This time it was a little harder than the last time it was advancing into Sakhalin Island. After all, that time was in September and now it was the end of December, the coldest time.

The only thing better is that the Vladivostok Guards are no longer bare wilderness. They have built walls and military forts in advance, and have a hot Datong shop burned by coal stoves. Although the family members currently have only about 2,000 people, they are used as a bridgehead for Mao Jue to open up Heilongjiang, and the scale is only a little smaller than that of the Red Twin Cities, so it is no problem to live in tens of thousands of people.

But it's not so friendly to the Jurchens.

When Mao Jue led the army, outside the Vladivostok, tens of thousands of simple tents made of animal skins were buried in the bitter Northeast sword wind, and half of them were buried in the snow. Indigenous people wearing animal skin cloth were guarding the small fire outside the walls, and were trembling with hunger.

This is the most difficult time for many Heilongjiang tribes. The living conditions in this era are very harsh. The Ming Empire, which has been fully farmed and developed within the pass, are all displaced and hungry, not to mention the wild Heilongjiang basin. Every winter, the longest situation of each tribe is to find a small valley to shelter from the wind or to shrank in the simple wooden village where they live.

But this year, with Mao Jue's order, some tribes had to go to the Yalu River in advance since autumn, and the hunting period was shortened a lot, and a lot of food was consumed on the way. The bigger tribes could have a few days to store grain, while the smaller tribes had even lost food for a few days.

But this is exactly what Mao Jue wants. If you say that well, it is easy to add icing on the cake and a timely help. These tribes received the reward from Dongjiang at the most difficult time, which is unforgettable for them.

Moreover, the shortage of food in each tribe is also the easiest time to slaughter. What dares you to object? Okay, your tribe is hungry! Hunger can be regarded as the most powerful weapon in human history. When hungry is extremely hungry, people can eat it, let alone the old slave feudal system. Which tribe chief dares to resist Mao Jue? Mao Jue can make him full of majesty within two or three days, and even lose his head. It must be their own people.

As Mao Jue expected, he had just come down from the military port, and all the leaders of seventeen or eighteen tribes came over in a hurry, and they all cried and even seemed impatient.

Before the time travel, he was a small person. After this time travel, some nouveau riche's characteristics were withdrawn from a series of buildings hosted by Mao Jue. Each fortress must have a president-level office and a huge reception hall. Vladivostok Fort is no exception.

There were twelve braziers supported by three spirals in two rows. Although the entire hall was empty, dozens of square meters, it was also burned warm and bright. There was a golden chair in the middle. Not to mention, the guards guarded here were quite considerate. I don’t know when they hunted a Siberian tiger and made a tiger-skin mattress and placed it on the chair. With one hand on his chin, Mao Jue went there and was a big man, just like a mountain eagle.

Before Nurhaci, the Manchus had no choice but to be a nation. Just like Genghis Khan conquered Mongolia, he forced many tribes of different bloodlines and cultures to form a unified nation. However, before the Qing Dynasty was adjusted in more than 200 years in the pass, the cultural differences between different ethnic groups were still very strong.

For example, the tribal leader kneeling at the bottom in front of him had two small braids, some had one braid, some had bald braids in the middle, two small braids on both sides, some had three shaved on their heads, and one with a small braid was also a Jianzhou hairstyle, and there was only a golden rat tail left behind. But to be honest, the Jianzhou hairstyle was obviously not practical here, and the two bald braids had a blue forehead.

They were all wearing thick leather robes and holding their chests with their hands. All of these tribal chiefs stroked their left chests with their right hands and knelt forward with their right legs, which was a typical etiquette outside the gate.

"Meet the General of the Celestial Dynasty!"

Unfortunately, Mao Jue is not here to exchange the friendship between the Ming Dynasty and Jurchens. His face turned dark. He slapped the table suddenly and looked eloquent.

"In June, Heilongjiang Alliance, there are at most twenty-five Ussurijiang tribes who have visited me. Why are you the only 19 tribes who come to visit today? Is it a joke to think that my general's military orders are a joke?"

The words are not strong enough, but support the words. Since ancient times, there have been knives. Amid the creaking metal friction, the heroic female warrior Sakura's cold samurai's sword half-sheathed out of the sheath. The sound made the sound of several tribe leaders unable to help but drip downwards.

Why did Nurhaci get up? They came out by attacking various divisions, including the four divisions of Hulun, Hada, Ula, Huifa, and Yehe. Most of the Jurchens who were first enthroned since the Yongle period were either killed by the Jianzhou Jurchens or surrendered by the Bingfeng. How could these savage Jurchens compete?

Even Mao Jue was defeated by the powerful Qing Dynasty. The glory of the former Ming Dynasty seemed to emerge again on the land of Nuergandusi. Seeing that he was angry, the leaders of the tribe were even more trembling.

A bald scoundrel with wolf teeth on his head and two rat-tailed bald scoundrels should be considered the older leader of these savage Jurchens. The two crawled on the ground and kowtowed in front of them, talking mundane words.

