Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

It turned out that Xi Rabu, the deputy governor of the capital, and Chengyong Gong Yuheng committed the felony crime of treason. In desperation, they rolled up Shanhaiguan soldiers and horses, went north to Heilongjiang, and fled to Huma.Became a bandit.There used to be Qing Dynasty official troops stationed here, but they were all organized under the Green Battalion system, and no firearms were allowed, so the combat effectiveness can be imagined.Therefore, this group of bandits gradually developed their temperament. From the initial robbery, to the fact that they dared to openly attack the prefectures and counties, the officers and soldiers were powerless to wipe them out.

Huma is located on the Sino-Russian border, stepping on the border.at the beginning.Hirab and Yu Heng went wherever they wanted to fight, no matter if they were Chinese or Russians, whoever they caught and robbed.At that time, Russia's military deployment focused on the lower reaches of Heilongjiang.Therefore, it is also a headache for such a force.Since he was unable to encircle and suppress, the cunning Russian thought of a good idea to support Xirab with a large number of new weapons and equipment, encouraging him to expand his power and harass the Chinese territory.

The combination of Xirab and Yuheng is a conspiracy anyway, and the same is true for simply taking refuge in the Russians.Therefore, they turned their guns and continued to invade the mainland of China. With advanced weapons and equipment, they annexed large and small groups, from Huma to the southwest, and all the way to the Taipingling area, and their sphere of influence was designated for hundreds of miles.Except that there is no direct establishment of a puppet regime, it seems to be the posture of a country and China!

Due to the strength of this group of bandits, the local garrison was forced to move south, and the people suffered even more.And the reason why Liu Tao's group of Russian devils relaxed their vigilance when they arrived here was precisely because there were no Qing Dynasty garrisons here, and the forces of Xirab had never moved the Russians.As for this chance meeting here, it wasn't that the bandits deliberately came to meet Lao Maozi, but they were planning to look south to plunder Xin'an County. They happened to pass by and were attracted by the sound of gunfire.

This really corresponds to the old saying: It's not that enemies don't get together, Xirab and Yuheng probably never dreamed that they would meet Xiao Ran again here.Of course, he didn't realize that this would be the beginning of another nightmare.

The bandits dispatched this time were led by the second leader Cheng Yonggong Yuheng, and there were quite a number of them, at least two thousand, and they were as dark as a cloud, rushing towards them, firing guns bang bang, and they couldn't stop. Hu Xiaoyue, with a murderous look.These fellows usually bullied the officers and soldiers as if they bullied the third grandson. When they saw Sheng Zuo and his men blocking the way, they were furious and rushed over shouting.

Sheng Zuo was also polite, and led his brothers to shoot a volley, and the bandits who rushed in front turned their backs and fell to the ground in a mess.The bandits had never seen such a powerful army before, they were all taken aback, they fired their guns indiscriminately, while retreating in a hurry, they stopped their positions for a long time.

At this time, Liu Tao and the remaining foreign devils were obviously also anxious, and they put on snow one after another, planning to rush over to join the bandits.Xiao Ran had an idea, as long as they were willing to move, sharpshooters would have a chance!Immediately called Lin Qing'er, and asked her to pick a few good snipers, dive down the mountain ridge to find favorable terrain, and wait for the opportunity to kill Liu Tao.

But in the group of bandits, after a while, several sleds were driven out, and a section of cannon barrel was vaguely protruded from them, and they were pulled to the front of the formation, lined up.A bandit rushed out on his horse and shouted loudly: "Where are you from the army? Damn you dare to come to the Taiping Mountains to play wild! Are you impatient? Our second leader said that we will obediently leave everything behind." Weapons and equipment, maybe you can also consider letting you survive; otherwise, let you die without a place to die!"

While yelling, they walked back and forth in front of the battle.Sheng Zuo looked at it with anger, and took a short aim with his rifle.With just one shot, the guy was knocked off his horse, and he rolled twice and remained still.The bandits immediately clamored and loaded the cannons in a hurry, ready to fire.Now everyone is standing on the frozen river, once the other party uses a flowering shell, it will explode the ice.Then everyone will have to feed the fish in the water!Sheng Zuo gave an order, and the snipers opened fire together.After a burst of crisp gunshots, those bandit gunners were all sent to meet Hades.

