In this era, all people in the area north of Heilongjiang and south of the Waixing'an Mountains were collectively called Sauron. It was not until the Kangxi Dynasty that Sauron commanded the Lu Ewenki tribe alone.
Yang Fan planned to pull these people out and form the Sauron Corps. Together with the Donghai Jurchen Donghai Corps, the number is enough. You can go south to attack the Qing Dynasty's territory.
Now that Jiannu has established a country, and the country is called the Qing Dynasty, it is only Huang Taiji who has not proclaimed himself emperor. Yang Fan was not polite.
Yang Fan planned to give Huang Taiji a big gift when he arrived outside the Great Wall with an army of more than 200,000 people. Yang Fan also arrived in Liaodong with the Sauron Corps and the Donghai Corps. Yang Fan planned to send the Mongolian cavalry from Duolun City to intercept the battlefield as soon as the Qing soldiers and horses entered the pass.
At that time, the Mongolian rangers will dispatch horse teams in small groups to specifically attack the logistics transportation and messengers of the slaves. Let the inside and outside of the customs lose contact.
Yang Fan was convinced that he had something that the savages were jealous of, and he was not afraid that they would not use it for him.
Today Yang Fan said that he would divide territories for them based on their strength. These people will have to fight when they go back. Large tribes will annex small tribes. In order to protect themselves, small tribes will automatically merge with tribes that are related by blood and are relatively close to each other to protect themselves.
In particular, once the territory is confirmed by the Ming Dynasty, it will be difficult to change it in the future. Therefore, they will definitely come up with a result themselves first. In this way, after integration, there will be no forces that are too small. It is also convenient for Yang Fan to manage.
Otherwise, they would all be small teams of dozens of people, and command would be a problem. Yang Fan hoped that they could be organized into a separate unit with a thousand households, and at worst they would have to have a battalion leader of 500 people.
The East China Sea Jurchens have confirmed that more than 40,000 people will go on the expedition. Of these Beishan Jurchens and Sauron people, Yang Fan estimates that he can pull out 20,000 to 30,000 people. A total of 60,000 to 70,000 people like this would be enough to fight the Qing Dynasty.
There are few people, and there is insufficient strength when attacking the city. After all, people like Jiannu now own many fortified cities.
After finishing this matter, Yang Fan took the fleet back to Vladivostok. Because here in Temple Street, even though it is the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, there are more and more floating ice, which affects navigation safety. Yang Fan must go back immediately.
The return trip went smoothly, and three days later, driven by the northwest wind, we returned to the port of Vladivostok. The lucky ship unloaded its cargo and lacked ballast, so it simply loaded the tens of thousands of catties of fish owned by Xiao Niangpi and transported them back to Vladivostok.
Yang Fan returned to his wooden villa, and Chen Xi and Mei Xiang came to greet him happily. The two of them really wanted to go to Temple Street with them, but unfortunately the master didn't agree. Let them stay and take care of the children with Aunt Mei.
But Xiao Niangpi also brought them good things. Each person has a small bag of Dongzhu. Got them all in Temple Street. There are many dong pearls over there. As long as the clams in the river are big enough, you can pry them open and there will be quiet and clear dong pearls.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru found a small pond with huge river clams under the frozen ice. The little girl directly asked the engineers to blast open the ice and fish out tens of thousands of river mussels.
Then, the two of them were on the boat with Busia and four maids, and they happily used daggers to pry open the river clams. After rummaging through the clam meat, he screamed excitedly when he found a pearl.
They found this to be an interesting game. It is equivalent to opening a blind box. No one knows whether there are pearls inside until it is opened. It all depends on luck.
"Wow, what a beautiful pearl. Is this the legendary Dongzhu?" Chen Xi's eyes were filled with little stars. She fished out a dozen sparkling pearls from the bag with her little hands and praised them.
"Of course, this is the most authentic Dongzhu." Xiao Niangpi said proudly. "I got more than 10,000 big river mussels and brought them all back. We can use daggers to pry open a few to see if there are any pearls."...
Chen Xi and Mei Xiang immediately became happy. If they opened the blind box and found the pearl, they would be extremely happy. This is a great after dinner activity.
"Everyone has a share." Whoever draws it will get it. "Xiao Niangpi waved her hand boldly and said.
"Thank you, madam." There was a burst of compliments from everyone.
The maids were very happy. They didn't expect that following the master and his wife to this bitter cold place would have such benefits. It would be great if I could get myself a pair of Dongzhu's necklaces. This stuff is not cheap in Daming.
. It's already worth a lot of money.
Whose maid can have such a heavy reward? Whose maid can wear the Dongzhu necklace?
This is probably the first share of the Ming Dynasty in Uncle Dingyuan's house.
"By the way, sir, before you left, didn't you say you wanted to build the China-Eastern Railway?" Chen Xi asked. "The line needs to be surveyed. It probably won't be done until spring next year. And the investment is huge. I don't know if the finance can afford it."
Yang Fan smiled and said: "There is no need to survey, I have a ready-made road map, just follow the road map to build it. In addition, we will not stop at 762, we will build the smallest railway with 381 gauge. One train has a capacity of 500 to 800 tons. Also It’s enough."
Chen Xi nodded and said, "That's good. The fifteen-inch track is very economical. Even the ballast is saved. Use stone rollers to compact the roadbed and lay the sleepers directly. The construction speed is also fast. If it is constructed in sections, there will be After two or three years, I went to Ulan-Ude."
The 381 narrow gauge really saves money and man-hours. In addition to the 762 narrow gauge being used as the main line in the future, the smallest narrow gauge will be the most developed in Kailai. Prefecture and county branch lines outside the provincial capital are most suitable for this kind of small railway.
In this era, the natural economy was the main body. Under the agricultural economy, there was little population movement. There is little pressure on material transportation. It is a waste to build the standard track for future generations. There is not that much capacity demand.
This small train can burn both wood and coal. As long as there is fuel and water, it can run anywhere. Especially in mountainous areas, small trains with a width of just over one meter are more suitable for narrow road conditions.
Although the speed is very slow, only about 25 kilometers, it is much faster than the horse-drawn ox cart. It can run 600 kilometers in a day and night, which is 1,200 miles. It’s faster than eight hundred miles of expediting.
Chen Xi asked: "Sir, have you agreed on your Sauron mercenary group? Our warehouse in Vladivostok doesn't have many firearms. I'm afraid we can only equip them with cold weapons. Armor is not enough either."
After all, this colony was prepared according to the military supplies of three regiments. Now there are 60,000 to 70,000 people all at once. Weapons and armor are definitely not enough. Fortunately, there are sufficient food reserves. Not only canned seafood is available in abundance. Corn has been planted here for two years and rice for one year, and the granaries are full.
Yang Fan said: "If you don't have armor, you won't wear armor. All the steel ingots stored here are taken out to make weapons. The main ones are spears, which save the most steel. We will give armor to the officers, but not to the soldiers. Sauron Soldiers They are brave in battle and can fight without armor. Just give them the captured Mongolian bow."
