Sha Kuo's tone seemed relaxed because he never felt that the Russians had the courage to go south.

It is normal for the border to have friction. The old men usually don’t get any benefits when they go south to the pastures in the Beihaier Lake Basin.

From the perspective of defense, Sha Kuo was very confident in the Tianyue Army he brought out. As long as he dared to invade Xia Kingdom, the Tianyue Army would be punished even if it was far away.

The only thing that people don’t understand is why the Russians always like to go south to give up their heads, steal some cattle and sheep, and in turn they will lose their lives, which is not worth the loss.

"There are really abnormalities in the Russians. They are far away and there is no need to go south to find trouble."

Lu Zhou shook his head and said.

"Maybe they always like to loot and revenge. They have some ships that can come down from Yenisei.

Water transportation is convenient, so I thought I could get it for nothing...”

Shakuo thought about it and answered.

The Xia Kingdom and Tsarist Russia were on both sides of the Yenisei River, and the border communication line was very vague.

The main reason was that the Russians built fortresses in many river ports and river bays based on the abundant waters of Yenisei River. Tsarist Russian hunters and army had ships to fight.

Therefore, in the Central Siberian plains, especially the branch basin of the Yenisei River, Tsarist Russia left many fortresses, like nail houses, inserted into the middle of the territory of the Xia Kingdom.

Those who live in the fortress will often run to the place near Beihaier Lake to catch the autumn wind.

These people wanted to attack Xia Country Ranch, but they could not escape the Xia Country cavalry.

After all, Lu Zhou's control over the Tianyue Army was similar to that of Cossacks. Most of the land and ranches captured from the west were enfeoffed to the Tianyue Army and their families.

The people there are both military and civilians. When they encounter danger, they will soon gather their force to counterattack.

only.

According to the abnormal dynamics of Tsarist Russia during this period, the Tianyue Army has been investigating. Without the signs of the large army's actions, even the captured prisoners could not find out why.

On the surface, it really looks like the spontaneous action of Tsarist Russian herdsmen, who want to use water to go to Xiaguo ranch for free.

"Your Highness, please rest assured that even without the appearance of the Tsarist Russian army, the Tianyue Army is ready to fight at any time.

The fortress has been built in the basin of the west of Beihaier Lake, and the food and weapons have been stored. When necessary, they can fight back. They can even penetrate into the Western Siberian plains and push them horizontally..."

Shakuo answered carefully.

Look at this time again.

The beacon on the west side really calmed down a lot. I think this brief invasion was suppressed, and the whole process was not long.

"No matter what, the navy needs to practice as soon as possible.

We occupy Lake Behair, and the downstream is the Yenisei River.

As long as there are sufficient ships and warships, the fortresses of the Russians will be erased and will never suffer any future troubles..."

Lu Zhou turned around and his tone was unquestionable.

The people around, including Sha Kuo and Lao Zhang, all of them trembled and quickly bowed to take the order.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

After this short journey, the sky was completely dark.

The huge full moon rises high in the sky, which is spectacular.

Lu Zhou walked down from the steamboat and was about to return to the city, but happened to meet Huang Cheng's wife, Wu.

"Your Highness, how dare you ask where my master is?"

Wu looked lonely. She hadn't seen Huang Cheng in two years.

Since Lu Zhou arranged to build a railway, he has never been home to visit him in two years.

Lu Zhou looked at Wu's expression and felt a sense of guilt for Huang Cheng's family.

However, when Lu Zhou looked behind Wu, he saw Huang Cheng's other wives and concubines, Zhang, Liu, etc., and many grassland tribes.

Especially some women living on the grasslands, holding children in their arms, but they are wide and fat, and walk like the wind.

Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, and after all, he felt a little unbearable when he remembered Huang Cheng's "pain" two years ago.

After a while of silence, he still shook his head and pretended not to know: "Huang Cheng has been living in the wild for a long time and his whereabouts are uncertain.

