Although the expedition to Turukhansk was more farther away, Yu Shiwei was luckier than Chen Si, and when Yu Shiwei's army arrived in Turuhansk, the defenders of Turukhansk were not prepared at all, and Yu Shiwei took Turukhansk with little effort. The Russian army did not expect that the Ming army would attack Bratsk and Turukhansk at the same time, let alone that the Ming army would cross such a long distance to expedition to Turukhansk.

Turukhansk is not far from Mangazea, and Mangazzea is a trading colony of the Russians, Mangazzea is now the distribution center of East-West trade in northwest Asia, a huge amount of precious mink, walrus ivory, animal oil (seal oil, whale oil) and other continuous shipments to Europe, Mangazzea is the largest Russian city in Siberia, in its heyday, there were more than 2,000 merchants here, and more than 100,000 sable skins are sold to Europe from here every year.

However, Mangazzeya has begun to decline due to the policies of the Russian government and the impact of the fires, especially a fire in the 22nd year of the Apocalypse, which has severely damaged Mangazzeya. After Yuswei captured Turukhansk, he did not continue to attack Mangazea, but began to actively turn to the defense to prevent the offensive of the Russian army.

However, it was all the wrong decision. Although the Russians wanted to go east, the Russian army was now unable to launch an eastward crusade of more than 50,000 men.

Zhu Youxiao and the imperial court miscalculated the situation in Russia. Now the Romanov dynasty in Russia is in its weakest period, the government is lax, thieves are rampant, the treasury is empty, and the people are tired. And Tsar Mikhail had just died of illness, and Alexei, who was only sixteen years old, succeeded to the throne and became the second tsar of the Romanov dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao missed an opportunity to expand the results. The Russians did not come, allowing the Ming army to consolidate its rule east of the Yenisei River for the rest of the time. The Ming built nearly twenty fortresses of various sizes east of the Yenisei River.

At the end of September, Zhu Youxiao officially confirmed the establishment of the Central and Western Pol Cheng Envoy Department in a vast area east of the Yenisei River and west of the Lena River.

"I have decided to build my mausoleum in Beihai." Zhu Youxiao said suddenly at the court meeting.

It is a tradition to repair the mausoleum during his lifetime, and it is also the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Youxiao did not plan to repair the mausoleum now, he just wanted to confirm the location of the mausoleum, once his mausoleum was repaired here, as long as the empire was still surnamed Zhu in the future, no one would dare to lose Beihai in the future.

"Your Majesty, why is that?" Sun Yuanhua asked puzzled.

"Without him, I love it." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"But Beihai is a long way from Jingshi......" Sun Yuanhua stopped in the middle of speaking, what he meant was that people would die, and if they were transported to Beihai, their bodies might all rot.

"I won't build a mausoleum for the time being, I will first build a gallop road from Jingshi to Beihai." Zhu Youxiao said.

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he said categorically: "This matter has been decided, and there is no need to discuss it anymore." ”

"Your Majesty, since the victory of our army's Northern Expedition, the Russian army has not shown signs of the Eastern Crusade, and the minister thinks that this matter is a little strange." Yuan Chonghuan said.

"Has the situation changed?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang Liqian and said.

"Russian Tsar Mikhail has just died ......of illness," Wang Liqian briefly reported on the situation of the Russian Tsar.

"Are there any signs of a build-up of Russians in Sipol?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"According to the military report of the Governor's Office, the Russians have increased their troops in Sibol, but the number is very small, at most it is only to strengthen the defense." Yuan Chonghuan replied.

"Your Majesty, Dongchang has very few spies in Russia, and I can't find out more news for the time being." Wang Liqian said.

"What are the plans of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War?" Zhu Youxiao knew that the East Factory could not penetrate into Moscow yet.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of the Weitra Mongols should be resolved first." Sun Chuanting said.

"Why?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"Oirat Mongolia is now divided into four major tribes and several small tribes, namely the Ulgars (Dzungar), Heshute, Durbert, and Turghut, and most of the small tribes are dependent on the four major tribes, among which the Dulbert Department has surrendered to the empire when our army is in the northern expedition to the Khalkha Mongols, and among the remaining three tribes, among the Turghut tribes moved west to the Volga River, the strongest Heshute Department is often invading the territory of the empire, and the Heshute Department has invaded Qinghai and Tibet several times, as for the Zoros Department, After the Empire's defeat of the Khalkha and Dulbert tribes, the Ross tribes grew rapidly and will soon become a major problem for the Empire......," Sun explained.

Zhu Youxiao knew that in history, the Ross Department had rebelled several times, and the Ross Department would become a scourge sooner or later. Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Sun Aiqing, do you mean the western expedition to Oirat Mongolia?" ”

"The minister believes that before the westward expedition to Russia, we must first settle the matter of the Oirat Mongols, and after crossing the Yenisei River, it is very likely that our army will be attacked by the Oirat Mongols and the Russians at the same time." Sun Chuanting said.

"Yuan Aiqing, what do you think?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The minister agreed with Sun Shangshu's words, after our army took control of the Yenisei River, there was a conflict with the Oirat Mongols, and according to the military report of the Jingshi Governor's Office, the Russian army and the Oirat Mongols showed signs of joining forces. As soon as our troops cross the Yenisei River, it is highly likely that our troops will face both the Russian army and the Oirat Mongols. Yuan Chonghuan said.

"Give me a concrete plan." Zhu Youxiao said.

"No."

……

Back in the harem, the concubines were all discussing Zhu Youxiao's decision to repair the mausoleum to Beihai. Although according to the rules of the palace, there are only two or three people who can be buried with Zhu Youxiao at most.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to repair the mausoleum to Beihai?" Although Zhu Youxiao had already made up his mind, Zhang Yan couldn't help but ask.

"I've already decided. If you don't want to be buried in Beihai, I won't force it, but if you do, in a hundred years, anyone can be buried with me in Beihai. Zhu Youxiao said affirmatively.

"No matter what, the concubine will definitely follow His Majesty, life and death!" Zhang Yan said.

"The concubine is also willing to follow His Majesty, life and death!" The concubines said together.

"Your Majesty, why did you choose Beihai?" Concubine Fan Hui asked, and after speaking, she immediately explained, "Concubine is just curious. ”

"Destiny." Zhu Youxiao didn't know how to explain, so he had to say confusedly.

Although Zhu Youxiao's answer is very general, it is very acceptable and leaves people speechless. Hearing Zhu Youxiao's answer, the concubines did not continue to ask.
