Of the 283 members of the Alba team, from officers to soldiers, almost all of them are willing to marry and have children and settle down in China!

Bekotov held two lists, but only stared at one of them and studied it carefully. The two lists are identical, one was written in Russian by Yuri for internal use. The other was written by Yuri, but in Manchu.

"Captain Buick" deliberately discarded the list of Russians used internally, and only read the full text. He knew in his heart that he was now a "middle-level officer" and "royal soldier" of the Qing Kingdom, and his future was bright, but the road would definitely be bumpy. As a "quasi-Chinese", starting with the "official script" Manchu and mastering the skills of using Manchu as soon as possible will be one of the foundations for one's own life. About this, he especially admired his companion Yuri!

Yuri is worthy of being a top student of the Mogila Academy in Kyiv, and he is familiar with Manchu literature by learning it! It's been a few months since he was captured by the Chinese soldiers, and now his Manchu is the best of all the Alba team! As his direct prefect, Bekotov had a real sense of urgency!

Bekotov's 283 soldiers were originally more than 300 when they were captured, but on the way south from Humar Castle to Beijing, some of them were seriously wounded and died halfway. The current Alba team, in terms of personnel composition, is said to be "Rakshasas", like all Rakshasa expeditions and castle garrisons in Siberia and the Far East, but most of them are "Lithuanians" composed of Cossacks and prisoners of war from European countries.

In addition to the "Zo Leader" Bekotov and Sergei and Yuri, who have been named "Xiao Riding School", there are also twenty-one purebred Rus. For example, Anton and Nikolai, who were directly under their control, were all Cossacks, and they were mainly archers. The rest of the "Lithuanians" were led by Ivan, who was running faster than a rabbit at the Xi'an Gate that day, the so-called "Ukrainian nobles", and he had a total of one hundred and four men, all infantry, composed of archers and spearmen.

Such a complex composition of personnel is natural in Bekotov's eyes, because it is a common practice in the vast and sparsely populated Rakshasa Kingdom. Exactly in the eyes of the Chinese. They also did not have the time and energy to analyze in detail the nationality and ethnic composition of the Rakshasa troops. Naturally, it is also a passing by. The only exception is his current absolute prefect - the Alba naturalized clan pipe band, little Belle Ye Xuanye!

When he came back from the Imperial Servant Bureau the day before yesterday, the eunuch Liang Gong sent someone to pass on the "supreme instructions" of the young master - to use the opportunity of the Empress Dowager's marriage to convey the basic information of all the personnel of the Alba team. Including age, ethnicity, family background, place of origin, strengths, hobbies and future plans are counted. The question of whether or not each person was married in his or her place of origin should also be recorded. Fortunately, the master made it clear. This article does not affect the re-marrying of a daughter-in-law in China!

Bekotov was originally a confused account of these, but now as soon as he counts it, he knows it! All the projects come together in a variety of ways. Fortunately, there are two things that he is very happy about.

First, the vast majority of those who intend to stay in the army to "serve the country" are more than 240 people! Less than forty people said that they had a craft before they became soldiers, or handicrafts, or brewing, or mathematics, literature, etc., and they were willing to serve the Qing Emperor and His Royal Highness Lord Belle in this regard in the future. Bekotov doesn't see any advantages over being a soldier in China, but after all, there is only one way out at the moment! In this way, your team can still maintain stability, which is the foundation of your own life - the barrel of a gun!

Second, the vast majority of people are willing to inherit the grace of the Empress Dowager and marry and have children in China, regardless of whether they have been married and have children in their home country. Of the two hundred and eighty-three, including Bekotov himself, two hundred and eighty-one were willing to remarry, except for two - the priest Sergei, and a fellow whom he did not know. When this person explained the reason why he was no longer married, he was hesitant, and it was estimated that there was a problem with his "gender orientation" or that his "basic functions" were not sound, and it would not affect the overall situation anyway. The key is this Sergei, who has become one of the five "Xiao Riding Schools" under his command!

