Chapter 649: The Last Road to Duerjia
After Arsai left, the entire inn became boiling, and torches lit up in the yard. The inns were busy boiling water and killing sheep, and then took the horses to the horse shed, unloaded the horse harness and feeding them. As for the more than 100 men of Duerjia, who arranged a few people to patrol, others occupied the dormitories of the inns, lying on the warm kang one by one, and even shouted to drink wine.
Du Erjia and his several personal soldiers were urged by the post station leader to come to the room where they lived. After entering the room, the personal soldiers wanted to help him take off his armor. Du Erjia raised his hand to stop him, sat on the northern kang, looked around, and then reached out to touch the quilt, and then asked the leader who was waiting outside the door to urge him in.
Although it was more than fifty miles away from Qiqihar, and it was already night, Duerjia was still uneasy. The experience of this guy being captured at the Mongolian River Station made him suspicious.
The leader urged Lian to crawl and roll into the house. After kowtowed, Duerjia stared at him for a while before he said in a deep voice: "What's your name?"
"Slave Shulu, please pay tribute to the army!"
"Where is the pen style here?"
"I'm sick for several days. His wife is taking care of her. I just said that I would come over to pay my respects to Dajunmen. I said that you don't make Dajunmen unhappy like you, but it's more important to be healthy and well-being."
"Is there anything unusual around the inn these days?"
"If you go back to the army gate," the leader gui Shulu was short and his voice was full of energy. He said with a beard raised: "Except for a few wild wolves who came the day before yesterday, took away two sheep, and there was nothing else."
"Where is the North Pirates?"
Shu Lu said blankly: "I haven't heard of it."
When Duerjia saw Shu Lu answering in a slight manner, his face was completely different, and he waved his hand and said, "Go down, I'll call you if you have something to do."
After sending the leader away, Du Erjia took off the heavy sprig armor under the service of his personal soldiers, took off the iron plate hanging on his chest, and took off another layer of chain mail, and was wearing a piece of it. When he sat cross-legged on the hot northern kang, he drank the hot tea handed over by his personal soldiers, he felt much lighter all over, and then a sense of fatigue came. However, he did not dare to sleep at all, and he still asked the captain of his personal soldiers to take people out for inspection, and told the other party to be vigilant.
However, what Du Erjia did not expect was that in the kitchen at the station more than ten minutes later, the chef who was responsible for cooking mutton soup was pouring a packet of white crystal powder into the boiling pot, and then stirring it hard with a large iron spoon. The Shu Lu, who was talking to him, was standing at the door of the kitchen, looking around.
The chef muttered, "Captain, isn't it too much to put a whole bag in? What should I do if I drink these guys to death?"
Shu Lu walked into the kitchen and whispered: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and let others out, and notify others to prepare!"
"Okay!"
After a while, bowls of mutton soup that was full of fragrance and seductive salivating was placed in front of Duerjia. He took a sip of the soup, his brows couldn't help but spread and praised: "Damn it, this soup is really not bad, it's not worse than the chefs in my house!"
Shu Lu raised his waist and smiled on his face, "I dare not be a servant! People in the wild villages and ridges are nothing more than putting more ginger... The army gate is fragrant, which is the loyalty of the servant."
"Where are the others?"
"Don't worry, the slave has already brought you over to the house! I will bring you foot washing water after I finish eating!"
When Shu Lu went out, Duerjia said to several personal soldiers who couldn't help swallowing their saliva: "I can't eat such a large basin, so you can hurry up and keep it hot!"
When a few personal soldiers heard this, they hurriedly thanked the master for their grace. Each of them served half a bowl and started eating and drinking...
Half an hour later, the entire inn gradually became quiet from the noise, and the flames of the torches in the courtyard were blown by the faint night wind. At this moment, Shu Lu brought a few guys who looked like postmen to the door of Duerjan's house.
"Da Junmen? Da Junmen?" No one answered, and snoring was sounding in the room.
Shu Lu pulled out the dagger from his waist and stuck it into the crack of the door. He slowly pushed the door latch away with the tip of the knife. He pushed the door gently and heard a "squeak" sound, and the door opened.
With the candlelight blown by the wind, Shu Lu saw Duerjia tilting sideways on the kang, sucking, and several of his personal soldiers also fell to the ground and slept soundly.
"Do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several subordinates who were like wolves and tigers rushed in and tied up Duerjia and others in a row.
The same scene was also staged in several other Qing army resting rooms. In a separate bedroom, Arsai and a companion worked together to tie a Qing army leader with his hands on his back. Perhaps because his arm was twisting, the leader suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Arsai blankly. However, because the mutton soup was added, the man was still a little drowsy and exhausted, and he couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
"Help me get up..."
Arsai was shocked to see this, and he stretched his right hand to his side, picked up a wooden stick as thick as a forearm, raised his hand and gave the collar a fierce head. With a "bang", the guy immediately fainted. After everything was done, Arsai wiped the sweat beads of his forehead with lingering fear.
