Before the invention of cement, burying gunpowder in the ground was definitely the best enemy of city walls.
The musketeers made great achievements, and Barguzin was completely captured in less than half an hour.
In this battle, less than 300 Cossacks were killed, and the remaining 500 or 600 had to surrender.
In response, the Buryats wanted to kill them quickly, but Hong Chengchou was more generous, captured these people, and carefully placed them.
Nowadays, the Rakshasa people, who have a sparse population and strong fighting ability, are the best mercenaries, just like the Sauron people in the past.
Even Koreans and Saurons can be incorporated into the Eight Banners, let alone these Rakshasa people.
The capture of Barguzin in a short time greatly shocked the Russians, and the reinforcements retreated without a fight.
Therefore, after Shunzhi arrived at Lake Baikal, the land east of the huge Lake Baikal with a radius of nearly a thousand miles was completely included under his control.
Each tribe had a total of more than 35,000 tents and a population of 120,000, which was a great supplement for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had suffered heavy losses.
In just over a month, Hong Chengchou drove the Buryat people to cultivate nearly 10,000 acres of land and plant rye, barley, and wheat.
Barguzin has also been repaired and expanded, enough to accommodate ten thousand people, and it was barely enough to serve as the emperor's palace.
Shunzhi was extremely satisfied. He stepped on the grass and looked at the endless Lake Baikal in the distance. The cold wind blew from the lake, rippling green grass waves.
On the side, Tang Ruowang was stunned: "My God, such a big lake is comparable to the sea."
Immediately, he turned his head and said to Hong Chengchou: "I never expected that the Russians' footsteps would reach the east."
"Russia is famous in your country?"
Hong Chengchou accompanied the emperor and captured Buryat Mongolia and Barguzin. He was already the emperor's most trusted minister.
"They are another name for barbarians." Tang Ruowang shook his head and said angrily: "It can be said that they are just like the Mongols, and they also believe in heresy..."
Shunzhi waved his hand, turned around and asked, "Hong Qing, how is this place? How many people can it feed?"
"Your Majesty, the Buryat people say that there are also Rakshasa people on the west side of Lake Baikal. It is thought that this lake alone can feed the entire Qing Dynasty."
Hong Chengchou said seriously: "Compared to Mobei, although this place is a little more desolate, as long as more work is done, it will be as good as Liaodong."
"Besides, with the three Khalkha and Mongolian troops in front, it would be impossible for the Ming army to travel thousands of miles to fight here."
"Then let's stay here for now!"
The emperor gave an order, and hundreds of thousands of people who migrated had no choice but to obey.
So in the 9th year of Shunzhi, in 1652 AD, the Manchu Qing Dynasty changed Bargujin to Fengjing Prefecture, built a city, divided the land, and resettled tribesmen. In just a few months, it turned out to be something special.
Of course, this pain is based on the Russians.
Although they could not defeat the Ming army, the musketeers organized after the Ming army were invincible throughout Siberia.
The city of Inrkutsk on the west side of Lake Baikal, Kiliansk and Bratsk on the north were destroyed in one fell swoop after twenty years of efforts by the Russians.
…
More than two thousand captured Cossack cavalry were organized into the Eight Banners, called the Eight Banners of the Rakshasa Army, and became serious bannermen.
Ranked at the bottom of the contempt chain after the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the Eight Banners of Korea.
Through this series of battles, the Manchu Qing's territory expanded to the entire Lake Baikal, the lower reaches of the Yenisey River, and the lower reaches of the Lena River, and the number of Mongolian tribesmen under its control exceeded 200,000.
More importantly, they obtained a large number of craftsmen, gunpowder, and powerful horses from Eastern Europe, and their military strength was quickly restored.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty was rejuvenated in a sense, but for Chen Yongfu, this was a great tragedy.
They camped step by step along the way, chasing and intercepting them, but in the end they missed the migration of the Manchus and wanted to pursue them, but the food and grass logistics restricted them.
"He was so helpless and thousands of miles away. How did the Manchus escape?"
Chen Yongfu came to Jilin City and looked at the simple but well-equipped palace. He was very angry for a while. He lost more than half of his achievements and it was really costing him his life.
Nearly 100,000 people in Liaodong were waiting for this great achievement to gain promotions and titles. Now that the cooked duck is gone, many people are so angry that they are vomiting blood.
"Perhaps the Horqin Department took over."
Wu Sangui also sighed.
Although Horqin's right wing surrendered, the people were still unconvinced, while Horqin's left wing was tied to the Manchus with broken bones and tendons. The help along the way will definitely allow it to migrate smoothly.
"Fight, brothers, we can't go in vain."
Chen Yongfu became fierce. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his face almost cramped.
After occupying Jilin, tens of thousands of cavalry dispersed, in units of battalions (500 people), and continued to disperse, taking the initiative to attack various tribes.
They will not let go of Sauron people, wild Jurchens, or birth Jurchens.
Surrender?
If you don’t understand something, then you can only hit me.
What, the official seal of the commander appointed by Nuergandusi?
Liaodong has lost dozens of them. They are all fake.
The language barrier has become the best talisman.
The military judges in the army also turned a blind eye and closed one eye, allowing the troops to attack.
Because their military merit is also calculated as a whole, if they have more kills, they can also be regarded as meritorious service.
After a month of attacking in various places, the army did not rest until the food and grass were almost exhausted.
This time, we attacked everywhere and achieved great results.
More than 15,000 people were beheaded, and more than 20,000 people were captured. More than 200 tribes, large and small, surrendered, and the number of tribes who fled far away is even more difficult to count.
Countless other items were seized, including mink skins, dong beads, ginseng, deer skins, deer antlers, tiger bones, and even gold nuggets, and the soldiers made a fortune.
At this point, Chen Yongfu, who was barely satisfied, left several thousand men to garrison Jilin City, and then led his troops back to the division with the gains.
This war to destroy the country, which lasted only two months, ended in an anticlimactic manner.
Beijing also lamented.
However, there is good news. Without the threat of the Qing Dynasty, the whole province of Liaodong will no longer face military disasters at any time, and thus the crisis can be turned into peace.
Not to mention the officials taking office one after another, there are also some disputes among the cabinet about the land that stretches thousands of miles from northern Liaoning to Jilin.
However, in the end, we still followed the usual practice. Considering that the land was vast and sparsely populated, or even there were not many people, it was necessary to build a castle garrison.
Just like the army stationed at the border in the early Ming Dynasty.
Jilin Xingdu Division was established, with 20,000 troops stationed, dozens of castles built along the way, and an official road from Shenyang to Jilin built, with troops stationed along the road.
Restore the Nurgandu Division and reorganize the tribes north of Jilin.
