The special forces have mastered various advanced combat skills, excellent battlefield response capabilities, tribal hunters' familiarity with the local natural environment and their own primitive barbaric attributes, plus the natural obedience, bloodthirsty, brutality, and endurance attributes of Japanese samurai.
Together they created the super combat power of this Arctic advance team and their excellent adaptability in this special environment, writing a legendary story that spreads on the Arctic ice sheet.
When the advance party captured Yakutsk.
The area to the west of the Outer Xing'an Mountains, to the east of Moon Lake, and to the north is still the northeastern extension of the Mongolian Plateau.
Now there is no trace of Tsarist Russians in this area.
The cavalrymen of the Second Cavalry Brigade combed the entire place.
Two-thirds of this brigade are Mongolian rangers.
These herdsmen who used to follow strict rules and regulations have completely changed after being trained by Huai Haijun.
They were not merciless at all in killing the Tsarist Russians they found.
Especially when living Buddhas announced that these Tsarist Russians were the reincarnation of devils and a scourge of the grassland.
These Mongolians completely put down their fears and killed the Tsarist Russians in order to accumulate merit for themselves.
As for why the Living Buddha said this, on the one hand, it is because now he needs the protection of Huai Haijun.
On the other hand, different religions are inherently enemies. Either you die or I live. It is impossible for people to have two faiths at the same time.
The First Brigade has now replenished its troop sources, and the Buryat Mongols east of Moon Lake are their main troop source.
Kyakhtu has been captured, and it has become an important nail for the Huai Navy on the Mongolian Plateau.
It is also the forward base for the Huai Navy to penetrate southward.
After the Huai Navy occupied this place, they also opened up a road channel to communicate with the Huai Navy Headquarters.
In the future, in case of emergency, the Huai Navy in the north can even obtain a small amount of supplies on the road through the Great Wall Company.
If Xianfeng now had a map of East Asia with the situation clearly marked.
He will be pleasantly surprised to find that the Huai Navy has formed a huge counter-encirclement.
In the past, when the Central Plains dynasties attacked the nomadic tribes on the grasslands, they crossed the Great Wall and headed north.
However, the Huai Navy went directly to the rear of the nomadic tribe.
If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty or Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty saw this, they would definitely say that Huai Haijun was cheating.
The past dynasties have attacked nomadic tribes, and new forces will eventually rise on the grasslands, because there are always more barbaric nomadic tribes to the north of the nomadic tribes in the south.
Even if you kill all the nomadic tribes in the south, the freed grassland will still allow the nomadic tribes further north to develop rapidly, thus forming a more powerful nomadic empire.
This cycle went on and on, which indirectly led to the endless changes in the Central Plains dynasties.
In Dong Shuheng's era, this vicious cycle can finally be changed.
Because Dong Shuheng knew that there were not only grasslands but also vast Gobi on this plateau.
Hidden beneath this desolate appearance are countless mineral resources that can support the development of the country and nation.
After occupying the Mongolian Plateau, are we still worried about the lack of coal, iron ore and copper mines in the future?
These are precious treasures left by our ancestors to future generations.
Now the Huaihai Navy in the north is like a big hand of Tathagata Buddha pressing down from above the Mongolian Plateau.
Follow the prosperity, those who go against will perish!
Those herders who join the Huaihai Navy will become part of China and enjoy the dividends brought by the development of the entire nation.
And those who want to continue to follow the Manchus, those who want to maintain their domineering life, will eventually become nutrients for the barren land on the plateau.
When the severe cold came, the second cavalry brigade, already red-eyed, turned back south in anger.
Return to their wintering place - Nerchinsk City.
This winter they will sharpen their fangs even more.
The battle with Tsarist Russia in Siberia would not end easily.
There will inevitably be repeated tug-of-war here.
Dong Shuheng felt that he could afford it.
It might even consume Tsarist Russia, the oldest empire, to the point of collapse.
To put it bluntly, Tsarist Russia’s feudal aristocratic system was no better than the Manchu Qing court.
Ulan-Ude is now a military city. Except for the troops who still have to be stationed here in winter, there are only a small number of Mongolians living around it.
Chita is better, the buildings here are relatively complete, and a large part of the army will spend the winter here.
Because Chita is right by the river, even in winter, you can still communicate with Nerchinsk downstream via sleds on the ice.
Nerchinsk seems very crowded, but at least the people here can live in warm houses. Even the yurts of the herdsmen outside the city are equipped with small cast-iron stoves.
This kind of iron stove was shipped from distant Jiangsu.
All are mass produced in factories.
In the past, herdsmen might have to use a horse to replace an iron pot.
Now looking at the iron stove in the yurt, everyone regards it as a treasure.
In particular, this stove has a pipe made of iron sheets that can be extended outside the yurt.
This makes the yurt no longer smoky.
In the past, herders built a small fire pond directly in the middle of the yurt with earth and stones.
In winter, a hole must be opened in the yurt to let the smoke and dust escape, which makes the inside of the yurt always unable to get warm.
People will also be smoked like black lumps of cow dung.
China and her mother shared a yurt, and they also had a small stove.
Chena's mother regarded this stove as a treasure.
It’s really a big piece of iron!
How many horses will it take to get this back?
Chi Na's silly mother has been calculating for many days, but she still can't figure it out.
She asked China this question.
Because everyone said her son was smart, otherwise how could he be loved by the Han officers.
But China couldn't answer either.
China's silly mother asked China: "My clever son China, are we going to be slaves to the Han people for life? Otherwise, why would the Han people give us stoves and we have nothing."
China told her mother: "Now that we have food and drink, isn't it good for a slave to live like this?"
Chi Na's mother nodded repeatedly.
