After Cao Wenzhao came to Xiaohai, the first thing he did was to read out the imperial edict.
The emperor ordered Xiaohai to be officially named Beihai, and Cao Wenzhao was appointed as Beihai General.
The Beihai Navy District replaced the Far North Military District.
The emperor transferred the four divisions of Zhang Zongling, Xue Boling, Sun Fumin, and Wei Junru to Cao Wenzhao's command, plus Yue Tuo's 10,000 Jianzhou Jurchens, and 10,000 Mongolian cavalry from Outer Khalkha, for a total of about 60,000 people, and the first step in the Northern Naval District is to occupy the land in the entire Ob River basin.
Before Cao Wenzhao came, the emperor told him that he would first build a stronghold in the upper reaches of the Ob River, and then radiate from this place to the entire plain, separated from the Far North Military City by about two thousand miles.
After the railway is repaired, head northwest.
Therefore, the Ming army's strategy was simply to build roads, guard roads, solidify roads, and use roads as the key link.
Because the population in these places is too small, it is impossible to fight without a stable food supply, and it is too easy to transport food by railway to supply the Ming army.
If railway transportation is only one-way transportation, it will obviously not be worthwhile, so Cao Wenzhao also has another task: logging.
The band saw manufactured by the Civilian Manufacturing Bureau played an extremely important role.
It was much faster than an ax in cutting down trees with less energy loss.
Therefore, at the request of Shi Kefa, Cao Wenzhao carried out a large-scale felling of a forest designated by Shi Kefa.
When the forest was almost cleared, Shi Kefa organized the local Buriyat people to start turning the explored mountain into a large cement factory.
He is ambitious and plans to build a sea-ring highway along the North Sea, which will be connected to the railway station, so that the rich natural resources here can be transported back to the interior.
In this way, the railway transported food, ammunition and other materials from the mainland, and when they returned, they brought the huge trees here with them.
The quality of the trees here is very good.
Whether they are used for building ships or furniture, they should be popular goods.
The money earned from selling the trees, after paying taxes and transportation fees, will belong to Haixi Mansion.
Shi Kefa insisted that the Waci people were also human beings and should be treated as such.
Therefore, in Haixi Prefecture, he first organized the Wazi people here into households, allocated forest land to them, and invited people from the Central Plains to teach them shipbuilding, fishing, and farming techniques, so that their food problem was solved.
After the construction of the Far North Military City was completed, Rakshasa people came from the north and were detected by the local Buriyati people.
These Buriyati people had been recruited by Shi Kefa and became government agents.
They immediately reported to Shi Kefa.
After Shi Kefa notified Zhang Zongling, Zhang Zongling was overjoyed and used two brigades to attack the Rakshasa Army.
Under their leadership, they came to fight against the Rakshasa people.
It turned out that there were only more than 300 Rakshasa people, armed with matchlock guns.
After the Ming army formed a formation, the Rakshasa army was not afraid of the enemy who were far more numerous than themselves.
They had encountered this situation many times before.
In the end, they fired a row of guns and watched the opponent escape. .
With disdainful smiles on their faces, the Rakshasa soldiers marched forward in formation.
The Ming army did not raise their guns.
When the Rakshasa soldiers reached a hundred steps, they simultaneously raised their guns and opened fire, knocking down sixty-seven out of ten soldiers in the front row of the Rakshasa army.
The Rakshasa people encountered an opponent using firearms for the first time in Asia, and they were momentarily stunned.
Seeing thousands of people on the other side, I realized that the other side was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
I suddenly panicked and wanted to escape, but the Buriyati cavalry rushed forward and blocked them behind.
The Rakshasa wisely chose to surrender, throwing down their weapons.
The Buriyati collected their weapons and tied them together with ropes.
Zhang Zongling looked at the firearms of the Rakshasa people and found that they were much behind the Ming army.
They all used match ropes to ignite the gunpowder, and there was no rifling or fixed gunpowder.
They all used a small gourd to hold the gunpowder.
He then handed the Rakshasa weapons to Shi Kefa and asked him to handle them himself.
After Shi Kefa asked clearly about the difference between Rakshasa firearms and Ming army firearms, he immediately handed over all Rakshasa firearms to the Buriyati agents.
Zhang Zongling suggested that he recruit Buriyati people and form a private army of Haixi Prefecture, which could maintain order on weekdays and serve as guides to participate in the Ming army's military operations in wartime.
Shi Kefa followed the good example and immediately established a Buriyati personal guard of 500 people.
Zhang Zongling breathed a sigh of relief when Cao Wenzhao arrived.

His qualifications were similar to those of other division commanders, even lower than Xue Boling.
The emperor made him the general of the Far North Military Region.
Although it showed that the emperor valued him, the military always valued qualifications and merit, and the emperor's appointment inevitably made other People were dissatisfied, and now that Cao Wenzhao came, he was relieved of his heavy burden, and at the same time he was relieved of the heavy burden on his heart.
Zhang Zongling handed over the information on the interrogation of the Rakshasa people to Cao Wenzhao.
Cao Wenzhao read it carefully and said: "It seems that the Rakshasa people are not slow.
They have occupied many places.
Although they are only a small force, They all have fire blunderbuss, the kind we saw today, which were lit with match ropes.
They were much worse than ours, but at least they were stronger than the Wacian people's bows and arrows.
They had not encountered any opponents along the way. " Zhang Zongling said: "Their strategy is similar to ours.
They build fortresses wherever they attack.
Although it is worse than our railway construction, it is still a rare and good method."
Cao Wenzhao smiled and said: "After all, it cannot compare with His Majesty the Emperor's foresight.
We also need to build fortresses, but without railways, these fortresses are actually of little use because the place is too big, unless they are completely disproportionate opponents.
Master Xue Mr.
Sun is still conducting geographical survey along the two rivers, and he should have encountered the Rakshasa people.
Let's contact them first and then decide where to go. " Zhang Zongling said: "It has only been more than a month since they set out.
It is impossible to send back the news immediately when they encounter the Rakshasa people.
It is better for my subordinates to lead a small and capable team to find out the news.
It will be faster."
Cao Wenzhao said: "That's okay, but how is your railway exploration going?"
Zhang Zongling said: "The professors and students of the institute are studying how to build a railway in this extremely cold weather.
The exploration must wait for the army to clear it before proceeding."
Cao Wenzhao said: "That's good.
When I came, the emperor said that the place where the Yenisei River and a place that may be called the Katsa River meet can be used as the next stop of the Beihai.
You know, we don't understand the emperor.
How do you know this place, but what the emperor said is right in the end, so find this place first, and then conduct surveys from Beihai to this intersection
