He Yong couldn't help but look at Bahai, although he had doubts, but seeing that Mai Yunmin was so confident, he did not openly express his doubts, but said sideways: "This brother is really a hero, but after all, he is a general on the horse, you must know that this time to Jiangbei, not only to fight and kill, we are still a task force, to mobilize the masses, carry out trade work, survey the terrain, and draw maps." I can trust Bahai when it comes to fighting, killing, but I'm afraid he won't be able to handle the rest. ”

  Who is Mai Yunmin, he saw He Yong's doubts at a glance, so he put the meaning into his words: "Lao He, although Bahai is young, he has been in battle for a long time, and his father also has a deep friendship with Haoge, he is a bold person, so you are definitely compatible, speaking of which, now you are not outsiders!" He and I are kowtow brothers, and I have already submitted this matter to the Military and Political Department for the record. Besides, who said I would let the people of Bahai go? I've got more than 1,000 people ready! Among these people are people from the Chamber of Commerce, nurses in Langzhong who treat diseases and save people, young men from our staff department, who have to survey and map the mountains, rivers and roads along the way, and members of the propaganda team. For each squad, I plan to allocate 10 to 15 people from Bahai and about 100 people to the rest of us, so that they can cooperate with each other and not be afraid that Jiangbei will not be able to do well. Not only are the men fully equipped, but each team of men and horses, I also equipped them with two three-pounder cannons to carry with climbing plows, which is easy to use whether it is to beat people or fight the stockade! ”

  He Yong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then can you let me take a look at these soldiers?" Mai Yunmin smiled: "Lao He, I suggest you don't worry, now these people have been fascinated by the leader of my propaganda team." He Yong quipped: "So the girl of the propaganda team is beautiful." Mai Yunmin shook his head: "What's not pretty, the team leader is a man, it's just that he has a good voice and is good at commenting on books, no, I'm telling these people about Mu Guiying vs. Gai Suwen." ”

  "Wait... He Yong hurriedly motioned to Mai Yunmin to stop, and he said suspiciously: "It's not Lao Mai, are you talking a bit nonsense?" Anyway, we have also read the book for a few days, not to mention whether there is a person like Mu Guiying, even according to what is said in the book, this Mu Guiying is from the Song Dynasty, she is dealing with the Liao State, it is the Western Xia or something, but Gai Suwen is from the Tang Dynasty, and this master is in a series with Xue Li Xue Baipao. How could they touch a piece of it, and the gang still listened to it with relish? Mai Yunmin nodded: "It stands to reason that it's really nonsense, but if you can't stand it, people will spill dog blood?!" All kinds of nonsense makes everyone's blood boil. Although the name is nonsense, it doesn't mean that the content is nonsense, or else, listen to a paragraph with me? ”

  After a while, they came to a temporary playground, although it was temporary, but there was not a single weed on the ground, and it was also paved with sand and gravel, which was very clean and tidy. Around the playground, twenty people sat in a circle, and all of them sat on small horses, staring intently at the center of the playground. In the center of the playground stood a young man in Confucian costume, he was telling the story, dancing and telling the story, these people were fascinated, and when they said wonderful, they burst into bursts of applause and warm applause from time to time, which I think made the audience very enjoyable.

  He Yong was stunned for a moment, he looked at the soldiers with money rat tails, and asked Ba Hai puzzled: "Do you Jurchens all know Chinese?" Ba Hai smiled and said: "You are really right about this, the Jurchen has been in contact with the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, as long as it is not a person who has been nesting in the village and can't come out, he can speak a few words of Chinese." So much so that when Lao Han wanted to enforce the Manchu language, not many people could say it until now. To tell the truth, Lao Han himself is also a Chinese dialect that is more neat than Jurchen! Who made him grow up in Liaoyang? Belch.... (As if talking about something in the way, Bahai hurriedly shifts the conversation.) In addition, these brothers of mine are all working all night and don't know what kind of Chinese they can't speak? There is a saying among us that if we can't speak Manchu, at most the master will punish us, but if we can't speak Chinese, it will be terrible! ”

