Chapter 784 Sprinkling water turns into ice

The road was already very familiar, so we hurried all the way. Lu Lu and Lei Meng also helped take turns driving. It took two full days and finally arrived in Mohe in the middle of the night.

In order not to attract attention, Lu Lu gave Meng Zhaohua some money and asked him to lead the other two drivers into the town to find a place to eat and rest.

A few of them unloaded various supplies from the car, loaded them on sledges, and went into the mountains overnight.

The tent Zhang Shaofeng got from the Armed Forces Department was made of cotton, and its thermal insulation performance was much better than the one Lu Lu had destroyed by the blind bear. Of course, it was also a lot bulkier.

Entering the forest, we chose an open place, cleared the snow on the snow, and set up the tent. After a bumpy ride down the road, we all had little appetite, so we just warmed ourselves by the fire, fed the horses, and fed the dogs. After feeding him cornstarch, he was just about to get into the tent to rest when Raymond suddenly shouted: "Look at the sky to the north!"

Everyone looked up to the sky, and brilliant brilliance flashed in the night sky.

"Beautiful...what is that?"

Zhang Shaofeng looked at the night sky longingly, first praised him, and then asked.

"Aurora, it is said that only lucky people can see it!"

In order to survey the border situation, I spent a lot of time in Mohe, but I never saw it. I didn't expect that I saw it when I just came today. It was really luck.

"What is the aurora?" Liang Kangbo asked again.

Lu Lu laughed when he was asked: "I only know that those gorgeous lights in the sky are aurora. As for the specific reason... don't ask me. If you ask, you don't know."

"There are things you don't know!" Raymond laughed.

"I don't know much, but to be honest, brothers, you have to use your brains more. You can't point your fingers at me for everything. The most important thing is to work together. Otherwise, nothing will happen. You asked me to make up my mind, be careful of me leading you into the ditch, just like what we are going to do this time... don’t you have any idea at all?"

Lu Lu smiled bitterly and said angrily.

"What do you think? The elders have long said that the land was originally ours and was robbed. Let's go over and get something. I think it's reasonable!" Liang Kangbo said with a smile.

"Yeah, just fuck him and you're done. I think this is the wisest decision you've made since I took over. I firmly support it! It's just the wrong time. If there is such a possibility one day, we need to go out and save this great river." If you take it back, I will participate as long as I am alive." Zhang Shaofeng's face was filled with regret.

Raymond smiled: "Anyway, I have to give you a good deal this time!"

"By the way, how did this land get lost?" Zhang Shaofeng then asked.

"That was more than 100 years ago. In the past, the northernmost point of our country was not Mohe, but the Waixing'an Mountains, which is what Lao Maozi calls the Stanov Mountains..."

As Lu Lu spoke, he took out a world map that looked like a dictionary from his hunting bag, which detailed the geographical location, distribution of cities and villages around the world, etc.

The reason why I bought the map was because although Lu Lu had been to Lao Maozi before, he had only been in a few towns. He didn’t know anything about the situation in the mountains, unlike the Greater Khingan Mountains, Changbai Mountains, and Quanzhou Mountains. Darshan and the like are so familiar.

With this map, it will be a good auxiliary function, at least it can help determine where exactly you have arrived.

Now that we were talking about these things, Lu Lu simply opened them and let Zhang Shaofeng and the others know about them.

"In our country, there are two ridges or mountains with the word 'Xing'an', namely the Greater and Lesser Khing'an Mountains. Needless to say, there are two in Lao Maozi's side. One of them is Yabu, located east of Lake Baikal. The Lonov Mountains are our ancient Xing'an Mountains, the other is the often-called Outer Xing'an Mountains, and to the north is Lao Maozi's Lena River.

Here and here...this is the place we are going to..."

Lu Lu used his flashlight to point out various places to several people.

The heads of a group of big men were put together, and streams of white mist were sprayed out from their mouths and noses, criss-crossing under the light of the flashlight.

The Outer Xing'an Mountains area has been the place where nomads and fishing and hunting peoples such as Sushen, Xianbei, Mohe, Khitan, Privet, and Oroqen have lived for generations since the Qin and Han Dynasties. This was the place until the Qing Dynasty. A small number of Han people also moved to these places. .

A long time ago, Lao Maozi sent an expedition team to sail down the Lena River with six flat-bottomed boats, then sailed eastward and southward against the Aldan River, a large tributary, and then to the tributary Wuqiu. The Er River goes upstream to the south, then to the Gornum River, and continues south.

When they were on the Gornum River, many places were inaccessible by boat. They had to drag the boat ashore, around the waterfalls, and then into the river. Sometimes they had to place wooden boards on the shallow stone river bed to put the boat in the river. The boat slid across until late autumn and winter, when the river was frozen.

Some of the 133 people who came out at that time stayed in the Gornam River for the winter, and the remaining [-] people, who were lightly dressed, took sleds and walked hundreds of kilometers of water and dry roads to the south before entering the Waixing'an Mountains.

It was already winter at this time, and they finally met some Daur people in the Zeya River. They built a small military camp and began to steal and rob local people's food. In order to survive, they even captured and killed local residents and ate them. Later, , they even eat their own people, and after one winter, only forty of the ninety are left.

