The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 547 Finding Allies
The upsurge of development in Beihai has also driven the development of Tongyuan Fort.

Because when Jia Min first arrived in Beihai, he warmly received Jia Min, and then cooperated with Jia Min's caravan to defeat the Cossack Michurin, and then followed Jia Min to Beihai. Liu Gengxin became the well-deserved head of Tongyuan Fort.

The current Liu Gengxin is no longer the same as the down-and-out Liu Gengxin.

Therefore, he is now capable of holding a grand welcome banquet for Qin Keqing.

It is naturally inconvenient for Qin Keqing to meet Jia Min alone when there are so many people, but she is quite content with the situation now.

Reunited with my child, Fourth Uncle Min is by my side again, and I can still see him from time to time, enjoying the protection of Fourth Uncle Min, and thinking about his well-being is more important than anything else.

Jia Min ate wine with Zhao Dahai, Jia Lian and others, and Liu Gengxin.

Not long after arriving in Beihai, Jia Lian, Jia Ping and others had already returned to the team and began to learn the use and tactics of new firearms.

Because I had a very good military background, I quickly adapted to it.

From the troops brought by Qin Zhong, Zhao Dahai saw the power of the new firearms and was very envious.Now he finally understands why Jia Min spends so much time and energy and pays so much money to go to France.

"Minister Min, today's army regiment is much more powerful than before. In my opinion, one can be used as ten, no, one can be used as a hundred. They are invincible in the world."

"Captain Zhao, it's useless for you to be envious. Today is different. In the past, you were members of the military regiment, and you could give you firearms. Now you are soldiers and horses of the imperial court. Hehe, our firearms can't be given to you." Here you go."

Jia Lian's words seemed to be joking, but they also told the truth.Although they have a good personal relationship with Zhao Dahai, their identities are different.

"Chief Jia, don't say that, maybe we will be under the command of Chief Min again at some point."

"Officer Min, the imperial court is over now, why don't you raise troops, so that the San Francisco won't win the world. I don't think the San Francisco is a good thing."

"Zhao Dahai, don't you have any plans?"

Jia Min looked at Zhao Dahai and said with a smile.

"Hey, Chief Min, I really can't hide anything from you. Let me tell the truth, I came back here just to find out what you mean, and then..."

"And then what?"

"Then, of course, whatever happens to Chief Min, I will be fine. We are all old subordinates of Chief Min. If Chief Min eats meat, he must give us some soup."

"How many of you?"

"That's right, it's Feng Kui and Xu Mingtao who kept bewitching me, and they were more anxious than me. In fact, the few of us have thought about it together, and Chief Min will definitely do something."

"Commander Zhao, after you go back, organize your team well. Commander Qin, remove your rifle and bullets from one platoon and bring them back to Commander Zhao. In addition, send several instructors to Bukui with him to train them. man. Give him the machine gun too."

"Mr. Min, thank you, salute!"

Zhao Dahai hurriedly stood up and gave Jia Min a military salute cleanly.

Then he poured himself another drink and drank three glasses in a row.

"Officer Min, thank you for treating us as your own. To be honest, after breaking away from the Fubingtuan in the past few years, there is no day when we are comfortable. This court really disappointed us."

"Regimental Commander Zhao, don't get excited. You guys have been working for us these past few years. How can I forget you? After a while, we will send troops to Dade, and you can go with me when the time comes .”

"Go and go, I'm looking forward to this day. It's refreshing to fight with Chief Min. But our equipment is really..."

Zhao Dahai rolled his eyes around twice, and came up with another idea.

"Don't worry, you will be indispensable at that time."

"Hey, I knew we were indispensable. After all, we are all subordinates of Chief Min. How could we be forgotten. Come on, Chief Min, I respect you again."

"Okay, no more respect."

"Hey, that can't be done. This time it's for Feng Kui and Xu Mingtao. If I go back and talk about it, they might be so happy."

"Is there any movement in South Vendura?"

"There are some movements. Temir is gathering troops from the Tiefo tribe. The headmen of Luomuge of the Luosun tribe and Kadeer of the Khaki tribe are also rectifying their troops. I am planning to go back and check them out to see them. What exactly do you want to do?"

"No need to investigate, I told them to do this. Maybe they will be your comrades in arms in the future?"

"Officer Min is saying... well, I won't investigate anymore, I understand."

"How is McCaman now?"

"Still doing business in Bukui."

"If he wants to go back to South Wendura, let him go back."

"I saw him last month and told him that he would go back if he wanted to. However, his business is doing very well now and he doesn't want to go back anymore. He also told me to tell you when I see you and say thank you .”

"Oh, did he thank me?"

"Yes, he said that if you hadn't told him to stay in Bukui and not return to South Vendura, he wouldn't be living such a happy life now."

"Oh, it was a coincidence, but I didn't expect this result. Bu Kui still has a lot of forage, right?"

"There is a lot of fodder, but there is not much food. There has been no food in the past two years. The ones that were stored were all taken away by Han Tiankui. However, the people of Bukui have a lot of surplus food, and the price of food is not high now."

