"Your Excellency, we have contacted eleven towns so far, and although the losses are heavy, at least they have not been captured by the Tatars." This was reported by a Russian military officer to the Nizhny Baikal Overseer Ivan Federovich Krient. "But now we have the villages and towns of Mogocha and Borja destroyed, and all the Russian residents have been slaughtered."

Kderient asked: "Hillock, Selengsk, Amarat, Irgensk and other places are still not in contact?" ”

"Our current Mongol cavalry is still in the west, cutting off the road to the mainland." The officer replied with a heavy expression. "In addition, the Cossack cavalry who went to inquire about Upper Ullikhon reported that there was a new Mongol army in the south."

"A new Mongol army?" Krient's eyes flickered. "South?" A thought popped into Kderient's mind that even he thought was incredible. "Maybe we can contact this new Mongol army." Seeing the shocked expressions of his subordinates, Krient explained. "The battle between the Tatars and the Chinese has clearly been decided, so can we consider that the Tatars who raged last year were the remnants of the Qing Empire that was driven out of China? This would explain the disappearance of the Tatars, because the army of the Chinese had appeared, and the Tatars could only abandon the imminent victory and flee farther and colder to the north, yes, it must be so. ”

Krientt did not guess the process, but he guessed the result, and even clearly judged the movements of the remnants of the Qing army, so it can be said that he was also an excellent commander, but his power in his hands was limited, and he was once too arrogant, trying to seize the success within his ability, which led to a series of failures later.

The officer on the side did not have the same keen insight as Krient, so he reminded: "Your Excellency, according to the report of the Cossacks, it is not the Chinese who appeared, but the Mongols. ”

"The Tatars can drive the Mongols to fight together, and the Chinese can naturally drive the Mongols to fight together." Krientt became more and more firm in his judgment. "We must send emissaries to contact the Chinese and ask them to restrain the Mongol movement and assist the empire in eliminating the Mongol natives who helped the Tatars."

"Your Excellency, I heard that the Emperor of China not only sent an envoy back from you, but also sent troops to attack Okhotsk." The officer reminded again. "It is clear that the Chinese are equally aggressive, so even if the Mongols who appeared in the south were vassals of the Chinese, it is difficult to imagine that they would identify with the rule of the empire in Nizhny Baikal."

"You have a point." Krientt came to his senses, and the Russians, who had been beaten by the Qing court, had changed from arrogance to inferiority, so he couldn't help but become nervous when he was about to face the Chinese Empire, which turned the murderous Manchus into lost dogs. "The Chinese may wipe out the Tatars and the Mongols who helped the Tatars, but there is also a considerable possibility that they will wipe out the empire's rule in the Nizhny Baikal region."

Krient narrowed his eyes and thought about it for a long time, and decided: "Immediately evacuate all the Russian residents and all supplies from all the surrounding villages and towns to Nerchensk, and at the same time ask for help from the Governor General and the Yakutsk Military District??????"

"We were deceived by the Manchurians, fought against the Celestial Empire, and knew that our sins were unforgivable, so we came to our senses and turned against us to atone for our previous sins." While the Kdrion Overseer was planning a response, outside what the Russians called the city of Upper Ulihon, the banner owners of the Six Banners of Korqin were surrendering to Kuching, which had just arrived. "Now there are 214 Manchu nobles below the puppet emperor Tongzhi, and another 611 Manchu nobles, 6,421 lower ranks, and 16,821 prisoners, please also ask your adults to inspect them."

Kuching, who was sitting on the tiger skin chair in the tent, touched his gray beard, squinted his eyes and looked at the six flag owners in front of him. However, Kuching did not speak for a long time, which made the six banner masters who had been connected with Darigang Aibu in advance Zasak have a certain horror, for fear that this killing god will turn his face on the spot and make himself a turtle in the urn.

Perhaps feeling that the people of Horqin had felt fear, Kuching nodded: "It is a good thing that several banner masters can wake up suddenly, but whether they can atone for their previous sins is not up to the officials. ”

Several banner owners who had been granted amnesty hurriedly responded: "Please also ask your Excellency to fulfill it." ”

"Fulfillment? The consummation also depends on the tables of several flag owners. Kuching said indifferently. Don't think that you can pass the border by offering the Qing Emperor and a few prisoners, but I ask you, what about the armor, guns, gunpowder, horses, and belongings of the captives? After receiving more than 16,000 live prisoners, it is all of them, and a few banner masters have not hidden Dingkou? Kuching snorted. Of course, the official won't ask you for it, but what to do next, you can do it yourself. ”

Several Horqin banner owners were sweating, and they had to thank them again: "Thank you for your magnanimity, in the future, you will definitely look forward to the adults and horses, and if you want us to wait for the Horqin people to go east, we will never go west." ”

Kuching smiled indifferently: "It's easier said than done, so it's up to you to see your actions in the future, get up." ”

Several Horqin banner lords stood up, and naturally someone gave up their positions to let them join the ranks, and at this time they heard Kuching say: "There is an explanation in the saint, there are two major events in the north this time, the first is naturally to pursue and suppress the remnants of Jianyu, and the second is to recapture Beihai from the hands of the Oros." Now, the pursuit of the remnants of Jianyu has been completed by the Horqin Banners on behalf of most of the remnants, and the small remnants led by Yun Yu have no food and no backup, and sooner or later they will die, so the next task is to recapture the entire Beihai. ”

Except for the two cavalry divisions under Kuching's command, which were Xia troops, the rest were all Mongolian rebels, including 5,000 cavalry from the Darigang Ai Division, 1,500 cavalry from the Left and Right Sanyin Noyan Division, 2,500 cavalry from the Tushetu Khan Division, and 5,000 cavalry from the Chechen Khan Division, with a total strength of about 26,000 people.

