Jilin was the forefront of the Ming Dynasty's rule in the Northeast, and after Zhu Zhanji of the Ming Dynasty gave up the Nuer Gandu Division, Jilin City became the northernmost region that the Ming Dynasty could actually control.

Of course, at this time, Jilin City was not the second-class city with a population of 4 million in later generations, but a military base mainly for shipbuilding.

The name Jilin comes from the Manchu language, the full name is "Jilin Wula", which means "the city along the river", Jilin is one of the important areas that human beings inhabited and developed earlier in the northeast, and there were human beings living 20,000 years ago. However, before the Ming Dynasty, Jilin was just a small fishing village near the Songhua River, and it had no special significance.

After the Ming Dynasty took over a large area of land in the northeast of the Yuan Dynasty, in order to strengthen the management of the northeast frontier, in the seventh year of Yongle, the highest local administrative body in the estuary of the Heilongjiang River, the Ussuri River, the Songhua River basin and other places, Nuergandu commanded the envoys, responsible for collecting taxes and managing local administrative affairs.

In order to open up communication lines with the hinterland, especially to transport grain, cloth, and military supplies to the vast areas south of the Daxing'an Mountains and the Heilongjiang River Valley, we turned our attention to water transportation under the very difficult situation of land transportation. Jilin is located in the middle of the upper reaches of the Songhua River, and the water surface was wide and suitable for large ships to sail. In order to build transport ships and military ships, the Ming Dynasty sent Liaodong Dusi to Jilin for shipbuilding three times in the eighteenth year of Yongle, the first year of Hongxi, and the seventh year of Xuande.

Later, although the Nuer Gandu Division was revoked, there has always been a Ming Dynasty garrison here in Jilin. However, after the defeat of Salhu in the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty gradually withdrew from the northeast, and the Jilin shipyard was abandoned. However, in the sixth year of Shenwu, Zhao Guodong, the governor of the northeast of the new Ming Dynasty, reoccupied Shenyang, and in order to control the vast northeast, Zhao Guodong reopened a shipyard in Jilin to manufacture inland navigation ships for rapid transportation and troop transfer in the Songhua River and Heilongjiang River basins.

In the eighth year of Shenwu, Zhu Hongsan redivided the administrative division, and the entire northeast region was divided into three provinces: Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang from the original two prefectures, and the station of Jilin Province was naturally Jilin City.

In recent years, because of the imperial court's attention to the Northeast, a large amount of funds have been allocated to the Northeast, and a large number of people have come at the same time, of course, these people did not come voluntarily, but the families of the convicts who were assigned in the Suzhou Incident.

With the addition of a large number of people and funds, coupled with the attention of the imperial court, Jilin City has become a large city with a population of 30,000 in the twelfth year of Shenwu, because the city built during the Yongle period is too small to accommodate so many people, so the Jilin general Duan Fei decided to rebuild a new city one kilometer southeast of the old city, Ashhatun.

In July of the twelfth year of Shenwu, the season in the south is unbearable, but Jilin is located in the northeast, and the Xiaoice River period has not ended, and the residents of Jilin City are still wearing long-sleeved clothes.

At noon that day, three people came to the north gate of Jilin City, three strange people in fur.

Of course, there are many ethnic minorities in the Northeast, and there are many ethnic minorities wearing roe deer fur coats, but it is rare to wear such clothes in this weather.

The Ming soldiers guarding the gate saw these three strange people, picked up their muskets and asked, "Wait a minute, who are you?" Which tribe is it? ”

There are many ethnic minorities in Northeast China, mainly Mongolian, Daur, Evenki, Oroqen, etc., but there are many other ethnic groups with a small number of people, and the language is also strange

Because of the geographical isolation, there are many people of the same ethnic group but the language is not clear, so the common languages in the Northeast are Mongolian and Manchu.

That Ming soldier has been in the Northeast for five or six years, and he still speaks some basic Mongolian and Manchu languages, and it is these two languages that he spoke just now.

The three people outside Jilin City are the three young Evenki people Tao Li, Yinji Khan, and Hana. After they came out of the Great Khing'an Mountains, they walked for half a year before they arrived at Jilin City. The three of them have never gone far away, and the climate in the Great Khing'an Mountains is cold, and the highest temperature in a year is only about 10 degrees above zero, so the three of them don't have any summer clothes at all.

It was the first time Tao Li had encountered such a hot weather, he opened his robe, put the bow and arrows on his back, showed no hostility with his empty hands, walked to the Ming soldier and said in Manchu: "This Niu Lu master, we are from the Taha tribe on the bank of the Ewen River, my name is Tao Li, and behind me are my wife and sister, may I ask Niu Lu Master Is this Jilin City?" ”

Tao Li didn't know what to call the soldier opposite, the biggest official he had ever seen in his life was the Jurchen Niu Lu who was stationed in the tribe back then, so he called the Ming soldier Niu Lu Master.

Seeing Tao Li like this, after hearing his words, the Ming soldiers knew that these people were soil buns from the mountains. In recent years, Jilin City has developed greatly, and the transportation in the customs is convenient, so many merchants in the customs have come to Jilin to buy furs and ginseng and deer antlers. In order to buy at a good price, those ethnic minorities do not like to come to buy, but come to Jilin City to sell, and these three children are probably also here to sell things.

