In May of the fifth year of Shunzhi in the Great Qing Dynasty, just half a month after the death of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third general of the Edo Shogunate in Japan, the general of the Great Qing Dynasty Shengjing and the prince of Shuoyu, Duoduo, finally ended their long journey and arrived at Nuergan New Town, which is located near the mouth of the Heilongjiang River.

Located on the north bank of the Heilongjiang River, about 70 miles away from the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, Nuergan New Town is a civil structure fortress built next to the beachhead on the north bank of the Heilongjiang River.

The fort is triangular in shape, with a ditch two feet wide and one zhang deep on the other side, along the river beach of the Heilongjiang River. Each of the three corners of the triangular bastion is a protruding prismatic solid turret with 6-pounder bronze cannons made in the Holy Roman Empire or Italy, all of which were originally shipped by the Risbanian galleon.

On the edge of the Heilongjiang River to the south of the fortress, there is also a port and a market. It is summer, and it is the best season of the year in the area of the Heilongjiang estuary. The Sauron tribes around Nuergan would send furs, dongzhu, ginseng, and other mountain goods that could be sold for two dollars to the Nuergan Market. Merchants from the Nine Banners and the Green Banner outside the Guanwai would use the waterways of the Songhua River, the Nenjiang River, and the Heilongjiang River to transport grain, salt, and iron tools to the city of Nuergan in exchange for the specialties of the Saurons.

There are also more than a dozen 3,000 stone bird boats operated by North Korean merchants who speak Shandong and Huizhou dialects, and since the fourth year of Shunzhi, they have run the Nuergan-Vladivostok-Busan route.

These merchant ships often sailed north from Busan in the summer to transport cloth and miscellaneous goods to Nuer Gandusi, and then to Vladivostok with furs, dongzhu and various medicinal herbs. At the port of Vladivostok, the furs and dongzhu were unloaded, and more medicinal herbs (ginseng, deer antler, tiger bones, etc.) were loaded and shipped to Busan. I run a round trip a year, but the money I earn is definitely several times more than running the Beiyang route!

It was precisely because of these "Korean bird boats" that the port and trading market of Nuergancheng prospered in a very short period of time. What was once regarded as a bitter cold place has become increasingly prosperous thanks to the Pacific fur and pearl trade.

"Hehe, Murima, you're doing a good job! The place where the bird doesn't poop is also wider! ”

Standing on the walls of the Nurkan Triangle Citadel, looking at the thriving bazaars and docks below, Dordor gave a thumbs up and praised Mulima.

Where did Mulima dare to take credit, "Lord, you are really tormenting the slaves, how can this be run by the slaves?" It was all because of the foresight of the Emperor Ama and the prince that they contacted the people of Zhisbania, which made Nurgan prosperous. ”

"Merit is merit," said Duoduo, waving his hand, "what is there to be humble?" This king has clear rewards and punishments, and he will definitely play for you.

Bow down! Your brother is doing well, how are your Sauron cavalry training? You won't disappoint this king, will you? ”

After Ao Bai was defeated by the Cossacks, he was busy with two things, one was to bury himself in rectifying the defense along the Heilongjiang River. In addition to the Nuergan Fortress, four major fortresses such as Boli Fortress, Aihui Fortress, Lahasusu Fortress, and Hailan Pao Fortress were also built, and a city was also built in Acheng near the Songhua River, which served as the fundamental place of Angbang Zhangjing in Heilongjiang.

The second thing is to train the Sauron Pioneer Battalion. The so-called Sauron Pioneer Battalion, the new type of cavalry of the Cossacks proposed to Dolgon before the Aobai, did not wear armor or shoot on horseback, but were equipped with mounted guns, arquebuses, sabers and Ili horses, and adopted the tactics of dismounting and shooting, assault on horseback and group charge.

In the beginning, the Sauron Pioneer Armor had only 1,000 men. But later, the strong men of the Sauron tribes along the Heilongjiang River enthusiastically joined the army, and the Warat Mongols and Zhisi Banians sent a sufficient number of Ili horses and arquebuses. Therefore, Dorgon approved the plan proposed by Dordor and Aobai to expand the number of Sauron's vanguard armor, and the number was expanded to 3,000.

Now the first batch of 1,000 recruited Sauron cavalry has completed their training and formed 2 Niulu, all of which followed Aobai and arrived at Nuergancheng together.

