The Sun Never Sets Great China

After nearly a month of walking in the snow, the Harqin tribe finally arrived at the destination. The scenery in front of them was no longer a snow-white scene, but a withered yellow. The forage that had lost its nutrients lay on the ground, showing a chilling look. , but the withered and yellow fodder in front of them was the last hope of the Harqin tribe, and everyone couldn't help cheering.

This is a plain sandwiched between the tributaries of the Angara River and the Lena River. The water sources of the two rivers nourish the lush pastures closest to the North Pole on the earth. In addition, there are mountain peaks here to block the cold current, so that it will not be completely covered by heavy snow. , Even in the coldest time, the snow on the grass will not be too thick. Horses, cattle and sheep can clear the snow on the hay by themselves to cultivate hay, which gives them a chance of survival.

During the migration of the Karaqin tribe, people died and fled every day. There were only 10 people left in the tribe that used to count [-] people. The hay they brought was almost used up on the way. Although the tribe Everyone in the town was exhausted, and the livestock seemed to die at any moment, but they were undoubtedly saved now, and most of their livestock could survive the winter on the hay under the snow.

Their already hungry cattle and sheep began to plow the hay on the ground, and the picky eaters couldn't care less, chewing the hay on the ground with relish. The men, women and children of the Harqin tribe started to set up camp together. .

A few days later, the warriors of the Harqin Tribe finally regained their vitality, and the tribal leaders began to send out scouts to investigate the entire pasture. However, the news brought back by the scouts made the entire Harqin Tribe nervous.

Because the Rakshasa army, which has never built a city, has established a stronghold not far from the Angara River, and plans to build a city there. Once they build a city there, those greedy white long-haired giants The orangutans will definitely clash with the Harqin tribe.

The Siberian Khanate was destroyed by the Russians, and all Mongols remembered the brave and brutal Cossack cavalry of the Russians who would eat human flesh when there was no shortage of food. More than ten years ago, the Russians were only Near the Tunguska River, they arrived at the Angara River a few years ago, but most of them left after robbing the aborigines, and when they met them, these big tribes expressed their friendliness, and after paying a lot of gold and silver treasures Finally, those Russian troops also helped them attack the small cavalry unit of the Chinese Empire that followed from the south. They did not expect that they would build a city here so soon.

Maybe the army of the Chinese Empire is terrible, but the Russians are not weak. The Mongols have ruled Russia for hundreds of years. Since the overthrow of the Mongols, the Russians have never been weak when they treat the Mongols. The big nobles were slaughtered. However, minor nobles and ordinary civilians were driven out of the city and flowed into the countryside, where they became serfs of the Russian nobles for generations.

Of course, these have little to do with the Karaqin tribe. The Russians overthrew the Golden Horde and slaughtered the Mongol descendants of the Golden Horde, but this does not mean that the Russians will really treat the Karaqin tribe otherwise. Looking at it, Russia calls all the descendants of the Mongols Tatars. Treating Tatars, Russians will treat them the same under normal circumstances. Of course, they will use them when they lose the enemy. Last year it was After obtaining a large amount of property from the Tatars, they fought a battle with an army of more than 1000 cavalry from the far south with more advanced muskets. Of course, they finally found that the southern troops were very powerful. Under the joint attack of the army, they were still defeated, but those troops who came from afar from the south were also regarded as a miserable victory. Many people were frostbitten and less than 200 were killed or injured. They finally retreated due to the large number of spoils and heavy casualties.

But now, the Russians did not expect that a Mongolian tribe would move over in this cold time. They have built a lot of houses here in a few days, and now they are hiding in warm rooms to keep warm.

The Russian army does not exceed 300 people, and almost all the old and weak in the Karaqin tribe have died. Although there are only 8000 people, they can gather at least [-] soldiers. The Laqin Department was very relieved and did not take any action. They thought that the other party would definitely see their strength, and they would live in peace like last year. However, just in case, they also made some preparations for fighting and defense. The tribe built an outpost about ten miles away from the place where the Russian city was being built, and arranged people to defend it. Of course, the reason why the outpost was built there was that there were still many cattle and sheep gathered there to eat the hay there. Protecting the grazing men and horses, while defending the Russians.

The Russians who occupy the steppe between the Angara River and the Lena River come from the Stroganov family. A century ago, the then Russian Tsar summoned the leaders of the Stroganov family to inquire about the border situation and authorized them to resist the Siberian Khanate.

The Stroganov family built fortifications near the Siberian Khanate, recruited troops, purchased weapons, and waited for an opportunity to invade the Siberian Khanate. In 1574, the Stroganov family received an order from the Tsar to allow the Stroganov family to build cities on the eastern side of the Ural Mountains - the Ob River and its tributaries, the Tula River, the Tobol River and the Irtysh River. Recruiting troops, Russia expanded its power directly into the territory of the Siberian Khanate.

Adhering to the tsar's will, the Strogano family invaded the Siberian Khanate many times, and had fierce conflicts with the Siberian Khanate.It’s just that the force of the Stroganov family was not strong enough, so they had to ask for reinforcements. In 1579, the Stroganov family sent someone to contact the Cossack leader Yermak who had been severely punished by the tsar, encouraging him to join the gang and go to Conquer the Khanate of Siberia and serve the Tsar to colonize the territory.

