The battle was soon over. Looking at the Russians who fled in the wilderness, Zhu Pingshan smiled very happily. However, it is a big scold to the Russians for leaving five wounded soldiers on the battlefield and running away by themselves. Because it required them to bandage the people and then send them back to the other side of the Dolin River.

One of them was wounded in the battle, but fortunately they captured two Russian horses, and they also collected eight natives, six men and two women. Then there were four rifles and two cavalry knives seized.

Zhu Pingshan was very satisfied with the results. It's just that when they set off again, after a company of three Russian wounded soldiers died, Zhu Pingshan and Ge Yang looked at each other, and this time the matter seemed to be a big deal.

At this time, Sakhalin City was full of joy after a good harvest. With the harvest, the two-year-old town has completely escaped its history of relying on foreign aid for food. In another month, Sakhalin will enter winter. The laborers of the Gulf of Aston will be withdrawn, and the warships will be withdrawn, and the bitter cold of winter is the worst enemy of a living entity on Sakhalin.

Sakhalin City can be proud of the fact that even if there are no supplies this year, only relying on the town's crop harvest for a year, the rations of the people in Sakhalin City and the troops left behind in Yating Bay can be satisfied.

Sakhalin City, which is entirely a horse farming, has much more cultivated area per inhabitant than the interior of the country. Although the grain output per unit area is also less than that of intensive cultivation in the hinterland, the area base here is large, and the harvest of a few hundred people can fully feed four or five thousand people.

Early winter is coming soon, and winter here is a month or two earlier than in the Central Plains. The next two of the busiest seasons of the year are bound to be in Atinge Bay. It's like the tide of spring travel in the original time and space.

A large amount of supplies will be sent to the Atrium Bay Naval Base and Sakhalin City. Therefore, the expansion plan of Sakhalin City is still not carried out in the slightest change from the early plan. About 200 people will be divided from the city and go to Datu Lake. Based on a transshipment station that already existed there, it was expanded into a settlement. It is also good to make the connection between Sakhalin City and Yating Bay closer.

There are 16,000 lakes on Sakhalin. A few of these lakes are close to Sakhalin. Formerly known as Lake Tunaicha, Lake Datu is the largest lake in the southern part of Sakhalin and is surrounded by tranquility. Nearby is Lake Iji, which is called Lake Icho by the Japanese. It is separated from the sea by a narrow strip of land.

Early in the morning, two 100-ton boats docked at the Datu Lake pier. Boxes of cargo were loaded into the cabin, and the wind and waves on the lake were a little rough, so the ship was a little bumpy, but this could not stop the advance of the convoy.

There was a drizzle in the sky, and a petrel fluttered its wings in the wind and rain, flying steadily in the direction of the wind. Two flat-bottomed boats swayed with the waves.

Hong Wenbin hurriedly stabilized his figure, his face was a little pale, this was a mild seasickness. In fact, his condition is not bad. Han Fei on the side was a pure landlubber, and he was seasick.

When he came to Sakhalin, Han Fei vomited all the way on the boat, and now he can only lie in the hammock and gasp for breath**.

There were more than a dozen people who went all the way to the settlement of Datu Lake with Hong Wenbin and Han Fei, and they were divided into two boats, all of them were good members of the Yating Bay labor team, and there were also a few sailors on board.

Finally, a few more people came down from the boat, and it was the Marine Corps soldiers who pressed the boat.

The steam started, and the boat slowly left the dock.

The waves on the lake gradually increased. The two ships moved helplessly through the waves, the icy rain hitting the cabins, on the tarpaulin raincoats, on everyone's faces. Blurred everyone's vision. The sea and sky were gray, and the sight was worse than when it was loaded, and only the occasional haiyan cry made people feel refreshed.

Two hours later. The boat reached its destination, the northern end of Lake Datu. The water here is much calmer. There are only some slight ups and downs. Hong Wenbin looked around, in a confused rain and fog. You can only faintly see the lush forest ahead and on both sides.

In the water, a wooden trestle extends twenty meters into the lake. The captain of the ship, wearing a raincoat, stood at the bow of the ship and shouted, "Everyone get ready, ready to land." ”

Not far away, the dock warehouse by the lake is clearly visible. The dock warehouse, which already has a little time imprint, can be 'old' than the settlement behind it. Together with Atrium, it witnessed the growth of Sakhalin City.

In the rain, the settlement here appears very quiet. There was no indication that there were already two or three hundred people gathered here. Only when the whistle sounds, and a large number of figures in the settlement run to the lake in a horse-drawn carriage, can you feel the popularity.

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and transport things into the warehouse, and act quickly!"

The commander of the Datuhu settlement is a second lieutenant, and if you include the squad of soldiers who arrived today, there will be 50 soldiers in the Datuhu stronghold.

In the beginning, the waterway was opened to transport various construction and daily necessities to Sakhalin City, but now it provides the construction of the Datu Lake settlement as cheaply as possible.

The decks of the two ships became noisy, and the crew hoisted bags of supplies from the deck to the dock, and the horse-drawn wagons loaded with supplies headed for the warehouse. Both ships were quickly unloaded.

