"Ningguta's 1,500 soldiers were transferred north to Heilongjiang, and the Daur people who built the new city of Humar went to Aihun to farm... Well, I came to Kangxi to definitely start action next year. []"
Zhao Qiang, who was so horny that he needed to vent his anger, did not delay the military situation. After hearing that it was about Heilongjiang, he quickly got out of bed, put on his pants and rushed out, leaving Lin Na there alone, dumbfounded and full of sorrow.
The ones who came to deliver the letter were the ten Han sergeants Zhang Deguang had arranged to accompany Anmar. The name of the person who came was a bit unsophisticated, his name was Sun Youtian. He was from Tongshan, Yunnan, and came from the old camp of the Wu Army. He was not very old, in his mid-twenties.
Sun Youtian came to Shouyi City disguised as an Oroqen hunter, and the information he brought back was the information Anmar knew about the recent troop mobilization of Qing troops in Heilongjiang. This information was generally similar to what Zhao Qiang remembered, so he didn't feel anything was wrong.
"After Sabusu was promoted to General of Heilongjiang, did he test the Rakshasa people in any way?"
Zhao Qiang has learned that Sabusu was promoted to general of Heilongjiang. This matter is not inconsistent with historical records. Whether Sabusu is the commander-in-chief or a general has no meaning to Zhao Qiang. What he wants to know now is the man who will be called by later generations.
What measures did the "national hero" who fought against the Rakshasa invasion take against the Russians after being promoted?
Zhao Qiang is worried that with his arrival, some butterfly effects will occur in history, and things that originally happened in a certain period of time will suddenly advance or deviate from the original trajectory. In that case, his deployment for the Battle of Yaksa starting next year will not be possible.
Just soup.
"Back to Qianhu, according to Anmar, the Qing army in Aihun City repelled the invasion of a small group of Rakshasa troops. Apart from this, I haven't heard him mention any other actions by the Qing army."
Sun Youtian followed Zhang Deguang and Anmar to Heilongjiang two months ago, so he is not very clear about the current situation of Guan Ning Army. He does not know that Zhao Qiang has been promoted from Qianhu to division commander, and from division commander to commander.
. The strength of Guan Ning's army has also expanded from more than a thousand troops to more than 10,000 people now. Not only did they occupy Shouyi City, they also captured Dingyuan, Gulihe, Yask and other cities. Compared with when he left, Guan Ning's army
The army now has a great family, a great business, and strong soldiers and horses.
Zhao Qiang nodded: "In other words, Sabusu has been on the defensive so far and has never taken the initiative to attack the Rakshasa people?"
Sun Youtian thought for a moment before confirming: "That's true. After I followed Captain Zhang to Aihui City, I never heard that the Qing army took the initiative to attack the Rakshasa people. They have been busy building cities and stationing troops."
After listening to Sun Youtian's words, Zhao Qiang remained silent because he was thinking that the situation Sun brought back could not be considered an emergency military situation. Just now, he heard outside Lin Na's room that it was an emergency military situation. Zhao Qiang came out in a hurry. He thought it was not a Rakshasa.
The large-scale invasion of the People's Liberation Army means that Qing troops are coming to attack. Otherwise, where would the word "emergency" come from? Who knows that this urgent military situation is only the mobilization of Qing troops in Heilongjiang, and it is not directed at Guan Ning's army.
What bastard was yelling just now, causing me to withdraw my troops before the battle, which is so fucking cheating. Zhao Qiang recalled it angrily, but found that he was too hasty to leave the house just now, and he didn't even know who was reporting outside.
However, the only thing to blame is that he does not have a specialized intelligence agency, which is unable to predict the intelligence in advance and then report it step by step according to the level, thus reducing the workload of his supreme commander. Now, as soon as intelligence is sent from various places
, all of them were handed over to the commander-in-chief himself. No matter whether it was military or public sentiment, as soon as the messenger arrived, he would send the messenger to the commander-in-chief as if he knew the way. The day before yesterday, Zhao Qiang also picked up a copy of the blind man from Gulihe City and gave it to the people.
The letter was sent to him as usual. Zhao Qiang thought it was some kind of civil unrest in Guli River City, so he hurriedly opened it, but he was dumbfounded. It turned out that the letter was written by Blind Man Lu about his stay in Guli.
The matter of overhauling the public latrines in Hecheng was full of vernacular talk from beginning to end, and it was not clear from beginning to end. Zhao Qiang was dumbfounded, so he quickly sent a messenger to Mincao to find Liu De, so as not to cause trouble for himself.
…………
The intelligence sent by Anmar is certainly valuable and huge, but in any case, Zhao Qiang does not think it can be regarded as urgent military information. He wants Guo Fei's Military Intelligence Department to put up a front as soon as possible, otherwise everything will go wrong.
I sent him off without any regard for the priority, and I had to be exhausted to death. Zhao Qiang had a headache, and glanced at Sun Youtian, who was a little worried. Seeing that he had nothing else to say, he wanted him to go down and have a rest first.
"Okay, I know all these things. You've been tired all the way, so go down and have a rest."
From Aihui to Shouyi City, it takes seven or eight days even if you work hard. You can imagine the fatigue along the way. As soon as Sun Youtian arrived at Shouyi City, he was received by Zhao Qiang. At this time, he also worked hard to deal with it. He saw Qianhu and asked him to go down.
