C3434 old setae Legion (1/2)

Not only was his stomach full of sour water, Zai Chun suddenly felt that he had been wronged. Master had such a huge family business, in the future, he would have to inherit it himself!

Damn it, why do so many people want to share my family property? Master's inheritance is all mine, it's all mine!

When Zai Chun finished inspecting the 5 battleships and entered the dock, the scene in front of him shocked him!

Zai Chun was not the only one who was shocked, even the British people were stunned. Squads of soldiers were patrolling around the busy pier, and these groups of ten soldiers were protecting the order in Manila.

The Luzon had just fallen into the hands of the Chinese. Although the European side had reached a purchase agreement, the final payment of the money had not been completed and the Spaniard had not officially transferred over.

Right now, everything was in chaos due to the change of authority, so the entire Luzon Island was under military control. At this point, the army had replaced most of the responsibilities of the police and the local administrators.

This was supposed to be true, but what everyone saw today was incredible, because the two patrolling troops closest to the fleet were not Chinese.

The average height was 1.9m, with a strong build, a full beard, curly black or chestnut hair, and a high nose bridge … Isn't this the typical physical appearance of a person from the Cossack?

The Chinese may not be able to tell what Europeans look like, but in the eyes of the British, the appearance of people from all parts of Europe is still very different.

”Oh my god, could it be the Cossack who's on duty for the Chinese?”

Fang Dong nodded his head, ”That's right, just the Cossack cavalry … All of these are the captives left behind by Sha Russia in the hands of the leader. We will select a portion of them who are willing to become mercenaries and they will then form another important branch of the Foreign Legion! ”

”Cossack Mercenary Group, the name we give you is old setae Group!”

Zai Chun's eyes immediately became round, and flames of jealousy started to spew out!

The Manchu himself was very clear that when Emperor Kang Xi was beating up Yarta City, he had captured a large group of Cossack cavalry, and more than a hundred of them had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

At the behest of the Emperor Kang Xi, these people were the seventeenth collar of the eight banners, known as the ”Russian collar.” Because the city of Yaxa was called Albazin by the Russians, these captives from Yaxa called themselves ”Albazin”.

It could be possible that Kang Xi was trying to show off in front of all the other races to show his kindness, so he gave these hundred over people a great deal of preferential treatment.

They were given houses in Tung Chung Mun Lane to live in, after they had been given yellow banners.

However, these furry people loved to drink too much, and would cause trouble whenever they drank too much. This caused Kang Xi to lose face, and in the end, an official came up with an idea.

The court released a group of women from the prison and assigned the bachelors to be wives, so that they could get married and start a family.

Gradually, these Cossack mercenaries merged into the life of the Beijing. Up to now, there were still more than a thousand of them on the yellow banner on the list.

As for these people, they were already no different from the normal Beijing's standard-bearers. The only difference was that they still believed in the Orthodox Church!

Only Master Kang Xi could drive the Barbarian Cossack away, but he had actually become a mercenary in Xiao Letian's hands, and from the looks of it, it wasn't forced upon him at all.

Fang Dong seemed to have guessed what the emperor was thinking, ”To these people of the Cossack, fighting is actually the happiest thing to happen, but working is the most painful thing to do!”

”This nation is completely different from the Chinese people. We Chinese people are naturally kind-hearted and fond of construction. Every day, we plant land, build houses, produce beautiful porcelain and silk … This kind of life is called enjoying it! ”

”But the people of Cossack actually scoffed at this kind of life, because this kind of repetitive work is too complicated, they do not have that kind of patience, furthermore, they do not like construction, and prefer destruction!”

”After the War of the Far East, these captives were all thrown into the POW camp, doing all kinds of laborious and complicated work … There will always be people who can't take it anymore, and there will always be riots and riots! ”
