Suvorov did not yet know at this time what kind of disaster his decision would bring to the Russian army.
It is said that the Chasseurs in the Tsarist Russian Army first appeared in the 1760s. During the Seven Years' War, Rumyantsev, who served as Field Marshal of Tsarist Russia, followed the example of France and Austria and selected agile and accurate shooting squads from voluntary hunters to form two light infantry battalions, calling them Chasseurs.
The hunters were deployed in separate formations during combat, with remarkable results. This combat style and experience have therefore been valued. After that, chasseur teams, chasseur battalions, and chasseur corps appeared one after another in the Russian army, making tactics more flexible.
The Russian army's chasseurs are agile and good at concealing themselves. They can travel long distances without being detected, and they can maneuver flexibly and quickly. In 1770, the chasseurs were separated from the line infantry regiments and organized into independent chasseur battalions. As these chasseurs were soon filled with large numbers of ordinary recruits, they were no longer selected marksmen.
Since 1785, there have been six Chasseur corps in the Tsarist Russian army. Each Chasseur corps has four Chasseur battalions (957 people per battalion), in addition to three independent Chasseur battalions.
However, the Russian jagers were still equipped with muskets instead of rifled muskets at this time; until 1800, only half of the jagers and all sergeants in each platoon were equipped with rifled muskets, and the other half of the platoon was still equipped with muskets.
Based on all the advanced infantry combat theories in Europe of this era, Rumyantsev would do this even if he came. So until now, except for those prisoners of Tsarist Russia, no one understands what kind of "monster" the North Navy is.
In addition to mobilizing two Chasseur corps and five Cossack cavalry battalions, Suvorov's plan also ordered the construction of a huge and solid bastion defense system on the original site of Yaksa City to serve as a "Qing" fleet. When they arrive, the Russian army can annihilate them with ease.
Zhao Xin knew nothing about all this. He was still waiting for the arrival of Liu Sheng and Fan Tong.
Nowadays, the residents of Heilongjiang City have become accustomed to the wake-up signal and lights-out signal coming from the direction of the Navy Camp every day. They simply regard the sound of the horn as the time signal in their lives.
When the Beihai Navy conducted formation and tactical training on the opened training ground, it attracted a large number of old people, children and wounded soldiers of the Qing Army to watch the excitement every day. However, in the afternoon, the sound of reading loudly came from the barracks of the Beihai Navy, which shocked the wounded soldiers of the Qing army.
"Sir, those short-haired soldiers can still go to school? I want to go too, sir, do you think they will agree?" The wounded Qing soldier with a bandage on his arm is named Liu Si, who is only 19 years old this year. This kid has been extremely active since the public trial. He would go to the Beihai Navy station in the morning and evening whenever he had something to do.
Another wounded soldier from the Qing army echoed: "Yes. Mr. Li, what do you think those short-haired soldiers eat all day long? They get up with the trumpet as soon as the rooster crows in the morning, either running or boxing, and jumping up and down all morning. of."
Li Yansheng, the leader of the association, sneered at this and cursed: "A bunch of idiots! Especially you, Liu Si, the idiot among idiots! Studying? Is there smoke rising from the graves of your ancestors or is it a dream from an immortal? Save it. , paper, ink, pen, inkstone and books, even the two lousy money you have are not enough to make them!"
Li Yansheng entered the official school because his family was wealthy; his father, who was a co-leader, hoped that the Li family could have a successor to escape the fate of killing the Han. However, Li Yansheng was not this material at all. He went to official school until he was seventeen years old. He was not very good at reading, but he was quite proficient in bow and horse. Therefore, Lao Li's assistant leader could only let his son become a cadre when he was vacant, and became a personal soldier Geshiha for the then deputy capital commander. Later, he relied on his father's family tradition of artillery skills and a lot of money to find a way, and he became a cannon in more than ten years. Co-leader of the battalion.
In fact, after Li Yansheng shot a Rakshasa with a pistol that day, he asked the Northern Navy soldier on the side how much salary he could get if he joined the army for a month, but the soldier ignored him, which made Li Xieling feel What a shame.
After all, I am a third-grade artillery battalion co-leader!
A few people were chatting in the room when they heard the door ring. Two young men in white coats opened the door and walked in. The wounded soldiers knew that it was time to change their dressings.
A man in a white coat untied the gauze on Li Yansheng's head, checked the wound and said, "The recovery is good. The stitches will be removed in two days."
After everyone in the room had been checked, medicines and gauze had been changed, the two North Korean Navy medical soldiers turned to the next door with the thanks of everyone in the room and the respectful eyes of the wounded.
Liu Si then approached Li Yansheng and said, "Sir, where do you think we should go after the injury is over?"
Li Yansheng probably had a grudge against Liu Si in his previous life. Every time he saw the other person's mean expression, he wanted to scold him, but Liu Si would always talk to him sometimes when nothing happened.
