Guanwai is synonymous with poverty, and the people outside Guanwai are also synonymous with barbarism and fierceness.

Mo Xiancheng and others, who had been working hard for two months, suddenly found that they were wrong, there was no need for him to conquer with blood outside the Guan, most of the people inside the Guanguan were wrong, it was true that the people outside the Guanxi were poor, but the fierceness and barbarism were not what they imagined. This area is home to a large number of Jurchens and Mongols, as well as other ethnic minorities, who are not fierce and barbaric, but helpless to survive.

Guanwai is too poor, and the poverty is jaw-dropping. In the low thatched huts, there was almost nothing but simple farm tools and simple homemade furniture, and there was even less food, and the people were completely dependent on the weather for food, and the yield of the reclaimed land was extremely limited. In order to survive, the people here are almost all hunters, relying on hunting and gathering wild fruits and vegetables to make a difficult living. In order to have a full meal, Ding Zhuang among these people doesn't mind working for anyone, the nation doesn't matter, the country is also not important, the important thing is to live.

Mo Xiancheng completely understood that the strength of the people of Jianzhou before was based on poverty, and the choice of life and death created the strong Eight Banners of Jianzhou.

"Isn't it very touching?" In the biting wind, Zhou Huchen looked at the white ice and asked Mo Xiancheng:

On the ice, the soldiers were divided into two groups, left and right, and were advancing towards the opposite shore.

"I know how to govern the northern land, but I need the help of the marshal." Mo Xiancheng covered a special fur to warm his neck, and his words were a little sullen.

Zhou Huchen patted the war horse under his crotch: "There will be no shortage of anything, businessmen, grain, farm tools, seeds, daily necessities, and people will come slowly, with Uncle Cheng, I believe that a different north will appear, and there will be more difficult tasks waiting for Uncle Cheng in the future." ”

Mo Xiancheng didn't seem to care: "It's just colder, as long as the relocation is successful, what is this?" ”

Ponder for a moment. Zhou Huchen continued his topic: "Uncle Cheng, it's not a matter of being colder, but that there is a more powerful enemy farther north, this enemy is called Tsarist Russia, they are stronger than Jiannu, they are also more barbaric and difficult, and they are more adapted to such a cold climate. Therefore, this is not only Uncle Cheng's problem, but also Xiaohua's problem, his son and even his grandson's problem. Even hundreds of years later are problems. The long-term struggle in the future is inevitable, Uncle Cheng must be prepared, so that Xiaohua must rush here next year, so that he can adapt to the northern land with us. ”

Zhou Huchen didn't know if the powerful enemy in the north was now called Tsarist Russia, but this enemy was strong enough, because of the problem of geography and population, such a war was very difficult to conduct, he had to give Mo Xiancheng some ideological preparations, and Xiaohua must also become a wise general. Therefore. It is a must for him to experience it by his side as soon as possible.

"Tsarist Russia, I haven't heard of it, but this Tsarist Russia is so powerful. Are they stronger than our army? "Mo Xiancheng is a little incomprehensible, because his army is too strong, and the strong Mo Xiancheng is sometimes like a dream, and it is too difficult to imagine that Tsarist Russia can be stronger than his own army.

"Won't be better than us. Neither in terms of population and weapons, nor in terms of combat effectiveness, is now inferior to us. And it's a lot worse. However, in the future, if there is no war, the combat effectiveness of our army will gradually decline, and this is a law that cannot be changed. In the future, they will also master advanced firearms, coupled with the adaptation of climate and terrain, the combat effectiveness of the army will be shortened, so they have to guard against it. The lands further north, though barren ice fields and extremely sparsely populated, were also the most buffer zone, and therefore, the lands there must not be left to Tsarist Russia. ”

Mo Xiancheng nodded frequently in silence, he didn't understand how Zhou Huchen knew this. Who has been further north? It is impossible for Zhou Huchen to have been there, his subordinates have not been, could it be that someone hired by his local guide has been there?

"That land is called Luo Wilderness, also called Siberia, the territory is extremely vast, several times larger than the entire territory of my Ming Dynasty, it belongs to us in ancient times, it is our hometown, but it is too far away from the Central Plains, and the ethnic and population problems make the control ineffective, therefore, Uncle Cheng's task is very arduous. However, you can't give up, even if the court doesn't want to, you must never give up! ”

The ancient era belonged to Zhou Huchen, who did not belong to China, had some vague memories, but he knew that the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties had the right to rule there, and as for how much Zhou Huchen ruled, he was also black. However, he must Mo Xiancheng know that the land should belong to Huaxia, and it is natural to take it over, and he can't be cheap Lao Maozi, since he is here, he has to do it, and what it will do depends on Mo Xiancheng and his descendants.

