lied to Kangxi

Chapter 256 Everything is ready
Yangguli was in a dilemma, and it was Yuzhu's turn to show off.

Yuzhu said coldly: "How can the emperor's will be child's play?"

Yangguli hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed heavily, and said in a trembling voice: "I have no intention of neglecting the emperor's will, but the reindeer are indeed free-range and very difficult to catch..." explained a lot.

Yuzhu secretly felt it was funny, Yuzhu had seen a lot of people like Yangguli.

It's really the same as what Kangxi said, fearing power but not virtue.

In fact, when Kangxi defeated the Raksha people, he also cleaned up Sauron's army and killed many people, which shocked them.

The elite of Sauron's troops are mainly light cavalry.

The warriors under the emperor of France consisted of elite guards and hussars.

The guns of the Qing Dynasty were powerful, and the guns of the Junggar had a long range and a fast rate of fire. This was the root cause of the stalemate in the Qing Dynasty for nearly 70 years.

In the last battle of Ulan Butong, Fuquan's Qing army tried to use heavy iron-core copper cannons to attack, but it failed and was defeated by Galdan.

In the Battle of Zhaomoduo, Galdan still adopted the classic Junggar camel formation defense and cavalry flank attack strategy.

However, the Qing army had learned its lesson and used lighter sub-cannons in sufficient numbers.As a result, Galdan's camel formation was bombarded by the Qing's son and mother artillery.

Those who are in the camel formation will knock down the camel, lie behind the camel and shoot with muskets.

No matter how rotten the mother-child artillery of the Qing Dynasty was, it had a much longer range and greater power than the muskets of this era.

Kangxi took away the Raksha devils with his left hand, and conquered the Sauron tribe with his right hand, relying on artillery and guns.

The leader of the Raksha bandit, Khabarov, led people to invade the east, and succeeded repeatedly, relying on muskets and a few small cannons.

In fact, the entire Raksha country invaded eastward and took Siberia completely, not by a large army, but by a gang of hundreds of people.

The Rakshasa people, the largest number of troops sent, did not exceed 500 people.

Of course, Kangxi was not as wise as he boasted.

At least, after Galdan's death, Kangxi did not learn the lesson that Junggar's guns were better than Qing's, so that Qing's firearms battalions were always equipped with outdated shotguns instead of flintlock guns that had come out long ago.

In fact, Kangxi had played with flintlock guns long ago, and had also seen the power of the British large naval guns imitated by Nan Huairen.

For the self-interest of the Bannermen, Kangxi did not adopt more advanced military equipment in the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion.

Yuzhu led the army outside, so naturally he didn't want to offend the local snake.

Seeing that Yang Guli knelt in fright, Yuzhu said: "Director Yang, it is not easy to disobey the emperor's will. If the reindeer is missing, I can only make up for it with other supplies. Otherwise, I will not be good in front of the emperor." , do you have a good word for you?"

Seeing the turning point, Yangguli hurriedly said with a smile on his face, "Cows, sheep, horses, good leather, as long as you want it, I will do my best to repay it."

Speaking of the issue of repaying service, whether it is the Rakshasa or the Qing Dynasty, they all adopt the method of levying leather taxes on the frontier ethnic groups.

The various ethnic groups in the frontier must not have much money.However, they live by fishing and hunting, and they have a lot of good leather goods in their hands.

You must know that high-quality leather, whether it is in Forty-Nine City, St. Petersburg, or Paris, France, belongs to the concept of hard currency.

Horse leather shrouds are common throughout the world.

What's more, the top-grade sable furs presented by Sauron's department are completely sought-after in Forty-Nine City.As long as it appears, it will be snatched up.

Why is Xiuyun's family not short of money?Isn't it just the fur goods at home, there are too many to sell?
In these years, everyone pays attention to being close to the water and getting the moon first. Sabsu is the general of Heilongjiang, so naturally there are a lot of fur goods in the family.

In fact, what Yuzhu lacks most is not meat, but vegetables.

Ever since they landed at the mouth of the Tumen River, Yuzhu's small team ate less and less vegetables.

Fortunately, Yuzhu was clever, and obtained a lot of Chinese cabbage and white radish from the hands of the local officials in North Korea.These two vegetables are very resistant to storage.

In Sijiu City, Chinese cabbage is the main vegetable for winter.

Yuzhu heard from Niu Tai that Sauron also had a tradition of hoarding Chinese cabbage and white radish, and they all hid them in the cellar.

Since Yanguli couldn't produce so many reindeer, he could only use Chinese cabbage to top it.

In Siberia in winter, Chinese cabbage is really a strategic material.

Because, if you don't eat vegetables for a long time, you will definitely get scurvy.

As a result, several thousand catties of Chinese cabbage in the cellar of Yaksa City were knocked away by Yu Zhu.

To be honest, thousands of Chinese cabbages just look like a lot. If the soldiers are really allowed to eat them openly, they won't last long.

Yakutsk is more than 1000 kilometers away from Yaksa, and few people can explain the situation there clearly.

Yuzhu must be on guard against the possible heavy snowstorm.

Yakesa was the last city where Yu Zhu led his troops out of the country. Naturally, his small team prepared as much supplies as they could.

At this time, Lu Wu had already commanded the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion to file down from the carriage, and with crisp passwords, they officially started to line up.

Just now, when Yuzhu was negotiating with Yangguli, the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion were all changing into high leather military boots in the car.

