Chapter 1922 Arrangement
Frankly speaking, among the four brothers Suha, Balhu, Yadan and Muren, Marin is the most optimistic about Muren. Because Muren is the smartest and loves to learn the most.
However, it was precisely because he was most optimistic about him that Marin was reluctant to let him go back to be Sauron Khan. Muren, the child of the Sauron savages, actually began to learn German cultural knowledge after coming to Beihai Kingdom. Of the four brothers, Muren also knew German and could write German. The other three brothers, including Bai Geri, could only speak some simple Chinese. They learned these Chinese dialects from the court doctor Battle.
Both Mozhigen and Battle understand Chinese and are also Mongols. The Sauron people have a lot of dealings with the Mongolian Horqin tribe, so they naturally understand Mongolian and Jurchen dialects. In addition, Battle was enthusiastic, and when he saw the Sauron people who understood Mongolian, he was also willing to communicate with them and teach them Chinese. As for Morrigan, he didn't bother to deal with these Sauron barbarians......
Because someone took the initiative to teach, the five Saurons learned a lot of Chinese. However, Muren learned German by comparing himself with others, asking others for advice, and often asking Battle for advice. Although it is stumbling to say, it may be self-taught, which is surprising enough.
Obviously, Muren's IQ is not low, or very high. But it was precisely because of his high IQ that Marin was reluctant to let him go back to be Sauron Khan.
Such a smart person can easily get out of control after going back. Even if they don't get out of control, they will continue to make small moves in private, making the North Sea Kingdom's control over the Sauron region decrease.
And Suha is different, this honest boss, stupid and obedient, and hard-working, is an excellent puppet khan.
Moreover, he is the eldest of the four, with the highest prestige, and Muren has no intention of robbing him. After determining the position of Sukhasauron's future khan, Marin began to further arrange how to control the Outer Northeast......
"Suha, look, this is Nuergan City, and I plan to send 500 soldiers and horses to escort you to occupy the city first. Then, after requisitioning 2,000 people from Taiwan Island, with cement and bamboo, help you strengthen the city with bamboo reinforced concrete, so that the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack......"
"Great Khan, what is bamboo concrete?" Suha asked honestly.
Marlin waved his hand:
"It's hard to explain this to you, you go and see, the walls of Aurich are concrete......"
"Oh, now I understand, it's like a stone...... But why use concrete? Isn't it over just quarrying stones to repair the city? Suha wondered.
Marin rolled his eyes and said:
"It doesn't take time or labor to mine stones, right? It takes a lot of stonemasons to polish stone into stones, how can I have so many stonemasons to send you? You just need to know that the cement repair speed is very fast. ”
Marin plans to send Suha back in a few days, because it only takes three months to get from Panama to Taiwan, which is much faster. So, it will be there in a few months.
Then, in April and May of the next year, after the Outer Northeast and the Tatar Strait thawed, he asked Conté to send a fleet to escort Suha and 500 musketeers, as well as the supplies of the migrant workers and the pruning of the city, to the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, to occupy and rebuild the city of Nuergan.
Then, using the city of Nuergan as a trading base, he began to purchase mink. Woolen fabrics, salt, ironware and other scarce supplies were exchanged with the locals for mink.
At present, the inhabitants of the vicinity of Nuergancheng are mainly beggar charmers, that is, the Nivkh people as later Maozi said. At present, they are still very strong and widely distributed in the lower reaches of Heilongjiang. But after Maozi came in later generations, he slaughtered them in various ways and deliberately spread diseases. In later generations, there were only four or five thousand Nevkh people left, which was much less than in this era. It can be seen how miserable the locals are after the outer northeast is occupied by Maozi.
However, the people under Kong Tai are all southerners, and it must be difficult for them to adapt to the cold climate of the far north. So, they are stationed for a maximum of one year. A year later, Suha would do well to recruit a team of Sauronians. Moreover, it is also possible to recruit the nearby beggar charms, as well as the wild Jurchens in the south.
But in the beginning, in order to ensure Suha's safety, it must be better to recruit the Saurons of Suha's own people. Only when the Saurons were in the driver's seat could Suha be at peace. Otherwise, it is easy to be overthrown by the beggar charms or the Jurchens.
