In the early morning of the beginning of summer, it started to drizzle in the sky of Longquan Prefecture, Shangjing, Bohai.

This is not a good phenomenon for the right-wing army of the tribal coalition forces in the Shangjing area. The arrival of the beginning of summer and the Bohai Sea area also means the end of the long winter. Although the spring is late, it still comes eventually. The earth warms up and the glaciers thaw, taking away the ice and snow and cold. It also means that the spring flood is coming, the river water rises, the swamps are recovering, and the right-wing coalition forces in Shangjing also lose the last opportunity to evacuate. If you want to leave, you have to wait at least until ninety months. This means that in the long six months, they can only confront the Qin army to the end.

However, the arrival of Lixia is excellent news for the Qin army.

The beginning of summer, the Central Plains has ended and entered summer, but for the Bohai Sea, especially the north of the Bohai Sea, it has just ended the long winter and started to enter spring. Spring is warm and flowers bloom, and the ice and snow melt, which means that the Qin soldiers who had been in the Bohai Sea battlefield for a winter finally did not have to face the staple food made of various fish all day long. In winter, transportation and supply in the rear are difficult, and most of the Qin army's food is self-sufficient and locally supplied. Although Bohai agriculture is still pretty good, it has declined after several years of war. However, the Bohai Sea land also has a characteristic, that is, it was originally a fishing and hunting place. The Marines used to be a semi-agricultural and half-fishing tribe, and the fishing and hunting resources here are very rich.

The Qin army had extremely advanced fishing techniques and fishing tools. Even in the cold winter, they could still fish under the ice. Under the big lakes and huge glaciers, the Qin army's special fishing team brought them from the rear with the big fish nets they brought from behind. The harvest every day was amazing. The fishing team of the Ninth Legion, which created a record of single net fishing last year, used a huge fishing net of 700 feet long. In the Meituo River, it took nine hours to smash the ice to open holes. One net caught a total of 150,000 kilograms of fish. With the guidance of the experienced macaque fish, they caught more than 20,000 large fish with more than 5 kilograms at a time.

It can be said that it is the rich fishing and hunting resources in the Bohai Sea that make it less difficult for the Qin army to station in the Bohai Sea.

To put it simply, the Bohai Sea, especially in the northern region, is really a roe deer scooping fish. Here, food is not the biggest difficulty. The only thing limiting the troops is cold. Preventing the cold and how to marching and fighting in low temperatures are the biggest difficulties. Fortunately, the Qin army has vigorously developed cotton planting in recent years. The Qin army soldiers were equipped with many cotton robes, so that even soldiers from the Jianghuai land could withstand the cold. Especially in this winter, those tribal troops could not shrink, which made the Qin army safely spend another winter.

Now, spring has returned to the earth and the Qin soldiers who have eaten fish for a winter are all happy. As the rivers thaw and the arrival of spring flood, the navy supply ship that had not been seen for half a year has finally appeared in front of everyone again by the wind and waves.

At the Heishui River Wharf beside Delhi Town, Li Jing was leading the soldiers garrison in the city to stand on the dock and waiting for the naval fleet to dock. This time, the naval fleet not only transported the first batch of supplies, but also took on an important task. After unloading the supplies, this fleet will carry more than 30,000 tribal troops of Li Jing and the newly formed 22nd Legion composed of the surrendered troops of Marine, Shiwei and others, as well as the 50,000 guard troops formed by Li Jing's Six Guards, plus the navy and the navy's Marine Corps, a total of 100,000 people, along the Heishui River, they rushed to the rear nest of the northern Heishui tribe along the Heishui River.

The Hei Shui Tribe Alliance has nine major tribes below, namely the Hei Shui Tribe, the Tieli Tribe, the Fu Nai Tribe, the Yue Xi Tribe, the Yu Lou Tribe, the Si Mu Tribe, the Qishu Tribe, and the Mo Ye Ji Tribe.

