The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 565 What is the origin

Chen Yetong and Huang Tianyun started to practice the siege, and nothing else was left behind.

Tamara and Qingwen each led a company and went to the surrounding towns.

There are two purposes, one is to demonstrate and the other is to promote.

In Jia Min's words, it is called mobilizing the masses, and the ultimate goal is to consolidate one's rear.

Naturally, Daiyu's battlefield propaganda team also followed suit.

On this day, they came to the Dragon King Temple in the southwest of Phoenix City.This time it was Tamara's Mamluk company that was dispatched.

The Mamluk slave soldiers were bought by Jia Min from a Persian merchant when he arrived in France.At present, they have all been freed from slavery and become free men.

The biggest feature of this team is the complex complexion.

Of the more than 100 people in the Tamara Company, more than 80 are black.This is the booty captured by Lameihua when he attacked a pirate ship on the road when he came back.

Longwangmiao is a town with a population of about 1000, and today is the market day.

As soon as these niggers got into town, they terrified the people here.

They had never seen such a person with dark hands and faces, so they fled in panic.

However, the intersection has been blocked, and where there is no way to escape, they have to huddle together in panic.

At this time, Tamara slowly appeared on the horse and began to speak to the crowd.

"Folks, we are the Beihai Volunteer Army, and we are here to rescue you. Do you welcome us?"

No one answered her.

"My soldiers may not look like you, but don't be afraid. They are not Yakshas, ​​they are just like you. It's just that the place where they live is too hot, and they are all tanned. Tucker , take off your clothes and let the folks see that you are a human being, not a Yaksha."

"Commander Tamara, why is it me again? It's so cold today, people will freeze to death."

"Take off!"

"Yes."

Tucker had no choice but to take off his shirt, revealing his upper body, and showing his body to people.

Crack, Tamara whipped Tucker's back.Tucker yelled out in pain.

"You've all seen it, he can hurt and scream, that is to say, he's not a ghost, he's a human. If a ghost, he wouldn't know pain."

"Commander Tamara, can I get dressed?"

"Okay, you put it on. Folks, now my soldiers are going to your homes to fetch water for you. We want to use this move to prove that our volunteers are different from other officers and soldiers. Now, If any of you lack water in your home, you will come to our soldiers to pick it up. You don’t want money, you don’t want food, you don’t want anything, you just work for nothing.”

Tamara talked for a long time, but no one came out.

"Soldiers, they are all embarrassed, just like before, you go find work yourself."

"Yes, Captain Tamara."

The soldiers dispersed with a shout, and went to fetch water from each house.

When the soldiers left here, Xichun went to post leaflets everywhere.Daiyu set up a case with Guo Qisheng and Hua Yusheng, preaching something to people, and writing family letters, couplets and so on.

Liu Xianglian and Jiang Yuhan set up a stage and started singing.

The local people saw such a group of vicious people coming out of nowhere, so they didn't want to stay here, they just wanted to go home early and hide away.

But where did it go?
Some of the more courageous ones wanted to go outside.At this time, the soldiers first shot at the sky, and then another person took a jar, put it in a distance where no one was around, and smashed the jar with a single shot.

Seeing that the firearms were powerful, everyone dared not move.

For those who are more courageous, see Daiyu, Xichun, and Guo Qisheng.Hua Yusheng and the others seemed to be Han people, so they started talking with them.

Several people have seen this kind of scene a lot, and they have already summed up a fixed working mode, so they started talking with people.

He speaks Han dialect, although the accent is different, but he can understand it roughly.Chatting and chatting will bring out fellow villagers, so gradually people relax their guard.

The publicity effect of Liu Xianglian and Jiang Yuhan is actually the biggest.The common people love to go to the theater, and everyone boasted that the two are famous actors in the imperial capital, so more people put down their guard and started to watch the theater.

It is not easy for those soldiers with strange looks and abnormal skin colors to carry water for others.

It's not because of how tiring the work is, but mainly because it's difficult for the families to accept this kind of service.

However, after working more times, they have also summed up a set of fixed patterns.

When I arrived at a house, I didn't go into the yard first, but called someone outside the door first.When someone comes out, tell the woman to stay away.Then explain why.

The master is naturally unwilling to ask them to work, because such people and such things are really unheard of.

At this time, you have to rely on coercion.

In a team of two, one would force the owner with a gun, while the other went to work to fetch water.

The reason why they are in groups of two is to ensure their own safety.Otherwise, it is entirely possible for someone to be killed by accident.

The propaganda team led by Qingwen almost killed one of the local people last time.Going back and summing up the experience, I came up with the current method.

At noon, the soldiers returned one after another.They sent people to the stalls and shops to buy food, and they lined up in a corner to start eating.

Those stall owners and shop owners did not dare to accept the money, so the soldiers used the simplest method to force them with guns to accept the money.

at this time.The blockade of the intersection has been lifted, and the people can come in and out freely and move freely.