In spring, they joined the wintering team and continued southward along the Zeya River, killing people and setting fires along the way. This completely angered the locals and they were constantly ambushed and attacked. In the end, they had to take a boat from the Heilongjiang mouth. Return to Yakutsk by sea.

"Damn, they not only eat people, they also eat their own people..."

Several people shuddered after hearing this.

"What's so strange about this? Uncle Jiang said before he was alive that he ate leg meat from a rice bowl. That must be true. People can't do anything when they're extremely hungry. Why do you think Lao Maozi was tortured? Called a Rakshasa ghost?"

Lu Lu smiled: "I have to say something here first. When we get there, it's different from us here. We don't understand the language, and it's such a confrontation situation now. No matter what, we can't be discovered. If we are discovered, dare to come. If you’re looking for trouble, you know what to do, right?”

"I won't be polite to them!" Zhang Shaofeng snorted coldly: "It's just like when I was a kid. It's not a good thing. It only knows how to burn, kill and rob!" The other people also nodded silently.

"Then what happened next?"

Being intrigued by Lu Lu's words, even Lei Meng couldn't help but press him.

"From that time on, the leader of the expedition team sent their government a detailed report and maps of the various explorations along the way. The outer Xing'an Mountains, including Heilongjiang, were no longer peaceful. Many old men formed teams to climb over. Beyond the Xing'an Mountains, it enters the boundary of Heilongjiang.

They even call Heilongjiang the Amur River and regard it as their territory. They don't know that Heilongjiang already had our own name many years ago.

The Waixing'an Mountains used to be a perfect natural barrier, but it's a pity..."

Lu Lu shook his head slightly and continued.

At that time, during the transition period between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a large number of people from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties moved into the pass, leaving the Northeast empty. By the time the Qing Dynasty unified the world and went back to deal with the old Maozi in the Northeast, they had already been entrenched here for decades.

These latecomers, like the first expedition team, still killed people, set fires everywhere, and even brutally cannibalized people. From that time on, they were called Rakshasa.

By the time of Kangxi, he was determined to clear out these invaders and defeated Lao Maozi twice in Yaksa.

“It’s a pity that during the negotiations with Nerchinsk, on the one hand, Lao Maozi had been entrenched in these places for many years and had many strongholds, which were difficult to remove. In addition, Galdan’s invasion gave Lao Maozi an assist and lost Xing’an Mountain.

Those brats from Outer Mongolia are not good things either...

In fact, in the early Qing Dynasty, the border in the Northeast was relatively perfect, and the Waixing'an Mountains and Xing'an Mountains formed an excellent security barrier for the border.

We won the battle, but we also lost the Xing'an Mountains, which resulted in a large area on the Shilka River becoming Lao Maozi's, which then made them covet our Northeast even more, so they had to look at Shu, and while the Qing Dynasty was in a state of distress, they lost the outer Xing'an Mountains. Waiting for a place..."

Lu Lu couldn't help but shake his head slightly when talking about these things.

He couldn't help but think of the situation in his previous life. In later generations, in the Northeast, which had a small population, many people left for various reasons. There were many villages. After entering, all you could see were lonely old people and almost no young people.

There are fewer and fewer people...

Could it be that because of this, there is another possibility of being taken advantage of?

However, Lu Lu also knew that he would never see this matter in his lifetime, and it was not something that an ordinary citizen could interfere with.

He was always inexplicably excited and excited just thinking about entering Lao Maozi's side!

What comes to mind is the furs, sticks, and even gold over there!

No matter what you bring back, you are making yourself rich, and you are also supporting foreign exchange earning!

Lu Lu's state of mind at this time was completely different from that in his previous life.

After saying this, the ones who had the strongest reactions were none other than Zhang Shaofeng and Lei Meng.

Both of them had served in the military, and they had some deep-rooted beliefs in their hearts.

After two days of hard work, he was extremely tired, but now he seemed extremely excited. Even after he got into the tent and lay down, he still couldn't stop asking about some miscellaneous things.

Quietly, the sky lit up early in this small city with long days and short nights, known as the city that never sleeps.

This is a woolen thing to sleep on!

"Seeing that you are all in high spirits, how about we just catch up a little further? Go to a place close to the defense line, set up a fixed camp and then rest. We will first hunt sables and blind bears in the surrounding areas. When it snows, we will go there!"

"sure!"

A few people actually had no objection at all and were busy boiling water and cooking.

Seeing that the water was steaming and almost boiling, Lu Lu said on a whim to a few people: "I'm going to let you see something interesting today..."

He scooped up half of the hot water from a tea-making vat and walked to the open space in front of him, reflecting the morning sun. When several people looked at him, he swung his arm violently, and with the strength of his wrist, he suddenly The water in the tank spilled out in a semicircle.

In an instant, the steaming water vapor condensed into ice and lines, forming a large area, like a white peacock with its tail spread out, it was so beautiful.

Sprinkle water into ice!

Several people were stunned by this scene, and they all scooped up hot water to try it, even Raymond, the oldest, was no exception.

Zhao Yongke was the only one standing guard by the fire. He saw that the water that had finally been melted from the snow and was about to be boiled was gone in minutes. He looked at a few old men playing on the snow like a group of children and smiled. I got up and busily added more snow to the pot and continued to melt it.

At this moment, Lu Lu ran back with an empty vat and sat down next to him: "Third brother, I have to rely on you for this trip!"
