After the Chinese Third Army packed up Uriya Sutai, they rushed to Kobdo non-stop, they wanted to break through there and wait for the order of the headquarters, because the intelligence showed that the Russian army in Wulianghai was already on the way back and would soon return to Wulianghai.

Under the orders of Jiang Fangzhen, Kulun's Huaxia army was divided into two routes, one was 50,000 people who went straight to Maichengcheng, and the other 100,000 troops rushed towards the Wulianghai area, and the Russian prisoners of Kulen were managed by soldiers who were recuperating there and a small number of troops.

Rushing to the city was the troops led by Xu Shuzheng of the Second Group Army, this time they only had more than 20 tanks, two airships, and basically no military motorcycles, but Xu Shuzheng was very confident that he would complete the task smoothly.

In October 1727, Qing Russia signed the "Kyakhta Treaty", Tsarist Russian merchants obtained the right to trade directly with Chinese merchants, according to the provisions of the treaty, the two countries are bounded by Kyakhta, the old market street belongs to Tsarist Russia, the Qing Dynasty built the new Kyakhta market in the south of the old market street, as a Sino-Russian trade market, the Han people called the trading city, this is the origin of the sale.

As one of the few places where there are few places to trade with Tsarist Russia, the city has been very prosperous for more than 200 years, and large merchants such as Dashengkui, Tianyide, Yuanshengde, and Tongshanghao have all opened shops to trade with the Tsars, mostly in raw tobacco, silk, medicinal herbs, and livestock.

Most of these merchants were Jin merchants, and the rest were merchants from all over the world, and their business was very prosperous before the invasion of Tsarist Russia, but now their business is becoming more and more difficult to do, especially after the declaration of independence of Outer Mongolia, they were severely suppressed.

Due to the Empire's march into Outer Mongolia to quell the rebellion, none of these large merchants continued to transport goods to the city of Buying and Selling and Kobdo to trade, and their shops in the city did not continue to open, and they did not want to fund the Russian army to fight the Imperial army.

The Russian troops who were originally in the city of buying and selling had already rushed to Kulen, and now they were garrisoned by 50,000 Russian troops transferred from Nebuchu, who had arrived the day before Kulen surrendered.

The Russian army that arrived at the city of Maimai soon began to build a military defense, and Grand Duke Nikolai believed that the Chinese army was likely to attack the city, because it was so close to Kulen that it would be the territory of the empire.

The Russian army that bought and sold the city did not dare to despise the army of the Chinese Empire, and they also received news about the defeat of the Cullen, if the defeat of Serwusu before was due to the sneak attack of the Chinese army, then the direct face-to-face battle of Kulen has seen the strength of the Chinese army.

In the Tsarist office in the city of Buying, a senior Tsarist military officer looked at the map and was discussing something.

"General Yuris, do you think that the army of the Huaxia Empire will directly attack us, and what should we do?" An officer with the rank of colonel in the Russian army asked.

Major General Yuris, who was holding the baton, looked at the map and said: "It is very likely that the troops of the Huaxia Empire will attack us, but I guess they will transfer a large number of troops to the Wulianghai area, after all, our headquarters is there, and Huaxia will definitely want to fight quickly."

So we don't have to worry too much, they will definitely lose a lot in Coulomb, so there will definitely not be too many troops who will attack us.

Now the most important thing is how to hold on to the arrival of domestic reinforcements, this is very difficult, after all, we don't have tanks and airships that the Chinese army has, I hope that the cavalry units of the empire can withstand those terrifying tanks. ”

The vast majority of the cavalry units of Tsarist Russia were in the Ulianghai area, and only less than 10,000 Cossack cavalry were buying and selling cities, and it was not certain whether the cavalry could defeat the tank Major General Yuris.

"The Imperial cavalry is the strongest cavalry in the world, their superb horsemanship and marksmanship will definitely be able to withstand those tanks, and we still have mines, we will definitely be able to hold out until domestic reinforcements arrive." Another colonel said.

"But our food can only last for about half a month, and after half a month, if the imperial reinforcements have not arrived, we will have to retreat. Well, by the way, we are obviously short of bullets and cannons, which simply won't last us long. Major General Yuris said with a sigh.

They came urgently in Nebuchu, and the food and other materials they brought were not sufficient at all, and it was estimated that they would not have the opportunity to return to Nebuchu to carry supplies when the Chinese army attacked here.

The colonel who asked the question just now said with a sneer: "Why don't we let the Chinese merchants in the city hand over their food and weapons, so that we can not only replenish the supplies but also prevent these Chinese merchants from causing chaos when we fight the Chinese army."

I've also heard that these merchants are very wealthy, and maybe we can ......" and made a look you know.

Many of the officers present knew what the colonel was talking about as soon as they heard it, after all, they had done these things secretly in Nebuchu.

They also know the prosperity of the trading city, and even envied the army stationed here before, the oil and water are not ordinary, but now they have to loot some things when they come here.

Major General Yuris thought for a moment and then said: "Well, this is a good idea, but don't go too far, it will not be good if it arouses the opposition of those people in the country, after all, this is now the territory of Mongolia."

In this way, let them hand over one-third of the grain and money, and regard it as funding the empire to defeat the Chinese Empire, and the empire will give them more preferential treatment in the future. ”

The officers squinted and smiled very knowingly, and then went down, and they liked this kind of thing the most.

