evil slave

Guo Muer, who was eager to save his life, told Zhao Qiang honestly what he knew about the situation under the threat of Raksha cannibalism. 【】According to what he said, there are six batches of fleets passing through the Songhua River to Heilongjiang. Since he came to Sandaotun, five batches of grain transportation fleets have stopped at Sandaotun. The latest fleet was nine days ago. In the past, this last fleet should have arrived today, but for some reason it has not arrived until now.

Guo Murr did not know how much food each fleet transported, because these fleets only stopped at the dock for a short rest, and the soldiers and boatmen were not allowed to disembark. It is impossible for people to know how much food the ship has transported.However, there are twenty or thirty ships of various sizes in each fleet, and the ships are covered with sackcloth. From the depth of the water of the ships, we can know that the food transported by the ships is by no means a small amount.

Zhao Qiang and the others followed the Songhua River all the way to Sandaotun, and the river had already frozen in some areas along the way, so Zhao Qiang guessed that it might be because of the freezing that delayed the speed of the last grain transport fleet of the Qing army, so they failed to arrive on time. Sandaotun.Thinking that this fleet might arrive in Tunzi tomorrow, Zhao Qiang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face, and even Zheng Guohui and others beside him also laughed spontaneously. Everyone thought that this trip was not in vain. .

Knowing that there is still the last fleet to pass, the worry in his heart is gone. Now he needs to consider how to solve the problem of escorting the Qing army. Zhao Qiang asked Guo Mur: "What kind of soldiers are escorting the fleet?"

Guo Mur is still very honest, he is ready to exchange his own life with his cooperation.

"Back to my grandfather, because these grains were transported from different places such as Jilin, Shengjing, Ningguta, etc., the officers and soldiers escorting them were also different. They were from all banners, and the number of them was not fixed. But the last grain transporter The fleet came from Jilin, so the escorts are naturally those of General Jilin."

"General Jilin?"

Zhao Qiang put a question mark between his eyebrows, General Ningguta Bahai and Heilongjiang General Sabusu knew about it, but he didn't know who the other two generals outside the pass were General Shengjing and General Jilin.After the spring of next year, the Guan Ning army will go south to fight, so it is necessary to have some understanding of these opponents who will meet in the future. It would be great if Guo Muer could provide some information.Immediately asked: "Who is General Jilin?"

Who is General Jilin? Of course Guo Muer knows. Although he is a small leader, he has business in various places outside the customs. Therefore, he must be familiar with the local dignitaries and important people. Emotional contact is also essential. This General Jilin It is a very important person who he wants to honor in his annual gift list.Since he was very familiar with it, the answer was much more fluent. In case Zhao Qiang, a slave of Han people, didn't understand it very well, he even made some introductions.

"General Jilin was originally General Ningguta. In the 15th year of Kangxi, the imperial court ordered that the capital who was originally stationed in Ningguta be moved to Jilin, and the station was also promoted from the Dutong Yamen to the General's Yamen. The current Jilin General is called Xinzhu. The yellow flag is said to be after the five founding ministers of the country, but I don’t know if it’s not really young. This person is in his early forties, and he is the youngest among the generals outside the pass. Since Jilin borders North Korea, his men and horses can also be regarded as The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong."

Zhao Qiang knew about the so-called five founding ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. These five people were E Yidu, Fei Yingdong, He Heli, Fei Yanggu, and Hu Erhan. However, Zhao Qiang did not know which of these five people Jilin General Xinzhu was descended from. up.But this is not important, the important thing is how many soldiers and horses there are in the new pillars. Jilin borders North Korea. In the plan for the war against the Qing Dynasty, Hu Wang's avant-garde division will send troops from Jilin, so for the front of the avant-garde division General Jilin, Zhao Qiang needs more information, especially how many soldiers and horses he has under his command, so that he can report the situation to Hu Wang in time, and then make targeted deployments.

"How many soldiers and horses does he have under his command?"

