Chapter 361—Western Siberia (8)
After laughing for a while, Ji Du slowly regained his calm demeanor, but compared to just now, there was a lot less serious look, and more expectations for two useful people.
"Ablin, Yarezhkin!"
"In!" The two responded almost simultaneously.
"Remember, you two are not to hinder each other in the future. You must work together to be of the greatest use to me. Leaving a single person behind can be a waste one! Do you know the way? "Jidu once again emphasizes unity.
"I know it!" Ablin and Yarezhkin looked at each other, a little relieved, but also a little helpless - a grasshopper on a rope, this matter is at least solid.
"Good! That's right. You see, Ablin is fluent in Mongolian and Rakshasa dialects, and the key is that he can make up for your lack of Yarezhkin. You are well versed in military affairs, but you are not as nimble as Ablin, and I think you two really need to work together! Jidu patiently explained in detail.
"I see! General, please rest assured that the two of us will work together to serve you in the future! The nimble-minded Ablin was the first to speak, not forgetting to pull the stupid Yarezhkin on the side.
"Oh! Yes, we are all at the mercy of the general! Yaryzhkin hurriedly bowed as Ablin did.
"Good! That's right! Seeing that the two had the prototype of close cooperation, Jidu was very happy.
"Then let's get down to business! As you can see, this map of mine is not yet complete, mainly outside of this Suwu Lake, almost blank! Jidu pointed to the map again.
"Yes! What does the general command? We will do our best! Ablin seemed to understand a little, but this task of supplementing the map was indeed not his forte, and he really needed to work with Yarezhkin.
"Yes, I really hope that you will come together with the details of the west and north of Suwu Lake!" Jidu has entered a critical link.
"We are willing to serve the Great General! Loyalty to His Majesty, the supreme emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom! Ablin followed the example of a Qing soldier and saluted Jidu first and swore an oath. Naturally, Yarezhkin is now following in the footsteps of Ablin.
"Good! In that case, let this great general tell you how to be loyal to our emperor! Jidu rejoiced.
"Please make it clear to the general!" Ablin was unwilling to let Yarezhkin on the side seize the opportunity when the matter had already come to this point, and hurriedly asked for instructions.
"Good! Ablin, you can take all the fortresses you know along the way from Moscow to the east. Say it to me without falling. Yarezhkin. Tell me in detail the location of each city, the deployment of the troops in the camps, the armaments and firearms of the soldiers, and so on! Do you understand? Jidu divided labor according to the specific situation of the two.
Ablin has a good brain, but he doesn't know how to do military affairs. Yarezhkin is a rough military officer, but I'm afraid I can't remember how many walled cities I passed along the way! But after the two communicate with each other, it should be a fairly detailed summary of the western regional intelligence!
"Huh!"
Two envoys of the Rakshasa Kingdom. Learn what a soldier looks like. Say yes. It seems in China. No oath is as powerful as black and white! At the same time, learning from each other's strengths is also a very shrewd point for the Chinese! A Bukhara merchant and a Cossack leader realized these precious truths in the eyes of Zidu who had become trusting.
Thereupon. Soon, on the map of "Ti Zhi Ulan-Ude" in front of Jidu, the originally very empty western and northern regions were slowly embellished with signs and annotations, from less to more, from sparse to dense, although compared with the east and south, it is still not detailed, but after all, it is better than nothing!
Seeing that the markings on the map were becoming more and more complete, and it was basically the same as the information transmitted back by Jishiha in front of him, Jidu was in a good mood, and from time to time he praised the two former Rakshasas who had recently sworn allegiance, either to say that Ablin was in charge of the overall situation, or to praise Yarezhkin for knowing everything about the Rus' military service, and the two of them were very excited about "meeting a confidant".
"Well, it's finally getting results!" It was a full hour before Jidu stretched out in the light of the oil lamp.
"Come, sit down, all of you." Ji Du found that the two who had just made a new contribution were a little at a loss, and hurriedly ordered, and then shouted outside the tent:
"Come on, go to the army food!"
