Farewell to his relatives, King Zhu Ruofeng of Yu led his army to the expedition. He was reluctant to leave his relatives and longed for the future. The young man's blood is hot. After graduating from the Royal Naval Academy of the Ming Dynasty, he has been yearning to command. A large fleet crossed the sea, but unexpectedly it commanded a land division. However, the heroic spirit of waving in the wind and commanding the wind and clouds was the same.
The soldiers and horses sent by Emperor Guangwu to his third son were all elite soldiers and generals, including Wu Jingbo Wang Guoxi, general Chen Shangchuan, Li Shiyuan, Deng Yao, etc., who among them were not killed from among the dead? The soldiers lined up and had a murderous aura. The wind whistles, the horse roars, and the sword energy is like frost.
Outside the Taiping Gate in the North City of Nanjing, Yu Chaoxiang, Minister of the Ministry of War, was ordered by Emperor Guangwu to see off the King of Yu. After the ceremony was completed, Zhu Ruofeng sat on his horse and said to Yu Chaoxiang, "Da Sima (the honorific title of the Minister of War), please come back."
Prime Minister Yu was busy bowing at the city gate, "I wish His Highness the King of Yu a triumphant victory!"
Ruofeng was riding a horse and was about to start, when he heard a cry from outside the door, "Third brother!"
He reined in the horse and saw that it was his eldest brother, the Crown Prince Zhu Ruoji. Ruoji ignored the etiquette and ran towards him. He ran so fast that he even lost one of his shoes. Regardless, he came to Ruofeng's horse. Panting, he said: "Third brother, eldest brother is here to see you off."
Zhu Ruofeng was moved in his heart. After all, he is his biological brother. They are connected by flesh and blood. This friendship is really deeper than the sea! He quickly got off his horse and saluted, "Brother, the emperor is the crown prince of the country. How can I condescend to see my younger brother?"< /p>
"Third brother, during this northern expedition, the battlefield is dangerous, so be careful!" Zhu Ruoji warned.
Zhu Ruofeng smiled naively, "Brother, don't worry, brother Yu will definitely take good care of himself."
"Well, third brother, you can put this on."
Zhu Ruoji took off his mink shawl and put it on his younger brother, "It's bitterly cold in northern Xinjiang, so be sure to keep warm!"
Zhu Ruofeng's eyes were moist, and he said goodbye to his eldest brother reluctantly.
This scene of brothers and sisters respectfully spread to the Palace of Qianqing. The old emperor was very happy when he heard about it. He always thought that Ji'er's temper was a bit sinister, but he didn't expect that he cared so much for his younger brother. Good! This is what brothers should do. That's it! It seems that Ji'er is just a little dull, not a sinister bird of prey. He thinks too much!
No father wants to think of his son as a bad person. Although Emperor Guangwu was reluctant to delegate power to his eldest son and deliberately supported King Ji and King Yu to check and balance the prince, this did not mean that he was willing to see their brothers fighting each other. No. , absolutely! Deep in the heart of the old father, he hopes that his three sons will love each other.
The crown prince undressed his younger brother and sent him off, which made Emperor Guangwu very happy.

"This is the Zhongkore Mask Fort built by the Rakshasa people? The location was chosen well. It strangles the heart of the Kolyma River. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack." Lin Xingzhu, the commander-in-chief of Nerchinsk of the Ming Dynasty, boarded the Zhongkore Mask Muskburg inspects, this city is now his prize.
"In the main town, the Rakshasa ghosts built three winter camps in Upper, Middle, and Lower Middle Kolymask along the Kolyma River. They were all inhabited by their immigrants from the Rakshasa Kingdom. Among them, only the Zhongke
Remusk built a fort, and the other two places just built wooden villages," Abuzhida explained with a smile.
