In the western part of Huguang Province, heroes from all walks of life gathered together and made a pot of porridge.

Whether it's a person or a ghost, it's all showing, and only Zhang Xianzhong is being beaten.

Compared with there, Yang Chengying has only two words to describe it here - boring.

In addition to marching, it is still marching.

After leaving Hunchun and meeting at Changchun Fort, he continued to advance northeast with his soldiers.

Under the guidance of the guide, after a difficult trek, we arrived at Acheng (now Harbin).

Along the way, to put it romantically, it is "beating the roe deer and scooping the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot".

To put it in layman's terms, Yang Chengying didn't sleep well every night, only listening to the crackling gunshots outside.

It's all about fighting beasts with guns.

Because there are too many mosquitoes, the bright post and the secret post are also saved, and they all stay behind the fence and light homemade mosquito coils to prevent mosquito bites.

In Acheng, Yang Chengying met with another leader of the Golros Clan, Bu Muba.

Although Bumuba is Gumu's cousin, in terms of strength, he is not as good as Gumu.

So, Bumba basically didn't have any ideas - what his brother said, he listened to.

Yang Chengying stayed in Acheng and did not continue to explore eastward.

On the one hand, it is too time-consuming to go east, and the supplies are clothed.

On the other hand, the sixth month of the lunar calendar is the seventh month of the solar calendar, which belongs to the period of abundant rainfall.

When Yang Chengying first arrived in Acheng, it was still in the period of exhaustion.

Both the abundance and the depletion have caught up.

It is a good opportunity to carry out hydrological surveys to facilitate the transportation of supplies in the future.

Not just observations, but also field experiments.

The grain of Xinmintun was transferred to Dengzi Village with the help of the Xiliao River, and then transported to the carriage and transported to Yitunmen.

Then board the boat at Yitun Mun, pass through the Yitong River and Songhua River, and arrive at Ah Cheng.

In addition, Yang Chengying also selected Mongolian warriors, under the leadership of Cao Bianjiao and Wang Fuchen, along the east of the river, to Jiamustun and other places, to do business with the local people, and promote Wanghua.

When some of the chiefs learned about it, they brought some gifts to Yang Chengying.

Poor place, don't come empty-handed, it's already good.

However, after seeing the Liaodong Army, the chiefs immediately sent people to run back and brought rich gifts to Yang Chengying.

Mink, deer antlers, delicious game......

Yang Chengying smiled and accepted them one by one.

In order to talk to these little chiefs, Yang Chengying used five translators at most.

Communication is also a matter of comparison.

At the beginning of June, a heavyweight arrived.

He is the leader of the Daur tribe, Bardazi, who lives in Dokotun on the banks of the Jingqili River.

Bardazi led thirty-five men to Yang Chengying's camp and paid 1,818 mink skins.

In order to entertain this distinguished guest, Yang Chengying personally slaughtered the first sheep and prepared to entertain the distinguished guest with roasted whole sheep.

"The Northeast is really a good place, there is endless meat all year round, but it is a little unpalatable without some seasoning.

Your hometown must be a long way from here, right? ”

Yang Chengying smeared the packed sheep with salt, stuffed it with condiments such as peppercorns, and talked while busy.

"More than 1,300 miles, we have walked for a long time."

After listening to the translation, Bardazi replied.

Yang Chengying nodded: "At such a distance, how do you know that I am in Acheng?" ”

"As long as you have an idea, you will inquire, the king has been out for so long, and he has sent people around to explore the land and tribes, saying that it is impossible to say that he does not know at all."

What Bardazi said was very real.

This made Yang Chengying have some good feelings for him.

With the rise of the Later Jin, it was impossible for the people living in the northeast not to feel threatened, and Huang Taiji had twice conquered the Heilongjiang River valley and captured more than 100,000 people.

Yang Chengying replaced Houjin and sent people to the Heilongjiang River basin twice to explore.

No matter whether the tribal chieftain wants to fight or peace, he can't ignore Yang Chengying's existence.

"The place where you live is a little colder, but the land is good."

Yang Chengying led the topic to farming, "Such a good land, it's a pity that it's barren, and food should be grown." ”

"The people who can farm the land are as precious as the sun and the moon in the sky."

"Don't talk about good farming tools, even seeds are a rarity," Bardazi said. ”

This reminded Yang Chengying.

He hurriedly handed over the work at hand to the guards, took off his leather apron and set it aside, washed his hands and wiped his knife, and beckoned Bardazi to the big tent.

"I was negligent. You are in the bitter cold land of the Northeast, and there is never a shortage of meat to eat. ”

Yang Chengying said as he set up a small stove, "I'll cook you a bowl of rice and let you taste it." ”

Bardazi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly thanked: "Rice is very precious, so it's better for the king to keep it and eat it himself." ”

"It is precisely because it is precious that it entertains distinguished guests." Yang Chengying said.

Bardazi was silent, his eyes full of gratitude.

Yang Chengying put the rice in the pot, washed it twice with the water he picked up, added water for the third time, felt appropriate, put it on the stove, and covered the small pot.

As he added wood to the furnace, he asked, "Have you heard of Bomu Bogol, a leader of the tribe of Sauron?" ”

"He is the head of the tribe of Sauron, and nominally in charge of twenty or thirty tunzi, a large number, mixed with the tribe of Daur."

"I estimate that he has at least five or six thousand men under his command," Bardazi said. ”

Yang Chengying listened to it and thought that his strength was really good.

According to his knowledge of this history, there are probably three parts of the Sauron Division, the Sauron Division, the Sauron Division, and the Envoy Deer Division.

In Yang Chengying's view, this division is for the sake of convenience.

Most of the ethnic groups are divided according to their place of residence.

No matter what race you are, you can't leave the territory. Without the protection of the territory, the cold snap blowing from the Mongolian plateau will engulf you in an instant.

Baldaqi glanced at Yang Chengying cautiously: "King, you shouldn't be robbing the population of Bomu Bogol, right?" ”

The Later Jin used to do this often, by plundering the population to expand agricultural production and maintain the military expenditure of the Eight Banners.

There is also a function, by distributing the spoils of war, to give the flag Ding "salary".

Isn't it amazing, the Jianzhou Jurchens were later Manchus, and they had no money before they entered the Central Plains.

It was all about looting and bounty to sustain the army's expenses. It was not until after Shunzhi that the pension and salary began to be rated.

For this issue of payable money, there was also a famous "sales case".

"I don't rob people, but Bomu Bogol has never come to see me, and if I don't punish him, it's hard to determine my prestige."

Yang Chengying said.

"Bomu Bogol is huge, I'm afraid it's not so easy to deal with."

Baldazi said: "If the king wants to deal with him, the ministers are willing to help him, but the ministers are too small to be of great use." ”

"As long as you have the heart."

Yang Chengying said: "You provide me with some guides, what do you want me to repay you for your loyalty?" ”

"I didn't want to get anything, but I did ask the king, the minister has two younger brothers, and I want to ask the second brother of the king to follow the king to Shenyang to see the world."

It's okay to see the world.

Yang Chengying asked suspiciously: "Will you also divide your household?" ”

In many remote areas, the "family property" refers to the tribes, and the chiefs live on the tribute paid by the tribes.
