Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Russia has established four warlord regions in Siberia.

    First, Tobolsk.  The jurisdiction is: east of the Ural Mountains, north of Kazakhstan.  3 Second, Tomsk.  The jurisdiction area is: a large area north of Xinjiang, China.  1

    Third, Yeniseysk.  The jurisdiction area is: a large area in the north of Mongolia.  1 Fourth, Yakutsk, the area under its jurisdiction is: the vast area north of Heilongjiang, China.  1

    Yakutsk was abolished from the four major warlord districts, that is, Luzhou under the jurisdiction of Zhang Tingxun.  Gas 8

    In the past few years, Zhang Tingxun has not done nothing except cutting trees, building ships, and farming.  Along the Lujiang River (Lena River) and its tributaries, attacked to the north and northeast, and pulled out Verkhoyansk and other strongholds.  1

    Those strongholds are very fragile. There are fifty or sixty Cossacks in the largest number, only a dozen Cossacks in the small number, and the rest are all natives who surrendered to Tsarist Russia.  Not even a fortress was built, just some wooden walls, barely able to guard against wild animals.

    Take Verkhoyansk, which is already fucking inside the Arctic Circle.  3

    Not to mention the Han immigrants, even the soldiers of the Datong Army were unwilling to stay. Anyway, they took down the Cossack strongholds, destroyed all the buildings and left.  5

    Those Cossacks were cut off, and the snatched furs could not be sold, nor could they receive any supplies.  The houses were destroyed by Zhang Tingxun, and even if there were groups fleeing, the Datong Army didn't bother to chase them down long distances.  Either freeze to death or starve to death, or linger on.  Without gunpowder supplies, their muskets are just fire sticks, and they will be killed by the local natives sooner or later.

    As for the more remote Cossacks, in the absence of supplies, the Chukchi aborigines will teach us how to behave.

    Historically, Tsarist Russia has launched expeditions to the Chukchi people on rare occasions, and few of them ended in victory, until the eve of the Opium War.  The smallest incident was a four-month beating, and Tsarist Russia seized 70,000 reindeer.  2

    However, the Chukchi people also developed and regressed during the war, and learned iron smelting technology and the use of firearms.  The more Qi 4 is played, the more difficult it is to deal with!

    The first is "peaceful coexistence". The Chukchi people are loyal to the Tsar in the name, but they maintain an independent state. They are responsible for corvee and pay taxes. Those who voluntarily pay the fur tax will not be compensated.  1

    Yu Youxue hadn't contacted the Chukchi people yet, and the two sides reached a verbal agreement.

    The content of the covenant is: the Chukchi people obey the Chinese emperor and have independent autonomy, and they will fight against the Cossacks together.  Chukchi¡¯s walrus ivory, walrus skin, antlers, buckskin, mammoth ivory and other commodities, the Xiaotong army regularly rowed boats every year to buy them, and the two sides had an equal and voluntary trade relationship.  8

    The Chukchi people are willing to accept that kind of cooperation, because we also need materials such as ironware, cotton cloth, and salt.

    The reason why they fought with the Cossacks was because these weak thieves were too shameless, they only knew about intimidation and looting, and they were willing to exchange items.  3 In comparison, the Chinese are less generous and generous.

    In the eyes of the Chukchi people, the soldiers of the Xiaotong Army are all very hateful.  What's more, it's a damn thing with a good brain, who actually exchanged a bunch of rare and expensive items with us for souvenirs that can be seen everywhere.  12

    When Hailan was here, the woman became silent.

    Han Chinese merchants are like sharks smelling blood, and they originally traded in the city of Andong Duhufu.  With the opening of post stations along the way, merchants are going north to the north, just to obtain goods at a slower speed, because the more you go south, the more women you compete for.  3

    Today, there are no four trading posts in Hailanpao.

    For the garrison along the Bailong River, half of the food and grass cannot be obtained through commercial transportation.  Merchants transported grain to the north, and returned with goods such as furs and pearls.

    Olyok is responsible for collecting goods in Luzhou. The supply team brings supplies every year and brings them back to Hailanpao.  Those from north of the Lixing'an Mountains soon became part of the trade, and mammoth ivory was very popular among merchants.  1

    Before the cooperation with the Chukchi was reached, walrus ivory and walrus skin became an upstart.

    Everyone has seen those things, because walruses only live in the North Pole.  Merchants know how to set prices, the one with the lowest price in the first year wins, and the seventh year they grab it.  Rare things are more expensive, the price of walrus skin is even comparable to that of sable skin.  5

    Just last year, two pieces of walrus skins were shipped to Nanjing and became the most sought-after items at the auction.

    The transaction price of the first one was 650 taels of silver, and the transaction price of the seventh soared to 980 taels.  To put it bluntly, women are fighting for wealth and fame, and if you are there, you will lose face! 3

    The northern merchants were ecstatic, and those merchants hoarded goods crazily, and then squeezed toothpaste in the southern cities.

    Moreover, it was also agreed in private that the total shipment of walrus skins of each trading company in each small city can exceed seven per year.  As for walrus ivory, it is being hyped wildly, and the price of that thing is estimated to be even more terrifying.  7

    The imperial court is happy to see this, and the northern goods; "Accelerate the landing!" Olek roared.

    The castle is located at the confluence of the Lujiang River (Lena River) and the Barovma River. The Cossacks also saw the Chinese fleet at this time and shouted frantically to retreat to the city for defense.

    Because it was a sudden attack, the gunners in the city were still in place, and some even fell asleep drunk during the day.

