"Another new dress." Princess Xingzi asked with a mocking smile.

"Niangniang, this is your majesty specially asked people to order and send it for you from Jingshi, in addition to skirts, there are also many jewelry such as Jin Bu Shao, Dongzhu necklace and so on." The female officer was holding the very beautiful silk robe and said to her. "There is also a sable coat, which is made of the best sable fur in West Ball, in Beijing, such a sable coat can be worth hundreds of gold, it is said that in Europe, just one such sable fur can be exchanged for fifty acres of good land."

"Niangniang, this silk skirt and robe with you, it's really beautiful and nothing to say, Your Majesty really loves Niangniang."

"Pampering?" Xingzi was bitter in her heart, since the emperor suddenly killed her at the banquet on the wedding day, slaughtered all her guests, relatives and friends, and turned a festive wedding into a bloody wedding, she was desperate.

On the night of the wedding, the emperor did not even return to her new house, and he was busy sending troops to capture Edo. Until now, the whole of Japan has been annexed by the Han Dynasty, and his uncle's Tokugawa clan has also been uprooted, although he and the Japanese royal family have not been slaughtered, they are not much better than before.

She knew that if she and the royal family hadn't had some effect on the emperor, maybe they would have been purged on the wedding day.

is called the imperial concubine all day long, but what is the difference between it and a sinner who is imprisoned.

Gorgeous clothes can't change this fact.

"Your Majesty has a decree, I will come over tonight, and then the mother must wear this new dress given by Your Majesty to serve Your Majesty." The female officer took a soft ruler around her waist and measured her measurements. "In a few days, Your Majesty will return to Beijing, Niangniang is now the imperial concubine of the Han Dynasty, and when she arrives in the Forbidden Palace, she can no longer wear a kimono."

In the evening, the emperor came.

The Emperor's Imperial Kitchen prepares dinner. There are more than a dozen dishes, all of which are very exquisite.

She kept her head down, and did not amuse the emperor as the female officials taught. She didn't even know how she should face him, she was married to him, his wife, but on the other hand, he had annexed her country and killed her family.

"It's beautiful that you change into a Han family skirt, especially the makeup of the Han family's court is very suitable for you." Liu Jun said to Xingzi.

Xingzi still kept her head down.

Xingzi refused to answer Liu Jun. This makes the meal a bit delicate. After the meal, Liu Jun did not leave, and the attendants beside the emperor began to prepare, and the emperor was going to spend the night here tonight.

Xingzi was silent, and after the meal, the emperor was reading a book while Xingzi knelt silently to the side.

When it was not too early, the emperor spoke. "Sleep."

Immediately, a maid came over to dress her wide, and Xingzi felt nervous. I was at a loss for my hands and feet, and even my heart was beating faster. She wanted to refuse, wanted to resist, but she didn't know, but in the end, she just stood up at the request of the maids, and then was stripped of her clothes one by one. Then he changed into another set of silk pajamas.

The clothes were changed, and the maids withdrew.

There were only two people left in the room.

Liu Jun looked at Xingzi who was standing there, looked at her stiff expression, and chuckled. This laughter broke the awkward atmosphere, and Xingzi raised his head to look at the emperor. made eye contact, and quickly avoided it.

"Concubine Ai, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, what are you waiting for!"

Liu Jun laughed, stepped forward, hugged Xingzi in his arms, and carried her to the big bed.

The clouds and rain stopped.

Xingzi suddenly shed two lines of tears.

"Why did you kill them?"

"I didn't mean to do that, but they took it upon themselves."

"Why don't you kill me too?"

"You are my woman, and I have no hobby of killing my own woman. And I believe you, that you are not part of the conspiracy. They are them, you are you, you don't always think about that, although some people died, but they are to blame, and they are only a very small number of people, I believe that I, the rest of the people will live well, at least better than before. ”

"You prepare, and you will return to Beijing with me in three days."

After speaking, Liu Jun got up and left, and the chamberlain arranged another bed for him to sleep in next door.

Xingzi lay alone on the still somewhat messy bed, and the heat and pain after the first time kept reminding her that she had truly become the emperor's woman.

That night, she had insomnia.

On the other hand, the emperor slept soundly.

Heilongjiang in the northeast, far away from Japan.

