Daming Crazy Emperor
Chapter 942 Development of Siberia
Cao Bianjiao did not expect that the cavalry of the Siberian Khanate would be so vulnerable.
This battle was fought as if it hadn't been fought, it was over just as he led the army over!
However, cleaning the battlefield is still a bit troublesome, because almost all the cavalry were knocked down by them, and they were lying on the ground howling.
Fortunately, they shot from a relatively long distance, and these people were wearing leather armor, so most of them were not seriously injured.
At least, being able to scream so loudly proves that the person is only in pain. If he is really seriously injured, he will not be able to howl.
Of course, there are also those who fell off the horse and accidentally fell to death, or were trampled to death by the horses behind, there is no way to save these.
He just thought about it for a while and ordered decisively, ordering tens of thousands of people behind him to go immediately, take a look at the man's leather armor, and treat him well.
The elites of the Shenwu Battalion are not only equipped with excellent weapons and equipment, they are also equipped with a complete range of first aid medicines.
They all rode forward one after another, stopped in front of a prisoner, and then dismounted, and took out a copper medicine box and a sharp knife from the backpack on the horse's back.
Then he squatted down directly, picked up his leather armor, and checked it carefully.
Immediately afterwards, they took out the anesthesia needle from the medicine box, injected it directly next to the wound, and sterilized the knife with alcohol cotton cloth, then cut open the wound directly, took out the warhead inside with a clip, and sterilized it again. The poisonous cotton thread was slit, and finally some medicinal powder was applied, and the wound was wrapped with gauze, and it was almost done.
The screams on the battlefield became less and less, less and less, and not long after, the entire battlefield became strangely quiet.
The cavalrymen of the Siberian Khanate were all dumbfounded watching the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion treat their wounds.
They clearly saw that someone opened their wounds with a knife, clamped them with clips, and even sewed them with needles and threads.
The problem is, they didn't feel anything at all, not even the wound that was so painful to death!
It's also amazing.
Cao Bianjiao saw that everything was done on the battlefield, and all the captives were gathered together and surrounded, so he ordered people to bring those armored enemies over.
He asked directly in Mongolian dialect: "Is that all you have in the Siberian Khanate?"
In the past few years, he has been suppressing the remnants of the Meng Yuan forces, so he specially learned the Meng Yuan dialect from several Meng Yuan generals.
When several tribal leaders heard that the chief general also spoke Mongolian Yuan dialect, they couldn't help asking curiously: "Which khanate are you from?"
What Khanate.
Cao Bianjiao said coldly: "I am the governor of the Northern Camp of the Ming Empire. I asked you something, but I still didn't answer it honestly."
The Governor of the North Camp of the Ming Empire!
Zhao Guogong Cao turned into Jiao!
In the past few years, Zhao Guogong's reputation has spread throughout the grasslands outside the Great Wall. Monan and Mobei have been occupied by others, and all the Mongolian and Yuan ministries have been frightened by him.
Unexpectedly, this evil spirit suddenly came to the Siberian Khanate!
A tribal leader sighed slightly: "Grandpa, you may not know that we have been fighting Tsarist Russia for five or sixty years.
They also have muskets and artillery. We are not opponents at all, so we can only retreat all the way east.
In the past five or sixty years, both of our two great Khans died in the war, and the young and strong members of the clan suffered heavy casualties, and the population became smaller and smaller.
Now, we only have more than [-] people left. "
It turned out to be like this, it seems that I really picked up a big bargain.
Such a large territory was captured after a few rounds of platoon guns!
The news must be told to the emperor immediately.
Cao Bianjiao looked at the Flying Dragon battleship on the river in the distance, thought about it carefully, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, since you have surrendered, then be honest and obedient, I can guarantee that I will not kill you for no reason .
You first follow the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion back to the camp, and tell the people in the camp to stay calm and not to run around. "
After finishing speaking, he recruited some of his generals to explain a few words, and then he led his personal guards and rode straight to the river.
He had to ask the emperor what to do with the captive of the Siberian Khanate.
Seeing Cao Bianjiao coming on horseback, Taichang quickly ordered the Spike to build a temporary dock on the shore.
