Just when Tong Guoxi and his brother Yaerbixi were casually teasing the Rakshasa bandits defending the city of Angarsk, a war horse galloped far away from the hillside.

"Quick! There is military intelligence! Yaer Bixi, who was the first to react, shouted in a low voice, threw down Tong Guoxi, turned around and ran down the small mountain bag. He could clearly see that above this war horse was the herald of Lazhangjing, the fourth armor of Manchuria with the blue flag, which he was in.

"Where's Niu Lu?" Before the horses could stop, the herald shouted with a loud voice.

"Lao Tzu is here!" Yaerbixi, who was just in front of her, grabbed the bridle of the horse, and gently patted the horse's head with her other hand very skillfully to comfort the panting war horse.

"Tong Jia Zhangjing! Lord Jialazhangjing ordered you to quickly transfer the people of Benniulu and rush to the Ulan-Ude camp! "The herald was actually very familiar with Yaerbixi for a long time, but there was no nonsense at this time.

"Huh! The next official has an order! When Yaerbixi heard this, she stopped talking nonsense, and immediately turned around and shouted:

"The first cow is recorded, get on the horse and set off!"

Tong Guoxi, who ran down with Ya'er Bixi, just arrived, and hurriedly asked the herald:

"Brother, do you have any arrangements for my Han army?"

"My lord! Lord Jialazhangjing of my department also acted on the order of the general, whether your people and horses are mobilized, the small ones are not clear! Offend! With that, the herald turned his horse's head and galloped away again.

"Ah Hun, I'll go first, I can only leave it to you here!" Yaerbixi almost jumped on the horse pulled by his own soldiers, and shouted back.

"Don't worry! Leave it to me! Tong Guoxi was full of confidence: he had a hundred Han troops under his command. It's enough to clean up this lonely city.

The 120 soldiers of the 4th Staff of the Blue Banner and the 1st Assistant, under the leadership of Niu Lu Zhangjing of the headquarters, rushed away.

"My lord, there's a battle going on over there in Ulan-Ude?" Sun Jin also ran over at some point.

"Well, I guess it is...... Alas, your redcoat cannon is set up? Tong Guoxi reacted halfway through his words, and asked with some reproach.

"Don't worry! With an order, Bao Zhun'er let you beat your horse and run to the north of the city! Sun Jin stuck out his tongue and ran up the hill bag with another smoke.

Tong Guoxi shook his head and continued to face south. Paying attention to the cloud of dust and smoke raised by his own brother...... After half a ring. He said to himself:

"You can get to Ulan-Ude in one day...... I don't know if Lu Dao is a real battle this time? ”

Jidu finally faced his first chance to fight in a real battle after arriving at Suwu Lake.

Just after breakfast, a team of Niu Lu, who was in charge of the reconnaissance in the southwest of Ulan-Ude, sent military information - a Rakshasa army of about five or six hundred people had already arrived in the southwest of Ulan-Ude, and according to this, it was encamped for about 200 li.

"Good! Finally a piece of meat! Revisit! Jidu calmed down and sent the scout away. Afterwards. Only then did he say with some excitement:

"Damu. Please three solid mountain Ezhen! ”

"Huh!" Apparently. Damu could harder hide his excitement than his master, and he almost went out of his mind. Take a trip, if you don't get a military feat. How boring!

After some deliberation, Jidu and the three deputies decided that Jidu still left 1,000 men and horses to sit in the Chinese army. Lan Baiti transferred the remaining three blue-flag cavalry along Hubin, took the north road and went around to the back of the Rakshasas, cutting off the retreat of the people who came first. Ji Xiha and Shi Tingzhu respectively gathered the men and horses of the nearby headquarters, went out of Ulan-Ude for fifty miles to lurk, and only sent 100 Mongolian cavalry, changed their military uniforms and changed into Buryats, and went to test and test first.

As for the defense of Ulan-Ude, the Manchurians who were besieging the Rakshasa Castle in three places had to be transferred back for emergency first, leaving only the Han army to continue to defend it. Fortunately, the Han army is also handy in doing this work, and it is estimated that nothing will go wrong.

To tell the truth, the four of them all knew that the five or six hundred Rakshasas who came to the door would definitely not be soldiers stationed in the Lake District, but reinforcements who came from afar. But where the reinforcements will come from and what their combat strength will be, this is unknown to them.

Daris. Koreza sat in her tent, annoyed as she wiped her saber.

