Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

The battle of Xiahe is still going on, and the war outside the customs has been rekindled due to the warmer weather.

However, unlike in the Xiahe War, the warring parties had distinct camps. The war in the Northeast was actually a chaotic war between China, the Qing Dynasty, and Russia.

At the beginning of April in the 16th year of Huaxia Wucheng, the Mongolian Yicong Army affiliated to the Songmo Duhu Mansion of the Xia Army first fought against the Zalaite Banner and the Durbert Banner on the Songnen Plain---the Zalaite and Durbert people are of course It is fighting to protect their homeland, and the Mongolian volunteer army in Fuxia is also fighting because some of the landless princes and ordinary herdsmen who have made great achievements in the past have really been allocated grasslands of different sizes from the former land of Horqin---the same origin The two sides refused to give in to each other, and the fighting even extended to Qiqihar, Butha and other places, making the Liaodong immigrants who had finally gained a foothold fall into the precarious situation of being displaced again.

In order to prevent Guoerluosi Banner and Horqin Zuoyi Front Banner from crossing the Songhua River to aid Zhalaite Banner and Duerbert Banner, in mid-April, the Shence Army under the command of the Anton Protectorate began to build forts in the direction of Ningguta. go ahead.Facing the Shence Army that was nailed into their own heart like a nail, the Mongols of the Two Banners quickly organized an army to try to stop the actions of the Shence Army. However, the Shence Army relied on the fortress that was built and was still under construction to inflict great damage on the opponent.

Facing the fortress of the Xia Army, the Mongols of the Two Banners had no choice but to ask for help in the direction of Ningguta. Although Yunyu, who commanded the Qing army around Ningguta, was still in New Yaksa City, according to the order he left behind, [-] Qing troops Soon he went south to help in the battle, and for a while he pulled down several fortresses one after another, and forced the northward Shence Army back to the surrounding areas of Ula, Jilin.

It’s just that the Qing and Mongolian allied forces have not yet breathed a sigh of relief. More than 4 Xia troops rushed out of Changchun like mountains and seas, and smashed the Qing and Mongolian allied forces in the Hulan River. , back to the Xinjing area.

As the saying goes, misfortune never comes singly. At this time, the Heilongjiang navy of the Xia army took advantage of the thawing of the river and went up the river. The Eighth Division of the Longxiang Army under it defeated the negligible resistance of the Qing army along the way, and successfully captured Heilongjiang and Wusu. Bolitun, the key town at the confluence of the Lijiang River, was directed at Tongjiang.

Once the Xia army captures Tongjiang, then the north and south Xia armies may attack Xinjing from north to south along the Songhua River.

The dangerous situation made the Manchu civil and military forces under Emperor Tongzhi sit on pins and needles. At this time, good news came from Hulun Lake. Entering the Russian-controlled area, with the assistance of the local Buryat and Maomingan Mongols who were oppressed by the Russians, they were invincible, successfully captured dozens of Cossack villages, and forced the Russians to retreat to Nerchinsk (Nerchin). Sk) and other major castles were wrongly allowed to release more than a thousand Russian troops before. I am afraid that the extremely empty Nerchinsk and other places will also fall into the hands of the Qing court.

The eastern front was in danger, but the western front was triumphant, which gave the Qing court the idea of ​​moving the capital again.

However, there are several major problems at this time: first, the two offensives of the Xia army must be blocked, otherwise, once they are chased and killed by the Xia army, I am afraid that not many people will be able to escape into the safe zone alive; There is no power to carry out large-scale population migration again. Presumably, the people outside the customs who have already suffered from displacement are not willing to move with the Qing court again. In this way, I am afraid that fewer and fewer people will follow them. There is no guarantee; thirdly, where is the appropriate place to move the capital or the king's tent? Heilongjiang is no longer sufficient. Qiqihar, Moergen, and Butha are also facing the Xia army's front. Is it possible to move to Nerchinsk at once , but what will the Russians do next?

With the news of the fall of Alchuka and Aljin, the Qing court had to make a decisive decision: order Yunyu to lead his troops to block the northward advance of the Xia army in the south of Sanxing; Jiang; the Qing court immediately moved to New Yaxa City; as for the people around Xinjing, those who are willing to follow the Qing court will be taken away, and those who are not willing to go in this humiliating mountain forest will not be cheap to Xia Jun; in addition, the Qing court notified Heilongjiang , and moved the people of Qiqihar, Butha, and Mergen to Aihui as much as possible.

On the first day of June in the 16th year of Wucheng, Xia Jun on the southern front encountered Yunyu in Ant River.The Xia army had two infantry divisions, two cavalry divisions, one cavalry division, and eight regiments of the Shence Army, totaling more than 5000 men, and Yunti had no way to replenish and divide his troops to guard the city of New Yaksa after being lost in successive battles. For other reasons, there are only more than [-] men and more than [-] Mongolian cavalry under his command, so the battle has not yet started, and the outcome of the war is self-evident.