Not long after, Cao Bianjiao came up excitedly, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, there are only a few people in the Siberian Khanate. They have already surrendered. We have taken the Siberian Khanate!"
This will take the Siberian Khanate?
To be honest, Taichang felt a little unreal.
When he was desperately rushing forward, he thought it would take at least four or five months to win the Siberian Khanate. Unexpectedly, in just over a month, they easily won the Siberian Khanate.
It's too simple, isn't it?
Taichang was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Where are the rest of them, where did they go?"
Cao Bianjiao quickly explained: "They don't have many people, because they have been fighting with Tsarist Russia for five or sixty years, and they are almost wiped out. What is left here is the entire population of the Siberian Khanate."
Well, this time, I really won by lying down.
It turned out that Tsarist Russia helped them a lot.
Such a large territory!
The Siberian Khanate is as big as seven or eight provinces of Ming Dynasty, so they just took it down!
Next, they can even bring the whole of Siberia into their pocket.
Thinking of this, Taichang confessed: "Ask them again, are there any forces east of Yeni River?"
Uh, your majesty, don't be in such a hurry.
I still have questions.
Cao Bianjiao hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do with the prisoners of the Siberian Khanate?"
These must be taken to the new Jingzhou Mansion, and they cannot be left here.
Taichang thought about it carefully, and then slowly said: "You first move the camp over and surround it.
These people must be dragged to New Jingzhou Mansion, but we don't have any free ships right now.
How about this, let their injured young men recuperate for a few days, and then you will send them all to the opposite bank to help us build the city. "
When Cao Bianjiao heard the words, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand, I will resign."
After saying that, he hurried back.
Taichang looked at Cao Bianjiao's back and fell into deep thought.
He has already considered how to develop Siberia. If it occupies such a large area and does not develop it, isn't it the same as not occupying it?
That is purely a waste of money and food, a waste of troops.
This is also one of the reasons why the sphere of influence gradually narrowed after the Yongle prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
Because at that time, Daming didn't think about developing resources outside the homeland.
As a result, the food and salaries of the frontier army were unsustainable, so they could only withdraw to the mainland of Daming.
Nuergandusi, the southeast peninsula, and even Nanyang were gradually separated from Ming's control in this way.
Now, if they want to control the whole of Siberia, at least hundreds of thousands of troops must be stationed. If the family members of the troops are added, there will be at least three to four million people.
With so many people, how much food does it cost a year?
No matter how rich Daming is, he can't afford such a torment!
Therefore, Siberia must be developed.
As long as it can be developed, Daming will not lose money, but make money.
Siberia is rich in resources.
Mineral resources such as gold, silver, petroleum, iron ore, coal mines, etc. are well known.
There is also a mountain forest here that is no less than the Amazon jungle, and the timber resources are also scary.
There is also the West Siberia Plain, the soil quality is quite good, whether it is farming or grazing, it can bring a lot of benefits.
Wouldn't it be a waste if so many resources were not developed?
As for how to develop.
There is a saying in later generations that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads; if you want to develop, you must first build roads;
The problem is that there is ice and snow here for more than half of the year, and it may take several years for the railway to run through the whole of Siberia.
Fortunately, there are quite a lot of river systems here. If several canals can be built to connect the Hubei River, Yeni River and even Xinxi River, the traffic here will be much more convenient.
Of course, the railway has to be repaired. After all, no matter how the river system here is, it is impossible to connect with the river system of Daming itself.
If you want to bring the resources here to Daming, you have to rely mainly on the railway.
However, these are later plans.
The most urgent task now is to connect the existing railway with the river system here, so that the personnel and supplies of Ming Dynasty can be quickly transferred.
Taichang stared at the map for a while, and suddenly found a good place.
This place is a section of the upper reaches of the Ebei River. For some reason, this section of the river suddenly widened. From the map, the width is at least twenty or thirty miles.
The railway extending from Altai City seems to be nearing that section of the river, and that section of the river seems to be only four to five hundred miles away from the river they are currently in.
If a large city and port wharf can be built there, it will be able to connect the railway line from Daming mainland to the Ebei River.
