Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 742 Haidong
"It's so cool!"

The leader of the eggless adventure fleet, Wang Xiang, was shirtless, and was cutting tree stumps with an ax in the sun. This eunuch, who was once a servant of the saint, held a heavy ax very lightly in his hand, and he could easily cut a tree stump in two or three strokes. Chipped into pickets.

Lin Xuewu, who was born as a scholar, knew clearly that the eunuch Wang usually looked very gentle, but he was actually very violent. It is said that when he was with the emperor, he often charged with a knife and was good at wielding two axes, so he died under his pair of axes. A lot of people.

This eunuch can't drink, once he drinks, it's like a different person.He was originally from the Liao Dynasty, and his family members died at the hands of the Tartars, so he hated the Tartars very much.

The one-eyed Lin Xuewu didn't know why this ferocious eunuch was in the Vanguard Fleet, but he knew that the usually smiling Prime Minister of the Dynasty should not be messed with casually.

"This place feels really good." He supported a wooden stake, and the long, black-faced Wang Qi hammered the wooden stake vigorously with a sledgehammer, driving the picket into the ground.

On the coast of Mokuwai, the pioneer adventure team is building a fence, and the thick stumps are driven into the ground, and a fence is forming.

Wang Qi is tall and dark-complexioned. He used to be a domestic slave of a gentry family in Taicang, Jiangnan, but later passed the exam for a scholar. The Qing army went south, and slaves changed everywhere in Jiangnan. Wang Qi single-handedly persuaded a slave to become an army and let them follow Raise the flag against the Qing Dynasty.

He joined forces with Wang Gongzhe, Zhu Feng, Chen Wenda, Feng Shengshun, etc. to attack the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River and captured a city. The Qing army besieged it. Wang Qi led a death squad to fight every day.

Later, he was hit by a stray bullet, and his body was scorched, but he still insisted on fighting. Seeing defeat, fortunately, Lu Jianguo led his troops to defeat the Qing army and rescued Wang Qi.

Wang Qi was rescued, but lost his left arm, which was fitted with an iron hook and joined the imperial camp.

The three disabled captains all have amazing pasts. Chao Xiang was originally a refugee from Liaodong, and later became a eunuch of Lu Wangfu, but he was a fierce man who could swing two axes on the battlefield.Lin Xuewu was also born as a scholar, but he was also a sharpshooter. Wang Qi was a scholar who was born as a serf, and was once the leader of the rebel army.

The camp was full of heat, and a banner of the sun and the moon was fluttering in the wind.

There are three big boats parked in the bay.

"Do you think this Haidong Jurchen can accept conferment?"

"There's no reason not to accept it."

"What if you don't accept it?"

"Fuck him!"

Mokuowei is a small fishing village, located next to the mouth of the Tumen River, adjacent to the East China Sea. There are two natural harbors in the bay. The vanguard fleets here are called East Harbor and West Harbor on the map.

The small fishing village is in Donggang, and now they are in Westport.

Less than ten miles to the west of Xigang, there is a Jurchen village, Liudao Paozi Village.Paozi is a small lake between forests and grasslands in Northeast China. It is called Paozi, and there are various sizes.

Between Donggang and Tumen River, under Laolongling, there are many paozi scattered, from Erdao Paozi to Jiudao Paozi, like a string of necklaces, with the river on one side and the mountain on the other, Mokuowei Bay across the mountain.

Not far upstream from Liudao Paozi is Hunchun City, which is located by the Hunchun River, a not-too-distant tributary of the Tumen River.

In the Tang Dynasty, Bohai State, the prosperous state of Haidong, established 62 prefectures with five capitals and fifteen prefectures. Among them, Longquan Prefecture in Tokyo and Longyuan County in Gyeongju were governed in Hunchun.

The Jurchens are called Hunchun, which means Hunchun in Chinese, and the Ming Dynasty set up the Hunchun Guard here, which has always been an important frontier fortress.

At the end of Ming Dynasty, it was owned by the Shu Mulu family.

