Chapter 912 Russia is coming
Tao Li was one of the best hunters in the tribe, he put down his backpack, grabbed his bow and arrows, and spurred on the tribe.
Getting closer to the tribe, Tao Li could already smell a breath of blood from the burnt smell. In the past few years, the tribe has been dragged away by the Jurchens to fight, and now there are not many men in the tribe who have combat effectiveness, and there are only seven or eight warriors including Tao Li. If you really come across the Mongols and the Oroqen to seek revenge, then it will be over.
Tao Li's mother and sister are in the tribe, Tao Li cares about chaos, and spends his pace to go to the tribe.
Tao Li's tribe was built in a mountain col, opposite the stockade is a small river, Tao Li turned a mountain beam, and saw several shacks in the tribe emitting green smoke. Tao Li's tribe was not large, with a total population of only fifty or sixty, and most of the rest were women and children because the adult warriors were all captured.
Tao Li's eyes turned red when he saw his home being burned, it must have been done by those Mongolians or Oroqen people.
The Northeast is located in the far north, the living environment is very harsh, and at the same time, the productivity of these native ethnic groups in the Northeast is backward, and they cannot afford to support so many people. Therefore, at the beginning of spring every year, those large tribes with large populations have annexed the surrounding small tribes for food, among which the Mongols and Oroqen people are the blackest.
Mongolia has a large population and the strongest strength, and the Oroqen people and the Jurchens come from the same origin, so there are some unclear relationships. A few years ago, with the rise of the Jurchens, these Jurchen barbarians used the dirty methods written from the Han people on the backward peoples than them. The Jurchens stirred up the relationship between the ethnic minorities in the Northeast, and naturally the Oroqen people, who had the same root and origin, became the target of wooing.
In the forest area of the Great Khing'an Mountains, the largest tribe of the Oroqen people is to make the deer, Tao Li's tribe originally lived in the south of Heilongjiang, but it was unbearable to make the harassment of the deer department to migrate here, but I didn't expect to be found by this group of Oroqen people today.
Tao Li was full of anger, picked up his bow and arrows and rushed in, ready to fight to the death with the Oroqen people. But when Tao Li entered, he found that the tribe was empty, only a few shacks were emitting green smoke.
Of course, it is not that there is no one, but there is not a living person, and in the open space in the middle of the tribe, there are many people lying on the ground, all of them dead.
Tao Li saw that these people were relatives in his tribe, and hurriedly rummaged forward, for fear that his mother and sister were among them.
Tao Li turned over a few corpses, and saw that his Eniang was among them, Eniang's clothes were untidy, half of her body was split by a knife, and she had been dead for a long time with coldness. Tao Li saw the corpse of his mother, hugged it and cried bitterly.
Tao Li didn't know how long he had been crying, and a person on the side said softly: "Brother, Eniang is dead!" ”
Tao Li has forgotten to pay attention to vigilance because of his relaxed spirit, and now he suddenly heard someone talking next to him, and turned over and picked up the bone knife next to him, and then Tao Li saw a little girl standing in front of him, it was his sister Hana.
Tao Li was very happy to see that his sister was fine, Tao Li stepped forward and hugged his sister and asked, "Big sister, what the hell is going on?" Did the Mongols or the Oroqen do it? ”
Hana was two years younger than Tao Li, she was already a big girl, she shook her head and said: "Brother, it's not, I haven't seen this group of people here, they are all tall, their skin is white, they all ride tall horses, and they speak languages I don't understand, but they are definitely not Mongolians and Oroqen!" ”
Isn't it an old rival, is it a Jurchen? That's not right, the Jurchens are almost the same as themselves, they are also yellow-skinned, how can they have white skin?
Tao Li saw that Hana was covered in feces, and quickly asked, "Sister, how did you survive?" ”
Only then did Hana realize that she was covered in excrement, so she quickly found water to wash it up, and at the same time told her brother what had happened.
It turned out that this morning, a group of white-skinned and blue-eyed foreigners came, they just wanted to buy furs at first, but then they didn't know what was going on and quarreled with the patriarch Hua Lin, and then those foreigners took out a weapon that could make a loud sound and fire, and the people in the tribe were knocked down by that weapon.
At that time, Hana's mother saw that something was going on, so she quickly asked Hana to hide, and then went out with a bow and arrows to fight those people. The Evenks are a fishing and hunting tribe, and the women of the tribe are also good warriors, but the weapons of those white-skinned devils are too powerful, and Hana saw her mother defeated with her own eyes.
Hana was very frightened to see the adults in the clan fall under that kind of weapon, so in order not to let the white-skinned devils find out, Hana had to burrow into the dung pit behind the house, and only then did she escape.
After Hana finished speaking, her body was also cleaned, and Tao Li asked, "How many of them are there?" Where's your sister Yinji Khan? "The whole tribe is here, except for Yinji Khan, and Tao Li sees that his sweetheart is not naturally worried about whether she is still alive.
