The barbarians looked tall, but there was no cooperation. Seeing their appearance clearly, the soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army had no fear. If they were really monsters, they might really tremble, but they were just a group of burly barbarians.
What's so scary?
The evil fire that had been suppressed for two days finally had a chance to vent. The soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army seemed to have changed their temperament and became bloodthirsty and violent. They captured everyone in the village, regardless of men, women, old or young, and killed them all. Before, they boiled people in boiling water.
, the scene of everyone sharing food is still flashing before our eyes. How can we let such uncivilized barbarians go? Talk to them about civilization. Damn it if they can understand.
The weirdos in black feathers finally realized that they had offended the wrong person. About an hour later, all the barbarians in the village were killed, and their bodies were piled in the open space of the generals. They were originally tracking the barbarians.
Unexpectedly, there were some unexpected gains in this village. When cleaning the village, the soldiers caught a few Germans who had not been eaten in a thatched house. Each of these Germans had pale faces and narrow eyes.
He was as thin as skin and bones, and it was obvious that he had not had a full meal for many days. It is estimated that these people also knew the fate of those dead companions. When they saw a group of Eastern soldiers rushing in, they were still unresponsive, as numb as dead people.
Zhou Dingshan did not kill these German prisoners, but took them back. The cannibals were wiped out and their bodies were brought back. After tens of thousands of soldiers learned that the attackers were a group of weird barbarians and not monsters, they were relieved.
The fear before was gone, especially after seeing the corpses of the barbarians, and there was no doubt anymore. An older man patted his cheek hard and muttered a few words alone. It was really embarrassing.
They were just a group of barbarians dressed in weird ways, but they were so frightening that they could not even sleep peacefully.
The cannibal incident was causing quite a stir, but now it has been resolved, and everyone is very happy. Tie Mo also gave some words of encouragement, and the stone that was weighing on his chest was finally thrown away.
An army of more than 100,000 people is going on an expedition to Siberia. They will definitely encounter many things along the way. Everyone has a lack of understanding of this land and feels it is very mysterious. They are afraid of encountering some weird things, especially those Tuva people.
He was very superstitious. When he first met the cannibals, Igor even led the Mongols to offer sacrifices to the sky.
Fortunately, everything was found out. After gathering the generals, Tie Mo frowned and said calmly, "Now everyone should understand that there are no monsters, they are just some uncivilized barbarians. If we encounter this kind of thing in the future,
I hope everyone will stop scaring themselves and causing a blow to the morale of the entire army."
Tie Mo glanced at Igor next to him intentionally or unintentionally. Elizabeth couldn't help but feel a little depressed. This Igor was really messy. As soon as the cannibal thing happened, Igor said it was a warning from heaven. There were monsters and monsters ahead, so he had to lead them.
The servant army returned. Igor's behavior is simply a typical example of confusing the morale of the army. If it were not for the current special situation and Elizabeth's advice, Igor would have been dealt with by military law. Feeling Tie Mo's eyes,
Igor also blushed a little. He was also afraid that Tie Mo would remember this incident, so he quickly stood up and saluted, "Don't worry, Supervisor, Xiaohan will strictly restrain his subordinates in the future."
"It's good that the Khan understands. In addition, I hope that the Khan will be more attentive. I will ask Princess Elizabeth to help you control your subordinates. Don't keep an eye on me about drinking in the army. If I am discovered to be drinking again,
"People, don't blame me for being rude." Tie Mo's sharp eyes made Igor's heart pound.
It is not a secret that the Tuva people drink. In the past, considering that they were all servants and the Tuva people were not very disciplined, they turned a blind eye. Now that they have caught the Tuva people, they naturally want to
This problem is solved.
Igor didn't dare to object, let alone say anything, because it was Igor who led the Tuva people to drink. In a ghost place like Siberia, the winter is as cold as anything. If you don't drink, you will freeze to death. But.
He did not dare to refute, because the regular soldiers of the Northern Shanxi Army never drank alcohol, and they were not seen freezing to death. Of course, many people suffered from frostbite. From now on, they will no longer be able to drink alcohol, and the superintendent must also strengthen the control of the servant army. Fortunately, the soldiers sent
It's Princess Elizabeth. If Zhou Dingshan or Shang Kexi is sent here, Igor will be trembling with fear.
The German prisoners finally recovered a lot. After some interrogation, Vomar also got a lot of information. From several Germanic people, he learned that not only the cannibal tribe was near Kuleika, but also the cannibals.
