This inscription is also written with pride, Liu Yu raised his leg and kicked it, the wood was strong, and his toes hurt from the shock.

"The grass and trees have no heart, but they are dead things, why should adults have trouble with wood?"

Liu Yu squatted on the ground, rubbed his toes, and scolded: "Where is it that you can't get along with wood?" It's that Ya Lang Dashi is so famous, and to this day the Rakshasa people still call us Khitan. I just thought about what you were patrolling when you were patrolling the border? Such a big thing, I don't know if it's smashed? ”

Du Feng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly explained: "My lord, although I know Western numbers, I can also speak a few words of Rakshasa language. I don't know what it means, but I see that there are numbers on it, and it is just a tombstone. The so-called death of a person is great, and it is not good to move people's graves. If we had known that it was so hateful, we would have smashed it. ”

The dead are great, this is a kind of Zhuxia morality that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Du Feng really didn't expect this to be written like this, and the last sentence was even more ambitious.

Hurriedly beckoned, to "make up for the merits" with those partners, to knock down this big cross.

Liu Yu hurriedly grabbed it, waved his hand and said, "The merit is not here, and it is not at this time." Keep it for now, and smash it later. Since you have been to Rakshasa Castle, how far is Rakshasa Castle from here? ”

"Back to my lord, there is still a long way to go. To the east from the Acropolis of Handori, it is all swampy and uninhabitable. Second, the upper reaches of the Songhua River are in our hands, and the Rakshasa people are also worried that there will be a war and our sailors will go downstream, so they built the fortress on the bank of the Heilongjiang River. If there is a war, the Rakshasa sailors can also go down the river to support. ”

It is very close to the Sanjiangkou where the Songhua River flows into the Heilongjiang River, and if there are conditions, it is naturally best to build a city at the Sanjiangkou.

However, it seems that the current level of technology is not enough to build a city and live in the swampy Sanjiangkou, and the location of the Rakshasa Castle is not bad, and it is quite thoughtful.

"Du Feng, you have not only learned the meaning of surveying, but also learned some miscellaneous knowledge, and your father is also a captain of the border army. It's been so long, you haven't thought of mapping the Rakshasa castle? ”

Du Fengxin said that I learned that thing to be an official, not to do this.

But you just finished saying that you are not in his position and do not seek his own government, I drew a picture, and I was not promoted, and no one rewarded me with a few taels of silver, what did I draw that laush for?

Your fart is light, you can grow from small to large, except for the degraded official, how can there be a serious Beijing official here? You "Li" family members don't think about it, but let us think about it?

But this was not a good thing to say, so I had to say: "What the adults have taught me is to remember it below." It was only after the adults said that I understood what it meant to apply what I had learned. If you learn and don't use it, then it's better not to learn. ”

Liu Yu sighed and said in his heart that this rhetoric is a set.

"The fortress of the Rakshasa people is far away, and it is full of swamps, how can they collect tribute?"

"Back to my lord, the Rakshasas make boats out of birch bark. A small boat is only thirty or fifty pounds, and it can hold six or seven people. Go down the river or up the estuary. A team of thirty or fifty people, even the average small tribe is difficult to resist. If you don't want to die, you pay tribute with skin. My father took people to fight because of the tribe's complaints, and killed several Rakshasas in the chaotic battle, and his own leg was also injured. ”

Quietly said that his family was a meritorious person, Liu Yu thought about the Cossacks who were rowing birch bark boats around, and said that these Cossacks were learned from the Vikings?

After asking a little more, Liu Yu also understood the situation of the border army.

The Cossacks could come here to rob and collect tribute, but these border troops had no way to come and go.

Most of these tribes were canonized by the imperial court and nominally belonged to the various guards. It's too much trouble to rob them, and you may be accused of being pushed to the end.

In the land of bondage, the court paid tribute, and the tribe showed submission, which is the Zhuxia tradition. On the Rakshasa side, it is to rob first, and if you are used to being robbed, you don't need to rob, and the tribe will take the initiative to hand it in on time.

The border army is also red at the skin of the tribe, but no one dares to touch this bottom line.

There are only a few Russians, usually in the castle, and there is no village, and there is no way to think "Kou can go to me or me".

Although the imperial court has not done much in the north in recent years, the system of binding and paying tribute has still been maintained.

Some tribes are both tributes, and robbing them by the border army is equivalent to robbing their own people, which is a great crime, and it is not the same thing as robbing a smuggling caravan - no matter how rich the smuggling caravan is, it is also a business; No matter how poor the tribe is, it also has a nominal official position.

This is not quite the same as the Xiongnu in the Han Dynasty and the West in the Ming Dynasty, which is not quite the same in the eyes of the imperial court: after all, it is not the Central Plains villages and towns that are organized into households, and there are no immigrant villages in this place now.

In this way, the border army can only go out for a spin when there is something to do, and what to do when there is nothing to do.

After the war in the summer, there is nothing to do when they go there to sell things in the winter, and they have already formed a tacit understanding with each other.

This kind of tacit understanding is not a good thing.

However, Du Feng said so, which shows that he doesn't have to worry about showing his feet when he goes to Rakshasa Castle. These people around him are all veterans, different from the people in the caravan, and they can see if they have a heart. Since there is such a tacit understanding, the Russians should not care.

The border army robbed the caravan, and the Cossacks on the opposite side were no different. It's nothing more than watching people put down dishes, and if you can beat it, you will rob it, and if you can't beat it, you won't rob it.

After asking about the general situation, Liu Yu called Jiao Lao Butu and others over to discuss.

