Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 371

The sound of horses, shouts in various languages, and the firing of muskets intertwined into the most interesting music in the steppe and forest. The Russian team was defeated and the Cossacks who were injured but not dead fell to the ground. The Riats, Mongols, or the defected Oros were also happily cutting the heads of the seriously injured Cossacks. The Cossacks cried and begged for mercy, but no one stopped the knife in their hands.

A guy who is also a Cossack but has changed his costume, when he cut off the head of his former companion, he didn't say much sincerely: "Sorry, buddy, everyone is their own master, and five of your heads It can be exchanged for a silver coin, there is nothing more cost-effective than this."

The silver coin he mentioned is a large silver coin for trade issued by the Ming Dynasty, also known as Tuanlong silver coin, with a silver content of 50 grams, which is equivalent to 100 Wen coins, because it is larger than the silver coins used in European countries today, much thicker, and even thicker. Exquisite, this kind of Tuanlong silver coin has been widely used as a trading tool in East Asia.It's just that this kind of silver coin is not used in the Ming Dynasty. The daily-use coins issued by the Ming Dynasty are 1 Wen, 5 Wen, and 10 Wen. They are basically made of copper-nickel and other materials, and do not contain silver.Moreover, there are banknotes ranging from 1 to 100 coins. Most people under the Ming Dynasty were very accustomed to using banknotes.

Under the current financial system of the Ming Dynasty, the right to mint coins and even the right to store money has actually been nationalized.Even if ordinary people save silver at home, they cannot be directly used in transactions. All transactions in the Ming Dynasty must use legal tender, that is, Mingliang and Mingwen.

This group has only formed an organization in a few days, full of optimism.Although the gang they joined was not large in number, the organization and discipline was very good, and it was fair to everyone. As long as they were approved to join the gang, they would be able to share the spoils, and their heads and battle achievements could be exchanged for the gang from their leader. Dragon Silver Coin.It's something that's especially welcome for them.There is even an accountant in the gang who keeps money for everyone, although they can also choose to keep their own belongings.

When the gang rushed back to Ludominyansk, Bai Mingxiu was a little shocked.Duanmuwen, Ning San, and Bagen went out, and when they came back, they had become a gang of more than 90 people. Most of them were Buryats, some Mongols, and wild Jurchens. To Bai Mingxiu's surprise, , There are also two Han Chinese, plus some Russians who betrayed very simply.

The things that unite this gang are very simple, that is, the money paid by Duanmuwen and the relatively fair and reliable organizational method. Duanmuwen called this horse thief-like gang the "Beihai Bandit Suppression Ranger". There were some professional bandits and horse thieves, but Duanmuwen called them the bandit-suppressing squad.

In just a few weeks, Duan Muwen took his ranger and defeated many Russian troops, even if these Russian troops were not really Russian troops.Duanmuwen even managed to force several nearby Buryat tribes to submit to him, and sent men to his North Sea Bandit Suppression Team.

Bai Mingxiu got up this morning and was about to go hunting as usual to provide some things for his small castle. He didn't expect to see Duanmuwen and a few people making something in the walled city.They were fixing something like an iron bucket to some kind of car. Bai Mingxiu squatted there watching for a long time, then patted his head and said, "Isn't this a heartless cannon?"

Duan Muwen also smiled and said: "I prefer to call it Feilei. During this period of time, we have beaten the nearby Tsarist Russians a little frightened. They have already sent people to Yakutsk and other places to ask for reinforcements, and they have sent The gates of several strongholds are closed, and they are not going out to prevent being attacked by us. This is not acceptable, because we lack reliable heavy firepower and are unable to attack these castles. Even if we can attack, we will pay relatively large casualties , so I thought about making some heavier weapons to save an emergency."

Speaking of it, the simple weapon used by the revolutionary army, the "heartless cannon", was really suitable for Duanmuwen's Rangers.Even though Duan Muwen is backed by Bai Mingxiu, the things Bai Mingxiu can provide are still relatively limited. Bai Mingxiu is a very cautious character, so he has not actually been in the "Red Dead Redemption Store" so far. Exchange what too many things.Duanmuwen is like those ordinary colonial pioneers who came to the wilderness, using his own hands and wisdom to create a way of victory.

In addition to unconscionable guns, Duanmuwen even made a lot of things like Molotov cocktails. Considering that the castles in Tsarist Russia are basically made of wood, it can still have some effect.

This time, Bai Mingxiu took Duanmuwen's ranger to the battle in person, attacking a winter camp dozens of kilometers away from his stronghold.This winter camp does not have a two-meter-high wall like Bai Mingxiu's castle, but a fence around the outside, with some permanent wooden facilities inside, such as houses, sheds, etc.The Russians also kept sheep and other livestock here for their daily use.There are not very many defenders here, and they are more used to control a stronghold of the nearby Buryats.

Duanmuwen's Rangers moved very quickly. Their purpose was not to occupy this winter camp, because there were not many defensive conditions here. After they came here, they immediately started to set fires. The Russian army here also relied on their strength. The bunkers and simple fortifications had some firefights with the Rangers, but they were quickly beaten to the ground. After all, Duanmuwen had a large number of people, and some of them were equipped with more advanced muskets.

Soon, the winter camp was breached by Duanmuwen, and the property was searched here. They set a fire and burned the winter camp.

As far as Bai Mingxiu is concerned, he really doesn't need to leave so many strongholds on the shore of Lake Baikal. He is not strong enough to defend many places, so it is more realistic to defend his current castle and destroy the others.When the garrison corps arrives in the future, their soldiers will re-establish various facilities that are more in line with their use and functionality.

When Duanmuwen established the Einsatzgruppen and beat the Russians into a headache, the Russians finally made a decision. The Russian army in the Heilongjiang River Basin was led by Zinoviev, the tsarist plenipotentiary stationed in Nerchinsk. The armed forces, together with those around Lake Baikal, concentrated on the North Sea Rangers that troubled them.
