Generally speaking, the number of people from various ethnic groups who were attracted by the gold and silver to vote was not too large. Wei Ji counted that, except for the more than 300 Hezhe people who came to vote, the total population of other ethnic groups was only more than 600.
, while more than half of them are old and weak women and children, there are only more than 200 men between the ages of 16 and 40. [] Moreover, these more than 600 people come from six or seven tribes, including other branches of the Mongols, and some.
The Daur and Sauron people, and some others couldn't even tell which nation and tribe they belonged to. As soon as they entered the castle, they begged for food like starving ghosts. When I asked them what to say, they shook their heads and didn't know.
The strong men they came with also said they didn't know which tribe they were from.
It's all chaos, I've become a fucking refugee gathering team. Looking at the people from all walks of life who are even more miserable than his own men, seeing that they either come with nothing or bring some rags, Zhao Qiang has the urge to cry.
Disappointed, he still asked Wei Ji to arrange for the old and weak women and children, and temporarily arrange some work for them, such as sewing, cleaning, herding cattle and sheep outside the fort, or reclaiming the surrounding wasteland.
Planting, fishing in the river, etc. In short, if conditions permit, Zhao Qiang will let each of them turn around and contribute their own strength to this patchwork group.
I can't raise people in vain, this is Zhao Qiang's principle.
Although there is still a lot of food in Shouyi City, and there are also a lot of cattle and sheep stolen by the Russians, if we don't open up the source, one day it will be empty. Therefore, Zhao Qiang placed a heavy burden on Wei Ji, asking him to organize and organize the food before winter came.
The people of all ethnic groups who came to vote, as well as the Wu Jun family members in the fort, stored food to survive the winter and enough animal skins to keep out the cold for Shouyi City. In addition, they also had to organize them to collect medicinal materials and ginseng. These things can be used in the future.
Take it to exchange for weapons.
Crops can be grown in the spring and summer in the Far East. Beans and wheat can be grown. Zhao Qiang is not worried about the seed problem. The people of all ethnic groups who came to donate more or less brought some with them. The fort was originally captured by the Russians.
The women of various ethnic groups who came over had planted crops for the Russians before, so they had a lot of seeds. There were also many wild animals in the Far East. According to several Daur soldiers, they once captured more than 2,000 yellow sheep with just a few dozen people. They were so meat-eating.
The resources are sufficient, but meat alone is not enough. The gastrointestinal method can digest it, so beans and wheat must be supplemented. In addition, salt, tea bricks and other items are needed. Unfortunately, the sources of these things are limited now. Except for the original remains of the Russians,
For some of them, there is basically no way out. Regarding this problem, the solution Zhao Qiang can give at present is to grab it with one word.
More than two hundred young and strong men who came to join the Hezhe tribe were organized. More than one hundred men from the Jiaju tribe who came to join the Hezhe tribe were temporarily organized into a training camp. Guo Fei was responsible for training them, and Zhao Qiang selected from the wounded.
Twenty sergeants with minor injuries served as their flag officers.
Similarly, Zhao Qiang asked these people to cut off their braids on the back of their heads. The new men in the training camp did not show any rejection to this request, because they did not belong to the Qing Dynasty, or they had despaired of the Qing army.
Or maybe they have no concept of the imperial court at all. Most of them just want to seek protection from Zhao Qiang, avoid being poisoned by the Rakshasa people, and be able to save their wives, children, and children. As for other things, they have not considered it at all. Those who don’t even know which ethnic group they are.
Men who don't know have more trouble because they don't have braids on the back of their heads.
The strong man who brought these Hezhe people here is also a Hezhen, named Halda, but he is from the Urqi Hezhe, and the Hezhe people who came to surrender are from the Udgai tribe. According to Halda, these Uzhe people
The Hezhe people of the Degai tribe originally lived in the Wusuli River. Later, due to the arrival of the Rakshasa people, they were forced to move south. After several moves, they settled down in the current settlement. But what they didn't expect was that,
The Rakshasa people came even faster. Just over a month ago, the tribe was plundered by the Rakshasa people, and dozens of women and more than thirty young men were kidnapped. When he found the Udgai people, in the future
As soon as he said this, everyone from the tribe, from the old man to the children, packed up their things and wanted to go with him to the city of Shouyi that dared to fight the Rakshasa people. This made Halda very happy, because the population of more than 300 people meant that he would
Receive a huge reward.