"Well, there are also talented people among the Rakshasa people. They know that the geographical location of Kolymask is more important than the other two places." Lin Xingzhu nodded and said that Hilidege, Abuzhida, Nomenf, and Tal
The generals of Gujin said: "Get ready, and we will march to Anadelburg with our troops tomorrow morning."
Hillidegg frowned slightly and said, "Headquarters, our sons are exhausted from fighting for a long time. Do you want to rest for a few days before marching?"
Lin Xingzhu looked at Xili Dege with a smile, and his warm eyes made him feel very warm, "I know that you are working hard, but the enemy is working harder. So we must work hard, use fast to fight slow, and do not give the enemy time to regroup. I listen.
It is said that the Chukotka area is the easternmost part of the world, the easternmost part of the world. There are thousands of households in Hillideg. Are you willing to take me to appreciate this beautiful scenery?"
On the surface, this is a request, but in fact it represents trust. Let Hilidegg lead him to the east pole of the earth, which means using him as a pioneer. Pioneers open roads over mountains and fill bridges when encountering water, but they are not warriors.
Cannot be used as.
Hillidegg was very moved. Since returning to the Ming Dynasty, he had always seen the generals of the Ming army trying to flatter him. Although they were very polite to him, he could feel their contempt and arrogance in their bones. The generals of the Chinese Dynasty looked down on the barbarians.
Chiefs were very common in the Ming Dynasty at this time. But Mr. Lin was different. He felt that Mr. Lin truly regarded him as a friend.
Scholars die for those who know themselves. Even among the barbarians, there are still scholars. He shouted: "The general is willing to lead his headquarters as a vanguard. After wiping Chukotka, he must accompany the general to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the east end of the world."

The word "world" comes from Buddhist scriptures. Shi refers to time and boundary refers to space. The "world" of the ancients does not specifically refer to the earth. Its connotation is much richer than that of later generations.
The Chukotka region is bordered by the East Siberian Sea, the Chukchi Sea and the Bering Sea. It is bounded by the Kamchatka Peninsula to the south, Magadan to the southwest, Yakutsk to the west, and the Chukotka Mountains to the northeast. At its center is Ana
The Anadel Plateau is where Anadyr Castle was built. With this castle as the central axis, Chukotka is to the north and Kamchatka Peninsula is to the south. In this era, people generally believed that the castle on the edge of Chukotka was
The Bering Strait is the eastern end of the world.
Erik and Semyon led the two hundred remnant troops and retreated to Anadelburg. It was miserable and miserable. In addition to the one hundred defenders in the city, there were only three hundred people. What was even more frightening was that the generals had no fighting spirit.
The soldiers have no fighting spirit, and the whole castle is filled with the atmosphere of failure.
Erik refused to admit defeat. He became increasingly frustrated and courageous. The first thing he did when he returned to Anadyrburg was to open the treasury and recruit soldiers. All the Cossack men in the city between the ages of thirteen and sixty-five were collected.
He recruited more than 100 soldiers into the army and recruited more than 100 people from Chukotka barbarians. Finally, the number of troops in hand increased to more than 500. He also sent people to Chukotka with their own warrants and heavy money.
Tribes deep in the Kochi Mountains recruit mercenaries.
He has been guarding Chukotka for many years and has killed countless people, so he has a notorious reputation. He has a strong power among the nearby tribes. He firmly believes that as long as he gives himself another month, he can recruit 500 more barbarian warriors.
.By then, this city will be impregnable.
Unsatisfactory things happen all the time in the world.
The Ming army did not give him time, so Lin Xingzhu led more than a thousand soldiers to Anadelburg. He deliberately waved more flags and hunted with flags. The situation changed and it looked like there were thousands of soldiers.
"Supervisor, the Ming army has arrived at the city", his subordinates reported to Erik.
Errik hurriedly went to the city to observe, but saw that the Ming army's flags were layered one after another, and he was afraid that there might be thousands of people!
I couldn't help but feel heartbroken and ordered: "Close the city gate tightly and don't go to war rashly!"