As soon as the fire is fired here, the remaining old men on Liu Tao's side can't stay still, screaming and screaming, driving the sled forward desperately, trying to break through Sheng Zuo's blockade, and rush to meet Yu Heng's bandits The troops converge.Liu Tao saw that the situation was not good.He hurriedly yelled loudly to stop him, but the old man was already red-eyed, how could he stop him?

At this time, Lin Qing'er had already led the sniper back to the river from the side. Taking advantage of the confusion, she bent down and rushed forward like an arrow, moving lightly towards a civet cat.The distance was approaching quickly, fifty steps, thirty steps, twenty steps... A sudden roll forward to relieve the inertia, and kneel on one knee.Holding the sniper rifle firmly with both hands, all movements are done in one go, which is extremely perfect!The long barrel reflected a dizzying cold light, and the front sight bit Liu Tao's head firmly in an instant.

Perhaps because he had a sudden premonition of some kind of danger, Liu Tao turned around abruptly, and at the same time touched the fuse of the grenade with his left hand.Just at this very moment.There was a huge bang, and a sniper bullet whizzed towards him, piercing through the center of his brow with incomparable precision.The huge impact lifted the back half of the skull, and a large cloud of blood burst out.At that moment, Liu Tao's expression was forever frozen into indescribable astonishment, but his body flew backwards and landed with a slam.

Gululu get out of the way.

"kill!!!"

The snipers ambushing on the mountain ridges on both sides were waiting for such an opportunity, almost at the same time as Lin Qing'er's gunshot.All the muzzles began to spurt out anger.The dozens of Russian devils who had escaped for a while fell down one after another like target cards. In less than 1 minute, the entire battle was quickly resolved.

Sheng Zuo was still sniping the bandits rhythmically.Xiao Ran and Duan Xingnian quickly met.After cleaning the battlefield, they were about to transport the sleds full of treasures back to the rear, when suddenly there were several muffled bangs and bangs from behind.Xiao Ran frowned and said: "Not good, those bandits probably stole our way!" He ordered Duan Xingnian to bring a team of troops and rush away.Not long after, I saw him driving the sleigh horses back with his brothers and the soldiers from the squad that had left behind to guard the sleigh, angrily yelling: "You son of a bitch, you fired a cannon and blew up the ice!" Come on, our way back is cut off!"

It turned out that Yu Heng, the honest and brave man, had some evil ideas.On the one hand, they sent people to attack from the front, and on the other hand, they sent a small group of troops to sneak around the valley, slipped to the back, and blasted the frozen river.In this way, if you want to turn back, you have to go around the valley, but the terrain is unfamiliar, and you may be ambushed by bandits.Xiao Ran said angrily: "Okay, these bastards, I don't intend to deal with them, they actually want to eat our special team! Did they drink too much, or did they take the wrong medicine? Well, since they are looking for death, then No wonder we are here!"

The team was reassembled, not counting Sheng Zuo's No. 400 Squadron, there were still 400 people.Xiao Ran and Duan Xingnian each led a team, still climbed up the mountain ridges on both sides to ambush, and then sent an order to Sheng Zuo, telling him to pretend to be defeated, so as to attract the bandits into their pockets.The layout here was quickly completed, but Sheng Zuo encountered difficulties when he received the order.The weapons of the team are excellent, and the range of the rifles is farther than that of other cannons (the muzzle-loading artillery used by the bandits has a range of only about [-] meters), and the shooting is so accurate. How can this defeat be pretended?It is estimated that even fools would not believe it if they cheated.

Thanks to his resourcefulness, he pondered for a while, ordered his brothers to shoot two rounds in succession, launched another small-scale feint, and then asked everyone to cease fire slowly.Yuheng ordered his bandits to grab the commanding heights on both sides of the strait several times and failed. He was so depressed that he heard the gunshots gradually fade away. Ammo!For a moment, he was ecstatic, and all the soldiers and horses were swept up, and the killers came over.Sheng Zuo resisted a little, and led the team to retreat along the river.

