The Russian army deployed on the border was easily defeated by the Northern Army, which allowed the Northern Army to smoothly enter Russian territory.

"Commander, the 4th Infantry Division has already dealt with the old Maozi on the border." A staff officer reported to Lieutenant General Shi Deshan.

"Let the 7th Cavalry Brigade be dispatched. The follow-up departments are also moving forward one after another! In this battle, we will recover the land that has been occupied by Lao Maozi for more than 200 years! Lieutenant General Shi Deshan ordered.

"Yes, Commander!" The staff officer nodded, his eyes full of excitement.

The 7th Cavalry Brigade of the Northern Army took the lead, and more than 8,000 cavalry accelerated to Chita. They will travel to the west of Chita and cut off the connection between Chita and the west. The rest of the Northern Army, according to the predetermined plan, marched towards Chita. Chita is an important town in the Far East of Russia and the largest city in the northwest of Heilongjiang, and is the center of Lao Maozi's rule here. However, more than 200 years ago, this was once Chinese territory.

From Manchuria to Chita, it is a distance of nearly 400 kilometers. It only took a few days for the cavalry to arrive, but it took more than ten days for the infantry. Especially in the case of carrying a large number of heavy artillery, it affected the speed of the journey.

More than 300 kilometers east of Chita is a small city called Nerchensk, which is inhabited by only a few hundred Russians. Although, the war broke out between Russia and the government of the North. However, it is still very calm. None of the Russians living here thought that the Northern Army would attack such a remote town. After all, there is no strategic importance here at all.

"Boom!"

There was a sound like thunder in the sky, which made many Russians working in the fields frown. They looked up and looked at the sky, and the sun was still hanging in the sky, and there were no dark clouds!

"It's strange, why is there thunder? Is it going to rain again? A gray-haired Russian said.

"Nope. It's not thunder! It's cavalry. My God! A lot of cavalry. A young man pointed into the distance and cried out in horror.

I saw that in the distance in the sky, a dark green wave was approaching Nerchensk. As you can tell from their attire, this is not the Russian Cossack cavalry. The cloak of the Cossack cavalry was black. The cavalry in front of him was dark green, as if it had been combined with the grassland. If you don't pay attention to it. I can't tell the difference at all.

"The cavalry of the Chinese. How could the Chinese cavalry come here? "The Russians are panicking.

Soon, the cavalry entered Nerchensk and captured the small city.

"From now on, this place will be restored to its original name, no longer called Nerchensk, but Nebuchu!" Lieutenant General Shi Deshan, commander of the Eastern Front of the Northern Army, said. He deliberately went to the cavalry battalion of the 1st Infantry Division and made a detour here. In order to recapture this important city for himself. More than 200 years ago, Lao Maozi took away a large part of China's territory through the Treaty of Nebuchu. Now the Northern Army will use real actions to recover these territories. When the Northern Army reoccupied Nebuchu, it was also announced that the Treaty of Nebuchu would be null and void.

From the time of Tsar Ivan IV in the late 16th century. Russia began the process of colonization of Siberia and the Far East. In 1636 the Russians reached the Sea of Okhotsk and conquered all of Siberia. This region became a colony of the Russians.

When Russia's power approached Qing China, a military conflict ensued. In 1652 (the ninth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty), the Russians entered the Heilongjiang River in the east, "garrisoned Ningguta Zhangjing Haise to attack it, and fought in the village of Uzala". This was the first battle between China and Russia. In 1657, the Russian Empire sent regular troops to establish the cities of Yaksa and Nebuchu at the confluence of the Nebuchu and Shilka rivers. Since then, there have been many diplomatic and military conflicts between China and Russia. In 1685, after the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty put down the "Rebellion of the Three Feudatories". The general Peng Chun was sent to raise 3,000 troops from Aihui on May 22 and invade Yaksa on May 25.

After that, the Qing army withdrew and the Russian army made a comeback. In 1686, the Qing army of 2,000 attacked Yaksa again and besieged the city. After months of fighting. The head of the Russian army, Tolbuzin, was killed, the Russian army suffered heavy casualties, and the city of Yaksa was just around the corner. This forced the tsarist government to "beg to withdraw from the siege of Yaksa" and sent Golovin as an ambassador to China for border negotiations in November. In order to show its sincerity in negotiations, the Qing government announced an unconditional ceasefire and stopped the siege.

