The severe winter of the third year of Wanli arrived as scheduled, but the Ming Dynasty Expeditionary Force in Melica, North Asia felt the severe cold here three months ago.

Although they had gone far, the cold area of ​​this vast continent was too big, making the expeditionary army think that they would spend their entire lives here.

But at least Magui has been much better this winter than last year.

In May, his men established the first port at the eastern end of the Black Shui Martre Islands connecting Wangxiazhou with North Asia Melica, in the territory of the Jurchen Rei tribe, who had helped them have hundreds of clans and nearly a thousand people.

But it was actually just a small outpost with five iglooes and two wooden trestles. It was named Xialugang and Jurchen soldiers stationed on two small flags.

Regardless of size and location, it determines that Xialu Port exists only as a guide route and has no other strategic significance, because only ships can arrive near this small port in summer. Sometimes it is affected by floes and sometimes it may not be possible to pass through the ship at all.

The truly erected port of Magui is a bay that sails nearly 700 miles northeast along the coast of Xialu Port. It is called Mei Bay. It does not freeze even in winter. However, there are very few beaches suitable for bays. The Expeditionary Force searched for thirty-six days before finding an area on the beach where cargo ships and warships docked.

The harbor was not named at first, but it was called Majiagang after settling with the Expeditionary Force. The alive Expeditionary Force soldiers can now deeply realize how difficult it is to acquire land here to show their ancestors.

No one has the initial delusions anymore, they just want to live here, because it is more difficult for them to give up land that is within their reach.

The vast beaches of Majiagang lack excellent harbors, but there are large areas of tide mud zones, and there are fertile land suitable for growing grain a little far from the coast. From the bay, you can prey on a large number of sea fish, and there are a large number of lakes distributed inland. The plump geese, ducks and birds living there can be sufficient meat reserves.

There are Jurchens who are called themselves Yani, and Magui prefers to take them to the Yanishi.

Each tribe has at least dozens of them, and at most hundreds of them live between the west and the mountains, forests, lakes and lakes in the north. Most of them make a living by hunting. When Magui and his friends were out of date, several tribes attacked them and were wiped out and pacified, and more tribes established relatively good relationships with them. In fact, even Majiagang was guided by these "Jurchens".

Ma Gui gradually felt strange. There shouldn't be so many Jurchens in the world, but everyone looks the same. It's too polite to call them Han people, and it's too far away to call them Mongolians. The most similar savage Jurchens seem to be better than them in their clothes.

However, Mahjong was very good at dealing with problems. He wrote these things into letters, put them on his body and waited for the Ming army who was looking for them to come and send them back to Chen Mu in Tianjin, asking him to name these people.

On the third day of November, Huang Dao said: It is advisable to travel, enter the house, and be buried.

Majiagang is holding a funeral, which will be attended by Magui himself.

The cause of the incident was that Chen Mu served as the Minister of Beiyang and sent someone to search for Ma Gui, asking him to continue his mission. The search team followed their footprints on Shuihu Peak and searched south. After finding them, they left some supplies and delivered them to maps recorded in the East during the Yongle period.

The name of the map is "The Consciousness of the World of the World". In the 16th year of Yongle, Chen Mu himself had doubts about the records of the east side of this picture. The picture said that there was a buffalo on the other side like a camel on the back. Or the natives of Melica in North Asia were mostly ridiculous in riding and shooting, but they could create some possibility for Ma Gui, so they sent someone to General Ma.

The location on the map is unclear, and the level of mapping was not as good as that of now. Ma Gui general skeptically sent five Jurchen flag troops to the northeast on horseback and deer to find bison. The horses and wild horses really found them, looking like donkeys, they were powerless on their backs and could not carry people.

Although the bison was really found, the two flag soldiers who were frightened when they came back alive and insisted that they did not find the bison, saying that it was a monster with a thick flesh on its back with more than meter long and said that the Ya Nian people asked them to settle here was a conspiracy, and they wanted the monsters to kill them.

A monster had not fallen down, but more than a dozen monsters rushed over. Two flag troops rode fast on horseback, and the other three deer rode slowly. After being hit and died, they were trampled into blood and blood.

Later, Magui sent someone to bring back the body. A team of 100 households walked for eight days and searched on the spot for several days. They found the frozen corpse and found the blood-blooded bison corpse not far away. It took longer to come back all the way - the huge bison was too heavy.

The coffin was buried in the soil, and Ma Gui stood in front of the grave and bowed, then frowned and took people to see the cow corpses brought back by the flag army. They were used to separation from life and death, especially after landing in Melica, North Asia, some people starved to death and some people froze to death, some people fell into the mud and some people drowned in the sea, but this was the first time someone was hit by a livestock.

He had fewer and fewer people in his hands. Except for the few small flag troops stationed in the four envoys on the coast of the western coast of Melica in North Asia, his subordinates were only 273, and he temporarily settled in this port named after his surname.

Like the planning of the cities in the middle of the country, this harbor city, Majiagang, already had its own wall at this time, and was made of locally cut wood. In addition to three warehouses for stacking goods, the middle is an empty schoolyard near the beach, and the sides are bordered by neighbors. At present, only two streets of civil and wooden houses are built, and temporarily covered with leaves, soil and wooden boards, which looks very simple.

However, Magui has built burnt tiles in the north of the city, and soon they will have enough tiles to prevent the roof from leaking.

The body of the bison was placed on the school ground, and several circles of flag soldiers gathered around them. People only dared to look from afar but did not dare to touch them, for fear that this giant would come back to life and kill people.

Ma Jin pushed everyone away, kicked the bull's head, and compared it with the ox's tail with a measuring ruler, counting one foot at a time, turning to Ma Gui and said, "The body is ten feet and three inches long and the shoulders are six feet and nine inches high. No one can survive if you get hit by this thing - those A Nian people are uneasy to let us come here."

"Ha, I only saw a piece of food weighing thousands of kilograms." Magui didn't care about it. He walked up to pick up the ox leg, but he could only lift one ox leg. Panasonic clapped his hands and said, "I chopped off the skin and froze it for more than a month. I guess I can't eat it, but I can call it a good pound of pounds. After all, this is just a cow."

"The Beiyang ships can go directly to Majiagang. Calculate the time. A new fleet will come this month. They will transport cattle, sheep, horses, cloth and craftsmen, food and food, and more flag soldiers. I will write another letter to Chen Shuai for some pound of Fran cannons. Don't worry, these big cattle cannons can only be live targets."

"After the Chinese New Year, the fourth year of Wanli will be a good year. We can cultivate our own fields and raise our own livestock. The flag army left in the Yanian tribe should also teach a few natives who can speak Chinese. We will do some business with them and communicate with them. There are more land with larger personnel. Majiagang is just the beginning. Next year, we will continue to move eastward!"
