In the castle "Angarsk", thousands of miles away from the new castle Ulan-Ude, the military and political governor of the Baikal region, who was appointed by the Moscow Siberian Yamen [1] and the Tomsk Governor's Office [2] for less than a year. Ivanovich. Boyar also regretted it.

A year earlier, he had traveled from Yeniseisk on the west bank of the Yenisei River to this young castle, proudly titled the prefect of all the military and political powers in all places. Since 1644, Yeniseisk has been sending people to build a series of castles in the Baikal area as a springboard for further "exploration" to the East. It was against this background that seven years earlier, in 1647, the "Angarsk" was built, and a year later it was officially completed. The first military and political governor spent his five-year term and returned to Yeniseisk with a lot of money. At that time, as a descendant of the down-and-out boyar nobility, he was looking forward to restoring his family's prestige, or it would be more accurate to look forward to a large sum of rubles. So he followed in the footsteps of this person and came without hesitation.

The reason why Ivan was willing to go to such a place was because his friends in Tomsk strongly recommended to him how rich the newly opened colony around Lake Baikal was, and how much the clans here were enduring. The friend also boasted that if he was good at using the role of the local "ulus", that is, the clan organization, to keep the chieftains and chieftains in office, the Buryats and Yakuts in the Baikal region would still be able to live in their original organization, but they would be honest and obedient to exploitation. Burdened with taxes in kind and other conscription. In this way, within five years of his term, he can return to Moscow to buy a decent estate......

"Blessed Virgin Mary, please don't listen to the prayers of the man, he is actually a liar who has defrauded me of 100 roubles of my family fortune for nothing! What's even worse is that he brought me to a damn hell - Baikal ......"

Steward Ivan put his fingers together and made a reverent cross on his chest.

The Angarsk Castle was also very important, as the first Moscow stronghold on Lake Baikal, both the Siberian Yamen and the Tomsk Governorate attached great importance to it. Otherwise. As a general castle steward. Originally, his appointment could have been ordered directly by the Overseer's Office. However, his appointment and dismissal were jointly carried out by the Moscow Central Committee and the Tomsk Governor's Office. But so what? I've been besieged for more than two months! Why hasn't Yeniseisk sent a single soldier so far?

Where did the governor of Ivan know the way from the Yenisei overseer Afanasy. The 500 marksmen, infantry Cossacks and cavalry Cossacks who came to Pashkov's order were already in great trouble......

"Your Excellency! Lord Steward! Those Bogda soldiers are setting up siege artillery! "Suddenly. The door was slammed open by Ivan's scribe. The news that followed. It's like a bolt from the blue!

"Virgin Mary......" Steward Ivan collapsed limply in his office......

The person responsible for surrounding the small Angarsk is the Blue Banner Manchurian Gushan Ezhen Fourth Jia, Lazhangjing, the First Niu Lu Zhangjing, and the World Management Leader Tong Jia. Yaer Bixi, and a leader under the command of the Red Banner Han Army A Lazhangjing [Staff] Tong Guoxi personally led. More than 200 people in total.

Despite the fact that there are only more than 200 people, it still surrounds an Angarsk castle the size of a peean and is impassable, but a passage is left under the hillside in the southeast corner, allowing the scattered Rakshasas and Cossacks nearby to enter the city in a hurry. And at this moment, Tong Guoxi was commanding the Han army gunners under his command, and then assumed that two of the only three red-clothed cannons under the command of the whole staff!

"Leader, we have worked hard to pull this red-clothed cannon from the capital, but we have not let go of a pill to this day. You better have ordered the small ignition to fire a shot earlier! It's been around for more than a month......" gunner Sun Jin complained with some dissatisfaction, but the work in his hands did not stop at all.

"'Sun Tzu'! Don't give me a cannon all over my mouth! Tong Guoxi scolded with a smile. Sun Jin's natural surname is "Sun", so in front of this counselor, he has always been shortened by two generations.

