After a beating, Dmitry and some Cossacks who took the lead in calling Chen Xiaode a robber were lying on the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face, gasping for breath.

"We are already very kind, okay? If it were Genghis Khan who had conquered the world in the past, if you dare to resist like this, you will end up being a massacre of the city. We just snatched away your ill-gotten wealth and did not mean to harm you. In our east, this is called robbing the rich and helping the poor, yes, that's right." Chen Xiaode put away his swollen fist. The effect of force was mutual. It hurts him to go into battle himself.

"Strong...robber..." Dmitry gasped unwillingly.

"Chen Xiaode, don't compete with them, and you are not afraid of breaking your waist? Let's think about how to deal with them." He Yi said slowly after Chen Xiaode beat up the Cossack prisoners.

Anyway, Chen Xiaode was a literati and usually held civil servants. After joining the Restoration Army, he also received some physical training. However, his physical fitness is definitely not as good as soldiers and these Cossacks, so He Yi was not afraid that Chen Xiaode would kill people. As long as he didn't die, it was easy to say.

"It's really tiring to hit people." Chen Xiaode twisted his neck, "We have two hundred more mouths at once, and we have to be on guard against them. The pressure is not too great. Not only do we leave a small number of prisoners to lead us, we can march to the west and attack along their traffic lines. Others are escorted back to the rear to demonstrate the results of our pioneering regiment, so that other troops can honestly say that our pioneering regiment has no results that can be achieved."

"This idea is good. But I was thinking that there have been Russian adventure teams in the middle and west, which are more like powerful areas with mixed Russians and local indigenous peoples. Through these maps, we have basically figured out the situation there and basically achieved this year's goal. Otherwise, we will camp here, complete the castle built by the Cossacks, and strive to make this place an important stronghold in the western part of the Siberian Plain, so that we can march to the West in the future?" He Yi said.

"We just happened to have these two hundred Cossack prisoners, and asked them to help us build castles... Yes, yes, we enslave them build castles like they enslave local natives. As long as there is a place to stay before winter comes, when the ice and snow melt next year, we can use this place as a stronghold and march towards the central part." Chen Xiaode slapped his head and agreed with He Yi's view.

He Yi and Chen Xiaode looked at each other and smiled. This time they made a fortune. Not only were they priceless furs, but also maps of western and central Siberia, but also 200 prisoners and castles that had just begun to form, which saved them a lot of time.

So the Cossack adventure team, who was still high on the ground seven days ago, became the target of enslavement of the pioneer group. Their whip fell into the hands of the members of the pioneer group and became a tool to supervise their construction of the castle.

"Don't be lazy, if you don't work hard, you will have no food to eat!" Chen Xiaode waved his whip and hit the air, making a slap sound.

This feeling of acting as a robber actually made him feel inexplicably happy. He ignored these Cossack prisoners and could not understand what he said, as if they knew the whip anyway.

"The deputy leader is addicted to being a robber..." The other members of the pioneering group couldn't help but smile when they saw their deputy leader happy.

Dmitry dragged a piece of stone and piled up stones with his companions under the surveillance of Chen Xiaode. The pioneering regiment ordered them to build the city wall they were originally going to build. This time Dmitry understood that this army from the mysterious East was not the guards of the great Eastern Emperor at all, but an adventure team that was doing the same thing as them. Otherwise, why did the actions of these Eastern people be almost the same as their Cossacks.

However, he could only accept his fate. In front of muskets and whips, they were unable to resist the enslavement of these Eastern people without weapons.

When it was time to rest, Dmitry lay weakly on the ground. He said to the Cossacks beside him: "We have been deceived. They are not the guards of the great Eastern Emperor, and the Eastern Emperor has no million troops. They are just a group of Eastern robbers wandering in Siberia."

"But the commander, their muskets are more refined and powerful than us, which shows that the East is much stronger than us." A surviving Cossack said with lingering fear, "A distance of two hundred meters can easily kill people."

"Yes..." Dmitry had to admit this fact, "The mysterious Eastern Kingdom has such advanced muskets, which is worthy of being the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom. From the stories about the East that we heard from the nobles and bards, we only know that the rich Eastern Kingdom has endless gold, silver, treasures, tea and porcelain, but no one has ever heard of them having such powerful force."

"Maybe the despicable nobles deliberately ignored the force of the Eastern Empire. They did not dare to provoke the Eastern Empire, so they wanted to let us come to the East as cannon fodder." A Cossack suspected the "evil intentions" of the Tsarist Russian nobles.

"I don't know how these Eastern robbers will deal with us. Maybe we will have the opportunity to be sent to the Eastern Kingdoms like Marco Polo three hundred years ago. Most of the East, all the most rare and precious things in the world can be found there, gems, pearls, medicinal materials and spices..." said a Cossack with a romantic sentiment.

"Are you daydreaming! Do you think you are the envoy of the empire or the great merchant? We meet robbers from the East. They will torture us after we have built the castle, and at the end, curse us with Eastern witchcraft, so that we will never ascend to heaven forever." Another Cossack, who had a darker idea, said.

When I heard about Eastern witchcraft, these Cossacks were obviously a little scared. Such unknown things are the most likely to cause panic.

While the group of Cossack prisoners were enslaved to build the fortress, the logistics troops of the pioneer regiment, who received the news, set off from the Heilongjiang River Basin and marched towards the direction where the Yakutsk Fortress was located.

The traffic line from the Heilongjiang River Basin to the Lena River Basin was explored by the pioneer group itself, and they knew this traffic line well. The logistics troops successfully resisted the Yakutsk Fortress without any major accidents.
