Chapter 814 I Will Die Here!!!

Eastern Siberia, Yakutsk.

The yellow dragon flag symbolizing our big green fruit is still flying over Yakutsk. It is already June, and the short summer in Siberia is about to end. After being besieged for two or three months, the Russian-Qing coalition defended Yakutsk with their blood.

This is still the territory of the Russians and the remnants of the Qing Dynasty.

It’s just that the twenty or thirty artillery pieces of different ages in Yakutsk are completely finished.

The National Defense Army didn’t have many cannons anywhere, less than forty to be precise, but they had a pair of "clairvoyance", and all of them were new cannons with superior performance, not to mention the artillery in Yakutsk. Twenty or thirty artillery pieces looked not less than the enemy’s number, but the casting age of the cannons could span more than a hundred years.

The cold wind blowing from the Arctic Ocean made the temperature in Yakutsk seem a bit cold, just like the late autumn season in late August and early September in the inland.

The north wind often rolled up dust that covered the ground and sky, and it was wrapped into a yellow dragon that rushed through the dilapidated castle, making a rustling sound.

When Yakutsk's city defense artillery was destroyed bit by bit by its counterparts outside, Chen Han's artillery had a new target - Yakutsk.

The continuous bombing almost destroyed all the wooden houses in Yakutsk.

As mentioned before, the houses in Yakutsk are built on wooden pillars, one meter above the ground. So 90% of the houses here are wooden Siberian-style wooden houses, that is, the kind with very thick walls and ceilings.

Now, almost all the people in Yakutsk live in the open air. This can be done in the summer, but when the cold winter comes, it will be a big trouble.

The sky gradually became gloomy, and dark clouds piled up from the northern sky layer by layer. The sky seemed to be splashed with basins of black water, and the whole feeling was extremely depressing.

Or in the eyes of the guards in this last fortress surrounded by 30,000 to 40,000 national defense troops for more than two months, everything seemed depressing.

There were more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians in Yakutsk, of which less than 10,000 were defeated soldiers, and the remaining more than 20,000 were Russians and remnant Qing bannermen who had fled here. As for the other Russians and Eight Bannermen, if they were collected by the national defense troops, they would all be sent to labor camps.

This has become the term for a concentration of "criminals", with a rapid expansion of the establishment, and once again entering the eyes of the Chinese people.

You should know that most of the labor reformers sentenced in the anti-Qing war have been released in this year.

Ordinary bannermen only served for ten years, and it ended long ago. The Eight Banners who are still in custody are only those who were hereditary assistants or above, or those who were sent to serve as officials of the fifth rank or above. These people have to serve for twenty years.

But any interest group in this world is in the shape of a "pagoda", and the fewer people there are at the top.

Although there are many families with officials in the Eight Banners, they are still a minority compared to the majority of bannermen. Therefore, after fifteen years in Chengtian, there are really not many Eight Banners in the labor camp, and the Green Camp has been gone for a long time.

But now this group of remnant Qing children will be sentenced to twenty years.

Alessandro wrapped in a woolen coat walked into the bunker where Yongsheng was. As shells were constantly fired into the city, the only buildings left in Yakutsk were mostly used as warehouses. There were only a few houses that could be lived in, and no one felt at ease. The Russian-Qing coalition built a bunker in Yakutsk as a place for each other to stay and a refuge.

"Your Majesty, the opportunity has come! A large-scale cooling is coming soon!" Alessandro wrinkled his nose slightly while speaking. The mint smell in this bunker was a bit too strong, but there was no way. A big problem in the bunker was hygiene. The smell of sweat, feces and urine from the human body was too bad.

But Yongsheng, the former Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty, has been staying in this safe bunker for at least a month! Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all here. No matter how careful and dedicated the people who serve him are, they can't stop the bad smell.

And everyone knows that the big green fruit is about to end. The people below are getting lazier and lazier. Only some people around Yongsheng still respectfully treat him as the emperor. Even Yongsheng himself no longer regards himself as an emperor. He is a king who has lost his country and race.

Hearing the four words "the opportunity has come", Yongsheng's face illuminated by the faint candlelight appeared in front of Alessandro. He finally raised his head.

"Major, I will not seek political asylum, I will not go to the UK, nor to St. Petersburg,... I will die here!!!"

