Chapter 769
In May of the fifth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, just half a month after the death of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third generation general of the Edo shogunate in Japan, General Shengjing of the Qing Dynasty and Prince Dudo of Shuoyu finally ended their long journey and arrived in Heilongjiang.
Nurgan New City near the estuary.
Nuergan New City is located on the north bank of Heilongjiang, about 70 miles away from the estuary of Heilongjiang. It is a civil structure bastion built next to the beach on the north bank of Heilongjiang.
The fortress is triangular in shape. One side runs along the river beach of Heilongjiang River, and the other two sides are guarded by trenches two feet wide and one foot deep. There is a protruding prismatic solid fort on the three corners of the triangular fort, on which are placed the sacred
The 6-pound bronze cannon produced in the Roman Empire or Italy were all original cargo shipped from the Spanish galleons.
There are also ports and markets built on the edge of the Heilongjiang River to the south of the bastion. It is summer now, which is the best season of the year in the Heilongjiang estuary. The Sauron tribes around Nurgan City will sell their furs to East
Pearls, ginseng, and other mountain products that can be sold for two bucks are sent to the Nuergan market for sale. Businessmen from the Nine Banners and Xianglv Banners outside the Guanhai Pass will use the waterways of Songhua River, Nenjiang, and Heilongjiang to sell grains.
Salt and ironware were transported to Nurgan City to be exchanged for special products of the Sauron people.
There are also about a dozen 3,000 stone bird ships operated by Korean merchants who speak Shandong and Huizhou dialects. They have been running the Nurgan-Vladivostok-Busan route since the fourth year of Shunzhi.
These merchant ships often go north from Busan in the summer, transporting cloth and general merchandise to Nurgandusi, and then transport furs, dongzhu and various medicinal materials to Vladivostok. The furs, dongzhu and various medicinal materials are unloaded at the Vladivostok port, and then loaded on
More medicinal materials (ginseng, deer antlers, tiger bones, etc.) are shipped to Busan. It only takes one round trip a year, but the money earned is definitely several times more than traveling on the Beiyang route!
Because of these "Korean bird ships", the port and commercial market of Nurgan City prospered in a short period of time. It was originally regarded as a bitter cold place, but now it is driven by the Pacific fur and pearl trade.
, becoming increasingly prosperous.
"Haha, Murima, you did a good job! This place where birds don't poop has become wider!"
Standing on the wall of the Nurgan Triangular Castle, looking at the prosperous market and dock below, Dodo provoked his thumb to praise Mulima.
Mulima dared to take credit, "Your Majesty, you have really ruined the slaves. How could this be run by slaves? This is all because of the foresight of Emperor Ama and the prince, and the contact with the people of Zhisbania, which allowed the slaves to do this."
Ergan prospered."
"A meritorious service means a meritorious service," Duduo waved his hand, "What is there to be modest about? I have clear rewards and punishments for my actions, and I will definitely go to the memorial to ask for your merit.
Oboi! Your brother has done a good job, how is your Sauron cavalry training? You won’t let me down, will you?”
Since Obai was defeated by the Cossacks, he has been busy with two things. The first is to reorganize the defenses along the Heilongjiang River. In addition to Nuergan Fortress, he also built Khabarovsk Fortress, Aihun Fortress, Lahasusu Fortress,
Four major fortresses, including Hailanpao Fortress, also built a city in Acheng near the Songhua River as the fundamental place of Angbang Zhangjing in Heilongjiang.
The second thing is to organize and train the Sauron Vanguard Battalion. The so-called Sauron Vanguard Battalion is the new type of cavalry specially proposed to Dorgon by Obai before. It does not wear armor or mount and shoot, but is equipped with lances.
, matchlocks, sabers and good Ili horses, adopting the tactics of dismounting to shoot, mounting to charge and group charge.
At the beginning, the Sauron Vanguard Jia La only had 1,000 people. But later, the warriors of the Sauron tribe along the Heilongjiang River enthusiastically joined the army, and the Oara Mongols and the Rizbanians sent a sufficient number of Ili horses.
And matchlock guns. So Dorgon approved the plan proposed by Dodo and Obai to expand Sauron's vanguard Jia La, and expanded the establishment to 3,000 people.
