The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 463 They Are Still from the House

At six o'clock in the evening, after the caravan had eaten, all assembled and began to change into the clothes that had been taken off the Cossacks in the morning.

Except for the [-] or so people left to guard the goods, the rest of the staff were dispatched.

Originally, Jia Min didn't intend to ask the female relatives to go, but after they heard the news, they insisted on going, so Jia Min had no choice but to take them along.

It turned out that Baochai and the others were addicted to fighting during the day, and when they saw an action at night, they were bewitched by the angry youth Qingwen and the prickly head Miaoyu, so they insisted on taking part in the action.

In fact, they still don't know what action they are going to participate in at this time.

Jia Min made sense when he thought about it.In the future, we will face a more severe environment, and fighting will often occur.It is also a good thing to take advantage of this opportunity to ask them to exercise more.

The target of this operation is Michurin's lair.

Michurin has been here for several months, bringing a large amount of guns and ammunition, and looting a large amount of property.

The goal of Jia Min's action is to snatch these things back.

The Cossacks were basically wiped out, and now there are only a dozen people in Michurin's camp. If these things are not taken easily, Jia Min feels really sorry for himself.

It was just after dark at seven o'clock in the evening, and the team set off.Detaining Michurin, with more than 100 carriages.

At five o'clock the next morning, we arrived at Michurin's camp.The armed Cossacks in the camp were resolved very smoothly, their weapons were confiscated, and they were released.

Michurin snatched back quite a lot of things. It took about an hour to load them into the car, and then returned with a full load.

About fifty women who were looted by the Cossacks were also rescued.

After walking back for twenty miles, I saw forty or fifty people gathered together on the road.

These people didn't seem to be hostile to the caravan. When they walked in, they saw a dozen people lying on the ground, including Michurin, who had been released by Jia Min, and a dozen other Cossacks.

After asking, I found out that the local people heard Xin'er and saw that Jia Min had released Michurin and the others, so they chased them and killed them on the way.

From this, we can also see how much Michurin's local public anger is.

On the second day after returning to Tongyuan Fort, the caravan began to change into the rifles seized from Michurin. After Jia Min gave a basic explanation, the caravan began training to get familiar with the equipment and tactics.

In the next few days, the caravan has been training here.

The news of the elimination of the Cossacks spread, and there were repercussions in nearby places.

In the past few days, many people have come one after another, all of whom are more or less respectable people around.These people started looking for Liu Gengxin, and after Liu Gengxin's introduction, they met Jia Min.

Most of these people came for the looted women, and after confirmation, these women were returned to them.

There were also some people who came for the goods, and Jia Min returned them the things that could match the number and were not too expensive.

There are too many goods, and they can't take them away.It's better to give it back to others, leaving a good reputation, and it will be convenient for me to do activities here in the future.

It not only gave a favor, but also laid a foundation for the future.

I stayed in Tongyuan Fort for five days, and it rained for two days and the road was muddy and difficult to walk, so I stayed for two more days.

However, I haven't been idle for the past two days, so I started training soldiers.

On the sixth day, the road conditions improved and the caravan resumed its journey.

The villagers sent off one way after another, and only reluctantly parted under the urging of Jia Min and Liu Gengxin.

When we reached the border of Daedeok, it happened to be noon, so we stopped for a rest and had lunch.

I don't cook at noon, I just eat some steamed buns and pickles that I brought in the morning, which is considered lunch.This way, it's all here.

The boundary marker on the roadside had fallen down. Jia Min found a shovel, dug a hole, erected the boundary marker and buried it.

According to his plan, the southern border of his future Beihai Kingdom will be divided here.

Take another step forward, and you will enter the territory of your future kingdom.

Now there is not a unified dynasty there, basically the various tribes run their own affairs and are in a state of disunity.

What I want to do in the future is to establish a dynasty here.

Of course, there are still some relatively powerful forces here, and the foreign Cossacks have also begun to encroach on this vast land.

Behind the Cossacks is the Ross Empire, so his future dynasty will be in the middle of the two great empires of Ross and Dade.

The Ross people are now busy expanding to Europe, and they will not be able to expand here on a large scale in a short time.

However, some folk forces like the Cossacks have begun to infiltrate here.

As for Dade, the imperial court has no ambitions to expand. It doesn't even pay attention to the vast area between the north of Bukui and the south of Tongyuan Fort, let alone make plans here.

This made Jia Min breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, he was very unwilling to have any disputes with Dade.

Simply eat and eat, and the caravan is on the road.After walking for twenty miles, I felt that my eyes lit up, and a boundless water surface appeared in front of my eyes.

Jia Min knew that this was Lake Feigal.

When Baochai and others saw it, they couldn't help shouting.

"This is Lake Feigal. This is what the locals call it. We all call it Beihai. It is the Beihai where Su Wu herded sheep."

Liu Gengxin came up and introduced it to Jia Min.

