"Your Majesty, we cannot sit idly by and we have to fight back against those Russians!"

"Otherwise, it would be much more difficult to drive them away when those Russians gain a foothold in this Northeast."

Zhang Guangfu, who had just cleaned up the battlefield and finished counting the results of the battle, frowned and suggested to Zhu Youxiao.

Then, Zhang Guangfu expressed his thoughts: load the North Sea Fleet with six leopard cruisers and dozens of large transport ships, and take the boat directly to the north from the Heilongjiang estuary on Miao Street.

Then sail on the Whale Sea, and you can land in a certain place for only one or two days. Then go north along the Ardan River and march with logistics supplies and supplies.

According to information, the Ardan River is also quite strange: it originated from the Outer Xing'an Mountains, but it flows northward!

The curved part of the Ardan River was impacted into an extremely fertile land called the Ardan Plain.

However, although this river is extremely magical, the freezing period is also very long every year. Fortunately, it has thawed now.

Of course, you can also go west through the Ardan Plain to the Dalena River, and then cross the Lena River to Yakutsk. However, in that case, the logistics and supplies of these tens of thousands of troops will be difficult to solve.

What Zhang Guangfu said makes sense, one set of plans after another.

Obviously, this guy put in a lot of effort in this expedition.

Zhu Youxiao quietly listened to his plan, nodded, and said with satisfaction, "Zhang Guangfu, your suggestions are very good."

He first confirmed the other party’s plan.

After all, there are not many such smart and visionary generals in the Ming New Army, and they deserve encouragement and praise. "However, since we have arrived here, we will simply divide the troops into two groups:

Along the way, 20,000 Marines cleared the indigenous people from the Amur River all the way north, marched through the Outer Xing'an Mountains, and finally arrived at the Ardan Plain and headed north."

"Although the journey is a little longer, the Marines are not afraid of hard work."

"Other route is led by your brother Zhang Guangzhe, leading 15,000 naval soldiers, leading half of the warships and transport ships of the North Sea Fleet, responsible for transporting military supplies, arrive at the Ardan River first, and then join the army soldiers and advance."

"I remember this military operation to attack the Russians will only last for one month. At that time, we must return to the newly built "Beida Port" at the northern end of Sakhalin Island."

"No matter how you fight, how much military achievements you can achieve, it depends on your brothers!"

Zhu Youxiao considered the gains and losses, agreed with Zhang Guangfu's suggestion, and simply led the soldiers of the 20,000 land war brigade to set off from Miao Street.

The soldiers carried a month's food, salt, wine and other military supplies, crossed the Outer Xing'an Mountains along the estuary of the Xilinmudi River, marched towards the Nuyamka River Basin, and then headed north along the Ardan River.

The main purpose of his northern expedition was to occupy the Great Northeast first and curb the massive expansion of the Tsarist Empire. Of course, he would not oppose Zhang Guangfu's plan of counterattack.

However, because the Southern Ming Puppet Dynasty was too big, the time for the Northern Expedition was indeed very tight, so we must explain it to Zhang Guangfu so that they would not miss the real big thing.

Anyway, in the Great Northeast region today, Lu Xiangsheng's Qinglong Legion and Lu Jiude's two brave guards are undergoing a large-scale mobilization from south to north.

Even without the intervention of the Royal North Sea Fleet, it would be possible to control and occupy the entire East and West Siberia, including the Great Northeast, within at most half a year.

At that time, any enemies in the East and West Siberia region, including the Russians, will be cleaned up without any accidents.

After all, the army is more professional in the big sweep, not to mention that it is a big sweep initiated by hundreds of thousands of troops.

Although a total of 35,000 soldiers from the North Sea Fleet were divided into two groups and went to expel and destroy the Russians.

However, in addition to the 15,000 soldiers who were left behind by Sea Cucumber and Sakhalin Island, there were also 40,000 soldiers from the North Sea Fleet who entered the Heilongjiang River Basin.

