Xinshun 1730

Chapter 47 Encircle the ground first
The lead bullets flying out of the scorching gun barrel are not round.

And it is like smoking after a cold, coughing up large sticky phlegm that is stained black by smoke.

The half-melted lead bullets, like sticky phlegm, stuck to the Cossack's face like pasting pancakes.

Before the smoke cleared, the tribesmen on both sides of the ice castle rushed out under the leadership of the two whistlers.

Based on his intuition, Du Feng felt that he had been shot and killed, but he didn't feel much.

It is indeed a bit disgusting, but it is more caused by the smell of blood.

The thick bloody smell is a little sweet and a little smelly. This strange smell mixed together is like a brush scratching his throat.

Saliva was constantly being produced under the tongue, trying to suppress the urge to spit it out.

He grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth, barely dispelling the sweet and fishy smell in his mouth.

He didn't move for a long time, until someone ran over and told him that the battle was over.

A few Cossacks ran into the woods, and the tribe's hunters were chasing them.

A few were captured, and the remaining wounded were all repaired out of good intentions and compassion.

Otherwise, in such a cold day, blood sticking to the ice surface, unable to move and freezing to death, would be quite pitiful, it would be better to cut off the headache quickly.

Those veterans who followed Liu Yu may have never fought such a comfortable battle in their life.Originally, I just thought that Liu Yu was a good official, worthy of love and admiration, but after this battle, I suddenly gained more than ten catties of awe, which was about as heavy as a head.

There was nothing to talk about during the battle, the salvo within ten meters directly knocked down the Rakshasa people.All that's left is to chase and flee.

Du Feng also ran over from a distance soon, and replied proudly: "My lord, fortunately I did not disgrace my life. The Raksha people's cannons have been taken by us. My lord, those Raksha people really did what you expected .”

Liu Yu looked at Du Feng's attire, and wondered, "Why are you wearing so many jackets? Be an armor?"

"Uh……"

Du Feng really didn't have the nerve to say that he dressed like this because he was frightened by those stupid dogs whose masters were killed and didn't know how to take revenge, so he smiled to cover it up.

The three cannons were also brought over by him, and Liu Yu kicked them twice, and shook his head slightly with two clicks.

The caliber is too small, and there is no field gun mount. It is estimated that it is a leather gun eliminated by Sweden?
Du Feng was thinking about Liu Yu's complaints about "playing chess with stinky chess baskets". Du Feng didn't quite understand, and asked, "My lord, the Raksha people also use light artillery. So, the Raksha people are also playing with stinky chess baskets." Have you played too much chess?"

Liu Yu let out a hey, and said with a wry smile: "This is not the elite of the fifth battalion of Luocha, but some soldiers from the frontier. The Luocha people are on the west side, and the people who play chess together are not stinky chess baskets."

"Your Excellency said that the experience of fighting Southwest chieftains, and using more light guns without gun mounts is not only useless, but harmful. But my lord, the patients of the country, one is the Northwest, the second is the Southwest Chieftain, and the third is the Raksha Kingdom. Yes. The others, like North Korea, are all dutiful sons. According to what my lord said, the Raksha people play chess with masters in the west, and it won’t be too bad. But the problem is that the country is here, and there are no chess players to fight against each other. Has your lord ever Have you ever heard of the dragon-slaying technique? Even if you learn the dragon-slaying technique, if you don’t have any dragons to use, isn’t it for nothing?”

Liu Yu sighed: "That's right. There are no dragons to kill for now, but there are evil dragons that have grown up and will fly over sooner or later. Now that there are no dragons, it is difficult for the court to have the heart to learn; wait until the evil dragons fly, and then learn." Where is there still time? All my worries are here."

Seeing that Liu Yu was worried, Du Feng felt a little admiration in his heart.

After thinking about it again, Fan Zhongyan can say "If you are at a high temple, you will worry", that person is the prime minister.Mr. Liu can more or less say the same thing, his father is the Duke of the state, and I am just a white body now, why do I think so much?

