November 1650 CE

The Yakutsk voivode Frantsbekov decides, given the time delays in communicating with Moscow, to act on his own and sends Khabarov back south with a larger force.

The voivode also gives Khabarov letters from His Majesty Czar Alexis to the Daurian Prince Lavkai of Albazin and "Prince Bogdoi", asking these potentates to submit to the Russian Czar, and threatening to send a six thousand-strong army if they don't obey.

Frantsbekov assumed that this Prince Bogdoy is another Siberian chieftain.

He is, in fact, the Emperor of China.

Khabarov crosses the mountains in the fall of 1650 and this time is met with armed resistance.

He builds winter quarters at Albazin at the northernmost point of the Amur.