"The generals of the Celestial Dynasty calmed down. Several members of the wild men in Beishan were afraid of the general's troops and crossed the deep mountains of Daxingan Mountains to the Yakut situation!"

He drew a simple map on the ground with his fingers. After taking a look, Mao Jue understood what was going on.

Even the savage Jurchens are divided into several pieces. For example, the Jurchens conquered by Mao Jue on Sakhalin Island are called Kuwu, and the one in the south is called Maoren, which is the Ainu people. They are next to the savage Jurchens in the Daxinganling Mountains of Inner Mongolia. The Oroqen people of almost the later generations have been hunting for a living all year round. They also have a unique skill, which is reindeer and deer rides. Although this group of Jurchens are far away, they are driven by deer, and the number of people in their tribe is the most common.

The Ussuri River Basin is called Qilimibu, which mainly makes a living by fishing and hunting. They also operate a little bit of primitive agriculture.

The farthest one is the wild people in Beishan. They live in the Outer Xing'an Mountains and the coast of the Okhotsk Sea, and make a living by hunting and fishing sea goods. This family has the longest distance to survive and there is no animal husbandry for driving. In half a year, they may have not arrived yet. They starved to death first, and they would die when they went south. They might have some livelihoods to escape north. The few wild people in Beishan naturally would not come.

Maybe they didn't even escape and just wore it on the spot. Anyway, Vladivostok is still 108,000 miles away from Beishan, so Mao Jue had to wait for a few years to deal with them.

Although it is understandable, Mao Jue has conquered this trip and made these natives afraid. He is not as exploring the attacks of indigenous mosquitoes as he has to face the gloomy face. Mao Jue turned his head without mercy and ordered Geng Zhongming, who led the army this time.

"I passed the order of the general that all the six savages in Beishan were listed as enemies of Dongjiang. Those who saw them were killed without mercy. Those who came to see them would be rewarded with one piece of cloth and one stone of food!"

This order made the kneeling savage Jurchen leader tremble, but then his eyes flashed with greed, fear and greed.

Such an order is the tendency to exterminate the clan! And the revenge between their tribes is at least done by real swords and guns. Mao Jue is simply killing you with money! Once this reward is issued, which tribe doesn’t want to earn some extra money? It’s simply that the entire Nurgan tribe has become enemies of the six tribes of Beishan. It would be strange if the clan is not exterminated.

The problem of this military order has been solved, but the actual needs of the Jurchen tribe below have not been solved. The tribe chiefs below are shaking their braids and looking at them like the rich man waiting for the mistress. But Mao Jue waved his hand on purpose.

"You go down! Three days later, an alliance will be held at the Weidong cliff of Vladivostok. Your ministries will present tribute to you. I will divide the grassland territory for you. You can do whatever you should do, go down!"

This is the end? A group of tribal leaders knelt on the ground and looked at each other in a vassal manner. The reason why they actively followed Mao Jue's orders and the whole clan gathered to Vladivostok Guards was, on the one hand, afraid of the power of the Dongjiang army, and on the other hand, they were also greedy for the tribute of the Ming Dynasty.

It is simply two different concepts with the tribute from the Ming Dynasty and the tribute from the Qing Dynasty! During the Jiajing period of Zhengde, in order to compete for trade with the Ming Dynasty, several Japanese daimyos were almost beaten and bloody. Some vassal states in Southeast Asia were not far away from tens of thousands of miles to come to the capital to pay tribute. The reason was no different. The tribute to the Ming Dynasty was a huge profit. If you take a dou of rice to pay tribute, the emperor could reward you with a piece of Juan. It was a sucker. Whoever tributes to the Ming Dynasty would make a fortune.

But what about the Qing Dynasty? Ethnic minorities started their own poor families, which was a jingling of poverty. Why did the Qing army have such strong combat effectiveness? In order to allow conquered areas to pay tribute to them after conquest, why did there be so many savage Jurchen tribes who fled to Maojue Kuye Town every year? It was completely because the Qing people sought tribute too ruthlessly.

But now it seems that Mao Jue collects tributes with the same virtue as the Qing Dynasty, and then sends them away. What is this?

What's more, the divisions are almost out of food now. If there is no reward from Dongjiang, they may not be able to survive this winter. It would be great if 70,000 to 80,000 people can have a third of them! It's really urgent. Just now, the leader of the two rat-tailed and half-baked guys just now knelt forward and kowtowed hard, screaming.

"General of the Celestial Dynasty, I wonder what the Celestial Dynasty rewards this time? We are ready to pay tribute to the local goods!"

As soon as Tongzhi said that, Mao Jue's face suddenly turned dark and his hand suddenly hit the armrest of the chair beside him.

"When you surrender to Jiannu, will Jiannu have rewards? Why, if you surrender to my Ming Dynasty, you won't pay tribute? I really think that my Ming Dynasty is easy to bully! Is guns and cannons unfavorable?"

"Come on, get on the cannon!"

