"Oh, Yuan Qing, this... this is really a headache...the names of these old guys are longer than ghosts. How can people play with this?"

After a long while, Chen Zhong finally couldn't help it any longer. He couldn't help but threw the material on the table beside him, his face was heavy, and he rubbed his eyes hard.

At this time, Li Yuanqing had already found the doorway and was connected with some remaining memories from later generations.

Throwing a cigar to Chen Zhong, Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "Brother, this thing is a bit complicated. But if you calm down and look carefully, it's very interesting."

Seeing that Chen Zhong was still unhappy, Li Yuanqing smiled and took a piece of fire from the brazier nearby, helped Chen Zhong light his cigar, then lit his own, and said with a smile: "Brother, let's watch for another hour. I'll treat you to noon.

Eat roast lamb.”

Chen Zhong also knew that Li Yuanqing was afraid that he had found the clue and did not dare to lose his temper again. He had to endure it and continue to study it carefully.

He always wanted to get a little familiar with these names. After all, they were all their opponents and their biggest enemies.

He always had to have an idea in his mind first, so that when Li Yuanqing explained it later, he wouldn't be too caught up.

Seeing that Chen Zhong was quiet, Li Yuanqing continued to calm down and carefully sorted and analyzed these materials.

In later generations, due to various reasons, most people have more or less understanding of the history of polar bears after the 'February Revolution' or the 'October Revolution'.

But before that, there was the Romanov dynasty, including the earlier Rurik dynasty.

I'm afraid that even those who are proficient in it can only name Ivan IV, the later famous 'Peter the Great', the coquettish Empress Catherine, just a few of them.

In fact, the relationship between them is so close that it can almost be said that they are of the same blood.

It's just that, perhaps because of the 'natural cycle and karma', the great Ivan IV, although talented and domineering, unfortunately, his son, the second tsar of the Rurik dynasty, Feodor~Ivan

Vanovich had no heirs left.

Around the 16th century or the late 1990s, the Rurik dynasty came to an end because there was no blood heir.

As explained before, the core of the Rurik Dynasty was in the Kiev region of later Ukraine.

As for Ivan IV, he rose from the position of Grand Duke of Moscow and defeated the powerful Kingdom of Sweden at the time, leveling the Caucasus region, thus crowning him a new title, 'Tsar'.

After the death of Fyodor Ivanovich, Kiev has always wanted to regain the position in the central area, and even used the method of pretending to be a blood heir several times.

But at this time, new powerful serf landowners with Muscovites as the core had emerged. Of course, they would not allow such a thing to happen. Several large-scale bloody conflicts occurred between the two sides.

It was obvious that the conservative and old Kievan Rus was no match for the emerging war-mad serf owners of Muscovite origin, and was completely defeated.

In 161, the forty-first year of Wanli, the great serf owners of Muscovite origin held a joint meeting and decided to elect a new tsar, determine the core position of Muscovite origin, and ensure a new tsar who conforms to the interests of the great serf owners of Muscovite origin.

Be their nominal leader!

This is also the biggest difference between Russia's feudal serfdom and China's feudal system that has been circulating for thousands of years.

After all, Russia's feudal serfdom still has a strong nomadic flavor, just like the nomadic tribal system.

These large feudal serfs had territory, an army, a population, and property. They were nominally subordinate to the dynasty, but in fact, they were independent of the dynasty.

It is somewhat similar to the Western Han Dynasty under the feudal system during the period of the great ancestor Liu Bang.

Even the Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty at this time.

When we go on an expedition, we all send troops together. When we win a battle, we all benefit from it, sharing the property and the women.

Especially during the reign of Ivan IV, he adopted the so-called "special rule" to further strengthen centralization and drive a large number of powerful nobles away from the core of Moscow.

But even Ivan IV did not dare to kill them.

It is completely incomparable with China's centralized system.

After the bloodline of Ivan IV became extinct, these big serf owners who had been driven out of the core of power were eager to return. At the same time, the new big serf owners of Muscovite origin, who had been in chaos for more than ten years, also realized that with the help of

Their power is far from being able to control everything independently.

With the balance of interests of all parties, this joint meeting was achieved.

At this time, the newly elected new tsar of the Romanov dynasty, Mikhail Romanov, although not a direct bloodline of Ivan IV, can be said to be an indirect bloodline of Ivan IV.

He is the queen of Ivan IV and the great-nephew of Anastasia Romanovna.

Moreover, Mikhail's father is Archbishop Fedor Romanov of the Russian Orthodox Church.

In this era, the status of religious belief is still quite high.

In particular, Fedor Romanov can be called a national hero of Muscovite origin.

In the chaos after the death of Ivan IV, the Polish dynasty once captured Moscow, arrested Fedor Romanov, and appointed him Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, hoping that he would serve Poland.

But Fedor Romanov refused to obey and was imprisoned by the Poles for more than ten years. He refused to give up an inch of ground in the interests of the nation.

