Chapter 1129: Peter overturned the river and the sea
Even with one tail, there are dozens of boats, twenty or thirty thousand people, because most of the ones that fall behind are troop carriers loaded with displaced divisions.
These ships were largely incapable of confronting warships, and the outcasts had little loyalty to the Tsar.
They were still relatively obedient to Nikolai Muravyov, but now that Nikolai Muravyov had run away, it was obvious that he couldn't take care of them and categorically abandoned their burden.
Therefore, as soon as they were cut off and surrounded by the Celestial warships, they all surrendered immediately.
Then, the fleet of the Heavenly Kingdom was also divided into two, half of the troops under the leadership of Meng Yi entered the Ergun River, and the other half was under the command of Mai Ke, chasing into the main channel of the Lulong River!
At this time, the brigade of the Heavenly Army swarmed in!
The main ones were 500,000 White Russian mercenaries from Rosander, 50,000 cavalry from Dongying, and 50,000 cavalry from Goryeo.
This is the force that Mai Ke originally planned.
Who knows, when these 600,000 cavalry stand in formation, another team will be revealed behind!
Mai Ke looked at it himself, and it turned out to be the three "skies" of the Cossacks!
Why did they come too?
Mai Ke didn't notice that Yinglong next to him had already turned pale several times!
Those White Russians scared him to the core, there were so many Cossacks!
Who is Mai Ke, 1 who has brought these huge and irresistible enemies?
Well, he thinks these are enemies, and they are going to be bad for him!
It turned out that he still had a little sense of resistance, but now he doesn't have it at all.
Don't even think about fighting them.
At this time, Luo Shande came and reported to Mai Ke.
As soon as Mai Ke heard what he said, he knew that the three of them had heard that there was a fight. Insist on coming along!
Of course, it is no longer about opposing the Celestial Army, but helping the Celestial Army to fight!
Their reasons are still very good - since you can do it in Belarus, I Cossack can do it too!
However, Wei Changhui said that you need to go back to your hometown to rectify your fathers and elders in your hometown, so as not to conflict with the Heavenly Army!
Such. They reluctantly left a third, that is, 50,000 people, to go home to do the persuasion work, and the other two-thirds, that is, 100,000, followed Roshande!
At this time, Yinglong interjected: "It turns out that you are all in a gang! You almost didn't scare me to death just now!"
Mai Ke looked at Yinglong, and saw that his little face was still miserable white and black, which was a unique sign of excessive fright.
"Well, if they come, let them deal with the Cossacks who live on the north bank of the Lulong River! Divide 200,000 and fight along the north bank of the Ergun River to get rid of all the people sent by the Tsar!" Mai Ke immediately made a decisive decision.
Then the waterway army, with a scale of nearly one million, began to clean up the course of the Lulong River and its basin.
Let's talk about Peter, who is on a mission in the lower reaches of the Weilong River.
After Peter accepted the mission, he arranged the sailors who had gone with him, and let him drive his command ship back to the U.S. Navy fleet he had led.
Ever since he entered Xijiang, he had never had a chance to return to his fleet. And the rest of the fleet was under the leadership of his own adjutant, Anderson. Transferred to the North Pacific region.
It is the waters bordering Dongying and Russia, and regional conflicts have never been interrupted.
However, the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet, under Peter's command, never took part in these battles.
Because at this time, we have to fight, only for the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of heaven!
And at that time the left area of this sea area. There is no Celestial Force yet.
The fleet sometimes helped the Manchu navy, mainly to prevent Dongying and Russia from taking advantage!
Mai Ke told Peter that those things in the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty would belong to Heaven and the Heavenly Army in the future, and now they were only temporarily kept in the hands of these Qing troops. Of course you can't give it to others.
Peter returned to the fleet on the command ship, and the whole fleet was jubilant!
On the surface, there was a lively and happy scene, and some of the good deeds even withdrew a banner with a large letter: "Celebrate Peter's departure from the Gentle Country; Welcome the Commander back into the Singles!"
Well, I thought Peter was nostalgic for his new wife, and he couldn't miss it.
These people, since Gwangju sent Peter to get married, they have not seen Peter come back, and they have been drifting on the sea, and the news is very closed.
However, no matter whether there is a misunderstanding on the surface, or whether they are happy, they can't replace these lonely young people who are hanging overseas and vomit in their hearts: "Okay, you Peter, you are really full and you don't know that hungry men are hungry, you are waterlogging and dying there, we are dying of drought here, do you know it?
I don't know where they learned this sentence, and they originally wanted to replace it with a recognized Jiao Rao in the United States, but they couldn't find it for a long time, so they had to leave it as it was.
Mai Ke said to everyone and waved very gracefully, and said loudly: "Brothers have worked hard!"
Those guys who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic took the opportunity to coax: "The commander is hard! Hard inside and out! Hard work up and down! Big and small hard work! We are not bitter at all!"
