Zhao Chuanxin had already gone to Maozi's freight yard to steal grain, hoarded it behind the wings, and asked people to guard it.

Maozi's grain, raising Maozi's soldiers, and building his Zhao Chuanxin's territory, maybe one day in the future, these people will fight Maozi with him.

After explaining, Zhao Chuanxin said a few words to the translator, and then went to move the ordnance along the Daxing-Anling Dongqing Railway.

He had to make many trips to carry the ordnance back, and he couldn't keep it on the hill all the time.

What did Zhao Chuanxin explain?

These people will definitely not be able to go to Hailar, where there are now so many Russian soldiers that the original barracks cannot fit them.

Badan'a led them on a trail from Mohe-Lenore, through a field of farmland, close to Hailar but keeping a safe distance.

Then they started shouting: "We don't do gray livestock......"

"After war comes the ...... peace"

By the time the sound reached Hailar, it was already loud.

But I can clearly understand what they are shouting.

People who don't know Russian naturally can't understand it, only Russians understand it.

When Putilov, Judanov, Wu Sadi, and Horvat, who had not left Hailar because of the lack of traffic, they heard the news.

By this time, the captives had gone far.

"Sukabule, lowly slave, how dare you ......"

There were already Russian soldiers who told him that it was their people who passed by and shouted slogans, apparently, these people had become prisoners.

There's nothing more infuriating than a backstab.

Horvat was silent for a long time, and then proposed, "Do you want to send cavalry to pursue?" ”

Putilov clenched his fists: "No, they are so blatant, this must be Zhao Chuanxin's trick, and we will encounter his ambush when we send troops." Now that the railway is not open, we cannot increase our troops, and Hailar and Manchuria together have only more than 6,000 troops, which cannot withstand attrition. ”

Wu Sadi held his stinky feet: "Major General Putilov is really wise. ”

Wu Sadi's praise made Putilov feel better.

His eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth: "Zhao Chuanxin, I want him to pay a painful price!" ”

"Send someone to inform the Manchurian-Charian garrison to attack Yubin Mansion at nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, and we will start to encircle Zhao Chuanxin today."

He believes that the only thing Zhao Chuanxin cares about should be the Xubin Mansion, and another advantage is that once the Xubin Mansion is broken, it will put huge psychological pressure on the people of the Five-winged Banner in the Hailar area, making them lose confidence in the Xubin Mansion and Zhao Chuanxin.

The ultimate goal of a military strike is to serve politics.

In addition to these few, there is also a foreigner.

This person was George Lynch, a war correspondent for The Times.

He didn't say a word, just silently paid attention to the record.

……

Badama and Shengfu handed over the prisoners.

Badanga said, "The prefect means that let them build roads for you, and first connect the roads between our two parts. ”

Shengfu hesitated: "Aren't you going to go to the north of Hailar River to graze next year?" Moreover, will these Russian soldiers be obedient? What will happen to the money and food they consume? ”

He was surprised in his heart, it turned out that Zhao Chuanxin had asked him to buy bricks and stones, which was to prepare for this time.

Badang'a whispered Zhao Chuanxin's original words.

Katsufuku was smart and thought of something: "So feasible? ”

Badanga nodded heavily: "If the prefect says yes, it will definitely do." ”

He was obedient to Zhao Chuanxin.

What did Zhao Chuanxin let them do?

Zhang Shouzeng came to the E-Lut Department.

Zhang Shouzeng led a group of public officials who were proficient in Russian to register the Russian soldiers.

Zhang Shouzeng made proofs to his subordinates and taught them how to do it.

"What's your name?"

"Mafalda Perez."

"Where do you live?"

"I am a Roma, wandered to Russia in Europe, and was captured as a soldier in the army."

The Roma are the Gypsies, but the Gypsies are a disparaging term for the Europeans, who call themselves Roma.

"How many people are there in the family?"

"My mother and my sister, but my mother is probably dead by this time, she is not in good health. My sister makes a living by divination......"

As a result, Zhang Shouzeng's words changed: "What's your name?" ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't speak.

Zhang Shouzeng said coldly: "Lying is meaningless to me, I will compare other people's records, and the end of lying will be miserable!" ”

Then the man said, "My name is Gary Levine, and I live in the mountains of Gradana, and I am not lying about the fact that I have only my mother and sister in the house......