However, this time Li Yansheng did not scold Liu Si, but thought that although he had to uphold loyalty as a military general of the imperial court, he also had to be conscientious, so he rushed to the doctors of the Northern Navy to cure him. If the Northern Navy attacked Rakshasa again in the future, he said You have to help out with everything.
In fact, what won the hearts of the people the most in Heilongjiang City was neither the public trial meeting nor the Beihai Trading Company, but the medical rescue team.
In this operation in Heilongjiang City, the medical team used Hong Tao's homemade "allicin" on a large scale for the first time as the main means of anti-inflammation and antibacterial. Only those injured with serious infections were treated with "penicillin" from another time and space. , the effect is surprisingly good. It's just that the dormitory for wounded soldiers is filled with the smell of garlic all day long, which can stun a newcomer.
Relying on the clinical medical knowledge from another time and space they learned from Hong Tao and Liu Siting, the medical team actually won the title of "The Reincarnation of Hua Tuo" after completing the emergency treatment of all Qing army's minor and serious wounded. His bloody treatment methods of thoracotomy and laparotomy scared the monks at the Great Buddha Temple.
Although those Eight Banners soldiers or family members of the bannermen were still worried that the Beihai Navy would cause trouble for them, they were extremely respectful to the Beihai Navy who wore white coats or carried medicine boxes with red five stars on a white background. In addition to taking care of wounded soldiers, these people also visit the residents in the city to see doctors and give medicines.
For these border families living in the desolate land outside the Great Wall, the men who serve as soldiers are the backbone of the family. They have to rely on farming, fishing and hunting, and the military salary during wartime to support their families; once the strong men in the family are gone, what will happen to this family? The sky at home has collapsed.
Zhao Xin plans to vaccinate the residents of Heilongjiang City with cowpox in a short time to prevent smallpox.
In another time and space, because smallpox had been completely eradicated, cowpox vaccine was not available on the market at all, and only some countries produced a small amount for reserve.
Fortunately, the laboratory preparation process of smallpox vaccine is open, so Hong Tao started to develop vaccinia vaccine last year. At present, more than half of the people in Beihai Town have completed vaccination against cowpox.
After being treated by the medical team, Oolong's condition has gradually improved. After the man who had been shot in the stomach regained consciousness and learned from his wife how he survived the catastrophe, he forced himself out of bed and kowtowed to Wu Xianning three times. Wu Xianning said calmly, if you want to thank him for this, then go and thank King Zhao.
So after learning that Oolong had promised to be Zhao Xin's personal soldier, Oolong's mother came to find Zhao Xin with her children. Faced with the unremitting pleas of one large and one small children, who even kept kneeling down without agreeing, Zhao Xin could only agree.
"Oolong, if you want to be my orderly, there is a condition."
"Sir, I want to be a soldier. What is an orderly?"
"It's almost the same. Let me tell you the conditions first."
"My lord, I am listening to everything you say."
Zhao Xin had someone call Guisheng from the security company over. When they arrived, he said to Oolong: "Follow Platoon Leader Shen first. What he said means what I said."
Wulong nodded, indicating that it was no problem. When he followed Shen Guisheng out of Zhao Xin's tent, Oolong asked curiously: "Master Shen, what should I do?"
Guisheng smiled and tugged on the fluffy ears on the "roe deer's head" and said, "Read."
"ah?"
In another time and space, Heilongjiang City is Heihe. In addition to having the largest copper mine in the Northeast, there is also an iron mine. Local agricultural development mainly relies on livestock breeding and fishery. The main crops are corn, soybeans, wheat and various potatoes. Now that everyone has planned it, Zhao Xin just wants to move here intact.
Two days later, Zhao Xin and Wu Siyu took several local Daur people around the area. They first took a wooden boat to Hailanpao across the Beijiang River from the old city of Aihui.
Hailanpao is a transliteration of Manchu, meaning "Elm House". At the end of the 18th century, Hailanpao was still a small mountain village with only a dozen households. As the Northern Navy defeated the invaders, the villagers who had fled to Heilongjiang City moved back one after another. After all, the crops in the fields needed people to take care of them.
The group of people took a brief look inside and outside the village. Afterwards, Zhao Xin and Wu Siyu looked at the surging river water without saying a word for a long time, feeling a lot of emotion.
On July 17, 1900, in another time and space, an official from the Aihui Vice-President’s Yamen made the following record: “Looking at the other side, countless overseas Chinese from Russia surrounded the river, and the noise shook the field. Take a closer look. The Russian soldiers each held swords and axes, slashing from east to west, breaking corpses into pieces and making their noses sore with the sound. Those who were seriously injured died on the bank, those who were lightly injured died in the river, and those who were not injured were thrown into the water and drowned. The bones drifted over and covered the river. foreign."
After a while, Wu Siyu asked calmly: "How many people were killed at that time?"
"More than five thousand. One day."