Yongsheng's face was very pale, and when he spoke, he could not give people the feeling of being brave enough to die for his country, but it was like Siberia in winter, which made people feel cold to the bone. But this also shows that Yongsheng was determined to die!

The Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, and only Wang Chengen was left by his side. He Aixinjueluo Yongsheng also became a king who lost his country and his clan, but he was luckier than Emperor Chongzhen because he had so many important ministers around him.

Delentai died, and Helin may or may not have died, but he still had Eldenbao by his side.

There are still hundreds of thousands of loyal and brave people who are willing to die for the Qing Dynasty!

As the emperor of Daqingguo, Yongsheng had long put his life and death aside. The Ming Dynasty had kings who died for their country, so how could the Qing Dynasty not have a fierce emperor now?

Alexandrov, former adjutant of Baron Faraleyev, the governor of the Amur River Governorate, and now a liaison officer between Russia and Qing, is a small and unimportant character, but at this moment he is planning a big business in his heart. If he can lead the Tatars out of the city, there will be no flying money falling on him.

God can prove his innocence. He did not surrender to the Chinese, nor did he harm the Russians. He only harmed the Tatars. If he can take part of the Tatar army out of Yakutsk, he will win a new freedom and a generous bonus. This started from the moment a letter suddenly appeared under his pillow in his bedroom.

To be honest, he never thought that Chinese spies would appear so close to him. They could put a letter under his pillow without anyone noticing. Then they could also cut off his head when he was sleeping at night?

Alexandrov's first reaction was to report to the higher-ups. He reported to the higher-ups that there were Chinese spies in Yakutsk now.

But the remaining rationality made him stop in his tracks. After two days of repeated thinking, Alessandro, who was trembling with fear, finally contacted the Chinese. After some bargaining, a deal concerning Alessandro's personal treatment was reached.

This does not mean that Alessandro is a villain, a coward + traitor, but the situation forced him to find a way, but the huge psychological and status contrast made him feel uncontrollable anger.

He was the adjutant of the Governor-General before, but since the murder of Baron Faraleyev, his status has plummeted. The new Lord Repnin could not use him as his adjutant because he already had an adjutant by his side.

So Alessandro's status has dropped greatly, and his psychology can hardly bear this huge gap. Because of the changes in personal environment and social status, he has a huge resentment in his heart.

"No, Your Majesty. You don't need to go to England or St. Petersburg! What you need more now is freedom, to get away from Yakutsk, a place where you are doomed to die."

"I think, Your Majesty, if you want to sacrifice, you are more willing to sacrifice on the battlefield, causing more trouble and more losses to the Chinese."

It must be said that Alessandro knew Yongcheng's intention very well. Although Yongcheng was determined to die, he really didn't want to learn from Chongzhen to hang himself/cut his neck to death. As Alessandro said, he wanted to die on the battlefield.

This may be a kind of resentment that supports him. Yongcheng, who hates Chen Han to the bone, wants to bite Chen Han even if he bites. So, he really doesn't want to die in vain.

Alexandro forced out some friendly smiles and patted Yongcheng on the shoulder: "Really, I'm not lying to you. Tomorrow night is the best opportunity to break out of Yakutsk!"

"Based on my many years of experience in Siberia, there will be heavy fog in Yakutsk tomorrow night. Some Russian troops wanted to take the opportunity to break out, but they were rejected by Duke Hailancha and Agalizov. They believed that even if they could break out in the fog, without the reserve materials here, they would be wiped out. It would be better to stick to Yakutsk."

Alexandro laughed, "But I think that Your Majesty would rather die in battle outside than stay in Yakutsk until winter and then be frozen to death in the ice and snow in winter."

Alexandro smiled embarrassedly. Not only could he get a reward from Chen Han for this deal, but he could also reap a lot of profits from Yongcheng. This is a win-win situation.

The National Defense Army might know, but Yongcheng definitely doesn't.

At this moment, Yongcheng's pale face flushed with excitement. Alessandro's words touched his heart. But Yongcheng would not believe Alessandro so easily. He pursed his lips and said in an unbelieving tone: "Breakout? Major, if I remember correctly, there are at least 30,000 Chen Ni troops outside the city. They have surrounded Yakutsk as a whole. You still say breakout?" The trenches dug by Chen Ni outside, as well as the positions and fences arranged, are not for show.

