The speed with which the First Front came caught Akberil by surprise, and if the Chinese had given him two more days, he would have used the results of this small victory to boost the morale of the troops to the greatest extent and restore confidence in the Russian army. Just like what Yang Xiaolin did when the Russian army pressed Beijing City.

But Yang Xiaolin obviously didn't give him this opportunity. This guy didn't make a slight adjustment to the strategic deployment because of the defeat in the battle of Burhastai, and Zhang Zuolin was killed in just two days, which made Akberil have a lot of things that he didn't have time to do.

"General, the Russian citizens around Kulen are very panicked, more and more people have fled to us in the past two days, and the railway has been blown up by the Chinese, we cannot evacuate these people."

Domliksava was originally just a text secretary, and almost everything during Rangnick's stay in the Northeast was handled by Rangnick, who was more like a laid-back Russian noblewoman. However, after some special training and training by Mr. Soldorf, although they were more calculating than the Chinese in that task, Miss Domriksava slowly showed her ability to comprehensively analyze, and during this period of time by Ackberil's side, her role had unwittingly gone beyond the scope of a written secretary.

"I think we must establish a non-belligerence zone now, and negotiate with the Chinese to expand the scale of the non-belligerence zone on the basis of the original scale."

Akberil's brows furrowed: "But the representatives of those Western countries have not yet come, and the Japanese side is not enthusiastic about this matter." When we negotiate with the Chinese, we are not sure of success. ”

Domliksava said: "General, we must work hard. For all Russian citizens who see you as the right and left hope. ”

General Akberlir was persuaded by her, nodded after thinking for a moment, and then walked around the room a few times: "Domliksava, if I let you go to negotiate with the Chinese, is it okay?" ”

Domliksava was taken aback when she heard this: "General, your decision is not wise, I don't think I have the ability. ”

Before she could finish her words, Akberlil's footsteps came up to her, and the general's hands were on her shoulders: "Listen to the child. I believe you are the most suitable person. I don't have anyone else to use now, Desi Kenshnovich with diplomatic experience is not here, and Rangnick doesn't know anything but drink right now! Only you! ”

Domliksava was still a little unacceptable: "And Mr. Soldorf, he can get here tomorrow night." You can let him do it.

Akberlir said a little angrily: "What's more, we don't have time. Like you said, the non-belligerent zone must be established right away! The size of it, and whether the conditions inside are loose or strict, may be related to whether the lives of many Russian citizens can be saved! I'm sure you can do better than Soldorf, because he has nothing but himself in his heart! And your kind heart contains all the Russian citizens here! You're going to do your best to negotiate with the Chinese, right? ”

Domliksava was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay General, I'll do my best." ”

It was the first time that Domliksava had led a negotiation on her own, and it was such an important one. She really didn't have much confidence in her heart, and there was no confidence in her words at all. Her hands were even cramped together.

Akberil didn't force him anything. At this time, the negotiation is actually a disguised prayer, and whoever goes may not be successful, so he will not give any orders to this Russian girl.

"Well, I'll get in touch with the Chinese right away, you go back and prepare, maybe tomorrow, maybe in a few hours you will leave, Domliksava, I can only wish you good luck, I hope you can surprise the Russian citizens here."

Domliksava was really nervous, it was different from the hunting game she had last time with the second pole, which was a step-by-step game where Soldorf forced her out step by step. This time, all the responsibilities were pressed at once. What's more, if she lost last time, it was only she who died. Just like at the last moment, she was caught up by the second pole, and she had the idea of dedicating herself to the motherland without regrets at that time.

This time it was different, she was carrying the lives of all Russian citizens in Mongolia.

She felt like she was helping and needed a man who could give her a solid shoulder to lean on. On the way back to her and Rangnick's residence, Domliksava decided to ask Rangnick for advice, and she hoped that her husband would give her a gentle hug no matter what problems the office encountered, as he did in the Northeast, and then confidently say, "Leave it to me, dear." ”

But when she pushed the door open, a strong smell of alcohol came to her nose. The smell bores her.

"Rangnick, Rangnick, wake up, I have something very important to discuss with you."

She shook for a long time before a drunken Rangnick got out of bed. Rangnick was haggard, his eyes seemed to be unable to open, his beard had not been shaved for a long time, and his clothes were wrinkled together, just like the same Rangnick he had been.

He still had the bottle in his hand, and the first thing he did after a little consciousness was to take a sip.

Domliksava snatched his bottle away: "Don't drink Rangnick, the situation is very bad!" We are facing a dilemma! I need your help, and the Russian citizens here need your help! General Akberlir asked me to negotiate with the Chinese, I don't know how to talk, I don't even have a plan at all! You teach me! ”

Rangnick burped and looked up at Domliksava at this time: "Negotiations? Looking for me? I'm just going to mess things up, you go find someone else. ”

Domliksava almost cried out to him: "Don't do this Rangnick! You can, you just have to wash your face now and tell yourself to work hard for our tomorrow. Like every morning when we were in the Northeast, you're the best. There's no one to help me but you! ”

Rangnick had a weird smile on his face, "I can't, I really can't." You go to Desi Jianshi Snowvich that bastard. He has always liked you and he will definitely help you! Also, even if you mess things up, you won't be like me, and that old man in Akberil likes you, and I can see it......."

"Smack!"

Domliksava slapped Rangnick in the face so hard that he was hit on the bed, and he actually snored after lying down.

Domliksava's eyes were furious. He stared at Rangnick for a moment, then said nothing more, and turned to pack up the items he needed for the negotiation. Then he left the room and closed the door.

