The Rise of the European Emperor

The more Marin thought about it, the more he felt that there was a trick, and aerial reconnaissance was no better than ground reconnaissance. Falcons fly high, fast, and have a wide range of reconnaissance, which is naturally much more convenient than ground scouts for reconnaissance. If there is a falcon reconnaissance team in the army, it can detect the enemy's movements at any time. Then, make the most favorable arrangements.

However, after communicating with Baigeri and others, Marin was frustrated to find that he seemed to be using falcons for reconnaissance, which was a bit taken for granted.

Of course, this is not to say that the Falcon is useless, but that the conditions of use are limited. What kind of restrictions? That is, the falcon can distinguish between its own people and those who are not its own, but it cannot distinguish passers-by from enemies.

The reason why the five of them were in the North American jungle was because as long as there were people hiding in the jungle, they must be enemies, and there were no own people or passers-by. After all, the requirement of the Jagers is to clear the jungle.

Falcon's IQ is not high, but at least he can recognize people. In the dense jungle, it is still very simple to find the native Indians.

However, once in the plain area with a large population, the falcon's reconnaissance is not easy to use. why? Because the plains are full of people, Falcon's IQ is limited, and he can't tell which is an ordinary person and which is an enemy army, and often gives wrong signals.

Therefore, although falcons have been cultivated in the Northeast since the Sushen era, they are rarely used for military purposes. The main reason is that when hunters arrive in the densely populated areas of the Central Plains, they will be confused. They will see all kinds of people, but they will not be able to tell which one is the enemy. After all, falcons are just ordinary animals, not that high in IQ.

Marin was very disappointed after hearing this, but it made sense after thinking about it. You must know that the dignitaries of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties liked to play eagles the most. However, I have only heard of Manchu nobles using Costin for hunting, but I have never heard of them using Costin as scouts. Obviously, that's because it doesn't fit.

However, in the mountains and forests, Hai Dongqing can still easily distinguish between his own people and those who are not his own. After all, Costin also has a certain IQ, and with the uniform uniform of the Beihai team, Costin can certainly recognize it. As for the native Indians, they didn't have any clothes to wear, so Hai Dongqing could tell the difference at a glance.

According to Bai Geri and others, after Hai Dongqing found the traces of the Indians in the jungle, he would fly back and circle over them, passing messages and reporting the distance and the number of people through circles and various flying postures. How many. However, only a seasoned falconer can read these signals.

In the jungles of North America, the hidden Indians must be enemies that need to be targeted. Therefore, it is very appropriate to use Costin for reconnaissance in the North American jungle.

...

Marin was immediately relieved. Although Costin could not be used to detect the enemy's situation in the densely populated plains, it was very good to be able to consult the native Indians in the North American jungle.

After all, the North American jungle is too large. If the old hunters of the Black Forest are used, the speed of clearing the forest will be very slow because of the slow movement and the need to guard against possible ambush enemies in the forest.

But using Costin is different. Costin flies extremely fast and has excellent eyesight. Coupled with the flamboyant attire of the native Indians, it was easy for Costin to spot and warn them in time.

According to Nubi, with the help of Costin, the hunters could only scout and clear an area of ​​tens of square kilometers a day, but it suddenly increased to hundreds of square kilometers.

This is also because the action of the Jaegers was too slow, which dragged down the results of Haidongqing's reconnaissance. After all, the hunting teams are all walking in the jungle, and they can clear up an area of ​​several hundred square kilometers a day. If they go fast enough, they can clear thousands of square kilometers a day.

When it comes to the speed of traveling in the jungle, Baigeri from the Daur tribe of Sauronbe has something to say:

"Marin Khan, walking in the jungle is too slow. If you have the horses that the Sauron people in our hometown often ride, you can move like flying in the jungle."

"The horse the Saurons ride? Isn't it a Mongolian horse?" Marin froze for a moment.

