Although the intelligence system has been fully rolled out in Aihui, Yue Weihua is confident that he will monitor every move of Tsarist Russia, after all, the cognition of intelligence in this era is basically still in the primitive stage, but even so Yue Weihua cannot be sure how long it will take for Tsarist Russia to attack, unless, the intelligence system of the Black Dragon Army has entered St. Petersburg.

Of course, a group of intelligence groups had already entered the hinterland of Tsarist Russia, entered the area around the small town of Alekrovsk, and even 30 kilometers up and down the Heishui River, there were intelligence officers with telegraph machines stationed on a permanent basis, so it was still certain that they could do it if they discovered Tsarist Russia's actions a day or two in advance, and this was the reason why Yue Weihua dared to travel far away.

However, Yue Weihua still didn't plan to waste time on the way, so Yue Weihua decided that these "masters" who were responsible for lobbying would be left directly along the way, and let them talk slowly.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, Yue Weihua and his entourage boarded the war horse on time and started another two-hour ride, because Nie Sifeng entered the territory of Banshan Tiger in advance, so when he passed by Banshan Tiger's territory, he did not delay time, but directly passed through Banshan Tiger's territory.

Of course, if you want to come and go like the wind on Aihui's own territory, it is definitely impossible, after all, there are many bearded gangs along the way, and there will always be people who don't have long eyes, but this kind of people who don't have long eyes basically can't see the sun tomorrow.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Yue Weihua and his party finally crossed the boundary of Collor Town and entered a boundary called Xigang on the outskirts of Morgan City, Xigang is the only way to go from Aihui to Morgan City, and this is a steep mountain, and what is more troublesome is that this is also the location of a group of extremely powerful bearded old nests.

"Commander, Xigang's beard is not very easy to speak, I don't know what you plan to do?" Yue Xiaodong rode with Yue Weihua and asked.

Just along the way, Yue Weihua also heard Yue Xiaodong give a detailed introduction to Xigang's beard situation, these beards have a large number of people, known as more than 1,000 guns, of course, in fact, there should be none, but Yue Xiaodong estimates that there should be seven or eight hundred, and these people are all ruthless, no matter who has beaten Xigang, either stay to buy road money, or leave their lives, of course, leave women.

Although Yue's dart game is quite famous, but every time he passes by Xigang, he also has to pay money, which makes Yue Xiaodong hold his breath, but he can't hold his breath, not to mention Yue's dart game, people even dare to deduct the aunt and wife of Guo Erduo, the deputy capital of Morgen, and as a result, Guo Erduo can only send money to ransom people, since that time, Xigang's beard is even more prosperous.

"Hmph, it's just a bunch of clowns jumping off the beam." Yue Weihua sneered, and then smiled again: "But they occupy the mountain on the outskirts of Murgen, they must be very rich, and when we pull it out on the way back, maybe we can make a small fortune in Heilongjiang." ”

"Haha, the commander said it well, but Xigang's beard is indeed rich, there is no doubt about this, if we successfully take Xigang, I estimate that the captured booty will definitely not be less than that of Su Ma's family." Yue Xiaodong said with a smile.

"Oh, so rich?"

Yue Weihua was obviously a little incredulous, after all, the Su Ma family was a landlord and a soil overlord, with 10,000 acres of fertile land under his name, gold and silver and silver tickets, with a total value of more than one million taels of silver, as well as nearly 10,000 loads of grain, hundreds of war horses, etc., and this was accumulated for several generations.

"Hehe, commander, gold and silver aside, if we can really take Xigang, then we don't have to buy horses." Yue Xiaodong smiled.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

Yue Weihua was also interested when he heard it, and buying horses on this trip was also one of the key points, Yue Weihua hoped to let the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army have a war horse, if it can really be done, the combat effectiveness of the Black Dragon Army will undoubtedly be improved to a higher level.

And so far, the extermination of the Wolf Tooth Hall, Su Majia, as well as the Battle of Heihetun, and the trip to Aledrovsk, the collection of the war horses brought by the beards, as well as some of the war horses purchased, have made the number of war horses owned by the Black Dragon Army close to two thousand, which is already a very enviable number.

However, the Black Dragon Army now has nearly 5,000 soldiers, if you want to have one horse per person, the shortage is not small, but Yue Xiaodong said that if he feels Xigang's beard, he doesn't need to buy a horse, how can this not make Yue Weihua's interest increase greatly.

"Commander, we all know that there are many horse farms around Murgen City, and there is also a large horse trading market, and Xigang Beard not only has their own horse farm, but also has their share of the horse trading market, and their stock of war horses will definitely not be less than two thousand." Yue Xiaodong said.

"Xigang has such a strong beard, what is the origin?" Yue Weihua wondered.

