Chapter Seventy-Nine: Blending in with the Ethnic Groups
At this moment, there was a Russian caravan carrying supplies outside the camp of the Beishan Jurchen tribe, and it happened to be discovered by the Beishan Jurchen soldiers who were training, they took out their arrows and shot an arrow at the caravan, and asked loudly, "Jurchen language: Hey! Stop the caravan on the other side, we're going to check your supplies. ”
Hearing someone ask, one of the blue-eyed men with curly hair and a d'Artagnan hat stepped forward and replied, "Jurchen: Oh, respected tribal warriors, we are merchants from the distant Romanov Empire, please let us cross this land and trade with the Qing court?" "I learned that the other party is a Rakshasa? This made the Beishan Jurchen soldiers a little nervous, after all, they had heard that the Rakshasa people were murderous, and now they had just come into contact, and they were still a little scared in their hearts, but after looking at the goods they hauled, they immediately became interested, and the soldiers planned to bring the Rakshasa people back to the tribe and hand them over to the patriarch, maybe they could get some oil and water?
So the soldiers led the way and let them all go to the tribe, and when they saw that the first conspiracy succeeded, the Tsarist Yakutsk overseers secretly rejoiced, and the Tsarist Cossack soldiers disguised as caravans successfully entered the Beishan Jurchen camp, which immediately attracted the attention of the women, children and the Beishan Jurchen soldiers in the tribe, and everyone pointed and discussed, "Jurchen language: who are they?" How did it come to our race? ”
Some of the people who have seen the world say, "Jurchen: These people look like caravans of the Rakshasas?" Could it be that they are sending gifts to our tribe? Just when everyone was talking, the long-haired and bearded chief of the Beishan Jurchen tribe, Migu Duofei Kuloer, slowly walked out with a cane and asked, "Jurchen language: What is so lively?" As soon as the words fell, the four elders of the Beishan Jurchen clan also came over to watch, and the Beishan Jurchen soldiers immediately responded, "Jurchen language: See the patriarchs, see the chief, this group of Rakshasa caravans was discovered by chance while patrolling, what do you think should be done?" ”
The chief of the Jurchen tribe in Beishan walked over with a cane, looked at them, and said, "Jurchen language: There is a shortage of materials in the tribe, so let them leave the supplies, as for the people?" It's for us to be slaves, and anyway, it's also a slave sent to the door, don't want it in vain! ”
However, the Russian interpreter in the caravan heard that the Beishan Jurchens were going to call them all as slaves? Angry, he suddenly became angry, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Jurchen language: Don't misunderstand, we are sent by His Majesty the Tsar to trade with the Qing court, passing by here, I don't want to disturb you, please forgive me!" Hearing this, the great elder of the Jurchen tribe in Beishan: Tuluo Gu Moda began to pay attention to this caravan, and he said solemnly to the people behind him: "Jurchen language: When the old man was young, he heard that the Rakshasa people were in the Principality of Mokos, Grand Duke Vasily III: Ivanovich Gavril, and his son Ivan IV: Ivan Vasilyevich, when he ascended the throne, it was during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and soon he was officially crowned as the "Tsar" in the 26th year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty in 1547 AD Renamed (Ivan the Terrible), he established an "Eastern European Musketman" and conquered the Kazan Khanate, the Astrakhan Khanate, the Great Nogai Khanate and the Bashkir subordinate, making many peoples in the North Caucasus submit to the Mokos principality, and completely changed the balance of power between the Mokos and the Kazan Mongol-Tatars, and crossed the Ural Mountains to annex the vast Siberia, sweeping the way that hindered the unification of Ivan the Terrible. ”
At this time, the other three patriarchs also seemed to remember the Rakshasa cavalry firecrackers who were once feared in the Siberian region, and they said in unison: "Jurchen language: due to the external expansion of Ivan the Terrible, the Siberian Khanate was forced to submit, and then the Eastern European firecrackers crushed the Crimean Khanate regime known as (the whip of Ottoman Turkey), when the Ottoman Turkish Empire was at its peak, so that the shadow of advancing aggression hung over the whole of Eastern Europe, The crushing of the Crimean Khanate could deal a head-on blow to the Ottoman Turkic Empire, and the Principality of Mokos, which tried to dominate Eastern Europe after thwarting the Ottoman Turkic Empire, used the opening of the northern route by the Dutch ships as an opportunity to pave the way for Ivan the Terrible to begin to explore a shortcut to Western Europe. ”
Next, after listening to the words of the Russian translator, the Yakutsk overseers of Tsarist Russia came out and said, "Rakshasa language: The Duchy of Mokos also launched the (Livonian War) to try to expand into the Baltic Sea, but due to the intervention of the neighboring European countries of Poland and Lithuania, the Great Niya (Denmark), and the opposition of the nobles, the war was prolonged for a total of twenty-five years!" Although it did not achieve the desired goal, it showed Europe the power of the Duchy of Mokos. ”
After saying this, the Tsarist Yakutsk overseer was immediately courteous to the Beishan Jurchen chieftain, and he was very afraid of offending the Tsarist Empire, so he specially invited the Rakshasa caravan to be a guest in the tribe, and asked the Beishan Jurchen interpreter to explain: "Rakshasa language: it was all a misunderstanding just now, please forgive me!" It's all because my subordinates didn't know Taishan when they were patrolling, and they accidentally captured you, so I can't compensate you for the chief! ”
Seeing the Beishan Jurchen chieftain bowing respectfully and apologizing, he immediately won the forgiveness of the Yakutsk overseer of Tsarist Russia, he thought to himself; These Jurchens are so easy to deceive, and their feelings are afraid of the majesty of our Tsarist Empire?