Shu Mulu, the meaning of coral in the later Jin language, is said to have originated from Khitan. Yang Guli, one of the Eight Ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty, is a descendant of Lang Zhu, the head of the Huerka Department who lived in Hunchun.The Shu Mulu family belonged to Nurhachi, and then moved to Liaodong, and then entered the customs from Longlong, and achieved the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing.

On the banks of the Hunchun River, there is the Balian City in the Bohai Sea and the Wenhebuzha City in the Goguryeo Dynasty. There are also eight Karen outposts in the Hunchun area.

After the Jianzhou Jurchen moved away and the savage Jurchen moved to the south, the new Woji tribe here was relatively backward. The so-called cities were actually some fence cities, with fences as cities and thatched houses as houses.

Mainly hunting and fishing, but also mining ginseng, a small amount of breeding and planting.

The vanguard fleet of 500 people is not a lot of people, but in terms of combat effectiveness, not to mention the three captains who are more fierce than the other, even the 50 crew members, none of them are vegetarians, no matter whether they are sailors or cooks in the fleet. They were all retired from the imperial camp. Regardless of whether most of them were disabled or died at the age of [-] or [-], they were absolutely sturdy.

Not to mention the more than 100 cannons on the three large ships. Although they were anchored in Westport, they were moored scattered. They were three offshore forts.

With this level of combat power, if one or two thousand savage Jurchens come along, they will all be given away.Even if it comes [-] yuan, they are not afraid, as long as they erect the fence, they will be safe.

If they were given more time to set up a simple bastion on this delta along the Yihe River, it would not be something that the Jurchen could win.

A simple bastion is actually not difficult to repair. The key is artillery and firecrackers, as well as sufficient ammunition and food.

"If you want me to say, we don't need to worry so much about the savage Jurchens. We can frighten them directly with our strong boats and guns. We should sail the boat directly into the Tumen River, set up camp in Hunchun, summon the leaders of various ministries, and announce the decree Canonize, erect steles and stones, and then trade with them."

The fleet is a caravan under the name of the Royal Shaofu Supervisor, and the ginseng and fur of Liaodong are also their targets.

For this first stop, many people are quite optimistic, but the three captains all insisted on setting up their camp in Westport first, choosing this remote place instead of the habit of various ministries at the mouth of the Hunchun River and Tumen River. place of trading.

A few days later, Zhazhai took shape. A simple bastion appeared. Dozens of cannons were unloaded from the ship and equipped to various corner forts.

In front of the fort, many sharp piles were also laid.

It is too late to dig trenches for the time being, but already has a strong combat effectiveness, more than 500 people stationed.

Zhao Shijun was the first to visit this bastion.

"Back then, Nurhaci moved many wild Jurchens to the south to Jianzhou and Maoling, and compiled them into Niulu. He compiled Niulu for Haixi Jurchen and other ministries, basically all the conquered Hulun Sinara The tribes were broken up and compiled into various Niulu records, but the Jurchen savages who migrated to the south were more relaxed, and basically maintained the original tribal form.
The Haidong Jurchen here is composed of No.14 Zuoling, the fourth leader of the Xianghuang Banner, composed of local people from Ningguta, and the first leader of Zhengbai Banner, No. 13 Zuoling, No. 17 Zuoling, the third participating leader of the Xiangbai Banner composed of Varka people in the Muling River area, originally compiled eight Niulu, "

Zhao Shijun, who has been in Haidong for three years, is now a Jurchen expert. He knows the history of Jurchen and the current situation in recent years. He told the three captains in Mokuowei Castle in Xinxin City.

At that time, Nurhachi took advantage of the opportunity of avenging his ancestors and fathers, and in more than ten years, the Jianzhou Jurchen Sukesuhu tribe, Wanyan tribe, Zhechen tribe, Hunhe tribe, Dong'e tribe, Changbaishan tribe and the large and small numbers under their jurisdiction The ten tribes were all brought under their jurisdiction by the strategy of conquest or appeasement by force.

