Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

Mentioning this incident, his eyebrows became even more sad, and he sighed softly: "It's all my fault, it made our Qing Dynasty lose face. You worked so hard to win this battle, but I, I... Little Sanzi, you say, I Is it too useless?"

Xiao Ran shook his head and smiled: "How do you say this? A weak country has no diplomacy, and if the country cannot become strong, it will naturally be bullied and manipulated by others. How can I blame you? Besides, this game of chess is not over yet. For For us, the fun has just begun!"

"what?"

Eyebrows froze, a pair of beautiful big eyes looked at him suspiciously.Xiao Ran smiled mysteriously, and said: "You should take a good rest first, get enough energy, and I will take you to meet someone. By the way, you haven't seen a real foreign devil yet, have you? Well, the hair is red, and the eyeballs are red. It’s blue, with a nose as high as a poodle, and it’s as playful as a poodle! Go to sleep, and when you wake up, I’ll show you this new thing.”

"Foreign devil?! You, did you bring him into the palace?"

Mei was even more surprised, she dragged Xiao Ran to life and refused to let go, and wanted to ask what happened.Xiao Ran couldn't entangle her, so he pondered for a while, and said: "Well, let me tell you, you also have a mental preparation, so you won't be scared when the time comes. The person I want to bring you to meet is the emperor of the Russians, Tsar Alexander Second, the name is Nikolaevich!"

You, who are you talking about?Russia...the tsar, the tsar, is he in your hands? ! …

Mei, who was extremely weak, almost fainted again.

Xiao Ran was not joking, the Russian Tsar Alexander II really fell into his hands this time.And the person who kidnapped the Tsar was the No. [-] brother of the Daxingshan Special Forces!

It all started when Sheng Zuo led his team to defect.In this battle with the Russians, Xiao Ran had already calculated clearly that even if the Qing Dynasty could win the battle, it would end up being a puppet in the hands of Britain, France and other powers.China was the largest trade market of the great powers in East Asia at that time, and it also contained abundant resources.In order to plunder more wealth in China and ensure the greatest interests, the best way is to restrict China's development and growth and maintain the relative stability of power in East Asia.In history, countries such as Britain and France launched the Opium War against China while helping the Qing government to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This is nothing more than the reason.

Compared with China, the Crimean War had just ended six years ago (AD 1856). This multinational war lasted for more than three years and was also the first modern war in world history. In the end, Russia withdrew from Crimea. The Crimean Peninsula, giving up all occupied areas and the right to garrison the Black Sea, has come to an end.Russia's power has been greatly weakened, and it is not enough to compete with the British and French powers.

However, the recent rise of China, especially the budding of modern military, the development and application of new firearms, including the budding of industry, caused a huge shock to the western powers.This Sino-Russian war.There was also a dramatic one-sided situation. Except for the Qing government in the western Xinjiang region, which had no time to take care of it, both the middle road and the east road beat the Russians to pieces, and they were full of teeth.This unexpected result shocked the big powers, and they had to revise their China policy. The fundamental purpose is only two words: containment!

Xiao Ran saw it clearly.It is absolutely impossible for these foreign devils to allow China to develop unrestrictedly, let alone allow China to dominate in Asia.Therefore, although Russia can be won militarily without any effort, it will undoubtedly lose politically.

China's industrial revolution has just begun to germinate, coupled with years of humiliation and humiliation, the current national strength is not enough to directly compete with the big powers.That humiliating peace is inevitable.Of course, this was not the final result that li xuan wanted.So what else can be done to save it?

For a person like Xiao Ran who is slanted, despicable, and only knows how to stab a knife in the back and play dirty tricks, the most direct and effective way is to directly send the Daxingshan special forces to go deep into the enemy's rear, secretly sneak into St. Petersburg, and kidnap the czar!

In fact, this plan had gradually formed in his mind as early as when he went to Heilongjiang.After deliberating and discussing with Sheng Zuo dozens of times, he felt more and more that this plan was feasible.First of all, in terms of weapons and equipment, most of the Russians use smoothbore guns.Without the ability to shoot accurately, it is impossible to resist this special forces with top-level equipment and amazing combat effectiveness; secondly, in terms of transportation, the railways in Russia provide a strong guarantee for the rapid strikes of special forces!

The most important point was in the world military field at that time.There is no real concept of special forces operations, especially this concept of rapid raids over long distances.Therefore, no country would think of defending against such a weird and fierce team.For special forces, assassination, kidnapping, infiltration, search, destruction, rescue, etc. are also their housekeeping skills.The so-called surprise can win, such a team let alone a tsar, infiltrating into any country, kidnapping and assassinating any leader, is like finding something, effortlessly!