  He Yong and Mai Yunmin both laughed loudly, and after laughing, the two of them also listened quietly, but listening to it, He Yong felt that something was wrong, so he pulled Mai Yunmin aside and said in a low voice: "Old Mai, isn't the book that this young man said is the eldest lady beating Tashan?" Isn't Gaysuvin Dolgon? Aren't you afraid that these Tartars will hear the opposite? ”

  Mai Yunmin smiled and said: "Lao He, you are too worried about this, although it is a storyteller, but by their side, I have always arranged for someone to watch them, but if they have any abnormalities, the fire gun will immediately send them to the West Heaven." As for this book, there are really not many people who hear it first, of course, that Bahai obviously heard something wrong, but he didn't say anything, but he listened to it very happily. In addition, don't underestimate this storytelling and singing, the so-called storytelling and singing persuasion party, there are rights and wrongs in it. This young man's Mu Guiying vs. Gai Suwen actually made several things clear in it, first, it is not right to kill and set fire for the sake of the master's selfish desires, second, no matter how the internal fight is killed, when the foreign enemy comes, the foreign enemy must be fought first, third, Mu Guiying is very generous to the people who surrendered, that is, we are generous to the people who surrendered, and fourth, when the war is over, we will also build a beautiful new Liaodong. Although these things cannot be said explicitly, subtly, letting them know right from wrong can greatly reduce the estrangement between them and facilitate joint operations. ”

  While speaking, Mai Yunmin motioned to the old man with his eyes, and asked him to see a few places not far away, where there were a few three-pounder guns very casually, and the gunners were using muslin and wool brushes to maintain the artillery, but the black shells in the birch bark basket next to him, and the medicine bag at the gunner's feet told He Yong that his old man was not unprepared.

  He Yong's brows stretched at this time, he looked at the soldiers who were listening attentively, and then said to Mai Yunmin: "Old Mai, if you say so, I also have an idea. Look at this, we are going to the Northern Expedition, and the Rakshasas will definitely have to engage in some conspiracies along the way, such as ambushes and the like. I suggest that we don't let them go on at first, and let our troops show off the strength of our firearms and the bravery of our bayonet charge, so that they can have a deeper understanding of our strength, so that they can also ensure that they will not have problems to the greatest extent in the future, don't you think? Mai Yunmin nodded: "I have already considered this matter, and before the official road construction work is launched, they will mainly be responsible for watching the battle and chasing down the enemy army... ”

  As he was talking, the herald suddenly came to Mai Yunmin, and the herald looked at He Yong, probably because he was not very familiar with it, so he didn't know whether to say it or not. Mai Yunmin waved his hand and said, "Lao He is his own person, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Then the herald said, "General Mai, a female Rakshasa outsider has sent a letter, see if you can see it." Mai Yunmin frowned, and said in his heart that he had just executed the undercover agent of the Rakshasa people, why did he send another woman? Do the Rakshasas want to buy me with money and beauty? Lao Tzu is not the infatuation seed of Gao Rong, he has always eaten and wiped clean and does not admit it! Lifting pants to give money and leaving is Lao Tzu's style! Then I'd like to see what kind of money and beauty they give! Thinking of this, Mai Yunmin said to He Yong: "Lao He, let's go and have a look." ”

  After a while, the messenger of the Rakshasa brought it, and saw that this woman was tall and slender, with a beautiful face, Rao is Mai Yunmin has been fighting in the south and north under the banner of the Nanyue Army all these years, and her vision is very broad, but she can't stand seeing such a color suddenly in this wild place of Heilongjiang, if he doesn't react, it would be nonsense. If it weren't for the special situation at this time, Mai Yunmin would really want to learn a foreign language from her. After the politeness, Mai Yunmin asked the messenger straight to the point: "Where is your letter, I will show it to you." The woman respectfully presented the letter, handed it to the herald and handed it to Mai Yunmin, Mai Yunmin unfolded it, and after reading it, his face was expressionless, but he handed the letter to He Yong, He Yong was puzzled, so he also opened it to watch, only to see that it was written: "The lower minister Count of the Rus Kingdom Pil Chin worships the general of the Khitan State: Ross is a small border country, squeezed by the surrounding states, it is difficult to survive, and he has no choice but to travel thousands of miles, wanting to trade with the Khitan, and get tribute and rewards for the peace of the country and the people." However, the people of Jiangbei Beidi were fierce and often attacked and harassed the caravan, so Benbo had no choice but to protect the caravan, so he fought a few battles with the Jiangbei natives, and there was really no offense to the Khitan. Now Jiangbei is flat, Benbo promised, in the future, the fur native products will be sold to the Khitan caravan as usual, the price is one to two percent lower than in the past, the caravan to Jiangbei, unimpeded, Benbo to ensure that they are safe and sound. At the same time, a ross Cossack beauty was sent, this woman is good at saber dance, with a gorgeous posture and a slender figure, which is really a secret treasure in the boudoir, and the Khitan general smiles. Count of Rus' country, Bilchin goodbye. ”

