Chapter 381 When another letter from the Northwest Military Administration was delivered to Kaufman, General Kaufman didn't want to get excited

It is said that when Liu Changlin met the dejected General Korpakovsky outside the city of Kapal, the anger of the previous night still did not dissipate, and without saying a word, he slipped Kolpakovsky to a place where he "carried the man", and slapped Kolpakovsky more than 10 big mouths left and right.

However, Wei Yide was still courteous to this general, who took the initiative to disarm and surrender anyway. Wei Yide not only talked with Korpakovsky very kindly for a long time, but also held a rather sumptuous send-off banquet before escorting Korpakovsky to Ili.

When he arrived in Huiyuan City in Yili, Kolpakovsky was very honored to be received by Lin Fengxiang several times.

During these meetings, in addition to talking with Korpakovsky about many political and military affairs in Tsarist Russia, Lin Fengxiang also warmly encouraged Korpakovsky to reform himself in the next days in the prisoner of war camp, thoroughly change his mind, and strive to gain the understanding of the people of the Celestial Empire at an early date.

Moreover, under the personal care of Lin Fengxiang, the prisoner of war camp also gave Kolpakovsky special care in all aspects. Not only does he live alone in a neat single cell, but he also gets to enjoy the food from his hometown stove that his former personal chef has specially prepared for him.

But when the Korpakovs general entered such a comfortable prisoner of war camp for more than twenty days, he actually died.

According to the official version given by the prisoner of war camp, Kolpakovsky committed suicide by hunger strike because he felt very, very ashamed of his Tsar, and this statement was also confirmed in writing by Kolpakovsky's personal cook, as well as by his former adjutant, who had frequent contact with Kolpakovsky during his last days.

Of course, there is also an extremely irresponsible, even more unfounded, ulterior speculation about Kolpakovsky's death, that is, some people have speculated that Kolpakovsky's death was not actually a conscious and voluntary hunger strike, but was deliberately starved to death by others.

But whether it was Korpakovsky's surrender at Fort Kapal without a fight, or his later death, in short, the Konstantin who was at ease in Fort Verne, in Gurban's Alimatu? Petrovich? General Kaufman, from beginning to end, will not be clear.

On June 30, not only had the Celestial Red Army wiped out his northern group, but even some of the Celestial Red Army units on the Tarbagatai side had penetrated dozens of miles into their Tsarist Russia, but even so, General Kaufmann was still in a very happy mood in Vilneburg, and his life was very full and colorful.

First, of course, because General Kaufman had no knowledge of this qiē to the north; Secondly, it was the beautiful prospect of peace that seemed to have "first seen the beginning" that confused his eyes.

As early as June 20, Kaufman received an unprecedented letter from the Northwest Military and Political Office of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Huiyuan City. This letter is not only the black and white letter that Kaufman has received since he dealt with the Northwest Military and Political Office of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, but more importantly, this letter also changed the Yin and Yang weird style of pretending to be deaf and dumb on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's peace talks, and really touched on the "peace" that he had been looking forward to.

On June 26, when another letter from the Northwest Military Administration was delivered to Kaufman, General Kaufman was even more agitated.

This letter clearly informed him that the heavyweight negotiator sent by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who held the title of deputy director of the Northwest Military Administration, would arrive in Vilneburg on time on June 30, in accordance with the schedule previously agreed upon by both sides.

In the southern part of Kokand, the armed forces organized by the British behind the scenes had not only begun to fight the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom armies in full swing, but also achieved good results.

According to the report of the British, the "Hongfu Army" inflicted heavy losses on the Taiping ** team that tried to continue the westward invasion in the Alban area, and after ruthlessly extinguishing the arrogance of the Taiping ** team, it then launched a powerful operation to recover Esi, and the Taiping Tian ** team that confronted the "Hongfu Army" was already at an obvious disadvantage.

Of course, Kaufman understood that the reason why the British would give him such a timely briefing was nothing more than to ask him to hurry up and fight the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and force the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to take care of one thing and lose the other, so that the "Hongfu Army" under the leadership of the British could do more in the future.

In this regard, Kaufman already has some reliable information.

For example, at this time, General Zou Guojian, who was still in the area south of Tusi Pond, who was "extremely unprofessional", was already obviously panicked. Not only did he begin to move his army from Koshgar, which had been extremely close to his side, to the Narin, which was in the land of fire. Moreover, his army, which was already ready to lose its guns, also began to move frequently, etc.

What the British said was true, and their actions had brought a great crisis to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Although Kaufman would never have risked such foolishness as General Lambert had hoped, he was still happy to sit and share in the great pleasure of that succession of friendly victories.

The reason is very simple, the more the British make trouble, the more trouble they cause to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the safer they are here, and the easier it is for his Tsar's will to make peace realize.

The facts soon showed that Kaufman was right this time, and under the harsh persecution, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had to open the door to peace talks to him.

As the evening of June 30 approached, Kaufmann, who was looking forward to it, finally received the news that the heavyweight negotiator of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had arrived at the outpost he had set up twenty miles north of Villeburg.

According to Kaufman's own plan, in order to show great importance to this peace talks, and even more so to give great psychological comfort to the Chinese who love face and scenery, Kaufman personally went to the outpost reception station in the suburbs to make a long welcome.

And at this hour, Kaufman feels even more compelled. He had to set up a rather sumptuous dinner party for the other party there, and then, in order not to make the other party too tired, he would accompany the other party to stay at the reception station for a while, so as to have a good exchange and lay a good foundation for things after tomorrow.