Peter laughed: "I know that you have a grudge in your heart, so I will give you a chance to scatter now! Come, come, come to me first to get some good food, and then come with me!"
After that, Peter's command ship made a beautiful turn, one hundred and eighty degrees, turned around, and headed towards the mouth of the Weilong River!
Along the way, everyone ate and drank as if celebrating victory!
All the food is the seasonal fruits that Peter brought!
These lads who have been at sea all day and can only eat some dry food are so happy that they almost swallow their tongues!
After drinking half a bottle, I realized the infinite mystery of this water!
This water is on par with the fruits of the four seasons!
No!
After drinking the water, the fatigue of the boys' many days was swept away!
Look at the side of the Tsarist Russian Navy.
The commander of the fleet here is Nevelskoy, a Russian naval officer, who is also a member of the veteran vanguard of the invasion of China!
He had long led the armed men of Tsarist Russia to invade the lower reaches of the Weilong River and established many invasion strongholds.
Subsequently, under the command of the Governor of Eastern Siberia, Muravyov, a large number of Tsarist Russian invading troops broke into the Weilong River and occupied the north bank of the middle and upper reaches and the banks of the lower reaches.
All these aggressive activities, all carried out along the coast, are directly related to this one!
At the beginning of the 19th century, the border between China and Russia was relatively calm, although there were few official contacts between China and Russia.
The two sides have strengthened border management, friendly exchanges between border people of the two countries, border guards have exchanged gifts and food, and the Chinese side has even allowed Cossack soldiers to go fishing in China's inland rivers.
In June 1806, during the catastrophe in northern China, Russia also sold grain to China to help with disaster relief.
On August 30, 1807, the Russian side also invited the Chinese people to attend the Tsar's Naming Day party.
However, instead of trusting the two sides, they were wary.
During this period, correspondence between high-level officials of the Russian Foreign Ministry shows that they are obviously cautious about China, and sometimes even hostile.
In his recital to the imperial court, the frontier commander of the Qing army also indicated that the Qing army always took secret measures to guard against the surprise attack of the Russian ** team.
In August 1942, when China and Britain signed the Treaty of Nanjing, the Russians saw that China was already a foreign power, and that Britain, France, and other Western powers had begun to land in the Far East.
In the first half of the 19th century, a large number of Russian scientific expeditions with military objectives flocked to the Far East to find a basis and possibility for the inclusion of the Lulong River in Russia's territory from all sides.
As early as 1816, Irkutsk Governor Kornilov sent a letter to Russian Foreign Minister Nesher Roger, in which he believed that the Russian-Chinese border must be drawn along the Weilong River.
In January 1849, the Tsar formed a commission for the investigation of the Russian Far East and sent Navy Captain Nevelskoy to inspect the Sea of Okhotsk and the mouth of the Lulong River.
It was at that time that the current commander of the Navy began his career of aggression against China.
Nevelskoy went so far as to write a report saying that Sakhalin Island, a Chinese territory, is terra nullius land and that the mouth of the Weilong River has nothing to do with China.
On June 29, 1850, Nevelskoy built a number of military posts on the north bank of the Lulong River.
In July of the same year, he built a military wharf not far from the mouth of the Weilong River, which was later expanded into a military port and named Mykolaiv Port. As soon as the port was completed, Nevelskoy raised the flag of the Russian Navy and declared the port to belong to Russia, with only ten Russians with him.
The most supportive of Nevelskoy was none other than the Governor of Eastern Siberia, Muravyov, who was only 38 years old when he took office and was a hawk in the Russian army.
He strongly advocated tough diplomacy toward China, proposing that Russia should immediately expel the Western powers in the Far East by force on the one hand, and quickly occupy the mouth of the Weilong River on the other, and if China objected, it would not hesitate to fight.
At that time, he came up with the slogan, "Where the Russian flag is raised, there is Russian territory".
Governor Muravyov's strategy was that whoever took the outlet of the river would take Siberia and the Baikal region, and whoever gained the outlet of the river would control the economic lifeline of Siberia and the Far East.
These two guys are in cahoots, whether it is the naval fleet or the strongholds on the road, they are fully prepared, and the goal is to swallow the Lulong River in one bite!
Peter's well-fed lads are now in high spirits!
With their excess energy, they all looked for a place to vent and ran into Nevelskoy's fleet head-on!
Two behemoths representing the East and the West, bumping into each other for the first time, I don't know whether to shake hands or swing fists!
"Hit!" Peter shouted!
Others don't count in their hearts, but Peter is dumb and eats dumplings, and he knows how to count them in his heart!
Because this number is what Mai Ke told him!
The purpose of his coming here is to destroy the Russian Far East Fleet!
In the blink of an eye, the guns of the US Navy in their hearts were poured on the Russian fleet, and the entire fleet was rammed without hesitation! .
