The Western captives, armed with the flintlock pistols that had not been replaced for many years, began to hit the road when spring came, and the scout cavalry of the Mongol soldiers were guarding and encircling them, one to prevent the captives from escaping, and the other to reconnoiter the movements of the rebels.

The road in early spring is still very muddy, people and horses are not very comfortable to walk on it, it is very difficult to walk, the early spring in Siberia is already May, the grass and trees are sprouting again, some places with warm climate, it is already green, but after the soldiers and horses walked, a winding black belt pulled behind, that is the land that has been trampled.

There are only a few roads in Siberia, that is the Chinese Empire and the Qing Dynasty prisoners, people, and foreign people for the Qing Dynasty to garrison liaison, immigrants transfer some roads built some roads, these roads are equivalent to some rural roads in later generations, that is, only widened, compacted, can accommodate a carriage to pass the dirt road, such dirt roads are still very few places, the avenue to say from Heilongjiang to Chita, Vladivostok, or to the south bank of the Lake Belga, where is the road built by the Chinese army engineers and merchants, In order to control these places, in order to allow the soldiers and horses of the Chinese Empire to reach Siberia as soon as possible in the future, the standard is hard asphalt black stone, cinder paved roads, and other roads that people and wild beasts walk on, so they are like this.

The running scouts kept sending the news of the front reconnaissance into the army, and there were also messengers who reported the situation in various places into the army, as well as the holy decree of Kangxi in the rear, the orders and situations of various yamen, this is a huge team, 200,000 Han army banner soldiers and horses, the population and strength of the Qing Dynasty are limited, so only the Han flag can be used, that is, those Han descendants who want to become Manchu from the bottom of their hearts, 500,000 prisoners of the carefully selected Western coalition forces, these are veterans who have fought countless battles, they have not many weapons in their hands, and there is not much ammunition.

Their weapons and ammunition are all in the camp tents of the Manchu 30,000 people of the Chinese army, and then the Manchus will distribute these to the Han army flags, and then the Han army flags will be dismantled and merged into these soldiers and horses, and then the chief officer above will be the Manchu, the adjutant will be the Han, and the reorganized and assigned officers of the Western coalition will serve as the chief of staff to command those soldiers and horses.

Of course, the commanders below are also equipped, and when they reach the battalion level, they are the commanders of the Western coalition forces, and at the regimental level, Han army flag generals, brigades, and Manchu commanders, Han adjutants, and Westerner staff officers are also set up.

The Han soldiers extended to the company level, and each Westerner's company had ten Han soldiers as overseers and one Han junior officer, who were the overseers.

The Han army flag distributed a lot of soldiers and horses, but still retained three Han army banner army with a scale of 10,000 people, and participated in the battle, the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses did not participate in the war at all, and the chief officer sent to supervise the army level led 3,000 troops, the division level chief officer led 1,000 soldiers, the brigade and the chief officer led 300 soldiers, and the regiment-level chief officer led 50 soldiers.

In charge of transporting supplies and baggage, it was the Goguryeo servant army and the people, as well as some Han people's husbands, and the Manchu generals as overseers, led a thousand troops to supervise anytime and anywhere.

Such a group of soldiers and horses, together with an army of 1.2 million Goguryeo servants, first circled around the Han settlements and Goguryeo settlements around the city of Bletzk, and a month passed, but no one around resisted, so they walked fast, and when they could travel long distances in May, they headed towards Upper Central Siberia.

Why not first pacify the biggest enemy, and then try to quell some of the less fierce resistance?

This is because Kangxi thinks that first win over the majority of the Han people, extinguish some small resistance, and then gather where the Han soldiers and horses and the soldiers and horses to suppress the bandits, and finally besiege and solve the city of Omuirminsk, so as to prevent future troubles forever.

That's right.

After a winter, those small bandits, because of the lack of materials, cold and fighting, many people have panicked, many have been unable to hold on, where the soldiers and horses began to act in the spring, exterminated no less than 100 bandits, but there are still some more powerful, survived the winter, defeated the Qing soldiers and horses to exterminate them, and even collected these soldiers and horses.

Because of the large number of soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty under the city of Omuir Minsk, the Qing State mainly supplied them with food and materials in winter to replenish the supply of troops, so it has not been defeated by the rebels until now, and has successfully besieged the rebels.

This army is in addition to the capture of the rebel army of the Qing army to the second powerful army of internal rebellion, the strength of only 100,000 people, a winter development, after rescuing and pacifying the Han people and relieving some disobedient Goguryeo local garrison soldiers and horses, has developed to 300,000 soldiers and horses, with 200,000 Goguryeo servant troops, 100,000 Han young and strong, 50,000 Han regular army, 35,000 Manchu soldiers and horses.

After the beginning of spring, an escort team arrived first, and a group of 500,000 Western prisoners who could not fight were used as slaves here.

Trenches were dug, supplies were transported, roads were widened, barracks were built, trees were cut down, water was boiled for cooking, and even cannon fodder was used as cannon fodder in a limited number of large-scale assaults to drain the rebels in the city.

In the end, the rebels who went out of the city to fight back were almost consumed, completely surrounded the city, and occupied the land outside the city.

And selected some veterans and young men who could fight, and followed the Goguryeo soldiers and horses to the surrounding settlements to show off their might, so that the Han people who had contact with the rebels finally compromised and returned to the rule of the Qing Dynasty in a proper manner, and for those Goguryeo people, they made an example of a hundred and killed the Goguryeo people in several settlements, and sent their heads to the settlements within a radius of 100 miles, that is, to warn the Han people, and warn the Goguryeo people, and even some Manchu settlements that had to submit.

This is the case of this group, and the regular counterinsurgency soldiers and horses have no worries about them, and all the way through, all the settlements that have rebelled will be slaughtered, burned and looted, because the executors are Western prisoners, and they will not be merciful, just like the soldiers of the Treasure Island Brigade and the Korean Brigade that were reused by the Japanese in later generations are in China, they are more ferocious than the Japanese.

By the time they arrived in June, they had already eliminated more than 100 small rebel armies, marched thousands of miles, annihilated a large rebel force of 30,000 men, wiped out 1.5 million Goguryeo people, 800,000 Han Chinese, 30,000 Manchurians, and 200,000 rebel troops.

After a winter, the twenty units of the Qing rebels sent by the Great Qing State were annihilated by the rebels six branches, and then one was wiped out by the cold, after the beginning of spring, these counterinsurgency troops attacked from all sides and eliminated no less than dozens of rebels, but the damage was also very serious, and three of the 10,000 soldiers and horses were finally left with only 1,000 people, which were directly dispersed and distributed to the surrounding settlements as garrisons.

Along the way, the largest counterinsurgency army encountered was 30,000 soldiers and horses, and they were directly sent to the city of Omuir Minsk for reinforcements, and the rest was handed over to this large army.

Eventually, they encountered one of their most important adversaries, a 30,000-strong force with a settlement of 100,000 civilians, controlling a rebel force within a 100-mile radius.
