The goal has been set, and the next step is to choose someone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Zhu Changyuan personally went to Sun Moon Island, and without hesitation, he selected a thousand sailor soldiers who had been following him for a long time from his Sun Moon Island, and lined up one by one to begin to transform their bodies.

Each person ate ten basic fighting skill books, and everyone instantly turned into ten thousand enemies.

Of course, during the process, Zhu Changyuan had to pretend to be a ghost, and said to them: "From now on, you are the people I have blessed, you must listen to my words and serve me!" ā€

The soldiers were so excited that they were willing to die for the king at any time and in any place.

Zhu Changyuan left satisfied, and asked Cheng Bujing to take more than ten envoys in charge of diplomacy from Honglu Temple to drive the boat and the 1,000,000 enemies to set off from Riyue Island and sail all the way to Europe.

Of course, the ship brought a lot of people who went to Europe with Kong and Yihai last time.

In the blink of an eye, two months after the New Year, the entire northern land finally ushered in a baptism of spring breeze, and everything recovered.

The landscape trees on both sides of the streets of the capital are also slowly pulling out green shoots, and the smell of green is rippling everywhere in the air.

The king of Siberia, Haug, asked the emperor if he could open the so-called Irkutsk and establish a city.

At the beginning, Zhu Changyuan promised him, once the spring begins, he will order craftsmen to accompany him and go there to help him build a new town, and he can be the king there.

Zhu Changyuan said yes, and summoned Haoge again.

Haoge's complexion was much better than when Zhu Changyuan first saw him. After all, the death of one of the two biggest political enemies and the death of the other is very good news for him.

"Long live Your Majesty!" When Haoge saw Zhu Changyuan, it was like seeing his own relatives, whether it was true or not, anyway, Zhu Changyuan believed that he was real.

"King Xi, please get up!" Zhu Changyuan referred to the King of Siberia as the King of the West, and personally went down to help Haoge up. He said to him: "Aiqing, you have already seen your performance, and I tell you the truth, now is the best time to go to Irkutsk. If it's too late, I'm afraid that the house won't be built well, and winter will come. ā€

"Your Majesty respectfully obeys His Majesty's decree!" Hauge was not stingy with the gift.

Zhu Changyuan gave him a seat, and then admonished. said: "You go over there to build a city, I have thought of the name of the city, in the future, it will not be called Irkutsk, but it will be called Xinsheng, what do you think?" ā€

Hauge shuddered slightly as he listened.

Xinsheng sounds so-so, but the meaning is big, Sheng refers to Shengjing. Xinsheng said that he naturally wanted to open up a city like Shengjing in that bitter cold place.

This is just a superficial text, to go deeper, now Zhu Changyuan has recognized his status as a haoge, thinking that he is the new lord of Shengjing and the boss of the Manchus, as for that little doll Fulin, hehe.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!" Hauge got up from his seat and bowed again in the direction of Zhu Changyuan.

"Okay, you and I don't have to make this big gift!" Zhu Changyuan smiled. Then he clapped his hands, and Cao Huachun next to him went down and took out a square box.

Zhu Changyuan personally opened the square box and put it in front of Haoge, and said, "Look at it!" ā€

Hauge took a look. It turned out to be a large seal. Take out the big seal and look at the inscription on it, it is: Treasure of the King of Siberia.

Seven large characters, carved with small seals. And from the point of view of jade quality, the treasure jade that carved the jade seal should be the Xiuyan River grinding jade he gave to Zhu Changyuan last time.

"When you gave me a piece of Hemo jade, I ordered someone to carve two seals, one for your Siberian king's seal, and the other for my seal." Zhu Changyuan took out a small seal on his body and showed it to Haoge as he spoke.

Hauge was moved to tears when he saw it, the jade seal used by the emperor was much smaller than the seal of the Siberian king.

"The death of a minister is not enough to revenge!" Hauge buckles his head like pounded garlic.

Zhu Changyuan waved his hand. said: "I don't need you to reciprocate, take care of the family." Building a city is a great achievement. Remember, Siberia is a big territory. The bigger your city builds, the better, and I will fill you with the people and develop the forest! ā€

Although Siberia is very large, it is not possible to farm, and the only advantage is to go up to the mountains to hunt and go to the sea to fish. Stretching for 1,300 miles from north to south, Baikal is a large freshwater lake, but technically a small ocean with extremely rich fishing resources.

The fishing techniques of the ancients were backward and could not make enough money from this big lake, but Zhu Changyuan is different, he has the knowledge and skills of modern society, and he can completely change the fishing methods of local fishermen and bring about a vigorous fishery innovation.

