The first snow has fallen in Shanghai south of the Yangtze River. Thousands of miles away in the Heilongjiang River Basin, it has already been covered in ice for thousands of miles, with knee-deep snow. Thousands of sledges and sleds are racing across the ice. These sledges and sleds pulled by horses, reindeer, or even dogs were loaded with food, cooking stoves, kitchen utensils, and tents. They were guarded by more riders and galloped southward along the river! Among the cavalry, a huge red and black military flag was tightly guarded by more than a dozen guards. Torn by the north wind, the military flag spread out flat. If you can read, you can see that above it The word Ming Dynasty is written clearly. A little later, several flags of different sizes were fluttering in the wind. Under the military flag, dozens of people were wearing thick furs and fur hats made of sea dragon skin. On the saddles hung double-barreled horse guns or short fire guns that were also wrapped in fur to protect against the cold. Behind them, the huge cavalry was like a torrent, leaving its own footprints on this ancient wasteland. Among the cavalry, those in fiery red military uniforms were the core force. Around this flame, the colorful team became even larger. Yes, this is the South Cantonese Army stationed in the Heilongjiang Basin marching south. The fiery red colors in the team are the soldiers and horses of the South Cantonese Army stationed at Yongning Temple and other places. Surrounding them were Sauron's troops. Among the team, closely guarded by hundreds of elites, was Bomubogor, the leader of the Heilongjiang tribe of Sauron and the left wing commander of Nurgandu Division. On his face, he could no longer see the look of misfortune and hatred that he had when Huang Taiji beat his subordinates to pieces. His face was filled with the look of wanting revenge today. ¡°He has confidence in thinking so. After more than two years of recuperation, army reorganization and military training, Heilongjiang ministries were trained in Yongning Temple and other places. They have completed the leap from an armed force composed of tribal men to a feudal army, and began to evolve into a modern army. Of course, all this was accomplished under the guidance of the two garrison brigades of the South Guangdong Army stationed in Heilongjiang, which were based at Yongning Temple and other places. In addition to sending instructors to help them train, improve the organizational system, and teach them military discipline, various materials were continuously transported from the sea and along Heilongjiang and other rivers, which also allowed Sauron's ministries to quickly recover from the defeat. Help. Otherwise, with their material reserves and supply capabilities, a tribe may never be able to recover after a single defeat. Therefore, when the Southern Guangdong Army stationed at Yongning Temple issued a mobilization order to the surrounding tribes in the name of Nurgan Dusi, Heilongjiang Governor, and Long Shengxing, ordering them to send troops south to copy the rear lines of the Nuer establishment, the tribes did not hesitate Recruit the young men of the clan and prepare to go south. Just when everyone was arranging their war horses, arranging their weapons and armor, and preparing fried rice and dried meat to set off, the second order was sent by the herald Pegasus. "There is no need for the troops and horses to carry grain and grass. They can just assemble at the designated place! During the Southern Expedition, all grain and grass supplies will be borne by the Duke of the State! In addition, all the harvests of each tribe will still be purchased according to the past practice! After receiving the order, each ministry will , must be conveyed to the neighboring tribes, and no one shall be detained! Once confirmed, those who violate the order will be the public enemies of Heilongjiang!" This order immediately ignited a prairie fire in the vast area of ????the Heilongjiang River Basin. Originally! Everyone was worried about how to survive the winter. Suddenly, the Duke of the country came with a benevolent decree. As long as he went to build slaves, he would be responsible for everyone's food, drink and grain. Moreover, the spoils of war and the heads obtained from killing the slaves were still handled according to the old rules. If you don't do this kind of good thing, you'd be a fool! Although the Sauron people of Heilongjiang live in the forest and snowy plains, they are as simple as gold and jade, but simplicity does not mean stupidity. It is still clear which side is better and which side is worse. As a result, not only the old, weak, women and children of the tribe who had received the mobilization order went into battle, but only a few people who were really inconvenient to move were left to guard the hunting grounds. Even those small tribes that had not received the mobilization order, were too small in size, and had never entered the eyes of the South