However, the Ming people had no intention of giving up.

They first attacked the Russian horse caravan that had come to deliver supplies nearby, and later even brazenly shot the guards at the head of the city of Ob. The guns of the Ming people were very fierce, the range was more than twice as far as Igornov's arquebus, and the hit rate was extremely high, and it was often the case that the guards in the fortress were shot from a distance as soon as they showed their heads.

The Ming people's "expulsion warning" was still repeated, and Laflovich was a little annoyed, frowning and muttering, "When will these guys shut up?!" ”

"Just calm down and get used to it." Igornov yawned, "Seriously, I don't think we will last long, maybe it's time to return to Bakchild......"

"What do you say?!" Lavlovich interrupted him dissatisfied, "How much effort did the Baron spend to build the city of Ob, which was the supply point for the expedition to continue east. If we give up here, we will completely give up the possibility of exploring eastward! ”

Igornov glanced at the young man with a tired expression, remembering that when he first arrived, his mind was also full of endless terra nullius and inexhaustible furs, gold mines, and fish, dreaming of becoming rich overnight. It's just that no one told themselves that there were still Ming people here, otherwise he wouldn't have come here if he was killed.

"Exploring east?" He shook his head and said, "None of the several temporary strongholds built by the expedition in the Far East have escaped the clutches of the Ming people. Now that they have built a fortress there, even if Ob City can hold on, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue eastward in the future......"

He moved his buttocks, "Besides, Ob City won't last long, the food in the warehouse is less than a month's worth of food, and the horse team that sent supplies has been more than two months late. Obviously, they were intercepted by the Ming people. You see, it won't be long before we either surrender or starve here. ”

Lavlovich sat up straight and said loudly: "You have to have faith!" His Holiness the Baron has asked His Majesty the Tsar to send an army to bring supplies, a regular army of at least four hundred, and perhaps a few hundred Buryat Mongols. As long as we have these supplies, we can hold on! ”

"So what?" Igornov still couldn't lift his spirits, "The Ming people have more supplies, and they will have a convoy to send supplies every twenty days. Yes, not half a year, not three months, not even a month, but every twenty days we have half a year's supply.

"What's the point of holding on? If you can't get out of the fortress, you won't have any fur, no gold, no sturgeon, and your lord won't even make a single profit from here, and he'll continue to lose money, even if His Majesty the Tsar supports ......"

"Warning again! This is the West Pol Xiwei ...... "Outside the city, the voice of the Ming people was a little louder.

Lavlovich was anxious by Igornov's discouraged words, and when he heard these shouts, he immediately burst out, grabbed the wall of fire beside him, got up and looked under the fortress, and said fiercely: "Damn, if you make any more noise, I will smash your heads......"

"Be careful!" When Igornov saw him suddenly get up, he was immediately shocked and pulled his belt hard, "Squat down, it's dangerous!" ”

"Smack—" There was a faint explosion in the distance, and there was an immediate echo in the empty pine forest.

Lavlovich then went limp, and collapsed at the head of the fortress wall, a finger-sized hole in his brow, and blood gushing out.

Igornov stared at the corpse for a moment, shook his head bitterly, and dragged him towards the stairs.

Under a thick pine tree one hundred and fifty steps away from the fortress, the hunter Ji Cheng withdrew his firearm, tightened the collar of his down jacket, and said with a smile: "Luckily, the Rakshasas have been vigilant recently, and it has been confiscated for several days. ”

A short man next to him smiled flatteringly, handed over a small notebook, and said in jerky Chinese: "Adults are like gods, this is the fifth of this month!" At this rate, it won't be long before the guards in Rakshasa City can be defeated by adults alone! ”

Ji Cheng's viewer Lu Wenyao scolded with a smile: "Is it true that all the Japanese people are like you? ”

The Japanese attendant said solemnly: "No, I'm telling the truth!" To be able to follow adults is the luck of Yajiro's life! ”

Lu Wenyao shook his head and ignored him, and turned to Ji Chengdao: "I don't know what the Rakshasa people are still holding onto?" ”

The latter said: "Most of them are waiting for that team of reinforcements." ”

Lu Wenyao picked up the binoculars and looked at the head of the fortress, began to look for the next "fat fish", and snorted lightly, "Reinforcements? Mr. Song Lian should have cleaned up those people. ”

"With the combat power of the Rakshasa people, it should be a sure thing."

Ten days later.

Tsarist Russia tried its best to form a reinforcement army, a total of 600 men and horses, was ambushed, and the whole army was annihilated. With the logistical capabilities of the seventeenth century, the limit of sending troops to Siberia thousands of miles away was about 600 men, and the cost was not less than tens of thousands of troops in Tsarist Russia.

When the news reached the city of Ob, Second Lieutenant Nestorov surrendered with the only 192 men left in the city and was escorted to Bakchar, hundreds of miles to the west.

The following month, the Daming West Polsiwei Special Warfare Battalion went out of Bakchildr to build a fortress, and advanced into the Russian hinterland with a great deal of relief.

Tsarist Russia was fighting fiercely with Poland at this time, and was already anxious, only afraid of being attacked on his back, so Tsar Mikhailovich had no choice but to send an envoy to travel thousands of miles to Nanjing, and signed the "Mingluo Far East Delimitation Agreement" with the Ming Dynasty.

The agreement stipulated that the Ming would not continue to advance westward and stop supporting the rebellious Cossacks, while Tsarist Russia recognized the east of Bakchildl as the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times and relinquished control of the Mongol-Buryat Ministry.

Although after Tsarist Russia completed its control of Ukraine, it sent troops to attack the area of the Ob River several times. However, at that time, the Ming Dynasty had been operating here for a long time, and almost all the main roads were built with strong fortresses, and the Tsarist Russian army all returned with feathers. However, the Ming army often took the opportunity to counterattack, and successively pushed the control area to the west for more than 100 miles, and even once attacked the Yenisei River.

……

Hanxing 3rd year, November.

Nanking.

In recent days, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Commerce have been extremely busy, and envoys from Lan, France, Ezia, Bayouya, and Francois have come one after another to make diplomatic representations, apparently because they have agreed in advance.

Without him, it is because the Daming maritime merchants make too much money, which has seriously touched the interests of these traditional maritime powers.

Xu Erlu and Huang Zongxi were so busy that they couldn't even eat a good bite of food, and it wasn't until five days later that they finally compiled the meaning of these envoys and presented them to the Son of Heaven.

In the Qianqing Palace, Huang Zongxi waited for Ma Wensheng to give a stack of official documents to the emperor, and then said: "Your Majesty, among the several countries, the attitude of the Helan people is the most arrogant, and they say that if the Ming Dynasty does not agree to their request, they will unite with the French to blockade the coast of Europa and attack all the nearby Ming merchant ships. ”
