Chapter 97: Shoushan

The frenzied sweeping of the market in Morgan City brought a huge turmoil and sequelae, but as the initiator of this incident, Yue Weihua left Morgan City that night and chose to take the team all the way south to the second stop of the trip, Qihar, the capital of Blackwater Province.

Although it only took a day to sweep the goods, Yue Weihua was quite satisfied.

More than 50,000 quintals of grain, (each quintal is calculated as a hundred catties), that is, more than 5,000 tons of grain, of course, the grain here includes rice, noodles, soybeans, etc., anyway, they are all food that can satisfy hunger, according to Yue Weihua's calculation before, 5,000 tons of grain, enough for 20,000 people to eat for 500 days, even if it is 40,000 people, it is enough to eat for eight or nine months, which is considered to solve the food supply problem of the Black Dragon Army.

In addition to food, Yue Weihuashang purchased thousands of cloths, quilts, more than 1,000 sets of ready-to-wear clothes, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, all of which were swept away from store by store, and they were all packed into the merit pagoda in tonnage units.

In addition, nearly 10,000 cattle and sheep pigs and other livestock were slaughtered, of course, these animals were just slaughtered, and they were not cleaned up too much, not that people who sold them were unwilling to help clean up, but the time was too tight, and within one day, nearly 10,000 animals could be killed, which invited a lot of people to help, but it doesn't matter, anyway, it is stored in the space of the merit tower, and nothing will rot and deteriorate.

As for the horses, they also bought more than a thousand horses, but Yue Weihua didn't want to buy more, but these horse dealers were all cunning like ghosts, seeing that Yue Weihua and his party were so generous, they quickly raised the price, and it quickly attracted the attention of the government, so Yue Weihua had to let his subordinates temporarily stop.

Anyway, this procurement task is basically completed, and if the horses are bought too much, they can't be rushed back to the wolf domain for the time being, and they can only be temporarily stored outside of Morgan City.

That night, in addition to the group of intelligence officers who were in charge of the intelligence around the city of Morgan, about 300 people, chose the war horses they bought today, and then set off for Qihar again with three men and three horses.

Qihar, the capital of Heishui Province and the location of the General's Mansion of Heishui Province, is about 240 kilometers away from Morgan City, separated by the Nehe River and Fu County, but although the road is much farther, the official road is much easier than that from Aihui to Morgan City.

One person and three horses, set off overnight, fortunately, the moon and stars are scarce, and it does not affect the rush on the flat official road, so in addition to feeding the horses in the middle, basically did not stop, from dusk, until the next day, it took more than 11 hours, and the group arrived at the outskirts of Qihar City.

Yushutun, located two miles away from the north gate of Qihar, here gather from the north, failed to catch up with the time of entering the city of the past merchants, Yue's dart bureau also often comes to this line, and the suburbs outside the city of Mergen, there is also its own small courtyard in Yushutun.

Fang Wenke, along with several shopkeepers, as well as dozens of young and strong men, all set off from the Wolf Domain with Ling Hui and them, but Ling Hui was responsible for staying in Morgan City, while Fang Wenke and the others were in charge of Qihar.

However, although Fang Wenke and the others came out of the wolf domain more than two days earlier than Yue Weihua and them, they only arrived one night earlier than Yue Weihua, fortunately, these merchants are also used to going south and north, otherwise running for nearly 500 kilometers in a row is indeed enough for them, after all, even Yue Weihua and his party feel unbearable.

"Commander Yue, Fang Mou is really ashamed, Fang Mou and his party only arrived here at six o'clock last night, and they haven't had time to enter the city yet." Fang Wenke arched his hand and said helplessly.

"Where, where is it, the shopkeeper Fang just joined my Black Dragon Army, and let you run for nearly a thousand miles overnight, Yue Mou was a little unhappy, but the Black Dragon Army was just established, and there were too few credible people available, so I could only work hard Mr. Fang." Yue Weihua said sincerely.

Chinese people like Ling Hui and Fang Wenke all joined the Black Dragon Army with their families, and the young and strong people in their families either joined the army, or entered the General Staff, Logistics Department, and even the Intelligence Department, after all, these Chinese people have knowledge that ordinary Chinese people do not have, and the literacy rate is also higher, plus the family moved in, there is no doubt about the sincerity and reliability, because they are already tied to the Black Dragon Army.

Therefore, most of the shopkeepers have been dispatched in advance, not only will there be their shadows in Morgan City and Qihar, but even some shopkeepers need to follow the intelligence team to the mainland for development, so that they can work with the intelligence team to better serve the Black Dragon Army.

After the group talked for a while, Yue Weihua beckoned the two young people over and introduced Fang Wenke: "Mr. Fang, this young man's name is Wu Lei, this is Fang Zhongxin, and I hope you will cooperate more in the future." ”

Wu Lei, a special combat member, is now the leader of the Qihar intelligence team, and used to be a dart master of the Yue's Dart Bureau, and his hometown is Qihar.

Fang Zhongxin, a special combat member, is the deputy leader of the Qihar intelligence team, and is from the second station regiment, and his family also has relatives in Qihar, so he sent the two to Qihar to be responsible for intelligence collection.

