Chapter 372: Declaring the Great Power of the Far East
Qiang Quansheng stood outside the town, looking coldly at the burning town. Mountain regiments and independent armies stood outside the town in a neat queue. Listening to the miserable wails in the town, the warriors of the mountain regiment were expressionless, while the eyes of the samurai of the Japanese daredevils were full of excitement.
After the battle, Qiang Quansheng ordered the troops to carefully inspect the battlefield, until they found no fish that had slipped through the net, and then simply gathered it away, leaving only the horses, food, and wagons, and the rest of the things were burned. The troops did not stop long and continued to advance westward.
From here, the villages of the Tartars spread all over the mountains and forests, and the battles of the three-way westward detachment also increased. These three attack routes were gradually explored by the special combat team and the mountain regiment over a period of several years, and they were all the most densely populated areas of Tatar villages and towns.
Qiao Haipeng and Gao Qiang and Qiang Quansheng completely dispersed the troops, and the mountain regiments were sprinkled out as companies, each company was equipped with more than ten indigenous militia battalions, and attacked and advanced all the way to the west. The leaders of each detachment are armed with the independent daredevil's brigade and the troops directly under the detachment, as a reserve, ready to support the mountain companies at any time.
The originally peaceful mountain suddenly blew a bloody wind, and where the three westward detachments of the Eastern Far East Theater passed, the Tartar village of Tunbao was attacked by the fierce indigenous militia, killing no chickens and dogs, and then burned to the ground.
The offensive in the Far East was extremely fierce, and many villages and towns were uprooted, and not a single person escaped, even if there were fish caught in the net, they all fled into the surrounding mountains, and when they sent the news, it was only a few days later. By that time, the waterway troops of the Eastern Theater had already advanced to Fangzhou City and landed in Fangzhou City, and launched an attack on Shenyang.
Ten days later, the Western Military District of Mudanjiang Town also began to operate, and the vanguard was the 1st Garrison Brigade, which had already begun to board the ship. They will take more than 200 river barges along the Huerha River all the way north. The remaining two garrison brigades set off by boat, and finally a large quantity of supplies and fifty musket militia companies.
The dense flotilla of inland barges almost filled the Huerha River. Gao Jianguo and the Eastern Theater Command followed the second batch of main convoys and kept in touch with the vanguard at any time.
The Huerha River joins the Songhua River from Hanliduo Station, which is the territory of a large tribal alliance in the outer northeast and the Huerha Department. In the area where the two rivers meet, the land is fertile, rich in water and grass, and is full of large and small tribes of the Huerha tribe.
The Hohan tribe is a tribe of several thousand people who occupy the estuary area where the two rivers meet. Last year a caravan came to the tribe in a large smoky ship and made a deal with them. Originally, Huo Hanbu saw several large board ships full of supplies in the caravan, and had the intention of plundering, but later inquired and learned that this was the fleet of the Far East.
Upon learning of this news, Huo Hanbu hurriedly put away his thoughts of robbery and turned to trading with the caravan in a proper manner. The Far East Company is the largest tribe in the Outer Northeast, and it has been famous for its murder over the years, and even the Jianzhou Department of the Old Han King in the west has been defeated in their hands.
It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of people from the Far East, and more than 10,000 miles of wasteland have been cultivated. Giant boats, monsters, and iron birds that lay fire eggs. As long as they provoke them, the tribes within a radius of hundreds of miles will be slaughtered by them, and it is really a river of blood and chickens and dogs. Even those 10,000-strong tribes in the Huerha tribe paid tribute to the Far East Company every year, and they did not dare to neglect it in the slightest.
Therefore, they were extremely respectful of the Far Eastern caravans, and let the Far Eastern caravans establish a foothold at a place at the mouth of the river. The Far Eastern caravans also reciprocated, establishing a trading post here, bringing a lot of livelihood to the Hohan tribe, and also handing over several commodities to their tribal agents.
So the Far Eastern tribe stayed here, built a simple dock, dozens of wooden houses, and there were no walls, just a fence. They also hired a large number of young men from the Hohan Department and opened a nearby mine rich in blackstone.
Now the young people of several surrounding tribes are digging black stones in the mines for the Far East, and working there not only for lunch, but also for a month, they can also get a few bags of snow-white sand and salt in the Far East. There are now thousands of indigenous tribes working there.
Iltu was the head of the Hohan tribe, and he had a good time for more than a year. Since the Far Eastern caravans built a village fort next to the tribe, the tribe has received a lot of benefits. Even the leaders of the big tribes around him were polite when they saw him now.
Today he was rolling the sheets with a tribal "beauty" in the house, and was in the mood for it, when he saw a native running in in a panic, and despite the fact that the two people in the house were naked, he entered the house and shouted: "In the river...... There were a lot of boats in the river, all big board boats......"