This number is far less than half of the nearly 60,000 people of the Qing and Mongolian coalition forces, so if the Qing court and the Horqin people can fight hard, the victory or defeat is still unknown, but who made the Qing court and Horqin up and down is already a frightened bird, the result is chaos without a fight, and the future of the Qing court is ruined and the Horqin people come to surrender in humiliation. Now that they know the truth, the Horqin people regret it, but they can only make the mistake wrong, who let the Horqin people kill 3,000 enemies and lose 800 themselves, and after a fight, together with the local Mongols, there are only more than 25,000 troops, just in terms of numbers, they are no longer the opponents of the Xia army, not to mention that the Xia army's cavalry is fierce and powerful, and it is not a problem to fight the Horqin people with one enemy and three.

Of course, the strength of the Chamon coalition army is enough if it is a field battle, but if it is necessary to attack the city, the caliber of the artillery equipped by the coalition army is too small to deal with the strong city walls, so Kuching can only send troops to escort a group of Manchu prisoners back to the interior while continuing to implement the siege policy, in order to starve to death and trap the Russians in Selengsk, Irgensk and other places in the city, as for Nebuchu, which has become the last and largest Russian stronghold in the eastern part of the Nizhny Baikal region, it will mainly attack and harass and destroy the possibility of resuming production. forced the Russians to surrender automatically.

Although Kuching's calculations were good, he never thought that at the same time as he accepted the surrender of the Korqins, a Russian reinforcement entered the city of Nerchensk from outside the relaxed blockade line, and it was the Yakutsk Governor's Military District that drove a thousand Cossack soldiers and a full cart of sixty carts of food.

"Your Excellency, Lord Celesco, I have asked you to tell your Excellency that the Yakutsk side will no longer be able to provide you with any help in the future." This was reported by Major Verlaev, who commanded the reinforcements. "Last year, the Overseer raised 2,500 soldiers to regain Okhotsk, but was defeated by the Chinese Empire, and the entire Overseer was shaken.

Major Verlaev, who was operating along the Lena River, did not know that for the time being the Huaxia did not have the idea of continuing to penetrate into Eastern Siberia across the Zhugjur Mountains, but the remnants of the Yunyu Army, who had fled north in a hurry, brought the greatest terror to the Russian population in the western territory of the Yakutsk Military District, which had evacuated its forces.

"The Chinese Empire?"

Krient's face was extremely gloomy, of course, because the news brought by Major Verlayev confirmed his previous judgment, and also because the Mongol soldiers on the periphery were reactivated, although the Russians, who could not farm outside the city and could only rely on a small amount of fishing and hunting to obtain supplies, received supplies from Yakutsk, the consumption of seven or eight thousand people in the city was still very large, and only sixty carts of supplies were a drop in the bucket.

However, the strong man broke his wrist and abandoned the city that he had painstakingly managed for more than 50 years and withdrew to the mainland, which was not at all something that a small frontier overseer in Kderient could decide: "Poplawsky, how many troops are there in Nerchensk now?" ”

The young adjutant named Poplawsky quickly gave the answer: "Counting the 1,000 Cossack troops who have just arrived, there are currently 1,700 Cossacks and 600 musketeers in the city of Nerchensk, a total of 31 artillery pieces, and a militia composed of local Russian residents is also 400 people, but the militia can only be used to assist in the defense of the city." The above already includes all the troops withdrawn from the surrounding villages and towns such as Slitansk and Karymsk. ”

"Two thousand seven hundred? There were only two thousand seven hundred. Kderient sighed, if in the past, this little force was enough to conquer a large Mongolian tribe with a population of more than 100,000, but now, it is not enough for the Xia army to plug the teeth. Inform Major Liyev to continue to strengthen the fortifications of Nerchensk, and in addition, Major Verlayev, I hand over all the Cossacks to you, and you should think of setting up a guard outside the city to ensure that the local population can go to the fields. ”

Nebuchu, the main city of the Governor's District, was able to hold out, but Irgensk and other places, which had been besieged for many days, could no longer hold on.

On the seventh day of the fifth month of the seventeenth year of Wucheng in China, the Russian ** people in the city of Irgensk ventured to break through, but were attacked and killed by the Chechen Khan after leaving the city, although the Russians resisted desperately, but due to the long-term siege after the body was not supported and other reasons, the final breakthrough failed, most of the Russians were killed one after another, and only a few women escaped death as slaves??????
