In fact, in Hongyi's eyes, the northern attack Rakshasa does not need any "origin" at all! Because since the turn of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the blatant aggressive ambitions of Tsarist Russia and the crimes of the Far Eastern expeditions have been clearly laid out there.

In 1638 (the eleventh year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty and the third year of Chongde of the Qing Dynasty, that is, the year of the birth of Fulin), the Russian government ordered the establishment of the "Yakutsk Overseer's Office" to further expand to the east and north, and gradually forcibly annexed a large area of land in the Lena River region into the Russian territory.

In 1642 (the fifteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty and the seventh year of Chongde of Taizong of the Qing Dynasty), in the northeastern tip of Eastern Siberia - the valley of Alazeya, the Russians from Yakutsk began to have so-called "contacts" with the Chukotka[1] people, and then announced the annexation of the Chukotka people to the Russian territory.

In 1643 (the sixteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty and the eighth year of Chongde of Taizong of the Qing Dynasty), just when the Qing regime put down the rebellion of Bomu Bogol of the Sauron Department, and successively incorporated the Daur people, Oroqen people, and Huerha people in the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River into the Eight Banners, Golovin, the overseer of the "Yakutsk Governor's Office" of Tsarist Russia, ordered that Yakutsk, which was originally built on the right bank of the Lena River, be moved to the left bank of the river. After that, "Yakutsk" became the command center of Tsarist Russia's further expeditions into Northeast Asia.

In the same year, Golovin, the "Yakutsk Overseer", sent "Vasily? Boyakov "led one hundred and thirty-two Cossacks on another expedition to Heilongjiang, arriving at the Jingchili River in the winter of that year, the first Russians to invade the northeast of our country that we "actually controlled." This gang of bandits burned, killed, and looted in China, and committed all kinds of evil. Because of the lack of food, the Russians actually ate fifty local Chinese residents.

In the spring of 1644 (the first year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty), after receiving reinforcements, "Boyakov" sailed down the Jingqili River and broke into the Heilongjiang, the largest "inland river" in northeast China. Due to the heroic resistance of the people of Daur, Hezhe and Feiyaka on both sides of the middle and lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, when this group of Russian colonial robbers returned to Yakutsk in the second year of Shunzhi, only 53 people remained.

During the Shunzhi period, the Russians took "Yakutsk" as their base camp and general dispatch, and repeatedly sent troops to invade the Heilongjiang River valley and the area east of Lake Baikal, and constantly burned, killed and plundered in the areas inhabited by Daur, Zhusheli, Hezhe, Feiyaka, Soren and Mongolia. It was resolutely resisted by the people of all ethnic groups. Following "Boyakov". The Russian bandit leaders of this period were replaced by the notorious "Khabarov".

In the seventh year of Shunzhi, "Khabarov" led a group of Cossacks to capture the residence of the Daur leader Albaza - Yaksa [Manchu: "a river bend collapsed by the current"] and rebuilt the city. The name of its chief is "Albazin". It is intended to be used as a transit station and stronghold for its own further invasion of the Heilongjiang River Basin. Meanwhile. The bandits also attempted to "persuade" the Chinese emperor to "annex" the Russian monarch and pay him tribute.

On July 9, 1650 (the seventh year of Shunzhi), the "Yakutsk Military and Political Chief" complied with the tsar's decree. The instruction to Khabarov stipulated: "An envoy should also be sent to Prince Bogd (in this case, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty of China) to persuade Prince Bogd to lead his clan and tribe and all the herdsmen of Ulus to join our all-Russian monarch, Tsar Alexei?" Grand Duke Mikhailovich, who served as a servant...... If the prince of Bogd and his clans and tribes and his own herdsmen of Ulus are unwilling to obey, tame, and surrender tribute and hostages in kind to the monarch, then Yerofeij (Khabarov) must lead his military personnel and hunters, etc., to subdue them by means of undeclared raids...... "Moreover, the military chief Dmitry? Andreyevich? Franzbekov was to "collect a large army to attack the princes of Lafkay, Shilkine, Kiligega and Bogd, and other people who refused to pay tribute in kind, and ordered them all to be killed, hanged, and exterminated." After complete conquest, they will take away their wives and children". (See Russian-Chinese Relations in the XVII Century, Vol. I, No. 57, edited by C.A. Tsykhvinsky and other institutions, co-edited by the Institute of Far Eastern Studies of the USSR Academy of Sciences and other institutions.)