Mother China's job is to take care of the cattle and sheep, and to milk the cows, goats, and camels.
These items will complement everyone's winter recipes.
Or make it into dry cheese and store it.
Of course, it is not the dry cheese that everyone eats. This is the traditional military ration of the Mongolian cavalry.
The ancient Mongolian cavalry used this as rations to march long distances.
Its calories are not weaker than compressed biscuits, and it is more nutritious than compressed biscuits.
In particular, fermented dry cheese contains various vitamins, which can make soldiers less likely to get sick during long-distance marches.
The Mongolians living around the city of Nerchinsk now have a trouble, that is, they have to take a bath every week.
There are ten bathhouses in this small city.
The governors who manage the city attach great importance to health work.
Especially these Mongolians, who often deal with livestock and carry fleas and other parasites on their bodies.
Huaihai Haijun has a set of "Living Hygiene and Epidemic Prevention Regulations" specifically for the common people, including one article that public bathhouses must be established in various places, and ordinary people must bathe once a week.
After taking a few baths, a strange thing happened. Many adults could not recognize their children, and some children could not recognize their parents.
The first time China came home after taking a bath, his stupid mother didn't recognize him.
Because he was a little boy, someone helped him trim his bald head when he took a bath for the first time.
Not only him, almost all men have become bald. There is no way, their hair has already become a kingdom of various parasites.
If you were to make a documentary about parasites on humans, you would just pull a Mongolian man over and point the camera at his hair.
When China shaved his head and took a bath, he returned home, but his mother wanted to kneel down to him because he looked more like the boy on whom the Buddha sat.
It took China a long time to explain before his stupid mother recognized him.
The China family's yurt is surrounded by a circle of chopped wood, which is enough wood to keep their small stove going all winter.
Naturally, China prepared the wood themselves. Everyone must prepare their own fuel for the winter.
At the same time, part of it must be handed over to the troops who are about to return.
When winter has not yet entered, there are always trees flowing down the creek on the mountainside.
These trees were cut into neat sections on the giant steam sawmill.
Everyone just needs to take it back and split it with the axes distributed.
Dunya is a Tsarist Russian woman, now fifteen years old. She has flaxen hair, snow-white skin, a tall nose, and a pair of big Kazlan eyes.
Tsarist Russian women are most in line with Chinese aesthetics at this age.
She was born in the city of Nerchinsk and was not yet married.
This spring, the river had just thawed. The governor led his army through the city of Nerchinsk.
All the men in the city were taken downstream by the governor.
Dunya lives with his father and mother, and there are only three people in the family.
His father was a lame man and was lucky enough not to be drafted. Because there were no strong men in the family, his family was often bullied.
Every autumn harvest, someone would secretly harvest his family's land. But his father would go to settle accounts with the other party, but he was always humiliated.
Dunya has hated the people in this city since she was a child. They are selfish and bully.
After the summer, just as everyone was preparing for the autumn harvest, an army suddenly occupied their small town.
Dunya's family was arrested.
Later, his father was recruited by these people as one of the few men to take charge of the Russians in the city.
Dunya and her mother worked with everyone.
Everyone is extremely scared. Especially these women, they always feel that these people are going to humiliate them.
Because the other side is all an army and all are fierce men.
Although they seemed not as strong as the men of Tsarist Russia, the defenders in the city were indeed defeated by them.
Moreover, there are no men in the prime of life in this city now, except for the old and disabled, there are only babies.
But the imagined harm did not happen. When his father came back with three pieces of black bread, the family was very happy.
Because others can only drink some unknown mush.
Dunya's father told her and her mother not to be afraid, the army was reasonable.
Dunya's father can speak the language of the Qing people, which he learned while running a caravan when he was young.
His leg was also broken at that time.
After that, this army settled in Nerchinsk city.
They were so keen on building houses that they demolished the yards of the original residences in the city and filled all the vacant land with houses.
It seems like a lot of people want to live here.
Then many boats came on the river, bringing a large amount of food, salt and clothing.
Dunya helped move things along with the women in the city, so she knew exactly what was there.
These things are stored in the warehouse.
There were so many things that they could pile up into a mountain, so they had to build more warehouses to store things.
As time passed, Dunya gradually became familiar with these soldiers.
Dunya found many advantages in these soldiers, such as they never hit women, they did not seem to be drunk, and they were very hard-working.
They participate in the same labor every day, and it is the most tiring work.
As time went by, people in the city became very worried about their relatives who had followed the army downriver.
They asked Dunya's father to ask.
In desperation, Dunya's father had no choice but to ask.
Fortunately, these soldiers did not embarrass Dunya's father, but told him the truth.
It turned out that these soldiers defeated the army led by the governor.
The women in the city fell into deep despair, their eyes were full of despair, and they lost their energy when working.
Dunya didn't know whether to be happy or sad. At least her family of three was still together.
Because Dunya's father behaved well, the family of three was freed and assigned a house.
Yes, there is only one house, because people do need to be stationed in the city.
There are still a few households that are doing better and have gained their freedom, while the rest are still under centralized management.
Dunya didn't sympathize with them, she hated the people in this city.
Recently, a young officer often comes to help me with my work.
He is a Qing native, and Dunya, a Qing native, cannot tell the difference between handsome and ugly. She just thinks that he is the tallest among the group.
For the first time, the man gave me a piece of rock candy. The rock candy was very sweet in my mouth, but not as greasy as honey.
Dunya likes sweets, and it seems that all Russians do.
The second time, the man gave her a piece of soap. After taking a bath with it, Dunya felt that her body seemed to be exuding the fragrance of flowers.
Dunya was a little tempted, and she insisted on her father teaching her how to speak Chinese.
Now she was able to have a simple conversation with the officer, and she knew that the other officer was actually a captain.