There is no way to deal with this Yuris, as long as they handle it well, there should be no criticism, and the empire will understand their situation.

While Yuris and the others were discussing, a large group of people gathered in a secret room in Pù, the shop of the Dai Shengkui Merchant Store in the city.

"Shopkeeper Li, we have secretly hidden a large number of items according to the instructions, and now the things left are less than one-third of the usual ones, will the imperial army really come to take back here?" Tianyide and Yuanshengde's shopkeeper asked together.

These people are all in charge of the major merchant houses in the trading city, including Han and Hui, but there are no Mongol merchants.

After marching into Outer Mongolia, the people of the Ministry of Economy of the Empire approached the principals of these firms, asked them to cooperate with the Empire's actions, and warned them not to finance the enemy, otherwise the consequences would be severe.

"Yes, this is an order from the empire to the headquarters, you are not unaware of the habits of the Tsarist Russians, they will definitely come to collect things if they are greedy, and the empire will not allow us to fund the enemy." Shopkeeper Li said very sternly, "Even if it is not an order from the empire, we can't help the Russians to deal with the empire, but we are Chinese, and we can't do anything sorry for the empire even if we die." Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for us to pay for the Empire, and go back and warn the guys not to expose those burial sites. ”

The other shopkeepers nodded approvingly, the current empire is a good empire, if it is replaced by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they will ignore it.

A few hours later, Russian soldiers came to collect the food and money, and the treasurers paid after a slight resistance, and the Russians did not continue to embarrass them.

Some officers of the Russian army were very puzzled when they saw these things, and according to the information they received, these businesses should be more than that. But after the shopkeepers explained and showed them everything, they had to accept it.

The day after the Russian army seized it, groups of Russian soldiers stormed the shops of various shops and wantonly arrested Chinese merchants, especially the shopkeepers.

They were deported to a wide area, where a large group of Chinese merchants gathered together with their hands tied, Russian soldiers pointing their guns at them, and several heavy machine guns against them.

The Chinese merchants didn't know why they were arrested and came here, and a few of them struggled to reason with the Russian soldiers, but they were greeted by bullets one after another, and the Russian soldiers opened fire.

The Chinese businessmen who came forward to theorize were all shot and killed, and they were shot indiscriminately, and blood flowed all over the ground, and the Chinese businessmen present were stunned, they didn't expect the Russian army to shoot.

The Chinese merchants who were still in turmoil just now did not dare to move in an instant, and they were all trembling, they thought that this was the army of Tsarist Russia using them to threaten the imperial army.

Soon an officer with the rank of colonel walked up, and in front of the Chinese merchants said loudly in Russian: "You have hidden everything there, speak quickly, or their fate will be your fate." With that, he pointed to the merchant who had been beaten to death on the ground.

After hearing this, a Chinese man next to him immediately translated the words of this officer, and it turned out that this officer was the colonel who confiscated the things of the Chinese merchants, and his name was Qusila.

Without waiting for the Chinese merchant to speak, Colonel Qusira said directly: "Give you ten minutes to hand over the buried things, otherwise you will know the consequences." After speaking, he looked at the dead Chinese merchants again, and then left.

The interpreter next to him dutifully translated Qusila's words word for word, and followed the colonel after that.

"Hurry up and find out who isn't here, who betrayed us?" Shopkeeper Li hurriedly said to the people nearby.

After a while, they found that there were really a few less, including a few shopkeepers of small minority national firms, as well as some small and medium-sized shopkeepers.

"We were really betrayed, what to do, what to do?"

"I don't want to die, they really kill us!"

"I said, I'll take you to the place where the buried things are buried!"

"I also said, let me go!"

“……”

It was only a moment before there were all kinds of voices, most of the merchants didn't want to die, and some of them insisted on not handing it over.

"Enough, how can you be worthy of the empire when you say it, are you worthy of the imperial warriors who are fighting, you are treason." Shopkeeper Li shouted loudly.

But at this point, no one listened to Shopkeeper Li at all, but it attracted a lot of hateful eyes, if it weren't for Shopkeeper Li, they wouldn't be like this.

A group of merchants shouted for their belongings, and then they were captured by a group of Russian soldiers, leaving only more than fifty people on the scene, all of whom were from large firms.

"Stand up, you can't kneel, even if you die, you have to stand and die, the empire will not forget us, we will not give in. It is a great honor for Li to live and die with you today, and I hope that we will be good brothers in the next life. Shopkeeper Li stood up and shouted.

Those present all stood up, and they would rather die than fund the enemy, which was the conscience of a Chinese person. It is a great honor that they were friends and enemies in the business field before, but now they live and die together.

Ten minutes passed nervously, and Colonel Quisla appeared in the distance and gave the order to shoot.

"Dada~~~"

The sound of machine gun fire rang out frantically, and one bullet after another penetrated into the body of Li's shopkeeper, and in less than a minute, more than 50 people fell in a pool of blood, and they never screamed from beginning to end.

The Chinese businessman watching from the side did not make even the slightest sad expression, but only a happy feeling for the rest of his life after death.

On that day, all the shops of the major businesses were confiscated by the Russian army, and a large number of things were transported to the logistics department of the Russian army, and as punishment, those merchants who said that they were hiding things were confiscated half of their things.
