evil slave

Asked to take Bilar and others aside, Zhao Qiang sent someone to call Guo Fei and Qian Lin, and when they arrived, Zhao Qiang said what he meant. 【】

"We are short of manpower right now, and these Oroqen people can be used. I mean, take someone to meet with their Uerleng. If the other party agrees to help us, then everything is easy to talk about. If they don't agree, the village will be slaughtered." Already, put the old and weak women and children down first. How about you?"

"I will do whatever Boss Qian says. Although the brothers are weaker, it is still no problem to slaughter a small village."

Wu Si slapped his chest confidently. He never put any Oroqen people in his eyes. In his mind, he didn't need the Oroqen people to help them fight the Luocha people. He could just slaughter this village. The food is just enough to fill everyone's stomachs, so there is no need to waste your tongue and talk to Ur.

"If the other party doesn't agree and slaughters the village, it will inevitably be a bit..."

When Guo Fei heard that he would slaughter the village if he could not reach an agreement, he couldn't bear it, so he didn't say the following words, but Zhao Qiang knew what he wanted to say.Now said:

"Since the other party is a small tribe with more than 400 people, there must be a lot of food in the tribe. Right now we are short of food. You don't know how everyone came here these days. Now there is such an opportunity to feed everyone I don’t care about other things so much.” After a pause, he continued: “Of course, I’m not denying those Oroqen people a chance, if they know the current affairs, provide us with some food, and send someone to help us hunt Luo Sharen, then there is no need for us to commit murder, on the contrary, after taking the fortress of the Raksha people, I will thank them again..."

Hearing what Zhao Qiang said, Guo Fei knew that he had made up his mind, and it was useless to disagree, so he sighed: "Well, since Mr. Qian said so, then I have no objection."

Qian Lin is now only following Zhao Qiang's lead, so naturally he will not object to Zhao Qiang's proposal.

The matter was settled like this, Zhao Qiang asked Qian Lin to stay here with the people from the supply battalion to take care of the old and weak, women and children, while he took Wu Si, Guo Fei and Juying into the mountain.

When Zhao Qiang and the others were discussing matters, Wei Ji had been listening by the side. Zhao Qiang didn't ask him what he meant, so naturally he didn't dare to speak casually.Seeing that Zhao Qiang didn't want to go with him after he settled the matter, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.Fortunately, when Zhao Qiang was about to leave, he thought of Wei Ji.

"Wei Ji, you are not bad, stay with me from now on and help me translate with those Oroqen people."

"Yes, Mr. Qian!"

Wei Ji was excited for a while, he had the opportunity to stay with Zhao Qiang, and he would have a chance to get a job if he had a foothold.Overjoyed, he hurriedly followed Zhao Qiang towards Pilar and the others.

When Bilar and the others heard that Zhao Qiang wanted to follow them to the village, they were a little reluctant, but faced with the dark muzzle, they had no choice but to agree.

Wu Si led two teams of gunners around another group of Oroqen people who entered the mountain, and only fired a gun into the sky, and these Oroqen people were so frightened that they threw away their bows and arrows and walked out obediently.Zhao Qiang ordered Qian Lin's men to tie up all these Oroqen people, distribute their bows, arrows, and short knives to the supply camp, and then Bilar and another Oroqen man led the way to the back of the mountain.

Bilar and the others are very familiar with the situation of this mountain. From the outside of the mountain, Zhao Qiang seemed to be passing along the same road inside, but after following Bilar into it, he found that there was a hidden hole in the inside. After the mountain pass to go.

The back of the mountain is not far away, nor is it close. After walking for about an hour, they saw dozens of houses at the foot of the hill ahead. The houses were surrounded by a simple fence like Songshan Fort. From time to time came the barking of dogs and the noise of children, and from time to time some men or women walked from one room to another.

After getting closer, Zhao Qiang discovered that the houses of these Oroqen people are made of pine or birch wood, covered with birch bark, and covered with animal skins outside. The bottom diameter is about seven or eight meters, and the height is five or six meters.There is also a fire pit in the middle of some houses, which is supposed to be used for making fire.

The people in the village saw Bilar coming with a group of people from a distance, and they were not afraid. When the other party approached, the older Oroqen became vigilant.A young man who was the first to arrive at Bilar yelled from a distance:

"Bilal, who did you bring to the village?"

Under Wu Si's signal, Pilar cheered up and replied: "Uncle Luoer, these people are going to fight the Raksha people in the north, and they came here to talk to Wuer."

"Who beat the Raksha people in the north?"

Hearing Bilar's answer, Luoer frowned. Seeing that the people behind Bilar were dressed in rags, but they all carried a gun on their backs, they didn't look like the imperial court's army, so they couldn't help being very puzzled. .Ask Pilar: "What about the others, why didn't they come back?"

"other people…"

Before Bilar finished speaking, Wu Si rushed to Luoer from behind him with a dozen gunners, and aimed the muzzle at him in an instant.

Luoer was taken aback by this sudden turn of events. He had seen a bird gun before, and he knew that if a person was beaten at such a short distance, he would definitely be rotten.With a trembling voice, he said, "You... who are you?... What are you going to do?"

Wu Si couldn't understand what Luo Er said, but this did not prevent him from patting Luo Er very kindly: "Deng, don't be afraid, we just want to talk to Wu Er Leng, please send a message to him When the old man comes out, Mr. Qian has something to discuss with him."

