Chapter 1916: Hai Dongqing's Aerial Reconnaissance Ability

No wonder Marin was surprised, because the Sauron warriors are so famous in the history of China! Solon is actually the old name of the Evenki people, and the Ming and Qing dynasties also included the Daur and Oroqen people in the Heilongjiang region in the northeast.

In ancient times, the Evenks, who grew up in the bitter cold land of the White Mountains and Black Water in the northeast, were very brave and good at fighting. They were hunters in the deep mountains and old forests of the Northeast, and their archery skills were very powerful. Later, he also came into contact with the Horqin Mongols in the west and introduced Mongolian horses. Then, the Saurons, who were skilled in archery and learned to ride horses, became the strongest archers of their time. Moreover, they are not weak in close combat, and they are very brave.

However, it was precisely because of his invincibility that he was later favored by the rising Manchu Qing. Then, the cunning Huang Taiji sent troops from Jilin to the north, fought to the Heilongjiang Valley, and conquered the Saurons there through three conquests.

One might ask, didn't you say that the warriors of Sauron were invincible? Why was it conquered by the Manchus? The Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were even better?

It's not like that, it's that the Saurons themselves are scattered, and they are not a unified and powerful force. Although the Sauron warriors are very powerful individually, each tribe has a maximum of a few hundred Sauron warriors. As a result, the Manchu Qing were given a chance to break through.

This is mainly because the northern part of the Northeast was too bitter cold and the living environment was too harsh. This, combined with the fact that the Saurons did not farm, but only hunted, made it impossible for a large population to gather.

Because, the prey resources in an area are limited, if too many people are crowded in one area, then the prey will not be enough to hunt, and everyone will go hungry.

Therefore, the Sauron people generally lived in the form of small tribes, scattered in the deep mountains and old forests near the Great Khing'an Mountains in the northeast, and it was difficult to fight against the Manchus.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was originally the Jianzhou Jurchen, the ethnic group with the highest degree of sinicization in the northeast, and Nurhachi even worked as an errand under Li Chengliang for a long time, so he naturally knew Chinese and was familiar with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Because of the high degree of sinicization, the Jianzhou Jurchens have long learned to farm. Moreover, the Jurchen tribe traditionally raised pigs, and the food source was naturally much richer than that of the Saurons, who could only hunt, and naturally they could gather more people in the tribe and even build cities.

If the same men and horses and the same level of command were the same, the fierce Sauron people would definitely be able to beat the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, the problem lies in the fact that there are many Manchus and few Saurons. Therefore, it is not surprising that it was conquered by the Manchus.

And after the Manchus conquered the Sauron tribes, they very insidiously used the Sauron warriors as cannon fodder. Just like when they captured the wild Jurchens in the mountains, let the Saurons charge to the death, and then the real Manchus followed behind to pick up the cheap and grab the heads......

How important were the Sauron soldiers to the Qing Dynasty? From before entering the customs, the Manchu Qing Dynasty began to trend the savage Jurchen and Sauron soldiers to rush to the front as cannon fodder to attract the firepower of the Ming army. Of course, the Sauron soldiers are more valued because of their strong combat power.

In the early Manchu Dynasty, the Manchu Eight Banners were still able to fight. However, in the Kangxi period, the Manchu Eight Banners rapidly corrupted and degenerated due to their long-term fine clothes and food, and their combat effectiveness declined sharply. By the time Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, the Manchurian Eight Banners had become a model goods. In the end, it still relied on the 400,000 green battalion soldiers who surrendered from the Ming Dynasty to pacify the three feudatories.

Later, Kangxi also seemed to realize the depravity of the Manchu Eight Banners after entering the customs. But he can't help it, because, after everyone enters the customs, they are all masters, they don't have to produce, they have to be served by people when they eat and dress, what combat effectiveness do you expect those Eight Banners children to have? By the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was not surprising that the children of the Eight Banners had become synonymous with waste.

So, Kangxi pinned his hopes on the Sauron people who still lived in the northeast. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Sauron soldiers, Kangxi did not allow the Sauron people to farm, and let them continue to hunt and survive in the white mountains and black waters, and maintain a barbaric style of life to maintain strong combat effectiveness.

Then, once there was a war, the Qing court frantically conscripted "Sauron warriors" to be cannon fodder......

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there were tens of thousands of Sauron people in the northeast (that is, the Evenks) alone, and there were 50,000 Daur people known as the Sauron tribe, and the Oroqen people were a little less, but there were tens of thousands. Combined, there were more than 100,000 Saurons at that time.

But from the Kangxi period, because he realized that the Manchu Eight Banners were no longer usable, he began to frantically recruit Sauron soldiers to fight. The craziest is Kangxi's grandson Qianlong, Qianlong suffers from severe "Sauron warrior dependence", and carried out a super crazy requisition of the Sauron Department in the northeast.

Qianlong called himself "Ten Perfect Old Men", which means that he has won ten battles. However, some of the toughest battles were fought with the help of the Saurons.

For example, in the battle to pacify the western frontier, it was the Sauron people who were the vanguard and helped them defeat the Dzungar tribe and the big and small Hezhuo. Later, the Manchus were stationed in the Soren camp in Khorgos in Ili to suppress local revolts.

