As the chief border negotiator of the Tsarist government, Chelakov had to enter the temple on time.
Under the leadership of Liu Mingyuan, they walked to the Chelakov and Nevelskoy and their entourage, which was located in the south of the town, and witnessed the Nevelskoyka Cathedral, which had become a ruin, and also tasted the smell of gunpowder that had not completely dissipated.
"I protest that you have so brutally destroyed the Cathedral of Nevelskoyka, turning hundreds of innocent old people, women and children into souls, is it for the sake of peace? This is simply the behavior of a beast! ”
As soon as the representatives of both sides had finished announcing their names to each other, Nevelskoy jumped out in a hurry.
"How do you know that there are hundreds of old people, women and children in the church?" Tan Shaoguang blinked his eyes and looked at Nevelskoy, who was blushing and thick-necked, with a red face.
"I am the commander of the city defense of Nikolaevsk, of course I know, I ......" Nevelskoy almost slipped out of his mouth in a hurry.
"But we know that the situation is different," Tan Shaoguang skimmed Nevelskoy, and then looked at Liu Mingyuan, who was standing straight at the door, "According to my subordinates, they have repeatedly informed the people in the church that all the people in the church who are not enemies of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Red Army, including the armed personnel who have laid down their arms, can evacuate the church safely, so as not to hinder the upcoming friendly meeting between the two countries." But none of the answers we have received have been no. Not only that, but the people inside also repeatedly shouted that everyone in the church. They are all the most loyal subjects of Tsarist Russia, who do not share the same heaven and earth with the government of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, as long as we do not leave for a day. They're going to fight. Brigade Commander Liu, is this the case? ”
"Yes!" Liu Mingyuan looked solemn and straightened his chest. He answered without hesitation and cleanly.
Tan Shaoguang nodded, squinted his eyes at Nevelskoy, and pointed to Eugene, who had already begun to take on the task of interpreting the talks, "Interpreter Eugene was the person in charge of the dialogue with the church personnel at that time, and he had a more direct understanding of the situation at that time than you and me. It also has more say. ”
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief Tan said very well," Eugene nodded solemnly, "from our observations at the scene, as well as from conversations with church personnel, it is certain that there are absolutely no armed people in the church. ”
"This is pure scoundrel quibble!" Nevelskoy waved his raised arm fiercely, and his vicious dog-like gaze stared at Tan Shaoguang. "The liaison officer I sent told me that he had warned your front-line commander very clearly about this."
"You also said that as long as your soldiers stand on the ground. It's the territory of your Tsarist Russia. Do we also have to believe? Apparently not. Because it has been proven. That's not true. So. We focus on facts. ”
"The facts? The fact is that you have killed hundreds of innocent civilians. Nevelskoy roared almost frantically.
"Civilians?" Tan Shaoguang's white face suddenly whirled. "Then I'll ask you. Muskets in broad daylight. And openly and wantonly shot and killed the soldiers and people of our Celestial Empire. Can it be called a civilian? ”
"You want to seize the land and the wealth of the people here for no reason. It is inevitable that some people will have resentment. Chelakov looked at Nevelskoy. Quickly took over the conversation. "After all, everyone cherishes their homeland very much. But even so. Nor can it be that you have committed such a brutal act by Chelakov with a disdainful smile. "Jokes. Do you really think that the church was blown up by us? I ask Your Excellency. Is there really any explosives in the world right now? Can such a solid cathedral be blown into a pile of rubble just by piling it up outside? ”
Chelakov's eyes widened. Begin to stammer. From the heart. He had never seen or heard of explosives that could be so powerful. And if he does it in the ways that he is familiar with, he will achieve the present goal. How many barrels of gunpowder would have to be used? If you put the Nikolaevsk powder magazine. The whole thing was moved to the ground of the Nevelskoika Cathedral. Come to think of it. Chelakov couldn't help but subconsciously glance at Nevelskoy. A large amount of gunpowder was stored in the church. Could it be ......
"According to our on-site investigation and all aspects of understanding. The reason why the church was completely destroyed. It's not about our soldiers at all. And it was precisely because of the large amount of gunpowder that was hoarded in the church. ”
Tan Shaoguang said, glancing at Nevelskoy, who was still full of anger, "The thugs in the church have been partying all night to kill and wound many of our Red Army soldiers, but unfortunately, the powder magazine in the church was accidentally ignited and a big explosion occurred. This explosion happened to detonate at the same time the explosives that our soldiers had just planted outside in order to seize the church. The rioters took the blame for themselves, but they also caused many of our Red Army brothers, who were responsible for planting explosives, to be killed or wounded because they did not have time to evacuate. ”
"So, if there are really a large number of innocent people in the church according to you," Tan Shaoguang stared at Nevelskoy with disdain, "then you are the only culprit in this tragedy." I don't want to say that the thugs here were arranged by you, but without your connivance, how could so many weapons and gunpowder enter the church? ”
"According to the agreement, Miaotun must peacefully hand over our Celestial Empire troops," Tan Shaoguang turned his head again and looked at Chelakov, "but you didn't quite do that. ”
"In my opinion, you are simply deliberately trying to cause us trouble and sabotage the negotiations!"