"After you go back, store more grain and grass. Collect all the surplus grain from the people. I will ask someone to send the money to you later."

"Yes, Chief Min."

A table of people discusses the situation of Dade while arranging military affairs.Occasionally chat for a while.After a drink, it took nearly two hours to break up.

Qin Keqing came, and met Zhao Dahai and arranged a lot of affairs, Jia Min was also very excited.Under the repeated toasts of others, he drank a little too much.

Back to the house Liu Gengxin prepared for him, under the service of Ping'er, he fell asleep soon.

Even though he was a little confused, he still clearly remembered one thing: Keqing escaped danger, so there would be no worries.Now is the time to act.

The next day, Qin Keqing set off accompanied by people from the Jia family. Their route was to go to Shanghekou, take a boat from there, and then arrive at Pingyuan City.

Zhao Dahai took a machine gun and more than 30 rifles, and together with the instructors sent by Qin Zhong, returned to Bukui, preparing to reorganize the troops and raise food and grass.

Jia Min took Qin Zhong's troops and continued to inspect various places.

The current situation in Beihai is very stable, and Jia Min doesn't need to bring so many people with him when he travels.Taking so many people on tour this time actually has another purpose.

It serves two purposes.

The first is to test the training results of the long-distance march of large troops, sum up experience and lessons, find problems, and make corrections and improvements.

The second purpose is that two hundred miles ahead of here is the border between North Wendura and Beihai.

Jia Min will lead his troops there to show off his force to the Tatars in North Vendura and deter them.He wants to make some articles on the Tatars in North Vendura.

Two days later, Jia Min arrived at Maokui Mountain at the junction of Beihai and North Wendura.

There is a small town at the foot of the mountain, which belongs to the territory of North Wendura.It is an important trade and traffic stop between the North Sea and North Vendura.

This is the territory of the Sidwa tribe.

After arriving here, Jia Min sent someone to find Xi Mairui, the leader of the Sidwa tribe, to meet here.

One day later, Similui came with Hugel, Solatu and more than 1000 horses.

Xi Mairui was very straightforward, leaving the people in the town, and brought Jia Min's camp with Hugel and Soletu.

"Haha, President Jia, long time no see, I miss you so much."

As soon as they met, Xi Mailui ran over exaggeratedly and hugged Jia Min warmly.

"Hehe, old friend Similui, you came very quickly, I thought you wouldn't come."

"President Jia said so, but he doesn't regard me as a friend. This makes me a little sad. A few days ago, the ancestors of your family went to Beihai, and I personally sent people to Mazhuang to welcome them. Then took them to our camp, entertained them with Wadagas and Shaq, and finally sent them to Bu Kui and Zhao Dahai himself, didn’t the ancestors tell you?”

This Xi Meirui has really thick skin.Obviously they were the ones who captured the people from Jia's mansion, but they went to greet him when they got into his mouth.

"The ancestors said it, and they still praised you with me."

"President Jia, you are welcome. You and I are friends. Your ancestors are my ancestors."

Tch, I don't have such an old ancestor.

He said it beautifully, but secretly slandered him in his heart.

"Head Ximailui, you said we are friends, I love to hear that, so one of the purposes of coming this time is to thank you."

One of the purposes?I knew you wouldn't come here for no reason.Wherever you go, there must be nothing good.

"If Chairman Jia has anything to do, just ask. When it comes to thank you, I dare not be taken for granted."

"The other thing is that I asked you to stop by and see how my men and horses are doing? You are an eagle in the North Wendura Grassland, and you are an expert in fighting. Give my men some advice."

Fourth Jia, what on earth do you mean? Are you still such a miserable person?

I am your defeated general, if I were an eagle, wouldn't you be a golden eagle?I have never seen such a person who is playing around and boasting about himself.

Also give pointers, I give pointers.Last time you asked Feng Ziying to scare us with a machine gun, and this time you brought people to scare us again.

Is it fun to always play the same game?We are all afraid of you, what else do you want?
"Hey, President Jia, if it's something else, I can do it. I would never dare to instruct you to fight."

"Xi Meirui is really a good friend. This time, I really need to ask you for something else."

Similui wished he could slap himself hard.

However, the words had already been spoken, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond.

"I also ask President Jia to give you instructions."

"I'm asking you to partner with Vadagas and Shaq to do a big business."

"Big business? Dare I ask what kind of business it is?"

"You follow me to send troops to Dade."

Send troops to Dade with you?

This is a bit strange.

In the past, we fought against the imperial court, but you refused to let us.And beat us to pieces.Besiege Pukui, and you scare us with machine guns.Now instead, we are asked to partner with you to fight against the imperial court.

What kind of wind is this blowing?

"Hehe, President Jia, since it's a business, what should we do with the capital? How will we divide the money after we make it, and what should we do if we lose it?"

"Come on, Simari. Sit down and drink tea, let's talk in detail. Then you go back and discuss it with Vadagas and Shaq, and give me an answer."