    If we have no surplus grain to make wine, but the snow has melted for less than a month, it will be a lot of goat milk wine that was snatched or bought from the hands of the natives.  Except most of them are kept for the winter, I drink my sheep's milk wine openly, for fear that it will be stolen if I drink it too fast.

    When the drunken gunners were in place, the Chinese fleet hadn't landed yet, and only some of the aboriginal auxiliary soldiers on birch bark boats were still within range of the artillery.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The sound of the cannon sounded, and the two birch bark boats were overturned by the waves, and the aboriginal auxiliary soldiers frantically swam toward the shore under the cannonballs.

    Olyok led his army to land from the north of the city, and the wall of Hamuzhai shouted: "The west coast of the city is the cultivated land of the Cossacks and robbers!"

    "It's his reminder!" Yu Youxue said kindly.

    A dozen or so Cossacks are supervising hundreds of slaves farming.  The snow has melted for a period of time, and the surface of the permafrost has also melted away. It is a critical period for planting potatoes and other crops.  Some Cossacks, as well as the native servants, are fishing in the distant river.

    Seeing the Chinese army coming, the Cossacks outside the cultivated land fled frantically, while the native slaves were stunned in place and were at a loss.

    As for the ones under the river, they had already slipped away by rowing.

    Yu Youxue basically managed the enemies in the west of the city, and led the soldiers to attack the city while carrying ladders.

    The rammed-earth castle is very short, and given Siberia's conditions, it is possible to build it as low as possible.  Above the surprise attack, it is said that it can be broken in one fell swoop, otherwise the city can only besieged quickly, and the troops will withdraw when the winter slowly enters the siege.  i6

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    As soon as he got close to the bastion, there was no gunfire, and two soldiers from the same army fell down.

    Fortunately, the enemy was not prepared, some went out to plunder, some went out to farm and fish, and not a few stayed outside the castle.  And beyond the panic, the castle defenders were still fully in place.

    It was a very short-lived fighter opportunity. Before you miss it, this expedition will surely return with success.

    Rushing from the river bank to the bastion, the middle was not blocked by wooden fences and ditches.  At the bastion to the south, the cannons also rang out, and one of the shells killed and wounded two small fellow soldiers and seven native auxiliary soldiers.

    The wooden fence is two-story, and the middle is filled with soil, so it collapses at all.  1

    Olyok climbed over with a ladder, stood under the railing of the wooden shed, and took the ladder ahead to cross the ditch.  Until we rushed to the top of the bastion, the Xiaotong army and the local auxiliary soldiers had suffered heavy casualties.

    Oryoke is completely jealous. I only have dozens of soldiers in total, and I need a supply team to make up a hundred. Every time a soldier dies, my heart bleeds.  5 "Shhhhhh!"

    It was the native servants of the Cossacks shooting arrows, and an arrow hit Olyok in the chest, which was blocked by the cotton armor.

    The Cossacks outside the castle, only two meters away from Olyok, were reloading in a panic at the moment.  Due to the severe shaking of his hands, he stabbed the barrel of the gun several times. Seeing that Olyok hadn't climbed down, he quickly swung his knife and slashed upwards.

    Olyok held down the ladder with one hand, swung the knife with the other hand to slash out, parrying the enemy's weapon, and then slammed down and stomped his mouth.  The bastion outside there is not only luxurious, but also has no fortress roof, which is far from the special city wall.

    "Boom!"

    On the other side of the bastion, there is a society member who actually threw down an enemy of ten thousand people.  5

    Yu Youxue, who had just climbed down the bastion, was about to fight bloody, when he heard a loud noise.  The enemies at the explosion site were all down, only a few stood on Olyok's side.  Fewer and fewer Xiaotong troops and native auxiliary soldiers stepped down from the bastions, and the ensuing battles were almost all hot-armed clashes.

    According to statistics before the war, 100 small fellow troops, 24 were killed, 26 were seriously injured, and 7 were seriously injured.  Of the two hundred native auxiliary soldiers, 35 were killed, 19 were seriously injured, and 13 were seriously injured.  4 The casualty rate is extremely low.

    And our enemies are pitifully numerous.

    Counting the gunners, there were only 45 Cossacks outside the castle, less than half of them had muskets, and there were only 18 real Cossack musketeers.  There are 52 indigenous servants, all of whom use earth bows.

    The rest of the Cossacks and indigenous servants simply returned to the city.

    Olyok was so angry that his lungs exploded. With only 18 Cossack musketeers and a few cannons from Riga, he actually caused more than half of his own casualties.  I am a sudden attack! 2

    That kind of bastion is really disgusting!

    It must be said that the Saha native soldiers who fought with Oryoke are extremely cowardly today.  We were either from the Oryok government, or from the tribe with the best relationship, and we had no deep hatred with the Cossacks, and we were all fearful of death when we fought.

    Look at the corpses of the soldiers under his command, whether Olek has the joy of failure, the casualty rate of the first battle I personally commanded in my life exceeded 50. 3 As for the Saha indigenous soldiers who died in battle, Olek decided to reward his family generously  .

    "Boss, do you still want to hunt down?" the adjutant asked.

    Olek shook his head: "It is necessary. The warship guards the mouth of the river, prohibits any ships from coming and going, and blocks all the Cossacks in the east. I will starve to death if I am hungry!"

    As for the Cossacks in the city, they all fled westward the moment the Xiaotong army captured the bastion.  Hundreds of miles to the west, there is still no Cossack stronghold, so go after it now if you can.

    Olek, with a low level of education, stood on the top of the blood-stained city, looked at the vast forest, and sighed: "One will succeedall bones are dead."?In the first battle of his life under command, the casualty rate exceeded 50. 3 As for the killed Saha indigenous soldiers, Olek decided to reward his family generously.