Wu Siyu's questions were confused, and Zhao Xin's questions were also confused. This not only confused Chen Jishan, Yin Weibing and others who were accompanying them, but also a few Daur people who could understand Chinese. They wondered when had five thousand people died here?
Wu Siyu then asked: "Where is the Sixty-fourth Village in Jiangdong?"
Zhao Xin pointed to the southeast direction of the intersection of Heilongjiang River and Jieya River and said: "Since it is Jiangdong, it is naturally there."
"How many are there?"
"I forgot the specific number, but it seems to be several thousand. I remember which book said that corpses were floating in the river for several days, so that more than ten days had passed. Countless corpses drowned at the bottom of the Heilongjiang River floated to the surface and flowed down the river. Down below, there was a layer of corpse oil floating on the entire river surface, making the river water smell strangely fishy."
Wu Siyu let out a long breath, and his tone became hard and cold: "When I shot those guys a few days ago, I was a little bit intolerant. Now that I think about it, I was too kind to a woman!"
After the two of them returned to the camp and took a rest, Zhao Xin circled Heilongjiang City, Aihui Old City and Hailanpao on the other side in a big circle on the map, and said to Wu Siyu: "This will be our largest place in the middle reaches of Heilongjiang. Once the town is built here, the entire Heilongjiang General Mansion will be ours."
Wu Siyu praised: "Before I came here, I heard from the old squad leader that there are coal mines here, and that we can build a thermal power plant and a shipyard in the future."
"Would you like to come over and be a mayor for fun in the future?"
When Wu Siyu saw Zhao Xin's "malicious" smile, he trembled in his heart and said hurriedly: "Forget it, staying in the army is more suitable for me."
On the other side, Liu Sheng's fleet had just arrived at Lahassusu. The reason why they were so slow was because something happened when they passed Sanxing City, which delayed them for several days.
Erbok, the deputy governor of the third surname, also panicked after learning the news of the fall of Ninggu Pagoda. There are only more than 500 soldiers left under his command, and the other 800 or so soldiers have been transferred to fill the bottomless pit of Ninggu Pagoda. However, when he learned that Ning Guta's Northern Navy did not have a ship, he felt a little relieved.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, four strange boats and several flat-bottomed wooden boats suddenly passed by the river outside the city and headed straight for Ninggu Pagoda. This frightened Erbok. He heard this from Hezhe I have said that there are several strange-shaped river boats in Beihai Town.
So he quickly summoned the people in the city. Starting from the key pass two hundred miles south of Sanxing City, he made wooden rafts with thick tree trunks across the middle of the river every five miles, and hooked Shen Yujiang with iron anchors at both ends. The bottom was then tied to both sides of the river with iron chains to guard against the Northern Navy fleet.
This trick made Liu Sheng feel bad. There are only machine guns and no cannons on the patrol boat. How many bullets will be wasted if the machine gun only fires? What should I do if broken wood chips get caught in the motor and damage it?
So the Northern Navy had no choice but to send people off the ship to board the raft, saw through the iron chain, break away from the anchor, and row the raft to the shore.
The problem is that there are them every five miles! Erbok led his troops to drive away the residents of the city and the refugees from the surrounding Guanzhuangs along the waterway for more than 200 miles. They did this for three days and two nights, and built forty wooden rafts to block the road. The North Navy demolished one after another. Five miles later there is another road...
Liu Sheng and Fan Tong were depressed to death by this, but there was nothing they could do. By the time their fleet finally reached the river outside Sanxing City, Liu Sheng had been tortured to the point of going crazy, so he directly sent troops ashore to attack Sanxing City.
As a transportation hub connecting Songhua River, Hulha River and Heilongjiang, Sanxing City is in a critical position. What the Qing government built here was a solid city with a circumference of eight miles. The moat was seven feet deep and eight feet wide, and the city wall was eight feet high. When the Beihai Navy arrived, they found that the suspension bridges outside the four gates of Sanxing City had been demolished. It seemed that the Qing troops were preparing for a decisive battle.
Facing such an earthen city, Liu Sheng no longer wanted to conduct reconnaissance and directly ordered the artillery fire.
Unexpectedly, after a violent bombardment, there was no one on the city wall, not even an arrow was shot. Later, when the city gate was blown open, the sharp knife company carried the wood and built a pontoon bridge and rushed into the city. Only then did they realize that The entire Sansurname City was deserted.
After a subsequent search, several soldiers finally found a few old men in the City God's Temple in the northwest corner of the city. After asking, they found out that the deputy commander Erbok had already led the entire city's soldiers and horses after setting up the wooden platoons. He took a boat and ran away to Alchuka (Harbin), while the family members of the bannermen in the city went to Guanzhuang outside the city to take shelter, for fear of the North Navy's revenge.
"What a fucking grandson!" Liu Sheng yelled angrily after learning about it, thinking to himself: Why are these guys becoming more and more cunning?
