The meeting hall inside the walled city was rough and crude, and could only serve as a shield against wind and rain.
Gui Gudar was sitting on the main seat, explaining to his tribe the situation of inviting reinforcements.
After talking for a long time, he looked at Albasi, who was second only to him in status, and said: "The situation is like this. We are originally the people of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court will set up counties in the Heilongjiang Basin, and we will all fall under its jurisdiction."
No matter who it is, they actually don’t want to be controlled by others. Therefore, these leaders who attended the meeting must have been a little unhappy when they heard that they would be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Although they did not object, it could be seen on their faces.
When Gui Gudal saw it, he solemnly said: "We have no choice! As Ming people, the imperial officers and soldiers will protect us, and we no longer have to worry about those devils! As Ming people, if we encounter disasters, the court will provide disaster relief. No need to worry about not being able to survive the winter! Becoming a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, our children can study and become literate for free, changing their destiny! Becoming a citizen of the Ming Dynasty..."
Of course he knew these tribesmen, so he told them one by one what he learned about Shenyang and the good things promised by the governor of Liaodong.
But before he finished speaking, he heard someone interrupt him loudly and shouted angrily: "You don't need to say so much, just one thing. If it weren't for the imperial officers and soldiers this time, how many of us would be alive? Do you have any conscience? Yes, you are so preoccupied with your own interests, haven’t you ever thought about other tribesmen?”
Gui Gudal didn't even need to turn around to look, he knew that his wife was angry.
Sure enough, when he turned around to look, he saw his wife pointing at the leaders attending the meeting and shouting angrily.
"Dawani, if you have something to say, let's talk it over. No one has said that they don't want to!" Gui Gudal shouted loudly to stop his wife from continuing to lose her temper.
Dawani glanced at him, ignored him, continued to turn around, and suddenly sneered: "With your little ability, you can't even deal with a devil, but the imperial officers and soldiers kill devils like chopping vegetables! Now the imperial court If I give you face, you can kick your nose in the face? Who are you showing your face to? If the imperial officers and soldiers don’t give you face, they can crush you to death casually. I really don’t know how much weight I have, right?"
Hearing what she said, everyone in the crowd lost their composure. Albasi quickly squeezed out a smile and explained: "Dawani, you are overthinking. Our silence means that we have acquiesced. We must have agreed to join the imperial court! This is what we discussed with your father before, so that's why Gui Gudal went to ask for help!"
After hearing this, other people smiled and agreed.
"Yes, yes, that's it!"
"There are so many benefits to joining the imperial court. Only those who are obsessed with it will not join!"
"..."
As for whether they really thought so before, only they themselves know.
Seeing this, Gui Gudar couldn't help but admire his wife's fierceness, but before he could be happy, he heard Dawani turn to look at him and say loudly: "I see there are female soldiers in the imperial army, I want to Join us and take revenge on the devil!"
"..." When Gui Gudal heard this, he was dumbfounded. After he came to his senses, he quickly asked, "What about our children?"
Dawani heard this and said without hesitation: "Bring it all to your parents, I want to avenge my father!"
Guigudar was dumbfounded for a while, and then tried to persuade: "The imperial officers and soldiers will not accept you."
Dawani listened, ignored it at all, and strode out of the meeting hall, leaving a group of elders behind, looking at each other.
After being interfered with by Dawani, the topic of the discussion changed and the first step was skipped. Guigudal began to discuss how to join the imperial court and cooperate with the imperial army to eradicate the devil's nest.
The people attending the meeting were all leaders, at least with status. In other words, they were actually Sauron people with relatively quick minds.
The meeting hosted by Gui Gudal is related to their future. Naturally, if you can bargain, you can bargain to reach the final result. This discussion took a long time.
Unknowingly, time passed slowly, and suddenly, I don’t know when, I saw a person breaking into the meeting hall.
When Guigudal saw that he was wearing the uniform of the imperial court officials and soldiers, he quickly smiled. When he was about to speak, he was dumbfounded again.
"What, you don't know me anymore?" When the man saw his expression, he said with a smile.
Others were also dumbfounded. It wasn’t that they didn’t know him, but they were so surprised!
Guigudal came back to his senses and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Dawani, you... you... this is..."
Yes, the person who came in wearing military uniform was Dawani. She said happily: "Can't you see? I am already one of the imperial officers and soldiers!"
Having said this, she paused and then stretched out her finger and said: "They also said that my military pay is this amount, which is the same as the military pay of a first-class female soldier. When I perform meritorious service in the future, I will be able to get second-class and third-class military pay! Also! Yes, after becoming a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, there are preferential exemptions and pensions, I have heard about them..."