"Hello, Mr. Fang."

"Hello, Mr. Fang."

Fang Wenke is the cousin of Lu Dabao, the leader of the special combat team, so most of the members of the special combat team will give some face, either called Mr. Fang or Uncle Fang.

"Hehe, hello, in the future, Fang will definitely cooperate with the two of you." Fang Wenke said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, Yue Xiaodong and Zhou Dabiao also settled everyone down, Yue Weihua also hastily ate something, and then fell asleep, this two consecutive days of running, it was really too tiring, almost everyone was lying down and snoring, Yue Weihua was no exception.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, all the soldiers of the Black Dragon Army got up, Fang Wenke had already ordered someone to prepare a sumptuous breakfast, and Yue Weihua arranged tasks while eating.

"Zhou Dabiao, lead the special combat team members to the Fulaierji Railway Station, give me the situation of Lao Maozi, and feel the situation well, we must strive to act tonight."

"The brothers of the cavalry company, there are still groups of ten people, and Mr. Fang will assign a shopkeeper or man to each of your groups to go to Qihar City to purchase, you should have experience yesterday, if you have any extra words, I won't say more."

As the provincial capital of Heishui Province for more than 200 years and the location of the Heishuihe General's Mansion, Qihar is famous for being a key place of "the key point of the four reaches and the capital of all cities".

Qihar is located in the northeast Songnen Plain, whether it is food reserves, or other aspects, are far from being comparable to Mergen City, of course, Murgen City is much stronger than Aihui, after all, Aihui is a real border city, the other side is Tsarist Russia, and Mergen City is still hundreds of miles away from the border, and there is a ******** sub-capital area in the middle, regardless of population or prosperity, it is no longer a level, of course, Murgen City is not at the same level as Qiharbi......

However, after running for nearly five hundred miles overnight, Yue Weihua's main purpose was not to procure, after all, the materials purchased in Morgan City were enough for the Black Dragon Army to support 40,000 people for eight or nine months, so procurement was only a matter of incident.

The main purpose of this trip is to come for Lao Maozi.

Since the eighties of the nineteenth century, successive Tsars of Russia have made the annexation of the Northeast region his established national policy, and since the eighties of the nineteenth century, he has been planning to build a railway through the northeastern region of China, connecting their Far Eastern town of Vladivostok (Vladivostok, in fact, also in China) with the eastern end of the Trans-Siberian Railway in their country.

Tsarist Russia used various means to promote the construction of this railway, and finally achieved the goal in 1896, and broke ground in August 1898, with the ice city as the center, divided into east, west and south three lines, by six at the same time began to face the construction, this road is the famous Daqing East Province Railway, also known as the China East Province Railway, referred to as the East Qing Railway.

In order to speed up the construction, Lao Maozi sent a large number of railway employees into the three eastern provinces of our country, and hired more than 200,000 Chinese migrant workers from Shandong, Zhili and other places, divided into 19 work areas, and began to build railways on the whole line.

By April 1900, more than 1,000 kilometers of roadbed and most of the track-laying projects of the Dongqing Railway had been completed, and Tsarist Russia could transport soldiers and materials through this railway at any time.

In the Qihar section, along the Fulaierji Railway Station, there are three battalions of more than 1,500 road escorts, and the purpose of Yue Weihua's trip is to eat these old hairs.

Of course, these are just some things that Yue Weihua deduced through the memories of his previous life, and the specific situation needs to be found out by Zhou Dabiao and others.

Entering Qihar City, Yue Weihua couldn't help but think of the fate of this famous city in history.

Historically, the Russian army that broke through Qihar was also the Russian army from Aihui's northern route, which broke Aihui on August 4 and burned it, and broke the city of Mergen on the 18th, looted it, and then burned to ashes, and the day of Qihar's city was August 28.

When it comes to the breaking of Qihar, I have to mention one person, that is, the current general Shoushan of Heishui Province, Shoushan's full name is Yuan Shoushan, Zimeifeng, the white flag of the Han Army, a native of Aihui Town, Heishui Province, and his father Fuming A is the seventh grandson of Yuan Chonghuan, the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's military department.

The three generals of the three eastern provinces, Jilin General Changshun and Shengjing General Zengqi, were all the main peace, gave up resistance, and only Shouchang asked to actively prepare for war, and asked the imperial court to appoint Aihui deputy capital Fengxiang, ******** deputy capital Yixing'a, and Tongken deputy capital Qingqi as the northern, western, and eastern three road wings, respectively, commanding the three ways of battle and defense.

In the end, Yang Fengxiang, the wing commander of the North Road, was the first to die, and the North Road army went all the way south, first destroying the city of Morgan, and then converging with the road protection team to besiege Qihar, and the city was broken, and Shoushan adhered to the promise of "death if the army is overthrown", and he was in the coffin, and ordered the guards to shoot and martyr.

Now, because of Yue Weihua's arrival, Aihui City and Morgan City are still alive, Qihar is naturally unharmed for the time being, and can the fate of Shoushan be changed?

"Hey, I just don't know, why, Shoushan didn't first destroy the Tsarist Russian road guard in the Fulaierji District?"
