Sixty-Four Villages East of the River[]
Lieutenant-General Konstantin Nikolaevich Gribskii, ordered the expulsion of all Qing subjects who remained north of the river.[2] This included the residents of the villages, and Chinese traders and workers who lived in Blagoveshchensk proper, where they numbered anywhere between one-sixth and one-half of the local population of 30,000.[2][3] They were taken by the local police and driven into the river to be drowned. Those who could swim were shot by the Russian forces.[4]