Other barbarians, when the German cavalry were stationed in Kuleika, many of their supplies were robbed. Tie Mo's previous guess was also correct. The reason why the Germans abandoned Kuleika so decisively was because they wanted to take advantage of the barbarians.
, to attack the baggage of the Northern Shanxi Army.
There is no way to judge whether the information received from the Germans is accurate, but it has to be taken seriously. Wang Zuogao grabbed a piece of charcoal, threw it into the brazier, and considered the next arrangement, "Superintendent, if those Germans said
is true, then we really have to be more careful. As the Western Expedition gets farther and farther, Kulejka will become a very important transit point for us, and we must ensure that nothing goes wrong. Even if we spend more time
, we must also clean up the nearby barbarian tribes to avoid any worries."
"Well, you are right. The commander-in-chief did not think carefully before. I thought that the march would be very smooth without the Slavic and Germanic armies to block it. Now it seems that the situation here is more complicated than we imagined.
Fortunately, it is not that easy for Lothair and Vyacher's troops to cross the mountains of the North. We still have some time. In this way, you can come up with a plan as soon as possible, and we will try to capture Currie within five days.
Clean up the troubles near Ika." Tie Mo felt helpless. He thought that relying on the cavalry, he would advance quickly, but now it is estimated that Xiao Zhiyun's advancement speed is faster than his own.
Wang Zuoguan was a very qualified dog-headed strategist. When Tie Mo threw the burden over him, he had to think hard and conscientiously. By night, he had a relatively complete plan. In order to clean up the troubles around him, Wang Zuoguan spent 20,000 yuan.
There are many people, and the scouts search ahead. The 20,000-strong army is divided into eight small groups of soldiers and horses. They spread out and search around, extending for thirty miles in all directions. It is best to search the entire forest. For the Northern Shanxi Army, this is a huge thing.
Who knows how big this jungle is? If we continue like this, we don’t know how long it will take. I’m afraid tens of thousands of troops will have to be stationed in Kuleika for a while.
After the search plan was issued, all ministries prepared step by step. Not long after Igor returned to his tent, Elizabeth broke in. Seeing Elizabeth's angry little face, Igor knew that the next step would not be easy. Elizabeth sat down.
On the cushion, Mei stared at Igor next to her, "Igor, how many times have I told you, but you just don't listen. Drinking is not allowed in the army. This is a military order. If the supervisor doesn't care about this princess,
In terms of face, can you endure it until now? If the Western Expedition can defeat Volkan's lackeys, it will do no harm to the Tuva tribe. However, if it fails, the Northern Shanxi Army may not suffer heavy losses. Once it returns,
When we get to the Siberian city, the situation of the Tuva tribe is not very good. In recent years, the Northern Shanxi Army has turned a blind eye to the Tuva people, and the commander-in-chief has not paid much attention to them, but it does not mean that they are afraid of you."
What Elizabeth said is true. Over the years in Yun Mansion, her horizons have broadened a lot. The Northern Jin Army did not attack the Siberian tribes, not because they were afraid, but because they felt it was unnecessary. However, some nobles were self-righteous and thought that the Northern Shan Army
Such tolerance is due to fear of the strength of each tribe. It is really ridiculous. The Tuva tribe is so powerful, how can it be better than the Jurchen cavalry? Compared with the Jurchens, the Tuva tribe is just a piece of loose sand. The corners of Igor's mouth twitched and he laughed twice in embarrassment.
, "Princess, it's all Igor's fault. It's just that it's such a cold day and I'm not allowed to drink some wine."
"You also said," Elizabeth was too lazy to say any more, and stood up and said with a cold face, "Igor, since this princess is here, she can't ignore it. If the governor sends Zhou Dingshan and those people over again, it won't be so easy to talk to.
From tomorrow on, Igor, you should take a sick break and take a rest. Since you are too embarrassed to do anything, then I will come here in person. I don’t believe it anymore. What the Orientals can do, why can’t we do it?
"
Elizabeth walked out of the tent angrily. Looking at her back, Igor blew his beard and glared in anger.
The next day, news came out from the servant army that Khan Igor had contracted the cold, and Elizabeth was temporarily in charge of military affairs. Elizabeth had worked in the Yun Mansion over the years, and she had also developed the habit of being vigorous and resolute, and she had won the honorable title.
Khan made a direct attack on the Green Cang tribe under Igor. Khan O'Sullivan of the Green Cang tribe was pulled outside the tent and whipped fifty times because the leader was drunk. O'Sullivan was whipped half to death.