Seeing that there was no threat, the Ming soldiers collected their muskets and asked, "You three children belong to that tribe, what about the adults in your family?" ”

Tao Li was a little unhappy when he heard that they were children, Tao Li was already an adult in the tribe, and he felt that he was alone after marrying a wife.

Tao Li did not answer the soldier's question, but continued to ask, "Is this Jilin City?" I want to see your patriarch! ”

The soldiers of the Ming army saw that Tao Li was not tall but his tone was not small, and asked with a smile: "Little doll, do you want to see our general?" Is there something you can do? ”

"Our Taha tribe was killed by the white ghosts from the north, only the three of us are left, I will ask the patriarch to administer justice for our tribe!"

The soldiers of the Ming army knew what was going on when they heard Tao Li say this, these Evenks and Oroqen people were feuding, and they must have failed in the war with the Oroqen people, and they wanted to come to the Ming Dynasty to uphold justice. But the imperial court's policy towards these ethnic minorities is to let them go, as long as you surrender to the Ming Dynasty, you can fight as much as you like.

"Boy, the Ming Emperor has a holy decree not to interfere in the affairs between your clans, you shouldn't come here for help, you should go to your Onen Department for help." The Onen tribe is the largest tribe among the Evenks, with thousands of adult warriors in the upper reaches of the Ergun River.

"Master Niulu, our tribe was not slaughtered by the Oroqen people, it was a white ghost, a white ghost from the north!"

The Ming soldier was really impatient by Tao Li, now Jilin City is the material distribution center in the northeast, there are many people who enter and leave the city every day, and they have the kung fu to play with the Evenki children.

The Ming soldier was just about to drive Tao Li away, and a platoon commander came out of the city, who was also the commander responsible for guarding the north gate, and he heard Tao Li's noise outside the door

, he, as a junior officer, knew some news that ordinary soldiers did not know. Now there is a group of Europeans in the north, I heard that many tribes in the Heilongjiang River valley have suffered losses, and many people have come to Jilin to complain, is this the same thing for this Evenki child?

The platoon commander came out and asked, "Boy, what do you mean by the white ghost?" ”

Tao Li had never seen a Russian, and then Yinji Khan behind him stood up and said: "They are very tall, a head taller than you, their hair is golden, their skin is very white, and some of them still have blue eyes, which is very scary!" ”

The platoon commander then asked, "What weapons did they use?" Swords? ”

Yinji Khan shook his head and said, "No, it is a wooden stick, but it can emit fire and a loud sound, and as soon as that sound is made, our warriors will fall to the ground!" ”

The platoon commander took a musket from the soldier next to him and asked, "Is this such a weapon?" ”

Because Yinji Khan had close contact with Russia, he was very clear about the shape of the musket, looked at the musket in the platoon commander's hand and shook his head and said: "It's about the same as the one in your hand, but the weapon in the hand of the white ghost has a rope and a spark on it, and yours doesn't." ”

It turned out to be an arquebus, and the platoon commander nodded and said, "Okay, you three come in with me, and I'll take you to meet our division commander!" ”

Although Jilin and Heilongjiang are provinces, there are no governors and three divisions that should be in provincial-level administrative divisions, because they belong to the border region, and everything is under military control, so it is the Jilin general who is in charge here in Jilin, and the same is true in Heilongjiang.

General Jilin is Zhu Hongsan's old subordinate Duan Fei, Duan Fei was previously stationed in Guangzhou and was responsible for guarding the Dongguan Industrial Zone in Guangzhou, but he was transferred to the north during the Northern Expedition, which was regarded as catching up with the last wave of meritorious service. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, although Duan Fei did not fight many battles, because his qualifications were too old, he was the first batch of teaching regiments to graduate, and he was already the head of the regiment during the Guangzhou period, so Duan Fei was named the Marquis of Jing'an.

Now Duan Fei's position is the general of Jilin under the governor of Northeast China, responsible for tens of thousands of square kilometers of Jilin Province, and holding the power of life and death with a total population of more than 500,000.

Although the Northeast is part of the same territory as Luzon, it has only had a few wars in previous years. After all, the Northeast is the hometown of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there have been several battles in Shanhaiguan and Shenyang. However, after the occupation of Shenyang, there was no war, and the ethnic minorities in the northeast region are different from the Mongolian people in the northwest, and the ethnic minorities in the northeast do not have a complete national concept except for the Jurchens. Even the Daur, Evenki, and Oroqen tribes are the same.

Although these ethnic groups are called one nation, the hatred between the tribes within their nation is greater than that of foreign peoples, and these ethnic groups have not formed a complete national consciousness, so the ethnic minorities in the Northeast have no resistance to the newly arrived Han people at all, anyway, the ethnic minorities in the Northeast have been subjugated and strong in their thousands of years of history, hundreds of years ago they were Mongols, fifty years ago they were Jurchens, and now there is no difference between Han Chinese.

Therefore, although Duan Fei's conditions here in the Northeast are more difficult, he has a good life. But Duan Fei is a soldier, every time he returns to Beijing and sees those colleagues who have made meritorious contributions taking five to six, bragging to each other about how to fight in Nanyang, how to fight with the natives of Yunnan and Guizhou, etc., Duan Fei feels that he has been a soldier for more than 20 years.
