Song Tao said with a gloomy face: "In 1581, Yermak, a heavily wanted criminal in Russia and the leader of the Cossacks, led a group of nearly 1,000 outlaws to conquer the Siberian Khanate with the support of the Stroganov family. They advanced along the waterway, passing the Chusovaya River, crossing the Ural Mountains, crossing the Serebryanka, Tagil, Tula, Tobol rivers, and finally invading the Irtysh River.

In the face of the king of the Siberian Khanate, Kuchum Khan, they gathered more than 30,000 troops and won a great victory, and even captured Kashrek, the capital of the Siberian Khanate, on October 26, 1581. The first Russian Tsar, Ivan IV, was overjoyed, and he also tasted the sweetness of recruiting the Cossacks, so they became out of control, and the Cossacks became the vanguard of their development of Siberia.

With the introduction of serfdom, Russia simply did not allow the Cossacks to exist. But the Cossacks were very strong, and Tsar Ivan IV did not dare to squeeze too much, and now it was time for the Cossacks to go to the east, where there were borderlands. Occupy those lands in the name of the Russian tsar, and the tsar will give them those lands without paying taxes. The Cossacks, of course, were willing, but in fact had no choice.

The process of the Russians' eastward invasion was to first let the Cossacks go deep into Siberia with weapons, and when they arrived in a new place, they built fortresses and castles, and when they encountered a strong enemy, they burned and looted to force the natives to submit. Immediately after that, the Russian Association set up a governor-general and other administrative institutions in the local area to eliminate the stubborn resistance of the natives and protect the Russians who came to start businesses.

The Russians drove from one river to another along the large rivers and streams that crisscrossed them, and in the middle of two similar rivers, they opened a short passage to transport a large number of local products to the country. Many Cossacks also made their fortunes as a result. The Russians call it "land and water".

He said this and thought for a while, and then said to Qiang Quansheng: "Lao Qiang, you go back and personally select a group of good old hunters among the natives of the Outer Northeast of the Eastern Corps, and form several battalion-level units, and I will let Liu Baoguo lead the special combat team to go with them." You will also have great support from the Airship Force. It's up to you. ”

As soon as Qiang Quansheng heard this, he came to his senses, and hurriedly saluted Song Tao, and then said, "Commander, I'll arrange it now." ”

Song Tao and Wang Yaowu looked at the back of Qiang Quansheng, and they couldn't help but feel a little excited. They returned to this era and could finally kill Maozi.

At that time, Hailan Pao, on the side of the Heilongjiang River, "those who were seriously injured died on the shore, those who were lightly injured died in the river, and those who were not injured were drowned." The bones are overflowing, covering the rivers and oceans." On the shore, "mountains of 'corpses', mostly living people with breath of breath", were all "thrown into the river in an old mind", and a half-dead human raft floated on the surface of the water, tumbling and flowing eastward. This is the "Hailan Bubble Tragedy" that shocked China and the world. More than 5,000 Chinese were killed, and only a few swam to the other side and escaped.

At the same time as the Hailan Massacre, the Russian army pounced on the 64 tuns in Jiangdong. "Numerous sweeps" were carried out against Chinese residents. The Russian soldiers "drove the residents of each tun into a large house" and set fire to them, and most of them were burned alive.

The Russian soldiers again "set fire along the village". Houses were destroyed, residents were shot dead, and "those who did not cross the river, men and women, old and young, were forced into the river together, and no more than sixty or seventy people survived by floating in the water." The rest were forced to drown in the river, and the floating corpses covered the river for several days." More than ten days later, the bodies of countless victims who had drowned at the bottom of the Heilongjiang River surfaced on the surface of the water and flowed downstream, floating oil layers on the surface of the river. The river is strangely fishy.

Song Tao said gloomily: "Let's charge a little interest first." As for the blood feud between Hailanpao and Jiangdong 64 Tun in those years, after our Northwest Field Army reached the east shore of the Caspian Sea, the iron cavalry of our Far Eastern Army will wash the Russian plain with blood and burn Moscow and St. Petersburg again. ”

The Angara River originates from Lake Baikal, flows northward, then turns westward, flows through the southern part of the Central Siberian Plateau, and empties into the Yenisei River near the village of Strelka. It is 1779 km long. The basin covers an area of 1.04 million square kilometers.

Yuri was bored with his arquebus, and Sergei, his fellow Don countryman, was already asleep. The two of them were on duty tonight, and Sergey's guy had drunk a little too much tonight, and Yuri was too lazy to wake him up again. Anyway, several nearby villages have been wiped out by them, and their stronghold is not dangerous at all.

He came all the way from the distant Don River, and although he suffered a lot, he brought back a lot of things for his family, and he knew about those precious furs from the letters that his father brought to his fellow villagers, and sold them for a lot of money, and the life of the family was much better.

Since coming to the East, Yuri has killed many Tatars, and although they are brave, they are poorly armed, only a few rudimentary bows and scimitars, and they cannot be defeated by the arquebus in his hand.

Beyond Lake Baikal is the vast Siberia, which was called Shamberia in this era. It is sparsely populated and inhabited by some extremely backward nomadic peoples, including a large number of women, children and the elderly, and not all of them are professional soldiers.

Yuri's expedition consisted of more than 200 Cossacks, armed with sabers, spears, and front-loading artillery and arquebuses, and could almost walk sideways in this deserted region of Siberia.

In fact, most of the people who leave their hometowns and come to explore places thousands of miles away are people who are desperate for wealth and desperate for life, and of course there are many criminals and penniless vagabonds.

The leader of the expedition was Ivanov, who led the expedition with a Tungusic guide and went south along the Lena River, and finally came to the shore of Lake Baikal. They trekked through dense primeval forests with few roads and relied more on rivers for their migration.

It was almost exclusively virgin land, and the rivers could only barely accommodate small wooden boats, but the weapons were very mediocre, with not many advanced weapons other than a small number of thick and sturdy arquebuses.

Fortunately, they came all the way from Siberia and met primitive and backward natives who did not even have iron tools in their hands. The expedition established several strongholds along the Angola River, threatened with force, and collected tribute from the local natives, including sable, fox and ferret furs, which could be sold for a good price in Russia.

Suddenly, Yuri seemed to hear something, and just as he tried to stand up, he felt someone put his arms around his neck from behind and hold him to the mouth, and then, he was hit the head, and then he didn't know anything. (To be continued.) )