The ministers of the court said a lot: Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and they shouted loudly, but I have lived in Handoli Acropolis for more than ten years, and I have never seen a son of a minister come to such a place on his own initiative.

Du Feng has not yet grown up, and he still has the unique rebelliousness of young people.I have also personally experienced being "defeated by the sled dogs" by those sled dogs, and I always feel that Liu Yu is also an alarmist?

Those Xiyi people, wouldn't they be like those sled dogs?

Looks like a wolf, but actually can't bite people at all?

Seeing that Du Feng was lowering his head and wondering what he was thinking there, Liu Yu thought that Du Feng was still obsessed with making meritorious deeds, so he said, "Okay, you go down first. I will write down the meritorious deeds for taking the cannon."

"Thank you sir."

After saluting and retreating, Liu Yu didn't look at the messy corpses on the battlefield, but came to the vicinity of those tribesmen.

After this battle, in the eyes of these tribesmen, the Celestial Dynasty is like a god.

In their view, the "evil ghost" who could not resist at all died instantly.

The legends of those years have actually come true.When I looked at Liu Yu again, it was like watching the gods descend to earth, each one trembling with fear.

Liu Yu deliberately asked these people to send a few people to follow him back, and said: "You are the tribute ministers of the Celestial Dynasty. It's just that it is difficult to pay tribute since the year of Xuande. If you follow me to the Celestial Dynasty and pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, there will naturally be a Son of Heaven in the future Protection, so I won’t be afraid of those evil spirits. I don’t know what you have here, but since it’s a tribute, it’s enough to show your heart.”

He didn't know how the translator translated it. According to the Celestial Dynasty system, paying tribute to the Celestial Dynasty would cost money.

But... Cloth, silk, porcelain, these things can be reproduced if they are gone.

And the land can no longer be reproduced.

The tributary system lasted to the end, and it could be integrated into the Westphalian system in another form.Even if it is the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", the first article is neither to lose money nor to Taiwan, but to recognize that North Korea broke away from the tributary system and became an independent country.

From the perspective of land and legal principles, it is worth losing a little silk for a year.

Anyway, these people may not be able to see the emperor, but if they go to the Songhua River defense envoy to hand over the tribute, and the emperor will give a little, these people will be very happy.

The elders in the tribe remembered the ancient legends, nothing more than walrus ivory and mink fur, and there were many in the tribe.It is really worth it to exchange this little thing for the protection of the emperor.

After a little deliberation, it was decided that two young men from each tribe would follow Liu Yu with tribute.

Liu Yu then asked which other tribes were around, and selected a few from the tribe who knew the way.

At dinner time, all the Rakshasa were either dead or captured, and there was no escape in this weather.These tribal people are not good at fighting in formation, but they are very capable of finding traces, arresting and escaping.

After inquiring, I found out that these people had a winter camp in the north.This time, I felt that the slaughter tribe could get furs, so all the Cossacks came, and there were only a few women left in the winter camp.

The gunners were not from this batch of Cossacks, but were invited from Okhotsk.You don't need to participate in hand-to-hand combat, you can share the money just by being responsible for shooting guns.

After asking about it, Liu Yu felt relieved.There are too many Cossacks who die in this kind of place every year, one more is not too many, and one is missing. Most of these Cossacks act spontaneously and will not arouse official alert.At least not this year.

After counting, a total of sixteen prisoners were captured.A few Cossacks, and the rest are naturalized tribesmen.

Du Feng suggested in a low voice: "My lord, you can kill them. It will be difficult and dangerous for us to go back. These people will be divided into guards and food."

Liu Yu nodded and shook his head.

He thought the same as Du Feng on this point, and it was really troublesome to take it back.But as for killing...sometimes, people who are mortal are also useful.

After boiling the ink, I took out paper and wrote dozens of pieces of paper, on which there was only one sentence: The local area is protected by China, and I will pay tribute to China.

"In this way, Du Feng, you take people to take over the winter camp that the Raksha people mentioned. Check out the tribes along the way. I guess they have the heart to resist Raksha, but they have no courage. Take the prisoners to Turn around a few times and let the people from the tribe here blow it for us."