In fact, in the 17th century, Russia began to expand from the west, annexing many small states and expanding into eastern Siberia; The Manchus conquered Mongolia proper, possessed southern Siberia, and established the Qing Dynasty. Russia and the Qing Dynasty, two countries that were not close to each other, clashed in Siberia. Later, through the war and the Treaty of Nebuchu, the Shili range of Siberia was divided. Russia expanded eastward to the easternmost tip of Siberia, and even owned Alaska, which was later sold to the United States because it could not be "digested". After that, although Japan wanted to fight for Siberia, Siberia remained firmly in the hands of Russia.

The Ming Dynasty's Nuer Gandu Division had a wide jurisdiction, not only from Liaodong in the south to the vast area in the north to the Outer Khing'an Mountains, but also to the north of the Outer Khing'an Mountains to the Arctic Circle and the Arctic Ocean coast of the Yaku region. For example, the Beishan Jurchen, the Beishan is the southern branch of the Outer Khing'an Mountains and the Yaku area of the North Branch of the Outer Khing'an Mountains extending to the Bering Sea headland, and this kind of savage takes deer to catch seafood as tribute. It was recorded in the "Ming Huidian": "The savage Jurchen went far to China, and the tribute was not frequent. This means that the northern mountain savages of the Yaku region do not pay tribute, but that they do not pay tribute. According to the "Ming Huidian", the Jianzhou Haixi Jurchen paid one tribute a year, and the one tribute every three years should be the savage Jurchen, which shows that the Ming Dynasty government has been effectively administering the Yaku region north of the Outer Xing'an Mountains to the Arctic Circle and the Arctic Ocean coast.

The Later Jin Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty inherited the old system of the Ming Dynasty, and after completing the unification of the outer Khing'an Mountains to the south, they further strengthened their rule over the Yaku region of Northeast Asia. First of all, the Qing government first appeased Lake Baikal and the upper and middle reaches of the Yenisei River in the west of the Yaku region of Northeast Asia, and then carried out a war of unification. Through the war of unification, a wide area of Northeast Asia, such as Yaku, was brought under the jurisdiction of the Later Jin.

Zhou Huchen actually embarked on the old path of the Qing court, but this old path was destined to be different, because Zhou Hu's control would be different from that of the Qing court, and the concept of warfare and territory would be even different.

"How can this be endured, Nurgandus still doesn't know when it will be completely calmed down? That's a territory several times larger than my Daming, the population is sparse, this Aruwei is cold enough, isn't that Luo wilderness, that is, Siberia, even colder, how to control it? ”

Mo Xiancheng was under pressure, Zhou Huchen's goal he thought was big enough, but now it seems to be too big, but this is too difficult for him.

"Tsarist Russia is the same as us, this Siberia is the same buffer zone, their territory is farther west, farther than us, we just need to slowly go north and then slowly advance west. The premise is that if we maintain a strong military Liliang and control Outer Mongolia, there will be no major problems. Zhou Huchen continued to talk eloquently.

"Mongolia is even more difficult to control! The grassland desert has always been a difficult point for the people of the Central Plains, those herdsmen have beaten no, packed up their tents and fled, in the vast and boundless grassland, without their own people, this is not tired to death! Mo Xiancheng's eyes began to turn black, this is too powerful, it is simply against the sky, and the grassland people who have not been able to solve it in all dynasties and dynasties seem to exist in his mouth.

"What is Outer Mongolia? Isn't there still Inner Mongolia? After next spring, I will return to Inner Mongolia, and I will let those tribal leaders of Inner Mongolia willingly go with me to Outer Mongolia, and our follow-up troops will also come here. Uncle Cheng's task is to consolidate the northern land, and then advance to the northwest to form a flank attack on Outer Mongolia. If the Outer Mongolians do not obey my Ming Dynasty, I will kill the corpses of Outer Mongolia in a sea of blood, who will kill whom, and let the Mongolians drink Tsarist Russia to send them to death! If I don't control it, I'm going to make it uninhabited for a hundred years. ”

It's too ruthless, what can Mo Xiancheng say? Zhou Huchen can do it, and he will do it thoroughly, there is no doubt about this.

Zhou Huchen drew a huge blueprint with an understatement, which was very easy, but Mo Xiancheng knew what it meant if he was relaxed. Zhou Huchen said that he would do it, Inner Mongolia is no longer a problem, with Zhou Huchen's ability to use troops, once he has no scruples, it will be a tragedy for the Outer Mongolians, and that grassland will be stained red with blood. As for the Tsarist Russia in his mouth, it is estimated that he will encounter it in the future, although Mo Xiancheng is not as good as Zhou Huchen, but Mo Xiancheng also does not mind killing, his son will not either, and his grandson will not (to be continued......
