Chapter 358: Broken Dream (I)

After the meeting, Banxi Hachiro didn't say a word, and apologized for the previous Taonan incident. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info"Because of some internal problems, there is a major shortage in the supply of your army, which is our fault, for this, I am here only on my own behalf, I would like to express my sincere apologies to Zhao Jun. In order to make up for our mistakes, I have negotiated with the military to provide the military supplies in the following warehouses to your army as compensation for the past. At the same time, Zhengjin Bank used the reserve of 400,000 silver dollars as military expenses to supply your army. The silver dollar was stored in the official treasury of Taonan, and your army could withdraw it at any time, ensuring that there would be no problems. As for the horses you need, we have negotiated a contract with Albion for the purchase of them, and the ships will soon dock at the Pison's Nest, and you will soon receive them. On this point, we can conclude a contract. ”

"Ban Xijun, it's serious. Everyone is a friend, no one to believe, I have to believe in you, the past, let him pass. When we make friends, we always have to look at the long term, and I believe that as long as we both show sincerity, there is nothing that cannot be cooperated. ”

"That's natural, our cooperation has always been very pleasant, and the performance of your army, the military department, has also given a very high evaluation. Now, I hope that your army will make persistent efforts and continue to cooperate in the final battle to completely drive these Tiele people out of the Guanwai, and also create a miracle in the international community, where the yellow race defeated the white race, so that the great powers dare not underestimate us. ”

"Brother Banxi, what you said about yellow and white people, this is a big truth, I don't understand it very well. You pay attention to race, I pay more attention to people. All of my soldiers are in front of me, no matter what race they are, they are all my subordinates. They have to eat when they are hungry, they have to dress when they are cold, they have to make money when they are looking for women, and they have to put guns when they are fighting. Without guns and bullets, I can't explain to them, and I can't pull my face and let them die for me. Now that we have weapons and ammunition, and military salaries and materials, everything else is easy to do. This fellow, I promise, won't be a nuisance to you. But...... If there is any more problems in the warehouse, my subordinates may mutiny, and I will not be able to restrain these Qiu Ba at that time, so don't blame me, brother. ”

"Please rest assured that there is absolutely no such thing, and the guards of several warehouses have already received orders from the military headquarters. Not only will they provide supplies for your army, but they will also take on combat missions, and they will be integrated into your troops to help you work together to eradicate these soft horse thieves. ”

Zhao Guanhou laughed, "Brother Banxi, you are a friend enough, I didn't say it, I will entertain you for dinner tonight, and I will pick up the goods tomorrow." This time, he beat the Rouran people and seized a few bottles of Tilerian vodka from them, just to taste them together. ”

That night, Sun Meiyao ate and smiled in the quilt, "The Fusang devil finally couldn't bear it, but he was still convinced." is willing to give guns and silver dollars, it seems that these Rouran bandits really hurt them. ”

Zhao Guanhou gently stroked the most majestic mountain in the family, and said, "The Rouran bandit is not so much about hurting him as about being afraid of him." Fuso fought very the front line, Nogi Noshinori was a madman, and he used people to fill the battle line, and there were so many dead bodies that there was a plague. All the manpower was pulled to the front line to fight, and there were no soldiers available in the rear. After the Rouran people ate the Botian Ghost, there was no one to control the rear. The hundreds of warehouses of the Fusang people are equivalent to being completely undefended, and the Rouran people can fight and burn if they want. If this continues, his front-line supplies will soon go wrong, and he will be defeated without a fight. He gave me the supplies, but it was just a favor, in exchange for me to work for him. If you refuse to give it to me, sooner or later it will be cheaper for Rouran. ”

"Rouran people have good guns, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight."

"It's okay, our reinforcements have come in. Zhang Yuting contacted the locks these days, asking for horses and guns, Bo Tiangui was finished, and everyone was afraid that the Rouran people would hit him on the head, and he had nothing to say about it, he would be able to gather thousands of people. Besides, our reinforcements are almost here. I didn't use troops, I was also waiting for reinforcements from Xinmin, and this time I pulled three battalions up, so I don't believe in fighting the Rouran people. ”

"I see, you're thinking about Fengxi. At the beginning, I kept saying that I didn't like her, and I had no relationship with her, but once I had your seed, I think you still have to worry about it. ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled: "Then how about you let me worry about it too?" My cavalry commander, this time it's your turn to be a horse. ”

At dawn the next day, Zhao Guanhou's department began to receive several warehouses provided by Banxi. In order to let Jin Bing take action to solve the Rouran people, this time the Fusang people did not dare to play any tricks, the materials in the warehouse are complete, and the products are all new, including Fusang's newly made rifled rifles and even more than 100 Mini rifles, which can be regarded as a bloody investment.

