evil slave

The first to arrive at Yask was the reconnaissance team and Zhao Qiang's personal team, and there were also two teams from the transport brigade. 【】When they appeared in Yask through the forest led by Dumu, a Daurian, the Russians and local residents were still in a state of "sleepwalking". Some Sauron and Daur slaves thought it was the Rakshasa army.They just glanced at the distance, and they no longer cared about who came here and what to do here. They only cared about whether their work could be done and whether the Raksha people's supervisors would no longer care about them. They yelled whether they could get food and go back to their cabins after work.

As the information shows, Yask is an undefended "city", like a village in later generations. Its scale is much larger than Songshan Fort, but its defense capability is not as good as that of a small stone fortress like Shouui City.After those so-called defenders wandered around like ordinary residents, Zhao Qiang knew that what happened next was not a battle, because those Russian defenders could not be called an army at all, they were just a group of bandits at best.If you have to describe it, then the operation to capture Yask can be described as an "exercise": one side attacks, the other side collapses, there is no process, only the result.

The battle was nothing worth writing about. When the cavalry of the scouts rushed past wielding Cossack sabers, there was no resistance, and there was only confusion.The Russian soldiers fled in all directions, while the Daur puppet army raised their weapons symbolically and surrendered spontaneously. More than 100 Sauron puppet troops were even more exaggerated. Instead of surrendering, they chose "battlefield uprising" Before the cavalry of the Japanese army rushed into Yask, they attacked the Raksha people first.Their fighting performance stunned the cavalry rushing in. It is hard to believe that these Saurons would suddenly burst out with such brave morale and fighting will, until those Rakshas were pressed to the ground by the furious Saurons and grabbed them with their hands. , Throwing stones and chopping with knives, the cavalry were a little thankful and a little sympathetic to those Raksha people.

The residents of various ethnic groups living in Yask and the slaves who had been taken back from the captivity also began to beat the dogs in the water after realizing that the Raksha people were gone. One by one, they went to chase those Rakshasa soldiers who had fled.Guan Ningjun was welcomed by "liberators". Some Sauron women spontaneously sang praise songs and brought hot water and food for Guan Ningjun to entertain guests. The behavior obviously satisfied the military officers headed by Zhao Qiang.

Half an hour later, Yask returned to calm. The Daurs who surrendered, the Saurons who rebelled, and the captured Rakshasa were all circled together. The security team, the Daur people were used as auxiliary soldiers of the transport brigade, and the Russian soldiers were tied up one by one with ropes and temporarily detained in the cattle pen. Because Zhao Qiang didn't think of how to deal with them for the time being, he planned to wait for Qi Zhuang and Hu Wang. After sending the captured Luocha soldiers, they will be dealt with uniformly.

Three days later, Qi Zhuang led his left wing troops to Yask; five days later, Hu Wang's right wing arrived safely.So far, the first stage of the Dingyuan operation has come to an end, and the three-way army has successfully joined forces with Yask.

The operation successfully completed the set goal, which lasted 23 days, and occupied three Russian strongholds including Gulihe City, Dingyuan City, and Yask, and more than 120 small tribes and villages, and controlled the Guli River Basin, Xilin Mudan River, and Jingqi Lijiang Tour, the actual controlled land is equivalent to the area of ​​Zhili Province in the Guannei.

A total of 260 Russian soldiers were killed and injured, 310 were captured, and 100 puppet troops of various ethnic groups were killed.The occupied area has a population of about 4000 people of various ethnic groups, and the unstated population under the jurisdiction of the Guanning Army is about 2.

In addition to the vacant Russian gunpowder depot in Dingyuan City, the gunpowder storage capacity in Guli River and Yask City is about 760 catties, [-] muskets, and other weapons.

In addition to gunpowder weapons, 600 taels of gold and 1 taels of silver were seized, and a small silver mine located five miles east of Dingyuan City was obtained, with a monthly output of about 2 taels of silver. Tour an iron mine.The two mines were built by the Russians six years ago, and most of the silver and pig iron produced were shipped to Nerchinsk and then to the hinterland of Russia.This time all fell into the hands of the Guan Ning army. After knowing that he owned a small silver mine and iron mine, Zhao Qiang was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. The next day, he sent someone to Shouyi City to send a letter, asking Duncan to come to Yask immediately. , Zhao Qiang is going to hand over the silver mine and iron mine affairs to Duncan.And they are also planning to arrange for Guo Youcai and others to go to sea from Vladivostok or bypass North Korea to go to Macau to purchase weapons and some production equipment for themselves.

In addition, more than 2000 cattle and sheep, pigs and chickens were obtained, and about [-] hectares of arable land were obtained.The personnel of Mincao and Military Cao have already taken over Guli River and Dingyuan City. Due to the difficulty of the Yask road, the reception of Yask and its surrounding areas by the General Administration has been delayed.

In order to digest and consolidate the achievements, Zhao Qiang asked the whole army to rest for a week before launching the second phase of operations.Anyway, the Russians' strongholds were scattered, and their forces were also scattered. Even if they knew the appearance of the Guanning Army, the only way they could deal with it was to join forces and refuse to defend. In that case, they would have to abandon some small strongholds.If they mobilize troops to attack, Zhao Qiang would be even more eager to ask for it, and it would save a lot of effort.

When Qi Zhuang's left wing set off, there were 700 troops. When they came to join the army, they had expanded to 3000 people together with the captured Qing Zhuang.But Hu Wang's right wing expanded even more. When the army joined forces, there were nearly 1000 troops, and there were more than [-] Han people who came to vote. This made Zhao Qiang very happy. He never thought that there were descendants of the Ming army in the Far East.In order to show his importance to these Han people, Zhao Qiang personally had lunch with their representatives, and rewarded the Han people who helped stabilize the order in Dingyuan City.At the banquet, the representatives of the Han people expressed their longing for the old country in the pass. Zhao Qiang told them that the Guanning army would definitely go south to drive out the Tartars and restore the homeland. Therefore, he asked the Han people scattered in various places to support the Guanning army.

In the eyes of the Han people, Zhao Qiang is the supreme commander of the Guanning Army. Since he promised to lead the Han people back to their homeland, the Han people will naturally not doubt it.Although they have lived in this cold place for two or three hundred years, being able to return to their homeland is undoubtedly the biggest attraction for the Han people. Therefore, after the banquet, the representatives of the Han people spontaneously led the envoys of the Guanning Army to live in various places. At this point, publicize the Guan Ning Army to them, let them all defect to the Guan Ning Army, and fight back to their homeland together in the future.

In view of the rapid expansion of the troops, on the third day of the rest, Zhao Qiang ordered all the troops to return to the original organizational system, and immediately set up the second cavalry regiment and the second infantry regiment.One should have the same organizational system as the First Wing.In order to make the newly established regiment have a certain combat effectiveness, the 300st Cavalry Regiment and the 600st Infantry Regiment each selected [-] people to transfer to the newly established regiment.[-] people were drawn from captives and young adults to join the [-]st Cavalry and Infantry Regiment.

At present, 1 young and strong people of all ethnic groups, including captives, can smoke 1 people. It is estimated that other tribes and Han people who have not been found can also smoke about 40.00 people. In order not to affect the production and life in the occupied area, Zhao Qiang does not plan to All males are recruited. Therefore, except for the residents of various ethnic groups who are used as auxiliary soldiers and untouchables, other people who volunteered to vote and welcome the Guanning Army are all regarded as free citizens. The ratio of their male recruitment is maintained at [-]%. That's it.
