C1479 Unbelievable intelligence (2/2)
After the messenger left, Fajeev quickly opened the map and quickly made his decision. ”Guo Geli, Fu Mannuofu, listen up!”
”Yes!” ”General!” The two of them stood at attention and saluted.
”The two of you lead the twenty thousand cavalry regiment s you belong to and bring enough supplies to travel to the Songhua River Estuary day and night. When you are passing through Buldo, contact the Qing Empire's garrison troops on the other side and ask them to get out of Songhua River Estuary's way …”
”Twenty thousand cavalrymen are moving south along the Songhua River. Right now, the ice should still be able to move their horses. If there's really no other way, we'll walk on the riverbank and head south to Triple Family City …”
”When you reach there, you will be able to see the Qing Nation's relay road. Follow the relay road and go straight to the Ninggueta, then take a detour around the Suifen River and rush downstream … The entrance to Suifen River is right at Amur Bay, when that time comes, you should know how war is going to be fought! ”
Guo Geli and Fu Mannuofu excitedly gathered their troops, after an hour, the twenty thousand strong army brought all the dried meat and hay in the entire army, and each of them galloped towards the east quickly.
Fajeev looked at the remaining officers and laughed as he shook his head, ”Alright, we only have three days worth of food left. Why are you guys still watching? ”Hurry up and go steal it …”
”Third Division is in charge of the south … The Fourth Division is in charge of the North... The Fifth Division is responsible for extending westward. We are gathering at the mouth of the Ehun Black Dragon River! ”Quickly, quickly, if we act now, perhaps there are already many tribes running for their lives on the grassland. If we play with them, we probably won't even get a single lamb!”
The remaining thirty thousand soldiers scattered in all directions like hungry wolves. The north, south, and east had become hell on earth. All the tribes that did not manage to escape in time were looted.
The first and second division of the vanguard only used seven days to follow the Shiluka River into the Black Dragon River basin and advanced eastward towards the Songhua River Estuary. Meanwhile, Guo Geli's envoys left the formation at the other side of the river, crossing the river to find General Tempqin.
The person Guo Geli sent was China Tong, a businessman who had been operating in Heilongjiang for many years was extremely familiar with Qing Empire's bureaucracy. He knew that it was not enough just to rely on the imperial government's decree, but to deal with this kind of corrupt government officials, he had to pay the price.
Five thousand gold taels were placed heavily on the table, the golden light was enough to cause the value in T?pchin's heart to waver.
He also knew that the imperial government was leading a reckless life. To let go of the border guards and let the Russian enter the country to kill his own people was something that anyone with a bit of will would not accept.
However, this person's heart cannot endure the golden light at all, T?pchin said faintly, ”I let you in? Are they trying to harm our people? Do you know what the people call you? Russian! ”
That merchant said with a face full of smiles, ”Yes, my dear general, your noble character of loving people like children deserves our admiration! ”You can rest assured. This time, we are definitely going to use this as a pretext. We will definitely not do anything to harm the people of Great Qing …”
”To tell you the truth, what we want to fight is a group of traitors. They are also the enemies of the Great Qing! Has the general forgotten his status as the Manchu? ” With that, the merchant stroked the gold bar as if he was touching the skin of a beautiful lady.
Teppchin's throat was dry, and he could not help but say, ”Just by the way!”
”Don't worry General, I guarantee that it will just be a way out. We won't hurt a single chicken in the commoners' home …”
