Chapter 317: Far Eastern Free Army
Ma Zhanshan led his cavalry and quickly entered the Shuangchengzi Prison, killing people when they saw them, and cutting them when they saw people, the Russian prison guards in charge of guarding were completely unprepared, and they could not be the opponents of the regular army, Feng Jun easily dealt with them, and then rushed to the prison.
The prison is one of the largest in the Far East, with countless rooms, all of which are dark and dirty, like a barn, and no different from a prison in the country. It was also full of Russian prisoners, and as soon as they heard the sound of gunfire outside, someone rushed in again, and the prisoners seemed to have been reborn.
They stretched out their hands and claws one after another, shouting desperately, begging the Feng army to let them go, and a few of them were bold enough to directly reach out and pull Ma Zhanshan's clothes. Ma Zhanshan also showed a look of disgust on his face, they wanted to rescue political prisoners, not these miscellaneous people, and there was no time to waste time on them.
Ma Zhanshan was upset by the shouting of these guys, he raised his pistol, and with a few gunshots, three criminals fell in a pool of blood, and now the others were all frightened, and they no longer dared to beg this gang of murderers to be evil, they huddled in the corner, and did not dare to come out.
Ma Zhanshan walked quickly to the inside of the prison, the rooms here suddenly became much cleaner and tidy, there were only two prisoners in each room at most, at first glance, these people had identities, Ma Zhanshan and they also brought a lot of Russian mercenaries, let them all ask about the situation, as long as they were political prisoners, they were all released.
One prison door after another, the prison doors were smashed open, and these political prisoners escaped in a trembling way, which seemed to them as if they were separated from each other, and many people thought that they would be held here forever, or even die here. But now that they had the chance to escape, they were all thrilled and grateful to this mysterious army.
Ma Zhanshan didn't care about them, but rushed directly to the innermost, this is the cleanest and tidiest room, but the big lock on the door is also the tightest, Ma Zhanshan unceremoniously asked the soldiers to smash the big lock open, and he strode into it. This room was twice as large as the others, and the layout was no different from that of an ordinary study, with a man in his forties or fifties sitting on the edge of the bed.
The man was wearing glasses. He was also a little confused about the army that suddenly appeared in front of him, and he didn't know where they came from. However, Ma Zhanshan knew him, and according to the information prepared, this little old man was one of the leaders of the majority party in the Far East. For instigating a large-scale strike, he was imprisoned by the Tsar.
But his prestige and seniority are very high. A lot of majoritarians active in the Far East. all regard him as a mentor to his predecessors, which is also Feng Jun's ultimate goal this time.
"Mr. Ivanov, we are here to rescue you, hurry up and follow us!" After Ma Zhanshan explained, he directly asked his soldiers to set up this little Russian old man and quickly withdraw from the prison.
By this time, all of the nearly 100 political prisoners in the prison had been released. Then Ma Zhanshan beckoned his soldiers, poured several barrels of kerosene on the building, and then set it on fire. The entire prison was soon enveloped in flames, and flames flew up. The criminals who were still in custody were all engulfed in the fire, and they let out heart-rending howls, but no one could save them, they could only be burned alive.
Ma Zhanshan was running away quickly with his soldiers at this time, he had already heard the sound of horses' hooves in the direction of Shuangchengzi, it was obvious that the Russian army had been alarmed and was rushing over, Ma Zhanshan In order to ensure that they could escape quickly, each soldier was equipped with two war horses, which also played a role at this time, and their speed was getting faster and faster.
At this time, the Russian army was also completely alarmed, those political prisoners were all powerful figures, and if they ran out of one or two, they could set off a lot of turmoil, and now they are all gone, isn't it fatal, so these Russians are all desperately chasing after the culprit.
They kept a distance of one or two kilometers from the Feng army, and they couldn't shoot at all, so the Russians could only continue to pursue. At this time, a large area of mud appeared in front, and the Feng army made a detour, and the Russians behind did not see clearly at all due to the distance, and they all rushed in stunned.
Then the gang felt that something was wrong, the ground under their feet kept sinking, and the thick mud trapped all the horse's legs, and they couldn't move, and the cavalry behind them was too fast to contain it at all, and they all crashed in at once, like dumplings, and people were piled together.
Apparently the Russians had fallen into a swamp in a panic, and the swamps were common in the northeastern Sanjiang Plain, which stretched in the direction of Russia, and the speed of these Russians was seriously affected, and by the time they were waiting for them to regroup, the sound of the horses' hooves had disappeared......
"Mr. Ivanov, let me introduce myself first, I am Zhang Tinglan, the supervisor of the Middle East Road, and I also arranged for people to rescue you, I hope we can sit together and have a talk."