The power came out of the gun, and the truth was within the range of the cannons. This time, it was to establish its authority. Artillery soldiers had already prepared the cannons. With Mao Jue's order, dozens of red cannons roared and sprayed onto the nameless peak of Mount Siehot in the distance. The savage Jurchen tribes, who were already full of resentment, wanted to make trouble. Seeing the roar, the huge snow peak fell down. The avalanche of the sky and the earth cracked was overwhelming like the end of the world, and everyone was almost scared.

After a round of artillery bombardment, the entire hall became silent.

Still want to treat me as the stupid head before? I felt proud and raised my legs, Mao Jue roared majestic again.

"Who else is dissatisfied?"

"If not, get out!"

It was like an old farmer who had suffered for thousands of years on the Loess Plateau. The leaders of the savage Jurchen tribes were walking heavily and moved out with difficulty. A great famine seemed to be in front of him.

Fortunately, Mao Jue came to conquer this time! He was not here to pay tribute. There were more than 80,000 people from the 19 tribes, all of which were the benefits of war between Dongjiang and the Qing Dynasty. How could Mao Jue see them starving to death?

Just as all the tribes were desperate, Mao Jue's lazy voice came from behind again.

"I forgot something! Dongjiang recruits troops and selects my Dongjiang personal army. They will give two stones of grain per month, one hundred canned boxes, one piece of cloth, one tael of silver, and one cigarette. Those who are registered in the garrison will be granted the position of garrison. The monthly salary is 20 taels, ten stones of grain, and ten pieces of cloth. When the soldiers in the garrison are not good, Dongjiang will provide relief, and they will share the salary with the personal army in wartime!"

Listening to the translator shouting loudly in several languages, he suddenly turned around and looked at Mao Jue sitting on a tiger-skin chair like a mountain eagle with his legs raised, a group of savage Jurchen chiefs seemed to have seen an angel, with halos on his head.

…………

This is also a psychological warfare! If the troops were directly disrupted and they were assigned to the Dongjiang household registration and military registration, these barbarians would definitely not be happy. After all, they are used to being leaders, so who would be willing to be younger brothers?

But if they forced them to the dead end, they would draw a way out for them. Even if the way out was full of poison, a group of guys would be happy to get in.

The alliance three days later was basically useless, because no matter which tribe, they were scrambling to join Dongjiang's household registration, and the recruitment quota for Mao Jue's personal corps was even more of a rush to fight for Mao Jue's personal corps.

The school grounds of Vladivostok are very lively. In the snow and ice, whether it is slaves or tribal nobles, they all bare their upper bodies, enduring the cold wind like a knife in the north, and standing motionless in the snow. This move not only tests physical fitness, but also tests discipline and obedience. Those who can persevere until the end are the soldiers that Dongjiang, a legion like a machine, needs the most.

However, wearing a pair of long whale leather boots, Mao Jue couldn't help but nod.

No wonder in history, when northern ethnic minorities moved south, they often easily defeated several times the army of the Central Plains dynasty. No wonder the Northern Viking Pirates could also defeat the Germanic barbarians in Western Europe and conquered Norman. In an extremely arduous and dangerous living environment, only one of the ten children could grow up. However, after experiencing the cruelest survival of the fittest in nature, most of the people who survived were strong and tough-willed, eighty thousand people, and Mao Jue could expand at least ten thousand troops. If the standards were lowered, it would not be impossible for 20,000 people.

However, this time, Mao Jue only planned to recruit 5,000 people first, and it was not a separate organization like the Dongjiang Horse Riding Team and the 3456th Regiment of Kuye Town. This time he brought sixteen regiments, and the newly recruited infantry must be disbanded and placed in the old troops of Dongjiang, and expanded into twenty-five regiments.

The Roman Empire was defeated by the rebellion of foreign auxiliary legions in the late period of the Roman Empire and the fall of Liaoyang City was related to the mutiny of the Mongolian army among the Ming army and the city gates were not open. Although we could not give up because of the choke, we still had to be prepared for it.

Most of the remaining savage Jurchen troops who were enrolled in the garrison army will not stay in Heilongjiang. In order to advance next spring, Mao Jue is preparing to transfer more than 50,000 guards in Dongjiang. The departure of these people just left the well-developed mountain village guards to them. No matter where they go, Mao Jue must ensure the advantages of Dongjiang. Moreover, this mixed lifestyle can ensure that these guys quickly integrate into Dongjiang culture.

Genghis Khan and Nurhaci did this back then, and now it’s Mao Jue’s turn!

"It's OK!"

The school owner Kong Youde ordered a few bamboo whistles and followed. The savage Jurchen, who had been frozen in the snow for two hours, was relieved and almost collapsed on the ground. But soon, they became lively again. In the heat, the cooking class in Dongjiang had already lifted the pot.

Canned fish, braised pork, and pork with corn flour and small tofu were boiled in a big pot. The hungry Jurchen soldiers were really pouring their stomachs like pigs. Looking at this scene, Mao Jue couldn't help but smile on his lips.
