Chapter 1624： Lure

Who is Cossack? Many of them were Ross serfs escaping from the farm. Because he was not willing to be an oppressed serf, he escaped from the manor, mounted a war horse, and ran to the vast prairie of Eastern Europe.

At that time, because the development of the prairie in Eastern Europe was very low, the Cossacks had a lot of living space. Therefore, many Ruthenians (including Ukrainians and Belarusians) and Russians, even some Polish, Lithuanians, and Tatars, have become Cossacks.

In fact, the earliest subjects of the Cossack tribe were the Tatars. Because, among the Cossacks, only the Tatars were the earliest nomads.

The nomadic people have a habit, that is, they like to accept Zhuangding to strengthen the strength of the tribe. In order to increase the population, the nomads, while robbing the women of the farming nation, also robbed the children of the farming nation, and trained those boys into tribal warriors to increase the tribal force. In the same way, foreign sporadic surrender to their strong men, they are also willing to accept.

Therefore, the Cossack tribe, strictly speaking, was first established on the basis of the Tatars. After the 15th century, the Cossacks became Slavified because of the rapid expansion of the Cossacks of other peoples, and the Tatars became a small part.

Most of these Cossacks are nomads at the moment, and they are not willing to work very hard in agriculture. Moreover, they had escaped from the manor. If you want to force them to plant land, it is estimated that they will be forced against them.

But, how marinous is Malindo? You do n’t want to grow the land, do you? It's okay, I won't force you. However, I will trade the grain for spirits to lure you to grow land ...

As long as you plant 20 acres of rye and the wheat you produce, you can change to hard liquor that you ca n’t drink for a year. Are you a Cossack?

In addition, Marin will also order to gradually shrink the trade of sheep for spirits, forcing the Cossacks to farm to exchange spirits.

Of course, if you exchange cows or excellent horses, you will naturally not refuse ...

In this way, through the favorite spirits of the Cossacks, Marin gradually transformed them from herders into farmers who adapted to farming.

...

In fact, in the later generations, during the tsarist period, the Cossacks were transformed from pure herders by the tsarist government into a semi-farming and semi-pastoral group. In "The Quiet Don" by Sholokhov, it describes the grudges and grudges of the Cossack village.

However, that was forced to change by the environment. At the beginning, the Tsar ordered the Cossack tribe to go to distant Siberia and the Far East to reclaim. When they arrived, no one produced food for them. In desperation, in addition to nomadic and hunting, they also began to try to cultivate themselves. By the beginning of the 20th century, the nomadic Cossacks had become accustomed to semi-farming and semi-pastoral life.

However, this change is very long. After all, it takes a long, long time to change your mind.

Marin was simple and rude, seizing the weakness of the Cossacks' preference for drinking spirits, and enticing them to grow land to collect grains for spirits. When they are used to farming, and then find ways to adapt to eating bread, the Cossacks will be able to adapt to the semi-farming and semi-pastoral life.

Then, Marin might not be able to use this group of Cossacks to help himself cultivate the Americas ...

You know, in this era, there are two or three million Ruthenians. Nearly half of them live in the prairie region of Ukraine, that is, one to hundreds of thousands.

If these people are used, Marin can directly add two or three hundred thousand cavalry!

In fact, Marin is not so greedy. Not to mention two or three hundred thousand Cossack cavalry, two or three thousand, enough for him. After all, the Indians did not even have metal weapons and did not need too many soldiers and horses. The only threat is probably that the North American Indians are very powerful in the jungle ...

How to say, according to the news from South America, the hundreds of Cossack cavalry sent to South America had already frightened the Native Americans on the Pampas prairie. If it were not for them, it was estimated that the Indians on the Pampas prairie had disappeared by this time. Moreover, although this group of Cossacks is small, the Indians on the grassland cannot be cleared. However, no one dared to approach the colony of the La Platte Estuary. This is the deterrent force of cavalry on open terrain ...

...

However, Marin will not rashly send Cossacks directly to the Americas. Because, without transformation, the Eastern European Cossacks are wild and difficult to control. If they are rushed to the American grasslands, it is estimated that the tigers will be returned to the mountains.

Therefore, Marin sent the Cossacks in the Americas, which were mixed with a lot of German Cossacks, and took German Cossacks as the commander. Only in this way can we rest assured that those Cossacks are in America. Otherwise, if it were all Eastern European Cossacks, without education, maybe this group of guys would build an emirate by themselves ...

In fact, while enticing those Ukrainian Cossacks to farm near Kiev, Marin also sent a large number of missionaries to encourage those Cossacks to convert to Catholicism, teach them to speak German, and teach them to be loyal to the Hoffman family ...

Of course, it is good for them to convert to Catholicism, such as the distribution of spirits during the holidays. Go to a Catholic church for worship and get a lottery draw. The reward is similar to the "return to a bottle" drink of later generations. Of course, it is not "another bottle", but the reward of "a bottle of whiskey". This kind of reward is in line with the preferences of the Cossacks, and the cost is not high, which is very conducive to fooling those Cossacks.

Similarly, when the missionaries teach them German, whoever learns fast can also reward a small bottle of Erguotou ...

In his last life, Marin had seen literacy classes in rural areas when he was a child. If an administrative order is used to force those illiterate farmers to accept literacy literacy ~ www.novelhall.com ~ the effect is actually not good. Many people are forced to go to literacy classes after all kinds of paddling. Sleeping in the classroom is just a basic operation. Women often pretend to listen to the class while wearing sweaters or receiving soles ... even, some teachers are talking about it, and some farmers are taking off their shoes and picking their feet.

However, get a reward, it will be different immediately. Rural people love to take advantage of small things. If they have prizes in literacy, even if they are only worthless gadgets, the enthusiasm will be different immediately. Especially those old country ladies who love greed, small and cheap, see that there is a bargain, it is called a positive, see the reward, faster than the old masters recognize words ...

...

What's more, the Cossacks were already addicted to spirits, and even women like to drink. Luring them with spirits to learn German, and reforming Catholicism, is absolutely easy. As for children, sweets are easy! Anyway, Cuba has started mass production of sucrose now, so no worries that there is no candy available to lure children to learn ...

After Kiev has fully codified the gang of Cossacks, and then partly import them and send them to the Americas, it will work. Of course, the mainland of the North Sea can also be recruited. For example, those Cossacks can be sent to the Jutland peninsula for half farming and half herding. Marin built many Cossack villages over there. Today, many Cossacks have been transferred to the prairie of Lüneburg, and many Cossack villages there have just emptied, just enough to accept Cossacks.

The Kiev region and the Jutland peninsula took action together to recruit Cossacks and lure them with spirits to Germanize and convert to Catholicism. They could domesticate them as soon as possible to become qualified thugs in the North Sea, and serve as a pioneer for Marin to conquer the Americas, just like the original In history, they helped Tsarist Russia conquer Siberia and the Far East ...
