Chapter 190: Prosperous Horse Market
Shengjing, General's Mansion.
"Tell the general, this is a telegram from the new deputy governor of Morgan, Ulemu."
Zeng Qi took the telegram sent by his own soldiers, and after taking a look, he suddenly laughed and said: "Haha, interesting, interesting, Master Mo, you can also take a look at this telegram, ****, really when General Ben is so easy to fool, is this how he Wulemu repays me, isn't he afraid that General Ben will copy his whole family?" ”
Master Mo turned out to telegraph, and it turned out to be a call from Ulemu, informing him that although he was captured by the Black Dragon Army in the First Battle of Fufu County, the Black Dragon Army did not want to be an enemy of the imperial court, so not only did he not do anything to himself, but also personally escorted himself to Murgen City, and then naturally took up the post of deputy capital of Murgen City.
"General, if my guess is correct, I'm afraid that even if all of Ulemu's family members are not transferred, then his precious son must not be in Shengjing, otherwise, Ulemu will definitely not dare to send this telegram." Master Mo said bluntly.
Because Yu Busheng, Li Mengsheng and others are lessons from the past, after they officially threw themselves into the arms of the Black Dragon Army, their families all disappeared, and even Fei Qing's family members suddenly disappeared some time ago, of course, Fei Qing's family members were gone, Fei Qing still deliberately sent a telegram to explain, saying that the family was worried about it, and it was not easy to be promoted, so he wanted to take it over and enjoy a few days of happiness.
"Send someone to verify it, damn it." After Zeng Qi finished scolding, he immediately called in a personal guard and gave a few orders, and after the personal guard left, Zeng Qi looked at Master Mo again and asked: "Master Mo, what do you think about the matter of Wulemu?" ”
"Didn't the general already have an idea?" Master Mo smiled.
"It's just that I'm unwilling, these dog minions, one by one, betrayed the general, betrayed the court, and actually have the face to send a call to report loyalty, they really deserve to be killed." Zeng Qi said angrily.
"A general can endure what others can't endure in order to be invincible, isn't it?" Master Mo said.
"Hey, it's just, forget it, but, Master Mo, do you really think that the Black Dragon Army can escape this encirclement and suppression by Tsarist Russia?" Zeng Qi said: "This time, Tsarist Russia is ready to send 80,000 troops by itself, plus 80,000 troops in coordination with the Qing army, a total of 160,000 troops, can the Black Dragon Army really be able to stop it?" ”
"General, whether you can stop it or not is not the point, the point is that the Black Dragon Army has already been invincible." Master Mo paused, and then said: "The Black Dragon Army does not occupy the city, and its headquarters Wolf Domain is backed by Bulun Mountain, even if it is defeated, what can it do, as long as you hide in Bulun Mountain, Tsarist Russia will not say 160,000 troops, it is 600,000 troops, what can you do?" ”
"Besides, it's September now, Aihui is about to enter winter, and the heavy snow is coming, according to a normal year, that is, a month, at most two months, there will be heavy snow to close the mountain, at that time, the Qing army of Tsarist Russia retreated without a fight, and the danger of the wolf domain was self-relieved."
"Perhaps, the general will say, the snow will close the mountain, then our army will block the wolf domain, but if we can block the wolf domain, how can we block the Buren Mountain, after all, many soldiers of the Black Dragon Army are originally from the mountains, the key point is that there are not many soldiers of the Black Dragon Army, and, if my expectations are good, then they at least have enough supplies for the Black Dragon Army to survive the winter." Master Mo analyzed.
"Okay, I hope the Black Dragon Army will be able to receive this love in the future."
"The general is too worried, at least the Black Dragon Army has not been upset by the imperial court so far, and if I expected it to be true, Li Zhongtang may have also received the relevant telegram, and Li Zhongtang didn't say anything."
"Since that's the case, then trouble Master Mo to send a telegram back to Ulemu."
"Wow."
