To the north of Heilongjiang, the local Ewenki people were fishing by the river. At this moment, they suddenly heard a "bang bang" sound of Rakshasa musket shooting, and several people fell in a pool of blood.

The rapid sound of horse hooves came from far to near. In the blink of an eye, a group of Rakshasa cavalry riding tall horses, with red hair and green eyes, rushed over like a whirlwind.

"The Rakshasa people are here! The Rakshasa people are here!" A terrified shout sounded, and the tribes shouted in panic, turning around and fleeing into the tribe. Hundreds of men and women exploded, and they ran towards the tribe like frightened birds. Because hundreds of people were running in the same direction, many people were inevitably colliding and trampled onto the ground by their companions.

The Rakshasa people are fierce devils in the eyes of local people. Legend has it that they eat human hearts and livers, drink human blood, and especially like to eat children's hearts and livers.

The young and strong people who fled back to the tribe took out their hunting bows from their homes and launched a counterattack on the rushing Rakshasa cavalry.

The Rakshasa cavalry riding a tall Don hippo, wearing a thick cotton coat, and a layer of half-armored armor rushed over. The arrows shot from the Ewenk people's hunting bows were soft and shot on them, but they had no effect at all.

The range of the hunting bow was very close, but in just over thirty steps, the Ewenks shot out a round of arrows, and the Cossack cavalry rushed to them, waving the sabers, screaming one after another. The Ewenks who were counterattacking were chopped off one after another, knocked away by war horses, and trampled into meat paste.

More than a dozen Ewenk men bravely rushed towards the Cossack cavalry with spears in hand. However, they did not know how to fight in a formation. In the absence of an infantry with spears, they were no match for the cavalry.

When the Cossack cavalry was about to hit the spear, they turned slightly and avoided the spearhead. When the Ewenks turned their spearhead and stabbed them at the Cossack cavalry, the Cossack cavalry waved their sabers and gently knocked them on the spearhead. The sabers used the rushing force of the war horses to split the Ewenks into two pieces!

In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen young Ewenki were all cut into a pool of blood.

The rest of the Ewenk people hid in the thatched hut. The Cossack cavalry and the Rakshasa riding musketeers who followed behind came, jumped off their horses, lit torches, and began to set fire.

The dry thatched hut is easily ignited, and the flames rise and quickly turn into a raging fire. In a blink of an eye, all the thatched huts of the entire tribe were swallowed by the flames.

"Ah!" the Ewenk people cried and rushed out of the fired house.

"Bang bang bang" The Rakshasa soldiers who had already stood outside pulled the trigger, and the Ewenks who rushed out of the house fell one after another in pool of blood.

After the bullets, the Rakshasa soldiers pulled up the axe used to hold a gun from the ground, waved the axe, and chopped the Ewenks who rushed out. The Cossack cavalry who had taken off the horse also waved their sabers and chopped like crazy. Although the Ewenks made the final resistance, they were not the Rakshasa opponents armed to the teeth?

In this way, a tribe of the Ewenki people was slaughtered by the Rakshasa people, both men, women, young and old.

Xie Miao Nizhnioff sneered: "These damn barbarians, they dare to resist us! They originally wanted to leave their lives to build a castle for us, but who knew they would dare to resist? Then kill them all!"

A Rakshasa musketeer said, "We only want the ground, not the people!"

A Cossack cavalry said, "Yes, wherever our horses go, our land!"

The Rakshasa people counted the seized spoils, and the hunting bows and simple spears had no use to them, and they were discarded, leaving only animal skins, meat, fish, salt, tea and food. Then they continued to advance east along the river.

"This river is obviously an outflowing river. As long as we continue to move east along the river, we will definitely find the sea outlet." said a pastor who came with the expedition. The pastor was a pastor from Denmark and also explored with the Rakshasa people.

Xie Miao Nigerioff walked up to a big tree and looked at the sign on the tree, which was the sign left by the Rakshasa people before. He said worriedly: "But our previous expedition team has obviously been here, but they have not returned. I am only worried that when we see the sea, we may meet the Tatar army."

"Dear Mr. Nigeriov, we do not need to be afraid of the barbarians at all. In fact, the Tatars are not much better than the barbarians we conquered before," said a Cossack officer.

"Yes, Atirik, you said it right!" Xie Miao Nizhnioff lit his pipe, "We will go east and find a new outlet for our great empire! Even if there is a Tatar army ahead, we are not afraid!"

"This is a big river, so it's better to build a ship and go down the river." said the pastor.

"Building a ship? How long does it take? It may take several years to dry wood just? Where can we spend so much time here?" asked Xie Miao Nigerioff.

The pastor smiled and said, "It's not about building that kind of formal ship. It takes five years to build a ship. Even the simplest small sampan, it takes several years to dry the wood. What we build is just temporary ships, which will ensure that they won't fall apart within a few months. Anyway, after a few times, the ship will be demolished and built the castle. When the castle is completed, we have a fixed stronghold and then slowly build the ship."

The wood for shipbuilding needs to be soaked in water, then fished and dried before it can be used to build a ship. If you use the wood that has just been cut down to build a ship, after the ship is built, the wood will deform and the ship will fall apart after being soaked in the water for a period of time. However, now the Rakshasa people do not need formal ships. As long as the ship can be dealt with temporarily, they can directly use the wood cut down to build a wooden castle. Anyway, after using it a few times, they will have to be demolished to build a wooden castle.

The Rakshasa people began to take action, cutting down wood to build simple ships. A few days later, several boats that could only be used a few times were launched. Then the Rakshasa people boarded the boat and went down the Heilongjiang River.

The expedition team arrived at the northward turning to the northernmost point of Heilongjiang, where the Rakshasa people asked the captive Daurs and learned that the place was called Yakshasa in the Jurchen.

"This location is pretty good, you can control the Amur River." said Semy Nigerioff.

The Amur River is the Russian name of Heilongjiang.

Li Hong and a Qing army were stationed here at the Miao Street at the mouth of Heilongjiang River. In fact, this place belongs to the Qing Dynasty in name only. There are only some Jurchens in the local area, no real Eight Banners, no Mongolians, and there are no other Han people here except for the several Jinyiwei in Li Hong's team.

Li Hong's army was just a nominal Qing army, that is, the Ming army dressed in the Qing army. However, most of the soldiers in his team were Jurchens, and there were also a very small number of Han and Mongolians.

The Qing Dynasty was not very interested in this land. If Li Hong had not defeated a group of Rakshasa people who had circled around the north a few years ago, Sakhalin Island would have been occupied by the Rakshasa people. Li Hong had also submitted many reports to the court, but Dorgon ignored these bitter and cold places.

But Li Guodong did not forget him. The Ming Dynasty's colonial fleet passed by four times and sent him a batch of flintlock rifles, even the most advanced rifled rifles. Other weapons were mainly powerful crossbows.

The reason why Li Guodong did not provide Li Hong and the others with excellent armor was because the armor could not stop the heavy convex guns and axes of the Rakshasa people. It was not very meaningful to wear armor except that it became more bulky.

"Let's go upstream and take a look." said a Qing army light cavalry carrying a flintlock rifle.

"Let's go!" A group of Qing soldiers carrying muskets and crossbows galloped towards the middle of Heilongjiang.
