After thinking for a moment, Zhao Qiang accepted Guo Mul's idea, and immediately asked Grifsky to take people to clean up the village. The bodies were moved to one place, and the blood stains on the ground were washed away with water. The houses that were still burning were like
If you can put it out, put it out. If you really can't put it out, clear the fire zone to prevent the whole village from burning.【】.
After the Russian soldiers who were still busy looting in the villages heard the order, most of them started to clean up the villages under the leadership of their respective officers. However, there were still about a dozen Russian soldiers who turned a deaf ear and ignored the officers' orders at all.
They rummaged through those houses for valuable objects. After receiving the news, Grifsky was furious and led a group of soldiers to surround them. Then he picked five and pulled them out and executed them on the spot. When the others saw this formation, they
Only then did he realize that he was no longer a soldier of the Russian Empire, but a surrender of the Guan Ning Army. Now the Russians were not out to rob collectively, but were robbing and killing for the Guan Ning Army. How could they still have the freedom they had before? Five heads
When the ground fell like this, the remaining people were all frightened. They hurriedly threw away what they had grabbed, and knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy. Grifsky executed the five leaders, but he did not want to execute the others as well.
, but Zhao Qiang, who rushed after hearing the news, personally ordered all the Russian soldiers to be tied up, tied together with some rocks, and thrown into the Songhua River.
"Those who disobey military orders will die!"
After hearing the cold words of Commander Guan Ning, all the Russian soldiers felt a chill. No one dared to just rummage for things and clean up the village honestly under the leadership of the Cossacks.
More than 200 people of various ethnic groups were captured, as well as more than 30 garrison soldiers. These people were also silenced and thrown into several large stone houses, and people were sent to guard them outside. The uniforms worn by the garrison soldiers could be used.
All the clothes were peeled off, and those that were too bloody to be used were useless. We also searched some clothes from the residences of the garrison soldiers and found soldiers of similar stature in the cavalry brigade to wear them. Finally, 360 Guan Ning soldiers from the cavalry brigade were replaced.
They had taken off the clothes of the Qing soldiers, and a small rat tail cut from the corpses of the Qing soldiers was stuck to the back of their heads.
After a busy night, it finally dawned, and the village was almost cleaned up, but at a glance, you could still see the burned-out houses with white smoke rising there. For this, Guo Mul thought of an explanation for Zhao Qiang,
If the escort team comes, just say there was a fire in the village at night.
The Russian troops in the Cossack brigade were too conspicuous, so Zhao Qiang left behind only 300 Russian troops equipped with muskets, and the rest were placed outside the village, hiding in the dense forests in the east, south, and north directions. When Zhao Qiang saw the village
After Li took action, he rushed out to block the road to prevent any of the opponent's cavalry from escaping.
"Sir Zuoling, when the people arrive, I don't need to say anything more."
Guo Muler is the main person, and his assistant leader will definitely show up, so at Zhao Qiang's signal, he put on his armor that he never used, and stood with a "lightning rod" helmet on his head.
That's quite impressive. He doesn't need to speak or move, and he is full of official appearance. With his outfit, Zhao Qiang couldn't help but think of the saying "Buddhas need gold, people need clothes."
Guo Mule was a good boy to the end. Although he was wearing armor, he didn't dare to really think that he was an uncle. After listening to Zhao Qiang's words, he hurriedly made a promise and said: "Grandpa, don't worry, grandpa, don't worry, I know how to do it."
"
"It's good to know. Don't worry, I will make sure you return to your Ninggu Pagoda safely without losing a single hair after everything is done."
Zhao Qiang didn't say much to him, and told Zheng Guohui behind him: "When the Qing army comes, welcome them into the village first. Only wait for the last person to come in, then you take action. Remember to move quickly and don't go on errands."
"Don't worry, Commander. Once the muskets are fired and the swords are fired, even if the incoming Tatars have three heads and six arms, there is no way they can survive!" Zheng Guohui was fully confident about the Qing escort troops who were ambushed and killed him.
The three hundred fire guns in the stone house can also knock the opponent into confusion.
"When the people sent to the dock see the village and take action, they don't need to come to help. They just go to the boat. If they are questioned, don't talk nonsense. Kill and control the boat. You can't escape the boat!" Zhao Qiang still has some doubts!
Feeling uneasy, he went to the dock in person and spoke to the general in charge of seizing the ship. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he returned to the village and waited for the Qing army to arrive.