Because the snow in Yaksa has already reached more than a foot deep. If you wear cloth shoes and land on the ground, the cloth shoes will soon be soaked.

In such a cold day, if your shoes are soaked and your feet are frostbitten, you will be in big trouble.

"All are there, stand at attention, look to the right, and report the number." Following a series of commands from Lu Wu, the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion began to line up and report the number.

At the beginning, Yuzhu, a military rookie, made a lot of jokes, and there were hundreds of numbers in the report.

Now, after summarizing, there is a brand-new reporting method, with the shed as the unit, and each whistle is summarized to the team officer, and finally reported to Yuzhu by Lu Wu.

Looking at the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion who were in good order and full of energy, Yang Guli and the others were dumbfounded on the spot.

When Sauron fights, he pays attention to fighting bravely, and he has never said it neatly.

However, the soldiers of the Wuwei battalion under Yuzhu, whether viewed horizontally or vertically, are straight and straight lines that are convincing.

Yaksa is the destination of this trip, and the campsite is naturally prepared long ago.

"Put the gun on the shoulder and walk in unison." After Lu Wu gave the order, he led the soldiers with high spirits and walked towards the military camp in the city with neat steps.

The high leather military boots, all in one color, made a crisp sound of "click" when they stepped on the thick snow.

Just now, when the team didn't move, Yangguli didn't notice anything special.

Now, the Wuwei battalion started to move, and Yang Guli was immediately dumbfounded. The distance between each row and each row could not be seen with the naked eye.

They were all leading soldiers, and Yang Guli saw the way at once. The gangsters of the Raksha Kingdom, in front of this small team in front of them, were like bandits who were not of the same rank, and they were completely incomparable.

The army entered the camp, while Yu Zhu and E Min, accompanied by Yang Guli, entered the Yaksa Governor's Mansion.

It is said to be the general manager's mansion, but it is actually a large courtyard built of wood.

What kind of beautiful buildings can there be in the governor's mansion in the backcountry?
It's just that in the official hall of Yangguli, there is a hot kang burning.

After entering the room, Yu Zhu and E Min each took off their mink fur cloaks, and then sat down as guests and hosts.

Yuzhu is the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy, sitting in the center, Emin on the left, and Yangguli on the right.

While drinking tea, Yu Zhu asked Yang Guli: "Director Yang, is there anyone in the city who is familiar with the situation in Nerchinsk?"

So far, except for Niu Tai, including E Min, no one knows that Yuzhu actually has Yakutsk's idea.

In fact, starting from Yaksa, it is more than 1000 kilometers to Nerchinsk, and it is only a few hundred kilometers away from Yakutsk.

Unlike Yongzheng and Qianlong, who could not fight, Kangxi was a famous marshal who had fought for many years. He naturally understood a truth: generals are out and act on the fly, and the emperor's fate is not accepted.

The generals were issued a formation map, and the emperor who arranged the formation envoy was Zhao Guangyi, the donkey cart god of war, and it could not be Kangxi.

To put it bluntly, as long as Yuzhu took Yakutsk, grabbed grass and beat rabbits, and took advantage of the situation to clean up Nerchinsk, he would have achieved the combat goal set by Kangxi.

Fighting Yakutsk first is a worry. After Nerchinsk is captured, if a rout escapes by chance, it will startle the snake.

After Yakutsk succeeded, even if the defenders of Nerchinsk were alarmed, Yu Zhu was not too worried.

Because, Yuzhu has three treasures for fighting in winter, Niu Tai, Golden Eagle and Daxue.

Very early on, Niu Tai was at home, training the golden eagle to fly into the air with a thick hemp rope in its mouth, and using the lift of its huge wings, it hoisted the heavy snow, which was clinging to the hemp rope, to the wall.

The remaining work is also the most critical work.

The heavy snow, who understands human nature, bit one end of the thick hemp rope, bypassed arrow stacks, or hard objects such as flagpoles, and threw the other end down the city wall.

After the two ends of the ropes got off the wall, it was time for Niu Tai's special performance. He wrapped one end of the hemp rope around his waist, and with the assistance of Yu Zhu and Bai Xing, he quickly climbed up the wall.

Hehe, Niu Tai went up the wall, as long as he lowered the rope ladders he had prepared, the city wall would be dominated by the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion in a short time.

Of course, Niu Tai has also experimented many times, asking the golden eagle to hang Niu Tai with a rope around his waist to the city wall.

This is more convenient and faster!

For a small force attack, Yanguri needs to prepare not only reindeer and vegetables, but also a special guide.

In fact, Niu Tai also went to the Weiliu River.

However, the Weiliu River in winter has been frozen.

To be honest, it was not easy to find this frozen river in the snowy wilderness.

Of course, Yuzhu never fights unprepared. In his small team, there are two British sailors who are good at using quartermeters, sextants and dry compass.

During the Yuan Dynasty, China's water compass and dry compass were introduced to the West, and Westerners modified the dry compass.

During the Shunzhi period in the early Qing Dynasty, the dry compass transformed by Western craftsmen also entered China, and a Chinese and Western dry compass appeared.

This kind of dry compass is relatively finely manufactured, and all use magnetic needles, and the orientation is relatively stable.

Because it is easy to use and sensitive, it is almost the same as the modern compass.

Advanced technology will definitely change the shape of war!
