Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 532

On May 1791, 5, as the ice on the Nen River subsided, the waterway of the Nen River—Songhua River, which had been suspended for several months, was finally opened to navigation.

Speaking of which, although Zhao Xin took down Dasheng Ula with a feint shot two years ago, his purpose was to attract the defenders of Jilin City and create opportunities for the Eastern Front troops to capture Hunchun.

You must know that Dasheng Ula City is only [-] miles away from Jilin Ula, and it is stuck in the Songhua River waterway. Fukang'an has to take it back no matter what.For the Beihai Navy, if they really want to occupy Dashang Ula and not leave, they will have to fight the Qing army every two or three days.This place is far away from Ninggu Pagoda and Hunchun, surrounded by the Qing army on three sides, so there is no point in staying there, so when the Battle of Hunchun ended, the Northern Navy quickly withdrew from Dasang Ula.

".Songhua River, the river is clear, the vast waves are rushing, and the clouds are blooming for thousands of miles~~"

At dusk, with the melodious singing of the boatmen, a flat-bottomed cargo ship from the lower reaches of the Songhua River docked at the wharf ferry in the south of Dashan Ula City.After the boat stopped and the gangway was set up, several guests who took the boat bid farewell to the boss of the boat, and then walked off the boat.

After getting off the boat, the 15-year-old Ewenki Oolong looked around curiously.He came here on this trip because he was ordered by the North Navy Staff Headquarters to deliver something to the intelligence station in Jilin City.

In the 53rd year of Qianlong's reign, when the Northern Navy attacked Aihui City, Oolong, who ran into Zhao Xin, wanted to follow him as a soldier.But he was too young at that time, and Ama had just been rescued by Wu Xianning from the brink of death because of a gunshot wound. Zhao Xin used this as an excuse to ask him to spend time with his father first, and wait until the injury healed.

The problem is that even Chen Jishan can't keep up with Zhao Xin's elusive traces, let alone an oolong.A few months later, seeing that Ama's injury was almost recovered, Oolong began to grind Guo Dalu, who was in charge of Heilongjiang City, every day.

After going back and forth, Guo Dalu was almost driven crazy by this kid, and finally told the truth.He told Oolong that there were no slaves under the rule of Beihai Town, so there was no Geshha either.Besides, you are only 12 years old, so you can't be a guard at all. If you want to be a soldier, you should go to the Junior Military Academy.

So Xiao Wulong first studied in the school in Heilongjiang City for a year, and then took the recommendation letters written by Guo Dalu and Sheng Haizhou to the Junior Military Academy in Beihai Town.The reason why he was exceptionally admitted was because this kid knew both Manchu and Mongolian, and he could also speak Chinese. Such language talents were really rare in the juvenile military academy where the majority were Han and naturalized islanders.

In the first half of last year, Wang Changsheng, who had withdrawn from northern Jiangsu, received a new order from Zhao Xin to form the Northern Navy Intelligence Bureau, which was under the Northern Navy Staff Headquarters.In the process of selecting candidates, Wang Changsheng accidentally heard that there was a boy in the Junior Military Academy who could speak both Mongolian and Chinese very fluently. After meeting him, he found that the boy was quite clever, so Wulong became a member of the Intelligence Bureau in a daze. The first batch of team members.

One of the first tasks of the Intelligence Bureau after its establishment was to send intelligence agents to Ula City, Jilin, where the Qing army was entrenched, and set up a station.According to the system set up by Zhao Xin, the telegraph communication part needs to change the cipher book every three months.

Although there is no need to worry about someone eavesdropping these days, intelligence work is not a matter of [-], just in case; if a telegraph operator secretly surrenders to the enemy, most of Beihai Town's secrets will be exposed to Manqing.

