Chapter 694: It's not easy to go south and north!
When the Qing Emperor Ama sent the first Cossack Ao Bai of the Qing Dynasty to the north to fight Mao, more than 6,000 miles away, a group of Ming profiteers and landlords and rich peasants who went south to farm had just escaped death!
"Land! Land, land......"
The sound of cheers suddenly reached the ears of Yao Daqiao, who was already dying.
Before this, when he left Shanghai, he was still a big fat man in Hankou "Yao Banjie", who was already skinny and skinny, lying on the stinky deck, with a lot of anger and little breath, and was nagging Ye Jiaxin beside him to wait for his future.
"I really didn't expect that my Yao Daqiao would end up dying in a foreign land for half of his life! Lao Ye, you are better than me, you can still eat something on this broken ship, I guess you can survive until Jing Haijun, and there may be a time to return to Hankou alive in the future, but remember to bring a few words to my home......"
Speaking of which, Yao Daqiao, who was seasick and fainted to death, couldn't help but burst into tears - he was reluctant to die, he still had half a street in Hankou! There are still a few hundred taels of rent a year to eat, and there are more than 20 catties of jewelry in the jewelry box of one wife and three concubines in the family, all of which are gold, not silver...... With such a big family business, eating and drinking for a lifetime, and being accompanied by three little wives who are as beautiful as fox spirits, what's wrong? I have to be unwilling, I want to get rich, I want to get home.
Well, I'm going to die at sea!
Speaking of this road, it is really a lot of disasters and difficulties!
Yao Daqiao found the bow of the Hui gang turned out to be a half-hanger, not comparable to the gang of Fujianese at all, just after crossing the Taiwan Strait, there was a storm, blowing for a day and a night, blowing Yao Daqiao's bird boat away from the coastline, which is very dangerous!
Because most of the Chinese ships in these years do not use nautical instruments such as "rectangular instrument", "reverse altitude observer", and "quadrant" - this tool for positioning sea ships by observing the stars and the sun is more or less related to celestial phenomena!
In China, this observation of celestial phenomena is linked to conspiracy, and ordinary people are not allowed to study celestial phenomena except for Qin Tianjian.
Therefore, the technology of positioning ships with stars and the sun is difficult to develop, and it is easy to be lost - that is, the Zheng pirates who clearly have bad intentions have learned the ability to look at the stars and the sun from Westerners, so they can cross the South Seas and travel to and from Japan at will.
The bow of the ship in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty does not have this ability, and usually runs near the sea, and can only walk along the coastline. Once you're away from the coastline, it's easy to get lost.
Fortunately, there is still a compass on the sea ship driven by the Anhui people, and the Anhui people also know that the sun comes out of the east...... Therefore, the southeast and northwest can still be clearly distinguished.
So after the miscarriage, the ship (which was originally a three-ship trip, but two more boats were missing) sailed westward.
But after sailing for more than ten days, I didn't see any landing!
This is obviously not right!
Where can I go to Jinghai for so many days? Where the hell did that damn storm blow this boat?
Fortunately, the supplies and fresh water on the ship are enough to consume - the buffalo brought by Yao Daqiao is beef after it is slaughtered!
But for Yao Daqiao, no meat is fragrant. He was already seasick, and he was dizzy when he used to sell rice on the Yangtze River. I thought that I was used to river boats, and I could adapt to it when I went to sea. But as soon as you go out to sea, you know that it is powerful, the bumps on the Yangtze River are nothing at all, and the sea is powerful!
As a result, Boss Yao was miserable, he fainted after going to sea, vomited everything he ate, and couldn't eat anything for a month.
I'm dying now, and if I faint for a few more days, I'll be dead......
Just when Yao Daqiao was discouraged and began to explain the future, he suddenly heard someone shouting "land" or something!
Then I saw a guy hired by Yao Daqiao, who climbed down from the upper deck with a roll, and shouted: "Boss Yao, land, land, we have ...... saved"
Saved?
When Yao Daqiao heard this, he didn't know where he had his strength, and the person who was dying suddenly became energetic, supported the deck with his hands, and staggered up, "It's time for the Jing Navy?" Quick, quick, help me to see ......"
