Chapter 1355 Entering the Heilongjiang River Valley

Ying Junzhi, at this time, he has a lot of titles, in addition to the deputy director of the Northeast Division of the Immigration Reclamation Division, from the title of the official of Sipin, there is also the dispatch of 'Nuer Cadre Immigration Affairs Supervision'.

To a certain extent, this dispatch is the number one civilian official in the Nuergan region, but now the Tang Empire has not officially established a state capital and other administrative institutions in the Nuergan region, and temporarily uses the 'Nuergan Immigration Affairs Yamen' to temporarily manage administrative affairs.

In recent years, the Tang Empire has been very fond of using some temporary dispatches to set up relevant special yamen to deal with related affairs, such as the Fusang Affairs Yamen, the Nanyang Affairs Yamen, and the Nuergan Immigration Affairs Yamen.

However, this situation is estimated to not last long, and when the navy takes Nuergan City, and then takes other barbarian villages and towns along the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, it can basically be announced that Nuerganfu has been established.

When the time comes, the slave will be the yamen of immigration affairs, and it will be transformed into the yamen of the slave government.

It is foreseeable that after the Tang Dynasty completely conquers Fusang, the Fusang affairs yamen will also become history, and then it will be replaced by the Fuso Governor Yamen, or simply the Kyushu Governor Yamen, the Honshu Governor Yamen and the like.

In the area of Nuergan, when the Nuergan Mansion was established, Ying Junzhi naturally would not continue to stay in this poor and remote place, this person is a young official who is more valued in the Immigration Reclamation Division.

He is good at organizing immigrants to settle for settlement, rather than being a prefect in a poor rural area.

What's the difference between the two?

The former brought immigrants to the wilderness and fought with the barbarians for land.

The latter is simply a matter of governing the locality.

Ying Junzhi is also worthy of being an immigration official who is deeply appreciated by the bosses, although he is young, but he is extremely experienced, and he does not have to worry about the navy, he himself led the officials under his command to organize more than 4,000 young people, and then began to quickly build simple city defense facilities, and at the same time arranged for people to cook on fire, so that thousands of people would not go hungry after going ashore, and at the same time carry all kinds of equipment and materials from the fleet.

Then it was the commander who thoroughly cleaned up the original Nuer Gancheng, and according to the health requirements of the Tang Empire, the first time was to thoroughly clean up the Nuer Gancheng.

In order to prevent the epidemic of various infectious diseases, Li Xuan was strict with the appearance of the city, especially the health issues, which were extremely strict.

And this requirement is no exception in Nuer Gancheng, but Nuer Gancheng is said to be a city, but in fact it is equivalent to an ordinary village in the mainland, and the scale is small, which is also very easy to clean up.

After the sanitation and cleaning work, a large number of follow-up personnel began to settle in Nuergancheng, but the city is too small and there are not many buildings, so many people actually have no way to live in the original houses, so they can only build tents to live.

According to the relevant plan, this city is the most important stronghold for entering the Heilongjiang River Basin, so whether it is living or living, the city must meet a certain standard, so as to provide support for subsequent military operations in the Heilongjiang River Basin.

At the same time, Qiu Xiao also began to command the marines to explore and purge around, on the one hand, he wanted to clean up the nearby barbarians, so that they would not attack the immigrants in the Nuergan area in the future, and on the other hand, he also tried to recruit some local barbarians to repair the city.

However, the effect was not much, in the three-day clean-up operation of the Marine Corps, there was no large-scale barbarian at all, only a few small-scale barbarian barbarians, with a translator who was familiar with the local barbarians to learn that the surrounding barbarians had already run away one after another.

It's okay to go, at least in the future, you don't have to worry about encountering barbarian attacks in the Nuergan area!

After confirming that there were no barbarians within ten kilometers of the surrounding area, especially within ten kilometers of Nuergan in the south bank of the Heilongjiang River, Qiu Xiaocai relieved himself, and then prepared to dispatch the fleet and marines to continue to go deeper along the Heilongjiang River.

The navy's Heilongjiang plan is not just to occupy a Nuergan city, but to establish a stable and effective material transportation channel in the entire Heilongjiang River basin.

As for the large-scale resettlement development in the Heilongjiang River Valley, this is the plan of the Department of Resettlement and Reclamation of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the navy is only cooperating with them.

On the other hand, the Department of Resettlement and Reclamation of the Ministry of Agriculture, in the Heilongjiang River Basin, is actually cooperating with the Navy's operations.

