When the order spread throughout the camp, and when it was heard that the perpetrators were not from the Khaliya tribe, but the ghost-like Xiyi, all the Korqin tribes were furious, and they all held their breath, and they prepared to kill him tomorrow, and kill all these evil spirits who were not people, so that they would no longer cause trouble to the world!

At night, thinking of the tragic situation of the lakeside camp she saw during the day, Hai Lanzhu couldn't sleep, and habitually, she entered the chat group to find Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I encountered an incident today, no, in fact, I found something yesterday, which made the concubine very angry......"

Although she has not officially married, in her heart, she has already unconsciously regarded Emperor Chongzhen as her husband, and when she encounters such an injustice, she naturally tells about it.

In the end, she said hatefully: "At dawn tomorrow, the concubine body will prepare to surround and annihilate these evil ghosts, avenge those who died tragically, and comfort their spirits in the sky!" ”

After finishing speaking, she didn't see Emperor Chongzhen reply, knowing that Emperor Ming had a lot of opportunities, so naturally it was impossible to reply immediately, and she didn't care. After saying that, I don't know why, but I felt better, and slowly, I felt a little sleepy.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, suddenly the system "ding", prompting her to have a private chat.

Hai Lanzhu was overjoyed, and when she entered the chat group, she saw that it was Emperor Chongzhen's reply, but the content of this reply surprised her a little: "You said it was Xiyi?" Could it be the Cossack cavalry? Their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, so be careful! ”

What Cossack cavalry? Hai Lanzhu was puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, do you know these Xiyi?" “

Emperor Chongzhen, as a person who traveled through later generations, naturally knew that in the era of Tsarist Russia, the Cossack cavalry was the vanguard of the expansion of Tsarist Russia, and in the expansion to the east and to Siberia, there were Cossack cavalry, and of course, there were criminals in Tsarist Russia, all of whom were exiled by the Tsar to open up territory for him.

For the prestige of the Cossack cavalry, the Ming people of this era may not know, but Emperor Chongzhen does. Napoleon once said: If I had Cossack cavalry in my troops, I would have swept the world with them.

True, the Cossack cavalry were excellent light cavalry, but they were undisciplined and did not want to dismount to fight, which limited their play on the battlefield. They were so ruthless to the common people that they hated them all over Europe, both friend or foe. Of course, in the eastward expansion, those victims had basically no written records, no statehood, and no posterity, so there was no way to accuse them of their crimes, and naturally there were few records of the brutality of the Cossack cavalry in East Asia.

There is a 90% chance that Hai Lanzhu and his party hit the Cossack cavalry, and even if they were not, they were other lackeys of Tsarist Russia. What Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect was that although he knew that in this era, Tsarist Russia was expanding eastward, so that during the reign of Kangxi of the Manchu Dynasty, there was the famous "Treaty of Nebuchu". Unexpectedly, the pace of Tsarist Russia's eastward expansion was much faster than he imagined.

In fact, in 1632, the coldest city of the later era, the great city of Yakutsk in the East of Siberia, began to be built, and in the years that followed, it was used as a springboard to expand to the shores of the Pacific Ocean.

After Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a while, he chatted with Hai Lanzhu privately: "In tomorrow's battle, you can't be careless because of the disparity in numbers. You are a tired army, and those Xiyi are all extremely vicious, if it were not for this, it would not be possible to come so far from the scourge of the East across thousands of mountains and rivers. Therefore, it is better to be cautious! ”

Seeing this, although Hai Lanzhu was a little disapproving, she felt Emperor Chongzhen's concern, and sweetly replied in her heart: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the concubine knows!" ”

After finishing speaking, Hai Lanzhu went down to the chat group to discuss the arrangement of tomorrow's war, and Emperor Chongzhen also withdrew from the chat group, thinking about the Tsarist Russia's invasion of Siberia.

Send troops to Siberia, that's for sure. But if the troops are sent normally, I am afraid it will attract a lot of pressure. After all, in the impression of the Ming people in this era, not to mention Siberia, it is the Mobei side, which is a place where birds do not, and there is no value in using soldiers. I am afraid that some views of later generations to explain the necessity of sending troops will not resonate. The money and food consumed by sending troops is certainly not a small amount.

