The collapse of Niexei's Chinese army led directly to a total rout. The end of this war was so fast that Man Gui and other generals couldn't believe it.

After this battle, the remnants of the three divisions have completely lost their resistance. Nearly 178,000 horses and horses in the three divisions, more than 100,000 people were captured by the Ming army, especially the remnants of the two tribes of the Sauron and Horqin tribes, and the entire tribe surrendered to the Ming army, and only the whereabouts of tens of thousands of horses of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are unknown.

An army of 5,000 led by Yu Shiwei also surrounded Shiversk. The defender of Shiversk was Stepanov, and in Shiversk there were less than five hundred defenders.

After Yusway's army surrounded Shiversk on three sides, it began to bombard it with artillery on the same day. Shiversk is just a wooden city, the city is very small, under the Ming artillery attack, the Russians suffered heavy casualties, after nearly half a day of artillery bombardment, the Russians were killed and wounded nearly 30%.

Stepanov begged to surrender and sent an envoy to evacuate Shiversk on the condition of remaining armed, but Yusvier refused. Zhu Youxiao had a long will and refused to accept the surrender of the Russians.

On the second day, the Ming army continued to use artillery bombardment, Shiversk was bombarded into ruins by the Ming army, and Stepanov was hit by Ming artillery and died in the city of Shiversk on the same day. The remaining Russians had to surrender Kaesong unconditionally, and Shiversk was occupied by the Ming army.

Under Zhu Youxiao's order, You Shiwei hanged all the more than 200 captives who surrendered in Shiversk.

When the news of the capture of Shiversk by the Ming army reached Yakutsk, the Yakutsk governor Golovin was shocked, he did not expect that the Ming army would take the initiative to attack the Russian stronghold. Golovin realized that the Ming army might attack the Russian stronghold in Siberia in the future, and he immediately decided to report the situation in Siberia to Mikhail III and ask for more troops.

In order to intercept the remnants of the Manchu Qing in Siberia, the Ming army began to build ten wooden cities west of the Lena River as strongholds. In order to solve the problem of food, the Ming army once again implemented the system of military cantonment in Siberia, allowing the local garrison to be self-sufficient.

The Ming army encircled and intercepted the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and also achieved certain results, and the tens of thousands of people led by Niexai were surrounded and intercepted by the Ming army, and only less than 20,000 people escaped across the Lena River and fled into the Russian sphere of influence. The rest either died on the road or were captured by the Ming army.

At the beginning of June, Yu Shiwei led 5,000 troops to attack Yakutsk on the Lena River, and Sun Zushou led 3,000 troops to attack Oryokminsk on the Lena River. At this time, Golovin's official letter requesting additional troops was still on his way to Moscow.

On June 15, Sun Zushou's 3,000 soldiers and horses surrounded Oryokminsk. And the defenders of Oreokminsk were only a few hundred people.

On 19 June, Yusway's 5,000-strong army surrounded the small city of Zhigansk, a mixture of wood and stone.

On June 20, Sun Zushou's artillery began shelling Oryokminsk. In the afternoon, the Ming army organized the first assault, but was repulsed by the Russian troops defending the city. Sun Zushou realized that the resistance of the defenders of Oreokminsk was much more stubborn than he had imagined.

On the second day of the offensive, Sun Zushou did not storm Oryokminsk again, but gave full play to his artillery superiority, and it was not until the third day that the Ming army organized a second strong attack, but this strong attack still did not work.

Sun Zushou knew that the number of Russian troops in Siberia was very small, except for the defenders of Yakutsk, which exceeded 1,000, the rest of the strongholds, the defenders were only a few hundred, and You Shiwei had already begun to attack Zhigansk, so Sun Zushou was not in a hurry.

The battle in Oryokminsk lasted seven days before Sun Zushou was able to break the city, and by the time of the breakthrough, there were only more than 50 Russian troops left in Oryokminsk.

And compared to the battle of Oreokminsk, the battle of Zhigansk was much faster, and on the day that Sun Zushou took Oryokminsk, Yushiwei also captured Zhigansk. The reason why the battle in Zhigansk went so smoothly was mainly because Golovin realized that the Ming army might attack the Russian stronghold in Siberia in a big way, and he transferred most of the supplies and personnel of Zhigansk to Yakutsk.

On the 6th day of the seventh month, You Shiwei's army was deployed to the west of the city, and the warships were deployed in the north of the city, and all the artillery was concentrated in the northwest of the city. And Sun Zushou in Oreokminsk completely blocked the Lena River, firstly, to prevent the Russian army in Kilensk from supporting Yakutsk, and secondly, to prevent the Russian army in Yakutsk from escaping from the Lena River.

On the eighth day of July, You Shiwei officially launched an attack on Yakutsk, and more than 70 artillery pieces opened fire on Yakutsk, shaking the entire Yakutsk land. Nearly a dozen artillery pieces of Yakutsk also returned fire.

"Admiral Xiao, is there a way to blast out the artillery on the opposite side first?" You Shiwei asked.

"Heavy artillery can be used, and now heavy artillery positions are being erected, which should be done soon." Xiao Changchun observed with a telescope for a while and said.

"First concentrate the heavy artillery to bombard the artillery of Yakutsk, otherwise the pressure on our army will be too great." You Shiwei said.

"No."

The first day of fighting ended in an artillery battle between the two sides, and the Ming army, after paying the price of eighteen guns, finally destroyed all the artillery in Yakutsk.

From the next day, the Ming army launched a strong attack with the support of artillery. Now the defenders in Yakutsk are close to 2,000 people, and the Russian army, led by Golovin, has put up stubborn resistance, which makes the battle between the two sides the fiercest battle with the Russian army since the Ming army entered Siberia.

The battle for Yakutsk lasted until ten days, and the Ming army was able to enter Yakutsk. After the storming of Yakutsk, the two sides engaged in fierce street fighting, Golovin was shot and killed, and Tolbuzin was reappointed as the governor of Yakutsk, leading the remaining Russian troops to continue to resist stubbornly.

When Mikhail III of Russia heard the news that the Ming army had sent troops to Siberia, he sent an army of 2,000 men into Siberia and at the same time sent an envoy to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty and ask for a border. But Mikhail III did not know at this moment that the Ming army was storming Yakutsk.

It was not until July 29 that the Ming army completely took control of Yakutsk. In this battle, the Ming army paid the price of more than 1,600 dead and wounded to achieve victory, and the Russian troops stationed in Yakutsk, except for more than 100 people who were captured, most of the rest died in Yakutsk, and only a few escaped from Yakutsk.

After the Ming army entered Yakutsk, they found many corpses of the local indigenous people who had been mutilated, especially the local indigenous women, and the Ming army rescued as many as 100 indigenous women in the city of Yakutsk at one time.
