With the addition of these leaders, nobles, and servants who were familiar with the surrounding terrain, in two or three days, the Ming army drew a map of the tribal settlements in the Jiangbei region, close to the surrounding areas of the Beishan region.

In fact, in recent times, Li Yuanqing has also been thinking carefully about abandoning these local indigenous settlements, and instead directly favoring the seaside to build new settlements himself.

The so-called 'strike first is strong, then strike suffer'.

Compared with the Western European powers, Lao Maozi's perception of 'maritime' is still quite ...... Quite sluggish.

It was not until Peter the Great and Catherine the Great completely got rid of Sweden, a powerful country in the north, and Poland, a strong enemy, that they opened up the northern outlet to the sea and shifted their goals to the sea.

But this time period is almost 1750, or even after 1770.

By this time, the colonial territory of the whole world had basically been carved up by the Western European powers.

Coupled with the disadvantage of Lao Maozi's 'congenital'......

In terms of the army, Lao Maozi is indeed a natural 'fighting nation', not only tall and strong, but also hard-working, brave and good at fighting, and extremely obedient, with almost all the excellent conditions of a strong army.

But the Navy ~~~, apparently not so simple as the Army.

In terms of the army, soft power and hard power are combined, even if Lao Maozi's weapons and equipment are backward, but with their strong combat genes, they are obviously inferior, and even hard battles that cannot be fought may be forcibly won by them.

In particular, Peter the Great and the wind ~ coquettish ~ Empress Catherine successively conquered the Cossacks in the surrounding areas.

With the addition of these strong fighting nations who are naturally like 'steppe wolves', Lao Maozi has greatly improved his mobility in terms of mobility.

The point is that these Cossacks are a pack of wolfdogs......

Not only can they charge into battle, but they are also the most natural and pollution-free cannon fodder...... No matter how much you die, you won't feel distressed.

For the Moscow Group, this is simply a tiger with wings!

But the Navy is by no means as ...... as the Army It's so 'barbaric' that it can be done.

The navy needs not only strong soft power, but also strong hard power.

The fleet is better, there is money, and it can always buy warships, especially because of the geographical advantages of Europe.

But mature naval commanders and officers, including excellent sailors and soldiers, cannot be bought by any amount of money, and must be accumulated and polished through countless actual battles.

In this regard, Lao Maozi is obviously a lot worse.

Not to mention, although the Ottoman Turkish Empire at this time has declined, 'a skinny camel is bigger than a horse', and the proud sultan will never bow his head easily.

Around the Caspian Sea, how could the caliphs and religious chiefs who had been accustomed to enjoying all kinds of beauties in the Golden Horde give up their interests that had lasted for hundreds of years?

Although the threats of these Muslims do not directly hit the heart of the Moscow clique, they give them headaches and headaches, but they are not too much of a problem.

Coupled with the Crimea, including the Caucasus, the influence of the Golden Horde, the Golden Family, has not been completely erased.

This also means that at this time, it will take at least a hundred years, or even more, for Lao Maozi to really free up their hands and focus their eyes on the vast Siberia and the Far East.

In other words, at this time~~, Li Yuanqing took this step first, at least a hundred years ahead of Lao Maozi!

Moreover~~, this is still a state in which Li Yuanqing is only building a stronghold to defend and does not take the initiative to attack.

However, although Li Yuanqing had already taken the lead at this time, in a short period of time, Li Yuanqing and his sons and sons were obviously unable to continue to advance to the heart of Siberia.

Including the Far East, although it is Li Yuanqing's 'mouth meat', Li Yuanqing still has no way to really eat it at this time.

This makes Li Yuanqing can only endure his temperament, step by step, and slowly figure it out.

In fact, when he was extremely depressed, Li Yuanqing often sighed, if he could have the strength of the Ming Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers would serve their orders, and the soldiers would be single-minded, what the hell could he do with Lao Maozi?

It's a pity.

The harsh reality is in front of us......

If he wants to expand aggressively abroad, Li Yuanqing can only 'clear the snow in front of his door' first, and first put his roots firmly in place, so that he and his sons have no worries, so that they can free up their hands.

Just like at this time, although Li Yuanqing has 50,000 male soldiers, he can only start with these small native tribes around him first, and accumulate them little by little.

Fortunately~, the only thing that makes Li Yuanqing happy is that he and his sons still have enough time.

Now again, why can't you just build a stronghold by the sea?

In general, there are three key elements in the construction of a base.

One is the strategic location.

It is necessary to choose a place that can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and strategically covers an entire area to build this stronghold.

The second point is that the transportation should be convenient.

It is better to have a relatively good bay, so that the fleet can directly arrive and replenish, and the harvest in this stronghold can also be transmitted in time to form the circulation of 'living water' to create value and wealth, rather than relying only on the blood transfusion of the mother body of the Immortal Camp.

After all, a stronghold, to say the least, needs two or three total troops to garrison, which eats and drinks Lazar, people eat and chew horses, plus all aspects of construction affairs, every year, 100,000 taels of silver, that is not necessarily enough.

If it was just one, or three or two strongholds, Li Yuanqing would be able to hold on to it by gritting his teeth.

But what if it's a dozen, dozens of them......

This does not allow Li Yuanqing not to think clearly, under the condition that living water can be formed, living water must be formed.

The third point is to build a base.

If the first two conditions can be determined, then the third point seems to be much simpler. But this is a completely wrong perception.

