Song Tao was furious when he heard this, and he scolded: "It's damn against the sky, these sticks are too bold, they dare to go wild on our territory, this is looking for death." Dude, it just so happens that these newly attached natives are going to Mao Lianwei, and we are idle, so we will help send it off and see the situation over there. ”

After listening to Song Tao's words, Li Ming knew Song Tao's thoughts. He really wanted to go and see it, and it occurred to him that he had some idea. So he nodded and said, "Then let's go and see the situation of the newly annexed tribes in the southern part of Ningguta." ”

During this time, there were more than 20 tribes newly annexed to the indigenous people. The number of people in each tribe is not very large, the minimum is only a hundred people, and the most is in the early two hundred.

Most of these tribes are old and weak, women and children, and such tribes can only merge to form villages. These tribes are so poor that they can't open the pot. The team provided them with food so that they could have enough to eat.

Since the Far East wiped out the combined forces of the Tartars and the Jurchen tribes, many large tribes of the Mao Lian tribe moved because they were afraid of retaliation against them in the Far East.

The remaining small tribes have all been annexed to the Far East, which is now vast and sparsely populated, and the company has placed all the tribes that have recently been annexed there. Vladivostok will also send a construction team to build woodcarved corrugated for these newly annexed natives.

Li: After a day in Shuangchengzi, Ming and Song Tao took a platoon of mountain regiment fighters and requisitioned 100 indigenous militia members near Shuangchengzi, and then set off with the natives of a dozen newly formed villages.

Shuangchengzi is not far from Mao Lianwei, only more than 200 miles, but half of the road is deep mountains and old forests, plus more than 2,000 natives, the speed is naturally not fast. Good thing there are some horses in these tribes. The working group requisitioned hundreds of horses from nearby villages, and was able to ensure that the elderly, weak, women and children could ride on horses. Grain and other supplies were also carried by horses.

After leaving Shuangchengzi, they went all the way south to the northern part of the Amur Bay, where they met with a construction team of dozens of people sent by the company, and then went west along the coast into the mountains.

After a few more days of trekking, he finally entered the Mao Lianwei area. There is a mountain company with a tun fort. A company of the mountain regiment and more than a dozen villages that had been waiting for a long time were all in Tunpu to greet Li Ming.

Han Guang, the commander of the mountain company, reported to Li Ming about Mao Lianwei's situation.

"Recently, we have received reports from indigenous people from several villages in the north of the Tumen River that many North Koreans have crossed the river from the south bank of the Tumen River, occupying a large area on the north bank of the Yalu River, and have clashed with some villages that have joined us. Although the natives killed some Koreans, there were many Koreans who crossed the river, and those villages also suffered a little loss. Several natives died.

According to the natives who originally lived here, the Koreans on the other side of the river did not cross the river to plunder a few decades ago, and they did not stop until the Later Jin unified the Jurchen tribes. This time, they saw that some of the large tribes of the Maomen tribe had migrated, so they crossed the river again and occupied the land on the north bank of the Tumen River. We received the news and immediately went with the militia. The North Koreans may have been frightened and had already crossed the river and fled. ”

Li Ming listened to Liao Hua's words. Knowing that such a thing is normal in the Outer Northeast, it is nothing more than a fight between tribes. The men here are all tough, a group of natives in the Shuangchengzi trading market, a little friction during the transaction can fight, and more than a dozen of them died on both sides. This kind of thing is too normal in the Outer Northeast. Maybe those villages didn't take it seriously.

Although the natives don't take it seriously, Li Ming doesn't think so. This may be an opportunity. He thought for a moment and said, "Are these North Koreans sent by the government, or are they spontaneous?" ”

"It's all spontaneous, and there are a lot of Korean villages on the south bank of the Tumen River. Koreans often crossed the river to trade with the natives on the northern bank. This time, they may also know the news of the defeat of Houjin, and when they saw the migration of the big tribes of Mao Lian, they all thought of crossing the river to take advantage of it. ”

Song Tao scolded angrily: "This is a naked provocation to our Far East Company. The DPRK authorities wantonly encroach on the territory of the Far Eastern Company, and we will return blood for blood and tooth for tooth. Majestic and high-spirited, he killed the Tumen River. ”

Li Ming punched Song Tao and scolded with a smile: "What are you talking about." Han Guang, you contact all the tunforts in the south of Ningguta and ask them to mobilize the areas under their jurisdiction, and all the militia rush to Tawin Fort on the north bank of the Tumen River. ”

Han Guang was stunned for a moment, but he immediately shouted loudly: "Yes......"

Song Tao looked at Han Guang's back, then turned to Li Ming and said, "Dude, what do you mean by this, do you really want to fight across the river." ”

Li Ming sneered: "The people who killed us will be all right if they escape the river." I want these newly annexed natives to know that if they follow the Far Easterners, even if they are slapped by others, we will find justice for them. It is just a good opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to let all the natives who have come to us truly return to the Far East. ”

A few days later, a large number of indigenous militiamen arrived in droves, and as soon as they heard that the Far Eastern Company was going to fight, they all brought their own rations and horses, and came in high spirits. On the north bank of the Tumen River, thousands of indigenous militiamen wearing cuckold "watermelon helmets" gathered.

