The names of the various tribes in the Northeast are often named after the rivers.

Sakha Lianbu, which is translated as Heilongjiang, is Heilongjiang, and Sakhalian Ula is Heilongjiang. It generally refers to the indigenous tribes living on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Heilongjiang River, a vast area, which is subdivided into many small tribes.

On the south bank of the Heilongjiang River, there are the Great Xing'an Mountains and the Small Xing'an Mountains, with a difficult environment, a small population, and a relatively primitive state of existence.

The northern shore of the Heilongjiang River, that is, the territory of the Sakhalian people, is relatively more advanced and wealthy.

A lot of arable land has been cultivated along the river, and crops such as barley, oats, buckwheat, millet and peas are grown. However, he couldn't eat enough to rely on farming, so he also fished and hunted, and belonged to a half-fishing, hunting, and half-farming society.

Wang Fuchen came here and soon found traces of war.

It's autumn, when crops such as barley are just ripe, and animals such as sables are plump. The Cossack robbers chose a good time to grab both new grain and freshly skinned fur.

Even for the sake of prestige and weakening the natives, the food that could not be snatched was directly burned.

In front of Wang Fuchen's eyes, large wheat fields were scorched black by the Cossacks.

The chief of the local tribe knelt on the shore with his people, and after Wang Fuchen got off the boat, he immediately cried and cried: "General help, give me some food to eat!" ”

Wang Fuchen, who was not enough for his own military rations, suddenly sneered: "When you helped the Tartars fight and slaughtered the Han people, why didn't you think about distributing food to the Han people?" Now I'm here to help you expel the Rakshasa ghosts, it's enough to ask you for food, and you still want me to give you food? ”

After hearing the translation, the indigenous chief hurriedly defended: "General, we didn't help the Tartars fight, we have always been bullied by the Tartars!" ”

It's not clear.

The Jianzhou Jurchens were purely military expansion, and the Jurchens of the East China Sea, the Jurchens of Haixi, and the Jurchens of Beishan all belonged to the conquest of the Jianzhou Tatars. It is nothing more than conquering cities, killing leaders, plundering populations, and setting up eight banners.

In the early days, all the people who helped the Tartars fight were abducted natives, and they were promoted step by step from slaves. In the middle period, a large number of indigenous people in the Heilongjiang River basin were forcibly relocated to Liaoning, organized into eight banners, produced and cultivated, and fought wars.

As for the natives who have not moved away, they have to pay tribute to the Tatars every year with Dongzhu and furs. Even if they are honest and obedient, they may continue to be attacked by the Tartars, plundering the population to replenish the Eight Banners Army.

These natives definitely belong to the oppressed.

But some of them did join the Eight Banners Army.

This Sakhalian Department alone, there are many names in the history of the "Qing Historical Manuscript". For example, Eyitu died in Changsha. Dorodai died in Bazhou, and his son Sarai died in Dongting Lake. Rolling cloth, died in Luancheng. Ayantu, died in battle at Nanpi. Narmadai, died in Xiamen.

At this time and space, the officers of the Eight Banners who were killed by the Datong Army were at least hundreds of people from the Sakha Company. They fought extremely bravely, or rather had a bad brain, and as soon as the Tartars gave the order, the Sakhalian soldiers rushed forward without fear of life and death.

It is precisely because too many people were plundered by the Tartars, and the death rate after enlisting in the army was extremely high, resulting in the emptiness of the population along the Heilongjiang River.

Otherwise, how could hundreds of Cossack robbers dare to come to Heilongjiang to show off their might?

Wang Fuchen glanced over and found that most of the people kneeling in front of him were old and weak women and children. There are also some young people, who were deliberately left by the Tartars to collect Dongzhu and hunt furs.

Should they be hated?

Or should I pity them?

Wang Fuchen was too lazy to settle old accounts and asked, "When did the Rakshasa ghost leave?" Which way did you go? ”

The indigenous chief replied, "The rakshasas have been gone for six days, and they are divided into two groups. One group went back upstream by boat, carrying the stolen furs and grain. A group rode north and burrowed into the woods, fearing that they would rob the tribes in the forest. ”

"How many of them are there? How many ships are there? How many horses are there? Wang Fuchen asked.

The indigenous chief said, "The ships of the rakshasas are very large, more than two hands and two feet combined. There are not many horses of the Rakshasa ghosts, a little more than two hands. They came and went so fast that we didn't have time to rally warriors to resist. ”

Wang Fuchen said: "I'm asking you, how many Rakshasa ghosts are there? ”

"Too many counts, many, many more." The indigenous chief replied.

Wang Fuchen was so depressed that he called a hundred soldiers, lined up neatly, and asked, "Are there so many?" ”

The indigenous chief said, "More. ”

Wang Fuchen asked the three hundred soldiers to stand in line and asked, "Are there so many?" ”

The indigenous chief carefully recalled: "Less than that. ”

That's about two hundred.

Wang Fuchen pointed to his boat and asked, "Is the ship of the Rakshasa ghost so big?" ”

The indigenous chieftain immediately replied: "Larger than the general's largest ship." ”

Wang Fuchen's grain ships were all collected halfway, and the largest one was not very big, and it seemed that the ship of the Rakshasa ghost was not much bigger.

Wang Fuchen immediately ordered: "Divide the troops to pursue." Luo Yanggui ......"

"In!"

A cavalry officer stepped forward.