At this time, Yi Xin, who was sitting next to Chen Yucheng, suddenly glared angrily.
As a negotiator on the side of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Yixin had only hurried to Tering from Kulen a few days earlier to meet Chen Yucheng.
When he was in Beijing, he asked Lin Haifeng to persuade the Mongolian kings to accept the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's regime, and accompanied the monk Lingqin to almost a whole circle on the Mongolian steppe.
The large and small tribes of Korqin, Karaqin, Aohan, Bahrain, Tumut, Naiman, Wengniut, Bayout, Wengjit, Zalut, Dulbert, Golros, Alu Korqin, Chahar, Sizi, Haozit, Uzhumuqin, Sunit, Abagai and Ordos, all of which have been inextricably linked with the Manchu nobility through the national policy of marriage adopted by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Now, with the statements of Seng Lingqin, Saishan'a and others, and the promise of the Celestial Empire government not to touch the private rights and interests of the princes and nobles for the time being, coupled with the personal door-to-door or letter persuasion of Yixin and the "sons and daughters", the entire Monan quickly accepted the agreement of the Celestial Empire's Red Army to peacefully enter the Monan area.
When they arrived in Mobei Mongolia, Yixin and others still took the medicine according to the prescription, and they first persuaded Sainnuoyan to do so.
As one of the four major tribes of Mobei Mongolia, the marriage between the Sain Noyan tribe and the Manchu royal family began in the Kangxi period and has continued to this day, not to mention that the status of the person who married him is also high.
At present, the ancestors of the Sainnoyan tribe Prince Dalma Tseling and Gonggara Rabutan brothers joined the Qing court with their grandmothers since childhood, and were not only raised by the royal family, but also married royal daughters when they grew up. Ce Ling married Kangxi's biological daughter, Princess Chunyu, and after returning to her hometown, because of her military exploits, she was promoted to the prince during the Yongzheng period, and was named the Great Zasak, becoming the actual leader of the Sain Noyan Department.
Subsequently, his grandson Lawang Dorji attacked the prince during the Qianlong period, and married Qianlong's seventh daughter Princess Hejing, becoming the "Seven Foreheads". Since Rawang Dorji, this royal family of in-laws has lived in the capital, and at the same time married each other with the Manchu aristocratic family, which is the powerful family of Xuanhe today. The grandson of Ravandorji, Che Deng Ba Er, married the daughter of Bel Yi, and the son of Che Deng Ba Er, who inherited the ancestral title, his son Prince Dalma, was precisely the uncle of Prince Yi Zaiyuan. With this relationship between Zaiyuan, and seeing the powerful power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government and army in the capital, as well as Prince Dalma, who had several close contacts and friendly conversations with Lin Haifeng, it was natural that he would follow Yixin and Monk Greenqin and others to return to their hometown after a long absence, and personally contribute to the great cause of the unification of the Celestial Empire.
Under the coordination of Yixin, Dalma and Shi Xiangzhen worked closely together, and after several patient persuasions and education of the nobles of the tribe, and under the deterrence of the force that cleanly punished a few people who tried to make trouble, the Sainnoyan tribe returned to the Celestial Empire.
The eastern neighbor of the Sainnoyan tribe was the Tushetu Khan tribe, which was compressed south by Tsarist Russia from the shore of Lake Baikal (Lake Baikal) and completely lost that rich land in the "Treaty of Nebuchu" of Kangxi.
When Shi Xiangzhen, the plenipotentiary representative of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Mongolia, hoped that the ministry would accept the control of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government as soon as possible, so that the Red Army of the Celestial Empire could send troops as soon as possible to recover the land that had been lost for more than 100 years, the whole Tushetu Khan was immediately excited. Because over the years, they have been bullied and plundered by the Russian bandits.
As the spearhead of Tsarist Russia's aggressive expansion in the Far East, Muravyov was indeed a very shrewd man, although he was eventually defeated by China. As early as when he persuaded Alexander II to send troops to China, Muravyov in his report to the Tsar, in addition to inciting Alexander II to actively send troops to China, resolutely curbing the Taiping rebels to continue to develop northward, in order to win more benefits from the stormy Manchu Dynasty, he also proposed another possibility, that is, "in case the situation on the battlefield develops to the point of irreversibility, the troops stationed in China will withdraw north in due course." Once Beijing was captured by the Taipings, the Manchu dynasty was bound to collapse. At this time, with our backing, Manchuria-Mongolia will secede from China, and if such an outcome can be achieved, of course, it will be in the best interest of Russia.
