"Hehe, Deputy Director Yi, don't worry," Chen Yucheng and Tan Shaoguang smiled at each other, and then let Yi Xin on the wooden chair.
"Deputy Director Yi, since you have only arrived here from Mobei, there are some situations that you haven't had time to introduce to you in detail...... Tan Shaoguang said to Yixin with a smile, "Actually, as early as when we were in Beijing, we expected that those Tsarist ghosts would have such a hand." These guys can take someone else's, but if you want them to return it honestly, it's worse than pulling out his ribs. Don't frighten them, they will never admit defeat. â
"That's why I said, we should ......."
"It's still hard to fight," Tan Shaoguang looked at Yixin who was puzzled, "Let's talk about ourselves behind closed doors now, in just a few months, we have gone far enough." But looking back at our back, there are still many things that require us to have more time to sort out. If we go further north, the burden on our backs will be too great. Therefore, we still have to follow the principle set by Director Lin, we must fight for every inch of land, and some problems may as well be discussed in the long run. â
Yixin still couldn't turn this corner, and when he heard Tan Shaoguang say this, he shook his head gently, "Alas...... For more than 100 years, the vast area east of the Lena River and north of the Udi River has long been devoid of our people, and the longer it drags on, the more difficult it will be to get it back. Could it be that the younger generations who can solve the things in this life will continue to cook? â
"How could it be," Chen Yucheng smiled, "Director Lin has long said that we people must not leave any tails for our juniors, and everything that can be solved must be solved in the hands of our people, and it must be solved cleanly and thoroughly." â
Tan Shaoguang also smiled. "Deputy Director Yi, don't worry, didn't I tell you just now, you are waiting steadfastly, within ten days, those Tsarist ghosts will definitely come to the door crying and shouting, begging us to resume talks."
"Will that happen?" Yixin seemed to be a little unconvinced.
"Of course it will be like this, go to the army to fight, then to fight, then to fight, then to fight, and finally to attack the city...... But now. Let's make a look that we don't care about peace talks at all," Chen Yucheng said, slightly closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then looked at Yixin with a smile, "Well, today is the twelfth of April in our calendar, hehe, Heilongjiang has also begun to melt and snow, and the earth is full of vitality." It's a good time for the Legion to fight. Our opponent Chelakov is an orthodox soldier, and he won't be unaware of the mysteries. â
On the second day of Chen Yucheng, Tan Shaoguang and Yixin's joke and conversation, the "siege of the city" of the Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began again. However, the target of this operation was not inland, but directly to Sakhalin.
Sakhalin, the largest island in China. It is located at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, facing the mainland across the Tatar Strait to the west and Ezo across the Soya Strait to the south. It is 948 kilometers long from north to south. It is about 160 kilometers wide and has a total area of 76,400 square kilometers.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was called Kuyi Island. In the Ainu language, which lives on the island. She is "the island of God in the estuary of the creation zĂ o".
Sakhalin was the cave department in the Tang Dynasty. It is under the jurisdiction of the Tang Heishui Governor's Office; Metal Huli diversion. "The Jurchens of the Sea"; The yuan is called the bone wei. It belongs to Shuida Road; After the island was recovered in the Ming Dynasty. It is under the jurisdiction of the command of the envoy of the Ming Nuer Gandu. And set up on the island the Polo River, Nanghar and Ullie River three guards.
At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. Sakhalin was administered by the Manchu Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing (Governor). Later, he was subordinate to the deputy capital of the three surnames.
Back in the early XVIII century. Greedily, Tsarist Russia set its sights on this beautiful island that would allow them to intervene in the affairs of the Pacific. Take advantage of the fact that the "Qing Dynasty" is too lazy to manage this distant "bitter cold" island. An expeditionary force of soldiers and prisoners was dispatched. Landed on Sakhalin.
In the northern part of Sakhalin. Brutally slaughtered the island's inhabitants of Hezhe, China, where they had lived for generations. and built the camps. Mining of coal mines. The foundation for the encroachment of the whole island was established. By 17 years. Finally occupy all of the reservoir island. Sakhalin spared the death of the Hezhes. All were forced back to the mainland. The Russian bandits, on the other hand, openly built government halls, churches, prisons, and schools in the Mother and Son's Place.
Just as the Russians invaded the reservoir island, they were willing to show weakness. A large influx poured into the southern part of Sakhalin. Thereupon. Sakhalin Island under the rule of the "Qing Dynasty". In broad daylight, it turned out to be a place where Tsarist Russia and Japanese bandits could openly share the fat of the land between the north and the south.
It is possible to express a strong "Great Qing Dynasty" of "not rubbing sand in the eyes" of Taiwan, where the Zheng family is entrenched, but it is like turning a blind eye to Sakhalin Island, which is being ravaged by Russian bandits and twice the size of the island of Taiwan. In the "Aihui Treaty" of Yishan, the "Qing Dynasty" completely dedicated the Chinese Dikhalin Island to Tsarist Russia.
In the central part of Sakhalin, the port town of Aleksandrovsk (Iraq), which borders the Tatar Strait to the west, is another anchorage of Nevelskoy's Heilongjiang fleet, which has completely withdrawn from Chinese mainland. Because in order to cope with the crisis in Nikolaevsk, most of the main force of his fleet was concentrated at the northern end, and all eyes were initially focused on the expansion of the Chinese region, so here in Aleksandrovsk, only three patrol gunboats of the Heilongjiang fleet remained, and the defense force was even smaller.
