Chapter 776: Barbarians, Devils, and Maozi (4)
Once the strategic approach has been decided, it is time to discuss the details. Since it came to the details, Bilchin said worriedly: "Andrei, if you want to defeat the Sauronians, I have no worries, the question is where to put so many prisoners of war. Although we only keep young women, it is estimated that this arrest will not be able to stop thousands of people, and it is far from being a temporary camp that can be accommodated, and we must not be too close to the Khitans, otherwise, they will be able to solve us as soon as they reach out, and we will not be busy in vain. ”
Andrei sighed when he heard this, patted Bilchin on the back with his hand and said: "I have to thank my sister, your dear love, for because we have improved relations with the Khitans, so we have the opportunity to find such a suitable place." After saying that, Andrei opened a cabinet, took out a gold-filled box, and then repeatedly opened several locks, just like taking a matryoshka doll, and it took a long time to take out a map. After unfolding the map, Andrei said: "You see here, in the northwest of the Heilongjiang River, there is a tribe of the Daur people, whose place of residence is called Yaxa, which means Jiangwanzi that has been washed away by the river. The location here is important, and it is far away from the stronghold of the Khitans, and in the north of Heilongjiang, the climate is very cold, and the freezing time is long, even in summer, in addition to Heilongjiang, there is a lack of roads, and the waterway of Heilongjiang is not too good, only a few times can be navigated normally. What's more, the Daur people here have a better relationship with the Liaodong rebels, and they are far away from the Khitan stronghold, so they have not been infiltrated by the Khitans for a long time. Correspondingly, the combat effectiveness of the people here is extremely poor. But because of this, in order to guard against the possible attack of the Khitans, they built a simple civil fortress, although it is not enough to meet our needs, but we can temporarily meet the needs with a little transformation, and do not require too much work. More important than that, after we finished the operation, it happened that the Heilongjiang River basin was about to cool down, and there was no time to launch a large-scale military operation, so we had at least a winter break. ”
At this time, Bilchin had completely forgotten the hatred of taking his wife, and he asked Bilchin in surprise: "How did Lyca get this information?" Andrei shook his head and said: "My friend, I can only say that your knowledge really does not match your talent, no matter how capable my sister is, she can't get so much information alone, this matter is a systematic project." Of course, Lijia was very credited to opening a gap in the Khitan's tight fortress, and then we took advantage of this gap and first tried to send a caravan, only to be intercepted by the Khitans. But the Khitans allowed us to trade at the designated place because we didn't carry weapons and only brought trade materials, and then we took advantage of this opportunity to fully understand the situation of the tribes participating in the trade, and at the same time sent some things, exchanged feelings, and also used some rare materials to buy, and got the opportunity to visit their tribes, and in this way, over the years, we were able to draw this map. Therefore, don't look at these little things clearly, small things can also kill the enemy at a critical moment. ”
Speaking of which, the unkind author couldn't help but complain a few words again, thinking that some people wanted to destroy the relationship between the two sides of the Yalu River and trumpeted that the other side of the river threatened China. In the end, the DPRK leaders were alarmed, and the official media were ordered to ridicule each other, and the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) issued an article mocking it, and South Korea has set up thousands of spy points on the border between China and North Korea to spy on the economic, political, and military intelligence of the DPRK.
As soon as these words came out, the leader of the Celestial Empire immediately ordered an in-depth investigation, and this investigation did not matter, the boss almost slaughtered some people on the spot. Not only is what North Korea says true, but the matter is far more serious than North Korea says. During a certain period of time, some people relaxed the restrictions and supervision on foreign investment under the pretext of attracting investment, and as a result, the upper and lower levels of the Celestial Empire were infiltrated like a sieve by a small East Asian country, and informants were even dragged to the central government.
Something like this isn't just happening on the banks of the Yalu River. It is not only the sticks on the south side of the 38th parallel that have come to infiltrate. In the vicinity of many sensitive secret units and military facilities, since the spring breeze of reform has blown, countless foreign-funded enterprises have appeared like dog pee, such as Japan, the United States, and the other side of the strait. No matter what they are doing and what their business situation is, they can continue to operate all the time, and they are more concerned about the wind and grass of these target units than their own business conditions. The army reacted to the government, but was told not to undermine the overall situation of economic construction and not to affect the introduction of foreign capital, and that "the army must be patient." "To make way for economic construction, these people's speeches have become shields.
The most outrageous thing is that on the eastern coast, the construction of a base for mushroom submarines, such a secret project related to the country's strategic interests, has caused countless foreign spies to sharpen their heads and want to know the specific location and parameters, but they have no way to start. However, there are those who publish these contents in the local daily newspaper in the form of a public notice ordered by the government, and ask the project headquarters to go through the relevant procedures with the relevant departments in the city, and so on. For a time, various foreign spy agencies celebrated each other and asked each other, is such a fool our comrade? A project related to the national strategy, which cost a lot of money, was easily destroyed by someone inside. This also verifies the saying that "a fortress is the easiest to attack from within." ”
What is even more distressing is that it is not that no one is aware of these things, some old cadres and employees of old state-owned enterprises, because of the education of a certain Hunan people, have long seen the clues, but they have been suppressed by some people in the name of opposing that. Fortunately, rabbits are good at making mistakes, but they are even better at correcting mistakes, and after that incident, a large number of spies from a certain country in East Asia were cleaned up, and national security education was strengthened, which avoided the situation that the embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in an anthill. But looking back on history, it is still worth pondering.
