Chapter 241 The Demise of the Tsarist Russian Expedition Part One
Chapter 241 The Destruction of the Tsarist Russian Expedition (1)
After lunch, in Zhao Xin's tent, Mergua began to introduce the situation of the red-haired camp in detail to Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng. Wukanbei was still in charge of the translation.
"Two miles to the north of the village is a lake, and across the lake to the north is the sea. In the past, when we went to the mainland, we would row from there. Then we moved to the south, and every year we had to walk a long way west to go to the mainland. .”
Zhao Xin asked Mergua: "How many days does it take to walk from here to the red-haired man's camp?"
Mergu made an estimate and immediately replied: "It takes two to three days to walk southwest and pass through a forest. If you go quickly, you can get there in two days."
Zhao Xin took out a map of Bitter Leaf Island, pointed to the lagoon in the northwest corner and asked, "Is it this lake?"
Mergu'a came up and looked at it carefully for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I don't understand."
Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng frowned and looked at each other. This was a bit troublesome. The lagoon was quite large and they could only guess its approximate location, but they couldn't figure out the location of the dock and where the ship docked. Deng Fei's side There is no way to support them by boat. It is no problem to fight on land, but it would be a hassle if the opponent escapes by boat. The entire Bitterleaf Island can be landed everywhere, so it is impossible to prevent it.
"We should first find out the location of the opponent's camp and dock before we can take action." Liu Sheng took the initiative to take a squad to investigate. The purpose was to find out the situation of the opponent's camp and the location of the entrance to the lagoon, so that the Thunderbolt could be blocked in the lagoon. Exit. Block 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 ship was of suitable size, it could be used for coal transportation between Ezochi and Beihai Town in the future. Faced with Liu Sheng's proposal, he nodded in agreement. " Then you can take a group of people to leave tomorrow morning. From the map, it’s almost a hundred miles away, and we’ll be there in two or three days.”
Liu Sheng asked Mergu'a to send one of his men as a guide to accompany him. Mergu'a hurriedly agreed and said to Liu Sheng: "God Bear, I asked Sembakul to go with you. He is very familiar with this area."
Liu Sheng's face turned dark when he heard this. He thought to himself that he had offended someone. Why do people always associate him with bears?! He frowned and said to Wu Kambei: "Tell him not to use it again." If this god or that god calls us, we should call him sir, or sir!"
After hearing Wukambe's translation, Mergua was so frightened that he stood up and apologized. Zhao Xin waved his hands indifferently and said: "Forget it, why are you arguing with a native? Didn't you hear what Wukambe said, Feiyaka People just believe this. If you really want to talk about science to them, they might treat you as a devil. Just take your time."
After Zhao Xin finished teasing, he told Wu Kambei: "If you want to take revenge, you must promise me something first."
Wu Kambei said: "As long as you let me kill the red-haired man, I will agree to anything."
"Okay! Tomorrow you will go with Mr. Liu, and you will still be responsible for translating. But you must remember that you must not do anything without Mr. Liu's order, otherwise you will go back to where you came from."
"Why?" Wukambe asked unconvinced with his eyes wide open.
Zhao Xin's face sank and he said: "You are a soldier in Beihai Town now, you must obey the command! We are going to wipe out all these red-haired people this time, and no one can escape. So you must not act rashly, otherwise it will destroy our event!"
Wu Kambei looked stern, then understood Zhao Xin's intention, stood up and stood at attention and said: "Yes!"
Early the next morning, Liu Sheng took a squad of soldiers and set off with Sembakul. Before leaving, he made an agreement with Zhao Xin that if he didn't come back in six days, something should have happened, and Zhao Xin would take him with him.
The soldiers go directly over.
Three days later, in a dense jungle more than a hundred miles southwest of the mouth of the Oha River, several members of the Tsarist Russian expedition who had been released from the Siberian penal colony were sitting bored at the door of a wooden house smoking.
At this time, Orlov, the officer of the expedition team, shouted to these people: "You guys! Have you put paste on your buttocks? Get up and dig coal!"
A guy sitting on a wooden stake said in a sinister tone: "Officials, don't be so arrogant! Damn it, you brought me from Irkutsk to this damn place, saying that you were bringing us to make a fortune, but every day
Just digging coal!”
Lutsenko smoked the bitter and astringent native tobacco leaves and scolded: "Be quiet, bitch! This is better than feeding mosquitoes in Siberia, right?" He turned to look at the officer Orlov.
, said: "Women! We need women!"
Orlov stamped the floor hard with the spurs of his boots, and shouted impatiently: "Women? Come here! Damn it, I won't get up and let you taste the taste of the riding crop!"
Luchenko, however, did not take Orlov seriously at all. He said disdainfully: "Don't show off your arrogance here! I was pardoned by the Governor! When I get rich, I will no longer be a prisoner on death row, but a master!"
"
With a "pop" sound, the riding crop hit Luchenko's back. Orlov narrowed his eyes and said disdainfully: "I want you to remember the taste of the whip first! Go to work quickly!"