Just to say that this Chengyong Gong is really brave. Seeing the opponent's defeat, he immediately regained his spirits.Just as he was walking, he suddenly heard a loud shout: "Brothers, kill!!!" Yu Heng couldn't help but tremble: Huh?Why does this voice sound familiar... Before he could recover, he heard rapid gunshots from the mountain ridges on both sides.The bandits around fell down in pieces, and the long river valley suddenly sounded with howling ghosts and wolves.

Sheng Zuo's troops who had retreated before also turned their guns and came back to kill them.These bandits were also used to bullying the Qing army. They had almost never lost a battle since they started pulling the pole. At this time, they were suddenly hit hard and completely lost their position. They didn't even care about organizing a counterattack.Seeing that it was not the head, Yuheng turned the horse's head and left.But with a team of more than two thousand people, including people, horses and sleds, how can it be so easy to turn around?For a while, you bumped into me and I bumped into you, huddled together in a mess.

Seeing that it was almost done, Xiao Ran gave an order, and the brothers rushed down the mountain like wolves and tigers.First, a burst of grenades was thrown, and amidst a series of explosions, the bandits fell on their backs.Those who are destined to die have already lost all fighting spirit, and ran away quickly, and those who couldn't run had to obediently disarm and surrender.Yuheng still didn't give up at this time, he managed to find a gap in the crowd, and his horse was about to gallop away.Unexpectedly, a bullet flew in and hit the thigh, causing half of the body to go numb in pain, and he fell headfirst, his head was bleeding and he couldn't struggle.

Xiao Ran ordered his brothers to quickly clean up the battlefield.A total of more than 300 bandits, more than half of them were killed or injured, and more than [-] people were captured, and only less than [-] people escaped.Xiao Ran ordered people to load the captured weapons and ammunition into the car, called the prisoners himself, and interrogated their origins.As the second in charge, Yu Heng was quickly confessed by his subordinates, and two brothers escorted him to see Xiao Ran.

Until now, Yu Heng has not figured out where this team with super fighting power got out of, and was wondering to himself, when he walked in front of Li Ran, he only raised his head for a look, his eyes turned dark immediately, and his mouth was full of bitterness.My heart said, God really doesn't take care of me normally!Well, how did you get this mourner here?People say that if you can't afford to offend, you can still afford to hide. Why am I so unlucky, I hid all the way from the palace to Huma, and ran for thousands of miles, and I almost ran out of the country!Who the hell did I provoke me...

When Xiao Ran saw him, he was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed so hard that he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Who am I? I still want to join together! Fate, fate!" Suddenly, his expression became serious, and he said: "Since we are acquaintances, we don't need to waste our words. Tell me, why did you come here suddenly this time? Yes, what is going on with this batch of Russian equipment in your hand?"

Yuheng's heart felt sore, and he wished he could cry a lot.I said in my heart that I don't know how much money I owed you in my previous life, but my ghost haunts me in this life!If he had met someone else, he might not have confessed so happily, but it happened that he had met an enemy like Xiao Ran. He felt that all hope was lost, he sighed, and said, "That's all, that's all! I'll tell you everything today, I just ask you to give me a good knife to save me from suffering! This time I was ordered by the Russians to lead a team to harass Xin'an County; Xirab, who was with me, was leading troops to attack Mingdian. Our mission is Attracting the Qing troops stationed near the left, the Russians have assembled a large number of troops, and are ready to take the opportunity to cross Heilongjiang and start a massive war!"

The Chinese devils finally did it!

Although Xiao Ran thought of blocking the news when he was in the capital, after all, the red-haired devils have been rooted in China for many years and have already established their own secret intelligence network (including the surrounding telegraph network).When the news reached Russia, there was immediate shock.I am used to the Qing government's usual cowardice and incompetence, but this time it suddenly provoked such a big dispute, even disregarding the creed that "the two countries should fight each other, and the envoys should not be beheaded". Not left!Can't, it's a very honest country, why is it crazy if you say crazy?

