In the sixth year of Longwu, Gao Huan sent Hao Yaoqi as his vanguard to defeat the Russian soldiers who were in trouble and approached the city of Yaquesa.

In the entire Heilongjiang River Basin, tribes oppressed by Tsarist Russia went to catch chickens and sheep, and led young and strong tribes to help in the war.

At this time, Tsarist Russia finally realized the power of the army and understood the seriousness of the situation in the Far East.

The Governor of Tsarist Russia's Far East immediately ordered the Tsarist Russian soldiers to retreat to the bastion.

The city of Yaquesa is built on the northern bank of Heilongjiang. It is a Western-style bastion recently built by Tsarist Russia to control the Heilongjiang River Basin.

Because the climate here is more suitable for survival, Tsarist Russia's power in the Far East is ready to use this fort to operate the Northeast region.

Previously, there were only about seven or eight hundred Tsarist Russian soldiers in the castle, and now they have grown to more than two thousand.

These more than 2,000 people were almost invincible in Heilongjiang and the northeast. The Jurchen tribes repeatedly siege, but they all ended in a pale way.

Now that the army has arrived, the Jurchen tribe has a backer and the Jurchen people who insist on resisting Tsarist Russia launched attacks like a long drought and rain, carrying food and wine to welcome the royal army.

At the end of August, Hao Yaoqi and five thousand soldiers arrived at the south bank of Heilongjiang, facing the city of Yaquesa across the river.

The Gan army set up a large camp, and the soldiers and horses shuttled through the camp, and artillery were placed everywhere, which shocked Tsarist Russia.

After getting rid of the rule of the Han Dynasty in the Golden Tent, Tsarist Russia gradually found itself, claiming to be the orthodox Roman, conquering all directions, and began to despise the surrounding nations.

Of course, this is mainly because the decline of nomadism does seem to be behind compared to Tsarist Russia.

Since Tsarist Russia crossed the Ural Mountains, it can be said that it is invincible all the way and has not encountered any decent resistance, which has made them begin to look down on the East.

Just like the Spaniards who once gained maritime hegemony, once said that only two thousand people could conquer Fujian and China, Tsarist Russian officer Poyakov once threatened that as long as he sent 300 troops and built three fortresses, he could conquer Heilongjiang.

Because in their opinion, the Chinese in the Heilongjiang River Basin are quite backward and no different from the savages.

Now Grand Duke Rekov is standing on the city of Yaksa and using a thousand-mile mirror to observe the military camp on the south bank, naturally shocked.

Although he learned from the withdrawn Tsarist Russian soldiers that the Gang Army was powerful, he felt a little unbelievable, thinking that it was just an officer who deliberately exaggerated the Gang Army's strength in order to shirk responsibility.

At this time, I saw with my own eyes that the Gan Army was wearing a unified military uniform, equipped with muskets and artillery, and I thought I had met the elite regiment of the Nordic overlord Gustav.

Grand Duke Rekov put down his thousand-mile mirror and frowned at the military camp on the south bank.

Beside him, Captain Boyakov, the officer who had just withdrawn, suggested: "His grand duke, the Chinese army is coming in full force. Should we temporarily evacuate Yaksa and retreat to Nebchu?"

Rekov shook his head, "Collection of Longjiang is very important to the Empire's interests in the Far East. To the north of Longjiang, the climate is cold and sparsely populated, and the Empire is difficult for it to develop its core towns, so it cannot maintain a strong military force in the Far East. If the Empire colonizes Longjiang, it can establish a powerful governor's area by plundering the properties here, and continue to colonize China to the south."

In the fifth year of Chongzhen in Tsarist Russia, it arrived in the Far East. Now it has been operating for more than 20 years and has just improved. How could it give up the important town of Jaxa?

