As for the mission to go north, the two of them had discussed it in bed.

News came from Fuso that the Chinese trade war in Hakodate was attacked by Tsarist Russia's Far East Fleet.

In recent years, Tsarist Russia's expansion in the Far East has accelerated. On March 20th of the third year of Xianfeng, Nicholas I ordered the occupation of Sakhalin Island. In early May, Nevelskoy sent troops to invade Haji Bay and named it Nicholas I without authorization.

Emperor's Port.

At the same time, they also sent a letter to the Manchu Qing Dynasty Court, requesting the redrawing of the Northeastern boundaries.

Tsarist Russia's letter did not receive a response from the Manchu Qing court.

On July 26, Nevelskoy led Orlov and others to take the "Baikal" and sail directly to Sakhalin Island. From the northern end, he traveled south along the east coast and arrived at the southernmost tip of the island, Avani Cape, and then turned to Tatar.

Tartar Strait.

On August 29, Orlov sailed to the west coast of Sakhalin Island and built the invasion stronghold Ilyinsk Post on the island. On October 4, the Tsarist Russian army forcibly landed in Avani Bay, established an invasion post, and prepared

Occupied Sakhalin Island for a long time.

Originally, these things could not reach Dong Liang's ears.

But these Tsarist Russian colonists in the Far East were so arrogant that they even fled to the north of Fuso.

When I saw a rather prosperous commercial building built in Hakodate, I wanted to seize it.

The Chinese trading station in Hakodate radiated to northern Fuso and also traded with indigenous tribes on Sakhalin Island and the Far East.

Tsarist Russia thought that the fighting strength here was the same as that of the tribes in the Far East, so they sent two ships and more than a hundred people ashore to attack.

The Fuso people in Hakodate really didn't have much fighting power and were simply scattered.

However, when they attacked the Ryukyu Hall, they encountered resistance from a squadron of Ryukyu Hall guards.

The guards at these trading stations were actually Chinese troops.

The Ryukyu Hall they were stationed in was equivalent to the concession set up by the Chinese in Fuso.

The Tsarist Russian colonists in the Far East were not actually regular troops, they were just a ragtag group of people.

The guards of the commercial station gave them a head-on blow.

The colonial troops of Tsarist Russia were surprised to find that the Easterners guarding the trading stations were not only equipped with muskets, but also had accurate marksmanship.

When these Tsarist Russians shouted "Ula" and launched a charge, the opponent even brought out rockets and bombarded their charge array.

In the end, less than half of the Tsarist Russian colonial army escaped.

However, they changed their strategy and sent their own fleet to blockade Hakodate.

Several transport ships were robbed without knowing the situation.

The news reached Zhong Runyi first.

Zhong Runyi did not dare to neglect and reported to Dong Liang quickly.