Since the Tsarist Russian expedition captured this place twenty years ago and drove away the Feyaka people, they have begun to set up camps here, mine coal, and then transport it back to their stronghold on the Kamchatka Peninsula by ship. If there are women in this kind of place, they will
Come on, then you saw a ghost!
The members of these expeditions were mainly composed of soldiers from Irkutsk and death row prisoners from Siberia. Because they had nothing and all the good guys were dead, they were extremely brutal when fighting the Feyaka people, often leaving no survivors behind.
Because the local Feyaka people are afraid of them and avoid them. Occasionally, they catch a few indigenous women, but they will die because they resist desperately or cannot bear to be ravaged. So far, there are only seven or eight left in the camp.
Aboriginal women help them with laundry and cooking.
Because the Tsarist Russian expedition was worried about angering the Qing Dynasty on the other side, they did not dare to make a big splash after occupying this territory, and they did not expand thereafter. In the past twenty years, the development of local open-pit coal mines has become very mature. Starting from the summer,
Several ships come from Kamchatka every month to transport coal and supplies. When the sea freezes in winter, the expedition team stops digging coal and enters the state of cat winter. This kind of life is very boring, so
The people who come every year are almost all death row inmates or exiles from Siberia.
At this time, a guy named Klujinko suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes and said to everyone with a smile: "You don't know, a woman is coming!"
"What?" Lutsenko's eyes suddenly widened. Several other slackers were also alerted and asked quickly.
"It's a death row prisoner named Lyubasha. I heard that she poisoned her husband to death, so..." Kludzinko said with a smile on his face.
Lutsenko laughed and cursed: "I'm sure the person who can do such a thing must be a coquettish bitch!"
"Where are the people? Where are the people? When will they come?"
"Bastard, who did you listen to?"
"The crewman who came to transport coal said it. He said that the next ship will send people here."
"The next trip? How many days will it take to wait? I'm going crazy!"
Klujinko shook his head and said: "I didn't say that. Anyway, the next boat should arrive soon."
The prisoners were immediately overjoyed and began to fantasize and look forward to the scene of the woman's arrival. Three hundred meters above their heads, a drone painted silver gray floated overhead.
Sembakul was walking on the way back, feeling very surprised. He ran for more than a hundred miles and stayed for a day before heading back. He didn't even see the shadow of the red-haired man! Although he was very interested in nothing.
Man-machine showed great interest, but he had no idea what the use of that thing was.
Two days later, when Liu Sheng and his party returned to the Oha River camp and reported the investigation situation to Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin said with a smile: "Now it's time to discuss terms with that Mergua."
"What are you going to talk about?"
"Coal Mines of the West."
It turns out that in the few days that Liu Sheng left, only two of the five earthen kilns were in operation. The main reason was that the charcoal supply could not keep up. It took more than sixteen hours to burn charcoal once, and as a result, most of the people were now at a loss.
They were all cutting down trees to burn charcoal. Although charcoal has a higher calorific value than coke, hundreds of towering trees were wasted like this. Zhao Xin felt that it was too wasteful!
According to the information available at hand, Zhao Xin knew that the largest coal mine in the west of Kuye Island was located in a seaport city called "Alexandrovsk" in another time and space; it was also the location of Kuye Island from the 19th to the 20th century.
The largest coal mining center on Ye Island. It would be a pity not to take advantage of this opportunity!
So the condition that Zhao Xin put forward to Mergua was that the coal mine and oil mining rights on the entire Kuye Island belonged to Beihai Town, and the negotiations between Beihai Town and other tribes on the island were left to Mergua. On this basis,
On the top, Beihai Town will be responsible for protecting the Mergua tribe, opening up trade, and providing all the daily necessities of the Mergua tribe.
Regarding the issue of paying taxes to the Qing court, Zhao Xin still suggested that Mergua continue to implement it. The first was to avoid disturbing the situation, and the second was to connect Feyaka people from various ministries when participating in the Wulin appreciation.
After hearing Zhao Xin's conditions, Mergu'a said that there was no problem at all. Only a fool would not agree if he could avoid offending both parties and get huge benefits.
Now that everything is settled, let's get started without further delay. Two platoons were left in the camp to guard the camp, and the guard company and another platoon formed a reinforced company and dispatched. In addition, Zhao Xin ordered another hundred people to be recruited from the refugee workers.
There are many people, and their task is to help set up camps along the way, and later they are responsible for cleaning the battlefield and clearing up the seizures.
After receiving the order, Deng Fei launched the Thunderbolt and set off. His mission was to reach the exit of the lagoon two days later and implement a blockade. If the Tsarist Russians escape by boat, they will be sunk!
Early the next morning, Liu Sheng led the reinforced company to set off, and Zhao Xin followed closely with a team of migrant workers. In order to see the force of Beihai Town, Mergua and the other seven also joined Zhao Xin's rear team. Zhao Xin
I have listened to a lot of Manchu these days and can speak a little bit of it, which can be used for general communication with Mergua.
