Chapter 33, history will never forget.
In 1894, in accordance with the 1860 Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing, the Russian official Ma Chunin submitted a report on the complete settlement of the "Manchurian problem on the banks of the Jieya River (i.e., Jiangdong 64 Tun)" and decided to cancel the Qing government's jurisdiction over the residents of Jiangdong 64 Tun and the right of abode of Chinese residents in the territory. Before and after the publication of the Macunin report, the authorities of Amur Province of Tsarist Russia stepped up the pace of encroachment on Jiangdong 64 Tun. In 1893, the Russian officers and soldiers "smashed the patch tun", destroyed more than 30 liquor shops, "gathered wine in the tun into a canal", and lost "more than 3 million yuan". In 1898, Russian officers and soldiers "investigated the people's household registration, housing industry, and the number of six livestock" in various banners in an attempt to forcibly collect taxes. The Qing government's Aihui authorities "assigned officers and soldiers to cross the river to protect the banners", but they were forcibly disarmed by the Russian army, which almost turned into an armed conflict. Since then, "the arrogance of the Russians has become more and more unbridled", and finally it has accumulated into bloodshed.
In early June 1900, under the pretext of the rise of the Boxer Rebellion in the northeast, the chief of the general staff of Tsarist Russia telegraphed Gorodikov, the governor of Amur Province, to "closely monitor" the border area of Heilongjiang. On June 23, 1900, Tsar Nicholas II declared the Amur Military District a state of war. On 25 June, the Amur Military District and the Siberian Military District simultaneously carried out military mobilization. On June 27, 1900, 16,855 and 9,515 reservists were conscripted into the two military regions, respectively, and military mobilization was completed in a short period of time. On July 9, 1900, the Tsar ordered the two Russian armies to assemble at Boli and Shuangchengzi respectively, and stand by to attack Harbin and Mudanjiang.
On July 15, 1900, two Russian ships, "Mikhail" and "Selenga", which had gone to support the Russian army on standby for the attack on Harbin, arrived at the Aihui River. The Aihui garrison "flew across to block" and the "Selenge" opened fire, and the Chinese troops fought back, wounding the "Selenga" and "Mikhail", killing and wounding five Russian officers and men. Gribsky, the military governor of Amur Province of Tsarist Russia, led cavalry artillery to the Russian outpost on the opposite bank of Aihui and shelled the city of Aihui. The Heihetun garrison launched a full-scale attack on the Russian army and counterattacked Hailan Pao, which was the so-called "Heilongjiang Incident". Gribsky used this incident as an excuse to carry out a bloody massacre of Chinese residents in Hailanpao and Jiangdong 64tun.
On July 15, 1900, Gribsky ordered a ban on Chinese crossing the river and detained all ferries, and the Hylando City Police Department began arresting all Chinese. On the 16th, heavily armed Cossacks and volunteers broke into the homes and shops of Chinese, and escorted away men, women, and children, even "the baby in their arms was forcibly pulled out"
On that day, a total of 3,000 to 3,500 people were arrested, and they were first surrounded by Russian soldiers in residential areas in China, and some of them rushed out and killed 50 or 60 people on the spot. Later, the men were transferred to the city police station, which could not accommodate them, and were escorted to a sawmill by the Chingchiri River that night. In the early morning of July 17, 1900, Russian soldiers drove all the detained Chinese to the Heilongjiang River, known as "crossing the river", in fact, driving the arrested people into the river and drowning them alive. According to the account, when the escorted procession reached its destination, "Russian soldiers armed with bayonets surrounded the crowd, separating the banks of the river and constantly compressing the encirclement." The officers waved their swords and shouted frantically: 'Shoot those who do not obey orders!' The crowd was crushed into the turbid current of the Heilongjiang River like an avalanche. Some want to desperately push away the flow of people and get out of the net; Some trampled on the women and babies who had been crushed and tried to escape. These men were either kicked into the air by the horse's hooves or stabbed to the ground by the cavalry's bayonets. Immediately, the Russian soldiers opened fire together, and the sound of gunfire and angry scolding was mixed together, and the miserable feeling was indescribable, it was simply a hellish scene." "While the women threw their children ashore and begged for at least their rescue, the Cossacks seized the babies, picked them on their bayonets, and cut them to pieces." After this bloody massacre, the Chinese "killed those who were seriously wounded, those who were lightly injured died in the river, and those who were not injured were drowned, and the bones overflowed, covering the river and the ocean." On the shore, "a mountain of 'corpses', mostly living people with breathless breath", were all "thrown into the river in one go", and a half-dead human raft floated on the surface of the water, tumbling and flowing eastward. This is the "Hailan Bubble Tragedy" that shocked China and the rest of the world
