Beiyang new warlord

"You can't use it if you look it up! Dongjiang military law, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and deeds must be defeated! Su Mu defended the plains, killed the enemy bravely, and defended the soil with merit! Come here, and immediately pick the head, record meritorious service for Su Muwei, and send it to the army. silver!"

"I am also very interested in these northern pirates. Mao Sui, you go to Chunming Building to book a table. After recording the merits, I will personally hold a celebration banquet for the soldiers of Su Muwei!"

There is money to take, and the general treats guests in person. Sumu Yeertai almost fainted from excitement, and kept kowtowing his head to thank him, wishing to smash his head.

"Thank you, General! Thank you, General!"

Mao Jue said that there are a total of 190 heads, nearly 6000 taels of silver, and the governor's mansion bank directly raised them, and the heads were pulled to Tieshangang Wankudiao, becoming a new member of the Dongjiang trophy. This is the recent heavy snowfall , actually buried all the skeletons and mountain temples. The more than 100 refugee teams who were transferred to sweep the snow looked at the exposed white skulls, and they were almost paralyzed by fright. Hundreds, the entire refugee community trembled with fear, and some people spread rumors that Mao Jue was the reincarnation of the Great Demon King, who only ate living people. port to go.

In the next few days, the entire Dongjiang felt that these refugees were working a lot more quickly, and everyone they saw was called Lord, which made people baffled.

And the banquet in Chunming Building was also held on time after the money was collected.

To tell the truth, even if they took refuge in Mao Jue, Jurchen Sanbu Dingtian would still be full, and they were still far away from a well-off life. This table has elbows in thick oil and red sauce, stewed fish, and delicacies from mountains and seas. The savages and Jurchens all went straight out. They wanted to pretend to be civilized people, but they couldn't help it. They grabbed a big piece of meat and a big bowl of wine and poured it down their stomachs.

To be honest, Mao Jue has experienced wars of hundreds of thousands of scales. These more than a hundred beheadings, the alliance of several villages in the sky, and thousands of scale wars really felt a little drizzle to him, which made Mao Jue Those who are interested are still these northern pirates, as well as the unknown Northern Great Cry Continent.

"Su Mu's defense is so brave, and he repelled these pirates with his own strength. I will admire you, please!"

Mao Jue toasted himself, picked up the glass and took a sip, but it also made Sumu Yeertai very proud. Without drinking, his head was a little dizzy, and he raised his bearded chin, and Gululu let out a sigh of relief. However, this old boy seems to have learned a little bit of Central Plains culture, and he didn't dare to take credit for it, but humbly put down his wine bowl and clasped his fists.

"Where do you dare to say you are brave? The real brave is those barbarian pirates. In the past when they invaded, I had to join forces with the Koryo cowards in Jingzhou to resist. This year, thanks to the general, I have it in my hands." Iron guy, you overthrew those savages in one breath!"

When he said this, Mao Jue suddenly realized that it was equipment crushing! Although he was still wary of the Jurchen Tripartite, after all, they were incorporated into his subordinates. They often hunted, with steel arrows, steel knives, steel spears, and The old second-line cotton armor is still distributed. What did the savage Jurchens use before?Arrowheads made of stone and bones, and an iron ax are all small chieftains and nobles, and there are countless people with big sticks and forks.

It seems that the technology tree of this true pirate is not much more than that of Xianjing Taoist Jurchen. The stone arrow, stone ax and cold-forged steel wool armor are singled out. Naturally, Su Mubu wins.

Fortunately, these were not Mao Jue's biggest concerns.

While pouring wine again, he asked hastily.

"Have you ever caught any prisoners this time? Where did these barbarian pirates come from?"

"Master General, I had so much fun killing this time, so I didn't keep any prisoners, but they were captured in previous years. I heard from the old man in the ministry that they came from a big island in the far north!"

The beard was still stained with wine, and Ye Ertai spoke sexually, but the speaker had no intention, but the listener was interested, Mao Jue's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his forehead violently.

"That's right! Why did you forget this place!"

Chapter 3. Uncultivated virgin land

It is because the territory of the Ming Dynasty is much smaller than that of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the Northeast is not small. Since the veteran Feng Sheng and Fu Youde Lanyu came out of the Northeast, and defeated the Northern Yuan Taiwei Naha, the Ming Dynasty has been in the whole country. The dominance of the Northeast has been established, and the northern border has been extended to the Outer Xing'an Mountains.Not only the three northeastern provinces of the later generations, but also a large part of them that were ceded by the Soviet Union, and even almost reached the Arctic Circle, are all under the jurisdiction of the Nuer Gandu Division. In the huge barren land, many of them pay tribute every year and come to court every year.

