A month later, on the east bank of the confluence of the Ussuri River, a rectangular mixed civil structure, occupying a circle of one mile, and a city thirty feet high, was raised on the site of the later Russian city of Boli. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Outside the north gate of the city, the Phoenix Guard General and the Heishui Governor's Mansion Cheng Boxian reviewed the three armies and swore on the general platform.

This expedition to the county department 1,200 miles away, with Cheng Boxian as the main commander, and Duan Huaijian, the general of the Zhenyu army who arrived shortly after, was the deputy, and led 2,000 horses down the black water.

It lasted for one month, and Cheng Boheng urged the Ministry of Thinking and Recruitment to build a small city with a radius of 90 zhang (where the Russian Komsomolsk is located) in his village.

When Cheng Boxian led the army to the Sizhao Department, his subordinate Meng'an Hu Qunlu was obedient, and led all the clansmen to welcome the arrival of the army outside the city, prepared hot food to warmly entertain the Tang army soldiers and soldiers, and asked for the city to be named.

"The people under the jurisdiction of the city are now all members of the Sizhao Department, so let's name it Sizhao City!"

"Thank you General for the name, the general's love for my Recruiting Department is unforgettable, please accept the worship of all my subordinates." Hu Qunlu licked his smiling face and flattered Cheng Bo in the broken Chinese he had learned with great effort in January, and led all the clansmen to kneel in front of Cheng Boxian and bowed.

The shocking scene of thousands of people kneeling at the same time made the Tang army soldiers stunned for a while, although it was only their general Cheng Boxian who knelt, but they could stand behind the general, which was equivalent to receiving the general's light and receiving the gift of the Si Zhao Department.

Cheng Bozheng smiled: "Big brother is not shallow this time!" ”

"It's not so much a big gift, it's better to say that Hu Qunlu is too thick-skinned." Cheng Boli said with disdain on his face.

Cheng Boxian, who received this gift, was full of red light, and he couldn't stop laughing, His Royal Highness had not enjoyed the scene of thousands of people kneeling and bowing, but he enjoyed it first, and he was extremely proud.

Cheng Boxian smiled and waved his hand proudly: "Everyone, please get up, since you are my people of the Tang Dynasty, you will be the same family from now on." ”

"Thank you for your grace." Hu Qunlu led the crowd to bow.

"It's just that this expedition to the county department, our army is not familiar with the terrain along the way, and we don't know much about the various residences of the county department, and Hu Meng'an needs to lead the people to lead the way for our army."

When Hu Qunlu heard this, he knew in his heart the meaning of Cheng Bo's words, and immediately expressed his loyalty: "General, please rest assured, our department is adjacent to the county department, and we know the hunting and settlement sites of our department well, and we will dedicate all our efforts to the general's triumphant return from exterminating these Tartars." ”

"I am very pleased that you have such sincerity, and when the army triumphs, I will ask for credit for you in front of Your Highness."

Cheng Boxian smiled and patted Hu Qunlu on the shoulder to show encouragement, Hu Qunlu was grateful and kowtowed again to thank him, and his servile and humble appearance made the Tang Army generals on the side chill. Many people lowered their voices and sneered at Hu Qunlu's words and deeds, calling him a slave.

After resting in Sizhao City for two days, the conquest army was set out, and Hu Qunlu led his headquarters of 300 Eryun to lead the way for the army and went straight to the county department.

Along the way, Cheng Boli, Cui Yi and other generals were full of vigilance against Hu Qunlu's flattery and flattery, worried that he would pretend to be submissive on the surface, and behind his back, he would unite with Junli and other Heishui Jin Ya tribes to ambush the Tang army.

Fortunately, the army did not happen until the village of Junlibu, and Cheng Boli, Cui Yi and other generals were worried.

When the county was shocked when he heard the news that the Tang army was approaching the village, he was shocked. He is half a month away from the Heishui Department area occupied by the Tang Army, and there is also the Sizhao Department in the middle to block it, how could the Tang Army suddenly kill without any news?

The county department Meng'an hastily assembled the headquarters to fight more than 1,600 young and strong men and women, relying on the village to fight.