"Abominable invaders! The original God will no longer look down on your prayers! As he spoke, Coreza threw the deerskin to the ground and pointed his saber fiercely to the north, where the chief of the procession, Peter. Stroganov's bedchamber.

"You must know that you are a nobleman, and I am also a nobleman of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania! Despite the fact that the damned Rus invaders made my homeland cease to exist, even in Moscow I became a nobleman! Why are you so rude to me? Coreza was furious, but had to retract her blade and pick up the deerskin from the ground again.

He, as the deputy of this grain transport team, set out from Yeniseisk a month ago. Of the 500 marksmen and Cossacks who accompanied him, 100 were Lithuanians, which was only a little less than the number of 200 Cossacks. But if you divide it by the standards of the Moscow aristocracy, there are even more so-called "Lithuanians" than Cossacks! So he was "honored" to be one of the two deputies as a Lithuanian nobleman. Needless to say, the other deputy must have been the even more odious Cossack - Yermak the Younger. Tsimofeyevich. Olenin. Thinking of this Cossack, Koreza was even more angry.

"Yermak IV! Hmph, the name is quite loud! But you are far worse than your grandfather, but your arrogance must be as good as it gets! This is not Tobolsk, and even more so not Western Siberia, but Lake Baikal. Can you still be as easy as your grandfather and can set foot here on your own? ”

As a nobleman of the former "Grand Duchy of Lithuania", Koreza had to accept the history of his homeland being gradually occupied by Tsarist Russia for more than 200 years, and no longer regarded the "Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth" established in 1569 as his homeland. Fortunately, as a Lithuanian who had lost his country, his Koreza family was re-canonized as a Moscow nobility during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, but the reason was that they Lithuanians were needed to fight against their own people in Poland, Sweden and other countries as Russians.

For the same reason, he came to Yeniseisk from his native Novgorod ten years ago, when the castle had only been built for thirty years [Yeniseisk was opened in 1616 and became the first Russian city on the Yenisei River]. The fort was a hub connecting Western Siberia and Eastern Siberia, and soon became the administrative, military, and economic center of central Siberia, as well as the base camp of the Russian army's advance into the Lena River, Lake Baikal, and the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River. Therefore, Koreza has always believed that from this point of view, his contribution to the central colonization of the eastern Siberian hinterland by Moscow is tantamount to the old Yermak, who conquered the Siberian Khanate and is now "Tobolsk". Tsimofeyevich. Olenin[1]!

And this time, the supreme commander who led the grain transportation team was none other than that Peter. Stroganov! As the core family of Moscow that crossed the Ural Mountains and marched into Western Siberia, Peter naturally had an innate affiliation with the Cossacks Yermak!

"Are you two really trying to rewrite the history of Eastern Siberia as Western Siberia? Hum! I don't believe God will care for your two families again like this! Coreza muttered to herself again, picking up the map of the march.

All the grievances he suffers today stem from this map.

"A limerick poem. Hidden Head

Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath

I was saying that there was an opportunity back then

The layout is a long-cherished wish

It's hard to come and go

Get up and spend a hundred years

Point out the suffering and diseases of the world

The edge of the town was razed to the sea

Wen'an Wuding tears of joy

[1] Yermak. Tsimofeyevich. Olenin (?-1584) was the leader of the Russian Cossacks on an expedition to Siberia. The Cossack chieftain, who had been operating in the steppes of South Russia with the Don, was defeated in 1579 by Tsar Ivan the Terrible for robbing merchants and foreign envoys passing by the Volga. Among them, 540 people who traveled along the river north were led by him and took refuge in the Stroganov family, which had been granted permission by the tsar to settle the Kama River valley. The family had already received permission from the tsar to recruit troops to attack the Siberian Khanate, so they incorporated the 300 men they recruited into their ministry, issued weapons and equipment, and equipped them with interpreters and guides, and ordered them to lead the expedition. The expeditionary force traced the river eastward, crossed the Ural Mountains and then went down the river to the east, defeated the Tatars with advanced firearms, and captured the capital of the Siberian Khanate in 1581. The Tsar was rewarded with immediate forgiveness for his previous sins, armor and other things, and continued to fight the Tatars who insisted on resisting, and in August 1584 he was attacked by a night in a camping camp and fell into the water and died. The Cossack colonial conquests that began with him had a significant impact on the political situation in modern Siberia. (To be continued......)