Night had just shrouded the turquoise sea, and the waves glowed silver in the bright moonlight. At this moment, a sea formation suddenly broke through the night and gradually headed towards the port of Aleksandrovsk.
In the harbor, three Russian gunboats had already anchored and were swaying with the waves. Except for a few who remained on the ship, the others had already left the ship and disembarked. The sentries on duty at the improvised battery in the harbor had apparently spotted the fleet approaching in the night, but they did not show any surprise. Because, the sharp-eyed sentry had already seen through the telescope the name of the ship clearly marked on the lead ship, which was clearly a warship that belonged to the imperial Heilongjiang fleet like them.
These guys, what are they doing here in the middle of the night? Perhaps Nikolaevsk is too close to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's army, so it might as well be quieter here. A few of the sentinels began to giggle and speculate to dispel the boredom of the value.
"Oh, that's not right......" Suddenly, a sentinel, who looked like he was getting older, felt that something was wrong. He snatched the telescope from his companion's hand. Closer and closer to the flotilla again, "Dada...... Blackfish ...... This...... It seems that these are all battleships stationed in Vladivostok in the first place......"
He put down his binoculars and looked at the few companions around him at a loss, his brows furrowed for a long time, and then he suddenly trembled as if he had been stung by a scorpion, and shouted like crazy, "It's not good, blow the alarm quickly, this is not our warship......"
However, the alarms that rose bitterly. It was immediately drowned out by the deafening sound of artillery.
The sea formation, which quickly approached the port, simply ignored the three small gunboats moored, and immediately lined up several warships outside the harbor, directly smashing the sharp artillery fire on the towering fort like hail, and the artillery fire reflected the sea red. The transport ships that followed quickly rushed into the harbor at this time.
"For the sake of the Celestial Empire, forward!" Liu Xihe led the Red Marine Brigade, which had once shown its skills in Tianjin, in an unstoppable momentum amid a loud charge horn and a cry of earth-shattering ghosts and gods. The tide poured up on the shore and pounced on the forts. The bright red flag of the Celestial Empire, hunting and fluttering on the so-called Aleksandrovsk battery in Tsarist Russia......
Sure enough, as Chen Yucheng and Tan Shaoguang said, the request for the resumption of the meeting came in a hurry from the Burli side.
Chelakov once again received an urgent edict from Alexander II, and China had tossed enough in its north and northeast to make his Tsar's Majesty sleep, but the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government simply ignored it, and just because of some trivial matters, it got into trouble with the empire in its northwest, and armed conflicts occurred from time to time. However, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom seemed to be unable to get enough of it, and began to build up troops on its northwestern border again......
Meanwhile. Chelakov also got a company that was not only infallible, but also made him, but also because he relied on his own Heilongjiang fleet. Nevelskoy, who had been bullish, was stunned by the news. While they were devoting all their energies to dealing with the big mess under their noses, the Red Navy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom sent troops to seize the port of Aleksandrovsk on Sakhalin. And after thousands of elite Taiping Marines succeeded in Aleksandrovsk, Sakhalin Island was quickly divided into two.
Although there were three warships stationed in Aleksandrovsk, in the Heilongjiang fleet, which Nevelskoy called consisted of dozens of warships of various types. But it's a fraction. However, this fraction is lost in an instant. But Nevelskoy no longer dared to beat his chest and scream arrogantly, as he did a few days ago.
In fact, the reason why Nevelskoy was empty-eyed was at the beginning. One of his Heilongjiang fleets can completely cut off all the supply lines of the Red Army that marches north into the Celestial Empire, and that is not because he despises the Celestial Empire and the Red Navy. The huge naval fleet of the Imperial Dispatch Force in China under General Muravyov. The terrible defeat that had been encountered in the waters of China's hinterland for two years had finally disappeared completely, and Nevelskoy had been poured into his ears even if he did not want to hear it anymore. Therefore, from the beginning of the resentment, even looking forward to the time when he would also join in the vigorous naval battle in the south to show his skills, the glorious Nevelskoy, in the end, did not even dare to stay there for a night when he even went to Vladivostok, which had been transferred to his jurisdiction.
Of course, sitting in Nikolaevsk is different, it is thousands of miles south of China, and the Taiping Navy, which dominates there, is quite far away from him. As a result, a special mentality of having no tigers in the mountains and monkeys being the overlords inevitably arises spontaneously. But now, when the eight sides are majestic in front of him, Nevelskoy is only timid.
At this time, Chelakov completely solved the difficulties of His Majesty Tsar Alexander II. His Majesty's greatest fear was that the Taiping Celestial Army would launch a full-scale attack on the empire, and as a result, the empire would not only lose more land gained by the expansion of the empire for more than a hundred years, but also under the blows of the Chinese, who have always had a strong revenge mentality, the empire is likely to lose more of its homeland.
At present, the navy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has also moved north, and Chelakov has to worry, fearing that if the situation of this rare peace negotiation is not well controlled, a full-scale war that His Majesty the Tsar does not want to see will inevitably be inevitable.