"Huh!" The soldiers outside the tent responded loudly, and in a short time, three sumptuous dinners were prepared and brought in. Jidu happily beckoned the two rakshasas to sit down, and chatted while eating.
"I say two, and the men in the army are all telling the truth. In my opinion, you can learn Manchu as soon as possible, so that you can be regarded as my own qualified people in the Qing Dynasty. While chatting, Jidu made a request, and the two were naturally resigned.
"Well, when the time comes, General Ben will let you enter the flag, and I will also set up a team of Alba people under my blue flag, Haluha!" Jidu boldly picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Yarezhkin also drank a full glass, and kept shouting that it was the first time that he had been able to drink such good wine in the many days he had been under the general's tent. Ablin was much more delicate in comparison, as if he was afraid that he would spit out the truth after drinking.
Actually, that's because Ablin heard a word that seemed familiar – Alba.
Ablin and Yaryzhkin knew that the expedition to Moscow had indeed established an "Albazino" castle in the Amur River valley in the distance, but they did not know that there was already this so-called "Alba team" in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, this is also what Ji Du learned from the court report delivered by the imperial court a few days ago. Of course, he naturally knew about the Rakshasa bandits' sacrifice of prisoners at noon, so he moved the idea of copying it as it was, in order to strengthen his own blue flag.
The Alba team, which had been established, seemed to have entered the yellow flag, which was the "Shangsan Banner", which was under the command of the emperor himself. His "blue flag" is one of the "five flags", if he waits until the future class teacher returns to the dynasty to cook and set up an Alba team, I am afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty, maybe Shunzhi will be taken over. Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the emperor is far away, cut first and then play, and directly incorporate it into his own command to make it a fait accompli. At that time, if the emperor wants to intervene, he really needs to weigh it carefully, after all, his own Lao Tzu is the "uncle" Prince Heshuo!
Jidu was very satisfied with his little abacus, and once again took a big sip of a bowl of wine, and said:
"At that time, one of you two will be the assistant leader, and the other will be the deputy, complement each other, haluha!"
The more Ji Du talked, the happier he became, and he almost opened his mouth. But one thing he is very clear about, although this blue-flaged "Alba team leader" is not necessarily Ablin or Yarezhkin, but with the more than 300 former Rakshasa "military personnel" he has now surrendered, it is more than enough to form a Rakshasa descending team.
"General Xie is coming! Then we won't have to be sent back to Moscow by you? ”
The heartless Yarezhjin never forgot what Jidu said just now, and thought that it was just a threat to coerce himself to set up a note, but now it is obvious that he has won Jidu's trust, so he makes a clever "rehash of the old things".
"Nope! If you want to sit in the Qing Dynasty, you have to go back! ”
After this reminder, Ji Du immediately retracted his somewhat forgetful demeanor just now, and corrected him seriously.
Ablin is so angry, if he still has the Yanling Sword in his hand now, he will definitely repeat his old tricks this time, making himself the only "surviving" Rakshasa envoy! - This Yarezhkin, what a pot can't be opened! Obviously, Ji Du was happy that he had forgotten the threatening and intimidating words that the big tent had just said to them, but after the kind reminder of the "lack of heart" Yarezhjin, the old matter was brought up again, and the attitude was more clear, and there was no room for any accommodation!
"What can you do, General, we have written a letter of guarantee according to your request!" Yarezhkin was even more annoyed than Ablin!
After a short period of close contact, Jidu had a preliminary understanding of the two of them - Ablin's scheming was definitely enough, and he seemed to pay more attention to the trade-offs of interests. Yarezhkin is a little simple-minded in comparison, but he is a straightforward person.
If the two of them are put together to form a "team", it should be Ablin who takes the idea, but Yarezhkin, who is honest and has no heart, if he can hold his "life" and let him be a loyal "insider", it is very suitable, just to contain the too smart Ablin!

"A limerick poem? Hidden Head
Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath
I was saying that there was an opportunity back then
The layout is a long-cherished wish
It's hard to come and go
Get up and spend a hundred years
Point out the suffering and diseases of the world
The edge of the town was razed to the sea
