Like Chelakov, Alexander II coveted the fertile black soil, but he really didn't want another large-scale bloody battle.

Although he also somewhat agreed with Chelakov's view, the 100,000 tsarist army was destroyed in the Chinese mainland, not because the tsarist soldiers were incompetent, but because they were far from the motherland, not only did they not get the motherland's care, but they also risked being betrayed by the Qing allies at any time. At present, it is different, if the war is started in Eastern Siberia, there are brave and warlike tsarist soldiers in front of them, and there is a strong motherland behind them, even if the army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is brave, but in this bitter cold land, their adaptability will be difficult to defeat the tsarist soldiers in the first place, and the combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced.

However, in the final analysis, Chelakov only looked at the problem from a small part, and Alexander II, who was the coordinator of the game of chess in Tsarist Russia, would not look at the problem of Eastern Siberia so simply. The Russian-Turkish war not only almost exhausted the elite of the entire ** team, but also cost him tens of thousands of huge fortunes, and he was on the verge of bankruptcy. Not to mention whether the French, because of the close ties of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, would turn back and make trouble for him again in the Near East, even if the war that broke out in Eastern Siberia lasted for a long time, he could not bear it at all.

Therefore, a major war must be avoided and must not be dragged into the abyss of war again, at least not for now. After suffering from the wounds of the Russo-Turkish War, Alexander II decided that he should first try his courage, clamp his tail and try to avoid the excessive swagger of the outside world as before, and concentrate on the reform of serfdom that constrained him in the great cause of Russian revival at home. Of course, not fighting a big war does not mean not fighting a war. Alexander II understood too well that without proper force, his eastern Siberia would disappear in a few days.

So, he fulfilled the requirements of the part of Chelakov. That is, the fiscal revenues of Eastern Siberia can be temporarily excluded from the state treasury, and at the same time something can be squeezed out of the teeth and left to Chelakov's own disposal. The foreign strategy adopted by Eastern Siberia did not affect his overall grand strategy, but it was also taken by Chelakov cheaply.

Chelakov lived up to the trust of Alexander II in less than half a year. He used his land sales and the generous donation of land money from his "loyal partner" Yishan to recruit a large number of troops, especially greatly expanding the naval fleet under the command of Colonel Nevelskoy. With the help of Guò Yishan, at the end of last year, a naval formation under the command of Nevelskoy entered Vladivostok under the pretext of being stationed.

On land, in addition to stepping up his deployment and constructing fortresses such as Yaksa, Duochen, Niuman, Xuergu, Boli, Temple Street, and Prolonne on Sakhalin Island, Chelakov also reached another secret agreement with Yishan and others. The agreement clearly stipulates: Once the Qing Dynasty completely lost its position in the Guannei, in order to ensure that the Qing Dynasty could have a final foothold, strategic points such as Hulun Buyuer, Qiqihar, Yilan, Ningguta and the three surnames. At that time, all of them were handed over to the tsarist army to manage on their behalf, and the Qing army was also responsible for assisting in the defense and jointly dealing with the Taiping Red Bandits.

However, during this period, Chelakov made several misjudgments. He underestimated the energy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, underestimated the speed of the Celestial Empire's Red Army, but overestimated the willpower of the Qing Dynasty. According to his estimates, in the face of the large-scale attack of the Taiping Heavenly Army, the Qing Dynasty could not support it for long. At least in the end, it would be wise to choose to retreat outside the customs. The exhausted Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government army after the war had to have sufficient time to rest and recuperate, and also to complete the material preparations for the battle, which could not be done in a few months.

Therefore, Chelakov believes that his "hot honeymoon" with Yishan and others can live steadily for a while. It's a pity that their tacit understanding of the "good days" followed the rumbling footsteps of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire entering the customs. But it's coming to an end soon.

At noon on Chinese New Year's Eve in 1857, the Forbidden City issued an edict on "maintaining the treasury and waiting for the Taiping Red Army to take over" and arrived at the Heilongjiang General's Mansion on several fast horses. Knowing that the Qing Dynasty court under the control of Wang Yixin, Zaiyuan, Duanhua and others actually completely surrendered to the Taiping Red Bandits, such as Yishan who was mourning Kaoyan, he first felt dizzy, and then beat his chest and feet, and cried.

The Qing Dynasty, which had been in turmoil for more than 200 years, was gone, and the ancestors had gone through a lot of hardships to get their hands on a large piece of the flower world. Just like that, it was handed back to the dirtiest and most despicable Han people. Yishan was really heartbroken. In the lobby of the general's mansion, Yishan cried so much that he fainted several times. It is said that the last thing that flowed from the eye frame was not tears, but red blood, which moved the staff and guards around him. This is the pillar of our Qing Dynasty!

