Li Yan made a good calculation and wanted to ask Yuzhu to take Zhang Xiaozhen out of North Korea. Only in this way can she save her life.
Because as long as Zhang Xiaozhen leaves Changdeokgung Palace, he will definitely die.
Yuzhu was an imperial envoy of the Qing Dynasty. No matter how courageous the powerful factions in North Korea were, they would not dare to attack Yuzhu.
More importantly, Li Yan had already heard that Yuzhu came with elite soldiers.
How could Yuzhu get involved in the party struggle in North Korea because his brain was not watered down?
"Your Majesty, I have been ordered by the emperor to patrol the north, and women are not allowed in the military camp." Yuzhu dismissed it completely, and the reason was fair and aboveboard.
The so-called conditions given by Li Yan were worthless in Yu Zhu's eyes!
There is no shortage of money or jade pillars at all. There is no shortage of food either.
Women? Hey, if Yuzhu wants to be a big stallion, will there still be a shortage of women?
In addition, Yuzhu intervened in the political situation of North Korea without authorization for the first time he led troops on an expedition.
Kangxi, who was very suspicious, would definitely think too much.
Therefore, even if Li Yan continued to increase the amount of money, Yuzhu kept his mouth shut until he left Changdeokgung Palace and never agreed to his request.
Passing through North Korea and coming to Seoul to meet Li Yin was just a matter of basic etiquette.
After meeting Li Yan, Yuzhu didn't even enter the "Muhua Pavilion". He took Niu Tai and his personal sentry and went straight to the official ship dock.
Muhua Pavilion is a pavilion that admires the great nation of China!
For hundreds of years, the Lee Dynasty's Joseon has always adhered to the vassal way, pursued the principle of "big things", and paid special attention to the suzerain-vassal relationship with the suzerain country.
In the seventh year of Emperor Taizong of the Joseon Dynasty, the Lee Dynasty imitated the "Guest House" of the Goryeo Dynasty in the capital and built the "Muhua Building" in the western suburbs of the capital Seoul.
Hotel.
There are two mahogany pillars in front of Muhua Hall, which are called "Yingzhao Gate". This is the prototype of the later Ying'en Gate.
Logically speaking, Yuzhu should settle in the "Muhua Pavilion" and accept the warm hospitality of North Korea.
However, Yuzhu didn't want to get involved in the political disputes in North Korea, so he boarded the ship and left.
As far as etiquette is concerned, it's okay if it's acceptable in terms of face.
Yuzhu was just a passing imperial envoy. He went to Seoul to meet Li Yan, and after being perfunctory enough to save face, it was over.
Even if Li Yan had a problem with Yuzhu, he secretly complained to Diao Zhu.
Hehe, instead of blaming Yuzhu, Kangxi would praise him for sticking to his duty and being very sensible!
Yuzhu left so gracefully without taking any clouds with him!
Half a month later, the fleet arrived at the mouth of the Tumen River.
At this time, the Tumen River was frozen.
The British sailors, who had rich sailing experience, found a suitable place to land, stopped the ship, and used several small boats towed by the stern to build a springboard for landing.
The landing place can only be used as a makeshift place, and it is far less convenient than the official ship pier in the capital.
As a result, it took less than a day to board the ship, but it took four full days to unload the ship.
Mainly because it was troublesome to unload the heavy artillery, which took a lot of effort and thought.
Fortunately, there were British sailors to help. Otherwise, E Min's men would have been in a terrible situation with the artillery falling into the sea.
Yuzhu has personally experienced it. The special sled covered with thick waterproof felt is large enough and has one or two charcoal basins inside. It is quite warm when sleeping.
The problem of the soldiers camping was solved smoothly.
The only drawback is that you can only sit or lie down inside this sled, but cannot stand.
Yuzhu was very worried about sending troops this time.
This time I went to the Rakshasa Kingdom. To be honest, the most important thing was how to keep warm, stay and eat, and fighting came second.
When fighting a war, we fight for logistical support.
The soldiers of the Wuwei camp all wore thick sheepskin jackets, dog-skin ear protection hats, sheepskin-cotton-wadding gloves on their hands, and high boots on their feet.
In addition, each person also has a small hand-warming copper stove, which can be used to warm hands and feet, which is very convenient.
In the carriage, there are one or two silver frost charcoal basins that are burning brightly.
There are only two shooting observation openings on the front of the sled, and the door opens on the back.
This avoids the disadvantages of ordinary carriages, which face the wind and cold wind always enters the carriage.
Yuzhu specifically asked the soldiers to leave at least one person on duty at any time. Every quarter of an hour, the observation port must be opened a small opening to let cold air into the compartment to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
As for the driver who drives the sled, his equipment is even more complete. He wears a cotton jacket inside, a thick sheepskin jacket outside, thick leather cotton gloves, thick cotton boots, thick dog skin ear protection hat, and a special cotton
The mask only exposes a pair of eyes.
Hehe, all the necessary cold-proof equipment is available.
To be honest, the amount of money and materials spent on such a small army is staggering.
Otherwise, how should I put it, fighting is just a waste of money?
As for the artillery armor of the firearms camp, they were all Kangxi's favorites, so they didn't need Yuzhu to worry about them at all.
Kangxi felt that the equipment customized by Yuzhu was very practical, so he directly ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make another copy for the artillery armor intact.
After the whole army landed, the silly dogs and sleds came in handy.
