Soon, the 50,000 taels of silver allocated by the household department arrived in Baoding, along with the silver, as well as 300 American-made rear-loading rifles and ten cannons.

At this time, Guo Ye had already gritted his teeth and laid off all the soldiers, and in the treasury of the entire General Military Mansion, the river dried up and the sea fell, and it was completely bottomed out, and even the funding of the monk king was put in.

Just when a few people were anxious, Hubu Yin arrived, and Guo Ye and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next thing is simple, immediately recruit troops, Baoding Mansion is the first important town in Zhili, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and it is still very easy to recruit 1,800 people.

Guo Ye set up five large battalions in Baoding Town after rectification, with a cavalry battalion of 400 people, which was personally supervised by the deputy general He Qimou, which was the most important combat force; The 500 men of the left battalion were personally under the command of Chen Hai, and the 500 men of the right battalion were personally led by Zuo Guigui; 500 people in the Chinese army's personal guard battalion were handed over to Gao Qi, and 500 people in the rear military camp were led by the original second battalion of Baoding Town, led by Lianshan, in addition to the five large battalions, Guo Ye also formed a baggage battalion of 200 people. The two counselors, Luo Zili and Ke Yu, one is in charge of camp affairs, and the other is in charge of counselors' secrets, although these two people, Guo Ye can't look down on them, but now they can only be used, fortunately, the five battalions are basically in their own hands, even if they are in charge of the rear army, they are really not weak under their hands.

After dealing with the affairs of rectifying Baoding Town, Guo Ye began a full range of military training, military discipline, physical fitness, tactics, gun use, infantry and artillery coordination, almost all modern military concepts, as long as Guo Ye mastered them, desperately instilled them in the generals below, and then infiltrated the battalions little by little.

In just one month, the appearance of Baoding Town has taken on a new look, when Baoding Mansion sees the Qing Army, as long as it is a sergeant who walks with his head held high, the people will point and say, this is a soldier who came out of Baoding Town!

However, accidents always happen at unexpected times.

Just when Guo Ye was training recruits, an earth-shattering event occurred in the north.

Tsarist Russia in the north learned that the Qing government had signed peace treaties with Britain, the United States and France, and seized certain benefits, but left their Tsarist Russian empire aside, which really angered Tsar Alexander II, who had just succeeded to the throne!

After spending a long time, I didn't get any benefits, but was taken advantage of by Anglo-American law, which is unbearable!

Under Alexander's order, Mushavyov, the governor of Eastern Siberia, began to mobilize his army, and after preparing everything, he brazenly launched a war of aggression against the area east of the Ussuri River in China.

Heilongjiang General Yishan repeatedly warned Tsarist Russia and protested to Tsarist Russia, but Mushavyov ignored it and continued his aggressive actions.

Under tremendous pressure, Yishan had to send troops, mobilized 6,000 troops from the Heilongjiang garrison, and launched an attack on the Russian army, in an attempt to drive the Russian army out of the area east of the Ussuri River.

As a result, 6,000 people against more than 3,000 people, the huge military superiority did not play the slightest role, and the rotten Qing soldiers were not vulnerable to a single blow in the face of the wolf-like Russian army, and they were beaten by the Russian army in a blink of an eye, and Yishan almost even took his life.

Yishan was so frightened that he fled all the way back to Qiqihar with the remnants of the defeated army, and rushed to the imperial court in an urgent way of 700 miles, asking for support from the army.

Xianfeng got Yishan's urgent report, and was so angry that he overturned the table on the spot, Yishan is a complete waste, it's only been a few days, and the Russians have been beaten to the ground? It's useless, waste!

But what can be done now? All the elite soldiers of the imperial court are encircling and suppressing Changmao in the Jianghuai area, and the army of the northern monk Lingqin is also stationed in Gyeonggi, deterring the foreigners and the twisted bandits who are constantly setting off waves in the north, where can there be troops to help Heilongjiang?

In the early dynasty, Xianfeng asked the courtiers, the courtiers were also silent, there was no way, the Russians were very fierce, I heard that even the children were eaten raw, the people were tall and big, and the combat power was strong, where was the ordinary Qing army able to resist?

The scholar Guiliang suggested that he hold peace talks with the Russians again, but he was severely reprimanded by the scholar Woren, what a thing, just after the start of the fight, we hurriedly sued for peace, and the face of the Celestial Empire was lost!

But what can we do without making peace?

Monarchs and ministers are at a loss.

Suddenly, Xianfeng sounded Guo Ye who was training troops in Baoding, Guo Ye personally told him that if the Russians dared to come, then they would invite a division and go to Heilongjiang to fight to the death with the Russians, and never let the Russians' conspiracy succeed! At that time, Guo Ye was full of spirit and confidence!

Xianfeng grabbed the life-saving straw, yes, Guo Ye, Guo Ye, the chief soldier of Baoding Town, at this time, it is time for him to sacrifice this deadly magic weapon!

Xianfeng hasn't spoken yet, Yi? He had already stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if you want to fight against Tsarist Russia, it must be Guo Ye, the chief soldier of Baoding Town, and the others are just afraid that they have more than enough heart and not enough strength, but they are just ......."

Xianfeng hurriedly asked: "King Gong, if you have anything to say, you can just say it, just what?" ”

King Gong replied: "Your Majesty, when Guo Ye first arrived in Baoding Town, it was only a month, what is the combat strength of Baoding Town, none of our monarchs and ministers have a bottom, even if Guo Ye is powerful, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, but I am afraid that it will not help, and the minister heard that Tsarist Russia still has a tendency to continue to increase troops in Jiangdong......"

Xianfeng can't control so much now, and shouted: "Immediately pass the decree and order Guo Ye to enter Beijing immediately to discuss state affairs, but he patted his chest and promised me that Tsarist Russia would not send troops to Jiangdong, even if it really sent troops to Jiangdong, he was sure to repel it!" ”

As soon as Xianfeng's words fell, a eunuch hurriedly walked in and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Heilongjiang General Yishan 700 miles plus urgent battle report!" ”

Xianfeng was shocked, a battle report just came, why is it another one?

Xianfeng hurriedly took the fold, and there were only a few words on the fold: Mushavyov, the governor of Eastern Siberia, led thousands of troops to attack Vladivostok, advance by land and sea, and capture Vladivostok, and the entire east of the Yangtze River was nearly a thousand miles in circumference, and entered the hands of Tsarist Russia!

Xianfeng was stunned like a wooden chicken at that time, and all the land within a radius of nearly a thousand miles was lost!

"Immediately pass the decree, expedite seven hundred miles, and summon Guo Ye monk Greenqin to enter Beijing urgently!"

Xianfeng roared hysterically.
