Lin Yuan picked up the pen and wrote on the paper: "Honorable Brigadier General Ivan Antonov, I agree to your request for surrender, please go out of the city at ten o'clock today to discuss the surrender." ”

Lin Yuan handed the letter to the staff officer and asked the herald to send it to the Russians, and soon got a reply, Antonov agreed to Lin Yuan's request, and at ten o'clock, Antonov, accompanied by several entourage, came to Lin Yuan's camp.

Lin Yuan first said: "We will not harm your surrendered soldiers, I hope you will hand over the granaries and ammunition depots in the city, this is the surrender matter we have planned, please take a look." ”

Antonov's face was full of frustration, only a year ago, they had occupied most of the northeast, they were swaggering victors, and a year later, they handed over their surrender and were outright losers under the blows of Lin Yuan.

Antonov accepted the surrender agreement, and the remaining defenders of Khabarovsk surrendered without the slightest resistance, so far, the battle of Khabarovsk ended, the battle began on October 30 and ended on December 5, the first army of the Russian army in Siberia, three infantry divisions and a cavalry brigade were all annihilated, a total of more than 34,000 people surrendered, and more than 6,000 were killed.

Lin Yuan led the main force of his troops into Khabarovsk on December 5, and immediately after entering the city, he occupied the Russian city hall, the police station, the military headquarters building, and other places, which are symbols of the regime, and the occupation of these places means the change of regime.

Lin Yuan then sent troops to take over the banks, factories, granaries and other places, and issued notices in the city, all daily life went on as usual, and promised to maintain social order, hoping that the shops would continue to open as usual, and in all the notices, "Boli" was officially used instead of "Khabarovsk". The city, which had been seized by the Russians for thirty-five years, finally returned to the bosom of the Motherland.

Lin Yuan set up the temporary headquarters in the city hall, and on the one hand, he ordered people to put up notices to pacify the residents of the city, and on the other hand, he ordered the troops to take over the fishing port.

Just when Lin Yuan was dispatching his troops, he only heard a violent explosion in the distance, which shook the house twice, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "There are no Russian troops around here, where did such a violent explosion come from?" ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked his staff officers and said, "What's the explosion?" ”

The staff officer hesitated and said: "Did the Russian army blow up the ammunition depot?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Impossible, the defenders have already handed over all four large ammunition depots to us, how can they explode?" ”

The staff officers shook their heads, Lin Yuan walked to the window, pushed open the window and looked at the people outside, they were all stunned, Lin Yuan suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Bring all the documents from the Russian army headquarters and help me find something." ”

The staff officer smiled bitterly: "Lin Shuai, there are too many documents in the Russian army headquarters, and we don't understand Russian, we can't find anything you ask us to find!" ”

Lin Yuan said, "You guys help me pick out all the maps." ”

The staff officers didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly searched for it in the document, and soon turned out more than a dozen maps, Lin Yuan picked them one by one, suddenly took out one, and said, "Found it." ”

The staff officers hurriedly gathered around and asked, "What did you find?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "The source of the explosion, if I am not mistaken, must have exploded in the granary. ”

A staff officer asked, "Can the granary explode too?" ”

Lin Yuan took a map and said: "This map is the distribution map of the granary of the Russian army, which indicates the type of grain in the granary, and the Russian army hoards flour in the granary, and after the flour spreads into the air, it will explode like explosives when it encounters open flames." ”

The staff officer hurriedly asked, "But didn't the Russians hand over all the granaries to us?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "It must be the Russians who built a secret granary, this Antonov dared to lie to me." ”

Lin Yuan's tone became hurried, and he said, "Quick, order the troops, and rush to the remaining granaries." ”

The staff officers hurriedly went to deliver the order, and Lin Yuan knew that most of the people in Boli City were workers or merchants, and there were very few farmers, so the grain in the city needed to be transported from elsewhere, and the Russians would definitely not transport grain here anymore, so if you want to maintain the lives of the residents in the city, you must occupy their granaries.

Although the Russian army has surrendered, there are still some officers who resist stubbornly, and they also know that food is the death hole of the residents in the city, so they blew up the granary, and the troops set off one after another.

The flour in the granary is extremely flammable, so there is nothing left after the explosion, Lin Yuan couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, why didn't he send troops to occupy the granary early?

At this moment, a herald walked in and said, "Lin Shuai, there are dozens of Chinese outside the door asking to see?" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What do they do?" ”

The herald replied, "They are all merchants of the city, and some of them are grain merchants......

Before the herald could finish speaking, Lin Yuan waved his hand and said, "Quickly invite the grain merchant in." ”

The herald asked, "What about the others?" Lin Yuan said, "Then invite the people led by them in." ”

After a while, the herald led an old man in, the old man had a white beard, and when he saw Lin Yuan, he fell down and bowed, Lin Yuan hurriedly helped him up, pulled a chair for him, and let him sit opposite him.

The old man said: "The villain's surname is Huang, his name is Xiangsheng, he is three out of fifty this year, and he is a local grain merchant. ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Huang Xiangsheng opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he shed tears, suddenly couldn't cry, got down from the chair, knelt down in front of Lin Yuan, and begged: "Adult, the villain asks the adult for one thing, I hope the adult will agree." ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "If you have anything, just say it directly, get up quickly." ”

Huang Xiangsheng still knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, the villain, and dozens of Chinese businessmen outside the door, I implore you to arrest all the Russians in the city and kill them all!" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What is this for?" ”

Huang Xiangsheng cried: "It was more than 30 years ago, the Russians just came here, not to say that this is their territory, but also to say that they signed a treaty with the imperial court, let us change the clothes of the Russians, speak their language, we don't listen to them, they will kill our people, the villain's parents were killed at that time, and the people outside the door are the same as the villain, and they have a blood feud with the Russians!" ”

As soon as Lin Yuan was about to speak, Huang Xiangsheng kowtowed to the ground and cried: "I beg the general to avenge this blood revenge for the little ones!" ”

Lin Yuan helped him up and said, "Old man, the Russians in the city are not your enemies, we can't kill them." ”

Huang Xiangsheng stared at Lin Yuan with wide eyes, Lin Yuan explained: "It was the Russian soldiers who killed your relatives, not the Russian people in the city, many of the Russians in the city are also from poor people, we can leave them, and we can also contribute to our future development. ”

Huang Xiangsheng looked at Lin Yuan helplessly, as if he hadn't figured it out yet, Lin Yuan then said: "Don't worry, our country will be extremely strong in the future, and no one will dare to bully us." ”

Huang Xiangsheng nodded and said helplessly: "That's it." ”

Lin Yuan remembered the matter of food, so he asked, "How much grain do you have in your hands?" ”
