Chapter 377: Finding the Cossacks

Feeling the coolness blowing from Siberia, Zhou Huchen stepped on the land of Siberia.

The cavalry torrent followed, and when Zhou Huchen led the army to set foot on this land, it also meant that a new journey began.

Zhou Huchen did not lead the army to advance for long, and a scout came on horseback.

"Report to the boss! Buryats were spotted ahead. ”

"How many?" Zhou Huchen asked:

"There are only more than 100 people."

What can more than 100 people do? This should be the people of the nearby Buryat tribes who came to test themselves, and it is impossible for the huge army not to be discovered by the other party, and the Buryats should have been preparing, and it is estimated that a large number of cavalry will appear soon.

As expected, not long after, two Buryat tribesmen first came to meet Lama Zhelang, these two Buryats were very respectful, kneeling down, and seemed to belong to the believers, and they were more approving of these lamas.

The other party also spoke Mongolian, and the communication was very smooth, and Lama Zhelang deserved to be a monk who had been trained for a long time, his posture was dignified, his speech was gentle, and he was everywhere revealing the steadiness and Zen language of the monk, and he looked unfathomable.

Zhou Huchen waited, leaving the Zhelang Lama there to fool the two Buryats.

The Buryats and the Grand Lama Zhelang tossed for a long time, and finally, when Zhou Huchen was about to get impatient, the scouts brought news that many Buryats appeared.

Many meanings are also a modifier, and these Buryats together are less than a thousand, which is a drizzle compared to Zhou Huchen's 200,000 people. There were very few nomadic tribes, and with the climatic conditions and vast geographical area of Siberia, it was not a small number of people to gather nearly a thousand people together.

Grand Lama Zhelang finally finished communicating with the Buryats, and he brought two Buryats to meet Zhou Huchen.

These Buryats were dressed in the same way as ordinary Mongols, and even did not differ in physiognomy, and it seemed that they were really a side branch of the Mongols.

Etiquette and the same with the Mongols, offering a blue Hada, two men single on the right knee. His right arm naturally drooped down to greet Zhou Huchen.

At the beginning of the exchange, the hospitality of the Buryats was not a lie, and they were not restrained, and in the two Buryats Zhou Huchen learned that many people in this area believed in Buddhism, and they were very surprised by the arrival of Grand Lama Zhelang.

The Buryats are just a general tribal designation, they have a nomadic way of life, these tribes have a large nomadic area, but mainly in the east of the small sea, and some people are nomadic in the west and north. The Buryats do not belong to any country. In addition to the Buryat Mongols, there are also Burgats, Ehirits, Hangodors and the Khorin people from the east coast, who form the Buryat tribe.

The people who live on this land are free shepherds and hunters, who coexist peacefully and have little concept of war. This has been sustained for hundreds of years, because the pastures and forests in the area are so abundant that there is no need to compete for them.

But now, this indisputable life has been broken, and Zhou Huchen is here. Another powerful invader, Tsarist Russia, was also encroaching on this area, and many Buryatia had bypassed the sea to resist the invading Rakshasas, who called themselves Cossacks.

"Cossacks."

Although these Buryats are on guard against themselves, they do not seem to be hiding the real situation in Siberia. It also gave Zhou Huchen a new understanding of Siberia.

And the three words of Cossack made Zhou Huchen also realize a serious problem, these brave Cossacks were the vanguard of Tsarist Russia's occupation of Siberia and invasion of northern China. In Zhou Huchen's memory. The Cossacks, known for their prowess and horsemanship, were the main supporters of the Russian Empire's eastward expansion, and these mad outlaws were numerous. It's hard to deal with.

"Do you know who we are?"

"I know, it's the army of the Ming Dynasty."

"I don't want a war with the Buryat tribes, and Master Zhelang can guarantee that if the Buryat tribes can accept the canonization of the imperial court, I can go and defeat the greedy Cossacks, and the pastures here still belong to you, but you will accept the domination of the imperial court."

Zhou Huchen's words made the two Buryats hesitate a little, because they had the concept of territory, but not the concept of the state, and they did not understand this canonization.

There was no response for a long time, but the Grand Lama Zhelang explained for a long time, and the two Buryat people did not understand what happened to Zhou Huchen's canonization.

Zhou Huchen suddenly reacted, although these Buryats retain Mongolian customs, due to their remoteness, time has made the culture seriously lacking, and the long-term free nomadic life has made them lose the concept of the state, the territory is just a grazing land, as long as there is no killing and exploitation, anyone can be nomadic here.

There is no need to worry about the canonization, the Buryats are very scattered, and they just took advantage of the religious liliang of the Great Lama Zhelang to let him slowly subdue the Buryats in this area. As long as the policy of gentleness is adopted, and with the addition of religious liliang, the Buryats will become the most peaceful herdsmen, and he cannot ask for such an honest man.

Understanding the actual situation here, Zhou Huchen continued to communicate with the two Buryats.

The Buryats are really simple, when Zhou Huchen asked about the situation further north, the two Buryats told Zhou Huchen without warning: further north are all high mountains and dense forests, and with the change of seasons, the extremely cold north will become a glacier and snow field, which will not allow a large number of troops to pass through and survive. The best way to get around the sea is not far away, a few hundred miles to the west is the southernmost point of the sea, and that area is also the best way for the Buryats to go west, as long as you cross a low mountain to reach the west of the sea.

Zhou Huchen is in a good mood, he doesn't need to go north, and he doesn't need to have any conflict with the Buryats, Zhou Huchen only needs to continue to go west now, and the Buryats of this generation can be handed over to the Great Lama Zhelang to continue to fool.

The mountain on the south side of the sea is not too high, and the Buryat guides who have been fooled by Lama Zhelang do not know the name of the mountain, and this mountain has no road at all except a narrow mountain road that has been trodden out by hunters.

The Pearl of Siberia is attractive, it is less than two hundred miles away from Zhou Huchen. It's a pity that the rolling mountains and mountains blocked Zhou Huchen's footsteps, and now he actually doesn't have the leisure to explore Xiaohai, and he can only wait for future opportunities to see the mysterious lake as big as the sea in his heart.

Lama Zhelang was going to stay, but Zhou Huchen temporarily changed his attention, he thought that it was more appropriate for this senior monk to be by his side, because his use value was very high, and he could continue to follow Zhou Huchen to fool the tribes on the west side of Xiaohai.

Lama Zhelang was clearly not reconciled, and at his strong request, more than twenty monks were left behind. (To be continued......)