Bai Geri shook his head and said:

"Great Khan, the horses of our Saurons were indeed originally brought from the Horqin Mongolian tribe in the west. However, after many generations of our own cultivation, our Saurons' horses have been very adapted to life in the jungle and grasslands. The horses of the Mongols are obviously different."

"Our horses look no different from Mongolian grassland horses, but they are actually more adapted to life in the mountains and forests, and they are also very cold-tolerant. They can walk swiftly in the rugged mountains and forests, cross creeks sensitively, and avoid them with vigilance. Cut off the branches that lie across the road, so as not to hurt the knight on horseback..."

"That is to say, although the horses of your Saurons come from Mongolia. However, after your domestication and training, they have adapted to the forest environment?" Marin asked after thinking.

"That's right, the horses of our Saurons are better adapted to the jungle environment than the Mongolian horses. Our horses are much shorter than the big horses of the North Sea, but they are more suitable for shuttling in the dense forest. If the knights of Sauron lead Haidong If Qing is active in the dense forest, it will be easier to conquer the dense forest in the American region than the Black Forest under your command."

"Yes, if I have hundreds of Sauron knights under my command, it will be no problem to search and clear the distance of hundreds of miles every day." Suha, the eldest of the four brothers from the Sauron tribe, said to himself.

Suha, Balhu, Yadan, and Muren are brothers who originally lived in the Daxinganling area of ​​Heilongjiang. The local people usually make a living by fishing and hunting, but they also need to exchange supplies. For example, the Saurons needed iron swords, bows and arrows, as well as materials such as iron pots, cotton clothes, and tea.

However, since the Ming Dynasty withdrew Nuergancheng (called Temple Street in the Qing Dynasty and Nikolaevsk in later generations) near the mouth of the Heilongjiang River in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River since the Xuande period, the Sauron people who were active in the Heilongjiang River Basin He and the Jurchen lost the place to exchange continued supplies.

Subsequently, the Saurons could only obtain materials such as ironware, cotton fabrics and tea from the Ming Dynasty from the Mongols and Jurchens. But the problem is that the Ming Dynasty did not open border trade until the Jiajing period when it was forced by Altan Khan and San Niangzi by force. Right now, the Mongols are unable to obtain supplies from the Ming Dynasty. Only the Jurchen ministries of the Ming Dynasty can take advantage of the opportunity of paying tribute to exchange the few Ming Dynasty supplies from Liaodong.

Then, the Jurchens resold the excess supplies to the Saurons in the north at several times higher prices. Regardless of whether it was Bai Geri or the four Suha brothers, the reason why they became slaves to the Yehe tribe of the Haixi Jurchen was because the five of them tried to cross the Jurchen-controlled area to exchange supplies with the Ming Dynasty people in Liaodong.

At that time, there were many minks in the mountains where the Sauron people lived, and mink fur was also very popular in the Ming Dynasty. A piece of sable fur could be sold for dozens of taels of silver, and ordinary mink fur also sold for more than a dozen taels of silver.

Basically, in the Northeast at that time, mink fur was the hardest currency. As for the Jurchen area, due to its early development and large population, the mink fur resources are not as good as the Sauron-controlled area in the north. However, they can also happily exploit the Saurons by being second-hand dealers.

In the Ming Dynasty, the sable skins could be sold for dozens of taels of silver a piece, but the Jurchens gave the Saurons two or three taels of silver and just gave them away casually. Then, they sold them materials from the Ming Dynasty at a high price.

The Sauron people were not reconciled, so they sent people to secretly take mink furs southward through the mountains and forests, intending to go to Liaodong. And heading south from the Xing'an Mountains, it happens to pass through the Haixi Jurchen-controlled area. However, the Jurchens of this era are also masters in the jungle. Therefore, all five failed and were captured, and became slaves of the Yehe tribe of Haixi Jurchen. Then, it was bought by Marin...

"Suha, tell me, I'll send someone to your hometown to hire Sauron warriors to be me as mercenaries. Can I recruit someone?" Hearing Suha's words, Marin's heart moved, and he asked casually...
