After the young man fell to the ground, he was unconscious, everyone hurriedly gathered around, Lin Yuan opened his eyelids and looked at it, and touched the bridge of his nose, and then said to everyone: "It's okay, he just fainted, and the bridge of his nose was not broken, and he didn't have to worry about the broken bones entering the brain, so he wouldn't have to worry about his life." ”

When the other Russian soldiers saw that someone was fighting, they hurriedly took the gun off their shoulders and held it in their hands, and surrounded them, and Gilles hurriedly said to everyone: "Give me all back." ”

Then he slowly walked up to Lin Yuan and said, "Is there something wrong with that young man?" If you don't, wake him up, apologize to me, and I won't pursue today's matter. ”

The people gathered around the young man said: "You are also deceiving people too much, obviously you hit someone, and you want us to apologize!" ”

Lin Yuan waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion, and then said to Gilles: "This young man is not sensible, I apologize for him, I hope you can forgive him." ”

Gilles looked at Lin Yuan and smiled proudly: "Since you apologize, then I won't pursue it, so let's do it, you quickly hand over the money to me, and the train is about to leave." ”

Lin Yuan took out the checkbook, signed one and handed it to Gilles, Gilles didn't take it with his hand, but looked at Lin Yuan, and pointed to the deputy beside him with his chin, everyone was angry when they saw Gilles treating Lin Yuan so arrogantly, but Lin Yuan was not angry, stretched his hand forward, and handed the check to Gilles's deputy.

The deputy took the check, Lin Yuan heard the young man behind him moan, he had woken up, Lin Yuan hurriedly turned around to look, the young man was hit hard, he was beaten and confused, he looked at the people around him blankly, and muttered, "What's wrong with me?" ”

Lin Yuan saw that he was fine, so he said to everyone: "Okay, let's stop entangling with them, let's get back to the train quickly." ”

Everyone got on the train, and they were still worried about what had just happened, but they couldn't help it, they were all ordinary people, and they were on the territory of the Russians, so they could only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, one by one with sad faces, sighing, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "What's wrong with everyone?" Isn't it just that I have been wronged? What is there to worry about, we Chinese have an old saying, a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late! We will avenge this sooner or later! ”

There was a smile on everyone's faces, Lin Yuan coughed, raised his tone and said, "I see that everyone is also hungry, I have asked people to prepare delicious food for everyone, everyone will fill their stomachs first." After a while, I saw Wang Genbao pushing the dining cart and said to everyone: "Shanxi villagers, try whether my knife and noodles are authentic?" ”

Everyone looked at the pot, it was a steaming noodle, the middle of the noodle was thick and thin on both sides, crystal clear, it was Shanxi knife cut noodles, there were several big pots on the side of the pot, Wang Genbao pointed to the big pot and said: "These are all added to the noodles to eat, there are pork, beef, eggs, and Shanxi vinegar!" ”

Wang Genbao lifted the lid, and the room was suddenly filled with aroma, Lin Yuan watched everyone happily eat noodles, quietly walked up to Lu Wansu, and whispered, "Come to my carriage after you finish eating." ”

Lu Wansu hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Lin Shuai has something to order, how dare I eat, I'll go with you now." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "No need, I have more things to say, you better eat first." After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he returned to his carriage, and after a while, he saw Lu Wansu walking in, Lin Yuan beckoned him to sit down in front of him, and then took out a map from the box, put it in front of Lu Wansu, and said, "Tell me which way you took when you went to Kulen to trade." ”

Lu Wansu pointed to a place in the west of Shanxi with his hand and said, "If we take the western route, then we must come out of the mouth of the tiger and then ......."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "My troops are all in the northeast, and if I send troops, I will go from the east of Shanxi, and I will not go to the west of Shanxi no matter what!" So Lin Yuan said: "Don't talk about the western front, let's talk about the eastern front directly." ”

Lu Wansu nodded and said: "If it is the eastern line, then we will come out of Zhangjiakou, and then go north, then we will enter Inner Mongolia, the scene is also different from the Central Plains, few crops can be seen, most of them are grassland, and there are few people in the middle, and then to the north, there is a small city called Yilin, where the merchants from the south and the north gather, and then ......."

Lin Yuan suddenly waved his hand and said, "Slow! How big is this city called Irin and how many people are in it? Is there a garrison? ”

Lu Wansu replied: "This is the jurisdiction of the Xilin Gol League in Inner Mongolia, the prince of the Xilin Gol League manages the taxation and security here, and the troops of the prince of the Xilin Gol League are stationed in the city, all of them are cavalry, about 1,000 people. ”

The rule of the Qing Dynasty in Mongolia is different from that of the hinterland, the hinterland is divided into provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties, and in Mongolia is divided into flags and leagues, and the land and population within a certain range are divided into a flag, and a number of flags form an alliance, at this time there are six leagues in Inner Mongolia, Lin Yuanzhi and Lu Dao These six leagues are relatively close to the Central Plains, and are more influenced by the Central Plains culture, and the relationship with the Qing court is also relatively close, so there is no need to worry that these six alliances will be divided by the conspiracy of the Russians.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "If we want to send troops, it is relatively close to enter Mongolia directly from the Northeast, but most of the areas bordering Mongolia in the Northeast are deserts, and there are no ready-made post roads or trade routes, which is extremely unfavorable to the mobilization of troops, and if you start from Zhangjiakou, there are not only post roads to choose from, but also ready-made trade routes to supply, and from the Northeast to transfer materials to Zhangjiakou, there are railways to choose from, which is very convenient!" ”

Lin Yuan stared intently at the small city called Yilin and thought, "This is our first supply location. At this time, he heard Lu Wansu say on the side: "Lin Shuai, what are you thinking?" ”

Lin Yuan came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, you go on." ”

Lu Wansu then said: "We started from Yilin, and entered the Tushetu Khan Department of Outer Mongolia, which is under the jurisdiction of my General Uriyasu of the Qing Dynasty, but Uriya Sutai is far away from here, so each department is on its own, and there are fewer towns on this road, such as Ud, Senzhi, and Ulan Tolohai, and there are also a lot of deserts between towns, and these places are not peaceful, and there are horse bandits!" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Horse bandits? How many people are there? How's the equipment? ”

Lu Wansu said: "Some of these horse bandits are criminals from the Central Plains, fled to Mongolia, and have no way to make a living, so they take robbery as a business, and some are rogue herdsmen, seeing that robbery is profitable, they moved their minds, these horse bandits are very fierce, our caravans are usually accompanied by martial artists, they will rob after they come, if the robbery does not achieve murder, if the people can't kill them all, they will smoke cold and cut the water bags carried by the caravan, and there is no water when they cross the desert, but they are dead and alive!" ”

Lin Yuan nodded, thinking, "After we enter Mongolia, we can easily clean up these horse bandits, and we can also win the hearts of the people." ”