, the military power in her hands was also taken away by Elizabeth. As soon as O'Sullivan's incident happened, the Tuva ministries finally realized that Elizabeth was not joking, this was serious. Later, the drinking culture among the Tuva army also changed.
Was stopped.
Just a few days after Elizabeth took command of the Tuva camp, the various Tuva ministries were being tortured. Several Tuva nobles wanted to ask Igor for comment, but were blocked by the guards at the door. Suben was very angry recently. The monster had eaten him before.
I was so frightened by the human affairs, but as soon as the matter was over, Elizabeth came to make trouble again. Although Elizabeth was a princess, this was not the era of the old Tsar Ivanovich family, so why should Elizabeth be allowed to dictate?
In this era, Tuva's preference for boys over girls is even worse than that of the Ming Dynasty. Women have no other use than giving birth to children and reproducing. On the Tuva Plateau, women are accessories to the winner. Before Elizabeth
A whip is so powerful that it makes people panic. How could Subon endure it?
After struggling with several Tuva nobles, Suben came to the tooth tent angrily. As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by a burly Tuva man. How could Suben take it seriously? He said angrily, "Uli,
I am going to see the Great Khan and discuss important matters."
"Sir Suben, the Khan is seriously ill and can't do anything. If you have any questions, just ask Mr. Hai." Wuli stood at the door with an expressionless face, showing no intention of giving way. This made Suben very angry.
But he didn't dare to mess around. Although Wuli's status was not high and his background was not very good, he was a trusted confidant of Igor. After writing for a long time, he could not persuade Wuli, so Suben could only think.
He reluctantly left. In the handsome tent, Igor sat on a soft cushion, his eyes full of helplessness. He heard clearly what Uli and Suben said, but there was nothing he could do about it. Igor
Is it impossible to betray the Ivan family in this life?
Besides, the princess did so many things not for the sake of Igor.
There was an uproar among the people in Tuva, but Tie Mo ignored it and let Elizabeth go. This step was really the right one. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Elizabeth would cure all the tribes in Tuva.
You are obedient. In the future expedition to Tomsk, we must also rely on the power of the Tuva people and twist the Tuva people into a rope as soon as possible. There are only advantages and no disadvantages. If you are so lazy, sooner or later something will happen, "Zhu'er,
How is the recent campaign to suppress the barbarians in the surrounding areas going?"
"The progress is going quite smoothly. There are more than fifty miles from the north of Kuleika to the edge of the jungle. Now we have almost hunted them down. At the foot of the edge mountain, there are no less than ten barbarian tribes." Hailanzhu said seriously
, Tie Mo also listened very carefully. There were more than a dozen barbarian tribes and nearly 20,000 barbarians. Fortunately, they had the patience to slowly clean up the surrounding areas. If they were too impatient, they could directly cross Kuleika and head west. I am afraid that these
The barbarians are about to cause trouble.
If the food route is not guaranteed, what is the use of reaching Tomsk?
The operation to clear out the barbarians in Kuleika is in full swing, and the southern army is also advancing as planned. The landscape of the south of the Yenisei River is very different from that of the north. The north has dense jungles and many mountains, while in the south, the terrain is uneven.
There are dense rivers, especially in the east of Tomsk, and there are many uninhabited swamps.
After several days of marching, the 50,000-strong army finally entered the Jegus Gobi. In the area south of the Yenisey River, the landscape is so complicated, with rivers crisscrossing it, but there is also a barren Gobi Desert. In many cases, there is a swamp beyond the Gobi Desert. Not to mention
During this period, even hundreds of years later, there were still not many people in this area. In order to avoid accidents, Liu Guoneng slowed down his marching speed. Since passing Tomsk, the tens of thousands of troops were crawling like snails.
Very ashamed. Shang Kexi has been commanding the cavalry for these years, and has been doing all kinds of vertical and horizontal charges and long-distance raids. He is crawling like a snail all of a sudden. It is really unbearable. "General Liu, can we march faster than the supervisor?"
"
Liu Guoneng looked calm and showed no signs of panic, "Why, you don't have confidence? Do you think the road to the north is that easy? After the Germans withdrew to Kuleika, there was no big move. Why? Do you really think that
Are the Germans so frightened by us that they dare not move? I heard something from the locals a few days ago. There are many uncivilized barbarian tribes living in the northern jungle. The Germans do not dare to move easily. They are probably afraid that these barbarians will come.
We'll have to worry about it later. So, the army on the northern route is not much faster than us. I guess they are busy hunting down those barbarians right now."
