Chapter 778: Barbarians, Devils, and Maozi (6)
Gao Rong was stunned, he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him who had been with him for more than a year, as if he was unfamiliar in an instant, he said stupidly: "Olega, what do you mean by this, I am your husband." Have you forgotten? The first time I saw you, I couldn't give up for a few days, and when I learned that you were willing to marry me, I cried happily for a day. After marrying you, in order to make you happy, I changed my taste, followed you to learn the diet of your hometown, and I made bread and pickled cucumbers for you by myself, have you forgotten all this! At the end of speaking, Gao Rong's tone was already as poignant as a ghost, almost hysterical.
Olega was unmoved, she was still as cold as ice, looking at the hysterical Gao Rong, but she turned to Mai Yunmin and said, "General Mai, since I have been arrested by you, I must say the same thing." I'll tell you the truth, I'm the daughter of a viscount, and from birth I've been either a gift, a spy, or both. I myself have a lover, that is, Count Bilchin in Yakutsk, if it weren't for this, I would have been a countess. So... As he spoke, Olega pointed at Gao Rou: "I hate him, it was he who ruined my Countess's dream, it was he who made me live a pretending life for a year, it was he who made me live a life of pretense, it was he who made me and the person I loved, and now he wants to touch me with his dirty hands, and he pretends to want to protect me, get out!" I don't need such mercy. ”
Everyone who said something was angry, they really couldn't imagine that there was such a ruthless woman in the world, with a big temper, they couldn't help but touch their waists, as long as Mai Yunmin gave an order, they would abolish this woman. Mai Yunmin ignored Olega, he walked to Gao Rou's side, looked at Gao Rong, who was almost stupid, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Brother, I don't need to be a chief now, I use my brother's identity to persuade you, forget about this woman, although you are at fault, but you don't know it, so the punishment is just to deprive yourself of your position and start over, I can recommend you to go to school to study again, and you can still work under me again after graduation, do you think it's okay?"
Gao Rong seemed to hear it, but he didn't seem to hear it, and he left the camp with a blank look, because his state was so pitiful, so no one stopped him, so he let him leave like this. But not long after, suddenly a gunshot rang out outside, and then a few soldiers hurriedly ran outside, reporting to Mai Yunmin that Gao Rou had shot herself. Mai Yunmin was shocked when he heard this, but what he didn't expect was that knowing Olega at this time, he reversed his previous cold attitude, and pounced on Gao Rong like crazy, hugging his corpse and crying, without any attitude of rejection. While crying, she choked up and said: "How can I forget your goodness, although the men of our Rakshasa Kingdom can be obedient to women before marriage, but who still treats us women as lovers after marriage, they let us do laundry and cooking." It's just you, married and still so good to me, combing my hair and dressing up, pickling cucumbers and making bread for me, this is something that many women can't dream of, and you did it... ”
At this time, Mai Yunmin couldn't stand it anymore, he didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and kicked Olega away, Olejia struggled and wanted to pounce on Gao Rong, but he was kicked again, she was already covered with tears at this time, she looked at Mai Yunmin, and begged: "General Mai, I beg you, kill me, I don't want anything, I just want to be buried with him, please." ”
Mai Yunmin said coldly: "Olega, you still have the face to come with me." Let me ask you, you know the warmth of your family and the preciousness of your lover, but have you ever thought about it, just because of your piece of information, how many people in Jiangbei have died of unintentional family ruin? Don't they have a family and a lover? Won't they grieve and not be in pain? And Gao Rong, he was also raised by his mother's biological father, he committed suicide because you couldn't think about it, have you thought about the pain of their parents? Orega, I tell you, it's not that I'm ruthless, it's that you don't forgive you. After speaking, Mai Yunmin ordered: "Come on, pull this Rakshasa woman out and hack it to death!" The carcasses were thrown into the wild to feed the wolves. Send Gao Rong's body back to Nanzhong and bury it properly. Also, the Military Administration Department recorded that the Gao Rong battalion officer was unfortunately shot and killed in the battle with the Rakshasas! Take the example of the death of an officer, ask for a bereavement for him! ”
Then, Mai Yunmin said to Olega: "Now you can rest assured, even if your souls want to meet in the future, you will have to cross thousands of rivers and mountains, and this has to say that you have a good memory and will not get lost." Hearing this, Olega cursed and cursed Mai Yunmin with all his strength, Mai Yunmin didn't want to listen, and waved his hand to let the soldiers take Olega away, and soon, there was a row of gunshots, and everything was quiet. To be honest, dealing with this matter made Mai Yunmin feel uncomfortable, and he was not a person without compassion, but thinking that this woman had caused so much harm, he really couldn't convince himself to forgive her. He is not like some virgins in later generations, even if he is wheeled with rice, he has to be hard-mouthed, he is just an ordinary person who is happy and hateful, and he talks about clear grievances and grievances. But even so, he was depressed for several days, until a few days later, a good news suddenly came, the 6th Battalion of the 2nd Brigade of the Nanzhong Engineering Brigade came to support on the order of Lu Mahong.