"This is going to Pingyuan City. Along the way, we will walk on the North Sea. This North Sea is [-] miles long and nearly [-] miles wide. It is boundless."

"In summer, other places are hot, but the surrounding area of ​​Beihai is very cool. In winter, other places are cold, but Beihai is warm here, which is a bit strange."

With a surface area of ​​more than 3 square kilometers and an average water depth of 730 meters, Lake Feigal is the largest freshwater lake in the world.

Such a large amount of water has a huge effect on climate regulation.

Liu Gengxin was puzzled by this, but Jia Min was not surprised.

Water absorbs heat in summer and freezes to release heat, which naturally makes the climate warm in winter and cool in summer.

After walking for more than 30 miles, I arrived at a small village, where I will camp tonight.

This is a small village with a dozen or so families. Wei Ruoshui's advance team, under the leadership of the guide, has already selected a campsite. As soon as the convoy arrives, they start to build yurts.

Jia Min, Baochai and other female relatives went to the lake.

"Oh, there's a big fish on that little island over there."

Qingwen had sharp eyes and saw it first.

Not far from the lake, there is a small island.There are actually many such small islands in Lake Feigal, and the largest one is more than 70 miles long.

"Where is the fish? It's clearly a beast. It is said that fish cannot live without water. How did it get on the island now?"

Daiyu raised a question.

"It can't be a wild beast either. All wild beasts have fur on their bodies. It seems that there is no fur on its body."

Miaoyu also made her own discovery.

"Brother Min, do you know what this thing is?"

Baochai gave Jia Min the chance.

"This thing can be called a beast or a fish. It's called a seal."

Seals are mammals, and it seems reasonable to say that they are beasts.But it lives in water, so it is right to say it is a fish.

"The leopards are all in the mountains and forests, how did they end up in the water?"

Qingwen still has doubts.

"It's not surprising. Aren't there seahorses, fur seals, and manatees in the sea? It's not surprising that there are seals."

Daiyu gave an explanation.

Lake Feigal not only has seals, but also large fish such as sharks.The fish resources here are very rich.

While talking, a fisherman rowed a canoe and brought two big baskets of fish when he landed.

This is the oyster salmon ordered by Jiao/Li who arrived here earlier.It's the caravan's dish tonight.

"There are so many chrysanthemums here, no wonder the ancient books call this place the Sea of ​​Chrysanthemums."

Baochai pinched a wild chrysanthemum, sniffed it under her nose and said.

There are many wild chrysanthemums growing by the lake, stretching across a large area, all the way to the distance.

"This North Sea is also called Bohai, Xiaohai, Bohaier Lake, and Baihar Lake. They all talk about this place. Unexpectedly, it was written in an ancient book, and now we will come here."

To be able to remember so many names in Beihai, Miaoyu is really knowledgeable.

"However, the earliest record is "Hanshu? Su Wu Biography". At that time, it was called Beihai. Unexpectedly, we have also arrived at the place where Su Wu herded sheep."

Daiyu's knowledge is not bad either.

"The climate here is pleasant, the scenery is beautiful, the products are rich, and the folk customs are simple. If we settle here in the future, how do you feel?"

On a whim, Jia Min wanted to test the thoughts of the girls.

So far, apart from Wei Ruolan, Lin Dajiang, Jiao Li, Dai Zhi, Liu Cheng and others, no one else knows his plan.

"It's quite like a paradise here, but it's too far away from the mansion."

Baochai said smoothly.

"Yes, if you stay here, you will go back to the mansion in the future. It will take half a year just to go back and forth. If you walk a few more times, you will be bumpy on the road for the rest of your life."

Daiyu asked a very practical question.

Jia Min picked up a stone and threw it into the lake. After Baochai and Daiyu finished talking, they didn't take it seriously, and the girls went to the lake to play with water.

Looking at their cheerful appearance, Jia Min couldn't help feeling a little sad.

For a time traveler like myself, this place seems to be a good place, but is it really a good choice for Baochai?
Although they left the imperial capital, went to Bukui, followed him here, and will go to France in the future, they still regard themselves as people in the mansion.

In their hearts, they still have to return to the imperial capital sooner or later.

Not only Baochai and Daiyu are like this, even Miaoyu and Qingwen probably have this mentality.

Aunt Xue and Xue Pan are still in the mansion, can Baochai really leave them alone in the future?

Although Daiyu is here now, but her ancestor is her grandmother after all, would she be willing to stay here?The old lady wouldn't agree, would she?
Fortunately, Daiyu said that she was not her own woman, so she left as soon as she left.

If it were the others, even Ping'er, Shen Bingyi, and Qin Keqing, would they be willing to be here in the future?
Previously, Jia Min once had an idea to move the people of Jia's house here before the house was ransacked, so as to avoid the catastrophe.

Now it seems that this is not an easy thing to do.

Tell them to leave the bustling imperial capital and come here, will they be willing?
