According to Emperor Chongzhen's memory, among the Tsarist Russian oil fields, the most abundant reserves are the Qiuming Oilfield, which is in the basin east of the Ural Mountains.

At this time, there were actually very few people here, and there were not many Tsarist Russian troops. It can be said that the area east of the Ural Mountains has not been valued by Tsarist Russia. Since their tentacles that extended to the Far East were cut off by the Ming army, there were even fewer traces in the east.

From this point of view, it was actually relatively simple for the Ming army to occupy this place.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's plan was not just to occupy the Qiuming Oilfield. Because the terrain of the Ural Mountains was gentle in the west and steep in the east. If this was the boundary in the future, it would be difficult for the Ming army to defend.

Therefore, the original intention of Emperor Chongzhen to Hong Chengchou was that the Ming army would explore further, at least to the Volga River Basin. If possible, it would be fine to move westward, because there was also an oil and gas field on this plain. But this was not forced.

If the border dispute cannot be dealt with fiercely, then the frictions about the border will continue. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty and Tsarist Russia will inevitably have to fight. As for where to choose to fight, Hong Chengchou has the final say.

I have learned about it many times in advance, and of course Hong Chengchou had already selected a location according to his will. The place he chose was Samara Fort on the east bank of the Volga River.

This Samara Fort was built by Tsarist Russia at the end of the 16th century to guard against the invasion of nomadic peoples. Here, it already has certain defensive capabilities.

Hong Chengchou led a large army and came in a mighty manner. The cavalry on the outpost advanced even more quickly, making the Tsarist Russian troops here not have time to escape, let alone destroying them, and they would be surrounded.

When Hong Chengchou led the army to arrive, after the red cannons from one branch came to the front of the formation, Samara Fort fired a white flag. There were only more than 1,000 people in total, and there was no possibility of resistance.

"From the future, this place will be called Fort Minway!" Ascending to the highest point of the castle and looking at the Eastern European plains, Hong Chengchou ordered the name change.

Subsequently, the army and subsequent civilians began to expand Fort Minway.

………………………………………

The original large tribe of the Weila tribe, called the Turkut tribe, was nomadic decades ago and eventually arrived in the Volga River Basin. A small number of Dulbert tribes, the Hoshuot tribe and other tribes belonging to the Weila tribe.

However, after they moved to the Volga River Basin, they did not live a happy life.

Tsarist Russia in the north often goes south to harass, buys fur at low prices, and dumps goods at high prices. In short, it is just thinking of various ways to squeeze them out. In the south, on the east bank of the Volga River Basin, it is often attacked by the Kazakh Khanate; on the west bank of the Volga River Basin, it is often attacked by the Crimean Khanate. In general, life is still very hard.

If they had developed according to the original historical development, they would not be able to withstand this invasion. In the 18th century, tribes on the east coast would return to the Yili area and become vassals of the Qing Dynasty. These tribes who returned to the east had more than 30,000 households and more than 170,000 people, but in just a few months, half of them died on their way back under the pursuit of the Tsarist Russian army.

In addition, because of poor communication with the Western tribes, the most important thing is that the Volga River did not freeze at that time, so the Western tribes failed to travel and eventually became serfs of Tsarist Russia.

On this day, when the great khan of the Turkut tribe heard the reports from his subordinates, he couldn't help but be furious: "They are really bullying people!"

He was really angry. After the tribe moved to the Volga River Basin, in addition to grazing, he also reclaimed farmland and diverted water to irrigate to make up for the lack of grazing. However, unexpectedly, when the harvest was about to be harvested, the two khanates in the south almost sent troops to burn, kill and rob.

"Father Khan, why don't you ask the Tsar for help?" Seeing that Ponchuk Khan was so angry, his son, Ayuqi, who was already fifteen or sixteen, immediately suggested.

Nominally, they were allied with Tsarist Russia.

When Pengchuk heard this, he looked at his childish son and couldn't help but shouted: "What do you think the Tsar is? That's a wolf that is not fed. Can you swallow all our tribes if you know?"

What made him even more unbearable was that the Tsar stipulated that the words "slave" and "subject" must be used in the memorials given to him by Turgut Khan. This is not an ally, it is simply regarded as a slave, and it is even worse than a slave. He tried every means to exploit the Turgut tribe.

After Ayuqi was scolded by his father Khan, he lowered his head and said nothing. When he was young, he was ultimately invincible to the strong. Among the surrounding forces, Tsarist Russia is the strongest, so he has the most favorable impressions.

