Outside the Northeast Pass, heavy snow fell, and the snow was knee-high. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the birth of the sleigh, whenever winter comes, the earth is covered with ice and snow, it is a good time for Zheng to attack.

"Brethren!" Zheng Xi stood on the point platform and looked around, opened his voice and shouted, "Now that the Tartars outside the pass have entered the customs on a large scale, and the Tartars in Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaodong are empty, this is a good time for us to attack!" The Houjin Tartar not only brought profound disasters to our Han people, but also brought disasters to the tribes outside the Guan! Now is the time for revenge! Directly smash Shengjing and destroy the Tartar's lair! ”

"Go straight to Shengjing and smash the Tartar lair!" There was a sky-shattering shout from the crowd.

"Go straight to Shengjing and smash the Tartar lair!" The Evenks Emohe also raised his arms and shouted with the crowd. In fact, in the Ming and Qing wars that lasted for more than half a century, they also suffered heavy losses because of the war provoked by Aixinjue Luo.

Originally, these Evenks, the Oroqen people have lived between the white mountains and black waters for generations, making a living from fishing and hunting, and living a simple primitive tribal life. Although they were called Shengjurchen by the Han and Mongols, the Manchurian Banner people had nothing to do with them, they were not Banner people at all, so in the real history, when it came to the later ethnic division, they were not Manchus, but Evenki, Oroqen and other ethnic groups.

Since the rise of the old slave in Liaodong, these tribes have suffered, the Eight Banners came to attack their tribes, captured a large number of people to serve as soldiers, and some disobedient small tribes were uprooted by the old slave.

A large number of young and middle-aged people were captured by old slaves to serve as soldiers, and the population of the tribe was rapidly reduced. Those who went to become soldiers, fought with other tribes, and fought with the Mongols and the Ming Dynasty for many years, and very few of the young and middle-aged people who went out survived, almost nine deaths. Of course, the few who survived became Eight Banners.

However, having relatives in the family to become flag people does not mean that a family can become a flag person, it is still very strict to enter the flag, and it is not so easy to bring out relatives in the hometown, even if you want to be a cloth slave, it is not an easy thing, if you want one person to enter the flag and the whole family to enter the flag, it is almost impossible, unless it is a great achievement, when you become a great official, it is possible to let your family enter the flag.

A large number of young people from these small tribes were taken away as soldiers and lost a large number of young people, but when the Rakshasa people came, the Manchu court behaved weakly, and many tribes were slaughtered by the Rakshasas, and they did not see the imperial army to deal with the Rakshasas.

On the contrary, it was the Ming general named Zheng Xi in front of them who helped them, and the Ming army defeated the Rakshasas and protected the tribe. Although the army moved all the tribes to the seashore, Emohe knew very well that this was to protect them from the threat of the Rakshasas, and to gather the people, distribute weapons, and build castles to protect the safety of the people.

"Go straight to Shengjing and smash the Tartar lair!" The Japanese samurai Nobutaka Tagawa also followed and shouted with his arms raised.

Tagawa Nobutaka, is also a figure of the Japanese Tagawa family, the relationship between this family and the Zheng family is needless to say, Zheng Chenggong's biological mother Tagawa Matsu is from this family, Zheng Chenggong's younger brother Tagawa Shichizaemon is also from this family, with the efforts of Tagawa Shichizaemon, there are constantly Japanese samurai crossing the sea to the mouth of the Heilongjiang River on the other side of Sakhalin Island.

"Let's go!" Zheng Raid roared.

A huge convoy composed entirely of sleds left the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, and the sleds galloped on the thick ice, all the way to the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River.

The Mongol Kharbar sat on a sleigh and swung his whip to drive the horses pulling the sleds. It was the Mongolian horse that pulled the cart, and the sleigh pulled by four horses ran fast on the ice, and the cold wind was blowing in the face of dozens of degrees below zero, but Kharbal did not feel cold at all.

"The clothes on my body are all good things!" Harbal said, "This down jacket, this woolen sweater, if we Mongolians can wear such good clothes early, every time the white plague comes, how many fewer people can die!" ”

Harbal wore a dogskin hat on his head and a thick down jacket with a high collar to keep out the icy wind. Inside the down jacket, a piece of cotton armor with iron plates inside is worn to protect the warrior from the threat of bows and arrows. The cotton armor is also wearing a cardigan underneath.

A cardigan is definitely a good thing, having this thing worn inside, plus a coat on the outside, can resist the penetration of the cold, and the warmth is much better than other clothes. Inside the cardigan, there is also a cotton underwear, which increases warmth and prevents the woolen sweater from piercing the flesh.

Down jackets, woolen sweaters and cotton underwear are all products of Nanyang. Now the people of the Mongolian tribe where Kharbar belongs, as well as the people of the Evenki and Oroqen tribes, have already worn these good things produced by the Nanyang Company. In the cold winter, they live in a warm castle with a burning earth dragon in the castle, and the winter is not cold at all. The houses of ordinary tribesmen were also made of stone and bricks, and expensive red mud was used. A hot kang is built in the house, and in winter, the hot kang is burned in the well-sealed house, and it is very warm to sit inside.

And something that the Mongols, Evenks and Oroqen would not dare to think of: transparent glass. With this kind of thing, the doors and windows are closed in winter, and the inside of the room is bright.

I heard that transparent glass is a luxury, and in the capital, only the most noble flag people can afford this expensive luxury. But here, an ordinary family can buy back a large piece of glass to make a window by selling a few hides, or selling a few more salmon. If you don't want to hunt, you can also go to Sakhalin or Ezo to work in factories, such as meat factories, canning factories, garment factories, livestock farms, milk factories, etc.

When you enter a factory to work, an ordinary worker can earn two dollars of silver a month, and when you become a skilled worker, your salary will rise.

Two dollars of silver is not a small amount, even if the average hunter desperately hunts a black bear, the bear skin, bear paws and bear bile are sold, and several people have to share it equally, and it is difficult to say whether a person can get two dollars.

In short, since Zheng Raid came, it not only protected them from the threat of the Rakshasas, but also improved their lives. On this expedition, everyone's morale is high, they are not only fighting for the Ming Dynasty, but also for themselves! They can't afford to lose their present happy life, and they don't allow the Rakshasas and Manchurians to rob them!

Today's Zheng raid army already has 5,000 sleds, and the scene of 15,000 people riding sleds on the expedition is extremely huge, and there is a long queue of more than ten miles along the Heilongjiang River.