This is a bold, almost crazy idea.It can be said that there is no one before or after, and even Xiao Ran himself was very excited.After careful planning, Sheng Zuo and his party set off quietly on New Year's Eve and kidnapped some Russians as guides.Marched all the way to the city of Lucergis, hijacked the train from there, and went straight to the rear of Russia.

At that time, Russia's railways were not connected to the national network, and they were divided into three major regions: the east, the center and the west.Sheng Zuo led the troops to Bratsk, and then marched for four days and nights, bypassed the city of Kansk, and reached the West Siberia Plain along the Central Railway.In this way, I went all the way, and within a month, I crossed the Eurasian continent and secretly sneaked into St. Petersburg!

Russia had already laid a telegraph network at that time, and the information was transmitted quickly. Normally, the secret infiltration of such a force was enough to arouse the vigilance of the leaders.But by coincidence, it just happened to catch up with the famous serfdom reform in Russian history, and there were struggles and turmoil everywhere, and there was chaos.

Alexander II's serfdom reform started in March of the previous year.In this reform, Nikolaevich wanted to completely abolish the serf system, but did not dare to offend the feudal aristocracy, so he implemented a top-down, extremely incomplete reform.In particular, in order to safeguard the interests of the feudal aristocracy, he proposed that serfs should buy land to acquire land.Because the ransom paid by the peasants to buy the land was higher than the land price at that time, the total value of the land acquired by the farmers was about 6 based on the market price of the land at that time. :.No less than 20 billion rubles!Lenin later commented on this reform, saying, "When the peasants reap the rewards, they have already been deprived of everything."

The chaos brought about by the reform destroyed the previous sense of stability, and the peasant resistance in Russia became more intense. In 1860, there were 126 peasant riots, but in 1861, the year of reform, the number soared to three times!In other words, on average every day of the year, there must be at least one commotion!

Under such circumstances, the target of more than [-] people from the Daxingshan Army was no bigger than a gang of bandits.Therefore, the troops only encountered some local armed resistance sporadically. Until they sneaked into St. Petersburg, the Russian princes and ministers were not even the slightest bit vigilant.

Sheng Zuo ordered people to arrest the local guide.Under the cover of night, he quietly entered the city and surrounded the Russian Imperial Palace, also known as the Winter Palace, unimpeded.In the middle of the night, the battle started, and night battles were commonplace for special forces.But the Russian Palace Guards arrived

At the head, there were less than [-] people in total, and those who were killed by the brothers turned their backs. Sheng Zuo took the lead and led them straight into the tsar's bedroom.Poor Alexander II, never dreamed that such a ferocious team would descend from the sky, he was so shocked that he forgot to call for help.A brother had grabbed him to the ground long ago.Anyone who is dragged and dragged will be taken captive!

In less than a quarter of an hour of fighting, the hostages were successfully captured, and the team quickly retreated.After leaving the Winter Palace, before the imperial city guards stationed on the outskirts of the city arrived, Sheng Zuo simply plundered and set fires everywhere.This world-wide name, which was founded in 1703 and has a history of 150 years, has been muddled like this.The brethren took teams as units and acted separately, sweeping all the way along the Winter Palace, all the tall and magnificent palace buildings.First there was a massacre, and then a fire was set on the spot. Suddenly, the city was full of flames, chickens flew and dogs jumped, and crying shook the field.

Before dispatching troops.Xiao Ran has already given two orders to his brothers: first, whether the plan is successful or not, life-saving is the top priority, and no matter what, you can't spend all your money; second, how many people can be killed, the princes and ministers can You can tie as much as you want, but neither treasures nor women are allowed to be robbed, otherwise.It is bound to affect the mobility of the troops.Especially those Russian women, who are world-renowned for their charm and enchantment, I'm afraid these brothers can't control their belts, but they will miss a big deal!So on to that.Xiao Ran even issued a death order, he can only be killed but not touched, anyone who dares to stick a finger will be shot on the spot!

The military order is like a mountain, brothers, who dares to disobey?Each of them just stared at two red eyeballs. They burned houses on sight and killed everyone they met. Even dogs wanted to chop twice.How many years have accumulated grievances, the grievances of massacring my countless compatriots from east to west, today I have to pay back a blood debt!

Fighting all the way out of the city, I briefly counted the prisoners, including the Tsar and his wife, there were more than a hundred of them!Bringing so many people to the team is not a small burden. Sheng Zuo kept about thirty of these captives, those who chose luxurious clothes and shoes, and killed the rest!There was a clear gunshot, and nearly a hundred corpses fell to the ground in disorder.The remaining thirty or so captives were so frightened that they couldn't even stand up.

