Chapter 532 Tsarist Russias urgent report

Pan Xiucheng scolded and became angry, and then told Monk Zhou that the military headquarters called him and asked him to report before 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Monk Zhou was confused after being trained and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Good thing!"

At around 8 o'clock the next morning, several strong hippos carried monk Zhou and guards with a sweaty face and entered the military compound located outside Baiboer City. A young staff officer who had been waiting here took monk Zhou to wash his face first and tidy up his military appearance. Monk Zhou felt that the bandage on his ear was too ugly, so he removed it, and then followed the staff officer to an outside door.

The young staff member knocked twice, and the door opened, and he immediately signaled Monk Zhou to go in by himself. Monk Zhou entered the house and saw that Zhao Xin, Liu Sheng and Fan Tong were all there.

By the way, Fan Tong's current official position is a political commissar of the Baikal Military Region of the North Navy.

"Report, Zhou Heichuang, the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the Third Regiment, was ordered to report!"

"Sit down!"

Monk Zhou felt a little upset. Pan Xiucheng said that there was a good thing, but what was the good thing?

Liu Sheng first talked to him about the night exercises, then nodded to Fan Tong. Fan Tong looked at Monk Zhou with a blank expression, opened a folder, cleared his throat, and stood up and said, "Zhou Hei Chuang!"

"arrive!"

"According to the order of the Northern Naval Command, Zhou Heichuan, the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion of the Third Regiment, was appointed as the acting commander of the 12th Regiment of the Northern Naval Army. Xuanyuan 4488 April 11."

"What?! Leader?" Zhou, who had been struggling for a night and a long time, finally heard the news that surprised and happy. His dark face turned red with excitement. He even ignored the Xuanyuan Chronicle that Fan Tong finally read.

After the train opening ceremony, Wang Zhong and Duan Yukuan found Zhao Xin specifically about this matter. Wang Zhong told Zhao Xin that they had already verified the year of the Yellow Emperor era and suggested that Zhao Xin implement it in Beihai Town as soon as possible to clarify the truth.

Before, Beihai Town had always used the Western calendar, and when Wang Zhong understood that the so-called Western calendar was the "Christian Era" of the Westerners, he directly criticized the absurdity. Wang Zhong thought that although Zhao Xin did not want to ascend the throne and become emperor, Beihai Town also had to have its own calendar. Wang Zhong advocated the pre-Qin rules and regulations. He believed that since all the money in Beihai used the portrait of Xuanyuan Huangdi, it would be better to use the "Huangdi Calendar". This idea was also approved by Duan Yucai, Hong Liangji and others.

After careful research and research on books such as "The Century of the Emperor", "Zhou Ren Jing Jing", "Huang Ji Jing Shi", and "Zizhi Tongjian", and the help of Wang Zhenyi, a mathematician who is proficient in astronomy and calendar, Wang Zhong organized his manpower for more than a year, and finally designated the "Gui Hai year" when Huangdi ascended the throne as the first year of Huangdi.

Because the 56th year of Qianlong, that is, 1791 is the year of Xinhai, and it ranks 48th among the stems and branches. According to historical records, counting the stems and branches 74 times above, you will get the first year of the stems and branches, that is, when Huangdi ascended the throne and founded the stems and branches, that is, 2697 BC.

In fact, Zhao Xin also felt that China after the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty must embark on the process of industrialization, and to inspire the national spirit at the same time; and the traditional culture represented by respecting Huangdi is also a kind of national spirit. Before coming to Baiboer City for a meeting, Zhao Xin signed the new calendar order, which stipulated that the Xuanyuan calendar will be changed from the first day of the fourth lunar month, that is, on May 1 of the Gregorian calendar. Compared with the people, the movement within the North Navy was faster, and they changed all of them almost the day after Zhao Xin signed the order.

For the people under Beihai Town, the familiar stems and lunar calendars have not changed, but the dynasty will never be seen in the announcement in the future.

The sun sets west and approaches the horizon, with colorful clouds piled up in the sky. The blue sky as blue as water, like a blue velvet, inlaid with golden edges.

Zhao Xin, who came out of the military headquarters, was touched by the beautiful scenery at this moment, stopped the carriage, jumped onto a black Wuzhumuqin horse, and advanced towards the third regiment headquarters in light steps. He planned to watch another night exercise for the third regiment today and would go to Pingshi City tomorrow.

When it was getting dark, the group arrived at the Third Regiment's headquarters. Zhao Xin did not ask someone to inform him in advance. He didn't want to make a big fuss every time he went down. Unexpectedly, before he entered the yard of the regiment headquarters, he heard someone in a yard opposite him sing a small song with his throat pinched his throat, and there was also the sound of pushing cups and teasing. Zhao Xin's face immediately drooped.

