Chapter 144 The Disappointing Cossack
s
Of course, Zhu Youjian had never seen what a serious Cossack looked like.
When the cavalry marched to the northern part of the Greater Khingan Mountains, several light cavalry units served as sentinels in front. The local wild Jurchen tribe also diligently sent people to greet them and acted as guides for the army to find the Cossacks.
Zhu Youjian himself was full of expectations for the Cossacks.
From the perspective of an emperor.
These brave pioneers couldn't be more useful.
If you can't survive anymore, you flee into the wilderness.
Some become bandits, but others will go far away to reclaim land and establish large local governments. When they are almost developed, the country only needs to reward the leaders among them with a title.
In this way, another piece of land was incorporated into the great empire.
It's a pity that most Han people are more enthusiastic about rebellion when they can't survive, and relatively speaking they are more courageous.
Zhu Youjian, who saw the Cossacks for the first time, was somewhat disappointed.
Without him, the evil deeds and the fact that a wild girl who had gained a lot of fat in the winter was right next to her, with the knife drawn out and placed on top of her head, how could she not be scared?
"Yes, yes! It's all here!"
Anyway, most of them were begging for mercy or saying that they would never dare to attack the Jurchens again.
Many local bandits and even local clans in the Ming Dynasty were similar.
So with a wave of his hand, all eight hundred cavalrymen appeared in their sights from all around. Immediately, the last group of people who wanted to resist also gave up.
"Set off the firecrackers."
But down to the details, the Cossacks are actually a group of farmers who usually farm and herd cattle. When they have work, they raise their swords and guns and transform into Cossacks.
Hearing this, Moros's body trembled even more.
Although it was far away, the large projectiles still knocked down several lucky people.
"Where are the other expeditions? Where are they? According to my northern lords, there are quite a few of you, robbing and attacking our tribes in my territory?"
"Which of you is the leader and who is the Ataman?"
Eight hundred armored heavy cavalry?
With artillery and musketeers?
Zhu Youjian's big horse Jin Dao sat down, making Ma Zha look in danger.
After a long-lost robbery, the soldiers were like drug addicts, jealous of everything they looked at.
Seeing this extremely tall and terrifying Jurchen leader speaking some familiar language, the Cossacks suddenly became restless.
Seeing that it had some effect, Zhu Youjian took advantage of the hot iron and asked a 100-man musketry team to come forward and fire a volley at the Cossacks' location from a distance.
Cossacks are complex and widely distributed. The titles of wandering free warriors, explorers and free folk are only used to describe the Cossacks as a whole.
The Cossacks on the opposite side were even more confused for a moment, looking left and right, or simply raising their hands and kneeling on the ground consciously.
After scolding the Black Flag Army, Zhu Youjian asked in a blink of an eye: "Who sent you here?"
"Is your team all here?"
Zhu Youjian was also a little speechless.
Key common words such as raising hands and surrender should not change much. Even if they change significantly, the speeches in the same language family will be extremely close.
Big coats and leather hats, a small camp, surrounded by hundreds of cavalry, everyone was extremely panicked, and hurriedly fiddled with the flintlock guns at hand.
The cavalry tried to escape, but they were surrounded by Jurchens in black clothes and armor.
In view of the fact that the Cossack language at this time may be different from that later, Zhu Youjian tried his best to simplify his words of persuasion to surrender.
I will also answer the question.
And just when the Cossacks were trembling and waiting to surrender, Zhu Youjian turned over and dismounted, and his extraordinarily protruding body suddenly landed in front of them, making the first few Cossacks tremble in fear.
Zhu Youjian brought the cannon and naturally he would not let the black flag cavalry attack. He just waved his hand and the gunners behind him began to prepare.
Suddenly, the Cossacks quarreled again for a while.
This made the remaining Cossacks in the camp extremely frightened.
Zhu Youjian asked directly, while the Cossack opposite him was kneeling on the ground without raising his head.
While I was asking questions, there were constant moans coming from behind me. These Jurchens were executing people injured by cannons and muskets.
"There is another team. Someone knows and knows where they are!"
Six solid artillery shells came through the air! They hit the Cossack camp!
"Yakutsk, the governor there has been recruiting Cossacks. His clerks will lead the Cossack expedition. Our goal is to find large open spaces, and the other team's goal is iron ore or gold and silver."
They also understood clearly that the large number of mysterious black cavalry around them was obviously related to the local indigenous people who had been attacked by them before.
Soon, these Cossacks knelt together and watched with trembling as a group of ferocious-looking Jurchen Tatars around them collected their weapons and everything in the camp.
"Moros, salute you, great leader."
According to the captured prisoners, they paid tribute to the Jurchens, so this group of people must be Jurchens!
Just as they looked at the large black mass of cavalry that had just emerged from the woods in the distance, they couldn't help but despair, when a roar and explosion broke through the sky.
Afterwards, a thin and ugly man with a long face was pushed in front of Zhu Youjian.
When the Cossacks on the opposite side saw this, they knelt even more and shouted something loudly.
Jiao Boqing stayed in Black Flag Castle to handle internal affairs, while Cheng Kuo unfolded and folded the ponytail in time.
Come to surround us?
Play with a hammer.
Zhu Youjian just raised his hand and said: "Quiet, now let me ask one side, who is your leader? If the leader dies, then I need you to choose one to talk to me immediately."
They looked like a group of bandits with good equipment and clothes, and faces with different skin colors.
Prior to this, Jin Yiwei Pei Wu led a team to investigate and had a clear view of them, but they were unaware of it.
While they were filling up the medicine, the Cossacks on the opposite side had gathered together one by one. A few of the cavalrymen also got on their horses, and they were all roaring and screaming in preparation to meet the enemy.
"Бросьтеруки! капитуляция!"
Now the twelve lone members of this team have been taken away by a wave of raids, and the remaining survivors are wailing behind the horses of the Black Flag Cavalry.
It is a familiar but somewhat obscure language to Zhu Youjian.
However, the infantry no longer dared to form a group, and they were scattered and had a tendency to run away.
At this time, Zhu Youjian waved behind him and asked for a tin speaker that was slightly better in workmanship than before.
Oh, and there's the leather hat on the head and the belt on the waist.
Suddenly there were shouts and shouts everywhere.
Zhu Youjian nodded when he heard this, confirming the nature of these Cossacks.
Zhu Youjian can understand about 80% of it in his ears, and the other 20% is due to accent and dialect?
Two of them blasted directly into the crowd! Immediately smashing several people! Rotten flesh and bones flew everywhere! The Cossack army was demoralized!
"Stop, stop, stop! Even if he has a scratch on his face, you still have to cut his throat, right? You kid! His coat is yours! Quickly peel it off and let him go, it's outrageous!"
Sure enough, these words echoed through the loudspeaker amidst the aftertaste of the cannon fire.
If Zhu Youjian hadn't stopped them, they wouldn't have been able to save their fur coats and leather shoes.
There is no neat attire, no big hat on the head, and there is not much toughness to speak of.
Usually it is a certain Zhuangzi.
When I came to work, I became a copycat of such and such.
The difference is that there is a lot of undeveloped land outside the actual control area of Tsarist Russia, and they, the free people, do not have to pay taxes to Tsarist Russia for farming.
Patting the man on the shoulder, Zhu Youjian smiled sinisterly and said, "Now go find me a guide."