The Treaty of Nebuchu was the first border treaty signed between the Qing Dynasty and Russia, and it was also the first unequal treaty. China, which had clearly won the war, ceded large swathes of territory to the Russians. The treaty stipulates that from the Gelbiqi River, a tributary of the Heilongjiang River, to the Outer Khing'an Mountains and to the sea. Lingnan belongs to China, and Lingbei belongs to Russia. It is bounded by the Ergun River in the west, China in the south, and Russia in the north. The Yaksa region belonged to China, and the city of Yaksa was demolished, and the Russians moved back to Russia. Orions and others in the two countries are not allowed to cross the border without authorization, otherwise they will be arrested and questioned. More than a dozen or more people crossing the border in groups must report to the emperors of the two countries and be sentenced to death according to the crime.

Before the treaty was signed, the entire territory east and south of Lake Baikal belonged to China. However, it was because of this treaty that China lost vast tracts of land east of Lake Baikal to north of the Ergun River. It is precisely because of this that Lao Maozi saw clearly the reality of China, and began to constantly invade China and plunder China's territory.

Wu Haoxuan is also very resentful of Emperor Kangxi, who is willing to sign the treaty, just such an emperor, he dares to claim to be the Holy Ancestor, it is simply shameless. Neither the territory was opened up and expanded, but all the nations came to the court. Nor did it allow the common people to live a stable and prosperous life. What qualifications does he have to be called a Holy Ancestor? It can only be said that the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was too shameless and too good at putting gold on his face.

The so-called Battle of Yaksa was nothing more than a battle between thousands of Manchu people sent by the Manchus and hundreds of Russians. The Qing army suffered heavy casualties and finally had to force the Russian army to surrender through siege. Is such a victory also worth writing about? The most important point is that I finally won this battle, and I still ceded land to others, what is the reason? It can be seen that since Emperor Kangxi, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has already knelt to Lord Yang!

Shi Deshan did not stay long in Nebuchu, and after leaving a cavalry platoon here, he marched towards Chita. The attack on Chita is what counts. As for Nebuchu, after the Northern Army completely wins this battle, it will welcome Chinese immigrants here. China will reoccupy it.

Chita, one of the most important cities in Russia in the Far East. Tens of thousands of Russians live here. It's just that after learning that the border has been broken through and the Northern Army is approaching Chita in a big way, there is a panic here. Countless Russians dragged their families and packed up their salutes, fled Chita, and moved westward with their families, hoping to escape before the arrival of the Northern Army.

Although, the railway line between Chita and Ulan-Ude has been built. But trains are so scarce that only a very small number of people are able to ride them. The rest of the people can only ride horses or carriages, or even not.

On August 8, the 7th Cavalry Brigade of the Northern Army appeared west of Chita, completely cutting off the connection between Chita and the west. The thousands of Russian troops stationed in Chita immediately entered a state of emergency. It's just that they have few troops and backward equipment, and it is almost impossible to let them take the initiative to attack, and they can only defend passively.

On August 16, a regiment of the 4th Infantry Division of the Northern Army was the first to arrive in Chita. After arriving at Chita, the regiment took a brief rest and launched an attack on Chita. Nine 75-mm field guns of the regiment carried out a heavy shelling of Chita, which made the already demoralized Russian army even more panicked.

Subsequently, the Northern Army launched an offensive. The resistance of the Russian army is very fragile. In the face of the attack of the Northern Army, they had no intention of resisting at all. Many Russian troops even threw away their weapons and mixed in with civilians in an attempt to escape with their lives.

With the morale of the Russian army completely low, it is naturally impossible to resist the attack of the Northern Army. The 41st Infantry Regiment of the 41st Infantry Division of the Northern Army attacked Chita in the afternoon of the same day. Originally, the Northern Army thought that it would fight a hard street battle with the Russians. But in the end, the officers and soldiers in the north found that they thought too highly of the Russians.

The Russian army stationed in Chita was originally a rabble. Their lack of training, coupled with their backward weaponry and low morale, did not want to fight at all. At the beginning of the battle, they were bombarded by the artillery of the Northern Army, which immediately frightened them enough. So much so that these Russian troops even broke and fled.

If they stubbornly engage in street fighting with the Northern Army, they may bring some trouble to the Northern Army. But alas, these Russian troops simply did not have the courage to fight.

In the evening of the same day, the 4th Infantry Regiment of the 41st Infantry Division of the Northern Army captured Chita. The mayor of Chita and other high-ranking officials have long since fled. The entire city fell under the control of the Northern Army.

After the capture of Chita, the Northern Army began to advance westward along the Trans-Siberian Railway. Before the signing of the Treaty of Nebuchu, the entire territory east of Lake Baikal was the territory of China. Now, what the Northern Army has to do is to recover these homelands. And Wu Haoxuan's plan is that after this war, he can abolish the "Treaty of Nebuchu" and the unequal treaties signed with the Russians in the future, and will take back all the territories seized by the Russians.

Of course, it's not that easy to do this. The Northern Army had to win not only on the battlefield, but also at the negotiating table, under pressure from the Great Powers. (To be continued......)
