The cement castle at the mouth of Heilongjiang was finally completed before it snowed.
This is absolutely an astonishing miracle in a barren and vast primitive land.
Not only the people on Sakhalin Island were happy about this, but various nearby primitive tribes also came over to watch the feat.
There are tens of thousands of people in Gejihewei, Yemuhewei, Handahewei, Tatingwei, Manjingwei, Fuduohewei, and Yimuhewei.
It is said that Nuergandusi is desolate, just because the land is so large that there are few people there. However, if such individual guards and tribes are gathered together, the number of people will be very considerable.
Seeing the concrete building that was fifteen or six meters high, these primitive people were all stunned. Many people even knelt down immediately and knelt down to the castle.
Apparently they already regarded this castle as a miracle.
When fair trade began, the savage Jurchen tribes from all directions naturally approached.
Nowadays, all the tribes in the entire lower reaches of Heilongjiang have changed their previous state of hostility, vendetta, and conquest, and are now living in harmony with each other.
The reason is that the things they need for survival have become abundant.
With the participation of Sakhalin Island, these primitive tribes can easily obtain various necessary supplies for life.
To get these things, you only need to trade, there is no need to start a war, and there is no need to shed blood.
Even primitive people know how to choose.
Sakhalin purchased furs, ginseng, wood, medicinal materials, wild fruits and other goods from these tribes, then sold them salt, iron pots, and built houses for them.
This caused the nearby savage Jurchen tribe to gradually begin to get rid of their primitive living conditions and reveal traces of civilization.
And those who have evolved the fastest are, of course, the aborigines on Sakhalin Island.
They had been living with the legions heading north day and night, and had long been integrated into one. Under the influence of what they heard and saw, their original appearance was almost invisible except for their appearance.
"Commander of the Legion, how to break through such a bunker?"
Lian Shanhai looked up at the towering castle, imagining how to break it.
There is no way, this is an instinctive reaction as a soldier.
Wei Yuanfeng was the happiest person when he saw the castle completed.
Because this means that the troops heading north can truly go north.
From now on, this castle will be the forward base for the army heading north.
"If our army comes to attack, it will take at most three or two days to break through. Otherwise, any enemy can only besiege and be unable to break through."
It is actually very difficult to besiege this castle.
Because the castle is right on the seaside, two figure-eight-shaped cement walls were specially built for support and supplies.
The thickness of the city wall reaches an astonishing six meters, and there is a female wall on it to provide defensive operations.
These two walls extend all the way into the sea, turning the middle into a very wide open space.
By the spring of next year, a pier will be built on this vacant land.
In this way, support and supplies from Sakhalin Island can be sent directly to the castle without worrying about being blocked by the enemy.
This castle has an endless supply of aid and supplies, and there is no danger of being breached.
Unless the enemy has a very powerful navy and blocks the castle from the sea, it would be impossible to break it.
But Wei Yuanfeng's answer made Lian Shanhai feel incredible.
"With the weapons of our army, I'm afraid it won't be able to break through, right?"
Wei Yuanfeng shook his head and told him the truth.
"It is not the weapon of our army going north, but the heavy artillery of the local army in Shandong. It is an earth-shattering artifact. There is no city wall that heavy artillery cannot break."
Hearing that there was such a good thing, even mountains and seas were impatient.
"Why don't our regiment going north have that kind of artillery?"
Seeing his aggrieved look, Wei Yunfeng burst into laughter.
"It's not that the headquarters doesn't give us equipment, it's that our soldiers are not of sufficient quality to control such a magical weapon."
Such words made Lian Shanhai unwilling to listen.
"We are all the bravest warriors. Even death will not make us frown."
These primitive people have nothing else but a very strong sense of honor. If anyone dares to question it, they would rather die.
Wei Yuanfeng quickly comforted him.
"To operate such heavy artillery, you don't just have to be brave. You also need to learn a lot of knowledge. Otherwise, even if you have heavy artillery, if you can't fire it well or accurately, what's the use?"
Only then did Lian Shanhai calm down.
“When are we going to learn something like that?”
Regarding this, Wei Yuanfeng was particularly helpless.
"There is no way to learn it here. Those are very advanced knowledge. Even I don't understand it very well. Only by going to Shandong and entering the military academy can I learn and master it."
He looked at Lianshanhai and suddenly had an idea.
"Your talent is unparalleled and you are definitely a good candidate to become a general. Do you want to go to Shandong and study in a military academy?"
Unexpectedly, Lian Shanhai scratched his head as he didn't expect it to be mentioned to him.
"I looked at the map. Shandong seems very far away. It takes a long time to take a boat. If I go there, I wonder when I can come back?"
Wei Yuanfeng became serious.
"If you want to make progress, you have to go no matter how far you go. Otherwise, your current military position will be over."
Lian Shanhai is now the commander of the fourth regiment of the Northward Army.
However, this regiment commander is far from comparable to the regiment commander of the regular New Army, so his military rank is only captain.
According to the regulations of the New Army, soldiers who have not studied in military schools can only reach this rank at the highest.
During this period, Wei Yuanfeng had many contacts with Lianshanhai.
In his opinion, although Lian Shanhai had little knowledge, he possessed the qualities that all good soldiers should have.
He has a keen sense of smell, is brave in combat, is good at teamwork, and has a photographic memory. Even compared with the generals of the New Army, he is not inferior.
It would be a huge waste for such an outstanding talent to be trapped in this far north without being able to grow up.
Hearing that he could be promoted and become more powerful, Lian Shanhai couldn't help but feel excited.
He has heard descriptions of Shandong from his comrades countless times.
It was a magical place, as prosperous as a fairyland.
There were endless delicacies there, as well as countless people. The wise and mighty commander was described by everyone as being like a god.
Seeing that he was a little moved, Wei Yuanfeng thought of a way.
He pulled over a six or seven-year-old child, who was Lian Shanhai's son.
"Dahu is still young and should learn more. But if he stays here, he will be like you at most in the future. Why not let him see more of the world?"