……………
From morning to noon, no ships were seen coming from the river. The scouts sent out found no trace of the Qing soldiers. Everyone was a little impatient to wait. Zhao Qiang was also a little confused. He asked Guo Mul again and learned from the other party.
After learning that there was indeed a fleet that had not yet arrived, he settled down and waited quietly. He was not afraid that you would not come, but that he would not come. Zhao Qiang was determined to wait for the rabbit and would never go back until the rabbit came.
There is no end to the road. Half an hour later, cheers suddenly sounded from the dock on the riverside: "It's coming! It's coming!"
"Commander, the Tatar fleet is coming!"
Zhao Qiang followed the sound towards the river, and saw the vague shadow of a large ship slowly moving this way a few miles downstream. Finally it came! Zhao Qiang's heart skipped a beat, and the hand on the handle of the knife moved unconsciously.
Sinking. Sinking.
Also appearing at the same time as the fleet was a galloping horse. Before the horse rider reached the village, he shouted from a distance:
"Report! A group of Qing cavalry is coming to the village! There are about three hundred people!"
After hearing the report of the detective, all Guan Ning's troops in the village became commotion, and Zhao Qiang heard the sound of swords swinging in his ears.
"Calm down, everyone, and obey my commander's orders!"
After calming his subordinates down, Zhao Qiang, Zheng Guohui and two small flags escorted Guo Mur towards the outside of the village. The four of them, together with the soldiers standing in conspicuous places, were all wearing the uniforms of the Qing army, so they were the assistant leaders when they got up.
Guo Mulu led his men to welcome the arriving officials.
Different from the slow movement of the large ships on the river, the Qing army escorting the team was very fast. In less than a moment, a group of cavalry appeared in Sandao Village with a straight white flag, headed by a leader.
Followed by a Zuoling and several Goshhars.
The assistant leader had no doubt that there was something wrong with Sandao Village. Seeing the officers and soldiers in the village waiting outside the stone wall, he drove over with his horse under his belly. When he got close, he did not dismount and pointed his whip at Guo Mul:
"Are you in charge?"
Unlike Zhao Qiang and others who were a little nervous, Guo Muler was not nervous at all, and his behavior was flawless. He didn't make any small movements or look at anything. His tone of voice was the same as usual, and he was very respectful.
He said to the leader: "The lower official Guo Muler has a red flag. He was ordered by the peak to station in the three villages. I wonder who you are?"
The assistant leader glanced at the village and said: "I, General Jilin, rule the three surnames of the deputy governors of the Yamen with white flags and high flags." After a pause, he raised the whip again and pointed at the village in a strange way.
The burned-down house inside asked Guo Mul: "What happened in the village? Why were so many houses burned down?"
"Replying to your Majesty, some fishermen in the village accidentally burned down the woodshed while keeping warm last night. The wind was strong at night, and the fire spread with the wind, and it also affected many houses. If it hadn't been extinguished in time, I'm afraid that the firewood shed that you are in right now would have been burned.
What we arrived was in ruins.”
Accidents often occur in winter when people of all ethnic groups light fires to keep warm. Every time a fire breaks out, a piece of the fire will be destroyed, so the fire is not a rare thing. It is not surprising, so Guo Mul is not worried that Bai Ang will doubt his words. Sure enough, Bai Ang listened.
Finally, without doubting that he was there, he nodded slightly, stopped going to those houses, and told Guo Mul: "You will have people prepare meals now. The fleet will stop here for an hour, and your people will be strictly guarded.
Let a common man go to the dock."
"Yes, sir, I'll go get ready now." Guo Mule hurriedly bowed again, stepped aside, and said respectfully: "My lord, you've been working hard all the way, and the weather is freezing. I've already prepared a table for you.
Warm dishes, sir, please follow me to the village to have a rest." After saying this, without waiting for Bai Ang to say anything, he waved to the dozen or so Guan Ning soldiers standing on one side: "Come on, kill Sir Bai.
Take the horses and feed them some fodder, and ask the military lords to go and have some food."
The two teams of Guan Ning soldiers who had been prepared for a long time went to lead the horses of Bai Ang's men. No one in these Qing army cavalry was suspicious. They jumped off their horses and let the garrisoned Eight Banners soldiers take them away. 351
The group laughed and went to the village.
