The person in charge of the translation was none other than the Daur boy next to Khabarov.

The young man was sent to shout outside the village, and when Wang Fuchen rushed out with the people, he immediately became the first prisoner of the battle.

The Chinese spoken by Wang Fuchen was first translated into the local dialect by the military general, and then the Daur boy guessed and told Khabarov with great uncertainty.

After two or three layers of translation, when it reached Khabarov's ears, it had become a question of asking him "whether he is the Cossack chief or not."

Khabarov patiently explained: "The Cossacks were not tribes, they were free people who were not ruled by their lords. Each Cossack settlement elected its own leader. The big boss is called Hetman, and the small boss is called Ataman. When I was in Yakutsk, I was just a small leader. When I arrived in Yaksa, I became the big boss again. ”

Wang Fuchen asked: "Where is Yakutsk?" And where is Yaksa? ”

"Yakutsk is a castle built on the Lena River, far northeast here," Khabarov said. Yaksa is the village I founded, right at the confluence of the Amur (Heilongjiang) and the Jieya (Jingqili River). ”

After the Daur boy translated, he suddenly looked up at Wang Fuchen, gritted his teeth and said, "It's not a Yaksa, it's our village. He killed all the men in the village, and I survived because I was younger. He gave the living women and children to the robbers under his command. Our patriarch's name was Higinei, and he was also killed by these robbers. The wife of the patriarch, unwilling to obey Khabarov, also bit him, and he strangled him to death. ”

Wang Fuchen glanced at Khabarov and asked the young man, "What else did the Rakshasa ghost do?" ”

The young man Daur said: "These robbers forced us to farm and hunt. He went to other tribes, took many captives, and forced them to build him walls. There was a patriarch of a large tribe whose name was Guigudar. His village built a three-story wall, fought bravely, and killed four Rakshasa bandits. Khabarov was furious, and after breaking through the village, he killed more than 600 people on the spot and abducted more than 300 women and children. ”

Seeing that Wang Fuchen was silent, the young man Daur said: "Two months ago, robbers attacked the city of Tolga (Aihui City). They captured the chieftain Torga, and also captured the great nobleman Turoncha. ”

Torga is the lord of Aihui City, and he is also the commander of the Tartars' canonized cattle.

Tu Longqia, there is a cousin who was married by Huang Taiji to be a Manchu horse because of his bravery.

The young man Daur said: "The city of Tolga (Aihui City) has been burned by robbers. The chieftain Torga and the nobleman Turoncha, their daughters were all taken away, and their wives were killed because they were too old. ”

"You can count?" Wang Fuchen finally spoke, but the focus was different.

The young man said, "I am the same as the great nobleman, also called Tulongcha, and I am the eldest son of the shaman of the clan. ”

O cultural people among the natives!

Wang Fuchen asked: "How far is Yaxa, that is, your village, from Yakutsk?" ”

"I don't know how far it is, but most of the grain we grow, as well as the food looted by the robbers, will be shipped to Yakutsk and sold," Turoncha replied. I heard that you can take a boat along the way, and you can get there in half a month. ”

Wang Fuchen asked again: "How many Rakshasa ghosts are there in Yaksa?" ”

"There are more than twenty more. ”

Wang Fuchen asked Khabarov again: "How many people are there in Yakutsk?" ”

In order to survive, Khabarov immediately sold the Cossacks in Yakutsk: "The prefect of Yakutsk is not a Cossack, but a down-and-out aristocratic officer sent by the Tsar. The prefect of Yakutsk, whose name was Pyotr Golovin. The secretary of Yakutsk, whose name was Vasily Boyarkov. They had the power to tax the Cossacks, so they hated it very much. All that I plunder, I will carry and sell to them. The Cossacks who lived in Yakutsk were only more than two hundred, but the number of dependent natives was five or six hundred. ”

Wang Fuchen continued to ask: "Apart from Yakutsk, where are there Rakshasa ghosts? ”

"On the shores of Lake Baikal there are two castles, Verkhniy Angarsk and Bargutim and Tun. Further west, there are four castles of Ust-Kut, Verkhniylesk, Osinsk and Bratsk. Those places were the territories of the Buryat Mongols. ”

Wang Fuchen was confused, and asked the natives and the accompanying military interpreters, barely figuring out what Buryatia was, that is, the Buriyati of northern Mongolia.

As for Lake Baikal, after repeated inquiries and speculation, missionary Zhong Kaidong suddenly interjected: "Baikal, I'm afraid it's the North Sea." ”

"Beihai?" Wang Fuchen still didn't understand.

Zhong Kaidong said: "Su Wu shepherds sheep on the North Sea. ”

Wang Fuchen, as a general, performed well, but he was recommended to go to a military school.

Although I only read it for a year, I also know many allusions. Because in addition to military subjects, military schools also cultivate loyal and patriotic thoughts, what Su Wu shepherds, what Yue Fei resists gold, Wang Fuchen has heard countless stories.