After resting, he immediately said goodbye and was about to leave. When he was about to turn around, he stopped again and moved his mouth, as if he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
Seeing Sun Youtian like this, Zhao Qiang knew that he still had something to report, so he asked him, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Sun Youtian leaned slightly and said: "Qianhu, when I came here, I heard Anmar mention something, but the details of the matter are not clear, so Captain Zhang asked me not to report anything to Qianhu this time.
I know. But after thinking about it, I thought it was true, so I wanted to report it to Master Qianhu, but I don’t know if Qianhu would blame me if I told Qianhu this unexplored news."
"oh?"
If it was an ordinary matter, Sun Youtian would definitely not report it to him rashly. He was so hesitant, and it must be a big deal for him. Since it was an important matter, Zhao Qiang was naturally interested in knowing what it was, and waved with a smile.
Waving his hands: "But why don't you say it? I, Qianhu, won't blame you for talking too much."
After thousands of households spoke, Sun Youtian felt relieved and said: "When Xiao came, there were rumors in Aihui City that the Qing government had requisitioned more than 10,000 shi of grain from Jilin, Shengjing and other places and transported it to Ai'i City along the waterway."
"More than ten thousand stones of food?!"
Before Sun Youtian could finish speaking, Zhao Qiang screamed. This was a heavenly figure. It was more than 10,000 dan. If the current Guan Ningjun was allowed to open his stomach to eat, it would take him three to four years to finish it all.
This is more than ten thousand stones of grain. When he was in Yask a few days ago, Wei Ji talked to Zhao Qiang about the problem of grain reserves for the winter. He said that although there are many livestock, there is little grain. I am afraid that when winter comes, various places under his rule will
There is a risk of food shortage.
There is no problem with the existing food and livestock to ensure that Guan Ning's army survives the winter, but after winter comes, a large number of residents of all ethnic groups will definitely starve to death. This is a side effect of large-scale population migration. Originally, these tribal people could
They were self-sufficient, but now they have been uniformly resettled far away from their original living area, and their production methods have also been greatly changed. It is definitely impossible to become self-sufficient in the short term. Everything must be supported by the capture of Guan Ning's army in previous battles.
Wei Ji settled an account with Zhao Qiang. Now the Guan Ning Army has added local security teams and auxiliary forces to temporarily form four battalions of the Han Army. The total strength has reached more than 14,000 people. However, the free people under the rule of various places have
There are 21,000 people and 13,000 untouchables. The combined population of these two parties is more than 34,000, which is more than two and a half times that of Guan Ning's army. If there are no large seizures, relying only on the current inventory, he
It can only ensure the food supply for Guan Ning's army and the free people, but it cannot guarantee the rations of the untouchables after the winter. It is optimistically estimated that at least 4,000 to 5,000 untouchables will starve to death after the winter.
The four to five thousand untouchables represent the food and wealth of the future. Of course Zhao Qiang does not want them to be abandoned, but there is no good way to solve this food shortage problem. Who makes him take too big steps and control the population of various places?
The migration speed is too fast and dense, and food shortage is inevitable. It is no longer possible to obtain food from other ways. Zhao Qiang can only put his hope in the third stage of Dingyuan battle, hoping that several Russian cities can solve the shortage for him.
Food problem. But now there is a "food mountain" suddenly in front of him, and Zhao Qiang's first thought is to grab it!
"Do you know which waterway the fleet transporting grain takes?" Zhao Qiang did not hide his expression at all, his eyes widened.
Sun Youtian didn't expect Qianhu's reaction to be so big, but thinking about it, it should be the same. When he heard this number, he was so shocked that his tongue stuck out.
"Replying to Qianhu, this matter is just a rumor in Aihui City. Anmar has not verified it, so I don't know. Because of this, the team officer asked me not to report it to Qianhu, and wait until the investigation is clear.
It is passed down to thousands of households.”
Sun Youtian's words made Zhao Qiang slump down like a deflated rubber ball. He didn't know which waterway to take. How could I lead people to cut it off? Sun Youtian saw Qianhu's disappointed face and did not dare to speak.
There.
"Zhang Deguang is relying on his old age, but this matter cannot be relied on. If the Qing government really wants to transport such a large amount of food to Ai'ai City, then we will not take it for nothing." Zhao Qiang couldn't bear it anymore.
Yansun Youtian: "Do you have the energy to return to Aihui immediately to investigate the specific situation of this food for this thousand households?"
"Don't worry Qianhu, the little one can still hold on!"
Although he really wanted to fall asleep, Sun Youtian felt that if this matter was true and the Qianhu adults wanted to get it again, then it would be worth it no matter how tired and miserable he was. With more than 10,000 stones of food, the brothers could no longer
No longer afraid of going hungry.
"Okay, you go down to eat something right now and come back in half an hour."
Although he was a little worried about whether Sun Youtian could bear it, the temptation of more than 10,000 shi of grain was too great, so Zhao Qiang could only let this loyal subordinate work hard again, hoping to know the specific movements of this grain as soon as possible.
If this matter is true, with more than 10,000 stones of food, our life will be much easier. Hey, looking at Sun Youtian led by the guards to eat, Zhao Qiang walked back and forth in the house several times, and his hands were raw from rubbing them.
I feel cocooned. The more I think about it, the happier I am. I wish I could immediately know which waters these grains passed through. I was thinking about how to grab this batch of grains. Suddenly I was stunned, and my face turned blue and white. The reason why Zhao Qiang became so expressionless.
, because he suddenly thought of something:
These grains were collected by Kangxi for the Northern Expedition army. If I cut off his Hu, the Qing army would have no grain. Wouldn't it be impossible to win the Battle of Yaksa next year?
