Chapter 8: Change

Sitting in the side hall, drinking tea slowly, listening to the clergyman Mad and Sharava chatting and not knowing what she was saying, Ye Zhao closed his eyes slightly, thinking about how to deal with the counterattack of the Rakshasa people after the spring flood.

Aihui City is on the bank of Heilongjiang River. At that time, I am afraid that the fleet of the Rakshasa people will bombard Aihui City. Although the Rakshasa ships are actually relatively backward, all of them are sailing ships and there are no iron-shelled steamers, the problem is that the Qing Dynasty is even worse. In the Heilongjiang area, some rafts and fishing boats can be used. How to fight against the Rakshasa people?

Although his secret letter has been sent out, the Dahur people pay close attention to the movements of the Rakshasa fleet, the plan is a plan after all. What should I do if I don’t cooperate? I cannot pin my hopes on unsure plans. I still need to prepare for the future and make more preparations.

If the industrial explosives in Hong Kong are put into production, I don’t know if they can be made into landmines or something. I don’t know much about this, but I have to discuss it with the technicians of the gunpowder factory. The gunpowder factory will be officially put into production next month, but unfortunately I am outside the pass and have no skills.

However, even if it can be made into a landmine, it cannot break the fleet. As for the mines, I know nothing about it. It seems that it is not something that can be created in this century.

How to defeat the enemy?

"Mr. Duke." Priest Mad called Ye Zhao gently.

Ye Zhao came back to his senses and opened his eyes, and saw that Priest Mad was looking at him with a wry smile, as if he didn't know how to speak.

"It's okay, you can just tell me if you have anything. You know, I like to listen to the truth." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Priest Mad coughed and said, "Miss Valentina came to Far East to marry her engaged partner. She refused to say who the engagement partner was, but she said that her first time had not been handed over to her beloved person and asked the Lord Duke to release her. She also said that she was willing to redeem herself with a thousand gold coins."

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Please tell her that if she refuses to tell her identity and the identity of her engagement partner, I will not let her go."

No matter what, Haric was dedicated to him as a treasure, and the new army trained a lot of hatred against the Rakshasa people, and he let him go in less than a day, but he couldn't explain it. As for Sharaba's identity, Ye Zhao didn't care much. Even if he captured Princess Rakshasa alive, it would have no impact on the situation in the Far East. At best, it could be multiple bargaining weights for future negotiations.

Now, the Rakshasa people will definitely not sit down to negotiate unless they ceded all the land left of Heilongjiang like in their previous life.

The best result now is to reach a settlement agreement with the Rakshasa people before the end of the Crimean war. The provisions can be ambiguous for the time being. It is inevitable to give the Rakshasa people some sweetness. Otherwise, when the Sino-British and French wars go together, there will be trouble outside the pass.

If you want to reach a settlement agreement with the Rakshasa people as soon as possible, you must give a practical threat to the Rakshasa people's fleet cruising in Heilongjiang after the spring flood.

There, Priest Mad and Sharava talked for a while, and finally Priest Mad said to Ye Zhao helplessly: "Miss Valentina is unwilling to tell her identity."

Ye Zhao didn't feel funny, but he couldn't even lie? He just told him who he was, who his fiancé was, and who knew the truth or falsehood?

He said, "There's nothing to say."

Priest Mad was about to persuade him again, but he heard the sound of footsteps outside. A young man named Dahur rushed in. Ye Zhao knew him and the first person to report to him about Zhao Jingzhong's military situation was him, and his name was Tuwa.

"Tuwa, go and talk to the study." Seeing that Tuwa's face was quite wrong, Ye Zhao thought the military situation had changed, so he was naturally not good to be heard by Priest Mad and Sharava.

Who knew that Tuva suddenly knelt down on both knees and kowtowed Ye Zhao three times, which made Ye Zhao stunned. You must know that the Dahur people felt a little like being a foreigner, and at most they hit a thousand knees, but I have never seen them give such a big gift to people.

"General, please save my relatives!" Tuva said and kowtowed again, and his forehead soon became bruised and swollen.

"Get up, what's going on? Tell me, are the Rakshasa people coming to fight Qiufeng again? Which village is in? When I see if there are divine artillery and troupe brave formations near me?" If there are new troupe braves near the harassed village, they must go to rescue. Now the new troupe braves and troupe braves are not afraid of confronting the Rakshasa people head-on, and even dare to fight with the few enemies.

But Tuva was unable to get up and said sadly: "General, he is not a Rakshasa ghost, but a flag soldier from Wuyun City. He went to Bowerhutun five days ago, killed and injured more than a dozen villagers, and captured my brother-in-law who was 'Gasanda', saying that if he did not hand over a hundred best marten fur by the end of the month, he would beat my brother-in-law to death!"

"General, please save my relatives!" Tuva kowtowed repeatedly.

Wuyun City? Ye Zhao frowned. Wuyun City was under the jurisdiction of the three deputy chief ministers. Going further up is the general of Jilin. Lan Yu, the deputy chief minister of the three surnames, had seen him. The clan of the royal family is very arrogant and not a person who can talk to him.

The village head of the "Gasanda" in Tuva's mouth is similar to the village heads. It was the Qing Dynasty that managed border residents and clans' surname chief system. The leader of each clan and tribe was appointed as the chiefs of the surnames of Halada, Gasanda and other clans, township chiefs, and village heads to manage border residents.

Nowadays, the war with the people of Rakshasa is in urgent need. Not only are the soldiers in Wuyun City not only unable to help, but they also have time to fight the border people Qiufeng, but they are really a mess.

Ye Zhao pondered for a moment, immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll go to Wuyun City with you and get people back."

When Tuva was stunned, he thought that the general was willing to write a letter to the guard of Wuyun City, so he was already very kind, but he didn't want the general to get up and go with him.

Tuva hurriedly said, "Mr. General, you can't do it. You are busy with military affairs. If you are willing to write a letter to the young man, you will be grateful." He said that, and kowtowed again.

Ye Zhao felt really uncomfortable when he saw him. This Tuwa was tied to his belt and fought hard with the Rakshasa people. Is it just for himself? The Rakshasa people have also implemented a policy of winning over the border people. Tuwa must not understand the great principles and will not have any idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, but he must think that the Rakshasa people and their Dahurs are not the same way, but an instinctive resistance, after all, the racial differences are obvious.

But on the one hand, the soldiers he protected killed and injured his friends and captured his relatives. However, he was so simple that he only asked himself to write a letter and let his relatives go, and he thanked him very much.

How could this be favorable? Ye Zhao sighed, helped Tuwa up, and said, "No need to say more, just follow me."
