Yang Guli was in trouble, and it was Yuzhu's turn to show off his power.
Yuzhu said coldly: "How can the emperor's will be trivial?"
Yangguli quickly knelt down, kowtowed heavily, and said in a trembling voice: "I have no intention of neglecting the emperor's will, but the reindeer are indeed free-range and very difficult to catch..." He explained a lot.
Yuzhu secretly found it funny. Yuzhu had seen many people like Yang Guli.
It's really just like what Kangxi said, he is afraid of power but not ethical.
In fact, when Kangxi defeated the Rakshasa people, he also dealt with Sauron's tribe and killed many people, thus frightening them.
The elite of Sauron's tribe are mainly in the light cavalry.
The warriors under the Emperor of France included both elite guards and hussars.
The Qing Dynasty's cannons were powerful, and the Junggar guns had long range and fast fire. This was the root cause of the Qing-Zhungar War, which lasted for nearly seventy years.
In the last battle of Ulanbutong, the Qing army under Fu Quan tried to use heavy iron-core bronze cannons to attack, but the result failed and they were defeated by Galdan.
In the Battle of Zhaomodo, Galdan still adopted the classic Junggar strategy of camel formation defense and cavalry flank attack.
However, the Qing army had learned its lesson and used lighter cannons with sufficient numbers. As a result, Galdan's camel formation was blown into pieces by the Qing cannons.
Those who are in the camel formation can hold down the camels, lie down behind the camels and shoot with muskets.
No matter how bad the Qing's cannons were, they still had a much longer range and more power than the muskets of this era.
Kangxi's left hand dealt with the Rakshasa Japs, and his right hand conquered the Sauron tribe, relying on artillery and muskets.
Khabarov, the leader of the Rakshasa bandits, led his men to invade eastward and succeeded repeatedly, relying only on muskets and a few small cannons.
In fact, the entire Rakshasa Kingdom invaded eastward and completely captured Siberia, not with a large army, but with a gang of hundreds or ten people.
The largest troop strength of the Rakshasa people did not exceed 500.
Of course, Kangxi was not as wise as he boasted.
At least after Galdan's death, Kangxi did not learn the lesson that Junggar's guns were better than those of the Qing Dynasty, so the firearms battalions of the Qing Dynasty were always equipped with outdated shotguns instead of the long-established flintlock guns.
In fact, Kangxi had already played with flintlock guns and had seen the power of Nan Huairen's imitation of British naval guns.
However, for the selfish interests of the bannermen, Kangxi did not use more advanced military equipment in the Eight Banners soldiers and Green Camp soldiers.
Yuzhu led the troops outside, so he naturally didn't want to offend the local snake.
Seeing Yang Guli kneeling in fright, Yuzhu said: "Manager Yang, it's hard to violate the emperor's will. Without reindeer, we can only use other supplies to make up for it. Otherwise, I won't be able to stand in front of the emperor."
, can’t I put in a good word for you?”
Seeing that there was a turning point, Yang Guli quickly said with a smile: "Cattle, sheep, horses, good leather, as long as you are willing to ask for it, I will do my best to repay you."
Speaking of the issue of repayment, both the Rakshasa and the Qing dynasties adopted the method of levying a leather tax on the border ethnic groups.
The various ethnic groups on the frontier definitely don't have much money. However, they make a living by fishing and hunting, and they have a lot of good fur goods.
You must know that high-quality leather, whether it is in Forty-Nine Cities, St. Petersburg, or Paris, France, is a concept of hard currency.
Horse-leather shrouds are used throughout the world.
Moreover, the high-quality sable skins offered by the Sauron Tribe are extremely popular in the Four-Nine City. As soon as they appear, they will be snapped up.
Why is there no shortage of money in Xiuyun’s family? Isn’t it just that the family has too many leather goods to sell?
In these days, people pay close attention to first-come-first-served basis. As Sabusu serves as the general of Heilongjiang, the family naturally has a lot of fur goods.
In fact, what Yuzhu lacks most is not meat, but vegetables.
Ever since they landed at the mouth of the Tumen River, Yuzhu's small team has eaten less and less vegetables.
Fortunately, Yuzhu was smart and got a lot of Chinese cabbage and white radish from the hands of North Korean magistrates. These two vegetables are very durable for storage.
In Sijiu City, Chinese cabbage is the main vegetable for winter.
Yuzhu heard from Niu Tai that the Sauron tribe also has the tradition of hoarding Chinese cabbage and white radish, and they all hide them in the cellar.
Since Yanguli couldn't bring out so many reindeer, he could only use Chinese cabbage.
In winter in Siberia, Chinese cabbage is really a strategic commodity.
Because if you don’t eat vegetables for a long time, you will definitely get scurvy.
As a result, thousands of kilograms of cabbage in the cellars of Yaksa City were knocked away by Yuzhu.
To be honest, thousands of cabbages just look like a lot. If the soldiers were allowed to eat them, they wouldn't last long.
Yakutsk is more than a thousand kilometers away from Yaksa, and few people can tell clearly about the situation there.
Yuzhu must beware of the possible heavy snowstorm.
Yaksa was the last city where Yuzhu led his troops out of the country. Naturally, his small team prepared as much supplies as they could.
At this time, Lu Wu had already commanded the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion to get out of the carriage one by one, and with crisp commands, they officially began to line up.