Zhang Shouzeng's subordinates were impressed.

It's cunning.

They didn't know that this was all taught by Zhao Chuanxin.

Lying temporarily, full of loopholes, asking around, maybe the initial lie may not even be able to remember clearly.

If the other party can answer, Zhang Shouzeng has other tricks.

After registering several people in a row, everyone finally learned the ropes.

and all 387 people were registered.

Zhang Shouzeng didn't need an interpreter, he came directly to the crowd, and shouted with a copper loudspeaker: "Next, you need to carry out the voluntary labor that the captives should do." We will give you plenty of food to keep you fed. As long as you don't run, you won't be harmed. We will provide you with accommodation. ”

"When the war is over, we release all of you."

"The purpose of war is not to kill people, the purpose of war is peace."

"Our prefect advocates peaceful coexistence, he wants everyone to have enough food and warm clothes, he respects everyone, and gives everyone the dignity they deserve."

"In Hailar, everyone can read, trade, work, farm, take public transportation, and in the future we will build a theater, whether it is a farmer or a soldier, everyone can go in and watch."

"In our case, the soldier does not have to work for the nobles. There is no conscription here. ”

"Here, everyone is equal, and neither officials nor nobles are exempt from tax and have to pay taxes like ordinary people."

"However, we have a full salary here, and the salary is not low, which is enough to support the family."

These words made even Zhang Shouzeng himself feel awkward.

But he still obeyed Zhao Chuanxin's order and read according to the script.

Finally, he waved his hand and shouted, "Believe me, the war will soon be over, peace is coming, and you don't have to die on the battlefield." Now, Lord Katsufuku, the head of E-Rut, will give you the tools to start building the road. ”

When Zhang Shouzeng finished speaking, Shengfu asked someone to give tools.

Shengfu looked at the prisoners who honestly accepted the command to work, these people were more hard-working and hard-working than their bannermen, and he asked Zhang Shouzeng: "What is the idea of the prefect?" Will the war really end immediately? ”

Zhang Shouzeng shook his head and showed a mysterious smile as Zhao Chuanxin: "It won't end immediately, the prefect wants to train the troops, and he also wants the people of Hailar to find out that the army of Tsarist Russia is actually vulnerable, and at the same time it is necessary to increase the number of prisoners." ”

Katsufuku was puzzled.

The imperial court is afraid of Tsarist Russia like a tiger, but Zhao Chuanxin said that Tsarist Russia - the army is vulnerable?

He asked: "Then you just said that the war will end soon?" ”

Zhang Shouzeng stood with his hands in his hands, and said incomprehensibly: "The prefect is a masterpiece in the world, he said that as long as people think about it, people will not rebel, this is called painting a big cake." But this big cake can't easily fall from the sky, and after grinding them and smoothing their hearts, they can understand that the big cake is not easy to come by. Therefore, though there is enough food, you must use them with all your might, and those who steal and cheat will be whipped with a leather whip. Those who are obedient are to be rewarded and given some meat. The most obedient and conscientious people, it is not impossible to let them go back in advance. ”

Katsufuku inhaled with a hiss.

The heart said that the prefect also painted us a big pie?

He asked, "Do you really want to let them go?" ”

"Yes, there are two benefits to letting them go. First, let them go back to promote the good of the prefect, and let the other Russian soldiers know that surrendering and obeying will not be in danger of their lives. The status of the Russian soldiers is low, but they are not stupid and will always make choices in their favor. This is called disintegrating the enemy's fighting spirit from within. Can you imagine what it will be like to be on the battlefield in the future, when the mountains are full of white flags surrendered by Russian soldiers? ”

I blanched ......

Katsufuku is a smart man among the five wings.

But he still felt that he was too naïve at this time.

Playing with the heart and eye really can't play these Han people.

Terrible.

Zhang Shouzeng actually thought the same as him, and felt that Zhao Chuanxin was really insidious and cunning.

This is a bit of the meaning of Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Shu.

……

Zhao Chuanxin placed two mountain guns on the north side of the narrow mouth near the Molgrad River and fired at an oblique angle. Prepare an ambush for horse brigades to the north.

