"Commander, looking at the weather this year, I'm afraid that the inland rivers will be frozen before mid-September. If we want to take the inland rivers for supplies, even with the ice-breaking skills of our Changsheng campers, it will be very difficult. Mainly because of this bad day.

The weather here is really too cold... You can urinate and freeze immediately... It's better in the sea, but in inland rivers, it won't have any effect at all."

"Commander, because of my humble position, if we want to march into the North, I'm afraid we have to go overland. But in this damn weather, we may have to work extremely hard..."

In the official hall, Wang Damao reported his work to Li Yuanqing in detail.

Having taken root in Xihaerwei for almost five years, Wang Damao's originally violent temper has been smoothed out a lot, becoming more calm and less impulsive.

He reported to Li Yuanqing in detail and explained the general environment in the Heilongjiang Estuary Basin, including further north, especially the weather factors at this time.

In this vast northern land, tiny humans are really a bit too humble.

Here, even an army of 100,000 people is still as fragile as ants in front of the ruthless and biting north wind in Siberia.

Especially this year, the weather is getting colder earlier and the snow is coming faster. Wang Damao was one of Li Yuanqing's first batch of old soldiers, and he has a deep understanding of Li Yuanqing's temperament.

This kind of reporting work must be detailed and organized, and no hidden secrets must be hidden.

Because~~, this is related to the life and death of tens of thousands of men.

He must explain the most serious difficulties clearly to Li Yuanqing to avoid Li Yuanqing making mistakes in decision-making.

"Commander, out of humble opinion, if we want to advance from the north, the best way is to gradually build a camp, using strongholds as strongholds, step by step, and push forward solidly. Especially in the coastal areas. Only in this way can we

We can advance and attack, retreat and defend. Even if the situation changes, we can still remain invincible based on the general trend..."

As Wang Damao spoke, he took out a map and explained to Li Yuanqing in detail the advance route that he and the Xihar Guard generals had carefully thought out.

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, but was not in a hurry to express his position.

In fact, as early as when he came to the Northland, Li Yuanqing had already considered the way for the army to march in the Northland, which was to advance from stronghold to stronghold and gradually advance.

This is the safest method and the most practical method.

Because the weather in the North was so bad, even Li Yuanqing's huge fleet did not dare to continue northward after passing the Tartar Strait and Sakhalin Island.

Otherwise, once you encounter a cold storm, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Even in the extremely advanced technological civilization of later generations, many of the highly technological ships of the expedition teams would still malfunction or even sink in the waters here, let alone now.

However, if we advance from strongholds to strongholds, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it will consume too much money and manpower.

In fact, even with Li Yuanqing's wealth and "bucket-like waist", it is a bit unbearable.

However, Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry.

If there were no difficulties, and anyone could do it, then how could the history of China be trampled on by wild boar skins and sink into endless decline?

"How is the investigation of the political situation in Moscow going? Is there any specific news?" Li Yuanqing threw a cigar to Wang Damao, lit it slowly and methodically, and took a slow drag.

Wang Damao also lit a cigar, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "Commander, I really want to report this to you. Commander, you see, this is the material that I compiled overnight."

With that said, Wang Damao respectfully handed a stack of paper to Li Yuanqing's hand, and said: "Commander, the new tsar of Lao Maozi is a new emperor who has just been in office for about seven or eight years. His name is Mikhail~Roman

Nov. It is said that he seems to have been elected through their Russian election..."

When Wang Damao said this, it was a bit unbelievable and he couldn't understand it at all... He really couldn't understand that this emperor could still rely on elections?

"Oh, by the way, Marshal. This Mikhail~Romanov, he is the grand-nephew of the original... wife of Ivan IV. His bloodline seems to be very noble. Marshal, it's written in the materials

Now, I'm really having a headache with the names of these old men."

Wang Damao scratched his head helplessly.

At this time, although he could already recognize hundreds of words, but~, asking him to understand the tedious and complicated names of these old fools, and their extremely long names, was really more difficult than forcing him to take a cold shower in this weather.

It will give him even more headaches.

However, Wang Damao's information is very lively.

At this time, although Moscow's contacts with the Far East and Siberia were sparse, there were still many caravans.

The fur goods here, including some rare herbs, are very popular in Moscow.

There are always some people who will stick their heads in their belts for the sake of profit.

At this time, there were soldiers outside the door reporting, 'Chen Zhong has come to ask for an audience.'

Wang Damao hurriedly looked at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing smiled and kicked Wang Damao on the butt angrily: "How dare you do something so easy for me? Go and say hello to Chen Shuai and clear the camp.

The affairs over there have been sorted out for me. If you dare to make the slightest mistake, I will throw you into the river and clean yourself up."

