General Shin Ryu's 1658 diary, the first written account of a meeting between Russians and Koreans
...... The Qing-Korean coalition killed Stepanov and captured more than 300 large and small muskets. Despite the fact that the North Koreans demanded to share the captured weapons with them, Sharhuda did not give them any share......
The Chinese general, Guwalgiya Sarhuda, was a member of the Guwalgiya clan that lived in the Hurka River Valley (present-day Mudanjiang).
In his early years, he and his father, Gualja Gülehe, joined the Manchurian forces led by Aisin Jueluo Nurhachi.
Shahrhuda participated in a series of campaigns against the Manchurian army and the Ming Empire in China.
In 1644, when an army led by Aisin Jueluo Dorgon crossed the Great Wall of China, Shahrhuda commanded a vanguard force into Beijing and later participated in the pursuit of the imperial usurper Li Zicheng to Shaanxi Province.
Later, Sha'er Huda continued to fight against the remnants of the Ming Empire in Jiangsu, Shandong, and Jiangxi. In recognition of his exploits, Sharhuda was promoted, awarded the Blue Banner (Blue Banner Manchurian Melle Zhangjing), and received hereditary status.
In 1652, Shaerhuda garrisoned Ningguta, an important town in the northeast, covering the vast area north of Liaoning and south of the Trans-Khingan Mountains, as well as Primorsky and Sakhalin Island.
In 1658, Sharhooda launched a crusade against the forces of the Russian Cossack Stepanov, who had been extracting taxes from the indigenous people of the Heilongjiang River Valley.
The fleet of about 40 or 45 ships, consisting of Manchurian soldiers and Korean soldiers led by General Shin Ryu, a total of about 1,400 people, marched along the Mudan Ula and Songhua rivers.
Sharhuda met Stepanov's fleet of 11 ships and engaged in an artillery battle, which routed the Cossacks. More than 400 Cossack soldiers jumped into the river to escape.
In this battle, the Manchurian-Korean coalition forces killed Stepanov and destroyed most of his troops. Of the 11 Russian ships, 7 were burned and 3 were captured by Chinese troops.
Ten Russians were taken prisoner, and Sharhooda released about 100 Ducher women who had been captured by the Cossacks. More than 300 large and small muskets were seized. Although the North Koreans demanded that the captured weapons be shared with them, Shahrhuda did not give them any share.
This victory is said to have cleared the Heilongjiang River basin of Russian power until 1669, when the Russians built the Albazin fortress in the upper reaches of the river.
Sharhuda died in 1659 and was succeeded by his son, Guwalgiya Bahai, who replaced him as commander of the Ninta garrison, continuing to defend against the Russians.
