After Lanpaozi was occupied in September 1859, it has been renamed "Good News" by the Lu people. Its current commander is Second Lieutenant Dupikin - the original Captain Bystrenko was unfortunately killed during the sortie. Dupikin

Jin had to take over this burden.

Like Bystrenko, Dupykin was also transferred to the Far East after 1857. Both were veterans of the Crimean War. They led their companies on an arduous trek on the muddy and waterlogged Siberian post roads, using

It took more than three months before we arrived in Nerchinsk.

Dupikin dared to swear that no matter what kind of Lucian hero, as long as he walked through this hell road, he would deeply understand the truth, "It is not that easy to make achievements!"

Everything that happened subsequently proved this point.

Although the rebellion in Eastern Siberia finally began to calm down that year under the tolerant policy of the new governor Pujiatin, after wars and rebellions, only a few tens of thousands of the original population of hundreds of thousands remained. Later, they relied heavily on food imports.

Due to external input, the finances had already collapsed, and they relied entirely on support from St. Petersburg.

According to everyone's opinion, in this case, don't mess around anymore!

But the general public did not care. The Yarrow War that started in 1856 was still going on. Emperor Alexander II and the governor saw the advantage and wanted to take advantage of it. So in 1859, the empire began to attack Wulongjiang again.

Watershed expansion.

It is said that during the time of the previous governor of Eastern Siberia, Muravyov, this indigenous tribe was very easy to deal with. Often dozens of imperial soldiers could conquer a tribe, and hundreds of heroes could take over this land.

But those veterans basically all died in the war, so it’s impossible to confirm whether it’s true or false.

Anyway, the current situation is different from the legend - the natives will run away when they see a large group of Imperials, and they will attack when they see a single one, and they never engage in direct combat, so they are very difficult to deal with.

And the most disturbing thing is that the empire has just started to change the muzzleloading rifles like the Minigun, but the savages have a handful of them. It is said that it was done by an English businessman, but I don’t know whether it is true or not.

Under the leadership of Governor Pujiatin, everyone worked steadily step by step. Last summer, they captured the town of Albazin, washing away the humiliation of 170 years ago. In September, they even captured this important piece of land on the other side of Aihui.

"Good News" became the new name of this place.

But that's where it ends - the Governor's Mansion openly promised to give the other side a chance for peace, but who doesn't know that the few supplies and manpower the Governor's Mansion has have been exhausted.

After that, the first batch of 400 people in the food collection team were almost wiped out. Captain Bysterenko was furious when he heard the news and personally led his people to take revenge. But as a result, he himself was shot down coldly, and the accompanying team later

It also collapsed.

I had no choice but to take over this mess, and fought several tough battles with these unruly natives, but with little effect - relying on the long range and responsible terrain, the savages fired cold shots with great joy. How could this battle happen?

Fight.

Fortunately, Governor Pujiating understood the situation and sent someone to ask the Tang government for mediation, so we had a chance to breathe.

He also strictly ordered his men not to attack casually. Even if two battleships were blown up by sneak attacks in winter, and people kept firing cold shots around the town, this did not change the original strategy - just wait for the spring to collect a batch of supplies, and then gather troops to suppress the opponent.

Without the government, these mobs have lost their support, and they will no longer be able to cause trouble.

"Counting the days, the reinforcements are coming soon. Although a large group of mobs are provoking outside today, you will suffer in the future!" Dupikin thought about it, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, there were several loud bangs outside the house, and he quickly picked up his knife and rushed out.

"This 6-pound breech-loaded cannon is really a good thing! No rifled cannon in the past can compare with it!" Takeda Feisaburo said while walking around the eight cannons, extremely excited.

But the gunners were too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to fire their cannons in full swing - this cannon fired three times a minute, while the previous rifled cannon fired once every two minutes. Of course it was good.

Something.

Egawa Hidetoshi knew that Takeda was knowledgeable, but Hakodate Mesuke Horihi definitely didn't understand, so he had to explain it - he couldn't help but didn't do this.