"But there is one crucial thing that must be remembered. Four words: turn the people into customs! Zhu Changyuan paced, and said to Haoge: "You go to Xinsheng City, in addition to building a city and a home, you also have to expand the school, and include all the local people in the school to study, especially when the snow closes the mountain in winter, the people have nothing to do, they can go to the school to study, remember, this is the first thing in addition to gaining a firm foothold!" ā€

Then, Zhu Changyuan told him some details and key points, and let Haoge kneel down.

Then, more than 2,000 farmers and craftsmen were dispatched from Riyue Island and Jingshi to the shore of Lake Baikal in the north with Hauge's 100,000 migratory army.

The city is nearly 2,000 kilometers from Jingshi to Xinsheng on the shore of Lake Baikal, and it is a great test for Hauge, who has a team of 100,000 people, not only to cross high mountains, but also to cross the vast and uninhabited Gobi Desert.

Because walking with the common people and walking with only the army are completely different concepts.

With the troops to kill the enemy, it is completely possible to reach 100 kilometers a day, and with the common people to drag their families and mouths, many people also use small carts to push food, and it is good to be able to walk 50 kilometers a day.

At this rate, even if it was the fastest, it would already be forty days before it reached Xinsheng City. This is still the most ideal plan, and it will not be possible to actually walk for forty days.

Hauge had no choice but to divide the troops into two groups, the first group was 30,000 troops and 2,000 peasant craftsmen and craftsmen to advance first, led by him and Ao Bai personally, and the second group was the common people who dragged their families behind, and Sonny was delayed.

Fortunately, several main administrators have mobile phones given by Zhu Changyuan in their hands, and Zhu Changyuan can also see their travel status and walking route in the system at any time, and can help them at any time if they are in trouble, such as replenishing food and fresh water.

In this way, these two mighty teams set off all the way to the north.

Zheng Chenggong led 10,000 sailors to land in northern Taiwan, and then went straight down from north to south, with the full support of the local natives and ordinary people in Taiwan.

The Dutch's eyes were covered, and they didn't find out until Zheng Chenggong's more than 10,000 troops approached the city.

In fact, this is not to blame the Dutch, after all, as an aggressor, the local intelligence is far inferior to the local army, even after Zhu Changyuan occupied Myitkyina in the early stage, he also had a period of experience of being led by the nose with two eyes and a black eye.

What's more, a strange large sea vessel appeared in the waters south of Taiwan in the past two days, which made the Dutch authorities pay close attention and focus almost all their energy on this ship.

They sent a fleet to approach the big ship tentatively, but unfortunately, the cutter suction dredger was mechanically driven, and they couldn't keep up at all, and once they wanted to get closer, they were immediately thrown away by the cutter suction ship, and they couldn't detect the real information of the cutter suction ship.

"Stay put!"

After arriving at the city of Geranza, Zheng Chenggong did not immediately start a siege battle, but stationed in an open space five miles away from the castle, surrounding the entire city of Geranza on all sides, with 2,500 men in each direction.

Because Zheng Chenggong learned from the local people that the artillery at the head of the city of Gelansha was even better than that of the Beijing division, and the price paid for the assault was incalculable, but it was a good choice for the people inside the siege to throw themselves into the net.

After all, there were less than three thousand Dutch in the entire castle.

The Dutch governor Manila was in a hurry and didn't know what to do.

But what made him even more anxious was yet to come.

Originally, the people of the entire Tainan area were obedient to their rule, and they comfortably collected a large amount of silver as a tax every year, and then transported the silver back to their own country, which was very hilarious.

They had the impression that the Taiwanese and even the Han people of the Ming Empire were very honest and easy to enslave.

However, today he found out that he was wrong, not only was there 10,000 troops besieging his beautiful European-style castle, but more and more people came to help him.

On the first day there were only 10,000 troops besieging the city, but on the second day there were 3,000 more people, on the third day there were 10,000 more, and on the fifth day the number of people besieging the whole city of Geranza had exceeded 50,000.

Now, even if Zheng Chenggong withdraws his troops, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Dutch to retreat.

The Governor of Manila's face was gloomy! There were 2,500 Dutch soldiers in the city, and it was a great expense to eat every day. The point is that because Zheng Chenggong's troops came too suddenly, they did not have the slightest preparation, and the food in the city could last for two days at most.

"What should I do?" Manila asked his subordinates.

The subordinate said: "Your Excellency the Governor, our weapons are more powerful than theirs, and if you rush out, there is still a chance of survival!" ā€

Manila's eyes were cloudy, flickered a few times and then went out, and said dejectedly: "If there is still a chance to break through on the first day, there are too many people outside now, even if the weapon is powerful, it is useless, and there is only one way to survive without starvation?" ā€

"What's the solution?" The subordinate asked.

"Surrender!" Manila uttered a word that he himself was ashamed of.

As a governor of one side, his experience can be described as extremely rich, not only conquered Australia, set foot in Africa, but also the women of Annam, slept with the people of Siam, and everywhere he went was majestic, how could he have suffered such grievances for more than ten years.