Coincidentally, the traffic officer of the Hezhen ethnic group who was in charge of regularly delivering codebooks to Jilin City suffered from acute appendicitis and was hospitalized for surgery, so this task fell on Oolong's head. The 15-year-old Oolong is not tall, with broad shoulders, a round face, squinted eyes, high cheekbones, a flat nose bridge, and flared nose wings. He looks very much like a Mongolian in terms of eyebrows and complexion.

In order not to be seen through Xingzang, Oolong first took Heilongjiang City to detour to Morgan, and then found a cargo ship to go south.Because he was carrying a letter of appointment from the "Ba Zong" of the Ministry of War of the Qing court that had been carefully forged by the intelligence bureau, after getting off the boat, Wulong went to the "Jinzhu Efulo Bingyi Station" south of Dasang Ula to stay.It is 65 miles away from Jilin City, and he can get a horse from the post station with documents.

Since Jilin Ula is currently on the front line of the confrontation with Beihai Town, in order to strengthen the connection with Boduna, Al Chuka and Qiqihar, there is an endless flow of military papers and materials from south to north, transporting food, salaries, arms and various Miscellaneous military supplies and escort officers and soldiers are endless.

The post roads on the north and south lines of Jilin City averaged one stop every fifty miles, and the fires were kept burning day and night in all the military post stations; as long as there were fire signs and documents, sorghum rice, steamed buns, steamed buns, and stewed meat were all under control.

Oolong has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and after he moved into the inn, he didn't dare to talk to these people too much.After the boat passed the Bayannifulo side gate with the wicker side wall, you can see the endless land and water camps on the east bank of the Songhua River. On the east side of the camp, a system of trenches and fortresses with a width of several miles was dug.Rao Wulong had seen the military power of the Northern Navy, and seeing the strength of the Manchu Qing, he couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue, thinking that it was a waste of time, and when the cannons were fired, they would all go for fun!

After dinner, it was already dark. Wulong was lying in the small guest house and was about to fall asleep under the covers when he suddenly heard loud footsteps outside. The blurry windows shone brightly.He jumped to the ground with a "crash", and was about to check close to the crack of the door, when he heard someone outside began to yell loudly:
"Squat down, squat down! Thief mother, I have to hit him with the back of a knife, can I be honest if I'm a coward?"

"The one with the fur hat, squat over there! Raise your hands up for me! Kneeling? Kneeling is fine!"

"Ni!" Another person shouted: "What kind of place is this, you dare to pee when you take off your trousers, Niedsi's egg hurts?!"

Standing behind the door, Oolong heard a "slap" slap on the face, and then there was a pleading pleading voice with tears in his voice: "I beg the master to give you some food... I have a sick forehead... I really can't walk... "

"Thief nun mother!" The same rough voice just now scolded: "Ni is a drug seller. If he is dead and comes to flirt with Beihai pirates, that is making things difficult for the fucking imperial court! Ri Bai lied, criticize you Fuck you, starve to death!"

"Almost!" A person who seemed to be the leader stopped loudly, and said in a rough voice, "These guys will be sent to Jilin City tomorrow, maybe they will survive or not! You are almost out of anger, Keep your spirits up, and go tell the leader here to get some food first. We will stay for one night, and we will go to the city to do business tomorrow, and we can still take a stroll in the city when we are done."

Oolong returned to the kang, touched the darkness, put on his boots, put on his coat and hat, and then opened the door, only to see a group of black figures squatting on the ground dejectedly, holding their hands high, a dozen steps away from the door. Both hands, but from time to time someone lowered their hands to scratch their buttocks.Oolong suppressed a smile in his heart, and said that the Qing army and the Beihai Navy hadn't learned anything else, but they had learned a lot about raising their hands and surrendering.

He saw a postman passing by with a bucket of water, he stopped him, pointed to the black shadow and asked in Manchu, "What's going on?"

"Hui ye's words!" The postman immediately put down the bucket after hearing this, he must have been busy for a long time, and he just happened to take a break. "These people are medicine dealers and fur dealers from Shanxi. They all came here for the ginseng and mink in the hands of the Beihai Navy. After being caught, they should be punished on the spot in the military camp. Marshal Fu is merciful, and he must first be escorted to the camp for trial and decision, and then all of them will have a hundred sticks and flow three thousand miles."

