Since the Chechen tribe moved to the middle reaches of the Heilongjiang River, they have been constantly invaded by the Rakshasas and have had no peace.
After repeated lobbying by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the advance of Obai's 10,000-strong army, the Chechen tribe was actually caught in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides. At this point, the Chechen Khan Shuolei finally surrendered, accepted the Qin Dynasty's enthronement, and according to convention, selected half of the young and strong from the tribe to fight with the Qin army.
After Abahai reorganized the army, the 15,000 troops were divided into three groups, supporting each other, crossing the Greater Khingan Range and attacking the military strongholds of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the Far East, such as Yakutsk and Vilyusk.
The expeditionary commander Li Ding has received new combat deployments. Li Ding will personally lead an army of 20,000 westwards to sweep Toksek and Omsk, and capture the most important strategic town of Tyumen before winter.
The remaining tens of thousands of troops will be divided into several routes to sweep through various Russian military strongholds in eastern Siberia, and strive to meet up with Li Ding in Tyumen before mid-summer next year, and then together cross the Ural Mountains, enter the Volga River basin, and even the East European steppes.
Currently, the Russian Empire has few troops in the vast East and Siberia regions east of the Ural Mountains, totaling less than 10,000 people. When divided up, each military stronghold has no more than a few hundred people.
The news that the two Cossack cavalry units of Sergei and Khmelniki were completely annihilated, with a total loss of 1,300 men, spread, which not only made the Russian army in Eastern and Siberia even more stretched, but also dealt a heavy blow to the soldiers;
Those minority tribes that were cruelly oppressed by them also began to stir, and the situation was very favorable for the armies including Aobai.
Time, the key is time.
Eastern Siberia has a long winter. In two months, a severe cold wave will hit the land, making it difficult for almost all creatures to move outdoors.
In order to save time, Aobai and his three companions traveled 200 to 300 miles a day, and even slept on horseback. Wherever the Qin flag passed, no matter if it was the Rakshasa army or the vassal army of a few tribes, as long as there was a little resistance, they would be killed, and their style was extremely ruthless.
In Yakutsk, 300 Russian soldiers and 1,000 soldiers from ethnic minorities stubbornly resisted in the city. After Aobai's 10,000-man army surrounded the city, they immediately launched a violent storm-like attack. Aobai had no rifles or rockets, but he had thunder bombs.
After the Mongolian army rushed forward like a wave, two or three hundred thunder bombs were thrown into the city, causing the sky to darken and the earth to turn black. With only one wave of attack, the 10,000 Mongolian army entered the city. Except for women and children, no one was left alive in the city.
The Mongolian armies galloped across the vast plains of East and Siberia, and were called "wolf packs led by dragons" by the Russian people.
There is no better metaphor than this. This is the wolf pack led by the dragon, sweeping across the sparsely populated land of East and Siberia, and this is definitely not their destination. Their journey is to the stars and the sea, with no end.

The bright moon rises from the Tianshan Mountains. Amid the vast sea of clouds, the wind blows for tens of thousands of miles. It blows over the Yumen Pass. The Han people go down the Baideng Road, and the Hu people peek into the Qinghai Bay... ... ... .
This is a poem written by Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that Li Bai was born in Suiye City in the Western Regions. Since the Tang Dynasty, Suiye City has always been an unreachable place for the Han people. The hometown of the immortal poet has been abandoned in the wilderness, as if it is farther away than the stars.
Su Jin stopped his horse on Luoying Mountain at the western end of the Ili River Valley, and looked westward with a telescope. From here, he could not see Suiye City, nor the hometown of the Immortal Poet.
Beyond the vast mountains is the endless grassland. When the summer wind blows, the flags flutter. Looking to the southeast, you can also see the snow-capped mountains all year round, reflecting the magnificent light under the sun.
There are towering snow-capped peaks, magnificent glaciers, boundless grasslands, vast forests, lush green pastures, wild flowers everywhere, blooming in the wind, the fragrance of flowers everywhere, and various animals leisurely enjoying the rich gifts of nature.
If you don't visit the Ili River Valley, no matter how much words you use, you will never be able to appreciate its beauty. It is truly like a paradise on earth.
In this paradise on earth, a large black flag with the Chinese character Qin fluttered in the wind. Under the flag, 10,000 Qin soldiers, mainly young and strong Tibetans, were standing in black clothes as hard as iron and riding horses as fierce as dragons. They looked very scary...