……
With the smooth integration of the Nenjiang Naval Division Battalion, and with the official appointment of Ulemu as the deputy capital of Mergen, it marks that the jurisdiction of the deputy capital of Morgan is officially under the control of the Black Dragon Army.
With the assumption of Ulemu, the deputy capital of Morgan Yamen also began to operate again, and orders and proclamations were constantly transmitted from the deputy capital yamen, and the deputy capital as the head of the military and political affairs of a place has great autonomy over the military and political capital in the jurisdiction, especially when the general of Heishui Province has not taken office, the authority of the deputy capital of Morgan is very large.
The first decree issued by the deputy governor Yamen was to rectify the market order and prosper the horse market.
Morgan City is one of the "Seven Towns Outside the Border" of the Northeast Frontier, and it is the throat of the border into the interior in history, and the "Shengjing Tongzhi" says that it is "negative mountains in the north, fertile fields in the south, rivers and rivers, and the upper and lower points", therefore, the border trade between Morgan City and the grassland is prosperous, especially the horse market.
Horses, in this era of extremely underdeveloped transportation, have an extremely important value for the army, so the first decree after Ulemu came to power, that is, to rectify the market order and prosper the horse market, its purpose is self-evident.
In addition, a lot of decrees have also been issued, such as rectifying the rule of officials, although the main energy of the Black Dragon Army is currently developing the team and reorganizing the army, but since the Black Dragon Army has been secretly controlled, what it can do, it is natural to do it, of course, the order is mainly issued by Yue Weiyun, but the implementation and supervision may still depend on Ulemu and Wanyan Batu to do, as for the extent to which it can be done, the Black Dragon Army may only be able to let it go for the time being, after all, the energy is limited.
At present, Heilongjiang's main energy is undoubtedly all put on the development and training of the army, and the city of Morgan is no exception; Yue Weihua has already explained that he will recruit six battalions of patrol battalions in the name of the deputy commander of the capital of Morgan, and the matter of recruiting troops is mainly done by Wanyan Batu, but the task of training new recruits is the matter of the Xigang Military Division.
Today, Yue Weiyun and Tie Lin felt a little troubled, and the source of the trouble was the problem of the braid on the recruit's head.
According to Yue Weihua's design, the six battalions of soldiers recruited in the name of the deputy commander of Morgan were nominally subordinate to the Qing army and were responsible for the defense of Morgan City, but they were trained by the Xigang Military Division.
But in this way, the problem comes, Yue Weiyun sent a large number of officers to train, and he had to brainwash the recruits at night and instill the idea of the Black Dragon Army, when the recruits heard it, it turned out that they actually belonged to the Black Dragon Army, which was called an excitement, so some recruits began to cut their braids secretly, and with the lead, there were more people who followed the trend, and in the blink of an eye, six battalions, more than 3,000 soldiers, when training the next morning, they were all without braids.
"What's the matter, it's okay to wear a fake braid once in a while, then you can't let them stand guard at the head of the city of Morgen, and they all wear fake braids, right?" Tie Lin was a little embarrassed.
"It's really a bit troublesome, why don't you pull these six battalions back to Xigang, and let Wanyan Batu recruit again?" Yue Weiyun said.
"Ahem, commander, this abacus is good, but six battalions, but the size of two regiments, our Xigang Military Division can afford it, I'm afraid the headquarters will not agree." Tie Lin suddenly said happily.
"I'll take care of that." Yue Weiyun paused, and complained slightly: "The Morgen Sailor Battalion, three thousand men and horses, all of them were pulled away by Luo Qing, leaving a few broken ships, we need three thousand recruits now, this is not too much." ”
"Hehe, not too much, not too much, but seeing that winter is coming, the caves on the top of Xigang Mountain are not enough to live, and their stations and training places are not easy to find." Tie Lin worried.
"I'm not in charge of this, haha." Yue Weiyun said with a smile.
"Okay, commander, you can take care of the headquarters, the station, and the training ground."
