Fengxian Jiangshan

There were endless gunshots in the valley, and every sound meant that a Russian gold digger was shot dead. Outside the valley, hundreds of Chinese workers gathered. They all stood here with solemn expressions, and some of them were still dragging spirit cards in their hands, crying Can't stop rolling down.

There have always been conflicts between the Chinese workers and the Russians surrounding the gold mine. Just this year, more than [-] workers died tragically, and the most was [-] people. Facing the rampant Russians, The anger of the Chinese workers has accumulated to the extreme.

But now this gang of vicious Russians are all being slaughtered in the valley like lambs, leaving nothing behind. These usually honest workers have no sympathy, only resentment. These beasts should have died a long time ago up.

The crisp gunshots became more and more urgent, and there were faint and miserable screams, which were heart-piercing. These workers couldn't help but clenched their fists tightly. They never thought that the squadron would have such a With courage, they can make decisions for them, and they will not worry about Russian revenge at all.

This simply overturned all their previous impressions, as if the sky had changed in an instant, everyone's hearts were under unprecedented shock, and the gunfire gradually stopped. From the valley, more than 200 Fengjun soldiers They came out one after another, and their bodies still smelled of blood and gunpowder smoke.

The soldiers came out silently, and the workers lined up into the valley. They had to sort out the Russian corpses and then burn them all.The workers who entered the valley could only see corpses all over the ground, densely packed, scattered all over the place, some had their heads beaten into rotten watermelons, some had huge blood holes in their chests, and their internal organs could be clearly seen.There were pools of blood on the ground, and the thick stench irritated everyone's nostrils.

Most of the workers saw this kind of scene for the first time in their lives, and many of them couldn't help retching, even if they didn't vomit, their faces were pale and they were at a loss.

The workers holding the spirit cards were different from the others. Some of these dead bodies were animals that killed their relatives. The blood and hatred made them forget their fear, and they kept searching for the corpses one after another to find the culprit.

Seeing the extremely arrogant murderer in the past.Turned into cold and hard corpses, they couldn't help crying bitterly, the resentment accumulated in their chests seemed to flow out with tears, and their loved ones in the sky must finally be able to rest their eyes at this moment.

After a long time, these workers recovered from the shock.They also put away their grief, and they silently piled up more than 100 Russian corpses in one place.Then sprinkle with kerosene.Then it was ignited, and the flames flew up. In a blink of an eye, the fire devoured all these dirty corpses, and they were burned together with another era. The Russians don't want to run wild on this land. Brand new opponent.

After going through this.The status of all the workers has changed greatly. They finally straightened their chests and finally had a sense of belonging to the government. The army no longer only knows how to deprive and deceive them.It will also provide them with protection and help them deal with the most vicious enemies.

Taking advantage of this good opportunity, Fengjun selected a hundred young and strong workers among the workers and asked them to form a militia guard team. Their task was to patrol and guard this place. It's still a Russian old man, as long as he dares to step into this land without permission, he will be punished.

Of course, the existing workers are far from enough. The Fengjun removed another 5000 people from the immigrants in the pass, and enriched them into the gold mine. Including the original manpower, the total number exceeded 6000. Among these people, A total of [-] militiamen were selected, all to receive military training and equipped with guns.

These militiamen are usually responsible for patrolling and combating theft. In times of war, they are also the first group of people to be mobilized. Not only the gold mines, but also the mines are also forming mine protection teams and providing weapons and equipment.

Zhang Tinglan also has his own calculations in implementing this strategy. Currently, he and Horvath are in a cooperative relationship, but after the new year, their cooperation will end, and the two sides will become enemies, or tit-for-tat enemies.

Since Tsar Peter, the Russians have been seeking to obtain an ice-free port. The Crimean War marked the failure of the Russians' efforts to obtain the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea. The Russians had to turn their attention to the east. The double-headed eagle stretched its claws to After entering Northeast China, they obtained Lushun Port, one of the best military ports in the Far East.

Immediately during the Russo-Japanese War, the Russians lost Nanman and Lushun Port, leaving only the Middle East Road, but the Russians never stopped their ambitions for the Northeast. In history, during the Yalta Conference, The bearded man still misses Lushun.

For Feng Jun, the Middle East is determined to win, and the Russians will not let go easily. The contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable, and there is bound to be a time when they turn their faces.Zhang Tinglan had already figured it out, relying on the strength of the garrison division, it would be difficult to fight against the Russian railway garrison, let alone eliminate them quickly.

