In less than half an hour, under the guidance of Liang Gong, Bekotov walked into the Imperial Servant Bureau in high spirits.

With "Mr. Buick" came, just as Hongyi "expected", there were several more of his subordinates: Anton, Nikolai, Sergey, Yuri, and Ivan, who was praised by Mr. Buick as "the smartest" and ready to "run back to Moscow".

And these five are the main force that pleaded with Mr. Beko to find the chapel that day, and then accompanied the "group fight" in the Xi'an Gate, in fact, they are also counted as Bekotov's cronies, and they are naturally all remembered by Du Duhu in the ten "Assigned to the 'Xiao Riding School' of Pashku".

"The slave greets Lord Belle!" The leader, Bekotov, was wearing and flicking his sleeves[1] and took the lead in saluting respectfully.

Although it was said to be "please be safe", the six "Alba people" all gave Hongyi a big gift to the clothed slave to see the master - one bow and three bows, and they did it well.

"Well, let's all get up." Hongyi was very useful, waved them up, and continued:

"A few of you, although there was some trouble yesterday, the emperor remembered that you came to naturalize from afar and did not settle down for a long time, so he will not be held accountable. The emperor and the queen mother also asked for a decree to give you, and your 300 brothers to marry a wife and start a family, and start a family, are you willing? ”

"Minions willing! Minions are willing! Before Bekotov could answer first, the rest of the four people were all shouting in impatience, except for one, who was called Sergei.

"Soldiers, silence!" Bekotov, who was standing at the front, reluctantly turned around and scolded, as he wished, seeing that his subordinates quickly returned to a respectful and humble appearance. Only then did he reply loudly:

"The slave swears allegiance to the emperor and swears allegiance to the Qing Dynasty!"

"The slave swears allegiance to the emperor and swears allegiance to the Qing Dynasty!" With the reminder of the leader, the military attaches of the Qing Dynasty, who had not been naturalized for a long time, immediately exerted their strength, and the momentum of answering in unison was high, and sure enough, the eyes of the room full of Han officials were all attracted to it.

Hongyi just wanted to make this group of Rakshasa people behave in a uniform manner, and swore loudly, so he was naturally very satisfied, and nodded with a smile.

He had his own considerations for making this arrangement - such a major event as a Rakshasa marrying a wife, which was similar to a "royal marriage", actually relied on a group of officials of the Zongren Mansion to handle it. Success or failure is the key to success. It's all about whether they do their best or not.

But the officials of the Heavenly Empire. At this moment, what is the attitude towards these barbarians who were still Rakshasa bandits three months ago? Hongyi doesn't know what to do. Maybe they are still despising this group of soldiers in their hearts, how can they expect them to do their errands at full speed? Therefore, Hongyi arranged for Liang Gong to pass them over by himself, and naturally he would explain it well on the way.

Looking at it now, it works well. At least the room full of people saw such an obedient and sensible Rakshasa devil. No more scoffing. It's a surprise. Knowing politeness is a good child, and advocating etiquette is naturalization! This "Yixia Debate" still has a considerable effect!

"I say, the 'Cossack warrior' - Anton. Are your arms better? If you fight, you don't lose the scene, this is what my pro-soldiers should do! Hongyi did not forget to preach his condolences. Manchurian people are the most polite, and meeting and greeting is also a necessary item, but the master is a great favor to the slave.

"If you go back to the master, the slave is much better! No impact on ...... On the orders of Emperor Bixia...... Get married as soon as possible! Anton's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly answered the key to the question eagerly in not very neat Manchu. This sentence instantly caused a burst of laughter among the Manchu and Han officials who were busy around them, the naturalized barbarians are still barbarians in the end, and they are anxious to marry a wife! After the laughter, the officials quickly calmed down, and their work did not stop.

Hongyi also smiled happily, seeing their happy smiles, he knew that his decision must be extremely correct.

"Anton, you...... Don't be rude! Still, Bekotov had to scold. Although his desire to marry a wife is stronger than theirs, he is now an official of the Qing Dynasty, and he must have the consciousness of a "senior cadre"! What's more, on the way here, the "Liang Guanjia" has already revealed that he will be promoted again, so he must maintain the authority of the little master anytime, anywhere, and work harder, which is the performance of "repaying the favor".

"Buick, don't worry, I know you're happy!" Hongyi affectionately called Bekotov without a little disgust, which made the six clothed minions happy.

"Have you all learned the lessons of that day? Nikolai, you are also a Cossack, right? Hongyi continued to ask.

"If you go back to your master, the minions are also Cossacks! That little wound is nothing! Nikolai fell to his knees in return.

"Oh, get up, you are also people with official positions now, when you see me in the future, just say hello to Qian'er at the beginning, let the family know that you have entered my door for a day, or you will treat me as a master for the rest of your life, this is enough. If I ask the subject, I still treat each other with the courtesy of an official, do you understand? ”

"Got it!" Several people answered in unison, and the degree of uniformity became higher and higher.