Guangdong Army, also mobilized their entire clan, riding horses and driving sledges, and came to the assembly point in a mighty manner. The first thing to do when arriving at the assembly point is to distribute flags and form battalions. This is what the generals of the South Guangdong Army learned from the fact that Li Peilin led tens of thousands of Sauron troops to attack the Rakshasa people. The victorious division that had already captured the city was driven away by hundreds of Rakshasa people who made a desperate attack. Lessons come out. The organization of these Sauron tribe soldiers and horses is generally based on the organization of the South Guangdong Army. Every ten people have an armor, and there is an armor commander. For every fifty people in a team, there is a team officer. At the team officer level, there are five veterans of the South Guangdong Army to assist, including inspectors, instructors, military supplies, and so on. The purpose is to strengthen the management of grassroots teams. By organizing troops, larger tribes are better off, while small tribes will inevitably merge with other tribes, and gradually?In a day of eating, living, marching and hunting, the differences between different areas were eliminated and they slowly merged into one place. "Every battalion and team must strictly observe military discipline! If you disrespect orders again, flee first when encountering the enemy, or loot trophies, I will not punish you more! Your tribe will be removed from the trade list forever! Yours The hunting ground will be shared by neighboring troops, or rewarded to those who have made meritorious service in battles. " Guarding envoy Mai Yunmin's words were transmitted to everyone through the copper microphone, and these people who were originally grinning were looking forward to this. The men who hunted for food and drink, snatched heads and women, were covered in cold sweat in the winter. ??Permanently canceling trade and depriving hunting grounds will undoubtedly push the entire tribe into an abyss of eternal destruction. The Southern Guangdong Army has canceled your trade qualification, so no one will be brave enough to trade with you. Even if there is, they will have to be skinned by others, and you will have to use fur to buy an iron pot. The day when the iron pot is filled. The hunting grounds were deprived and rewards were given to surrounding tribes or tribes with meritorious service in battles, thus eliminating the source of livelihood. These two light words immediately frightened countless men from small tribes into submission. Even a big-headed man like Bomu Boguoer was frightened when he saw the officers and soldiers of South Guangdong standing motionless like pines and cypresses in the wilderness. He knew that since Huang Taiji died, he, a big-headed man from Heilongjiang, had completely lost his temper. He boarded the ship of the South Cantonese Army and wanted to make peace with Jiannu. That would be impossible unless the sun and moon appeared on the treetops at noon at the same time! The mighty troops and horses slowly moved southward along the directions of several rivers. Everyone has already known very well that the main force of the Jiannu in the south has already entered the pass, and all the servants of the important figures have also entered the pass to enjoy their blessings. Those who stayed in Liaodong were just the old, weak, sick and disabled who guarded their old nest. Every day he drank in the city, basked in the sun, cursed the streets, complained about his bad luck, could not follow his masters into the country to get promoted and make a fortune, and robbed the barbarians of their money, houses and women. The two garrison brigades of the South Guangdong Army each left one battalion at Yongning Temple. All the gunboats and two naval battalions of the newly formed Heilongjiang Navy stayed behind. All in all, there are thousands of left-behind troops in key places at Yongning Temple and Heilongjiang Estuary. With more than 200 artillery pieces on board, ditches, forts, bunkers, and watchtowers in several villages, on this land , even if Huang Taiji came back to life and came with the two yellow flag Manchu elites, he could only leave in anger and leave corpses on the ground. The garrison envoy Mai Yunmin, the commander of the 15th Guard Brigade Chen Dehong, and the commander of the 16th Brigade Zhou Yufa each led a group of troops, divided into three groups: left, middle and right. Mai Yunmin led his own troops and horses together with the 4,000 troops and horses of the Bomubogor leader as the central army. Slightly behind the two armies on the left and right, he provided supplies for the army with thousands of sledges and vehicles. Chen Dehong led two regiments and 10,000 tribal soldiers and horses to advance on the left route in two directions: east and south. The outposts were placed more than a hundred miles away. Zhou Yufa's 16th Brigade also made two regiments of troops