Yue Xiaodong shook his head and said: "No one really knows about this, it is said that many of Xigang's beards have not seen their masters, and there are also some rumors that Xigang's beard was actually made by Guo Erduo, the deputy capital of Morgen, and the purpose is just to make money." ”

"Oh, then you just said that Xigang's beard robbed his aunt's wife, is it a show?" Yue Weihua asked rhetorically.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, so when we return to the road, if we really plan to take Xigang, then we must guard against the officers and soldiers of Morgan City." Yue Xiaodong said bluntly.

"Hey, the Qing Dynasty is really rotten from the roots." Yue Weihua sighed.

At this moment, Yue Weihua basically decided that Xigang's beard was the product of the collusion of officials and bandits, and this didn't even need a reason, just intuition was enough.

"Commander, are we going to pay for the road in a while?" Yue Xiaodong asked again.

"Well, let's hand it over first, leave a few familiar brothers, explore the bottom of Xigang's beard, find out the situation, and when we go back, we will serve his mother in a pot." Yue Weihua said ruthlessly.

"Yes, Commander."

"By the way, find a place to change your outfit."

Along the way, Yue Weihua put out the new fashion of the Black Dragon Army, so they were all dressed in standard clothes, and even went to the realm of some beards, and deliberately took out the Thompson submachine gun and Browning light machine gun, so that everyone could put on their backs, so that the beards along the way could take a look and see the strength of the Black Dragon Army.

However, this place is only more than ten kilometers away from Morgan City, in order to save unnecessary trouble, Yue Weihua is ready to change back into ordinary clothes, and of course, he has to put the cut braids back on.

After paying 1,000 taels of silver, Yue Weihua and his entourage successfully passed through Xigang, and when it was dark, they came to a small manor outside the city of Morgan.

"Commander Yue."

"Commander Yue."

As soon as Yue Weihua got off the horse, several people walked out of the courtyard, led by Ling Hui, the head of the Ling family among the Chinese who came back from Aledrovsk, Ling Hui and the others set off two days ago, and came to purchase in advance on Yue Weihua's order.

For more than ten hours, running for more than 300 miles, it is indeed strange and tiring, even Yue Weihua's iron-like body is a little unbearable, not to mention other people, fortunately, there is a small bathhouse in the manor, and the hot water has been prepared, so the group took turns to go in the bath, Yue Weihua was of course the first.

After Yue Weihua took a bath, he felt a lot more comfortable, and had a hasty meal, and then he talked to Ling Hui in detail, Ling Hui had opened a grain store in the small town of Aledrovsk before, and he was naturally clear about the trade of grain, so it only took one day to find out about the grain stores in Murgen City.

"Commander, the grain reserves in this Morgan City are still very rich, thousands of loads of grain, if it is divided into a dozen or so grain stores to procure, it should not be a big problem, but if you want to purchase more, I am afraid there will be some trouble." Ling Hui said bluntly.

It is true that Morgen is a grain producing area, and it is also true that there is no shortage of grain, and the price is much cheaper than Aihui, which is also a fact, thousands of loads of grain, and it may not be a matter to purchase them separately, but Yue Weihua's order to Ling Hui is that there are as many as they want, and this degree is a little difficult to grasp.

"What's the trouble?" Yue Weihua asked.

"One is that the grain stores will definitely communicate with each other, and once they know that we are buying aggressively, they will definitely increase the price." Ling Hui said.

"The price doesn't matter, let's talk about the second point." Yue Weihua said.

The problem that money can solve, then it is not a problem, this is a clear statement that Yue Weihua has recognized for both lives, of course, the premise is that he has money in his hands, it is obvious that Yue Weihua is really rich, at least the money to raise the thousands of people in the Black Dragon Army is still very generous.

"Second, the government may interfere, after all, the government has the responsibility to stabilize prices." Ling Hui said bluntly.

"Hehe, Mr. Ling, it seems that you have been away from Huaxia for a long time, the current Qing Dynasty, not to mention this city, even if it is the mainland, it is estimated that few officials will care about the price issue, this can be assured, of course, if there is really an official to ask, then you can be ready to pay some silver and filial piety." Yue Weihua smiled.

When Yue Weihua said this, Ling Hui was not too surprised, but the next words made Yue Weihua a little embarrassed.

"Commander, although Morgan is a grain production base, if you buy tens of thousands of loads of grain at one time, I am afraid that the price of grain in Morgan City will skyrocket, and even if you have money and no grain to buy, and there is still a month or two before the autumn harvest, so it is foreseeable that the people of Morgan City will have a hard time."

Yue Weihua thought for a moment, and then said: "The purchase of a large amount of grain will indeed cause grain prices to rise wildly in the short term, but the geographical location of Morgan City is excellent, and it is not far from the production bases such as Nehe, Fufu, and Yi'an, although the people will suffer a little damage, they should be able to carry it." ”

"Besides, even if we don't procure, once Lao Maozi fights, I'm afraid that these grains will be directly confiscated by Lao Maozi and turned into their military food, and the people will also suffer."

"So, just buy it."

"Yes, Commander."
