Chapter 384 The Monster Who Eats Two Eggs in One Meal
The Kuaijiao Station is also called Anbangduhong Station in Manchu, which means Jiaohe Ferry. This is the fourth stop of the "seven stations and six cards" on the Wula to Ningguta Post Road in Jilin.
This is located at the intersection of Saiqiwoji and Namuwoji from the Xingkou of Zhangguangcailing. It is the only channel to enter the Songnen Plain from the Mudanjiang River Basin. It is traversed by the Bohai State Yingzhou Road, Khitan Road, Xixiangzhou from the Yuan Dynasty to Yongming City, and the northeast land route of Nadan Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty.
Transportation roads of different eras intersect and overlap here, time and space spanning more than a thousand years. However, the hereditary place names remember the vicissitudes of the ancient road.
The reason why Naqitai chose the negotiation site here was that it was only sixty-five miles away from the Rafa Station behind him, and eighty miles away from the Russian Mohesuoluo Station (Manchu language, Yishuang) occupied by the Northern Navy. Compared with the two sides, if there was any accident, the Qing army's reinforcements could arrive faster than the Northern Navy.
The 705-mile post road was only 235 miles away from the Qing Dynasty, and Zhao Xin had to walk 470 miles from Ninggu Tower.
On these more than 400 miles of post roads, the North Navy each has a platoon of garrisons at Shalan Station, Bierhanhe Station, and Russia-Mohesoluo Station. They usually contact the rear and mainly rely on radio stations set up at Russia-Mohesoluo Station. As for the other three stations, they all transmit messages by riding horses or pulling sleds. Only by taking advantage of the opportunity to repair the road in the spring of next year will telephone lines be set up between each station.
As of now, that is, in the 53rd year of Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty had 23 post stations in the jurisdiction of the General Mansion of Jilin and 81 post stations in the entire northeastern region north of Shanhaiguan.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty's rough territory management, the Qing emperor in Beijing relied on these post stations and rivers as dense as spider webs to firmly control the entire Northeast land.
At present, this website has been broken, and the Qing court's rule in the vast areas in the middle and lower reaches of Heilongjiang was fragmented by Beihai Town, and it was impossible to form an effective rule again.
Liu Yong and his party set out from Wula, Jilin, arrived at the Guijiao Station on a rare sunny day. In the cold north wind, the sun in the sky shot hazy rainbow-like light columns around.
On the hills, the low wind rolled up the soft snow, making rustling sounds in the bare forest. The vast snow field bordered by the horizon was very clear, only the east of the foot of the mountain, and the snow field at the end of the horizon was filled with smoke, covering the purple mirage.
Several low-level officials riding on horseback looked at the scene in front of them and said that this was a good omen. It seemed that this trip would be smooth.
But Liu Yong, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the misty purple color, but frowned. As a famous master in the Qing Dynasty, Liu Yong was naturally well-read and well-known. He remembered that "The Majesty of the Etiquette" said that a monarch rides on water and a king, and his politics is peaceful and peaceful, and the scenery is seen.
What is Jingyun? To put it bluntly, it is four words, clouds are bright. It is recorded in history that after the second monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Cheng of Zhou, quelled the Three Supervisors (killed Guan Shu, released Cai Shu, and deposed Huo Shu as a commoner). He saw the blue clouds appear on the river bank, which was Jingyun.
Liu Yong put down the curtain and recalled the news that Qitai had returned. Since Zhao Xin defeated Rakshasa, he has been calling for support under his jurisdiction. But this man was unmoved at all. He was still working hard to build water conservancy farmland and expand roads, as if he was like the Ming Taizu's attitude of "building high walls and accumulating grain".
Moreover, according to the information obtained by the spies, the Li Dynasty even sent envoys to communicate with him in private, but Zhao Xin asked the Li Dynasty for the land of Jiangyuan, and acted as if he would not give up until he gave the land.
No matter how Liu Yong looked at it, he felt that Zhao Xin was incompatible with the etiquette system and was very strange. If it were someone else, he would have been hooked up with Li Chao long ago.
"He doesn't have that many people, what do he do if he wants so much land? Can he keep it?"
After thinking deeply, someone outside the car said in a deep voice: "Sir, you have arrived at the retreat."
When Liu Yong heard this, he stopped the mixed thoughts, lifted the curtain and looked out, and a cold wind blew straight into his cheeks, causing Liu Yong to bare his teeth.
At the estuary of the river a hundred and ten parts in front, a house made of bricks and stones is clearly visible, and a group of walls built with wooden fences form a courtyard of sixty feet in radius.