"Hehe. Marshal, please don't throw your humble position into the river. All the gangsters there are here to see the joke of humble position. Marshal, don't worry, I promise to take good care of the affairs of the camp."

Wang Damao left with a smile.

Not long after, Chen Zhong strode in, couldn't help but sneeze, and spat: "Yuanqing, what the hell is the weather like in this shitty place? What time of year is this! What a thief!"

We’re going to freeze everyone to death!”

Li Yuanqing smiled, looked through the materials to himself, and said with a smile: "Brother, there is hot water in the thermos. You can pour a bowl of hot water yourself to warm yourself up. Hurry up. Come and take a look at these materials. It's very interesting."

"What material is it?"

Chen Zhong glanced at Li Yuanqing, but went to work on the hot water first.

After he drank most of the bowl of hot water, he sat down on the soft couch next to Li Yuanqing and said, "Yuanqing, what materials are you using? To make it so mysterious?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and handed the part he had just read to Chen Zhong, "Brother, this is the current political situation in Moscow. Take a look at it, it's very interesting."

Chen Zhong already knew a lot of words at this time. He could barely... barely be considered a 'primary school graduate'. At least, reading official documents from the imperial court and ordinary letters, including writing letters, was no longer a big problem.

But when he saw the materials Li Yuanqing threw to him, he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy... Isn't this word too much?

However, since this was the political situation in Moscow and their biggest opponent on this trip, even if it was troublesome, he could only bear to watch it.

At this time, unlike later generations, the literati of the Ming Dynasty still retained the ancient style of writing letters. The words were read vertically and there were no punctuation marks, which really wasted a lot of brain cells.

In this regard, Li Yuanqing wanted to make major improvements, but unfortunately... At this time, he still had too little say, especially when facing the fundamentals of the literati class. Even if it could promote social progress, it was not wise.

Li Yuanqing had no choice but to stand still for the time being.

However, at this time, Li Yuanqing had basically adapted to this vertical rhythm.

Chen Zhong was fascinated, and Li Yuanqing also devoted himself to these materials.

At this time, the famous Rurik dynasty, which had lasted for nearly a thousand years in Russia, slowly came to an end because the last tsar, Feodor Ivanovich, had no heirs left and became extinct.

After that, after more than ten years of continuous turmoil, in 161, the forty-first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, a group of tycoons of Moscow origin held a joint meeting and elected a great tycoon of Russian origin, Mikhail Romanov

, became the new tsar.

Here, an explanation must be made first.

The core of the Rurik dynasty is in Kiev.

Later, with the famous "Ivan the Terrible", Ivan IV, the Grand Duke of Moscow, was crowned the first Tsar.

Moscow's status gradually overtook Kiev and became the new core. The tsarist system, which lasted for hundreds of years and directly or indirectly changed the world, officially began here.

Speaking of the Tsar, we cannot fail to mention the great Ivan IV.

The word 'great' used on him is by no means an exaggeration, it even adds luster to the word itself!

Ivan IV was a complete war madman and the originator of the "Snake-eating" prelude to Tsarist Russia.

He led his cavalry, the legendary "special army", to first destroy the powerful Kazan Khanate, and then to destroy the Astrakhan Khanate, and then annexed the Great Nogai Khanate, Bashki Khanate

Erya almost wiped out the entire Caucasus region.

Not even the distant Siberian Khanate escaped his clutches.

After twenty years of arduous tug-of-war, when Kuchum Khan fled to the steppes and subsequently died, the Tatars, who had lived in the vast land of Siberia for thousands of years, completely lost power.

At this point, the legendary Golden Horde of the Golden Family and the four splintered khanates all fell under the claws of Tsarist Russia.

At this time, the tentacles of Tsarist Russia had extended to the Yenisei River Basin and had accumulated several strongholds.

Ivan IV can be said to be a war genius.

Let’s not talk about how he exerted great power in the Caucasus region. His devouring of remote and barbaric Siberia is simply a textbook method.

He first asked the 'neighbors' of the Siberian Khanate, the Stroganov family, to test the status of the Siberian Khanate, and allowed the Stroganov family to recruit troops and build strongholds.

Then, the Stroganov family was further granted the right to attack the Siberian Khanate.

At this time, Tsarist Russia still had a strong serfdom structure.

To put it bluntly, they are nomadic large landowners, just like the Mongolians and Tatars who live in tribal communities.

There are benefits, it can rob territory, slaves, women, and property. Only a fool would not do it.

The Stroganov family soon became the vanguard of Ivan IV, charging on the front line.

But the Siberian Khanate, these Mongolian descendants, and the Tatars are not weak in fighting strength, especially since they live in such an extreme environment all year round. Every man is a born warrior.