In a warehouse, there were three twelve-pounder field howitzers, which made Zhang Huaizhi ecstatic, and for the sake of mobility, he did not bring heavy artillery with him. This time, I want to attack the Rouran people hard, and with these three cannons, as well as more than fifty grenade shotguns, it will help a lot. Especially now that there are a large number of horses, there is no difficulty in dragging the cannon, and there is no reason to refuse.

The remaining troops in several warehouses, together numbering about one hundred and fifty men, were commanded by a Chinese-speaking Fuso officer. Zhao Guanhou conveyed the order to him, and then he commanded the troops to fight.

These left-behind troops can only be regarded as the second-line troops of Fusang, and may even be transferred from the reserves, and their combat effectiveness is not very trustworthy, but they are always stronger than the Rouran bandits. Besides, the Fusang military gave Zhao Guanhou the authority to enforce battlefield discipline, and he was ready to use these people as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

When he returned to Baicheng, Xinmin's reinforcements had arrived, and the banner general Hu Xiaolin led the three battalions of the front army to arrive, and Ren Sheng, who had recovered from his injuries, was also in the team. These 1,500 soldiers were a new force, and as soon as the troops arrived, their strength increased greatly, and they were a little more confident in the extermination of Tao Ke Tao Hai. For Zhao Guanhou, the biggest joy is as Sun Meiyao said, Fengxi is finally here.

Although the two have no feelings for each other, the days outside the customs are opposite each other, and the distance between the two is really much closer than in the past. What's more, there is now an inseparable bond between the two, and no one can deny the catalytic role of a child in the relationship between two people.

Zhao Guanhou once thought that he didn't care about this kind of thing anymore, but when he saw Feng Xi's bulging belly, he still felt a burst of joy in his heart, leaned over and bowed his head and said, "Come, say hello to Dad." ”

Feng Xi saw him like this, and his heart was also full of mixed feelings. I don't have much affection for this man, and my commitment is out of compensation and atonement. But since she had his flesh and bones, her heart has also changed as a life is conceived in her body.

Before the meeting, she even began to worry about her appearance and whether she had become ugly because of pregnancy. This is like a different person compared to when she took the initiative to wash her face with croton water and turned herself into an ugly girl.

The chain that Zhao Guanhou gave her, she also wore it around her neck, and even she couldn't tell the reason. In other words, when she has to give birth to an heir for a man, whether the man is her lover or not, she hopes that she can fall in love with him, and she hopes that he can fall in love with herself.

Once she thought that she wanted to give this child to the eldest lady, and even the relationship with Zhao Guanhou was also to help the lady win her husband's heart. But now, she is a little shaken, she no longer wants to give away the child, this is the life she has worked so hard to conceive, and no one will give it.

The two gossiped for a while, and Zhao Guanhou's rare few soft words were warm, so that Feng Xi, an old Jianghu who prides himself on seeing all kinds of ugly faces at the door of the mansion, is also unconsciously addicted to it. She bit her lower lip and said after a while, "...... I...... I'll give you a five-watch chicken. You are here alone, without my medicinal diet, your body can't eat. ”

"Don't move, don't run around with the child, and when you go back, I will raise you to be your aunt."

"No...... I still have to be a maid for my wife. Feng Xi lowered his head and said, "I can't have no conscience, if I become an aunt, Madame will be angry." You...... No, I mean crown...... Guanhou? She glanced at Zhao Guanhou and saw him looking at her with encouraging eyes, so she became bold, "That Tiele woman also came with me, do you want to see her?" ”

Mia opens a café in Xinmin, which is actually Tieler's intelligence station. The suggestion that the Lushun Fortress use beans to sprout beans was conveyed by this intelligence station, and because of this information, the Lushun Fortress lasted longer, and the Fuso people paid a greater price. But Zhao Guanhou only used her, and even when he was with her at the beginning, he only had the mentality of not playing for nothing, and he was not moved, and he couldn't figure out why she came here.