As she said that, she was like offering a treasure, or more accurately, showing off, and explained all the preferential treatment conditions she knew.
Upon hearing her words, the elders in the meeting hall were immediately dumbfounded. They never expected that joining the imperial army would have so many benefits.
So, one of the leaders sitting by the door immediately put a smile on his face and asked: "Sister Dawani, then I also want to join the imperial army. The military salary must be higher than yours, right?"
When Dawani heard this, she immediately snorted and said: "No way! I am a special case, so I can join the imperial army directly, but everyone else must perform well or perform meritorious service before they can join the imperial army!"
After finishing speaking, she looked at Gui Gudal and said: "Don't worry, General Liu said that after the devil's nest is removed, the imperial army will be stationed here. I will stay here and will not transfer to others." Local!"
After saying that, she turned around and walked out with her head held high.
On the other side of the door, the voices of warblers and swallows and the voices of children immediately rang out.
The lives of the Sauron people are very primitive. It can be said that even for the leader, the conditions are not good. This is also the reason why Gui Gudal was shocked after going to Shenyang.
Now after hearing about Dawani's military salary and the preferential treatment conditions mentioned for the soldiers, even these leaders were naturally moved.
Gui Gudal's feeling was very obvious. The subsequent discussions went very smoothly. There was no fussing over anything before, even on many difficult matters, such as who would send how many people to follow the imperial army to conquer the devil, and who would send how much food. To ensure the early supply of supplies for the imperial court and the army, the transportation of supplies to the rear, etc., everyone rushed to do it.
Of course Gui Gudal knew why this was, and he was very happy to see this scene happen. So, in the evening, he reported the results to the imperial officials and troops.
Two days later, a total of 150 young or experienced old men from Sauron, including Gui Gudal and his wife, went north with the imperial army. The rest of the Sauron people began to expand Yakesa City, because this will become the seat of the county government of Heilongjiang County.
As for the imperial army led by Liu Wenxiu, they left fifty cavalry and one hundred infantry here to guard against possible Tsarist Russian colonists emerging from somewhere.
Because of the previous interrogation and counting of the Tsarist Russian colonists, there were more than twenty missing, including the leaders Rovinsky and Khabarov.
………………
After Rovinsky wounded Lavkay who was chasing him, he fled into the woods. Not daring to stay, he headed north with the intention of escaping back to Yakutsk.
When they came, they crossed the Outer Xing'an Mountains along the Lena, Oryokma and Tungil rivers. Relatively speaking, it was relatively quick, taking only two weeks.
But the return journey was not simple. He had to escape for his life and had no luggage at all, which made Rovinsky suffer.
After less than a week of walking, he became a complete savage.
In the Daxingan Mountains, the huge trees reaching the sky blocked most of the view. Rovinsky rested against a tree.
At this time, he regretted very much. Why did he encounter such an elite Eastern army?
I don’t know who it is who keeps emphasizing the wealth of the Far East, why don’t they talk about how powerful the Far East empire is!
If we had known that the Ming army would be so powerful, we would not have dared to lead such a small number of people to the south to make a fortune even if we were killed!
Now, the whole army has been wiped out. After returning, I don’t know if the Governor will punish him!
I guess so! Rovinsky came to this conclusion and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Unlike Khabarov, who raised his own money to raise his team to go south, his team was an official one. He lost more than a hundred at once, and the Governor must also give an explanation to Moscow.
Your Majesty the Governor will definitely not bear the blame for the loss of troops and generals. Everyone else is dead, so only he will bear the blame!
Thinking of this, Rovinsky didn't know what to do. He was panicked and a little desperate. He was still as arrogant as when he went south half a minute ago.
It's not that he hasn't thought about escaping back to Eastern Europe, but it's harder for a person to escape back to Eastern Europe without any supplies than to climb to heaven!
what to do?
Rovinsky was a little confused. Suddenly, after many years of military service, he may have a strong sixth sense. Suddenly he felt something and immediately became alert. He quickly tightened the blunderbuss in his hand, which was a flintlock pistol, and nervously Observe your surroundings.
However, when I looked around, I found nothing.
But, for some reason, the more this happened, the more nervous he became.
"It's okay, I'm just nervous and too nervous!" Rovinsky could only comfort himself, "You've escaped so far, there's no way any pursuers can catch you here!"
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, his face changed drastically and he suddenly stopped there.
