From these three wars, Gao Huan gained experience that Tsarist Russia is difficult to fight and can endure. Even the overlord at that time was difficult to defeat Tsarist Russia. Secondly, even if it defeated Tsarist Russia in local wars, Tsarist Russia might not necessarily surrender.

The vast territory makes it difficult for Tsarist Russia to be fully occupied, and it can withstand it, and the harsh winter makes Tsarist Russia an invincible opponent.

Of course, in history, no one defeated Tsarist Russia, that is, the Mongols who came from the East swept across the Eurasian continent.

This time, Gao Huan attacked Yaxa, attacked Tsarist Russia's power in the Far East, and regained territory since ancient times, which was only one of the purposes.

Gao Huan also has another purpose, which is to experience the winter battles and see if the Gan Army can adapt, so as not to fail like Napoleon and his beard.

Therefore, the war that could have ended in autumn was deliberately delayed until winter by Gao Huan.

Of course, Gao Huan was not idle during this period.

With his help, Ganchao officials conducted a census on various tribes in the Northeast and established a household registration system.

This is very important. With this information, Ganchao can control the tribes in the Northeast and collect taxes and military sources.

Of course, Gao Huan not only established control over the tribes, but also brought earthen kangs, iron pots, stoves, and wooden houses to compatriots in the Northeast, allowing the tribes to end their savage-like lives.

While Gao Huan was standing on the city and thinking about his strategy to deal with Tsarist Russia, the Tsarist Russian defenders in the Jaxa Fort opposite were about to go crazy.

Korev, the governor of Tsarist Russia's Far East, was almost driven crazy by Gao Huan.

Faced with Gao Huan's attack, Korev thought of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, relying on the Heilongjiang barrier and the strong city of Yaquesa to defend, killing the enemy in large quantities, and waiting for the Chinese to run out of food, they naturally retreated.

However, after Gao Huan's army arrived, it has been stationed on the other side and has not launched an attack.

This made Korev's idea fail. Not only that, Gao Huan also acted like he would not leave for a long time, building a city on the other side of the river, building wooden houses, and reclaiming land.

This made Rekov anxious and quickly sent an envoy to ask what Gao Huan wanted.

Rekov pointed out that the Tsarist Russian Empire arrived at the Heilongjiang River Basin first, adhering to international practices, the principle that whoever discovers first among civilized countries belongs to whom. Rekov said that the Tsarist Russian army discovered the first in the Heilongjiang River Basin. The Gan army is now invading Tsarist Russian territory and must evacuate immediately.

Gao Huan condemned Tsarist Russia for not treating the ethnic minorities in the Heilongjiang River Basin as humans and directly ignored them. At the same time, he informed Tsarist Russian envoys that before they arrived in the Heilongjiang River Basin, the place had been discovered by China and established rule.

In addition, Gao Huan also pointed out that not only the Heilongjiang River Basin, but also the North Sea, Lake Baikal, and Siberia have been China's territory since ancient times.

This made Rekov furious, thinking that the Chinese people are so shameless.

Rekov wrote another letter to question, hoping that Gao Huan could provide evidence.

He thought Gao Huan was talking nonsense, but who knew that Gao Huan had prepared some things, including documents from the Liao and Jin countries, as well as maps of the Yuan Dynasty. The entire Siberia on it belonged to the Lingbei Province.

This made Rekov stunned. What did you do in the Yuan Dynasty? If you continue to say this, wouldn’t the Tsarist Russian Empire have become a vassal of China?

Seeing that Gao Huan could not say anything, Rekov stopped talking, but Gao Huan gave him an ultimatum, hoping that Tsarist Russia could withdraw from the Heilongjiang River basin, evacuate Siberia, and return the Lingbei province to China. Otherwise, once Heilongjiang freezes, the Ganchao army would cross the river and capture Yaxa.

At this time, Grand Duke Rekov stood on the castle of Yaksa and watched the heavy snow fall.

"Governor General, if this continues, Longjiang will soon freeze!" Captain Pushkin said worriedly.
