Chapter 199: Blood Baptizes

Think about the Qing Dynasty, a few years ago, the British and French forces captured the country and sacked the Old Summer Palace. But all the people of the country who mentioned this matter hated it bitterly and felt deeply humiliated. Now that Liu Xian is so powerful, killing Kokand soldiers is the same as chopping melons and vegetables, how can the Chinese people not cheer? Especially the people of Beijing, who suffered greatly from Britain and France.

This year's sales of firecrackers in Beijing are at least three times higher than in previous years.

Thirty years ago, I thought I was the central country, the kingdom of the Celestial Empire. As a result, thousands of foreigners came in from the seaside, and they were defeated again and again, so that the foreigners were lost from south to north. The governor and the general army died in a dozen or twenty.

When the crows are more nested. was killed all the way into the city of Beijing, and in the battle of Bali Bridge, no matter how heroic Seng Lingqin was, he could not hide a fact - the 30,000-strong army was defeated, and he was so defeated that he had no temper at all.

In front of foreigners, the whole country has no power to fight back, and this pain of falling from heaven to hell destroys everyone's self-esteem. Moreover, because there is no possibility of successful revenge, the court has become more and more groveling to foreigners over the years, and the common people have all regarded foreigners as foreigners who are one level higher than officials. The self-esteem and self-confidence of the entire nation that has been erected for 3,000 years are also collapsing little by little.

Now Liu Xian is finally out.

Although Liu Xian didn't kill the British and French soldiers, he was also a foreigner, wasn't it? Previously, Aguba swept the entire southern Xinjiang, and some people turned out the old things of Zhang Ge, and added the 'Spiritual Victory Method', which invariably raised the level of the small country of Kokand.

Such victories again and again and the great achievements of recovering southern Xinjiang allowed Liu Xian to surpass Liu Mingchuan and Bao Chao in one fell swoop, and became a generation of famous generals on a par with Duolonga in the banner population, and became the first general in the world among countless Han people.

In the face of the persecution of the Russians, the imperial court once again retreated and avoided concessions, and ordered Liu Xian to collect his troops and return to China, which added a touch of tragedy to Liu Xianam's famous general's demeanor.

At this time, the discussion between the government and the opposition had not subsided, and the news of the Russian troops entering Ili came out. Instantly, an even bigger wave swept in.

The Manchus were reluctant to cede Ili. The cries of the government and the opposition also made them dare not give up Ili as if they had ceded the previous land. and the mischief of the British, who did not hesitate to contact Tsarist Russia in order to support Aguba, but they also did not want to see Tsarist Russia go into battle shirtless, and after the fall of Aguba, they could still get a piece of fatty fragrant meat.

With the support of the British, the Manchurian Liquidation had the confidence to play negotiations with Russia. Although the price of this is that the Military Aircraft Department secretly issued a message, asking Liu Xian to release the British caught in Kashgar New Town.

But I don't know if I have gone to southern Xinjiang yet, and the news that Liu Xian has come out again is that he has opened a film with the Russians. In the first battle, three or four thousand Ili indigenous rebels were wiped out, and thousands of Russian troops were killed and wounded, and now the Russian army is surrounded under the city of Guangren. He drew troops to sweep the remaining four cities and completely recovered the nine cities of Ili.

The whole city of Beijing is boiling.

This is no longer a small country like Kokand, and I no longer need to slap a swollen face and become fat, but now I am fighting a big country like Russia, a big European country that has seen a battle with the Qing Dynasty as early as the period of the 'Holy Grandfather'. Several treaties cut off half of the northeastern powers of the Qing Dynasty.

Countless people cheered. Liu Xian is also a 2,000-foot horseman, and he is also fighting 2,000 Russian troops, what could be more reliable than such a record?

It's okay for the Qing army to falsely report the military situation and the indigenous rebels, but no one will falsely report the foreigners, right? What a false report, how can the acting minister of the Russians be so angry, barking like a mad dog around the prime minister's yamen every day?

The fear, hatred, and humiliation of foreigners in this era can only be baptized with the blood of war.

So, the whole city of Beijing exploded. As for Yevgeny . Karlovich. The threat of war issued by Butzer was only worried, worried, and preoccupied only by a small group of people at the top of the court.

"Sister, you can just make up your mind with the sixth master about this matter. Sister..., it's really ......" Ci'an was speechless. She really doesn't have that talent for this national event, and she doesn't want to pay attention to it. However, a thought in her heart couldn't help but rise from the bottom of her heart - if ten years ago, if there was such a person as Liu Xian in Beijing ten years ago, and there was such an army as him, why would the magnificent and magnificent Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens be looted by others and then burned clean? Why is the emperor's harem in a hurry, frightened, and restless? Why did Emperor Daxing leave so early and so desolate? And if Emperor Daxing didn't leave, why did he become a widow early? Lonely and miserable in this deep palace?

Ci'an's emotion, how Cixi is not so. Her heart was pounding, and there was a sense of unreality. Did the 2,000 expeditionary army really defeat the same number of Russian troops? There are five or six thousand people in the expeditionary army that entered Xinjiang, and there are more than 10,000 people in the Qin army, which constitutes the main body of the expeditionary army......

