After sending Jama Khan away, Marin could not wait to send someone to invite 32 Cossack strong men among the more than 100 Cossacks to his palace. Then, Marin ordered people to entertain this group of Cossack strong men with good wine and food.

In the palace compound, Marin sat on the steps, protected by Karn and other guards to prevent any Cossacks from suddenly attacking. And the 32 Cossacks, each of whom had a table in front of him. Then, the palace attendants brought a large plate of braised pork and beer roast duck and other dishes, each of which was very generous. At the same time, in front of each Cossack man, a bottle of a pound of rye was placed in front of him.

"Whiskey?" Sure enough, among this group of Cossack strongmen, there are people who know the goods. The man was dressed relatively decently, probably the chief of the Cossack tribe or something. So, he knows the whisky that sells well in Eastern Europe (rye two-pot head).

Probably hungry, the rough-looking man couldn't wait to pull the cork, pour a big mouthful into his mouth, and then showed a very comfortable expression.

The Cossacks on the side were stunned for a moment, so they hurriedly asked in Kievan Rus' (Ukrainian):

"Boshkin, what are you drinking?"

They didn't recognize what was in the bottle in front of them, and no wonder, they had never seen such a clear wine. After all, the wine that these ordinary Cossacks usually drink is rather cloudy. In other words, throughout Europe, the wine that people drink now, whether it is wine or beer, is relatively cloudy in color. Whisky is a little dark because it is mixed with black sugar and other substances, but it is still much clearer than low-quality and cloudy wine. Therefore, it is normal for this group of turtles not to recognize it as wine.

The Cossack named Boshkin burped contentedly, and suddenly there was a strong smell of alcohol. Now he didn't need to explain, the other Cossack men also knew that it was wine. Moreover, it smells from the boshkin punch - it's strong. Otherwise, Boshkin would not have had such a strong belch after only taking one sip......

Then, without Marin's greeting, these Cossack men pulled off the cork one after another and scrambled to pour it into their mouths......

Probably because they were in a hurry, or maybe someone had never drunk such strong alcohol, and several Cossack men choked on strong alcohol. However, this did not stop them from continuing to drink......

……

"Bang! I didn't even say a feast, and these bastards drank? It's too unruly, right? Marin was dumbfounded.

However, the thought that the Cossack group as a whole was most famous for its lack of rules made Marin relieved.

Throughout the centuries-old history of the Cossacks, for most of the time, the Cossacks were synonymous with poor discipline. The most important characteristic of the Cossack cavalry was its fierce personality, but its military discipline was lax. Such an army is very powerful in fighting against the wind, but it is very good at fighting against the wind...... Still don't mention it......

However, the Cossack also had his advantage, which was super-mobility. Eastern European Mongolian horses are endurance breeds, so the Cossack cavalry is as mobile as the Mongol cavalry.

It was precisely because of the great mobility of the Cossacks that successive tsars recruited the Cossacks and occupied the vast expanse of Siberia and fought all the way to the Far East.

Marin recruited Cossacks, in addition to using Cossack cavalry to help him defeat his opponents, he did not use Cossacks to help him conquer America.

These undisciplined Cossacks may not be able to defeat the regular European armies, but it is no problem to bully the Indians who have not yet acquired war horses.

Although Marin is now underpopulated and not enough to run the whole of America, it is no problem to use tens of thousands of Cossacks to occupy the territory first.

Moreover, the brutality of the Cossacks against civilians, in a sense, was also needed by Marin. You know, the battle for land is extremely cruel to think about.

If Marin wants to occupy all of America, he will inevitably have a bloody conflict with the Indians, the original owners of the land. After all, fertile land is what everyone wants.

Just like the Russian Far East, in order to occupy the Far East permanently, Tsarist Russia either killed or expelled the local Chinese. By the time of the 21st century, the Far East was basically Maozi, and there were no more Chinese. The "Jiangdong 64 Tun" tragedy was Mao Zi's purge of the Chinese in the annexed Far East.

Not to mention Maozi's barbarism back then, Maozi's purge of the Chinese in the Far East did lead to very few Chinese in the Far East in later generations. So much so that if Huaxia wants to return to the Far East, it can't start - you say you want this land, what about public opinion? The local residents are all Maozi, and they are willing to merge into Huaxia? Huaxia really wants to recover the Far East, and even if it occupies this land, it will face resistance from the local Maozi residents. Unless, drive them all out. Otherwise, there will never be peace. Moreover, in the process of driving away Maozi, blood will inevitably flow all over the ground.

