Before the 1870s, if you wanted to be a doctor in Europe, you would be considered unqualified if you didn't know how to phlebotomize.
Starting from the time of the Romans in the 2nd century AD, European doctors believed that the methods for treating fever patients were nothing more than the following: bloodletting, vomiting, blistering, use of laxatives, pain relief, etc., in order to achieve a perfect balance of body fluids. If after
If the patient's condition remains the same after a series of twists and turns, then the above measures are repeated. Historically, this is how the 67-year-old Washington was played to death. It is said that in the 12 hours before his death, he was released by the doctor for about 2,300 yuan.
More than 100 milliliters of blood...
Rumyantsev is 66 years old this year, which is quite a long life in this era. At the moment when the North Navy rushed into the smoke-filled city of Krasnoyarsk holding a red flag, the commander-in-chief had been brutally killed
More than a thousand milliliters of blood were drained.
When a company commander surnamed Peng of the Northern Navy was passing by a courtyard with his men, he heard a deep and deep singing faintly coming from inside through the courtyard wall. The voice sounded very solemn and solemn, which triggered him
of curiosity.
This place was not hit by artillery shells, so lucky!
He wanted to grab someone from the street and ask... By the way, there was no one on the street for a long time. The civilians who survived the bombardment were either hiding in churches or in the county library.
When Captain Peng led his men around to the closed main door, he felt that this was definitely not a church. You must know that the Northern Navy has marched thousands of miles westward from Usolye. There are various churches made of wood, stone, and a mixture of wood and stone.
I almost vomited when I saw it. There was a "two horizontal and one vertical" cross on the roof of every church, and there were also many clergymen wearing black or white robes.
"Boom~~!"
"Open the door!"
After a while, the large wooden door opened a narrow gap with a creak, and an old man with gray hair and beard appeared in front of him, his eyes full of hostility and contempt.
Several soldiers from the Northern Navy suddenly became furious. Why are they pretending? A loser should look like a loser! Thinking of this, several people stepped forward and pushed the door open. The old man couldn't dodge, so he took two steps back and fell down.
on the ground.
"Whose house is this? What are those people doing in the house?" Captain Peng has stayed in Irkutsk for two years. Although his pronunciation of Russian is not accurate, he still has no problem communicating in daily life.
"Yes, someone is about to go to heaven, and confession and communion are being held there. Have mercy on him! Don't disturb an old man's confession before his death."
After hearing this, Captain Peng hesitated for a moment, and then stopped his men from searching. He apologized to the old man, and then left with his men.
At this time, in a dimly lit room on the second floor of the main building in the courtyard, more than a dozen people were whispering, their voices intermittent and continuous. The previous movement at the gate made these people feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, and some even
They took out their pistols and prepared to resist. When Bei Haijun left, they breathed a sigh of relief and turned their sad and frightened eyes to the door leading to the bedroom next door.
After a while, the door was gently opened, and Rumyantsev's adjutant appeared in front of everyone with a serious face, and whispered: "Everyone, please come in."
Several generals present, the mayor of Krasnoyarsk, and a few remaining city councilors walked in one after another on the soft carpet with fear and uneasiness.
Rumyantsev was lying on a big bed in the room at the moment, covered with a quilt from the waist down. His broad and round forehead was covered with meticulously combed white hair, and his originally rosy face had turned pale. Above his head,
It is a portrait of the Virgin, with two fat hands stretched out from under the quilt and placed on both sides of the body. There is a candle inserted between the thumb and forefinger of his right hand. A doctor kneels in front of the bed, using his hands.
Hold on to the candle.
What is held at this time is the anointing ceremony of the dying person.
Several clergymen in gorgeous attire stood on both sides of the bedside. They held lit candles in their hands and prayed slowly and solemnly. After entering the room, everyone seemed to be in a church, with men and women separated by the bedside.
Everyone on both sides was silent and kept making signs of the cross with their hands. Then, the monks' chanting prayers, low singing, and the sound of moving footsteps and sighs in silence were heard in the room.
After all, Zhao Xin never saw Rumyantsev alive, and of course, he didn't see him dead either. He didn't even know that his opponent had been killed by quacks.
Just as he rode into this most important city of Tsarist Russia in Central Siberia with his guard battalion, Peter Alexandrovich Rumyantsev finally breathed his last. He was 66 years old. Poor
The old man died not so much from infection after high fever, but from severe shock caused by severe blood loss.
