Although the Dai King Zhu Chuanfu and the Jin King Zhu Shenxuan had a dispute over how to divide their territory, they have been in peace since they moved to the island. They live in their own way.
The main reason is that the population under each jurisdiction is too small, and they can't even take care of their own territory, and they have no time to worry about the other party's territory.
The braids that appear and disappear on the other side also play the role of catfish to a certain extent, allowing the two feudal lords to "refresh themselves" at any time, for fear that the braids will touch them and directly bring them to their nests.
The two feudal lords unanimously claimed to be the wise kings of the island. These are two strange and beautiful scenery...
Opposite Sakhalin Island is the Hui Kingdom established by Hui King Zhu Yicheng. The territory is Habaro and Binhai. Originally, according to the dimensional comparison, it was farther south than Sakhalin Island.
But there are advantages and disadvantages, because it is too far south, so close to the famous "Haixi Jurchen" that they are face to face!
Among the many vassal kings who moved to the north of the vassal state, King Hui had twelve county princes under his command, and his strength was second only to Zhou King Zhu Gongzhen.
Originally, in their own fiefdom, these counties could be lined up from south to north.
It was because of the constant harassment by the soldiers and horses of the Haixi Jurchen tribe that the whole Hui Kingdom was so frightened that they could only tremble and huddle together within ten miles of the seaside for warmth.
In the final analysis, because there were too few horses, and even fewer war horses, Hui's soldiers and horses were really unable to compete with the Haixi Jurchen tribe's armed forces, which made up the majority of cavalry.
Fortunately, there are still a few small warships equipped with naval guns, which can deter these barbarians, otherwise the entire Hui Kingdom would have to dare to go to the sea to feed the fish...
King Hui's soldiers and horses were not inactive. Fortunately, they also killed dozens of natives. The results were quite impressive. After all, these were Jurchen warriors in a macro sense.
But after they suffered a loss, they became smarter and no longer confronted each other head-on. Instead, they waited for opportunities to launch sneak attacks on the people of Hui State who were out logging and hunting.
After his own vassal state was riddled with holes by the indigenous people, Hui King Zhu Yichen had no choice but to temporarily give up the exploration and development of the inland and wait for the fleet from the mainland to send more supplies.
After replenishing war horses, artillery, cannons, and young men, in the summer, Zhu Yicheng went on a personal expedition and led hundreds of Hui soldiers and horses to fight with the surrounding Jurchen tribes and finally defeated them. He was finally proud and proud.
Since the opponent was familiar with the terrain, they fled immediately after dozens of casualties.
The soldiers and horses of Hui State chased for dozens of miles, but could not catch up. They were afraid that they would be ambushed if they continued to pursue, so they chose to withdraw their troops and retreat.
Even so, Zhu Yicheng also stipulated that his country's Zimin must expand thirty miles inland.
Originally, the territory going south to the northeastern part of the Kimchi Kingdom also belonged to the Hui Kingdom, but Zhu Yicheng did not dare to send troops there at all.
The further south you go, the more Jurchen natives there are. If more than a dozen native tribes attack together, his vassal state will be completely destroyed.
On the one hand, Zhu Yicheng sent people to return to the mainland by boat to ask for help. On the other hand, he asked the government troops responsible for the task of suppressing the indigenous people on Sakhalin Island to cross the strait and lend a helping hand.
Yang Zhan, the commander-in-chief who led the troops to suppress the attack on Sakhalin Island, heard the news. In view of the situation on the island and the possibility of onlookers, he allocated 300 soldiers to cross the strait by boat and go to Huiguo to help in the war.
With the full help of the officers and soldiers, Zhu Yicheng immediately felt relieved, and guaranteed to supply a large amount of seafood to the officers and soldiers, ensuring that they could eat delicious food from the sea every meal.
Coming to the North to suppress the natives and leaving their homes thousands of miles away, many people originally came reluctantly and had to come, but they didn't expect this trip to be a success.
The fighting power of the indigenous people here is simply not comparable to that of the Donglu outside the pass. They were almost defeated in one blow, and they seemed to be a ragtag group of people.
Besides, the vassal kings treated the officers and soldiers as honored guests and provided them with quite good meals.
You may not be able to eat a meal of meat in ten days at home, but here you can eat it every day.
In many cases, everyone can get a piece of grilled fish weighing one or two kilograms. If they eat well, their morale will naturally be high.
After personally experiencing the benefits of the North Land, the officers and soldiers had the same idea as the vassal kings. If they had known that the North Land was so good, the imperial court should have come to seize the territory earlier.
It's a bit late to come here at this time. I should have come more than two hundred years ago, otherwise it would have become a veritable paradise of kings.
They say it’s bitterly cold in the North, but that’s all a lie. As long as you work hard and work hard, you can make a living by yourself. At least you won’t have to spend a lot of money to eat meat.
Both the common people and the officers and soldiers have gained a lot of weight compared to what they were back home. Even the elderly and children are like this, with their faces glowing red.
