3005 Attack on Xibei's "Sky Watching" plan
On the thirtieth day of the first lunar month, Shuerhaqi and Li Rumei returned to Berdoune, accompanied by Wang Qinian, Loko, Kanggulu and the new foreign aid Tanaka Nishita (warm applause, welcome to "Tianwen style" to join!). Since Toei didn't have the surname Tianwen, he had to use Tanaka instead. )
This guy Tanaka Nishita is also a character, and his family was a small flag book of the Nizi family before. The banner was originally an army under the direct command of the Toei Daimyo (similar in concept to the guards). After the fall of the Niko family, they followed Niko Takahisa's grandfather, a concubine, and continued to fight against the shogunate. A group of people always have to eat, and Tanaka's grandfather actually thought of a way, pretending to leave the Nizi family, pulling up a group of bandits, robbing the house everywhere, and supporting the Nizi family with the stolen money. Now the Nizi family has recaptured the fiefdom, albeit formally. In this case, Tanaka Nishita could not return to the Nizi family because he had provoked a lot of enemies, so as not to cause trouble to the main family. Dongying had nowhere to stay, so Tanaka and the brothers followed Li Sicheng to Liaoning. Because they are very good at climbing mountains and mountains, flying eaves and walls, killing people and setting fires, they can also fight with the Jianrui Battalion, and they thought that the farther away from Dongying was better, so they brought their families to Berdune together.
Li Ruhua, Ye Jintaiji, and Bai Tianming set up wine and meat in the yamen to catch the wind and wash the dust for the brothers. Yebuzhai and most of the Xibei Department were together, camped at the foot of the Great Xing'an Mountains for the winter, and Ye Jintaiji and Bai Tianming returned to Nenjiang with the old and weak to settle.
Shulhaqi told Tanaka that you should take care of the land outside, and each person will be given a hundred acres of land, and those who are still in their stomachs will be given. It's pretty much fine, don't go too far. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to plant, and I will have to divide the slaves in the future. After the circle, it is good to find a scribe to set up a paperwork, and farming and grazing are casual. Then he found two horses, three oxen, thirty sheep, twenty taels of silver, furniture, farm implements, and tents for each of them to settle down. The subordinates and family members in the field, who were eating meat fiercely, were crazy when they heard the news, and they would only shout there: "The great master of the Celestial Empire is loaded!" ”
Wang Qinian reprimanded with a smile: "What Heavenly Empire master?!" You are also from the Celestial Empire now, you should be called the Great Master! And ah! The people of the Celestial Empire, how can they not speak the words of the Celestial Empire! Hurry up and learn! If you say something, you have to rely on a general translation, like what kind of words?! ”
……
At the banquet, everyone discussed the tasks assigned this time. Li Ruhua continued to defend Berdune and support the operations on the western and northern fronts; Li Rumei took Loko and Kangguru to sweep north, both of them are experienced, and there is no problem. When it comes to the Western Front, it's a bit stuck.
There have been some changes in the Mongolian steppe, since the Xibei tribe was active in the Mongolian steppe last year, the remaining independent tribes have been annexed. Needless to say, the Tumut Department will take refuge as soon as the people with the different surname Yehe say that they agree, and the different surname Yehe is also a Tumut! Now four forces have been formed in the Horqin grassland: Chahar, Horqin, Xibei, and Jizhou. Chahar and Korqin thought that Xibei belonged to the Nen Horqin Division, but in fact, the Xibei Division and Jizhou wore a pair of pants. The current Horqin grassland is in a strange balance.
However, due to the fact that Xibei is not old and weak, its strength is relatively strong. The old and weak of the Xibei tribe are all settled in the Nenjiang Plain, oh, it is the Songnen Plain. The rest are strong, and women can kill men from other tribes. However, the Xibei Department must not be too enemy-oriented, otherwise it will be jointly attacked by Chahar and Horqin, and it will not be something that they can withstand now. Jizhen still can't support Adou, and he can't count on them. So recently, Bai Ming and the Ye brothers have not made any moves.
