Jidu stared directly at Yalei's diary, which was clouded and misty because of Ablin's glance, and suddenly broke off his name, and then heard this guy call himself "small" in fear, and knew that this matter had been done, but on the surface, he still said ruthlessly:

"Yarezhkin, your life and Ablin's life are now tied together. If he can live, you can live, and if he dies, you will not live a few more days! Do you understand? ”

"Understood! Got it! The little one understands it very well! There was no room for careful consideration, and Yarezhkin hurriedly spoke. As if it weren't enough, he turned to his companion, crossed his chest with two fingers instead of three, and solemnly swore an oath:

"Ablin, you should be honest with the general. I swear to Our Lady that I will not harm you in the slightest! ”

"Ablin, just say it. If he breaks his oath, I'll be the first to clean him up for you!" "In order to get Ablin's plan, Jidu also gave a promise.

"General Xie! Then I'll tell you about it! Ablin was satisfied, for he had re-established his leadership over the stupid Cossack of Yaryzhkin before Zidu.

"I mean, the general can march into a key point and directly cut off Moscow's communication artery to the Far East!" Ablin also waved his right hand decisively, as if there was an invisible silk thread in front of him, and cut it with a knife!

"Cut off the road? That's a good idea. But Ablin, how easy is it to cut off the road in this vast snowfield and boundless woodland? ”

Jidu is not stupid, Aberin's proposal is very good. But looking at the surroundings of Suwu Lake, thousands of soldiers can be hidden everywhere, and there is no danger of "one man is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open".

"The general doesn't know anything. I said that Ivanov was going to murder me, and then let Yaryzhkin wait for an opportunity to go to a place and send reinforcements...... "Ablin had already regarded himself as Jidu's military advisor at this time, and he was also talking in a trick.

"Oh? You mean...... Tobolsk? Jidu has a good memory, so he naturally came up with the answer.

"The general is really powerful! With you, not to mention the Far East, even Siberia has to come without effort! "Ablin is ostensibly a boast, but in fact he is saying that his plan is even more powerful!

"You just have to let your army go a little further west. Follow the northern foothills of the mountain range to the west. In other words, it is a three-to-five-day journey to a small town race called 'Krasnoyar[1]', and it will be easy for your army to take it and several small towns around it. After that, go west. It's Tomsk. This will also be the first place you can call an 'opponent' when your invincible army encounters. Because he is a military stronghold of Moscow in Siberia. Ablin elaborated. Completely ignoring the dumbfounded Yaryzhkin, who still can't believe his decisive backlash.

"Hmm......" Jidu was silent.

"But I firmly believe that the army of the brave and fearless Emperor Bogda must be invincible! After taking Tomsk. Your army can get their supplies and baggage from here on the spot. Then I advise you to go on your expedition to the west! Because that's what you're talking about in Tobolsk. This is the throat of Moscow to and from the Far East, and if you take it, all the castles, personnel, and materials of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the East will become a turtle in the urn! Ablin was overjoyed. His words also became full of confidence under the polish of the translation. Later, Ablin was a little insufficient, and added:

"You must know that the fortress in the far north, the exchange of personnel and materials also has to be transshipped through Tobolsk!"

"I see! Ha Lu Ha! ”

Jidu understood and laughed loudly. After a long time, he said:

"Ablin, what a great idea! Ha Lu Ha! ”

Jidu was full of confidence, because he had inadvertently made arrangements according to Ablin's idea—the Mongolian commander with the blue banner, Jishiha, had already led a group of men and horses from his headquarters and marched west five days ago. It's just that there is another small force that went north according to Jidu's requirements, in order to find out whether the Rakshasas in the northern part of Suwu Lake still have a stronghold and how the troops are deployed.

