They all suffered that the territory of the Ming Dynasty was a large circle smaller than that of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, the Ming Dynasty's rule in the northeast was only large. Since the veteran Feng Sheng and Fu Youde Lanyu came out of the northeast and defeated the Northern Yuan Taiwei Naha, the Ming Dynasty's dominance in the entire northeast was established, and the northern territory was all the way to the outer Xing'an Mountains. Not only the three northeastern provinces in later generations, a large part of the seizure of the Soviet Union were included, and they were almost reaching the Arctic Circle, all of which were under the jurisdiction of the Nuergandus. The leaders of various ethnic minorities were enthroned as guards by the Ming Dynasty, and the stars were densely spread over the vast wasteland. Many of them paid tribute every year and came to pay tribute every year.

At that time, the ancestors of the Jurchens in Jianzhou were still called Huli Gaimen, and they also survived on the other end of Heilongjiang. Among the many Ming vassals, they were too inconspicuous.

Nuergandusi also contains a large island, Kuye! It is the later Sakhalin Island, which is called Sahalin Island in Russia.

Those pirates also came from Sakhalin Island, with hairy faces and the same clan as the Hokkien people in Hokkaido, Japan. They were later called Ainu people, and their noses were collapsed and their ethnic minorities were particularly strong. The head owner should be the minority group of the Jurchen branch such as Ewenk and Nevkh.

It is indeed a cold place here. It can be a cold winter for half a year, but even if it only takes half a year, it is enough to cultivate for a season. When Mao Jue went to Heilongjiang to travel, he also heard about the fisheries, forests and gold mines here. The purple gold produced in Vladivostok is said to come from here. More importantly, it provides Mao Jue with a new expansion of living space.

Jilin, Heilongjiang, dare not explore now, so taking down the big island of Kuye first is to build a bridgehead for future advances. More importantly, it is possible to have room to accommodate more than 70,000 refugees in the pass to solve the urgent problem. These more than 100 heads have solved a huge problem for Mao Jue.

It seems that he is destined to not have the blessing of celebrating the New Year at home. He sent Sumu Yertai to return to Hamkyung Road first. Then Mao Jue began to pack his luggage at home and prepare for his journey north again.

Although this time is easier than the Japanese war, the places I go to are colder. Suyi and Yu Le'er, who have been out for a year, were enclosed at home. However, Adrena, who has been "unwell" since she returned to Dongjiang, was filled in on the list of accompanying her by Mao Jue.

He had to go out again after just a few days after he came back. The old man was so angry that he stamped his feet. Mao Jue set off, but Mao Wenlong simply didn't go out to see him off. He shook the old man in the back garden of the mansion and listened to the actor singing songs, while the three women were sent to the door respectfully.

"You are safe all the way, don't worry at home. I will take good care of the old master and take care of my sisters!"

After more than half a year of separation, Chen Jiao is now becoming more and more housewives. She bid farewell with two girls with red circles. She was dignified and steady, holding a heavy corner of her skirt, and she was very happy.

People's hearts are full of flesh. Looking at this girl, Mao Jue felt a little apology, and he put aside the past. At least after she entered the school, the Mao family was in order under her management. After the old man's family moved from Pi Island, they could not find any reason under her care. As a daughter-in-law, Chen Jiao really fulfilled her obligations. The Chen family also fulfilled her responsibility for helping the Central East River in the North Korea, but the last time she came back, she gave this girl a warning first.

Looking at her head lowered and her hair was covered with hair, her heart moved, and Mao Jue suddenly touched Chen Jiao's ears and started to speak in a low and rapid manner.

"I heard that the north produces purple gold. I will bring you some back this time and get a few gold hairpins, okay?"

For the first time, this tone was like a husband's taste for his wife, but Chen Jiao was stunned like a thunder strike. Looking at her dazed look, she couldn't help but smile at the corner of Mao Jue's mouth.

"That's all!"

The clean and neat way of taking the reins of Yingji, rolling over the horse, and waving to the relatives of Mao's family who were coming out to see him off. Mao Jue also smiled and waved his hand suddenly.

"I'm leaving!"

The hurried horse hooves ran out suddenly, which awakened Chen Jiao. A blush appeared on the pretty and delicate face of the lady in Jiangnan. She lifted the corner of her skirt again and squatted and saluted in the direction where Mao Jue left.

"Master, safe all the way!"

…………

This time when he went north, Mao Jue was not in a regiment. He just recruited the troops of the second-tier guards of each guard and fort along the way. He fought in Fusang. More than 30,000 Dongjiang troops and more than 6,000 Shandong soldiers have been working hard for a year. The right way is to be stable, and it is time for them to rest.

Besides, although this time it was considered a war, it was not of the same level when facing the enemy. Even the old and weak Sumu team with cold weapons could defeat the strongest barbarians and pirates in panic. So it was half-trained and equipped with muskets and bayonets. It should be no different. He went north and summoned militias to the north. When he was training the Dongjiang horseback team and the mountain-building coast, Mao Jue also assembled more than 2,000 troops.

