The squadron commander was a man of about thirty, lean, very tall, his eyes were slick and straight, revealing a shrewd and exposed atmosphere, he gave a military salute and said to Zhang Han: "Back to my lord, we received the order and rushed on the way, and we encountered two wolves on the way, and the wolf fight delayed time."

"Hmm." Zhang Han said: "Recently, there have been continuous wars, and the grassland has also been chaotic, and there are many wolves, so the military secretary will organize people to continue to fight wolves." ”

"Yes." The squadron commander knows the rules and knows how to answer at this time.

Zhang Han looked at a man with a burnt yellow face, who was also very thin, but he was very tall, with a large skeleton, and the beard on his chin was black and shiny, hanging down to his chest.

"I heard that you came from the Yulin Army? Named Yellow Tiger? Zhang Han said with a smile: "Li Mingwei, the commander of the soldier company, personally vouched for you before the military division agreed to accept you, because you are just an ordinary foot soldier, and you are not a family member or a personal soldier." ”

It was Zhang Xianzhong who was questioned, and he secretly went to serve in the army of Heyusheng that day, and it stands to reason that he would not be accepted, so as not to lead to unnecessary contradictions with Yansui Town. Later, he still captured Zhang Xianzhong's commander of the war company to protect him, and colluded with Yansui Town, so Zhang Xianzhong was retained.

"The subordinate was originally a subordinate of the deputy general Chen Hongfan, this person has no ability, and he thinks that he would rather lead the horse to a good man than be an ancestor of Lai Hanzi, so he joined the army overnight." Zhang Xianzhong was a little nervous, everything in the Shangtuan Army was completely different from the border towns, everything was based on actual achievements and merits, and the discipline was very strict in peacetime, and the military discipline was not as easy as the Ming army's beheading, but once the discipline was violated, it was resolutely enforced, without discount, and without negotiation. The atmosphere in the barracks is very good, the relationship between officers and soldiers is much closer than that of the Ming army, and they are very harmonious with each other, Zhang Xianzhong doesn't know what's going on, after staying in the merchant army for a month, he already feels very close to this group, and there is a feeling of integrating into the collective.

This feeling is wonderful, Zhang Xianzhong doesn't want to lose all this in front of him.

It's really strange to say that he doesn't want to be Chen Hongfan's personal soldier, but he would rather be an ordinary cavalryman in this merchant army that is not a serious military town of the Ming Dynasty.

"Well, that's good. I heard that you are very courageous, so do a good job. Zhang Han didn't ask too much, after all, he was just an ordinary soldier, and he didn't necessarily recognize the many company-level and brigade commanders in the Shang Tuan Army now.

"It's OK to get out." Zhang Han walked up to the battalion commander and said, "Shixiong, I have high hopes for you. ”

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Shixiong's face couldn't hide his excitement, and he said: "Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates will definitely arrive in Hanhai." ”

"Everything is based on training the army, and harassment and sabotage are secondary. In addition, the most important task is to receive the returning mission, even if it is not possible to meet in person. ”

"Yes." Zhang Shixiong agreed.

"Come out."

The chasers are finally out.

The first group of cavalry took their horses and mounted them in front of the square in front of the wide Khan's palace, then a squadron formed a small column, then a company column, and then the whole battalion of cavalry mounted their horses, their uniforms burning like fire, all the way to the north in the direction of the city gate.

……

The knight half a mile ahead raised his palm.

"Alright, the whole team stops, come down and rest."

Cossack Captain Gregory passed the order, and all of them took the horses.

This is a place where forests and steppes are mixed, the north is the Hanhai area, the cavalry is from the Hanhai, they came from Tomsk, crossed the Sayan Mountains, and then followed the Yeseny River all the way to the downstream, and then arrived at the new settlement of the Russians, that is, Irkutsk later, the pearl of Siberia, a must-visit place for Chinese to go to Russia for a short trip to Russia hundreds of years later, where you can appreciate the industrial achievements of the Russians, of course, the most important thing for the Chinese is to see the Hanhai, that is, Lake Baikal, The place where Su Wu used to shepherd sheep.

After arriving in Irkutsk, the cavalry continued southward, and began to be constantly harassed by the Mongols, and it was possible to engage the enemy every day.

It is also possible that the relationship between the Mongols and the Russians was much closer than that of the Ming Dynasty, especially since the Russians and the Oirat Mongols had been in contact for decades, and after the annexation of the Siberian Khanate, the Russians and the Mongols became even closer.

In fact, the two cultures share the same genes, and the Russians have been called the Tatars of Europe by serious Europeans, but they have not been wronged.

There were more than 300 cavalry members, including more than 100 on the Yusheng side and more than 200 Russians, including more than 100 Cossacks who served as escorts.

In addition to the Cossacks who guarded, Petrin's third envoy was to meet with Zhang Han again.

