"Your Majesty, we can't sit idly by like this, we have to fight back against those old hairies!"

"Otherwise, it will be much more difficult to wait for those old hairy people to gain a foothold in this great northeast, and it will be much more difficult to drive them away."

Zhang Guangfu, who had just cleaned up the battlefield and counted the results, frowned and proposed to Zhu Youxiao.

Then, Zhang Guangfu expressed his idea: load the North Sea Fleet with six Leopard cruisers and dozens of large transport ships, and take a boat directly to the north from the mouth of the Heilongjiang River in Temple Street.

Then sail on the whale sea, and at most land in a day or two, and then march north along the Aldan River, with logistical supplies and baggage.

According to intelligence, this Aldan River is also quite strange: it originates in the Outer Khingan Mountains, but it flows northward!

The bend of the course of the Aldan River has been impacted into an unusually fertile land called the Aldan Plain.

However, although the river is extremely magical, it also has a long annual freeze period, but fortunately it has thawed now.

Of course, you can also go west through the Aldan Plain, go to the Dalena River, and then cross the Lena River to Yakutsk, but in that case, the logistics of these tens of thousands of troops will be difficult to solve.

What Zhang Guangfu said is very reasonable, one set of plans after another.

Obviously, this guy has put a lot of effort into this expedition.

Zhu Youxiao quietly listened to his plan, nodded, and said with satisfaction, "Zhang Guangfu, your suggestion is very good." ”

He first affirmed the other party's plan.

After all, there are really not many generals with such brains and foresight in the new army of the Ming Dynasty, and they are worthy of encouragement and praise, "However, since we have arrived here, we simply divide the troops into two ways:

A group of 20,000 marines marched north from the Amur River to clear the natives, marched through the Trans-Khingan Mountains, and finally reached the Aldan Plain and then went north. ”

"Although the road is a little farther, the soldiers of the Marine Corps will not be afraid of hard work."

"On the other hand, your brother Zhang Guangzhe will lead 15,000 naval officers and men, and lead half of the warships and transport ships of the North Sea Fleet, responsible for transporting military supplies, and arrive at the Aldan River first, and then join the army officers and soldiers to advance."

"I remember that this military operation against Lao Maozi will only have one month, and then we must return to the newly built "Beidagang" at the northern tip of Sakhalin Island. ”

"No matter how you fight, what results you get, and how many military achievements you can get, it's up to you two brothers!"

Zhu Youxiao considered the gains and losses, agreed with Zhang Guangfu's suggestion, and simply let him lead the soldiers of the 20,000 Marine Brigade to set off from Temple Street.

The soldiers carried a month's worth of food, salt, wine and other military supplies, crossed the Trans-Khingan Mountains along the estuary of the Xilinmudi River, marched to the Nuyamka River valley, and then marched north along the Aldan River.

The main purpose of his northern expedition was to occupy the Great Northeast in advance and curb the large-scale expansion of the Tsarist Empire, and now of course he would not oppose Zhang Guangfu's major counteroffensive plan.

However, because the actions of the Southern Ming puppet dynasty were too big, the time for this northern expedition was indeed very tight, and Zhang Guangfu must be explained clearly, lest they miss the real big thing.

Anyway, in the Great Northeast Region today, there are already Lu Xiangsheng's Blue Dragon Legion and Lu Jiude's two Brave Guard Legions, which are carrying out a sweep from south to north.

Even without the intervention of the Royal North Sea Fleet, within half a year at most, it can completely control and occupy the entire Eastern Siberia, including the Great Northeast.

When the time comes, any enemies in the East Siberian region, including Lao Maozi, will also be cleaned up without the slightest accident.

After all, this kind of operation of the sweep is still relatively professional in the army, not to mention the sweep initiated by hundreds of thousands of troops.

Although a total of 35,000 officers and men of the North Sea Fleet were dispatched to expel and eliminate Lao Maozi.

However, the officers and men of the North Sea Fleet who moved west into the Heilongjiang River valley included 40,000 officers and men of the North Sea Fleet who stayed behind in Vladivostok and Sakhalin.

