Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 461 Blonde Braid
Alexei Jin and other Cossacks were tied up and brought before Feyangu like a group of slaves.The leader of the Western Qing Dynasty, Fei Yanggu, who was already looking more and more vicissitudes, looked down on this group of Cossacks, causing them a lot of pressure.

"If you obey, let them be slaves, if you don't obey, you will be cut off directly." Fei Yang said succinctly.

Alexei Jin couldn't understand Fei Yanggu's words, but he could clearly sense his bad intentions.

"Khan, Khan, please spare us, I am willing to be your servant and fight for you! We Cossacks are the people who are most familiar with this area, we can help you destroy the Romanov family Moscow ascends to the position of Tsar!"

He spoke incoherently, and the translator next to him hurriedly told Fei Yanggu.Fei Yanggu was also someone who had come into contact with the Cossacks. He knew that these light cavalry were bandits who committed all kinds of crimes, but they also had their own abilities, they could survive in extremely harsh environments, and they came and went like the wind.

Cheng Lin also said aside: "Marshal, these Cossacks can't be said to be loyal to the old Maozi. Whoever is strong and who can provide them with protection, they will be their eagle dogs. Why don't they be included in the guards as subordinates?" use."

When the Western Qing Dynasty came to the Volga River, Fei Yanggu had basically reconstructed the military and civil structure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The Eight Banners were used as administrative units. them.At this time, the Eight Banners were no longer purely a form of organization demarcated by ethnic groups, but similar to a caste system with upper and lower ranks.Banner flags are the original Manchurians plus some flag-raising Han army flags and Mongolian flags. Now they are all counted as one place, and there is no longer much distinction.Under the banner are the slaves, who are actually enslaved people of all ethnic groups.

In terms of military affairs, in addition to the new army system firmly controlled by Fei Yanggu, the Eight Banners themselves have also produced their own military structure.The Eight Banners soldiers are now divided into the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade and the Eight Banners of the Guards. The Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade are troops composed entirely of bannermen. They are considered the most elite force of each banner, but the scale is often small.The ban brigade of each banner is only about the size of a battalion, three to five hundred people.After all, there are very few flags at this time.And what Fei Yanggu really started to cultivate was the so-called Eight Banners of the Guards. The Eight Banners of the Guards were somewhat similar to the original Green Camp. The difference was that the Eight Banners of the Guards were assigned to each banner and were managed and assigned by the capital.The soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Guards are composed of non-banner packers, and these packers are often more obedient packers, usually Mongolians, Kazakhs, other Turkic peoples, Tajiks and so on.

The Eight Banners of the Guards are now becoming the main military force of each banner. Fei Yanggu evenly organized the guards of each banner into a division. Most of the weapons used were slightly inferior weapons and Some weapons looted along the way.However, in terms of organization, it has also been modernized after the new army, adopting a seven-level organization of sheds, battalions, and divisions.

The officers of the Eight Banners of the Guards are mostly the officers of the Banners and the New Army. The main difficulty now is that there are so many soldiers of different nationalities, and it is very difficult to communicate with each other. Therefore, Fei Yanggu forced the Eight Banners of the Guards to use Chinese.

This point also shows Fei Yanggu's ambition. He has a negative attitude towards the backward culture of the Jianzhou Jurchen. He dare not claim to be Chinese orthodox, but he also emphasizes the connection between Manchu origin and China.At the same time, among the millions of people in the Western Qing Dynasty, he promoted Chinese instead of Manchu.Because only by accepting the Chinese language can we directly use various advanced cultures and technologies of the Ming Dynasty.

Even Fei Yanggu did not hesitate to use the surnames of Manchurians. The typical method is to separate the surnames. For example, Fei Yanggu is Dong E, and the Dong E surnames of other branches are Dong. In order to highlight his status, Fei Yanggu , my family has the surname Fei, but fundamentally they all belong to the Dong E family.

Others, such as Guarjia, Tongjia, Yehenala, etc., were also changed to Han surnames.Because Fei Yanggu had purged the Eight Banners earlier and achieved complete dictatorship, even if he changed his surname now, no one jumped out to oppose him.

Of course, although the last name has been changed, Money Rat Tail has not.If Fei Yanggu wants to retain this characteristic, the people of the Qing Dynasty must have this money rat tail.

Some of the Cossacks took off their bearskin hats at this time, showing off the hair on top of their heads.Cossack hair style is a bit different from Manchu money rat tail, but it is actually very similar. Jiannu has braids on the back of his head, while Cossack hair is sometimes combed directly in front of his face, or on the side of his temples. .

"We are willing to dedicate our loyalty to the honorable Khan! We are connected, have the same bravery and way of life!" Aleksey Kim started talking nonsense completely.

However, after Fei Yanggu saw the hair of these Cossacks, he nodded instead and said: "Braid these hairy braids. It is Zhenghongqi who will destroy them. Let them be included in the Zhenghongqi Guards. Let them give us braids." Daqing leads the way."

The Cossacks couldn't help being overjoyed when they knew they were going to survive.Some even started braiding their own hair.

Feiyangu said to Alexei Jin: "I want you to recruit other Cossacks to use for me. Also, I am not a Khan, I am the Great Commander of the Qing Dynasty."

"Yes, handsome! I will definitely let all the Cossacks come under your command and be your sharpest knives."

After a lot of tossing, Alexei Kim and his Cossacks were all dragged into the tail of money rats. Although their weapons were still the same matchlock guns and sabers as before, they now belonged to Xiqing's army .

Cheng Lin looked at the Cossacks with golden braids, and said to Fei Yang: "Marshal, there are Maozi's villages around, and this land is still counted as the place controlled by Su Shuhuan. Since we can't occupy it, we can't occupy it." It doesn’t make sense to leave it to the Ming people, it’s better to destroy them all, capture their people, shave their heads, and weave them into the Eight Banners as a coating.”

After Fei Yanggu heard this, he smiled heartily and said: "Very good, let all the banners do this. You have to prepare new soldiers for me. The Tsar may soon face our army head-on. Army defeated, we will march to Moscow, where we will officially start our dynasty."

Shocked, Cheng Lin asked, "Commander, why don't you proclaim yourself emperor in Moscow? Continue our foundation in the Qing Dynasty and turn the tide. Commander has made great achievements. Your enthronement as a great treasure is even more expected by everyone."

Fei Yanggu smiled slightly, but said nothing.He has already been thinking about proclaiming himself emperor for a long time, and it is still within the scope stipulated by Da Ming. He dare not challenge Bai Mingxiu's authority, but now he can't wait any longer.