Li Ming contacted Vladivostok and asked the company to send a dozen steam-deck barges upstream from the mouth of the Tumen River to Tavinburg. In the past few days, Li Ming and Song Tao personally went to several villages to express their condolences to the dead indigenous families, reassuring them that the Far East would take care of them for the rest of their lives, and they would also avenge the dead warriors.

Tavinburg made a big noise, Gao Jianguo was also startled when he heard the news, and thought that something big had happened, so he specially contacted Li Ming by radio.

"Li Ming, it's okay over there. You don't have enough people there, so I'll send the garrison brigade over. If necessary, you can call the Air Department aircraft to provide you with air support. ”

Li Ming smiled bitterly when he heard this, and hurriedly explained: "Boss Gao, I just gathered a group of indigenous militiamen, crossed the river to teach a lesson, and used regular troops to deal with those turtles." In fact, my idea is to think of guò as an opportunity to let all the newly annexed natives know that we Far East people have suffered losses and been bullied, and that our Far East company has come forward for them. Give them a sense of belonging to the Far East.

Take this opportunity to sweep the Koreans on the south bank of the Tumen River and let them know that this is the territory of the Far East. Let all the indigenous militias who participated in the war return to their tribes with a large amount of booty, and let them know that it is beneficial to fight for our Far East. In the future, we will mobilize the indigenous militias again, and they will definitely go to war.

I also figured out this battle to see how well the indigenous militias were massing and fighting. The outer northeast is too big, and it is still full of deep mountains and old forests. We can't just send out regular troops for a few mountain tribes. Later, we swept Liaodong, the main force attacked the city, and annihilated the main force of the Tartars on the frontal battlefield. But what about the Tartars in the mountains, do you still have to go over the mountains and mountains to catch the Tartars everywhere in the deep mountains and old forests? ”

Gao Jianguo thought for a while, and then said solemnly: "Your idea is very good, then this battle of crossing the river must be fought well, and I will send some deck barges over to ensure that you cross the river smoothly." After the war, the distribution of war trophies should be reluctant, and the indigenous militia who showed bravery during the war should also be heavily commended. ”

The company commanders of the various mountain companies in the southern Ningguta forts thought that something was wrong, and they all rushed over with a platoon in person. Li Ming smiled bitterly and drove them all back to their respective stations.

By this time, the fort of Tavin, on the north bank of the Tumen River, had become a large military camp, and tents brought from Vladivostok were set up in patches. There are also boxes of whale meat, canned fish, mountains of grain, and vats of corn stalks wine.

In order to increase the firepower of the militia, Li Ming brought over nearly 100 Huzun cannons and Xiaofulong machine guns captured from Dongjiang Town. In the past few days, I have specially found some militiamen and taught them simple ways to operate artillery. Just let them learn to use it correctly, it doesn't matter if it's accurate or not, as long as it looks scary, it's okay to go and beat a bunch of sticks and turtles anyway.

These two kinds of small cannons are especially suitable for mountain warfare, and the tiger cannon is dozens of catties, and an indigenous man can carry it. The small Furlong cannon is 150 pounds, equipped with a small cart to drag or put on a horse, and can follow the troops over the mountains and mountains, and in case of emergency, two indigenous militiamen can also run for a while.

These two kinds of artillery are very effective against the indigenous villages in the mountains and forests, the tribe soil fence or something. In the future, a group of excellent gunners will be trained in the militia to deal with the indigenous tribes and Tartars in the deep mountains and old forests of the outer northeast, which is definitely an artifact.

Li Ming reorganized the indigenous militia, with 30 militias in each village as a platoon and a mountain squad of fighters. The indigenous militia were armed with bows and arrows and knives, with several wooden tower shields. The fighters of the mountain squad were all armed with double-barreled shotguns, and two 40-mm grenade launchers were also reinforced.

Song Tao organized the soldiers of the mountain company to train in the camp near Tavinburg for more than ten days, during which time Gao Jianguo sent several steam-deck barges and an engineer company.

These days, the indigenous militia trains every day, and is choked by the scourge of the fighters of the mountain company. But the life is not bad, three meals of bud rice stubble rice are made casually every day, and then accompanied by salted fish and pickles, each meal can also be divided into a canned whale meat, and a bowl of bud rice straw wine at night. The food almost didn't kill the indigenous militia.

Canned whale meat is already flooded in Vladivostok, and the annual production is huge. Anyway, the employees of the company don't eat it, and the cadres and soldiers of the Military Commission have eaten it for a year, and now they want to vomit when they see canned whale meat. But the natives are very fond of canned whale meat, three cans a day, and they eat it for more than ten days in a row, but they still eat it very deliciously.

Song Tao led a few indigenous militiamen who were familiar with the situation on the other side of the river to cross the Tumen River and conduct a detailed reconnaissance of Wencheng County and Gyeongwon County in North Korea. After coming back, I discussed it with Li Ming and made a detailed plan. (To be continued......)