At this time, Rekov looked at the military camp on the other side and said coldly: "With the Longjiang barrier, the Chinese cannot attack our fortress for the time being. Moreover, winter is coming soon. China will withdraw its troops if it cannot last long. In addition to brave soldiers, our Tsarist Russian Empire also has the weapon of winter. No one can defeat us in winter."

~~~~~~~

On the first day of September, Gao Huan led a large army to meet with Hao Yaoqi's troops on the south bank of Heilongjiang.

At this time, in addition to the Gan Army and the Mongolian Army, the Jurchen tribes gathered to assist in the war, had more than 10,000 people.

It is not difficult to gather in the south bank to fight against Jaquessa, who is stationed in two thousand people.

"Your Majesty, the Tsarist Russians in Yaquesa did not retreat, nor did they show signs of surrender." Hao Yaoqi reported to Gao Huan, who had just arrived at the camp and untied his cloak and sat down.

"So, are they trying to resist to the end?" Gao Huan took a sip of tea and asked casually.

Hao Yaoqi nodded, "Yes, according to my observation, they are strengthening their defense."

Upon hearing this, Gao Huan stood up again and walked out: "Let's take a look!"

At that moment, Gao Huan led the camp to the outside of the camp, rode his horse to the riverside, and looked at the wide river facing the shore, and a fortress standing.

At this time, Gao Huan picked up the Qianli Mile Mile to look at it. There was a Western-style castle opposite, but it looked and sized, which was far from the Jinzhou and Dalinghe castles built by the Qing Dynasty.

Gao Huan looked at it for a while, put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

The gap between the late Ming Dynasty and the West was not as big as that after the Industrial Revolution.

Now, after more than ten years of catching up, China has been leading again in all aspects, or is about to catch up with the West.

Before going north, Gao Huan was still a little afraid of the great power of Tsarist Russia. However, after observing the tsarist Russia's bastion, Gao Huan immediately realized that it was not the era when the great powers could bully China at will.

Gao Huan's feelings for the Tsarist Russia country are relatively complicated, which is related to Gao Huan's memory.

In the late Qing Dynasty, Tsarist Russia bullied China and cut off large tracts of territory, but later became China's big brother and gave some help. After the big brother fell, Russia became a strategic alliance that we cannot lose against the US imperialists.

The relationship and history between the two countries are relatively complicated, but this does not prevent Gao Huan from attacking Tsarist Russia.

The fallen big brother is the good big brother, otherwise he would block our way.

A neighbor who is too strong is not good for the Gan Dynasty. Gao Huan hopes to defeat Tsarist Russia, turn Tsarist Russia into a vassal of the Gan Dynasty, or make Tsarist Russia weak, and needs the support of the Gan Dynasty to maintain its national prosperity.

"Your Majesty! Tsarist Russia now relies on Heilongjiang, but they have few soldiers, so we can cross the river from it!" Hao Yaoqi said.

Gao Huan took over the Qianlijing and shook his head and said, "The army is stationed on the south bank, build cities, strengthen defense, and do not cross the river for the time being!"

Gao Huan had made a plan earlier, which was to threaten Jaxa and attract troops from Tsarist Russia's strongholds in the Far East to aid, and to eliminate Tsarist Russia's Far East main force through a war and avoid protracted wars.

After all, the outer Xing'an territory and other places are vast and sparsely populated, with a severe cold climate, which is not suitable for combat, and it is difficult for military personnel to replenish supplies.

After observing for a while, Gao Huan returned to the camp, anxious for the generals to discuss, began to arrange for the construction of a city, and taught the Jurchen people to open up land and farm.

For some time, Gao Huan led the army and the people to build houses for winter, cut down trees to store firewood, and taught the Jurchen people the experience of advanced construction, farming and animal husbandry in the Central Plains.

The Jurchen tribes that were active in the Heilongjiang River Basin were extremely backward, and their houses were all thatched huts built by birch trees, and their living conditions were extremely difficult.

Under Gao Huan's guidance, the people reclaimed the land, built earthen houses, slept on earthen kangs, and used stoves and iron pots to stir-fry dishes.

Where did the Jurchen people have such a life? Everyone was grateful to Gao Huan and worshipped him like a god.

Gao Huan did everything about Shennong, Youchao, and Suiren, which made the Jurchen people admire Gao Huan very much.
