In the Far East, on the banks of the Heilongjiang River, Dong Shuheng's generals had no time to think about the future.
Every war is a process of destruction of the original order of life.
So after the war, the victims of the war, the ordinary people living around the battlefield, the first thing they have to do is to resume their original lives.
Return everything destroyed by the war, including material and spiritual things, to their original appearance.
Bao Youzhi can never return to his original appearance.
He is no longer the free-spirited, suave Huai Navy officer.
When Recinio's army was defeated, the surviving Koto people buried their dead brothers.
Whether it is to commemorate the deceased relatives or to celebrate a victory, a drink is indispensable for the generous people of Jiangdong.
The pride of Northeastern men is always linked to wine. This is innate and passed down from our ancestors.
Wine is like food. In a bitter and cold place like the Northeast, it is a material that every household must stock up on.
The wine is naturally soju, and the sweet and sour rice wine in the south can only be used as water to rinse your mouth.
When villages moved to the valley, they naturally brought the shochu from their own villages with them.
So after a celebration banquet, everyone was drunk and drunk.
As for safety issues, don't worry, there are Huai Haijun brothers who have come to support and are watching over you.
Everyone can safely get drunk.
Bao Youzhi is the Huai Navy officer who is most familiar with various villages. He is the link between the people in Jiangdong and the Huai Navy.
Therefore, he naturally wanted to attend the celebration banquet organized by No. 64 Tun.
According to Mr. Jiangdong's character, if Bao Youzhi didn't get extremely drunk today, it would be because they didn't fulfill their etiquette.
Mr. Bao is drunk, so naturally he needs someone to take care of him, but those big gentlemen are too drunk themselves.
So Xu Yue'e, who had been following Bao Youzhi, could only temporarily let go of the defense between men and women.
The girls in Jiangdong are not as fussy as the girls in Guan Nei. Han people and ethnic minorities live together here.
Although the Han people are influencing the ethnic minorities, the ethnic minorities are also influencing the local Han people.
Although the Han women in Jiangdong would not set up a white tent like girls from ethnic minorities, they would borrow money from passers-by.
But she's not the kind of coy Guannai girl either.
So the plot developed on the normal track.
Although our Commander Bao has slept with numerous Korean and Japanese women before, many of them were even pregnant with his children.
But he never dared to cause trouble to this Han Chinese girl from a good family. If President Dong knew about it, he would definitely skin him.
Since you have disturbed someone else, you must be responsible. So, Commander Bao is busy holding a wedding in Xujiatun, and Xu Yue'e is the head wife of the Bao family.
Bao Youzhi's parents are gone. He has no particular requirements and does not need his parents' advice. He only needs to make a supplementary report to the Huaihai Navy Military Headquarters.
Mr. Xu is also a native of Jiangdong, not an old scholar like Guan Nei.
Although it doesn't sound good to say something like this happened to your granddaughter, it would be fine as long as you don't tell it. As long as the two of you really get married, you won't have anything to worry about.
In order to save time, the Xu family took care of everything.
In this way, Bao Youzhi muddleheadedly commanded a land battle as a naval admiral, and finally gained a daughter-in-law.
Du Hang was envious, jealous, and resentful of Bao Youzhi, a senior in the army. He traveled thousands of miles to support the army, but ended up eating a lot of dog food.
Without drinking the wedding wine, he led his men and horses to fight upstream. The Russians still left some strongholds upstream, and now they took advantage of them.
The captured Russian troops were not all hard-core, there were always a few who were willing to lead the way, so the Huaihai Navy went all the way to the upper reaches to clean up the targeted points, which went very smoothly.
Wang Xiaoshuai's army entered Blackwater City and took control from the center. Those small strongholds upstream can be captured by sending small groups of troops.
Bao Youzhi was about to leave with his fleet, and of course he kidnapped a wife.
He is now considering where to settle down and make arrangements for his wife. He cannot live on a warship with his wife.
After Bao Youzhi left, Wang Xiao was temporarily in charge of the overall situation here.
Of course, when Dong Shuheng's military orders arrive, he will start to move again.
Lin Wei of Temple Street is busy with the restoration of Temple Street these days. Of course, he will continue to expand Temple Street City. Now he has four to five thousand more prisoners in hand. With the army and militia, the entire Temple Street now has
The number of people reached 70,000 to 80,000.
This is already quite a small city.
It's summer now, which is fine, but in a few months it will be winter again. They need to build more houses and collect supplies for the winter.
A large number of wooden boats were seized this time, which greatly facilitated transportation in Heilongjiang.
The Taidao team also made great achievements this time. The administrators of Temple Street will count the merits and then allocate land to them.
Land was naturally distributed around these farms planned in the Far East.
The farm was the core of the Far East settlement in the future.
Huai Haijun used farms as the pioneers to develop, then developed small towns around these farms, and finally expanded to the surrounding areas to build villages.
The entire Heilongjiang basin plus the North Sea coast can accommodate tens of millions of people without any problem.
