"Our Guan Ning Army came to relieve your siege of Yaksa in accordance with the military cooperation treaty signed with the Governor-General of your country. Now our army has successfully relieved your siege and fulfilled its responsibilities under the treaty. [ ] So I invite your army now.
According to the agreement, a batch of ordnance and food will be provided to our army. After a day of rest, our army will cross the river and go south, and your army will continue to guard this place."
Liu De, the guardian of Yakesa City, looked at Tolbuzin with a smile on his face, and the translator on the side accurately translated his meaning to Tolbuzin.
After listening to the translation, Tolbuzin and the other officers looked at each other, some of them could not believe their ears: When did the Governor-General sign a military cooperation treaty with these eastern natives?
"Everything you said is so unbelievable that we find it difficult to accept it."
Tolbuzin tried his best to sound very polite, because these indigenous troops are too powerful. Now that they have eliminated the Qing team Chen Bing under the city, they are still a huge threat to Yaksa. Before the opponent's intentions are fully understood, they still
Don't offend their kindness, lest you provoke an opponent more terrifying than the Qing team.
"Your army defeated the Qing army. For this, I and my subordinates are deeply grateful. However, as for the cooperation you mentioned, we cannot provide help to your army just based on your one-sided words. Otherwise, we will not be able to provide help to your army."
Your Majesty the Governor." This was a common agreement between him and Herschov and other officers. Since Fa confirmed that everything the other party said was true, he could only politely reject the other party's request.
After listening to Tolbuzin's words, Liu De smiled and asked his entourage to take out a bus and handed it to him. He smiled and said: "This is signed by your country's imperial minister, Lord Goro, the governor of Nerchinsk, and my commander-in-chief.
The "Treaty of Military Cooperation between Russia and China" was recorded in the words of both of us. I think this is enough to prove that everything I said is not a lie. Please confirm it."
"oh?"
Tolbuzin was startled for a moment, then reached out and took the document. Sure enough, in addition to Eastern characters, there were also clauses written in Russian. After a few surprises, he handed the document to several officers around him.
The officers gathered around him and stood up together, nodding their heads.
"Yes, we confirm that this is a military treaty signed by Lord Goluo, our country's special envoy to the east, and your army."
Tolbuzin confirmed the credibility of the report, and was also convinced that the indigenous army outside the city that had just wiped out the Qing army was a military ally of Russia, so his worries disappeared, so he said generously: "
Since your army is a friend of our Russian people, we will naturally help our friend as much as possible. I will provide your army with fifty muskets and fifty dan of grain to express our gratitude for your help."
"Lord City Guard, I am flattered by your generosity..."
Liu De's face showed a bright smile, but the smile quickly turned into dissatisfaction: "But you are here too, we have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and a mere fifty muskets and fifty stones of grain are not enough."
Our help is really too little. In the words of the Han people, it is called "a drop in the bucket", which means it has no effect at all. Therefore, I wonder if you can help us as much as possible? You must know that in order to help you
When the country wiped out its troops, we suffered a lot of casualties and a lot of wounded people, so it is reasonable and reasonable for your army to give our army the utmost comfort!"
Tolbuzin's face moved: "How much do you want?"
Liu De raised three fingers: "Three hundred fire guns, three hundred shi of grain, three hundred taels of gold, and thirty thousand taels of silver."
"One hundred fire guns, one hundred stones of grain, one hundred taels of gold, and one thousand taels of silver." Tolbuzin's tone left no room for doubt.
"Two hundred rods, two hundred stones, two hundred taels, twenty thousand taels." Liu De's tone was also decisive, without saying a word.
"One hundred and fifty fire guns, one hundred and fifty stones of grain, one hundred and fifty taels of gold, and three thousand taels of silver. This is the limit we can produce." Tolbuzin showed a sly smile on his face.
"make a deal!"
Liu De's face was also cunning. To Tolbuzin's surprise, this time he no longer negotiated the price, but agreed to the condition. He hugged Tolbuzin affectionately with the courtesy of a Rakshasa, which meant that
He said deeply: "May our friendship last forever!"