As far as Zhao Qiang knows, Hezhe is one of the fifty-six ethnic groups in the Later Kingdom, but the population is quite small. The Oroqen people are already small enough, but they are probably less than half of the Oroqen people. It is estimated that the current population should be around 5,000 and
The Hezhe people seemed to be the only people in this area who made a living by fishing. But he didn't understand how the Hezhe people were divided into Udegai and Ulqi.
After asking Halda, Zhao Qiang understood the situation. It turned out that the Hezhe people were organized into one group of the Eight Banners called Feyaka, while the other groups scattered in various places were called Nanaiulqi Oluokewud.
Gai and other tribes. These tribes are different from Feyaka, which has been completely transformed into the Eight Banners. Most of them are still in primitive social living conditions. The total number of several tribes should be less than 3,000.
Three thousand people? It's a little less, but there are so many small ethnic groups and tribes in the Far East. This tribe will come and grab some, and the number of troops that can be pieced together will be very impressive.
Zhao Qiang also heard something from Halda's words that greatly interested him, that is, the means of transportation for these Udgehe philosophers in winter was sleds and dog sleds.
Maybe these Udgehe philosophers could set up a special transportation camp in the future, Zhao Qiang thought about it in his mind, and specially called Wei Ji, asking him to quickly let the Udgehe philosophers go fishing in the rivers around Shouyi City.
Whenever he had free time in the past few days, Zhao Qiang found strong men of various ethnic groups who spoke Chinese and asked them about their own tribe. He was particularly interested in understanding the situation of the Daur people, because Zhao Qiang discovered that the Daur people were stationed in the Eight Banners where the Qing army was stationed.
Like the Saurons, they are the largest source of troops, so it is necessary to focus on understanding the Daur people. If they can be divided, divide them; if they can be captured, they can be captured. If not, they must be eliminated by every means to avoid unnecessary trouble.
He became a lackey of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The Daur soldiers of Zhao Qiang's army did not know much, but the captured Daur soldiers of the original red flag knew a little. According to their explanations, Zhao Qiang generally understood the situation of the Daur people.
The time when the Daur people were incorporated into the Eight Banners garrison by the Manchu Qing Dynasty was probably after the first year of Shunzhi. At that time, after the Qing troops entered the customs, they took great care of the invading Rakshasa people, so they moved the Daur people, Ewenki, Oroqen and other ethnic groups from the north of the Yangtze River one after another, and organized them separately.
There are three banners: Xianghuang Banner, Zhenghong Banner and Zhengbai Banner. In order to facilitate the rule of the Daur people, the Manchu Qing Dynasty appointed some high-level figures from the Daur people as assistant leaders, and a few of them were promoted to generals, governors, ministers, etc. As for others who have not moved inland
The Daur people ignored them and allowed them to fend for themselves.
The Daur soldiers I asked did not know how many Daur people had not moved inland, but they estimated that the number was quite large.
Zhao Qiang did not ask further about the situation of the Sauron people. He thought that the situation of the Sauron people should be similar to that of the Daur people.
In order to facilitate language exchange, Zhao Qiang gathered those strong men from all ethnic groups who spoke Chinese, a total of 21 people, and appointed a Daur as a small flag, making them responsible for teaching simple Chinese. In addition, Zhao Qiang also asked Wei Ji to organize various groups.
Children of the ethnic minority learn Chinese characters and Chinese language in two big houses in the west of the fort, using them as the seeds for future Chineseization.
If the language they speak is Chinese and the words they use are Chinese characters, they cannot be considered aliens.
Wu Erling went to bribe the Oroqen people who had entered the banner. He would not be able to come back for a while. The Mongolian men Bagan and He Manchuan had no hope. The journey was too long. After sorting out the big and small affairs in the fort, Zhao Qiang couldn't wait to know.
How is the kidnapping operation of Hu Wang and Wu Si going? They are where Zhao Qiang's greatest hope lies.
…………
Isn't this kind of plot very boring? Haha, the writing of Bones is also very boring, but I'm about to end this part of the description. Forced conquest is the way to go! And forced conquest means killing, conquest, and speed.
Strong. Please add favorites and red tickets, thank you.