Hearing Zhao Qiang's question, Guo Mur'er showed embarrassment, and said with some hesitation: "Grandpa, this is embarrassing for the little one. The little one is just a leader, and he belongs to Ninggu Pagoda. He just does things without asking questions on weekdays." For business, it is more appropriate to say that the small ones are businessmen than that the small ones are officials..."

"Why so much nonsense, if you know it, you know it, if you don't know it, you don't know it, pick up the important ones!"

Zhao Qiang wanted to know how many soldiers Xinzhu had under his command, but no matter what kind of material Guo Muer was, he couldn't help shouting angrily when he saw that Guo Murer was talking nonsense and wanted to get rid of it.

"Yes Yes."

After being drunk by Zhao Qiang, Guo Muer shuddered, not daring to play tricks anymore, thought about it carefully, and said cautiously: "As far as I know, there are Boduna Deputy Dutong and Sansurname Deputy Dutong under the Jilin General's Yamen. Dutong, Jilin Vice Dutong, Al Chuka Vice Dutong, Lalin Vice Dutong, and Hunchun Vice Dutong have a total of six deputy Dutong yamen. There are two co-leaders, and usually one co-leader leads two co-leaders, so it is estimated that General Jilin has almost 24 co-leaders under his command, and there are probably thirty soldiers and horses under the direct control of his general's mansion. A coordinator to lead the army." At this point, Guo Murer flattered Zhao Qiang with a flattering smile: "But grandpa may not know that the Eight Banners of our Qing Dynasty outside the customs are divided into the Elite Eight Banners and the Garrison Eight Banners, like the small ones. The soldiers are the garrison of the Eight Banners. Don’t be afraid of grandpa’s jokes. Most of the soldiers garrisoning the Eight Banners are not composed of my Manchus, but those who are requisitioned from all ethnic groups. Let them guard the soil for our Manchus in normal times, and transfer them when there is an emergency. As cannon fodder, there is no training at all, and the armor and equipment are all the worst, so the eight banners garrison is really not good enough, it's just a decoration. But the elite eight banners are different, the soldiers are all my authentic Manchuria Brother, the kung fu under horses and horses is one of the best, and the old foundation is still there. It is amazing. When I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, I relied on the elite Eight Banners. At that time, the Han people in the pass saw our elite Eight Banners. They either fled or cried Father calls mother..."

Before Guo Muer finished speaking, he heard a few robbers who looked like Han Chinese pointing at him and began to curse:

"You're the one who ran away from the motherfucker! It's not that we Han can't beat you Tartars, we can't beat those traitors! If it weren't for those Second Tartars, how could our Han people's Huahua Jiangshan fall into the hands of you barbarians!"

"Fart your mother! What kind of bullshit? Elite Eight Banners, if you have the ability, let them beat us!"

"What kind of gold do you put on your face, you bastard, and your tongue will be cut off if you are so damn beautiful!"

"The little ones don't dare, the good guys calm down!..."

Hearing this all Chinese, Guo Muer was also stunned, he was so frightened that he couldn't stop begging for mercy, he didn't dare to say any more, for fear that he might say something wrong again, which would anger the Han robbers.

Zhao Qiang raised his hand to stop the yelling Han officers, told them to shut up, and said to Guo Mu'er very kindly: "They are all rough people, Master Zuo Ling, don't be as knowledgeable as them."

How dare Guo Muer take this seriously, he only smiled when he heard the words: "Don't dare, dare not..."

Zhao Qiang was eager to know the situation in Jilin, and he didn't care whether Guo Murer dared or not, so he asked, "How many elite Eight Banners are under Xinzhu's command?"

"Well..." Guo Muer made some calculations and stretched out two fingers: "There are at least six assistants leading two thousand soldiers."

"Two thousand elite Eight Banners soldiers?"

After Zhao Qiang heard the number, he stood there without saying a word. When Guo Muer saw this, he said that the other party didn't believe him, and hurriedly said, "I'm telling you the truth. There are indeed two thousand elite Eight Banners soldiers under Xinzhu. If Grandpa doesn't believe it, , so that people can find out if they go to inquire about it.”