One day in June l651 (the eighth year of Shunzhi), a group of Tsarist Russian armed men led by "Khabarov" invaded the ancient Igudar walled city in the Daur region of the Heilongjiang River valley [this is a new three walled cities built by several Daur tribes to resist the Rakshasa demons], "We shot at them from a flat-bottomed wooden boat and killed twenty Daurs"; "We quickly jumped from the boat and went ashore to chase them...... Soon the city was surrounded, and the Daurs fired at us with muskets from the walled city". When Khabarov demanded that the Dahaners surrender and pay tribute in kind to the Tsar, the chief of Guigdar said categorically: "We are paying tribute to the Bogd Emperor Shamshakang (that is, the Qing Emperor Shunzhi), and we want to pay you tribute, and it will have to wait until we cut off our children and grandchildren."

The people of Daur were willing to die and bravely resisted the enemy, and the Russian invaders "continued to shoot at them with large and small guns", and after attacking the walled city, they became furious, "beheading all the captured Daurs", "killing a total of 661 adults and children", and robbing 243 women and 118 children. A total of 1,022 people were killed and snatched, and only "fifteen Daurs fled from the city" in the entire ancient Igudar walled city in this catastrophe. The Khabarov gang also "seized 237 horses from the Daurs." 113 cattle and sheep".

Regrettably, while the battle of Guigudar was raging, there were men dressed in silk standing in the distance outside the city. The Cossacks asked the captured women and learned that they were people sent by Bogd Chechen Khan [Emperor of the Qing Dynasty] to collect taxes. The women say they are resident here and rotate regularly. The next day, a Manchurian in a satin robe and mink hat came to Khabarov and reluctantly translated through the captured Daur woman. The Manchurians said that Bogd Chechen Khan had decreed not to go to war with the Russians, but to meet each other sincerely. The visitor said a lot of other things, but unfortunately no one could understand them. This may be the first time in history that a Chinese official has met with a Russian on Heilongjiang. Khabarov received the emissary warmly and politely. This meeting was written in several books, "The Cossacks of Transbaikal (Outline of History)" (1916), "Cossacks on the Heilongjiang River" (1926), and "Travels of Transbaikal" (1844), probably from the same original source. However, only the "Historical Outline" explicitly stated that the Manchurian Emperor was not allowed to go to war.

Hongyi has his own understanding of this historical material: at that time, communication was inconvenient, and it was impossible for Khabarov to attack ancient Igudar, and the imperial court in Beijing knew about it. Therefore, Qing officials could only convey earlier court directives. In other words, the original Shunzhi wanted to turn the war with the Rakshasa people, but he didn't expect Khabarov to be such a vicious bandit, not some "fur collector"!

In the tenth year of Shunzhi, the bandit leader "Khabarov", whose hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese people, was recalled to China by the tsarist government. He was even hailed as the so-called "leader of the Eastern Crusade"! And the Russian invading army on the Heilongjiang River. Then it was led by "Stepanov".

Regarding Khabarov's crime of aggression against China, in addition to the above, there is even more! According to the book "Cossacks on the Heilongjiang River" by the Soviet historian Bakhrushin, "once. Khabarov ordered all the male prisoners to be drowned". He also forced hostages to do hard labor for the Russian invaders. If they don't obey, they will be tortured and killed at will. Khabarov was furious when he attempted to rape the wife of Prince Shirchinei. Jing "strangled her to death during the night". After a failed attack on the village of Feyaka, he even "cut in half" the head of Feyaka, Mingalcha, who had been kidnapped by them. The heinous crimes of the Khabarov gang in the Heilongjiang region are too numerous to mention!

