Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 146
We all know that first impressions are very important when communicating with others.

So Zhu Youjian arranged the costumes of these Cossacks clearly.

Plus a face that is very rare in this land.

It is impossible for anyone to forcibly link them with Zhengheiqi, who was born in the wild Jurchen.

Not to mention that Zhu Youjian led them around for ten days.

It went directly to the Qiqihar area in the north, close to the boundary of Hulunbuir.

"Send sentry horses to explore north! Our first order this time must start with the Mongols, Leonid!"

"Yes, I am!"

The clerk in charge of leading the 200 Cossack cavalry heard Zhu Youjian's call, hurried over and imitated the appearance of the Black Banner Army, bowing and waving to salute.

You can't be cute.

Can a group of unarmored cavalry rebel in front of a group of heavy cavalry far exceeding their own?
Not to mention that the combat effectiveness of his expedition Cossacks was not at the same level as those of the Jurchen warriors.

"Let your people prepare. In addition... I ask you to pay more attention to looting instead of killing people in the future looting."

"Uh, good sir."

Zhu Youjian smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "If we didn't go out, but just let you blue-clothed Cossacks go out, then you should let some of you go properly.

But if our army is all out, then you have to make sure that no victim escapes on your offensive line of defense. If one escapes, your commission will increase by one month, understand? "

"Understood, my lord."

Cossack clerk Leonid nodded nervously.

"Let's set up camp, it's a bit late today, it's not very suitable for looting."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand to signal him to get out of the way, then got off the horse and handed the reins to Cheng Kuo, then looked around.

Breaking away from the old forests that are still melting snow, the vast scenery of the Songnen Plain is close at hand.

Although they have already stepped into it during the previous looting, the boundary of the Jiannu actual control area close to the two banners of Hulunbeier, such as the borders of the actual control area of ​​Jiannu, is really eye-catching in this season of spring returning to the earth.

Many of the Black Banner soldiers watching this scene were salivating, and tiger people like Jie Lama came to ask directly.

"Can we take this place?"

The half-joking words, but Zhu Youjian raised his brows and looked at him and said: "Next year, maybe you can try it next year."

Then try to get rid of Jiannu in the year after tomorrow.

Zhu Youjian referred to this overall plan as the Three Years of Pingliao.

Thousands of cavalry stepped into the grassland, and their momentum could be described as majestic, so on the first night of their stay, there were quite a lot of night watchmen around the camp.

And the next day.

The Sentinels galloped all morning, and finally found a settlement in the north where many shepherds gathered, tents and yurts.

The army moved upon hearing the sound, with five hundred blue-clothed Cossack cavalry walking at the forefront.

The first group of Cossacks were somewhat nervous.

They who came from homesteaders held a group of flintlock guns that could be controlled without too much training.

But this group of Siberian Cossacks cannot be compared with the most representative Zaporozhye Cossacks when it comes to cavalry and cavalry.

Nervousness is inevitable.

As for the three hundred 'Cossacks' walking leisurely while talking and laughing behind them.

Zhu Youjian has already told them that they can scream strangely during the robbery, but they can't speak, and if he hears a word, they will be punished with spoils.

Judging from past experience, the effect should be quite good.

And soon, the five hundred blue-clothed cavalry drew a distance from the black-armored cavalry in the rear. Under the watchful eyes of Zhu Youjian and a small number of light cavalry, the figures of the Cossacks entered the eyes of the shepherds in that settlement.

The sound of vigilance was loud, the wandering shepherds began to gather the livestock hastily, and many men and women who were at a loss poured out of the tents and yurts.

They shouted and discussed, and soon someone got on his horse and ran towards the Cossack.

Being far away, Zhu Youjian couldn't hear what the shepherd boy was shouting. Several gunshots exploded in the Cossack team, and the shepherd boy fell to the ground with his horse and man before he approached.

Then the four or five hundred shepherds in the settlement were in an uproar. One by one, the men and women hurriedly searched for weapons and got on their horses.

At this moment, feeling that the bullets were flying by Leonid from both sides of his face, he couldn't help but think of Zhu Youjian's explanation while trembling.

In the end, he could only scream with difficulty and ferociously: "обвинение!!"

And the other authentic Cossacks also had to utter all kinds of battle cries with meaningless words.

Because this is the link that Zhu Youjian specially explained.

Stereotypes must be spread relentlessly.

Five hundred light cavalry with lances charged and faced the hasty recoil, and even dozens of shepherds turned their heads and fled when they charged, and the outcome was clear at a glance.

Not to mention that many Cossacks had short guns on hand.

The explosion like firecrackers was a little subtle to Zhu Youjian, but he nodded in satisfaction after watching the group of shepherds who guarded the wealth of their family group suddenly lose their fighting spirit and then be overwhelmed in an instant.

Under the persecution of Tsarist Russia and the Cossacks, a large number of fishing, hunting or nomadic groups gradually moved south.

Such as Daur people, Ewenki people.

After most of them moved into the Songnen Plain, they were unified by the Manchu Qing, and they set up banners and set up assistants, becoming one of the main sources of troops for the Manchu Qing.

However, these two ethnic groups are too loose, so in addition to the tribes involved in the core control area, some tribes still maintain autonomous alliances and are active in the Songnen Plain and Hulunbuir.

The most important thing is that they are full of the Eight Banners, and they are an important part of the army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Too bad there isn't much value in looting them.

Otherwise, Zhu Youjian would have come to patronize him before.

Soon, the chaotic battle in the settlement came to an end. The Cossacks chased and killed the unlucky ones who failed to find the horses, drove the women and children into tents and yurts, and then laughed and led the cattle and sheep. livestock.

This scene made Zhu Youjian frown.

After a little hesitation, he called Cheng Kuo to whisper a few words, and then asked him to put on a blue coat and send a message to the Cossack.

"What!? To kill those women and children? But this is meaningless! We can keep them! They didn't resist, Lord Wuerte can take them back! Even as slaves"

Leonid had a look of disbelief.

Even in a state of slight rage after a brief fight and looting, he was still shocked by this order.

why?
Isn't that what looting is for?

What can I get in exchange for killing them?
What's the point of letting us do this?
Cheng Kuo looked at him coldly, and put his hand on the saber at his waist.

He couldn't understand what Leonid said, and His Majesty taught him only one sentence, but the attitude on the other side was obviously unwilling.

"Whether you want to do it or not, if you don't do it, someone will naturally do it."

The brief confrontation between the two immediately attracted a lot of attention, and the surrounding Cossacks all looked over.

A few Jurchen Cossacks came over immediately, with unfriendly expressions on their faces.

Leonid trembled for a moment. The Jurchen warrior opposite him spoke an incomprehensible language, but his threatening attitude was extremely obvious.

Therefore, he gave the order with difficulty.

Seeing that he seemed to compromise, Cheng Kuo ordered to the Jurchen Cossack next to him in a timely manner: "Kill everyone and leave no one behind."

"Oh!"

Although they didn't understand, the Jurchen Cossacks still went excitedly. It's a pity. Wuerte didn't say that he must be killed immediately. Let's finish the job soon.