Yongcheng didn't care what Hailancha said at all. Anyway, after arriving in Yakutsk, he completely lost control of the army. He could only call on the guards who had 300 to 400 people left around him. The leader of the guards was Eldenbao.

In the past two or three months of siege rocket bombardment and artillery battles, Yakutsk was at an absolute disadvantage. There were not many rockets left here, and they were used up early. Most of the artillery forts were open-air and semi-enclosed, and there were no new enclosed artillery forts. The Russians did not have the strength to fortify Yakutsk, a city located in the hinterland.

Besides, the geographical conditions here made it difficult to fortify.

Therefore, during the siege, after the initial period of time, the losses of the defenders were greater than those of the attackers. If the residents in the city were counted, four or five thousand people had died from diseases, falling shells, and explosions. Now the morale in Yakutsk is low, and everyone is in despair. Because everyone knows that Yakutsk cannot hold on, and this winter is the end of them.

The days of waiting to die are not easy!

Countless thoughts arise in my heart every moment, and I don’t even know what I see, which will cause some feelings.

Alessandro was lifeless at first, but now that he has found a solution, his face is rosy and his expression is calm, and he is somewhat fearless in the face of danger: "Your Majesty, the heavy fog tomorrow night will be our only chance. So. From my many years of experience in Siberia, there will be heavy fog at most one or two o'clock tonight, and it is impossible to disperse before noon. "Such heavy fog often occurs in Yakutsk at this time of the year.

The end of June and the beginning of July is when Yakutsk turns from summer to winter. What? You mean autumn? Is there autumn in Yakutsk? This is the ice city of Russia.

When summer comes, it's winter. You don’t have to wait until August for heavy snowfall. If it comes earlier, it will be very cold in mid-July.

Yongxun was not surprised. He had been in Eastern Siberia for more than a day or two, and he knew that this place could not be treated with 'common sense'.

It is said in Tang poems that snow falls in Hutian in August. This is absolutely correct.

"This is the coldest place in the world. Nowadays, thick fog will naturally appear in this season. Although this will not reduce the number of Chinese people, nor will it make them less vigilant, it is definitely the first time that His Majesty leaves Jaku. Tsk’s best chance.”

Yakutsk is close to the Lena River, but the Chinese did not take any precautions on the west bank of the Lena River. As long as they could rush to the other side of the river, Yongxun had hope of escaping.

"Haha, very good, very good. Even if you die in the Lena River, it is better than staying here as a rat." Yongxun's eyes were ignited with fire.

Alessandro almost jumped with joy, knowing that he had made the deal. There is also a Buryat battalion under him, with only a hundred guns and about 200 men in the whole battalion, all of whom are Buryat Mongols who chose Russia in the first place.

Life now is not an ordinary hardship.

The fighting spirit is extremely low, because they all know that their own family members may have fallen into the hands of the Han a long time ago. Their women have probably been suppressed by their compatriots who followed the Chinese, and their cattle, sheep, chariots and horses all belong to their former compatriots.

But these Buryat Mongols did not feel angry because of this, and it inspired them to fight to the end. But everyone completely softened and softened. Like a man without bones, a real rabble.

Alessandro wanted to use this battalion to win over Yongxun. In his words, he changed the battalion sent to surrender to the Chinese into an active attack, so that Yongxun and the others in the other direction could successfully break through.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with sending the more than 200 people as prisoners. This would also earn him more than 2,000 more rewards. A person is worth ten Chinese dollars, and those with special status will also receive special bonuses. For example, Yongxun in front of him, whether he is alive or dead, he is worth one hundred thousand Chinese dollars. This is more than two thousand pounds. Alessandro's most precious child is Yongxun, and he will definitely trick him out of the city.

"Then let's make a deal. Let's take action tomorrow night. I don't want to wait here to die."

Tomorrow it will be Alessandro's turn to lead people on duty at a position in the northwest corner of Yakutsk. This is a good job that he got for paying money. "Your Majesty, you have to pack up and get ready to go! But you must not arouse others' suspicion and attention."

If Hirancha and Agalizov knew of his plans, Alessandro would undoubtedly die.