Since Bakhrushin was a professor in the Soviet Union, and the book "Cossacks on the Heilongjiang River" was written in 1925, Hongyi had doubted whether he stood on the position of a so-called "new society and new system" and had an attitude of "exposing and criticizing" the actions of old Russia. However, when compared with the 1844 book "Chronicles of Transbaikalia" and the 1916 book "The Cossacks of Transbaikalia (Outline of History)," it can be seen that Bakhrushin did not have a clear difference of position, and the historical events and processes described in his pen are roughly the same as those described in other works, but with their own emphasis on the selection of details.

In the summer of the 11th year of Shunzhi, the bandit leader "Stepanov" led more than 370 people to secretly sail into the Songhua River by boat and sail upstream. When Sha Erhuda heard the news, he led 600 Qing troops, with the cooperation of 100 shotgunners from North Korea, led a fleet of 20 large ships and 140 small boats, as well as cavalry and artillery, a total of more than 700 people, and attacked in the area around the mouth of the Songhua River. In the same year, Russia sent "Bektov" to invade the territory of our country from Lake Baikal and forcibly occupy Nebuchu, but under the resistance of the local Chinese people of all nationalities, they soon left, went east to harass the Heilongjiang River, and joined up with the Stepanov bandits.

In the twelfth year of Shunzhi, the Chinese army, under the leadership of Ming Andali, resisted the Russian invading army at Huma Castle on the Heilongjiang River. [Under Hongyi's arrangement, the bandit army was completely annihilated, and more than 200 Rakshasas under Stepanov and Bektov were captured. But in the same year, the Russian tsarist government appointed Bashkov as the "overseer of Heilongjiang." In fact, the Governorate was not established.

This is not counting their accumulated crimes in the real history after the twelve years of Shunzhi, how can Hongyi not be haunted! Now look at how I took you in, and you can't even recognize your own race! is just worthy of being the "Mantar" in the eyes of many "Han people" in later generations! And it is also a distant branch in the Jurchen tribe!

calmed down a little and deepened a little hatred, Hongyi broke free from Emperor Fulin's arms, knelt on the ground in a serious manner, and regardless of the doubts and puzzles on his father's face, he asked steadily:

"I wonder when Emperor Ama is going to let the Eight Banners of the Great Qing Dynasty return to Yaxa?" Hongyi did not have the desire to correct the tsar's title, but he was very concerned about the timing of the use of force.

"This needs to be decided after the Council of Ministers, Baylor, and the Council of Ministers." Fulin showed the rare "democracy" of the feudal emperor, but he wanted to "thank" the legacy of the primitive military democracy left by Nu~Erhachi.

"Oh, but Erchen suggests that Huang Ama should use troops as soon as possible!"

[This chapter is actually a collation of historical materials on Tsarist Russia's eastward invasion of the Heilongjiang River Valley, and it should have appeared as a supplementary provision. However, it could not arouse enough attention and sigh for history among readers, so after weighing it again and again, it was decided to put it in Chapter V, so as to arouse everyone's memory of the blood feud in history! 】

[1] The language of the Chukchi people belongs to the Altaic family of Old Asiatic languages. The Chukotka people believe in animism, worship amulets and believe in shamanism. They are the "Beishan Savage Jurchens" in the Chinese History of the Ming Dynasty, who were nominally under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Ming Dynasty Nuer Gandu Division from 1368 to 1644. In the mid-17th century, the Russians came into contact with them, and subsequently announced the annexation of Chukotka to Russia. But in fact, until the 19th century, the Chukotka people did not submit to Russia. During this period, the Cossacks made several military conquests against the Chukchi, all of which were unsuccessful. After the 60s of the 18th century, the tsarist government completely abandoned the idea of subjugating the Chukchi by force, and the Chukchi people were able to live in peace with the Russians and began to trade with the Russians.