When Yuzhu, Yuzhu and Yangguli were negotiating just now, the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei camp were all changing into high-top leather military boots in the car.
Because the snow in Yaksa is already more than a foot deep, so if you wear cloth shoes, they will get soaked very quickly.
On such a cold day, if your shoes get soaked and your feet get frostbite, you will be in big trouble.
"Everyone is here, stand at attention, look to the right, and report the number." Following Lu Wu's series of commands, the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion began to line up and report the number.
At the beginning, Yuzhu, a military rookie, made a lot of jokes. There were hundreds of numbers in the number.
Now, after summarizing, the new reporting method is based on the unit of shed, each whistle is summarized to the team officer, and finally reported to Yuzhu by Lu Wu.
Looking at the neatly dressed and energetic soldiers of the Wuwei camp, Yang Guli and others were dumbfounded on the spot.
When Sauron's tribe fights, what they pay attention to is rushing and killing bravely, which has never been said neatly.
However, the soldiers of the Wuwei camp under Yuzhu, whether viewed horizontally or vertically, are straight lines that are convincing.
Yaksa is the destination of this trip, so the campsite has naturally been prepared long ago.
"Hand your guns on your shoulders and walk together." After giving the order, Lu Wu led the valiant and high-spirited soldiers towards the military camp in the city with neat steps.
The uniform high-top leather military boots made a crunching sound when stepped on the thick snow.
Just now, when the team didn't move, Yang Guli didn't notice anything special.
Now, the Wuwei camp began to move, and Yang Guli was immediately dumbfounded. There was no difference in the spacing between each row and row with the naked eye.
They were all people who led troops. Yang Guli could now see that the gangsters from the Rakshasa Kingdom were like unworthy bandits in front of this small team in front of him. They were completely incomparable.
The army entered the camp, and Yuzhu and Emin, accompanied by Yangguli, entered the Yaksa Governor's Mansion.
It is said to be the General Manager's Mansion, but it is actually just a large courtyard built of wood.
What kind of beautiful building can be found in the Governor's Mansion in a remote rural area?
It's just that in Yangguli's official hall, there is a hot kang burning brightly.
After entering the room, Yuzhu and Emin each took off their mink cloaks, and then the guests and hosts took their seats.
Yuzhu is the deputy imperial envoy, sitting in the middle, Emin is on the left, and Yangguli is sitting on the right to accompany him.
While drinking tea, Yuzhu asked Yang Guli: "Manager Yang, is there anyone in the city who is familiar with Nerchinsk's situation?"
So far, no one except Niu Tai, including E Min, knows that Yuzhu actually has Yakutsk in mind.
In fact, starting from Yaksa, it is more than a thousand kilometers to Nerchinsk, and it is only a few hundred kilometers further to Yakutsk.
Unlike Yongzheng and Qianlong who did not know how to fight, Kangxi was a famous commander who had been fighting for many years. He naturally understood a truth: when a general is outside and acts when the opportunity arises, the emperor's orders will not be accepted.
The emperor who issued formation charts to the generals and arranged formation envoys was Zhao Guangyi, the donkey-drawn war god, and could not be Kangxi.
To put it bluntly, as long as Yuzhu captured Yakutsk, hunted rabbits, and took advantage of the situation to deal with Nerchinsk, the combat goal set by Kangxi would be achieved.
Attack Yakutsk first. This is out of fear. After taking Nerchinsk, if any of the defeated troops are lucky enough to escape, it will scare the enemy.
After Yakutsk succeeded, even if Nerchinsk's defenders were alerted, Yuzhu was not too worried.
Because, Yuzhu has three treasures for fighting in winter, Niutai, Golden Eagle and Daxue.
Very early in the morning, Niu Tai was at home, training the golden eagle to fly into the air with a thick hemp rope in its mouth, and use the lift of its huge wings to lift the heavy snow that was biting the hemp rope up to the wall.
The remaining work is also the most critical work.
The heavy snow, which is humane, bites one end of the thick hemp rope, bypasses the arrow stack, or a hard object such as a flagpole, and throws the other end off the city wall.
After the two ropes went down the wall, it was time for Niu Tai's special performance. He wrapped one end of the hemp rope around his waist, and with the help of Yuzhu and Bai Xing, he quickly climbed up the wall.
Hehe, Niu Tai climbed up the wall. As long as he put down a few rope ladders that he had prepared long ago, the city wall would be the domain of the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion in a short time.
Of course, Niu Tai also experimented many times, letting the golden eagle hang Niu Tai with a rope around his waist onto the city wall.
This is more convenient and faster!
For a small force to attack, Yanguli needed to prepare not only reindeer and vegetables, but also a specialized guide.
In fact, Niutai also went to the Weiliu River.
However, the Viilliu River is frozen in winter.
To be honest, it is not easy to find this frozen river in the snowy wilderness.
Of course, Yuzhu never fights an unprepared battle. In his small team, there are two British sailors who are good at using quadrant, sextant and dry compass.
During the Yuan Dynasty, China's water compass and dry compass were introduced to the West, and Westerners modified the dry compass.
During the Shunzhi period of the early Qing Dynasty, dry compasses modified by Western craftsmen also entered China, and a combination of Chinese and Western dry compasses appeared.
This kind of dry compass is relatively finely made, always uses magnetic needles, and its orientation is relatively stable.
Because it is easy to use and sensitive, it is almost the same as modern compasses.
Advanced technology will definitely change the shape of war!
