Yakutsk Fort, the coldest city in the world, is winter for most of the year, with an extreme minimum temperature of minus 64.4 degrees. The entire city is built on rock-hard permafrost, so it is called
"Ice City".
In the winter here, when people exhale casually, it immediately turns into ice and falls to the ground; fish taken out of the river are as hard as stones; steel is as brittle and easy to break as ice; corpses buried under the soil will never rot.
In 1632, Tsarist Russia built a castle on the right bank of the Lena River. Since then, it has become an important stronghold for the Russians to continue their march eastward to the Sea of Okhotsk and south to Heilongjiang.
In order to rule this area for a long time and effectively, Tsarist Russia established a military governor area here to govern the area bounded by the Strait of Okhotsk and the Bering Strait to the east, Irkutsk to the south, Yeniseisk to the west, and east to the east.
The Siberian Sea is a huge area of nearly four million square kilometers.
In this area, many ethnic groups such as the Yakuts, Okvins, and Evens live. They all have yellow skin and black hair. Not only do they look exactly like the Mongolians, but their religious beliefs are also based on the Sahasraya that the Mongolians often believe in.
Manchu. The Russians have always wanted to promote Orthodox Christianity here. After a lot of effort, the people still believe in their own shamans.
The Yakutsk Governor's House is a building with Orthodox characteristics. Unlike Catholic houses, which prefer spires, Orthodox houses have onion-style domes, retaining a strong Byzantine style.
Warlord Franzbekov is having a meal. The table is filled with chicken, duck, fish, Russian shochu, and cabbage and other vegetables that are hard to buy. Yes, it is hard to buy. Half of the land in Yakutsk is in the Arctic.
There are no fruits and vegetables in the circle, and the locals mostly rely on meat for food, so the price of vegetables is naturally high. Two graceful maids stood upright to serve the master.
He is a German who flattered the old Tsar more than 30 years ago, came to Moscow to serve, and converted to Orthodox Christianity. The outside world evaluates him as: he is enterprising and energetic, and he is good at skillfully combining personal interests and national interests.
Combined, they have outstanding wisdom and talent.
The so-called "good at skillfully combining personal interests and national interests" refers to the fact that on the one hand, he carried out crazily colonial expansion and organized multiple invasions against China's Heilongjiang region; on the other hand, he also targeted Yakutsk businessmen.
The people extorted money and made money crazily.
In another time and space, at this time, he had been dismissed by Tsar Alexei and recalled to Moscow for interrogation due to corruption, bribery, and blackmail. In this time and space, the Ming Army's Northern Expedition helped him a lot. At this time, His Majesty the Great Tsar was more
Experienced colonists like Franzbekov are needed at all times. As for this man's corruption, bribery, extortion, and lawlessness, the young tsar turned a blind eye. The sky in Siberia is about to fall, as long as he can help me keep Yaya
Kutzke, just let him do whatever he wants.
Franzbekov burped and drank a glass of Russian shochu comfortably. The cold climate of the "Ice City" and the heat of the shochu made his chest seem to be burning with fire. It felt so comfortable! p>
This kind of shochu is the predecessor of vodka. Vodka officially appeared in 1478 during the reign of Ivan III. In 1553, Ivan the Terrible opened the first vodka pub in Moscow. However, at this time, it was not called vodka, but "
"Table wine No. 21" or "bread wine" or "shochu". It was not until the early 20th century that it was officially named "vodka" after taking the homophony of the Russian word for water.
Experiencing the pleasure brought by the fine wine, he secretly glanced at the maids on both sides with the corner of his eyes, lingering on their plump breasts, and soon his eyes became intense.
Someone wanted to spoil his good deeds. Ivanov, the general manager of Yakutsk, came in and saluted him politely: "Your Excellency, Governor, please forgive me for interrupting your meal. There are two bad news, we must
Report to you".
Franzbekov is happy, bad news? One or two?
He has seen the world. Because of the excessive blackmail, Yakutsk secretaries Stenshen, Agabitov, Abramov and others made sufficient preparations and attempted to use "the savior to appear in a dream".
In the name of ", he was removed from his post and all the property he had plundered was confiscated and returned to the public. However, he relied on his acting skills to get through with a lot of snot and tears.
He still remembers that on the day of the Tsar's name, Agabitov gave a loud speech in the city's cathedral: "Baptized people, listen to me. Last night, when I was just about to fall asleep, I entered the house through the door.
The door suddenly opened, and the crazy Alexei came in. Behind him were two young men, carrying the icon of the merciful Savior. The icon said to me: Nikita! Don't be afraid,
Go to the church and tell everyone openly that the common people in the world should no longer live lawless lives. Because Overseer Franzbekov is lawless, he is not allowed to enter the church; he is ordered to be removed from his post and plundered.
All belongings - furs and money - will be confiscated and returned to the public."
The bewitched Orthodox Christians swarmed up and grabbed his hand. At that moment, he really thought he was finished. In desperation, tears burst out of his eyes and begged: "If I am no longer worthy of staying in the church, then let me
Get lost."
It was these tears of weakness that divided the opposition, allowing him to escape back to the Governor's Mansion under the protection of some wealthy businessmen and soldiers. As soon as he escaped back to the Governor's Mansion, the Governor, who had been crying just now, immediately showed his fangs.
They sent people to put Abramov, Agabitov and others in prison.
If you can overcome such a big hurdle, why should you be afraid of bad news?
Franzbekov shrugged and said humorously: "Dear Ivanov, what bad news have you brought me? Could it be that the Savior appeared in a dream for the second time?"
Seeing that the warlord was so calm, Ivanov's nervous mood suddenly relaxed. Although this warlord was recognized as a greedy villain, he had a unique charm. In front of him, no matter how difficult it was, he could turn it into a trivial matter. "Overseer, the first bad news is that our old friend Peter Beketov has returned to the arms of the Lord. This is a letter jointly written to you by Tobolsk Overseer Shcherbatov and Chief Father Avakum"
.
Franzbekov was stunned, "Beketov is dead? This is really sad news! Tsarist Russia has lost a great strategist and fortress architect!"
Beketov was the founder of Yakutsk Castle and was particularly good at building castles. In 1632, he built the city of Yakutsk in the middle reaches of the Lena River and began his invasion of China. In 1635, he built the city of Yakutsk in Yakutsk.
The Olekminsk Fort was built in the southwest of the city, the Chita Fort was built in Transbaikal, the Kamarsk Fort (Humazhai) was built in the Heilongjiang River Basin, and the Nerchinsk Fort was built in the Nerchinsk area.
(Nerchinsk City), which made great contributions to Tsarist Russia’s colonial cause.