At that time, the ancestors of the Jurchen in Jianzhou were still called the Huli Gaibu, and they also lived on the other side of Heilongjiang. Among the many vassals of the Ming Dynasty, they were too inconspicuous.

Nuergandusi also contains a large island, Bitter Leaf! It is also called Sakhalin Island in later generations, and Russia calls it Sakhalin Island.

Those pirates are also from Sakhalin Island. They have hairy faces. They belong to the same family as the Ainu people in Hokkaido, Japan. Ewenki, Nivkh and other Jurchen minorities.

This place is indeed called a place of bitter cold. There can be half a year of cold winter in a year, but even if it is only half a year, it is enough to cultivate for one season. When Mao Jue traveled to Heilongjiang in later generations, he also heard about the fishery here. Forests and gold mines, the rich purple gold in Vladivostok is said to come from here, and more importantly, it provided Mao Jue with a new and expanded living space.

Jilin, Heilongjiang is still afraid to open up, so take the big island of Kuye first, which can be regarded as a bridgehead for future advances, and more importantly, there will be room to accommodate the more than 7 refugees in the customs, and solve the urgent need. These more than 100 For Mao Jue, the head solved a huge problem.

It seemed that he was destined not to be lucky enough to celebrate the New Year at home, so he sent Sumu Yeertai back to Hamgyong Road first, and then Mao Jue began to pack his luggage at home and prepare for his journey north.

Although this time was easier than the Japanese war, the place to go was even colder. Su Yi and Yu Leer, who had been out for a year, were confined at home, but they have been "unwell" since returning to Dongjiang Adelena was put on the accompanying list by Mao Jue.

After coming back for a few days and going out again, the old man stomped his feet angrily. Mao Jue set off, but Mao Wenlong didn't go out to see him off at all. He was in the back garden of the mansion, listening to the old man's music while the three women sent him to the door respectfully. .

"It is enough for the master to be safe all the way. Don't worry at home, I will take good care of the old man and my younger sisters!"

After parting for more than half a year, Chen Jiao is becoming more and more housewife style now, and she took two girls with red eye circles to see her off. She was dignified and steady, holding up the corners of her skirts and squatting heavily, pouring a blessing.

People's hearts are full of flesh, looking at this girl, Mao Jue felt slack in his heart, put aside all the past, at least after she got started, the Mao Mansion was well organized under her management, and the old man's family moved from Phi Island Afterwards, under her care, she couldn't make any sense. As a daughter-in-law, Chen Jiao really fulfilled her duty, and the Chen family indeed fulfilled their responsibility in aiding the Northeast River. First give this girl a blow.

Seeing her lowered head with her coiled hair, Mao Jue suddenly pressed her head next to Chen Jiao's ear, and spoke in a low and hasty voice.

"I heard that the north produces a lot of purple gold, this time I'll bring you back some and make a few golden hairpins, okay?"

For the first time, this tone was a husband's taste for his wife, but Chen Jiao was stunned like a lightning strike when she heard it. Seeing her dumbfounded appearance, a smile couldn't help hanging from the corner of Mao Jue's mouth.

"That `s a deal!"

He neatly took the reins from Ying Ji's hand, got on the horse, and faced the relatives of the Mao family who came out to see him off, Mao Jue waved his hand violently with a smile.

"I'm leaving!"

The rapid sound of horse hooves rushed out, which woke Chen Jiao up. A blush appeared on the pretty and delicate face of the Jiangnan lady. She raised the corner of her skirt again, and squatted in the direction where Mao Jue left. road.

"Sir, safe journey!"

This time going north, Mao Jue didn’t take a single regiment with him. He only recruited the second-line guard troops from various guards and forts along the way. In the battle of Fusang, the more than 3 Dongjiang troops and the more than [-] Shandong soldiers have been exhausted for a year. Well, a degree of relaxation is the kingly way, and it is time for them to rest.

Besides, although this time is considered an expedition, it is not at the same level when facing the enemy. Even the old and weak Su Mubu with cold weapons can beat the strongest barbarian pirates and flee. The Dongjiang militia armed with muskets and bayonets should not be much different. All the way north, they recruited local militiamen. When they arrived at the coast of Lutun Island where the Dongjiang cavalry was trained, Mao Jue had almost assembled more than 2000 troops.

Here, Mao Jue would like to thank Mao Wenlong. Although the old guy doesn't care about things now, he seems to have really taken care of his life, but as long as he is here, Mao Jue can rest assured even if he hits the sky. No matter Kong Youde, Shen Shikui or Wen Meng, it is him Mao Wenlong's prestige in Dongjiang cannot be replaced by anyone. Although he does not doubt the loyalty of his subordinates, if anything happens, Mao Wenlong is Mao Jue's strong backing, and he can hold the scene at any time .