The Russian citizens in Kulen were very panicked, panicking because they did not know what their fate would be. Those who know their fate well will not panic, such as Guangxu. Such as Zhe does not respect Danba.

When the First Front approached Kulen. A list of traitors signed by Yang Xiaolin and Yuan Shikai slowly spread in the Kuchao, with Aixinjue Luo Zaiyan ranking first and Zhebuzun Danba second. The colors of both names are written in red pen, just like the bright red that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty used to circle Zhu Dan, who was a death row prisoner.

Zaifeng, who ranked third, was written in blue pen, and this difference let Guangxu know that he had become a target of killing. It is impossible for Yang Dagui and Yuan Shikai to keep themselves alive, so even if the current situation is like this, he has no choice but to go to the dark with the Russians. There is no other option either.

So people like Guangxu are now much calmer than those Russians. He had already given an order for all the armed forces of the puppet regime to cooperate with the Russian troops, to obey the dispatch of the Russian officers, and to ask all the officials of the so-called Qing Dynasty to ensure the stability of the Kulen region at this time, and to meet the node of the war that the Russians spoke of with the highest enthusiasm.

Zhang Xun held the notice issued by Guangxu in one hand and the secret letter written to him by Duan Qirui in the other, with a smile on his face. He put the secret letter and the notice in front of Zaifeng: "Lord Wang, which one do you want to choose now?" ”

Zaifeng glared at him and pushed Guangxu's notice back: "Do you still need to ask?" I said, Mr. Zhang, the only thing I'm worried about now is what we will do if people from the south cross the river and tear down the bridge! ”

Zhang Xun was much relieved at this time, Lei Zhenchun had already promised him, but to be honest, Lei Zhenchun's promise Zhang Xun didn't believe it either. But Duan Qirui is different, first of all, Duan Qirui's position is very high in Beiyang, second only to Lao Yuan. Secondly, Duan Qirui's character is better than Lei Zhenchun.

Zaifeng's hand knocked on the table: "Lord Zhang, you have also seen Commander Yang's list, in addition to the above two, I can be ranked third." ”

Zhang Xun nodded: "Lord Wang, I really told Commander Yang about your matter, and I interceded for you, I hope he can give an answer." But this time Duan Qirui's letter didn't mention you, so I really don't dare to promise you anything. But I advise you on one word,"

"You say."

"In this situation, I'm afraid you have no way out, right?"

Zaifeng was silent for a while, and didn't speak for a long time. He picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, but he couldn't feel the taste of the tea in his mouth at all: "Master Zhang, maybe, the Russians can stop it?" ”

Zhang Xun snorted coldly: "Joke! ”

"I won't tell you about military matters, you may not understand. Let's talk about the current supplies of Cullen, you know this well, right? How many days is enough for the Russians to fight? Don't think that the destruction of a Qu Tongfeng is a big deal, a division of 8,000 people, the Russians sent 30,000 horses to besiege for 20 hours and paid more than 5,000 casualties, is this called victory? ”

Zaifeng sighed: "Alas, is there no hope at all?" ”

Zhang Xun didn't answer, in fact, not long ago, he also thought that there was still hope for the Qing Dynasty, and later when the Russians attacked Beijing, Yuan Shikai personally wrote a letter to Zhang Xun, telling Zhang Xun not to embark on this road, because this road is not passable.

At that time, Zhang Xun still thought that Lao Yuan was fooling himself at the end of the road. But later, the battle situation changed, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Yuan Shikai said was very reasonable.

Yuan Shikai said to Zhang Xun, it is impossible for you to restore the Qing Dynasty, because the Qing Dynasty was not overthrown by Yuan Shikai, nor was it killed by Sun Wen, and it has nothing to do with Yang fighting ghosts, he is finished by himself.

Lao Yuan asked Zhang Xun to think about three wars. The Sino-French War, the Sino-Japanese War, and the Gengzi Incident.

These three wars were three nodes, and at these three nodes, the Qing Dynasty sent itself to the grave.

The Sino-French war was won by the Chinese, but they still ceded the land and paid reparations. The French won without victory, and China was defeated without defeat. Yuan Shikai said to Zhang Xun, think about it, before the Sino-French War, although China was defeated repeatedly, when did you let more than 1,000 people run away with your hundreds of thousands of troops? In this war, the Qing Dynasty itself lost its military heart.

Then came the First Sino-Japanese War, the loss of military morale made the Qing troops vulnerable at all, and the attacks of small Japan on the ground marched all the way, and the situation of a thousand troops capturing the fortress garrisoned by the Qing Dynasty's 10,000 troops became commonplace. And what about the Qing Dynasty? At this time, he was still repairing the garden, even if he lost the battle, he actually pulled the general who survived from the battlefield to come out and apologize, and even Li Yuanhong was thrown into the prison by them and almost didn't come out.

That is, after the first day of the first day, Li Yuanhong became a mud bodhisattva, and many generals were like Li Yuanhong, and the Qing Dynasty lost its heart again.

Finally, there was the Gengzi Incident. First of all, they used those boxers to squeeze out foreigners, and when they saw that the boxers were useless, they immediately designated those people as boxers and bandits, and used their heads to exchange for the withdrawal of foreigners. Who are those so-called boxers? It was the ordinary people in the past, and although the Manchus made them return to Beijing, they lost the hearts of the people.

The heart of the army, the heart of the general, and the heart of the people have all been lost by yourself, do you still want to sit in that position?

Zhang Xun now thinks that what Yuan Shikai said is right, you have sent yourself to the grave, and no one can pull you out. So when Zaifeng asked him if he really didn't have a chance, Zhang Xun shook his head gently: "No." (To be continued......)