This made Iletu angry, and he was so frightened by this guy that he almost didn't let him wilt. He didn't even have any clothes on, and he rushed up and kicked the native in the head.
He scolded: "What are you panicking about, haven't you seen the big board ships of the Far East?" I'll kill you......"
As soon as he said this, he heard a commotion from the tribe. Iltu glared at the native, put on a leather robe, and walked out of the room. Outside, the riverbank was full of tribesmen, all standing on the riverbank and watching.
Iltu took the whip and "crackled" it, and then squeezed into the shore. He looked up at the river, and saw the big board boats with no end in sight, one after the other, slowly passing through the mouth of the river next to their tribe, turning towards the Songhua River, and heading west.
The large board boat emitted clusters of smoke columns and made a loud roar, and the entire surface of the river was filled with thick black smoke. The long flotilla was full of warriors with loaded guns, wearing iron hats and armor, and wearing a formidable iron mask on their faces. One by one, the warriors sat quietly on the big boardboat, although they were still far away, but there was still a chilling murderous aura rushing towards them.
Iltu already knew who they were, this is the army of the Far East. Who are they going to fight? Don't...... Thinking of this, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, he hurriedly beckoned the warriors of several tribes and shouted, "Hurry up...... Prepare some dried meat and fish, as well as the fresh fish that I have caught here in the morning, and send them to the Far Eastern caravan. ”
At the station of the Far Eastern caravan, He Huan was leading people to cheer loudly on the dock, waving vigorously at the soldiers on the river barge. The soldiers who were originally quiet on the river barge also stood up, took off their helmets, and kept waving in response.
He Huan was originally the deputy director of the Ethnic Affairs Department of the company's mission and education department, this time he personally led several caravans, established several footholds along the Songhua River, and also established several temporary docks on both sides of the Songhua River, and found several coal mines nearby.
Far Eastern Company's huge fleet of inland barges turned from the Huerha River into the Songhua River, and the banks of the river were full of natives from nearby tribes along the way. Many of the tribesmen who were far away from here also came to see the spectacular sight of hundreds of boats competing for the river and covering the entire surface of the river.
When had they ever seen such a formation, the natives rowed the little canoe made of birch trees on the river, which seemed very small compared to the inland barges in the Far East. What's more, hundreds or thousands of inland river barges continue to roll over the Songhua River.
Even the leaders of several large tribes in the Huerha tribe brought a large amount of food and respectfully sent it to the foothold of several Far Eastern merchant groups along the coast to show their respect for the Far East. That means that our tribe is from the Far East, and the villagers have come to support the army.
They were really scared, and this shocking scene made all the tribal leaders feel cold. The big tribes in the Outer Northeast generally choose places with abundant water and grass and fertile land to live along the river, and now seeing the armed parade of the Far East fleet, they know that no matter how powerful the tribe encounters the Far East, it will also be the end of annihilation.
The leaders of these tribes completely put down their dignity, and deliberately rushed over to get close, and almost fell to the ground.
He Huan saw that the leaders of more than a dozen nearby tribes had personally rushed to the Far Eastern Merchant Group, and also brought a large amount of food and supplies, and he felt that this was an opportunity. So he used the radio to contact Gao Jianguo.
Gao Jianguo originally didn't want to deal with these indigenous tribes, but what He Huan said made sense, isn't it time for Liwei to declare the power of the Far East? Gao Jianguo ordered his barge team to stop at the dock of the Far East Merchant Group of the Huohan Ministry.
He stepped off the barge and came to the outside of the Far Eastern Merchant Group's foothold, and the leaders of more than a dozen tribes saw Gao Jianguo and a dozen tall warriors coming over, and hurriedly ran up and knelt on the ground, burying their heads deep in the ground.
When Gao Jianguo saw it, he was immediately happy in his heart, it seems that these guys are really scared. But Gao Jianguo didn't mean to let them get up, but sat on a chair in front of them very pretendedly. He just pretended to be forced, and since he wanted to pretend to be forced, he had to pretend to be a full set.
"We at Far East will never forget your support, and I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of Far East. It is also hoped that in the future, the various ministries of Huerha and our Far East will establish a diplomatic relationship of mutual benefit, equal coexistence and win-win cooperation, work together for the prosperity and progress of the Outer Northeast, and jointly build a partnership of mutual trust, inclusiveness, cooperation and win-win results for the benefit of the people of all ethnic groups in the Outer Northeast. ”
A group of tribal leaders kneeling on the ground, listening to the translation of the indigenous staff, countless grass and mud horses galloped past in their hearts. Your sister's equal coexistence, your sister's win-win cooperation, you sit specially, everyone just kneels like this, what kind of fucking family is equal coexistence. R1152