The first two are just prerequisites, and 'building strongholds' is the real necessity.

Building houses, building bunkers, forts, and watchtowers is indeed very simple in Liaodi, but don't forget, this is the cold north, and it is already about to enter the heart of Siberia.

In Liaodi, looking for water sources, building warehouses, including this series of infrastructure construction, the total strength of the three commanders of the Changsheng Battalion can be completed by themselves.

But at this time, especially here, it is snowing all year round...... If you do it blindly like this, 'crossing the river by feeling the stones', then I don't know how many good sons and daughters will have to give their lives here.

Just like the emperor of Lao Maozi said in his later life, 'Although our territory is large, there is not an inch, it is superfluous!' ’

In the same way, although there are many of his Li Yuanqing's sons at this time, no matter which one of them is, they are all his Li Yuanqing's brothers, how can they leave their good lives in this cold and biting wasteland in vain?

There are native slaves who don't need it, so why let their precious sons waste their lives in vain?

…………

August 15, the night of the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Li Yuanqing held a grand dinner party in Yemu Hewei, and everyone participated in it, eating meat and drinking to their heart's content.

But tomorrow, more than 10,000 of them, new and old, will be divided into more than a dozen units, and they will step into the vast Jiangbei and begin to clear these native tribes.

Although the Chinese people have inherited it since ancient times, they pay attention to the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the family reunion.

But in fact, at this time, in Daming, the Mid-Autumn Festival is far from being as grand as it was in later generations.

In addition to the most important annual festivals, whether it is the dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty or the common people, there are only two most critical festivals in a year, one is the fifteenth day of the first month of the year, also called the Shangyuan Festival.

Another one is July 15, Halloween, which is the night of the Middle Year.

Including later generations, in the northern region, the grandeur of the July 15 and Zhongyuan Festival is far greater than that of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.

Because the mid-year festival is second only to the annual festival, it is necessary to solemnly sacrifice to the ancestors.

At this time, there is a strong military column in the Changsheng Battalion, and the sons and daughters naturally don't attach too much importance to festivals.

However, on August 15, there was wine and meat, and everyone could cheer to their heart's content, and everyone's interest was very high.

In particular, tomorrow, they will embark on a journey to make contributions.

Li Yuanqing's strategy for these native tribes is also painstaking.

These indigenous tribes, the Houjin side has always called them armor people, and their entire society is famous, and it is not much stronger than the primitive society.

But they also have a unique advantage, the harsh natural environment, make them brave and good at war, and they are the best slaves to conquer cities.

In addition to their weapons and equipment, they are really a little too backward......

Historically, in the journey of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, these armored people did not make less contributions.

Of course, the Han women they captured also had a very positive impact on their lineage, including in all aspects of their lives.

For these armored people, it is too harsh, obviously not beautiful, but too merciful, and these tribes who still have some beast-like temperament are obviously not so easy to subdue.

Li Yuanqing's final plan is to be supplemented by strategy and deterrence.

If they are willing to be obedient and willing to surrender, everything is easy to say, but if they are unwilling to surrender and have to seek death, then ~, you can't blame him Li Yuanqing for being ruthless.

As for the next means of maintaining or ruling these indigenous tribes, Li Yuanqing's method is also very simple.

That's the nominal trend.

All these indigenous tribal leaders, if they want to get the legitimacy of the inheritance, they must first get his 'reward' from Li Yuanqing.

After all, Li Yuanqing was just a warlord in one place at this time, and if he used 'canonization', he would obviously covet it.

But this did not prevent Li Yuanqing from putting on such a strong measure.

The second point is that they must proton and pay tribute!

Moreover, it is not just a pledge of one son, but at least two-thirds of their sons, daughters.

Hand over more than 30% of their harvest.

Of course, Li Yuanqing will not treat them badly for the time being, as long as they are willing to be obedient, Li Yuanqing will also give them the equivalent value of property or food for the thirty percent harvest.

As for the third point, Li Yuanqing is going to garrison troops around their tribe.

However, Li Yuanqing's overall thinking is not too mature, and the specific situation still has to wait until the specific results are obtained, and then plan in detail.

The blazing bonfire was burning, and the entire Ming army camp was full of laughter and laughter, and the cold wind seemed to be squeezed aside.

Chen Zhong's spirit is also extremely inspired.

After holding back at sea for a few months, and on Yemu Hewei's side for more than half a month, Chen Zhong couldn't sit still for a long time.

After drinking a few glasses of wine with Li Yuanqing, he smiled and said his thoughts, "Yuanqing, Yemu Hewei is here, it's good to have you come to the town in person." This time, my brother wants to go to the depths of the Northland to take a look at the situation, and by the way, take the unsuccessful bunnies of the military academy. Hey. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile.

He guessed Chen Zhong's 'flower intestines'.

Originally, Li Yuanqing wanted Chen Zhong to sit here, and he personally went to the front line to investigate the situation.

However, since Chen Zhong brought it up first, Li Yuanqing naturally had to satisfy his careful thoughts, and said with a smile: "Big brother, this matter is okay." However, I also have a few requests. ”

"Request?"

Chen Zhongdeng looked at Li Yuanqing unhappily.

But Li Yuanqing had already relented, and Chen Zhongdeng also reacted, and couldn't help but laugh: "Say it." Yuanqing. What are the requirements? Brother promises to deal with Lisuo! ”