At this time, the imperial city guard brigade in the suburbs of Beijing had also caught up.After Sheng Zuo left a small group of soldiers, the rest of the brothers took the prisoners and quickly withdrew to the town of Elshmir near St. Petersburg.Here is connected to the Western Railway, and a squad of soldiers hijacked a train and prepared to retreat.

The team responsible for the blocking mission took advantage of sniper rifles and grenades to calmly fight.In the dark, the Russians didn't know the enemy's situation. Seeing the opponent's powerful firepower, they mistakenly thought that they had encountered the main force. They fired rifles, muskets, howitzers, Pichari guns, and light and heavy weapons together. Seeing that they had successfully attracted the enemy's firepower, more than 40 soldiers quickly withdrew from the battlefield in the dark and rushed to the town of Elshmere at full speed to join the main force.

Taking advantage of this time, Sheng Zuo ordered people to bury all the explosive packs they were carrying. With the sound of the whistle, the train slowly drove out of the platform, and a series of earth-shattering loud noises erupted from the station behind it, turning into a sea of ​​flames.

Encountered a surprise, the Russians did not wake up from the shock until the next day, and urgently sent telegrams to the various garrison troops to block the train along the way.But Sheng Zuo had already expected the enemy's eastward direction, and when he arrived at Sunset City, he abandoned the train and plunged into the rolling mountains.For the special forces who have long been accustomed to marching in the wild and are proficient in camouflage and lurking, this entry into the mountain is like a fish entering the sea.Russia dispatched [-] troops, and it took more than half a month to almost sweep the Knull Mountains back and forth, only to finally find to their dismay that the enemy had completely disappeared.

At this time, Sheng Zuo had already led his troops, sneaked into the West Siberia Plain, took a train, and arrived in Kyakhta.So far, this thrilling transnational kidnapping has been a complete success. The more than 20 brothers only suffered less than [-] casualties in sporadic battles, and the rest triumphed.In this way, the unlucky Tsar Alexander II, Nikolaevich, and more than [-] ministers or princes and nobles under his command became captives of the Qing Dynasty in a daze and were taken to Beijing.

After listening to Xiao Ran's narration, Mei was so shocked that he could stuff an apple into his mouth.Not to mention the corrupt and incompetent Qing Dynasty, it is unheard of in any country or dynasty in history.The shame of Jingkang in the Song Dynasty in the past was also due to the large-scale military expansion of the Jin Kingdom. Who has heard that an army of 600 people went directly to the capital of other people and captured the emperor's old man?For a moment, I didn't know whether to cry or laugh, to be happy or to collapse.

However, a clear conclusion can be drawn from this: Xiao Ran is clearly completely, thoroughly, and seriously insane!

Just when Xiaoganer couldn't bear it and was about to faint, fortunately, the experts from the Tai Hospital came for consultation, and after a lot of tossing about taking medicine and acupuncture, he finally woke up.Eyebrows and mouths couldn't be completely closed at this time, looking at Xiao Ran stammeringly said: "Then, the emperor of Alexander, you were arrested, wouldn't you want to start another dispute? Once the British and French foreign devils interfere , it is very likely that force will be used. What is the best way to do this! Can the trouble come to an end? Or...how about we kill him quietly?"

"Killed?" Xiao Ran laughed dumbly, seeing her staring at her two beautiful big eyes with a worried expression on her face, he couldn't help stretching out his arms to wrap her in his arms, kissed her deeply on the face, and said: "Don't worry, I've already made up my mind, this foreign devil emperor, I worked so hard to get him here after traveling thousands of miles, it's so cheap to kill him! We either don't play, since we play, You might as well play him a big one!"

"What are we going to do?"

"Negotiation. Didn't we suffer a loss in the last round of negotiations? Humph, what the Russians ate and took from me, he will spit it out for me! This time, let me see who will run away Come interfere!"

Xiao Ran suddenly became bright-eyed. He took out a notebook from his sleeve and unfolded it. The four large characters in front of the head clearly read: Sino-Russian secret treaty!

♂ Volume 8 in the harem ♀

→Chapter 132 - Military Alliance←

After turning over and looking at it for a long time, Mei was sure that his eyes were clearly written in black and white. It was indeed the "Sino-Russian Secret Treaty" signed by Russian Tsar Alexander II!