Arrived at the northernmost end of Hamgyong Road in mid-November, but the travel distance was still delayed until the eighth day of December. There was no way, Mao Jue invested most of his manpower and material resources in the South Bank of Lee's North Korea, the largest unongjin shipyard It is also there that although the shipyard on Lutun Island has been opened to the public, the manpower is only over 1000, and the wood has only just begun to stockpile. Now it can only build some small fishing boats, and the large ocean-going ships still have to be dispatched from Tieshan Port.

Although this time is not too far away, Mao Jue has a lot of things to bring.

The cement-paved Dongjiang Avenue was almost full of horse-drawn carts, and the Japanese rice that had just landed in Tieshan was immediately pulled to the north coast, followed by corn sticks, full-bodied corn sticks, potato cubes, and big bags. Sweet potatoes, some cars are full of fat pigs. In the cold weather, the noses of the pigs protrude from the car railings, spewing out clouds of hot air, and some can hear the cooing of chickens from far away. Daguda sound.

This is what Mao Jue and those Western colonists learned. In the beginning, there were no horses, pigs, goats, chickens and ducks in the American continent. Later, the North American Indian tribe, which had never had cavalry before, suddenly developed into a nomadic tribe because of the growth of the horse herd. This time Mao Jue went north, but he wanted to take root.

In addition to these livestock seeds, there are also a lot of industrial products. This time, they are not going to war. The huge fleet composed of four first-class battleships, thirty second-class battleships, and fifty transport ships and fishing boats has only one-third of the original gunpowder base. One, even a half of the cannon was unloaded, and the remaining space was filled with Dongjiang's industrial products, sacks of cement, steel bars refined from the Tieshan Mine, various tools, and axes. The chisel spinning wheel, and the largest number, is the coal block that can be called the black gold of industry. The coal block by car, compared with the Western colonists who opened up the North American continent, Mao Jue has eighteen martial arts. It is estimated that Magellan, Columbus Seeing his fleet, his eyes were red and bleeding.

Along with them are the refugees from the Guan who fled to Tieshan this winter. There are a total of 2 people. For these people in the Guan, the Dongjiang River is already considered the horizon, and this time they will be taken to the farther north. , Everyone's face is full of fear of the unknown.

Fortunately, these people had just been beaten a while ago, and they were specifically eliminated by Mao Jue. He negotiated with Song Xiance about the dozen or so refugee leaders and their confidants, Song Datou, who was vengeful. I went, without a leader, and on the other hand, I was guarded by thousands of arrogant Dongjiang military masters holding bayonets and flintlock guns. The refugees in their early [-]s carried their luggage in an orderly manner and boarded the Dongjiang River in rows. fleet.

Sumu Yeertai really didn't lie. On the shore, the traces of their last battle with the barbarian pirates were still on the beach, and three of the barbarian pirate warships ran aground here. It is really similar to the Vikings seen in the movie. Pirates are somewhat similar. This kind of ship is also a long ship built of planks, 20 to 50 meters, with one to two masts. A ship can seat about [-] people, but compared with the Vikings, this is a real pirate. Mao Jue dug out an arrow from the sand at the far end of Su Mu's position.

Bluestone's arrowhead has been broken in half.

If this was left in later generations, it would probably be locked up in a museum and treasured layer by layer. Looking at the traces of polishing on it, Mao Jue was also fascinated by it.

But at this time, a reminder sounded behind him.

"General, it's almost time for the villagers to board, Su Changmei and Lord Su ordered the officials to come and invite the general to board the boat."

It was Luo Zhige who was talking. After all, Sakhalin Island Town will be left alone in the future, and the sea route will take at least seven or eight days. There must be a trustworthy man guarding there. He was promoted by Mao Jue from the village. He has also been in charge of Baima Town for several years. This time Mao Jue entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. In the future, he will build two regiments in Sakhalin Island, both of which will be under his leadership.

Subconsciously looking to the north, a large area of ​​sail shadows calmly stopped broadcasting on the edge of the trestle bridge built with cement into the water. Among them, Mao Jue was inseparable, and the Black Pearl, which was completely blackened with tung oil, was in the forefront. In front of the bow of the Pearl's brass Mazu statue, a beautiful figure is wrapped in a red skirt, looking at the sea in ecstasy, is it Adelaine or who?

The task this time was not limited to establishing a new colony! He casually threw the bluestone arrow behind him, slapped his hands, and Mao Jue stretched his waist easily.
