The expansion of Tsarist Russia in the Northeast is inseparable from their soul Muravyov. Muravyov really did his best in the matter of invading Northeast China. As long as he can take a few acres of land in China, this Muravyov will always have great enthusiasm, that is, tireless and persevering, and extremely adventurous.

In the process of invading China's Heilongjiang, Ussuri and other regions, Muravyov's pace was so big, the progress was so fast, and the goal was so grand, that the Qing court was almost powerless to resist and was completely defeated. It also made the Russian Foreign Ministry dumbfounded and exhausted, so much so that Muravyov often complained that the officials in St. Petersburg were conservative, timid, incompetent, and sluggish, and could not keep up with his rapid pace in China. Of course, it was not only Beijing and St. Petersburg that could not keep up with him, but also his minions and accomplices, so much so that Muravyov completely used his officers and soldiers and immigrants as cattle, which made them all complain. So not only the Chinese have to deal with Muravyov, but even the Russians hate him. In order to get rid of Muravyov, the Russians constantly reported Muravyov to St. Petersburg, attacked him in magazines and newspapers, and called Muravyov all the tricks he could think of.

Thanks to the repeated efforts of the kind people of China and Russia, Muravyov finally rolled back to Europe. In addition to his own exhaustion, Muravyov's transfer at this time was also an important reason. But although the nasty ghost is gone, his spirit will still be tossed in the northeast for a while.

Muravyov's blackmail benefited greatly from his blackmail, which made him addicted to armed blackmail, and during the Second Opium War, he tried to use force again to force Tepchen to comply. Muravyov made a detailed plan, led by Shirkovsky, who was familiar with the geography of the interior, and the Russian army launched an attack on Tepchin's defense line in two ways in the autumn, all the way to Kulen and the other to Aihui. And it is necessary to cooperate with the river fleet to cross the Erguna River and take Hailar, Morgen, and Qiqihar directly. Such a huge offensive was only his vanguard, and Muravyov had to wait until the spring grass grew, and then sent the main force south to seize the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop.

However, God helped, the outer northeast where the Xiaoice River had just receded, the climate was still very cold, and Muravyov was punished by heaven and almost died of illness in Hailan. He could only return to his country to face the saint and recuperate his body by the way, which was also the time when Tepqin achieved a series of results. However, Muravyov, who was huddled in Irkutsk with only half a life left, still refused to stop, and successively instructed Shishmarev, who remained behind, to take a tough attitude toward China, such as blockading the Songhua River with artillery bombardment, arming Russian immigrants on the left bank of the Heilongjiang River, building artillery batteries on the island opposite Aihui, and forcibly disarming the Chinese regiment. However, at this time, the regimental training of Tepchen and Aishentai had been completed, and the various units along the river were well defended, and Shishmarev did not have the adventurous spirit of Muravyov, so he did not dare to operate Muravyov's bold plan at all.

During the negotiations between China, Britain and France in Beijing, Muravyov was like a hungry wolf that smelled blood, staring at the map of Northeast China with red eyes every day. Moreover, he seemed to have been encouraged by Britain and France, and began to clamore that "the only way to get China to fulfill its treaties is to occupy Beijing." However, the situation was not what he expected, although the "Beijing Treaty" was still a Qing bloodletting, but Britain and France were very restrained, and there was a bit of a point to stop. Ignatiev, the Russian envoy in Beijing, also sent him information that the regular army in the Great Qing Pass was very strong, and the British and French forces had suffered great losses, and advised him not to act rashly for the time being.

Muravyov was really a little vague, and while stopping the clamour, he successively sent Malevich and others into China to find out the truth. After a delay of more than half a year, Muravyov felt that he had been deceived and that the Chinese river defense forces had not changed at all. Muravyov was tempted to continue using force, but his body finally couldn't bear it, and in the face of the threat of death, he obediently rolled back to Europe, but his successor, Karsakov, was the heir to his mantle.

Karsakov originally wanted to do it immediately, but the colonies in the outer northeast really did not improve, and he relied on Cossacks like Hanako to challenge the river defense of Tepchin, and Karsakov was also a little bottomless. So he had to wait a little longer, when the arms of European aid arrived, when he armed all the immigrants, and then he went to blackmail Tepchin.

Tepchin was lucky, because Muravyov was gone when he took office, and Karsakov was unlucky, because Gohin came when he was in the army. Karsakov's plan for Muravyov's march was not changed much, but the army attacking Kulen on the right was adjusted to attack the three districts on the left, because the three regions produced more grain and the poor Russians needed it. Karsakov also mastered the rhythm of the march very well, and when Goxinga reflected on it later, he suspected that this buddy was fighting with him. As soon as Acton's 3rd Provisional Infantry Regiment entered the Sanjiao area, the Russian Army's Left Route Army was killed, and as soon as Goxinga arrived in Aihui, the main force of the Russian army rushed to Aihui under the leadership of the Russian commander Kazakievich, almost exactly the same.

Karsakov thought well, in his vision, the Russian army on the left broke through the territory of the three surnames in advance, and the front of the troops was directed at Jilin. This will make the Qing army's river defense fall into chaos, and Tepuqin will inevitably transfer troops to the south, and at this time, if he suddenly attacks Aihui, Tepuqin will definitely be unable to parry. But the left army of the Russian army did not meet the old acquaintance Funyana, but the new friend Acton.