This was a big surprise to Mak Yunmin. The Heilongjiang River is vast, with intertwined rivers and dense swamps and forests, but the road conditions are not flattering. In winter, the snow falls, and it is white as far as the eye can see, and after the beginning of spring, the ice and snow melt, but the road is muddy and difficult to walk. In order to be able to quickly transport supplies to the places where they are needed, although he has already prepared an official document asking the lord to send engineers to support, according to the time and procedures on the road, he has probably just arrived from the barracks to the office at this time. Even if the lord immediately signed and approved the submission after receiving the submission, and the engineer immediately dispatched personnel, it was not so fast?
But anyway, since people are here, they naturally have to greet them. So he immediately led people to ride their horses to the dock, but as soon as he arrived at the dock, he saw that the open space of the dock had already been lined up neatly, these people were wearing green military uniforms, some were carrying shovels, some were carrying pickaxes, but no matter what they took, they were neat and tidy, and their morale was high. Seeing that Mai Yunmin was coming, someone shouted to stand upright, and then these people immediately stood up and adjusted the queue until it was as straight as a line. Then someone shouted, "Ready, sing."
With an order, this team of soldiers sang neatly: "Our engineering soldiers have a good reputation in the world, hot-blooded men are all hard steel, wear helmets like tigers, wear military uniforms like dragons, shovels and pickaxes are comrades-in-arms, wind, snow, rain and frost accompany me, step through mountains and rivers for thousands of miles, and the sun, moon, thunder and fire cast heroes... ”
If it weren't for the fact that it has been in the Nanyue Army for a long time, Mai Yunmin himself would not have thought that others would build roads and bridges, at most they would get some craftsmen and then recruit or catch some people in the four townships, only Li Shouhan's subordinates, who have been splitting mountains and building roads from south to north over the years, and building bridges when encountering water, gradually turning the original relatively fixed construction team into an armed force. Moreover, in the view of Mai Yunmin and others, the engineering soldiers under the main account have never been a rabble that will disperse in a hurry without encountering the enemy, but a hundred battles that can fight, carry and endure hardships. Although they did not charge on the battlefield, they achieved achievements that the Guards Brigade did not dare to compare. This team has built new straight roads throughout the south, central and Guangzhou, and also participated in the construction of river dredging wharves in various parts of the two Guangzhou, turning the moats that cut off the traffic from the north and south into thoroughfares, which can be described as great achievements.