Ponchuck had high hopes for this son. Therefore, he simply stopped spoiling him and told his son all the cruel reality, including the exploits of Tsarist Russia, to point out how he was drinking blood nakedly behind the deals.

Ayuqi didn't expect that it would be like this. He was furious and blushed. He said to Pengchuk angrily: "Father Khan, let's go back!"

Hearing this, Ponchuk did not reply immediately, but showed a deep thoughtful look. After a while, he said, "It is not only our Turgut tribe who suffered from Tsarist Russia, but also the same is true for the Don River Cossacks in the west. If they can unite them together, there may be hope."

In the original history, about ten years later, the Cossacks of the Don River were the first to endure the oppression of Tsarist Russia. Under the leadership of Stepan Racine, the Turkut tribes on both sides of the Volga River responded, which was a famous uprising in history.

However, it failed in the end. According to the experience summarized by later generations, it is: the spontaneity of peasant uprisings, the limitations and dispersibility of their actions, lack of centralized and unified command, the leaders repeatedly make strategic mistakes, and have fantasies about the Tsar; the rebel army is not as good as the Tsarist Russian army in military terms, and the equipment of the rebel army is much worse than that of the Tsarist Russian army; their military qualities are poor and their discipline is not strict.

At this moment, after Ponchuck finished speaking, he finally sighed, obviously not optimistic. For them, Tsarist Russia is too powerful!

Suddenly, he turned to look at Dongfang, frowned and said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Ayuqi turned to look east, but couldn't see anything. Finally, he couldn't help asking, "Father Khan, what are you looking at?"

"I heard that the east side and our ancestral land have undergone earth-shaking changes. If we move back, I wonder if it will be better than the current life?" Peng Chuk heard about the things in the east side, but it was too far away and there were all kinds of news, which made it a little difficult for him to distinguish.

Some say that Gushi Khan has led his troops to Qinghai-Tibet, and his power has increased greatly; but some say that the Junggar tribe is ambition to annex all other tribes; there are even rumors that the emperor of the country has personally led the expedition and destroyed the entire Junggar tribe...

Haha, how is this possible? Although I have never dealt with the Ming Kingdom, my father said that the Ming Emperor was only two generations of emperors who founded the country, but when it was the third or fourth generation, he was beaten and wiped out by the Mongolian ancestors, and even the emperor himself was captured. From then on, the Ming Emperor never came out in his palace again. How could he be so powerful?

Thinking of this, Pengchuk's mind was about to go to Gushikhan. After all, Gushikhan was a famous khan and was once the common khan of their tribes.

However, if you want to move one family, it is definitely not an easy task! If possible, who wants to leave your hometown?

He was thinking, and suddenly, he heard Ayuqi scream: "Father Khan, someone is here!"

Hearing this, Pengchuk looked up along the point of his son and saw a cavalry rushing towards the grassland in the distance.

This is the core of the Turkut tribe. It is impossible for the cavalry of other forces to come like this, and they can only come under his leadership.

Looking at the redness of the cavalry, Ponchuck couldn't help but frown, thinking in his heart: Come from the north, look at the clothes, it is not from the Tsarist Russian army or from his own tribe. Where would it be the "guest"?

At this time, he really had to ask a question about the guests. Including Tsarist Russia, they were actually not guests, but evil people!

Or it was about to reach the king's tent, and a cavalry left the team and rushed over.

Pengchuk's guards were naturally also wary of the cavalry outside and the cavalry were released as soon as they were in contact.

As they were close, Pengchuk naturally recognized that the man who was speeding over was one of his confidants. It seemed as if there was something so happy that he was almost smiling. He couldn't help but snorted, "How happy are you?"

At this moment, the man had already speeded up and stopped the horse. Before the front hooves of the war horse fell, he couldn't wait to jump off the horse. He took a few steps and reported to Pengchuk: "Khan, the distinguished guest is here, Khan, the distinguished guest is here..."

While speaking, he pointed at the cavalry behind him that had slowed down and approached.

"What distinguished guest?" Seeing him like this, Pengchuk became even more depressed and immediately shouted coldly.

As for the current situation of the Turgut tribe, where did the distinguished guests come from?

A Yuqi next to him was also very curious and couldn't help but interrupt, "Where did you come from the distinguished guest?"

"Ming Army, the Ming cavalry!" the man replied quickly, "They have occupied the Samara Fort."

"..." Hearing this, both Ayuqi and Ponchuk were shocked and then stunned.

The legendary Ming army actually came here and captured Samara Fort. Are they so powerful?

Pengchuk quickly came to his senses, but he was not much happy. The Ming army came, so what? Even if they beat the hungry wolf away, who knows if it is a tiger?