According to the military report sent back by Zishiha in the past few days, he had already arrived at the place called "Krasnoyarsk" a few days ago, and he must have made dumplings with him, captured more than 200 people, and carried a few more baggage. Not only that, but according to Jidu's instructions, a detachment of Mongolians with blue flags under the banner of Jixiha also took the northern road, from the southwest corner of Suwu Lake, along an originally unknown water system[2] all the way to the north, and also took a place called Bratsk [3] by the Rakshasas, and the whole process was even more suspenseful.

Speaking of taking this Bratsk, in fact, it was really a piggybacking thing, all because of the insistence of many "Buryatia" Mongols who acted as interpreters accompanying the army. Because among the Buryats, who regard Lake Baikal as the "land of the gods", there are many myths and legends, especially the legend of the sacred stone "Angara". At the outlet of Lake Baikal into the Angara River, there is a boulder in the middle of the stream, which the locals call the "Holy Stone". When the water rises, the cobblestone rolls.

Legend has it that once upon a time there lived a warrior named Baikal who had a beautiful daughter named Angara on his knees. Baikal loved his daughter very much, and he was very strict with her, not allowing her to step out of the house. One day, a seagull flew from afar and told Angara that there was a young man named Yenisei who was very industrious and brave, and Angara's affection was spontaneous.

When Baikal learned of this, he categorically refused to allow it, and wanted to marry his daughter to a young man nearby. Angara had no choice but to run away from home while his father was asleep. Baikal woke up from a deep slumber and could not catch up with him, so he picked up a stone and threw it in the direction of his daughter's escape, thinking that he would block her way, but her daughter had gone far and threw herself into the arms of the Yenisei as she wished. But this small stone turned into a boulder, and since then it has stood in the middle of the lake.

When one of Zidu's armies headed north, the Buryats, who accompanied the army's interpreters, naturally suggested going north along their Angara River for a pilgrimage. All the way down. Naturally, the first to take the town on the riverside - Bratsk. More than the insignificant resistance in this fortress, the "only trouble" is that the abundant waters of the Angara River are too turbulent! Two or three soldiers who did not know the nature of the water accidentally fell into the water, and before the people on the ship could react, they had disappeared without a trace, and their bodies have not been found so far.

Ji Du only smiled at the anecdotes contained in this military report, and did not care at all about a soldier who died in a flood, all he could do was to write in the war report "With the record of battle damage, it can be used for military exploits". Because he cares more. It is based on time calculation. At this point, the Blue Bow should be able to touch the Tomsk that Ablin is talking about!

"The general has won the prize! Although I am a businessman, I have traveled between Siberia and Moscow for many years, and I am not very familiar with the shape of the route, but I am familiar with it. Ablin cocked the short nose that is characteristic of Orientals. But with the usual Westerners' usual movements, he shrugged his shoulders very exaggeratedly.

"Ablin!" Jidu could see that the man was getting carried away. Abruptly named.

"Huh? General! Ablin had to pick himself up again. Deal with it carefully.

"Your idea is very good, Yarezhkin also heard it!" Jidu said with a smile.

This sentence is actually to tell Ablin and Yarezhkin, who still have a "small abacus" - you have already made suggestions for my Daqing. The so-called "open the bow without turning back", and then think about one minister and two masters, it is impossible!

"We are willing to serve the general!" How did Ablin not understand the meaning of Jidu's words, so he had to pull up Yarezhkin, who was still a little stunned, and made a compromise.

"Really? It seems that you are really willing to swear allegiance to my Great Qing Dynasty? Loyal to our Emperor, Your Majesty? Is it? ”

Jidu asked two "yes" in a row, but even gave the answer at the same time.

"We are willing to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty and His Majesty the Emperor!"

I don't have a choice, I can only do this, after all, it is important to save my life!

"Good! Clerk, have you written it all? Jidu asked back to the starter.

"General Yu, word for word, all recorded!"

As he spoke, a soldier turned from behind the curtain - it turned out to be Shuwen who took Ablin to "kill" Ivanov! It turned out that this person had been hiding behind the curtain and recorded the conversation between the people just now.

