Tolbuzin strolled along the Ergun River. This river is the main source of Heilongjiang and the boundary river between China and Russia in later generations. The Mongolians called it the Ergun River or the Yeliguna River, and the Ming Dynasty called it A
Lu is connected to the river.
The Ergun River is originally the mother river of the Mongols. It originates from the western slope of Mount Gillaoqi on the west side of the Greater Khingan Range. It has a total length of 1,666 kilometers and a total drainage area of 150,000 square kilometers. The right bank of the river is the primeval forest of the Greater Khingan Range, home to Mongolian and other ethnic groups.
The birthplace of many safari peoples, it is also the hometown of Genghis Khan. This area brings together more than 1,800 large and small rivers such as Hailar River and Gen River. It has fertile land, dense forests, abundant water and grass, many species of fish, and rich animal and plant resources.
, suitable for farming and animal husbandry, it can be called a paradise on earth.
The Rakshasa people came here, and heaven turned into hell!
They established strongholds, levied heavy taxes, killed people and set fires, and committed all kinds of evil. They turned this inland river of the Mongolian and Yuan Empire into the boundary river between the Ming Dynasty and Russia.
Tolbuzin was strolling while inspecting the river defense. He was originally the general manager of Trois-Rivières. Hearing the arrival of the Ming army, he prepared to fight to the death with the Ming army in Trois-Rivières. However, he received a call from Vlasov, the warlord of Nerchinsk (Nerchinsk).
The military order ordered him to abandon Trois-Rivières and retreat to Fort Dosatui, where he joined forces with Milevalov, the governor of Nerchinsk, to resist the Ming army.
He felt very aggrieved. The honor of the nobles made him unable to accept the shame of giving up "Russian territory". As a nobleman who was highly valued by the royal family, Alexey Tolbuzin wore a shield-shaped city emblem given by the tsar.
The city emblem is engraved with an eagle with outstretched wings. One talon of the eagle grasps a bow and the other talon grasps an arrow. Its eyes are sinister and its expression is ferocious. He likes this eagle and regards it as his incarnation, wherever he goes.
Wear him.
Even if you are an eagle, you must obey military orders. Vlasov ordered him to retreat to Dosatui Fort, but he had no choice but to retreat obediently with a hundred Cossacks and a hundred surrendered Buryat Mongols.
Milevalov, who was stationed at Dosatui Fort, was a veteran colonist. He saw at a glance the key to defending the fort: defend the fort first and defend the river. He left fifty Cossacks to guard the fort, and together with the colonists
Erbujin led 300 Cossacks, 100 Buryat Mongols, and 100 Daur people, and a total of 500 soldiers and horses were deployed along the Ergun River.
The two took turns patrolling the river bank every day and did not dare to relax for a moment.
Looking at the turbulent Ergun River, Tolbuzin suddenly felt that Vlasov's military order might be correct. The water in this river was much more rapid than the Jian River, and the water waves beat against the river with great power.
Thousands of sprays arose on the rocks in the middle of the river, seeming to drown all the brave men who dared to cross the river.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and sun and moon flags appeared on the other side of the river.
"Hurry and tell Chief Milevalov that the Ming army is coming and prepare to fight!"
??
Ming army generals Chen Biao and He You led 1,500 soldiers and 4,000 barbarian soldiers to the east bank of the Ergun River.
Originally, the two of them had achieved great success in "capturing" Sanhe City and did not want to fight again. However, when they went to report their victory, they falsely reported some military achievements, which made Heilongjiang Governor Gu Chaojian feel that the enemies in front of them were just local chickens and dogs, and they were not worth fighting.
Therefore, Gu Fuyuan personally rushed to the Sanhe front line and urged them three times a day to rush northward, plow the court and sweep holes, and take Nerchinsk directly.
The two had no choice but to bite the bullet and came to the east bank of the Ergun River to set up camp.