In this way, the mountain artillery will not accidentally hurt one's own people.

Two mountain cannons is the upper limit of the artillery he can carry, otherwise he will run away after the fight, and it is likely that the enemy will capture it.

Why the ambush on the north bank of the Hailar River? Because he thinks that Dan Van Putilov is not a fool, he will definitely not go along the railway, isn't he waiting to be ambushed by Zhao Chuanxin?

Because of the proximity to Chenba-Erhu, Zhao Chuanxin arranged a large number of eyeliner, and once the Russian soldiers left Hailar, they would immediately notify the herdsmen to drive the cattle and sheep away.

In addition, a large number of horse teams were placed in the province to help cover the evacuation of public officials in the province to the south in the event of an invasion by Russian soldiers.

Putilov thinks that the province is important, then he is very wrong.

The government of the Yubin Mansion is a fart, even if it is destroyed in the war, it will be rebuilt.

Besides, all the artillery in Manchuria-Lidu had been stolen by Zhao Chuanxin, and they had no other way but to set fire to the house.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't go anywhere, just stayed at Chen Ba Erhu.

There's a telegraph here.

Yang Sang Daxi received a telegram from the Yubin Mansion: "Your Excellency, the Yubin Mansion said that the Russian army has not moved. ”

Zhao Chuanxin was lying on a recliner, holding a map in a daze.

Wen Yan nodded and did not speak.

Why is there a telegraph here?

After Zhao Chuanxin cut off the telegram, Putilov did not dare to send someone to repair it.

Zhao Chuanxin then took the line in the middle of the river, pulling it to Chenba-Erhu on the one hand, and branching out a line from the south bank of the Hailar River to Yunbin Mansion.

The middle line segment is still the original telegraph line, and Zhao Chuanxin uses ready-made ones.

This is something that Putyrov and they never expected.

Chenba-Erhu has become a relay station, and it only takes more than an hour to communicate with the Solun Department to ride a fast horse.

Putilov is now blind, but Zhao Chuanxin is "deaf and clear-sighted".

Just looking at the map, suddenly a cavalry hurried into the tent: "Lord Prefect, the Russian army in Hailar has sent troops." ”

Yang Sangda was worried in his heart.

How many people are not afraid of war?

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned for a while, and there was silence in the tent.

When he put down the newspaper, even the air became alive.

"Let Che and Za prepare for war, Yang Sang Daxi telegraphed to the Yubin Mansion to let Hu Da police circles, and send people to explore the movements of the Russian soldiers again."

Zhao Chuanxin walked out of the tent and quietly watched the car and Za integrate the team, not at all like he was about to face a big battle.

……

At this time, the attention of the great powers in China was all focused on the Hailar region outside the Guan.

But not to mention them, even Tsarist Russia had a lot of difficulties in contacting its own people.

In addition to sending people to investigate nearby, only the Times sent war correspondent George Lynch to accompany the army to record.

And in the Forbidden City.

Cixi asked Aixin Jueluo Zaifeng: "How is Hailar doing over there?" ”

Aixin Jueluo Zaifeng shook his head: "Lafayette, it is reported that Zhao Chuanxin cut off the telegraph line of the Russians, and even they themselves cannot deliver the news. ”

"......" Cixi asked him, "Who do you think will win?" ”

Aixin Jueluo Zaifeng hesitated: "Looking at Zhao Chuanxin's past achievements, he is used to fighting in complex terrain, and he is the best in city and alley battles, and many people call him the roof god of war. There are many grasslands in the Hailar area, and the area around Yubin Mansion is even more visible at a glance, and I don't think Zhao Chuanxin will win so easily. ”

Cixi had no waves on her face, but she was crazy in her heart: let Zhao Chuanxin die, let Zhao Chuanxin die......

……

In the south, Sun Gongwu, Huang Xing and Shuangxi are gossiping.

Sun Gongwu asked Huang Xing: "Mr. Zhao fought with the Russians in Hailar, and now there is news from Changchun Mansion?" ”

Their power is now blossoming all over the country, but it is only ambushed underground.