With the help of the Cossacks, the Stroganov family's invasion of Siberia has been richly rewarded. They have seized the most land with the Cossacks in Siberia. The Stroganov family has relied on this for more than half a century. It has been growing, and it has also made their invasion of Siberia more and more intense.

In fact, the focus of the Russians is not in Siberia at this time. The west is their goal. What they dream of is to open the sea to the west. However, after they merged with Ukraine, the territorial expansion caused dissatisfaction among various countries. Poland and Turkey turned to Russia. The war was launched, and Sweden, the number one power in Northern Europe, was also wary of this newly rising Russian newspaper.

The Poles even reached Moscow, the capital of Russia, and they re-established a puppet tsar for Russia. Although the Poles were driven out by the Russians, they directly led to the extinction of the Yurik Dynasty in Russia, which ruled Russia for more than [-] years The earth dynasty perished.

Now that the Poles have been driven out for more than 40 years, Ukraine and Russia in the west have long been under control, but they can no longer take a step forward.Compared with the difficulty of invading the west, the Russians invaded the east very smoothly. During the Chongzhen period, there were Russians who tried to expedition to the northeast of China. These Russians were very small in number, and most of them were adventurers, criminals and Cossacks. , There are also big nobles like the Strogano family who have been authorized by the Tsar.

In just a few decades, these Russian adventurers, criminals and Cossacks crossed the Ural Mountains and obtained the Yenisei River, the Lena River, and the vast areas of the Chukotka Peninsula for the Tsar, and almost included most of Siberia. Russia's territory has been expanded, with an area of ​​nearly ten million square kilometers, but it is still not stable due to variables.

You must know that when Russia was founded, its land area was only 280 million square kilometers, and you know how much these adventurers, criminals, and Cossacks have contributed to Russia. If there is no resistance, Russian criminals, Cossacks, and adventurers will follow the history The trajectory, just a few years ago, was able to occupy most of Siberia's 1000 million square kilometers of land and invade China's Heilongjiang River Basin.It was not until the signing of the "Treaty of Nerchinsk" with the Manchu Qing that Russia's expansion to China came to an end.

However, a treaty was signed with the Qing Dynasty. Although the expansion of Tsarist Russia’s southward expansion temporarily stopped, it did not give up on its eastward advance. In 1695, the Yakutsk Warlord sent Cossacks to Anadyrburg. Some of them went to Kansas the following year. At the beginning of 97 on the Chaga Peninsula, Atlasov, the leader of 50 Cossacks, assembled a team of 120 people to conquer the Kamchatka Peninsula, where they fought fiercely with the locals, and then established castles such as Upper Kamchatka, and Send someone to guard.By [-], the entire Kamchatka peninsula was conquered and incorporated into Russia.After Russia occupied Northeast Asia and the Kamchatka Peninsula, it stepped up its advance to Alaska and the Aleutian Islands in the North Pacific.

Tsarist Russia's eastward advance mainly relied on the long rivers of Siberia, along the criss-crossing rivers and creeks, sailing from one river to another.In the middle of two similar waters and rivers, the Russians call it a land-and-water route.In winter, you can walk on ice.Connecting water and land can shorten a lot of distance.

In the early years of Chongzhen, the Russians had already occupied parts of the middle, lower reaches and upper reaches of the Yenisei River.The city of Yenisek was established, and with Yenisek as its base, it continued eastward and southward. These Russians came from Yenisek.

The Angara River is the only outlet river of Yuyuer, and there are as many as 330 rivers flowing into the Yuyuer Sea. If the Mongols still occupy the Mongolian prairie, they will be dismissive of the lower reaches of the Angara River. Their main activities are only near the Fishing Sea, and sometimes they graze in the lower reaches of the Angara River, but this is rare.

This era is different now. First, the Manchu Qing did not take down China, and they and Mongolia were forced to stop Tsarist Russia from going south in the north. Later, the Chinese Empire intervened, and the Chinese Empire firmly occupied the Mongolian prairie. The remaining Mongols who are unwilling to join the Chinese Empire can only focus on fishing in the sea. In order to avoid the raids of the Chinese Empire, sometimes they have to go to the lower reaches to graze, and the Angara River has become a Mongol Frequently visited areas.

Although the Russians are brave and have flintlock muskets that the Mongols do not have, the number of them is too small. In such a vast area of ​​Siberia, no more than 30 Russians and ordinary people have entered. Although Yenisek is the most important The number of people in the city is not comparable to that of the most remote prairie city in the Chinese Empire. Their military strength is only more than [-] people.

After many years of war, the remaining three tribes of Karaqin, Aohan, and Naiman Mongolia can still gather more than [-] warriors. For the Russians, this is a powerful force. The land of Siberia There are still many. Compared with the Mongols, the Tu people in other places are far inferior in military strength, so they are not willing to offend the Mongols now.

At the beginning, Yermak, the Cossack leader, only led a team of 840 people to conquer Siberia and achieved great success. This shows the luck of the Russians and the size of the Russian population. The Mongols who migrated northward in large numbers had more conflicts.