  He Yong was about to turn his face when he saw it, what kind of thing did he say, and treat us as wine-lustful people? But he is not the main general, everything depends on Mai Yunmin. He grinned at Mai Yunmin, who understood his expression, "How is it, do you want to?" If you don't want to, you might as well give it to me. ”

  Mai Yunmin was still expressionless, he just asked the messenger lightly: "I heard that you are good at saber dancing, can you show us?" The envoy smiled and said, "Yes, but when I came, the saber was taken away, I wonder if the general has the courage to return it?" Mai Yunmin also smiled and said: "This is easy to say, come on, give the saber to this girl." ”

  The messenger waited for the saber to get it, and calmed down a little, only to see her figure turn quickly, her expression became serious, the saber changed from slow to fast, and her body shape changed from static to rapid movement, and soon, the sword light shrouded the messenger's figure, as if the knife and the messenger were integrated. The whole saber dance lasted about a quarter of an hour, obviously this was still for the sake of ornamentation, and after the result was over, the envoy did not change his face for a long time, and he was still so calm and calm. Mai Yunmin was nothing after reading it, but the herald was distracted, this beauty and saber dance were simply amazing.

  Looking at the appearance of the herald, Mai Yunmin didn't care, he looked directly at the messenger and asked, "This dance is a daily study in your hometown, everyone knows it?" The envoy nodded, and Mai Yunmin also nodded, he sighed and said: "I believe that I have seen it, and I have finished watching the dance, while I am still in a good mood, you should go back immediately and tell Pelchin that we have a habit in China to let the death row prisoner eat a good meal and take a bath before beheading." You let Bilchin eat, drink, and bathe these days. Mai Yunmin paused slightly: "I will take his head in the autumn in a year's time." ”

  "Also, I've heard some things about your Ross, you Cossacks, and the Rakshasas are not one, why do you want to fight for others? You may wish to consult with your people when you go back, and if you are willing to engage in legitimate trade with our Nanyue army, I welcome you to come and talk. As he spoke, someone brought two gifts, which were considered a gift to the Cossack woman.

  "Two sabers, one silk. Girl, there is a saying in my Heavenly Empire, swords are given to heroes, and red powder is given to beautiful women. Now, I give you the sword and the silk, the Cossack eaglet, and you should think about it when you return. ”

  The messenger didn't say much, but bowed and left. As soon as the envoy left, Mai Yun slapped the table directly angrily: "Arrogance, too much deception!" Everyone in your Rakshasa country is brave and warlike, don't I have no men in China? He Yong saw that Mai Yunmin was like this, so he didn't have to pretend, and he also said in an atmosphere: "Old Mai, fuck him, don't worry, where your army hits, my road will be repaired for you, to ensure that you have no worries." ”

  Mai Yunmin stabilized his mood a little before saying, "Lao He, you immediately order your engineering troops to form a team, carry the necessary supplies, and immediately prepare to set off with the vanguard troops." I've sent someone to keep an eye on this rakshasa girl, and you're going to follow her to see where she's going, and then you're going to plow the hole. ”