After the greetings, Mai Yunmin asked the sixth battalion commander: "I said Lao He, you are immortals, why do I need you, you are like wings, you will fly here immediately?" ”
As a result, Battalion Commander He shook his head and said, "General Mai, it's not like we can pinch and calculate this matter, it's just a coincidence." First of all, I will tell you a good thing, Shandong has just won a big victory. Abatai wanted to incite Diao people to make trouble, but was jointly suppressed by the student officials of the Qin Law School and the Tuntian soldiers of the lord's farm, and then Mrs. Li and Wu Xing Xie Qian joined forces to fight with Zhang Linghu and Wu Fengxian against Yu Gaomi, defeated them, and took advantage of the situation to capture Weifang. In this way, Ludong and Luxi have become one, and now the Qing army only has one city left in Dengzhou, and it is pressed and beaten by our sailors and gunboats, which is already at the end of the road! Mrs. Li is preparing to join forces with the eldest lady to conquer the last fortress of the Qing army in Ludong. Therefore, we were originally going to Ludong to participate in the restoration and construction of the farm, but as soon as we arrived at the place, we met the messenger you sent to the lord, and after learning that you were going to ask engineers to be sent to support, Mrs. Li said that the construction of Ludong was not in a hurry, so let us come to support you first, saying that your business is more important than Shandong's affairs. No, I'm here with my brothers! ”
Mai Yunmin almost jumped up after hearing the music, he slapped He Yong's shoulder and said, "Lao He, you are simply the timely rain sent by God!" Okay, okay, what are you doing with me still playing this trick, I don't know the strength of your engineering troops. The tiger and dragon are far worse than you, no matter how powerful the tiger is, dare to move mountains? No matter how powerful the dragon is, will he dare to divert the river? You dare anything. I didn't mean to dig into the corner, you see if this is good, when you soldiers are about to retire, give me a group of people, I promise to arrange a good place for them to eat and drink spicy food and make money in Jiangbei, and those who are willing to buy shares, I will talk to the shopkeeper of Longsheng, you can count the shares without spending money, what do you think? ”
He Yong smiled and quipped: "You dare to ask for our burdens?" Haven't you heard, some officials in Nanzhong said that it was too much trouble to arrange for the demobilization of our engineering troops, and not only did they have to pay a lot of money for discharge, but they also had to arrange errands, and these people were about to talk to the lord and say that it would be better for the lord to reduce the number of engineer troops, and it would be better to cancel the entire structure of our engineer corps. If they do, and your brother wants to find us in the future, I'm afraid it won't be so easy? ”
"These bunch of dogs who forgot Ben! What do they want to do?! Mai Yunmin couldn't help but change color.
"Hey! Isn't it all about money?! The brothers of our engineering battalion work fast and well, and they spend less money, who let the Lord spend military salaries and rations to support us on fair days! After being discharged from the army, there will be various treatments to follow! They are clamoring to dismantle us, and this time, all the civil engineering projects everywhere are their cash cows, and second, our brothers have become the cash cows they have in their hands! ”
Mai Yunmin took a sip when he heard this: "Bah, those bastards, just know that they are trouble-free, and they don't want to think about who got their tickets and girls' houses." Don't pay attention to them, our lord is the Holy Lord Mingjun, and you can still listen to their blind comparisons. Let me tell you this, Lao He, even if our lord is a faint king, you can rest assured, no one wants you, I want it! Come to me, the fertile land is as you choose, and the beautiful girls are as you choose! ”
The two of them laughed, and after laughing, He Yong and Mai Yunmin left the dock hand in hand and rode to the garrison staff. After arriving at the General Staff, Mai Yunmin said slightly apologetically: "Lao He, it stands to reason that you just came, and we should take you to pick up the wind and wash the dust, but now that the military situation is urgent, I can't take care of these things." After speaking, Mai Yunmin pointed to the map: "At present, we are in the Songhua River basin, and the original plan was to rely on the dock fortress of the Songhua River to go south and attack the Liaodong anti-thieves. Now the Rakshasas occupy Yaksa in the north of the river, and they have hoarded all the looted women's belongings there, intending to hold on for a long time. At the same time, they also sent envoys under the pretense of being enemies of us, saying that they had no intention of making enemies of us, but only hoped that we would hand over the business of Jiangbei fur to them, and they were willing to pay tribute to us. If we agreed, saying that we were going to give us a batch of fur gold and silver as a gift every year, I don't know if you have any intentions? ”
