Ming Zuo

Chapter 528
With the arrival of the expedition team, the bay, which has never been set foot in the past, suddenly broke the thousand-year silence.

"This is really a treasure land of geomantic omen!"

While ordering to set up camp, Zhang Keda looked around and immediately fell in love with this place.

Bai Dasheng didn't have so much emotion.

"According to the map, there should be a tribe of Jurchens nearby. If the Tartars know about us, it will be dangerous."

Zhang Keda didn't have the slightest worry.

"The Tartars are all in the Liaoshen area, thousands of miles away. Even if there are still some Jurchens here, they are just small tribes that are not well established. How can they resist our soldiers?"

Bai Dasheng suddenly smiled, knowing that his worries were unnecessary.

The large troops on the shore began to set up camp, and a small team of about a hundred people paddled their sampans and began to advance towards the inland river.

The freshwater here in the bay blends with seawater and is not drinkable.If you want to get water, you have to go to the freshwater river upstream.

The second officer, Zheng Dayou, squatted in front of the sampan, keeping his musket in his hand, watching both sides of the river vigilantly.

In unfamiliar territory, you can never be too careful.

The river channel here is very strange, instead of converging gradually as usual, it suddenly becomes extremely narrow in the depths of the bay.

Zheng Dayou remembered the map and immediately made a judgment.

"This is not the mouth of Sahalian Ula."

According to the records they saw, the estuary of Sahalian Ula is a very wide area of ​​water, and Sahalian Ula is a big river not inferior to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

The river in front of me is no more than fifty meters wide and extremely shallow, making it impossible for lucky boats to pass through, completely inconsistent with the characteristics of Saharian Ula.

The team walked inward for about a mile, but found that the river was full of rocks, and the sampans could not pass through.

Zheng Dayou immediately made a decision.

"The first team is here to fetch water, the second team will follow me, let's continue to look inside."

They are an expedition team, and their real task is to conduct all-round investigations when they reach uncharted areas.

Taking advantage of the fact that the fleet is camping in the bay today, Zheng Dayou thought about doing as much exploration as possible in the depths of the land, so as to enrich the information.

The second team abandoned the boat and began to explore all the way inward along the land by the river.

In order to avoid getting lost, they did not leave the river, and this walk took more than an hour.

However, wherever he went, as far as his eyes could see, he found nothing except towering trees and some animals that were not afraid of people.

"Captain, this is probably the primeval forest."

Zheng Dayou was very disappointed, expecting to see some people.

Didn't it mean that there are Jurchen tribes nearby?

If he could take the opportunity to kill a few Tartars, he would brag about it when he went back.

The result is nothing.

"Let's go, go back the same way."

Seeing that it was getting late and the big guys were starving, Zheng Dayou was ready to call it a day.

The moment I turned around...

"boom……"

In the direction of the extreme west, the familiar sound of firecrackers suddenly came.

Zheng Dayou immediately turned into a smelly shark.

"follow me."

The second team also knew that they had encountered a new situation, so they didn't dare to be negligent, and followed Zheng Dayou one after another, rushing towards the west.

This run took another half an hour.

In the forest ahead, suddenly birds flew and beasts galloped.

This shows that something must have happened.

Zheng Dayou waved his hands and told the soldiers to hide on the spot.

After about a stick of incense, a loud and incomprehensible cry suddenly came from the place where the animals were panicking.

Immediately, Zheng Dayou saw two or three hundred Jurchens running wildly.Many of them were injured, and blood was sprinkled all over the road.

It was as if there was something terrifying behind them.

Zheng Dayou focused on observing and found that the weapons in the hands of these Jurchens were only knives, bows and arrows.The knives were iron, and the arrows of bows and arrows were even made of bone.

Such an advanced thing as a musket is obviously not something that these Jurchens who are still in the savage stage can have.

So……

Who is chasing and killing these Jurchens?

It didn't take long for him to guess. Behind these fleeing Jurchens, hundreds of people with various weapons were chased out.

These people were randomly wrapped in furs, and some wore cotton clothes. The weapons in their hands were knives, forks, swords, halberds, crossbows and muskets.

If it is on the battlefield in the Central Plains, even the peasant army's miscellaneous names can't compare.

But here, it is an overwhelming advantage to deal with the wildling Jurchen in the original stage.

These savage Jurchens did not know how long they had been chased, and they were already exhausted.When he ran to the river, he couldn't hide his figure even more because there were few trees.

The chasing soldiers behind greeted with muskets, bows and arrows, and dozens of these wild girls died.

Those who were still alive finally didn't dare to run anymore, knelt down and raised their hands in surrender.

The pursuers rushed forward, and the first one seemed very annoyed, and kicked a savage Jurchen to the ground.

"Damn it, I almost died of exhaustion."

Perhaps because of the heat from running, this person also took off the leather hat on his head, revealing his face.

Seeing this person's hair, Zheng Dayou immediately widened his eyes.

It's not the Jurchen's money rat tail, it still speaks Chinese, and the musket in its hand is still vaguely familiar.

So the identities of these people, isn't it ready to be revealed?

What is the purpose of the expedition fleet traveling thousands of miles, overcoming thorns and thorns, going through life and death?
Seeing the person on the other side at this moment is really worth all the hard work.

Zheng Dayou couldn't hold back any longer, and jumped out of the grass.

"Brothers, I have found you."

As soon as he came out, those people were very scared, and even bows and arrows were shot at him.

Fortunately, it was not close enough, the bow and arrow were not aimed, and did not hurt him.

The person who took off his hat also saw him clearly at this time.

Not to mention anything else, just the military uniform on his body made the man's tears fall down.

"Stop...stop...you all fucking stop."

After preventing other people from doing anything, he ran all the way to Zheng Dayou.A man like an iron tower cried like a child.

"You guys are really here... The minister really didn't lie to us... woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Encounter in a foreign land, love is better than gold.

Seeing these compatriots look like savages, Zheng Dayou also lost his composure.

"Shandong Navy Northward Expedition Detachment, second officer, Zheng Dayou."

The man in front of him quickly returned to the military salute.

"Liang Fa, deputy leader of the Liaodong Department of the New Army's intelligence department."

It was General Wu, Mang Gurtai and his party who ran northward that Zheng Dayou bumped into.

They crossed Sakhalian Ula in early February and then followed the river to the northeast.

Later, the river thawed, and both banks turned into swamps, making it impossible to walk on the road.

After discussing with Wu Jiang, Zhang Chun, Mang Gurtai and others, they decided to cut wood and build a ship, and then went down the river.

Just when they reached the vicinity of Buluwuwei, the soldiers who went out to collect firewood were attacked by Buluwuwei, and three people died on the spot.

General Wu and others were furious, and it happened that there were not many supplies, so they decided to attack Buluwuwei.

With the support of superior numbers and advanced weapons, the Bruuwuwei could not resist at all.

The tribal leaders were killed one after another, and the remnants fled eastward all the way. Liang Fa led his men in pursuit, but by coincidence, he bumped into Zheng Dayou, who was out on an expedition.

Two groups of Shandong people, Nuer Gandusi who was thousands of miles away, met by land and sea.