Mao Jue wants to thank Mao Wenlong here. Although the old guy doesn't care about anything now, he seems to have a good life. But as long as he is there, Mao Jue will be relieved even if he fights to the horizon. No matter Kong Youde, Shen Shikui or Wen Meng are his old subordinates, and Mao Wenlong's prestige in Dongjiang cannot be replaced by anyone. Although he does not doubt the loyalty of his generals, if something really happens, Mao Wenlong is his strong backing, and he can suppress the scene at any time.

He arrived at the northernmost end of Hamkyung Road around mid-November, but he still delayed the eighth day of December. There was no way, Mao Jue's manpower and material resources were still invested in the south bank of Li's North Korea. The largest Xiongjin Shipyard was also there. Although the shipyard in Lutun Island has been opened, its manpower is only more than 1,000, and the wood has just begun to be hoarded. Now he can only build some small fishing boats, and ocean-going sea boats still have to be dispatched from Tieshan Port.

Although this time it is not too far away, Mao Jue has to bring a lot of things.

The cement-paved Dongjiang Avenue was filled with carriages. The Japanese rice that had just landed on the iron mountain was immediately pulled to the north coast. There were also seeds, full corn cobs, potato pieces, large bags of sweet potatoes, and some cars were filled with boxes of fat pigs. In the cold weather, pigs arched their noses out of the car railings, spitting out a mass of hot air, and some heard the sound of chickens from far away.

This was learned by Mao Jue and those Western colonists. At the beginning, there were no horses, pigs, goats, chickens and ducks on the American continent. These livestock were brought to America with Western sailors as extra meals, and finally reproduced and grew. Later, the North American Indian tribes, which had never had cavalry, developed into nomadic tribes because of the growth of the horse herd. This time, Mao Jue went north and took root.

In addition to these livestock seeds, there are also many industrial products. This time, I was not going to fight. The huge fleet of four first-class style battleships, thirty second-class battleships and fifty transport ships and fishing boats was only one-third of the original gunpowder base, and even half of the cannons were unloaded. The remaining space was filled with industrial products from Dongjiang, one sack of cement, steel bars refined from the Tieshan Mine, various tools, axes and chisel spinning trucks, and the largest number were coal blocks that could be called industrial black gold, and one truck after another. Compared with the Western colonists who developed the North American continent, Mao Jue had a complete range of martial arts skills. It is estimated that Magellan and Columbus would have red bleeding when they saw his fleet.

There were also 20,000 refugees from Guannei who fled to Tieshan this winter. Dongjiang was already considered a horizon for these Guannei people. This time, they were taken to the farther north. Everyone's faces were full of fear of the unknown.

Fortunately, these people were beaten a while ago, and Mao Jue specifically removed them. They negotiated with Song Xiance that more than a dozen refugee leaders and their confidants were revengeful Song Datou, who had made a revenge, went to dig coal. On one hand, the leader was lost, and on the other hand, the Dongjiang Junye was escorted with a bayonet and flintlock rifle. The refugees, who were just over 20,000, were carrying their luggage in an orderly manner and boarded the Dongjiang Fleet in rows.

Sumu Yertai really didn't lie. On the shore, the last time the battle between the Sumu tribe and the barbarian pirates was still on the beach. Three of the barbarian pirate warships were stranded here. It was a bit similar to the Viking pirates seen in the movie. This kind of ship is also a long ship built with wooden boards, fifteen to twenty meters, one mast to two masts, and a boat can sit about fifty people. However, compared to the Vikings, the skills of these Jurchen pirates have really regressed. At this end of the Sumu tribe's position in the distance, Mao Jue dug an arrow from the sand.

The arrow of the bluestone is half broken.

If this were placed in later generations, it would probably be locked in the museum to treasure it layer by layer. Looking at the marks of polishing on it, Mao Jue was also stunning.

However, a reminder sounded behind him.

"Judge, the people in the village are almost there. Lord Su Changmei Su ordered the officials to come and ask the emperor to board the ship."

The person who spoke was Luo Zhige. After all, Sakhalin Town will be alone in the future. It will be at least seven or eight days of contact. There must be a trustworthy manpower guarding there. He was promoted from the tun household and has also taken charge of Baimachengtun Town for several years. This time, Mao Jue entrusted him with an important task and will build two regiments on Sakhalin Island in the future, and both of them will be his leader.

Subconsciously looking north, large pieces of sail shadows calmly stopped playing on the edge of the pier built with cement into the water. Among them, Mao Jue was inseparable. The Black Pearl, which was painted with tung oil, was in the forefront. In front of the head of the Black Pearl brass Mazu statue, a beautiful figure was wrapped in a red skirt, looking at the sea in a daze. It was not Adrena or who?

This time the mission is not just about building a new colony! He threw the bluestone arrow behind him and slapped his hands. Mao Jue stretched easily.
Chapter completed!