Moreover, at that time, the Xibe tribe was also a vassal of the Sauron battalion, and went to guard the western frontier in the name of the Sauron battalion. The Xijiang Xibe tribe, where the famous actress Tong Liya belonged in later generations, moved west with the Suolon camp during the battle in Western Xinjiang at that time.

In addition, Qianlong's repulsion of Burma and defeat of the Nepalese Gurkha soldiers also relied on the Sauron soldiers. It can be said that without the Sauron warriors, the "Ten Complete Martial Arts" of the Great Chief of Qianlong would be several less.

However, Qianlong's frenzied conquest of the Sauron people also caused the population of the Sauron to decline wildly. After all, many Sauron warriors were sent to the battlefield by the Qing Dynasty as cannon fodder and were killed.

If nothing else, one statistic speaks for itself. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there were tens of thousands of Evenks in Sauron's headquarters, 50,000 in Daur, and 10,000 in Oroqen.

However, three hundred years later, look at the three tribes of Solon - there are only 30,000 Evenks, 130,000 Daurs, and the Oroqen are the worst, with only more than 8,000 left......

You know, that's 300 years! Children give birth to grandchildren, and grandchildren give birth to children, according to the normal situation, there should be at least a million people in the three clans. However, because of the heavy dependence of the Manchus and the endless conscriptions, a large number of Saurons died on the battlefield, and the population did not increase but declined......

……

None of the above matters, the most important thing is - Sauron Warriors are really good for fighting in the jungle!

In the family, my ancestors have lived in the deep mountains and old forests of the Northeast for generations, and because of hunting, I have practiced a very powerful archery. Moreover, because there are many bears and Siberian tigers in the jungle of the Northeast, in order to survive, the Sauron people have fought with jackals, tigers and leopards, and their combat effectiveness is naturally not low. In other words, the combat effectiveness is very strong. Even the Manchu Eight Banners at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which had defeated many of the Ming army, recognized that the combat effectiveness of the Sauron people was "the best in the world", which shows how fierce the Sauron people were.

Moreover, after learning to ride horses, their riding and archery are even more powerful than the Manchurians who boast about riding and shooting all day long. Just like the 5 Evenki slaves who domesticated Haidongqing that Ma Lin bought from the Yehebu of the Haixi Jurchens, they are very good at riding and shooting. Moreover, it is especially adapted to the jungle environment.

This time, Marin sent the phalanx leader Nubi to take a group of German Black Forest hunters to the North American jungle to clean up the local indigenous Indians. Then, shine in the clean-up battle......

It's not that these 5 people are all strong in martial arts and can be a hundred, but their role is too great!

In jungle warfare, the most feared thing is that the enemy hides in the jungle and escapes, which is difficult to track. Even if Marin got a lot of Black Forest hunters and used hounds to track down the native Indians. However, because the tracking speed of the hound is not fast, and the speed at which the hound smells the smell on the ground, how can anyone run fast? Moreover, hunting dogs that are too bold are also easy to be shot by the natives with bows and arrows.

However, the five Sauron eagle keepers who went to the exhibition this time gave Nubi a glimpse of what a cow is called......

The Black Forest hunters on your side use their hounds to slowly track the enemy on the ground, and the Sauron falconers directly use Haidongqing to conduct aerial reconnaissance......

No matter how fast the indigenous Indians run, can Hai Dongqing fly fast? Moreover, these days, the Indians don't know how to wear camouflage uniforms to lurk, but like to wear colorful flowers, and apply brightly colored paint to their bodies, Hai Dongqing doesn't have to be too easy to track them!

The five Sauron falconers, Bai Geri, Suha, Balhu, Yadan, and Muren, used Hai Dongqing's aerial reconnaissance to easily find those Indian indigenous tribes hidden in the jungle. Then, with an army of thousands of Black Forest hunters, Nubi easily surrounded the hidden Native Indian tribes.

Therefore, the most powerful thing about these 5 people is not their combat effectiveness, but their ability to use Haidongqing to scout the indigenous Indians in the jungle. Of course, their own combat effectiveness is also very strong, and it is no problem to fight several Indians at once. In particular, after they wore armor. The Indians' earthen bows and arrows could not penetrate their armor, but they could easily shoot their opponents......

Nubi asserts that if the five falconers can follow them all the time to clear the natives, it will be very easy to wipe out all the natives in a large area. Because, Hai Dongqing's aerial reconnaissance is too incomprehensible......

No matter how fast you run, no falcon can fly fast. In addition, the eagle's eyesight is very good, and the Indians do not know how to disguise, which can greatly facilitate the North Sea army to clear and conquer the Indians hiding in the jungles of North America.

Nubi thinks that if you use the Sea Scouts in conjunction with the Black Forest Hunters, you can easily solve the threat of the Indians in the jungle. Then, to develop North America, there is no need to slowly cut down trees and take steps at all. As long as they conduct a large-scale reconnaissance with Haidongqing and then clear all the indigenous people in the nearby jungle, the settlers can comfortably exploit this rich and fertile forest......

"Equip the Chasseur unit with Haidongqing Tamers as scouts? That's a great idea! Marin's eyes lit up......