For this young man who was only in his twenties, he never thought that he would rebel before the morning three days ago. Although his ancestors were also Han people who were exiled to this place, more than a hundred years have passed, and it has nothing to do with him whether he is a vengeance or not.
Speaking of which, Alsai's Chinese name is Cui Shilu, and his ancestors were Geng Jingzhong's old subordinates in the "Three Feudatories".
From the 21st year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, in order to deal with Tsarist Russia entrenched in Yaquesa and solve the problem of military supplies transport from Shengjing to Heilongjiang City, the Qing court spent four years to build a 1,711-mile post road from Wula, Jilin to Aihui City, with a total of 25 stations, which are called the "Da Station Road".
In the 25th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the Qing court transferred 750 surrendered soldiers and generals after the "Three Feudal Rebellion" from the pass, and together with their families, they were organized into thirteen teams. Under the escort of the Eight Banners soldiers, they were sent to various post stations in Heilongjiang and Jilin to serve. At this point, these Han people became post stations who had been stationed in post stations for generations.
These people are military, but they are not in the flag or take on the expedition. Instead, they have long been responsible for the transfer of official documents from the capital to the northernmost end of Heilongjiang in a militarized form, transportation, escort prisoners and other servants. Because they have lived in frontier areas for a long time, their father died and their son succeeded. In order not to be looked down upon, many people have given the name of Manchu.
In another time and space history, it was not until 1907 that the "Three Generals' Offices" of the three eastern provinces were abolished and renamed the provincial government, and the bannermen were classified as civilians and their status declined, which was changed back to the Chinese name.
Three days ago, a reconnaissance team from the North Navy came to Temudhe Station. After killing the leader and urging him, Bi Tieshi and several postmen who took the lead in resisting, more than ten other people surrendered one after another, and Cui Shilu was among them.
The captain of the reconnaissance team was named Bamangong, the leader who had visited Durga before urging "Shulu". Eight years ago, Zhao Xin and his team took the lead in taking over the Karen Station in Fuldan City in order to fight Fukang'an's army.
At that time, Bamangong was a bachelor who had a meal but had no meal. He was moved by the Northern Navy's treatment, so he took the lead in surrendering. He later served as a guide to the Ministry of Civil Affairs' survey team, then joined the Northern Navy, and later joined the reconnaissance team.
To put it simply, in order to facilitate deep access to enemy rears, most of the reconnaissance teams of the North Navy have braids, and they must be familiar with the living habits of border residents and the Qing army, speak and behave, and understand the routes of various stations.
As a former station manager, because he knew the system of the station very well, Bamangong used his personal experience to admonish and enlighten Cui Shilu and others.
It should be noted that the Qing court had strict restrictions on the scope of activities of the station people. In order to prevent these people from escaping, they required that their residence should not exceed the service location and their family members should not travel more than eight miles. Therefore, the station people's changes to the outside world can only be obtained through the mouths of messengers who come and go.
The problem is that the Northern Navy has made sufficient preparations for this "spring offensive". Once launched, it will be as fierce as the wind, and there is no time for the Qing army to react along the way. The task of the reconnaissance team is to take down the post station along the way in advance and intercept the messenger who conveyed the military newspaper. In this way, the post station behind has no idea what happened in front.
When he learned that the Northern Hai Army was about to reach Qiqihar, Cui Shilu, whose family lived in Qiqihar City, suddenly panicked. In order to get the safety of his family, he first expressed his effectiveness; with the first one, the others also expressed their obedience because of the safety of their family.
After two days of contact, the stationmen realized that the Beihai Army was not the "overseas barbarians" mentioned by the imperial court at all; among them were Han people, Manchus, Daurs, Hezhes, Oroqen people, all kinds of people. When they learned about the life of the former Qing Dynasty stationmen under the rule of Beihai Town, they all yearned for it.
Fifty acres of land, an incredible "salary", a doctor who was sick, helped the bachelor find a wife, and children could go to school to study and become scholars, and even whined and could run hundreds of miles a day... All the examples deeply stimulated them. You should know that it would be fine if you suffer for the rest of your life, and no one wants his descendants to continue to live such a life and will never be able to raise their heads.
While chatting with Ba Mangong and others, Cui Shilu learned about the salary and treatment of ordinary North Sea soldiers, and was extremely envious. He felt that if he could become a North Sea soldiers, would he be able to follow him to return to Fujian where he was from his ancestral home to take a look?
At noon, Bamangong and his team received a telegram from the 19th Regiment, informing them of the situation of the battle in Qiqihar, and asked them to stop the Qing army fleeing south. Considering that his team had ten talents and had not brought much ammunition in order to move forward lightly, Bamangong decided to disguise himself as a postman and act according to the opportunity.
Who would have thought that the Heilongjiang General from the Qing Dynasty was actually arrested!