So what we are still missing now is people!
In addition, in order to effectively develop the land north of Temple Street.
Lin Wei formed an advance team to advance northward, composed of local ethnic minority hunters, Japanese swordsmen and special forces.
The mission of this advance team was to sweep northward along the Transkhingan Mountains to sweep the Russian stronghold in Magadan, Eastern Siberia.
Completely clear out the Russians here.
Their mission is very dangerous and cannot be completed in a short time.
Now, before winter comes, Lin Wei has asked them to set off, following the forest path attacked by Russian hunters.
They put supplies on the backs of reindeer or horses. Some hunters also brought their domesticated sled dogs.
This army looks very unorganized. It is simply disorganized and they don't even understand the language.
The tribal hunters and the Japanese couldn't even quarrel with each other because they couldn't understand what the other party was saying.
But they all listen to the Han people. The commander of the special force is the commander-in-chief of this team.
In addition, Shikasou is the commander of the tribe's hunter team. Sakai Kogoro, who had made great achievements in the previous battle and was lucky enough to survive, became the leader of the Tachi team.
Lin Wei was very generous this time. Whether they were hunters or Japanese, each of them was equipped with a flintlock gun in addition to their original weapons.
The most critical thing is that this team has no inspectors. Lin Wei wants to release these people like wild beasts.
Exiting the Waixing'an Mountains is an endless wilderness, and they cannot be expected to abide by discipline in such an environment.
That would only tie their hands and feet.
In fact, Lin Wei didn't know what he had released. He just felt that it was necessary to do so. He couldn't hide in Temple Street and wait for the enemy to attack him every time.
There is only one who can be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. The feeling of being on guard all the time is really not good!
Of course, expanding northward was also Dong Shuheng's established policy.
The territory is either yours or yours, someone needs to declare it.
This is especially true in remote places with harsh environments.
If Dong Shuheng wants the land of Siberia, then a group of brave people must go first to explore it.
Later generations were able to follow in their footsteps and live there.
Both Shikasou and Sakai Kogoro were very excited to be part of this expedition.
The road ahead is long and full of dangers, but it is also full of opportunities.
Being able to join this team means that they are already official members of the Huai Navy.
When they come back, there will be generous rewards waiting for them.
If Russians can live there, there's no reason why they can't go there.
Most of the hunters in the team live in the forests of the Waixing'an Mountains. The environment here is not as good as in places farther north. They know the rules for surviving in this environment.
Will these people provide life guidance to the political ranks?
The special forces are also trained in extreme environments, and they have advanced combat techniques.
Knowing how to effectively deal with small groups of enemies, they are the daggers of this team.
As for the Japanese, they are all the best in the Tai Sword team, and many of them are experts in close combat.
Moreover, these people are hard-working and have a strong sense of obedience. As long as the relationship between superiors and subordinates is established, they will obey orders absolutely.
The three types of personnel complement each other perfectly in this team.
In the coastal area east of the Ussuri River, dozens of farms were built at the same time from Vladivostok to the north.
If you take a boat and sail along the coastline, you can see scenes filled with smoke.
This is where the pioneers of the farm cut down the trees and then burned them.
These farms have selected the best places, and the soil on the ground has accumulated thick humus.
This year they have no time to plant, they have to build living facilities first.
This winter they must rely on the supplies they brought over and their local hunting and gathering to sustain their lives.
Each farm is composed of part of the original farm elders and part of the newly recruited new people.
This model of bringing in the old with the new can allow Huai Haijun's farms to increase like a snowball without changing the established management model.
More immigrants are still rushing to the Far East in batches. The Huaihai Navy has several fixed supply points along this route.
This is a mature route. In the future, more and more people will live in the Far East along this maritime route, alleviating the population pressure in the Guanhai area.
Now Dong Shuheng is asking Ocean Shipping Company to open a North American route along this route.
From the port of Sakhalin eastward to the Kuril Islands, then to the Aleutian Islands, and finally to the west coast of North America.
This route is much closer than the route from Yokohama, Japan to the Hawaiian Islands and San Francisco.
This time, a unit of the North Sea Navy went to North America to attack the strongholds of the Tsarist Russian American Company for one purpose, and another purpose was to explore this sea route.
There are only three maritime routes in the Pacific connecting east and west: north, central and south.
The northern route is what Dong Shuheng is currently exploring, and it was actually opened by the Russians.
The middle line was opened by the Americans, passing through Hawaii and Japan for transit. Huaihai Company has opened a dedicated line to San Francisco, but the fleet on this line is nominally the fleet of the American West Coast Company.
The southern route was opened by the Spaniards back then. The southern route has the most islands. But it is close to the equator and the sea conditions are the worst. This is the route that Huaihai Company now takes when traveling to Peru.
For the rise of a country's maritime industry, mastery of sea routes is as important as shipbuilding technology.
Dong Shuheng's current way of opening up routes is also laying the foundation for China to become a major maritime power in the future.
