Chapter 98: Meet Zou Yin Again
Yushutun, the small courtyard of Yue's Dart Bureau.
"Commander, Boxer Zou is here." Yue Xiaodong walked into the courtyard with a strong man and introduced.
"Fortunately, fortunately."
"Commander Yue, I finally saw your true face, haha, Zou left in a hurry last time, but he didn't thank Commander Yue for giving him a gun."
Zou Boxer, formerly known as Zou Yin, is a senior brother of the Boxers, who used to be a Boxer leader who was active around Heihetun, the Battle of Heihetun, and finally annihilated Tsarist Russia In the battle of that battalion in Heihetun City, Zou Yin led more than 100 boxers to help in the battle, that is, he met Yue Xiaodong in that battle.
However, after that battle, Zou Yin left in a hurry with his brother, and did not meet Yue Weihua, and later Yue Xiaodong mentioned Zou Yin, but the person had left, and Yue Weihua didn't take it to heart, but when he was sweeping the goods at noon today, he actually met by chance, so he asked Yue Xiaodong to invite him to meet.
Because after half a day of investigation, Yue Weihua also had a general understanding of the situation in Qihar, and the Tsarist Russian road guard team at the Fulaierji Railway Station did only have three battalions, and they were currently in a confrontation with the Qing army.
Shoushan actually wants to eliminate these road guards, because this is an internal trouble, and only by solving these road guards can Shoushan be able to use all his forces to prevent invasions from the north and northwest, but unfortunately, Shoushan has too many scruples.
One is that Shoushan's troops left in Qihar are only six battalions, although the strength has reached twice that of Tsarist Russia, but the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, Shoushan knows better than anyone, especially Tsarist Russia is still on the defensive, if it is really fought, Shoushan is worried that it may not be able to fight, if it can't be beaten, the loss of troops will not be said, the key is that the negative effect on the military spirit is too great.
Second, the Tsarist Russian road guard team coerced more than 3,000 migrant workers in the railway station, and these more than 3,000 migrant workers were originally helping Tsarist Russia build the railway, but when the Tsarist Russian war broke out, the road guard team detained these migrant workers in their territory, as a hole card that threatened Shoushan.
The third is that Shoushan himself is also in a contradiction, and he has not strengthened his determination, especially now that Kyoto is about to be breached, Shoushan knows that sooner or later there will be peace talks, Shoushan is not afraid of death, but is afraid that if he kills the three battalions of the road guard, it will cause the anger of Tsarist Russia, which will lead to the possibility of slaughtering the city, which is what Shoushan is most worried about, because in some places with fierce resistance before, Tsarist Russia has already done this kind of thing.
Of course, Shouchang's scruples, Yue Weihua didn't know, Yue Weihua only knew that he was currently in a confrontation, or that it was okay for Tsarist Russia to be surrounded by Shouchang, but if Tsarist Russia wanted to break through and leave, the Qing army couldn't stop it at all, but the Tsarist Russian road guard team was obviously fearless and had no intention of leaving.
However, although Shouchang had some scruples, he still very much wanted to get rid of the three battalions of the road guards, or at least to drive the three battalions of the road guards away, so Shouchang also actively invited the Boxer brothers to come to help.
Yue Weihua knew that there were already more than 1,000 Boxer brothers, who were responsible for the encirclement or defense of an area around the Fulaierji Railway Station, so after Yue Xiaodong mentioned that he had met Zou Yin, Yue Weihua was ready to meet to see if he could get more information, of course, it would be better if he could cooperate.
"Master Zou, I would like to forgive me for taking the liberty of inviting you." After leading Zou Yin to sit down, Yue Weihua arched his hand and said politely.
"Haha, Commander Yue is so polite, in the first battle of Heihetun, Lao Maozi killed many of Zou's brothers, if it weren't for the help of Brother Xiaodong, Zou would not have been able to avenge that revenge, besides, Brother Xiaodong also gave Zou more than 100 new guns, Zou is really grateful."
"If it weren't for the urgent summons he received from Senior Brother Nirvana at that time, Zou would have personally entered the Wolf Domain to see how Commander Yue brought out such a magical force, Zou was ashamed of himself, and it couldn't be compared at all."
"Where, Master Zou has won the prize." Yue Weihua said modestly.
"By the way, I don't know Commander Yue, what is the reason for coming here?" Zou Yin asked a little puzzled.
"Master Zou is a cheerful person, and Yue doesn't go around the bend, in fact, Yue came with a team, and the purpose is to eliminate Lao Maozi's road guard." Yue Weihua said sternly.
"Really?"
Zou Yin was a little incredulous, not to mention, how did Yue Weihua know that there was a Tsarist Russian road escort team here, but from Aihui to this near, it was a little unreasonable to travel thousands of miles to kill Lao Maozi, after all, there is Lao Maozi on the other side of the Heishui River, if you want to fight Lao Maozi, just cross a river, and you can use this thousands of miles to rush to Qihar.
