Sandaogou was once again subjected to a fire disaster. This time the flames devoured the houses of local people. The flames emerged from every gap in the house. The thick smoke covered the sky and the sun and the sun had not dissipated for three days.

At the same time, Etolin sent all cavalry to expand the search range, looking for traces of the damn volunteers. All Russian checkpoints and military camps were dispatched throughout the east bank of the Ussuri River, searching for those sneak attackers all over the world.

After all, the Russians have been operating this land for seven years, and they have troops stationed in key transportation roads, bridges, and dangerous mountain passes. Although this large net is sparse, it has taken shape.

In ten days, Etolin's soldiers had captured the enemy's traces three times, but unfortunately these cunning Chinese people did not entangle with them at all. They just broke out of the battle and fled into the primeval forest after a brief conflict.

Atolin was almost mad. Every time the main force arrived, what was left behind was just a few Russian corpses and a mess, and the volunteers did not leave any clues for them.

Looking at the layers of distant mountains and dense forests, Aitolin did not dare to go deeper, he knew that these people must have the help of local hunters, so he dared to go deeper into the primitive jungle that was rarely visited. He did not dare to take such a risk.

The Russian army, who was in a state of anger, began to retaliate against the innocent people. A large number of people were massacred and captured in efforts. Villages were burned by fire. The conflict between the Far East remnants and the Russian rulers became even more intensified.

In the following half month, more than a dozen violent incidents of attacking single Russian troops occurred on the east bank of the Ussuri River. In the last few days, there was even a fierce conflict in which Russian troops, one squad and one platoon, were ambushed by the volunteers, and more than half of them were injured and killed.

There was an unsolvable cycle of conflict, suppression, and then conflict and suppression in the entire Far East. In the autumn of 1868, the Russian army in the Far East was completely surrounded by this people's war.

Just when Atolin was furious and wanted to expand the battle, the first blizzard in the Far East unexpectedly encountered, and the temperature dropped sharply to more than minus twenty degrees Celsius. The bad weather finally made both sides temporarily choose to cease.

In the Qing Dynasty, Jilin Province, in the Ningguta General's Mansion, the Ningguta General Hunchun of the Qing Dynasty was sitting in the winter room with a worried face. Four side dishes were placed on the round table in front of him, and a pot of wine was warmed in the middle. Looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Hunchun frowned and had not moved his chopsticks for a long time.

A letter from his boss, Heilongjiang General Tepxin, was placed on the table. The words were strong and bad. Tepxin asked him to close all the passes on the Ussuri River throughout the winter, prohibiting the Qing dynasties from entering and leaving the other side, and not allowing any business.

Isn't this a life-threatening thing? Both sides of the Ussuri River are the same as one ancestor. For thousands of years, they have been intermarriage, trade, and speaking the same language. How can they be cut off? But he knew that Tepchen also had difficulties, because the Russian brother Tyachchenko, who had posted six consecutive articles, each time he was tougher than each time.

The Battle of Sandaogou has shocked the entire pass. Now the people in the west of Ussuri River have caused a sensation. They can't believe that the cruel Russians were killed more than a thousand people in one breath, but the villagers who ran back secretly confirmed this. There are even a small number of Sandaogou people who come here to take refuge. They are all witnesses who have attended the public trial meeting.

The rumors were verified, and the whole people were in a state of excitement. These Russians have not been a thing since the Kangxi period. Who has not suffered any harm in the people outside the pass? Now there are volunteers venting their anger for everyone, and everyone excitedly yelled at their necks, and the sales of alcohol in the villages have suddenly doubled.

Hunchun was also very excited at first. Cutting land compensation for seven years ago was a shame for them to never forget. The court was weak, but the men outside the pass were not timid. At that time, generals garrisoned from various places outside the pass once jointly wrote a letter begging the court not to ced the land, and even if they paid too much money, they would not be able to cut off their ancestors' land!

But there was no way. At that time, the city of Beijing was occupied by foreigners. Xianfeng died and the new king was still young. The court had no way to do so. He could only swallow his anger with blood in his mouth.

Now someone vents anger for everyone. Hunchun doesn't say anything, but he's already happy, but he only has a short time to have fun, and then the trouble comes.

Tyachenko wrote to Heilongjiang General Tepxin in succession, insisting between the lines that the Qing Dynasty secretly supported the Far East rebellion, the Qing Dynasty organized those militants, and the Qing Dynasty planned the entire operation.

Russia maintains the power to resolve the matter by force and has now sent the Sandaogou tragedy to Moscow and Beijing. They want to internationalize and expand this matter.

The diplomatic documents actually threatened the Qing Dynasty arrogantly. If the Qing Dynasty did not stop these conspiracies and rebellions immediately, then the 30,000 Cossacks in the Far East would enter a state of war. They would also draw 50,000 elite troops from the Baikal area, and even draw troops to the Caucasus region. They would form a 100,000 Cossack army to fully think that the Qing Dynasty would start war and fight until Shanhaiguan.

It's so arrogant! It's so arrogant. Tepuxin is as angry as Hunchun. At that moment, they really wanted to mobilize all the troops outside the pass to fight with the Russians, fight them to fight them out of the white mountains and black waters, and restore the boundary that Emperor Kangxi had set back then.

But can this battle really be fought? After calming down, the two fell into deep thought.

The court has not paid full military pay for more than ten consecutive years. Everyone understands the reason. The south is full of long hair, and the people outside the imperial court have no money to understand. Life will be a little harder.

But the army is not a commoner's life. You can save as much food, clothing and expenses as possible in life. If you don't have meat, we eat pickles. If you don't have enough money, we won't buy new clothes. If you can make up for it, just make up for it. So can we make up for it?

What foreign guns did the Russians use? What weapons did the Eight Banners defenders use outside the pass? The enemy's cannons were already purely blooming bullets. The Eight Banners also used red cannons, and they were also shot solid bullets.

This is an unavoidable gap in strength. Hunchun and the others are like Mingjing. If a conflict breaks out, let alone 30,000 Russians, even if ten thousand fully armed Cossacks come over, the Eight Banners soldiers will not be able to resist it.

If it really makes a fuss to that point, it’s nothing to lose one’s head. If the court cedes a few more pieces of land, it would be a shame to our ancestors.

Hunchun slapped the table with a bang and knocked over the wine pot. "Damn it, is this volunteer army a god on that road? Mom, you're so fun..."

At this moment, the butler's anxious voice came from outside the door, "General, there are guests outside, we dare not stop us from rushing to the second door now..."

"What? Who is so brave!" Hunchun was furious. Mobile phone users should visit http://m.piaotian.net