The "Hailan Bubble Massacre" lasted until July 21, 1900, killing more than 5,000 Chinese, and only a few swam to the other side and escaped. On July 22, the Amur authorities announced that all Chinese in Hailan Pao had been "purged." On July 17, 1900, at the same time as the Hailanpao massacre, the Amur authorities sent troops to Jiangdong 64 Tun and carried out "many sweeps" against the Chinese population. The Russian soldiers "drove the residents of each tun into a large house" and set fire to them, and most of them were burned alive. The Russian soldiers also "set fire along the village", destroying all the houses and shooting the residents, killing thousands of people in Bordotun alone. In the end, the Russian army forced "those who did not cross the river, regardless of men, women, old and young, farmers, craftsmen, dealers, and people of all walks of life, into the river, and only 60 or 70 people survived by floating in the water, and the rest were forced to drown in the river, and the floating corpses covered the river for several days." By the 21st, the Russian army had "completely destroyed all the villages of Chinese residents," and the Jiangdong 64tun tragedy had taken the lives of more than 2,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians. Ten days after the incident, the bodies of countless victims who had drowned at the bottom of the Heilongjiang River surfaced on the surface of the water and flowed downstream.
On July 31, 1900, the Hailanpao City Council held a meeting and authorized Gribsky to requisition grain and livestock abandoned by the Chinese residents of Jiangdong 64 Tun for civilian and military supplies, to auction off the property of the Chinese residents of Hailanpao, and to use the Chinese houses and shops as military hospitals and dormitories. All the pastoral property of the Chinese inhabitants was requisitioned and confiscated by the military authorities of Tsarist Russia. After the Russian army captured 64 Tun, it immediately used it and Hailan Pao as bases to carry out a brutal conquest of Northeast China. Gorodakov first sent Russian ships into the Erguna River, Heilongjiang River and Ussuri River, destroyed the Chinese Karen and villages along the river, and sent cavalry deep into the left bank of the Ussuri River to burn and kill. Then the main force of the Russian army pounced on Heihetun and Aihui. They "killed and burned all the residents of Heihetun who had not had time to escape" and "razed all the towns" with a population of five or six thousand. In the city of Aihui, "burning in all directions" caused "more than thousands of houses to be destroyed", leaving only a camp and a powder magazine for their combat use. On August 4, 1900, the military governor of the Amur Province, Gribsky, declared: "The former Manchurian area outside Jieya (i.e., Jiangdong 64 Tun) and the right bank of the Amur River (Heilongjiang River), which have been under the jurisdiction of the Chinese authorities in accordance with the provisions of the Treaty of Aihui, are the Manchurian lands occupied by our troops and have been placed under the jurisdiction of the Russian authorities. Chinese residents who leave our banks are not allowed to return to the area of Waijieya".
This is history, history will not be forgotten, this is the blood debt owed to us by the Soviet Union, we will not just calculate it, we not only want to take back our own land, we also want to fight the war on the territory of the Soviet Union, but also let them taste the taste of aggression, my ideal is that the land in the Heilongjiang River valley is ours, at least we want to ensure the security of our borders, we must give the Soviet Union an outlet to the sea, this time is our determination, There is also the fact that the losses of the Soviet Union this time are something they cannot afford, well, Boli is also ours, and after a month of marching, he officially started against the Soviet Union, and there is also what we just said to sort it out and send it to Shanghai to be published in Ta Kung Pao, the name is history will never forget, we must teach our children and grandchildren to remember the pain that has been brought, forgetting history is tantamount to betrayal.