"Where Su Wu shepherds sheep," Wang Fuchen first laughed, and then made an angry expression, "How can the place where the ancestors herd sheep be taken away by robbers?" I'll report when I go back, and I'll have to get Beihai back sooner or later! ”

Zhong Kaidong said: "In this person's confession, there are more than one or two Rakshasa ghosts. We will only destroy one of them, and if we withdraw directly, then the Yakutsk Rakshasa will inevitably go south to occupy Yaksa again. We have to leave some soldiers to defend it, but we can't garrison it without permission. ”

Wang Fuchen asked the young man Daur: "How far is Yaksa from here?" ”

Tu Longqia said: "It will take six or seven days to take a boat along the river, and it will not exceed ten days against the water." But there are some places on the shore that are difficult to walk, as well as forests and mountains, and I am afraid that it will take a month or two to walk. ”

Zhong Kaidong said: "It's almost winter, you have to go back quickly." On the way back, let the tribes who know how to build ships build more transport ships and promise to exchange food for the coming year. Next year, there is no need to bring these many war horses, and when you arrive at the Songhua River, the whole army will come and go by boat, and when the time comes, you will bring a few artillery pieces and then go to attack the walls of Yaxa. ”

Wang Fuchen asked, "How are the walls of Yaksa repaired?" ”

Khabarov said: "There were not enough men, only a few low earth walls were built, and the castle had not yet been built. ”

Zhong Kaidong said: "It's too cold and remote here, and the grain production is small, so it's impossible to station too many troops. If you want to rule here, you have to learn from the Tartars of Jianzhou, canonize some indigenous leaders, and let the indigenous leaders govern on their behalf. We hurried back to Liaoning and reported the details to the imperial court. When the army is sent next year, it is best to bring the court envoys and canonize those chieftains as Tusi along the way. ”

"Your ideas are good, listen to you." Wang Fuchen said with a smile.

Two days later, the Datong army returned the same way, and the Daur boy Tulongqia was also taken with him, not as a prisoner.

Turoncha followed Khabarov as a dog, and no one cared about how many bad things he did. He has a flexible mind, can count, is an indigenous culture, and is familiar with the Heilongjiang River Valley, which is enough to serve as a military guide in the coming year.

Thirty-seven Cossack prisoners were tied up on grain ships and guarded, almost one on each boat, to prevent them from rebelling after gathering.

The grain ship was small and had no cabins.

Khabarov was not only tied up with flowers, but also had rags stuffed in his mouth, and could not make a sound at all. He was terrified in his heart, because Wang Fuchen did not follow the script.

In Russia, Poland and Lithuania, a famous Cossack leader like him, no matter how many bad things he had done in the past, as long as he was willing to join and serve, the lords were willing to accept it. The lord here, why don't you accept yourself? He also tied himself up and took him away, did he take it back to kill his head?

The army returned all the way back to the Songhua River valley, where Khabarov had been there last year. Compared with the "rich" middle and upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River and the Songhua River basin can already be called "rich and flowing oil".

Continue the march along the Songhua River, and gradually come to a place that Khabarov has not robbed.

Passing through the steppes of the Mongols, past Harbin and Changchun, Khabarov was ordered to disembark and walk.

There has not changed much here, and the perennial war is sparsely populated, until it reaches the territory of Anle Prefecture, and the population quickly becomes dense.

The jurisdiction of Anle Prefecture is very broad, including Shuangliao, Siping, and Kangping in later generations. The original Han Chinese, Jurchens and Mongols have settled in Fentian for resettlement, and after several years of immigration, the registered population of the whole state (over 12 years old) exceeds 40,000.

In the eyes of the Han people in the south, the sparse villages can be described as remote and desolate.

But the more Khabarov looked at it, the more frightened he became, and every day he passed by two or three villages, each with at least a few dozen or hundreds of people. This is much richer than Heilongjiang and Songhua River, and it is thought that it has reached the core of the lord's rule.

Finally, they arrived at the city of Anlezhou, where there were more than 2,000 residents.

In this "big city", Khabarov was handed over and suddenly separated from the lord. The Cossack captives, led by a group of soldiers, were escorted to the "giant city" of Tieling.

Seeing the walls of Tieling, a thought came to Khabarov's mind: Could it be that he was escorted to the king? If not the king, I'm afraid it's at least an archduke!

However, the captives did not enter the city at all.

After resting at a post station outside the city for one night, he was escorted to continue on the road and came to Shenyang in a short time.

Seeing the city wall of Shenyang, Khabarov was shocked inexplicably.

The king, there must be a king living in the city!

Unfortunately, he did not enter the city, and went all the way down by boat, and then came to the seashore, and waited a few days before boarding the naval warship.

What a majestic battleship, Khabarov had the pleasure of seeing Ottoman battleships, which were not at all lost to the Ottoman Navy.

Khabarov was thrown into the cabin and held in detention, unable to see what was going on outside. He only felt that after a few days of stopping, the cargo in the cabin was moved out and some goods were brought in.

When he was escorted off the ship, he came to a huge harbor (Shanghai).

Good...... That's a lot of people!

Khabarov looked at the dock stupidly, and the dense crowd made him frightened for no reason. When you turn your head, the harbor is full of merchant ships, and each ship means endless wealth.

Then, he was stuffed into the cabin and headed down the Yangtze River to Nanjing.

The moment he returned to the deck and saw the city wall of Nanjing, Khabarov couldn't help but weaken his legs: Great Lord, where have I been?

Along the way into the city, Khabarov saw a lot of nobles.

It was early winter, and passers-by were dressed thickly. But some people's padded jackets are covered with silk. Some wore leather clothes, some wore sweaters, all in fashionable styles, and in Khabarov's opinion, they were all aristocratic lords.

Finally, Khabarov understood that this must be the capital of the Khitans!