There happened to be a fortress over there, and it was the southernmost fort built by Tsarist Russia. Beyond that fortress was the Acropolis of Ming Dynasty.
The problem is that the fort has not been built beside the wide river, but a little to the north of the wide river.
What is going on here?
Taichang thought carefully for a while, then pointed to the map and said, "Mr. Li, let's go here and have a look."
Uh, what is the emperor trying to do?
The battle here has just ended, and the emperor wants to go to other places to see it!
Yuan Keli was stunned for a moment, looked at the map again, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, why don't we take hundreds of Spike warships there together?"
Taichang shook his head slightly and said, "You don't need to bring so many, just bring a hundred ships.
Isn't there a fort here? There are at least tens of thousands of troops in the fort. If it doesn't work, we will stop at the port next to the fort to rest for a night.
Don't worry, it's fine. "
Well, the emperor's decision generally cannot be changed.
Yuan Keli had no choice but to order a hundred Spike warships to follow, and then commanded the fleet composed of Feilong warships and Spike warships to head towards the main stem of the Ob River.
Seeing the speed, Taichang couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "Liqing, this is too slow, let's go first, and let the Spike follow up."
Yuan Keli had no choice but to order the ten flying dragon warships to advance at full speed and head straight for the wide river.
At this moment, the entire main stem of the Ob River has been explored, and there must be no problem for the Feilong battleship to drive to that wide river.
The question is, why did Tsarist Russia choose to build the fort on the north side of the wide river?
Taichang really couldn't figure this out.
About two hours later, the Flying Dragon warship arrived near the fortress originally built by Tsarist Russia.
Taichang just swept away the garrison in the fort, and then ordered the Feilong battleship to move forward and head straight for the wide river.
About a quarter of an hour later, the river in front of them suddenly opened up, and they seemed to be driving into a large lake, surrounded by vast water, and the river banks on both sides were about twenty miles away from the center of the river.
The river is indeed wide enough.
Yuan Keli was stunned. It seems that there really is no such kind of river in Daming.
The river channel suddenly became nearly ten times wider. What caused it?
Taichang's expression didn't change at all, because the course of the Amazon River changed even more than this one, and he was no stranger to it.
He just thought about it for a while, and then ordered decisively: "Let's go closer to the west bank and have a look."
After a while, ten flying dragon warships arrived near the west bank.
At this time, Taichang also understood what was going on.
Because this side is full of mountains and forests, although there are not many ups and downs, there are quite a lot of trees.
If the trees here were to be cut down, more than [-] people would probably have to work hard for half a month.
There are so many people in Tsarist Russia who come here to cut trees, so they can only build the fort near the northern entrance.
However, this little tree is nothing to Daming, as long as a few machines for cutting trees and logging are brought over, they will be cut down in a few days.
Taichang glanced around, and couldn't help admiring: "This is really a good place, Li Qing, tell me, how about we build a large city and a large port here?"
Uh, your majesty, you have the final say!
Why do you ask me this kind of thing?
This battle was fought as if it hadn't been fought, it was over just as he led the army over!
However, cleaning the battlefield is still a bit troublesome, because almost all the cavalry were knocked down by them, and they were lying on the ground howling.
Fortunately, they shot from a relatively long distance, and these people were wearing leather armor, so most of them were not seriously injured.
At least, being able to scream so loudly proves that the person is only in pain. If he is really seriously injured, he will not be able to howl.
Of course, there are also those who fell off the horse and accidentally fell to death, or were trampled to death by the horses behind, there is no way to save these.
He just thought about it for a while and ordered decisively, ordering tens of thousands of people behind him to go immediately, take a look at the man's leather armor, and treat him well.
The elites of the Shenwu Battalion are not only equipped with excellent weapons and equipment, they are also equipped with a complete range of first aid medicines.

It's also amazing.

Yuan Keli had no choice but to order the ten flying dragon warships to advance at full speed and head straight for the wide river.
At this moment, the entire main stem of the Ob River has been explored, and there must be no problem for the Feilong battleship to drive to that wide river.
