evil slave

The seven-day rest was over soon, and because there were so many captured, Zhao Qiang was extra generous in rewarding the meritorious sergeants of the troops who participated in the war. 【】uu Those soldiers who did not make any military exploits also received a few catties of meat each, and also allocated a batch of cloth obtained from the Russians to distribute to them.Most of the soldiers came from various tribes, and they usually wore animal clothes. Cloth was very scarce for them, so it was very precious. In the past, in the tribe's village, no one could wear a padded jacket made of commoner clothes, let alone how stylish it was.Now that the cloth can be distributed, the sergeants are ecstatic. Some anxious people are anxious to entrust the cloth to their wives on the spot, so that they can go to their wives after the war is over. sweet smile.

Zhao Qiang also turned a blind eye to the money that was robbed by the soldiers, and did not ask them to hand it over.However, Zhao Qiang is strong, and the number of officers is not as large as his. At some point, the Guan Ning Army formed an unknown agreement. If the soldiers seized the property they robbed, if they did not hand it over, they would give half of it to the officers, otherwise they would be killed. to be punished.However, even if there is only half left, the soldiers are very content.In fact, Zhao Qiang also heard about this situation, because this kind of rule was very common in the Wu army back then, and it can be said that it was an unacceptable military discipline. Out of care for the old subordinates and brothers, Zhao Qiang was not going to restrict this behavior.

Both Qi Zhuang and Hu Wang mentioned the issue of military discipline to Zhao Qiang. On the day when Yask was captured, Zhao Qiang also went to some soldiers to extort and even openly rob the local residents of their property. The law requires soldiers to have a high degree of self-awareness. Therefore, except for the prohibition of rape and looting, the debate about soldiers robbing property is temporarily put on hold.

On the seventh day of July, the second phase of the Dingyuan operation began. The targets of the operation were Duolun Chan City and Erguna City, which were previously formulated.

The territory now controlled by the Guan Ning Army is roughly equivalent to the land near the Outer Xing'an Mountains in Russia in later generations. Because there is no accurate map in hand, Zhao Qiang can't tell where this area is, and can only know the approximate location by feeling.According to his vague impression of the Russian map, Zhao Qiang thinks it should be the Russian territory between Hailan and Yakutsk.But there is one thing he is sure of, that is, the territory he occupies now is definitely the area that Daming Nuer Gandusi once ruled, and it is in the north of Rooster Head.

Duolun Zen City is located at the estuary of the lower reaches of the Jingqili River. According to the map, it is only a hundred miles away from Vladivostok of later generations. One day's voyage, you can reach the Thousand Islands, including the four northern islands disputed by Japan and Russia.There is no navy, not even an inland navy, so Zhao Qiang will not be so stupid as to set his sights on the vast sea now, hoping to catch up with the footsteps of the age of navigation.From Duolunchan to the north, the climate is getting colder and colder. The Tunguska Plateau is located there. If the road conditions permit, you can go all the way north until you reach the Bering Strait. If you are lucky, you can come to the United States once the sea is frozen and sealed. travel.

If everything goes well and there are no difficulties, Zhao Qiang has no doubts that the Guan Ning Army can have an extra Eskimo team.

Of course, these are just some personal fantasies of Zhao Qiang. In fact, Duolun Chan City and its surroundings have about hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, and most of the population is concentrated in the south of Duolun Chan, that is, near North Korea and Vladivostok.The land is rich in resources and has an outlet to the sea. Although he has no intention of building a navy for the time being, Zhao Qiang decided to focus on building it out of foreign trade, smuggling, and population migration plans, making it a part of the Guanning Army's assassination of the Qing Dynasty. a sharp knife.Out of the great strategic purpose of capturing Duolun Chan, Zhao Qiang handed over the task of capturing Duolun Chan City to Hu Wang's First Infantry Wing.

At the battle meeting, Zhao Qiang emphasized to Hu Wang twice that only by occupying Duolunchan and driving out the Russians who colonized the coast, the territory controlled by the Guanning Army will no longer be a purely inland area, and the range of movement will be wider. It is no longer limited to commanding troops from Heilongjiang or Jilin, but can break into the customs from the south of Duolunchan. If possible, it can even force North Korea and the Guanning army to form a "brotherly country" again.

When emphasizing it, Zhao Qiang suddenly realized that he seemed to be repeating the history of the Tunguska wild boars. It seemed that the old wild boars made their fortunes from the south of Duolun Chan, and then slowly annexed the land of the Ming Dynasty.History tells Zhao Qiang that Nurhachi's war against the Ming Dynasty was not the so-called "seven great hatreds", but that the once-in-a-thousand-year Little Ice Age happened to be at the end of the Ming Dynasty.Now that the Little Ice Age is over, winters are still cold, but at least not unbearable.

"After occupying Duolunchan, the [-]st Infantry Regiment immediately divided up to attack the small stronghold of the Raksha people, and gradually moved southward. However, you must avoid being discovered by the North Koreans or the Tatars."

Speaking of this, Zhao Qiang was a little thirsty, took a few sips of the tea bowl and "gudu gudu", then nodded to Hu Wangzhong: "When necessary, you can create a human settlement and take all the tribal residents living there Move to the north, and those who don’t want to move will be executed, we must never let Manchu and North Korea know that we have got under their noses!”

"Yes, division commander, the last general will definitely complete the task!" Hu Wang "Huo" stood up and shouted unquestionably: "The First Infantry Regiment will be the vanguard of the Guanning Army, and will be a The nail that can never be pulled out is firmly nailed under the eyes of the Tartars! As long as the commander of the division gives an order, the last general and his troops will be the first to attack outside the pass!"

Hu Wang's self-confidence made all the officers present jealous. Now the First Infantry Regiment is fully equipped with firearms, artillery, and scouts. The soldiers in it have fought several battles, and their combat effectiveness can be said to be that of the entire army the most.Hu Wang led the First Infantry Regiment to go to Duolunchan alone, and the commander of the division seemed to want to build it into the second blade of the Guanning Army, and in addition to guarding against the Manchus, he also meant to look at North Korea.As a soldier, making meritorious deeds is the best choice for a man. Thinking that Hu Wang can invade a country with his army in the future, Qi Zhuang and others can't help but look very envious, because it is not a good job to fight Ergun City.

Erguna City is located on the Erguna River, which originates in the northwest direction of Daxingan Mountains and flows through the Hulun Buir Grassland. The downstream area is where the Manchu and Qing spheres of influence lie, with a total length of more than 900 miles.From Erguna City to the south is the Heilongjiang River Basin, to the northwest is Nerchinsk, and to the north is the virgin forest of Siberia.In addition to the Mongols and Ewenki people living along the river basin, there are also some Bai, Xibe and Hui people.

The reason why occupying Erguna City is not a good job is because occupying Erguna City can only control the surrounding area, and cannot go down the river, which is equivalent to a decisive battle with the Qing Dynasty in advance.

The purpose of Zhao Qiang's occupation of the Ergun River is only to extend the territory controlled by the Guanning Army to the sea in the east and to the north of Heilongjiang in the west, so as to cut off the connection between the Russian army in the Heilongjiang River Basin and other places, and make it a barrier in front of the Guanning Army. Stone, instead of taking the initiative to attack the Qing army and the Mongolian tribes now, in that case, it will definitely not be a good thing for the newly established Guan Ning army.