Tong Haifeng's task force finally arrived at Rahasusu after a long journey.

Lahassusu is located to the south of the confluence of the Heilongjiang River and the Songhua River, and arriving here also means that they have passed the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River and are about to enter the middle reaches of the river basin.

There, it is now the section of the river controlled by the Qing people.

"My lord, this Lahasusu is the place of the Black Zhen people."

The Heizhen tribe, also known as the Hezhen tribe, or the savage Jurchen, Haidong Jurchen. In the Ming Dynasty, the Jianzhou Sanwei was established, and the four Hulun tribes were also formed, and each formed a stable alliance, with its own geographical scope, so the Jurchens outside their area were commonly known as the East China Sea Jurchens, or the Savage Jurchens.

After the Jurchens of Jianzhou and Haixi moved south, the Jurchens of the East China Sea also took the opportunity to move south and entered their former residences.

Therefore, the lower and lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River are basically the territory of the Jurchens in Haixi.

In the early years, the Manchu Qing sent troops to the Heilongjiang region and conquered the Jurchen tribes in Haixi. But only tributary relations were established, especially the Jurchen tribes in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, because the tribes were scattered and sparsely populated, and the Manchu Qing did not have strong actual control over this area.

Now that the Jurchens have retreated to the middle reaches of the Heilongjiang River, they have been trying to conquer the savage Jurchens downstream. However, the Sauron tribes in the middle and upper reaches revolted, disrupting the Manchu Qing's plans for conquest downstream.

After Tong Haifeng's fleet left Heilong Island, it entered the mouth of the Heilongjiang River.

All the way up the river, he contacted the Jurchen tribes in the East China Sea and attacked some of the fortresses established by the Manchus on both sides of the lower river. Pull out the nails all the way, pull out the nails of a Manchu Jurchen, and Tong Haifeng will leave some people behind. Set up their own military stations in their place, let them guard the downstream coast, and be responsible for liaising with the Jurchen tribes in the East China Sea.

Now, they have arrived at Rahassusu.

It used to be the place of the Heizhen tribe, but now it is a fortress of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"It seems that Jiannu is also on guard against us, and already knows that we are coming."

"So what. Look at this fortress, there are not many cannons, and they can't stop us at all. The gunner on the Wenzhou said disdainfully.

The shore defense battery is a huge threat to the battleship, because the battery stands on the riverside, there will be no bumps, and the guns can be fired more steadily and accurately, especially as long as there are conditions, they can place farther and larger guns.

It's like the home port of the fleets of the Empire, those shore defense fortress guns. It can make any enemy ship that wants to break into the military port be wiped out, even the entire fleet, and they will not dare to break into the military port of the Han army.

But it's different here, the small fort, obviously newly built, must have been repaired after hearing the news of their arrival. But the fort was small, and there were few guns on the battery, all of which were old-fashioned guns.

"Commander. Let these Jiannu see how powerful we are. ”

The drums of preparation for war were pounding, and the transports were left behind. One fifth-tier and four sixth-tier battleships were ready for battle, and all the crews had canceled their rests and were all in place.

Tong Haifeng put down the binoculars and sneered.

"Spread out the line, blast out the batteries, and get the gunboats and patrol boats behind ready. Immediately after the bombardment of the battery, they approached the shore to cover the landing of the landing craft of the Marine troops. ”

Along the way, everyone was just a little fight, and the Qing army they encountered. Basically, they were small troops, with no artillery and few guns, and they still fought with traditional bows and swords. They have already tested it with facts, and in front of their artillery and platoon guns, the Jianzhou Jurchens, who once made the people of the Central Plains smell and change color, are nothing more than that.

If the Jurchens had a Han army fort here, then they could pose a deadly threat to the fleet on the river, even if there was only one fort and a few cannons, they could still lock the river.

It's a pity that now on this simple fort, a group of Jurchens dragging money rat tails are preparing to fire guns in a panic. However, the Jurchens were not only defeated and retreated here from Liaodong, but they also lost excellent gunners after losing those Han Chinese troops.

There were four guns on the battery, but there were no experienced gunners.

Jiangzhong.

The five large battle ships spread out in a line, the rumbling cannons rang out, and the guns of the ships one after another roared, and the Qing troops on the batteries saw clusters of orange flames coming out of those sailing boats on the river.