Sergei had already expressed this in front of little Belle at the Imperial Servants' Bureau that day, so it was not surprising that Bekotov was a faithful Orthodox Christian, a priest, and he also intended to "dedicate his life" to his missionary work. But the point is that, like the Tsar in Moscow, the "First Rank Duke", Bekotov had a sober understanding that it would not be good if the power of an army was shared between the "military prefect" who represented the command and the "priest" who represented the religious power!

What is happening in Moscow is clear to all the military personnel of the Rakshasas, and it is impossible for Bekotov not to pay attention to it. Especially after understanding the basic composition of the Chinese army, he is very much looking forward to it! In the army of the Emperor Bogda, there have always been no priests, priests and other clergy, and his soldiers have almost no unified religious beliefs, so that the secular people are completely subordinate to the emperor's command, and they must also accept the orders of the military governors at all levels who command the army as the emperor's representatives!

This is a guarantee of combat effectiveness!

But the benevolent Emperor and Little Belle showed great tolerance, allowing these Orthodox and Catholic Christians in their Alba team to continue to believe in their own God and God, which seemed to be a ball of harmony, but it restrained the little power of Bekotov! In the past few months, although his "Buick" assistant leader has a high status in the hearts of soldiers, Sergei's position as a priest is not low! Often, soldiers in trouble would take the initiative to confess to Sergei.

It seems normal, but in China it is not necessary. Bekotov held the Manchu roster in his hand and fell into deep thought—

As a small squad leader, how aggrieved was he under Stepanov back then? It was not easy to win the trust of Lord Shangshu Kadahun and Master Ming Andali of the Ministry of War, and decisively "started from the bottom to the bottom", and won the trust of the Chinese by betraying Stepanov and confessing the various crimes of the Rakshasa expedition, and also preserved the heads of more than 200 people under his command, thus establishing his absolute position in the hearts of his soldiers in one fell swoop.

What's more, as a native of the Rakshasa country, his special status is very important to His Majesty the Emperor, especially the young master-everything in the far west seems to be an attraction to them, and there is no one else in the current Jingshi who can provide them with detailed first-hand information on this. The glorious Roman Catholic [Catholic] missionary John Tang is an exception, and he is also in a high position, but after all, he has been in China for a long time, and he doesn't seem to be very clear about everything in the Rakshasa Kingdom, and he still doesn't pose a threat to his "intelligence status".

But what about the future? What happens when your status as a provider of fresh information is gone? Then there is only one way left - your Alba team must be the backbone of defending the emperor and the master!

But who his subordinates are, Bekotov knows very well! A bunch of forgetful guys! Needless to say, the Cossacks are mothers if they have milk. The Polish, Germanic, and Swede in the Lithuanian team were all prisoners of war, and they were full of resistance to going to China from the root. Fortunately, the master is wise, let them settle down in rich China, and these people will no longer have to go back to their hometowns to be low-level soldiers, let alone die in the Far East as prisoners of war! Now they are all the "superior people" of the Qing Empire, because they have all entered the yellow flag and become flag people! The so-called food and clothing are worry-free, and high-ranking officials are generous!

I must take this opportunity to make them grateful to His Majesty the Emperor, especially Little Belle Ye, and serve as a savior! On this basis, establish the absolute loyalty of the entire Alba team to the emperor and the master, at least no worse than any other Eight Banners team! That is, to be absolutely loyal!

Absolute loyalty? Are you still loyal to the God you believe in? Or the Orthodox Patriarchs in Moscow and the Vatican in Rome, the Roman Catholic Pope, and the Father and God they represent?

There is only one answer to Bekotov - no!

Once Moscow knew the whereabouts of its group, Patriarch Nikon issued an edict to return these followers to their homeland, what would be the result? Take 10,000 steps back and say that ordinary soldiers can go back, it's a big deal to give up glory and wealth to continue to be the patriarch and the loyal and good citizens of the Moscow government, but if they go back, there is only one way to die! You can get to the throne by selling Stepanov, and others can also rise to the throne by selling yourself in Moscow!

Therefore, the Moscow Orthodox Holy See must not be allowed to affect his own life and bright future!

But in this way, Sergei, as a pious priest, became a big problem! How is that good......

"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 happy teardrops (to be continued......)
