After Gui Gudal heard the translation, he understood what Zuo Yingxuan meant and was immediately overjoyed.
With such a big backer as the Ming Dynasty, why are we afraid of what those devils will do? The clan can be saved!
However, he hesitated, and answered Zuo Yingxuan a little uneasily: "Sir, but our tribe is very poor. I don't know what we have to pay to you every year, and how much we have to pay? Or...why don't you tell me something?" Count, I will go back and see if I can get it together!"
As one of the leaders of the Sauron people, he still knew that he had to pay protection money.
But who would have thought that Zuo Yingxuan listened and shook his head with a smile and said: "The imperial court knows your situation, so in the next few years, it will not collect taxes from you. It will even help you live a good life."
When he said this, he recalled in his mind the original words of the Xingguo bus representative: For the Sauron people, we are not after their wealth, but their people.
At that time, Zuo Yingxuan was surprised and a little confused. What was the purpose of those who wanted to plot against them?
So Duke Xingguo answered him: "Tsarist Russia has been expanding and colonizing eastward in the north. For these Russians, it is actually very easy for us in the Ming Dynasty to deal with it. However, for most of us in the Ming Dynasty, the climate in the north is as low as the Arctic Ocean. It is the most difficult to overcome and adapt to. And if it is the Sauron people, they can overcome the climate to the greatest extent. Therefore, we will fight for their people!"
Likewise, Zuo Yingxuan had known for a long time that there would be Tsarist Russia in the north, which the Saurons called "devils", and had already asked Liu Wenxiu to select the Mongols and other ethnic groups in the Ming army, mainly the military. The soldiers who can best adapt to the northern climate formed a separate army, with about two thousand people, and they have been training to destroy the colonists of Tsarist Russia's eastward expansion.
However, after the existing colonialists of Tsarist Russia's eastward expansion are eliminated, in order to declare sovereignty, Ming people must live there. Only when there are common people is it suitable to have a garrison. In this case, there will be a need for Sauron.
Duke Xingguo had arranged things well before. Just wait for the people of Sauron to come to you willingly and recognize Daming as your savior, so that it will be easier to implement the follow-up plan.
At this time, Gui Gudal was dumbfounded when he heard Zuo Yingxuan's words: How could such a good thing happen in this world? Did he hear it wrong?
Zuo Yingxuan could tell what he was thinking from his expression, and without explaining, he immediately ordered his men to take the Sauron down first, spend more time in Shenyang, and introduce him to the situation in the past few years since the liberation of Liaodong. There are also crop seeds such as potatoes prepared for the Sauron people.
Only when the Sauron people become rich in food can they provide food for the northern army. Otherwise, if the Ming Dynasty's army wants to be permanently stationed in the north, the food problem alone will be a big problem.
Later, Zuo Yingxuan wrote a memorial on this matter and requested the establishment of a shipyard in Heilongjiang for the transportation of materials, exploration of the northern ocean, fishing, etc.
These things were not what he thought of, of course they were planned and entrusted to him by Zhang Mingwei in advance.
Otherwise, Zuo Yingxuan might not even know there is a Heilongjiang River there!
………………
Gui Gudal visited Shenyang City for a few days, and he was really shocked. At the same time, he also learned that the governor of the Ming Dynasty did not treat them specially, because the people here were exempted from paying taxes in the past few years. This was the policy of the imperial court.
However, as one of the leaders of the Sauron people, he certainly had his own thoughts and did not forget about it.
A few days later, concerned about the safety of his tribe, he went to see Zuo Yingxuan and raised his doubts.
Zuo Yingxuan was a little surprised by this, but he still nodded and let him say it.
"Sir, this villain thinks that we Sauron people are different from ordinary Ming people after all." Gui Gudal said sincerely, "But why does the villain readily agree to it when the villain comes to ask for help, and why does it still happen? Help us Sauron people. Without getting the real answer, the villain feels uneasy!"
Hearing this, Zuo Yingxuan was slightly startled, and couldn't help but remind himself that he really couldn't underestimate anyone!
Thinking like this, he smiled slightly and said: "I have told you before that Liaodong and further north areas all belong to the original Nuergandu jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. And you are naturally the people of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the former At that time, the imperial court did not pay much attention to you. Perhaps you did not have this awareness. Among them, there were even Jianlu who had no laws and rebelled against the king, so they were destroyed by the imperial court. Therefore, the imperial court believed that the governance method of Nuergandusi was not It was appropriate, so it was changed to Liaodong Province."
Having said this, he paused and let the translator translate first, and then he continued: "From now on, all areas under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty must understand that they are the people of the Ming Dynasty. Similarly, the court will not ignore the people of the Ming Dynasty when you encounter famine. , the imperial court will provide disaster relief; if your life is difficult, the imperial court will find a way for you; if you encounter foreign enemies, the imperial court will send troops to protect you. In this way, everyone performs his or her duties."