Wu Si's words were translated verbatim by Wei Ji who followed to Luo Er and those Oroqen people.

Luoer and his companion glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and a companion quickly ran in. Soon, an old man in his 60s and [-]s came towards this side surrounded by a group of Oroqen men.The women and children in the village got some instructions and all returned to the house.

"I don't know what the heroes want from me?"

To Zhao Qiang's surprise, this old man Wu Erlang could speak Chinese, and he seemed to have seen the world, so he was not afraid of Zhao Qiang and the others.

Zhao Qiang took a rough look at the men behind Wuer Leng, there were only seven or eighty people, and they only held bows, arrows and short knives.

After signaling Wu Si to spread out the gunner formation, Zhao Qiang clasped his fists at the old man with a smile on his face: "Are you Wuer Leng?"

"Yes, I am Mukun Uer Leng of the tribe."

Wu Er stretched out his hand to drive away the two clansmen, and without any fear of pointing at his guns, he went straight to Zhao Qiang, clasped his fists with full Han etiquette, and said, "Your Excellency, if you have any request, just say it directly, and I will do it if you can." Let the tribe do it for you."

"Okay, it's rare for Ur to be so happy, so let's be clear about it!"

Wu Er was straightforward, and Zhao Qiang was not sloppy. Since the patriarch of the Oroqen people had seen the world, he couldn't coax him. Lang Sheng said: "We want to fight the Luocha people in the north, but the army is short of food. I want to ask the nobles to support some food and grass, and I also hope that you can have some brave warriors to fight with us to fight the Raksha people. After defeating the Raksha people, I will give you a big thank you on the basis of your head."

"Warring is not what we Oroqen people are good at, and my people don't want to fight with others. Forgive me for not agreeing to this matter. I can give you some food, but the heroes have arrived. Our tribe has very few people, not many young and strong, so There is not much food. If you ask for too much, we will not be able to bring it out."

Wuer spoke very sincerely, and his face did not look deceitful at all, as if the facts were just as he said, without any falsehood.

"Ha ha."

Hearing Wuer Leng's words, Zhao Qiang smiled, and then his face turned cold: "Wur Leng, now I am not asking you, nor negotiating with you, I hope you agree, do you understand? If you don't agree..." Zhao Qiang pointed to the gunners behind him: "It's not that I'm younger than you, I can kill all the men in your village with just a hundred gunners."

"You dare! Try it if you have the guts. Your blunderbusses are more powerful than our bows and arrows!"

Zhao Qiang's words made a young man behind Wu'er Leng excited, and he wanted to stretch out his bow when he roared, but Wu Er Leng stopped him: "Malji, don't be impulsive!"

Although Zhao Qiang couldn't understand what Wuer Leng said to the young man, he guessed it was to tell him not to mess around. After the young man calmed down, Zhao Qiang snorted coldly and said to Wu Er Leng: "Don't think that these fences can resist me. Don’t think that your bows and arrows can resist my firecrackers. Wuer Leng, you are a sensible person, think about it carefully, my patience is limited, I will give you half a stick of incense time to think about it, if you don’t get my satisfaction by then I'm sorry, but even if I can wait, my brothers can't wait."

As soon as the words fell, the musketeers behind the sound shouted "Kill!", Wu Si even pulled out his waist and hands as if he was a man, and wiped them with his sleeves casually, without leaving Luo in front of him at all. You and others put it in their eyes.

The clansmen behind Wuer Leng were shocked by the shouts of the gunners, and someone asked in a low voice: "Patriarch, are these people bandits or government soldiers?"

Malji's eyes were full of anger: "Have you ever seen such an officer?"

Another man was also very angry: "Patriarch, you can't promise them, our people can't go to die with them, the Raksha people are very powerful, many tribes have been slaughtered by them, if they know that our people participated in attacking them The stronghold will definitely come to retaliate against us!"

"Is it up to us not to agree to the current situation? There are old people and children in the tribe. If there is a fight, it will kill people."

"Yeah, let's not think about ourselves, but also think about the elderly and children inside. These bandits should be more than that. Even if we defeat them, we won't be able to defend them when they come in large numbers."

"Don't say anything."

Wuer stared blankly at Zhao Qiang for half a stick of incense, thinking that since these Han people have come, they must not be easily dismissed.There are only so few men in the tribe, and once they fight, they will definitely suffer, but if they just agree to the other party, the tribe will suffer too much.

The time was almost up, Wuer took a breath, and raised his voice and asked, "I wonder how much food and how many people do you want?"

"There is no need to allocate food to us. I will place some people in your village. My people will eat whatever your people eat, as long as they don't starve my people."

Zhao Qiang ignored Uer's livid face, and continued: "People, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, all men must follow us north! No one is allowed to stay in the village!"

"what?!"

Wu Er thought that the other party just wanted them to send some people, like a strong man, but he didn't know that the other party wanted all of them, no matter how calm he was, he couldn't help being angry.

"This is impossible!"

"There is nothing impossible!"

Zhao Qiang waved his left hand: "Let go!"

The ten gunners who had already been instructed quickly aimed their muzzles at the wooden fences, "Bang, bang, bang!" There was a loud noise, smoke filled the air, and the choking smell of gunpowder.

Wu Erleng and his clansmen thought that the other party had opened fire. After the black smoke cleared, they found that no one fell down, but several wooden boards of the fence were blown away several feet away, and the surface was densely covered with lead.

"Now do you agree?"