This has also allowed the Romanov family to win huge popularity among the people and is deeply loved by all people of Muscovite origin.

Coupled with various inheritances, Mikhail Romanov, a somewhat ignorant seventeen-year-old boy, was forced to take the throne of the Tsar.

But the actual power was still in the hands of the great nobles at this time.

At this time, Russia was far from being as powerful and prosperous as it would be in the future. Although the previous Ivan IV had established the overall framework of Russia, it was not completely stable. Their enemies were still powerful.

There is the powerful Kingdom of Sweden to the north, and the violent and fierce Kingdom of Poland to the west. Especially the King of Poland, Sigmund III, has never given up his coveting of Moscow for a moment.

In the south, the Crimean Khanate, descendants of the Golden Family, and the Tatar cavalry are still strong.

There were also the Cossacks wandering around the Ukrainian steppes, who never really gave up for a moment.

In the first few years after Mikhail came to power, the situation in Russia as a whole was quite passive, suffering from internal and external troubles.

But with the death of King Sigmund III of Poland, Mikhail's father, Fedor Romanov, returned to Moscow and became the 'Overlord', gradually assuming real power in Russia, and everything began to change.

At this time, Li Yuanqing and his sons will face none other than the Supreme Emperor, the Archbishop.

Seeing this, Li Yuanqing felt a little mixed in his heart.

Mikhail is not made to be an emperor at all.

But just because of his noble blood, this 'big pie' hit him hard on the head.

However, although Mikhail seems useless, Li Yuanqing will not underestimate him because of this.

This guy is quite... quite clever in terms of tactics.

If the nobles wanted rights, he would give them to them; if his mother wanted rights, he would give them rights; if his father wanted rights, he would give them to them.

This may seem extremely foolish, but in reality, it ensures his safety to the greatest extent.

After all, apart from his noble bloodline and his family's reputation among the people, he still has nothing compared to the great nobles.

These materials were all improvised by Wang Damao and others. They are relatively simple for some things that are familiar and would not violate taboos, but for the situation in Moscow at this time, including the specific war situation, these materials are obviously not feasible.

Although Li Yuanqing was a little anxious at this time, he didn't have any good ideas.

The key is that in his remaining memory, he doesn't know much about this period of Russian history.

However, based on comprehensive materials and analysis of the materials, Li Yuanqing can basically confirm that the Romanov family's Moscow Group~ definitely has no time to visit at this time.

No matter the Swedes, Poles, Cossacks, or the Tatars of the Crimean Khanate, no one is an easy opponent to provoke.

At this time, although Mikhail was in decline, his descendants...especially Peter the Great, who was more than two meters tall...were really feared.

Li Yuanqing vaguely remembers that when Russia really reached its peak and began to look eastward to find an outlet to the sea, it should be the period of Peter the Great and later Catherine the Great.

If it corresponds to the trajectory of Chinese history, it should probably be after the slave chief Kang Xiaoma ascended the throne, but the specific time cannot be determined by Li Yuanqing.

What Li Yuanqing remembers the most is that in the classic work "The Deer and the Cauldron" by later generations of Jin Daxia, Wei Xiaobao once visited Moscow for a while.

This is very late in the plot.

Kang Xiaoma and Wei Xiaobao are both adults.

According to Jin Daxia's writing power and rigor, the plot may be fictitious, but in terms of time, there shouldn't be too many errors.

Based on this, it can be inferred that it would be a few decades later that polar bears really started to visit the east.

However, at this time, their stronghold has advanced to the line of the Yenisei River. This is obviously not a good sign!

Seeing that Li Yuanqing finally put down the materials, Chen Zhong was also relieved and hurriedly came closer: "Yuan Qing, how are you? Did you gain anything?"

Li Yuanqing smiled: "It's okay, brother. Although the situation is a bit grim, overall, it's still relatively optimistic. We have a great chance!"

Chen Zhong immediately felt relieved and laughed: "Yuan Qing, I know you are just a bastard. What's the big deal? Yuan Qing, my brother is almost starving. Let's go eat first."

.”

…………

After having lunch with Chen Zhong, Chen Zhong went to inspect the camp, while Li Yuanqing took a simple map of Siberia and thought about it carefully.

The reason why Yermak was able to directly capture Kashlyk, the capital of the Siberian Khanate, in less than a year.

On the one hand, Yermak is a prisoner with a severe sentence and must fight to the death to wash away the shame on him.

On the other hand, I am afraid it is still an internal dispute within the Siberian Khanate.

By this time, Li Yuanqing had already had a very thorough understanding of the tribal government of this nomadic people.

Tribal government has great advantages. When the king is strong, they are the best hunting dogs and can exert the greatest effect.

But~, once the king declines, the shortcomings are also obvious...

At this time~~, the Siberian Khanate no longer exists. Although there are still many Tatar tribes living in this area, in fact, the vast and vast Siberian area has become a de facto

Borderlands'.

What Li Yuanqing needs to do at this time is to finalize the most critical nodes before all the dust falls!
