The tundra of Siberia is only permanent in the northernmost part of the Arctic Circle, and the central and southern parts are either large forests, or the same geomorphological features as the Ukrainian steppes, which are easy for the Russians to adapt to, and can also easily reclaim land here for planting, in Tomsk, the Russians have reclaimed a large amount of land, and before the arrival of Petrin, the governor and the imperial minister were discussing the matter of farming after the thaw, but both of them were not too serious, everyone knew that in terms of Tomsk's manpower, I don't know which way to make a profit, and the more people in the city are traders and Cossacks who used to open up by force, and it is better to count on these people to farm the land than to expect them to grab it.

When Petrin entered, the two nobles stood up together and greeted Petrin.

In terms of identity, Petrin is not yet a nobleman, but this person successfully caught the line with Yusheng, and the result is more gratifying than going to the city of Great China to meet the Chinese emperor, the Ming Dynasty, that is, the wealth of China is already a fact known to the Russians in the Far East, but the distance is too far, and the power of the Russians is too weak, they have to use the methods of negotiation and trade to deal with this country established by the yellow race in the East, instead of burning and looting to gain benefits and the right to speak as they did from the European part of Russia.

Russians have little interest in the "civilized" judgment system, they do not worship religion like the Spaniards, fantasize about conquering such a civilized country as a gift to God, nor are they as pragmatic as the British, the Dutch and the Portuguese, they only think about doing business with the Chinese, relying on trade means to obtain profits, the Russians are only interested in land and interests, and only the strength of the other party can suppress their interest, the so-called civilization or not, the size of trade profits, it does not matter, If you can get land, what else do you need to trade?

But if you don't have the strength and the huge profits from trade, it is still welcome to reach an agreement.

Petrin thanked the two high-ranking officials for their welcome, and the Russian spoke bluntly, saying, "Thank God, the battle for Moscow has already come to an end." ”

Golovin, the former minister, looked a little pale, his power came from the tsar's grant, and if the tsar failed, his position in Tomsk would be immediately lost.

"Zarutsky and Marina, Mrusk were captured by troops loyal to His Majesty the Tsar." Petrin said brightly, "The long battle is finally over. Zarutsky was beheaded, and Marina was thrown into prison! ”

"Okay, great." Golovin cried out in a faux pas.

Vlasok calmed down, and he asked, "What about that son of Dimitri?" ”

Dimitri, also known as Dimitri II, is a pseudo-tsar set up by the Poles, most of the Russian nobles do not recognize, but there are also quite a number of nobles loyal to the tsar, after his death, the ghost lingers, in recent years Russian politics, governance, fighting, and contention are focused on the four-year-old boy born to Dimitri II and Marina, and quite a lot of nobles, especially the national leader of the Cossacks, Zarutsky, supported this little boy and tried to make him the tsar.

Patrin shrugged and said, "He was hanged at the gate of Serpukhov's fortress, and countless people watched the scene. ”

"God......

At this time, the governor and the former ministers were a little pale.

"I know, anyway, it's a four-year-old boy, and may God take his soul," Petrin said. ”

Hanging a four-year-old boy in public is unlikely to be accepted in any case, and Petrin knows that although this will never cause trouble, no one will support this pseudo-Tsar's son, but in any case, it has given many people a bad impression, and some people even cursed, the Romanov Tsar chose to hang the young and the child, then in the future, the Tsar's descendants may suffer terrible retribution, and there will also be Tsar's descendants killed when they are minors, and the Tsar's family will be extinct.

Petrin didn't believe in the curse, but it still made him feel very bad, and he turned the subject away, saying: "Zarutsky's cronies are being arrested everywhere, and I came to see them as soon as possible, and the news should not have reached Bashrov's ears yet." ”

Vlasov rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Great, Bashirov has caused us too much trouble in the past few months. The Ming mission alone is a headache for us, he is on the same line as Zarutsky, he has almost made us work in vain, if it were not for the war within the Ming Kingdom, we would have lost the mission and this trade route long ago. ”

"You're right." Petrin said with hatred, "Send someone to hang this damn creature now." ”

"It's very risky." The governor said with a pale face: "Bashirov has a high prestige in the city, he has more than 300 Cossacks under his command, and our troops are only more than 1,000 people, and in the event of a civil war, we may suffer heavy losses." ”

At that moment, a waiter walked in, bowed to the three of them, and whispered a few words in Vlasov's ear.