"Sergey, I heard from the leader of the Bekzo, did you work as a priest in Москва, the city of the lord of the Rakshasa kingdom, before you returned?" Hongyi uttered the word "Moscow" in a very natural and pure classical Russian. "Thank you Professor Hu for teaching the scientific socialism course back then! Thank you also for Mr. Buick's voice correction in the past two days! Hongyi thought silently in his heart.

"Yes, my esteemed master!" Sergei did behave like a priest as later generations would say, gentle and elegant, and there was no trace of the brawl at Xihuamen that day.

"Cathedral of the Assumption?" Hongyi said tentatively. No one told him this information, but he decided to try his luck anyway.

"Mary, Nativity! How do you know, O my Lord? I've never talked to anyone about it......" Sergei looked at Hongyi with great admiration as if he had seen a saint descend. If it weren't for the limitations of his servant status, he would have drawn a cross on his chest at once!

The five people on the side, including Bekotov, were also dumbfounded!

Bingo！ Great! Wonderful! Won the lottery! Hongyi forcibly suppressed the excitement of winning the grand prize and congratulated himself on his good luck.

It's no wonder that Hongyi would use the name "Cathedral of the Assumption" to gamble. And in one hit. It turned out that when he was in college, Professor Hu once said that the Assumption Cathedral of Our Lady of Moscow is not an ordinary Orthodox church, it is regarded as the "mother church" of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. From 1547 to 1896, the coronation of Russian monarchs was held here. In addition, most of the patriarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church and the Moscow Metropolitan are buried here. The church also played a very important role in the political life of Russia, it was the place where the princes of Russia swore allegiance to the Grand Duke of Moscow, and after "Ivan the Terrible" added the title of "Tsar", it became the church where the tsar was crowned. Even during the period of the CPSU ban on religion. Only this church is still open to the public. Revered by the Orthodox Church. It can be seen that its position is important!

Another reason is that in the twelfth year of Shunzhi, in 1655, the famous Moscow church was built before that. There are only a few. The status is not as good as this Cathedral of the Assumption! It was between 1475 and 1479. It was commissioned by the Italian architect Fioravanti, Grand Duke Ivan III of Moscow.

Hongyi ignored Sergei's adoring eyes, because it was so similar to John Tang that day, but continued to say steadily:

"And what is your priesthood in the Cathedral of the Assumption?"

"Back to the master's words. The minion is of a very low grade in the service of God, and is a monk auxiliary in the white god product. Sergey replied truthfully, be honest.

"Oh, are you willing to turn into a black god product? It's just that I can't marry and have children like Anton......" Hongyi said, looking at Bekotov.

"Huh? Minion...... Minions are willing! Unexpectedly, Sergei was so excited that he knelt on the ground to thank him.

In terms of divine qualities, the Orthodox Church implemented the patriarchal system after the split from Catholicism, and the divine qualities were divided into black and white: black divine products include monks, friars' auxiliaries, monks' archaisants, monks' priests, monks' priests, bishops, archbishops, overlords (representatives of patriarchs in foreign dioceses), metropolitans, and patriarchs; The white gods include chanters, deputy assistants, auxiliary priests, high priests, priests, high priests, chief priests, etc. The main difference between the two is that most of the white gods are secular people, and basically the best people who have been trained by monasteries or universities can participate. The black gods are mainly full-time religious personnel. As for whether he can get married, generally speaking, Bai Shenpin can get married, but the highest rank is the chief priest, and he can't be at the level of a local bishop. And the black god is not allowed to get married in principle......

"Oh, no wonder you didn't argue with Anton to marry a wife, it seems that you are dedicated to Buddha!" Hongyi deliberately changed the concept and called the main god of the Orthodox Church "Buddha"! This is a meaningful move - one is to let the officials of the Zongren Mansion who have been listening to the clouds and mountains understand that we are talking about the way of the gods and ghosts of the Rakshasa people. Second, it's useful later!

"Master, Sergei is actually our clergy since we left Moscow at that time, indeed...... Dedicated to the Buddha. Mr. Buick added, and quoted the master's latest instructions.

"Well, the emperor has ordered me to add the title of 'Southern Return to Alba Pipe Belt', and in the next few days, I will find a haode place for you and build a 'Rakshasa Temple', so that you can have a place to worship the gods and Buddhas of this Rakshasa country in the future. The day after tomorrow is Sunday, so you can go to the south church of John Tong, the prison supervisor of Chinten, to celebrate Mass, but I can remind you that Tonomafa is a Catholic ......."

"Thank you, master!" Six Orthodox Christians knelt to Shebel.

"Yuri, your musket is extremely accurate, and I remember you when you performed martial arts in the Mulan paddock that day!" Hiroki waited for them to get up again, and then moved the conversation down to the young man named "Yuri".

"The praise of the owner of the xiexie!" Yuri was born with fine skin and tender meat, and he was born with the appearance of a student, and God knows that he became a member of the Crusade expedition!

