Like the tentacles of an octopus, like the roots of a big tree, the Huaxia Army has stretched its palms into various places in Siberia, although the reach is limited, but in short, it has entered.

In addition to a large number of soldiers, there were also a small number of soldiers and horses, dozens to hundreds of soldiers and horses, reaching into farther areas, using and occupying the original Russians, Japanese, Goguryeo, and the original settlements and cities built by the Qing Dynasty, but the places where these people were located were relatively far away.

Fifty kilometers, one hundred kilometers, three hundred kilometers, the farther the area, the fewer the number, the smallest team of only five people, they reached the top of the sea in Eastern Siberia, and rebuilt the settlement, lived in it, and guarded it for the Chinese Empire, sent two people at a time to liaise, and for two consecutive years to explore the terrain and draw maps, and reported to the Chinese Cabinet and the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Industry.

With the end of the war, the Huaxia Military Department and the General Staff Department sent 30 soldiers and men to take over the place, and escorted them back to a Japanese-built settlement of 200 people 350 kilometers away, where 30 families were stationed, with a total population of 150 people, and a reinforced platoon of 50 cavalry garrison brigades.

The farthest team in Central Siberia consisted of only about 80 people, five families, 22 people, a reinforced platoon, and 15 Goguryeo common people who had lived 150 kilometers away.

There are 15,000 people in the middle of the entire East Siberia, but they have to control the width of 2,000 kilometers.

However, this is only the first year, and in the second year, the Chinese Empire will send more civilians and soldiers and horses to reach here, with an estimated 500,000 and 300,000 soldiers and horses.

The winter slowly passed, and with the mobilization of the Huaxia State, a new round of occupation began, and the Huaxia State once again took out a lot of people and soldiers and horses to enter East Siberia and Siberia to build bases that could maintain more population, and at the same time sent more materials to the Qing State to ensure that the Qing State could hold on.

In the winter of last year, 300,000 people were executed for suppressing bandits, freezing to death, starvation, and rebellion for crimes, while the birth rate of the new population was less than 50,000.

Although the population of nearly half a billion people, who have experienced wars, disasters, and natural disasters, the 10 million people who can survive are the most elite, the strongest, and the most adapted population, but there are still people who die because the war has not stopped.

However, this is no longer a big deal, it is important that the Qing state report to the Chinese Empire on the results of their negotiations with the Russians, and obtain the consent of the Chinese Empire.

The result of the negotiations between Russia and the Great Qing Empire was that the Russians gave up the eastern defense line of the Ural Mountains and were taken over by the Great Qing State, anyway, where the rebels are now entrenched, the Great Qing State had to fight down, and the Great Qing State and the Russians divided the national border in the middle part of the Ural Mountains, and promised not to infringe on the interests of Russia and no longer expand to the West, and at the same time, the Great Qing State had to pay a lot of weapons and equipment, food and supplies, and release up to 1.5 million prisoners of the Russian and Western coalition forces, And Russia will also release as many as 500,000 captives of the Han Chinese and Goguryeo people of the Qing Dynasty.

When the result of this negotiation came thousands of miles and returned to Yanjing through the channel through which the Chinese Empire had transported supplies to the Great Qing Kingdom, it was already June.

In June, it was already very hot in Yanjing, and heavy rain came down from time to time.

The results of this negotiation were accompanied by a request from the Great Qing State and a negotiating mission from the Great Qing State.

Now if the Great Qing State releases the Russian prisoners, then their population will only be 8.5 million people, plus 1.5 million Han criminals and cannon fodder, as well as 500,000 rebel civilians and soldiers and horses, 300,000 rebel civilians and prisoners of Goguryeo, and the remnants of Southeast Asian indigenous officers and Japanese indigenous officers who have climbed to the middle of the official position of the Great Qing State, 50,000 people, There are 500,000 indigenous people and soldiers and horses in various places, and in fact, the population of the main ethnic groups such as Han, Goguryeo, and Mongols that the Qing Dynasty really has now is only 6.2 million.

Now they are entrenched in the middle part of Western Siberia and the middle section of the Yenisei River, in the lower reaches, a total of 930 km long and 600 km wide, and in a narrow area of the eastern part of the Ural Mountains, 150 km of territory.

Zhang Qiang sent Li Guangdi, Yao Qisheng, as well as Jin Sheng, Su Zhiqing, Huang Tao and other negotiators to negotiate with the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Qiang's bottom line is that before the arrival of this winter, cross the Yenisei River, with the Yenisei River as the border, where they can entrench for five years, within five years must fight to the west, the eastern section of the Ural Mountains can also do, and it doesn't matter if they go deep into the Ural Mountains.

The two sides fought for three months, and finally reached an agreement that by winter, or the beginning of spring next year, they must withdraw to the west bank of the Yenisei River, and then give them seven years, these seven years, the Chinese Empire still cares about their food, weapons and ammunition, and the rest is gone, and the previous materials of the Great Qing Kingdom do not need to be given to the Chinese Empire.

In seven years, 50 million pieces of materials in the first year, totaling 200 million Chinese dollars, 45 million pieces of materials in the second year, totaling 1.5 billion Chinese dollars, 35 million materials in the third year, totaling 1 billion Chinese dollars, 2,800 materials in the fourth year, totaling 800 million Chinese dollars, and 20 million materials in the fifth year, totaling 500 million Chinese dollars.

In fact, the materials for the next two years are only less than 400 million materials.

The requirement was that the cities they built and the farmland they had cultivated, as well as the defensive lines, should not be destroyed or demolished, and should be left to the Chinese Empire.

As for whether they can win against the Russians, or where to get land from them, it is not a matter for the Chinese Empire, which only needs land, as long as the eastern section of the Ural Mountains, the whole of Siberia.

Zhang Qiang prepared to push the soldiers and horses to the city of Tyumen.

After Tyumen City, it is not his business who belongs to that side, the Chinese Empire wants to open up wasteland, to develop Siberia, it will take at least twenty years to have a harvest, to hold this place, it will take a long time, or because it is not easy to defend, the troops are insufficient, maybe the descendants will not be able to hold it, but that is not what Zhang Qiang cares about.

The envoys of the Great Qing Kingdom went back in despair, and then began to evacuate the soldiers and horses and population of Lower Western Siberia and moved to the eastern section of the Yenisei River, collected the population of Middle Siberia near the east, gathered to the west bank of the Yenisei River, and mobilized troops and horses to start attacking the Russian rebels, seizing the defense line outside the mountains and at the foot of the Ural Mountains.

And the Chinese Empire also began to implement the agreement on transporting materials in the first year, of course, not all of them were transported at once, the first time was only one million quintals of grain, to ensure that the people of the Qing Dynasty would not starve to death.

Because of years of war, continuous migration, has been migrating for nearly 12 years, so the Qing Kingdom has no time to farm and build equipment, make weapons, food, clothing, use, all of them are guaranteed by the Chinese Empire, once the Chinese Empire cuts off the supply, they will all starve to death, if the climate in Siberia does not give food for a few months, tens of millions of people will starve to death in an instant.
