evil slave

Of course, we can’t let Liu De go to Nerchinsk and Golo alone for a meeting. We still need to have the formation that we need. The mission should look like a mission, and the specifications must be respected by the Russians. Germany's "Mission Mission" was equipped with a team of cavalry, and also transferred a team of firecrackers from the Guards Division. There were ten related personnel from the army and the people, and three Russian translators. A total of 420 people formed this team Branch delegation. 【】At the same time, an order was sent to the guard division stationed in Tugursk to send a brigade to escort Liu De and his party to Nerchinsk together with the Dujigensk garrison brigade.After the mission went to Nerchinsk, the two brigades stationed at the Anke River, [-] miles away from Nerchinsk, closely watched the movement of the Russian army, and rescued the mission if something happened.Just in case, Zhao Qiang asked Zuo Mingnan to dispatch three brigades to Dujigensk in case of accidents.

Because of the snowfall in the north of Yask and inconvenient roads, the Hezhe "sled" team that had been brewing in Zhao Qiang's mind took shape. Two hundred Hezhe people, 860 dogs, and [-] sleds were responsible for the transportation of the mission, except for camels. All the food and other materials carried are also transported by sleds, which can reduce manpower and speed up the march.

The Hezhe people have used sleds to travel in winter for thousands of years. The sleds they use are similar to those of Zhao Qiang's later generations. They are all pulled by dogs, and a few are pulled by horses.A larger sled requires five or six dogs, can carry three or four people, and a smaller one can also accommodate two people.Naturally, the speed of a dog-pulled sled cannot keep up with horses, but it is faster than people walking on two legs. Generally, it is not a problem to travel forty miles a day. If the snow is thick enough, it can even reach five miles. Ten to sixty miles of marching speed.Calculate the distance, start now, and you will arrive at Nerchinsk in early December.

The first sled team of this Guanning Army is a team organization, which belongs to the Army Logistics Division. The team's general flag is Mu Ling from Hezhe, a small flag from the former Second Infantry Regiment, and he and his relatives are followers of the leader. The Guan Ning army, who was joined by director Lin Yi'an on his own initiative, has absolutely passed the test of loyalty.However, the Hezhe people are not good at fighting by nature. They are natural good fishers, but not good soldiers. Therefore, there are not many Hezhe officers and soldiers in the Guanning Army. Most of them serve in civilian Cao and some non-combat positions.But they, like the Oroqen people, have no untouchables, all are free people, enjoying the war dividends of the Guanning Army.

Liu De and his party set off on the ninth day of October. Before leaving, Zhao Qiang led Qi Zhuang, He Manchuan, Wei Ji and other military and political officials in Yask to see them off, and they went straight for three miles before returning.Qi, He and other military generals were somewhat unacceptable to Liu De going to negotiate with the Raksha people. They thought that the current Raksha people had been weakened so badly that they were not worthy of attention at all. After the beginning of spring, they would drive them all out of the East. Question, but I don't know why the commander-in-chief asked Liu De to negotiate with them, and why there is no need to negotiate with the Raksha people.As the old saying goes, take advantage of his illness to kill him, and now that Rakshasa's manpower is declining, it is a good time to wipe them out in one fell swoop. Rakshasa officers questioned.

Regarding the doubts of his subordinates, Zhao Qiang explained that the main enemy of the Guanning Army next year is the Qing army. In the face of a common enemy, the Raksha people are our allies. The enemy, then the Guan Ning army could not completely wipe out the Raksha people, and it would be better to keep them to contain the Qing army.Besides, once the war against the Qing begins, there will be more places to use troops, and then there will be no energy to spare to deal with the remaining Rakshas, ​​so in order to avoid being attacked on both sides, it is necessary to sit down and talk with the Rakshas.And if the negotiation is really successful, Guan Ningjun can also get some support from the Luocha staff, which is undoubtedly a big help to the current impoverished Guan Ningjun.

After listening to Zhao Qiang's explanation, Qi He and the others still didn't quite understand, but they did what the commander said, and they went back to the army for training. Negotiations are a human thing, so don't do them. What's the matter with these big bosses, the most important thing is to train your soldiers well and wait for the first prize after the spring.Wei Ji went to busy himself with the affairs of the people's office. Now there are too many things in each division. Most of those directors are the masters who can't make up their minds.