"Oh, those Ming people are amazing." Vlasov waved his hand to tell the attendants to stand back, turned to Petrin and Golovin and said, "Now we can't guard against them anymore, Your Excellency Petrin has just returned, and they have heard the rumors and come to ask for an audience." ”

Petrin said with a smile, "These Ming people are some of the most savvy businessmen I've ever met, and I'm honestly proud to work with them. ”

"That's true, they're shrewd and generous, they're good at learning, and now almost everyone can speak the Russian language, which makes it hard for us to restrict them," Golovin said. ”

Vlasov pondered: "With these excellent subordinates, that respected Lord Zhang must be a great figure. ”

"That's true." Despite the fact that the topic has been said many times, Petrin said with a solemn face: "He is indeed a great big man. ”

"But how exactly are we supposed to reply to these esteemed fellows?" Vlasov said in distress.

Petrin said: "First, we tell them about Zackerov, please don't worry, we will slowly weaken his power, finally announce the victory of the Tsar, take him down in one fell swoop, and finally hang him in the square in the city, and apologize to our Ming partners." Second, we have to tell them that we still have to apologize for the matter of Dezhnev, and although His Majesty the Tsar has allowed Dezhnev and the corresponding talents to go to the Ming Kingdom, we must first agree with Dezhnev himself. In Russia, even the tsar is not omnipotent, I hope our partners will understand. ”

At this time, another attendant walked in and reported to Vlasov in the same manner.

"The second thing doesn't need to be said for now." Vevsov smiled bitterly and said: "The Ming people have gone to the shipyard again, let's wait until they persuade Dezhnev." ”

Petrin said angrily and amusedly: "Although we forbade them to contact Dezhnev, the Ming people still found a way, and I don't know how to say it." These guys are too shrewd and even ignore the rules, which is not good, well, is this a trait of the Ming people, we must write it down. ”

When Mo Zongtong approached the conference hall, Petrin walked in the front, his arms outstretched, his beard shaking, and his face flashed with great joy: "Dear Mo, let's hug, from today we are true allies." ”

"Huh?" As the Russians expected, Mo Zongtong's expression was only cold and suspicious.

……

To the north of Tomsk, a large river flows through it, the famous Yeseny.

The direction of the river is completely different from the west and east that the Chinese are accustomed to, this is a large river from the south to the north, if the length is more than 5,200 kilometers in terms of the place of origin, it is equivalent to crossing the entire border of the current Daming, whether from the west and east or from the north and south, from the point of view of the flow speed, the speed of the Yesseni River is far above the Ob River and the Lena River, the Russians follow the river north, crossing the vast plains, to the east is higher and higher, full of deep mountains and dense forests, after years of testing, The Russians found it too difficult to continue eastward along the land, and they planned to go north along the Yeseny River into the sea, and then take a boat to the east during the thaw in search of the mouth of a large river that could penetrate deep into the land.

The work has been going on for almost a year, and under very difficult conditions, the Russians have built a shipyard here that is beginning to take shape, and when He Bin and Zheng Zhilong and others arrived, Dezhnev and others were building the keel.

"This is our last effort." Zheng Zhilong already understood Dezhnev's temper. This is a typical Russian, tall, strong, cold and conceited, somewhat rough temperament, rough manners, and Zheng Zhilong saw the Dutch in Hirado is a completely different type, even if the Russians are also white, but in terms of mental outlook and overall temperament, they are completely different from the Dutch, English, and Portuguese, and do not seem to be of the same origin and race at all.

In the eyes of the Han people, the so-called countries of the Taixi countries are actually the same thing, the Chinese were born with a unified dynasty plot, and they are somewhat dismissive of the division of Europe, in the eyes of the Chinese, these Taixi people are almost the same, but the Russians obviously have a completely different temperament from ordinary Europeans, more barbaric, cold, hard, rude, but also more persevering, full of perseverance and determination, not under the Western European adventurers who sailed thousands of miles.

Zheng Zhilong stopped others and slowly walked to Dezhnev's side. The partners all stopped, they knew that Zheng Zhilong wanted to try it alone, and they had come together many times, but the effect was not very good, Zheng Zhilong was faintly the backbone of everyone, let him try it alone, and it was also the trust of the partners in him.

Looking at the keel in front of him, Zheng Zhilong frowned and said, "Isn't this like a Galen ship?" ”

"What are you building the Galen for?" Dezhnev's eyes were pure sky blue, looking as transparent and azure as a puddle of seawater, but there was not much friendliness in these eyes, on the contrary, he was very impatient...... "Our goal is to go up the river, to reach the mouth of the sea when the sea thaws, and to build the most primitive port for future returns," Dezhnev said...... Isn't it to go to war, to build Galen ships and large blocks of ice and seals to go to war? ”