In view of the fact that the Jurchen tribe's armed forces would attack them at any time, Hui Wang Zhu Yichen took the initiative to form an alliance with the acting king Zhu Chuanfu and Jin Wang Zhu Shenxuan on Sakhalin Island.
Once the Hui State is in trouble, both the Dai State and the Jin State are obliged to send troops to help, and the number of reinforcements from each country should not be less than 200.
It doesn’t look like much, but it’s better than nothing!
In addition to the 300 officers and soldiers fighting on the west bank, the total strength of the armed forces of the three countries is over a thousand.
Coupled with more than ten artillery pieces and hundreds of bird cannons, it can at least have a great deterrent effect on the surrounding Jurchen tribes.
The Hui King Zhu Yicheng did not form an alliance with the Fu King Zhu Changxun in the north because the latter was very self-reliant.
Every time he claimed to be the "former heir to the throne", the feudal kings were disgusted with him.
The fiefdom of King Fu Zhu Changxun was Amur. Jurchens also appeared here, but the number was much smaller than that in Hui.
Perhaps due to being too stingy, Zhu Changxun only had two county princes under his command, which was equivalent to a fraction of King Hui.
The strength is naturally different, and Zhu Changxun has always been very self-reliant.
As a result, the relationship with Zhu Yicheng, the king of Hui in the south, was cold, and the friendship with Zhu Changzi, the king of Lu in the north, was not good either.
The king of Lu, Zhu Changzi, only had a prince in his hands, so he would naturally choose to hug the thickest thigh of the king of Zhou, Zhu Gongqi.
After discovering that some red Yi Rakshasa evil spirits were haunting his territory, Zhu Changzi contacted Zhu Changxun, hoping that the two countries could work together to defend against the enemy.
But the latter seemed to have little interest and had a dull response to the former's proposal.
This made Zhu Changzi greatly disappointed, and he also realized that Zhu Changxun, a fellow sect member, was a loser who had his eyes set above his head.
If his own soldiers and horses really couldn't defeat the evil Rakshasa demon, he might as well just ask the King of Zhou to send troops.
Fortunately, the distance between the two countries' capitals is very close, less than a hundred miles, and the cabins on the border are almost next to each other, making it very convenient to connect.
Zhou Wang Zhu Gongzhen certainly paid great attention to this, because the prince said that the Rakshasa evil ghosts have focused their expansion on their fiefdoms in recent years.
For this reason, the prince also gave Zhu Gongzhen a situation map, which marked the time when the Rakshasa evil spirits expanded to each strategic town.
In view of this, Zhu Gongqi agreed to Zhu Changzi's request.
The strength of Zhou State is second to none among all the vassal states, not to mention the entire Northern Territory.
Thirty-seven princes means that there are thirty-seven counties, each of which sends one hundred troops, which adds up to nearly four thousand troops!
With King Lu's troops and horses, it shouldn't be a big problem to resist hundreds of Rakshasa evil spirits.
It's just that Zhou Wang Zhu Gongzhen has his own troubles. At present, the thirty-seven princes are actually divided into three groups.
Except for himself, his son and several county princes who remained neutral, the other two major groups fought every other day.
There is no other reason than conflicts caused by land grabs.
More than a dozen county kings gathered hundreds of people and started fighting. In the local area, this would be called the "Village Chief War" by the prince!
This kind of thing happened often in the Zhou Kingdom after the beginning of spring. Since no amount of persuasion worked, the King of Zhou simply let it go and became accustomed to it.
Originally, the King of Zhou wanted the princes to work hard to develop the new fiefdom and cooperate with the outside world. But now it is better, the civil war is in full swing...
The place south of the capital is as quiet and peaceful as Lu State.
The place north of the capital is the Warring States Period in the "Northland".
At some point, King Zhou Zhu Gongzhen felt that it would be best to let these two gangs die together!
In view of this, the original plan to develop gold mines in Chukotka, the far north, was also forced to be shelved.
In this regard, Zhu Youfan, the Chongwang who lived on the Kamchatka Peninsula, did not have much objection.
The secret of Chongguo was initially known to only King Chong Zhu Youfan. Even King Zhu Youza of Huai'an County and King Zhu Youcai of Heyang County felt that they had been sent to a bitter cold place that was remote, cold, and had almost no products. land.
After arriving at the place, disembarking from the boat, and after careful exploration, the two princes realized that this was the fiefdom they had only obtained through the care of the crown prince.
Since the island is full of active volcanoes, it produces a large amount of sulfur, so much that Zheng Zhiwan's fleet could not load it even ten times a year!
There is no need for other specialties. Chongguo Zimin can live a happy life just by relying on furs, aquatic products and sulfur.
The most important thing is that Chongguo looks very remote on the map, but the land near the volcano is extremely fertile.
For comparison, the best paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River can be sold for thirty taels of silver per acre, and the land near the volcano is worth this price.
However, due to climate reasons, there can only be one harvest a year, and wheat must be grown, not other crops.
Unexpectedly, wheat could be grown in the seemingly cold northern land, but Jiang Chongguo was very happy.