and 10,000 tribal troops, advancing on alert in the west and south directions. Groups of cavalry messengers galloped back and forth on the snowy fields, reporting all kinds of disturbances and suspicious situations ahead to the following commanders. "Sir! As far as I know, from Heilongjiang to Jilin, there are not many people who build slaves. At most, they are villages that have surrendered to the rebels. How can you feel like you are facing a powerful enemy?" Bomu Boguoer is still a leader after all. I was very puzzled by Mai Yunmin's arrangement. "That's why you suffered a big loss from Huang Taiji! You suffered such a defeat!" Mai Yunmin cursed a few words in his heart, but he couldn't tell it at all on his face. "Big Head Man, you are also an official of our Southern Guangdong Army. In the military order issued by the lord, you probably know the rules on how to march and camp. How come you have forgotten it at this time? Besides, the soldiers and horses under our subordinates at the moment, In addition to your original thousands of soldiers and horses, there are more and more people from various ministries who are constantly coming to join. If you don¡¯t tighten the system strictly, the defeat of the Lena River will happen again!¡± Bomu Bogor couldn't help but blush because of the embarrassing incident at the Lena River, and he never discussed with Mai Yunmin whether he should be so cautious. He just whipped up his horse whip and called a personal attendant: "Go down the order! Every battalion and every team must strictly enforce military discipline! Who dares to disobey military discipline? The guard will make you soft-hearted, and I will not tolerate this kind of thing!" "Zha! !" Dozens of fast horses galloped out of the Chinese army and went to convey the military orders of the big head of Bomubogor to the tribal soldiers. In the distance, several riders were galloping from the southeast, meeting a dozen riders who were passing orders to the left. "Sir! Brigadier Chen ordered us to come and report that the enemy situation was discovered at the outpost on the left. There are about a hundred Liao bandits infested! We are sending troops up!" "Okay! Finally I am not so bored anymore!" Bomu Bogor He spoke first. He was quite happy, "I've been walking for a few days, and finallySomething has been done! Sir, would you like me to come up? " "Big head man, it is about dozens of miles from the central army to the troops on the left, and it is at least dozens of miles from the main army on the left to his forward outpost. After this hundred and ten miles, I am afraid that there will be nothing. Just sit quietly in the middle of the army. If there is a war, you will inevitably have to show off your skills. " Mai Yunmin spoke, and Bomubogor had to put back his eagerness to try. Bored, he raised his telescope and looked around the wilderness. Suddenly, several horses jumped out from the western skyline. The horses broke his boredom. The hooves of the horses flew up, lifting up the knee-deep snow, and splashing snowflakes on the horses and the riders on the horses. It was obvious at a glance that there must be something there. What kind of emergency situation would make the rider run all the way regardless of his horse power? "I'm telling you, sir!" There are police on the west side of the road! Brigadier Zhou ordered us to come and report! " "explain! What's the matter? Did Horqin's Mongols come from the west and kill them? Are you getting into trouble with them? "Mai Yunmin analyzed and judged based on the enemy information in his mind. The closest one to him was the Forty-nine Banners commanded by Wu Keshan, a relative of the Liaodong rebels and a vassal of Horqin Mongolia. "Send the order! The Chinese army stopped advancing! " Following Mai Yunmin's order, the sound of horns, the sound of horse hooves, and the sound of passwords were intertwined, and the cavalry messengers galloped away in all directions of the marching team. "Stop! " "All departments are on standby and must not relax! " "Send troops and horses to the west to send out warnings, and be ready to respond at any time! ¡± Mai Yunmin couldn¡¯t help but be careless. Among the thirteen Mongolian banners of the outer vassal, Prince Tuxietu of Horqin¡¯s right-wing banner had a population of 254 Niulu, and Prince Zhuolitu of the left-wing banner also had 193 Niulu. The left and right banners, A total of 447 cattle, a huge population of more than 22,000 households, not counting the herdsmen in the hands of the princes and noble tribal leaders. If Wu Keshan really gathered tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry to attack from his flank, don't. Saying that the plan to attack the Liaodong rebels in the south has failed will not attract the attention of the Liaodong rebels and will not create pressure for them to be attacked from both sides. I am afraid that the tragic defeat at the Lena River will happen again without brutal actual combat. After inspection, Mai