Then the chief of the Jurchen tribe in Beishan ordered the tribesmen to prepare a banquet, and asked the four elders to send a letter to prepare to contact the leaders of the three major tribes to come to the dinner, the Russian translator felt bad and hurriedly said to the Tsarist Yakutsk overseer, but he thought that he could easily wipe out their leaders, in case he asked the Russian Cossack soldiers who were pretending to be caravans around him to be vigilant, and took the opportunity to transfer the Pishaw arquebus placed under the supplies to a hidden place, and let ten Tsarist Russian Cossack soldiers quietly walk out of the camp, Go and carry the mortar cannon to a high place and aim it inside the group, ready to respond to their cannon to intimidate the Beishan Jurchens.
Shen Shi was at the bottom of a big tree under the sun, Wu Junzhen, who was lying down, slowly got up and woke up, he touched his head and thought; What's wrong with me? Like you just got some sleep? Then he looked at Ma Wei beside him, who was also lying down, and woke him up and asked, "Brother Ma, wake up, do you know how we got here?" Ma Wei, who was woken up, had an itchy nose and yawned, and replied, "I remember that we were chased by robbers at that time, and then I don't remember!" ”
However, the thoughtful Wu Junzhen began to recall, and suddenly remembered that when he was unconscious, there seemed to be smoke in front of him? He said aloud, "Oh, I remember? It seems that after a puff of white gunsmoke, we passed out? I guess someone saved us with Ecstasy, right? As soon as the words fell, I heard someone laugh and say, "Hehehe, you are still a little conscious." ”
Ma Wei heard someone speak, quickly stood up and asked, "Who is Your Excellency, quickly show your origin?" so that we can repay the kindness. Suddenly, a black-clothed man wearing a hat and holding a saber jumped down from the tree, and Ma Wei was a little surprised! Wu Junzhen, who was on the side, stepped forward and saluted, "Dare to ask the righteous man's surname?" Where does the teacher come from? So that I can return the favor and thank you. I only heard the man in black say, "It's a trivial matter, why worry about it?" I'm just seeing that the road is uneven and pulling out a knife to help! After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
But Wu Junzhen asked, "Righteous people stay, dare to ask, how far is it from Fengxiang Mansion here?" Seeing this, the man in black glanced back at him and said, "You want to go to Fengxiang Mansion?" The two of them hurriedly nodded and said, "I have something important to prepare for Fengxiang Mansion, but our two horses in this barren mountain and wild mountain are gone!" Please also tell us the distance between the two of us. ”
The man in black pointed to the woods in front of him and said, "From here, 20 miles north will be the gate of Fengxiang Mansion, are you also going to join the army?" Or refugees who have taken refuge? After hearing this, Wu Junzhen replied secretly, "Oh, we are going to take refuge." As soon as he finished saying this, the man in black inadvertently saw the token in front of his waist, and quickly grabbed it to look at it, and found that it was actually the token of the guard's army? The man in black was surprised, "You are from the military household? Ma Wei quickly explained, "No, that? …。 I saw that the man in black quickly reached out and took off Ma Wei's token to watch, and the two had to admit their military identities when they saw this.
I thought the man in black had some conspiracy? Unexpectedly, he actually said: "Two military lords, don't be nervous! In the next is to go to Fengxiang Mansion to join the army to kill the enemy, only because the year before last the Liukou rampant Xi'an Mansion Liujiaguan, I was forced to come down from Zhongnan Mountain, but because of the outbreak of the plague, I have not joined the army, until I heard that the Liukou Gong occupied Xi'an Mansion! I just decided to go to Fengxiang Mansion. ”
After learning what happened to the man in black, the two expressed sympathy, and also frankly introduced: "To tell the truth, we are the military family who escaped from Xi'an Mansion, and we are planning to go to Fengxiang Mansion to join the Ming army of Pingliang Mansion to continue to fight against the Liukou, since we are on the way, why don't we go together?" Your skills are so good to be a soldier, it's too suitable, but it's better to go to Pingliang Mansion with us to join the army in Fengxiang Mansion. ”
The man in black immediately agreed to come down and told him that his surname: Liu, name: Ruilin, is a person from Liujiaguan in Xi'an Prefecture, and the three of them went on the road together to walk north through the mountains and forests, and within half an hour they came to the gate of Fengxiang Mansion. The overwhelmed guards laughed and said, "Who are you?" As soon as you come up, you want to see our prefect? I think you're impatient to be a homeless person, right? Ma Wei, who was ridiculed, was a little angry, and was about to open his mouth to scold, but was stopped by Wu Junzhen and said angrily: "Don't misunderstand, everyone! I am the general manager of Tongguan Weiqian, he is the general manager of Tongguan Wei, passing by here, and I asked the brothers to pass a message to the prefect to borrow me and wait for a few fast horses to hurry. ”
