Secchi is the Cossack Autonomous Camp.

Cossacks are a way of life, and they form tribes based on their own will, while merchant families in the Ural region rely on them to protect the occupied land.

In the western part of the mountain range where it had been in operation for more than 20 years, the trees were large and deep roots; in the eastern part of the mountain range, its power was almost destroyed during the Ming army's western expedition.

When the Yermak's Cossack robbers attacked every Tatar tribe they saw, it was unstoppable; the situation now is extremely similar, because they have considerable commonality.

For example, although living in the four battles, each village tribe is an independent individual, and he always encounters enemies of similar sizes and similar skills. He never thought that he would be attacked by unknown enemies when he encountered them.

From the end of March of the 12th year of Wanli, the Ming army, who advanced westward, walked out of the border of the Siberian Khanate and entered the land of the ancient Principal of Perm.

The troops that appeared here were mainly composed of the troops of Kuchukhan, who were eager for revenge, and the Mongolian, Turkic and Kazakh herders who surrendered from all over the country, and they first passed through the Ural Mountains and investigated the west.

Now their country is called Shibier, and Kuchukhan was granted the title of Chief Governor Tongzhi.

Because Kuchu Khan was old, deaf and blind, Qi Jiguang did not ask the Khan to follow the battle, but sent his son to the Yili Du Commander Office with the tribute, and was taken to Beijing by the garrison to meet the sage.

Kuchu Khan, with the carefully selected Prime Minister of the Western Army, commanded and ordered Lu Guangzu to rebuild the country, raise horses and cultivate fields and resume production, in order to cope with the increasingly complex environment in the future and do a good job in the barriers of the Ming Dynasty.

The general officer of this nomadic army of Thibier was the chief commander of the capital, Kalachak, who directly under the command of more than 2,000 Thibier infantry and cavalry; there was also a deputy general, who was a commander who had made contributions to the city and was in charge of more than 1,000 infantry and cavalry.

Below these two people, there were thirty-six small groups of scattered cavalry, and twelve twelve troops combined with 6,513 troops; if not twelve troops registered, the official records included a large number of more than 9,000 troops.

Taking advantage of the heavy snow in winter, Qi Jiguang's troops registered the entire army. By spring, except for Qi, the Ming official army led by Dong, registered 160,000 troops under the jurisdiction of the army, and nearly 70,000 have not been registered.

The number of family members registered with the soldiers was 200,000. It was not that Qi Jiguang didn't want to create a complete military registration, but they could not be said to be an army anymore.

It is more like a migrating city. People are born every day, some die every day, some follow each other every day, and some settle in the local area every day. Under the changing numbers, the statistical tools and methods of this era are not enough to satisfy Qi Jiguang's idea of ​​establishing a complete military citizenship.

Seeing the seasons change and the military situation is urgent, the soldiers have to continue to march with speed, so as to cross the Ural Mountains before the arrival of the Rakshasa Kingdom's anti-epidemic forces and famine, and arrive at a fertile land where people cultivate it.

Karacha and Ebay had thirty-six tribes under their command, including men, women, old and young, and brought their own swords and bows. In name, they were receiving scouts. In fact, there were also the idea of ​​Ebay wanting these poor and weak soldiers to leave the army for the time being and eat with the enemy.

Nearly 20,000 infantry and cavalry swept through all the tribes along the road like locusts. Everything that stood in front of them, whether it was the vicious and war-tested Cossacks, or the well-equipped and well-equipped commercial station mercenaries, were all wrapped in dust.

The city defenses everywhere in Muzhai are vulnerable, and the vast land and sparsely populated environment make no settlement here unable to resist the nomadic riders coming like the tide.

Chief Karacha only seeks revenge, while Kebai has a clearer plan.

During the long and tense march, he split the troops and reorganized them into hundreds of Quanyong General Banners. The size of these Quanyong teams is about fifty people and can also be divided into small flags.

Each Quanyong General Banner Team guarantees at least two Ming troops with listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in Chinese, twenty submission troops, and twenty or thirty submission troops who are not included in the organization.

Whenever the troops of Khalacha and Kalacha captured a stronghold, the Kalacha people would question the survivors and surrendered soldiers, grasp the surrounding environment and the news of the settlement, and then send vanguard scouts to investigate the situation. At the same time, someone sent this information to the rear.

It was not Qi Jiguang, but Qi Jiguang and Dong Yiyuan were even further backwards. The ones who were in charge of the vanguard of the Western Army were Zhu Yu and Dong Chang'an.

When the locust-like scouts set off, the camp left a Quanyong General Banner Team or Quanyong Small Banner Team according to the size of the camp, stayed here to repair the camp, and respond to the army behind and name the place where they lived.

The names usually start with the surname of Ming soldiers, put the flag in the middle, and end with the characters of camp, village, treasury, fort, village, etc. There is no need to do anything else, just erect a boundary monument on the nearby road.

With the boundary marker, the Beiyang Army scouts running over behind will silently mark this place name on the map, such as Liuqiying, Wangqizhuang, Zhangqibao, etc.

When the Ming army passed by later, their families would be transferred to take over, supervise, and participate in the work of the surrendered people, and each would reclaim their land.

As for whether Qi Jiguang and Dong Yiyuan will make arrangements for these small flags of the General Banner or make other arrangements, it is not within the scope of consideration of Huobai. As long as he does this, he will be considered to have exceeded the task.

Because his mission was not like this, the huge force of nearly 20,000 infantry and cavalry of the scouts passed through the mountains. In fact, there was only one main mission, which was to actually control the most easily blocked terrain and try to occupy the land westward.

Even if they meet the enemy, they must be restrained so that the subsequent Dong Chang'ang, Baohua and others have the opportunity to release the largest number of troops on the vast plains.

Otherwise, if a war starts on the narrow and long official road in the southern Ural Mountains, it is clear that the superior force will become a disadvantage in a flash.

The troops behind cannot move forward, and the troops in front are blocked and trampled on each other, and a defeat will be a blink of an eye.

Even if they were not defeated and blocked for three months, the environment south of the Ural Mountains was not enough to support this huge migrant force. They had hundreds of thousands of troops on the books, but in fact, it was like walking on thin ice for Qi Jiguang. It was even better to feel at ease when the 70,000 troops rushed out of the Yili Du Commander Command.

Fortunately, until the Chusovaya River, a tributary of the Kama River, Khabi did not meet anyone who could be called an opponent. The biggest trouble for them was not the people, but the swamp wetlands caused by the rise of the river surface in spring to both sides of the river.

But when they walk west along the road a little further, the trouble of worship will come.

The so-called trouble is not Perm on the other side of the river or the garrison troops in the north of the two hundred miles, opposite Sorikam in the north, and the Hexi forces were more than 6,000, led by Grand Duke Beliski.

But the river, Kama River.

The ice melted and the snow soared, the river water surged, and the Kama River, which is more than ten miles wide.