Standing beside Su Jin were Lieutenant Generals Chen Runan, Huo Dongsheng, Li Sheng, Wu Anbang, guerrilla generals Song Chao, Hu Tian, Yang Zaicheng, Yang Tianfang and others, as well as Chief Clerk Ma Yiwen and more than 20 military staff.
It is not difficult to see from the names of these people that they are all Han people. Although the troops transferred to Moxi are mainly composed of 30,000 young and strong Tibetans, the generals and officials at all levels are all Han people, who firmly control the 30,000 troops.
This time, Su Jin brought only 10,000 troops to the western end of the Yili River Valley. He put down the telescope and told Qian Da, the staff officer beside him, "You come and introduce the situation to everyone."
"Yes, General."
A group of staff quickly spread out a map on the hillside. After Chen Runan and other generals gathered around, Qian Da pointed at the map and said loudly: "The troops that entered the Ili River Valley to plunder this time were from the Kazakh Khanate. Although they withdrew hastily due to the arrival of our army, as the Junggar forces withdrew from the western desert, the power of the Kazakh Khanate is expanding eastward in an all-round way;
In the north, they crossed Lake Balkhash and were encroaching on the grasslands west of the Golden Mountains. In the south, they frequently entered the Ili River Valley to plunder. Large areas north and south of Lake Issyk-Kul had fallen into the hands of the Kazakh Khanate.
The current Khan of the Kazakh Khanate is called Yangil. His territory is very vast. In the south, it includes the Syr Darya River basin and its cities, in the southeast, it includes the Seven Rivers Basin, in the northeast, it reaches the east and south of Lake Balkhash, and in the west, it reaches the Yak River basin. It borders the even larger Ottoman Empire, and its capital is in Turkestan City in the middle reaches of the Syr Darya River.
The Kazakh Khanate had a population of about 700,000 and an army of about 150,000, but each lord had his own ideas and often disobeyed Yangjier's orders, so their fighting power was not strong.
In the past, they had been defeated many times in battles with the Dzungars and had to unite with the Bukhara Khanate in the Transoxiana region in the south, close to the Aral Sea, and the Bruts in the southeast to fight against the Dzungars.
The Bukhara Khanate and the Brut Khanate are two small countries whose strength is second only to the Kazakh Khanate. In the past, they were on good terms with the Yeluqiang Khanate in the Western Regions. Because they both believed in Islam, while the Dzungar Khanate believed in Tibetan Buddhism, there were constant conflicts between the two sides.
In the past, Junggar was alone in fighting against the four forces of Kazakhstan, Bukhara, Brut, and Yarkand. Now that my Great Qin has taken over the western part of the desert, we will inevitably have to face the remaining three forces.
According to the territory drawn by Your Majesty, the Ural Mountains, the Ural River, the Aral Sea, and then along the Amu Darya River to the Pamir Mountains, this large area will be included in the territory of Daqin. As long as we destroy the three khanates of Kazakhstan, Bukhara, and Brut, we will completely occupy the western territory drawn by Your Majesty. "
After hearing this, the generals felt a lot more relieved. In the past, the four khanates fought against Dzungar together, but Dzungar had the upper hand. Now even Dzungar was defeated by Qin. So, wouldn't it be easy to deal with the khanates that were even weaker than Dzungar
Su Jin warned the generals, "Don't be careless. The reason why the Junggars were able to claim the upper hand was that they had lived on the grasslands for generations and had a total force of 100,000. Our total force now only adds up to 30,000. It's a bit difficult to control such a vast area, so don't be careless."
"The general is right." The generals put away their smiles and returned to their serious state.
At Su Jin's suggestion, the staff officer Qian Da continued, "It is worth mentioning that the Ottoman Empire is a behemoth with a territory similar to that of our Qin Dynasty. After the Ottoman Empire destroyed the Byzantine Empire, its territory has expanded to the steppes of Eastern Europe, Vienna, the Caucasus, the Mediterranean coast, west of Egypt, both sides of the Red Sea, and both sides of the Persian Gulf. The territory is so large that it spans tens of thousands of miles.
Once we conquer the Khanates of Kazakhstan and Braha, we will have to face the huge Ottoman Empire directly. The Ottoman Empire is ruled by the Caliphate and combines politics and religion, which is what our Majesty hates the most.
This huge empire that believes in Islam will definitely not be unresponsive to our Great Qin entering Central Asia. At that time, I am afraid that there will be a fierce clash between the two empires. "