"My sister was combing her hair in the room. When she saw a lover walking outside the window, she hurried up to the embroidery building and put her hands on her shoulders. Why did she lose my letter yesterday? She was shy and was not shy. She begged again. She begged again~~~~The golden hairpin was held in her hand, she combed her teeth on the table, and she picked up a lot of dark clouds, and went to Fengliu~~~Hold hands, held hands, and went to Fengliu. When Fengliu came back, she was combing her hair, and didn't care about oily hands~~~"

"Okay! Lao Zhou sang this little song really well! I said, let's give him another cup!"

"Don't let him drink it, you'll get drunk if you drink it again!"

"Bah! I won't get drunk even if you bastards..."

With a "clang", the door of the house was suddenly kicked open from outside. Zhao Xin's guard walked to the door and said to everyone in the house: "Everyone! Come out!"

At this time, all the officers in the room were drunk and hot. They were very unhappy when suddenly interrupted by strangers. One of the company commanders couldn't help but open their mouths and scolded: "Bastard! I'll drink some wine, who are you? Um..."

Before he could finish his words, he immediately covered his mouth with a big hand. A figure at the door swayed, and Zhao Xin walked in with a smile on his face. Now there is a portrait of Zhao Xin from the company to the regiment headquarters. Although the founder of the North Navy and a mythical figure are not yet known to the extent of "asking for instructions early and reporting late", his face is well known.

Seeing this person suddenly appear, everyone hurriedly left the table and stood up, but most of them were dizzy and drunk, and they couldn't stand steadily; especially Monk Zhou, who was swaying and still had a wild flower in his ears.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Zhao Xin found a stool and sat down, looked around, and said with a smile: "Haha, let me introduce myself."

"North, Li Chunsheng, the company commander of the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion of the Third Regiment of the North Navy."

"Shang Xuewu, the company commander of the second company of the second battalion of the Third Regiment."

......

"Kang Youcai, the third squad, the second company, the second battalion, the third squad." Kang Youcai saluted and dropped the wild flowers in Monk Zhou's ear in one hand.

"Zhou Heichuang, the leader of the 12th Regiment."

After hearing this, Zhao Xin nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Sir, please sit down."

The words were very light, but they fell into everyone's ears like Huang Zhong Dalu. Their legs suddenly became weak. If there was no wall behind them, they would have collapsed on the ground.

With a "bang!", the dishes and bowls on the wooden table were shaking. "Look at your image!"

Zhao Xin's tone increased, and the anger in his voice became more obvious: "I want to ask, are you officials from the Qing Dynasty or the Northern Hai Army who conquers the world for the poor?"

Everyone stood upright without answering.

"As the commander of the regiment, of course you old subordinates celebrated him. But I didn't expect that it was so happy! Look at how much wine you drank, and you still look like a soldier! Especially you, Monk Zhou! He even sang erotic songs. Which regiment commander of the Northern Hai Army is like you! Does this still look like a troops? It's almost a brothel kiln!"

This afternoon, after Monk Zhou returned to the regiment headquarters to handle the handover, a group of officers from the Second Battalion who had learned the news decided to have a dinner to celebrate Monk Zhou's success.

Originally, everyone was just thinking about it and each one had a drink. Unexpectedly, Monk Zhou was very interested, so everyone gradually let go and went back to their residence to take out their inventory. Zhu Gaosheng came with one cup, Zhu Dazhan's grand plan came with another cup, and some wanted to follow Monk Zhou to the 12th Regiment to have a drink with him... In this way, one cup after another, Monk Zhou refused to refuse. Because the exercise in the Second Battalion had ended and nothing happened in the past two days, other officers gradually drank too much. When they were so proud, Monk Zhou sang a song that he had not sang for many years.

At this time, Monk Zhou seemed to be a little awake. His red face turned sallow and he looked at Zhao Xin with shame.

Zhao Xin calmed down and squinted his eyes and said, "Since there is nothing to do, I will give you something to do! Within three days, from the platoon leader to the company commander of your second battalion, everyone will write an exercise summary to find out their shortcomings. It cannot be less than a thousand words and send it to the regiment headquarters! I will also send one to me! If I find out whoever of you dares to find someone to write for you, then congratulations, Usolier's prisoner-of-war camp is short of staff!"

"yes!"

Kang Youcai said that he was the squad leader, and it shouldn't be his turn. Unexpectedly, after Zhao Xin finished speaking, he looked at him and smiled and said, "Squad leader Kang, right? Lao Jia, please write a summary of 500 words. Let's collect the opinions of your soldiers from the squad leader's perspective and sort out the opinions of you."

"Ah?!" Kang Youcai suddenly became a bitter face, five hundred words, which could kill him.

After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he stood up and walked out, saying, "Okay, get out of here!"