Oh, damn, why do I have to repay so much, this cunning Oriental? Torbuzina shrugged his shoulders, stretched out his big hand and hugged the wretched-looking Oriental man in front of him, and said awkwardly: "May our
Friendship lasts forever!"

"Commander, we captured a group of Han people!"
When Zhao Qiang and several of his followers were blowing the river breeze along the Heilongjiang River, Deqiu came over to report that the rearguard division had unexpectedly captured a group of Han people while they were clearing out any exposed Qing soldiers along the river.
Deqiu said: "The leader's name is Peng Hu. He said that they were prisoners sent outside the pass by the Tatars. They were formerly members of the Tiandihui. When the Tatars mobilized a large army to attack Yaksa, he and a group of his brothers were captured by the Tatars.
Zizheng was recruited to join the army, but because he could not stand the oppression of the Tatars, he ran out with some of his brothers. He originally wanted to find a boat to cross the river, but we unexpectedly caught him."
Zhao Qiang nodded and ordered Deqiu: "Bring them here, I want to question them."
"Yes, handsome!"
At that moment, Deqiu went to bring the group of Han people over. After they were escorted over, the leading man with a beard saw Zhao Qiang who was surrounded by people from a distance, and knew that he was the leader. After approaching, he made a compilation
He saluted and said, "I, Peng Hu, have seen all the anti-Qing martyrs!" From the piles of corpses of the Qing army carried to the riverside and the Minghuang flag stuck in the Qing army's camp, he said, "Expel the Tartars and restore China."
With eight big characters, Peng Hu knew that the army in front of him, which included many Han people, had defeated the Qing court's Northern Expedition army. He vaguely felt that these people should be related to Wu Ni, who was discovered after sneaking into the rear of Rakshasa last year, but he was not too sure. But
Since the other party is an anti-Qing army, the cry of "righteous man" is not in vain.
Deqiu shouted: "This is me, Commander-in-Chief Guan Ning!" After saying this, he wanted to order him to kneel down and kowtow, but Zhao Qiang waved his hand to stop him.
"Where did Brother Peng come from?" Zhao Qiang looked at the bearded man in front of him and secretly praised him as a good man!
Peng Hu did not directly answer Zhao Qiang's words, but looked towards You: "There is a Qing army ten miles away from You, with a thousand troops, and the leader of the army is Bandasha! They don't know the situation here yet.
, as long as you send a team of elite soldiers over, you can capture them in one fell swoop!"
"How do I know whether what you said is true or false?" Zhao Qiang said noncommittally.
Peng Hu raised his head as if he was insulted, and shouted with great dissatisfaction: "If you don't believe me, just kill me with one knife! I, named Peng, have never lied to others in my life, let alone helped the Tatars."
You are harming others! I am a Han Chinese, a man who is upright and upright, how can I do such a shameful thing as a villain!"
Qiang chuckled, not annoyed, but suddenly asked: "What is your relationship with Tiandihui?"
"In the next five rooms of the Huangtu Hall after the Tiandihui, when Wu Sangui raised his army in the 13th year of Kangxi, our Huangtu Hall, under the instructions of the chief rudder Chen Yonghua, gathered green people in Shandong and Zhili areas, ostensibly to be the one who robbed the rich and helped the poor.
Secretly, he was preparing to take advantage of the situation when the San Francisco army moved north. He didn't want Wu Sangui to stop when he reached the Yangtze River. This northern land was not affected by the war in the slightest. My eldest brother, Feng Laojiu, and my second brother, Chen Shengji, and I led the way.
More than a thousand brothers struggled for two years, but were finally besieged by the Tatars with heavy troops. They were unable to break out, and they were sent to the outside of the pass by the Tatars along with their families, women and children."
Hearing what he said, Zhao Qiang's heart was moved, especially when he heard Peng Hu say "Feng Laojiu", and asked quickly: "Have you ever been stationed in Songshan Fort?"
