In this era, all people in the area north of Heilongjiang and south of the Waixing'an Mountains were collectively called Sauron. It was not until the Kangxi Dynasty that Sauron commanded the Lu Ewenki tribe alone.
Yang Fan planned to pull these people out and form the Sauron Corps. With the addition of the Donghai Jurchen Donghai Corps, the number would be enough. They could go south to attack the Qing Dynasty's territory.
Now that Jiannu has established a country, and the country is called the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji is short of proclaiming himself emperor. Yang Fan has nothing to be polite about.
Yang Fan planned to give Huang Taiji a big gift, and waited until he arrived outside the Great Wall with more than 200,000 troops. Yang Fan also led the Sauron Corps and the Donghai Corps to Liaodong. Yang Fan planned to send troops as soon as the Qing troops entered the pass.
The Mongolian cavalry in Duolun City intercepted the battlefield.
At that time, the Mongolian rangers will dispatch horse teams in small groups to specifically attack the logistics transportation and messengers of the Jiannu, causing the inside and outside of the customs to lose contact.
Yang Fan was convinced that he had something that the savages were jealous of, and he was not afraid that they would not use it for him.
Today Yang Fan said that he would divide territories for them based on their strength. These people will have to fight when they go back. Large tribes will annex small tribes. In order to protect themselves, small tribes will also fight with tribes that are related by blood and are closer to each other.
Automatically merge to protect yourself.
In particular, once the territory is confirmed by the Ming Dynasty, it will be difficult to change it in the future. Therefore, they will definitely come up with a result first. In this way, after integration, there will be no too small forces. It will also be easier for Yang Fan to manage.
Otherwise, they would all be small teams of dozens of people, and their command would be a problem. Yang Fan hoped that they could be organized into a separate unit with a thousand households, and at worst they would have to have a battalion leader of 500 people.
The East China Sea Jurchens have confirmed that more than 40,000 people will go out to fight. Yang Fan probably can't get 20,000 to 30,000 of these Beishan Jurchens and Sauron people. Such a total of 60,000 to 70,000 people is enough to fight the Qing Dynasty.
.
There are fewer people, and there are not enough troops to attack the city. After all, people like Jiannu now own many fortified cities.
After finishing this matter, Yang Fan took the fleet back to Vladivostok. Because here in Temple Street, even though it is the Heilongjiang estuary, there are more and more floating ice, which affects the safety of navigation. Yang Fan must go back immediately.
The return journey was smooth sailing, and three days later, driven by the northwest wind, we returned to the port of Vladivostok. The lucky ship unloaded its cargo and lacked ballast, so it simply loaded the tens of thousands of catties of fish owned by the wife and transported them back to Vladivostok.
Yang Fan returned to his wooden villa, and Chen Xi and Mei Xiang came to greet him happily. They really wanted to go to Temple Street to have a look, but unfortunately the master did not agree. They were asked to stay and take care of the children with Aunt Mei.
But Xiao Niangpi also brought good things for them. Each of them had a small bag of dongzhu. They got it on Temple Street. There are a lot of dongzhu there, and the clams in the river, as long as they are big enough, they can be opened quietly.
Silent and clear Dongzhu.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru discovered a small pond, and there were huge river clams under the frozen ice. Xiao Niangpi asked the engineers to blast open the ice and salvage tens of thousands of river mussels.
Then, they were on the boat with Busia and four maids, and they happily used daggers to pry open the river clams. They rummaged through the clam meat and screamed excitedly when they found a pearl.
The two of them discovered that this is really an interesting game. It is equivalent to opening a blind box. Before opening it, no one knows whether there are pearls inside. It all depends on luck.
"Wow, what a beautiful pearl. Is this the legendary Dongzhu?" Chen Xi's eyes were full of little stars. She took out a dozen shining Dongzhu from the bag with her little hands and praised.
"Of course, this is the most authentic Dongzhu." Xiao Niangpi said proudly. "I got more than 10,000 big river mussels and brought them back. We can just use a dagger to pry open a few and have a look.
Are there any pearls?"
Chen Xi and Mei Xiang immediately became happy. If they opened the blind box and found the pearl, they would be extremely happy. This is really a good activity after dinner.
"Everyone has a share," and whoever draws it will get it." Xiao Niangpi waved her hand boldly and said.
"Thank you, madam." Everyone complimented her.
The maids were very happy. They didn't expect that coming to this bitter cold place with the master and his wife would have such benefits. It would be great if you could get yourself a pair of Dongzhu necklaces. This thing is not cheap in Daming. It is very valuable.
.
Whose maid can have such a heavy reward? Whose maid can wear the Dongzhu necklace?
This Dingyuan uncle's house is probably the first one in the Ming Dynasty.
"By the way, sir, before you left, didn't you say you were going to build the China-Eastern Railway?" Chen Xi asked. "The line needs to be surveyed, and it probably won't be discussed until next spring anyway. And the investment is also huge. I don't know if the finance can afford it."
rise."
Yang Fan smiled and said: "There is no need to survey, I have a ready-made road map, just follow the road map to build it. In addition, we will not stop at 762, we will build the smallest railway with 381 gauge. One train has a capacity of 500 to 800 tons. That's it.
It’s enough.”
Chen Xi nodded and said: "That's good. The fifteen-inch track is very economical. Even the ballast is saved. Use stone rollers to compact the roadbed and lay the sleepers directly. The construction speed is also fast. If it is constructed in sections, there will be
After two or three years, I went to Ulan-Ude."
The 381 narrow gauge really saves money and man-hours. In addition to the 762 narrow gauge being used as the trunk line in Kailai, this smallest narrow gauge will be the most developed in the future. Prefecture and county branch lines outside the provincial capital are most suitable for this small railway.
In this era, the natural economy is the main body. Under the agricultural economy, there is not much population movement. The pressure on material transportation is very small. It is wasteful to build the standard rail for future generations. There is not such a large demand for transportation capacity.
This kind of small train can burn wood or coal. As long as it has fuel and water, it can run anywhere. Especially in mountainous areas, the small train with a width of just over one meter is more suitable for narrow road conditions.
Although the speed is very slow, only about 25 kilometers, it is much faster than a horse-drawn carriage and an ox-cart. It can also run 600 kilometers in a day and night, which is 1,200 miles. It is faster than eight hundred miles of acceleration.
Chen Xi asked: "Sir, have you agreed on your Sauron mercenary group? Our warehouse in Vladivostok does not have many firearms. I am afraid we can only equip them with cold weapons. Armor is not enough."
After all, this colony was prepared based on the military supplies of three regiments. Now there are 60,000 to 70,000 people at once. The weapons and armor are definitely not enough. Fortunately, there are sufficient food reserves. Not only are there many canned seafood, but they have been cultivated here for two years.
Corn, rice, and granaries are all piled up.
Yang Fan said: "If you don't have armor, you won't wear armor. All the steel ingots stored here are taken out to make weapons. The main ones are spears, which save the most steel. We will issue armor to the officers, but not to the soldiers. Sauron Soldiers
They are brave in battle and can fight without armor. Just give them the captured Mongolian bow."
