Road to Shunzhi

Chapter 117

The invasion of Tsarist Russia can't be completely blamed on them.The territory of Tsarist Russia is very large, bordering on Europe.Originally, Tsarist Russia was very proud of its vast territory, but when Europe went to war, the disadvantages of bordering were reflected.

There are no strict border regulations these days, and the common people must go wherever they want to settle down, fleeing to Tsarist Russia one after another, causing the burden on Tsarist Russia to increase sharply.However, the geographical location of Tsarist Russia is not so superior. The vast Siberia is simply a barren land. The level of manpower is low, and mining is hard work, and no one is willing to do it.Therefore, the general influx of European refugees has resulted in the robbing of the local people's not-so-rich living supplies.

Hit him!Everyone is very uncivilized, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say.As a result, Tsarist Russia suffered a disadvantage.

It's actually very simple.For these fleeing people who have left their homes, this is the last place they can stay, and they will naturally fight with their lives, but the people of Tsarist Russia do not have this spirit, so they are naturally not their opponents.The site was robbed, things were robbed, what should I do?Steal someone else's!

Look left and right in Tsarist Russia. Europe is at war, and China is better. It is so rich that even the tribes of Mongolia have fat and strong horses and fat and fresh lambs. People are too greedy to see it, so grab it.Anyway, the Sino-Russian border is quite long. There are soldiers stationed in Ninguta, but it doesn’t mean they are everywhere. Let’s play guerrilla warfare.

So, a guy named Chernigovsky led hundreds of soldiers under him and began to harass Mongolia along the Ude River Basin. The local villagers would naturally fight back, but how could they be the opponents of those armed soldiers? After snatching a pass, he asked the court for help.

Suo'etu and Tong Guowei asked themselves to lead the army, and Fulin agreed. They took a thousand cavalry and marched lightly. They first arrived at Genhe, stationed there, and then learned about the situation with the local villagers. They also had a headache for this kind of guerrilla. .And Tsarist Russia had suffered defeats in the past, and they learned a lot of wisdom from the experience. They did not dare to expose their nests, but hid in the jungle. It is unlikely that they would directly search their homes, let alone With bulky large artillery.Suo and Tong discussed it and decided to adopt the strategy of waiting for rabbits.

Just when the weather turned cooler, the Northeast has begun to snow.Usually, at this time of year, the men in the village would go hunting in the mountains, and the women would pack up hay and firewood, trying to get everything so that they could cat winter in the house.This is what the Tsarist Russians were waiting for. They had inquired secretly, because they had been robbed before, and the villagers borrowed some young and middle-aged men from neighboring villages to help guard and hunt, and the defense was much tighter.

Chernigovsky held his belly and laughed: "People say that the Qing people are cunning, and I think that's just the case. Let's go and rob their neighboring villages. There must be only food and beauties left there now." !"

Everyone knows the simple truth that soldiers are precious and fast. The next morning, before dawn, the Tsarist Russians were dispatched in full force, preparing to go to meet a grand victory-then, they were abused.

Suo'etu's soldiers and horses had already secretly ambushed in the village.Thanks to the strict training methods of the Ministry of War, it is a piece of cake for the current Qing soldiers to hide in an empty house without moving for a few days.Tsarist Russian spies only thought that the young and middle-aged people in this village had gone to support the neighboring villages, but they didn't expect that even the Qing soldiers were hidden in the haystacks.

Chernigovsky was shot dead on the spot. Those hundreds of people went to grab things. How could they be the opponents of the Qing army who had been suffocated after a few days of rest. After being beaten to pieces, the Qing army even Still in time for lunch.The Chinese have a big country mentality, and the emperor himself is not very polite to foreigners. Suo'etu is good at figuring out what he wants, so he naturally instilled in the soldiers below a kind of "kill hard, don't be polite, foreigners kill too much." Do not break the law" thought.Even if Tsarist Russia was defeated, the corpses along the way were left behind.

The Mongols on the border hated these Tsarist Russians so much that they killed or buried them. They piled their bodies together and set them on fire. Tong Guowei simply killed dozens of captives in his hand and threw them in the Burn together.

It seems to be an international practice not to kill prisoners.If it was just a defeat, Tsarist Russia should not be too wordy. The problem is that they surrendered.

Tsarist Alexei of Tsarist Russia is seriously ill, and all affairs have been taken over by his son Fedor.Fedor immediately sent a delegation of envoys to Beijing to protest Tong Guowei's killing and surrender, and demanded compensation from the Qing court.

Tong Guowei and Suo'etu also got a lot of impeachments because of this, and the excerpts can be put in baskets.Everyone agreed that these two guys were busy. If it weren't for them, it would be the turn of those old men to point fingers.The appetite of the Tsarist Russian envoys was not small, and they demanded that China open the border, and demanded that the Nerchinsk area be divided, and the dozens of prisoners of war who died tragically should be compensated.

rely on it.