"Those who are willing to submit to the tribute, give them the paper and tell them that they don't have to give Rakshasa teeth in the future. Let them send out two more people, bring walrus ivory or other messy things, and follow me back."

"After taking the captives around, the tribes that are willing to pay tribute, then leave some commemorations on these 'evil ghosts'. Whether it is fingers or ears, let's see how many tribes there are. Try to let every tribe that is willing to pay tribute, A little blood."

"I have something to do, come to the Songhua River to find the ministers of the emperor. I guess the news will spread in a few years. People here are dissatisfied, and people in the north are probably also dissatisfied. Let them make a fuss. Anyway, our heavenly dynasty has a large land and abundant resources. Raksha people are ruthless, so let’s be gentle. First bury the thorns, and we can decide whether we need it in the future.”

Du Feng was ordered to do it, and Liu Yu continued to lead people to draw maps along the coastline.

Several people were sent to Sakhalin Island from a strait tens of miles wide while the winter was freezing, smashed the Orthodox Cross on it, and inserted a piece of wood to declare.

Those who stayed in the tribe's camp collected some shells left over from the tribe's eating and burned some lime.I marinated those sacks of human heads with lime and salt, and waited to go back to exchange for money.

I have been tossing until the end of February of the second year, and the things that should be done are almost done.

Du Feng destroyed the Raksha people's winter camp, and went to several tribes along the way, and the parts of those Raksha people became bone tools of various tribes.

Including those around the downstream, a total of more than 40 tribes received the paper.

Two people came out of one tribe, and on March [-]th, Liu Yu and those tribesmen held a sacrifice at Yongning Temple, and made an oath not to betray.

After offering sacrifices to heaven, there were one hundred and ten more people in the team, and they returned with Liu Yu.

Along the way, some tribes were gathered together, and they all sent people to follow Liu Yu. Taking advantage of the good winter, they finally returned to the campsite where they had been stationed at the beginning when the snow started to melt in April.

The people brought by Jiaolaobutu have not come back yet, and the people in the camp are the same as the people led by Liu Yu, not much different from the savages.

He was unshaven, his face was covered with oil, and his fur coat and hat were covered with black putty.Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally look forward to the day when I go home. Even though I have been reduced to this appearance, there are still thunderous cheers.

Everyone thought that as long as Jiaolaobutu returned, he could go back.

However, Liu Yu didn't think so.

The reason why he chose to camp here, and because Jiaolaobutu had to come back before June, all his plans were for one person—Vitas Bering.

In other words, for the map of Siberia and the Heilongjiang River Basin in Bering's hands.

Since Stepanovsk has ships, Bering must go down the Heilongjiang River.The Japanese with him made Liu Yu judge that Bering was going to enter the sea from Heilongjiang to find a route to Japan.

From the stories of the tribes near Sakhalin Island, we can know that the Japanese did come here before.

In fact, in the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Matsumae Domain sent Sato Kamo Zaemon to come.

If the borders were not shrunk during the Xuande period and continued according to the tributary system, it is likely to develop a fur-tributary-silk reward-Japanese groceries trade line.

But because after Xuande, even if the Nuer Gandusi was recruited, when the Japanese came here in the seventh year of Chongzhen, they found that there was really nothing to trade, so they let it go.These tribes have also lost the opportunity to communicate with the outside world until now.

In theory, it must be true, you can go to Japan here, after Sakhalin Island is Hokkaido.

When talking and laughing with Hannibal in Luocha Castle before, Liu Yu cared about Bering and Chuanbingwei, and it can be deduced from side-by-sides that Bering must go to sea.

I chose this place because Heilongjiang has left many sandbars and river islands here, making the river relatively narrow.

If it cannot be outsmarted, it is also beneficial to rely on a strong attack on Shazhou Island.

In any case, to snatch the ship and seize Bering, it doesn't matter whether it is coercion or coercion.

If you have a picture, you can take a picture, if you don't have a picture, you can draw it now.
