“First of all, it is a big city with different styles, similar in scale to Krasnodar, with a circumference of about four miles and a tall and thick exterior wall, but it does not use neat stones like Krasnodar, but is uneven

stones”

(One Russia and Rio are one kilometer)

"The gray-brown soil is connected to the colorful and mottled stones. I felt suspicious. According to common sense, even the most sticky soil cannot keep these stones in place."

"I looked at the contemptuous gaze of the soldiers guarding the city and touched the soil. God, although the surface is rough, it is obviously very hard, just like it solidifies into stone or metal"

"This is the cement introduced by Suvorov. They also wanted to get this thing, but they were naturally rejected by the Truchens"

"The city wall is about three meter high, with a marble, about one meter and a half wide, with burnt floor tiles on it"

(One Russian is about 200 cm)

"The accompanying people said that there was rammed earth in the middle. They first dried the clay, then ground it, then filled it into it, and finally tamped it with a stone mill. I immediately wanted to calculate the strength of this wall, but unfortunately I couldn't test it on the spot."

"There are four city gates, each city gate has a city gate tower. The city gate tower is made of fire bricks, and the cement is naturally used in the bonding area."

"The buildings in the city are also very different from those in Europe. They are all brown bricks and green tiles, with courtyards in the middle and two main streets facing the city gate. They divide the city into four parts, and there are two streets in the middle of each part.

It is divided into four parts”

"There are several tall buildings in the city. To the north is a tall tower, which is said to be the owner of this place. All the main temples of the Changchun religion were founded by the Khalmy Khan, and to the south is a full of Karme.

The Lamas in the Grassland summoned the temple”

“To the east is a temple used by the Islamic people, and there are two minarets slightly lower than the Changchun religion tower”

"There is a Christian church to the west. I heard that there are many Nestorians here. Oh my God, this is a gathering place for pagans!"

"There is a large courtyard in the middle of the four temples, with a large number of houses connected by a courtyard in the middle, and the house in the middle has three floors"

"It is said that there were strange noises in the city not long ago, but I didn't hear them today, so it must have been hidden."

"The one who accompanied me is Su Wenyu, a typical oriental name. It is said that he is the descendant of the opera actors who stayed in the tribe before and are proficient in Russian"

"According to his introduction, the city is in the upper wind area in the northwest, it is a business, residence, the northeast, and the southeast are in the lower wind area, it is the workshop. There is such a huge workshop in this city. I heard the sound of a blacksmith, dingdang

It's coming one after another"

"The southwest is a military camp. Of course, he obviously concealed it intentionally. The two streets are connected to the four gates, but about ten feet away from the gate is another gate. This enclosed space is about three wide.

"

"There are closed buildings on both sides, obviously military camps, and the same courtyard structure, with a playground in the middle"

"There are not too many people on the street, but the coming and going have never been cut off. Horses, camels, mules, carriages, and pedestrians appear from time to time"

"Their carriage wheels were obviously made of a material that was very different from Europe. The street must have been covered with cement. The carriage did not make much noise when it walked on it. There were two horses who were pulled by manned carriages, with only the whole body of which was closed.

The upwardly raised glass window is open”

"The heavy carriage uses four horses. Oh my God, I don't smell the unpleasant odor of Moscow and St. Petersburg. According to Su Wenyu, there are sewers in the city, and sewage discharge is handled uniformly by the city. Violators will be punished by violators.

With a heavy payment”

"All horses have a cloth bag at their tails, which obviously catch the feces that these beasts will appear at any time. This is simply a genius invention, compared to the smelly Moscow, St. Petersburg, Marburg, Freiburg, etc.

Much stronger”

(Lomonosov once studied in Marburg, Freiburg, Germany)

"I fell into the city wall reluctantly and sat on a high-end carriage specially prepared for me. The carriage only had a row of seats, with thick camel velvet on it, and a piece of glass was inlaid on the back of the carriage"

"The left, right, front is covered with a velvet cloth that seems to be painted with waterproof paint. It can be put down when there is rain and snow, and it is usually rolled up. In order to enjoy the scenery on both sides, I was shameless and ignored the fact that it is still winter and asked someone to roll all the velvet cloth.

Get up”

"The velvet cloth seems to use a pulley structure, and it can be pulled up with a small rope"

"The carriage continues to move forward, and the scenery on both sides of the street is similar. The commercial area near the city gate I entered is the same. The shops on both sides are lined up one after another, all of which are holes in the front courtyard wall, and then wooden boards are inserted when closing the store."

