Chapter 348 - The Alba Team (XXXIII)
"Master, like a despicable villain like Wu Langri, the slave disdains to be with him!"
When Buicto heard that the master wanted him to live in harmony with his enemies and unite as one, he subconsciously said yes, and while talking, he waved his right fist in a matter-of-fact manner, as if the two of them had reached the point of incompatibility.
When the matter has come to such a field, it is already clear - he, Bekotov, has fallen for the tricks of the old fox of Woolangri! He wanted to deal with Stepanov that day, but the old fox did not agree. Now that the situation is becoming clearer and clearer, it is clear that it is useful for the master to keep his dog's life, but Wu Langri pries himself to force Stepanov to death.
It's a pity that he really hit the plan, Wu Langgeri happened to "kill three birds with one stone" and "take the sheep by the hand" - first, he successfully transferred the trust that had just been established between himself and the master; secondly, he Wu Langeri replaced himself and ascended to the throne; Thirdly, the Alba team, which had just become a bull, naturally came under his command of Wu Langgri and became the new "Russian team"!
This revenge is not avenged, not husband!
"Buicto, have you thought about it, why did Wu Langri design to frame you? And I, why do I want you to endure humiliation and be an Alba? Hongyi was not in a hurry, he also waved his hand and continued to ask patiently.
"This ...... The slave doesn't know, please teach the master! ”
"Well, I'll tell you. The reason why Wu Langri is trying to replace you is because he has a competitive nature in his bones. Before you surrendered, he was the most outstanding among the Rakshasa descendants, although he was only a leader in charge of the fifth grade, but at least the leader of more than a dozen Rakshasas. Yours are born. It's really robbing other people's jobs! ”
"This ......"
As soon as Bekto thought that he had to sit with the high-ranking officials by confessing his leader, he really agreed with the master's opinion in his heart, and he was silent.
"It's just that he entered China earlier, so he inevitably got contaminated with the vices of officialdom, and learned to write a very effective method of writing three indiscriminately, and used it on you again. Don't blame him, blame the surroundings! ”
“……”
Buictor didn't speak, because he didn't understand.
"Therefore, I hope that you can maintain the simple and persistent blood nature of today, and later contaminate the vices of the officialdom around you."
This time. Buictor understood—he even thought about it before he came. After arranging the arrangement of the priest Sergei, he suddenly became a little embarrassed, and hurriedly knelt down and said:
"The minions have written it down!"
"Well, good! Get up. Hongyi even sat there and stretched out a hand. Extremely caring.
"Tell me more. Why do I want you to bear the burden of humiliation? Do a pure Alba Niu Lu Zhangjing as soon as possible? ”
"Minions are stupid." Buicto only dared and could only tell the truth at this time.
"As for the Alba, you should also know that the Rakshasa people call them Albazin."
"Master. I know that. But why do you still name us by the name of the Rakshasas? "Buicto asked a very good question!
"What are the Rakshasa people called? Ha Luha, you don't know anything about this. In fact, this Albazin people are not called out by the Rakshasas, but in the name of my Qing people...... "Hongyi was satisfied with the result of the topic, and gave Buicto a free lesson, of course, it is the historical data up to the twelfth year of Shunzhi-
In the middle of the 17th century, at the time of the change of dynasties in China, Russian invaders set foot on the lands of the Heilongjiang River valley in China, starting with the Yaksa. It was the domain of the Daurs of the Sauron. In the fifth year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty, that is, in 1640 AD, Huang Taiji conquered the Sauron Department and burned down the original Yaksa wooden city. Later, the leader of the Daur people of the Sauron tribe, "Albasi", built a new city on the old site. In the eighth year of Shunzhi, the Russians captured the city, and then named it "Albazin" in the name of Albasi.
From then on, the Qing and Russian sides fought over Yaksa until 1665, when the Russian-Polish Chernigovsky gathered 84 criminals and fled to the Heilongjiang River valley to reoccupy Yaksa, which had been abandoned by the Qing army. At that time, because the Qing Dynasty government was dealing with Wu Sangui's rebellion, there was no time to take care of the northeast frontier, so it had to let the Russian invaders entrench in the Yaksa Castle and its surrounding areas, and a large number of colonists gathered here until the 22nd, 24th, and 25th years of Kangxi, and the Qing Dynasty sent troops to suppress it many times, and finally occupied the city. During this period, many Russian prisoners and Cossacks surrendered to Chengcheng and were sent to Beijing. The Russians are called "Albazin".
"It turns out that the Alba and the Albazin are the names of the leaders of the Daur people of the Great Qing Dynasty!" Buicto suddenly realized.
"That's why this name comes from the Qing Dynasty, but it's also commonly used by the Rakshasas, so that's why I want you to change it to Alba!" Hongyi was satisfied with Buicto's ability to understand.
"Got it!"
"Do you know what important role you Alba people will play in my Great Qing Dynasty?" Hongyi continued to ask in depth.
"If you go back to your master, do you need to say it?" Buick is in the chest.
"Oh? Tell me about it? "Hongyi is interested.
