Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 241 The Demise of the Tsarist Russian Expedition ([-])

After lunch, in Zhao Xin's tent, Mei Ergua began to introduce the situation of the red-haired camp to Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng in detail, and Wukanbei was still in charge of translation.

"...Two miles from the north of the village is a lake, and across the lake to the north is the sea. In the past, we used to go to the mainland by boat. Then we went to the south, and every year we had to walk far west to go to the mainland. .”

Zhao Xin asked Meiergua, "How many days does it take to go from here to the red-haired man's camp?"

Meiergua made some calculations, and immediately replied: "Take two to three days in the southwest direction, pass through a forest, and you can get there in two days if you go fast."

Zhao Xin took out a map of Kuye Island, pointed to the location of the lagoon in the northwest corner and asked, "Is this the lake?"

Meiergua came up to look carefully for a long time, shook his head and said, "I don't understand."

Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng frowned and looked at each other, which was a bit troublesome.The area of ​​the lagoon is not small, and now we can only guess the approximate location, but if we don't know the location of the pier and where the boats are berthed, Deng Fei can't support them by boat.It's okay to fight on land, but if you let the opponent escape by boat, it will be long-winded.The entire Bitter Leaf Island can be landed everywhere, and it is hard to guard against.

"It's better to find out the location of the opponent's camp and dock first, so we can start." Liu Sheng offered to take a squad to investigate. The purpose is to find out the situation of the opponent's camp and the location of the lagoon entrance, so that the Jinglei can be blocked in the lagoon. Export.Block the waters.

What Zhao Xin considered was that if there was a ship in the other party's port, it would be best to seize it.If the size of the ship is suitable, it can be used for coal transportation between Ezodi and Beihai Town in the future.Facing Liu Sheng's proposal, he nodded in agreement. "Then you take a class to leave tomorrow morning. From the map, it's almost a hundred miles away, and it took two or three days."

Liu Sheng asked Meiergua to send one of his subordinates as a guide, Meiergua agreed hastily, and said to Liu Sheng: "God Xiong, I will let Senbakuer go with you, he is very familiar with this area."

Liu Sheng's face turned dark when he heard it, and he thought that he had provoked someone, why did someone always associate him with Xiong? !He frowned and said to Wukanbei: "Tell him, don't use this god or that god to call us anymore, call us adults, or call us sir!"

After hearing Wukanbei's translation, Meiergua was so frightened that he got up and apologized.Zhao Xin waved his hand indifferently and said: "Forget it, why are you more serious than a native? Didn't you hear what Wukanbei said? The Feiyaka people believe this. If you really want to talk to him about science, maybe you can Be the devil. Take your time."

Zhao Xin told Wu Kanbei after teasing, "If you want revenge, you must promise me one thing first."

Wu Kanbei said: "As long as the adults let me kill the red-haired man, I will agree to anything."

"Okay! Tomorrow you will go with Master Liu, and you will still be responsible for the translation. But you have to remember that without Master Liu's order, you must not do anything, otherwise you will go back where you came from."

"Why?" Wukanbei asked unconvinced, staring wide-eyed.

Zhao Xin said with a serious face: "You are now a soldier in Beihai Town, you must obey the command! We will wipe out all these red-haired men this time, and none of them can be let go. So you must not act rashly, or it will damage our army." event!"

Wu Kanbei's expression froze, and then he understood Zhao Xin's intention, stood up and said, "Yes!"

Early the next morning, Liu Sheng set off with a squad of soldiers and Sambakur.Before leaving, he made an agreement with Zhao Xin that if he didn't come back in six days, something must have happened, and Zhao Xin would lead his troops there directly.

Three days later, in a dense jungle more than 100 miles southwest of the mouth of the Ohha River, several members of the Russian expedition team released from exile in Siberia were sitting at the door of the wooden house smoking boredly.

At this time, Orlov, the officer of the expedition, shouted at these people: "You guys! Have you put paste on your buttocks? Get up and dig coal!"

A guy sitting on a wooden pile said in a strange way: "Officials, don't be arrogant! Damn it, I brought me to this ghost place from Irkutsk, saying that he brought us to make a fortune, but every day It’s coal digging!”

Lutchenko smoked bitter and astringent soil tobacco leaves, and scolded: "Be quiet, you bastard! This is better than feeding mosquitoes in Siberia, right?" He turned to look at officer Orlov , said: "Women! We need women!"

Orlov stomped on the floor with the spurs of his boots, and shouted impatiently, "Woman? Get over here! Damn it, I won't get up again and let you taste the whip!"

Luchenko didn't take Orlov seriously at all, and said with disdain: "You don't have to be so arrogant here! I was pardoned by the governor! When I get rich, I will not be a death row prisoner, but a master!" "

With a "snap", the whip hit Lutchenko's back. Orlov narrowed his eyes and said contemptuously, "Master, please remember the smell of the whip first! Go to work!"