Now I have to start taking charge of the area in Mobei again, and I don’t know where it is.”

Huang Cheng's wife and concubine looked at Xu San next to him.

Xu San shook his head quickly and denied:

"I don't know either!"

Huang Cheng's wives and concubines looked regretful, but they thanked the king and returned to the kitchen to prepare meals.

The Wu family and the others are extremely virtuous. The meals they prepared after Lu Zhou came to Tianyue City. A pot of fish soup can produce several flavors, and the dishes are not the same every day.

At night, Tianyue City Sleeping Palace.

Under a huge floor-to-ceiling window, Lu Zhou looked into the distance, and the crescent moon leaned comfortably on the soft chair, listening carefully to the experiences on the lake during the day.

"In short, the warships of Xia Kingdom still need to be built in large quantities now.

After a month or two, the steamship is mature, we may have the possibility of roaming Lake Beihaier.”

Lu Zhou described how huge the entire lake was. The crescent moon did not board the warship today, but just listened silently.

Xinyue held her head, stretched her waist long, walked to the table next to her, and picked up a bowl of fish soup.

Now Xinyue has no special longing for Beihaier Lake. She has once sailed on a small boat on the lake, but the depth of Beihaier Lake makes her feel uncomfortable.

Like most grassland people, the crescent moon still likes the feeling of stepping on the ground.

Moreover, if you want to enjoy the scenery, the bedroom in Tianyue City is the best place.

Outside the window is the vast world.

Looking down at the whole city from a high place, the bright moon is far away, and the careful layout of the craftsmen in Tianyue City is not as beautiful as the world.

“It’s time to go to Hetao.”

Xinyue suddenly said that they had been in Tianyue City for more than a month. If there were no accidents, Lu Zhou planned to spend the winter in Hetao this year.

As the plague in the Ming Dynasty began to rage and the political situation became increasingly turbulent, the focus of the Xia Kingdom would gradually shift to the south.

Moreover, after the ceremony of conferring concubines, Lu Zhou's continued acceptance of concubines should be put on the agenda.

"Indeed, although Tianyue City is good, it's time to continue the southern tour."

Lu Zhou nodded.

The development of the Hetao region is changing with each passing day and is a major area of ​​Xia Kingdom. As the master of the entire king, he rarely has time to go there.

This time, I should go over and visit it while the railway is opened.

Lu Zhou said, looking at the milky white fish soup in Xinyue's hand, he subconsciously took it, but Xinyue brought it to the side again.

"There is one more thing, you can't drink this soup."

Xinyue said with a smile.

"Why can't the princess drink, but I can't drink it?

Is there any poison in the soup?”

Lu Zhou pretended to be slightly angry.

"Huang Cheng's wife has something to do, and the soup is not cooked well tonight."

As soon as Xinyue finished speaking, Lu Zhou knew what was going on.

I think Huang Cheng is his wife who came to Xinyue to complain.

"Huang Cheng has been out for two years. His younger child has never seen his father since he was born, and the women are even more lonely..."

Xinyue said with some sympathy.

Lu Zhou finally served the fish soup at this time and tasted it slightly. Sure enough, the soup I made today was a bit bitter.

But when you think about it carefully, Huang Cheng has been out for more than two years, and even if he is weak, he should be restored.

"Well, let's ask someone to guide the Wu family and the others to go tomorrow. Huang Cheng is in the place of the Chechen Khan Village..."

Lu Zhou had to say casually in the end.

the next day.

Huang Cheng's nine wives and concubines, including big and small bags, took a carriage toward the center of Mobei.

Before leaving, I did not forget to be grateful to the king.

“It’s so pitiful…”

Xu San looked at Huang Cheng's wives and concubines and said.

"You think these women are suffering, too?"

Lu Zhou couldn't help asking.

Xu San shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I am pitiful Huang Cheng."

He married two more villas outside over the years.

Now there is a good show to watch..."