At first I didn't believe it, but thanks to the convenience of telegrams, after repeated inquiries, I finally confirmed it: the Qing government is really crazy this time!Frustrated and angry, the Russians almost exhausted all their troops from Ili, Xinjiang in the west, Chaktu in the central Mongolia (outer Mongolia was not yet independent at that time, and it was still the territory of the Qing Dynasty), and the Heilongjiang River in the east, and dispatched a large number of warships from the Yezhu River The pier crossed the Korean Strait southward, and the soldiers were divided into four groups, aggressively rushing towards China.

At this time, the war in the south of China was coming to an end.Zeng Guofan sat in Anqing and mobilized the Hunan Army to advance into Jiangxi, from Jingdezhen to Wuyishan, cutting off the echo of the Taiping Army in Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces.Zuo Zongtang's Chu army lived up to expectations and finally regained Hangzhou, besieging Li Xiucheng's troops in the Jinhua area.Shi Dakai led his troops into Sichuan, entered Nanchong from Guang'an, and transferred to Bazhong.

So far, the Taiping Army has been completely divided, and its destruction will only happen overnight.Due to the intervention of new guns.The progress of the entire battle situation suddenly accelerated, and if nothing unexpected happened, it would be cleared within half a year.

Due to the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, several large strands of twisters in Henan had no way out, so they had to cross Funiu Mountain westward and break into Shaanxi.for a long time.In order to resist the tyranny of the Qing government, many anti-Qing uprising armies have been active in the vast areas of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Qinghai.As the Nian Army marched westward, various rebel armies responded one after another, rising in Weinan, Huazhou and other places to besiege Xi'an.However, due to ethnic conflicts, Han and Hui people in dozens of counties in Xi'an and Dali vendettaed each other, killing hundreds of thousands of people.The rebels from all walks of life are incompatible and sometimes hostile.As a result, the current situation in the Shaanxi-Gansu area is extremely chaotic.

In view of the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu, the Qing government was unable to send troops to the west, so it had to temporarily abandon Xinjiang and plan later.And concentrate the elite troops, marching into the front line of Qiaktu in the central part.With the monk king Seng Gelinqin as the commander, Lin Meigu, the imperial envoy of the right capital, and Ruoanayan, the deputy commander of the Henan Eight Banners Army, as the deputy, the Shanxi and Henan Eight Banners troops were raised to meet the enemy in the north.Under the command of the Monk King, there are all Manchurian and Mongolian iron cavalry.In the plains and wilderness, no one dares to stop; moreover, the newly-drilled new-style firearms are so powerful in combat, one can imagine.As for the veteran Joanayan, he is resourceful, brave and good at fighting.

The more interesting one is Lin Meigu, the imperial envoy of the right capital.That is Lin Kui.The word Meigu is another nickname of Linkui. He is a man from Manchuria with a white banner. His family name is very early. He was passed down in the sixth year of Daoguang.As early as the 23rd year of Daoguang, he was a minister of the Ministry of Rites. Because the Yellow River broke through in Zhongmou, there was trouble in supervising the construction of the river.He was dismissed and recalled, and he started from the beginning as the third-class guard.In the tenth year of Xianfeng, he was also a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and there were troubles again.It's just that the last sentence in the memorial was wrong, and he was downgraded to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.The internal criminals of the British and French allied forces were ordered to be the right-wing commander-in-chief of the infantry commanding the yamen. The coalition forces were violent, so they set a fire and died together with the enemy.

After the Xinyou coup, Yu Yishi and Zuo Fudu Yushi were equivalent to the supervisors of the Supervisory Yuan, and Youdu Yushi and Youdu Du Yushi were the titles of governor and governor.Linkui was deeply grateful for his kindness, so he swore to serve him to the death. He and the vice-captain Ruoanayan, with one article and one martial arts, assisted the monk king to fight against the enemy.

As for the sea route, the world navy at that time was still dominated by Britain.In order to compete for the interests of East Asia, Britain and Russia have always had a gap.Therefore, in the face of Russia's large-scale invasion, the Yi government sent warships to assist, and the British readily agreed in order to consolidate their position and maximize their interests in China.At this time, most of the docks and fortresses along the coast of China are equipped with standard 140mm large-caliber breech-loading cannons and breech-loading howitzers. Due to the smokeless powder used in the shells, the longest range can even reach a terrifying [-] kilometers. !