Hearing this, Zhao Qiang smiled at Guo Muer: "Forgive me, you dare not lie to me. By the way, let me ask you, how many soldiers are there in the first few escort fleets?"

When the first five fleets passed by, Guo Mur and Ge Geli were responsible for supplying and receiving the Eight Banners soldiers who were escorted, so this question can be answered without much thought.

"The most people are from Shengjing, there are more than 400 people, the few are from Ningguta, there are only more than 100 people, and the rest are only about two or three hundred people."

"But they are all cavalry." Guo Mu'er added.

After Zhao Qiang heard this, he nodded slightly, and said to Zheng Guohui beside him, "According to this, there will not be many Qing troops escorting this last fleet."

Zheng Guohui nodded and said: "I'm afraid there are only two or three hundred people. With such a small number of people, the last general's troops can deal with them."

"If victory or defeat is determined solely by the number of people in a war, then there is nothing left to fight in this battle. No matter how many enemies there are, we must despise each other psychologically, but in specific battles, we must pay attention to each other. Do you know? Only in this way can we not make mistakes, you have to know that our family is weak and cannot withstand big troubles."

Zhao Qiang was pointing Zheng Guohui in front, but Guo Muer on the other side was terrified. He dared to think that these Han servants colluded with the Raksha people for the purpose of harvesting food.However, after thinking about it a few times, he still decided to remind these Han slaves, otherwise if they suffered a loss when they robbed the grain, they would take all their anger on themselves, and their heads would still be taken by them. Pick it up.

"There's one more thing I forgot to say."

He was discussing with Zheng Guohui how to deal with the Eight Banners cavalry escort, when he heard Guo Mur'er yell, Zhao Qiang turned his head and glanced at him: "Say."

Guo Mu'er bowed his waist: "I forgot to tell my grandfather and all the heroes that there were also soldiers on the grain transport ship, but they were all stationed in the Eight Banners, and some were armored men and coated servants, and there were more than a hundred people. People, these people plus boatmen and sailors, there are always hundreds of people on a boat. So if grandpas have the idea of ​​using this grain fleet, they must be counted as the people on this boat." After speaking, he saw the other party A pair of eyes glanced at him, the eyes were very strange, Guo Mu's scalp felt a little numb, and he laughed dryly: "The little one is also thinking about his own head, hehe...hehe..."

"Since you know that the head of the project depends on whether we can succeed, you might as well give us some pointers so that we can rob the grain and go away smoothly, and then we can fulfill our promise and let you go back."

Zhao Qiang didn't really expect Guo Mur to come up with any good ideas, but just teased him, because he found that Guo Mur, like Anmar, was a very interesting Manchu, and both had the potential to become Guan Ning. He was an internal response to the army and a traitor to the Manchus, so I wanted to test him whether he was really willing to be an "unfilial man" of the Manchus because he was afraid of death.

"Grandpa is really embarrassing the little one." Guo Mu'er sneered: "The little one is useful for leading soldiers in battle, but he is also very afraid of death. How can there be any good ideas for the grandpas?"

After two "but", Guo Muer boldly took a step forward, and said mysteriously: "I really have a good idea to help grandpas achieve success, but I don't know if grandpas are willing?"

"Oh?" Zhao Qiang was aroused by Guo Mu'er's words, and he also took a step forward, clapping his shoulder encouragingly: "Let's talk about it, if it is feasible, I will accept your idea."

With Zhao Qiang's encouragement, Guo Mu'er seemed to have another promise not to kill, so he raised his waist slightly and said, "The villain's idea is that grandpas might as well wear the uniforms of the soldiers, pretending to be small subordinates, and take over the village. Clean it up without revealing any flaws, so that when the fleet and the transporting team arrive tomorrow, there will be no suspicion. After the fleet docks, the grandfathers will surprise the escort officers and soldiers, and then board the ship to unload food. How can the garrison and armored people be the opponents of the grandfathers, then the food will fall into the hands of the grandfathers smoothly!"