However, after getting along for a period of time, the common people are not so afraid.You can leave now, but they won't.

Those soldiers who worked for each family also gave money to eat, so naturally they were determined not to accept it.In a hurry, he also threatened with a gun, so the master refused to give it.

Daiyu, Tamara and Xichun are much more refined.

Their maid soldiers cleared out an open space for them, put cloths on the ground, and then put food on it. They sat on the ground and ate with the servant servants.Chewing slowly, it is different from soldiers.

Guo Qisheng, Hua Yusheng, Liu Xianglian, Jiang Yuhan and others also had some airs, which made people think that it was the same thing.

The most unlucky one is the black soldier Tucker.

Because he had taken off his clothes before, many people were curious and approached him to chat.Ask him to take off his clothes from time to time to see if he is a Yaksha in the underworld.

Some bold children would reach out and touch his skin tremblingly.I was surprised to see that it felt the same as my own skin.

At this time, Tucker will correct Tamara's wrong statement in time, saying that his skin is not tanned, but is born like this.So it caused people to talk about it.

It was already winter, and because he was always asked to take off his clothes to watch, Tucker was shivering from the cold, and even his nose came out.

Fortunately, Tamara asked someone to bring him a jug of wine at this time, and drank it in a hurry, which made her heart feel much warmer.

After dinner, the market will be over.These people began to pack their bags and soon left in a procession.

Until these people went far away, the local people were still ignorant.

After working for a long time, they didn't understand where these people came from.

Is it Dade's army, or Tianshun's army?Is it officers and soldiers, or bandits?What kind of army is that Beihai Volunteer Army?
However, there were still a few things that left a deep impression on them.

One is that this team is different from other officers and soldiers.Strict discipline, work for the common people without money, do not steal things, do not bully men and women.I will pay for everything I buy, so don't just rush with you.

The second is that these people came from Beihai, where Su Wu herded sheep. They claimed to be the descendants of Su Wu.

Of course, there are doubts about this.

First of all, although Su Wu stayed in Beihai for 19 years, he returned to Chang'an later.How come there are still descendants left there?

Secondly, even if there are offspring left behind, how could they grow up like this?Could it be that where did Su Wu marry a woman from another race, leaving behind these messy offspring?

The third is what these people said.

They said that they would beat whoever their chief officials told them to.Whoever refuses to accept will be beaten, and whoever blocks their way will be beaten.They beat anyone who dislikes them.

So, people were very happy, it seems that these people are pleasing to our eyes today, so they didn't beat us.

If it makes them dislike it, it will be a trouble, those firecrackers are very powerful.

A company led by Miaoyu and Qingwen each took on such propaganda tasks.The working mode is also similar to Tamara.

This model, Daiyu summed it up as armed propaganda.It is to use force to force others to accept their own indoctrination and services.

In fact, this method is also a last resort choice.

At the beginning, they also wanted to talk nicely to others, to speak kindly and politely.However, people simply ignored them, and when they saw them, they hid far away.

Later, it was Tamara who came up with this simple and crude method, which made it work.

Although this method is simple and crude, the effect is very good.

Once they are passed on from ten to ten, as long as they appear in a certain place, they will soon be known to all the villages.

As people spread word of mouth, people gradually knew that the leader of this team was Jia Min Jia Huaiyuan.

When Jia Min is mentioned, many people know about it.

It was Tanhua of the previous dynasty, after Rong Guogong, the younger brother of Concubine Jia Gui of the previous dynasty, who once defeated the Tatars in Vendura.

Now that he has returned with soldiers, what does he want to do?So people thought of Concubine Jia Gui and Prince Teng, the military governor of Beijing.

Could it be that he came to avenge them?
If people can think this way, Jia Min has achieved his goal.

After practicing siege warfare in Phoenix City for ten days, the [-]rd Brigade of the Beihai Volunteer Army left behind Shi Liu's [-]rd Regiment to guard Tongyangbao.Chen Yeqing led the first and second regiments back to Dadonggou and went to sea to attack Goryeo.

Jia Min took Tamara and Miaoyu upstream along the Yalu River and rushed to Huining to reunite with Xi Mairui, Wadagas and Shaq.

Prior to this, Dai Zhi had already taken the equipment and craftsmen from the ammunition factory to the Bronze Ram Fort, and put him under the protection of Shi Liuer.

Liu Cheng followed Chen Yeqing to act together.

Jiao Li followed Jia Min.The task of the two of them was to search for pig iron, saltpeter and other raw materials for making bullets and other strategic materials along the way as the troops advanced.

Goryeo is an important transit point on the Daedeok, Fusang, and Ross commercial roads, where there are still many smuggled strategic materials.

Obtaining these materials was also an important purpose of Jia Min's launch of the Koryo War.