Hidetoshi and Hori Riki had a good personal relationship. In 1855, they negotiated to let Mr. Shiro run Soya. At that time, they gave him a decent deal.

Besides, after six years in the Northland, Yingmin also understood that although he was a Western expert compared to outsiders, when it came to being serious, he couldn't compare with professional technicians and could only be an "administrative bureaucrat" as Naohide said.

"——Yingmin is not dissatisfied with this. The technocrats do the practical work, and the administrative bureaucrats do the logistics. No one can do without the other.

Yingmin boasted about the thread-tight barrel, the barrel-tight barrel, the wedge-type breech block, the threaded breech block, the brown gunpowder, and the bitter and sour taste, which frightened Hori Toshi.

Amidst Yingmin's boasting, the Lu camp had turned into a sea of ​​fire!

In fact, Naoxiu and his party did not want to use artillery, because doesn't this mean that outsiders are involved - the "Sauron tribes" have mini guns, which is already outrageous. There are also cannons, and even fools don't believe that this is civil unrest.

However, military commentators have deduced that if there is no use of cannons or warships for bombardment, the battle cannot be fought except with human lives.

Winning is the last word, so everyone can only agree, "Use whatever you need to use. Anyway, Little John will take care of everything in the name of England."

Sure enough, the Lucians refused to fall for the trap of luring snakes out of their holes, so Naoyoshi Hori could only order an artillery bombardment.

Speaking of which, the firing range of these 6-pound breech-loaded guns is not much higher than that of the 3-inch rifled guns. One is 3800 meters and the other is 3600 meters, and the caliber is much smaller. As for grenades, one is 6 pounds and the other is 9 pounds.

.

But of course this is not the case in reality. The projection speed is different, the shell structure leads to different charges, and the charges are also different, resulting in the actual power being almost dozens of times different.

If the Lu people had not killed Lan Paozi, young and old before, the coalition forces would not have dared to fire so wildly for fear of accidental damage. However, it was self-inflicted, and the Lu people were rewarded for their evil this time. Choosing a place to stick to this strategy was a complete failure.

Previously, four Cossack cavalry companies of 400 people were lost in conflicts caused by food requisition. There were not many horses. Two warships were also damaged in the winter, so the total number of defenders was less than 800.

Surprisingly, no one broke out of the encirclement.

Originally, although the terrain of Yijiang was unfavorable, some people should be able to escape by breaking out from three sides.

But you were right not to be fooled by luring the snake out of its hole before, but you should have sent a small team to attack and contain it. How can you let the opponent have free time to build fortifications!

In fact, if the Lu people know anything in hell, of course they will not admit it - you are building fortifications 1.5 versts (about 1.6 kilometers) away, and the 12-pound forward-loading smoothbore cannon can't hit it. Only a fool would think of attacking.

When winter comes, all the reckless people will be beaten to death.

Besides, the 1,500 people we had before were better. Half an artillery team, one infantry company, four Cossack cavalry companies plus the navy, the regular soldiers accounted for more than 70%. But after many conflicts, the regular soldiers died quickly.

, the armed civilians ran fast. Now, the armed civilians accounted for nearly 40%, and the navy troops who came ashore accounted for 40%. How to fight this battle!

What's more, how can we say that no one successfully ran out? Among the hundreds of people who jumped into the river, weren't there some who successfully swam to the other side? But you are good, you are shouting something and smiling very kindly, but holding a wooden pole and saying

Help, but what’s going on with pushing the water into the water?! Deputy Dutong Guanbao Aihui, you are not being honest!

In fact, this really has nothing to do with Guan Bao, the idea was specially taken by Putin.

Didn't the people of Lu notify us last year, "In March of the following year, General Wulongjiang is invited to Aihui and his party to divide the boundaries between the two sides." As the acting general of Wulongjiang, Puqin, how dare he not come?

He gathered two to three thousand soldiers and horses, and arrived at Aihui City early, together with the 2,500 men gathered by Guan Bao.

Soldiers in one place.