These naval officers and men used to clean up the Heilongjiang and Ussuri River basins, but it was enough.

It's just that in this way, the time will be more tight, and you have to hurry up.

A day later, the officers and men of the North Sea Fleet divided into two routes, heading towards their respective destinations and conducting their respective military operations.

In mid-May, Zhu Youxiao led 40,000 officers and men of the North Sea Fleet to finally arrive in the hinterland of the Great Northeast, and successfully joined forces with Lu Jiude's First Army of the Yongwei Army at Hailan Pao. 202 eBooks

……

This large northeast, because of the climate influence of the Xiaoice period, caused the customs outside the very cold.

During this period, the frost-free period in this area was extremely short throughout the year, which also seriously affected the production of grain outside the customs and the development of the agricultural economy.

As a result, the barbarian tribes produced food all year round was not enough to meet their needs.

This is also the main reason why these scattered tribes have been fighting each other again and again for so many years, and carrying out plundering wars.

They could use war and plunder among themselves to obtain food and goods, and then use these assets to purchase daily necessities such as grain and cloth from the merchants of Kannai.

Even they have made very strict regulations on the varieties of imported goods, and they do not want to enjoy luxury goods, but only buy their daily necessities.

Now that the Ming Empire has risen strongly, not to mention that it is no longer feasible to enter the customs to "fight the grass valley", even those merchants who came to trade materials are gone!

However, they were helpless, because they would never dare to scratch the tiger whiskers of the Ming Empire again.

However, their own lack of grain production has also led to a serious shortage of food in various tribes in the entire Great Northeast for most of the past six months.

Although all tribes, large and small, are trying their best to accumulate their own tribe's food materials, the "frost-free period" is too short, limiting their food production.

In addition, the tribes in the northeast are not good at farming and working at all, and their main rations are still obtained from hunting and fishing, so they have never been able to fundamentally solve the food problem.

This is also the reason why the wild boar Pinurhachi slaughtered the Han people outside the Guan: it was precisely because of the shortage of food outside the Guan, in order to survive and grow in Houjin, that the wild boar skin came up with such a way to lose his conscience.

He slaughtered millions of Han people outside the Guanxi to reduce food and save food, and even several big traitors who first took refuge in the Tartars were almost slaughtered together, which shows the degree of food tension outside the Guanxi at that time.

Now when the Ming Empire is attacking, there has been a serious food shortage outside the Guan, and even a large number of people from various tribes have starved to death.

Therefore, the Ming Empire is now carrying out a sweep of the Great Northeast, with bread in one hand and a stick in the other.

One hand is to eat three meals a day, and only need to follow the arrangement to work.

The other hand is a sharp butcher's knife, but anyone who resists stubbornly will be killed.

As a result, countless tribes, cottages, and villages in the Northeast that were starved and thin-skinned surrendered one after another when the Ming Empire's army swept away.

After a full meal, everyone happily joined the royal building brigade and worked extremely diligently.

In this way, Lu Jiude's two brave guard legions, the sweep operation under their control was carried out extremely smoothly.

It only took him two months to work with the officers and men of the Blue Dragon Legion and the North Sea Fleet to completely occupy and control the entire Eastern Siberia, including the Great Northeast.

This area, which is comparable to the total area of the Ming Empire, has become an inseparable part of the Ming Empire.

This kind of work of opening up the territory is unprecedented in ancient and modern times, and it is the first time since the opening of the Han Empire!

There is no doubt that whether it is Lu Jiude, Lu Xiangsheng, or Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Guangzhe, Zhang Guangfu and others, it is 100% certain that they will be famous in history.

At the beginning of June, this round of sweeping finally came to an end.

Eastern Siberia, including the entire Great Northeast, has all fallen into the arms of the Ming Empire.

Even the super official roads, the first few main roads built, also run through the entire territory of this area!

Today, the East Siberian branch of the Ming Royal Construction Company, with nearly 10 million people, is working in full swing, and even the 10,000 acres of ecological farms have been built in this huge area!

A huge region of East Siberia can already achieve self-sufficiency for millions of people.

Living and working in peace and contentment is no longer a legend and a dream.

It, in this vast land, is already a reality.
