The generals in the army were silent, and Muravyov also bowed his head, with a deep sadness in his eyes.

This battle was defeated, and no one could get better.

After a long time, Muravyov's voice deepened, and he said in a deep voice: "In this battle, a large number of soldiers died, and the generals of the army also suffered heavy losses. When the army retreated, Tchaifokov was shot and killed, and the commanders of the 1st and 2nd regiments under the 1st Brigade were killed, in addition to many other generals. ”

Konysky quickly walked in, came to Muravyov's ear, and whispered: "Your Excellency the Governor, I just received specific news that the 10,000 soldiers led by General Medyev were killed in an avalanche and all the troops were wiped out, and not a single one was left. ”

When Muravyov heard this, his heart beat faster with an irrepressible throbbing.

Avalanche!

Annihilated!

Obviously, this was caused by the Qing army, so that Medev's army could be annihilated.

Muravyov's mind was hovering with the figures of Medev and Tchaifokov, and the more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, and the more his heart became depressed.

"Roar!!

Muravyov let out a low roar, suddenly his eyes widened, his body fell backwards, and he fainted.

This change frightened everyone in the camp.

As Muravyov's guard, Koniki held Muravyov in the fastest time, and then immediately rescued him, and it took a lot of effort for Muravyov to wake up. At this moment, Muravyov's face was full of exhaustion and looked extremely haggard. At this moment, the sharp edge was exposed, like a pine old man with a dying twilight aura.

Muravyov lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists, and muttered: "This battle is not your fault, it is the incompetence of my commander. You are all good, you are all good sons and daughters loyal to His Majesty the Tsar, and you have done your best. Only I didn't command the battle well that led to this defeat. This is my sin! ”

He sighed again and again, looking sad.

Muravyov's mood is somewhat unstable and is close to getting out of control.

Seeing this, Konisky immediately said: "Your Excellency, it is not your fault, but General Medev's failure to do a good job. You have arranged everything, as long as General Medyev drags Li Zhen's other army, we will win with certainty, and we will not be in the situation today. General Medyev underestimated the enemy to the point of annihilation of the entire army, which led to the defeat of the entire battle. It's not your fault! ”

Three regiments of the 1st Brigade Commander were killed and wounded, and he was now the commander of the bare-bones. He was also sad in his heart, but seeing Muravyov's condition, he opened his mouth to comfort him: "I agree with Koniski's words! It's not your responsibility, it's Medev's fault. ”

At the moment, Muravyov was an old man at all, not the governor of Eastern Siberia who commanded everything.

"I don't know anyone, it's my fault!"

Muravyov sighed lightly, but his mood gradually improved.

The people around them were relieved when they saw this. When such a thing happened, Muravyov took all the blame on himself, and even if they tried to persuade him, it was to no avail.

"Hahaha......"

In the tent, Muravyov's laughter suddenly sounded.

He burst out laughing, as if he had gone mad. Even, the surrounding generals had the idea that Muravyov was crazy. They saw Muravyov laughing so much that tears flowed from their eyes, and they could feel the sadness in Muravyov's heart.

After a long time, Muravyov stopped laughing.

Muravyov wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, cleaned up the expression on his face, and shouted: "Today's humiliation, you should remember it in your hearts. This time, we lost, but next time we will win, and we will avenge the dead soldiers. Hatred will not blind our eyes, but will make us more sober and allow us to remember the lessons of the day. The order went down, and the army set out tomorrow to return to the city of Burlei. Let's straighten out the soldiers and compete with Li Zhen again. ”

Although the wounds of the First World War made Muravyov sad for a short time, they failed to defeat Muravyov, but instead prompted him to fight infinitely and decided to defeat Li Zhen.

"Report!"

A loud voice sounded outside the tent.

"Come in!" Muravyov said.

The soldier walked in, saluted, and said, "Your Excellency, the Qing envoy has come to ask for a meeting." ”

Muravyov's eyebrows were raised, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and his expression was so gloomy that he was about to drip water. The surrounding generals were indignant and asked to kill the envoys of the Qing Kingdom, and the crowd was excited.

Seeing this, the soldier who reported the news had a slightly embarrassed expression, and explained: "Your Excellency Governor, I didn't make it clear just now, this Qing country is not Li Zhen's Qing country, it is the Qing country where Beijing Yi is located. This time, Heilongjiang General Yishan sent an envoy to discuss things with you, he is from the Qing Dynasty in Beida. ”

"Yishan?"

Muravyov thought for a while and said: "Is that Heilongjiang general Yishan, who is less courageous than a steel needle, has a greater color gall than a bear, behaves recklessly, and has no ability at all?" ”

The soldier nodded, wanting to laugh.

The dignified Heilongjiang general, a feudal official, to the mouth of Governor Muravyov, is so unbearable. In fact, Yishan's courage is indeed small, and when facing foreigners, he is as small as the eye of a needle. Yishan is the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, the great-great-grandson of Aixinjue Luoyin, the fourteenth son of Emperor Kangxi, and the nephew of Emperor Daoguang.

During the First Opium War, the British army attacked Guangzhou, Lin Zexu was dismissed, and Qi Shan, the minister of the Qincha and the governor of Liangguang at that time, compromised and fought after taking over, and was deposed by Emperor Daoguang. Yishan was then sent to Guangzhou to preside over the overall situation. It's just that after Yishan arrived in Guangzhou, he thought that the problem was not with the foreigners, but with the people in China. Yishan slandered the people of Guangzhou who resisted the British army as the source of cholera, hunted and killed them at will, and then asked the imperial court for merit. Moreover, after Yishan's gang arrived in Guangzhou, he blindly drank and had fun, only knew how to press on a woman's belly to do piston exercises, and never considered the war.

In May 1841, the British army laid siege to Guangzhou.

Yishan couldn't stop it at all, and surrendered directly to the British army and signed the "Peace of Guangzhou".

At that time, the people of Sanyuanli in Guangzhou launched a counterattack and besieged the British troops stationed in the Sifang Fort. However, Yishan's soft bones flare up again, and he wanted to curry favor with the British army, so he sent Yu Baochun, the prefect of Guangzhou, to take soldiers to relieve the siege of the British army and suppress the people who counterattacked the British army. The news reached the ears of Emperor Daoguang, and Emperor Daoguang was forced to dismiss Yishan and imprison him under the pressure of public opinion.

After Xianfeng took power, Yishan was transferred to Heilongjiang as a general. After Xianfeng died of illness and Yi unified the north, Yishan simply fell to Yi and stayed in Heilongjiang as the general of Heilongjiang. Although Muravyov didn't know the details of Yishan, he had contact with Yishan and had already seen Yishan through. Muravyov thought for a moment and said, "Bring someone in." ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers went to deliver the order and soon invited the envoys of Yishan to the camp tent.
