Chapter 12: Daxia Supervises the Country 8 Yenisei

Many days later, Sun Dewei and others arrived at the city of Krasnoyarsk, the provincial capital of Krasnoyarsk.

To this day, a large number of farmlands have been developed near this city. When Sun Dewei and his friends came out of the Evankey Jungle, a large area of ​​farmland that was about a hundred miles long from north to south and about thirty miles wide from east to west (from the Yenisei River to the Evankey Jungle) appeared neatly in front of them.

This is a great place to grow rye, barley and potatoes. It is a black soil that is almost the same as the Kansk Basin. It has been sleeping in the Siberian jungle for hundreds of thousands of years. It has been developed in small quantities by the Daur people before, but it has only been developed casually. It is thousands of miles away from the current large area and large-scale segmentation, rye, barley, oats and potatoes.

Now is when various crops are growing vigorously, fields of various colors are laid on the east bank of the Yenisei River. If you look down from above, the Yenisei River is purple, the forest is black, and the farmland is colorful, making a rare Siberian scene.

These crops can grow faster, and they must reach the harvest period at the latest in September. Otherwise, heavy snow may come at any time after that. At that time, the earth will only have one color.

A white that makes people feel a little desperate and tired.

From May to August and September, their lives are only four or five months old.

The Kingdom of Daxia had long built a concrete iron bridge on the Yenisei River on the west side of Jiankun City on the surface of the Yenisei River, and considering the possible future railways, it also built two floors of the bridge.

Of course, even if the people of Daxia mastered the steam engine, they could still use the effects of concrete to the best of the moment. There is even a river heart island to rely on, and it took a full five years to build this bridge!

“Woo…”

When Sun Dewei and others arrived at the west side of the Yenisei Bridge, the castle with a strong Russian style across the river was vaguely visible, and a train whistle came from there.

The smell of coal ash they had long been accustomed to was floating in the air, but when they arrived here, they suddenly saw the sound of the train, and they were a little excited after all - Beijing is not open to traffic yet.

According to the plan of the State Council, in the next five years, in addition to repairing the railway connecting Beijing and Chentangcheng (compared with Russia, the order and path of their Siberian railway routes are completely different because they occupy the hinterland of the Central Plains), it is now crucial to connect Beijing and Anxi. At the same time, the railways leading to Beijing in the provinces north of the Yangtze River or directly to Fengzhou (Bayannur) are also underway.

With a large number of people available within the pass, this construction is expected to be completed in the next five years.

"drive!"

Sun Dewei urged his horse to step onto the Yenise Bridge first.

...

"Your Highness"

In Jiankun City, Lin Maochun, the commander and leader of the gray guard, was reporting to Sun Dewei some of his most concerned things.

"Is this a map of the Russians in Siberia? Did our country enter this place before the founding of the People's Republic of China? Almost fifteen years have passed so far. In these fifteen years? We have developed and absorbed no less than a hundred Scepters and informants. At present, at least fifty people are still playing a role..."

"Oh?" Sun Dewei immediately discovered the clue, "Where are fifty people left?"

"Your Highness? Please be careful not to be impatient? I will introduce it here? You see, this is Mount Sazedge, this is the Yenisei River? This is the Tobor River? This is the Black Sea..."

"Black Sea?"

"Ahem? Your Highness, the local natives in this sea area are called Kara Sea? It should be from Turkic? It means black? I am used to it? It is called Black Sea? It will be changed to Kara Sea in the future."

"This place is quite vast, with the lengths of east and west, north and south of the world and north and south. Therefore, although they lost the east and south places under the attack of our country, according to their Dingkou, they are still vast and sparsely populated."

"But in recent years, especially after their Tsar was defeated by His Majesty in Poland, their regulations here have undergone great changes."

"oh?"

"Your Highness, you see, this is the Yenisei River. I don't need to say about this river. This river goes west, from east to west, the Taz River, the Puer River, the Nadum River, the Polui River, the Ob River, and the Ob River. The remaining four rivers all originate from the inland mountains of this land, all flow from south to north, the process is more than a thousand miles, and finally merge into the Kara Sea!"

"Your Highness, the Cossacks were interested in this land in the past, but in the end it was for fur. The lower reaches of these six rivers were large swamps, which were paradises for sables, black foxes, fire foxes, and white foxes. In the past, because the land they had was too vast, they mostly caught and collected fur at the mouth of these big rivers, that is, a range of 100 miles to the Kara Sea."

"Their territory was compressed into the land we just mentioned, especially after the Tsar returned to Moscow, did a big thing."

"Oh?", everyone's eyes widened.

"From the westernmost St. Petersburg to Perm near Mount Sazedge, wherever the city was established by the Tsar, that is, where the title of high-ranking nobles, the Tsar issued a dead order to move 30% of their peasants to Siberia!"

"ah?!"

All of them took a breath, including Mu Ren and Wang Zhi, but Sun Dewei had no expression on his face, "How many people are there?"

"Hehe, Your Highness, this sounds quite scary, but at this time, our country's spies had roughly figured out the population of Russia at this time, at least eight million, at most ten million, of which about 80% were serfs, and that was six million, all under the jurisdiction of landlords with aristocratic status. If it were four people and one household, it would be one million.5 million households, and 30% would be 450,000 households. However, he only asked the landlords above the earl to come out, and in fact, there were only 200,000 households and about 800,000 people who moved here."