Seafood can be caught nearby, wheat can be grown on land, and sulfur from the crater can be exchanged for local products.
Almost overnight, Chongguo became the most promising one in the vassal state.
Because there are no braids here, and there are very few natives, you can sit back and relax.
Although he only got half of Kamchatka, and the northern part belonged to the Zhou Kingdom, Chong Wang Zhu Youfan was already satisfied.
According to thermometers brought from the mainland, the temperature in the southern part of the peninsula only reaches minus ten degrees Celsius in winter, but can reach 20 degrees Celsius in summer.
Compared with the expectation before departure that I would wear furs and cotton-padded clothes all year round, this decision was an unexpected surprise.
If you dig into the land near the volcano in winter, you will find that it is actually warm inside. This is the geothermal effect that the prince said.
Of course, Chong Guo Zimin on the island does not need to use this trick to keep warm. There are coal mines on the island, and Chong Wang Zhu Youfan has already ordered the development of the coal mines.
In winter, each family can receive ten kilograms of coal per day, which is enough to ensure that every Zimin can survive the cold winter safely.
The climate on the island is not as good as on the mainland, causing trees to grow extremely slowly.
Zhu Youzhen ordered that the felled trees could only be used to build wooden houses, barrels and other tools. They were not allowed to be used for burning firewood for heating except for igniting fires.
Every household must use coal for heating. For the population of Chongguo, the coal mines on the island are enough to last for tens of thousands of years, and the briquettes made into briquettes are even easier to ignite.
After the beginning of spring, the prince even sent some craftsmen. The purpose was to adapt to local conditions and take advantage of the abundant sulfur in Chongguo to build a soap factory here to produce sulfur soap.
It would be too low-income to have Zheng Zhiwan's fleet transport sulfur all the way. By directly processing the raw materials into finished products at the place of shipment and then transporting them back for sale, it would be twice the result with half the effort, and it would also help Chongguo boost its economy.
Chongwang Zhu Youfan naturally supported this very much. This was the first modern factory established in Chongguo. It could also recruit a lot of female workers and create a lot of profits in the future.
The newly arrived people in Chongguo have started a new life under the arrangements of the local fellows. Especially the wooden houses must be built as soon as possible while the weather is good.
Those who are strong can cut down trees and build wooden houses, and those who have done fishing can go to sea.
If you don't have enough strength, but you can still walk, you can naturally follow the seniors to the crater to collect sulfur. Carrying twenty kilograms is enough for a day's meals.
Since the path taken is a predetermined route, as long as the rules are followed, there is no danger at all.
Last year, everyone in Chongguo worked together to quickly build wooden houses. Only then did they escape the cold and avoid being exposed to the cold outdoors.
Thousands of people who are coming one after another must also follow this way, otherwise they will regret it.
Some people on the shore are simple. Even the Chongwang Zhu Youzhen and his concubine only live in a wooden house about 100 meters away.
The small wooden huts on both sides are used to house maids and chamberlains, and a one-foot-high fence around them serves as the courtyard wall.
This is the residence of King Chong. It is certainly dwarfed by the palaces in the mainland, but the houses of other civil servants and generals on the island are not as beautiful and grand as this one.
The happiest thing for Zhu Youfan was hearing that the fleet from the mainland had arrived in his fiefdom. Seeing Zheng Zhiwan was like seeing a relative.
Even though there was a table full of seafood, Zheng Zhiwan couldn't work up much of his appetite.
When we arrived in Lu State, we were treated to game and seafood.
When they arrived in the Kingdom of Zhou, they were treated to game and seafood.
Chongguo is the last stop on this journey, and the reception is the same...
At any rate, the soldiers under Zheng Zhiwan's command were very respectable, and many of them came to the North just to feast on the delicious food.
Zhu Youfan was not only not angry, but also very happy. This showed that he was not regarded as an outsider.
As long as you eat and drink well, the rest will be easy to talk about.
When you come to your own vassal country, everything will be favorable!
Zheng Zhiwan introduced the local situation. He heard that the prince led the army to defeat Huang Taiji at the foot of the capital, killing as many as 50,000 enemies.
Zhu Youfan and the civil servants and generals around him all looked determined and disbelieving. Isn't this too exaggerated?
However, such news was published in the "Jingshi Daily", and the newspaper was also placed on the desk. Zheng Zhilong's eldest son, Zheng Chenggong, also led more than a thousand Zheng's troops to participate in the battle. He saw it with his own eyes and was determined not to lie.
Zheng Zhiwan also revealed a shocking inside information to everyone present, that is, the prince used the smallpox virus to deal with Donglu, which caused Huang Taiji to be defeated.
This was an earth-shattering content. Although everyone was frightened, they believed it. After all, the prince's abilities were unpredictable and beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Since the Ming Dynasty kings were able to defeat the Donglu under the leadership of the crown prince, everyone naturally wanted to celebrate with wine and laughter.
The mainland is safe and has achieved an unprecedented victory. This is great news. More and more goods will be shipped to Chongguo in the future.