From the Yulou tribe, Tieli tribe in the Meituo Lake area to the northernmost part of the Cathedral on Sakhalin Island in later generations, the Hei Shui tribe alliance has a huge territory, but it has always been a fisherman and hunter, and the alliance is very loose. Moreover, the biggest difference between the Hei Shui tribe and the Bohai people, even the Khitan, Shiwei, Xi and others is that they are the only tribal alliance in the north with braided hair. Their appearance is very different from other tribes. They are all braided hair, and they also have wild boar teeth, wearing leather hats on their heads, and pheasant feathers, which is significantly different from other tribes.

This is a tribe that insists on fishing and hunting. It is fierce and barbaric, but has a great weakness. Although they can be soldiers from all over the country, they live in the harsh Northeast region and have a small population. Compared with the Sumomo people of the same tribe who have been in the country for more than 200 years, the population of the Bohai Kingdom, which has been in charge of more than 200 years, is less than one million.

Now all the Hei Shui tribes mobilized to fight with the Bohai people. Almost 200,000 young and old were recruited to the Bohai front line, and their rear was extremely empty. It can be said that except for some women and children, there was no army at all in the rear of the Black Water Alliance.

They never thought that when they fought all the way to Shangjing, one day someone would be able to pick up their way.

Li Jing liked to be unexpected, and they didn't expect that by now, Li Jing had almost conquered the tribes of the Black Water Alliance of Bohai and Hei Shui. Li Jing initially conquered the troops behind Shangjing Prefecture, and then lured them to surrender, and asked these tribes to persuade their tribes to surrender. In the end, Li Jing brought all the three tribes over.

Now, Li Jing is a 22nd legion composed of 30,000 soldiers from the three major tribes as the pioneers, and then takes his own guards, not taking those difficult roads. Instead, he takes the battleship directly and flows down the wide Heishui River. Li Jing does not need to conquer all the tribal villages in the dense forests and mountains one by one. All Li Jing needs to do is to capture the large settlements of several tribes along the Heishui River, especially the Great Governor's Office of the Heishui Tribe.

The Heishui River Basin during the spring flood was dangerous, with the outbreak of the rising rivers and countless swamp traps everywhere, but for the Qin army, they had countless warships. The spring flood caused the river to rise sharply. Instead, their warships could become more and more like fish in water. They could advance at the fastest speed, far beyond the imagination of tribes. For thousands of years, they lived in this area and had never encountered such an enemy.

"Does the king think this move work?" Gongsun Lan looked at the tribal soldiers who had already changed into neat red Qin army robes, holding standard Qin army swords and spears, but one by one, the front heads were shaved, and there were still a small handful of hair on the back of her head. She tied into a long and thin braid, tied with ribbons of several colors, and tied with hunting teeth. She always felt a little uncomfortable, "These braided wild boars always feel uncomfortable to see. Are these people reliable?"

"This is just their tribal custom. As long as it can be used by us, we don't have to worry about it for the time being. After we establish a stable rule here in the future, we can also order that all tribes must not leave their own discernment. Give them orders, leaving their braids without their heads. Leave their heads without their braids, and naturally no one will leave them."

Li Jing called Zhang Zimian, Lin Wei, Wang Chong and Li Cunxiao.

"I took 50,000 troops from the Six Guards, as well as the 22nd Army, the Navy and the Tiger Shark Army to raid the Hei Shui Tribe's hometown. The four of you took the remaining 150,000 people to stay. If what I expected was not bad, after we transmitted the news of the old nest to the Hei Shui Tribe back to Zhongjing, the commander of the Right Army coalition and the great commander of the Hei Shui Alliance, Agulang, would never sit still. If our judgment is not bad, Agulang will definitely lead the Hei Shui Tribe army to leave Shangjing and try to return to the tribe. I need you to defend the defense line and block them. By that time, they will have a hard time returning home, and Shangjing will be recovered by us. At that time, the right army will collapse without fighting."

"Your Highness, please rest assured that as long as they dare to leave the turtle shell of Shangjing, we will let them be wiped out by the water river in one fell swoop." Li Cunxiao said loudly.

"No!" Li Jing shook his head, "Just stop them and don't let them go back, there is no need to fight with them. What we need to do is to lead them out of the hole first, and then recover Shangjing and other places. Then surround the right army in the town of Deli, Tieli Prefecture, and wait until I break their nests, we will come and persuade them to surrender."

