Although he knew that Mo Zheng's origin was not clean, Yan Ming still used him perfectly. Regardless of whether he is a member of the Demon Gate or not, his craftsmanship will never be fake.

Ever since Da Lao Chen and the others came, Mo Zheng had been mixed up with Da Lao Chen and the others, studying and waiting until the beginning of spring to find a place to re-establish a blacksmith camp.

Winter is not good.

Fortunately, when these 10,000 people came, they had supplies brought from the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, eating this winter is a problem.

Yan Ming took the children to build snowmen and have snowball fights in the winter after studying.

Han Yan began winter training, picking out some strong men and bringing them to the grassland and even the nearby valley for training.

In their free time training, these guys all became hunters. A large number of mountain delicacies and game are brought back from hunting every day.

At this time, the Northeast was still an undeveloped wasteland.

The so-called rod deer scoop fish, there is really no shortage of all kinds of mountain delicacies.

On this day, Yan Ming was reading with the children.

The people led by Han Yan suddenly ran back, saying that they had found a big lake in the north, the size of the ocean.

"Lake?" According to the analysis of the current geographical location, this should be the eastern part of Inner Mongolia in the future, and it should be Hulunbuir Lake.

It's just that the lake is not called this name yet, and he doesn't know what it is.

If it is really Hulunbuir Lake, then to the east, hundreds of kilometers, you can enter the later Heilongjiang territory.

There is a place for Yan Ming to develop.

"Let's go and see the big lake." Yan Ming said.

It was already winter when they arrived, and although they had heard of a large lake in the north, they had never seen it.

By this time, winter was already deep, and the lake was frozen, as if a large piece of crystal was embedded in the earth.

Seeing this big lake, Yan Ming smiled: "Why are there fish to eat this time!" ”

Han Yan and the others are all soldiers in the Central Plains, and they don't know much about the methods of fishing in winter.

But Xianbei and Dou Xingtuo all know that as long as there is an ice piercing that can chisel through the ice, a large number of fish can be caught.

"Let Da Lao Chen and them make some simple ice clothes first, and we won't have to worry about running out of fish to eat this winter." Yan Ming was very happy, although he didn't like fish very much. But Yan Poyu and Yan Yunzhong liked it very much.

Winter, for the ancients, was tantamount to a natural disaster. Especially in the winter in the north, people freeze to death every year.

The ice piercing is made, and it is an iron awl with a handle, but the model of this awl is relatively large.

It is cold and snowy, and it is inconvenient for horses to walk.

Yan Ming let people build an ice climbing plow.

In fact, it is very simple, that is, to set a wooden frame, inlaid with wooden boards on the top, and pour water on the bottom, layer by layer, layer by layer of frozen ice.

Once the ice is thick, you can glide over the snow.

The hardest part is training those dogs that pull the climbing plow.

Originally, it was not a dog breed that Anfen pulled the plow, but under the whips of the sergeants, those dogs finally did the work of pulling the plow.

Yan Ming led the plough climbing brigade and set off towards Hulunbuir Lake.

On the ice, Han Yan watched Yan Ming dig out a small ice cave with the ice.

As the ice cave was opened, the water inside was steaming hot.

Because of the frozen water, there is an extreme lack of oxygen. With this kind of chiseled place, the fish naturally come over to breathe.

Yan Ming asked people to use the net bag that had been prepared a long time ago, and when they copied it inside, they were all kinds of fish.

The moment the fish came up, they were still alive. But the next moment, he was poured on the ice, and in a few moments, he was frozen into hard fishing sticks.

When the crowd saw that this method really caught the fish, they cheered.

Some of them are diligent and have already begun to chisel ice fishing.

Yan Ming picked up the small fish and threw them to the dogs who were pulling the plow.

At this time, the dog still eats. Unlike later generations, dogs can wear clothes and call their sons more expensive than their ancestors.

The dog, who is used to eating feces and eating, eats a bite of fish, and the tail wagging is called a happy one.

As you can imagine, the next time you let these dogs come over to fish, they will definitely have a little more energy to pull the plow.

Fish, plenty of beaten back.

But there is also a method of making fish.

Yan Ming doesn't like stewed fish, but he likes grilled fish. Under the inspiration of Yan Ming, all of them became gourmets and cooks.

The old and young of the Hu family were even more clever to dry the fish, saying that they liked the fishy smell of the fish after eating the dried rice.

This unexplored place is full of treasures.

In the grasslands and mountains, there are all kinds of medicinal herbs.

Some people have to rush to pick in the winter. Yan Ming didn't let it.

If these herbs hurt their roots, they won't grow again next year.

In the blink of an eye, it's already time for the New Year.

Who is not allowed to eat dumplings during the New Year.

However, at this time, there are no dumplings yet.

Yan Ming asked Dou Xingtuo to take people to the Buyeo people to exchange fish for some New Year's goods and come back.

Dou Xingtuo happily took the fish away, but he was scarred and came back empty-handed, and he also lost a few men and horses with him.

When Yan Ming saw his appearance, he asked why.

Dou Xingtuo said angrily that he was attacked by a group of people in Buyeo. The gang claimed to be the red-clothed thieves. It turned out to be Chinese.

Dou Xingtuo communicated with them in Chinese, and the other party felt that everyone spoke Chinese, which was regarded as an open side, and only robbed things and did not take the initiative to kill.

But how can a man like Dou Xingtuo watch them grab things and not fight back?

When he stepped forward to make a move, a young man appeared in the other party's red-clothed thief team, and the long sword in his hand was like a splash of wind, and he knocked down Dou Xingtuo in a few clicks.

The young man said that he would let the leader of the Touman tribe come and collect the money with money.

When Yan Ming heard this, he knew that the people and horses lost by Dou Xingtuo did not die, but were hijacked by others.

"Got on our heads? This red-clothed thief really doesn't know how thick the sky is. Han Yan snorted coldly and said, "I took two thousand people over and wiped out this group of bandits." Douxingtuo, how many people are there. ”

"Not much, it looks like a few hundred people, but everyone is very skilled." Dou Xingtuo said.

"It's just a thief." The soldiers under Han Yan were all good men trained by him.

"It's better to contact this matter first, and try not to use force if you can." Yan Ming said.

After all, they had just settled here, and the surrounding Wuhuan and Buyeo didn't know that Xianbei already had 10,000 living forces of the Han here.

If the troops were rushed out, it would not only attract the attention of Wuhuan and Buyeo, but also perhaps arouse the vigilance of the Huns.

Fortunately, the Han and Xiongnu are now conquests, and they no longer have the heart to take care of this side.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Ming decided to gain a firm foothold here first.

To gain a foothold, there must be land and population.

Although the people of the two tribes of Buyeo and Wuhuan are foreigners, they have been influenced by the Qin and Han cultures for hundreds of years, and they are linguistically compatible.

You can use this group of red-clothed thieves to learn about the situation of the Buyeo people.