But the joy was followed by worry. The clamor and threats of the Russian envoy have been heard vividly in the past few days, and Cixi will not really underestimate Russia because of Liu Xianam's victory in Yili. In recent days, she has learned more about the country of Russia, which fought against the British, French, Sardinia and the Turkish Empire more than ten years ago, although it failed, but it is also one of the few powerful countries among foreigners.

In the Qing Dynasty, there was a Liu Siam who won in Yili, but there was only one Liu Siam. If the Russians make a move in the Northeast, the land of their ancestors will not be protected!

It is absolutely impossible to declare war and start fighting. Cixi was afraid, and King Gong and others were resolutely unwilling to fight, including Zeng Guofan, all of them meant the same thing. But if there is no hidden concession on the surface, the people will discuss the voice of the people......

The war in the Central Plains and Jiangnan that lasted for more than ten years has just subsided, and it is the time for the imperial court to win the hearts and minds of the local people......

Cixi didn't have a clue, and her mind was messed up for a while. It's hard to get the best of both worlds, and she can't think of a good way to break her brain. And the lesser of the two powers, it is very easy to say, but it is difficult to do.

……

Gwangin City.

In a prisoner of war camp, Jack of England. Major Dural was talking with a Russian prisoner of war who had taken the initiative to 'anyway' with the assistance of an interpreter. There were a dozen or so people waiting in the corridor outside the door, either from the expeditionary army or British.

Don't look at Jack. Dural was in a prisoner-of-war camp, and he was not a prisoner now. After a small delay on the road for a month, Beijing's will was finally delivered to Liu Xian. Liu Xian doesn't care about withdrawing troops from Andijan, the current Qing army is still too busy to take care of itself, how can he have the ability to grab the fat in Lao Maozi's bowl in Central Asia, where the strength is weak?

He asked Dong Fuxiang to march into Andijan, which was originally a false trick, a flower cannon used to attract the attention of the Russians. Now that his goal has been achieved, it is time for Dong Fuxiang to withdraw.

In case the Russians see that they have suffered losses in Ili and are not angry, and take Dong Fuxiang out of anger, then the allied forces of Dong Jun and Yarkand and other places will be miserable.

As for releasing the British military delegation so easily, Liu Xian had expected it earlier. The group of people in the city of Beijing had boneless knees in front of the British. But he put his attitude very bluntly, so as to further establish his image in the eyes of a group of people in the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty - a horse.

Unexpectedly, the British delegation after being released not only did not immediately turn around and go back to India, but cheekily came to Ili.

The purpose of the British who entered Ili was very clear, that is, to investigate the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary army. It was only in addition to this main goal that a number of other details also caught the attention of the British. Just like this one in front of me - the Russian prisoner of war who took the initiative to 'anyway'.

Jack. Dural wondered why a white officer would join a Qing army. As for the translators, there were Russian-speaking people in the British delegation.

"Alexander. Lowaisky ...... Former second lieutenant of the Russian Army, I heard that you were awarded the Order of Santa Anna of the 1st degree? ”

"Yes. Before being promoted to second lieutenant, I worked as a soldier for five years and a non-commissioned officer for three years. ”

Lowaiski said unabashedly, without the slightest shame on his face.

"Then you can say that you are a key elite of the Russian army. The Tsar gave you honor, why are you ......"

Jack. Dural didn't go on. Lowaisky looked so indifferent that he thought he was talking to a ruffian with no honor or shame.

"Mr. Major, you only heard that I have received the Order of Santa Anna of the First Class, I wonder if you know that I have also received the Order of the White Eagle?"

Lowaiski calmly looked at the Englishman in front of him, "I'm a Pole!" ”

Since the partition of Poland in the early eighteenth century, part of its territory was annexed to Russia, and the Tsar established the Order of the White Eagle in Poland in 1725, which began to be awarded to those born in Poland in the name of the Russian Emperor from 1815. In 1831 he was included in the Order of the Russian Federation.

Jack. Dural stopped talking. His previous investigation was so negligent that he didn't know that the first person to defect to the Qing people among the thousands of Russian prisoners of war was a Pole.

It was only five years earlier that the January Uprising against Russian rule broke out in Poland.

"I was captured on the first night of the war. Now that you've arrived at a prisoner of war camp, you should know that there were two battles here. For the first time, General Golpakovsky was defeated, and the Russian army lost almost all of the Ili natives, as well as five or six hundred lives.

In that battle, the Russian army suffered a heavy defeat. Since the move to Central Asia, no other battle has claimed the lives of so many Russian soldiers.

The Russian army also fought valiantly in that battle, and few surrendered in that battle. ”

Lowaisky clicked on the prisoner of war camp and said to Dural: "Ninety percent of the people here were captured in the final decisive battle. And I was one of the very few people who surrendered in the first battle. ”

"If I were a Russian, if I had been a prisoner in the Second World War, there would not have been any unpredictable bad changes in my future. But I am a Pole, I surrendered in the first battle, not only do I have no future in the army, but my life will not be guaranteed in the future......" R1152