But for future generations, if you watch Tsarist Russia invade to the east and occupy the whole of Siberia, this is definitely not something that can be tolerated. So, what should be done in order to send troops in the best way to intervene in the eastward invasion of Tsarist Russia, and it is better to drive Tsarist Russia back and destroy it?

Emperor Chongzhen is not without a layout for this, and on the western Mongolian side, he has already started it on Oqiertu and others. However, it will take time for Western Mongolia to intervene to contain Tsarist Russia first, and from the current point of view, there is no way to stop Tsarist Russia from invading eastward. The best thing to do is for the imperial court to send troops to Siberia.

So what to do? Emperor Chongzhen thought about this question, and fell asleep after thinking about it.

The next morning, the eastern sky, the morning sun rose, the sun sprinkled on the earth, but on this grassland, there was no warmth. Ordinary people, at this point in time, are still asleep.

But Hai Lanzhu has already arrived at the destination with six hundred horsemen. After being reminded by Emperor Chongzhen last night, she deliberately selected the elite who could fight, deployed equipment and weapons, and treated this war in the most prudent way.

Hai Lanzhu couldn't go into battle by herself, so she watched as her men scattered more than a hundred people in all four directions of the target camp, and then began the early morning attack almost simultaneously.

When they were still far away, Xiyi, who was on duty in the target camp, sensed that something was wrong, and seemed to be particularly sensitive to the sound of horses' hooves. When he noticed the presence of cavalry around him, he immediately began to call the police.

Hai Lanzhu looked at the camp in the distance, just like a calm lake, suddenly boiling the water, and many people rushed out of the various tents at once, just a little look, and they got on their horses.

These men, almost without hesitation, even before the assembly was complete, began to drive their horses out of the camp, and began to speed up, heading northwest, interspersed between the two enemies.

Hai Lanzhu frowned, thinking that the emperor really didn't say anything wrong. These Xiyi are really decisive, if they just panic and delay a little time, their subordinates will be able to rush in. But now, they seized the fleeting opportunity to abandon everything and try to escape from the siege before the siege was completed. This kind of adaptability is indeed rare!

However, after seeing Xiyi's movements, the Horqin cavalry in the west and north directions also immediately began to turn and flank Xiyi.

Closer, closer! Hai Lanzhu couldn't take his eyes off it.

Finally, those Xiyi did not break out of the encirclement, but their horse speed had already been raised, and the two sides finally collided together. Compared with infantry warfare, cavalry battles come and end quickly. In the blink of an eye of Hai Lanzhu, the two centaurs in the distance collided and then separated, and there were many mules and horses on both sides, which made Hai Lanzhu feel distressed.

But what surprised her even more was that the remaining Xiyi, after rushing out of the encirclement, didn't care about their companions, didn't stop at all, and continued to gallop forward, leaving the dust.

At this time, the Horqin cavalry in the east and south rushed to the encirclement point and failed to participate in the cavalry battle just now.

There were about forty or fifty people in Xiyi who fled, and the Horqin cavalry army divided two hundred horsemen to continue the pursuit. The rest of the cavalry healed their companions, cleaned up the battlefield, and went to search the camp.

This war, because of Xiyi's decisiveness, Hai Lanzhu's technique of encircling on all sides became a technique of dividing troops, causing Xiyi to flee more than half of them. There was no quarter of an hour, and it was over.

"Don't beg, these Xiyi are really ruthless enough to take care of their companions at all." A personal guard couldn't help but sigh.

Another guard said with a serious face: "Warning, get out of the tent, and flee immediately, I made a choice almost without hesitation." These Xiyi are really worthy of light horses, and if they don't have a chance, they will run away immediately, without the slightest love of war. Not to be underestimated! ”

Hai Lanzhu listened, but did not speak, got on the horse and went to the camp.

By the time she arrived at the camp, her men had already verified the results of the battle and came to her, saying, "Don't beg, we have wounded five men and killed fifteen." Xiyi had three minor wounds, and thirty-one were killed by us! ”

The other person was in charge of verifying the camp, and also told Hai Lanzhu: "These cars are full of fine mink, fox skins and other furs, it is estimated that the furs accumulated by the previous tribe over the years have been robbed by them. In addition, there is a lot of sand gold, which is worth a lot! “

Hai Lanzhu listened, frowned and didn't speak. She usually liked the good furs, but after only a few glances, she lost interest, and walked quickly to the wounded soldier's place to check the wounded soldier's injuries.