"Leader, the cannon on the mouth is not as happy as the red-clothed cannon! It's just that the road is too far, or our Shenwei General can also come, and the cannon will go out, and Sun Tzu will guarantee that you will enter the city directly with a dozen horses. You can't ride too fast, or if you're not careful, you'll rush out of the gap in the north......" Sun Jin didn't give up, and at first glance, he had a good relationship with this dignified military attache from the Sanpin Imperial Court.

......Hearing Sun Jin wantonly exaggerate the power of the Shenwei General's cannon and belittle the city defense of the small castle in front of him, the busy gunners around him laughed happily.

"Ha Lu Ha! Brothers, listen to Sun Jin's words! However, these two redcoat cannons are also sufficient. Wait until the peak gives an order, you can open the cannon, if anyone wants to beat it out of the effect of the Shenwei General's cannon, brother, I will immediately give you credit! Guerrilla generals, that's all a piece of cake! Tong Guoxi took the opportunity to boost morale.

"Is that true?" Sun Jin was the first to come!

"Grandson, when did you see me talking?" Tong Guoxi showed no weakness.

"Great! Brothers, get out of the way, don't grab this first shot from me. A guerrilla general came out with one shot, and my Sun Jin should not let it go! ”

"Come on, old grandson, why should we give it to you!" Naturally, some people laughed and disagreed......

The atmosphere on the hillside is very convivial, in stark contrast to the lifeless atmosphere of the castle below.

"Guoxi, you still have to be careful!" At this moment, a Manchu sentence came from behind Tong Guoxi. He didn't have to look back, he knew who it was.

"Brother Albixi, aren't you here too?" Tong Guoxi also changed to Manchu, and when he turned around, he cordially greeted the visitor.

"Why, if you can come, I can't come? Jia Lazhangjing can come, why am I, Niu Lu Zhangjing, scared? Ha Lu Ha! Albixi smiled heartily.

In fact, both of them are Tong Jia's family, but Yaer Bixi is an old Manchurian who has always lived in Tong Jia's place, Tong Guowei's grandfather Tong Yangjia, is the cousin of Tong Yangzheng, Tong Yangxing, etc., went to the Han land to do business in his early years, and later became the governor of Guangdong, but died at the hands of Li Chengdong. But according to the bloodline, Yaerbixi and Tong Guoxi are still related.

"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] In the course of the conquest of Siberia, in order to effectively rule the occupied territories and occupy new lands, in 1637 the Russians established an independent Siberian yamen in the center of Moscow as an agency for the overall formulation of Siberian policy.

[2] Each of the major castles in Siberia had an overseer, and the overseer's office was called the Overseer's Office, which was stationed by the central government of Tsarist Russia to carry out all orders of the Siberian yamen, and was directly responsible to the Siberian yamen. Because the Overseers had to have certain military qualities, the appointment of the Overseers was first nominated by the Ministry of War of the Central Government, and then submitted to the Siberian Yamen for announcement and assignment after being submitted to the Tsar for approval. Overseers of different grades generally differed in rank and were generally overseers or chamberlains, but the overseers of important castles were often high nobles or royal courtiers, such as Verkhoturiye and Irkutsk Overseers were courtiers, while Tobolsk and Yeniseisk Overseers were high nobles. Overseers have political, economic, military, and judicial powers in their territory. The term of office of the Overseers was not fixed until the end of the seventeenth century, but was mostly between three or four years, but also two or even six or seven years.

In 1655, the "Yeniseisk Overseer", one of the four major overseers of Siberia in Tsarist Russia, had not yet been established, and he was only formally established in 1676. At this time in this period, there are only three overseers in Siberia from west to east: the Tobolsk Overseer (1607), the Tomsk Overseer (1628), and the Yakutsk Overseer (1645), and the Baikal region is under the "jurisdiction" of the Tomsk Overseer.