It is impossible to get to the quiet navy! It's all blown out of direction, how can it still arrive? But they were saved, and the land was ahead. Their boat sailed to the coast of Nakhon Thamat Province, which was under the jurisdiction of the Ayutthaya dynasty of Siam, an area where some Chinese had already settled, and the Chinese name was Nakhon Thammarat.
......
"Rakshasa ghost, rakshasa ghost...... The Rakshasa is here! ”
"Run, run, Ao Zhangjing, the Rakshasa ghost is powerful, you get on the horse quickly......"
"Hurry up, protect Ao Zhangjing!"
The first Baturu, the first Cossack, and the first warrior of the Qing Dynasty are now completely confused. Pavlovich. The 200 Cossack cavalry led by Khabarov were stunned, and they couldn't believe that what was happening in front of them was true.
His 600 men actually broke the Cossack 200 people...... And it collapsed in a face-to-face confrontation battle!
He came with 300 firearms and Bayala soldiers, as well as more than 300 horsemen led by Bardaqi, the chief of the Daur people on the banks of the Jingqili River, who was affiliated with the Zhengbai Banner, and patrolled along the frozen Heilongjiang and Jingqili rivers.
The area around the Jingqili River is the place where the Daur people live, and there are a large number of Daur walled cities. When the new official took office, of course, he had to take a turn and settle the hearts of the Daur tribe. By the way, I will order fur, ginseng, and Dongzhu or something.
These things are worth the old nose money when they are taken to the Lushun mutual market, which is enough to buy a lot of foreign guns made in London from "English friends"!
That's right, made in London! The foreign guns and cannons sold by Bruce to the Qing Dynasty have the Chinese words "Made in London, England" on them, so there is no doubt that they are British goods - this is the ironclad evidence of Britain's intervention in the Chinese civil war! It's impossible to deny it......
But when Ao Bai and the others arrived near the Saharcha Walled City on the banks of the Jingqili River, they suddenly received a report that there were about 200 cavalry of Rakshasa ghosts coming from the upper reaches of the Jingqili River.
What is there to be afraid of 200 Rakshasa soldiers?
Ao Bai had 600 cavalry on hand, and there were also 150 flintlock firearms (handguns) made in London, England, which were much more powerful than those of Rakshasa country.
So Ao Bai immediately decided to fight with the Rakshasa ghost.
So the troops were deployed on the ice of the Chingchili River, north of the city of Saharcha, with 300 Daur as dead soldiers, and 300 firecrackers as sharp soldiers, against 200 Cossack cavalry.
It was supposed to be a must-win battle, but it turned out to be a big surprise to Aobai.
Bardazi's 300 Daur cavalry tried to use mounted archery against 100 oncoming Cossack cavalry, but these 100 Cossack cavalry launched a pistol charge! Their horses were faster, and all of them were armoured, and they were not afraid of the Daur's cavalry, and a single charge crushed the Daurs—the Daurs suffered more than 50 casualties in one burst, and Bardaqi himself almost lost his life.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ao Bai had no choice but to order his firearms to charge and relieve the siege of the Daurs.
However, the 150 Bayala soldiers with the muskets rushed out, and the remaining 100 Cossack cavalry rushed at the Aobai group.
Ao Bai still has 150 Manchurian warriors on hand, so it's no problem to fight against 100 Cossacks, right?
So Ao Bai did not hesitate, and immediately led his 150 cavalry to charge 100 Cossack cavalry.
However, under the hedging of the two sides, Ao Bai found that his Manchurian warriors were not much stronger than the Daurs, and they were not the opponents of the Cossack cavalry at all - the Cossacks were mixed in the European battlefield no matter how they were, and they were next to the big Bobo who was the best at charging on horseback, so the ability to charge on horseback was more than one grade stronger than that of the Eight Banners!
Although the Eight Banners could also charge on horseback, they rarely had the opportunity to hedge with the enemy's cavalry, and their opponents Ming Army, Mongolia, and Korea did not dare to hedge with the cavalry of the Eight Banners, so the Eight Banners' ability in this regard could not be compared with the Cossacks at all.
Under the hedge, it is immediately a fiasco!