Pelchin nodded and said, "Andrey, it seems that everything is ready now, so I'll go and prepare now, and when I'm ready, I will start the battle of Jiangbei immediately." Andrei grabbed Bilchin, who was leaving, and said sinisterly: "My friend, don't worry, you have to prepare not only muskets and steel knives, but also furs and other trade supplies. Don't alarm the Saurons and Khitans at the beginning, you have to pretend to go to normal trade, let the carts be loaded with fur specialties, hide your weapons, deceive the Khitan patrols respectfully, and wait until you have passed the checkpoint, and then backhand to deal with the few elites of the Khitans, and then drive straight into the villages of the Saurons. Now the Sauron people not only cooperate with the Khitan people in the southern expedition, but most of the people left behind are also hunting and gathering, and there are only the old, weak, sick and disabled in the village. When we reach the Khitan fortress on the Amur River, we must bluff and surround it, and the Khitan people are few, so they will not dare to come out easily, so that we can easily sweep away the villages around the fortress. When the looting is over, don't fall in love with the war, and be sure to send supplies and personnel to Yaksa as soon as possible. Remember, everything I say must be done, and if you think your title is higher than mine and you don't listen to me, speak now, and I'll listen to you. ”
Pelchin smiled: "Good friend, with a genius commander like you, what am I bothering to do?" Everything is up to you. After saying that, the two of them laughed at the same time.
A few days later, Khabarov was ordered to lead the army south, and although he was fed up with the humiliation of Bilchin, Khabarov carried out the order as if he was fine.
The Rakshasa team soon came to the checkpoint of the Nanyue Army, and due to the full camouflage, and several successful trade as cover, plus some public relations methods you know, the Rakshasa people did not have much effort to deceive the defenders of the Nanyue Army. Of course, although some people think that if they are not deceived, maybe history will be rewritten, but in fact, even if the deception fails, the result is nothing more than a strong attack, and the outcome will not change much. In short, Khabarov successfully passed the checkpoint, and then took advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders, suddenly attacked, and annihilated the defenders of the Nanyue Army in one fell swoop, although he paid some casualties, but captured dozens of rifles, which greatly enhanced Khabarov's strength. Subsequently, the Rakshasas swept through the tribal villages in Jiangbei like a violent wind, and to their surprise, in addition to the emptiness of the defense that Andrew expected, these tribal villages also stored a large number of supplies, including mushrooms, dried fish, dried nuts, firewood, etc., and even refined salt, white sugar, water pots, clothes, quilts and other items obtained from trade with the Nanyue army. These seizures make the Rakshasas feel as if they are real barbarians, and the Saurons are much better than us now. After thinking about it for a long time, the Rakshasas decided that since we are barbarians, we should be savage to the end. Wherever Khabarov went, Ding Zhuang died from the blade, the old and the young filled the ravines, the houses were burned down, and the women were plundered.
Of course, as the world's oldest fighting nation, the Chinese nation has never lacked the spirit of resistance, and after learning of the changes in Jiangbei, the Sauron people in Jiangnan immediately gathered to support Jiangbei. But unfortunately, the Achilles' heel of the fishermen was exploited by Khabarov. Khabarov hid some artillery in the willow forest along the Heilongjiang River according to Andrei's idea, and when the Saurons rowed a small boat to the ambush circle, Khabarov ordered the cannons to open fire, and the shells whistled towards the Sauronian fleet, shattering a small boat and killing seven or eight Sauronians. If this matter is faced by the Nanyue Army, then the Nanyue Army will immediately launch an attack on the artillery position, even if it is under the rain of bullets, it will have to seize the artillery position. The problem is that it was the Saurons who faced all this, they had neither strict discipline nor experience in fighting artillery, and in a panic, they actually jumped into the water en masse and fled, completely forgetting how cold the water of Heilongjiang was at this time. Khabarov was pleasantly surprised, and he hurriedly ordered his men to chase down the Saurons in small boats. So, the Rakshasas stood on the boats, armed with spears and muskets, and slaughtered the Saurons like fishing. The Saurons were defenseless, their blood staining the river red, and their corpses drifting downstream like a discharge. Such a terrifying scene naturally could not hide from anyone, and soon the downstream Nanyue army got the news, and also rescued a few surviving Saurons, they wept when they saw the Nanyue army, choked up and told the story. The Nanyue army was taken aback, they didn't dare to delay time, and immediately told all this to the general who organized the attack on the southern front, Mai Yunmin.
Mai Yunmin was also surprised when he got the news, but he quickly calmed down, because since the incident had happened, grief was the business of relatives, and the commander could only see the casualties as numbers, and then figure out how to level the numbers. Although this is very cruel, it is what the commander should do, and this is the so-called Ci Bu in charge of the army.