"Eighty hundred thousand is not much. According to their regulations, this is the 200,000 infantry army!"

Sun Dewei frowned. He learned from his father that the Russian Empire did not regard serfs as human beings. No matter how old you are, as long as you are fifteen or under sixty, they will be included in the scope of military service. In this way, there are 200,000, including at least half of them. In addition, they are originally elite shooting soldiers, cavalry, and leading these serf soldiers is not a problem.

"Your Highness, they used to set up castles at the mouths of these big rivers, but now they have built castles in the middle and upper reaches. Among them, Taz City is set up in the upper reaches of the Taz River, closest to the Yenisei River. Taz City is quite large, and they not only farm near Taz City..."

"Wait," Sun Dewei interrupted him, "Can you farm at such a high latitude?"

"Your Highness", Lin Maochun smiled, "Karov used to farm in Yakutsk. Speaking of which, the latitudes of these places were higher than Yakutsk, but the temperature was higher than Yakutsk, so there was no problem with farming."

"In addition to farming, the governors of the castles also organized the farmers to hunt in these rivers, and they hunted a large number of animals, fur, and fur, and also trained them to marches and fight."

"In addition, after the Tsar returned to Moscow, he also issued amnesty to the criminals in China, and cast about 20,000 vicious people at one time, all of which were placed in Siberia. At present, these people are all over Siberia. Ahem, of course, it is the Siberia they occupied."

"Of course, in order to deal with our country, they have also implemented preferential treatment to the Evanki people in their territory, which is the reason for the decrease in informants."

"Your Highness, Taz City is only more than 300 miles from the Yenisei River. To the south, very close to Jiankun City, there is also a big river that flows into the Yenisei River from the west, called the Sim River. They built the Simsk City, which is only a hundred miles from the Yenisei River, which is also a big city."

"Taz City, Simsk is directly facing the Yenisei River, and our country has only one battalion of troops on the Yenisei River near Taz City."

"In the south, they had already stationed heavy troops, Asino, Surgut, Toborsk, Tara and Tyumen, who had already stationed heavy troops, also generally increased their troops. Due to the arrival of a large number of farmers, they could support them to survive."

Sun Dewei inserted: "You have said so much, how many troops they have, how distributed they are, and whether they can tell them in detail?"

"Yes, Your Highness, the current military strength of Simsk in Taz City is about 5,000. If it is hidden in the dark, they call it fishermen and hunters, and each place can mobilize another 5,000 troops within one month."

"And in the cities mentioned just now, the troops in each place are about 10,000 on the surface, and in the dark, they are probably about 15,000. However, most of them are infantry and cavalry, which are not many, totaling nearly 100,000. If the serfs are mobilized, there will be 200,000."

"By the way", Lin Maochun pointed up at the wooden pole on the map, "Your Highness, the Russians are very cold-resistant. In addition to these open powers, they can also come from the north sea. We have tried it. The large ships from the sea can directly reach the Yenisei River."

Sun Dewei smiled and said, "I guess this is their killer weapon. He breaks into the Yenisei River from the sea, then hits the Jiankun City directly, and even hits the Angara City directly through the Angara River!"

"After saying so much, what about our army? Do you have a plan?"

Lin Maochun said: "Your Highness, from Surgut, they are all defense areas of Anxi Protectorate, and Asino to Yenisei River are defense areas of the Ministry of Service."

"At present, our army has only one legion near Jiankun City, but in Yenise Province and Angara Province, each has a formal legion. In order to prevent the enemy from suddenly attacking, the legions of these two provinces were originally arranged near Jiankun Province, and they should be able to arrive within five days after receiving the order."

"Three legions are enough to resist the enemy's large-scale attack. Although the enemy can break into many places, they also need food and grass when entering. They probably can only gather nearby. In that way, there will be movement. We will not be completely unaware of it. Your Highness just said that they are very likely to break into the Yenisei River from the sea, haha."

"Even if they can make such arrangements, the journey is too far, and there are primitive jungles along the way, and there is no large amount of supply. Secondly, our army's navy on the Yenisei River was not for nothing."

Sun Dewei nodded, "What else is there to arrange besides these three legions?"

"Your Highness, in Yenise Province, there are about 10,000 tribal cavalry to be mobilized, and in the Kansk Basin, there are five thousand militia to be mobilized. If the troops in Chita Province are added, it will be enough to deal with matters of big or small."

"Then when do you expect the enemy to launch?"

"Your Highness, for this day, we have already stored food that can fight for a year in Jiankun City, Aqin City, and Yenisesk City, and the food and grass are completely safe."

"If the enemy wants to launch, we must be concerned about the more powerful troops in the Anxi Protectorate in the south. Now that the Kazakh Khanate Jianger is dead, his son Touke is only thirteen years old, and he has no prestige to suppress all tribes. Xiao Yuzi surrenders to our country, Zhong Yuzi is independent, and Da Yuzi is eager to try the major chiefs."

"Batur, the great khan of the Junggar Khanate, has been seriously ill recently and is about to go west. According to the Russians' calculations, once Batu is dead, our country will definitely invade Junggar. At the same time, using the Kazakh division to invade Kazakhstan, most of Anxi's troops will be restrained there. At that time, it is the time when they break into the Yenisei River!"

Sun Dewei nodded silently and thought to himself: "This is the reason why I traveled thousands of miles away to come here."
