Chapter 475 The Great Fort Cangzhou Lukai
Chapter 475: Big Fort, Lu Kai, Cangzhou
Along the way, three villages built by the Cossacks were slaughtered without leaving any chickens and dogs. This incident is also a satirical matter. Originally, this was a nail laid by the Cossacks, and it would be connected into pieces after decades. After hundreds of years, it has become a land passed down by Russian ancestors. Many people will forget that the earliest people living here were yellow people.
However, history has changed a little now. There may be a small cannon in the Cossacks' village, but there is nothing to do with the military standard artillery brought by the Expeditionary Pioneer.
After the village was blown away, the crazy Khanate suicide squad would rush in and kill. After the first battle, Liu Shisan fulfilled his promise. All the surviving dead soldiers were reunited with their families, enjoyed a short time of freedom, and could serve as leaders to manage the rest.
In the second and third battles, the scene where young and strong Khanate enthusiastically participated could no longer be described as enthusiastic, and the selection was also very simple.
In fact, in every battle, all the Expedition Pioneer had to do was to blow the door open. Next, the unfazed Khanate dead soldiers would rush into the village. The reloading speed of the mezzanine was too slow. When the first shot was fired and the second shot was not fired, the opponent had already rushed to the front.
The Cossacks did not understand until they died. How could these people who had no fighting courage in their daily lives have such a fighting will? How could they be called wild beasts by these Cossacks like wild beasts? This is also a kind of honor. The expedition pioneers who were watching the battle leisurely beside them always joked with each other when they encountered such a situation. If the soldiers of the Thunder Khanate had already had such courage.
Not to mention that these Cossacks cannot stand at a disadvantage, even the expedition pioneers on that night would not have any benefits. Can people burst out with such strength and courage when they are always forced into desperate situations?
All the soldiers who survived such a death action were confined to each other in groups of ten people. After a brief reunion, their families were surrounded alone. Their treatment was the highest among the thousands of prisoners in the Khanate. Someone had already criticized these dead soldiers, saying that they were local dogs raised by demons, not only went out to bite people, but also were not polite to their compatriots.
But these dead men who have already received good treatment will lose the benefits they have finally obtained. Now everyone's necks are under the swords and axes of these Han people. I don't know how many days they can live, so why do they have to say the righteousness? When they surrendered, everyone knelt on the ground.
The cracks have gradually appeared. As Liu Shisan and the pioneers of the expedition, they are naturally optimistic. They are originally the ones who control more with less, but it is more convenient to manage so many people. This method has also been used in the original history.
In that era, there was a helplessness without strength, so I had to give it a nice name "using barbarians to control barbarians". But in this current situation, it is a steward under the absolute advantage of force. In comparison, it is naturally in heaven and earth.
Going forward, it is Dimitri Fort. Dimitri is the Grand Duke of Moscow. In the not-to-date history of the country of Russia, one thing is always written by big books: In 1380, Dimitri, the Grand Duke of Moscow, defeated the Golden Horde army led by Mamai Khan in the Kurikovo field near the Don River, and his reputation was greatly enhanced.
This is also a proof of the rule of this land, which started from the Mongols to the hands of the Russians, so the name of this fortress is Dimitri Fort, used to express the ambition of defeating all the Mongols on this land.
Dimitri Fort is the center of the Russian Roganov family and the offensive against the Bilkhanate. In addition to the Cossacks used as the vanguard, there are also 700 Russian soldiers. For the Russian Empire, which is also widely and sparsely populated, Count Roganov's regular army had only 1,500 people, and half of them were placed here.
In addition to more than 800 Cossack warriors and more than a dozen surrounding villages, this place has become a cancer in the Siber Khanate, and a gradually spreading cancer until the country is eroded.
The expedition pioneers and prisoners led by Liu Shisan, with nearly 10,000 people, can be regarded as huge, but these people are not conspicuous on the same vast plain. Moreover, the villages they pass by are all killed, and cavalry swims around at any time. Even if someone you meet by chance, they will be killed mercilessly. Liu Shisan can judge that Fort Dimitri did not receive any news.