Huang Xing shook his head: "Zhao Tangong has a good way to cut off the Russian railway and telegraph lines, and no one knows what happened there." ”

Shuangxi interjected on the side: "Don't think about it, the salary will win, he seems to be reckless, but he never fights uncertain battles." ”

Sun Gongwu and Huang Xing smiled and didn't take it seriously.

In their eyes, the words of double happiness are like children playing at home, only favoring their own people.

Not objective at all.

Shuangxi saw that they didn't think so, and he was anxious: "You don't believe it? In the past, we beat the dreadlocks, and more than a dozen people knocked down the mountain of 180 people, and no one believed it. But the salary knows how to fight, and we didn't die alone, so we won it easily. The Japanese won the battle against the Russians, and our insurance team fought against the Japanese, and everyone thought that we were hitting stones with eggs, but after a few battles, the Japanese were instigated. The most serious one, the thigh injury, is nothing more. Fighting a war is the same as doing anything else, touching the bypass, practice makes perfect, there are countless battles large and small, Mao Zi's ability I have seen, it is very common, that is, Cixi is afraid of them......"

The one who knows the combat effectiveness of Japan and Tsarist Russia best is the Lugang Town Insurance Team.

They cried and cried for their mother.

Although it is not too large-scale war.

However, even if Double Happiness broke the sky, Sun Gongwu and Huang Xing didn't think so.

Tsarist Russia has artillery, and under the cannon, the gods cannot escape.

Huang Xing said: "Tsarist Russia should not be underestimated, it is a big country, with abundant financial resources, and the troops deployed outside the customs alone can quickly reach the new army of the Qing court, and the weapons are more sophisticated, and the Russian soldiers are all big and round. No matter how powerful Zhao Tangong is, he is only one person, and within a few days of his visit to Hailar, the combat strength of the army he pulled up is far less than that of the insurance team. It is difficult to say who will win or who will lose. ”

"Hmph, you don't believe it, let's wait and see!"

Shuangxi's upright and negative appearance made the two of them quite funny.

But it is precisely this kind of character that can be trusted by them.

This kind of person is the easiest to dig out his heart and lungs, and he doesn't have the slightest crooked mind at all.

……

United States.

Washington.

Da Luo is about to step down.

But he continued to pay close attention to the situation in the Far East.

"Edi, is there any news from Qing Guo? Have Zhao Chuanxin and Tsarist Russia gone to war? ”

Da Luo's wife, Edith Roosevelt, shook her head: "There is no news, maybe it's soon." ”

She is different from Da Luo.

She and Zhao Chuanxin are friends, and regardless of their position, she doesn't want Zhao Chuanxin to lose.

But from Da Luo's position, she should hope that Zhao Chuanxin and Tsarist Russia will both lose, and even Zhao Chuanxin will die in battle.

But she couldn't convince herself to think that way.

She turned her head away so that Da Luo would not see the worry on her face.

The heart said: You must hold on!

……

Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Wilhelmina looked at the news coming from the Far East, and then looked at Juliana, and Shen Shen's words floated in her heart: "Father Ke." ”

Could it be that it will be fulfilled in this war?

The more I thought about it, the more troublesome I became, and finally simply tore the news to shreds and fell to the ground one after another.

The maid came in and was startled, but did not dare to ask, so she had to carefully collect the paper.

……

In the northwest, the desert flies in the sky.

Benjamin Goldberg looked at the telegram and slapped him on the thigh: "My master is so smart, he is almost ready to meet me." ”

Everyone was speechless, the master was about to become an apprentice? You really dare to say that Zhao Chuanxin is not going to kill you here.

Gulzar, who was most concerned about Zhao Chuanxin, hurriedly asked: "What happened?" ”

"Master cut off the Russian telegraph and the railroad tracks, and made a good move. In recent years, the greatest achievement of Tsarist Russia has been to lay a railway through the east and west, but they are too dependent on railways, and the lines are single, and their post roads are very bad. Maybe the master can't defeat tens of thousands of troops, but a little bit of cannibalization, how many people in Tsarist Russia are not enough to give away heads. ”

He didn't know that his master's operation was far more complicated than he thought.

His brain needs a huge amount of information, and he can build a picture based on the chemical reaction between information and information in order to spy on the whole picture.

But there is still too little news from Hailar.

……

Zhao Chuanxin was lecturing at this time.