Gu Chaojian was in high spirits. As soon as he set up camp, he summoned Chen, He and Gentemul, Rafkai, Albaya, Heji, Mogul, Zorba and Idali to discuss the military situation.
.
"Which unit will be the first to cross the river tomorrow and open a path for the entire army?" he asked with a smile.
Although he was asking questions, he stared at Gentemul and Hei Ji affectionately. He heard from Chen Biao that the city of Three Rivers was taken down by these two barbarians, and they must be able to fight. The old governor looked forward to the two of them making new achievements again.
.
Seeing that Shangguan kept looking at them, Gentemu'er and Heiji were flattered and were about to call for a fight.
But someone took the lead.
"To care for the hospital, the general will be willing to go there in the end."
"The final general is also willing to go".
The person who spoke was none other than the Daur leaders Rafkai and Albaya, who were the same people of Ghentmur and Heji and lived near Yaksa. These two men and their tribes were living happily in the area of Yaksa.
Herding horses and sheep, their small life was sweeter than honey. The evil Rakshasa people came and forced them to pay taxes, perform military service, do coolies, and help the Rakshasa people build castles. It was really impossible to survive, so they had to endure
He refused to be recruited by the Qing court and fled to the area controlled by the Qing army. Later, he rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and returned to the Ming Dynasty, becoming a general of the Ming Dynasty.
Although their tribesmen are now nomadic in the Hailaer Qianhusuo area, they have no worries about food and drink. However, they cannot forget the Mohe grassland in the Yakesa area, where their ancestors have been riding horses and herding sheep for generations. They even dream of going back to their hometown!
During this Northern Expedition, I heard that Gentemul and Heiji of the same clan had made great contributions, and that the Rakshasa people on the opposite side were vulnerable. Their side was more powerful and had the support of the Tomorrow Army. The two felt itchy in their hearts.
, came up with the idea of asking for war and meritorious service.
Gu Chaojian was a scribe and had never experienced a big battle. Judging from their appearance, these two men were born with strong backs and were a head taller than Gen Temu'er and Heiji, so they thought they were evil spirits from ancient times and must be able to fight.
p>
"Okay, okay, I will sit on the east bank to watch the two generals bravely fight the enemy." The old governor stroked his beard and smiled, and kept encouraging the two generals with words.
Northern men are honest and honest, and when someone praises them, they wish they could die in return.
??
Groups of Daur soldiers wearing "Bukunqi Deli" (a kind of roe deer skin robe) began to cut wood and make rafts.
The Daur people are said to be descendants of the Khitan people and are brave and good at fighting. The Manchus classified them as a branch of the Sauron people and called them "the Sauron cavalry and archery are the best in the world". The Eight Banners soldiers who are good at cavalry and archery can say such a thing
, it can be seen that he is very good at bow and horse.
"Fuyuan, generals Rafkai and Albaya are ready. Do you want to order the crossing of the river?" Chen Biao respectfully asked Gu Chaojian for instructions.
"Let's cross the river," Gu Chaojian said calmly. He was born as a Jinshi, and he paid the most attention to the art of nourishing Qi. Even on the battlefield, he remained calm and unhurried.
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, Chen Biao quickly ordered the flag officer to wave the flag.
As soon as they saw the flag, Ravkay and Albaya hurriedly called on the people to board the raft, prop up the wooden poles, and row to the other side.
On the west bank of the Ergun River, Milevalov and Tolbuzin had already made preparations. Although there were not many troops, only 500 people, they built extremely complete fortifications. Three trenches were dug on the river beach.
A barrier was built behind the trench, and cannons were placed on the barrier. There were more than 20 artillery pieces, large and small. Some of them were antiques from the Wanli period. In addition to the artillery, firing ports were also built on the barrier.
Rakshasa's musketeers can shoot freely from the shooting port.
"Fire!"
Seeing the Ming army's raft approaching fiercely, Milevalov ordered the cannon to be fired.
