In fact, the Russian army could have fought to the northeast earlier.

The reason why it delayed for decades was that their king had lost his inheritance.

The king of Russia called himself Tsar, which is the Latin word "Caiser".

In 1453 AD, four years after the Tumu Fort Incident, another famous fort fell into the land. Constantinople was finally captured by the Ottoman Empire, and the Eastern Roman Empire, which had a thousand-year-old country, was destroyed.

Later, Sophia, the last princess of Eastern Roman who was exiled to the West, married the Grand Duke of Moscow Ivan III under the order of the Pope. Later, the Duke of Moscow regarded himself as the heir of the Eastern Roman Empire. The Grand Duke began to call himself Tsar, named Tsar Russia, and began to rule the Central Group.

Tsarist Russia regarded the Byzantine double-headed eagle brought by Sophia as the national emblem, claiming to be the third Rome, so the orthodox Romans are still in Moscow...

Back to the point, Tsarist Russia made great progress in the hands of Ivan III and his son Vasily III, and his grandson Ivan IV, the famous Ivan Thunder Emperor.

However, the Ivan-Thunder Emperor died in 1584, the 12th year of Wanli.

However, his heir, Fealdo, not only had intellectual defects, but also had weak physical strength, and would be exhausted when standing for a long time. Not to mention dealing with the government affairs, even major celebrations and ceremonies could not be completed. Therefore, the power of the state was controlled by the Minister of Responsible Gortonov.

After Godonov believed that the time was ripe, in 1598, the 26th year of Wanli, the idiot Tsar who had no descendants was poisoned, and the Liurik dynasty was extinct.

Subsequently, after being elected by the All-Russian Gentleman Conference, Godonov was elected as the new Tsar. However, he broke the long-standing concept of the divine authority of the monarch and made the concept of the Tsar no longer sacred. To become a Tsar, there is no need to pass on the royal family from generation to generation, and the son inherited the father's throne. No matter the origin, everyone can win the title. The main rule is that only the strong occupies it.

This opened up a long period of civil war and turbulent Russia. After Godonov, no one of the several tsars died well, and even had a long "vacancies". It was not until the 41st year of Wanli that the establishment of the Romanov dynasty began to improve.

Therefore, Tsarist Russia is about to enter a period of chaotic and weakening, and has to slow down its pace of invasion in the east.

As a result, it was not until 1648, the second year of Yongli, and the fifth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, that Russians arrived at the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Bering Strait, and completed the expedition to the Pacific Ocean.

In 1651, they arrived in Lake Baikal and built the city of Irkutsk. However, the greedy Russians were not satisfied and continued to invade the northeast outside our country and established many military strongholds on both sides of the Heilongjiang River, the largest of which was the city of Yaquesa.

After establishing a military existence, the Russians began to assimilate local ethnic groups with a familiarity. The resistance of ethnic minorities on China's border gradually developed into a head-on conflict between the governments of China and Russia. The Battle of Jaxar eventually broke out, and the two countries signed the Treaty of Nibchu, which temporarily curbed the Russian army's invasion of Chinese territory south of the Xing'an Mountains.

But at that time, the Russians had eaten up tens of millions of square kilometers of land north of the Outer Xing'an Mountains.

In fact, the Russians invested very limited troops in the Far East. Even in the Second Battle of Jaxa, the Russian army had less than a thousand troops.

This is normal. Before the railway was built, they had no ability to project too much troops to faraway Asia. Tsarist Russia's unprecedented vast eastern territory was entirely traversed by Cossack cavalry with super mobile capabilities and full survivability!

In 1581 AD, in the ninth year of Wanli, the Cossack leader Yermak led only 840 Cossack cavalry to cross the Ural Mountains and began to invade Siberia as if he was entering a no-man's land!

Because the entire Siberian Ming Dynasty called it "Ruo Wilderness", it was a completely unguarded land that no one robbed. From afar, the Cossack cavalry crossing mountains and ridges could be leveled, and the distance was closer. In front of him was a flat Liaodong cavalry, which was completely unreasonable and could not be leveled!

This is how history is. Sometimes it will put opportunities in front of you, depending on how much you can eat.

But after passing through this village, there will be no such store. If you send it to your mouth like Dameng and Daiqing, you will vomit it out, and if you want to eat it, you will have to pay a thousand times the price and grab food from others.

So after repeated consideration, Zhao Hao decided that I would like to have it all. Even if I can't digest it for a while, I can just leave it in my cheek capsule like a monkey and leave it for my descendants to digest it slowly. People are transformed by monkeys, and it is not embarrassing to learn from monkeys.

This requires Zhao Hao to unite all the forces that can be united and send them out.

At present, the Siberian Khanate has disappeared, and Tsarist Russia is about to enter a long civil war, and it is too late to take care of itself, and there is no more enemy to fight in the entire Luo wilderness.

I’m sorry for God if I don’t seize this rare window of history!

Therefore, Zhao Hao decided to promote Li Chengliang's Liaodong Iron Cavalry's expedition to the west. Even if this would turn them into real warlords and turn the Liaodong King into Siberian King, it would be a hundred times better than if the Russians fought to the bank of the Heilongjiang River in decades!

Moreover, according to the analysis and judgment of the General Staff, if the Li family army really wants to embark on the Western Expedition, it will be even more inseparable from the support of the mainland. It is hard to say that Zhao Hao has to bring Lao Xier to truly digest Siberia.

Old Xier and Ningyuan Bo Li Chengliang went westward to occupy "Xibo Li Ya". It was really a perfect match.

Just think about the decisive battle between the Liaodong Iron Cavalry and the Cossack Cavalry in the Siberian Plain, Zhao Hao felt very touching...

Of course, it is not possible to do the job of Tong Lao Li, so that he can give up Liaodong and make up his mind to go west.

No matter what, at least in front of Zhao Hao, Li Chengliang was really ignited.

Although Lao Li is now ignited by Zhao Hao, he wishes he could start the Western Expedition. But Zhao Hao has been dealing with the old foxes for half his life. How could he not know that these guys are all actors? If you want to believe the true and false performances, you will lose.

The key depends on how he does it.

But he couldn't help but Li Chengliang and Zhao Hao were so persistent in asking Qi Jiguang to go to Liaodong? It was not just to realize his personal complex of "Qi Jiguang crossed the sea to attack the Japanese". The deeper purpose was to drive the Li family army out of Liaodong and force them to march northwest!

But we can't just threaten, we also need to tempt. Zhao Hao proposed to form a Northwest Company, with Jiangnan Group and Xishan Group each accounting for 30%. The remaining shares will be divided by Lao Xier and Li Jiajun, and we will work together to develop Xibo Li.

Yes, Zhao Hao also told Li Chengliang that Siberia should be renamed "Xiber Li" and used this strong hint to inspire Lao Li's dream of expedition to the West.

Because Siberia was unable to accept immigrants in the Little Ice Age, which was of no benefit to Zhao Hao's century-old immigration, so his main energy still had to be focused on the Southeast Asian countries. When he had spare time, he would develop the Americas...

Later, India and Africa were queuing up, and it was not the turn of developing Siber Li within a hundred years. That was a gift for future generations...