"There are thousands of people in Tsarist Russia, and there may be a steady stream of troops coming from the east and north."

"Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!"

Ba Erhu, Solon, E-Rut and other men shouted in unison.

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "You should be afraid, how can you not be afraid?" Fear can turn you into good fortune, but I'm afraid of you but bragging and saying I'm not afraid? ”

The crowd laughed.

Zhao Chuanxin lit his cigar and restrained his smile: "If you are afraid, you will be banned, and you will be able to live if you are forbidden, and I will not let you die." You haven't practiced yet, and I'll take the risk of death for you. ”

What does this say?

There would be no commander who would die for the minions.

But Zhao Chuanxin is different, he really did it.

A group of men pursed their lips tightly.

Che Hezha is an impulsive person, and suddenly shouted: "Lord Prefect, I can die for you!" ”

The atmosphere is in place, and it is better than three taels of yellow soup.

The coal mine that Zhao Chuan's salary was divided made the head of the five wings double.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand with a cigar between his legs: "Don't go to death for anyone, live well, let Tsarist Russia die!" ”

"Let Tsarist Russia die!"

"Drive away the invaders!"

"Drive away the invaders!"

However, when the sentry came back for the second time, he told Zhao Chuanxin: "Lord Prefect, the Russian soldiers did not go to the north shore of Hailar, they walked along the railway. ”

"......" Zhao Chuanxin was incredulous: "Is Putilov a fool?" ”

"Lord Prefect, they didn't hide it and went straight out of the city. There was no artillery, light and simple, and the cavalry opened the way. ”

It's like judging the other party as a master, but the result is the rookie's move, which makes Zhao Chuan's salary completely miscalculated.

He immediately said: "Cross the Hailar River and go to Ulanqiu to ambush." ”

The battlefield is always changing rapidly, and Zhao Chuanxin stared at the map, and had already thought of various possibilities.

At this point, contingency measures are at your fingertips.

He was disappointed in Putilov.

But Putilov doesn't think so.

The army was marching out, and he was in the rear, talking to war correspondent George Lynch.

"You reporters are so bold that you dare to go out with the army." Putilov let out a sigh of relief, rubbed his hands and put on leather gloves and teased.

George Lynch didn't take this stubble, he was already a war correspondent when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, and he didn't have to show his courage here.

He asked: "Major General, are you not afraid that the enemy has expected it when you are walking along the railway like this?" ”

Putilov looked forward to his pride, and pointed at the troops who were marching with open arms: "Look, how many people are here?" In the grassland as far as the eye can see, this is absolute strength. I have already seen the map, and there is no shelter along the railway, only between Hailar and Hulun Lake, where the railway is adjacent to the forest, where one of our road guards was attacked by Zhao Chuanxin last time. Am I going to be fooled this time? ”

George Lynch was unfamiliar with the environment in the Hailar area, so he could only nod in agreement.

Indeed, when you go far out of the city, the view is quite wide.

And on the sand dunes about 3 miles behind Ulanqiu, Che and Za watched as the Cossack cavalry circled around Ulanqiu and headed east.

He asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Don't you do it?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin held the binoculars and said: "No, there is a large army behind, and the reason why there are many cavalry troops is that Putilov is worried that the few people will be intercepted and killed by me, and I expected that they must have gone to the forest near the Hailar River in front to investigate, because I ambushed their horse team there last time." ”

Che, a native of Che He, who was more familiar with the terrain than Zhao Chuanxin, roughly calculated through the binoculars, and found that the other side had returned three-quarters less cavalry, so he said, "They should have stationed some of the cavalry in the forest where you ambushed the convoy last time." This Putilov also has some skills, and knows how to echo each other with light and darkness. ”

Zhao Chuanxin's heart moved: "You walk through the sand in the south and look for a suitable sand dune ambush. When I open fire, their cavalry will definitely be furious and will come back to help. Ambush them with ease and wait, and then withdraw after a round of fighting. Can you complete this task? ”

Che and Za stalked: "Guaranteed to complete the task!" ”

Next month, before the Chinese New Year, find two more days to thank you, this month is too tired.

The ability is not big, the craftsmanship is not good, I write a few blindly, you can make do with it......