At noon two days later, Liu Sheng and the others arrived at a position one kilometer east of the Tsarist Russian camp. He ordered each platoon to enter the preset position and knock down the opponent's sentry first. Then, a platoon from the south launched the attack first, encircling the east and west, and driving away the Tsarist Russian camp.
People ran towards the northern port.
At this time, Zhao Xin also put on the all-terrain camouflage uniform that he had not worn for a long time. He took his HK416 and a group of migrant workers armed with axes, pickaxes and other tools, preparing to cooperate with the encirclement operation.
Zhao Xin held a gun and painted camouflage on his face, and shouted to his migrant workers: "You all remember, no one is allowed to rush in without my order! The bullets will not have eyes by then!"
"Yes, sir. We understand this." All the migrant workers nodded in agreement, saying that they had been talking about it every day for the past two days, and their ears were numb from listening to it.
"Everything seized must be returned to the public. No personal possession is allowed! Violators will not be given food for three days! However, there will be rewards after this battle, 2 silver dollars per person!" As soon as these words came out, more than a hundred people immediately became energetic.
, holding the ax and pickaxe in his hands and becoming menacing.
According to Liu Sheng's investigation, there are almost more than 200 Russians in the coal mine, and there are more than 20 in the northern port. It is easy to defeat them, but the key is not to let any of them escape.
He personally led the platoon responsible for launching the attack in the south. More than thirty soldiers had camouflage on their faces and camouflaged themselves with shrubs and weeds. When they approached a position 200 meters away from the Tsarist Russian camp
At that time, Ukanbe, with the cooperation of a soldier, holding a dagger, launched a sneak attack on the Tsarist Russian soldier on the sentry post in front.
Wu Kambei and his comrades crawled around behind the Tsarist Russian soldiers from the grass thirty meters away, and crept forward. When they approached the position seven or eight meters behind the Tsarist Russian soldiers, Wu Kambei nodded to his comrades.
, took the dagger out of his mouth and slowly leaned forward.
When he was still two or three meters away from the Tsarist Russian, Ukanbe jumped on the Tsarist Russian's back with a lunge, pulled the Tsarist Russian's head hard with his left hand, and slashed the carotid artery with the sharp blade of his right hand.
.At the same time, his comrade also rushed forward, and the two of them used force to bring the other person to the ground.
The Tsarist Russian soldier didn't expect that someone would attack him. He felt a heavy weight on his back and a chill on his neck, and was immediately thrown to the ground.
When the donated blood began to spurt out, huge pain followed! The Tsarist Russian soldier was frightened, clutching his neck and struggling. Although the blood in the carotid artery gurgled out, he still had great strength in his hands and feet.
Campbell went crazy and pressed the opponent's head with both hands, pushing it into the soil as hard as he could. His posture seemed to crush the opponent's head. While his comrades desperately pressed the opponent's head with both arms.
He tied the legs of the Tsarist Russian soldier and straddled his opponent upside down, pressing him hard.
After a while, the legs of the Tsarist Russian soldier beneath him twitched a few times and stopped moving. Ukanbe and his comrades were covered in blood.
"You're so stupid!" Liu Sheng cursed in his heart. But there was nothing he could do about it. The Tsarist Russians were tall, but the soldiers in Beihai Town were all small. It was really difficult for two people to deal with one of them with bare hands.
At this time, at the sentry post a hundred meters away to the west, two other soldiers also succeeded. They were more capable than Ukanbeli. They first cut the throat with a knife, and then stabbed the Tsarist man in the back of the head with the knife, immediately killing him.
Out of breath.
At this time, most of the Tsarist Russians in the camp went to the coal mines to dig coal, the officers were resting in the house, and a few Feyaka women were washing clothes by the pool.
A voluptuous-looking woman 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 threw the woman who had just left
The skirt fished out of the water fell to the ground.
"Ah! You stupid pig! That's my best dress! I'll beat you to death!"
After the woman finished speaking, she leaned over and picked up a wooden stick at 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 Feyaka woman below her screamed.
The officer Orlov who was resting pushed the door open and cursed at the woman: "Liubasha, you vicious mad woman! Just wash your clothes after they get dirty. There are only a few working women here."
, are you going to arrest the natives after being wounded or killed?!"
Lyubasha was bored. She hit this woman just to vent her evil anger. As a former Siberian death row prisoner, she was not a bad person, so she put her hands on her hips and started to scold Orlov.
Suddenly, Liubasya saw that Orlov's head seemed to have been hit hard with a hammer. First, he leaned back violently, and then fell straight to the muddy ground; then, there was a slight and sudden blow.
Another sharp roar came from the woods behind him.
Liubasya felt a little strange. She held the wooden stick and dodged the mud on the ground with her feet, and walked quickly to Orlov. She saw a fist-sized hole on the back of Orlov's head, and there was blood.
The brain mixed with pink slowly flowed out.
"Ah!" Lyubaxia let out a long scream, finally breaking the tranquility of the dense forest.
I remember reading some information before that basically when a person is hit by a bullet, he falls in the same direction as the bullet. That is, where the bullet comes from, the person falls.
