The name Siberia is a transliteration of the Mongolian word "xabar", which means "earthy, muddy place". In ancient times, Siberia was a muddy place. The Mongolian ancestors who lived here gave the place its name based on the topography, and on the map of ancient China, this land is called "Luo Wilderness".

It was in the XVI-XIX centuries that Tsarist Russia annexed the lower reaches of the Volga, took control of the shipping route to the Caspian Sea, annexed Ukraine east of the Dnieper, and fought Sweden to seize the Baltic Sea estuary. Great war with Turkey, seizure of the Black Sea estuary. In the east, Tsarist Russia expanded beyond the Urals to Siberia, invaded the Heilongjiang and Ussuri River basins in China, and occupied the Caucasus and Central Asia. Through these wars and expansions, Tsarist Russia gradually expanded from a small landlocked country to a large empire spanning two continents, Europe and Asia.

Zhou Huchen, who had completely woken up, finally knew that he could not underestimate the rising greedy polar bear, and his trip to Siberia would be a long-lasting torment.

For the sake of the longevity of the victory, for the future of Siberia, and in order to bring Tsarist Russia back to its original shape, Zhou Huchen immediately took action.

At the same time as summoning military funds behind him again, a letter asking for help from Huang Degong and Wang Deyong was sent.

The territory of Siberia is too vast, and Zhou Huchen needs more soldiers, supplies, and population. There are no longer so many people in Inner Mongolia, and Zhou Huchen summoned 50,000 soldiers this time, bringing their families with them.

The long journey will take a long time, and Zhou Huchen estimates that these people should arrive after he takes Siberia. And these people can also take root in Siberia, and with the subsequent relocation, Zhou Huchen estimates that a new and different Siberia will appear on this shijie.

Not far north of Urge, the largest population gathering place of the Tushetu Khan tribe, is the majestic Mount Bhuhan (Mount Kent), and 700 miles along the western foot of this Mongolian sacred mountain is Siberia, which Zhou Huchen has longed for.

Nine days later, the cavalry, led by the guides of the Tushetu Khan tribe, first reached the border between the Tushetu Khan and Siberia.

An endless army of cavalry was climbing a low and rolling hillside. On the hillside, Zhou Huchen saw patches of rich forests and green grasslands, and Siberia arrived.

When the magnificent Siberia appeared in front of him, Zhou Huchen let out a long sigh: "Siberia, I'm here!" ”

Waiting for Zhou Huchen to calm down, Chahu Dorji smiled and immediately began to introduce him to the situation in front of him: "Dashuai, this is Lingbei, and there are such grasslands and forests in this area for hundreds of miles. More than 100 miles to the north is Xiaohai, and the area is also full of mountains and forests. To the northwest, too, there are many grasslands and forests. Further north, the forests are more dense and full of mountains. ”

Lingbei said by Chahun Dorji belongs to the name of the Yuan Dynasty, Lingbei Province is one of the ten provinces in the Yuan Dynasty, the full name is Lingbei and other places in the Book Province, is the northernmost province of the Yuan Dynasty. It stretched to Urge in the south, Beihai (present-day northern Siberia) in the north, including central Siberia and most of Outer Mongolia, Shihe in Yeer in the southwest, and the then Kipchak Khanate and Chagatai Khanate in the west; southeast to Harawen Mountain (now Daxing'an Mountains). The Elena River is bordered by the province of Liaoyang to the east; All the forest tribes and kings belonging to the Yuan Dynasty were under the jurisdiction of the northern part of the desert and the western part of the desert, and the south was separated from the desert and the province of Zhongshu and Gansu Province.

"Xiaohai" refers to Lake Baikal, which was under the control of the Xiongnu during the Western Han Dynasty. Known as "Beihai", Su Wu was exiled to "Beihai" by the Xiongnu king Shan Yu to shepherd sheep. Su Wu survived 19 years by the North Sea, and Zuihou returned to Chang'an, the Han capital, which is the famous Su Wu shepherd in the annals of history.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms and the Western Jin Dynasty. Lake Baikal is under the control of Xianbei, or is it also called the "North Sea"; During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Lake Baikal was renamed "Yusini Water"; Northern and Southern Dynasties period. Lake Baikal was first controlled by Rouran, and then by the Turks, and is still called "Yusini Water"; During the Sui Dynasty, Lake Baikal was controlled by the Eastern Turks and renamed "Beihai"; In the early Tang Dynasty, Lake Baikal became part of the territory of the Tang Empire, and it belonged to the Guligan genus of Guannei, and Lake Baikal was also renamed "Xiaohai"; Later, the Eastern Turks (known as the Later Turks in history) were restored, and Lake Baikal was returned to the Turks, and then returned to the jurisdiction of the Uighurs, which is still called "Xiaohai"; During the Song Dynasty, Lake Baikal was controlled by the Mongol Barakhu Division; In the 13th century, the Buryats, descendants of Mongolia, also came to the Baikal region. During the Mongol and Yuan periods, Lake Baikal was included in the territory of the Mongol Empire and belonged to the province of Lingbei; During the Ming Dynasty, Lake Baikal was controlled by the Varaburiti tribe and now belongs to the Buryat tribe.

Zhou Huchen was very excited, he had been yearning for the resounding name of Lake Baikal for too long: "Since you are here, then let's go to Xiaohai, but I don't know if the nearby Buryats are going to war with us?" ”

Chahun Dorji on the side hurriedly stopped: "Marshal, it is estimated that this war is difficult to avoid, and the Buryats, who are used to freedom, will not give in easily." According to some hunters who traded with the Buryats, Xiaohai was a large lake surrounded by lofty mountains, surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, and there was no access for the army to enter. ”

"That's it!"

Zhou Huchen was a little disappointed, it seems that this Baikal Lake will not be able to go for the time being: "Then let's move on, try not to start a war with the Buryats, you can try to let Master Zhelang communicate with these Buryats, but pay attention to safety." ”

It may be difficult to lead a large army into someone else's territory and make people submit without going to war, but Zhou Huchen still has to fight for peace. Avoid war as much as possible, killing brings hatred, and peaceful coexistence is good for future rule. His goal was not the Buryats, but the invasion of Tsarist Russia in Siberia.

Every nation is a great river, flowing continuously. Zhou Huchen didn't want to conquer any land in a genocidal way, even if it was the Jurchens who brought that dark age to China, Zhou Huchen chose a more gentle way, not to mention these Buryats who had lived in Siberia for a long time.

In fact, without Zhou Huchen's urging, Grand Lama Zhelang couldn't wait to rush to the front of the team. He was even more active than Zhou Huchen, because the Living Buddha of Zhanabazar gave him a promise that if he could be in Siberia, the Living Buddha of Zhanabazar allowed him to build a missionary temple here, and he would become the first presiding officer of this temple.

The establishment of the sect will even have the opportunity to become the existence second only to the living Buddha in the future, the attraction is too great, where can the Grand Lama Zhelang sit still...... (To be continued......)