The envoy of Tsarist Russia, Nigolai, was not qualified to meet the emperor directly, and Jing Er, who was in charge of the interview, was very angry.After all, he was young, so he jumped up and yelled at Niguolai, citing scriptures and classics, which frightened the interpreter beside him: It's too difficult, it's a routine, how can he translate it!Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Jing Er glared at him: "You just say, they invaded our country, and it's their fault. It's no big deal to kill a few people by mistake during our resistance. If they don't accept it, let them continue to fight! "

The scene is extremely confident.He recently made up for the history of Western countries and the intricate relationship between them. He despised these Western barbarians very much. He made a comprehensive comparison of the power gap between China and other countries, and finally came to a conclusion: In terms of wealth, China has the advantage; but in terms of mobility, the West undoubtedly has the advantage.The Qing Dynasty was too big, the inequality of the rich and the poor, and the balance of the local development department would lead to various problems, but those small countries did not matter, their country was no more than the size of a government here.Therefore, when he saw that these small countries had colonies that were many times the size of his own country, Jing E felt bad all over, and his favorability for these countries immediately dropped to the lowest point, and the same was true for Tsarist Russia—of course, he absolutely Will not admit that he was greedy for those colonies.

Nikolai was furious.He heard that the officials in the Qing Dynasty were very polite and the people were very friendly. Why did he come here and see that this is not the case at all?Well, if you are not benevolent and I am not righteous, if you do not agree to our request, don't blame us for being rude!

Of course, you dare not fight.In recent years, Tsarist Russia has not even dared to harass the border.The emperor of the Qing Dynasty was too obsessed with vengeance, and by the way, the Chinese living on the border also learned badly. If there is a little bit of harassment from Tsarist Russia, they will report it to the officials immediately.And the government is also very creative.Usually, they can’t find the harassing Tsarist guerrillas, so they also start guerrillas, counter-harass and go back, and get double as much as they are robbed. The transaction is completely fair, and they have made it clear that "what can you do to me" face.

unacceptable!Niguolai finally found the source: It turns out that the princes of the Qing Dynasty were so ignorant!

Nigolai paused, and then secretly went to find the alliance.

The capital is an inclusive place, with mosques, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, as well as Catholic churches and Jesus churches.It was the Church of Jesus that Nigolai was looking for.

The Catholic Church and the Protestant Church are rivals in the capital, competing for each other's congregation resources.Catholicism came earlier, and the territory was larger, and Christianity was catching up.

When they were comparing each other, the Taoist incident and the subsequent anti-foreign incident occurred.Both churches suffered considerable losses, and they finally realized that in this miraculous country, they must be united, otherwise it would be themselves who would suffer.

The common people are simple.Since the Taoist incident broke out, they have held grudges.Originally, there were some Catholics and Christians who resolutely quit the religion. Their reasons were very good: foreign Bodhisattvas only bless foreigners. They are the people of the Qing Dynasty, so it is better to believe in their own Bodhisattvas.

Have you all forgotten that Tathagata and others are all foreign Bodhisattvas?The missionaries were almost made to cry by these ruthless, shameless and unreasonable troublemakers.They had no choice but to continue preaching without complaint: Daqing Fu, the believers here are much richer than those in their own country!

Then Nigolai came, with real money and a promise from the tsar, and promised that the doors of Moscow would always be open to the missionaries, as long as they would incite all the foreigners in the capital to riot.At the same time, he vowed: There is a Chinese saying that punishment does not punish the public, everyone makes trouble together, so the emperor will not punish everyone together, but take the benefits together.This kind of thing has all benefits but no harm, why not do it?

The missionaries were said to be itchy, but they still maintained the calmness they should have. They are not fools. How could Nigolai be so impartial, so he went to ask Tsarist Russia what benefits he could get.Nigolai pretended to be confused and laughed, but refused to tell the truth.

How could it be possible to hide it from the emperor's eyes, and everyone in the court who should know knew it, and they were speechless when they parted.

With Yue Le at the head, the sea ban order was put on the table again: Your Majesty, you are good enough to these foreigners, but they are ambitious and conspired behind the scenes to harm you. No matter how you say it, you can’t continue to be deceived, anyway, we are now The land is vast, the resources are abundant, and the wealth is unbelievable. Simply ban foreigners from entering and leaving, and drive all these ungrateful people out of the country.

The opposition headed by Liao Xia confronted each other: there are still a small number of ungrateful foreigners, and they cannot knock down a boatload of people with one stick.We in the Qing Dynasty were indeed rich, but a lot of money was earned from foreigners. If we drive them away, there will be fewer ways to make money. If the country is closed, where can we sell things at high prices?It's really not worth it.Why don't we drive away these bad foreigners and keep only good foreigners?

Neither of the two sides could convince anyone, so they naturally made trouble in front of the emperor.Fulin looked at them and understood.

——Liao Xia, Mingzhu, Fan Chengmo, Suo'etu and other close officials around him all had no background and came from grass roots.And Yue Le represents the vast number of Manchu nobles.When the nobles are overwhelmed by grassroots, they will naturally put up resistance. This sea ban is just a microcosm of the confrontation between the two parties in the court.The two parties are just playing games, trying to see where the emperor will stand.

Banning the sea is absolutely impossible.Obstruction means that Yelang is arrogant, it means backwardness, and it means being beaten, but the dissatisfaction of the Manchu nobles must also be quelled. The power of the Eight Banners is still remaining, and it is completely impossible to beat them to death with a stick.

Fulin turned over several solutions in his mind, but said to Jing Er: "Leave this matter to you, and let me know in the end."

Jing E only felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, but he was very happy in his heart: Of course he knew that he was a reserve for the crown prince, and it was time to show his ability!

The author has something to say:

At this time of crackdown, Mouxi is still insisting on updating the article, which is really the conscience of the industry.Also, articles related to politics and changing history are all included in the crackdown, but it is said that the time is in the Republic of China, and my place is still in 1675, probably nothing will happen, right?