The Soviet Union prepared 200,000 troops plus nearby troops and finally gathered 500,000, this is Jiang Qiang heard the news and said, it seems that the Soviet Union is unwilling to return the country, ordered the war to be fought in the Soviet Union, first take Shuangchengzi and Vladivostok, and then I will go north, this time I will take a road for you as a pioneer, and there are 100 special forces to act with me, this time I want to take back all the land of the Qing Dynasty, all the way to Irku, I want to see how powerful the Soviet Union is, The next day, all the newspapers in Shanghai published Wang Yizhe's article, which history will never forget, and at this time, the common people of the whole country hated the Soviet Union, a barbaric country, and the people of the whole country supported Wang Yizhe's military action, and the chairman of the Nanjing National Committee was also stupid at this time, and he did not know how to deal with this situation at all. Please go to Shanghai to receive weapons and equipment, from Shanghai to Jinzhou, where there will be troops to meet you, thank you for the great Sichuan soldiers and civilians.
This telegram has angered those warlords, damn you Sichuan is with a handle, then we are all bad seeds, all scolded Wang Yizhe, at this time Guangxi's clear code has also arrived, saying that Guangxi's children and soldiers will go to Shanghai tomorrow to the northeast and are willing to listen to Wang Yizhe's dispatch, at this time Zhang Shaoshuai is the most embarrassing, the northeast he will no longer have the military heart if he does not express his position, Zhang Shaoshuai will transfer two divisions to completely obey the dispatch of General Wang Yizhe, Yan Xishan of Shanxi also sent a division to Heilongjiang to listen to Wang Yizhe's dispatch.
This telegram war made Wang Yizhe look stupid, pointed at Jiang Qiang and said, you like to pit people, eh, I will also give you a pit this time, you should at least tell me, how can there be such a thing as you, Wang Yaqiao laughed, our country has a national hero again, Lai San is a fart in front of you, Wang Yizhe looked at Jiang Qiang with a wry smile, Jiang Qiang said immediately send a telegram to transfer the equipment of six divisions, so that I will set off to take Vladivostok first, Wang Yizhe said with a wry smile, then okay, just listen to you.
The chairman of the committee has never expressed his position, and he has no way to express his position, now several countries, including the League of Nations, seem to be impossible to stop this military action in Nanjing, as long as they support the military power of the Soviet Union, at this time the United States actually supports the Soviet Union 500 tanks, and 100,000 rifles, Britain also supports 200 million pounds to the Soviet Union, other countries have support, even Japan also supports a hundred aircraft, at this time Jiang Qiang looked at the telegram and smiled and said, it seems that Britain is still very rich, Arrange for a special forces brigade to go to Hong Kong to rob the HSBC bank for me, and send a telegram directly to Tang Juwu.
At this time, Jiang Qiang had already arrived in Jixi to rest for a day and drove to the direction of the border, the Soviets along the way fled to Shuangchengzi, and the people in the towns along the way ran away, there was no way, because the newspaper was translated into Russian and began to spread on the land of the Soviet Union, those Soviets knew that the Chinese people began to retaliate against them, and they couldn't run away, Jiang Qiang came to Shuangchengzi City, those Soviets were like a great enemy, Jiang Qiang looked at this Shuangchengzi city and thought in his heart how to avoid losses, Jiang Qiang was also afraid that the sacrifice would be too big and cause a bad impact, In the end, I still want to use the incense stick again. At three o'clock in the evening, Jiang Qiang personally led a hundred special forces from the east gate to open the gate of Shuangchengzi, and when he arrived at the barracks, he threw incense into the barracks, and after a while, all the soldiers were still tied up, and at six o'clock in the morning, when the soldiers at the east gate were still looking at the barracks opposite, they saw that the soldiers of Huaxia were already behind them. By seven o'clock in the morning, the twin cities were liberated.
All the important departments were sealed, and then a notice was posted, meaning that if you join Huaxia, you can stay here to live, and if you don't want to, you can go back to Moscow, which is two choices, and in the end, nearly 1,000 people are willing to leave, Jiang Qiang did not embarrass them, nor did he confiscate their private property, so he sacrificed 13 soldiers to easily solve Shuangchengzi.