Everyone discussed and discussed, but they couldn't discuss any good way. Tanaka, who had really been a bandit, listened to the cause and effect of the whole thing translated by Tongshi, thought for a while, and said an opinion: "If we are bandits, we will send people to step on the point in advance, and after determining the situation of the target, we will send a large team of people to do business." The brothers in charge of stepping on the point are all dedicated to this thing, and they are all innocent on the surface, and they do not appear to be very powerful, so no matter how you look at it, it will not arouse the suspicion of others. As for the robbery, leave it entirely to the other brothers......"
Before he finished speaking, he received a slap on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, several people extended their thumbs to him. Sure enough, the opinion of professionals is professional, and bandits are indeed a promising career. Knowing that everyone was praising him, Tanaka couldn't get angry, but was happy that he had just arrived, and his suggestions were accepted by everyone.
Tanaka opened everyone's minds, and various ideas popped up at once.
Ye Jintaiji and Bai Tianming patted their chests and promised that they must do a good job in the arduous task of stepping on the point, and absolutely pretend to be a harmless little white rabbit, so that all the Mongolian tribes believe that Xibei has recovered, and is now a friendly, hostile and honest herding tribe in Liaoning, and will not attack other tribes casually.
Li Rumei proposed: The Xibei Department should be further streamlined, making it look like it was attacked by Liaoning and there were many casualties, so as to clear up the suspicion of having ties with Liaoning. If you want to be attacked, you can't only be Xibei, you can also attack other Mongolian tribes that are threatening on the edge of the Great Khing'an Mountains.
Li Ruhua's opinion is the issue of personnel placement: the streamlined Mongols and the newly arrived Dongying and Han people should be cross-resettled. Villages were set up in places suitable for farming and where there was a water source, allowing the Dongying and Han Chinese to farm, and also serving as a fixed settlement for the Mongols. It is also necessary to investigate all kinds of hostile elements mixed with the new immigrants, and once they are discovered, they will be resolutely cut down.
Kangguru's opinion was technical: the troops to do business had to be maneuverable at high speed, with more than one man, and disappear as quickly as possible when the business was done. It must be made clear that it is the young and strong, children, horses, and cattle that are to be robbed, and the others are all killed and burned. Prepare enough vehicles to load the captives.
Loko's opinion is also technical, with a different emphasis: the attack must be mainly a sneak attack, and if you attack by force, not only will the losses be large, but it will also delay time, and the troops will lose the advantage of high-speed maneuvering, resulting in the failure of the operation.
Tanaka took the initiative to propose: There are several ninjas under him, communicate with the brothers of the Jianrui battalion, familiarize themselves with the characteristics of the grassland, and ensure that they can complete the infiltration assault mission well.
Wang Qinian recorded his personal opinions and sorted them out after the meeting as the next action plan.
In the end, it was Bai Ming, the traverser, who proposed to give the operation a name. Li Rumei despised this half-literate guy very much, and began to show off her knowledge: this is the Jurchen Huanglong Mansion in the former Song Dynasty, and the dry well behind the official office is the place where the two surnamed Zhao sat in the well and watched the sky. Several Jurchens next to him applauded.
Soon, Li Rumei was complained by her brother: "Sitting in the well and watching the sky" is too long, it is inconvenient to call it, and changing the name is lacking in level, so it is called "Guantian" plan!
After all, Wang Qinian used to be a showman, and he despised these guys who pretended to be literati, I was a gentleman, and I ignored them.
Tanaka's eyes are full of little stars: The people of the Celestial Empire are just different, they are too literary, I have to learn the Celestial Empire dialect quickly and adapt to being a Celestial Empire person!
Once the plan is decided, of course, eat, drink and celebrate. The rise of a group of men drinking, proposing to find beautiful women to help the fun. No problem, behind the official office are the young daughters of the chiefs of the tribes that have been exterminated, and the other dependents have been destroyed, and the young ones will also be destroyed when they are fully utilized. But the girls didn't know this, and they thought that if they served the old man well, they would save their lives.
A group of people held an uncovered meeting in the official office without shame. The Li family brothers and Bai Tianming were a little curious: Didn't you say that Dongying people are all small toothpicks, why are Tanaka thicker than Duan Xiao's?