The Cossack leaders led their world-famous army along the waterways, passed the Chusovaya River, crossed the Ural Mountains, crossed the Serebryanka, Tagil, Tula, and Tobol Rivers, and finally invaded Er Zess.And a year later, he captured Kashrek, the capital of the Siberian Khanate.

For this reason, Yermak was pardoned by the tsar, and a large amount of salary was awarded in recognition of their actions. The Stroganov family provided weapons and was encouraged. They were rewarded with two cities, and in addition to a matchlock gun , and equipped them with some advanced flintlock guns produced in Western Europe, but let them deal with tens of thousands of Mongolian troops, especially those who sometimes migrated. The Junggar Department of the [-]-strong army is simply impossible. Therefore, everyone in Russia believes that this is not the time to confront the Mongols head-on. As a result, the Russians have not yet established the cities of Upper Yaksa and Nerchinsk.

In order to avoid the attack of the Chinese Empire's army, a large number of Mongolians would go to the lower reaches of the Angara River to graze in the summer and autumn of last year, but this year's situation is very special. The Chinese Empire just completed the unification of the whole country last year, except of course Taiwan and Xinjiang. And Tibet, the Chinese Empire has carried out a major reorganization of the army, especially the reorganization of the militia, so they did not send a large army to attack the Mongols in summer and autumn like last year, so that the Mongols can feel at ease on the pastures near Yuerhai. .

The Russians did not see the arrival of the Mongols in the summer. The governor of Yenisek City, Adaman Wall, who got the news, thought that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly sent people to explore the Angara River, and selected a place in the middle of the grassland. A suitable settlement began to build a city, named Ust-Kut, Vol believed.Only once the city of Ust-Kut is built, there will be nothing to do when the Mongols arrive the next summer.

It is obviously not enough to complete a city in summer and autumn. The personnel sent by Wall rushed to work day and night, and the construction of Ust-Kut City was still not completed before winter. He could not continue to build the city in that cold winter, so he had to withdraw first. The workers are gone, and people are sent to guard the place, and the construction can be restarted when the weather is slightly warmer in the spring of next year. Wall is not worried about the unfinished Ust-Kut city. As long as he sends more slaves, he can still rush in The city will be built before the arrival of the Mongols next summer.

The Karaqin tribe is also in trouble now. Although they have 4000 people, their horses are no longer usable. If they are forced to fight on horseback, they may only exhaust their own horses to death. People who have always ridden on horseback can only be transferred to infantry. It is extremely uncomfortable for them. If they are discovered by the Russians, if they are prepared, even if they can finally capture the Russian stronghold, the Karaqin tribe will suffer heavy casualties.

For the sake of prudence, except for the necessary scouts, the princes and leaders of the Karaqin tribe strictly forbid all people and livestock to come within ten miles of the Russians. The Russians never thought that the Mongols would come here in winter, and neither did the Mongolian tribes. People are willing to go to the Russian city to check or watch in the cold weather. After more than ten days of living in peace, the people of the Harqin tribe gradually lost their vigilance.

For Kurkovsky who was guarding the city of Ust-Kut, the Mongols who came this time are big fat sheep. Now other Mongolian tribes have not come here, and there is a lonely tribe of them here. , the most important thing is that Kurkovsky thought that the Mongolian outpost ten miles away contained all the troops of that tribe. There were only a few hundred Mongolians there, and the governor of Yenisek, Adaman Vol, who got the news, did not Tell him the actual situation of the Mongols. All the information shows that this is a fat sheep. Not knowing the news of the other party's main tribe two hundred miles away made his heart itchy. He decided to let him die without burial. This time, he was going to do a big plunder. For this reason, Kurkovsky directly sent his [-] musketeers to form a group without reporting Yenisek governor Adaman Wall The army raided the tribes of the Mongols.

After more than ten days of rest in the Karaqin tribe, although there was no heavy snowfall on the land in the dark night, the weather was still cold. Once night fell, the temperature often dropped below minus [-] degrees. The Karaqin tribe is ten miles away from Russia. There was no additional manpower for the sentry on the pasture. This season they only had to guard against wild beasts. Fences were placed outside the tents on the pasture, and wild animals could not enter. If that was the case, why should there be any sentry posts?

It’s just that this fence can prevent wild animals but not people. The gate was quietly opened by the Russians. Although the Russians tried their best to be careful, they still made an unpleasant creaking sound in the dark night, and all the Russians wanted to jump out of their hearts. , just heard a murmur coming from inside, and then it became quiet again. Those Mongolians guarding the sleeping cattle and sheep only thought it was the sound of the wind blowing.

Three hundred Russians quietly stepped through the fence gate and approached the camp where the Mongols lived. Although there are no complete buildings here, there are hundreds of tents erected. By this time, the Russians have no scruples , lit the torches, lit the tents one by one, and began to chop and kill the unsuspecting Mongols.

The screams sounded everywhere, and the Mongols who had just woken up from their sleep had no time to resist. The Russians seemed to be descended from heaven, and many Mongols didn't know what happened until they died, and their heads were chopped off in a daze.