Since the Tsarist Russian expedition captured this place 20 years ago and drove away the Feiyaka people, they began to set up camps here, dig coal mines, and then ship them back to their strongholds on the Kamchatka Peninsula.If a woman would come to this kind of place, it would be hell!
The members of these expeditions were mainly soldiers from Irkutsk and death row prisoners from Siberia.Because they have nothing, they are all dead, so they are extremely cruel when fighting the Feiaka people, and they often leave no one alive.Because the local Feiyaka people are afraid of them, lest they avoid them.Occasionally, a few indigenous women were caught, and they would die because of their desperate resistance or unbearable abuse.Up to now, there are only seven or eight indigenous women left in the camp, who help them wash clothes and cook food on weekdays.

The Tsarist Russian expedition team did not dare to make a big show after occupying this territory because they were worried about angering the Qing Dynasty on the other side, and they did not expand thereafter.In the past 20 years, the development of the local open-pit coal mine has been very mature. Starting from summer, several ships will come from Kamchatka every month to transport coal and deliver supplies.When the sea freezes in winter, the expedition team will stop digging coal and enter the cat winter state.This kind of life is very boring, so the people who come to rotate every year are almost all death row prisoners or exiles from Siberia.

At this time, a guy named Kludzinko suddenly appeared in the eyes of everyone, and said to everyone with a smile on his face: "You don't know yet, a woman is coming!"

"What?" Luchenko's eyes widened.The other slackers were also alarmed and asked quickly.

"He's a prisoner on death row, named Liu Basha. I heard that she poisoned her husband to death, so..." Kludzinko said with a grin on his face.

Luchenko scolded with a smile: "I'm sure, the one who can do such a thing must be a coquettish bitch!"

"Where is the person? Where is the person? When will you come?"

"Bastard, who did you listen to?"

"The crew who came to transport the coal said it. He said that the next ship will bring people here."

"Next trip? Then how many days will we have to wait? I'm going crazy!"

Kludzinko shook his head and said, "This guy didn't say anything, anyway, the next boat should arrive soon."

All the prisoners immediately rejoiced, and began to fantasize and look forward to the scene of the woman's arrival.In the air 300 meters above their heads, a drone painted silver gray floated overhead
On the way back, Sembakur was very surprised. After running more than 100 miles, he walked back after staying for a day. He didn't even see the shadow of the red-haired man!Although he showed great interest in drones, he couldn't figure out what the thing was for.

Two days later, when Liu Sheng and his party returned to the Aohahe camp and reported the investigation situation to Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin said with a smile: "Now it's time to discuss terms with that Meiergua."

"What are you going to talk about?"

"The Coal Mine of the West."

It turned out that during the few days when Liu Sheng left, only two of the five kilns were in operation. The main reason was that the supply of charcoal could not keep up.It takes more than [-] hours to burn charcoal once, and as a result, most of the people are cutting wood and burning charcoal now.Although the calorific value of charcoal is higher than that of coke, Zhao Xin feels that it is too wasteful to waste hundreds of towering trees like this!
According to the available information, Zhao Xin knows that the largest coal mine in the west of Kuye Island is located in another time and space named "Alexandrovsk" port city; The largest coal mining center on Leaf Island.It would be a shame not to take this opportunity!
Therefore, the condition that Zhao Xin proposed to Meiergua was that the coal mines and oil mining rights on the entire Bitter Leaf Island belonged to Beihai Town, and Meiergua was responsible for the negotiations between Beihai Town and other tribes on the island.On this basis, Beihai Town will be responsible for protecting the Melgua tribe, opening up trade, and providing all the daily necessities of the Melgua tribe.

Regarding the issue of paying taxes to the Qing court, Zhao Xin still suggested that Meiergu'a continue to implement it.One is to avoid overwhelming the enemy, and the other is to connect all the Fayaka people in series when participating in the Wulin appreciation.

After listening to Zhao Xin's conditions, Mei Ergua said that there is no problem at all.If you can not offend at both ends, and you can also get great benefits, a fool will not agree.

Now that everything has been negotiated, it is not too late.Two platoons were left in the camp to be responsible for guarding, and the guard company and another platoon formed a reinforced company to dispatch.In addition, Zhao Xin ordered more than 100 migrant workers to be recruited. Their task was to help set up camps on the way, and later be responsible for cleaning the battlefield and clearing up the seizures.

After Deng Fei received the order, he started the Jinglei and set off. His task was to arrive at the exit of the lagoon two days later and block it.If the Russians escape by boat, they will all be sunk!
Early the next morning, Liu Sheng led the reinforcement company and set off, and Zhao Xin followed closely behind with a team of migrant workers.In order to see Beihai Town's force, Meiergua and the others also joined Zhao Xin's rear team.Zhao Xin has listened to a lot of Manchu these days, and he can speak a little bit, which can be used for general communication with Meiergua.

At noon two days later, Liu Sheng and the others arrived at a position one kilometer east of the Tsarist Russian camp. He ordered the platoons to enter the preset position, first knock down the opponent's sentry post, and then the southern platoon first launched an attack. People run to the northern port.