In the same way, Marin almost had to take over the Americas and drive out the indigenous peoples. Otherwise, ethnic conflicts will be indispensable in the future. Just like Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Serbs, Croats and Muslims have played a dog's brain......

But the Germans were relatively civilized, and Marin forbade soldiers to massacre civilians. But the colonization of the Americas was inevitably accompanied by bloody conflicts over land. Since the German regular army did not do such dirty work, then those brutal Cossacks became the best choice for Marin.

Marin could have learned from Maozi's Ivan IV, while using the Cossacks to conquer the Americas, driving and slaughtering the natives; On the other hand, they are condemning the brutality of the Cossacks...... Historically, Ivan IV played such a duplicitous trick, sacked the Tatars with Cossacks, and finally unified the steppes of Eastern Europe. Then, Ivan IV, also known as the Great and the Thunder by Mao Zizun.

That is, the Cossacks will become the "black gloves" of Marin's conquest of America. All the bloody and violent side, will be pushed on the heads of the Cossacks. And Marin will always be "wise".

Sitting on the high platform, Marin was stunned for a while, and forgot to greet those Cossacks.

However, these Cossack strong men did not know what "politeness" was at all. Probably because the whiskey was too scorching, the Cossacks grabbed the beer roast duck with their hands. The waiters hurriedly handed over the spoons, and then the fools began to dig up the braised pork with the spoons again......

"Oh my God! These dishes are so delicious! ”

"Oh, Allah, these dishes are so delicious!"

Then the Cossacks, who were usually fond of drinking in large bowls and eating large pieces of meat, ate and drank like starving ghosts......

The composition of the Cossacks is complex, the main body of the Ukrainian Cossacks is Ukrainian, but there are also Poles, Lithuanians, and a small number of Tatars.

The Tatars were Allahian, however, these Tatars, who became Cossacks, were not sincere in their faith. This is because the rule of Allah is that you are not allowed to drink alcohol or eat pork. However, these Tatars, who had become Cossacks, not only drank strong wine in large bowls, but also devoured braised pork made of pork, without any regard for the canons. Not to mention these free and unruly Cossacks, even those Tatars of the Crimean Khanate, although they do not eat pork (mainly because there are too many cattle and sheep in the steppes of Eastern Europe, and they do not need to eat pork), they do not drink less.

Moreover, since they have become Cossacks, these people themselves do not care about the rules, and they do not care about the beliefs.

After a meal of wine and meat, the group of Cossacks was immediately bought. The Cossack leader named Boshkin told Marin through an interpreter that as long as there was enough wine and meat in the future, the whole family would not be hungry, and he would sell his life to Marin......

"Hahahaha!" Marin laughed. For him, wine and meat or something, as much as there is. What he lacks most now is a high-level thug.

However, for this group of Cossacks, although Marin received them, he did not arrange them in one place, but divided them into two parts and arranged them in two German Cossack villages that had already been built. In this way, the small number of Cossacks also prevents these Cossacks from becoming too powerful to submit to discipline.

Moreover, in the future, Marin will always follow this example and mix these genuine Ukrainian Cossacks with the fake German Cossacks, so as not to get out of control. At the same time, the chiefs and military chiefs of those Cossack villages would also be Germans. But in order to respect those Ukrainian Cossacks, a Cossack chief will also be elected as an adjutant. In this way, it was also possible to ensure that the Cossacks did not lose control.

Finally, there is the question of faith. After all, most of these Cossacks from Eastern Europe believed in either Orthodox Christianity or Allah, and only a minority believed in Catholicism. However, as the monarch of a Catholic country, Marin must ensure that the whole country is Catholic.

So, Marin sent people to test the Cossacks and try to convert them to Catholicism. Of course, some means were also used - the supply of spirits and meat for non-conversion Catholics was halved......

As a result, this group of Cossacks, who were already not firm in their faith, did not hesitate to convert......

Marin had to admit that he overestimated the temperance of these Cossacks. In fact, in the original history, these Cossacks, who originally believed in different religions, also at the request of the tsar, all went to Orthodox Christianity. Therefore, the question of conversion was not a big deal for the Cossacks, who had no discipline. If you had been strong in your faith, you would not have become a Cossack......
