After the young man fell to the ground, he became unconscious. Everyone hurriedly gathered around him. Lin Yuan lifted his eyelids to look at him, then touched the bridge of his nose, and said to everyone, "It's okay, he just passed out. Now, the bridge of the nose is not broken, and there is no need to worry about the broken bone breaking into the brain, so his life will not be in danger."

When other Russian soldiers saw someone fighting, they hurriedly took their guns off their shoulders and held them in their hands, and surrounded them. Giles hurriedly said to the crowd, "Go back."

Then he walked slowly in front of Lin Yuan and said, "Is there something wrong with that young man? If not, wake him up and apologize to me, and I won't pursue today's matter."

The people around the young man commented, "You guys are too much of a bully, obviously you hit someone, and you want us to apologize!"

Lin Yuan waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion, and then said to Gilles: "This young man is ignorant. I apologize for him. I hope you can forgive him."

Gilles looked at Lin Yuan and smiled triumphantly: "Since you apologized, then I won't pursue it. How about it, you hurry up and hand over the money to me, the train is about to leave."

Lin Yuan took out the checkbook, signed a check and handed it to Giles. Giles didn't pick it up with his hands, but looked at Lin Yuan and pointed his chin at the deputy beside him. He treated Lin Yuan arrogantly with anger on his face, but Lin Yuan remained calm, stretched his hand forward, and handed the check to Gilles' deputy.

The deputy took over the check, and Lin Yuan heard the young man behind him moaning, and he had woken up. Lin Yuan hurriedly turned around to see, the young man was beaten so hard that he was dazed. He looked blankly. The people around murmured, "What's wrong with me?"

Seeing that he was fine, Lin Yuan said to everyone: "Okay, let's not entangle with them anymore, let's go back to the train."

Everyone got on the train, still brooding about what happened just now, but they couldn't help it, they were all ordinary people, and they were on the territory of the Russians, so they could only smash their teeth and swallow their stomachs, each with a sad face, Sighing, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "What's wrong with everyone? Didn't you just suffer some grievances? There is nothing to worry about. We Chinese have an old saying that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge! We will avenge this revenge sooner or later!"

There were some smiles on the faces of the crowd. Lin Yuan coughed and raised his voice and said, "I think everyone is hungry too. I have asked someone to prepare delicious food for you. Let's fill up our stomachs first." Hearing this, he forgot the unhappiness just now, and after a while, Wang Genbao came over pushing the dining car, and said to the crowd: "Shanxi folks, can you taste the authenticity of my sliced ​​noodles? "

Everyone looked into the pot, and there were steaming noodles. The noodles were thick in the middle and thin on both sides, and they were crystal clear. They were Shanxi sliced ​​noodles. There were several large pots beside the pot. Wang Genbao pointed to the big pots and said, "These are added In the noodles, there are pork, beef, eggs, and Shanxi vinegar!"

Wang Genbao lifted the lid, and the room was immediately filled with aromas. Lin Yuan watched the crowd happily filling up the noodles and ate them, then quietly walked up to Lu Wansu, and said in a low voice, "Come to my compartment after eating. "

Lu Wansu hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said, "Shuai Lin has something to order, so how dare I eat, I'll go with you now."

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "No, I have a lot to say, you should eat first." Lin Yuan returned to his compartment after speaking, and after a while, he saw Lu Wansu walking in, Lin Yuan He asked him to sit down in front of him, then took out a map from the box, put it in front of Lu Wansu, and said, "Tell me, which road you took when you went to Kulun Trade."

Lu Wansu pointed to a place in the west of Shanxi, and said, "If we go to the west line, we have to come out from the tiger's mouth, and then..."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "My troops are all in the northeast. If I send troops, I will go from the east of Shanxi, and I will not go to the west of Shanxi anyway!" So Lin Yuan said: "Don't talk about the west, just talk about the east. line."

Lu Wansu nodded and said: "If it's the east route, then we will come out from Zhangjiakou and go north, and then we will enter Inner Mongolia. The scene is also different from the Central Plains. You can rarely see crops, and most of them are grasslands. There are very few people in the middle, and further north, you will arrive at a small town called Yilin, where business travelers from south to north gather, and then..."

Lin Yuan waved his hand suddenly and said, "Slow! How big is this city called Yilin, and how many people are there? Is there any garrison?"

Lu Wansu replied: "This is the jurisdiction of the Xilingol League in Inner Mongolia. The prince of the Xilingol League manages the taxation and public security here. The troops of the Prince of the Xilingol League are stationed in the city. They are all cavalry, about 1000 people."

The rule of the Qing Dynasty in Mongolia was different from that of the inland area. The inland area was divided into provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties. In Mongolia, it was divided into banners and leagues. The land and population within a certain range were divided into one banner, and several banners formed a league. At this time, there were six alliances in Inner Mongolia. Lin Yuan knew that these six alliances were relatively close to the Central Plains, were greatly influenced by the Central Plains culture, and had a close relationship with the Qing court, so there was no need to worry that these six alliances would be conspired by the Russians. Split.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "If we want to send troops, it is relatively short to enter Mongolia directly from the northeast, but most of the areas bordering the northeast and Mongolia are deserts, and there are no ready-made post roads or commercial routes, which is extremely unfavorable for the mobilization of troops. If you start from Zhangjiakou, there are not only post roads to choose from, but also ready-made commercial routes to supply, and from the northeast to Zhangjiakou, there are railways to choose from, which is very convenient!"

Lin Yuan stared intently at the small town called Yilin, thinking: "This is our first supply point." At this moment, he heard Lu Wansu say from the side: "Shuai Lin, what are you thinking about?"

Only then did Lin Yuan come back to his senses, and said, "It's nothing, just keep talking."

Lu Wansu then said: "We set off from Yilin and entered the Tuxietu Khan tribe of Outer Mongolia. This place is under the jurisdiction of General Uliasu of the Qing Dynasty. There are relatively few towns on this road, such as Ude, Senzhi, and Ulan Torohai, and there are many deserts between the towns, and these places are not peaceful, and there are horse bandits infesting them!"

Lin Yuan asked: "Horse bandit? How many people are there? How is the equipment?"

Lu Wansu said: "Some of these horse bandits are criminals from the Central Plains, who fled to Mongolia and have no means of living, so they make a living by robbing; , Our caravans are usually accompanied by martial artists, and they will rob when they arrive. If the robbery fails to kill people, if they can’t finish killing people, they will cut all the water bags brought by the caravan, and there will be no water when crossing the desert. , but narrowly escaped death!"

Lin Yuan nodded, thinking: "After we enter Mongolia, we can clean up these horse bandits and win the hearts of the people."