Although he knew that Mai Yunmin was deliberately joking, He Yong still slapped the table angrily: "Dog's day, it's the other way they got?" What do they treat us for, and if we give us some benefits, we will betray the country to seek glory? Blind to their dog eyes, Lao Tzu is not a bastard who forgets his ancestors. After scolding for a while, He Yongcai pointed to the map and said: "General Mai, I have read the map countless times before I came, so I already know the plan, so I will ask you a question, do you want to take the dirty money of the Rakshasa people, or do you want to kill the Rakshasa people?" ”
Mai Yunmin's eyes stood up when he heard this: "This is fucking something else, of course I want to kill them all." But Lao He, it's hard to say things, Yaksa is also the closest stronghold to us, and although it's still early autumn, it's not easy to go up the river to reach Yaksa, and even if we get it, take it, people run, and when it comes to the freezing season, we have to catch blind. Therefore, we must build enough wharves and warehouses along the river, and preferably some more roads and waterways, so that nothing goes wrong. ”
He Yong smiled and said, "Lao Mai, just wait for your words." What I mean is this, first, we will build a forward fortress by waterway, and then we will build a road along the river, and at the same time we will build several auxiliary roads for transporting timber and stone and other materials. However, I feel that these auxiliary roads will definitely not be peaceful, the surrounding tribes are unknown, and according to the situation in Jiangbei, it is very likely that they will support the Rakshasas. Therefore, it is entirely possible that they will send people to attack our engineering team. If we want to fight, we are not afraid, we can distribute firearms, and it is not a problem to beat these people, but the so-called unbearable, if we are harassed by them all the time, the progress of the project will definitely be delayed. Therefore, I would like to ask your brother one thing: Can you select some people from among your brothers who are proficient in equestrian skills and who are best familiar with mountain and forest warfare to form a small detachment of 30 to 50 people, and carry out sweeping operations before us, so that our engineering team will have sufficient security and the progress of the project will be very fast. When the time comes, when our highway is almost finished, we will jump to the end of the road, build another wharf along the river, and so on, and it won't be long before we will have a number of solid fortresses along the riverbank, and we can attack the Rakshasa people, and if we can't beat them, we can defend them. Even if you are a rice bucket and retreat, we will lose a few forts at most, and when the next spring comes, we will fight back and be done. "You are the rice bucket, and your whole family is a rice bucket." Mai Yunmin was angry and went back at that time, although he knew that He Yong was joking, but this was too harsh. He Yong smiled, obviously he was deliberately angry with Mai Yunmin. Mai Yunmin scolded a few more words before he finished, but when he turned his head and thought about it, he immediately had an idea: "Lao He, don't underestimate me, I really have such a team." There were about 300 people, all of them equestrian masters, who climbed trees like apes and descended like otters, and were familiar with the language of the tribes in the northern part of the river, and even knew the names of their chiefs. I don't know if such a person can be used. ”
He Yong was slightly stunned, and said with a face full of disbelief in an instant: "Don't brag, if you want to say that your subordinates can beat me to believe it, but if you are familiar with the language and situation of the equestrian and even the Jiangbei tribes, I really don't dare to believe it." ”
Mai Yunmin smiled slightly, and then said to the herald, "Go and invite Bahai over." It didn't take long for the herald to walk into the big tent with a proud and heroic young man, but He Yong almost drew his knife at first glance, and said in his heart that this was not a thief in Liaodong?
Mai Yunmin introduced disappreciatively: "Lao He, this is Bahai, the son of Shaer Huda. His father was also dissatisfied with the Rakshasa people, so he temporarily joined forces with us, and in order to show his sincerity, let his son bring 300 elites to serve in the army. Originally, I was worried, I will give these 300 people the task of frontal combat, I am afraid that they will make a mistake, sorry for my friends, if I don't give the task, I am sorry for my friends. Now, I'll hand over General Bahai to you, his 300 people, when they arrive in Jiangbei, that is, Jiaolong enters the sea. How about it, with Bahai cooperating with you, what are you afraid of? ”