After Liu De left, Zhao Qiang waited for another two days, but he couldn't wait for the two Daur intelligence agents sent to the Qing occupied area to come back, and there was no intelligence from Anmar, so he couldn't sit still now. .As time passed day by day, the temperature became colder day by day, and his order to increase the ration standard of the untouchables also caused the food reserves to be consumed at an alarming rate.After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Qiang decided to take the risk, so he personally led people south, and no matter what, he had to bring back some food.If you are lucky and find a transfer point for the Qing army’s rations, then seize their rations. If you are unlucky and cannot find a transfer point, then you can learn from the Khitans who beat up the grassy valley full of people. Anyway, there is a Cossack brigade, and the Qing army also doubts it. Not to the head of Guanning army.What's more, every winter, it is common for the guards of the Russian strongholds to go south to plunder, but this time the scale is larger.After making up his mind, Zhao Qiang immediately began to deploy the southward affairs.

Grivsky's Cossack brigade is the main force going south, and it is also the main force in camouflage. Their big noses and green eyes can be used to cover them all, so they must take all of them. If you are lucky enough to meet the Eight Banners of the Qing Army, you will not be so quick to do it.According to Sun Youtian's information, the men responsible for the escort mission are the subordinates of General Jilin and General Shengjing of the Qing Army. To meet them, although the all-red-haired ghosts in the Cossack brigade can scare the Qing army, it is not easy to snatch the food from them.It is different if there is a cavalry in hand. Even if the Qing army finds that something is wrong, they will only mistake the cavalry of the Guan Ning army for the Raksha people's allied army, and will not discover the true colors of the Guan Ning army for the time being.

In the end, Zhao Qiang decided that the troops to participate in the southward robbery were the Cossack brigade of the Guards Division and a brigade of the Cavalry Division, with a total strength of 400 troops.Things like grabbing food and fighting grass and valleys are not about the number of soldiers, but about the speed. Therefore, it is enough to bring two brigades. If there are too many people, it will be a bad thing.The cavalry brigade is the first brigade of the first regiment of the Guards Division. There are hundreds of households in the brigade. , Wu Jun referred to these descendants as the rear attached army.Zheng Guohui was in his early thirties. He used to be a corps leader. He was tall and tall, but he was not a cavalry soldier.But this person seems to be born to be a cavalryman. He can keep his balance on the horse within half a month of training, and he will not fall off the horse when charging. After fighting a few tough battles, he can be regarded as a cavalryman. , and made a lot of military exploits, plus it is the old foundation of the Wu army, so this time the reorganization was promoted from the general banner to a hundred households, and led the first brigade with the strongest combat effectiveness of the cavalry division, which can be regarded as the leader of the cavalry division and even the entire Guanning army. Model team.

Zheng Guohui became a playmate when he was in Luying. He was only 21 years old at the time. The girls from the same village that his family told him looked ordinary, but they were more virtuous and filial.Guohui served as a soldier in the army and was paid. She served Zheng's parents at home, took care of the housework, and planted a few acres of land by herself. When the villagers mentioned this girl, they would pick their thumbs and praise the Zheng family for marrying a good wife. Hui got a good wife.For this daughter-in-law, Zheng Guohui also liked it from the bottom of his heart, and the two elders were also satisfied, and their life was decent. In the third year of marriage, the daughter-in-law gave birth to him a big fat son, which made Zheng He and his parents very happy. Yes, at that time, all the soldiers in the barracks could go to Zheng Wuchang, who was very happy every day, and greeted everyone, "Do you know? I am a father, and my wife gave birth to a son for me!"

The good times didn’t last long, and in the 15th year of Kangxi in the second year, King Pingxi from the west suddenly raised his troops and went to Hunan. Several banner people were chopped off with a single knife, and they took Zheng Guohui and his gang to vote for King Pingxi, and Zheng became King Pingxi's soldier from then on.After changing from the Qing army to the Wu army, the first two years were pretty good. They reported victories everywhere and took up more and more territory. The good times didn't last long, and I don't know what happened to Prince Pingxi, so he stopped by the Yangtze River without moving.Then, when the sun sets, the good situation is short-lived, and the real defeat is like a mountain.Later, Zheng was captured by the Qing army, and a group of "Wu rebellious soldiers" were tied up outside the pass as slaves.This has been going on until today.After Zheng was assigned as a slave outside the customs, he didn't know the situation in his hometown, and he didn't know where his parents were, let alone whether his daughter-in-law remarried, or how tall his son was.I really feel sorry for the parents of the world. Since Zheng Guohui, a three-foot man, has been thinking about his son who is only a few years old since he hit the outside of the customs, he has always wondered what his son looks like in his dreams. Whether it is warm or not, is the family affected by me?Looking forward to thinking about it every day, Zheng's whole body seemed to be wilting, and the energy of the past could no longer gather around him, thinking that his life was over, and he might never see his wife and son again until he died. I can no longer support my parents.

