In the eyes of Russia, the Far East has always had ambitions, and the purpose of this ambition is that ......

To get a good outlet to the sea!

At least it's not frozen, but sadly, most Russian ports, even Vladivostok, are frozen, and of course, this port is still ours.

But this ambition has always been there, and it has not stopped, otherwise it would not have taken advantage of the chaos and the Russian army invaded the northeast.

But there is one point, although Russia is really salivating for the northeast, but these guys have not developed the part they have stolen.

Yes, even north of the Trans-Khingan Mountains, as well as Vladivostok and Sakhalin Island, the Russians did not build here, they have been coming to this land for a long time, they came over during the Qianlong period, and it was officially obtained from the Qing Dynasty by treaty, it has been more than 20 years, but this place is still relatively desolate.

Perhaps, this latitude, the geography of this region, and the climatic conditions have a great impact on the development of the local area, but however, it is true that there is no sense of development here.

Embarrassment. That's how Stewart feels now, because in his old understanding, a place is going to develop, it's actually very fast, it's just changing with each passing day, oh yes, that's in the great Emperor, Crint. It happened only under the wise leadership of Lee I, and the Russians.

These guys are a bunch of barbarians!

As a Jew, Stewart admired the great Emperor at this time, because His Majesty was a man who could bring change and prosperity.

And this Okhotsk ...... at the moment Yes, embarrassed. Stewart was here now, and what he saw. It aroused his feelings.

Why did Stuart come to this place?

What is Okhotsk?

Okhotsk is the first Russian settlement in the Far East, which has a long history of Russia, and this is the north of Sakhalin, not far from the North Pole, with the Bering Strait to the east and Siberia to the west. And to the south, that's Sakhalin.

Sakhalin is now called Sakhalin in Russia, but Stuart is convinced that it won't be long before that place becomes part of the Federation, and with His Majesty the Majesty, this kind of thing is very fast.

Moreover, Stewart has been in this place for half a year!

That's right, it's been a long time, at the beginning. Stewart came here, of course, to do information gathering...... Well, that's actually espionage.

But it's really a collection of information, because this place is not only Okhotsk, but also Vladivostok, that is, Vladivostok, or Sakhalin. The federal side does not know the specific information of these places!

This one...... It's a bit of a shame to say it. Because this place turned out to be China's territory after all, but ...... Well, it's all to blame on the Manchus, as well as the previous dynasties, they didn't do a detailed survey here!

It's not that there is no data, it's that the geological data is too vague. It's better not to have it at all.

Don't talk about it, just talk about geological exploration, and some scientific discoveries or something, the Russians have done much better in this regard than the previous Qing Dynasty, although they didn't build this place very well. But these guys have done a lot of scientific exploration, and the geological conditions and water ripples of this piece are still good.

So, these things are the main goals of Stewart before, you know, these things are not easy to get, and in this future war, without these things, it will be completely impossible to move.

However, a few months ago, the mission changed!

It should be said that Stewart hasn't completely mastered all that 'information' yet, because it's not that easy to get, and the Russians aren't stupid.

But despite this, the decision from above was extremely resolute, so he Stewart gave up his previous job of engaging in information and fully devoted himself to the new job, and this new job has money, a lot of money, and it is directly shipped over a lot of money.

That's a good job, it's rich!

But what kind of job is it?

"Hey! Boss! Do you still accept it? The best otter skin! ”

"Of course! Collect as much as you want! And if you have a lot of goods, I'll add one point to each one! It's the New Tang Yuan, which is the original American Yuan! ”

"Wow! So good? ”

"yes, that's it!"

This is business again......

That's right, the focus of Stewart's work in Okhotsk now is to buy otter skins, of course, he also accepts other skins, anyway, all kinds of furs, you have Lao Tzu wants, he Stewart is now a fur merchant with a huge amount of money!

This...... Why buy these otter skins? How to drop, is this to do a fur business?

Stewart didn't know about this, and he also knew one thing, that is, these furs, as long as they were purchased, would be directly sealed, and their own people would never touch them, at least after some series of disinfection, they could only touch them.