While using troops against the four tribes of Haixi Jurchen, Hulun, he also sent troops to crusade against the tribes of Haidong Jurchen many times.

Counting from the initial conquest of the Warka Tribe in the Muling River area, to the official establishment of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, Nurhaci has used troops against Haidong Jurchen for 20 years. The vast area in the northeast and eastern part of the lower reaches of the Dawusuli River is under its own jurisdiction.

After he unified the Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen, and Haidong Jurchen tribes, he turned his attention to the wild Jurchen tribes in Heilongjiang, the Sahalian tribe, the Shima tribe, and the Shilu tribe. It was the Sahalian tribe, followed by Saharcha, Shima tribe, Shilu tribe and more than a dozen tribes. After the conquest, many of their tribes moved south to Jianzhou.

Later, Huang Taiji divided Manchuria into Buddha Manchuria and Yicher Manchuria, namely Old Manchuria and New Manchuria.

Ningguta, New Manchuria in the Ula area of ​​Jilin, compiled a total of forty Niulu.In addition to New Manchuria, there are Heilongjiang Solon, Daur, Barhu Bannermen, Zuoling and so on.

"Now Haidong Ningguta and Hunchun area are dominated by New Manchuria, and there are also some Buddhist Manchuria, such as the Anchula Guerjia family, which was originally from Anchula City in Changbai Mountain. It is attached to the Yellow Banner and is stationed in Ningguta. The Sheri family, formerly the Hesheli part of Changbai Mountain, was attached to the Xianghuang Banner and stationed in Hunchun..."

Tumen River, Muling River and other places are all under the military administration, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria are all under the military registration. Every autumn, when a child is born, he must go to the Zuoling Office of the banner to register, and the general register of each banner is reported to the superior.Every three years, a list of the names of the three generations is made and reported to the household department.

Within a hundred miles of the banner weavers, they are free to farm and cultivate, and are not allowed to be merchants. Anyone who goes out of a hundred miles will be punished with the crime of escape.

Regardless of the number of households or the number of people, each ethnic group has one Mukunda (patriarch) who submits to the official office to manage the affairs of the clan.

The Jurchens are used to naming their clans after the mountains and rivers in the tribe where they live, which is quite different from the Han surnames.

"Although the Nurhachi and his sons moved the barbarian Jurchen southward to Haidong and organized them as the Niulu Li Banner, they are very different from Jianzhou Buddha Manchuria. They were conquered and moved southward, and they have no loyalty to the Qing court."

Zhao Shijun told the Chaos Prime Minister that he had traveled all the tribes along the Muling River in the Tumen River, and that the leaders of all the tribes were more active in abandoning the Qing Dynasty and joining the Ming Dynasty.

"The bastions, battleships, and cannons are enough to deter all ministries."

"How many commodities have you brought here? In addition to canonizing edicts, it is best to bring out some good things to trade ginseng, mink, cattle and horses with them."

When Chao Shijun heard that Zhao Shijun said that all the tribes here have turned to Daming, he was also relieved, and he patted his chest happily and said, "Lieutenant Zhao has worked hard, our three big ships are full of good things, salt, tea, tobacco, wine, tea, porcelain, and more. There are silks and cloths."

"Do you have any extra gunpowder for shotguns? They are very rare for these firearms. It would be a good gift if they could give some to the leaders of the various ministries."

"Yes, they want to give them some at that time. It's not a valuable thing anyway." Lin Xuewu said bluntly, they were not too worried about the threat to the court after the muskets flowed into the Jurchen tribe. There are not enough members, and they are actually not as threatening as the Jurchens' bows and javelins.

The cost of this thing is also extremely cheap in the Daming military factory. After mass production, a bird gun does not exceed two silver dollars, which is much cheaper than bows and arrows.

Savage Jurchens are rare treasures, so give them some, and you can exchange them for good things like ginseng and mink fur. When you go back with a few boats of fur and ginseng, it will be at least ten times and a hundred times more profitable. This business must be done.