Hana nodded and said: "Sister Yinji Khan was captured by them, there are only more than a dozen people in this group of white ghosts, but they are all riding horses, brother, you must not send them to death!" When Hana heard Tao Li ask about Yinji Khan, she knew that her brother was going to save people, and it would be good if the enemies were Mongols and Oroqens, but the weapons in the hands of the white ghosts were too powerful, and Hana didn't want her brother to die.
But Tao Li is in love with adultery, where can he watch his sweetheart being taken away? Tao Li packed his bags, put away the iron knife of the patriarch Hua Linpu, which is also the only iron weapon in the tribe, and then said to Hana: "Sister, you bury Eniang at home, and my brother will go to save Yinji Khan, if my brother does not come back in five days, you will go south along the river and go south to find your father!" ”
When his father was arrested, Tao Li only knew that he went to the south to fight, but he didn't know where he went, and now he can't let his sister go south.
When Hana heard that her brother was going to die, she cried: "Brother, Hana is waiting for you to come back, if you don't come back, Hana won't live!" ”
Tao Li touched his sister's head with his hand, but did not speak, took the bow and arrow on his back and took the iron knife, and followed the gang of robbers without looking back.
The Evenks are the best hunters, and the entire Great Khing'an Mountains is their back garden, and Tao Li, one of the best hunters in the tribe, wants to track down such a group of people.
Maybe the white ghosts didn't want to hide it, and a group of fifteen people rode horses and drove a few carriages to swagger through the dense forest of the Great Xing'an Mountains. These white ghosts are not outsiders, they are Russians from thousands of miles away.
The Romanov dynasty is now in charge of Russia, and it is also the most powerful and prosperous empire in Russia, stronger than the Soviet Union in later generations. The Romanov dynasty was founded in 1615 and the first emperor was Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov. At this time, several major powers of the European continent were in a fight, and the boss Spain was pushed to the ground by England in 1588, and the invincible armada, which shook the whole world, was also wiped out in Trafalgar.
The boss is gone, and the little brothers are starting to move, led by the European courier Netherlands. The Netherlands was originally a Spanish territory, but the gang took advantage of Spain's defeat by England to officially become independent in 1588 and form the United Provincial Republic of the Netherlands.
After several attacks on Spain, the decline of the Habsburg Empire, the internal princes and disputes, the development of the Reformation and the development of Catholicism and Protestantism, coupled with the rise of neighboring countries, finally broke out from 1618 to 1648 in a large-scale international war involving major European countries, that is, the Thirty Years' War.
The Thirty Years' War was actually a more important war than the First World War in later generations, because most of the international order in later generations was born from this war, such as nationalism, the concept of the state, the dispatch of ambassadors, and the birth of several major European powers, such as Britain, France, Russia, etc., and the First World War was just a group of relatives in Europe who used their knives.
And the Romanov dynasty was born in this chaotic era, when the heads of the great European powers were beaten into dogs' heads, as the descendants of slaves, one of the Slavs, the Eastern Slavs began to grow. However, after the founding of the Romanovs, they did not dare to argue with the European powers, after all, Russia was surrounded by powerful countries at that time, Sweden, Denmark, and even Poland, a European-stirring stick, were stronger than Russia.
The west could not be defeated, and there was no way for Russia to turn its attention to the east, that is, the vast Siberia. Of course, now Siberia is not without people, and now Siberia is the territory of the Mongols. However, these pagans cannot be called human beings in the eyes of Russians at all.
With the support of the state, some hooligans, murderers, thieves, etc. in Russia began to organize expeditions to open up Siberia.
Among them, Yerofei Pavlovich Khabarov is the most representative, Khabarov was originally a nouveau riche businessman, and later went bankrupt due to serving a prison sentence, and asked the governor of Yakutsk, Franzbekov, to raise his own team to go to Heilongjiang.
In 1649, Khabarov formed an armed force of more than 200 people to invade the Heilongjiang River valley in China from the Lena River and the Oreokma River, and in 1650 forcibly occupied Yaksa on the north bank of the upper reaches, and wantonly plundered the local Daur, Evenki, Oroqen and other ethnic groups along the riverbank.
In history, the Heilongjiang River basin was the territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this time was the strong period of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing border guards and the Russian expedition team fought a few battles, but later because the Manchu Qing wanted to enter the pass to occupy the Ming Dynasty, so the counterattack against the Russians was relaxed.
In this time and space, the Manchus had been completely defeated by Zhu Hongsan, and at the same time, in order to deal with Zhu Hongsan, the Manchus transferred a large number of garrisons from the extreme north to the south, and all of them were consumed in several major battles in Nanchang, Yangzhou, and Jinan. In this way, the Russians in the north have lost control, and have now invaded the south bank of the Heilongjiang River, and have penetrated deep into the forest area of the Great Khing'an Mountains.
Today, these Russians are from Yaksa, a stronghold in the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, and these people came out to buy furs, and Siberian furs can be sold for a lot of money in European high society, so the fur trade is one of the main incomes of these Russians.