At this time, Zhao Xin also changed into the all-terrain camouflage uniform he hadn't worn for a long time, holding his HK416, and a group of migrant workers armed with axes, iron picks and other tools, ready to cooperate with the encirclement operation.

Holding a gun, Zhao Xin painted his face with camouflage camouflage, and shouted to his migrant workers: "You all remember, no one is allowed to rush in without my order! At that time, the bullets will not have eyes!"

"Yes, master. We understand this matter." A group of migrant workers nodded in agreement, saying that they have been talking every day for the past two days, and their ears are covered with calluses.

"Everything seized must be returned to the public, and individuals are not allowed to keep it privately! Violators will not be given food for three days! However, there will be a reward after this battle, 2 silver dollars per person!" As soon as these words came out, more than 100 people immediately became energetic, Holding the ax and pickaxe in his hand, he became menacing.

According to Liu Sheng's investigation, there are almost 200 Tsarist Russians in the coal mine, and there are more than 20 in the northern port.It's easy to hit down, the key is not to let one go.

The platoon responsible for launching the offensive in the south was led by him personally. More than 30 soldiers had camouflage camouflage on their faces, and camouflaged their bodies with bushes and weeds.When they approached 200 meters away from the Russian camp, Wukanbei, with the cooperation of a soldier, launched a sneak attack on the Russian soldier on the front post with a dagger in his hand.

From the grass 30 meters away, Wukanbei and his comrades crawled around behind the Tsarist Russian soldiers, and tiptoed forward.When they approached seven or eight meters behind the Tsarist Russian soldiers, Wu Kanbei nodded to his comrades, took the dagger from his mouth, and slowly leaned forward.

When he was still two or three meters away from the Russian man, Wukanbei threw himself on the Russian man's back with a lunge, and with his left hand he shook the Russian man's head vigorously, while the sharp blade of his right hand slashed at the position of the carotid artery. .At the same time, his comrade-in-arms also rushed forward, and the two of them pushed each other to the ground with force.

The Tsarist Russian soldier didn't expect someone to attack him at all, he just felt his back sink and his neck felt cold, and he was thrown to the ground immediately.

When the blood donation started to spurt, a huge pain also followed!Frightened, the Tsarist soldier held his neck and struggled uncontrollably; although the blood in the carotid artery gushed out, his hands and feet were still very strong.Wu Kanbei pressed the opponent's head with both hands as if going crazy, and pressed hard into the soil, as if he wanted to crush the opponent's head.And his comrades desperately wrapped their arms around the legs of the Tsarist Russian soldiers, riding upside down on their opponents and pressing them hard.

After a while, the legs of the Tsarist Russian soldier under him twitched a few times, and there was no more movement.Wukanbei and his comrades were covered in blood.

"Stupid enough!" Liu Sheng cursed inwardly.But there was no way around it. The Tsarist Russians were tall and big, but the soldiers in Beihai Town were all small. It was really difficult for two of them to deal with one with bare hands.

At this time, at the guard post 100 meters to the west, the other two soldiers also succeeded.He was much more aggressive than Ukan Belly. First he cut his throat with a knife, and then stabbed the Tsarist in the back of the head with a knife, killing him immediately.

At this time, most of the Tsarist Russians in the camp went to the coal mine to dig coal, the officers were resting in the house, and a few Feyaka women were washing clothes by the pool.

A woman with an enchanting appearance, wearing a long skirt and a prison uniform leaned against the porch of the wooden house, and suddenly screamed.It turned out that the Feyaka woman who was washing her clothes accidentally dropped the dress she had just taken out of the water on the ground.

"Ah! You stupid pig! That's my best dress! I'll kill you!"

After the woman finished speaking, she leaned over and picked up a wooden stick by the door, rushed over and hit the Feyaka woman on the shoulder.The Feyaka woman screamed in pain, and the wet skirt in her hand fell into the mud again.This aroused the woman's anger even more. She waved the wooden stick in her hand shamelessly, and the Fiyaka woman below her screamed.

The officer Orlov, who was resting, pushed the door out and cursed at the woman: "Lyubasha, you vicious crazy woman! Just wash the clothes when they are dirty, there are only a few working women here. , wounded and killed you to catch the natives?!"

Liu Baxia was bored, she hit this woman just to vent her evil fire.As a former death row prisoner in Siberia, she was not a good person, so she put her hands on her hips and was about to scold Orlov.

Suddenly, Liubasha saw that Orlov's head seemed to have been severely hit by someone with a hammer. He first leaned back violently, and then fell straight on the muddy ground; Another sharp whistling came from the woods behind him.

Liubasha felt a little strange, she took a wooden stick, her feet dodged the mud on the ground, and walked quickly to Orlov.A hole the size of a fist was opened on the back of Orlov's head, and blood mixed with pink brain slowly flowed out.

"Ah!" Liu Baxia let out a long scream, finally breaking the tranquility of this dense forest.

　I remember reading some information before and said that basically when a person is hit by a bullet, the direction of falling is the same as the direction of the bullet.That is to say, wherever the bullets come from, people will fall there.