At this time, the two assistants who led the vanguard of the Qing army arrived in advance, as well as local pens and posts, led the urging, Wailang and Matou (the former is responsible for documentary work, and the latter is responsible for cattle and horse affairs) all went out to welcome the imperial envoy.
Because Liu Yong had been sitting in the sedan chair for too long, he got off the carriage with the help of his servants. His two slightly circled legs moved two heavy steps on the ground, and said to an assistant leader with a little confused expression: "Have Zhao Ni's man been here? Why didn't he see him?"
"Reply to the words of the adults," the assistant leader knelt on one knee and clasped his fists and said, "That adult came yesterday afternoon and took people to the northeast early this morning. He has been stationed in the northwest for many years and is not familiar with the mountains, rivers and rivers here. The adults will stay to welcome him."
"Where is the situation of the defense?" Liu Yong had recovered a lot after a while, and the originally confused triangular eyes gradually returned to their spirits.
"The 500 troops of the Forward Battalion have already set up defenses on the hillside to the west, and a thousand cavalry are also laid in the forest south of the post station. Whenever there is any movement, you can cross the river to help in less than a stick of incense."
Liu Yong said with a serious expression: "Although we are not here to fight, we still cannot be careless. Zhao Ni is extremely cunning and must be given up more."
"Yeah! I will obey the order of the Lord!"
At this time, Zhao Xin and a battalion had already set off from the Russian Mohesuoluo Station. In addition to the troops walking on the post road, two reconnaissance teams led by Elu were also conducting reconnaissance in the forests and hills on both sides.
Cao Peng rode a horse for several days, and his thighs and buttocks were sore that his saddle was worn. When he set out to get on the horse in the morning, the guy looked in pain and muttered, "You know, you're so tired of riding a horse, you won't come."
Zhao Xin is actually not much better than Cao Peng. He rarely rides a horse. However, he has to endure it in front of his subordinates and admits it even though he has to endure it in pain.
The eighty-mile mountain road was not far from the paper, but it was actually very difficult to walk. The group walked until it was almost dark and it took only 40 miles. The next day, after the sun came out, it continued to rush, and it was almost ten o'clock when the Qing army sentry and the troops were exploring the troops.
After the two sides contacted each other, the Qing army team guided the front, and the Northern Navy advanced along the post road behind. It only arrived near the post station at the mouth of the Tuijiaohe River after 2 noon.
Zhao Xin did not agree to go to the post station to rest. He knew what Liu Yong and Na Qitai would play. He could not defeat it on the battlefield, and it was common to play tricks below. So he led his team to a field east of the post station to camp.
It was still the same as before, first cleared out an open space to set up a large tent, and then Zhao Xin went in and wandered around, and it was filled with supplies for building the camp.
This time, Naqitai finally knew why the North Navy camp was built so quickly.
The guy stood on a high platform inside the wall of the post station, holding a monocular lens in his hand to check carefully. He saw a guy in a dark blue coat and several people digging in the field hundreds of steps away from the Northern Navy camp.
After a while, an officer from the Northern Navy crossed the Guijiao River and said a few words to a Qing general on his side. Then Na Qitai saw his subordinates running towards the post station.
"Sir! Those guys said they wanted to blow up the soil later!"
"What? Breaking the soil?" Na Qitai didn't react and looked at his subordinates blankly.
"They said it was too cold and the ground was too cold and could not be dug, so they had to use gunpowder to explode."
When Na Qitai heard that he wanted to use gunpowder to blow it up, he quickly said to his personal soldiers: "Go and say to Lord Liu, don't be shocked!"
At this time, Liu Yong had already spread the word of integrity in his official position as a figure similar to Bao Qingtian. These Eight Banners soldiers outside the pass were also familiar with each other, so the officers and soldiers who accompanied him respected Liu Yong very much from top to bottom. If it was because of the group of traitors who set off firecrackers, then Qitai would be to blame.
After a while, Liu Yong, who had heard the news, arrived. He walked up to the platform, took the telescope handed by Qitai, and said, "What are these guys doing?"
"Mr. Liu, they are going to dig soil and camp."
Liu Yong said in surprise: "Isn't this wood all over the mountains and fields enough?"
Naqitai said: "From the contacts between me and Zhao Ni, this person will always have unexpected actions."
Liu Yong said "Oh" and stopped talking, looking at the opposite side intently.
After almost a moment, Liu, who was on the platform, heard a long whistle from the other side of the river. Some of the North Navy soldiers who were originally standing suddenly lay on the ground, and then a rumbling sound like thunder sounded on the ground.
"Not good!" Na Qitai hurriedly pulled Liu Yong down. He thought that the next second, the fire must be accompanied by the earth and rocks, and maybe it would hit the station.