Being caught off guard is also a prerequisite for victory.
The Ming Dynasty, thousands of miles away, and Cangzhou between Northern Zhili and Shandong, there are many people who practice martial arts. If young people in the past were not good at studying and could not get fame and honor their ancestors, they would learn a martial art, either join the army, escort agencies, guard the house, or become a bandit, which could be considered a background, but in recent years, the trend has also changed.
Nowadays, the trend is that everything is inferior, but only the profit is high, the status of merchants is no longer higher than before, and this business is indeed much more money than farming. Many landlords who used to have land in the countryside either took out their savings for many years, sold part of their own land, came to the city, opened a shop, or opened a handicraft workshop, and made some things, hoping to make a fortune.
However, the atmosphere in Northern Zhili, which is close to the capital, is still a little conservative. The reaction to business and commerce is still half a step slower than other provinces. Although it is only half a step slower, it is also very fatal. Whether it is the suburbs of the capital, the Tianjin sanctuary, or the prefectures in Shandong, they already have a set of sales and acquisition channels, as well as rich experience and accumulated funds.
Although the sea is vast and everyone can make a bucket of gold, the Ming Dynasty is boundless, and the land is full of Milky Way, if you are a latecomer and want to make money, it is very difficult to crowd out some places.
After these people in Cangzhou joined the industry and commerce, they found that the money they earned was not as much as the rumors. Fortunately, Cangzhou is also the only way from the north to Zhili to Shandong, and it is very close to the canal. With the convenience of the geographical advantage, there is still some small money to make. The goods they produce are collected by merchants from south to north, and they are sold to maritime merchants as a big profit. At most, they only make some hard-earned money.
Lu Kai is one of the landlords and merchants in Cangzhou. He is in his forties. Although he is smart, he is only smart. Logically speaking, he is already at home and a rich man at home and enjoys a comfortable life.
However, some special things sold half of the land in my family and opened a factory in the capital. They were all doing some spinning and weaving businesses. Such businessmen who were responsible for their business and later in small business operations should naturally not want to make huge profits or make money.
The homemade cloth they made was sold to Shandong merchants at a very cheap price. After calculation, it was better to make money from renting. People who are familiar with Lu Kai and his wife knew that the couple were not obsessed with money, but they were just worried about their only son.
Lu Kai and his wife had a son in middle age, so they naturally loved him very much, but this son was too loyal and honest. Now, the fifteen-year-old, other families can stand alone and support their family business, but this child is not. He is too kind and kind. When he went to collect rent several times, he even returned the land rent to the tenant.
The couple was really amused and crying. They ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name, did good deeds and accumulated virtues, and educated their children. The honest Lu Kai couple had no choice but to be able to educate their children to be evil people.
Honest people have the idea of honest people. The couple just think that they can make more money now and leave more family business for their sons. After the couple leaves, their children can live better. People in this era are already considered a long life at the age of fifty, so they have such a sense of urgency.
By relying on renting, there is naturally no opportunity to make money. During this period, Lu Kai heard and saw someone making money outside, which was the reason why he did business and opened a factory. He gritted his teeth and decided to go and make some money while he was still able to move around and make some money.
But it is easy for others to do this kind of thing, but difficult for oneself to do it. Although it is busy getting up early and going to bed late, it just keeps making some money. If you include renting a land, you will actually lose money.
This situation made Lu Kai very worried. He was in his forties and his hair, which had been well maintained, was completely gray, and his wife was also tired and bent.
Every morning when Lu Kai always sighs involuntarily, and then worry about the next purchase of raw materials and production. His wife was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Lu Kai sat on a chair. Before he could sigh, he was interrupted by a guy running from outside.
"Master, a Taoist You Fang came outside and said he wanted to see the master!"
Lu Kai devoted himself to the gods and Buddhas, so Taoist monks and monks like to visit and beg for alms to make money. Lu Kai was not in the mood at this time, but just scolded and said:
"Just give me some copper coins and meals, and I'm not at ease early in the morning."
"Master, that Taoist said he was giving money to the master and spreading blessings for the God of Wealth!"