"The King of Qin plans to surrender to them, but I'm afraid it's difficult?" Wang Chong said.

"As long as our plan is successful, the army on the right will lose both the nest and the station of Shangjing, and be trapped in the town of Delhi. What do you think they can do besides surrender?"

In the drizzle, Li Jing bid farewell to the generals and boarded the warship with Gongsun Lan, Meghan and Julie. Several women insisted on staying and said they would return to the Central Plains to have children. Li Jing was helpless, but thinking about it, there should be no accident on this trip, so there should be no accident, so he agreed. Anyway, Li Jing also planned to attack along the Black Water, and finally went directly to the sea and returned to the Central Plains from the sea.

On that day, Li Jing led 100,000 troops to board the navy fleet, went down the Songhua River, left Tieli Mansion, entered Huaiyuan Mansion, and then went out of Huaiyuan, from there to Heilongjiang. Along the way, the Hei Water tribes living along the Black Water were all hit like storms.

Under the guidance of the 30,000 Braids Army, the tribal villages and towns along the coast and on some tributaries were all hit.

Li Jing's order is very simple, either surrender or perish.

Those who refused to surrender were all beheaded, and all the tribe men and women were captured and replaced as slaves. Those who surrendered were temporarily left the village and brought to temporary dock market towns established along the Heihe River in Heilongjiang. Men over fifteen and under sixty were temporarily transferred to the 22nd Legion. Li Jing did not really need these soldiers. Doing so was just a way to remove the firewood from the Hei Shui Tribe Alliance. Without men, these tribes would be removed from their backbone, and the subsequent work sent to take over here would be much easier.

During the attack down the river, the tribes were still very strong at the beginning, but after Li Jing deliberately instigated the bloody suppression and massacre of the 22nd Legion's Braidi Army, the others heard the wind and saw the fierce side of the Qin army, and were already extremely weak. There were not many soldiers who stayed behind the villages of the big and small tribes in their homes, and they all honestly surrendered. Li Jing had expected this that the Black Water Alliance was a barbaric and backward fishing and hunting tribe. It was useless to blindly talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality to them. Only after showing them the power of the strong will they know fear.

The more you go down, the more soldiers the Braids Legion will grow. When Li Jing arrives at the center of the Hei Shui Tribe, the Bolizhou of the Hei Shui Governor's Office, Li Jing's Braids Army has reached 80,000. This Braids Army can be regarded as a boy scout, because the young and strong were conquered long ago, and there are very few elderly people. Most of the remaining people in the village are old men over 60 years old, and Li Jing is too lazy to take them away. As a result, there are basically no boys over fifteen years old, and finally some braids who are unwilling to show their merits.

The soldiers simply brought all the teenagers over ten years old. Li Jing looked at the teenagers, perhaps because of the special environment. These teenagers were very strong, far beyond their peers in the Central Plains. Even a ten-year-old child would ride a horse and shoot arrows. Finally, Li Jing brought all these teenagers. He had a new idea, which was to bring these young keels back to the Central Plains, give them new Qinfan education, and let them return to the stee in the future as his pioneer in rule over the stee region of the Northeast.

Bolizhou is the garrison of the Great Governor's Office in the early Tang Dynasty. The leader of the Hei Shui Tribe Alliance was granted the title of the Great Governor. The Great Governor's Office was established, and then the nine tribes of the Hei Shui Tribe Alliance were appointed as the governors of the state. With a state set up, it implemented a ruling rule. For hundreds of years, Bolizhou has been the center of the Hei Shui Ministry and the center of the entire alliance. It is considered a relatively prosperous place. It has built a city with a circumference of eight miles with mountains and rocks. Although this is only the size of a small county in the Central Plains, in the Bohai Sea, it is the most prosperous and lively city within a radius of thousands of miles. At the most lively time, there were tens of thousands of people in the city.