Feng Xi explained: "She told me that in her country, people like her who do not do well will be punished very cruelly. So she wants to run away now, but ...... I hope you give her a sum of money. I wanted to pay her with my own private money, but she asked for a huge amount. ”

Give the money and cut off? This is a very good way, Zhao Guanhou has a large amount of Tiele rubles in his hands, and this money is not a problem. He comforted Feng Xi a few words, and immediately asked people to find a suitcase, which was filled with 100,000 rubles, and brought it to Mia.

After Mia opened the box, her sapphire-like eyes immediately widened, raised her head, and looked at Zhao Guanhou with an angry face, "It's you!" You are the one who robbed us of our salaries! ”

"Calm down, you're going to rebel yourself, so what's going on. Does it make sense to find out who it is now? Is it useful for you to go and tell your superiors that you have found out who is robbing you of your military pay and destroying your warehouses? Not only do I have your rubles, but I also have several boxes of your emperor's icons, and I can give them to you if you like. If you want money, just talk, don't stare at me. ”

Mia seemed to have been punctured by a ball, and sat back in her seat weakly, looking at Zhao Guanhou with a pitiful expression, "Why, why are you so ruthless to me." Have you forgotten the good times we had for the two of us? In the woods of the West Mountains, you tear my clothes like a robber......"

"Yes, you're a great bed partner, I've always admitted it, but it doesn't make sense. You know that we can only use each other. I'm using you to get out the news I've thought through, and you want to use me to dig up information from me. You are out, I am out, this business is very fair, isn't it? Now, the deal is over. The battle is now over, can you use this set of information from me again? ”

"It worked. I want to know, where is the special fleet of Fuso? Mia leaned forward, and the words had already been spoken, but she had no scruples. Tell me where the Fuso people will put their fleet to attack our fleet. Also, what are you going to do next? Tell me this, I can ask Oleg to open an account for you in Daosheng Bank, you want money, it's easy. If you want me, I'll make you happy. ”

"That's what it sounds like, little beauty." Zhao Guanhou gently pinched her face, "Where are my troops, I won't tell you." So, you can save that money. As for where Fuso's fleet is facing you, the Fuso people have not told me, but according to my analysis, it should be in the area of the Tsushima Strait, which is the best place to meet the Pacific Fleet and wait for work. You can send this message back to your home country and see if your intelligence agencies will forgive you for it. As for the reward, for the sake of my comfort to the people you used to serve, this time it's free. You can collect this money, and enjoy your life while it has not turned into waste paper. ”

Mia carried the suitcase and looked at Zhao Guanhou for a while, "Thank you for everything, if you have the opportunity, I will repay you." ”

"I'll wait, little beauty, goodbye."

Knowing that he sent Mia away with 100,000 rubles, Sun Meiyao was the first to rejoice, and accompanied him for half the night before going to sleep. Although Feng Xi was pregnant and saddled the horse in vain, after learning that Zhao Guanhou was going to suppress the horse bandits, he still silently lifted the iron rod and wanted to accompany him.

In desperation, Zhao Guanhou was worth finding a supple mare for her to ride, and the troops marched from Baicheng to Liquan Town. The previous release of fish has allowed Tao Ke Taohai to accumulate a lot of wealth, and now, it is finally time to close it.

Liquan Town is not very far from Taonan, located in the territory of Rouran, there is a spring called Python Spring outside the town, the spring water is sweet and clear, because of the water and brewing, it is to burn a lot of pots in this place. There are many merchants buying wine, and although the name of this place is a town, it is actually a small county town.

Because of the war, there are no more merchants in the town to buy wine, and several large pot-burning stables are tied to livestock, and the storehouses are no longer full of wine jars, but one wooden box after another. What is in it is not a good wine that can relieve a thousand sorrows, but guns, ammunition, military uniforms, and medicine money. The excited Rouran bandits, after experiencing the initial defeat, have finally tasted a hint of victory, and this operation is not completely fruitless.

Several bandit leaders have already entered the compound of Tan Ji Burning Pot, which is their temporary headquarters, and they came today to discuss the matter very simple: divide. They don't want to do it anymore and feel like it's time to divide up and go home until next year. Some of the bandit leaders who had experienced the Battle of the White City were whispering: This is the last time, it's time to stop. (To be continued.) )