Cheng Boxian sat in the command of the Chinese army, and Cui Yi, the general of the Phoenix Guard, led the Phoenix Guard and the Zhenyu Army to launch a fierce attack on the villages of the county Libu.

In order to show his loyalty, Hu Qunlu invited himself to lead his headquarters to charge with the army. It surprised Cheng Boli, Cui Yi and others, who had always doubted the reliability of their loyalty.

The appearance of Hu Qunlu and the Si Zhao Department made the county Li Department fierce and angry, and it turned out that the Tang army's lifeless attack was actually caused by this thief taking refuge in the Tang army to lead the way.

In order to prove that he was truly surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, Hu Qunlu led his subordinates to rush to the forefront when the army launched an attack, and broke into the village to kill the bravest.

Cui Yi, who was in command, was surprised, and said in his heart that he had the heart of a villain in the belly of a gentleman?

……

On the first day of the battle, the Tang army paid more than 70 casualties to capture the village of the county Libu, and the county Libu Meng'an was beheaded by Cheng Bozheng, except for a few people from the county who escaped, most of them were annihilated.

More than 50 people of the North Road Expedition who were rescued from the village of Junlibu excitedly hugged the Tang Army soldiers they saw and wept. The sturdy body before departure was as skinny as wood at this time, and the tattered clothes were mixed with tattered animal skins and wore on the body, which was worse than the beggars in the Central Plains.

As the leader of the mapping team of the North Road Expedition, Zhang Xiaoyun sighed that his robe had long been worn out, and some weeds and animal skins were wrapped in the robe to keep warm. When I saw Cheng Boxian, because of the cold and hunger, my hands kept shaking and taking it out of my clothes, and the topography map of the mountains and rivers along the way drawn by this expedition also had latitude marks and estimated longitudes. He also took out a notebook that recorded the population, customs, and other conditions of the tribes he passed through.

After Long Zhi, the leader of the North Road expedition, was rescued, his cheeks full of vicissitudes were happy and melancholy, and only fifty-three people of more than one hundred people survived in the end. Especially after learning about the achievements of the other two expeditions, he was even more remorseful, and exclaimed: "I regret not being ...... at the beginning"

"I said Ryuji, there are far fewer people who survived the expedition on the right side than you, what are you not sad about." Cheng Bozheng patted Long Zhi's shoulder, biting the cake in his hand and didn't care.

Long Zhi glanced at Cheng Bozheng and said sadly: "How can the two be the same?" ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Cheng Bozheng, who was stunned, and held back a sentence for a long time: "It's all heavy losses, how can it not be the same?" ”

……

In view of the fact that the place where the county tribe lives is located in the area of the mouth of the black water, it is strategically important, and it is the place that His Royal Highness must occupy after the order to eradicate the county department, and it is also a link to control the entire black water basin.

Cheng Boxian decided to build a small city here to guard the troops, and after investigation, he built a town and county town along the river plain under the mountains on the north bank of the Heishui estuary sixty miles away, and sent his fourth brother Cheng Bozheng to lead 500 troops to defend the town.

After more than ten days, under the leadership of Hu Qunlu, the Tang army successively exterminated several villages in the mountains of the county and killed more than 2,000 of its subordinates.

Hu Qunlu estimated that even if there were still people from the county who escaped, there would not be more than five hundred, and there would be no threat at all.

Cheng Boxian decided to move back to Boli City, and there will be no war against the outside world for a long time in the future, and the heavy responsibility of the Heishui Governor's Mansion will be placed on the resettlement of the families of the transferred town captives and the spring ploughing.

Cheng Boxian, who returned to Boli City, inspected the area under his jurisdiction and found that Boli City was more than 800 miles away from Meidong County, the nearest prefecture of Meituo Lake, and there was no city or army to defend along the way, which was extremely unfavorable for the defense of the Heishui people in the mountains and mountains. He asked King Yan to build a city in the middle of the road between Boli and Meidong County in the original Yuexi Province and send troops to settle for reclamation.

Li Yu received Cheng Boxian's performance, and after thinking about it, he agreed, and personally gave the name to conquer the city (that is, where the city of Luchegorsk, Russia is located).

Since then, the Heishui Governor's Office has jurisdiction over four cities, and it is planned to place four counties, with the city as the county's life.
