In the autumn of the second year of the Apocalypse (1624), the young Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich may not have realized that the expansion of 136 Cossacks led by Vasily Boyarkov in the Far East, with his tacit approval, and The burning, killing, and looting carried out by these barbarians in the Heilongjiang Basin would ultimately have tragic consequences for the future and destiny of the Tsarist Empire.
In the past two years, the Cossacks have killed almost all the indigenous people on both sides of the Jingqili River (the largest tributary on the left bank of Heilongjiang).
They marched along the Lena River and burned, killed and looted the indigenous people. Their methods were basically the same as what the English did in North America at the same time.
Even more savagely, according to eyewitnesses and their own diaries, when supplies were low - a problem often faced by Russian imperial expeditions in the seventeenth century - they resorted to cannibalism.
From the Jingqili River at the beginning to the Yaksa City later, they ate from the aborigines to their own people.
The Protector had no ill intentions towards these brave and fighting Cossacks, but even if they did not invade the Ming Dynasty or invade Nuergandusi, Liu Zhaosun would not let Mao Zi go.
Conquering Europe is a grand plan set during the Taichang years, and it will not be changed easily.
Before conquering Europe, Tsarist Russia was the first obstacle that had to be resolved.
In this era, an infantry march across Siberia was, of course, a fantasy.
Therefore, Liu Zhaosun's plan was to advance step by step and attack steadily. Every time he occupied a place, he would send people to garrison it, completely occupy it, and then continue to advance forward, just like Mao Zi's strategy for the Far East.
According to the original historical plane, the Cossack bandits would not invade the Heilongjiang Basin of the Ming Dynasty for the first time until the 17th year of Chongzhen, that is, 19 years later. They first broke into the Daur residential area in Jingqilijiang, China. They were resolutely fought back by the Daur residents and were forced to flee.
After receiving support from the Tsarist Russian government, in the eighth year of Shunzhi (1651), Cossack bandits moved south along the Heilongjiang River, looting, burning and killing everywhere. They bloodbathed the Daur village of Guyigudaer, killing 661 people and robbing 361 women and children, creating a horrific atrocity.
After that, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was busy dealing with the domestic anti-Qing forces, and the war against Tsarist Russia was in the embarrassing situation of "we advance, the enemy retreats, we retreat, the enemy advances", and the enemy was advancing and retreating. It was not until Emperor Kangxi put down the San Francisco Rebellion that he launched the Battle of Yaksa, and Tsarist Russia The expansion in the outer northeast has come to an end for the time being.
Two months ago, Li Sanguang led his northern expedition to Sakhalin Island. As he continued to move northwest, he quickly encountered Boyarkov and the Cossacks.
Both sides fought a bloody battle, each with casualties.

"What are Rakshasa people?"
"They are Beihai barbarians, they cannibalize people."
"Eating humans, isn't that a beast?"
Jiang Liuer looked up at the sparkling river, waving his arms and paddling the oars rhythmically.
Two months ago, the Twelfth Guards Army and Jianzhou and Haixi dispatched 360 people to board the ship from Heixiazi Island in Fuyuan County.
Thirty small boats carried soldiers and horses up the Asov River toward Sakhalin, where they would receive supplies.
Encountering a fast-flowing river section, the auxiliary soldiers jumped to the river bank to stretch.
Thin ropes as thick as the wrists were tied around the shoulders and backs, and the sharp and smooth pebbles under their feet caused many people's feet to be scratched by the stones, causing unspeakable suffering.
It was a bit cool at night on the Asu River (Wusuli River) in September. Jiang Liu'er put the urala straw given to him by Captain Shi Jin into a nest on the ground, and the heat rising from the bonfire in the distance baked his skin.
In the quiet night, the soldiers and hunters quickly fell asleep.