Yunmin couldn't believe the military discipline of these Sauron troops! This is why he sent a large number of Southern Cantonese soldiers to serve as the backbone of those tribal troops. Otherwise, he would have tens of thousands of Mongolian troops in the wilderness. The soldiers and horses of the tribes came over overwhelmingly and dispersed without engaging in battle! However, the thousands of soldiers and horses of Bomu Bogor's headquarters were still good among the officers. After giving orders one after another, they began to select terrain in the wilderness, set up positions, and make preparations for setting up camp. Some people took out ropes, measured dimensions, and allocated work sections. Some people took out spades and picks and worked hard on the frozen hard ground. Some people dug out trenches to block the attack of large groups of enemy cavalry. Some people even circled the accompanying vehicles and set up tents in the circle. Some people carried birch bark barrels to several nearby frozen rivers. The ice was broken open to get water, and some tribes who were good at fishing caught nets of fat fish from under the ice. As soon as the fish came out of the water, they were frozen to death in the cold weather. The ropes were strung together in front of the cooking cart, and there was inevitably another burst of joy. In just a few moments, they would be able to drink the delicious hot fish soup. The ordinary soldiers could cheer, but the generals did not. Don't dare to slack off. Dozens of teams of ten sentries have been sent out to strengthen their vigilance for movements in the northwest. At the same time, people are ordered to convey the latest military information to Chen Dehong on the left, so that he must also step up. Be on guard to prevent the Liaodong rebels from setting a huge trap for us! The signal troops sent by Chen Dehong of the Left Route Army have just set off, but the signal troops sent by Chen Dehong were taken to the Chinese army by the patrolling troops. Lin Jun, the outpost officer of the Guards Battalion under Brigadier Chen Dehong, was ordered to come to report the victory! " As an officer of the Guards Battalion, Lin Jun is naturally familiar with many of Mai Yunmin's subordinates. Even Mai Yunmin also has some impressions of this sentry officer. Naturally, there is no need for those procedures to check the belt seal. " Present it! "Seeing Lin Jun take out the document with the seal of customs defense from the bag he carried with him, Mai Yunmin dropped half of it with a stone. The Left Route Army must not have any big enemy situation, otherwise, Chen Dehong would never have this I took the time to write a letter to express my gratitude. The letter was written by Chen Dehong. It can be seen from the familiar handwriting and the style of writing. In the letter, Chen Dehong reported the situation of the Left Army to Mai Yunmin rather complainingly! Meeting a king turns out to be nothing more than bronze! This is the central idea in Chen Dehong's book.sp; His outpost troops did encounter a small group of Qing troops. It was also out of rigor that while sending people to fight, they reported to the top. As a result, the war was over as soon as the signal soldiers sent to report the news left. In this battle, more than 20 people were beheaded, more than 30 horses and a batch of armor and weapons were captured. This result is nothing, but dozens of prisoners were recaptured from this small group of Qing troops. "Our brigade commander said that these people can be regarded as subordinates of our Southern Guangdong Army and cannot be dealt with casually, so he ordered people to escort them over. It is estimated that they will arrive tomorrow." "Takeuchi Toemon? Japanese people?!" Mai Yunmin couldn't help being surprised when she looked at the list of retrieval personnel listed in the document. How did these dwarfs become prisoners of the Liao thieves? ! "Sir General, this is a long story!" When Takeuchi Toemon and others were escorted to Mai Yunmin, it was already dinner time the next day. It was inevitable that he would have to explain to Mai Yunmin why he came to this place in Liaodong. That was still in the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign. Speaking of which, it was already the previous year. ¡°Two ships belonging to Takeuchi Toemon, a merchant of Japan¡¯s Echizen Domain, and his son Takeuchi Tozomon, as well as a ship belonging to Kunida Hy¨emon, set anchor. Including the crew, there are 58 people in total. Where are they going? We are going to Matsumae Town in southern Hokkaido. They were going there to do some business. The Echizen Domain is one of the ancient imperial kingdoms in Japan. It belongs to the Hokurikudo and is also called Yueshu. The territory of Echizen Province was approximately the Reihoku area of ??present-day Fukui Prefecture and Tsuruga City. Listen, Echizen Country, known as one of the sixty-six countries, is only as big as two neighborhood offices.
