During the Yuan Dynasty, the owners of the land in the Baikal region and the Shilka River area, in addition to the Uliangha (Tsui Nianggai) Huoli and Bald, there were also the Buliya Tibu, Maomingan (Mao Mingying), and the Ministry.

After the death of the Yuan Dynasty in the 14th century, Emperor Yuan Shun fled north to Timur and continued to claim the Yuan Dynasty, still governing the east of Lake Baikal to the Primorsky region.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchus, an ethnic minority in northeastern China, rose to prominence, and their tribal leaders unified a vast area stretching from Lake Baikal in the west to the sea in the east before they could unify the country.

In the 15th century, Muscovy "recruited all the people to drive out the Mongols" and expanded into Siberia. During this period, the Mongolian tribe of Brega, which had been active in the western part of Lake Baikal for a long time, gradually migrated to the eastern part of the lake.

In 1643, the Cossack Kurbat Ivanov of the Yenisei region came to the Baikal region.

In 1653, by Peter? The Cossack detachment led by Beketov created the first military fortress in the Baikal region near the confluence of the Ingoda and Chita rivers.

In 1666, a wooden military fortress was built on the banks of the Uda River in Upper Udinsk.

In 1689 (the 28th year of the reign of Kangxi), China and Russia signed the Treaty of Nebuchu in Nerchensk, stipulating that the area east of Transbaikal from the line of the Ergun River to the east along the Outer Khingan Mountains to the sea is the border between China and Russia, and the Heilongjiang River basin belongs to China.

In 1727 (the fifth year of Yongzheng), China and Russia signed the "Kyakhta Treaty" in Kyakhta, stipulating that the border between the two countries is from the west of the Chuku River (known as "Чикой" in Russian) along the Bulgut Mountains to the Boyi Shaling.

The emergence of large areas of Russian land along the Angara and upper Lena rivers led to the loss of the original land range of the Buryats and the change in the economic base of the indigenous population.

Linna, this time you understand, Sanjay's statement that our ancestors are inextricably linked to China is really not groundless. The evolution of the Buryats and the northern peoples of China is inseparable. ”

- "There are Buryat people in China as well, so I think we are really related by blood. I was actually very curious about who my ancestors were, and my cousin said that our family had emigrated here from the Cossacks and then to China. I don't have to be able to find some of their previous marks here. I said.

- "Great, Linna, you know what? In fact, Lake Baikal is really like a treasure, there are countless secrets waiting to be discovered, which is another reason why Baikal always has a mysterious. ”

- "Linna, come with us to the cabin!" How about we take you on a tour of Lake Baikal? Sanjay, who was in high spirits, suggested.

- "Cabin? "I'm a little confused

- "Our relative has a wooden house by the lake, and I live with him every time I go fishing on Lake Baikal," said Peter

- "Haha...... Linna, do you think we're going to stay in a hotel when we go fishing? Sanjay laughed.

- "Yes, Lina, if you don't have any special requirements for staying in the hotel, go to the cabin with them." Our relative's wooden house is right next to the lake, which is the most beautiful place on the southern shore of Lake Baikal. Peter also said.

- "Thank you for the invitation, but I'm not bothering you too much. I said.

I thought to myself, even though I had a good impression of Peter and Sanjay, we had only met twice. Although I confess that we are relatives, I really don't know these two lads very well. I do have some concerns about living with them......

- "Why are you talking about disturbing things again?" Linna, you really look like a Muscovite at this point, we invite you because we think you are our own people, do you think we Buryats will tell lies? Sanjay said.

Peter looked at me, smiled, took out a business card, handed it to me, and said:

- "Linna, this is my business card, if you really want to travel alone, be careful, this is not Moscow." If you have something going on, you can call me. Even if you're with us, it's a good idea to let your friends and family know and tell them my contact information so they can rest assured. ”

I looked at Peter's business card and admired his cleverness. He asked me to inform my friends and relatives of his contact information, just to tell me that it was safe to be with them, and Peter reminded me that it was necessary that this was not Moscow!

I also have to admit that the folk customs here are very tough! The behavior of that little soldier just now still makes me feel uneasy, and if I really travel alone, it is really hard to predict what will happen!

Anyway, Sanjay was my lifesaver, and I feel that there should be nothing wrong with his character. Peter, in particular, may be due to his profession, or perhaps his gentle, polite and thoughtful words and deeds have impressed me so well, I think Peter is a good policeman who is decent and kind.

I asked myself, if I don't trust even these two individuals, who else can I trust here? Maybe being with them was the right decision.

I texted Ivan and told him that I was with Peter and they were reassuring. Receiving Ivan's reply, I happily said to them:

- "I told my cousin that I had police protection, so he could rest assured!" My cousin said that I was so lucky to have met you here, and that he was worried about my safety, that he was very grateful to Lieutenant Peter, and that if you had the opportunity to go to Manchuria, he would treat you well. ”

- "Lina, you did the right thing, now I think we're really related." Sanjay said happily as he heard me.