After Acton arrived at the third surname, he didn't even know which side was north, and three thousand Cossacks rushed up. Naturally, there was no need to intercept this situation, and the three temporary regiments didn't even put down their marching bags, so the guy greeted them. The two armies met in the wilderness, the Russian commander Budogosky, who was a civilian officer, had a big snot bubble coming out, and the infantry and cavalry fought in the field, and he and all the Cossack warriors felt that they had won.

The proud Cossack warriors drew their sabers in the sun, but instead of raising their bows or spears, the Gu'an army introduced machine guns and field guns. By the time the Russian army shouted "Ula" and launched a charge, the battle was already over. In less than ten minutes, the Cossack cavalry came and ran back and forth, but only 1,000 ran back with 3,000 men. On the open battlefield, 3,000 Russian troops lined up in a dense phalanx, and the tall cavalry was like a huge target, and Acton killed with no sense of accomplishment.

Budogosky, who fled back in disarray, sent a letter to Karsakov. However, because of the problem of comprehension, Budogosky's statement of the battle was very vague, so Karsakov only knew that the Russian army on the left was defeated by the main force of the Qing army, and did not know how the army on the left was defeated. The defeat of the Left Route Army not only did not make Karsakov realize that the enemy was different, but made him mistakenly believe that the main force of the Qing army's river defense had moved eastward, and the defense around Aihui must be weak.

Karsakov's judgment was really correct, and the flag soldiers and regimental training under Tepchin had indeed been eliminated a lot. Because most of the soldiers trained in these regiments are from the surrounding Oroqen tribes, it doesn't matter if they come out to fight for a few months occasionally, they can't stand it after years of such a toss. These warriors were the main laborers of the tribe, and without them, farming and hunting in the tribe would be very affected, and Tepchen had been worried about this for a long time. This time, Guoxing'a led a large army into Heiji, and the Jiang'an army naturally took care of the Jiang'an army's affairs, so Tepqin began to gradually dismiss these militiamen. The increasingly scarce number of troops on the river defense made Karsakov even more firm in his judgment.

Karsakov firmly believed that the main force of the Qing army's river defense was going east, so he was ready to play a big game, and in the name of negotiation, he deceived Tepqin to Aihui, and prepared to carry out a beheading operation to directly arrest the supreme commander of the Qing army in Heilongjiang. It was with this purpose that the Russian army's march was very secretive, and after crossing the river, it used the advantage of cavalry to quickly surround Aihui, resolutely not giving Tepqin a chance to escape, but unfortunately Guoxing'a was also surrounded.

The Russian army is a Cossack militia, although it is very brave and strong, but it still has little combat effectiveness in the face of the regular army, but it still scares everyone in Aihui City. Tepqin and Aishentai were so anxious that they jumped to their feet, and Guo Xing'a and others were also quite flustered. Guo Xing'a nominally came with the main forces of each ministry, but in fact, there were not many troops, and each ministry was only a part. The main forces of Tan Shaoguang and Bi Yuntao remained in Qiqihar to stabilize the base camp, and only one company of each division followed Guoxing'a, and the two regiments of the light cavalry brigade had been scattered throughout the province. Because Changchun, Jilin, Qiqihar and other places still needed infrastructure, only one battalion of the baggage regiment and the engineer regiment came, while the artillery regiment only had one battalion of light artillery, and Kong Zhen stayed in Qiqihar with heavy artillery. The actual strength of Goxinga's side was only one company of the cavalry infantry regiment, one company of the infantry regiment, one battalion of engineers, baggage soldiers, and artillery, and then there were the heavy cavalry battalions, reconnaissance battalions, and guard companies directly under the company, with a total of more than 3,000 people. Originally, there was also a regiment of Cao Meng's light cavalry available, but Guo Xing'a had just sent him to inspect the deployment along the river, and now they were all about to reach Yichun, when they could rush back after hearing the alarm, it was a question that only God knows.

"Please move the general immediately!" Pi Runmin didn't want Guo Xing'a to personally command this kind of extremely confused battle, so it was better to run away quickly, and if he wanted to find a field, he had to wait for the main force to be transferred.

"What's going on with the reconnaissance battalion, the enemy has arrived at the city before they react!" Goxinga is very incomprehensible to the Russian army's divine soldiers.

"General, we are marching on the inside line, after the reconnaissance battalion was stationed, it only released a warning post to the perimeter, and the Russian army came from the other side of the river, and it was not within their warning range at all. The incident happened suddenly, the general should not be in danger, or after retreating and joining the main force, he should reason with the Russians! "Now is not the time to hold him accountable, but since Guo Xing'a asked, Zou Degui can only explain it for Changlu.

"Fuck, if Lao Tzu leaves today, will I still have a face in the future? The engineers, artillery, baggage and two infantry companies were integrated, under the personal command of Lao Tzu, Changlu covered my flank, and Mu Shun copied the rear. Lao Tzu came to see how capable Lao Maozi was! Guo Xing's official uniform was thrown back, revealing a close-fitting Gu'an-style military uniform, and he took out his saber and walked out.
