The Nerbu Tide River is destined to become a permanent memory in history, just like the nearby city of Nerchinsk.【】
When Golo led a musketry team of 500 people, a thousand Cossack cavalry and a thousand Buryat Mongolian auxiliary troops to the river that nourished Nerchinsk, he saw several camps on the other side.
Big black flags stood in front of the military camp in the wind. Under the black flags were teams of well-ordered gunmen. At this moment, their eyes were all staring at the other side of the river. There was no humility or fear on their faces, but just...
Firmness and perseverance, but also a hint of contempt.
Goro was surprised by the miles of tents and the well-ordered firecrackers. When he arrived, he was mentally prepared, but he did not expect that these eastern natives were equipped with firecrackers like the Russian team.
He was not using bows, arrows and spears like those arrogant Qing people. But his surprise was far more than that. Just when he was observing how many gunmen there were on the other side, Andre beside him suddenly pointed at a man two or three miles away.
Tuan Heiying exclaimed in a low voice: "Your Majesty the Governor, Cavalry!"
Goro turned his head when he heard this. Sure enough, there was a black shadow on the distant horizon approaching quickly. The vibrations coming from the earth convinced him that it was a large number of cavalry.
"You're not here for us!"
Seeing that the cavalry suddenly turned towards the camp on the opposite side of the Niebu River, which flowed not very deep, Andrei breathed a sigh of relief and signaled the Cossacks and Buryats to lift their guard. He said to the Governor with some concern:
"It seems that the strength of these natives is not inferior to ours. For the safety of the Governor, I suggest that you leave and return to the city immediately!"
"No."
Goro shook his head: "If these natives want to take action, the cavalry just came directly to us." After a pause, he nodded and praised: "From their camp, the leader of these natives is a man who knows how to run an army.
He's such a good person, I've always underestimated him."
Andre didn't think so. The soldier's intuition made him realize that this place was very dangerous. He didn't expect that the leader of the indigenous people actually brought cavalry here. If it were just those gunmen, relying on the Russians' good fighting skills, he believed that it would not take a few
Volleyball fire can defeat these natives who may not even know how to shoot, but now the opponent has no less than a thousand cavalry, so it is hard to say whether the outcome will be better or worse. He believes in the fighting power of the Cossacks, but those Bria
The morale of Te's people was really doubtful. To be on the safe side, he thought it would be better to advise the Governor to go back first and move the negotiation venue to the city. Then he would not be afraid of the threat of these natives. Just when he was about to speak, he saw someone on the other side of the river.
Suddenly, six fast horses came running, with the leading knight holding a big red flag.
"Is this the person who is here, Lord Golo, the former Minister of the Russian Empire?"
Ge Feihu, who was ordered to come to greet the Rakshasa people, looked at the Rakshasa people opposite with an arrogant look. Another rider beside him was a Daur soldier who knew Russian and was responsible for translating his words to the other party.
After listening to the other party's translation, Goro nodded to a Nerchinsk official next to him. The other party immediately took a few steps forward and replied: "Yes, our Lord Governor is stationed in the Eastern Nerchinsk by His Majesty the Tsar."
Governor Plenipotentiary, now come to meet with your leader to resolve the dispute between the two parties. Please go back and inform your leader to come out and meet with our Lord Governor! Otherwise, we will treat this negotiation as if you are not sincere!"
After listening to the translation, Ge Fei glanced at Goluo who was facing him, and said disdainfully: "I'm sorry, our commander only asked if you were the imperial minister of Russia, and did not ask if you were the governor of Nerchinsk.
.Because Nerchinsk is not a place for you Russians. This land has belonged to us since ancient times and has nothing to do with you! Therefore, you cannot call yourself the governor of Nerchinsk! If you insist on saying that you are Nerchinsk
Governor Chu, I can reply to you now, our commander-in-chief will not meet with you!" Daur's translator translated his words intact. After hearing this, Goluo's eyes narrowed sharply,
Andre and others were even more furious: These Eastern natives have gone too far, they dare to despise the existence of the Governor! They are simply clowns!
"Your Majesty the Governor, these natives have no sincerity in negotiating at all. I suggest that this meeting be stopped immediately, and it will not be too late to negotiate with them after they wake up!" The Nerchinsk official who replied for Goro hated the arrogant Ge Feihu.
, asked Golo to stop the meeting. Although he was only an official in charge of taxation, he also had the arrogance of the Russians. Faced with the provocation of an Eastern native, he instinctively believed that this was a violation of Russia, the Tsar, and the Governor-General.
, an insult to yourself!
"Go back! Don't negotiate with them, let us use swords to deal with these natives for the Governor!"
"Don't negotiate, want war! Let the natives have a taste of the bravery of our Cossacks, and let them pay a bloody lesson for their stupid behavior!"
Dhruv and other Cossack officers all cursed and asked the governor to go back immediately, because these hateful natives were really bullying people. Just from the knight who sent the message, it was obvious that the other party did not really want to negotiate with us. In this case
, then let’s see it with real swords and guns! The Cossacks never believe in negotiation, we only believe in the saber in hand!
"You can go back now, but the moment you turn back, our Guan Ning Army will regard you as enemies and will no longer negotiate with you, but will directly attack Nerchinsk until you are driven out of this land forever!
"Ge Feihu watched the actions of the Rakshasa people opposite him with cold eyes, and suddenly said something to add fuel to the fire.
"My Lord Governor, please allow me to eliminate these stupid natives!"
Andre and Dhruv were irritated by the words from the other side at the same time. They both drew their swords at the same time. As soon as the governor gave the order, they immediately led their troops to eliminate these arrogant Guanning natives. Andre this
Hui Hui no longer cares about the safety of the Governor, he just wants to cut off the head of this despicable Eastern native in front of him immediately to teach these ignorant natives a lesson!
"No!"
Unexpectedly, Golo stopped the impulse of his subordinates. After several complex expressions flashed across his face, he gently reined in the horse, took a few steps forward, and raised his voice: "Tell your commander, Russia
Golo, the chamberlain of His Majesty the Imperial Tsar, is waiting to meet him."
After listening to the translation, Ge Feihu was startled for a moment, and secretly thought that this Rakshasa Governor was really kind-hearted. No wonder the commander said he was a difficult guy to deal with. When the other party retreated, he stopped being aggressive, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice.
"Please wait a moment, I'll send the message right away!" He waved the flag, turned his horse's head, and crossed the river back, followed by the other five riders.
In less than a moment, the sound of a horn sounded from the military camp opposite, and then groups of gunmen in black military uniforms ran out of the military camp and ran straight to the river. They quickly lined up in units of a hundred people, and under the order of the officer, they all
Turn around.
"kill!"
Eighteen hundred soldiers simultaneously let out murderous shouts, causing the Rakshasa soldiers' horses on the other side to commotion.
Amid the deafening sound of killing, Zhao Qiang, escorted by more than a hundred cavalry, slowly rode toward the river, facing Goluo across the river.