Duerjia woke up shortly after being tied up. You should know that in order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Bamangong not only tied his hands and feet with a "pig trotter buckle", but also tied his mouth with a rope to prevent this guy from biting his tongue and committing suicide.
When the groggy Duerjia felt that his hands and feet could not move and his mouth could not be closed, he was so scared that he was scattered, and a layer of white sweat appeared on his back and forehead!
Before he could think about where he was, his hands and feet twisted desperately, and a whimpering sound came from his mouth. However, the binding method of "pig trotter buckle" was to get tighter and tighter. Soon, he heard a man say coldly: "Da Junmen, don't put that effort into it, you can't get it!"
Duerjia was stunned for a moment when he heard this, feeling that his voice was a little familiar, so he wriggled like a big bug, and soon he saw that the one standing in front of him was the previous "leader urging Shulu" who was servile to him and like a dog. However, at this time, "Shulu" crossed his arms in front of his chest, and his lips had a disdainful look. His eyes looked at him like a lamb to be slaughtered on the chopping board.
"Introduce yourself! I am Bamangong, now the squadron leader of the Third Squadron of the North Navy Reconnaissance Brigade, and have been waiting for you here three days ago."
Duerjia felt dizzy and thought to himself that it was indeed the Northern Navy. Why did he bear his luck like this? He was actually captured twice!
At this time, I heard Bamangong say again: "Duerjia, let's rest first, it's not a few days before you can sleep. Tomorrow, someone will come to pick you up from Qiqihar."
Duerjia's eyes were fierce, and he wanted to eat the guy in front of him, but everything was futile...
Yang Zhongming, the commander of the 19th Regiment, soon learned about the capture of Duerja. He was overjoyed. He arranged a company overnight to ask them to ride horses to the Temudhe Inn early in the morning and take Duerja back.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This person has already thought about it. He is going to hold a public trial meeting with the military and civilians in the city, and then hang the Qing Dynasty royal family on the gallows!
One day later, on April 8, Li Rui and Jiang Fan led two other regiments and artillery battalions to Qiqihar. In addition, a logistics transport brigade composed of more than 3,000 ordinary people arrived with the troops.
These people were all Han people, Daur people, Ewenki people and Oroqen people from Heilongjiang City, Humal Town and other places. In order to repay the kindness of Beihai Town to them over the years, everyone drove their own reindeer or horses, carrying a full of supplies, and sailed more than ten miles on the post road.
Jiang Fan, a scholar who was determined to learn from Ma Fubo of the Han Dynasty, is already 33 years old this year. This age is still young in modern people, but in the eyes of the ancients, it is already middle-aged. You should know that the average life expectancy during the Qianlong period was only 45 years old.
Since he shaved his head and joined the army, although Jiang Fan has always served as a staff officer, he has participated in many battles. Especially after experiencing the "Battle of Usolier", he finally realized that the form of war is no longer the feather fan, lunar scarf and the general holding a spear in history books.
During his two years in Siberia, he carefully studied the infantry tactical manuals and previous combat records of the Northern Navy, and had some experience in the tactical use of the Northern Navy. During this period, he went to the Cossack Emirates with the staff to assist Alexander Pugachev in formulating a combat plan against the Tsarist Russian army and participated in the siege against the Omsk Fortress.
Because Jiang Fan was one of the few "high-level intellectuals" within the Northern Navy, Zhao Xin intended to train him to become a versatile military and political communication, so he allowed him to participate in negotiations with Tsarist Russia to improve his experience. If he had no trouble as a deputy this time, Zhao Xin planned to let him stay in Baiboer City for two years.
In Zhao Xin's opinion, if a Jiang Fan is used well, it will be much better than promoting a time traveler, and there is no need to worry about the other party's thoughts. Through the years of understanding, he saw that Jiang Fan is still a literati with old-style ideas in his bones. His ideal is nothing more than galloping through the world, winning success, reporting to the king, and pursuing the common people. Since that is the case, then provide him with a platform to show his ambitions with all his heart.
On April 9, Jiang Fan, led two regiments and two artillery companies, began to head westward towards Hulunbu Yuer, who was five hundred and sixty miles away.
In order to achieve the strategy of "closing the door and fighting dogs", the troops stationed in Kulun and Baiboer cities of each sent a battalion. They will meet in Chuktu and then head east along the Chuktu East Road Station. The two sides plan to meet in Hulunbu Yuer City.
According to the combat plan formulated by the General Staff, after taking over Qiqihar, Li Rui will lead the 19th Regiment and the 20th Regiment to stay for a while, waiting for the end of the spring flood ice period.
At that time, the two regiments would take large and small warships of the water camp and quickly head south along the Nenjiang River, taking Bodune on the north bank of the Songhua River, and then heading east to take Lalin, and finally conquering Alchuka and liberating the entire Heilongjiang area.
