C1565 oil and salt stagnation

In the human world, there are too many things that you can't do anything about. To be an official in the Great Qing, you have to put more than half of your energy into personnel, and not only that, you have to use up a lot of money.

That's why you want to be a good official! That's why Old Lin was convinced, when the imperial government ceded the land east of Wusuli River, the grieving Hun Chun did not watch. He did not even accept the order to retreat, and fought a war between the vanguard of the eastern and Russian s.

It was a battle that would not be recorded in the annals of history. The Qing Empire and Russia had made it a border conflict and it was a misunderstanding. In that bloody battle, Hun Chun realized how powerful his fighting strength was. Even with three times his military strength, she was unable to bite onto his opponent, and each time his opponent counterattacked, they were able to pierce through her army's formation.

No matter if it was physical fitness, tactical training, or weapons and equipment … Even the spirit of a battle was not on the same level. It was impossible to lose such a battle.

Hun Chun did not send her men to die for nothing. As soon as sshe saw that things were over, he had no choice but to go back and accept the terms of the Beijing treaty. At that time, Sha Russia's power in the Far East was also very small, and he did not even establish a supply line.

The citizens of the Great Qing did not know about this small scale battle, but the soldiers of the Ningguta could not forget this humiliation that had always been in their hearts. The soldiers of the Hun Chun were also venting their anger, he had been waiting for the imperial government to think of a way to restore her lost territory.

"The east side of Wusuli River is where our Ningguta defenses are. They don't care about us …"

Old Lin choked and said, "But every year we wait, every year we train, and the result is every year we are disappointed! The imperial government seems to have forgotten about this matter. Let alone increasing the soldiers' pay, even the military pay is not enough! "

"Do you know how much military pay was paid at the lowest point? Three discounts! What the heck! Look at the weapons in our hands! "You know what our lives are like …"

Old Lin shook his head excitedly, "We are so poor that we can barely keep the pot boiling. How can we afford to send gifts? The land of gold powder in the Beijing, is that a place a bunch of men like us can go? What do we do if we don't ride the wall? Before this battle, who the hell would want to take another look at us? Who paid any attention to us? "

"Don't say anymore …" Hun Chun's tears started to fall. After nine years of suffering, she really couldn't bear to look back, he would rather die than lose her dignity in front of a woman.

"To eat this bowl of rice you have to do this bad! The men had to suppress their hearts, no matter what other people said! As long as we can live up to our conscience with every step we take! "

"Lord Fog, you don't know what kind of life we have in the past, nor do you know why we made such a choice … After all, the imperial court is that court, we have no choice but to listen! If you say we're unpopular, I'll admit it! My Hun Chun cannot tell a woman what's right and wrong … "

"Who dares to say that the general is heartless? "I'll fight it out with him …" Old Lin jumped up as the veins on her neck popped out. He pointed at the Sister Wu disciple and roared, "We have no one in this world? If we didn't have people, would we go to the banks of the Sallin River to stop the enemy? If we had no people, why would we use so many military supplies to gather elite soldiers here? "Do you think our silver came from the wind …"

The flesh on Old Lin's face started to tremble as he looked at Hidden Fog Kid's sorrowful face, "It's not that we don't want to fight! We really can't beat him! You are an intelligence agent too, so you should be clear about the armed forces of the Cossack, as well as ours! "

"The opposing party has two horses. In the entire Ningguta, there are only around 20,000 horses. The rest are just infantry soldiers … The other side already equipped a new type of rapid-fire rifle, while we still have big sabre and lance! Even if you were to use your life, it wouldn't be so useless! "

"So let me be clear! Lord Fog … These soldiers under us are the only way for us to survive! Without these loyal soldiers, anyone can pinch us to death! You want us to be cannon fodder to help your brave soldiers block the Cossack? "Hehe, no way!"

This was the foundation of a martial general's existence. There was no fool that would finish off his own direct line of descent, and only idiots would do the work of marrying other people.

Previously, the Hun Chun was so impulsive that she wanted to fight with the Cossack on the bank of the Sarin River, but reality gave him a slap on the face. The valiant Cossack was full of fighting strength, if they clashed head on, even all of the armies in the Ningguta would not be able to stop him.

So what if he blocked it? When the time comes, the ones laughing will be the brave soldiers, and the ones crying will be themselves! He definitely couldn't do this kind of thing that was making it easy for an outsider like him.

The Hun Chun sighed and shook his head, "It's not that my Hun Chun is timid. The imperial government wants me to take my life at any time, but I have to consider my brothers who followed me! I can't let them die for nothing! Behind a hundred thousand brothers are a hundred thousand families. The life and death of a hundred thousand families is in my hands, I'll be responsible … "

Hidden Fog Kid fell into a momentary silence. She knew that the other party had not lied to her about the military information of this region of Ningguta.

"General!" I'll tell you the truth! We will definitely win this war with the Haishenwai … "

At this critical moment, Hidden Fog Kid decided not to hide any of this anymore, and started to divulge some of her secrets.

"Do you know how strong the fighting strength of Zhiyuan Warship is? "The 210-caliber main cannon can cover the entire city, and all the fortifications can be easily torn apart …"

"The forty thousand strong army are equipped with the newest Mauser's rifle, all of them are simply fixed ammunition, their range is far and their attacks are accurate …"

"You have seen the Gatling's demonstration of firepower last year. Even the densest wave of people can be torn into pieces …"

"Do you know how well-stocked the weapons reserve is? "This battle will not be a problem for more than a month …"

A lot of information about the disposition of weapons that Hidden Fog Kid had never heard of before appeared in front of the two. Hidden Fog Kid had even revealed that there was a type of army that could fight in the sky, the prime minister was known as the air force.

This was how confidence was built. When the Hun Chun heard about the Zhiyuan Warship s fighting against the foreign races in the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean, he was shocked to hear that the French had all suffered a huge loss under the Zhiyuan Warship's artillery.

"Why didn't I know it before? "Why didn't anyone tell us …" The answer was actually very simple, the Qing Dynasty would never spread the news of their race's pride, and the trip of the Zhiyuan Warship was considered an absolute military secret, of course it would not be announced in the newspapers, and it was normal for the people outside the border to not know the latest news.

In the time it took to make a cup of tea, Hidden Fog Kid's throat was already dry.

But just as Hidden Fog Kid was feeling complacent, Hun Chun's next words almost angered her to death.

"I'm really sorry, but I still can't agree! This battle... We can only remain neutral... "

Hi... You're not going to make it in time?