In a way, cavalry combat is more brutal than infantry combat, and there are generally only two situations, either defeat the opponent or die! The high-speed rush of the cavalry, but the possibility of injury is very small.

Of the five people who were injured, one of them was seriously injured, one hand was missing, and one leg was broken when he fell off the horse. Under such conditions of lack of healing, it is almost impossible to return to the Ming Dynasty alive. The other two were lucky, only slightly injured, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

But even so, Hai Lanzhu was very sad, and then looked at the corpses of the clansmen who died in battle, she was angry again, and immediately ordered: "Kill all those Xiyi, blood sacrifice clansmen!" ”

Hearing her words, the three were tied up and knelt in Xiyi, not far away, two of them did not react, but the other person panicked and begged for mercy loudly in half-baked Mongolian language: "I surrender, I surrender, I am willing to serve you!" ”

When they heard this Xiyi knowing Mongolian language, this surprised the Horqin people. But they were only taken aback, and then, still with anger on their faces, they continued to hold their knives forward with hatred, dragging the three injured Xiyi to the front of the dead clansmen.

At this time, even the other two Xiyi, who couldn't understand Mongolian, knew what was waiting for them, and they struggled one after another, but it was too late, and they saw the Horqin people raise their swords and fall, and the heads of these two Xiyi fell to the ground, and blood spurted out, and the blood sacrificed to the people who died in battle.

The Mongolian Xiyi struggled even more because he knew it from the beginning, and at the same time begged for mercy: "Spare me, I am willing to serve you, I can tell you all the situation, don't you want to know the ones who escaped, please ......"

The Horqin tribe didn't care what he said, but when they saw that he was struggling hard, they went up to two more people, pressed him and didn't let him move, and the man with the knife raised his waist knife and wanted to cut it down.

At this moment, Hai Lanzhu had already approached, stretched out his hand to stop him, and asked with a cold face: "Are you a Cossack cavalry?" Was it sent by Tsarist Russia? ”

As soon as these words came out, the man immediately fell silent, thinking about providing news to save his life, but he didn't expect this beautiful Mongolian woman to know the situation. He also saw that his life and death were in the hands of this beautiful woman, so he immediately replied: "Yes, yes, yes, but I am not a Cossack cavalryman, those who escaped." I'm just a translator, in charge of conveying their meaning, and communicating with the Mongols to carry out the tsar's will! ”

When Hai Lanzhu heard this, she couldn't help but admire Emperor Chongzhen's profound knowledge, and he even knew the situation in such a north. At the same time, she was also a little curious, so she asked for details.

This Xiyi didn't dare to hide it, so he told it one by one, just asking for his life.

After about half an hour, the Korqin cavalry who had gone to pursue them returned empty-handed. Their horses were not as good as those who fled, and after chasing them for a while, they couldn't catch up, and the question was almost the same.

So, Hai Lanzhu ordered the whole army to open and continue to return to Daming with the spoils of war. At the same time, she entered the chat group and wanted to go to Emperor Chongzhen to tell him what she had learned: "Your Majesty, the good leather goods on the Tsarist side of Russia are the most important materials for its trade with other countries. They continued to invade the east, and the main thing was to plunder the skins, and all martens, foxes, gray squirrels, otters, etc., could be sold for very high prices, and the supply exceeded demand......"

It turned out that the countries on the European side were good for leather goods, and the main export of Tsarist Russia was leather goods, which were very popular. In addition, there was a powerful Ottoman Empire in Europe at that time, not to mention this, the military strength of Tsarist Russia at that time, even Denmark and other countries could not win, and it could not be destroyed, so it had to expand eastward.

This expansion made them realize that the land here is vast, and the people living in this land are only small tribes, which cannot be compared with Tsarist Russia. And because the tribes did not intermarry, lacked writing, did not have a unified leadership, and did not possess sophisticated weapons, Tsarist Russia was able to attack one by one with only a few men, conquer them and obtain the wealth they wanted.