There was a starlight in the dark night. When Zhao Xin arrived at the exercise command post under the leadership of two staff members of the Third Regiment, a full moon hung on the hills in the east.

Two days later, Zhao Xin frowned and read the summary handed over by Monk Zhou and others one by one, and even a copy of Pan Xiucheng. The embarrassing story of his subordinates gathering to drink was caught by the boss of the North Navy, and Pan Xiucheng felt that it was unforgivable.

"Look at it, the things written by these people are just two words in the whole article, arrogant!" Zhao Xin handed Liu Sheng a stack of paper.

In the exercise summary handed over by the officers, and even the opinions of the soldiers collected by Kang Youcai, everyone's opinion is that the result of the exercise is not important; as long as there is artillery fire support, machine gun firepower, and even armored vehicles during combat, no matter who comes, it will not stop the Northern Navy, and whoever is arrested or destroyed.

Some officers even suggested in the summary that they would reduce the intensity of daily training, especially the five-kilometer running every day, which would be less than half. Whether it is the Qing army or the Russian army, no one trained troops every day.

After so many years of soldiers, Zhao Xin knew that the army must be healthy and proud, but he must never be proud. Since ancient times, there have been too many examples of arrogant soldiers losing. He led this team along the way, and he always fought against the crowd with few people, and he could not lose every battle, forcing him to follow him every time and be a "logistics captain".

Liu Sheng had already seen a part of it, and he took it to the table, sighed and said, "The weapons are too advanced, and they have never been defeated, and the battle loss ratio is too low. It is not surprising that there is such a mood below."

"You have to pour some cold water on these people, otherwise it will be easy to suffer a big loss." Zhao Xin said to Liu Sheng and Fan Tong: "The training cannot be relaxed, but it must be carried out more strictly. In addition, send instructors to the above-mentioned troops as soon as possible. The group of political workers trained by Lao Yu will arrive in another half a month, and ideological work must be grasped. Strategically despised and tactical attention will be taken, and this is always out of date."

Fan Tong nodded helplessly, thinking to himself that I don’t want to care about any political and ideological work at all. You, Da Qian, insisted on pushing me. Now, it’s all your business.

Zhao Xin said again: "I don't follow the Eastern Front troops to fight this time, just to let them know that in the desert of 1.8 million square kilometers, if you are used to modern weapons and equipment, once the logistics is not good, the guys in your hands will turn into fire sticks, and the cannons are not as good as scrap iron."

Liu Shengdao: "Don't worry, the Northern Navy will still fight without bullets. Even if it fights bayonets, the enemy who has to be killed will be killed and fled."

Fan Tong asked Zhao Xin with some confusion: "You really won't follow this time?"

"I have to guard the Yenisei River. Let's wait and see. Tsarist Russia has just signed a temporary armistice agreement, and they will definitely not be willing to do so. Even if the war is not started now, small moves will definitely continue."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! As expected, Zhao Xinyan said that the Tsarist Russian side has already started to take action.

On March 15, 1791, the 1791 Western calendar, Cheling Ubash, Prince of Heboksaliturutu, located in northern Xinjiang, reported to the Taishang Minister of the Tarbha, that in mid-August last year, a lama named Samairin, under Taiji Azara, left home to Karen and did not return, and now he suddenly returned.

According to the confession of Samairin, he said that he was captured by Kazakhs on the border Karen last year and transferred it to the Russians. The Russians took him to Tomsk, detained for a month and then released him back, and asked him to bring a message to the Qing Dynasty, and asked him to hand over a letter.

The words that Tsarist Russia told Samarin to return was that the Northern Navy is likely to send troops to Khalkha Mongolia in the near future, reminding the Qing Dynasty to respond early.

Tarbha Taitung connects Khalkha Mongolia, borders Kazakh nomadic land in the west, and Tsarist Russia in the north. After hearing Samairin's oral message, Che Lingubashi was afraid that the Russians would be cheated and notified his subordinates to strictly guard Karen in various places and strengthen defense. At the same time, Samairin was sent to Tarbhatai with the letter.

At this time, General Baoning of Yili went to Beijing to see that he had not returned. The position of General Yili was Yongbao, the Secretary of Counsel of Tarbach Taiwan, and the Minister of Leader of Urumqi, took over the Secretary of Counsel of Tarbach Taiwan.

After taking over the incident, Samarin first conducted multiple interrogations. Since no one in Tarbhatai could translate Russian, he sent someone to send the Russian letter to General Yili, preparing to translate and then interrogate.

As the highest military and political chief of Tarbach Taiwan, Te Chenge immediately took countermeasures. First, strengthen the inspection of Karen, and focus on inspecting Karen at the border with Russia in order to visit the news. Second, in addition to the General of Ili of the Commission, the Secretary of Counsel Wu Miwuxun of Kobdo and the Left General Hengrui of Dingbian were also transferred to consult.