The reason why Duoduo and Ao Bai both came to Nuergancheng was that they received a secret report from the Korean kingdom that the Japanese Tokugawa shogun was planning a large-scale invasion of Kugu Island - this matter caused a stir in Japan, and the Korean kingdom, which was very concerned about Japan's movements after the Imjin War, of course learned the news, so it immediately notified the shogun's palace in Shengjing.

As soon as Duoduo heard that the Japanese were coming to grab furs with the Qing Kingdom again, of course he couldn't agree, so he ordered Ao Bai to immediately lead 1,000 Sauron cavalry to Nuergancheng, and he himself left Shengjing to sit in Nuergancheng.

"Don't worry," Ao Bai immediately patted his chest and promised, "The 1,000 Sauron cavalry of the minions are all elites who have been trained and trained, and they are enough to withstand 3,000 Japanese soldiers!" ”

He doesn't dare to say big things now, he doesn't dare to brag about one enemy ten, and it would be very good to be able to fight one enemy three.

"What if there are more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers on Sakhalin?" Duoduo asked.

"Then don't be afraid," said Aobai, "the slave Sauron soldiers are all from Orion, and they are accustomed to bitter cold, so they can fight the Japanese on Sakhalin. ”

Dodor nodded, "That's going to be hard for you." ”

"Slaves are not afraid of hardship, as long as they can do things for the Qing Dynasty, for the emperor, and for the emperor, they are not afraid of death!"

Aobai's words were beautiful, and Duoduo nodded with satisfaction: "Good! With your words, this king is relieved. If there are too many Japanese troops on Sakhalin to win for a while, you will try to delay until next year when all the cavalry of Sauron is trained, and then the king will personally take them to Sakhalin! ”

He paused, "In addition, this king also brought half a Hongyi small cannon Niulu, a total of 3 Hongyi small cannons, you take them to the island together." ”

"Wow!" Ao Bai hurriedly received the order.

Dordor asked, "Is there a ship to the island?" ”

Mulima took the question and replied, "Back to the prince, the ship has been prepared, a Japanese sailing ship, and two Korean merchant ships. ”

"Someone on the island to pick it up?"

"Yes, yes," said Mulima, "the Hezhe, Feyaka, and Ainu of the island have always paid us mink, and the patriarch of the Fiyaka is related to the king. ”

"Got a relative?" Duoduo smiled, "It's a relative who can't beat eight poles, right?" ”

Mulima smiled and said, "That's also a relative!" ”

"Okay!" Duoduo nodded, "Then get some cloth and iron tools and send them over, and you can get closer." ”

Aixin Jueluo's family has many relatives here in their hometown in the Northeast, the three aunts, the eight aunts, count them with their fingers, and those who have a head and a face can climb a little closer. Even if you can't get in, it's a fellow villager in the Northeast, and there are several two or three generations up, maybe you can still hunt in the old forest together!

This relationship, the Rakshasa country and the Japanese country will not have it, so the people of Ao Bai will have a home advantage in Sakhalin!

......

In April of the fourth year of Hongxing, the Japanese shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu died, and 5,000 Japanese soldiers led by Kusunoki Masayuki were divided into three groups to cross Kuwu Island...... This is the transcript of the Generalissimo's Palace? Why not the Ministry of Rites? ”

Nanjing Forbidden City, Fengtian Temple, East Warm Pavilion.

Emperor Zhu is presiding over the routine meeting of the two governments, and today as usual, there are 16 important matters to be discussed, and the first of these is that the evil Japanese imperialism sent troops to Kuwu Island.

This is the ...... It should be reported by the Ministry of Rites! And it's not a particularly important matter, the Ming Dynasty can't send troops to Kuwu Island to resist the Japanese, right?

"Your Majesty," replied Li Yan, the military advisor of the Generalissimo's Mansion, "the Generalissimo's Mansion feels that this is our chance to recover the Ryukyu Kingdom. This Ryukyu Kingdom has always been a vassal of the Celestial Empire, but it was captured by the Satsuma Domain of Japan, and now it is nominally under the control of the Celestial Empire, but secretly it is controlled by the Satsuma Domain, which is really detrimental to the majesty of the Celestial Empire.

Now Annam, Siam, Chenla, and Laos have all signed the "Treaty of Clans", and among the Ming vassal states in the southeast sea, only the three kingdoms of Ryukyu, Sulu, and Boni have not signed the treaty. ”