The body of the Commander-in-Chief was collected secretly by his adjutants and several doctors, and then transported out of the city by carriage on the night of the third day. When the news of Rumyantsev's death and the Russian army's defeat reached St. Petersburg
, it’s already the end of October.
By this time, all the tasks of the North Navy in the entire battle were coming to an end, and only the last target of the joint attack between the North and the South was left, Yeniseisk.
Zhao Xin had no time to delay. He ordered the Second Regiment and the First Cavalry Battalion to garrison Krasnoyarsk. At the same time, he appointed Zhao Jiuzang as the director of the local Military Control Commission. Then he led the rest of the team on the plundered boats and went straight to the Third Army.
That city more than a hundred kilometers away.
If Irkutsk was the outpost of Sino-Russian trade in the 18th century, then Yeniseisk was the commodity transit point for East-West trade. As the trade center of the Kolivan Province of the Tsarist Russian Empire, Yeniseisk was at this time
During the most prosperous period in history, the city's permanent population reached more than 5,000 people.
Tea, rhubarb, silk, cotton, and even various goods shipped from Europe were all sold here and shipped to various places in the east and west via waterways and land.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Only by capturing Krasnoyarsk and Yeniseisk together can the Northern Navy control the entire Yenisei River Basin, and
You can follow the Yenisei River into the Sanyinnuoyan tribe of Outer Mongolia to achieve an east-west pincer attack on the six Khalkha Mongolian tribes, and further extend your tentacles into the area south of the Altay Mountains.
When a ship carrying a large number of soldiers appeared on the Yenisei River, it quickly aroused the alert of the cargo fleet. However, it was already too late. The Huji troops who had arrived earlier had already sailed across the Yenisei River and the Kremlin.
At the confluence of the Mi River, we established a position three kilometers northwest of the city.
Due to the sudden arrival of the uninvited guests, the whole city soon fell into an atmosphere of panic. It has long been known to everyone that "Zadunaysky" led an army to go on an expedition. The local city council also specially raised funds from business groups for this purpose.
A batch of materials and military expenditures were provided, and manpower support was provided. However, no one expected that the Russian army would be defeated so quickly and so miserably. The rapid pincer attacks from the north and the south cut off Yeniseisk's access to external information.
On the fifth day after the arrival of Huji's troops, Zhao Xin led the southern troops on September 30 and appeared on the river bank five kilometers southeast of the city.
At this time, everyone in the city panicked. After emergency consultations, the city council sent representatives to negotiate with the North Navy.
Li Rui, who was in charge of the negotiations, told the Russian negotiators that Krasnoyarsk has been captured by us, and the Russian army of more than 80,000 people has been completely defeated by the North Navy. You are required to surrender unconditionally within 24 hours, otherwise we will start
Massive bombardment.
"We allow local businessmen and residents to leave by boat with their belongings. We have no interest in your personal wealth."
In fact, Jiuzang who was guarding Krasnoyarsk also ordered the expulsion of the local Tsarist Russian residents. Because of the large-scale shelling, Zhao Xin did not want to leave a group of hostile people behind.
However, for the three negotiators, the idea of not plundering personal property is unbelievable! In these days, whenever the flames of war are brought to the territory of other countries, they all use war to support the war, and obtain material supplies through plundering the occupying country.
The city councilor among the three protested loudly: "Sir, it is unreasonable for you to do this! We are just a group of businessmen who abide by the law and have never persecuted any Chinese."
Li Rui said calmly: "Yes. It is precisely because of this that we allow you to leave with your personal belongings."
The regional bishop who came with him crossed himself on his chest and asked calmly: "We will not leave. This is a sacred territory given to us by God."
Li Rui said: "Father, I advise you to leave. None of us believe in your God."
Another businessman said: "You are launching a war against the great Tsarist Empire. The Queen will never condone such behavior. Don't you think about the consequences?"
"Haha," Li Rui smiled and said nonchalantly: "When your queen launched the war of aggression against Heilongjiang, she should have considered the consequences of today. According to our commander-in-chief, you are all asking for it.
, which is totally deserved.”
The three representatives were furious at Li Rui's words, but they were still pleading, hoping to get peace. Let alone where the family would move to, the goods in the warehouse could not be transported in a day or two.
Li Ruidao: "Don't blame us for not saying it before. Beihai Town has to tax commercial transactions. The taxation system of your first, second and third guilds must be abolished!"