  He Yong smiled and quipped: "I said Lao Mai, do you want me to take care of my subordinates and take care of the fragrance and cherish the jade, and catch you a job?" Mai Yunmin snorted and returned: "Get out, I can kill the immortals, you want to keep this girl." But... Mai Yunmin changed his words and said: "If you catch a captive, Lao He, you remember, there is no nobleman left, but the illiterate peasants are left for me, and I will be of great use." He Yong was stunned and said: "It's not that I look down on farmers, but what is the use of a simple farmer?" Mai Yunmin sneered and returned: "Who said that the crop man is useless, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are also crop man!" What's more, these Cossacks and Rakshasas are not the same thing in the first place! ”

  Although He Yong still didn't quite understand what Mai Yunmin meant, it didn't matter if he carried out the order. So he immediately went back to reorganize his troops, prepare supplies, and the next day, the vanguard and engineers walked along the river under the guidance of the scouts. At first, it was uneventful, but after five days, the scout reported that the Rakshasa woman had disappeared

  , He Yong suddenly felt that there might be danger ahead, don't fall for someone else's plan to be lured into an ambush circle!

  So he ordered the fleet to prepare for battle, and at the same time let the people of Bahai disembark and follow along the river on horseback in case of accidents. The result really made He Yong guess, it was a familiar recipe, a familiar taste, Khabarov sent people to ambush the willow trees by the river, and another artillery bombardment sank two small boats, and the Nanyue army was killed and wounded more than a dozen people, but the situation behind was completely different from what the Rakshasa people expected.

  The signal corpsmen on the vanguard ship immediately sounded the brass trumpet and informed the enemy of the situation behind. The ships then dispersed to avoid greater casualties while carefully observing the Rakshasa fire. After discovering that the Rakshasas had three cannons, they immediately told the ships in the rear through the flag. The rear ships immediately formed a formation, the trumpeter also blew the horn of the attack, and the trainee drummer of the Nanyue Army beat a rhythmic drum beat to guide the offensive rhythm of the troops.

  Speaking of these drummers, don't look at them without weapons, they are relatively young, but they have a lot of backgrounds. They are all interns in military schools, and if they can graduate, they are all officers, so according to the Chinese, you all know things, not to mention that the family is all powerful, at least they are also people who can climb relationships with characters with heads and faces, and the worst is also the children of martyrs who have hung up in the hearts of Li Shouhan and others.

  It's just that although Li Shouhan opened the back door to let you in, if he wants to graduate, it's not that simple. In peacetime, these people want to go down to the factory farm army to have a full set of internships, and any of them fail the assessment, sorry, go home. As for whether you go home to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots or fried meat with belts, then Li Shouhan doesn't care. In wartime, they generally act as drummers, and although the casualties of drummers are not as good as those of front-line soldiers, they are definitely not a safe duty. To be honest, some people are dissatisfied, but there is no way, Li Shouhan has already told them with a straight face, if the child has not been trained, it is waste, today you are not willing to beat and scold, tomorrow people are willing to kill your whole family.

  The supreme leader spoke, and even if these people were dissatisfied, they had to listen, not to mention that Li Shouhan's sons and daughters also had to accumulate qualifications in various industries of workers, peasants and soldiers, otherwise they would honestly gnaw a bowl of old rice at home. It's okay if you don't want to, unless you have the means to get a place for your lame son to stay. However, ordinary people really don't have the ability and guts! Of course, if you want to open it, in fact, this drum and bugle player still has a lot of benefits, not only can you experience the battle formation, but also can add honor to yourself, and others want to grab this door. However, war is war after all, and the Rakshasas also saw the importance of these drummers for the attack, so they concentrated their fire on the boats on which the drummers were riding, and soon the ships were shot and there were casualties. However, the ships that had not been shot continued to command, and a dozen boats rushed straight and orderly towards the willow bushes like arrows from the string, and they were about to rush ashore. But at this moment, an accident happened suddenly, from the bushes upstream, a group of people pushed down a batch of rafts, and then, the rafts rushed downstream at a very fast speed, with a clear purpose, that is, to cooperate with the Rakshasas on the shore to disrupt the fleet, and strive to annihilate the Southern Yue army. These Rakshasas are obviously strong, all of them are naked, screaming wow, and they are all holding snow-bright steel knives and axes in their hands, and it is a bloody battle when they see it.