"The minions have heard about that for a long time...... Belch! The despicable Urangeri had said that after he was captured, he had been in front of Shengjing's army in armor,[1] and that there were other escapees from the Rakshasas, such as the Kalmyks, and other aliens who had fled Siberia for various reasons. In addition to scouting the Rakshasa enemy, they mostly take surrender and recruitment as their business, and they always use the Rakshasa language to know the benefits and harms of those blinded Rakshasas before the battle, so that they can surrender to our great Bogda Emperor as soon as possible! ”
Although Buicto was still resentful of Wu Langri, he finally acted according to the truth.
"Yes, that's right. However, in my opinion, after you entered China, your role is far more than just the merits before the army! Hongyi nodded frequently, but he wanted to go deeper!
"The slave is willing to smear the master's liver and brain!" When Buickto heard that he had a great future and a very useful role, he immediately became excited.
"Okay, listen to me!" Hongyi sorted out his thoughts, and explained his long-planned "special role that the Alba people will play in the Qing Dynasty government" and -
One is a person who interprets the language. With the normalization of Qing military actions in the Suwu Lake area, China and Russia will experience a struggle in the future. In the end, it's about sitting down and communicating face-to-face. At that time, the exchange of goods will become more and more frequent, and there will be more and more Russian official missions and trade caravans coming to Beijing, such as Yuri and other Rakshasa descendants who were granted official positions by the Qing government, because they are proficient in the Manchu and Chinese languages, and the Qing Dynasty will certainly play to their strengths, generally let them do translation work when Russian envoys or Russian caravans come to China, assist the Imperial Court in translating documents between China and Russia, and interrogate newly captured Russians. In Hongyi's plan, they should even serve as Russian language teachers for various "official schools" in the future. Contribute to the training of Russian translators.
The second is a person of business and economic economy. Buicto: They can also act as brokers for Chinese and Russian businessmen to trade goods. In the case of the gradual increase in the number of Russian caravans coming to China, and the increase in the number and frequency of transactions between the two sides. The Alba people can take advantage of their knowledge of both Chinese and Russian languages and cultures, and play an active role as intermediaries. They could introduce Russian merchants to big Chinese merchants and provide them with a list of transactions. In their spare time, they can also guide Russians on a tour of Beijing's historical sites. Tell him about the news that happened in China. Attend a banquet with a merchant from Russia. Taste delicious food...... Of course, when they served the Russian caravan, they could take commissions from them, and the amount of commissions could even be as much as 3%-5% of the transaction value. More generous than the current tariffs!
The third is the person who is secretly watching. The Alba also played an important role in spying on the activities of the Russians in Beijing. When the Rakshasa envoys and caravans were operating in Beijing, these Chinese Russians could completely transform into "spies", monitor the Rakshasas' every move, and then report to the relevant yamen such as the Imperial Court.
Fourth, people who communicate with each other in culture and education. In particular, the introduction of "Orthodox Christianity" into China and its gain a foothold in the East must have been undesirable for Priest Sergei and others. However, there are some words that Hongyi has to have reservations about Buicto, after all, if the Orthodox Church enters China, if everything is according to the plan drawn up by Hongyi's heart, it is not impossible to influence the Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow at that time!
Fifth, people who improve firearms. This can be seen through the familiar flintlock pistol drills of Mulan and Yuri and others, and it is naturally easy for Buicto!
Seeing that Buicto was overjoyed and full of longing in front of him, Hongyi deliberately overflowed the last and most important one - the future Alba people are neither Russians nor Manchurians in essence, but are already Chinese through and through!
From a real historical point of view, both the Russians who first submitted to the Qing government and their descendants are no different from ordinary Chinese. Chinese culture is a melting pot where people of different races can get along with each other. The descendants of the Albazin in the 21st century have little kinship with their Russian ancestors, and after more than 300 years of mixed blood, it is impossible to distinguish their Russian ancestry. In terms of ethnic affiliation, the descendants of the Albazins are now either Manchu or Han.
What's more, judging from the composition of the Alba Niulu personnel under Buicto, many of them are not completely pure Russians, and many of them are Siberian aborigines who fled to China under the jurisdiction of Tsarist Russia. Historically, the aborigines of Siberia were naturally subjects of the Chinese "vassal state". In comparison, they are closer to the Chinese. It's just that in history, in the 21st century, those descendants of the Albazin people are very keen on the restoration of the Orthodox Church in China, which is a thorny problem that Hongyi has to think about and intervene in advance!

"A limerick poem. Hidden Head
Reading literature and reading history is only a long breath
I was saying that there was an opportunity back then
The layout is a long-cherished wish
It's hard to come and go
Get up and spend a hundred years
Point out the suffering and diseases of the world
The edge of the town was razed to the sea
Wen'an Wuding tears of joy
[1] The Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty "unified the army with the flag and the people with the flag", ploughing the fields and hunting in peacetime, and wearing armor in battle. According to their status, they are divided into three types: "Aha", "Armored Man", and "Bannerman". Aha is a slave, mostly Han Chinese and Koreans; The armor people are descendants, with different nationalities, and their status is higher than that of Ahha; Qiding is mostly Manchurian.