After receiving the special issue, General Yongbao of Yili received a special issue and learned about this, he immediately replied that no one here in Yili could translate Russian, and asked him to resign the original text, Chen Yulan, and at the same time, he believed that Samarin should be quickly sent to the capital, and his attitude was much more decisive.

Seven days later, Qianlong, who was in the Old Summer Palace, received a 600-mile memorial from Yongbao. Qianlong's first reaction was that he didn't believe it. It was mainly that Beihai Town had a battle with Tsarist Russia in Siberia last year and had a huge territory. If he was the Russian Tsarist, he would definitely not be able to give up.

Besides, the Tsarist Russia matter has not been resolved yet. Annan’s envoy who was in urgent need of help had already left Zhennan Pass, and Ruan Guangping’s memorial had been handed to Beijing before the messenger. In that memorial, Ruan Guangping told the story of how the Xishan court was bullied by the North Navy in a sad tone, and begged the emperor to send troops to provide assistance.

Now Tsarist Russia says that the Northern Navy is preparing to send troops to Khalkha Mongolia. If he is so powerful, will Zhao Xin, a "dog thief" be afraid of slaughtering to death?!

However, given that Zhao Xin repeatedly did not play according to common sense, Qianlong immediately took a series of countermeasures.

The first thing was to adjust the officials of Khalkha Mongol, and ordered General Baoning, Yili, to be transferred to the left-level general of Dingbian, to replace Hengrui, who was old and sick, and set off within five days. Baoning was born in the army and served as general of Chengdu and governor of Sichuan. He participated in the Battle of Jinchuan and pacified the rebellion of the Northwest and Hui, and was brave in combat. He was considered to have rich combat experience among the Eight Banners generals.

The ministers of Kulun service, Songjun and Yunduandorji, strictly guarding the front line of Chaktu, demanded that Zhazak be more vigilant, investigate the movements of the Northern Navy, and all the horses and camels from the official horse farm north of Kulun were transferred to Kulun. The fourth generation of Dzebuzundanba, Robuzangtubatanwangshuk went to the capital to meet.

Yongbao was promoted to General Yili, and led 5,000 musketeers from Tianshan Banner Camp to Tarbhatai north to send troops to support Kobdo at any time. He sent a message to General Suiyuan Xingzhao to dispatch Shanxi to garrison the Eight Banners and Green Camp to Zhangjiakou north.

On April 2nd of the 56th year of Qianlong, the Russian letter sent to the capital was quickly translated. The letter said that the Turgut Mongols had always been kind to the Tsarist Russian Empire, so after they found that the Kazakhs captured the Lama Samarin, they redeemed him and brought him to the Qing Dynasty. According to the secret report obtained by Russia from Irkutsk, the Northern Navy was gathering a large number of troops on the southern bank of Lake Baikal, and it is likely to make major moves in the near future, and they may point to the Khalkha Mongols. As the common enemy of both sides, the Tsarist Russian side was willing to send 20,000 troops to help the Khalkha Mongols resist the invasion through the Tannu Ulianghai.

Based on Samairin's confession and the Russian letter translated, the Qianlong ruler and minister repeatedly deduced the possibility of launching troops in Beihai Town. However, due to the incident, many parties involved, and some key information in Samairin's confession could not be reviewed and a clear conclusion could not be drawn.

Due to the invasion of Heilongjiang and the retreat of Chaktu, the relationship between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia has been tense in recent years. The Qing court has always regarded Russia as the target of defense. Therefore, Qianlong believed that Samarin's oral letters were Russia's plan, and Prince Jia Yongyan and Heshen also had the same view. What is the use of the Tangnu Ulianghai? It is obviously a wolfish ambition! What should I do if I refuse to leave after I put it in?

However, Secretary of Military Affairs A Gui and Co-organizer Liu Yong believed that it would be better to trust him than to trust him without him. He suggested sending a message to the Russian side as soon as possible to find out the facts.

However, in mid-5th month of the lunar calendar, before the Russian reply had arrived, an urgent report from Kulun Ministers Song Yun and Yunduan Dorji reached the capital.

According to the information obtained by Mongolian spies sent to the north of the Chaktu River, the news from the Russians is likely to be true. The Northern Navy has gathered tens of thousands of troops in the area between Irkutsk and Chaktu, with guns and cannons every day and training day and night.

Qianlong immediately issued an edict, ordering the Khalkha Zhazak to assemble all troops at the latest in early June and recruit all arrows to prepare for war. He ordered General Xingzhao of Suiyuan to lead his army north to Kulun, and must guard the key points of the North-South Army-Tailadolantai, and strive to ensure that the north-south transportation routes are not lost.
