Chapter 291 - The First Battle of the Cossacks (XXII)
"Go on!"
Fortunately, Ji Xiha has not expressed his position, but just blindly let Wu Enqi speak freely.
"I think that every camp of our army needs to be garrisoned by a Niu Lu and a hundred and twenty banner soldiers, but whenever the Cossacks come to attack, they will form a formation and clean them up. Besides, how many Cossacks can fight against my Eight Banners like this? A year and a half later, the prestige of the Eight Banners was naturally broadcast thousands of miles, and by that time, the Cossacks were naturally terrified. And according to the observation under the mark, the cavalry in the Rakshasa people are almost all these Cossacks. Without cavalry, the Rakshasas are like vultures with broken arms in this wasteland, just waiting to starve to death and be trapped! β
"You mean...... The army needs to stay for more than a year? Jidu's eyes lit up.
"Please, General, atone for your sins! It was thought that if there was a big battle to be fought, it would be enough for the army to stay for a year. If there is no big battle, there will not be many years or two. Moreover, those Cossacks were mostly mercenary soldiers, and since the Rakshasas could use them, why couldn't I use them in the Qing Dynasty? If the Cossacks were to be used against the Cossacks, and the Rakshasas against the Rakshasas, wouldn't it be all effortless? "Wu Enqi seized the opportunity and fully demonstrated his strategic acumen and extraordinary insight.
"Hahaha! Good! Your insight is truly unique! Well, you go down and rest first! Take good care of your injuries, I'll be of great use to you in the future! Ji Du finally ended the conversation between the general and Niu Lu with a satisfied laugh.
Seeing that Wu Enqi was about to withdraw from the tent, Ji Du suddenly waved his hand to stop him, and commanded again with a caring face:
"Wait, Unki. You take these foods with you, go back and take care of your body, and within a year or two, you won't be able to return to Jingshi! β
"Huh! Slave General Xie! As long as the general gives an order, the slave will die of old age in this Baihar Lake, and he is also willing! β
Wu Enqi heard Jidu's appreciation, and happily beat his chest with a useful arm, and went away happily to receive the reward.
"General, what this kid said is true! It's Borzigit! It's a man from the Horqin grassland! β
Ji Xiha didn't wait for Lan Bai to express his position, and spoke first. Although Wu Enqi served in Manchuria with the blue flag. But after all, it's still Mongolian. As a Mongolian Gushan Ezhen, Ji Xiha's words are tantamount to saying that he has moved to "dig the foot of the wall......
"Alas, I said Ji Xiha, you old thing, don't count the meat in Lao Tzu's bowl! Besides. He's now under the command of the General! "How could Lan Bai not see the little abacus of this old opponent? Hurriedly carried out Jidu to ambush.
"Haha. If he is a weapon. That is naturally the blessing of my Eight Banners. General Zishiha, do you agree with what he said? Jidu also followed with a haha and asked modestly.
"This kid is right. This is a small battle. Our brothers lost more than 20 men. Lao Lan didn't retreat from the whole body, why are there seventy or eighty people? Most of them were the people of his half-bull record, which shows that when the victory was undecided, the Cossacks were quite powerful. It's a pity, alas! Ji Xiha shook his head and said, first slightly slandering Lan Bai's combat power, and then bluffing with a long sigh.
"What a pity?" Jidu asked with a smile.
"It's a pity that the formation of those Rakshasa infantry troops has just been set up, and before the old man has time to check it, he was disrupted by those Cossacks who fled! What a pity! "Jishiha is really heartbroken.
"Well, the arrangement of the Rakshasa people at that time was indeed a bit interesting, no wonder General Ji Xiha regretted it, and the lower officials also regretted it!" Shi Tingzhu seconded.
"Oh? Is the Rakshasa formation interesting? "Jidu is also interested, and this is a new topic.
After the four of you said a word to me, Jidu knew the general clue.
"It's not difficult, just wait until we gather those Rakshasas together and let them give a few generals a drill! The most important thing at the moment is to take those castles first, and then wait and see the reaction of the Rakshasas. And the will of the imperial court......" Jidu said expectantly, but meaningfully.

North-western corner of Lake Baikal, Angarsk Castle, Governor's Office.