After hearing the "um", Wulong walked towards the squatting person, pretending to be surprised.But because the sky was too dark, under the flickering light and shadows, only a rough outline could be seen. There were ten people in total, tied around their waists with ropes, and only one was older, who looked to be in his fifties, and the rest were all He looks like he is in his 30s, and he is obscene and wretched.

Some of them could understand Manchu, just now they heard what Yi Ding said to Wu Long, and now they started to cry, saying that they were not spies.The people next to him persuaded him in a low voice, saying that it was useless, and that he had annoyed the Shaanxi soldiers, who might have to be beaten again.

At this time, the leader of the Shaanxi army escorting the prisoners came out of the kitchen, saw someone approaching the prisoners, and walked over with a lantern.Under the shadow of the lamp, seeing him wearing a plain gold cap and wearing seven-rank clothes, he was clearly a general manager. He was so flustered that he beat him down, and said with a smile: "So it is the general manager, you are auspicious! The little man Ma Sixi."

Wulong rolled his eyes, and an idea popped up, pointing at the group of people on the ground, he asked in jerky official language, "What do they all do?"

"Master! Your old official words are really good! These are all spies, doing business with the North Sea pirates. The villain is from the Ehemao checkpoint, and they will be sent to the city to be detained tomorrow."

"Business?" Oolong pretended to be confused and said, "I, Horqin left wing, what business does the traitor have to do?"

"Ouch! Master," Ma Sixi hurriedly got up and leaned over and said in a low voice, "There are so many good things from the Northern Sea Pirates! Not to mention the good things that ordinary people don't see, such as ginseng, mink fur, and glass bottles of shochu. There are many kinds of cigarettes, which are better than the tobacco leaves sold in the tobacco shop in Jilin City. You always go to Jilin City, right?"

Wu Long nodded and said: "Report to the imperial envoy's tent, and after seeing the commander in chief, assign me an errand."

When Ma Sixi heard this, he was all smiles: "That's it, hehe, the boss is really extraordinary, and he can still meet the commander. Maybe he will see the commander. A Xiaoqi school can't escape."

Wulong laughed, stretched his hand into his bosom, took out a piece of broken silver weighing two renminbi, threw it into Ma Sixi's hand and said, "You speak so nicely! I appreciate it."

Ma Sixi was overjoyed, his eyes were rolling around in the darkness, and he asked flatteringly, "Master, have you ever been to Jilin City?"

Oolong shook his head, and the corporal leader said: "Master, go to the big tent to report, and the assigned errands will not come for ten days, why don't you let the little one take you around Jilin City? There are delicious and interesting places on Henan Street There are many!"

"Okay!" Oolong patted the opponent's shoulder. Ma Sixi saw that the opponent was not as tall as himself, so he bent down quickly to let the opponent reach him.

"I'm fine, I'll escort these people into the city with you tomorrow."

Ma Sixi was thinking about this in his heart, for fear that this big-spending general manager would never be found again after entering the city.If you don't take advantage of this moment to please and earn money for the couple, don't even think about it when they see Marshal Fu and divide up the errands.

Oolong and Ma Sixi plotted against each other, while Fukang'an, who was in Ula City, Jilin, convened a military meeting in the flower hall next to the signing room of the General's Office.

A huge sand table wooden map was placed in the middle of the flower hall, and Fukangan and four or five generals were pointing in the direction of Khalkha Mongolia above.

"Let's talk about it, when do you think Zhao Ni will make a move?"

"Marshal, I thought it would be possible after six months."

The person who spoke was Hui Lun, the second-class public and the commander of the Xianglan Banner Guards.This one also belonged to the Fucha family, his second-class Duke was Xi's uncle Mingrui's title, and his biological father was Mingrui's younger brother, First-Class Duke Kuilin.In terms of seniority, Ming Rui is Fu Heng's nephew, and Hui Lun has to call Fu Kang'an uncle.