"Lord Belle, Yuri not only shoots accurately, but also repairs firearms!" Bekotov slowly lost his own way, and found a little way to be a Qing official, or a Chinese official, that is, to introduce his subordinates in time, so that he could be a friend.

"Oh? Is it? Hongyi secretly admired his luck today! To tell the truth, in the middle of the seventeenth century, Russia's scientific and technological capabilities had not yet advanced by leaps and bounds due to the reforms of Peter the Great, and the ordnance technology was almost at the bottom of Europe. But compared with today's Qing Empire, it is still possible to learn from each other's strengths.

"My family has been a watchmaker for generations, and when I was ten years old, my father sent me to study at the Mogila Academy in Kyiv, graduating the year before. So I was able to read for Bekotovzo, keep accounts, and repair guns. Yuri said very modestly, but he was very excited to listen to Hongyi!

Mogila Academy in Kyiv?! The famous Mogila Academy! The establishment of the Kiev Mogila Academy in 1632 was an epoch-making event in the history of Russian higher education, marking the birth of Russian higher education. From its foundation in 1632 to 1819, the Kiev Mogila Academy trained more than 1,200 high-level specialists, providing intellectual support and talent guarantee for the political, economic, cultural and educational reforms of Peter I. When the Kiev Mogila Academy was founded, it had eight classes modeled after the Jesuit higher schools in Western Europe, and these eight classes were divided into four classes in the "Elementary Division", two classes in the "Intermediate Division" and two classes in the "Advanced Division".

Of particular note is the fact that the institute admits children of different classes (about one-third are children of monks and clergy) for a period of 12 years; In the junior division, students are taught Slavic, Greek, Latin and Russian (reading, writing, grammar), prayer, religious quizzes, arithmetic, music, singing; Teaching poetics (poetry) and rhetoric to students in the Intermediate Division; In the upper grades, students are taught philosophical and doctrinal studies, and from the end of the 17th century theology, foreign languages (French, German, English) and some practical subjects (painting, architecture, geography, etc.) were added.

In other words, Yuri may be the only comrade in the entire Qing Dynasty, except for Zeng Hongyi, who has enjoyed the "12-year education system"! Valuable talents! And shoot guns! Will repair guns again......

"Well, maybe your strengths are much more than that!" Hongyi praised and had a plan in his heart. Now it's the turn of this group of important "dragon actors" to play the main role!

"Ivan, you are a Ukrainian nobleman?" Hongyi asked loudly.

"Back to my master, my distant relative in Ukraine is the head of the Ukrainian Cossacks, Hetman. Bogdan. Khmelnitsky. The minion's father died while fighting with Khmelnitsky against the Ottoman Empire, and I became an orphan, so I followed the expedition with the Buick Zo Leader...... Oh, follow the Buick Zuo to lead the east back to the Qing Dynasty. "The smartest Ivan is indeed extraordinary, although the Manchu language is still a little jerky, but the meaning is very clear, the key is to find the difference between "Eastern Expedition" and "Eastern Return to the Qing Dynasty" in time.

"Well, then you're a serious Ukrainian nobleman, and you're smart!" Hongyi commented loudly.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Ivan was overjoyed and fell to his knees in thanksgiving.

Although the clever Ivan knew that he was appreciated by the little master, he didn't know that at this moment, there was a Master Du Duhu who was "struggling to write"!

Du Duhu listened to the entire master-servant dialogue clearly, did not hesitate, wrote competently, and wrote a line of standardized Manchu text clearly and clearly - Bekotovzo led his personal entourage: Anton and Ivan.

These two people, Anton is brave and loyal, Ivan is capable and intelligent, and they are all the best candidates to be relatives, as for Nikolai, who is also a Cossack, Sergei, who is dedicated to Buddha, and Yuri, the son of a watch repairer who is greatly admired by the master, it seems that they can play a better role in that "company......

What "the smartest Ivan" doesn't know is that his future responsibilities are already on his shoulders at this time!

[The Rakshasas involved in this chapter, with the exception of Bekotov, are all apocryphal characters. However, the proportion of Russians, Cossacks and Ukrainians refers to the actual proportions of the Albazins who surrendered to Kangxi in later generations. 】

[1] Horseshoe sleeves, also called "arrow sleeves", are called "waha" in Manchu, that is, on the narrow cuffs, and then take out a semicircular "sleeve head", shaped like a horseshoe, commonly known as horseshoe sleeves, because the weather in the north is cold, this is for the cold handguard. After the Manchus entered the customs, because the arrow sleeve has become a symbol of the Manchu national tradition, the Qing Dynasty's "Huidian" stipulates that the dragon robe of the emperor and empress, and the python robe of the prince, Baylor, and civil and military officials all have arrow sleeves. Such a garment became the dress of a man with status, and when he wanted to salute someone, he quickly lowered his horseshoe sleeves, otherwise it would be disrespectful. At this time, the arrow sleeve has lost its role as a cold protection arm. This form of arrow sleeves can still be seen on the sleeves of the rural areas of the north, especially for elderly drivers.