Mai Yunmin immediately convened a meeting of the General Staff Department, and after serious discussions, he came to several conclusions: First, the war against the anti-thieves in Liaodong must be stopped immediately. Second, it is necessary to immediately assemble men and horses to protect the strongholds along the river. Third, it is necessary to immediately raise supplies and prepare for a counterattack.
As a result, the first topic stumped Mai Yunmin, and he said it lightly, to end the battle, you have to agree to it if you want to end it. If you don't agree, there are only two options, quickly defeat the enemy or send a small number of troops to cover the retreat, but the key problem is that time waits for no one, no matter which plan will consume a lot of time, and the increase in time consumed also means variables, now there are smoke and fires everywhere in Jiangbei, and every day of delay, thousands of lives will be killed and injured.
When the Nanyue army was in full swing to discuss countermeasures, the commander suddenly announced: "Report, the Liao thieves outside have sent a messenger, saying that they want to negotiate with our army. Mai Yunmin was stunned, the Liao thief came to negotiate at this time, did he know about the affairs of Jiangbei and threaten our army? But in any case, people wanted to meet, so Mak Yunmin ordered the meeting to be suspended, and then met with the envoy in person.
As a result, Mai Yunmin was surprised at first sight, only to see that the person who came was a middle-aged man, with a burly physique, a thin face, full of energy, and it was difficult to hide a sense of arrogance under his humble appearance. Although a fur coat is ordinary, but in his gestures, he reveals the temperament that he is used to giving orders on weekdays. Mai Yunmin concluded at that time that this person was not simple, even if he was not a powerful thief, at least he was a big official. Thinking of this, Mai Yunmin asked lightly: "May I ask what position Your Excellency holds on the side of the Liao thief?" What is the important matter of seeing this officer? ”
The person who came pursed his lips disdainfully and said: "Contemptible and vulgar people, the size of sesame seeds in official positions, don't talk about it." As for my name, my name is Sha'er Huda, you can just call me Lao Sha. ”
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of the Nanyue Army were in an uproar, and in an instant, the room was full of "Cang Langlang" and "click" sounds, some people held the saber in their hands, and some people pulled out the short fire gun on their waists, pulled off the dragon head, ready to fire at any time, just kidding? The biggest leader of the Qing army in Heilongjiang appeared in front of us so casually, and the ghost believed that he had no conspiracy!
Burst! After hearing this, Mai Yunmin almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, good guy, although he knew that he was a big official, but he didn't expect it to be so big, and he was actually the highest military commander opposite. In an instant, words like what to smash the cup for the number to grab alive shook in front of Mai Yunmin's eyes, but after calming down a little, Mai Yunmin gave up again. After all, he had received formal military training and knew that for a relatively normal army, capturing the opposing commander was certainly a big blow, but it was not enough to kill. Besides, since he came, he had certain arrangements. Therefore, after hearing this, Mai Yunmin just said casually: "Shaer Huda, if you don't hurry up and reorganize your arms and fight, what are you doing here?" Is it preparing to surrender? ”
Sha Erhuda smiled and said: "It's not impossible to surrender, as long as your army can do one thing, I will surrender your army immediately and never break my word." "Mai Yunmin is here to surrender, what, he really came to surrender, that's really good, as for the conditions, it's nothing more than gold and silver official materials and the like, promise him yes. So, Mai Yunmin's face immediately showed affection: "Oh, Lao Sha, you're right, the so-called good day chooses the master." My lord Liang Guogong's martial arts are obvious to all, you came at the right time, say, do you want an official position or gold and silver? On the ground of this Heilongjiang River, I can promise you for the lord. ”
Sha Erhuda smiled again: "Although I, Sha Erhuda, love money, I will not be so cheap as to bargain for these things." I have only one request, that one day your army kills Dolgon, and that day I surrender unconditionally. ”
Mai Yun was angry and wanted to slap Sha Erhuda, what are you teasing me? If I could kill Dolgon, and still pull the wool with you, we would have shouted to shoot and not kill. However, he didn't turn his face immediately, but asked calmly: "Shaer Huda, I don't understand this." In any case, Dolgon is also your master, and he is not bad to you, and he is not a womanizer, and he must not have robbed your wife, so why do you hate him. ”
Hearing this, Sha Erhuda said with a straight face: "I am a blue flag Manchuria, and I have never fought with you in Tashan, not Dolgon's two white flag lineage, let alone his old Tashan department. The emperor was so kind to me that he not only promoted me repeatedly, but once I disobeyed the general's order and was beheaded according to the law, and I said that if I lived, I would be unconditionally loyal to Your Majesty, so the emperor pardoned me. Later, the emperor died, not to mention the suspicion of candlelight and axe, just said that Hauge, even if it was not, he Dolgon should also remember the kindness of the emperor and spare him from death. As a result, he not only killed Hauge, but also occupied his wife, even if there were old Manchurian customs, he was really shameless. Although I am not convinced, the soldiers and young officers are small, and they cannot control the overall situation. So, if your army can kill Dolgon, I can surrender immediately. ”