"Our errand is to find out the truth. Since it was a tribe that had prepared part of the caravan and part of it disguised as a deer hunting dog, it was about to begin. ”

Jiao Lao Butu also knew his duty, and nodded: "It's not difficult to pretend to be a tribe. The battalion has already allocated many naturalized soldiers for this purpose. Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that it's easy for adults to lead the army out once, if we only do this little work, it will be in vain to suffer the fatigue of walking thousands of miles. Before I came, I was told to listen to the adults. I don't know what the court is going to do, can you tell me something? It's also good to act cheaply. ”

Liu Yu was happy in his heart, and said in his heart that this was also a restless person.

Military merit is the top, and the army is based on beheading and breaking the city, and I can hear that I feel that it is easy to come out for a trip, and there is no rope to tie it, so I might as well do a big vote. It's just that I don't know what the imperial court means, so I want to talk about Liu Yu's tone.

But Liu Yu understood in his heart that it was important to restrain it, so he said: "If you want to make meritorious service, I also want to make meritorious service, but this merit is not easy to stand." If you are a little careless, you don't have the credit, but it becomes the crime of provoking the border. ”

It is a secret that the imperial court wants to start a war against Russia, which is nothing more than that there are no Rakshasas in the DPRK and the capital, and the imperial court does not care too much about secrecy. But Jiao Lao Butu is not the so-called "own person" in the circle of Qi Guogong after all, and he doesn't know much about it, but he just asked him to listen to Liu Yu in major matters.

I don't know the bottom line of the imperial court, and I don't know a lot of things in my heart, and I want to get to the bottom of it.

Liu Yu first explained the key to the matter clearly, and signaled not to miss the big thing. To appease, he drew another pie.

"You don't have to think that you have to be beheaded to kill people. Since you have read the book, how did you get up in the Kaiyuan period? Didn't you start by keeping track of where there are springs, where there are rivers, where you can garrison troops? Do you think that fighting a war is the half day of battle? The easiest way to fight is the half day of fighting. ”

Without saying it thoroughly, Jiao Lao Butu knew what he meant, understood what Liu Yu meant, and also understood what the court meant.

It's just that I couldn't help but spit a few times in my heart, and secretly cursed the bad luck. If you don't know how to use the code, don't use it blindly, you don't understand what the ending of this person is, it's very unlucky.

Since he understood the intentions of the imperial court, he was relieved.

Liu Yu has a lot of things to do. It is necessary not only to investigate the arming situation and armament status of the Rakshasa Castle, but also to take people to draw maps of mountains and rivers, as well as the inscriptions of Tuoyongning Temple.

Yongning Temple is still far from here, and you have to be prepared to check the castle of the Rakshasa people, and know what to check and what to draw.

To put it mildly, the credit for doing a good job in surveying, mapping and investigation is Liu Yu's.

To put it mildly, the Rakshasa people's city defense system and ruling methods are all an opportunity for Dashun to try and learn.

Liu Yu was actually quite politically incorrect in his heart, and secretly thought that it would be best for Dashun to use the experience of the war in the late Ming Dynasty to attack the castle of Rakshasa with heavy casualties, and if he was not beaten, he would not wake up after all. It is better to let the emperor feel the pain of the Western military system if he says that the Western military system is out of the blue......

If you are a "Tian Feng", you can say something correct, but it is impossible to use tactics in the army, or it is not capable of using them. In the future, if the siege is not overcome, Fang will show that he is correct, and what he said is not just talk on paper.

With Dashun's ability to project troops, and Li Guo's reformed tactical system at the level of thirty years of war, it is not a problem to win strategically, but the cost and the number of deaths.

There is always a price for everything.

Fortunately, because of his background under the feudal dynasty, he doesn't need to do that "price", and he is qualified not to be a number in the history books.

"Well, let's go to Rakshasa's first castle first. When we come out of the castle, we'll discuss it again. I'll use the first castle of the Rakshasas as a template and tell those people how to check and what to think. Although those people know some Western studies, they don't understand military affairs, so they are afraid that they will let him go directly with you and not see the point. ”

"Second, this investigation report is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. It is clearly written and qualified. Write clearly and make suggestions, only then is superior. How to besiege the Rakshasa Castle, there is experience in Western learning, and it can be taught, and when the time comes, I will teach them, and they will follow you to check and follow the template to go to the staff, and when the time comes, will the above be 'shocked, thinking that there is talent to use'? ”

"Maybe in the future, there will be a 'staff department' in the army. Well done, it's good for you and me. ”

He was secretly scheming and drew a big pie for Jiao Laobu.

But he was overjoyed, and thought to himself that it was so. This Liu Yu has the ability to reach the sky, if he can really write clearly and make suggestions, not to mention the credit in the future, at least he can be remembered by the above.

"Done. It's just that there are so many of us, I'm afraid that going to the Rakshasa people together will be worried. In my opinion, the adults and I will bring a hundred or ten good hands, and the rest will wait here. If the Rakshasas really see something, it's easy to slip. ”

Liu Yu smiled bitterly: "Lao Shu, it's easy to slip away." But after slipping away, our future will be ruined. I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm afraid that these elite soldiers are used to being wild, they are all masters who have killed people, and if they enter the Rakshasa Castle, they will copy the guy and do it. It's okay to be restrained. ”

"Yes."

Jiao Lao Butu also felt reasonable, and several people agreed to divide the whole team into two parts.

Liu Yu, Jiao Lao Butu, Du Feng and others, together with 100 people, drove the cart. The rest of the people camped in the dense forest by the river and waited.

Carry muskets and weapons with you, and caravans must have weapons anyway.

After crossing the river and parting, after walking for a few more days, Liu Yu finally saw the castle of the Rakshasa people, and wondered how to be this "Tian Feng" in his heart.
