Yang Fan opened the market in Nerchinsk, but it only opened for three days because he was going back.
The Heilongjiang Basin has a high latitude and a cold climate. At this time, all the small rivers are frozen, and only the main tributaries and main streams of Heilongjiang can still be used by boats. But in the past few days, ice floes have appeared on the Shilka River. Yang Fan can stay at most three days.
Originally, he planned to meet with the heads of various departments. It seems that we can only talk about it next spring. At that time, the war in the Western Region had already begun. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to come. We can only send someone here.
Desert Mongolia and Kazakhstan are not easy to solve, and the land there is vast. It may take three or four years to solve it. Now that Yang Fan has decided to use troops in the northwest, he will completely solve the problems in the Western Regions. He would not stop until he reached Tsaritsyn.
Once Yang Fan built a city in Tsaritsyn and heavily guarded the isthmus, which was only a few dozen kilometers between the Volga River and the Ural River, Mao Zi went crazy. They no longer had the energy to go to Siberia. And the passage is blocked. Unless you cross the Ural Mountains.
After the news spread, thousands of people came here to make deals with Yang Fan. There are five white sailboats moored in the river. On the shore is a tent camp. In an open space, the snow was cleared and a felt was spread. The various commodities brought by Yang Fan were placed on top. ..
Yang Fan has many commodities, with metal products, food and textiles being the main categories. And these are what they lack most. Yang Fan only collects skins and gold dust.
The market was crowded with people, and Yang Fan knew that there must be many leaders mixed in to observe the reality. Yang Fan also pretended not to know. This time he did not plan to contact them directly because the time was not yet ripe. After all, let them fully observe and understand.
Bag after bag of rice is brought from the boat. Here, a mink skin is exchanged for a pound of rice. Three ermine skins were exchanged for one pound of rice. The skin of an otter can be exchanged for twelve meters.
Yang Fan walked with his servants in the market, looking at the crowded market, he felt very happy. He knew that people here were looking forward to the arrival of businessmen.
There was a noise in the distance. Yang Fan didn't expect that someone would dare to cause trouble here. He walked over with his servants. At the easternmost end of the market, about twenty people wearing deerskins were pulling an officer with them emotionally and saying something else.
They seemed to be begging for something, but Yang Fan didn't understand their language. It was not until an interpreter came that it became known that these people were Sauronites.
The Sauron people originally referred to the indigenous people who lived in the forests and grasslands of Eastern Siberia and the Outer Xing'an Mountains, and in the middle and upper reaches of Heilongjiang during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
That is what people often call "the true birth of a girl". Tribes such as Daur, Oroqen and Ewenki were all members of the Sauron people at that time, but later the word Sauron gradually became the exclusive name of the Ewenki people.
The word Sauron originally meant "the one who lives upstream." The upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River are worth mentioning. Their settlement area is the section above the Heihe River, including the mountains in the northern part of the Daxinganling Mountains.
Yang Fan's eyes narrowed, making the Ewenki people.
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy?" Yang Fan asked.
The officers immediately retreated from the push and reported to Yang Fan: "These Sauron people do not follow the rules. They plan to exchange one-tenth of the alluvial gold for food. We did not agree, and they became very excited and pulled We don’t know what to say.”
The appearance of Yang Fan made these Sauron people realize that a big shot was coming. They also retreated and gathered together, looking at Yang Fan and his party with vigilance.
Yang Fan looked at the translation. The translator explained: "They said that the deer left and has not come back yet. They can't survive this winter, and the old people, women, and children will all die. They only have this, hoping to give them enough food to survive the winter. They I am willing to repay our kindness later."
The officer said: "Sir, if we set a precedent for them and everyone demands the same conditions, what should we do? This gap cannot be opened. It is not us who freeze to death and starve to death. It has nothing to do with us. It is not that they can't survive. Dong, we have to help.”
Yang Fan asked about the location of their tribe, and Yang Fan quickly determined that they were the Shilu Ewenki. Yang Fan had mixed feelings in his heart. In the years to come, these people will work almost exclusively for the expansion of China's territory.
Bled dry.
In three to four hundred years, their total population never exceeded 100,000.
The Saurons were the trump card of the Qing Dynasty and the vanguard of the army. They participated in many wars, large and small, in the Qing Dynasty.
For example, in the Hundred Years of Qing Dynasty War, the Sauron people fought from the beginning until the entire Xinjiang belonged to the Qing Dynasty. The Junggar people were wiped out by Sauron's soldiers.
During the Qing-Burmese War, the colorful armored cavalry that the Burmese army feared most was the Sauron soldiers. The Burmese said that the Manchus were worthy of fighting and stronger than the Han soldiers, but they actually meant the Sauron soldiers. The Manchus of the Qianlong Dynasty had long since become useless. The Burmese soldiers were equipped with brown Bess flintlock guns provided by the British, but they failed to hit the heavy arrows of the Sauron soldiers. Almost anyone who shows his head will be shot to death.
The Sino-Russian Battle of Yaksa defeated the Cossacks. Qianlong's expedition to Gorkha (Nepal) forced Nepal to surrender. They also put down the Jinchuan and Da Jinchuan rebellions, the Bailian rebellion, etc., often spanning thousands or even thousands of miles, and fighting thousands of miles away.
Another of their achievements was to pacify the snow area and bring Qingzang into the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty actually controlled only the eighteen provinces south of the Great Wall. The total area is about the same as that of India, more than three million square kilometers. The Western Regions have been lost since the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty. Ming Dynasty never got it back. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, it had been nine hundred years. The Yuan Dynasty had effectively ruled the Snow Region, and it was the Qing Dynasty that regained control.
Huaxia in the Qing Dynasty was composed of Hui District (Xinjiang), Snow District (Qingzang), Han District (eighteen provinces south of the Great Wall), Mongolian District (Inner and Outer Mongolia), Manchu District (Northeast and Outer Northeast, Sakhalin, etc.) A multi-ethnic country.
From the cold Siberia and the white mountains and black waters of the Northeast, to the hypoxic Himalayas on the plateau, from the vast wilderness of the Western Regions to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. They have fought bloody battles in mountains, plateaus, deserts, and rainforests.
They worked one after another to open up territory for China. As long as the blood is not shed, the fight will continue.
The Sauron people were conscripted by the Qing government more than seventy times, and their footprints were all over China. There were even powerful Sauron generals on the island of Taiwan.
The Qing Dynasty often used them as a decisive force in wars at the most critical moments, thereby changing the outcome of the war and winning the final victory for the emperor. They were the real fighting nation.
And the Manchus treated them very badly.