"Okay, how will you tax it?"
"Five percent of the single transaction amount, and all commodity transactions must be conducted in the trading venue established by us."
"What?! So many!" The three representatives suddenly cursed in their hearts. This was really a group of robbers.
You must know that in the city of Yeniseisk at this time, there are more than 140 merchants in the first guild, and more than 1,200 merchants in the second guild. If this tax is based on the transaction amount, that is
What a huge sum of money.
"Three of you, please go back and discuss with the others whether you want to surrender unconditionally or prepare to resist stubbornly. I might as well tell you that tens of thousands of Russian soldiers have been killed by us and their corpses are scattered everywhere. The number of people in your city is not enough to fill your teeth.
Sewn."
Later, when the three men brought the conditions of the Northern Navy back to the city, the merchants in the city council immediately exploded. As the most influential figure among the local merchants, Matvey Fei, a big fur merchant of the First Guild,
Dorovich Horoshikh was so angry that he jumped to his feet and kept roaring and cursing the Chinese outside the city.
Charging a tax of 5% of the transaction amount is tantamount to digging up his lifeblood. But if he leaves here and returns to Tobolsk, it means that everything has to start again. The hard work of generations of family members over the past hundred years will be
There will be nothing left.
"I don't believe these Chinese can defeat the invincible 'Zadunayski'. He has defeated 150,000 Turks. The Chinese are nothing!"
"What I'm saying is that even if there are 100,000 pigs, we can't catch them all in a day or two. These Chinese must have been defeated by the commander-in-chief and fled to us."
"But there are thousands of them! When we went to their military camp, the soldiers looked neat and murderous."
"Andreevich, you were deceived by the illusion they created!" Matvey laughed at the businessman and then said to a member of the House of Representatives: "I propose to hold a vote immediately and recruit soldiers in the city immediately to cooperate.
Garrison local troops and completely wipe out those Chinese! We will never compromise!"
In matters in the world, whoever is richest often has the greatest say, and it is the same in Yeniseisk. Except for those Jewish businessmen who do not support or oppose, other Russian businessmen have weighed their opinions on Matt.
Wei expressed his support for the proposal. Since the North Korean Navy only gave 24 hours, after the vote, someone proposed launching a night sneak attack, which was unanimously approved again.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The mayor saw it and said, okay, then prepare to fight. So martial law began in the city, and adult males from each family were organized to receive weapons and ammunition, and compiled
For temporary infantry battalions.
At this time, merchants and fishermen from the fishing guild also joined in, preparing to launch a fire attack on the Northern Navy fleet from the water. Speaking of which, the fishing industry on the Yenisey River is also a big business. In these years, the fishing industry in various rivers in Siberia
There were so many fish that later generations could hardly imagine. The fish schools in spring, summer and autumn were all so loud that they could be scooped out in a basin.
However, no matter how noisy these people were, the Beihai Navy, which had been prepared for a long time, showed them what it meant to "hit their head against an iron plate" that night.
After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the Yeniseisk soldiers and civilians who launched the night attack suffered a total of more than 1,000 casualties. The Northern Navy also launched an indiscriminate shelling of buildings in the city that night, causing hundreds more casualties and triggering a massacre.
A fire.
By the next morning, the mayor had completely collapsed after counting the losses. The entire city had a population of just over 5,000, and one-third of its men were lost in one night. How dare you resist?
White flag surrender.
So at noon that day, under the fear and hatred of the Tsarist Russian people who were hiding behind the door, the Northern Navy lined up and entered Yeniseisk. The local garrison commander handed Li Rui, who represented Zhao Xin, in front of the city council.
After putting on the saber, Li Rui tasted the black bread and salt handed by the mayor to show his acceptance of the other party's obedience.
At this point, the battle of the Northern Navy in 1790 finally came to an end, and the three-stage combat objectives set by Zhao Xin and the staff were all achieved. The only thing that Zhao Xin regrets is that Rumyantsev was not captured, which is not a big deal.
Perfect.
Just looking at the map, the area under the control of Beihai Town, which has not yet entered the customs, has exceeded that of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, reaching tens of millions of square kilometers; it extends to the Yenisey River in the west, the East Siberian Sea in the north, the Sea of Okhotsk in the east, and the Sea of Okhotsk in the south.
To Hunchun.
However, Zhao Xin and his companions still have a lot to do to bring such a vast area under effective rule.
