Chapter 11: The Stars

There were bloody corpses everywhere, and a few half-rotten horses were not yet dead, their flesh and blood were blurred and half-lying, and they let out a strange neigh, which made people shudder, and several soldiers bravely walked over and slashed at their heads with long knives, ending their pain.

The blood and water converged into a small black river, mixed with melting snow, and flowed into the distance.

The tragic battle finally ended with Ye Zhaoling blowing the horn and launching a white-bladed battle, the Rakshasa people were captured more than 300 people, and the rest were all killed, this battle of the bluestone forest, which was later written in the history of world wars, the duel between the Russians and the Chinese, the confrontation between classical tactics and modern tactics, ended with a complete victory for the Chinese.

Ye Zhao walked among these severed limbs and wreckage, without the slightest joy of victory in his heart, the cruel post-war scene that made the scalp hairy, Ye Zhao saw it for the first time. Ye Zhao also knew that maybe the Shilka River massacre was more cruel, but he fainted at that time, and this kind of hellish picture would be remembered for a lifetime.

In his previous life, he was a normal person, let alone killing people, the picture of killing small animals would cause him a strong disgust, at least, he felt that he had a strong sense of right and wrong and justice.

But in this life, can you still be considered a good person? The people around him, Da Chun and Ruisi, which one has never done anything lacking in morality? I turn a blind eye, saying that it sounds good is conniving, and it is not wrong to say that it is unpleasant to say that it is marked as aiding and abetting.

Just a few days ago, a fierce man who bullied the people and even killed people, but he could only be reduced to a military slave, perhaps so that the border people would not be retaliated against, or perhaps such a punishment was more unbearable than cutting off the stubborn head. But in the final analysis, why don't you think about the so-called overall situation? A compromise in order not to make enemies everywhere?

Is such a self really a good person?

In war, the murder of civilians is instructed, and there is not even a sense of guilt that is numb.

Ye Zhao thought blankly, yes, in this life, I am afraid that I will not be close to a good person, in troubled times, what should be the standard of a good person?

Ye Zhao didn't know that at this time, he suddenly missed the matchmaker very much, maybe only the matchmaker could say something convincing to comfort him.

"My lord, the leader of the Rakshasa ghosts, his death is so ugly!" Several soldiers gritted their teeth and moved a corpse to show Ye Zhao, a very young Rakshasa officer, it could be seen that he must have been handsome and charming before his death, but now there are a few more black and slimy blood holes on his body.

Ye Zhao shook his head and cheered up suddenly, how about a good person? What about the bad guys? Even if you have been infamous for thousands of years, your own path still has to go on step by step.

…… At the same time as the battle of the bluestone forest, more than 2,000 people captured Poseidon City.

In April 1855, Jing Xiang, the commander of the third battalion of the Red Banner Manchurian Vice-Governor of Manchuria and the Divine Artillery, led the new army of more than 5,000 people to break through several strongholds of the Rakshasa in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River.

In June 1855, Jing Xiang led the people outside the border to capture Nikolaevsk, the town of the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, which is known to the Chinese as Temple Street.

The news flew through the customs and outside the customs like wings, flying across the north and south of the river, Ye Zhao, this rising star, finally stepped onto the political stage of the late Qing Dynasty step by step, this year, he was just 21 years old.

…… Aihui City is all in charge of the study.

Ye Zhao was reading a few letters, and there was a letter written by Rong'er, instructing the Xianggong to pay attention to his body and pay attention to safety, and even sent a peace charm with the letter, saying that he was asking for it from the Xianggong in the Reclining Buddha Temple.

The prince's letter scolded the six princes again, saying that he heard that the emperor intended to make my son an auxiliary prince, but he was stirred up by the six princes.

Ye Zhaoben also felt strange, Lian Zhan Lianjie, although Xianfeng Imperial Decree really encouraged himself, and rewarded a thousand taels of gold and a few pieces of silk, but Lian Zhan Lianjie, he did not promote his official position Shang Ke can be said to be because he is young, but the title has not been promoted, but it is a little abnormal, after all, he is a yellow belt, the only son of Prince Zheng, and it is not unusual for him to be promoted to a third level in Lianzhan outside the Guan.

It's the sixth prince again, Ye Zhaoke is a little angry, if he used to use stumbling blocks openly and secretly before, he still doesn't care about him, but this time he suppressed himself too ruthlessly, it seems that if he really wants to make a difference, this sixth prince is a hurdle that needs to be overcome.

In addition to the family letter, there is also a letter from Ruisi in Guangzhou, and some letterheads from Shanghai and Hong Kong, the letter from Hong Kong is nothing more than the gunpowder factory put into production, and Green wrote a letter to himself, introducing the situation of the gunpowder factory, and there is a letter that should have been sent recently, saying that the gunpowder is selling very well, and the Australian financiers have rushed to buy it, which can be said to be in short supply.

Because Ye Zhao said that he had been supervising the war outside during this time, he had really saved up a lot of letters, and it took more than an hour to read these letters.

What Ye Zhao didn't expect was that there was also a letter from Boss Su, which was first sent to Guangzhou and then forwarded by Ruisi. Ye Zhao was extremely relieved of Ruisi, thinking that he would not peek at his letter, not to mention that Boss Su would definitely not write anything important in the letter, if there was really something, he would definitely send someone close to him to send a message.

Sure enough, Boss Su didn't say anything, but he mentioned it, and when he said that he had heard that Britain and France were doing their best to inspect arms smuggling, although it was just such a casual remark, it made Ye Zhao immediately alert, and this was not a good sign.

The war in Crimea seems to be coming to an end, Britain and France can't even wait to prepare for war with the Qing Dynasty, and their recent battles outside the customs are booming, if Britain and France start a war with the Qing Dynasty, it is inevitable to cut off their own ammunition supply.

Therefore, relying on buying other people's weapons is not a long-term solution after all.

The Rakshasas in the Far East are now assembled in their strongholds around Petropavlovsk, and Muravyok's fleet is anchored in the port of Petropavlovsk.

Thinking about the loss of the colony in the lower reaches of Heilongjiang and the heavy losses of the army, Muravyyok became more cautious and did not rush to mobilize ships to kill Heilongjiang. He must be planning a fatal blow that can give him, looking for an opportunity to annihilate his own new force. The current Muravyok drove the fleet into the mouth of the Heilongjiang River to show off his might, which was meaningless at all, and even if he bombarded Aihui City and his troops bravely abandoned the city to hide, what he did was still useless, and if he could not destroy the troops outside his command, his colonial plan could not be implemented smoothly.

It seems that the war has been won in the past few months, but in fact, only Ye Zhao knows in his heart how grim the situation is, Britain and France are ready to move, and Tsarist Russia is eyeing each other, if war breaks out on the north and south fronts at the same time, Britain and France cut off their own ammunition sources, but they are afraid that this northern front will also encounter great trouble.
