Hearing that Yang Fan planned to bring the Buryats, Shuolei Khan had no objections.
The Buryats are Oaras, and the Khalkhas are Tatars. So the two families are close to each other, but they hardly move between them.
This isolated Oara people has almost no one to support them. They are too far away from Mongolia in the desert. Thousands of kilometers away, even if they are willing to rescue, it is too late. They have almost cut off any news from the Oara people.
.
Starting from the next year, Tsarist Russia's troops will enter the core area of Buryatia, and fierce conflicts will occur between the two sides. These are a group of children without parents. They are no match for Tsarist Russia at all.
In the original history, starting from the twenty-sixth year of Wanli (1598), the Tsarist Russian Empire began to invade Siberia. By the fourth year of Shunzhi (1647), Tsarist Russia had advanced to the Sea of Okhotsk area. In less than fifty years,
Years ago, it occupied tens of millions of square kilometers of land.
Starting from the fourth year of Chongzhen (1631), the Buryat people began to resist the rule of Tsarist Russia. However, because they were isolated and helpless, no one paid attention to their life and death. They ultimately failed and were easily conquered by Tsarist Russia.
Therefore, during the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty never paid attention to this area, and no one paid attention to it in the early Qing Dynasty. The Lake Baikal area was easily occupied by the Russians. Emperor Kangxi won the Battle of Yaksa
Later, the city of Nerchinsk and the entire Buryatia region were abandoned.
The reason why Yang Fan attaches great importance to Buryatia is mainly because he pays attention to Lake Baikal.
Lake Baikal is known as the "Bright Eye of Siberia", with a total area of about 31,500 square kilometers, a deepest depth of 1,637 meters, and a freshwater storage capacity of 23.6 trillion cubic meters, accounting for 20% of the world's total.
In the modern world, what is most scarce and what is most precious is fresh water resources.
Without water, civilization will perish.
The beautiful country plans to use fresh water to replace oil as the anchor of green coins in the future. Because they have the Great Lakes, which store a large amount of fresh water.
If Lake Baikal still belongs to us, do we still need to carry out water diversion from the south to the north? A freshwater lake contains one-fifth of the world's freshwater reserves.
Around Lake Baikal, there are a total of 336 rivers of different sizes flowing into the lake, and the only one that flows out of the lake is the Angara River. The surrounding rivers are constantly pouring in, and 59 billion cubic meters of water flows to the Arctic Ocean every year.
(Equivalent to the flow of the Yellow River). Our children and grandchildren no longer have to worry about fresh water.
There is still a plateau, so as long as the water is pumped for a short distance, the remaining distance can flow to North China. Or it can be directly transported through pipelines.
Buryatia has a low level of development and a very cold climate. They can exist independently without being annexed by other Mongolian forces. It is entirely because the natural conditions in that place are too harsh. It is not that they have strong fighting power.
Yang Fan planned to tie the Buryat and Chechen Khans together, support them through trade, and jointly resist the invasion of Tsarist Russia. Because Tsarist Russia was advancing too fast.
But Yang Fan can't take care of this place now. Yang Fan must concentrate on solving the Mongolian Mongolia first and unify the Mongolian tribes as soon as possible. During this time, someone must resist the attack of Tsarist Russia.
Because the world entered the Little Ice Age, the price of furs in Europe increased sharply in order to keep warm. Tsarist Russia relied on the fur trade to rise.
In order to plunder precious fur resources, in 1581, Tsar Ivan IV sent Yermak to lead 840 Cossacks across the Ural Mountains and formally invaded the Siberian Khanate. This was the beginning of Tsarist Russia's development to the east.
Their expansion speed is very violent, and they use waterways to advance quickly. It is almost dizzying.
In 1598, Kuchum Khan died while fleeing, and the Siberian Khanate was declared completely destroyed.
At the same time, Russia established a series of cities in the middle and lower reaches of the Ob River: Tyumen, Tobolsk, Lozvinsky Fort, Perem City, Berezov City, Surgut, and Narem City
, Turinsk, Tomsk…….
In 1601, the Tsar sent Duke Shakhovsky to lead the Cossacks to build the city of Mangatia in the Taz River Basin.
In April 1601, the Russian government sent another 300 Cossacks, led by the warlord Duke Mosalsky and the warlord Pushkin, to Mangatia. In 1607, Turukhansk Castle was built at the mouth of the river.
Also known as New Mangajia.
The city of Narem was built in 1596, and Tomsk was built in 1604. In 1605, the Cossacks built Kate Castle on the lower reaches of the Kate River, a tributary of the Ob River.
On February 28, 1618, Kuznetsk was built on the right bank of the Tom River, at the mouth of the Kondoma River.
In 1619, the Russian army built Yeniseisk on the west bank of the Yenisey River, not far above the mouth of the Kem River.
In 1625, the Yeniseisk warlord sent Firsov and Chumenets to lead the Cossacks in the Buryat region.
In June 1627, Dubinsky led 300 Cossacks and 3 hostages from Tobolsk. On August 16, 1628, the city of Krasnoyarsk was built.
In 1628, centurion Beketov built Rybinsk Fort. In this way, Russia had paved the way for further conquests of the Angara River and Lake Baikal.
This year is 1629, and the crisis of invasion by Tsarist Russia is imminent.
Yang Fan was not prepared to let Tsarist Russia occupy the Lake Baikal region. He planned to train the Buryat people through trade and send officers to give them the ability to resist the Cossacks.
After all, the people who came from Tsarist Russia were small troops consisting of hundreds or more than a thousand people. The number was not too large.
Why is Buryatia so weak? Several hundred or more than a thousand people cannot resist. This is mainly related to their level of development.
The distant ancestors of the Buryat people can be traced back to the residents who were distributed along the shores of Lake Baikal in the Neolithic Age. They later developed northward to the area between the Yenisei River and the Lena River. In the 13th to 14th centuries AD, they
It also absorbed some elements from the northern Mongolian tribes.
By the beginning of the 17th century AD, the Buryat tribe was formed by the combination of the Bragat, Eshilit, and Hangodor people on the west bank of Lake Baikal and the Holin people on the east bank.
In the middle of the 17th century AD, the patriarchal clan system of the Buryat people disintegrated, and early feudal relations began to develop, but remnants such as blood revenge and mutual assistance among clans have long been retained.
Because until this time, Buryatia was still in the form of a patriarchal clan tribe. In other words, a unified political power had not been formed. Each of their tribes could not produce more than a thousand warriors. They also did not have a unified khan to manage. So
, they are just like a piece of loose sand, at the end of primitive society.
The Russian Empire's conquest of Siberia was very strategic. The Russians first used firearms to clear the way and defeated the indigenous people. Then they built castles to form a series of fortress lines. Finally, they immigrated, set up governors and county systems, and gradually eroded and digested the newly occupied territory.
Shuolei Khan was mentally prepared for Yang Fan's request, because the Ming Dynasty had never provided them with a free lunch. Even tribute trade was conditional. It was impossible to pay tribute without agreeing to the Ming Emperor's conditions.
.
Yang Fan has given them such a huge benefit now, and it cannot be without conditions.