Wang Fuchen said: "You take three hundred cavalry to the north to pursue the Rakshasa ghosts, and pick a few locals here to be guides." Regardless of the victory or defeat, he only pursued for half a month and immediately returned to this place the same way. ”

"Yes!"

Luo Yanggui held his head high.

Wang Fuchen said: "The rest of the cavalry will follow me to pursue along the Heilongjiang River. Men, livestock, and boats, marched slowly behind me, leaving fifty cavalry to protect the logistics. ”

Pick a good guide, and the Datong cavalry immediately pursues and kills.

After traveling more than 100 miles along the river, the sentry cavalry rushed back and reported: "General, according to the natives in front, the main force of the Rakshasa ghost is dozens of miles away, where the Heilongjiang River and the Youman River (the Buleya River in Russia) meet. There is a large island in the center of the river, and the rivers on both sides are swampy, and the Rakshasa ghosts are stationed on the river. ”

"These rakshasas are good at fighting." Wang Fuchen couldn't help muttering.

The Cossacks who invaded northeastern China were mainly transported by boats. The boats they built were far superior to the natives, and they could quickly ride away when the situation was bad.

The choice of the place to camp was located on the river island, and with the advantage of the ships, the Cossacks were already invincible. What's more, there were swamps everywhere on both sides of the strait, and the Datong cavalry could not get close quickly.

You can't chase it directly, otherwise you will definitely startle the snake, and the Rakshasa ghost will flee by boat when he feels dangerous.

Missionary Zhong Kaidong said: "If you can make the natives spread the news, it is said that there are Han merchants who bring a large amount of gold and silver to collect furs. Choose another native, the kind that has a blood feud with the Rakshasa ghost, and let him be a dead soldier to report to the Rakshasa ghost. Since the Rakshasa ghost is a robber, he must be lured by gold and silver, and our army can set up an ambush in a suitable place. ”

"Great idea!"

Wang Fuchen said: "The natives here are not very bright. You have to prepare a speech for them, and let them memorize it well, so that they won't be easily exposed. ”

……

The leader of the Cossacks who plundered Heilongjiang was named Khabarov.

The Chinese city of Boli, after being ceded to Tsarist Russia by the Manchus, was renamed "Khabarovka" after this person.

Khabarov was originally a yeoman farmer, and because of the loss of land, he mixed better than the serfs. In order to make a living, he joined the Siberian expedition and gradually became the leader of the expedition, relying on bloody and brutal methods, he was always able to get fur from the hands of the Siberian natives.

With the profits from the sale of furs, Khabarov bribed officials to obtain permits from the government.

Gradually, he not only engaged in the fur business, but also became a smuggler of salt, and bought land to own his own farm.

Khabarov was then targeted by the lords, who not only robbed him of his salt works and farms, but also imprisoned him for tax evasion. The wealth accumulated over the years was wiped out in one fell swoop.

After being released from prison, Khabarov relied on his past fame to explore further east, and reached Heilongjiang step by step.

At present, Khabarov already has a walled city, which is Yaksa on the other side of the Mohe River!

It was originally the station of the Ao La clan of the Daur tribe, and the young and strong of the Ao La clan were taken away by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Empty of the population, it was occupied by Khabarov, and from this base, it was robbed along the Heilongjiang River basin.

Historically, Kangxi signed the Treaty of Nebuchu, which was the result of the war between China and Russia in Yaxa.

Jiang Xinzhou.

Khabarov was eating and drinking with a woman in his arms, who had been snatched from a nearby indigenous village.

In addition to goods and food, the Cossacks also liked to rob women, which they used to vent their anguish on the march. There is no danger, so take the woman back to the base to be a slave girl. If there is danger, throw the woman down, or simply kill and run away.

If you lack food on the way, you can kill women and eat meat!

After eating and drinking, Khabarov called his deputy: "It's been more than ten days, hasn't Yegor come back yet?" Send a few riders and go to the forest to the east to investigate. Don't go too deep and come back in a day or two. ”

"I'm afraid I'm lost." The deputy finished speaking and left.

Khabarov's men, initially only 138 people, a number of ships, three guns, all with muskets.

When he captured Yaksa and took possession of the base, more Cossacks soon followed. At present, the manpower has expanded to 257 men, and the furs have been exchanged for war horses, which were stolen from the Buryat Mongols by the Cossacks further north.

Patting the woman's buttocks and pushing her away, Khabarov said to the indigenous boy next to him: "Give it to you, use it." As long as you are loyal to me, your benefits are indispensable. ”

The indigenous boy hurriedly lay on the ground, kowtowed to thank the gift, and then pulled the woman out to vent his desires.

An indigenous boy from the Ao La clan of the Daur tribe. It had already been conquered by the Cossacks, and all the fierce resistance was killed, and those who were alive were given farming and hunting to the Cossacks. There were also some cowardly and weak people, who were taken into slavery by the Cossacks and became loyal lackeys of the robbers.

Soon there was a wheezing sound from the next door, and the indigenous boy did not dare to resist the robbers, and all his anger was vented on the innocent woman.

When Khabarov heard the voice, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. This kind of woman who was snatched halfway is purely a consumable, and she is tired of playing for a few days. Reward to a slave and gain faithfulness. It's like domesticating a hound, you always have to give the hound meat.

Khabarov carried the firearm on his back and walked to the edge of Jiangxinzhou, overlooking the vast swamps and forests on the other side.

He divided his forces into two forces and went into the forest to raid the natives. Now he had returned, and another was missing, otherwise he would have returned to Yaksa with the booty.

This is not unusual, most likely you are lost.