Of course, this time is to talk about the specific reasons for cooperation, Petrin threaded the needle, many times hard and even risked his life to run between China and Russia, nothing more than to do the trade between Russia and the Ming Dynasty, the trade between the two sides is fair and very complementary, even if hundreds of years later, the Russian fur and other specialties in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are still hard currency than gold, the vast Siberia has plenty of a variety of native specialties, many goods in the Ming side will definitely be very popular.

Silk, tea, and porcelain on the Chinese side are all the hard currencies that are well-known all over the world, and Petrin is very interested in He Yusheng's ironware, all kinds of groceries, canned food, and a large number of military products.

Interestingly, a few decades later, the Russians fought with the Qing Dynasty and gave the Mongols a large number of firearms when they supported the Oirats, and those and cannons became the confidence of the Oirats to challenge the Jurchens, but the Russians now feel that their firearms are not only inferior to those powerful countries in Western Europe, but also to the Ming people in the Far East.

Cossacks, caravans, this is the standard configuration of the Russians to open up Siberia, fortunately, there are also Dezhnev and others, and the nature of this team has changed radically.

In addition to Dezhnev himself, more than forty Russians went south, ranging from shipbuilding specialists, specialists who had specialized in designing hulls, to highly skilled shipbuilders...... This time, due to Zheng Zhilong and other experienced navigation experts, He Yusheng is really worth the trip, the essence of the entire Russian maritime career, and it is also the top talent they plan to explore the northern seas in Siberia, this time it can be regarded as a pot served by Zhang Han!

This pot directly wiped out the achievements of the Russians in exploring the Arctic Ocean along the Yeseny River north, and also brought to He Yusheng the best group of shipbuilding and ocean-going experts in this era, except for the Netherlands, Spain, Britain and many other maritime powers.

It had just fallen after the last snow had fallen when the cavalry had gone out, and the people were still wearing thick fur clothes, and it was already summer when they crossed the Sayan Mountains and went south along the Yesenyi River, and when they had rounded the Hanhai to reach the middle ground between the city of Kulen and Irkutsk, and had gone back and forth in circles to avoid the Mongol search cavalry, they realized that the evening wind had begun to get cold again.

"This walk has gone through the three seasons of winter, spring, and summer." Mo Zongtong and a group of people sat cross-legged face to face, looking at the grass tips that were a little yellow, and smiled bitterly.

The people present had similar feelings to Mo Zongtong...... It's been going back and forth for too long.

Zheng Zhihu couldn't help but say: ", I'm afraid that it won't take half a year to come and go, Russians and us do a hanging trade, trade twice a year, how much can we earn?" ”

Of course, the Russians are not able to build roads in the Far East now, and in many places as long as the forests are dense, or there are small rivers and hills blocking the road, they will directly detour, even if the so-called places with roads are nothing more than people walking on the map, and they are simply grass or shrubs.

Sometimes don't look at hundreds of people walking together, in fact, the land is vast and sparsely populated, making people feel like sailing on the sea, this kind of place, riding horses for a day may not be able to see a person...... No, even if you ride a horse for ten days, you may not be able to see a trace of people, let alone roads, villages, bridges and everything related to civilization.

Everywhere there are dense forests, meadows, shrubs, hills, everything is uncultivated and wild.

There were wild beasts everywhere, and a lot of prey could be hunted at any chance, and almost everyone in the mission now had a good marksmanship...... Nonsense, hunting every day for months on end, unless you are stupid enough to get home, you will definitely become a good hunter.

Zhang Xuwen smiled and said: "Russians are not stupid, they can't trade or are not profitable, so they won't be so concerned." I think they will first make a settlement here in Hanhai and build some wood for long-term storage of goods, whether it is for trade or ready to be shipped to us, it is much more convenient to have such a point. In addition, it is necessary to make a larger point on this side of the grassland, the storage point, and the trading point are all there, and the rest is to consider transferring it back. I see them carrying them all the way from Tomsk to their part of Europe, which is said to be thousands of miles away, and they have not done the same? ”

Mo Zongtong also said: "This time the slow walk is mainly because on the return trip, these guys are still testing and exploring the road, they have to calculate the best passage before and after crossing the Sayan Mountains, and then there is nothing to say, go all the way down the Yeseni River, arrive at Hanhai, and then build settlements and storage areas on the steppe on the south side of Hanhai, according to my estimate, if they no longer test the road and avoid the northern captives, they will go from Tomsk to Hanhai, and then here, more than two months will be enough." ”

He Bin showed a contemplative look on his face, and he said: "If they plan to build a trading city here to attract more Russian merchants to come, we will be mainly Yusheng, and Mongolian merchants and other merchants of the Ming Dynasty can come to trade, in this way, there will be goods in and out all year round, and their caravans can come and go in an endless stream, so that the transportation cost will be reduced a lot, and the time cycle will not be too long." ”