Of course, Zou Yin didn't know that Yue Weihua's primary purpose here was to sweep up the goods, and the second was to kill Lao Maozi to earn some merit points, after all, Lao Maozi here was isolated and had a small number of people, mainly because he wanted to sneak attack, and he could withdraw at any time after killing.
And the old Maozi over there is not so easy to kill, it is someone's nest, and the number of people is far more than here, besides, anyway, the old Maozi will come over sooner or later, for people like Yue Weihua who can predict some future historical trends, defense must be much less labor-saving than attack, after all, you can dig a pit in advance.
The key is that Yue Weihua has taken a fancy to the freight train at the Fulaierji Railway Station, as well as the railroad tracks here, as long as Lao Maozi is killed, Yue Weihua can rest assured that he can pick up the railroad tracks, of course, it is impossible for these Yue Weihua to say to Zou Yin, as for whether he doubts it or not, it doesn't matter.
"Of course it's true, I led three hundred brothers this time, and I also brought a lot of cannons, if I can get the help of Master Zou and we can cooperate, I think there should be no problem." Yue Weihua smiled lightly.
If others said that with 300 people, they would dare to attack Lao Maozi's three battalions, Zou Yin would definitely say that he was crazy, but Yue Weihua said this, Zou Yin did not doubt it at all, in the battle of Heihetun, although Zou Yin did not see all the battles, but he knew the results of the battle, and also accompanied the annihilation of a battalion of Tsarist Russia, and the victory in that battle was so relaxed, just like the smile on Yue Weihua's face now.
"If Commander Yue really has this plan, Zou is willing to help Commander Yue." Zou Yin said solemnly, no matter what aspect it is, as long as Yue Weihua really has this heart, Zou Yin will definitely go all out to help.
"Very good, come, Master Zou come here, this is some of the information that our soldiers have detected, you can see if you can improve it."
Yue Weihua took out a sketch, the center of the sketch is the Fulaierji Railway Station, which initially marked the stationing of the three battalions of Tsarist Russia, as well as the location of the more than 3,000 migrant workers, and of course, the distribution of the Qing army and the Boxers.
I have to say that Zhou Dabiao's ability is still very strong, and in just half a day, he made such a detailed map of the terrain and the distribution of troops, of course, this map is not all drawn by hand, but through the high-priced bribery of several Qing army generals plus the collective investigation results of the special combat team, and finally summed up.
"Commander Yue, your troop distribution map is detailed enough, it is clearer than Zou."
"Where, where."
"Well, Commander Yue, this is indeed the position of our Boxer brothers, this small section is the place I am responsible for, if Commander Yue wants to bring people into the territory of Tsarist Russia, he can enter directly from my side, there will be absolutely no problem, however, I think attacking from my side is not the best choice, because my position is low,......。"
"Master Zou really has a heart."
……
"However, the difficult thing is how to rescue these more than 3,000 migrant workers first, otherwise, once they are coerced by Tsarist Russia, trouble will be fought."
……
"Okay, that's it."
"By the way, Commander Yue, do you need us to inform the Qing army, if they know that someone wants to do it, I think they will definitely be interested."
"Forget it, these things that are not enough to succeed and more than to fail, let's let them be spectators, and save us trouble."
"Haha, that's right, then it's decided, Zou will leave first."
"Master Zou, go slowly."
After sending Zou Yin away, Yue Xiaodong asked, "Commander, are you still going to sweep the goods?" ”
"No, the materials purchased in more than half a day today are already worth the harvest in Morgan City yesterday." Yue Weihua smiled.
Indeed, Qihar is the provincial capital after all, whether it is a grain merchant or other businessmen, it is obviously much more atmospheric than Morgen, Yue Weihua only talked about three grain merchants, and purchased 60,000 quintals of grain, cloth, cotton clothes, ready-to-wear, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and the procurement of these things is also much easier.
Of course, in order not to attract attention, Yue Weihua is relatively low-key, and the horse trading market, just went to see, did not buy, of course, talked about a few companies, and paid some deposits, but there was no delivery for the time being.
"It's okay to come out for a trip, buy more if you can, I always feel that once I start it again with Lao Maozi, I'm afraid it will be a hard battle, and it may be a protracted war." Yue Xiaodong said a little heavily.
Yue Xiaodong was able to come to this judgment, which made Yue Weihua feel a little surprised, I have to say that some people may be born for the battlefield, Yue Xiaodong's growth is very fast, especially in controlling those green forests, Yue Weihua thinks that even if he does it himself, he may not be able to do better.
"Xiaodong, you're right, that's why I insisted on going out." Yue Weihua said that Yue Xiang and Yue Hai were both against this trip, but only Yue Xiaodong chose to support it.
"That being the case, let's go shopping again, hehe, don't say, it's really cool to throw a lot of money around in the past two days." Yue Xiaodong laughed.
"Haha, that's right, after two days I'm stupid and I have a lot of money, but the materials purchased this time, especially the food, are enough to feed 40,000 people for two years, and there may be action tonight, I think, it's better to call back all the brothers of your cavalry company."
"Okay."
"Well, but whether to act or not, we will wait for Zhou Dabiao and them to come back."