Han Fei, who felt that his body had recovered a little, went ashore with his weak legs. He really had a certain sense of fear for the boat, and he couldn't wait to put his feet on the solid ground.

The rain stopped in the afternoon.

The laborers, civilians, and soldiers of the settlements were immediately engaged in the work of the neighborhood under the command of the second lieutenant.

A month, they only have a month. They are going to build the settlement in this time. When winter arrives, the ground here will be as hard as pig iron.

After a week of fighting, when another batch of supplies was delivered to Datu Lake, the original landing site had a completely new look. There were 50 more new mud houses, which were sprinkled with lime powder and disinfected. Thanks to the hard work of everyone, as of yesterday, an area of about 500 acres of land has been preliminarily cleared, mainly to clear out the miscellaneous bushes on the land.

There was also a wooden fence on the perimeter, which was required by Sakhalin. In the future, when winter comes, it will only be necessary to pour cold water on these fences to form a strong protective wall.

Many people and soldiers here don't know that with the 'bloody conflict' caused by Zhu Pingshan, the atmosphere between China and Russia in the Duolinhe generation has suddenly become tense a lot, as if it is about to break out.

Although the chances of a fight in the end are slim.

The initial plan for the settlement of Lake Datu was to have 1,000 inhabitants. Just like when Sakhalin was founded, the number of inhabitants was directly set at 5,000. So until the harsh winter came, it was constantly busy and busy.

"Sakhalin's current grain production is enough to support at least 5,000 people. Moreover, the fishery resources here are abundant, and the mashed potatoes accompanied by sweet potato rice and a pickled fish are much better than the days when you don't see two meat meals a year in the mainland.

It is rich in forests, with countless sables, silver squirrels, ferrets, foxes, otters, brown bears, polar deer, roe deer, hares and squirrels, whose fur is valuable.

And there is also such an abundance of coal mine support, open-pit coal mines, with a large amount of anthracite. As long as there are people, Sakhalin will immediately generate a lot of wealth.

It is not right for the state to look only at the strategic significance of Sakhalin. ”

When the breath of winter came, the commander of the defenders of Sakhalin, an officer with the rank of major, came to the Yating Bay Naval Base and said this to Deng Shichang, who was about to lead the fleet back home.

Unlike the First Department of the Navy, which focused on the construction of naval bases, the major was more looking forward to the development of Sakhalin City. Although he was born in the Marine Corps, he is also considered a Navy department. But the major, who was already over thirty years old, had to plan for his future.

If he proposes to stay in Sakhalin after he is discharged from the army, then no one here can compete for the position of administrator of the Sakhalin Development Zone. If people do not do it for themselves, they will be destroyed by heaven and earth. What's more, Sakhalin really has great value!

In October, the entire northern country has been completely engulfed by the cold winter. When the troops arrived in Lhasa, Liu Shengzao had time to send a letter to the Tibetan troops, and the heavy snow cut off the relationship between the two sides.

This year, the princes and nobles on the Inner Mongolia grassland have experienced the most painful clarity in hundreds of years. How many families with a long tradition disappeared into the Mongolian steppe, and fourteen traitors stole the rights of the entire steppe. Even though their rights belong to Beijing, compared to those families who have disappeared, these people's 'knowledge of current affairs' is too valuable.

Daqin is going through another year, and every year that passes, the foundation of Daqin will be deeper on the land of China.

Countless grassroots officials are like dense tentacles, like stars in the sky, reaching into the grassroots level of the entire country.

The number of fields registered by the tax department is not the same as that of the previous Qing Dynasty, and the difference between the two figures is too great, and the latter is only just over one-third of the former. In the late Qing Dynasty, the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was eroded too much by the gentry class.

Industry and commerce are in initial prominence. The commercial tax and stamp duty on the territory of Liangguang, Fujian, and Jiangnan, four and a half provinces, have exceeded half of the national agricultural tax. Although now the national agricultural tax is not confiscated.

Salt taxes, customs, and industrial profits and losses, all taken into account, the tax amount in the first three quarters of the fourth year of the New Qin Dynasty had already exceeded that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the first year of Guangxu. However, the fiscal deficit in the first three quarters has not decreased at all, reaching nearly 18 billion yuan. Liu Xian really felt that the gold mountains and silver seas in his wallet were changing towards Jinqiu and Silver Lake. Whether such a drastic fiscal deficit can support the complete completion of the first five-year plan, Liu Xian is already beating the drum in his heart.

The real estate in the hands of the imperial court was declining dramatically. Liu Xian has been browsing the knowledge of national debt recently.

Thanks to the downline of the previous military intelligence service in Japan, the actions of the Ministry of Finance and Huaxia Bank in Japan were relatively smooth, and it can be seen before and after the end of the year.

The chances of success are very high, because the Japanese government in Tokyo is not aware of it at all.

Now both sides of Japan are fighting the battlefield with all their might. Not long ago, Saigo Takamori made a 'request for self-guidance' to Liu Xian. (To be continued......)
