evil slave

It has been half a month since the war with the Russian army, and the scouts sent out did not bring back any information about the attack of the Russian army or the Qing army. This made Zhao Qiang heave a sigh of relief. While strengthening his guard, Hu Wang , Qi Zhuang and other high-ranking officers hurry up to train the army, because there is not much time left for Zhao Qiang, he must send troops in June, and occupy the Russian strongholds such as Gulihe City, Yask, and Duolunchan City before September, and will These areas are connected together to establish a base area that can be attacked and defended, with sufficient buffers. 【】Otherwise, the more you delay, the more dangerous it will be to Zhao Qiang. The cold air in Siberia is more dangerous than any enemy.The long winter will kill all Zhao Qiang's plans.

How to solve the military problems after winter is a top priority for Zhao Qiang, and he must make a plan in advance.But limited to being unfamiliar with this land, he didn't have a good idea, so he handed over this matter to Liu De, asking him to go deep into the people of all ethnic groups, learn from their winter experience, and sum it up to formulate a set of applicable A cold-proof method for army operations.

After the completion of the military and civilian structure of the general government, although all the work is preliminary, it will be gradually improved when it is spread out.A good start is a successful start.

Mincao's several divisions are already in operation. The Animal Husbandry Division has set up several grazing spots in the northeast of Shouyi City. While organizing grazing, it also organizes people to hoard hay.The Department of Land Reclamation has allocated a small amount of land to the free people and distributed them seeds, mainly wheat crops, and organized the untouchables to grow beans on the remaining small land for the food of the army, horses and livestock.The Department of Fisheries and Forestry was working step by step. Most of the people in Hezhe took fish from the river, and the logging work was also carried out in full swing. However, due to the limitation of tools and manpower, the amount of logging was not too much.The current focus of the Transportation Department is on the construction of brick kilns. According to the current progress, it will take half a month before the first bricks can be produced from the kiln.And in the short term, the Department of Transportation will still build four-sided roads with Suiui City as the center.

In the previous looting operation, Hu Wang brought back more than 160 carts of supplies from Mergen, and almost plundered all the wealth of the people of all ethnic groups in Mergen. In addition to food, he brought back a lot of daily necessities, such as oil, salt, cloth, etc. There was also a lot of silver and jewelry, and several carts of tea bricks were also brought back. Apart from allocating part of these materials to the army, some were also distributed to the civilian cao, and the rest were all collected and stored for use as strategic materials.

Shouyi City is not a place for the entire division to live, so the First Regiment set up camp in a valley ten miles east of Shouyi City, while the Infantry Regiment set up camp in various brigades.In addition to translation schools and hospitals, as well as the headquarters, most people have moved out of the city.

Out of concerns about venereal diseases, the Russian prostitute camp was disbanded after another collective consolation. The Russian women in the camp were voluntarily picked up by soldiers and sergeants, but they did not enter the barracks. Responsible for placement.A soldier can only go home to enjoy the Rakshasa woman he has received during the rest time.

The 420 Russian women were led away by 390 soldiers of various ethnic groups, while the Han soldiers received less than 30, and as before, they were simply regarded as a tool to vent.Except for Ma Long, the captain of the First Cavalry Battalion, who took one of the officers, no one else wanted it.

In the traditional concept of the Han people, these foreign women with high nose bridges, big eyes, and different skin colors are really not allowed to enter the house.The officers were very amused by Ma Long's idea of ​​taking a Rakshasa woman as his wife, and they often made fun of him.

On the sixth day of June, a large-scale braid-cutting movement was launched in Shouyi City.

As for the common people, the braid-cutting notices issued in the name of Wei Ji, the civil Cao official, were posted all over the conspicuous places, and several arresters and an interpreter were dispatched under each notice.

Under the interpreter's loud reading, the people of all ethnic groups who gathered under the notice knew that the Guanning Army was going to cut their braids. If you want to cut your braids, you will immediately know what Guan Ningjun is planning.Many people have been expecting the court to send people to rescue them. If the braids are cut off, the court army will think that they are rebels when they arrive. Therefore, people from all ethnic groups in Morgan are the main ones, and nearly [-] untouchables are assisted. The soldiers resisted the braid cutting.

But the resistance of the rebels was of no avail. After the First Cavalry Battalion swung their knives across the river like a drill, the people never heard the words of reluctance to cut their braids.The one hundred auxiliary soldiers acting as the arresters of the Department of Public Security played an exemplary role at this time. They took the lead in cutting off the braid at the back of their heads. Hesitant, wanting to be in front of the common people who do it first and then cut it themselves.Under their punching and kicking, the braid cutting that was scheduled for one day was completed in only half a day.Those who didn't have braids in the first place saved this matter, and looked at those braided people with mournful faces with some curiosity and a little fun.The children were still noisily picking up the braids that had been thrown on the ground and playing with them, shaking them around.

On the military side, something went wrong. Bagan's Second Cavalry Battalion refused to cut their braids.The soldiers of the first brigade had already cut off their braids, and except for the auxiliary soldiers, the infantry regiment was composed of sergeants who recognized the Guanning Army. Under their pressure, a small number of auxiliary soldiers who did not want to cut their braids were forced to There was a beating, but no one was killed.

The entire division and even the entire Shouyi City only had a pigtail hanging from the back of the head of the [-] Mongolian cavalrymen. This situation reminded Zhao Qiang of the "braid army" that performed the farce of the restoration in later generations.

Strictly speaking, Ba Gen is not his subordinates, they are just collaborators, they are guest troops, so Zhao Qiang does not want to use force against Ba Gen, not to mention with the current strength, even if this Mongolian cavalry can be completely wiped out, the losses suffered by his side are unimaginable of.So he chose to have a frank and honest talk with Ba Gen. After talking with Ba Gen for more than an hour, Zhao Qiang and Ba Gen went to the Second Cavalry Brigade together, and then announced that the Second Cavalry Battalion did not need to cut their braids.

This is a special case, the special case of the entire Guan Ning Army, no matter who it is from now on, don't cut it off, Zhao Qiang said to himself afterwards.As for what he and Ba Gen talked about for more than an hour, no one knows.Ba Gen never told anyone, and Zhao Qiang never mentioned it again.

From now on, no matter if they are captives, those who came to vote voluntarily, or those who were brought back from captivity, whether they are soldiers or civilians, the braids at the back of their heads will all be cut off.

I originally wanted to restore the Hanguan Hanfu and unify the soldiers' uniforms, but due to the availability of enough fabrics, this idea was temporarily shelved.

When the time came to June NO.13, the General Mansion of the Guanning Army held a meeting of soldiers and civilians.On June 14th, the captain attended the divisional combat meeting as an officer. After the meeting, all the cavalry and infantry regiments except the remaining troops were dispatched to implement the "Dingyuan Operation Plan".
