Fadeev was not afraid of the 'Tepukhin' in front of him at all, because the garrison in the Far East had already gathered all the information about the greedy general and sent it to him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Why did Gogol and Fumanov take 7,000 ounces of gold before? Not to pay tolls to the local people, but only to bribe the general.

In the list of bribes offered by the Tsarist Russians, Hunchun's name is absolutely not available, not only because Hunchun hated the Tsarist Russians and the two sides did not establish some kind of relationship at all.

It is even more because Hunchun's defense area is on the south bank of the Heilongjiang River, once the Cossacks cross the Heilongjiang River, they will no longer have to look at anyone's face, and the powerful Cossacks will naturally destroy all the praying mantis who dare to stand in the way.

In front of Fadeyev, the scene that Tepukhin put on is just trying to squeeze more oil and water, an official who can sell his homeland for gold, and a general who can even export his own people as goods, he has no limits and principles.

It was the norm for Manchu officials to create difficulties and raise prices, and once these soft bones encountered a tough opponent, they would immediately turn into wagging dogs when the steel knife was held around the neck.

The gold that is given to you now will one day be doubled, and not only that, but you will also be robbed of your land and population, everything in the Far East is ours.

Of course, Hunchun understood the threat of his opponent, but he didn't want to reveal his true identity yet, so he pretended to be panicked and said, "You...... Don't think I'm going to be afraid of you, your vanguard is already fighting with the volunteers! If you don't want to use the excuse, get out of here, I don't believe you don't care about the lives of those soldiers!"

Fadeev snorted coldly, "Hurry up, how much do you want? I don't have time for you to ink!"

Hunchun blinked and asked, "How much gold can you dig for?"

The squeak of Fargiev's lambskin gloves shows the anger in his heart, and in the face of these greedy Manchu officials, if he hadn't asked for them, he really wanted to split the other party's head with a knife.

"Okay...... I'll give you 20,000 taels, that's the limit of our army's gold! I won't give any more points, and I don't have any more gold!"

"20,000 taels is 35,000 ounces of gold, which is already an astronomical amount! In our Europe, we can buy two or three yachts, and four or five estates!"

"I don't care how you distribute it, even if you Trophin swallows all this gold yourself, I don't care! I need 30,000 people to eat and a lot of horse feed, the more the better......

"I know you have a way, what you shameless officials are best at is to make false accounts, and you can settle the accounts and report the loss of these grain and horse materials in just a year!

"Hehehe...... Didn't the gunpowder you sold to our garrison end up being attrition?"

Hunchun's eyelids trembled and said that this Tepuxin must die, and he must not stay, and he even dared to smuggle gunpowder to the Rakshasa ghost, which really cost money.

In fact, when Tsarist Russia opened up the Far East, the Trans-Siberian Railway was not built at all, and the industrial equipment of Tsarist Russia was in the west of the empire, and it was definitely a very difficult task to transport it to Far East Siberia.

The supply of materials from Moscow to Vladivostok in the Far East, basically 10,000 gold rubles of equipment and materials, and 20,000 gold rubles for freight, this is not a joke, in the era when there was no railway transportation, the resources consumed by materials over mountains and mountains were amazing.

For example, in the Caucasus Mountains, where many times it is necessary to rely on manpower to carry supplies a little bit, in the cold and snowy night of the Mobei steppe, maybe a snowstorm can swallow a whole convoy, this kind of loss even the Russian Empire can not afford.

Therefore, the soldiers who survived in the Far East cherished the supplies very much, and they would never rely on Western Europe for supplies that could be solved locally, and they would never eat bread if they could hunt, and even consumables such as gunpowder would not rely on the imperial military factories if they could be smuggled from the Qing Dynasty.

Fadeev knew that without the smuggling network set up by these corrupt officials outside the Qing Dynasty, the garrisons in the Far East would not have been able to hold out at all, gunpowder, iron, salt, condiments, spirits, and wound medicine...... All kinds of materials need to be provided by Qing people.

The situation was not completely resolved until the Trans-Siberian Railway was completed, and it can be said that the corrupt officials and profiteers within the Manchu Qing Dynasty helped these rakshasas through the most difficult period.

Hunchun stomped his feet and said fiercely: "Add another two thousand taels!

Fadeev's lungs exploded: "Oh God, how can you be so greedy! All this gold was bought by our brave Cossacks with their lives! There are only 20,000 taels, not a cent more!"

"Hehehe...... Let's be honest! I still grabbed it! Mobei Grassland let you grab it...... Alright, just do as you say, and let your soldiers bring the gold, and I'll count it in person......"

The northwest wind howled, the torches on the ice were blown and snorted, and the figures on the ice were long and reflected by the light of the torches, like groups of imps.

20,000 taels of gold, equivalent to 35,000 ounces, 1,000 kilograms, one ton!

Such mass was enough to crush a piece of ice, so it had to be transported by soldiers in a dispersed manner.

The soldiers on the north bank divided the gold into different packages and leather bags, and then carried them on their backs and walked to the middle of the river at night like thieves, while there were also many accounts and soldiers on the south bank, waiting to be counted.

Just in the heart of the river in Heilongjiang, a deal is underway.

Bags of gold were scattered, torches shone brightly, and the shopkeepers and bookkeepers of all the merchants in Aihui City were invited out, and then the firelight began to count the gold.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, what kind of gold is this, this is the evidence of murder that haunts unjust souls. Gold hairpins, gold collars, gold cups, gold plates, and various gold ornaments.

There are also jade, agate, various colored gemstones, and even a small amount of gold and silver inlaid handicrafts.

What's even more terrifying is that there are blood-stained gold teeth inside, and even a few fingers with gold rings. The counting room almost threw up at that time.

At a glance, it is clear that this is a finger cut off from a human hand, and when this group of robbers robbed gold, they may have pursued efficiency too much, and they didn't bother to take it off and cut off their fingers directly, and threw the gold in the loot pile with flesh and blood.

The bookkeeper wanted to take that finger out, but a CIA officer next to him shook his head, "Put it back, this gold will be evidence ......of the lawsuit in the future!"

It took a full hour for the gold inventory to be completed, a total of 20,000 and 80 taels, Hunchun nodded with a smile and waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him began to retreat to the south bank with the gold on their backs.
