Chapter 224: Monk

"Master Zhao, what did you say, this bird?"

Seeing this Hai Dongqing cooing, the monkey stared at his eyes full of curiosity.

Because this is not one or two times, it has happened many times along the way.

This kind of beast language that ordinary people listen to with a confused face, and his own Zhao Ye seems to understand it as soon as he hears it, and then quickly designates the next course of action through the communication of the big bird to avoid it.

And the masters of the code tracing technique can also confirm how wise Zhao Ye's decision is.

Because every time it can be proved, Zhao Ming is not untargeted every time he detours, it seems that this big bird seems to have become a sperm.

"It said it had seen a group of people a few miles ahead! It also said...."

"Huh!? How many miles can it tell? The monkey was startled, "By the way, what else did it say?" ”

"It says you're a pen!"

"Bad pen? What pen? ”

The monkey scratched his head, Zhao Ye's words seemed to be quite unfathomable, and he didn't understand it too much.

Zhao Ming just shook his head lightly.

Hai Dongqing naturally couldn't go into too much detail, he just deduced the distance based on the time when Hai Dongqing flew out last time.

But it can tell you the general situation, for example, one person cooes, if it is a small group of people, it is two cooes, if it is a large group of people, it is several times in succession.

This is all the tacit understanding that Zhao Ming has cultivated with it along the way.

At the beginning, I didn't go online, but after a few more attempts, coupled with the superb taming skills obtained from touching the corpse, I could barely report accurately.

Knowing the situation ahead, Zhao Ming hurriedly asked a reconnaissance team to touch forward.

About half an hour later, the reconnaissance team reported more detailed information.

There was indeed a group of men three miles ahead, and it was an army, but it was a strange army.

The costume is different from the formal dress of the ordinary Outer Mongolian army, and listening to their descriptions, it seems that they are wearing some high hats, and there are many lamas wearing red sleeves in the ranks.

The main reason for this clarity is that the reconnaissance team often saw some lamas and monks preaching from afar.

If there were people here more than ten years ago, they would find that in just a dozen years, the number of Taoist temples was far less than that of temples.

And this metamorphosis is still visible to the naked eye.

Zhao Ming also remembered that in Outer Mongolia in this era, it seemed that monks were the most active in Outer Mongolia.

It is difficult to go into details, but the establishment of Outer Mongolia was related to monks to a certain extent in the early days, involving the struggle for power between monks and local princes.

The princes and nobles of Outer Mongolia were more inclined to unify during Mr. Xu's reconquest, but in this way, the rights of the monks would inevitably be suppressed, so they found new backers, which gave rise to a series of problems.

Secondly, the decline of the population of Outer Mongolia is partly due to the influence of monks.

As the power of monks in Outer Mongolia grew, a large number of Outer Mongolian men became monks, while their monks did not marry.

From the beginning to the end of the previous dynasty, the population of Outer Mongolia has been plummeting.

"Ribs, whose people do you think the army can be stationed here?" Zhao Ming simply asked the locals.

Outer Mongolia is now divided into four departments, two districts, two administrative regions, and four large tribes are in charge of countless large, medium and small tribes under their command.

In the end, it was under the command of the Great Cullen of Ussuri Terrace, and the beggar department seemed to be strong, but in fact it was just the first-echelon nobles under the command of the great nobles of the Saiyin Noyan department.

"Zhao Ye.... This could be a nearby coercion army.

Generally speaking, if there is a battalion of foreign troops in a place, there must be at least three Outer Mongolian Commanders in the vicinity, who are responsible for basic defense and suppression. ”

After a moment's thought, the ribs quickly made a report.

Zhao Ming bowed slightly, letting the reconnaissance team continue to screen, and at the same time, he was hesitating whether to detour or eat this team directly.

With a wave of his hand, Hai Dongqing on his shoulder took off again, and flew in the previous direction again, going farther away to reconnoitre.

"It seems that the situation in Outer Mongolia is more complicated than expected, but this is not something I can get involved in."

Zhao Ming shook his head.

"It's a good thing not to mix, we can only hand over this kind of thing to the head for a headache." Zhang Kai nodded again and again, he could be as simple as he could anyway.

It's better to just turn around and leave, and don't even clash with foreigners.

Otherwise, according to Zhao Ming's urine, the ghost knows what kind of hanging will develop into in the future.

At this time, near the Xinwusi Coal Mine, it was about thirty miles away from Zhao Ming's department.

With the excavation of coal mines and the arrival of industrial facilities from Russia, the area has gradually developed from a barren land to a market town.

Many Mongolian locals are engaged in various trades here.

After all, there are all kinds of specialties sent by foreigners, and there are also a small number of generous foreigners to purchase.

Maybe the herders raise cattle and sheep for a whole year, but it is better to do business here for a day.

The best-selling area here is the horse market, cattle and sheep are not uncommon in Russia, but horses belong to military supplies.

Since the end of World War I, Russia has always attached great importance to logistics and transportation, and as Outer Mongolia gradually fell into control.

A large part of their transportation pressure is put on horses, and the import of horses from Outer Mongolia is one of them.

As soon as the herdsmen sent their horses here, they were soon purchased by Russian officers at a price that was not favorable.

But for the Outer Mongolians, who have almost no trade channels, it is already a rare huge amount of money.

Secondly, the most popular thing here is the kiln.

The town has only been built for less than two years, but there are more than 100 kilns of all sizes.

Most of the main consumers were Russian soldiers, not only those stationed here, but also Russian garrisons from other nearby locations.

As long as everyone has a bath, they all come to the nearby market town to consume and play.

"Haha! Dmitry, aren't you kid going to make money and go back to marry a wife? Why are you still learning from us? ”

A second lieutenant shook the cigarette in his hand and smiled and grabbed the young young subordinate beside him.

The other party Xu was coming to this kind of occasion for the first time, and his face was a little red.

"No, Sir Andrei, I'm just here to meet normal physiological needs, not to mention that this is my first time, and I won't come often in the future.

I'll send most of the money back. The young soldier blushed and argued.

"Hehe, you don't understand, as long as this kind of thing is experienced for the first time, even if I don't bring you here in the future, you will come secretly, little Dmitry."

The middle-aged lieutenant named Andre laughed and teased, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He was as young as Dmitry in front of him, thinking that he could save money, but unfortunately, the girls here will empty your wallet like hollowing out your body.
