Fishing in the sea.
"We need to build a city here!"
Yang Feng looked at the grassland still covered in ice and snow.
Although it's almost February, it's still 20 degrees below zero here.
In the wasteland behind him, huge camel cities have been surrounded. Within the defense line composed of Bactrian camels connected end to end, the Ming army cavalry who marched all the way from Kaiping quickly set up tents, but there was no
How many bonfires…
"Your Majesty, there is no cow dung nearby. I'm afraid no one has been nomadic here for many years."
Zhang Fu came over and said.
"I told you no one is here."
Yang Feng said.
This area must be visited by the Ming army every time they raid. How could there be anyone there? The most recent time was in the 25th year of Hongwu, which was the year he first came. But before he came, the Ming army had just targeted Antana.
The last Mongolian group headed by Ha Chu tried to attack the Donggui Group. But the funny thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang actually did it under the guise of revolting against the Bei Yuan Dynasty, because Yesu Dieer killed the great Khan of the Bei Yuan Dynasty, Tuo Gu Si Tie
Mu'er then sent Andanaha back to the east to summon the old Mongolian tribes that had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the regicide of Yesu Die'er to attack.
The Emperor Ming defeated the regicide rebel on behalf of the Emperor Yuan.
Of course, no matter what the reason is, I'll beat you up if you dare to come back.
From now on, no one dares to come back.
"How can we build the city if we don't have any people? What's more, it's useless to have fewer troops and it's difficult to supply more. Even if we transport it from Kaiping to the north, we have to travel nearly two thousand miles. What's more, it's so cold here in winter that we need to burn firewood for heating.
The only thing that can be burned on the grassland is cow dung, and there are no herdsmen here.
Even the cow dung doesn’t need to be burned.”
Zhu Di said.
"Why should we start from Kaiping, why not Huining?"
Yang Feng said.
He then took out the artist's hand-drawn version of the satellite map.
He had already prepared it.
As long as Zhu Yuanzhang garrisoned troops here, he could guarantee all supplies, and by ensuring all material supplies here, it meant that his sphere of influence had crossed the Greater Khingan Mountains. Although reclamation of wasteland was definitely not possible, but...
There is nothing to be disappointed with.
In fact, he just wanted to station troops in such an iconic place on the grassland.
It's purely personal preference.
"From Huining, we can travel upstream along the Nen River to Xing'anwei, then use land camel caravans to cross the Greater Khingan Mountains, and then take the Tao'er River, all the way to the upper reaches of the Halaha River. As for burning firewood, that's too easy.
Just cut the wood directly from the upper reaches and then release it along the Halaha River. Even the materials can be released. It just so happens that the boat doesn't have to go back. The materials are also delivered with firewood.
There is no need to garrison too many troops, just one Qianhu garrison is enough.
Fishing in the sea.
One in the mountains.
Send another one to Xing'an Guard."
Yang Feng said.
Xing'an Guard is the Jisu Guard affiliated to Huining.
Huining's Jisi Guards have reached as far as Lingbei.
Anyway, it's just those small tribes who come to contribute some local products and then go back with a title.
As for water transport on the Nenjiang River, it can be done anywhere. In fact, it can be done anywhere below Nenjiang County. During the Republic of China, inland river ships had stable ferry flights to Da'an, so you can just find a pier along the coast. In fact, you can also try to see if you can enter the Taoer River.
If a big ship can't get in, a small boat can't get in?
Then the rest is to head towards Aershan, in short, find a shipping starting point in the upper reaches of the Halaha River.
The rest is just drifting all the way.
Zhu Di was a little moved.
He is good at this.
"Your Majesty, do you know who will be the biggest border trouble in this area in the future?
Russian.
Do you know how they expanded to this area from nearly 20,000 miles away by land?
Just by the river.
Their armed reclamation regiments used water transportation to move forward among large rivers. They first found a tributary in the upper reaches, and then drifted down the tributary. They stopped to build castles at suitable places along the way. Now we call it Wala.
The Mongols would send troops to drive them away. If they couldn't hold on, they would retreat by water. When the Mongols moved to other places, they would come back to build castles.
As long as I didn't chase them away once.
They took root.
Then they would use this castle as a base to keep coming more people until they were ready, and then move forward overland to find the next tributary of the river system, and then build a boat to drift.
In this way, we crossed the river systems one by one, moving forward slowly but steadily.
Finally, all the way to Triton.
At that time, Maokouwei belonged to them.
We have to learn.
Don’t be afraid of difficulties, as long as you can actually control the land, difficulties are nothing.”
Yang Feng said.
“It’s such a bitter cold place and we can’t farm, so what are we doing here?”
Tan Yuan said.
"Remember, you don't have to worry about too much land. No matter what kind of land, as long as there is a possibility of occupying it, it must be occupied. Being unable to cultivate it does not mean that it has no value. Even if it is a desert, there are still minerals underground. The more land we occupy, the more land we occupy, the more land we occupy, the more land we occupy.
The thicker the family wealth left to future generations, they may discover its value at some point. What's more, even if you can't farm here, you can still graze, raise more cattle and sheep to sell, or even raise cows and milk them to make milk powder. If
The road to Xing'anling is opened, and cattle raised here can be sold to the Huining Reclamation Area.
The vast pasture here is enough to raise millions of cattle.
Millions of cattle.
There are really millions of cows. Is your emperor happy?"
Yang Feng said.
"Millions of cows, how is that possible?"
Tan Yuan looked at the ice and snow in front of him with obvious disbelief.
"At that time, the area around Hulun Lake in the north was called Hulunbuir City, which was similar to a prefecture. Each prefecture had more than one million beef cattle and nearly one million dairy cows, adding up to more than two million head, and there were even more other livestock. This is the total cattle population.
Quantity, that is, those that are still being raised, and those that are slaughtered and sold are not counted.
Your poverty limits your imagination."
Yang Feng said.
Of course, there is no need to tell them the difference between cattle and cattle breeds.
Ambassador Yang does not lie.
Just tell them selectively.
"Select a thousand cavalrymen and ask them to go upstream along the Halaha River. After entering the mountains, wait until spring to see if they can cut down the trees and release them. If they can be released here, they will leave the trees as evidence. Then they will go to Huining via the Xing'an Mountains and from Huining.
Returning to Peiping can be regarded as their meritorious service.
As for the others, rest here for ten days and then go to Helin."
Zhu Di said.
"Unload my big net, and I'll show you why this place is called Fishing Sea."
Yang Feng shouted to the soldiers behind him.
The soldiers quickly unloaded what he wanted from a camel.
Fishing in the sea...
That's what fishing is for.