The sled pulling the heavy artillery seems to be extremely heavy. In fact, after everyone pushes it, as long as it slides smoothly, it only takes ten silly dogs to pull it easily.
Generally speaking, sliding friction has much greater resistance than rolling friction.
However, it is a different scene on the ice and snow. Now, what needs to be considered is the problem of being unable to stop in an emergency.
Winter is long, and the snow will not melt until May next year, which is still very early.
The silly dogs are dragging the sled truck. They don't need to go too fast. Thirty miles in half an hour is enough.
After setting off, it is impossible for the silly dogs to keep running. Every half an hour, there will be a quarter of an hour's rest, and the next group of silly dogs will continue to tow the truck.
This goes on and on.
As for the soldiers, hey, they were lying in the rickety carriage, half asleep and half awake.
Tired? It doesn’t exist!
Every half an hour, I get out of the car and stretch my muscles, legs and feet, and then get in the car and lie down, which feels very comfortable.
Unlike everyone else, Yuzhu, who was sitting in the carriage, did not wear gloves for the time being, but instead put his hands in his "sleeves."
Yuzhu's sleeves are specially made. They are made of sable fur mixed with silk and satin. Your hands are wrapped inside the sleeves, which is very warm.
When you need Yuzhu to sign a document, just extend your hand.
Silly dogs are only useful in Jilin and Heilongjiang. Further north in Siberia, where the snow is more than four feet deep, reindeer must be replaced.
Throughout the Qing Dynasty, only the Sauron tribe in the far north had a large number of reindeer. This is because the main food of reindeer is moss, and there is no moss to eat in the northeastern region where the latitude is too low.
The reindeer prepared by the emperor's decree are all in Yaksa City. However, Yuzhu still needs to go to Qiqihar City first to get the supply document from Heilongjiang General Boding.
Qiqihar City is the residence of the Heilongjiang generals and is currently the largest city within the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang.
Therefore, Yuzhu commanded his small group of troops to march north according to the agreed plan, with the goal of Qiqihar.
Yuzhu's small team had to pass through General Jilin's jurisdiction before going to Heilongjiang.
The area under the jurisdiction of General Jilin started from the current Tonghua City, along the South China Sea (Sea of Japan), to the Solon River next to the North Sea (Sea of Okhotsk), including Sakhalin Island.
In other words, the area under the jurisdiction of General Heilongjiang has no sea. The area under the jurisdiction of General Jilin is all sea.
The small team went north from the Tumen River Estuary, and their first stop was Hunchun Village. At this time, Hunchun Village was under the jurisdiction of the deputy capital of Ningguta.
The history of Hunchun can be traced back to the Neolithic Age. More than 4,000 years ago, during the Neolithic Age of primitive society, there are records of the Manchu ancestors, the "Sushen" tribe, thriving and living in Hunchun.
In the Ming Dynasty, Hunchun Guards were set up in Hunchun, which has always been regarded as an important border village.
After the Qing army entered the customs, Hunchun Acropolis was abandoned and turned into Hunchun Village, which had been in disrepair for a long time. Hunchun Village is currently the home of the Manchu Shumulu clan.
The Shumulu family, which means "coral" in Manchu, is one of the oldest Jurchen surnames. Eight people of the Shumulu family in the Qing Dynasty were biographed in the "Manuscript of Qing History", and they were all descendants of Lang Zhu, the minister of Hunchun and Huerkha.
Descendants.
It was freezing cold and there were no people on the road.
Yuzhu's small team has already arrived at the entrance of the village, and the defenders on the wall have not yet discovered them.
It wasn't until Lu Wu led his men and shouted in unison that the people on the wall were alerted.
There was no way, the Qing Dynasty had extremely strict control over the mobilization of troops and horses.
Even though Yuzhu has already led his troops outside, his small team must take the initiative to report to all the cities and villages they pass by on the way.
As long as you don't take the initiative to report, you will be regarded by the court as being suspected of treason.
As long as they don't get the customs clearance document stamped with the official seal of the Hunchun Village Assistant Leader, the next stop of the Mizhan Village will regard Yuzhu and others as rebels.
After waiting for a long time, Nazhen, the leader of the Xianglan banner in the village, appeared in front of Yuzhu with his people.
Shen Ling is a third-class official, and Yuzhu, a second-class shrimp, is only a fourth-class official. However, Yuzhu is the deputy imperial envoy, and is the first-level official.
After Nazhen went through the Ministry of War's fire tickets and various transfer procedures, he took the initiative to go down to Qian. After getting up, he touched Yuzhu's arms and gave him a shoulder-to-arm salute.
To be honest, the old bannermen who have not entered the customs are much simpler than the Eight Banners disciples in the customs.
At first glance, Nazhen, who is in his thirties, seems to be a man with a bold personality.
What Ling Yuzhu didn't expect was that Nazhen immediately ordered to kill five cows and thirty sheep. He wanted to reward his brothers who came from afar.
Unlike the Central Plains where cattle are not allowed to be killed, the old Manchus in Hunchun Village mainly make a living by fishing and hunting, and no one cultivates land.
Here, cattle are slaughtered casually and sheep are also one of the daily staple foods.
When sending troops abroad, due to the limited transport capacity of the sled, there were too many supplies to bring, so there was no wine in Yuzhu's team.
Therefore, when Na Chun ordered the people to bring the wine jars, E Min and others' eyes were red.
They all stared at Yuzhu like wolves, fearing that he would stop everyone from drinking.