So far, the sea and the Chinese and Western roads have basically become a fixed trend; while the Heilongjiang area in the northeast is the place where the current situation is the most treacherous and changeable.In order to seize the mouth of the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River leading to the Pacific Ocean, since the signing of the "Treaty of Nerchinsk" to the present, successive tsarist governments have racked their brains and painstakingly.After the first Opium War, a "Special Committee on Heilongjiang Issues" was established to intensify its invasion of Heilongjiang.

From 1849 to 1853, the Russian naval officer Nevelskoy led armed men to invade the lower reaches of Heilongjiang and establish a stronghold for aggression.Subsequently, under the command of the governor of East Siberia, Muraviyov, a large number of Russian aggressors broke into Heilongjiang and carried out military occupation of the north bank of the middle and upper reaches and both banks of the lower reaches.Since then, the Russians have been stationed heavily in the Heilongjiang area. During the Xianfeng period, the garrison was expanded eleven times and even zero.This time, it can be seen from Yuheng's confession that these red-haired devils want to divide their troops into two groups. Advance in depth, in an attempt to form a pincer attack from east to west, and cut off the Qing army's retreat!

"Damn it! F***ing old man, you came so fast!" Xiao Ran was a little out of breath for a while.This kind of overall war, he thinks he is not capable of it, what he is good at is nothing more than tricky tricks such as robbing food roads, stealing back roads, and planting landmines.It's okay to fight local battles, but as for strategizing and winning thousands of miles away, it's just black eyes and stinky tofu laying the foundation, which is not the material at all!

According to Yuheng's account, the Russians invaded from Heihe this time with about 6 to 600 troops.In contrast, no matter how powerful Daxingshan's army is, it only has [-] people, and an average of one person kills a hundred red-haired devils.Xiao Ran didn't have such ambitions yet.what to do?Divide troops to lure the enemy, or use advanced weapons and equipment to fight a block?Xiao Ran couldn't make up his mind for a while.Speaking of this point, Captain Sheng Zuo came up with an idea: Since the red-haired devils want to go deep into the hinterland, then we simply send troops to the Songhua River, and together with the Yishan Department, first concentrate our forces to kill the invading enemies in the Songhua River Basin; The teacher went west.Eat the Russians who have penetrated deep into the hinterland in one fell swoop.

Xiao Ran was overjoyed, patted Sheng Zuo's shoulder and said brazenly: "It's the same as I thought, it really is a hero who sees the same thing!" Immediately ordered the brothers, the prisoners were dismissed on the spot, leaving only Yu Heng.Duan Xingnian was ordered to personally lead two squads of soldiers to escort the treasure back to Daxing Mountain, and the rest of the brothers marched along the Nen River to rush back to Da'an.

At this time, Nayan Xinduo's troops in Shengjing had also slowly arrived in Heilongjiang.Nayanxin Duobu was originally the Yizhi Eight Banners Army, and the treatment was also different. The firearms and equipment newly developed by the Ministry of Industry were first equipped with the troops.All black and shiny new-style rifles, new-style breech-loading howitzers with high-raised barrels, and short-barreled curved-fire mortars

Basically armed to the teeth.

Compared with the Russian army at this time, although there are some imitated new rifles, the common equipment is still breech-loaded percussion guns, with a range of only 300 meters; some of them use old-fashioned front-loaded smoothbore guns.Needless to say the power.The artillery is mainly the smoothbore howitzer with the previous bore, and there are also some improved Pishali guns. Although the breech is used for loading, most of them have a range of less than one kilometer.The only thing worth noting is that the Russians have realized the role of artillery in the war and formed a regular artillery regiment.It is divided into two parts: infantry artillery regiment and cavalry artillery regiment.The cavalry artillery regiment is extremely mobile, and the [-]-pound heavy howitzer used by the opponent will be really troublesome once the opponent forms a salvo of fire.