Ivan, the military and political chief of the Baikal region, the "head of Angarsk"? Ivanovic? Boyar, looking cautiously at the Pole opposite, frowned almost together, and his high nose tilted to the side. Although it was an expression of extreme hatred, he always endured it patiently and did not attack, because at this moment, this Pole was standing behind the two Qing people. Fortunately, the Chinese were slightly shorter, enough for Ivan to look directly over the sapphire on the hat of the leader and give the Poles a "eye judgment".
The Pole was even more cramped, standing or sitting, and in the face of the former absolute official, the noble lord appointed by Moscow, this military officer had not yet adapted to his new role. If he had seen this supreme governor of Angarsk ten days ago, how could he dare to act like this, standing in this simple but elegant office? Fortunately, between him and Chief Ivan, there were still two Chinese. But he still kept his head down, otherwise, I'm afraid Ivan's face would make him embarrassed.
Ivan had just stood up from behind his desk angrily, using his height advantage to make up for the embarrassment of his unfavorable situation at this time. Fortunately, he was not alone, and behind him, there were two of his own personal guards, Ross. But he didn't need to look back, he could guess what kind of expression the soldiers behind him were: it must be a look of shame and anger, and he dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.
After a long time, Ivan finally stopped paying attention to the Poles, decided to break the silence, and said to the Chinese who was a head shorter than himself:
"Honorable Minister of the Emperor Bogda, my military officer, Your Excellency Tong, what you say is absolutely unacceptable to me. Let me repeat, here is the all-Russian absolutist monarch, Tsar Alexei? The territory of Grand Duke Mikhailovich has been since twenty years ago. This reckless military action of yours will bring great losses and damage to the entire peace in the Far East! I advise Your Excellency to withdraw your troops as soon as possible and to return to your garrison, so that we may submit your request to the Central Government in Moscow. As for whether or not your demands will be met, it is up to the Tsar to decide. β
The Chinese on the opposite side is none other than Tong Guoxi, the leader of the Han Army of the Qing Dynasty with a blue flag. After hearing the translation made by his attachΓ©, Tong Guoxi smiled slightly, did not rush to speak, but turned around and found a seat by himself, shook his official uniform, and sat in front of the Rakshasa people in a grand manner. In this way, the height advantage of Chief Ivan not only came to naught, but also sat and stood again, and once again the main and secondary were clear!
Not only that, Tong Guoxi trembled, the yellow-edged and blue-bottomed leopard supplement on his chest was particularly dazzling, and Ivan on the opposite side clearly saw the feline stepping on the waves glaring angrily at him, and he was a little dazzled for a while, and he forgot to express his dissatisfaction with this faux pas and take countermeasures.
"Mr. Ivan, you are really obsessed. What you keep saying about twenty years ago is a joke. I repeat, this was the place where our sheep were shepherds more than 1,600 years ago. It's just that it was called Beihai at that time, and now it is called Suwu Lake in the Qing Dynasty, which is also to commemorate the shepherd. Also, what kind of tsar you are talking about, I really have never heard of. In the whole world, only I, the Son of Heaven of the Great Qing Kingdom, can be called the emperor, your master, but what kind of grand duke, count it as a first-class duke! Let him decide the instructions of the Heavenly Empire, which is tantamount to a fool's dream! β
Tong Guoxi smiled and repeated the topic he had said again.
"My surname is Ivan, my surname is boyar!" Chief Ivan finally found an obvious mistake and hurriedly corrected it.
"Hehe, the barbarian state is indeed uncivilized, put the surname behind." After Tong Guoxi heard the translation, he was very exaggerated and ridiculed. This expression made Ivan, who had just been a little relieved, not know what his problem was, and could only wait for the translator on the opposite side to help.
This kung fu, Tong Guoxi's face sank, and he said with a clear eye:
"You barbarian states have invaded my northeastern holy land many times, killed my border people, and destroyed my villages. Now there is still a face and what the official said to destroy the peace? It was you who came to the door, and you were the first to provoke, and now it is you who are beating up! β
Without waiting for the translation to finish, Tong Guowei had no intention of continuing to dwell on this topic, and suddenly changed his face to a hideous face, and said almost intimidatingly:
"This official came here just to ask you: to surrender, or not to surrender!"

Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath
