Holding high the banner of "Refusal to Pay the Tooth Sack", the well-fed and well-fed people came to the outside of the castle of the Rakshasas.

Liu Yu and these people don't even need to change their clothes at all. After walking for almost a year, the clothes that have not been washed at all, saying that they are a tribe in the forest, no one will doubt it.

For the time being, the soldiers of Handoliwei did not need to come to participate in the siege, but went back to transport grain and grass.

The money used to disguise the caravan at the beginning, Liu Yu felt that he had no problem using it.

As long as you tell the emperor at that time, and when you send the money, you also say that this is your majesty's reward, not to mention your own, there should be no problem.

As for the three thousand taels of silver he owed to his family and fox friends, Liu Yu didn't care.

As long as he succeeds and makes meritorious contributions this time, his father has to jump high to help him repay the money.

Besides, why should you pay back the money you borrowed with your ability? If he makes a meritorious contribution this time, those fox friends and dog friends are not allowed to express it?

Money is not an issue, many things are easy to solve.

There are a lot of soldiers on the Acropolis of Handoli, but the grain in this place cannot be sold.

If you don't fight, you won't be able to use it for anything other than to make wine and change skins.

If the grain is transported to a place with a large population like Liaodong and sold, there will be a wife who will not worry about losing even the child in the womb. The surrounding tribes fish and hunt, it is good to drink two sips of wine, and they are willing to exchange it for skin, but there are a lot of soju pots in Handoliwei, and the price of food is not low.

This group of government soldiers may be the people who are most looking forward to fighting in Heilongjiang, in addition to being able to make meritorious contributions, divide land, and increase the population of tenant farmers, the grain stored in their own homes can finally be sold for money.

There is a relationship between Du Feng and Du Qian, and the price of grain in the Acropolis of Handoli is bought at the normal price. The captured Cossack horses were also traded by Liu Yu and these government soldiers, and they were all exchanged for food.

It's a pity that at this time, Russia had not yet bred Don hippos, and the Cossacks rode mostly Mongolian horses, otherwise they could have improved their horse breeds.

There are a few good horses though.

The captured Cossacks said that there were several Karabakh horses from the Persian side and a few Hanoverian horses from Sweden. Although they were captured, the Cossacks who loved horses still hoped that Liu Yu could take good care of these good horses.

begged Liu Yu not to drink water when the horse was sweating, not to drink ice and snow in winter, and not to feed the grass with dew......

It can be clearly seen that it is different from the woolly horses ridden by the government soldiers, and Liu Yu is the master of the good horses selected, and he keeps three good horses, and the rest are given to those who have a good relationship with him.

Narrowed the relationship between the local real power figures, and had the promise that after the city was broken, the government soldiers of the Acropolis were also highly motivated, and adults and children were mobilized to transport grain to the Heilongjiang River.

After the logistical problem was resolved through negotiation, Liu Yu took Jiao Lao Butu and Du Feng to the upstream.

There is a sandbar and a waterway dotted with the island of Jiangxin.

Bering's map is really well drawn and recorded in great detail.

"I'm confident, but I still have to think about what if. In case the city cannot be broken within twenty days, it is necessary to be prepared to besiege the city on the river and send reinforcements. ”

"Otherwise, if the reinforcements from the upper reaches enter the castle, then we will have to squat outside the city until they run out of food. When the time comes, the credit will not be grabbed, and you will have to regret scratching the wall. ”

Looking at the river channel of Jiangxin Island, which is narrow and crooked and full of sandbanks, after listening to Liu Yu's words, it is easy to understand what he is thinking.

"What do you mean, if we can't break the city within twenty days, we will prepare for an ambush here?"

"Hmm. Just in case. I think so, Du Feng, you asked your father to bring some people, and I also have a carpenter. Let your dad build some birch bark boats here. ”

"Don't let your father go about the siege. One is that he has a leg injury, and the other is that he is old and has a leg injury, and he can't be promoted, so there is no need to grab this work. I'll leave it to you. ”

Du Feng was very satisfied with this arrangement, and was sure that his father would also be satisfied. Liu Yu spoke very straight, it was true, but if Du Feng was not allowed to participate in the siege, then Du Feng would be unhappy.

"I wish I didn't have to fight this battle here. If we can break the city in 20 days, we will defend the city with a strong city, and three or five hundred people from the upstream will come to give credit. It's just that there are just in case of everything, and we can't expect everything to come according to our arrangement. ”

Du Feng responded: "Don't worry, my lord, I'll go tell my father." There are still quite a few carpenters in the city. ”

Liu Yu turned his head to Jiao Lao Butu again.

"Brother Shu, you bring some good hands, and you have been observing the river on the other side for the past few days. If the city sends a boat out to ask for help, don't fight them, let them go. When you see the boat calling for help coming out, let me know. ”

"Yes. How are you going to besiege the city? ”

"There's no rush to this. There is nothing to be done about it first. When they send for help, I'll attack the city in earnest. I still have to deceive that Hannibal, I am really afraid that he will want to repay the favor of the first emperor and exchange himself for the upper castle to prepare for battle. In that case, two great works will become one, and the loss of urine and blood will be lost. ”

Jiao Lao Butu didn't ask any more, and took Liu Yu to Jiangxin Island with an oar.

After measuring the distance between the river and Jiangxin Island, looking at the soil quality of Jiangxin Island, throwing a few leaves to measure the flow rate of the channel, Liu Yu nodded and signaled that there was no problem.

If his own followers fail, if he has to besiege the city here to help, it should be no problem to rely on the captured small cannons, plus the cannons of the Acropolis of Handori, and the captured expedition ship.

"Alright, let's go back. I reckon Hannibal should have a headache too. ”

…………

Liu Yu guessed correctly, Hannibal is indeed a headache.

The ambush was far away, but the sound of gunfire could still be heard, and it was vaguely guessed that there was a big battle there.

He was a very cautious man, and when the Cossacks did not return in the afternoon, he knew in his heart that the Cossacks were finished.

The order was decisively given, and everyone was evacuated to the castle, and the food outside the castle was removed.

Then the trade area and some houses outside the city were burned down without the slightest hesitation.

Many women wept there, and others pleaded not to burn the house, but he ignored them and ordered the exiled shooting army to maintain order.

The house is not burned, which hinders the shooting boundary, and may provide cover for the besieging side and provide siege timber.

After doing everything a fortress engineer would do, Hannibal began to have a headache.

Who did this to you?

Is it the surrounding tribes?

Or did the Khitans and empires in the south go to war?

None of the Cossacks who went out to rob came back, how many people were on the other side?

There were only a hundred and fifty men left in the city, and the remaining women were of little use, and the few who could shoot guns were also called up to participate in the defense, but there were still not enough of them.

However, out of confidence in his own ability, he was sure that he would not have a problem relying on this inferior fortress to stay for a while.

But now the question is whether to send someone for help?

If there is a war with Russia, it is pointless to ask for help, it is better to send someone to tell the officers upstream, let them strictly guard and prepare for battle, and buy some time on their own side.

But if it's just a Buraku "riot", then it's better to call for help.

He was not afraid of the tribesmen attacking the city.

In 1504, 140 Portuguese troops in Cochin, India, fought a 0:5,000 exchange ratio against Calicut's army of 50,000 with a simple city defense system.

Although there was an element of Portuguese boasting, Hannibal thought that with his own skills, he might be able to replicate the myth of the Portuguese in Cochin.

But what if the tribesmen don't siege the city, but only besiege it? After the siege, what about the refusal to pay the Yasak?

Then you have to send people out of the city to sweep it, otherwise the wildfires of the rebellion will burn from Heilongjiang to Kamchatka, and it is said that the tribes of Kamchatka have been organizing a revolt since a few years ago.

Once a fire is burned, it will sweep through the Far East, unless it is extinguished as soon as it is ignited.

Defending the city is not able to keep control over the tribe. Defending the city cannot extinguish the fire of resistance. But to go out of the city to sweep, mobile troops are needed, and Hannibal has no mobile troops in his hands.

In the evening, the vast crowd of tribesmen came to the outside of the city, holding high the banner of "Refuse to pay the tooth sak", and the large blood-colored letters on it could be seen clearly in the telescope.

These tribeamen no longer only had bows and arrows, many carried arquebuses.

Thinking of the firefight he had heard earlier, Hannibal thought that it should be Dashun playing behind his back.

Perhaps Dashun did not want a full-scale war with Russia, so he instigated and instigated these tribesmen to revolt?

Dashun out guns, officers, money, tribes?

If it wins, then Russia will have to withdraw from Heilongjiang.

At least on a diplomatic level, Dashun did not go to war with Russia, but borrowed these tribes to directly gain control of Heilongjiang.

He has been studying in France for too long, and his brain is very Westernized, and he doesn't know what the Celestial Empire is...... The Celestial Empire basically did not have equal diplomacy, and when it was strong, there was no alliance, only the advanced form of alliance such as tributary. It's even less likely that he'll do it the way he wants.

"Mencius" said: Chaotianzi said that he reported on his work. If you don't go to court, you will be demoted; If you don't face it again, you will cut it down; If the three do not move, the six divisions will move to it.

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land.

Within the scope of the royal land, even if the rise of Dzungaria threatens Dashun, it is impossible for Dashun to form an alliance with Khalkha Mongolia on an equal footing: either pay tribute and become a vassal, and I will cover you; Or, the two of you fight together until you are served.

Or...... If you can't beat it, you will kill you, and hang yourself on a tree with a crooked neck.

As for supporting the tribe to resist, he hid behind and did not come forward to accept the tribute, and then came forward when the tribe itself was done...... The DPRK and China will not make such a "humiliating" decision.

However, Hannibal did not understand the differences between East and West. The Western set, applying the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, is not against peace, and it can be used now is obviously a donkey's lips and a horse's mouth.

So judging this matter with his Western brain, he fell into the pit dug by Liu Yu for this Westernized brain.

After careful consideration, Hannibal made a wrong judgment.

In a letter to the officers upstream, he wrote:

“…… Obviously, the Khitans were not ready to go to war with us, but to incite the tribes to revolt against the Yasaks - and in this regard, the actions of the Cossacks were the indisputable fuse. I don't mean to accuse you, you are also a Cossack, but the constant resistance is inseparable from the barbarism of the Cossacks. ”

"But now, barbarism can only be conquered by barbarism."

"In view of this, I beseech you, send about three hundred soldiers. There was nothing wrong with the guards of the fortress, and the barbarians were as fragile as the pancakes on the Masmasitsu. But my troops were not enough to go out of the city to encircle and counterattack. ”

"The resistance of these barbarians, if not stopped in time, will burn like a fire on the steppe. Autumn fires must be extinguished in time. If it is not extinguished, then it is quite possible to burn from here to Buryatia, Kamchatka. You should understand this truth. ”

"As soon as your reinforcements arrive, I can fight back. I think that in the near future, there will be many hanged corpses floating on the Amur River, and next year's anchovy will be fat, but not tasty. When the barbarians see the corpses on the river, they will understand the price of resistance......"