Bai Ang, his subordinates Nazuo Ling and several Geshiha were walking towards the village under the guidance of Guo Mul. After crossing the stone bridge, they suddenly stopped and looked at Guo Mul thoughtfully.
Zhao Qiang and Guo Mul were both startled. They thought something was wrong with the other party. Zheng Guohui and others subconsciously touched their sabers, but they heard Bai Ang say to Guo Mul: "Who are you?"
From the Yamen?"
Huh! Guo Mur secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Reply to your Majesty's words, I will have a subordinate of Guan Ning Guta Dutong Yamen."
"Garrisoning the Eight Banners?" Bai Ang was a little surprised.
"Exactly." Guo Muler didn't know what Bai Ang was wondering about, and his heart beat again. He glanced at Zhao Qiang secretly, and saw that the other party was also with him, so he didn't dare to stop.
Hearing that Guo Muler was indeed stationed at the Eight Banners, Bai Ang pointed to the Guan Ning soldiers standing on both sides with some pity and said: "You soldiers are quite good, but it would be a waste to be stationed at the Eight Banners."
Seeing that Guo Mul was praising his soldiers, Zhao Qiang secretly thought that this was a good thing.
The other party did not doubt himself, which made Guo Mule very happy. It was important whether the soldiers were his, and whether the head was his own. He said humbly: "Your Excellency, you are too flattering to the official. These soldiers under the official are just decorations. Where are they?"
It's so majestic compared to these powerful teams led by the adults!"
"You don't have to be like this. I still know the goods. Compared with my subordinates, these soldiers of yours are not much different. It's a pity that you are from Ningguta. If you were in Jilin, I would have to tell the general.
You are transferred to the elite Eight Banners." Guo Mul'er had a look of regret on those Guan Ning troops dressed as Qing troops. He suddenly fixed his sights on Zhao Qiang and asked Guo Mul in surprise: "Is this person also one of your subordinates?"
"Sir, this is little Goshiha, a Daur soldier, who used to be a hunter." Zhao Qiang is strong and strong, and with that expression on his face, he looks like he is not a mortal. Guo Mul is afraid that Bai Ang will be interested or suspicious of him,
Asking questions here and there, he quickly made up an identity for Zhao Qiang. He was born as an Orion and was always stronger. Although he looked eye-catching, it would not make anyone suspicious.
"Not bad."
After listening to Guo Mul'er's words, Bai Ang looked up and down at Zhao Qiang and praised: "Looking like a hero, I don't know how good his skills are. If his skills are good, I will love talents, but I don't know how Guo Zuo leads."
Can you part with your love and give this warrior to me?"
"this"
Guo Mule was dumbfounded. What mistake had Bai Ang made? Why did he kill this Han slave at a glance? He couldn't be Zhao Qiang's master, and he didn't dare. If he said that he was willing to give up Zhao Qiang to Bai Ang, God knows.
Is this Han slave angry with himself because of this, and turned around and gave him a knife?
"how?"
Seeing Guo Mul'er squeaking and not saying anything, as if he didn't want to, Bai Ang was a little unhappy. He was an elite eight-banner co-leader of the white flag. How could he be the leader of a small garrison with a red flag like you?
What? If this Daur man is really a warrior, then it would be a waste to stay with you. How can you have a good future with me? Is this my love for talents? I can't bear to let such warriors be wasted. If I change
If you are someone else, you won’t get anything even if you ask for it!
"Sir, if you want the younger one to surrender to you, that's fine, but you have to defeat the younger one in terms of skill. Otherwise, you will lead the older one to surrender the younger one to the older one. The younger one is also dissatisfied!"
Guo Mul'er was in a dilemma when he saw Zhao Qiang suddenly took a step forward, then drew out his saber and stared at Bai Ang provocatively. This shocked Guo Mul'er. The Zhengbai flag cavalry who came with Bai Ang
They haven't all come in yet. If they turn against each other now, if someone runs out, then they won't be able to go back even if they have a home!
"How presumptuous! How can the leader compete with a bastard like you!" For his own sake, Guo Mule couldn't let Zhao Qiang take action now, so he immediately turned his face and stood between Zhao Qiang and Bai Ang.
He winked at Zhao Qiang, lest Zhao Qiang mistakenly think that he was really scolding him. Zhao Qiang didn't want to say anything, but he heard Bai Ang laughing behind him: "I really didn't take my eyes away, a warrior is a warrior, no matter what, I will compete with you."