Although Te~Pu Qin was a scholar who had never been elected to the imperial examination and his literary talent was open to question, there was certainly a reason why he could become a frontier official - in the seventh year of Daoguang's reign (1827), he joined the army and relied on his military exploits to make his fortune.

Therefore, Putin and Guanbao are both veteran generals.

But in recent years, the imperial court has been constantly deploying troops from outside the customs. Although the two men supplemented the number of troops and recruited some civilian warriors after taking office, their strength was not as good as that of the Lu people, and it was useless even if they had enough numbers.

Therefore, after the troops were divided into Xin Aihui City and a rivalry was formed, Te Puqin and Guan Bao looked at each other and sighed bitterly, "It's time for these two old bones to give an account!"

At this point, there was no point in hiding it anymore, so Guan Bao confessed that he had privately purchased weapons without waiting for the court's approval.

Sure enough, Putin heard that there were "a thousand rifled guns and twenty cannons." He didn't say anything, but kept asking, "When will it arrive?"

The big shopkeeper of Jili Warehouse didn't dare to hold it anymore - he only learned about the "demarcation of boundaries" afterwards. According to the customs of the Lu people, it was obvious that this was a war between the two countries. But the Laogou Gold Mine is now also

The investigation is clear, and it is indeed true. If he dares to run back to the pass, the four heads of the family, Zhang Wang, Li Hu, will tear him alive. It is estimated that the whole family, old and young, will not even be able to survive.

The big shopkeeper had no choice but to tell the truth, this weapon was not mine, but was given by a Guevara foreign trader, and it was also given by Guevara Jean when he left the customs.

Of course Trump will ask:

"Who is this foreigner from? What crime do you deserve for colluding with foreigners in private?"

"It is said that this foreigner sent guns and cannons to Prince Bodole Gatai. It is said that the four families of Zhang Wang, Li Hu and others are the handlers."

"It is said that you are a big-headed ghost. There are rumors about my family's business!" Te~Puqin also understood like Guanbao that this foreign businessman had hooked up with the imperial court and conspired with Prince Bodole Gatai.

This is great. With a head as big as Seng Gelinqin’s, with him in front of you, what do you guys have to worry about!

Therefore, the acting General Wulongjiang, Pu Qin, stopped interfering and privately let Guan Bao take action.

Guan Bao scolded his mother and continued bravely. Fortunately, the foreigner was still trustworthy and delivered the weapons on time.

In fact, the big shopkeeper of Jili Warehouse has been scolding his mother all winter - the boss ordered that if this big gold mine is real, then the foreign companies can say whatever they want. But there is no basis for this, and if anything happens, it is not his fault.

With.

But the gold was rolling in front of him, and he couldn't move away even if he wanted to, so he spent a lot of money spreading money to everyone in Guanbao and Aihui.

Guan Bao took the ordnance and then agreed to "Sauron's tribes raise troops". At the same time, he also opened up a lot of blank prospects for going out. Anyway, it was not his troops who died, so there was nothing wrong with taking some risks.

But when Lan Paozi started fighting, both Tepuqin and Guanbao were shocked - these "Saulun Ministries" were too powerful. What kind of artillery was so powerful? The usually rampant Lu people didn't even have the strength to fight back.

But no matter how you say it, whether the foreigners are at war with each other or the people are in chaos, the current hurdle is half over:

The foreigners who sent the ordnance said that the reinforcements from Lucia were only two thousand, and these eight hundred were destroyed in ashes. Two thousand is nothing! As for how to end the battle, we have to wait until we win the battle to figure it out.

To be honest, both Trump Chin and Guan Bao are considered among the courtiers to dare to fight, so they were put in this position.

Guan Bao was so happy that his men couldn't help it anymore and asked for orders to go to the riverside to help in the battle, so they "accidentally" drowned the Lucian swimmers.

On May 18, 1860, all the remaining 800 Lu soldiers in Jiangwanzi were wiped out - a few may have escaped along the river, but I believe they could not escape the search of the rebels.
Chapter completed!