Just after reading the first two, I couldn't sit still.The first article is about territorial ownership and border demarcation, which completely overturned the ">:.order.The entire middle and lower reaches of Heilongjiang, including the first-line seaports adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, all the way to the Outer Xing'an Mountains, are all owned by China.The central part remained basically unchanged, but the Russian garrison stationed on the front line of Kyakhta had to retreat [-] kilometers.In the west, it overturned the direction of the western section of the border forcefully delineated by China and Russia in the "Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty" two years ago, and regained a large area of ​​​​the northwest region, advancing all the way to Lake Balkhash.

The second article is about war compensation.The compensation of 400 million taels of silver proposed by the previous Russian mission, as well as the right to build the railway in the Northeast region, must of course be all nullified.Xiao Ran, who has always been careful about calculations, started counting from the 29th year of Daoguang period when the Russian naval officer Nevelskoy led armed men to invade the lower reaches of Heilongjiang. It took a total of 13 years and four large-scale wars. A lot of lists were made, asking Russia to compensate China for military expenses, pensions, post-war economic construction expenses, war sequelae relief funds, mental damage expenses, etc., etc., too numerous to mention.This compensation alone reached a full 300 million taels of silver, and it was a [-]% discount and wiped out zero!

Of course, according to Russia's current economic strength.There is simply no ability to repay this huge amount of compensation.So Xiao Ran reluctantly agreed with Nikolaevich, allowing the rich mineral resources in eastern Russia to pay off the debt.

Eyebrow looked at the treaty, then looked at Xiao Ran, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while, shook his head and sighed: "Little Sanzi, you think this matter is too simple! Now the emperor of Russia. What is it that fell into your hands? In order to save your life, Of course, what you say is what you say. But you can’t imprison him in the Qing Dynasty for a lifetime, right? When he returns to the country later, this paper contract will definitely be void. What land and money, who are you going to? Regardless of the fact that it will not trigger a bigger war, this contract alone has no possibility of execution. Isn't it just an empty rejoicing!"

Xiao Ran stroked her hair, nodded approvingly and said: "That's right, my queen mother's sister can say such a thing, but she really complies with that sentence, it's called Shibie for three days, she should look at her with admiration. But don't worry, Then look down."

Eyebrow looked at his nonchalant expression, hesitated to speak.After unfolding the contract and looking down, his face gradually became surprised.When the overview of the contract changed, it was even more shocking.He closed the notebook with a snap, and blurted out: "Little Sanzi, you, you want to form an alliance with the red-haired ghost?!"

"Exactly!"

Xiao Ran Zheng nodded his head, and said: "Russia has a vast territory, and it is unrealistic to occupy it only from the military point of view. Even if it is to conquer the other side by force, the exchange is only superficial peace, and the fundamental problem is still to be solved." It can’t be solved. Instead of this, it’s better to form a military alliance with the Russians and join hands to deal with a bigger enemy. Russia’s geographical environment is special, spanning the entire Eurasian continent. In a sense, the The military alliance can also help us extend our tentacles to Europe and complete an unprecedented expansion of power!"

"Expansion? Little Sanzi. You still want to fight?!"

The center of the brow jumped up suddenly, tightly grasping Xiao Ran's hand, with a nervous expression on his face.Xiao Ran was silent for a while, then slowly said in a low voice: "The barbarians are suffering from internal troubles. For many years, China has been plagued by wars. If the country does not invade us, we will burn the incense. But the fact is just the opposite. The more closed and backward, the weaker and evasive, the more aggressive and bullied by others. The two Opium Wars, Britain, France, the United States, Russia , constantly encroaching on our land, killing our people, and plundering our wealth! If this continues, China will only be passively beaten, under the iron heels of the great powers, lingering, let others slaughter and even eat and carve up, and subjugate the country Extinction!"

After a pause, Xiao Ran said again: "I've heard such a saying: If you don't explode in silence, you will perish in silence. In this world, whoever is strong and whose fists are hard has the right to speak. The knife is my fish, so it is better to strike first, so that all the foreign devils will be afraid when they see our shadows. At that time, who will dare to bully us?"

"This, this, but..."

Mei has indeed gained a lot of knowledge during this period of handling government affairs, and it's not that she doesn't understand the truth of what Xiao Ran said.It's just a country that people are used to being bullied.

The crazy idea of ​​going to war with other countries in the sky, after all, made her mind for a long time, and then said with a worried face: "But the Russians have always been very cunning, how can they be willing to be manipulated by us?"

Seeing the worry on her face, Xiao Ran smiled mysteriously: "Does my sister think that I kidnapped the Russian tsar this time just to force him to sign the contract?"

"Ah?" Eyebrows startled, said: "It's not for this purpose, what else?"