Military conquest and immigration development have always been the consistent means of the Tang Empire, the army is expanding its territory in the front, and the Immigration Reclamation Department of the Ministry of Agriculture is organizing a large number of immigrants to follow up the immigration development in a timely and even synchronous manner, which is an old-fashioned method that has been played many times in the past ten years.

The military and the cabinet already have a complete set of procedures for mutual cooperation in this regard, but each takes what it needs without delay.

In this process, the generals of the military have won military achievements, and the cabinet officials have obtained political achievements.

Otherwise, the cabinet and the military would not have cooperated so closely.

This time deep into the Heilongjiang River Basin, although Qiu Xiao still brought two frigates, including the Changzhou, but to be honest, the deeper he went into the Heilongjiang River Basin, the smaller the role of these two huge frigates became.

And the same is true of those armed merchant ships, because whether these two frigates or armed merchant ships, the standard displacement is several hundred tons, such a tonnage may be too small in the sea, but it is too large in the inland water.

Therefore, in fact, after these large sea ships penetrate deep into the Heilongjiang River, they will at most act as fixed batteries and transport ships, and they also need the cooperation of the Heilongjiang River Fleet.

Without the cooperation of the river fleet, Qiu Xiao really wouldn't dare to go deep with frigates and armed merchant ships.

Qiu Xiao's next target is the Manjing Acropolis, which is very close to Nu'er Gancheng, but according to the situation, this city is called the city, and the barbarians of the village are almost gone.

A series of information proved that the barbarians in the nearby area began a large-scale retreat to the south, concentrating on the Acropolis of the Foduo River further south.

Qiu Xiao actually didn't care where these barbarians retreated, he had only one goal, that is, to continue to go deeper along the Heilongjiang River, destroy, and seize all the towns along the way.

Why was the first phase of the operation targeted here? It's not because there are any powerful enemies here, but in fact, according to scarce intelligence, this place is currently a barren area, with only a small number of barbarians living at best.

And Xi Shenwei is also more than a hundred years ago in the title, when the barbarian tribe living in this area of the begging martyrs surrendered to the former Ming, the former Ming Dynasty to the tribe of the place of residence as Xi Shenwei, the tribe leader Gantanu for the command, and later this tribe moved to the hinterland of Liaodong, completely belonged to the former Ming, and its tribe was gradually integrated into the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Xishenwei is a historical ranking, and now there is no existence of Xishen Acropolis at all, and it is estimated that what can be found is just a ruin.

The establishment and end of Xishenwei is actually the beginning and end of many guards in the border areas of the pre-Ming Dynasty.

Because of the pre-Ming era, the Ming Dynasty in the early days of the founding of the country, and the current Tang Dynasty in general, the tide is vigorous, continuous external expansion, its army is also to the Heilongjiang River Valley, and the establishment of Nuergan Division, later the decline of national strength, coupled with the bitter cold of the Nuergan region, so the former Ming Dynasty is to gradually give up the actual control of this area, the main forces are concentrated in the Liaodong area.

However, in order to ensure that the Nuergan area still belonged to the former Ming, at least nominally, the local tribal leaders would be widely granted official positions, and guards would be set up in the places where each tribe lived, and then the tribal leaders would be given as commanders.

Xishenwei has become history, but the importance of the geography of the place is as important as ever!

The place is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, the confluence of the middle reaches of the Heilongjiang River and its tributary Ussuri River, and this alone is enough for the Tang Empire to establish a city here!

On the way to Xishenwei, you need to pass through the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, and this downstream area, there are also a lot of barbarians entrenched, although the Datang Navy with inland warships, can also directly cover the transport fleet to go, no need to deal with the barbarians along the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, but the navy does not like to use a large number of inland warships every time to transport materials in the future, so it can't be rowed.

Therefore, when he went deep into Heilongjiang for the first time, he directly destroyed all the barbarian strongholds along the way, and then stationed a small number of troops in some important places.

In any case, it is necessary to ensure the safety of navigation in the Heilongjiang River Basin, otherwise, relying on the Heilongjiang River to penetrate into the northeast region is a joke.

The navy has put a lot of thought into it in order to make achievements in Heilongjiang, so as to show that even if it fights in the bitter cold of the northeast, the navy can play an important strategic role.

The Army cannot be allowed to seize all the limelight.

The navy has the mind of the navy, and the army also has the mind of the army, and the idea of the army is, and let the navy toss, anyway, it is not the army's military spending, and after they open up the Heilongjiang waterway, the biggest beneficiary is still their army, so they are happy to see the navy's operational plan in the Heilongjiang valley come to fruition.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the army has focused all its energy on Liaohetao and has not paid attention to this bitter cold place for the time being.