The words he said actually contained a warning.
Those who disobeyed Wang Hua, Jianlu, must have been strong enough, and they were not destroyed by the imperial court. You Sauron people consider for yourselves whether you have the qualifications to disobey Wang Hua.
At the same time, he also offered temptations, the benefits of being under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, such as famines, foreign enemies, etc., the imperial court could help them solve them.
Guigudar was one of the leaders of the Sauron people, so he naturally understood the whole meaning.
Zuo Yingxuan looked at his face and finally said in summary: "So, you came to ask for help, and I immediately agreed to send troops, because this is what I meant. You are living a hard life, and I asked people to select high-yielding crops for you. The same goes for taking it back. So, do you understand everything?"
After listening to all the words, Gui Gudar finally understood what was going on. He had no objection to this, because the Sauron people were desperate and had no choice at all.
And from what he experienced in Shenyang these past few days, he also realized that if the Sauron people truly joined the imperial court, their lives would definitely be better than before.
Therefore, he knelt down and knelt on the ground with his hands sincerely: surrendering to the Ming Dynasty.
To regain a tribe, the best option is to conquer it by force, but the best option is to win over it.
Zuo Yingxuan was very happy when he saw it, so he stepped forward to help him up personally.
After Gui Gudal stood up, he quickly said to Zuo Yingxuan: "Sir, those devils are very powerful. Each of them has a firearm. They can start a fight without even lighting a fire..."
Previously, he did not describe the specific situation of Tsarist Russian colonists at all. But now that he has completely returned to his heart, he decided to give Zuo Yingxuan a reminder to avoid being unprepared and causing heavy casualties.
In the original history, Tsarist Russia invaded, and in the end the Saurons also sought help from the Manchus.
Two years later, more than a thousand Manchus and more than 500 Saurons fought against the Tsarist Russian colonists. The Manchus suffered nearly 700 casualties and lost 830 horses, 17 muskets, and 2 artillery pieces. and some food, and even the military flag was lost. However, only 10 of the Tsarist Russian colonists were killed and 78 wounded.
This battle also made Khabarov, the leader of Tsarist Russia's colonization of the Heilongjiang Basin, instantly famous and became a hero of Tsarist Russia.
Zuo Yingxuan saw it and immediately started laughing. Sensing Gui Gudal's sincerity, he immediately sent Liu Wenxiu in without any explanation.
Gui Gudal looked at him and felt that Zuo Yingxuan was a little contemptuous, so he became a little anxious.
However, Zuo Yingxuan had already turned around and turned his back to him. For a moment, it was not convenient for him to speak. He could only be anxious, wondering if he was too understated and failed to describe the power of those devils. !
While he was thinking about it, he saw a Ming army general stepping in with great dignity.
"Liu Wenxiu, the last general, has met Lord Zhongcheng!" Liu Wenxiu ignored the others and just clasped his fists with his hands, saluting Zuo Yingxuan on the main seat.
"No gift!" Zuo Yingxuan replied, then pointed at the Sauron leader with a smile and said: "His name is Gui Gudal. He is one of the Sauron leaders. I feel that the Tsarist Russian invaders are very powerful. Take him to your place. Let him take a look to avoid any problems with cooperation in the future."
After hearing this, Liu Wenxiu turned his head and glanced at Gui Gudal, and then immediately turned back, cupped his fists to Zuo Yingxuan and saluted: "General, I will obey!"
Then, he looked at Gui Gudal again, with confidence on his face, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Please come with me!"
His words were naturally translated. After hearing this, Gui Gudal looked at Zuo Yingxuan with a little doubt, and then followed Liu Wenxiu.
The military camp was outside the city, and Gui Gudal followed Liu Wenxiu out of the city on horseback. Along the way, he was very envious of the equipment of Liu Wenxiu and his personal guards. Not only were they all equipped with firearms, they were all in the same military uniforms.
Uniform military uniforms make people feel different. This reminded him that those devils' clothes were all different.
"If the Ming army is like this, then it should be no problem to fight those devils!" Gui Gudal thought along the way.
When they arrived at the military camp, as soon as they entered the camp gate, Liu Wenxiu ordered: "Send the order to assemble!"
As for himself, he took Gui Gudal directly to the general ordering platform in the school field.
Before the group of people could stand on the general platform, the soldiers of the Ming army who had gathered from the barracks and other places had already assembled.
More than two thousand people, uniformed in military uniforms, half of the cavalry and half of the car camp, stood there neatly.
"How is it?" When Liu Wenxiu saw it, he turned to look at the Sauron leader behind him and asked calmly.
These soldiers were all selected from the Ming army. Not only had they experienced the war to regain Liaodong, but they had also been training. Needless to say, they were elite!