However, it is more than 2,000 kilometers from Nuergancheng along the Heilongjiang River to the Daxinganling area, and it is also a difficult problem to go to the Daxinganling to recruit Sauron warriors.
"Well, two or three thousand miles ......" Marin thought for a long time and decided to send 5 galleys back for Suha to use.
Of course, it's a galley without a diesel engine. After all, diesel is scarce now, and it is difficult to use diesel engines to the fullest. Moreover, the mechanics who know how to maintain the diesel engine are the most precious, and Marin is reluctant to accompany Suha to the bitter cold place in the northeast.
Moreover, the galley is also very suitable for inland river navigation on the Heilongjiang River. Marin planned to buy 5 galleys directly from Italy, along with a group of Maozi oaring slaves. Those hairs were slaves bought from the Crimean Khanate by Venetian and Genoean merchants. Moreover, most of them have been castrated, are very honest and obedient, and are also very strong. Most importantly, they are well adapted to the bitter cold climate of the Outer Northeast. After all, Maozi's hometown is also a bitter cold place.
Then, on these five galleys, Marin was equipped with a musketeer and a few small Furlong cannons, which was enough to walk sideways on the Heilongjiang River. The birch bark boats of the locals could knock over a large area of one or two hundred tons of galleys just by hitting them, not to mention the muskets and furlong cannons on board.
Then, these 5 galleys will escort Suha to the Great Khing'an Mountains to recruit Sauron warriors. According to Marin's knowledge, the average speed of the ordinary galleys that were not converted into Calais was about 4.5 knots, or 8.33 kilometers per hour, or 16.66 miles. It is about 2,800 kilometers from the city of Nuergan to the Mohe River in the north of the Great Khingan Mountains. At the speed of a galley, it takes about 336 hours, which is equivalent to 14 days. However, galleys are driven by human power, and 10 hours a day is the limit for oarsmen. Therefore, it will take more than a month to go one way, and two or three months to go back and forth.
Ma Lin calculated, if the galleys could arrive in Keelung earlier, they would still have time to go north and go to Daxinganling. However, to go to the Far East, galleys must first bypass South America. Therefore, it may not be possible to arrive within the specified time.
Therefore, in the first year, Ma Lin's only choice was to buy a few river boats in Daming and escort Suha back to the Great Khing'an Mountains to recruit warriors of the same clan.
Only when Suha has the protection of the warriors of the same clan, can the subsequent actions be carried out one after another. Marin would then send him civil and military officers to help him train the warriors of Sauron.
And for the fierce Sauron warriors, they are physically strong enough. Moreover, they are also very savage and brave personally. Therefore, there is no need for retraining in this area. For the Sauron warriors, the most important thing they need to train is discipline and tactics. With discipline and tactics, coupled with advanced weaponry and equipment, the combat effectiveness of the already strong soldiers will definitely increase exponentially.
The reason why Nurhachi was able to defeat tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Ula Department with 3,000 Eight Banner soldiers was not that the Jianzhou Jurchens were more brave than the Haixi Jurchens, but the two equally brave men and horses.
Marin sent officers to train Sauron warriors who were already more brave than the Jurchens with modern discipline and tactics, and then issued them cotton armor and steel weapons.
Cotton armor is very easy to get in Daming. It is now the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and in addition to the border army, the guards in other places have long been eroded. As long as Kong Tai is willing to spend money, he can even sell cotton armor of the Ming army. Or, buy a group of craftsmen and make your own cotton armor.
Ma Lin thought about it and felt that he needed a large quantity, so he still bought a group of military craftsmen from the Ming army and went to Taiwan Island to help make cotton armor.
At that time, the Sauron soldiers under Suha not only received modern military training, but also wore cotton armor and held steel knives and recurve bows made by the Beihai Kingdom, so it was strange that they would not beat other forces in the northeast......
As for Suha himself, Marin not only provided him with cotton armor, but also gave him an additional light inner armor made of rhinoceros skin to enhance his ability to protect himself. In the northeast, where there are no muskets and crossbows, wearing rhinoceros leather armor inside the cotton armor is basically invincible......
