"What's his name? Have you figured out his identity?" Major Bei Zhensheng asked calmly at a Russian Khan who was tied up by Wuhuada.

The Russian man Kong Wu was powerful. Although he was wearing casual clothes, he might be a soldier. Moreover, not only him, but the dozen people behind him were soldiers. Maybe they were all the Cossacks of Nerchensk. I wonder what he was doing when he came to Northern Manchuria. Could it be that he was on a mission to the Qing Dynasty?

"It has been figured out. There is an officer who knows Russian in the military police. He is currently sorting out the interrogation report. He said that this person is incredible. He is the chief of military and political affairs of Nerchinsk, Matvey Petrovic Gagarin, who has not yet taken office. He will soon take over the position of military and political affairs of the former governor who has been resigned due to illness. However, before that, he still needs to go to Beijing to complete a mission on his mission." The intelligence officer came over and reported: "We found a lot of letters from him, including Russian, Chinese and Mongolian. The Russian has been translated, and the Mongolian is still in the translation, but the content should be similar to the one in Chinese. Sir, this is the original document and the translation, please check it."

Bei Zhensheng took the document handed over by the staff. When he saw it roughly, he immediately raised his spirits, because this was the letter written by Tsar Peter I to Kangxi: "I, the great monarch blessed by the Almighty God of the Holy and Glorious Trinity, the king of the kings, the great Russia, the little Russia, the lords of the Belarusian states, the rulers from the East to the West, the emperors of the countries belonging to the south and the north, Moscow, Kiev, Vladimir, Novgorod, Kazan... Ryazan, Rostov and other countries,

Many of his conquerors and warriors of the nations under his rule and noble rule, to the most powerful monarchs who give peace and tranquility to the beggars, the governors who relieve pain and promote welfare, the Christian monarch who blessed the Supreme God of the Emperor, and to pay tribute to you rulers throughout Asia, the supreme monarchs, the law enforcement officers assisted by wise ministers, the Chinese civil society and glorious defenders, the current Bogde Khan of China, my good friends and good neighbors.”

After folding this large section impatiently, Bei Zhensheng focused on the following core content: "......... The ones who accompanied Goloven to Tomsk were: Infantry Colonel Anton von Schmalenberg and his subordinate German officers, Minister of Guards Colonel Feodor Skripizan and Lieutenant Colonel Sidor Bautadirev, another fifteen captains and 1,012 Moscow musketeers. In addition, there were also Colonel Pavel Gribov and his subordinates.

Two officers commanded 2,800 military personnel of all kinds in Siberian cities. I gave Golovin a salary of 2,000 rubles, and the Siberian governments jointly allocated a total salary of 68,000 rubles for various military personnel. Secretary Kornitsky has sent him to the front line... These personnel are smart and capable people, with firm beliefs and strong will. They cooperate with the subordinates of the great monarch to attack the leader of Karmek, Gazan (Galdan), which can reassure me..."

"Grandma, it was the Russian Tsar who colluded with the Qing emperor to discuss the attack on Junggar Mongolia together." Major Bei Zhensheng snorted coldly and said. In front, the sound of artillery artillery on the east coast became increasingly dense, and countless shells shot out from the muzzles and hit the slightly thin wall of the city of Naowen City. The city wall with a mixed structure of civil and industrial structure could not withstand the bombardment of such a close-range powerful artillery. It now has a slight shaking smell. It seems that the city is broken in an easy way.

He must report this information to Commander Lu Xiaofeng and Lu in Vladivostok. The Qing Dynasty colluded with Tsarist Russia to deal with its common enemy, Junggar Mongolia, which was actually something that could be imagined. After all, one was in the west and the other was in the east, and it happened to attack Junggar Mongolia. It would be strange if they did not unite. And according to the meaning of the letter, the two sides must have sent envoys to each other before, otherwise the letter would not mention who Russia would send, how many troops, where, and who to fight with. It is obvious that they have been colluding with for quite some time.

Of course, the people of the East Coast had speculations and inferences about this before. With the deepening of the war between the Junggar Mongolian and the Qing Dynasty, the two sides had fought several large-scale battles on the Mongolian grasslands and the northwestern border. As a result, there was a victory or defeat between the Qing Dynasty. The Qing court had a strong motivation to unite the Russians, and the Russians were the same. You should know that the current Junggar Empire went east to Jiayuguan, south to south to southern Xinjiang, Qinghai, west to Central Asia, forcing the Kazakhs to surrender, and north to expand from the old Mongolstein land. Russia's strongholds in Central Asia and Siberia were often attacked and looted by Junggar Mongolia, and suffered great losses.

The alliance between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia is almost the common interest of both sides!

"Have there been any news about the Qing Dynasty and the war between the two countries recently?" Major Bei Zhensheng asked while continuing to flip through the documents.

"There is no special news." The intelligence consultant shook his head and said, "There are many scattered, but many of them are contradictory. After sorting out, we confirmed that the Khalkha Mongol has not yet turned to Galdan. The envoys and troops sent by the Qing Dynasty have stabilized the local situation well. The Mongolian princes and living Buddhas are also more vigilant about Galdan. The two sides fought a battle in Khalkha, and the Qing Dynasty failed tactically, but then achieved strategic success through increasing troops, which is to force the Junggar Mongol to retreat and not to make the Khalkha Mongol turn against him."

