"No big problem!"

On the march, Grand Duke Belisky, who accepted the deposed fate, still maintained the majesty and optimism of the ministers who were in charge of their lives.

He said to the young nobles who followed him on the road: "Don't be afraid of being timid, be brave, the Don robbers can easily break their capital. There is no reason why six thousand real good warriors cannot do it."

"Although Yermac failed, the achievements that Cortis and Pizarro have established for Spain in the New World will be done by us as the Tsar in the East!"

Grand Duke Beliski's ancestors were Lithuanians. Although his family did not have a long history in Tsarist Russia, in fact, the entire Tsarist Russia had not had a long history. Tsarist Russia only appeared in this world thirty-seven years ago.

In this not-to-date history, the Beliski family shed enough blood for the Tsar. Thirteen years ago, when Krim Khan attacked Moscow, most of the family members died in the war.

Even now, as the leader of the five life-responsible ministers with the lowest influence, Grand Duke Beliski still retains loyalty that others do not cherish.

Loyalty to the dead Ivan IV.

He believed that when he returned to Moscow with the glory of conquering the East, Fealdo, the heir set by Ivan IV, had ascended the throne of the Tsar, the endless Siberia would be his greatest honor to the Tsar.

At this moment, Grand Duke Belisky did not know that in another history, Tsarist Russia will soon go through a thirty-year period of Tsar vacancy, with people fighting for power and fighting each other.

Three of the families of the five desperate ministers will become the Tsar. Internal disputes will make the Tsar lose authority and farmers face alien rule. Sweden, Lithuania, Germany and Poland will support their own Tsar to rule the vastest land in Europe.

Now, with a desire for victory that is within reach, Grand Duke Belisky led his troops to sing folk songs on both sides of the Don River, and happily drove towards the land of the Strokanov family.

The aristocratic young men who received the comfort of the governor and yearned for the establishment of achievements were no longer afraid. They proudly believed that if the robbers of the Don River could defeat the Siberian Khanate, they would definitely be able and do better.

After all, they have many advantages over those Cossack robbers.

They carried muskets made from England, and even had a batch of mesh guns with the Chinese logos made from the Eastern style, cannons forged by German craftsmen, Bohemian gunpowder, and high-quality Torredo Spanish-style steel swords produced from the Netherlands, armed to the teeth.

The Russians did not know that the well-made mesh rope guns were made by the Ming Dynasty, but only knew that this was a kind of mesh rope gun from England, which was marked by the Tudor royal family.

In the process of purchasing military equipment before the aristocratic young people outside Moscow went to the front line, English muskets will always be their best companion.

The price of a single unsupported musket is twelve complete rabbit skins; the price of a supportive musket is two horses; and there is also a large-caliber mesh rope for three rolls of sheepskin.

The best thing is the musket with the Tudor royal seal. Its lethality is not as large as the previous large-caliber musket, but it is well-made. Apart from the fire opening strips, there is almost no need to worry about the problem of other muskets requiring maintenance after firing three shots.

This musket is the most beautiful, the most exquisite workmanship, and naturally the most expensive, requiring three sheets of marten fur.

In fact, these noble young men who fought with the army probably didn't know that none of the four English muskets in their consciousness were made in England until they died.

The low-quality musket without stents were made in Poland, the two horses had stents made in Portugal, the large-caliber musket was imitated by the Dutch, and the one with the Tudor royal seal was made in the Eastern Military Office of the Ming Dynasty.

The Moscow company in England purchased these things from various merchants through various channels, including German Shenluo's cannons, Bohemian gunpowder, Dutch imitation steel swords, and French plate armor, all sold to Tsarist Russia in the name of England.

In exchange for valuable fur, it will be processed and then sold back to merchants from all over Europe.

For Tsarist Russia, the 12th year of Wanli was the first time when the British maritime merchants were unable to see all kinds of rare goods.

Everyone missed those profiteers a little and guessed what good things they would bring next time they came over.

When Beliski led an army of more than 6,000 people, as well as more attendants, slaves and merchants than the army, after a long journey into the land of the largest landlord in Tsarist Russia, the eastern salt merchant Stroganov family, they were greeted by a young man named Kaye.

A relative of the side branch who was trusted by Gregory Stroganov, who was also the steward of the Stroganov family in the upper reaches of the Kama River.

"It is not a good time for the governor to come. The Tatar tribes of the East attacked our territory. The west of the Ural Mountains were full of deserters and wounded men. It is my luck that they did not interfere with your march."

Under Kaye's guidance, they came to the upper reaches of the Kama River, where the land granted to the Stroganov family twenty-eight years ago by Tsar Ivan IV, allowing them to recruit militias to protect the occupied land and serve as a starting point for the eastward invasion of the Siberian Khanate.

People call this Sorikam. It was originally a business station and its name was related to the Stroganov family's salt field by the White Sea. It later became the family's base camp in the western part of the Ural Mountains.

Defense has also been further strengthened, becoming a wooden wall town with a very Tsarist Russian style today.

Kaye took the governor and several generals to the spacious wooden house, and the servants brought honey wine. Outside the house, the chef was baking the newly hunted wild boars, and most of the nobles took their attendants into Sorikam for a short rest.

"Since last year, the militias hired have been defeating wars in the East, and the furs have not been collected this year. I don't know what the Tatars are going crazy. Since four months ago, militia battalions everywhere have said that the Tatars are heading west."

When Kaye mentioned the Tatars, his expression always showed a strong disdain.

The Governor Belisky knew what the role of the Stroganov family was. They were not nobles, but they only enjoyed the power to recruit soldiers to protect the land. Their soldiers were not recruited by nobles, nor were they like regular soldiers. They had the same identity as the imperial merchants and were the Tsar's money bags.

Kaye used very accurately the words of those family troops, militia.

Their land is not taxed, and they have a lot of effort to summon helpers. Polish riders who look for jobs, Germanic swordsmen, and Cossacks on the Ukrainian grasslands can all seek shelter here and protect the land from the threat of the Tatars.

The Governor had no interest in the losses of the Stroganov family. He just asked, "How many Tatars are there? I heard they have 300,000."

"I have also heard of such rumors, but now no one knows how many of them are. After Yermak's failure, we lost contact with the east and could only rely on the attacked village to guess the enemy's movements."

"I am here to protect your territory, so you must send troops." The governor's words were unquestionable: "How many people are there in Stroganov?"

Kaye raised his head and thought for a while, agreed readily, and said, "If I fight in the eastern part of Ural Mountain, I can send 400 soldiers... If I am in the western part."

He paused and said, "We have at least four hundred Seches to provide support to the army everywhere."