"What's the reason?"

"I heard from the Mongols from Khalkha that in May and June, the Orkun River (Selenge River) had spring floods, and the waters of its tributaries, such as the Yixun River, the Hara River, and the Tongkla River, soared. Then Zhao Ni's troops would count With three heads and six arms, you can't fight against God, can you?"

"Well, it's a reason. However, Zhao Ni's weird instruments are emerging one after another, and the river water may not be able to stop him." Fu Kang'an pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked: "What's the situation at Namu Nest?"

The Namu Woji he mentioned is Laoye Ridge. At present, the Northern Navy and the Qing Army use this place as the dividing line, each occupying both sides of the hill.

Whalen said: "There is no movement, and there is no abnormality in the Rafa River."

Fukang'an stared at the wooden figure for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and ordered: "Command Na Qitai to send 1000 people across the Kahali River from Xunzhen Town to test the reality of Hunchun. "

"Whoo!"

At this time, An Lu, the first-class guard, the first-class bodyguard, and the deputy commander of the North Route Army, said: "Marshal, are you planning to come together with civil and military personnel? Why don't you let Biaoxia lead a team and go around the Namuluga River in the north?" , give them a hard hit!"

Speaking of which, this guy had a sworn feud with Bei Haijun. His father's name was Doral Hailancha, and after his death he pursued the posthumous posthumous title of first-class super-valiant marquis.Hailancha has been fighting abroad for many years. With only a son like An Lu, An Lu's fate in another time and space is also unlucky.In the fourth year of Jiaqing, during the crusade against the Bailian sect bandits, he went deep into the dense forest alone, and was finally killed by several sect bandits with spears.

Fukang'an shook his head and smiled wryly when he heard the words: "If you do this, the fake beating will become a real beating. The emperor didn't mean that."

This morning, Qianlong’s six-hundred-mile urgent decree arrived in Jilin City. Only then did Fukang’an know that the Beihai Navy was going to send troops to Khalkha Mongolia. Qianlong ordered him to start negotiations with the Beihai Navy immediately. No matter what means, they must prevent the other party from sending troops. .

The military discussion has been going on since the afternoon until now, except for half an hour of rest during dinner, everyone has been talking about ideas and deducing them on the wooden map.At this time, everyone's spirits were a little tired. Seeing this, Fu Kang'an knew that it would not be a problem to endure any longer, so he let everyone disperse, and only An Lu was left behind.

A group of Goshhas also came in at this time, opened the windows to let out the smoke in the house, and placed stools to clean up the leftover tea.The captain of Fukang'an's personal army called people to the big room to pass the message, "Bew a bowl of white fungus soup for the commander in chief, and make some strong tea..."

Fukangan patted An Lu on the shoulder with a smile, and said in a calm tone: "I know you want to avenge your Ama,"

"Marshal," An Lu felt sore, almost crying.

Fukang'an interrupted: "Listen to me, you Ama and I are brothers and sisters. He is still my half teacher. It has been five years. Every time I think of the scene of his death in battle, I feel like a knife is piercing my heart. But you have to know, Then Zhao Xin is really not easy to get along with, if you treat him as an ordinary rebel, you will definitely suffer a big loss."

An Lu said unwillingly: "Then we can't beg them humbly, right?! There are 1 to [-] troops guarding here, and there are only [-] people on the opposite side. I am not reconciled to the humble job!"

Tremella soup was served while talking, and the captain of the guards also brought a bowl to An Lu, and took a step back to report to Fu Kang'an: "Master, the deputy governor of Jilin and the deputy governor of Hulunbu Yuer are here, and they are signing for the room. Waiting there."

Fukang'an waved his hand to let him back down. He didn't feel like eating tremella soup, and murmured: "We are slaves, so we have to share the master's worries. Don't worry, let me think about it again."