"After a while, the Mongolian prisoners caught were all from the grasslands in the west. Hulunbuir is so far from the core battlefield, so many Mongolian herders have come to take refuge. You can imagine what the real core battlefield has been like." Bei Zhensheng said: "We must understand as much of the battle situation on the Mongolian grasslands as possible and use it to judge the focus of the attacks of the Qing court in the next period of time. I have a premonition that they have strategically given up on the North Manchuria, which can be seen from the fact that they have pulled away most of the troops. Understanding the enemy's strategic intention has strong guiding significance for our next plan."

"I understand, sir, I will do it." The intelligence officer stood at attention and responded loudly.

The sound of artillery in front was even more dense, and there were even some shouts of people. The Qing army in the city rushed to the artillery positions of the East Coast people twice, and were all shot back by the dense firepower of the infantry formation that was waiting for. It is worth mentioning that even the Koreans, who had always been weak, did not panic under the influence of the calm East Coast army, fired step by step. One of the Pekan Dao Army musketeers named Jin Sanpao even knocked down a Qing Dynasty Niu Luezhen with one shot, and it was no problem to get promoted and make money after the war.

The Mongols recruited by Sabusu temporarily ran apart, and even some Daur soldiers were established, they couldn't stand it and wanted to leave in a panic. I don't know that the veteran Sabusu would do and feel after seeing such a scene. He only had 800 people, and the Daurs would not be able to hold on if he didn't rely on these temporary Mongols and Daurs to win over them. But at such a disadvantage, even if the people were still in a state of being in a state of turmoil, he would never be able to stop those messy herders. He could only use both soft and hard pressure to hold one of them.

"This Junggar Mongolia is also a desperate man. Since it has fought with the Qing Dynasty, why do we take the initiative to provoke the Russians and also squeeze the Kazakhs who are surrendering on the surface? Isn't this forcing everyone to oppose themselves? How can we fight with the Qing people?" After lit a pipe and let the spicy tobacco smell soak their lung leaves, Major Bei Zhensheng's mind became clearer. He continued to say to himself: "Expanding the influence in the Mongolian world and controlling more Mongolian grassland lands is the basic policy of our Manchu and Mongolian pioneer team. In the past, we were struggling with Hulunbuir, and we were still worried about the Mongolian tribes who were interested in the Manchu Bogde Khan. Now if we start the action again, no one has the leisure and ability to cause trouble for us, right?"

"Sir, what should we do with these Russians?" After waiting for a while, seeing Major Bei Zhensheng finally stopped talking to himself, the intelligence consultant asked again. After saying that, he glanced at the Russian envoys tied up and stood there. Gagarin, the chief military and political officer of the Nerchinsk, looked at him for a moment, but did not speak.

"Let's send it to Vladivostok first. This matter is not small and we have no right to deal with it separately," explained Bei Zhensheng.

"Boom! Boom!" There was another terrifying sound of shell bombings in the city ahead, and even someone's terrible screams of exclamation that the city wall was about to collapse.

"Continue the artillery until the city breaks." After the messenger issued the latest order to the artillery, Major Bei Zhensheng had no more orders. The infantry was ready for battle and the cavalry could attack at any time. Everyone strictly followed the plan, and there was nothing to say.

The fierce artillery continued until the evening, and the East Coast artillery men became erect. They poured the shells and gunpowder that they had finally brought over. In this cold and cold day, many East Coast artillery brothers even took off their coats and shot at the enemy desperately. The fierce artillery fire made the enemy unable to raise their heads and screamed in pain.

Just as the sun was about to set, a section of the city wall on the east side of Naowen City finally couldn't hold on with the bombardment of cannons and fell down with a bang. Looking around, the dozen or so giant logs were either interrupted or beaten to the side, but in short, they could no longer play any defensive role.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Pegasandao Army from North Korea gritted their teeth. Under the cover of artillery, they fought steadily all the way, suppressing the enemy with dense muskets, and then occupied the gap in the city wall. Seeing this, the Qing army naturally did not dare to neglect. The veteran general Sabusu showed his bravery. He personally led hundreds of elite Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners to meet him, and he was weak and crazy to prevent the Koreans from breaking into the city. The Koreans were caught off guard at the beginning and were a little confused by the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, and suffered great losses. At the critical moment, the artillery soldiers on the east coast came reinforcements, and they used shotguns at close range to knock the Qing army back with fierce counterattack. The side effect was that they also killed a large number of North Korean soldiers who were entangled with the Qing army, with about one hundred people, but this was worth it (the Koreans are not humans...).

The new soldiers of the 21st Infantry Regiment quickly controlled the city gate while the Koreans were fighting with the Qing army, and then opened it, which further aggravated the chaos of the Qing army and made them not know how to counterattack. After all, they only had more than a thousand people, and half of them were Mongols and Daurs who did not have much combat experience.

At the critical moment, North Korean musketeer Jin Sanpao and his cousin Jin Yueban shot together to injure the Qing army's chief general Sabusu, which directly led to the collapse of the Qing army. Major Bei Zhensheng, who was standing on the high platform, was overjoyed and immediately ordered the cavalry to prepare and intercept the Qing army officers and soldiers who might escape at any time.

At this point, there is no suspense to victory. The remaining main task is to kill and injure the enemy as much as possible to prevent them from fleeing in the chaos and entering the Hulunbuir grassland, which may cause trouble for the advance detachment that is performing tasks locally. To a certain extent, the war there may be more important than the Naowen City.
