The results of Jilin's exploration of the New World are very gratifying.
Not only were many fertile and livable places discovered, but there were also various resources.
In particular, the wood found on the west coast has been identified by shipbuilding experts as even more suitable for building larger battleships than the wood found in Jilin.
"Since they are all ownerless lands, once they are discovered by us, they belong to us. Don't stop and continue to explore more. The Chinese nation needs more and better habitats. If God does not take them, he will suffer the consequences.
.”
Zuo Mengeng's sincere warning made all the civil and military officials in Jilin remember it firmly in their hearts.
"Your Highness, according to the intelligence, if we explore further south, we may encounter the Spaniards. If a conflict occurs then, how should we resolve it?"
The Xia Kingdom was not completely ignorant of the Spanish colonization of America.
Through relationships with the Dutch and Portuguese, we have already mastered a lot of information.
At least the Xia Kingdom already knew that the Spanish colonists had discovered the California area at this time, but they had not conquered it yet.
But as long as the Xia Kingdom continues to move south, it will definitely encounter Spanish colonists.
"We will fight when we encounter them, and we must not give in. There is no possibility of reconciliation in our relationship with Spain. Since the distance is too far, supply points along the way must be built to facilitate reinforcements as quickly as possible."
Zuo Mengeng knew that the area currently being explored in California belonged to Spain's Viceroyalty of New Spain.
Although it occupies a vast area, its military strength is not worth mentioning.
Although there are not many people in the Xia Kingdom, they just need to grind slowly.
"You also need to make full use of the power of the local indigenous people. These indigenous people were tortured by the Spanish colonists, but they lacked strength and were not united, so they were defeated by the Spaniards one by one. You only need to draw these indigenous people over and provide a certain amount of strength.
, will definitely become a big trouble for the Spaniards."
What the Spanish colonists did to the Indians was no better than what happened later.
They have wiped out several Indian countries one after another, and they have slaughtered and robbed the remaining Indian tribes to the best of their ability.
The indigenous Indians had limited knowledge and power, and coupled with the Spanish's instigation of discord, their territory was increasingly eroded and they were in crisis.
Zuo Menggeng formulated a completely opposite development policy for Xia State.
Land must be seized, but the indigenous people must be treated much more kindly.
Strictly speaking, the aborigines actually have no sense of country and nation, and they do not have a deep sense of who will become the rulers.
But they still know who is hostile to them and who is hurting them.
By that time, the Xia Kingdom was open-minded and friendly to them, while Spain was cruel and cruel to them. It was not difficult to judge who they should prefer.
Jilin's prosperity made Zuo Menggeng feel very pleased, and he embarked on a journey again, heading to Temple Street.
Nowadays, the main generals of the Northern Military Region are concentrated in Temple Street.
Just because there is a war in the Heilongjiang River Basin, the Northern Military Region is studying corresponding plans.
"The Sauron Tribe located in the upper reaches originally surrendered to the Manchu Qing, but after it became stronger, it immediately betrayed the Manchu Qing. Huang Taiji was afraid that the Sauron Tribe would become powerful, so he sent an army to wipe out the Sauron Tribe."
In the 10th year of Chongzhen, Bomubogor, the leader of the Sauron tribe, led eight people to Shenyang for the first time to meet with Huang Taiji, and the two sides established a tributary relationship.
But the Solon tribe is not a Jurchen, but a tribe composed of Ewenki, Daur, Oroqen and other ethnic groups.
They are essentially very different from the Jurchens.
After receiving the support of the Qing Dynasty, Bomu Bogor used his reputation as a rightist to start conquests everywhere, and soon took the entire middle reaches of Heilongjiang into his own hands.
Among them, Yakesa City, Duojin City, Duochen City, Asazin City, Ertu City and other places are extremely dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Huang Taiji was keenly aware of Bomubogor's ambition and decided to strike preemptively.
The current strategic situation of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is not good.
Although they conquered the Mongolian grasslands, had strong allies and a vast strategic space, they were still too poor in this direction and even needed Manchu subsidies.
Although the Ming Dynasty in the south was riddled with holes, the Guanning defense line was intact, making it impossible for the Manchu and Qing dynasties to push their troops to the front line of Shanhaiguan.
Even if you can freely detour through Mongolia and enter the customs to plunder, the people in Gyeonggi, Shanxi and others have been robbed, and there is really no profit.
What makes the Manchus feel stuck in their throats the most is the direction of North Korea.
The good Korean Peninsula was divided into two halves because of Xia Guo's intervention.
They seemed to be evenly matched, but the essence of the Korean Peninsula was in the south, and the north was extremely poor. No matter how hard the Manchus tried, they could not get more resources from North Korea to enrich themselves.
In the direction of the Liaodong Peninsula, Lushun occupied by the Xia army was so impregnable that it was impossible to pull it out.
This means that Xia Jun can move forward anytime and anywhere and go straight to the core of the Qing Dynasty.
In this case, Huang Taiji would certainly not allow uncontrollable forces behind him.
He sent Samushka and Suohai to lead two wings of troops respectively, and decided to destroy the Sauron tribe.
By the time Zuo Mengeng came, the two sides had already fought several battles.
The Sauron tribe was no match for the Manchus. They were beaten so hard that they lost their armor and even the cities of Yaksa and Duojin.
Only then did Bomubogor realize that a disaster was coming.
He did not dare to stay on both sides of the Heilongjiang River anymore, but led the remaining tribes to retreat further north, and now rests in the Zeya River area.
But as soon as he retreated here, he ran into an expedition sent by the Xia Kingdom.
In order not to overly stimulate the Manchus, the exploration work in Jilin was mainly concentrated in the vast area north of Heilongjiang.
After unremitting efforts, the furthest expedition team has reached the foot of the Waixing'an Mountains.
Although the expedition team that encountered Sauron's tribe only had more than thirty people, it was very powerful in combat.
There was a conflict between the two sides, and Bomubogor suffered heavy losses and quickly asked for surrender.
After sitting down and talking, the expedition team learned about the Manchu troops sending troops to Heilongjiang.
The expedition team did not dare to neglect and quickly passed the news back.
Hearing that the Qing army had entered Heilongjiang, the Northern Military Region was naturally very nervous.
Hong Qi, Wei Yuanfeng, Hui Shanhui, Miao Niansheng and others even deployed the 11th Division five hundred miles northeast of Khabarovsk as a precaution.
This is to prevent the Qing Dynasty from discovering anomalies here and having a buffer when the army presses on the border.
But at present, it seems that the Qing army sent out to deal with Sauron's tribe is only a small force.
They can destroy the Sauron tribe, but if they want to continue to advance thousands of miles eastward, they are really unable to do so.
Seeing that they were not in danger, Hong Qi and others began to think about how to cause trouble for the Manchus.
"We plan to provide certain support to the Sauron tribe, allowing them to consume more Qing troops and at the same time cause chaos in the entire Heilongjiang Basin. If we can hold back the Manchu Qing more, that would be great."