When Xiao Ran led his team to Da'an, it happened that Nayan Xinduo's second batch of main troops arrived.Nayan Xinduo was among them.Nayan Xinduo was born in Zhenghuangqi, and he has been the emperor's imperial guard since he was born.He manages the army well and is brave and good at fighting.It is Yi who holds a heavy army, so he has always been very tempered, with his eyes above his head.There is no one in sight.And Xiao Ran, relying on his identity as a fake eunuch, actually turned upside down in the capital and made waves, and today he came to be Lao Tzu's imperial envoy again!Thinking of this incident, Nayan Xinduo felt suffocated.

According to the practice of marching and stationing troops, Nayan Xinduo's troops were outside the city.In fact, he had already received the news that Xiao Ran led a flashy team to Da'an and stayed in the hotel.Yixi was under the control of Xiao Ran, although he had given up his official post and returned to the palace, he was an imperial envoy in civilian clothes, and according to the rules, Nayan Xinduo would come to visit him in person at the residence.

In fact, at the same time as this document was sent, Yi Xinduo and Xiao Ran were extremely skilled, so I told him to help him with all his heart and never ask for trouble.However, the identity of Xiao Ran's fake eunuch is related to the reputation of the Aixinjueluo family after all, even though Nayan Xinduo is a confidant, it is inconvenient to speak lightly.

Yidan Nayan Xinduo has become a general for half his life, and his heart is arrogant, how could he go to a eunuch?Therefore, he didn't go to the guest house to meet him, but stayed in the big tent, waiting for Xiao Ran to come to the door in person, so he had to humiliate him.

To this General Nayan, Xiao Ran never thought of asking him to bow his head and obey his words. After all, he didn't know how to form an army, and he thought that as long as one Nayan Xin wins one Yishan, he would do his best to fight the red-haired devils. Sincere cooperation, it will be done.Seeing that Nayan Xinduo didn't intend to come to see him, Sheng Zuo and Monk Hua scolded his mother angrily, but Xiao Ran could think about it and said: "When employing people, don't stick to these small details. As long as you are willing to fight foreign devils, he will come to worship me, I went to worship him, and it was the same."

At the moment, he didn't bring many attendants, only Lin Qing'er and Monk Hua, and went out of the city to meet Nayan Xinduo at the Eight Banners Army camp.As soon as he entered the gate, the soldier on duty looked very arrogant, snorted coldly, and forced out a word from his nose: "Come on!"

Monk Hua was furious, and he was about to use force when he drew up his fist.But Xiao Ran held him back, and said with a smile: "Don't be impulsive. Soldiers with a bit of a temper can fight tough battles, I like it."

When they arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army, the soldier snorted again: "Wait!" He didn't even salute, and turned around to look after himself.Monk Hua angrily smoked from his seven orifices.Only Xiao Ran was hindered, and he didn't dare to attack.After waiting for half an hour, finally a few people came.When Xiao Ran looked at the three of them, they couldn't help being stunned.It turned out that although the few people who came here were all dressed in Qing soldiers' costumes, the leader did not wear a hat, deliberately showing his hair full of black hair.It turned out to be a young woman!

I saw this girl with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, with a beautiful appearance, especially her skin was extremely fair, her cheeks were so tender that water could be squeezed out.Xiao Ran has always been virtuous since he was born, and he is stunned when he sees a beautiful woman.Seeing him staring at her intently, the girl felt ashamed and annoyed, and said angrily, "Which one is the imperial envoy?"

Xiao Ran blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Young lady invited me. It's mere next. What, did General Nayan send you to see me?"

The girl lifted her chin, and said contemptuously: "Exactly! In our Nayan tribe's big camp, this is the rule. Whoever comes, what kind of people are there to entertain. People like you, the imperial envoy, have to I'm here to receive you."

These words are clearly a joke that Xiao Ran is an eunuch, who can't tell?Now even Lin Qing'er couldn't bear it any longer, she took a step forward and said angrily, "What did you say?"

But Xiao Ran waved his hand, laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay! The rules of the Nayan Department are really cute. Who will come and who will entertain, our family is neither male nor female, of course you are the only one here Welcome! Haha..."