After waking up, Di Yishan knew. Now he is completely homeless. The so-called land "maintains the treasury." Wait on the spot for the Taiping Red Army to take over." For him. It's pure nonsense. He carefully interrogated the people who had come to the place where the decree was issued. I heard that a small number of forward troops from the Taiping Red Bandit Land had just arrived in Shengjing at this time. His center of earth was slightly wider. Take over. Take over a bird!

Yishan then secretly ordered the guards to pull the messengers to the backyard. One by one, they took off their heads. Then continue the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in General Zhangluo's mansion. For him. This was his last Chinese New Year's Eve banquet as a Daqing people. Starting tomorrow. He's going to be shipwrecked. In the words that Chelakov had promised him. Even if there is no Qing Dynasty in the future. He Yishan can also have a vast world that belongs to him. Because like him, "the most faithful friend of the tsar." Tsarist Russia was always and always welcoming to the other.

Several large tables were set up in the general's palace for the last feast. It is not the last time that Yishan will be the land of the Qing Dynasty. It was the last reunion wine in his life. Unfortunately yes. He hadn't had time to take a sip of the wine yet. And he came out as if he were from the ground. Or the Red Army soldiers who fell from the sky and poured into the yamen. Like a chicken, he pulled up to the head of Aihui City. On the side of the high flagpole hanging the red flag of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom where the hula is hoisted in the wind. Hung on a wooden pole on the other floor. The city gate is on the wall of the hole. A large proclamation was then posted. on the notice. It was Chen Yucheng who collected all the charges all the way to Diyi Mountain. This is the traitor!

When the sun is the next day. As usual, it used its light to illuminate the snow-covered river surface of Heilongjiang. When Aihui City was covered with a layer of golden ground. The Russian soldiers on the other side of the river suddenly found out. Aihui seems to have changed.

It is facing the head of Aihui City in the north. A red flag with Venus on it fluttered high. Yes. Aihui has changed. It's back to "terrible". But. For the Tsars. This is something they need to grasp slowly.

It was early in the morning. Succeeded Muravyov as General of the Governor of Eastern Siberia, General Chilakov. He received a note signed by Di Chen Yucheng and Tan Shaoguang, director of the Northeast Military and Political Office of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and commander of the Northeast Military Region, deputy director of the Northeast Military and Political Office and deputy commander of the Northeast Military Region.

The note solemnly declares that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, as the sole legitimate government of China, has always refused to recognize the unequal treaties signed between the Manchu colonists and any country that betrayed China's interests, and in accordance with the order issued by the Supreme Revolutionary Command Committee of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Government, all foreign armed forces and ships shall not move freely on Chinese land and territorial waters without the permission of the Celestial Government, and those who violate them shall be immediately exterminated. At the same time, the note asked General Chelakov to cross the river and discuss the specific transfer of the vast Celestial Empire area north of the Heilongjiang River......

General Chelakov was gloomy, and he also felt that he had really gone home. How can this be? What he especially couldn't understand was that he had heard Yishan say more than once that most of the troops of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government were Chinese southern barbarians who liked to wear small coats the most and might not know what ice and snow were all their lives, but what happened now, could it be that they were really wearing shirtless coats, so they ran impatiently to this snowy place?

Of course, Chelakov did not guess that the Qing court did not have the willpower he imagined, but directly succumbed to the Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. From that moment on, the Red Army athletes, who were good at enduring great hardships and enduring great labor, with the cooperation of Zaiyuan and other former Qing officials, used the last holy decree issued by the Manchu court to knock on the doors of every city outside the city one by one. Not only that, but even the remnants of Muravyov's fleet, which was still stationed at Arthur Pass, were also surrounded by both land and sea, and after receiving letters of persuasion from Muravyov, Ignatiev and others, they obediently surrendered to the Red Army troops led by Chen Tingxiang.

Chelakov, a professional soldier, was not so obedient, and in his opinion, if he went to Aihui on the other side of the bank according to the note of the other party, it would be tantamount to announcing the Tsar's renunciation of the land under his feet. This is not only a great insult to His Majesty the Tsar, but also something he cannot tolerate. Who in this world does not know that as soon as the Tsar's banner is raised, there is never a time for him to pull it down again.

In the afternoon, however, he changed his mind again. The reason is that several of his sleepy soldiers, who were probably overexcited in receiving the "holiday condolences" from the Qing government on the other side of the river last night, did not get up until three o'clock in the morning, and ran to Aihui along the frozen river. But the next time they didn't reach the shore, they were met with a burst of heavy gunfire, and several soldiers did not survive.

The behavior on the other side obviously stimulated the Tsarist soldiers who had always been the boss and they were the second. The officers and men of the squad to which the deceased soldier belonged were filled with righteous indignation, and simply pulled two cannons and rushed up the river again.

And this time, the furious Russian soldiers suffered an even greater blow, not only a sharp and whistling rain of bullets, but also shells in the city, so that the cannons dragged by the Russian soldiers were blown up before they could be bent within the effective firing range.