At this moment, both Ablin and Yarezhkin knew that there was no turning back!

"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] Krasnoyar, now known as "Krasnoyarsk City", is the seat of government of the "Krasnoyarsk District". Since the Second World War, it has become the rear of the Soviet Union, and many factories have moved here, which has greatly contributed to the local economy, and it has become one of the most important cities in Siberia. In July 1628, the pioneers, led by General Andrey Dubenskoy, reached the Yenisei and Kacha rivers [Kan River, which emptied into the Yenisei from the right bank at a distance of 108 km from the city of Krasnoyarsk. The Kan River has a total length of 643 kilometers, a basin area of 37,520 square kilometers, and an average annual flow of 261 cubic meters per second in the estuary. The Kan River is a mountainous river with many rocky beaches and narrow valleys. The river is mainly fed by snowmelt and rain, and the whole river is often flooded. The main tributaries were the confluence of the Pezzo, Anjou, Azam and Rybnaya rivers, etc., and fortifications were built on the spot as outposts of the Russian army, in preparation for the next military operation against the Yenisei natives. Together with the city of Kansk, which is not far to the east, it represents the southernmost point of the Russian exploration of the source of the Yenisei River in the 17th century. In a letter to the tsar, the Cossacks stationed there wrote: "...... In this town, which is full of wooden houses, we struggled to build a defensive line. As your servants, we have set up a system of work as you wish, ensuring that the fort is strengthened while exploring new territories......" According to the Yenisei, the fortress was named 'KrasnyYar' at the time. Later, the fortress was raised to the rank of a town and later changed its name to its current name, Krasnoyarsk.

In 1741, Krasnoyarsk ushered in a period of rapid development after the completion of the Siberian Post Road, which connected the frontier regions with the European part of Russia. The discovery of gold in the area and the opening of the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1895 further contributed to the development of the city. In 1749, a 700-kilogram stony-iron meteorite fell 145 miles south of Krasnoyarsk. German naturalist Peter. Simon. Pallas made it unearth in 1772. This meteorite is significant in the history of science, as it was the first time that an olive meteorite was discovered and studied. In the 19th century, Krasnoyarsk was the center of the Siberian Cossack movement. On January 26, 1822, the site was upgraded to a town. In 1823, it became the administrative center of Russia in the Yenisei Valley, the capital of Yenisei County. By the end of the 19th century, there had been some heavy industry such as manufacturing and train assembly. During the Russian Empire, Krasnoyarsk was also one of the places of exile for political prisoners. For example, after the failure of the Decembrist uprising of 1825, eight major leaders were exiled here. In 1896, the Trans-Siberian Railway was built, industry and commerce developed, and the population increased dramatically. After the October Revolution, in the process of industrialization of the Soviet Union, numerous heavy industries, such as paper mills, shipyards, large river ports, and hydroelectric power stations (Krasnoyarsk Hydroelectric Power Station has the fifth installed capacity in the world and the second in Russia), were established in Krasnoyarsk.

[2] This system is actually supposed to be the present-day Angara River. The Angara River, downstream is called the Upper Tunguska. The Siberian River of Russia, the largest tributary of the Yenisei River. It originates from Lake Baikal, flows northward, then turns westward, flows through the southern part of the Central Siberian Plateau, and empties into the Yenisei River near the village of Strelka. It is 1779 km long. The basin covers an area of 1.04 million square kilometers.

[3] Bratsk, a city in the Irkutsk region of Eastern Siberia, Russia. On the upper left bank of the Angara River. The old town was built in 1631 after being submerged by a reservoir, and in 1955 a new town was built in the nearby village of Pianovo. Population 240,000 (1985). There is a railway to the Trans-Siberian Railway. River port. There are large aluminium smelters and wood processing-pulp complexes. 16 kilometers southeast of the city is the large Bratsk hydropower station (installed capacity of 4.5 million kilowatts).
