The Rise of the European Emperor

No wonder Marin was surprised, because the Sauron Warrior is so famous in the history of China! Sauron is actually the old name of the Ewenki people. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it also included the Daur and Oroqen people in the northeast Heilongjiang area.

In ancient times, the Ewenki people who grew up in the bitter cold land of the white mountains and black waters in the northeast, that is, the Saurons, were very brave and good at fighting. They were originally hunters in the deep mountains and old forests in the northeast, and their archery skills were very good. Later, they also contacted the Horqin Mongols in the west and introduced Mongolian horses. Then, the Saurons, who were good at archery and learned to ride horses, became the strongest cavalry archers of that era. Moreover, they are not weak in melee combat, and are very brave.

However, it was precisely because of his bravery and invincibility that he was later favored by the rising Man Qing. Then, the cunning Huang Taiji sent troops northward from the Jilin area to the Heilongjiang River Basin, and conquered the Saurons there through three conquests.

Someone may ask, didn't you say that the warrior Sauron is invincible? Why was it conquered by the Manchus? Are the Eight Banners soldiers of the Manchu Qing better?

This is not the case, but the Saurons themselves are scattered, not a unified and powerful force. Although the Sauron warriors are very powerful individually, each tribe usually has a maximum of several hundred Sauron warriors. Therefore, the Manchus were given every opportunity to defeat them.

This is mainly because the northern part of the Northeast was too bitter and cold, and the living environment was too harsh. In addition, the Saurons did not farm, but only hunted, which made it impossible for a large population to gather.

Because the prey resources in an area are limited, if too many people are crowded in an area, then there will not be enough prey to hunt, and everyone will be hungry.

Therefore, the Saurons are generally in the form of small tribes, scattered in the deep mountains and old forests near the Daxing'an Mountains in the northeast, and it is difficult to form a group to fight against the Manchus.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was originally Jianzhou Jurchen, the ethnic group with the highest degree of Sinicization in the Northeast. Nurhachi even worked under Li Chengliang for a long time, so he naturally knew Chinese and was familiar with "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Because of the high degree of Sinicization, Jianzhou Jurchen learned to farm a long time ago. Moreover, the Jurchen tribe traditionally knows how to raise pigs, so the source of food is naturally much richer than the Saurons who only know how to hunt. Naturally, more people can be gathered in the tribe, and even cities can be established.

With the same people and the same level of command, the brave Saurons would definitely be able to unleash the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. However, the problem lies in the fact that there are many Manchus and few Saurons. Therefore, it is not surprising that it was conquered by the Manchu Qing.

After the Manchu Qing conquered Sauron's ministries, they used Sauron's warriors as cannon fodder very insidiously. Just like how they captured the wild Jurchens in the mountains, let the Saurons charge forward to the death, and then the real Manchus followed behind to pick up the bargain and grab the head...

How important was Sauron's soldiers to the Qing Dynasty? From before entering the customs,

The Qing Dynasty began to trend the savage Jurchen and Sauron soldiers to rush to the front as cannon fodder to attract the firepower of the Ming army. Of course, Sauron's soldiers are more valued because of their powerful combat power.

In the early Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Eight Banners were still able to fight. However, in the Kangxi period, the Manchu Eight Banners quickly became degenerated due to their long-term rich clothing and food, and their combat effectiveness declined sharply. By the time Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Banners had become a show. In the end, it was still relying on the 400,000 green battalion soldiers who surrendered from the Ming Dynasty to pacify San Francisco.

Later, Kangxi also seemed to be aware of the depravity of the Manchu Eight Banners after entering the customs. But he can't help it, because after they enter the customs, they become masters, and they don't have to do production. They have to be served by food and clothing. What fighting power do you expect those Eight Banners children to have? By the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was not surprising that the Eight Banners became synonymous with waste.

Therefore, Kangxi pinned his hopes on the Saurons who still lived in the northeast. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of Sauron's soldiers, Kangxi did not allow the Saurons to farm land, let them continue to hunt and survive in the white mountains and black waters, and maintain a barbaric life style to maintain a strong combat effectiveness.

Then, once there was a war, the Qing court frantically conscripted "Sauron Warriors" to serve as cannon fodder...

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there were tens of thousands of Sauron people in the Northeast alone in the Sauron tribe (that is, the Ewenki tribe), and there were 50,000 Daur people known as the Sauron tribe, and there were fewer Oroqen people, but there were also some million people. Add up, there were hundreds of thousands of Saurons at that time.

But since the Kangxi period, because they realized that the Manchu Eight Banners were no longer usable, they began to conscript Sauron soldiers frantically to fight. The craziest thing is Kangxi's grandson Qianlong, who suffered from severe "Sauron Warrior Dependence" and carried out a super crazy conquest of the Sauron tribe in the northeast.

Qianlong called himself "Shiquan Old Man", which means he won ten battles. However, the toughest battles were all fought by the Saurons.

For example, in the battle to pacify Western Xinjiang, it was Sauron who was the vanguard and helped him defeat the Junggar tribe and the big and small Hezhuo. Later, the Horgos of the Manchu Qing in Ili was also stationed in the Sauron camp to suppress local resistance.