Such a life would be better than death, and he lived for more than half a year without knowing the day. It was not until Zhao Qiang raised his arms in Songshan Castle that Zheng Guohui changed. Maybe God will open his eyes and allow him to see his son in his lifetime.Once a person glows with hope, he is like a living being. Since then, Zheng Guohui seems to have been reborn, with a fierce spirit, charging into battle without blinking an eye.With just one sword and one sword and scars one after another, he went from a slave to a hundred cavalry households of the Guanning Army, and he was in charge of the Guanning First Cavalry Brigade, with a bright future.But Zheng didn't pay attention to these things, and he never thought about the glory and wealth. He put all the rewards he got in the past military exploits in a package, and the Rakshasa women who were captured by the army didn't even look at them. Anyway, someone else did it. If he doesn't do it, he won't enjoy it if others enjoy it, because he just wants to kill his son back to his hometown as soon as possible. Apart from that, everything else is meaningless to him.Because he doesn't play with women, like Ma Long who married a Raksha girl, he became the laughing stock of all Wu Jun's old brothers. Whenever the old brothers get together, they will never forget to make fun of Zheng Guohui and Ma Long. , Zheng, like Ma Long, chuckled, neither answering nor refuting, and letting them talk.

This time Zhao Qiang personally transferred Zheng Guohui's first brigade to go south with him, which is Zheng's calmness. Zhao Qiang has been paying attention to the generals under his command. If there is any general in the future who can be alone in the future, Zheng Guohui is one of the few he values. , so this time I took him to the south, firstly to let the first brigade fight against the Qing army's Eight Banners and Eight Classics, and secondly to train Zheng Guohui so that he can be entrusted with important tasks in the future.

On November [-]th, Zhao Qiang led his troops to Shouyi City. After telling Wu Si about his future intentions, he was asked to temporarily command the Shouyi City Brigade to organize the residents in the city to form a transportation team. Waiting at the location, ready to grab the looted food.When Wu Si learned that the commander-in-chief was going to rob food in person, he couldn't help but persuade Zhao Qiang not to go, and let him go, but Zhao Qiang politely refused, telling Wu Si that you just need to do what you should do well.

Seeing that Zhao Qiang insisted on going, Wu Si couldn't persuade him anymore, but he mentioned his sworn brothers and Pan Changqing, and told Zhao Qiang that he wanted to send someone to contact them, because they had been separated for the past few months and they didn't know how they were doing. Now that the Guan Ning Army is booming, it is time to employ people. His sworn brothers are all experts in the Zhongyong Camp, and Master Pan is also resourceful. If he can contact them, it will be a big deal for the Guan Ning Army good thing.The Zhongyong and Yiyong Second Battalions are the strongest battalions of the Wu Army. It is natural to have many benefits to have these veterans enrich the Guan Ning Army. But Wu Da and the others are now in Shangyang Fort, which is nearly a thousand miles away from here. They are so far away to send people to contact They, the risk is too great, it is better to let it go, and wait until the spring of next year to deal with the Qing army that attacked Yaksa, and then send people to the south to contact various places to start troubles.So Zhao Qiang asked Wu Si not to contact them for the time being. After Wu Si heard this, he hesitated to speak. Zhao Qiang didn't pay attention to his expression, because he was busy explaining things to others.

The army rations transported by the Qing army from Shengjing, Jilin and other places took the water route, and the route was "Liaohe, Songhua, Heilongjiang". The Liaohe was in the hinterland of the Qing army. It is the starting point, there is unlikely to be too much food there, and Heilongjiang is the destination, where not only the Russians are entrenched, but also the troops transferred from all over the Qing Dynasty, so it is impossible for Zhao Qiang to enter the tiger's mouth and put the Send it to the door by yourself.Therefore, the only possible hands-on location can only be in the Songhua River.But the problem is that the Songhua River is so long, and the ghost knows where the Qing army's transfer station is, so it's impossible to take a group of subordinates standing on the bank and the Qing army's grain transport ship slowly passed by in front of the eyes.However, I don't know if it means not to go. Now Zhao Qiang really can only put his hope on the Songhua River, so he rested in Shouyi City for a whole day, and after arranging the follow-up food transportation team, he led his troops south the next day.

The route Zhao Qiang chose to go south was not from Songshan Fort, but from Mergen, which was looted by the Guanning Army. According to the reconnaissance, since the city of Mergen was burned, the Qing army did not set up a city there again. Officer, so apart from the small tribes that were originally scattered around the city, there was no trace of the Qing army around the city. However, if you walk more than 100 miles south from the city, turn southeast and walk another [-] miles, It is the Songhua River.This means that Zhao Qiang is now leading his troops to Morgan and then sneaking into the Songhua River Basin. At least in time, the Qing army has no way to know in advance that such a group of troops has appeared in their territory and take precautions.