These naval soldiers were enough to clear the Heilongjiang and Ussuri River basins.

But in this way, time will be tight, and you have to hurry up and hurry up.

One day later, the soldiers of the North Sea Fleet divided into two groups and moved towards their respective destinations and carried out their respective military operations.

As time just entered mid-May, Zhu Youxiao led 40,000 soldiers of the North Sea Fleet to finally arrive in the hinterland of the Great Northeast and successfully met with Lu Jiude's First Corps of the Brave Guards in Hailanpao. 202 E-book

...

This big northeastern is due to the climate influence of the Little Ice Age, which leads to a very cold outside the pass.

During this period, the frost-free period of this area was extremely short, which seriously affected the production of grain outside the gates and the development of the farming economy.

This also led to the fact that the grain produced by various barbarian tribes throughout the year was not enough to meet their needs.

This is also the main reason why these scattered tribes have been fighting each other again and again over the years and launched plunder wars.

They can use war to obtain food or wealth from each other, and then use this wealth to purchase food, cloth and other daily necessities from merchants in the pass.

Even they have made strict regulations on the types of products they imported, and they do not have any luxury goods they enjoy, and only purchase their daily necessities.

Now that the Ming Empire is rising strongly, let alone the "grass valley" that wants to enter the pass, it is no longer possible to work, even the merchants who come to trade materials are gone!

However, they were helpless because they would never dare to scratch the tiger beards of the Ming Empire again.

However, their insufficient food production has also led to the rapid development of severe food shortages in all tribes in the Northeast over the past six months.

Although tribes of all sizes are trying to accumulate their own tribe’s food resources, the “frost-free period” is too short, which limits their grain output.

In addition, the tribes in the northeast are not good at farming and labour, and their main food rations are hunting and fishing, so they can never fundamentally solve the problem of food.

This is also the reason why the wild boar Pi Nurhaci slaughtered the Han people outside the pass: it was precisely because of the insufficient food outside the pass that the wild boar Pi had come up with such a careless way to survive and grow in the Later Jin Dynasty.

He slaughtered millions of people from outside the pass to reduce their vassals and save food. Even the traitors who first defected to the Tartars were almost killed together, which shows the degree of food tension outside the pass at that time.

Now that the Ming Empire is coming in large numbers, there is a serious shortage of food outside the pass, and even a large number of tribes starving to death.

Therefore, the Ming Empire is now carrying out a large-scale mobilization of the Northeast, with bread and sticks in one hand.

One thing is to keep three meals a day to make you full, and you just need to follow the arrangements to do your work.

The other hand is a sharp butcher knife, and anyone who resists stubbornly will be killed.

As a result, countless tribes, villages, and villages in the Northeast, who were hungry and pale, surrendered in a hurry when the army of the Ming Empire arrived.

After a full meal, everyone joined the Royal Construction Brigade happily and worked extremely hard.

In this way, Lu Jiude's two brave guards corpses went extremely smoothly.

It took him only two months to fully control the entire East Siberia, including the Great Northeast, with the soldiers of the Qinglong Legion and the North Sea Fleet.

This area, which is comparable to the total area of ​​the Ming Empire, has become an integral part of the Ming Empire.

Such achievements in expanding territory are unprecedented in ancient and modern times, and are the first experience of the Han Empire since its creation!

There is no doubt that whether it is Lu Jiude, Lu Xiangsheng, Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Guangzhe, Zhang Guangfu and others, it is 100% certain that it is left with a name in history.

In early June, this huge sweep finally came to an end.

East and West Siberia, including the entire Northeast, has all fallen into the embrace of the Ming Empire.

Even the super official roads, the first built main roads, run through the entire area of ​​this area!

Today, the East Siberia Branch of the Royal Ming Dynasty Construction Company has nearly 10 million people and is working vigorously. Even the 10,000 ecological farmhouse has been built in this huge area!

A huge East-West Siberian region can already achieve self-sufficiency for tens of millions of people.

Living and working in peace is no longer a legend or a dream.