Moreover, the Xibe tribe at that time was also a vassal of the Sauron camp, and went to guard the western border in the name of the Sauron camp. The Xibo tribe in Xijiang, where the famous actress Tong Liya of later generations lived, moved westward with the Sauron camp during the battle in Xijiang.

In addition, Qianlong also relied on Sauron's soldiers to repel Burma and defeat the Nepalese Gurkha soldiers. It can be said that without the warriors of Sauron, the "Shiquan martial arts" of Chief Qianlong would be several fewer.

However, Qianlong's crazy expropriation of the Saurons also caused a crazy decline in the population of the Saurons. After all, many Sauron warriors were sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder by the Qing Dynasty and were beaten to death.

Among other things, a data can explain the problem. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there were tens of thousands of Ewenki people in the Solon headquarters, 50,000 Daur people, and 10,000 to 20,000 Oroqen people.

However, three hundred years later, look at the three Sauron tribes—there are only 30,000 Ewenki people, 130,000 Daur people, and Oroqen is the worst, with only more than 8,000 people left...

You know, this is three hundred years! Children give birth to grandchildren, and grandchildren give birth to sons. According to normal circumstances, there should be at least a million talents in the three clans. However, due to the heavy dependence of the Qing Dynasty and the endless conscripts, a large number of Saurons died on the battlefield, and the population did not increase but decreased...

...

In fact, none of the above is important, the most important thing is - the Sauron warrior is really suitable for fighting in the jungle!

In my family, my ancestors have lived in the deep mountains and old forests in the northeast for generations. Because of hunting, I have practiced very powerful archery. Moreover, because there are many bears and Siberian tigers in the northeast jungle, the Saurons have fought many times with jackals, tigers and leopards in order to survive, and their combat effectiveness is naturally not low. In other words, the fighting power is very strong. Even the Eight Banners at the end of the Ming Dynasty, who were much better than the Ming army, admitted that the fighting power of the Saurons was "the best in the world", which shows how fierce the Saurons are.

Moreover, after learning to ride horses, their riding and shooting skills are even better than the Manchus who boast about riding and shooting all day long. Just like the five Ewenki slaves who domesticated Haidongqing that Marin bought from the Yehebu of Haixi Jurchen, they are very good at riding and shooting. Moreover, it is especially adapted to the jungle environment.

This time, Nubi, the leader of Marin's phalanx, took a group of German Black Forest hunters to the North American jungle to clean up the local aboriginal Indians. Because these five Sauron falcon masters were idle and bored, they took the initiative to fight and took their domesticated falcons with them. Haidongqing, and the Mongolian Madongbei jungle dwarf, followed to North America. Then, he shined in the battle against the Qing Dynasty...

It's not that these five people are all highly skilled in martial arts, and they can outnumber a hundred with one, but that their role is too great!

In jungle warfare, the most feared thing is that the enemy hides in the jungle and escapes, making it difficult to track. Even if Marin got a lot of Black Forest hunters and used hounds to track the Indians. However, because the tracking speed with hounds is not fast, how can anyone run fast at the speed of hounds smelling on the ground? Moreover, hounds that are too aggressive are easily shot by Indians with bows and arrows.

However, the five Sauron falconers who went to the exhibition this time let Nubi see what Niubi is...

The Black Forest hunters on your side use hounds to slowly track the enemy on the ground, and the Sauron falconers directly use Haidongqing for aerial reconnaissance...

No matter how fast the native Indians run, how fast can Costin fly? Moreover, these days, Indians don’t know how to wear camouflage uniforms to lurk, but like to wear colorful clothes and paint their bodies with bright colors. Costin should not be too easy to track them!

The five Sauron falconers, Baigeri, Suha, Barhu, Yadan, and Muren, used Haidongqing's aerial reconnaissance to easily find the native Indian tribes hidden in the jungle. Then, Nubi led an army composed of thousands of Black Forest hunters, and easily encircled and suppressed the hidden Indian tribes.

Therefore, the most powerful of these five people is not their combat effectiveness, but their ability to use Costin to scout the Indian natives in the jungle. Of course, their own combat effectiveness is also very strong, and it is no problem to fight a few Indians. Especially, after they wear armor. The Indians' bows and arrows cannot penetrate their armor, but they can easily kill their opponents...

Nubi asserted that if the five falconers could follow them all the way to wipe out the aborigines, it would be very easy to wipe out all the aborigines in a large area. Because, Haidongqing's aerial reconnaissance is too incomprehensible...

No matter how fast you run, no one can fly as fast as a falcon. In addition, the eagle's eyesight is very good, and the Indians do not know how to camouflage, which can greatly facilitate the army of the North Sea State to suppress and conquer the Indians hiding in the North American jungle.

Nubi believes that if the Haidongqing scouts are used together with the Black Forest hunters, the threat of the Indians in the jungle can be easily resolved. Then, to develop North America, there is no need to cut down trees slowly and step by step. As long as Costin is used to conduct large-scale reconnaissance, and then wipe out all the aborigines in the nearby jungle, the immigrants can comfortably develop this rich and fertile forest...

"Employ Haidongqing trainers as scouts for the hunting troops? This is a very good idea!" Marin's eyes lit up...