Yunti didn't dare to fight hard, so he took the initiative to retreat to Sanxing, trying to rely on Mudanjiang for defense. Because the Songhua River Squadron had not yet been established, the Xia army could not control the waterway, so they could only temporarily confront the Qing army across the river.However, Yunti soon got the bad news that Xia's army had defeated Sunu's troops on the Tongjiang line, and was about to form a pincer attack with the troops on the southern line.

Yunti was so shocked that he had no choice but to abandon the defense line of Mudanjiang, and took the initiative to cross the Songhua River and escape north into the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, turning towards Heilongjiang City.Not to mention how the Qing and Mongolian coalition forces looted the remaining food of their own people along the way. After the Xia army on the southern line discovered that Yunti had retreated, they immediately marched northward, joined the Heilongjiang Inland River Navy, and quickly controlled the entire Xinjing area.

The bannermen of the Zalaite and Duerbert Banners, who were fighting the Mongolian Yicong Army in the Songnen Plain, heard that Xinjing was lost, and decisively led their troops to move to the area west of the Daxinganling Mountains, which led to the opening of Qiqihar, Butha and other places.

Under the vanguard of the Mongolian Yicong army, Manchu and Qing officials from all over the country fled to Heilongjiang City one after another regardless of carrying out the orders of the Qing court.As a result, the vast areas between the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains fell under the control of China, and the Qing court could only linger in a small area north of the Lesser Khingan Range and west of the Greater Khingan Range.

The avalanche of failures caused mourning for the Qing court. The Goerluosi Banner and the Horqin Zuoyiqian Banner, which had lost all their old, weak, women, children, cattle and sheep, also expressed their desire to abandon the Qing court and change their courts.At this time, there were still 4 Qing and Mongolian coalition forces, but the people under their control were only [-], and there was no way to sustain it. Therefore, some people gave up on themselves and advocated the final battle with Xia's army, but they were naturally rejected by Yunyu, Yun Rejected by Yu et al.

Yunyu and others spoke about the victory of Boguduo and others in Lower Baikal, and proposed to move the dead and the living.

Since Yunzhen has in essence mastered the last and largest force of the Qing court today, his proposal was adopted without any surprise, so the Qing court hastily burned down the cities of Aihui and Xinyaksa, and held tens of thousands of people hostage Withdrew west.

The Qing army withdrew from Aihui, and the Xia army's Heilongjiang Neihe Navy Division immediately rushed to the city.

Seeing that the Qing army had abandoned the city and fled, the Xia army chased them without hesitation, and shelled the Qing army guards who escorted the people of Aihui to retreat westward, causing the Qing army guards to collapse, and quite a few of them were unwilling to escape. The people of Aihui took the opportunity to escape into the mountains on both sides, and then returned to Aihui under the consolation of Xia Jun.

The Xia army's ships, which were not forgiving, rushed all the way until they reached the vicinity of the Huma River, and then they withdrew their troops.However, the Qing court, which was in a cold sweat, soon discovered that some of the new Manchurian flag soldiers who felt that their future was hopeless left the team one after another. In the end, only 2 soldiers and horses, including the Horqin people, remained after the Qing court went deep into Russia. What's even more frightening is that there are only 3 people left in the entourage, which is tantamount to bringing the Qing court back to the period of "the king of [-] people by the water".Although all the princes comforted themselves by "imitating their ancestors, they will be able to regain their strength", everyone knew that the Qing Dynasty was completely finished.

It’s just that Yunyu still refused to admit defeat. He then defeated [-] Russian troops sent by the Yakutsk Warlord District north of Mogocha, and then contracted Bogoduo, Horqin, Buryats, The Maoming'an people swept across the entire Lower Baikal region, and even captured several small castles such as Amalask and Shilosk that Bogoduo and other ministries were unable to capture before, thus temporarily preserving the alliance between the Qing court and the Horqin people and allowing the Northern Qing Dynasty to continue survive.

The warlord Kedrient, who provoked the war between Russia and the Qing Dynasty, could not face the Qing-Mongolian coalition forces of more than 4 people, so he had to defend Nerchensk and the castles in various places, praying to God every day, and looking forward to the early arrival of the army from the Siberian Governor's Palace .However, Your Excellency the Overseer does not know that due to the lobbying activities of Charles XII in the Ottoman Empire, a new round of Russian-Swiss and Russian-Turkish wars are showing signs of breaking out again. The Governor of Siberia is sending troops to the west according to the order of Tsar Peter I. There is no force to reinforce the East, so the Kdrient Warlord has actually been temporarily abandoned.

Fortunately, Qingmeng lacks a sufficient number of heavy artillery, and it is temporarily impossible to capture major Russian castles such as Nerchensk, Upper Uginsk, Selengosk, and Irgensk. Therefore, most Russian residents in the Lower Baikal region can temporarily Save their lives, but once the food accumulated in the city is exhausted, what awaits them in the end is an extremely tragic ending, just like what they imposed on the local Mongolians at the beginning

On August 16, the [-]th year of Wucheng, the Huaxia Center, which received a good report from the Northeast, officially announced the establishment of the Longjiang North Protectorate, which governed the area north of Heilongjiang and south of the Outer Xing'an Mountains.
