fertile Ili Valley is occupied, there will be room for negotiation with the Manchus.
When the time comes, we can negotiate with the Chinese and the Manchus at the same time, so that the empire will not suffer too much.
In October 1871, 60,000 Cossacks from Lake Balkhash suddenly launched an action. They advanced eastward along the frozen Ili River.
All the towns along the way fled, and the terrifying legend of the Rakshasa ghost completely frightened all the herdsmen and farmers!
An army of 60,000 Cossacks launched an operation. This formation was impossible to hide from anyone. The forwards had already set out forty or fifty kilometers, while the rearguard troops were still bundling packages in the camp.
The long march was like locusts, overwhelming the Ili River. Slowly, these murderous Cossack cavalry rushed towards the rich city in the cold wind and snow.
"Speed up...Speed up...We will spend the winter in a Han city this year!"
"These weak and inferior ethnic groups are a bunch of bugs when it comes to fighting, but they are good at building houses, farming, and herding!"
"God bless us and let us eat the fattest lamb!"
In the cold wind and snow, the commander of the Tsarist Russian army was boosting the morale of the soldiers. Why bother? This morale didn't need boosting at all, it was already at its peak.
Wherever there are Chinese people, there will be the most exquisite life. This is already the unified thought of the Rakshasa ghosts!
Do Chinese people live exquisitely? Perhaps many aristocrats in Paris and London are dismissive. After all, those high-ranking aristocrats can enjoy the top resources of the entire society.
Just like the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even if Xianfeng fled to Rehe, a meal would still have 180 dishes!
This is the exquisite life of aristocrats, which is incomparable at all, but Chinese people, especially commoners, can enjoy an exquisite and wealthy life belonging to common people.
This is something that no other ethnic group has!
They all herd sheep, so how can the Chinese herd sheep and produce fat and tender lambs without any smell?
They are all herd horses, so how come the Chinese can still use horse meat and horse intestines to make the best winter bacon?
They all eat grain, so how can the Chinese make a sumptuous meal of meat and vegetables at the cheapest cost?
They both build houses, so why are Chinese adobe houses warmer and more durable than wooden houses?
The richness of civilization is often reflected in the basic necessities of life, especially the sophistication of the people at the bottom, which cannot be deceived.
If the same resources are given to the Chinese, there won't be any waste. They can even make disgusting chicken feet into delicacies and eat them.
The reeds and grass by the river that are not eaten by cattle and sheep can be turned into wealth in the hands of the Chinese. Whether it is reed mats or the insulation layer of the roof, this kind of garbage in the eyes of Rakshasa ghosts can be turned into waste in the hands of the Chinese. precious.
This is the precious wealth accumulated by thousands of years of farming civilization. It is an exquisite life belonging to the common people at the bottom. This is a miracle that the Rakshasa ghosts cannot master at all.
I don’t know how to do it myself, so that doesn’t matter, I can grab it!
We snatched so many hard-working Chinese people as slaves and asked them to build houses, cook, herd sheep, herd horses, and make various exquisite handmade products for us.
"Kill!" The excited Cossack cavalry were thinking about the Han people's hand-meal, warm adobe houses, and roasted lamb chops without the smell... We must come to such a refined and wealthy life. Rob!
Sixty thousand crazy bandits have raised their butcher's knives towards the beautiful life in their hearts. This year they will eat Chinese, wear Chinese, live in Chinese, and use Chinese!
"Everything here belongs to us! Ula!"
The five hundred cavalry in the vanguard were advancing vigorously. At this moment, they could already see the faint light of Kapchagai in the dark night. The intelligence showed that a British expedition would come here today.
The order given to the vanguard was to politely 'protect' the expedition.
If you want to protect the expedition team, you have to ensure that you are surprised and unprepared. The entire vanguard attacked and fought a proud blitzkrieg in the Ili Valley.
However, these people underestimated the superb riding skills of the Kazakh and Mongolian herdsmen, and they even underestimated the friendship between these herdsmen and the Han people who have lived together with the Han people for generations.
When the iron hooves of the vanguard woke up countless sleeping children, the blood of the rescued cavalry began to burn in the hearts of the sturdy herdsmen. Many herdsmen did not even have time to put on their clothes, so they threw on a piece of sheepskin and jumped on board with their arms open. war horse.
"Take the children to hide among the sheep, and drive the sheep to the north... With the sheep, you won't freeze to death, so hurry up..."
"I'm going to report to Third Uncle and the others... fight!"
The herdsman rode the fastest horse with two others beside him. He jumped back and forth on the running horse without slowing down at all, trying to save all the horsepower.
There was not just one herdsman family along the way, there were forty or fifty herdsmen running towards the distant city as far as the eye could see!
In this era, the Han people here are not just the name of a nation. In this era, the Han people represent the civilization that the people at the bottom aspire to.
Those Han people can attract the most conscientious caravans. They never deduct or rip off customers.
Those Han people know basic medical facilities, and a lot of bitter pills can save lives.
Those Han people also know some interesting survival skills, and teaching them one or two things can make a tribe rich or survive.
Don’t forget that behind those Han people there is an unimaginably powerful country. Of course, the so-called power in this era is just the imagination of the herdsmen.
These minorities have not received any favors from Veteran Cullen. There are even veterans who can deliver babies. Many children have survived thanks to his medical skills.
Not to mention ordinary headaches and fever, the Han people can always come up with a prescription.
Today the Rakshasa ghost is here. How can these herdsmen, who have received so much kindness on a daily basis, not come and send a message, although that is all they can do.
"Run away! Third uncle, run away... the Rakshasa ghost is coming..."
The temperature was 18 degrees below zero, but the sturdy Kazakh man with only a piece of sheepskin on his upper body was covered in white smoke. When they approached the forage field, he squeezed all the strength out of his lungs to report the news to the people in the city.
"Run away...run away...run away..."
Bang bang bang... Gunshots rang out, and the herdsmen who were running at high speed screamed and fell off their horses with a bullet in their heart. However, the three strong horses were still running forward without anyone controlling them, dragging their master's body.
The blood drew long bright red traces on the white snowfield, but they were soon covered by a new blizzard!