Now the first batch of 1,000 Sauron cavalry recruited have completed their training and formed two Niulu groups. They all followed Obai to Nurgan City.
The reason why Duduo and Aobai came to Nurgan City was because they received a secret report from the Kingdom of Korea, saying that Japanese General Tokugawa was planning a large-scale invasion of Kuwu Island.
The Kingdom of Korea, which had been very concerned about Japan's movements since then, of course learned the news, so it immediately informed the General's Mansion in Shengjing.
When Duduo heard that the Japanese were coming to compete with the Qing Dynasty for furs, of course he couldn't agree, so he ordered Obai to immediately lead 1,000 Sauron cavalry to Nuergan City, and he himself left Shengjing to take up residence in Nuergan City.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Obai immediately patted his chest and assured, "My slave's 1,000 Sauron cavalry are all elites who have been trained over and over again. They can withstand 3,000 Japanese soldiers!"
He doesn't dare to talk big now. He doesn't dare to brag about one versus ten. It would be great if one versus three.
"What if the number of Japanese soldiers on Sakhalin exceeds 3,000?" Dodo asked.
"You're not afraid of that," said Obei, "my servant Sauron's soldiers are all from Orions and are used to the bitter cold. They can fight with the Japanese on Sakhalin Island."
Duduo nodded: "Then it will be hard on you."
"Slaves are not afraid of hardship. As long as they can serve the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Ama, and the Emperor, they are not afraid of death!"
Obai's words were beautiful, and Duduo nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! With your words, I feel relieved. I will sit here in Nurgan City. If there are too many Japanese soldiers on Sakhalin Island,
If it is difficult to win for the moment, you try to delay it until next year when all the Sauron cavalry are trained, and I will personally take them to Sakhalin Island!"
He paused, "In addition, I also brought half a small red Yi cannon Niulu, a total of 3 small red Yi cannons. You can take them to the island together."
"Cha!" Obai quickly accepted the order.
Duduo asked again: "Is there a boat to the island?"
Mulima took the question and replied: "If I return to the prince, the ships are ready, a Japanese sailboat and two Korean merchant ships."
"Is there anyone on the island to help you?"
"Yes, yes," Mulima said, "The Hezhe, Feyaka and Ainu people on the island have been paying us tributes of mink skins, and the chief of the Feyaka people is also related to the prince."
"Are you related?" Duduo said with a smile, "A relative who can't be hit with eight sticks, right?"
Mulima laughed and said, "Those are also relatives!"
"Okay!" Duduo nodded, "Then we can get some cloth and iron tools and send them over, so we can get close to each other."
The Aixinjueluo family has a lot of relatives in their hometown in the Northeast. Counting on their fingers, the three aunts and the eighth aunt, all the respectable ones can get some relatives. Even if they can't get close, they are still from the Northeast.
Counting two or three generations up, we might even be hunting together in the old forest!
This relationship does not exist between the Rakshasa Kingdom and Japan, so the people of Obai have a home field advantage when they go to Sakhalin Island!
"In April of the fourth year of Hongxing, the Japanese shogunate Tokugawa Iemitsu passed away. 5,000 Japanese soldiers were led by Masayuki Kusunoki and crossed the sea to Kuwu Island in three batches. This is a memorial transferred to the Generalissimo's Office? Why not the Ministry of Rites?"
Nanjing Forbidden City, Fengtian Hall, Dongnuan Pavilion.
Emperor Zhu is presiding over a routine collegial meeting between the two governments. As usual, there are 16 major events to be discussed today, and the first of them is the evil Japanese imperialists sending troops to Kuwu Island.
This matter should be reported by the Ministry of Rites! And it’s not a particularly important matter. The Ming Dynasty couldn’t send troops to Kuwu Island to fight against Japan, right?
"Your Majesty," Li Yan, the military advisor of the Generalissimo's Office, replied, "The Generalissimo's Office feels that this is an opportunity for us to regain the Ryukyu Kingdom. This Ryukyu Kingdom has always been a vassal of the Celestial Dynasty, but it was captured by the Satsuma Domain of Japan. Now it is nominally
We serve the Celestial Empire, but are secretly controlled by the Satsuma clan, which really undermines the majesty of the Celestial Empire.