"How did you know that we were stationed at Songshan Fort?" Peng Hu looked stunned. He thought that Feng Laojiu and most of his brothers had stayed at Songshan Fort in Ningguta for several months, but how did this person know this?
When he was doubtful, his heart brightened: Yes, these people are Wu Sangui's old troops. Feng Laojiu once said that there were hundreds of Wu's old troops in Songshan Fort who rebelled and went to the north. Now, when they come, this army in front of them is
These Wu troops are old.
Zhao Qiang laughed loudly and said loudly: "It turns out we are old friends. I wonder how Feng Laojiu is doing now?"
Hearing Zhao Qiang ask Feng Laojiu, Peng Hu was a little angry and disdainful. He gritted his teeth and said, "He has been killed by me!"
"Why is this? Aren't you and Feng Laojiu sworn brothers?" Zhao Qiang was a little surprised. Since Peng Hu and Feng Laojiu were sworn brothers and they were both from the Heaven and Earth Society, this word of sworn bond must be very important. How could he kill him?
Where is Feng Laojiu?
"Feng Laojiu wholeheartedly flattered the Tatars and did not care about the lives of our brothers. I was angry and accidentally killed him. Afterwards, I took these brothers and fled. They fled along the river and ran into your people here."
Recalling the scene when he first met Feng Laojiu, Zhao Qiang believed that what Peng Hu said was true. Feng Laojiu was an insidious person, but the thick-bearded man in front of him was a rare man with a good reputation. After some calculations,
He said in a deep voice: "Okay, I believe you, so I will send troops to defeat Bandar Shah's army. I ask you, are you willing to lead the way for our army?"
"Why don't you want to!" Peng Hu shouted loudly, "If you don't give up, give me weapons, and I will go and get the Bandarsha head for you!"
"Okay!" Zhao Qiang shouted: "If you can get the head of Bandarsha, I will appoint you to the military position of a hundred households. I wonder if you would like to march south with me to drive the Tatars out of the original!"
"Resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty is my lifelong wish, Peng Hu, and it is also the wish of tens of thousands of people in my Heaven and Earth Association. If you don't mind, I, Peng Hu, am willing to be your pawn!"
Peng Hu was not polite. After killing Feng Laojiu, the Qing army could no longer tolerate him. This place outside the Pass was also a place for him to gain a foothold. Instead of leading these brothers to run around and hide, it would be better to follow these old Wu army troops and raise the banner of rebellion again.
, regardless of success or failure, he will always do a great job with great success.
The more than eighty old melon thieves brought by Peng Hu were also willing to join Guan Ning's army. At that moment, Zhao Qiang immediately transferred a brigade from the Guards Division and the Guards Division, led by Jiang Si, and under Peng Hu and others
Under the leadership of the leader, they rushed straight to the You. The Russian army in Yaksa City also sent a hundred musketeers to set off together. Tolbuzin's explanation was to better fulfill the military cooperation treaty between the two parties, but in fact he wanted to
Eliminate the Qing troops entrenched there as soon as possible so that people can quickly send the news back to Nerchinsk.
When Guan Ning's army arrived, Bandasa was furiously commanding his men to whip the old melon thieves who had not had time to escape. When he discovered that the enemy troops were coming to kill him, he thought it was the Rakshasa people who were coming, and he hurriedly commanded the forward battalion and guard battalion.
The Qing soldiers went to intercept them, but under the volley of flintlock guns, more than a hundred Qing soldiers fell immediately, unable to resist and retreated. This time it was not an ambush of unprepared Rakshasa reinforcements, but an attack by Guan Ning's army.
A prepared attack, the battle lasted less than half a stick of incense before it came to an end. The Qing army suffered more than 600 casualties, dozens of them fled to the dense forest, and the rest abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
On the fifth day of June, Zhao Qiang ordered the entire army to cross the river. For a time, the surface of the Yaksa River and the river surface of the Puzha Ferry were full of rafts carrying soldiers. Ai'ai also plundered a dozen small boats and came to help transport troops.