What is the reason, he Stewart really doesn't know, but that's what the above told him, his current mission is this, then he can only carry it out, nothing else!

So what is it for?

Obviously, this is Li Mengyang, the emperor's order, and only he can make Stewart so unspoken, so does Li Mengyang really want to do the fur business? Or rather, to use the fur business to drive economic development? Li Mengyang is kind enough to help Russia develop the Far East?

Of course not, this is actually quite accidental, and it wasn't a good thing in the first place.

If you want to talk about this, Li Mengyang, a traverser, doesn't know, he is not an expert in this area, but when you count the days forward, that is, a year ago, something big happened in Northeast China......

At that time, the situation was like this, that is, it was a year, and some of the reform plans of Li Mengyang, the emperor, that is, the restart of the entire Greater China market, had almost done this, and he had already seen the economic recovery, so some things were more sought-after.

It's the same thing that everyone likes and can use, and it's a special practical thing, which is fur!

At that time, the main production area of fur was in the Northeast, and because of some reasons in the Northeast, such as the relatively small population, the land reform in this place was very easy, because it was all the land, so the economy and even the entire regional market recovered very quickly.

Then, the market was restarted, people came back, everyone started to do business, and soon they became rich, because the agriculture in the northeast itself is also developed enough, and the roe deer scoops and scoops the fish, so you need something else, that is, leather goods.

Leather goods are not only needed in the northeast, but also in the north, because there is no unified heating in winter this year, right, so the leather goods themselves are a social necessity, so the economy is good, the demand has increased, so that there are more people who come to pour leather goods!

This is too much, and something happens.

Dead, a terrible contagion!

Let's put it this way, in just one or two months, tens of thousands of people died in the Northeast, and the speed of onset to death is very fast, this is simply a plague!

But fortunately, after all, the Pacific Rim Empire is one of the best in the world in terms of medicine, and we are humble enough to say that we are not the best, well, modest.

So, Li Mengyang filmed people over, Bai He!

As a top student of the First Medical College of the Empire, Bai He was sent to the epidemic area, and he was very excited.

Finally, I don't have to treat those flowers and willows or anything!

Well, Bai He's mental state is so strange that others don't know it.

To say that Bai He's medical skills are also quite good, and he also has a lot of experience in public health. If you want to talk about this, it has to fall on Li Mengyang's head, because he started to run that public toilet in California, and he encountered an infectious disease at the beginning.

So, when I arrived in the epidemic area, I immediately did isolation, immediately carried out a series of disinfection, and everyone issued masks...... Anyway, what can be done is done first, and then find this disease, what the hell is going on.

This disease, you can see it at a glance by looking at the symptoms, this is the Black Death.

The basic symptoms are almost the same, no different, the Black Death, that is, the plague!

Since it is the plague, then to deal with this disease, the role of the medicine stone is still too small, and it can only be done for public epidemic prevention, that is, all the people in the Northeast have begun to exterminate rats!

Eliminate the four evils!

This is really a vigorous patriotic health campaign......

But but, then, not eggs!

It's useless, a lot of rats have been killed, but the infection is still there, of course, the situation is much better, not as fast as before, but it didn't stop the epidemic!

Moreover, Bai He, a young famous doctor, he also performed some autopsies, he did not find a deadly virus in the body of mice, there were hundreds of dissections, there were everywhere, not at all!

Other words......

Killed by mistake!

Well, these rats will be extinguished when they are extinguished, and it is better if they are extinguished.

So, what is the real reason? This is clearly the plague.

Don't say it, Bai He is very powerful, not for nothing, he started looking for other animals, and finally found an animal.

Marmot!

Mink fur comes from sables, but this animal is actually similar to marmots, marmots are marmots, and marmots are similar in appearance to sables. The most important thing is that there are also in the Northeast, and it is easy to get.

Finally found this culprit, but soon Bai He understood, in fact, this new type of plague has caused so many of us humans to die, you really can't blame these groundhogs, groundhogs are also quite cute...... (To be continued.) )
