Chapter 2662

Kurgan.

It only took the Chukchi people just one month to reach Kurgan from the small village of Dukuba.

Just like Zhai Shiqing said, they are already like a prairie fire and cannot be resisted.

The Cossack cavalry, which has ruled Siberia for more than a hundred years, is fighting less and less, but the Chukotka are fighting more and more. This phenomenon is disappointing and makes the Cossacks desperate.

For the past month, Narisong was so excited that she couldn't sleep.

When had the Chukchi people ever been so arrogant, so happy, and so majestic?

Yes, they used to be so powerful that they often pushed the Cossack cavalry to the ground and rubbed them, but after all these years, they were still in a position of being passively beaten.

This time, it's different, they can feel proud!

Siberia was gradually controlled by the Chukchi people.

Kurgan.

This is the largest administrative center in Siberia. Here is a detailed introduction to the situation in Siberia during this period. Before Tsarist Russia conquered Siberia, the layout of Siberia was a castle layout. This era is called the Siberian Castle Age. What does the Castle Age mean?

What? That is, starting from the ninth century AD, those local and regional strongmen began to occupy various regions in Europe in the form of castles. The design and construction of these early castles were all biased towards one word, that

It's big. It's big and simple, and the building materials have slowly evolved from wooden to stone buildings.

These lords were nominally subordinate to a certain emperor or a certain kingdom, but in fact they acted independently. This powerful castle represented their ambitions. The castle turned a place into an independent small kingdom. On the one hand, confrontation

The barbarians, on the other hand, actually strengthened their local control and defended themselves against the royal power.

This is a common phenomenon in Europe, especially in plains and ice fields like Siberia. They have no natural strategic defensive terrain, and at that time, they lacked a strong central government similar to the Chinese civilization.

Those in power used castles to strengthen local control and defend against foreign enemies.

But obviously, the original intention of the castle was for peace, but in the end, it evolved into a tool of war, making wars more frequent.

This was the case in the Siberian region during the castle era, with frequent wars and suffering for the people.

But when Tsarist Russia began to expand and gradually took control of Siberia, the era of Siberian castles officially ended. Therefore, the castles and their military facilities decayed and damaged due to long-term disuse. The real reason was that the taxpayers had been conquered. Due to economic problems

After the development, the nature of those castles that previously existed for politics and military began to change, and gradually became the political and economic center of feudal society.

Siberia had a glorious period during that period.

After Tsarist Russia invaded Siberia, due to the shortage of various daily necessities and production tools, a large number of Tsarist Russian merchants began to pour into Siberia to make huge profits. In order to alleviate the tight supply of goods, Tsarist Russia allowed Tsarist Russians to

Europeans and Central Asians came to Siberia for duty-free trade.

However, with the development of social economy, local merchants in Siberia also began to develop and unite to squeeze out foreign merchants. This continued to develop, and by the end of the 17th century, the trade of local goods in Siberia was basically concentrated in Siberia.

In the hands of local businessmen.

As the number of Tsarist Russian residents in Siberia increased exponentially, the demand for handicraft products increased exponentially. At the same time, the development of fishing, hunting, and agriculture stimulated the take-off of Siberia's handicraft industry. Therefore, Siberia during this period was not as good as we imagined.

Generally backward.

Therefore, even Zhai Shiqing found it incredible that Kurgan could be captured in such a short period of time, let alone that day.

really.

Although this Cossack cavalry is powerful, as long as it is defeated once, it will be defeated infinitely.

Kurgan was not only a military stronghold in Siberia at this time, but also an administrative and economic center.

But it is precisely because of this that the merchants guarding Kurgan opened the city gates to greet Chukotka's almost invincible army without any resistance at all. Because these merchants are profit-seeking, they

Their first wish is to not want this city to be affected by the war. Therefore, it makes no difference to them who is the master of this city. As long as the social order is still stable and intact, they don't mind.

, bowing to these Chukchi people. Besides, no matter how bad they are, can they still be worse than those Cossack bandits?

So they raised the flag of surrender early.