Therefore, expanding the army and preparing for battle became an inevitable choice. However, at this time, Fengjun's financial resources are limited, and the attitude of Zhang Zuolin and the Beiyang government must also be considered. Jilin must not expand the army wantonly.

After much deliberation, we had to change a strategy and increase the armed forces in the name of militia, mine protection team, police, and armed police.

Zhang Tinglan has already made a plan. The workers must be armed, and the immigrants outside the customs must form a large number of militias and receive militarized training. Of course, Zhang Tinglan must find a better excuse for his actions. The banner he played is armed immigrants!

Bandits in Jilin are rampant. If the immigrants can gain a foothold, they must be armed so that they have a certain ability to protect themselves. Moreover, Zhang Tinglan also made a request to Zhang Zuolin, hoping to form a border police to patrol the Sino-Russian border.

These are also normal measures, and Zhang Zuolin has no objection. He just requires that the border police must be organized in a unified way, and that Fengtian and Heilongjiang must also be deployed in a unified manner, and they must also coordinate in a unified manner.

After obtaining Zhang Zuolin's permission, the entire operation to expand the force began, and the whole province of Jilin was busy.

"Humble words, I have no objection to the armed militia, but we don't have enough weapons, even single fighters are not fully equipped. You can't let these militiamen carry red-tasseled guns on the battlefield?"

"Father, don't worry, weapons will be available soon. I have already received information about the preparations. A severe famine has occurred in Russia this winter. A large number of people died of freezing and starvation. They urgently need a lot of food, but this year the three eastern provinces With a good harvest, we have a trump card."

"Do you want to exchange food for weapons?" Zhang Zuoxiang's eyes lit up. His son has always had an idea. If he can do this, it would be really good. Fengjun has already used a lot of Russian-made equipment, and it would be great if he could exchange a little more. wish for it.

"Father, I've thought about it. Not only do we need to replace the main equipment such as the water rifle and the large-caliber heavy artillery, but we also need to replace some obsolete old equipment to arm the militia. Take this year as an example, the Russians lost With millions of troops, the Austro-Hungarian Empire who fought against them also lost millions of people. Russia has a large number of Austro-Hungarian weapons. These things are basically a pile of scrap iron. The Russians are of no use. Buy off the officials in Russia and clear the links, and we will exchange weapons for food."

When Zhang Tinglan said this, he stood up excitedly and said, "In exchange for these things, we don't need to count the money one by one, but count the money according to the weight. One hundred catties of grain is exchanged for ten catties of rifles, or even twenty catties of rifles. I don't believe that those hungry and crazy Russians will refuse, and there will be no shortage of weapons they want by then!"

When Zhang Tinglan said this, he couldn't help but think of the time when the Soviet Union disintegrated in later generations. At that time, Russia was a leaky ship full of munitions. Someone also bought a large amount of munitions at the price of scrap iron. Now this scene has to be done a few days earlier. Played out for ten years.

Zhang Zuoxiang didn't expect to be able to get arms in this way. He was agitated by the situation Zhang Tinglan described. A hundred catties of ocean is only three or two oceans. A good rifle is ten times, or even dozens of times the huge profit.

The army of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not very good, it is completely useless, but the military industry of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not weak, especially the equipment such as rifles and cannons, the quality is comparable to that of the Germans, if they can get a lot of them For Feng Jun, weapons and equipment are definitely a huge improvement in combat effectiveness.

Even if the main force of the Feng army does not equip this thing in the future, it can be dumped to other warlords. A second-hand rifle can be sold for one or two hundred oceans in the northwest. After a little calculation, this is a piece of fat, and Still fat and oily.

After discussing this, the two of you both had smug smiles on their faces. Of course, if you want to do this crazy smuggling exchange, it is not safe to take the Middle East Road. The safest way is to wait for Heilongjiang to freeze completely, and then pass through the ice. trade.

Just when they were looking forward to it, the first batch of gold panning equipment had been shipped to Harbin. The three gold panning ships went to Heilongjiang, and the rest of the equipment went to the railway. , Seeing that the time of freezing is not far away.

After the arrival of the gold panning equipment, the Jiapigou Gold Mine finally became lively. The workers seized the time to familiarize themselves with the equipment as much as possible before it was completely frozen. After the spring of next year, they will work hard. These workers are now feeling better and starting to work. Very proactive, they seized the last time and already mined thousands of taels of gold.

After receiving the report, Zhang Tinglan was very satisfied, and then he also arrived in Fuyuan County, across Heilongjiang, opposite to Khabarovsk, and the long-planned ice trade route was finally about to officially start. (To be continued..)