But after a while, there was no movement. The two of them looked up again and saw that the fields were filled with smoke and dust, and they could not see what was happening. When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, they saw that on a small field of two acres, the ground that was frozen as hard as iron plates was like being plowed by a huge iron plow, all turned into pieces of soil.
Next, the scene that made Liu and the two even more dumbfounded appeared!
Next to a group of busy North Navy soldiers, two monsters rumbling and roaring stretched out their 10-meter-long yellow giant arms, shoveled the soil on the ground through the bucket in front of the giant arms, and then walked a long way, then poured it into square baskets woven with unknown materials.
The square baskets were arranged in a straight line of more than ten feet, about two feet high, and there seemed to be a bag inside, and the shoveled soil was put in these bags.
When the soil in a square basket was almost filled, Qitai woke up and found that the North Navy camp was built like this, which was really unimaginable. No wonder, after only one night, a camp rose from the ground!
At this time, the west bank of the retreating Jiao River was full of Qing troops watching the fun, and they were stunned. Some people even forgot that the two sides were hostile and wanted to walk across the ice to see it carefully, but they were driven back by the North Navy, who was responsible for the guards on the other side.
Several sharp-eyed Eight Banner Armored Soldiers shouted: "There is someone in that monster!"
"God! Is this thing a man fucked?"
"Good guy, with such a lot of strength, I'm afraid I'll have to have dozens of kilograms of a shovel! How much material do I have to feed this usually?!"
A veteran of the Eight Banners seemed quite experienced. After thinking about it, he said, "I guess I won't be able to eat grass. I have to feed black beans and add two raw eggs every day!"
Several flag soldiers around him were stunned: "You still have to eat eggs?! Who can support me? It's better to raise two more cows with this money."
"Raising cattle? Can your cattle have the strength?"
Liu Yong pointed blankly at the two monsters with yellow and black colors, constantly stretching their giant arms, and was stunned: "This group of thieves are indeed skilled and skilled, but they can be called amazing. If the farmers had this artifact, they would not know how much the labor of purging land would save?"
The noisy Qing army watched the river bank for a long time, until Qitai saw that it became more and more distorted, so he ordered a few people to take back the station and beat the military sticks. The group of people dispersed in disappointment.
After dark, the camp of the Beihai Army was still brightly lit and the figures were noisy. Liu Yong was curious about how the lights could be so bright, so Qitai explained the electric lights he saw in Beihai Town, which scared Liu Yong. Even the lightning in the sky could be used as usual, which was nothing like a mortal but a demon!
After the North Navy's camp walls were all built, the "two-headed" monsters disappeared into the other party's camp.
After nightfall, the Northern Navy had dinner here, and except for the guard post and the swimming post, everyone fell asleep peacefully. However, the Qing army was so upset that it was hard to sleep all night by the scene during the day. Many people, including Liu Yong, did not go to bed until the early morning.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The next morning, after breakfast between the two sides, the officers in charge of contact met by the river to communicate on the negotiations.
It was still the same. The Northern Navy set up a tent with wind on all sides on the east bank of the Guijiao River, and surrounded it with curtains. The Qing army sent people to place seven or eight braziers around as a place for negotiation.
After 10:00 in the morning, Liu Yong, Na Qitai and several Eight Banners generals led more than 20 vanguard battalions to cross the river to negotiate. At this point, Liu Yong finally met Zhao Xin who had been waiting for several months.
Liu Yong, who is over 60 years old this year, is a solid figure, has a long black and red face, a pair of bright triangle eyes under the broom's thick eyebrows. He has a thick beard on his lips, a goatee on his chin, and not many wrinkles on his face. He wore a ruby-topped winter hat, a five-clawed robe with a yellow jacket on his head, and a pair of black high-top white thick-soled soap boots on his feet, without any drag.
Zhao Xin, who is just over 31 years old, is tall, her face is clean and clean, and she doesn't even have a beard. Her thick eyebrows are bright and energetic, her nose is firm, and the corners of her mouth are slightly raised, looking as if she is smiling and not smiling. He and Cao Peng are both wearing a winter camouflage uniform from the North Navy, and she looks particularly strong under the thick coat.
"You are Zhao Xin, who pretends to be Zhu Ming?"
"Haha, you are Mr. Liu Chongru, right? It's indeed Qianlong's humeral minister! Sorry, I've been repairing Rakshasa, which has left you waiting for a few months."
Zhao Xin looked at the man opposite him who was famous for his obedience to the public and law-abiding, honest and honest, and was praised by many film and television works in later generations. At the same time, he was the biggest culprit of the "Yizhulou Case on Dongtai", and his heart was quite complicated.