"The larger shops have wooden doors that can be directly entered, including those who sell grain, cloth, ready-made clothes, shoes and socks, groceries, and shops that specialize in weapons. Knives, bows, arrows, and muskets hanging on the walls are all

You can see it"

"There are several hotels in the middle, restaurants below, dormitories above, and two more upscale taverns near the middle of the city, which consists of four temples from different religions."

"I haven't seen brothels everywhere in Russia and Germany. It seems that the religious atmosphere here is very strong, and maybe there are a lot of private prostitutes hiding in a corner"

"I finally arrived at the building that is said to be the official residence of Qitad. The wall is still similar to the city wall, but it is only two feet tall. It is close to a gate painted with red paint, and there are two stone lions on both sides.

Two red lanterns hung under the gatehouse”

"The carriage can't be driven in here, and I walked into the gate accompanied by Su Wenyu"

"There is a courtyard facing you, surrounded by houses, and there is another gate in the middle of the opposite side, but there is no gatehouse. After passing this gate, there are more people. According to Su Wenyu's introduction, this is the office of the Zaisang of Truqin Khanate.

Place"

"After passing another gate, there are several flower beds in the courtyard inside, and there are also pine, oak, beech, etc., and there is a person standing in front of a house"

"I am about twenty years old, and I have short hair unique to the Truqin area, with a white complexion, which is different from the usual yellow color of the Truqin people. I have handsome eyebrows and eyes, but sharp eyes, and I wear a gray-brown short suit unique to the Truqin people.

A mink coat was worn outside”

"I am Qitade"

"He spoke fluent but authentic Russian, it's hard to imagine that he had only been in Astrakhan for four years!"

"He walked into the room first, and there was an iron stove, with iron pipes connecting the inside and outside, and a kettle was placed on the stove, and a kang in the room, and a square table with very exquisite carvings were placed near the stove, with a pile of sculpted on it

All kinds of books are full of”

"They also use quills, and there is an ink bottle next to them"

He sat upright on a large chair with a fur-covered back, and there were two shorter chairs with fur-covered ones across the square table.

"We're here to talk"

"He pointed to the other side of the kang, where there was a sofa and a coffee table. After personally soaking coffee with linden honey and fresh milk for us, the room suddenly smelled fragrant"

"Next I couldn't wait to ask about the contents of the book. He didn't look angry when he saw this book, and he patiently explained the contents of the book to me."

"I have studied physics, chemistry, mineralogy and metallurgy in all aspects. As soon as I heard his explanation, I knew there were many loopholes and I was not interested in continuing to listen."

"Another inquiry, it turned out that a Dutch missionary had come here and gave him a Mongolian name. His knowledge was obviously learned from this missionary."

"If this is the case, this person is obviously a genius. He actually invented the flintlock fire guns, cement and other things from these obviously wrong knowledge. I see that his hands are calluses, and most of them are diligent and like to do it themselves.

people”

"Under massive experiments, even wrong knowledge will be discovered. God forgive me, I have not corrected the mistakes in knowledge. After all, I am a Russian and I love my tsar and kingdom deeply."

"He showed me the legendary short gun, which turned out to be an improved version of a mother-and-child gun. It used the rear-mounting technology. After firing a bullet, it can be quickly removed and installed with another one, avoiding it.

The inconvenience of loading on a war horse”

"It's better not to have such a thing. They are all cavalrymen. The hedge between the two sides was in a flash. That is, they met the Kazakhs who had not seen the short gun, which made them frightened in an instant. If they met the Cossacks, they would definitely not be so effective."

"I wanted to find out the origin of the cement, but he naturally refused without hesitation. He said that this was a secret technique from the East and was an important secret. I had to give up. It seems that after I go back, I will encourage students from the Academy of Sciences to do more.

Some experiments”

"I couldn't help but feel a little excited when I didn't hear what I expected. I didn't even want to go to the school and left Stavropol that day"

"With Russia's strength, it's only a matter of time before this place becomes her land"

"After returning to Krasnodar, I explained the situation here to Suvorov, who is an extremely smart student who is very good at physics, mathematics, and civil engineering.

Attainments, I feel relieved after listening to my words”

"In the end, we discussed why the Truchens developed into such a powerful force in a short period of time, and finally came to an unanimous conclusion"

"That is, the combination of mysterious religions from the East and the powerful cavalry of nomadic tribes, and the large number of craftsmen obtained from the Shiva Khanate"

"Thinking about the beginning, the Russians were also regarded as barbarians in the jungle by Western Europeans. Fortunately, Peter the Great went to the Netherlands and Britain to check it out. After a while, he developed a new national policy and thus had a powerful empire today."

"The Truchens want to use the poor knowledge of the missionaries and the limited experience of the Shiva craftsmen to be king. Let's dream."