When Li Jing arrived at the city, the Boli City, which was built on the south bank of the Heilongjiang River and the Ussuri River, had already opened the city gate and put down the suspension bridge. Three days ago, before the Qin army arrived, the vanguards of the 22nd Legion's Pigzi Army vanguards sneaked into the city, and then suddenly launched an attack in the middle of the night, controlling the city where only 300 tribal soldiers were left.

After resting in Boli City for three days, Li Jing left behind a squadron and a wing of the Tiger Shark Legion of the Navy Marine Corps, and left a 5,000-pig line to garrison here. Then Li Jing led his troops to continue down the river.

Simu tribe, Mo Yiji tribe, and Junli tribe. Along the way, Li Jing's army conquered the Black Water tribes one by one. The Braidi army entered the territory of each tribe in advance, spreading various news about how powerful the Qin army was. The tribes had no resistance. Often, Li Jing's army only attacked a few towns along the coast, and the other tribal villages and towns farther away came to surrender. Faced with an unprecedented army, they were panicked and trembling. Many people believed the rumors that the tribal soldiers who went to the expedition died in the Bohai Sea. Otherwise, how could the Qin army in the distant Middle-earth come here?

You know, they have fought with the Bohai Sea for hundreds of years and thousands of years. In the past, the people of the Bohai Sea have never come to this distant northeast.

In July, Li Jing's fleet was loaded with Qin Army Imperial Guards, Navy Marines Tiger Shark Legion, and the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, and 150,000 men, young girls, young women, and young women who arrived at the estuary.

Li Jing had conquered eight of the nine tribes of Hei Shui. The last one was on the Kou Shuo Island on the sea east of the estuary, which was on the Sakhalin Island in later generations. The Kou Shuo Department guarded a huge island, but its strength was extremely small. The total population was only more than 50,000, and there were very few tribal soldiers, and most of them were summoned to the Bohai Sea. Li Jing just sent a few fleets to lead the landing team to land from several places. It took only half a month for the Kou Shuo Department on the entire island to completely surrender to Li Jing.

In August, the huge navy fleet set sail again. After a year and a half, Li Jing finally set off and returned to the Central Plains. When he came, he brought 200,000 soldiers and 100,000 civilians. When he returned, he also took away 300,000 people, but among them, there were 200,000 men, women, young and old. This time, Li Jing could be said to have taken away all the last seedlings of the Black Water Division. As long as he could successfully surrounded the Black Water Division's army and persuaded him to surrender, the entire Black Water Division would be completely surrendered to him under his control.

"The territory of the Black Water Basin is so far away from the Central Plains, is it worthy of the big fight to seize him?"

Megan asked on the deck of the flagship of the Shirley. In her opinion, it was too far and remote, and the climate was so cold that it was simply a primitive world. It was too expensive to run it.

"It's worth owning. Don't think that it's barbaric and primitive, but it has the most fertile black soil. Although it's a little cold, we have cotton, coal, and plenty of wood here, so it's not a problem to prevent cold. As long as we can conquer the indigenous tribes here, remove some of them, and then immigrate to the real border, and have an official host to develop. I believe that this place will eventually turn from a bitter and cold land into a golden land and a granary outside the pass. Moreover, operating this place,

It is not just about considering this aspect. Our focus is in the east, in Hebei and Shandong. Now we develop Liaodong as a barrier for Hebei. Conquering and developing the Marine is actually for the strategic security of the entire Qin vassal. Only with the security of the Northeast, the entire Hebei can become our core area, and Yanjing can become the real base camp. From then on, we can move westward and southward safely, expand territory, and build a great country for our descendants for generations!"

Although Megan didn't understand completely, he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then you can make some money. Our navy wants to build a navy base here and firmly guard the estuary of the Black Water."

"Well, I plan to build a main base in Vladivostok, station a fleet, and then build a forward base at the entrance of the Hei Shui River and a squadron. After you go back, you will draw a form for me. Whether it is personnel, materials, money, food, etc., I will give it to you first." Li Jing looked at her high and bulging belly, "It seems that the child will not be able to wait to return to the Central Plains to have another birth. I guess he will have to give birth halfway through. Do you stay here to give birth?"