After Ivanov was rescued, he suffered a lot of bumps along the way, and his heart was full of doubts, at first he only regarded it as an action planned by comrades in the party, but these people did not speak, nor did they have any intention of intimacy, they were completely strangers, and the direction of escape with him was not the interior of Russia, but all the way to the west, which was the direction of China, which puzzled him.
Now that he finally met Zhang Tinglan, Ivanov came to his senses completely, but then he had even more doubts, how could China's high-ranking officials target him, and what they planned to do, Ivanov had a hundred question marks in his heart.
"Your Excellency General, I am in prison, and I have heard that the Chinese side has recovered the Middle East Road, and there is still a battle with Russia, what are your plans to rescue me now?"
"I didn't expect that Mr. Ivanov could be so well-informed in prison, it's really amazing. I want to help you out, I want to talk to you about cooperation, you help me, I will provide you with everything you want, including funds, troops, weapons, intelligence, etc., in short, everything that can make you stronger, I will provide you. ”
As soon as Ivanov heard Zhang Tinglan's words, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, these things did have a fatal attraction to him. In fact, in the eyes of the Russian leadership, the Far East is a colony, but this colony is a bit special and connected to the mainland.
Thus, in the Far East, the traditional Liliang of Russia is very strong, and the upper political figures here are more conservative and reactionary, which is very unfavorable to the work of the majority. Ivanov, after years of hard work, developed a very limited Shili, which was far from being comparable to the European part of Russia.
Now that Zhang Tinglan offered to provide him with comprehensive assistance, Ivanov was immediately interested, he was not as conservative as the Russian upper echelons, and turned a blind eye to the changes around him. Ivanov is very aware that in the past year or so, Russia has imported a large number of materials from China, and having such production capacity means that the Feng army has enough financial resources to support itself.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch, and since you can be so generous, I want to know what you need me to do."
"Actually, it's very simple, just do what you think, overthrow the rulers of Russia, whether it's a strike, or an uprising, in short, as long as the Russian Far East can be chaotic, I will make an assessment, and the more chaos you make in Russia, the more assistance you will be able to get."
Ivanov couldn't help but lower his head, thought about Zhang Tinglan's suggestion, and showed a look of embarrassment on his face, he said: "Your Excellency, General, thank you very much for saving me, but this cannot be a reason for me to betray my motherland." ”
"I think you misunderstood, the Chinese do not want to occupy an inch of Russian land, what we want to get back is only Chinese things, such as the Middle East Road, which is a product of Russian colonization, we must take it back, and we are happy to see the emergence of a new, more peace-loving Russian regime." If you think this is a traitor, then you should be loyal to the Tsar now and fight for the Tsar Bixia and the Germans, instead of starting a revolution and overthrowing the Tsar. ”
In fact, most of the parties are very pragmatic, and their leaders also accepted German funding before returning home to launch an uprising! Ivanov also supported the idea that the majority party must be good at exploiting the contradictions between the imperialist countries in order to develop and strengthen itself.
In Ivanov's view, China will certainly not be able to withstand the pressure of Russia at present, so it will think of letting Russia have internal turmoil, and then take the opportunity to consolidate its domination over the Middle Road, as for the greater ambitions of the Chinese, Ivanov did not think at all, such a divided China, even if Russia declines, there is no need to worry about the threat of China.
"Your Excellency, General, I agree with your proposal, how much help can you provide at the moment?"
"Two thousand rifles, five hundred thousand funds, you can also arrange manpower to develop armed liliang among the Russian diaspora, and the soldiers captured by the Middle East Road can also provide you, of course, if you want more help, you must make greater achievements."
After Ivanov heard this, he was finally completely moved, the Far East is intertwined, there are many shili of all kinds, if there are two thousand well-trained soldiers, it will definitely be able to set off a huge storm, he thought about it and thought, and finally nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Ivanov, I still need you to make a statement that you are responsible for the recent attacks along the Russian route, you can raise a banner, that is, the Free Army of the Far East, what do you think?"
"Absolutely!"
The two reached a cooperation agreement, and Zhang Tinglan had one more card in his hand, and the role that this card could play in the next complete chaos in Russia would be immeasurable.
After sending Ivanov away, Jiang Dengxuan came over in a panic and put a piece of information in front of Zhang Tinglan.
"Commander-in-chief, the Russians have issued an ultimatum to the Beiyang government, demanding that Duan Qirui must order the Feng army to hand over the Middle East Road, otherwise they will use force against the Feng army, our Prime Minister Duan is soft again, let us have a good talk with the Russians, what do you think?"
"What else can I do, Duan Qirui has no bones, we can't coax it!" (To be continued......)