Listening to the whistling cannons, the extremely young Jurchens on the fort hurriedly avoided in fright.

On this fort are not some Jurchen Eight Banner powerhouses, but some extremely young Jurchen children. By now, the Jurchens had to arm those teenage boys and send them to the battlefield.

The shelling is constant.

More than a dozen shells in front of him did not hit the battery, but the officers holding binoculars on the ship did not care at all. Although they despised the small fort in their hearts, they kept a long distance for the sake of caution.

As the distance increases, the accuracy of shooting will inevitably decrease.

The gun commanders of each cabin were constantly adjusting the firing angle, and the guns were getting more and more accurate, and one shell fell closer to the battery, and even two shells had hit the houses under the battery.

The shelling lasted about five minutes, and finally the battery was completely submerged in countless shells.

"Stop shooting!"

When the smoke cleared, everyone found that the improvised battery was completely gone, and it was not known how many cannons had been hit, and it had been completely destroyed, becoming a pile of broken bricks and rotten wood.

The order to land was passed down, and the impatient gunboats and patrol boats, which had been waiting behind for a long time, saw the flags from the flagship, and immediately began to rush to the shore like arrows from the string, and behind them, one transport after another, laden with marines, followed.

The gunboats and patrol boats approached the shore and met no resistance, except for the still burning pile of collapsed batteries.

The landing craft of the Marine Corps successfully landed, one by one they landed ashore, and then, under the command of the company commanders, platoon commanders, squad leaders, and squad leaders, they approached the shore in a skirmish line.

There was no resistance at all.

Everyone thought that the Qing army was lying in ambush behind, but as they got closer, they found that the Qing army's fort and the improvised barracks behind it had been completely plowed over, and there were large pits everywhere, burning wood, turned up black soil, and many stumps and broken arms scattered among them.

"Oh God, poor flock."

A German soldier looked at all this in amazement, it was too tragic.

"I guess all the Jurchens here were blown up."

"Under such heavy shelling, who can run."

A Marine Company Commander didn't care about those flesh and blood blurs, and kicked away a mess of rotten flesh at will, "Cheer up, soldier, there is no Ming Jin yet, the battle is not over yet, and there is no room for such slackness on the battlefield." Immediately search the vicinity, and as soon as the enemy is spotted, capture immediately. If there is resistance, there will be no mercy! ”

More Marines are still landing.

A nine-headed naval flag was planted on the ruins of the fort, and in a nearby clearing, soldiers were already setting up improvised tents.

This is what the task force has been doing for a long time, setting up batteries and military stations in some important areas to hold the river. At the same time, he also sent people to contact the tribes in all directions, organized them to resist the Qing army, and purchased dried meat and other materials from them as food supply reserves.

Tong Haifeng saw through the binoculars that there was no resistance on the shore, and the Marine troops had successfully occupied the enemy's batteries and camps, and nodded with great satisfaction.

"From now on, this Rahasusu is ours."

"My lord, the name of this Lahasusu is too ugly, why don't you give it a new name!" The captain of the Yongjia said with a smile.

They've done quite a few of these things along the way. Giving new names to the places where they had arrived was a great pleasure for the admirals. Basically, each officer named a number of new places.

"Give this place a new name." Tong Haifeng said to the captain of the Yongjia with a smile.

Getting the naming right, the captain of the Yongjia was very happy, he looked around, and thought, "This place is at the confluence of the Heilongjiang River and the Songjiang River, so it might as well be called Linjiang!" ”

"Linjiang, that's a good name. Then the newly built fortress is called Linjiang City, and the fort is called Linjiang Fort. ”

Tong Haifeng decided to leave a marine company here, and built a unit and two batteries here, each with eight guns, to defend this place. ”

"Leave some of the soldiers to guard the ship, and the rest go ashore to rest."

Except for those who stayed behind in each boat, the rest of the soldiers rushed off the boat. Those who supply fresh water, fish, hunt, and even forage for wild vegetables are walking on the shore with laughter, and many Marines have already begun to build camps.

The marines who had searched for the remnants of the enemy soon returned, bringing back a dozen embarrassed Jurchens, who had not escaped far before they were all captured.

"Take them down for interrogation separately to see if they know about the garrison of the Qing people upstream."
