Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 236 Sakhalin Islanders

Dozens of scruffy men with beards and animal skins tied around their waists stood in front of Chu Yun.And the ones who took the lead were of course the Donghai Jurchens that Chu Yun had sent back.These are fishermen on Sakhalin.

"You keep your word, thank you for your hard work." Chu Yun patted the arm of Donghai Jurchen encouragingly.Because these two-meter-high Donghai Jurchens are too tall, Chu Yun can't even pat them on the shoulder...

"My lord, we have come to Southern Liaoning this time not only to seek refuge with you, but also to borrow troops from you." Donghai Jurchen said in a low voice in not fluent Chinese.

"Borrow troops? Who are you Sakhalin Island going to use against?" Chu Yun was a little surprised.

At this time, there are not too many residents on Sakhalin Island, and Mao Zi has not yet attacked, so there should be no enemies, right?

"We were taken as captives by the Jinren before, and we didn't know the situation on the island. After we went back, we found that there were [-] Jinren's troops stationed on the island, and they received a large amount of costin, mink, otter, and seal skins every year. Now After Jin was wiped out by the adults, the group of Jin army knew that their country was destroyed, so they intensified their search for money and food from the island residents. Several tribes on the island rose up to resist, and many people have died." Donghai Jurchen said, " We want to borrow troops from the adults to destroy this golden army."

I see.Chu Yun did not expect that Houjin actually controlled a large area. Although he conquered Jianzhou and the West Sea Jurchen also surrendered, there were still Houjin's remnants in the territory of the East China Sea Jurchen.

"In fact, it coincides with my idea. Our Liao Liao army will set up a Siberian pioneer group, which will recover the Heilongjiang River Basin, Sakhalin Island, which is your island, and open up wastelands in the north. If you are willing to join, we will The army will be provided to help you restore order in Sakhalin Island," Chu Yun said.

"My lord, we are willing to join." Several Donghai Jurchen said.

"Okay, you guys rest in southern Liaoning for a while. The Siberia Pioneering Regiment won't be established in a short while. We need to select the most elite soldiers and those who are familiar with the terrain near the Heilongjiang River Basin." Chu Yun comforted dozens of people for the time being. Donghai Jurchen.

With them as guides, it will be much easier for the Liao Army to restore its jurisdiction over Sakhalin Island.

It's just the commander of the Siberian Pioneering Regiment, who should be sent to serve?
At present, the value of the Siberian Plain is not high. Sending a large number of troops may cause huge expenses and lead to financial constraints.The selection of personnel is also very important. Yang Tai, Liu Xingzuo and other brigade officers are each very important, and they are stationed in different important strategic positions.Chu Yun was really reluctant to let a brigade-level army go to open up wasteland in Siberia, which is currently sparsely populated.

"Zhao Youguang, who do you recommend? The Siberian Pioneering Regiment needs a leader and an army to go all the way to the Siberian plains and turn all the places we can reach into our territory?" Chu Yun asked Zhao Youguang, the military staff officer. asked.

"Uh... Maybe the [-]rd Infantry Battalion of the [-]th Infantry Brigade can do the job. Battalion Commander He Yi and staff officer Chen Xiaolian made a lot of achievements in the battle against Houjin and Xihai Jurchen. Marching is also possible." Zhao Youguang recommended.

Chu Yun thought of these two people. They once led troops to attack the stone fortress and took the lead in launching the decisive battle against Hou Jin. Chu Yun still remembered this clearly.

"It's a bit difficult for a battalion to pacify the East China Sea Jurchen. The entire fifth brigade can assist the third battalion to pacify the East China Sea Jurchen tribes, and then the third battalion can separate from the fifth brigade and advance to Sakhalin Island and the Siberian Plain alone. In this way, the number of troops invested can be reduced as much as possible." Chu Yun thought for a while, "Let someone inform He Yi and Chen Xiaolian to come to Jinzhou to accept new missions." Chu Yun said.

"Yes, I will immediately send someone to the Yehe Department of the Jurchen of the West Sea to inform He Yi and Chen Xiaolian who are stationed there."

More than 1000 people from the Yehe Division of the Xihai Jurchen and the Third Infantry Battalion were stationed nearby, so that the Yehe Division did not dare to move.In the last few battles, Ye He's troops have been terrified. They have repeatedly lost battles with the [-]rd Infantry Battalion, and even the base camp has been captured.He had no choice but to bow his head to the Liao army and exchanged his land.

The Yehe tribe grazing nearby looked at the heavily guarded barracks in awe.

"Our civil servants have already entered the Yehe Tribe and are taking over some of the powers of their Yehe Tribe nobles. As compensation, they still have a certain degree of autonomy." Chen Xiaolian picked up a cup of steaming tea.

"These Xihai Jurchens are also really tenacious. They just surrendered after repeated defeats, which caused us to lose some soldiers." He Yi said, "Maybe once our army leaves, they will rebel again."

"It shouldn't be. After all, many of their noble children were forcibly sent to the Academy of Sciences in southern Liaoning. In a certain sense, they were taken as hostages." Chen Xiaolian was quite optimistic.

While the two were talking, a messenger from Jinzhou conveyed the news that Chu Yun was going to summon them.

"The military chief summoned us in person?" He Yi and Chen Xiaolian looked at each other, "What could it be?"

There are not many opportunities to be personally summoned by Chu Yun in the Liao Army, and it usually means that there is a major military operation.After the two arranged their defense, they rushed back to Golden State day and night.

While waiting for the arrival of the two, Chu Yun was not idle. Based on his memory of historical maps, he drew a map of the later world.Although it is not precise, it is generally accurate. In this era, no one can compare to the map that Chu Yun draws based on his impression.

People from the military staff gathered around to look at the world map drawn by Chu Yun, which was very fresh.

"This area is the territory of our Ming Dynasty, and we are on this side, our territory is only so big." Chu Yun drew a small circle with his finger on the northeastern part of Asia on the map.

"My God, our Great Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven, the center of the world, and the territory is so small?" The military staff officers were all surprised, "It's not even one-tenth of the world.

"So don't close the country and be arrogant. There are still a lot of territories in this world waiting for us to conquer. Look at the vast plain in the north, called the Siberian Plain, which is several times the size of our current territory. Now there are a lot of land. Frozen soil is not suitable for human habitation, but it is very important to us in the future, and we need to control it in our hands. And the west side of the Siberian Plain is where we call Westerners live.” Chu Yun pointed to the road from the Siberian Plain to Europe .

"In the future, I want to build a large railway that is thousands of miles long, leading all the way to the West!"
