Chapter 356 The Eastern Bandit
Above the Yakutsk fortress, a white flag made of white clothes was hoisted.The Cossacks never dreamed that they would encounter a fully armed opponent on the eastern wasteland, and could only use their clothes as a banner of surrender.

"Sir, they finally gave up their resistance and surrendered to us!" The members of the pioneer group who had been tossing for seven days and seven nights cried out in surprise when they saw the white flag over Yakutsk Castle.

"Have these wolf cubs finally given up their resistance!" He Yi, who was resting aside with bloodshot eyes, immediately got up from the ground.

This deadlocked battle finally came to an end.

The Cossacks in the castle threw their muskets out, and then raised their hands up to show that they would no longer resist.Dmitry sat under the white flag, staring at the furs they looted along the way with complicated eyes.

With this surrender, the furs and treasures will not be theirs.

The soldiers of the frontier regiment approached the castle cautiously with muskets in hand, and began to collect the spoils.

"Good guy, these people actually have five or six hundred furs, and they robbed a lot of them along the way!" The members of the Pioneering Group found more furs on the Cossacks' carriage than they had traded, and grinned while cursing. laughed.

"Damn, it's much faster to be a robber than we are to trade!" He Yi also became jealous, five or six hundred precious furs, this is an unimaginable wealth.At the very least, the members of their Pioneering Group can get a huge share of it.

"If it wasn't for the military leader who said that the Siberian Plain would be part of our Chinese territory in the future, we should try our best to win over the local natives, otherwise we would probably just rob them like them. There is nothing valuable in the wasteland, and the only valuable things are these furs. Already!" an officer of the Pioneering Regiment agreed.

"Big mistake." Chen Xiaode disagreed with them.

"Chen Xiaode, you said, what is faster than directly grabbing the furs of the natives?" He Yi vigorously touched a precious white bear skin among the furs.

"In my opinion, there are three disadvantages of robbing the natives. First, these natives are scattered in thousands of miles of wasteland. It is very difficult and time-consuming to find them. Second, if the natives are angered, they will Ambushing us with familiar terrain, we will inevitably cause unnecessary casualties. And the third point, looting will bring family feuds, this kind of hatred is penetrating, and we will become their enemies." Chen Xiaode said shaking his head.

"What you said makes sense, but is there a way to get more fur than this?" He Yi asked.

"Of course it's a robbery." Chen Xiaode said.

"You just said that there are three major disadvantages in robbing the natives, why do you want to rob again?" He Yi was puzzled.

"My robbing doesn't mean robbing the natives, but robbing these robbing natives. It's black and white. You see, these five or six hundred furs must have been snatched by them over the years. We can kill them in one battle. The results are obtained without offending the natives. Could it be that there is a faster way than getting the fur?" Chen Xiaode said.

"You kid is pretending to be mysterious. Who doesn't know. Haha, you are right. We only need to trade and rob these Cossack adventure teams. This year's dividends will be no one. Maybe it will be better than conquering the southeast coast. Earn more." He Yi said excitedly.

In addition to furs and some silver coins, the soldiers of the Pioneering Regiment also found something more valuable than furs in the Cossack camp.

"Leader, look what this is, we've made a lot of money!" A search soldier held a stack of papers in his hand.

"What surprised you so much?" He Yi took a look at the top paper, his eyes widened, and then took out other papers one after another, and quickly scanned them, "This...these are things we haven't explored yet. Part of the map of the central and western parts of the Siberian Plain, and their communication lines and supply stations are marked, this is a good thing!"

On the map drawn by the Cossacks, characters that He Yi could not understand were used, but the basic map elements such as the line segments of the map could be seen at a glance.

"Okay, with these maps, we can grab all the way to Europe!" He Yi's hands were trembling. He seemed to see that Maozi's supply stations along the way had all fallen into the hands of the Pioneering Group, and their furs and silver coins had also fallen into the hands of the Pioneering Group. Into the money bag of the Pioneering Group.

Dmitry and the other Cossack captives saw soldiers claiming to be from the Eastern Empire devouring their bags. Where there was any behavior of the imperial guards of the Eastern Emperor, they were probably just an adventure team similar to them.

"Damn Orientals, we have surrendered, let us go back!" Dmitry shouted.

"What is this Cossack talking about?" Chen Xiaode asked the person in charge of communicating with these Cossacks, seeing that the man who was obviously the leader of the Cossacks was yelling in the language of Eastern Europe.

"Sir, he wants us to let them go." The pioneer group communicated with the Cossacks in Mongolian and Turkic.

"Hmph, it's a little restless to be prisoners. Tell them, not only have they invaded our eastern territory, but all the supply stations and transportation routes on their maps have fallen on our territory. We need them to give us Lead the way and recover the territories they have occupied." Chen Xiaode drew a large circle on the big map drawn by the Cossacks, "These places are our eastern territories."

Dmitry watched the arrogant oriental man draw a big circle on the map, and heard the meaning of the oriental man translated by his Cossack companion, his eyes widened: "The robber, the robber of the East This circle almost encloses the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. According to them, the entire Moskva River is an inland river to their east! This is clearly a rascal and a robber!"

"Shameless and despicable Eastern bandits, they are too arrogant!" The rest of the Cossacks thought that Chen Xiaode was deliberately teasing them, and they all cursed with jealousy.

Chen Xiaode actually didn't know where these places were. He only knew that the Siberian Plain was huge. According to Chu Yun's instructions, when claiming sovereignty, he should try to claim as many places as possible. Anyway, he would not suffer.Who knew that Chen Xiaode's random circle included the entire Tsarist Russia, and even circled many places in Eastern Europe...

Those who don't know are fearless, Chen Xiaode is not ashamed at all because he made a mistake.

"What are they talking about, why are they so angry?" Chen Xiaode asked.

"Deputy head, they are calling you... a bandit..." said the pioneer group member who knew Turkic.

"You're still so arrogant even though you're a prisoner, calling me a bandit? I'm going to show them our bandit methods today." Chen Xiaode, a literati-born staff officer, rolled up his sleeves and said angrily.
