The Rise of the European Emperor

Marin was not on a whim. In fact, he thought of the idea of ​​hiring Saurons as soldiers just now after he remembered the history of the Qing Dynasty's endless recruitment of Saurons as soldiers. Man Qing can do it, why can't I?

Moreover, Marin did not force the Sauron warriors to help him fight like Manchu, but planned to use benefits to attract Sauron warriors to help him fight.

As Suha said, the Saurons were the kings of the jungle, known as the Cossacks of the Qing Dynasty, and made great military exploits for the Qing Dynasty in conquering the Western Frontier. As stated in a later article, compared with the Cossacks, if the Saurons had the same number of people, their combat power would not be inferior to the Cossacks. And if it was in the deep mountains and old forests, the Saurons who grew up in the Daxing'an Mountains would definitely be able to beat the Cossacks out.

Just like the Ukrainian Cossacks recruited by Marin before, they were very good on the Pampas grassland in Argentina, beating the native Indians in Argentina and fleeing. However, in the North American jungle, the Cossacks couldn't move. Because they are very unadapted to the jungle environment and cannot perform in the forest.

The Cossacks are powerful because of their mobility. However, the Eastern European Mongolian horses they ride are relatively taller than the authentic Mongolian horses. It is inconvenient to move in the dense jungle, and it is easy for people on horseback to hit branches.

The Sauron horses ridden by the Saurons (the Oroqen horses of later generations belong to one of them) are short in stature, but they are very suitable for crossing the jungle. Moreover, the Saurons are very flexible, they can quickly get down on their horses to avoid the branches that are halfway across the road, so that their speed of riding in the forest will not slow down.

As Suha said just now, hundreds of Sauron warriors conquered hundreds of miles of land in a day, that is, a radius of more than 2,000 square kilometers, which is indeed not a problem.

Hearing Marin's question, Suha froze for a moment, then thought about it carefully, and replied solemnly

"Great Khan, if you are willing to give my fellow clansmen the same treatment as the five of us, I think that, except for a few who are very attached to their homeland, most of the Sauron boys will be willing to accept your employment."

Bai Geri nodded again and again.

"Yes, Dahan, we drink and eat meat every day under your command, and our daily salary is as high as 6 pfennigs. Such a good life will make my people envious!"

The daily salary of ordinary soldiers in Beihai State is only 3 pfennigs, but Bai Geri and the five of them are falconers and skilled workers. The Haidongqing they domesticated can intercept and kill the enemy's carrier pigeons at critical moments, and now they can still find the Indians' jungle hiding places. Naturally, they are served with high salaries.

Marin wanted to hire a large number of Sauron warriors, so he naturally refused to double his salary. So he shook his head and said

"You are masters at taming Haidongqing, so you deserve double the salary. But if it's an ordinary Sauron warrior,

I can only give the wages of ordinary soldiers. Of course, they are better fighters than ordinary soldiers, so I would offer them a bottle of whiskey [a half-pound bottle] every day as a reward. "

"That's all right!" Suha's second brother Balhu slapped his hands.

"Damn Khan, you don't know, people in our bitter cold place like to drink strong alcohol the most. As long as you are willing to give half a pound of strong alcohol to drink every day, and you can eat and drink enough, even if you don't pay salary, there will be a large number of people. The Saurons are willing to serve you!"

What Balhu said is correct. The Jurchens and Saurons in the deep mountains and old forests in the northeast all like to drink strong alcohol. The famous burning knives of later generations originated from the Liaodong area in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

The reason why Erguotou appeared was also because the Manchus who occupied the Central Plains needed spirits of higher quality than ordinary Shaodaozi spirits after they became nobles.

In short, the men in the bitter cold place seem to have a soft spot for spirits. Not only men in Northeast China like spirits, but Maozi are also addicted to alcohol. Marin bought the Saurons, and he could use the routine of buying the Cossacks, using rye Erguotou.

In fact, some historians in later generations pointed out that the sharp decline in the population of the Saurons in the Qing Dynasty was not only related to the endless conscripts of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also to the Saurons' preference for strong alcohol.

After becoming a tool of the Qing Dynasty's conquest, the Saurons will get enough rewards for their military exploits. Then, if you have money, you can buy Shaodao or Erguotou to drink.

According to historical records, the soldiers of the Sauron camp were fond of spirits and often drank heavily. And regular alcoholism is likely to lead to a decline in fertility...

However, Marin scoffed at this. Because, that expert is Manchurian, it seems that he is really defending the ancestors. Moreover, Russians are also fond of spirits, and they have never seen negative or no growth in their population.

Over the past few hundred years, Maozi's population has grown from tens of millions to hundreds of millions...

Therefore, the hobby of spirits is not the main reason for the sharp drop in population at all. The main reason is the Qing Dynasty's endless expropriation of the Saurons. As for frequent drinking of spirits, it may indeed have a certain impact on fertility, but it will definitely not prevent the population from growing or even negatively growing. Moreover, Marin gave each person half a pound a day, which is not a lot. You know, many Chinese people in later generations drink alcohol every day, and I don't see them without children.

In this way, Marin made a decision on the spot and made a plan to go to the northeast of Daming to hire Sauron warriors as mercenaries to help fight in the North American jungle.

The Cossacks can help Tsarist Russia lay down the huge Siberia, and Marin believes that the Sauron Warrior, who is not inferior to the Cossacks and is better at jungle warfare, can also help him lay down the huge North American jungle.

Moreover, Marin does not need them to conquer the entire North America, as long as they conquer the eastern part of North America and reach the Mississippi River Basin, it is almost enough. As for the west of the Mississippi River, it can be left to future generations to develop.

But Bai Geri was worried that he might encounter difficulties when passing through the territory of the Jurchens. After all, Jurchen is not a good stubble. From the northeast of Liaodong, it is indeed difficult to pass through the Jurchen territory in the Jilin area of ​​later generations.

But who is Marin? That was the former "little prince of geography". Can this matter stump him?

"Haha, Baigeri, this is not a problem. You also know that Nuergancheng is at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River. I plan to build a castle at the abandoned Yongning Temple in Nuergancheng as a stronghold. Then, send people along the Heilongjiang River Go back up and reach the territory of the Saurons. In this way, you can avoid the territory of the Jurchens..."

After finishing speaking, Marin also drew a map of later generations based on his memory...

"This is Daxing'an Mountains, the area where you Saurons live..."

After the five Baigeri looked at the map, hope appeared in their eyes...

"Great Khan, if your fleet can really cross the 'Salian Haula' [Heijiang, the name of Heilongjiang in the Ming Dynasty], you will definitely be able to find our five tribes. I beg you, Great Khan, to send someone to tell my mother , Bai Geri is not dead yet..." After speaking, Bai Geri, who was in his thirties, burst into tears.

"That's no problem. When the time comes, I can send someone to bring your family over to reunite with you!"

"Then us?" The four Suha brothers also looked hopeful.

"Take them all, as long as you can help me recruit Sauron warriors!"

"No problem, it's on us!" All five people became excited. Since becoming slaves, they have long since given up hope for the future, and they have not thought about being able to reunite with their loved ones.

Now, Marin agreed to send people to their hometown to recruit Sauron mercenaries, and was willing to pick up their family members. They were overjoyed and expressed their willingness to die for Marin...
