Zhao Qiang didn't have high hopes for how many Oroqen people Wu'er Leng could recruit to vote. He estimated that it would be good if he could recruit a thousand people. After all, most Oroqen people were still within the effective monitoring range of the Qing army, and those who were incorporated into the Eight Banners
The Oroqen people were even less likely to come to vote. So he was not going to put all his eggs in one basket. The Far East was so big, there were more than just Oroqen tribes that could be sued. Therefore, after Ureng left, Zhao Qiang
Chen Wei called over and explained to him. Soon, according to Zhao Qiang's request, Chen Wei selected five or six strong men of different nationalities from each camp and brought them to Zhao Qiang.
Similarly, Zhao Qiang offered inducements to these young men of various races, but the price was half lower than what he offered to Wu'er Leng, but it was still a considerable amount of wealth. The young men heard that as long as he could attract people to invest,
After receiving the rewards of gold, silver, food, and women, everyone's eyes were bright, eager to get ready, and their hearts were full of enthusiasm.
In order to prevent these people from doing things without taking the money, Zhao Qiang only gave them some dry food for the road and some small pieces of silver, and asked them to set off immediately. The promised rewards could only be given to those who saw them. For this condition
, the strong men also acquiesced, delivery first and then collecting money, it is only natural.
The strong men used to be the slaves of various tribes. When did they ever have the opportunity to get rich? Now, all of a sudden, they have such a golden road in front of them, and there is no danger. All they have to do is use their words. This is a shortcut to making a fortune.
Naturally, they are flocking to it. All they can think about now is the rewards after pulling people in, so they are all in high spirits and forget about the danger of encountering Rakshasa people on the road. There are even some from the same clan.
They were also wary of each other, thinking about where the Rakshasa tribesmen could live, as if the other party had arrived there one step ahead.
Originally, Zhao Qiang wanted to send people to sneak into Shangyang Fort and Ninggu Pagoda area to encourage some criminals and old Wu army troops who were not under control to surrender. However, he thought that if the incident was leaked, the Qing court would be alert. If troops were sent to suppress it, then what would happen?
The gains outweighed the losses, so I didn't dare to think about it.
What surprised Zhao Qiang was that after the strong men left in various directions, there was a Khalkha Mongolian standing there without moving, only staring at Zhao Qiang.
"What? You don't want to?"
Looking at this somewhat honest Mongolian man, Zhao Qiang was a little curious. The man looked as if he was dismissive of the promised reward.
People who don't love money must have some agenda, Zhao Qiang thought, so he didn't look down on the Mongolian because he was just a strong man. Chen Wei on the side told Zhao Qiang in a low voice that the Mongolian's name was Bogen and he could speak Chinese.
Oh, I can speak Chinese, which is great.
Zhao Qiang sat down calmly: "Since you understand what I'm saying, just tell me straight away. Are you unwilling to recruit subordinates for me or do you have another purpose for staying here?"
Ba Gen stared at Zhao Qiang for a few seconds, and suddenly took a big step forward. Chen Wei on the side saw this and was about to stop him. When he was about to speak, he saw him stop, and with a red face, he boldly said to Zhao Qiang: "
Mr. Qianhu, my name is Bagan, I am a Khalkha Mongolian. My tribe and I were captured by the Rakshasa people when we visited Ming'anke. They executed my tribe, so I want to avenge them.
!Therefore I don’t want your gold, nor your women or food, as long as I can kill the Rakshasa people, I can bring you many brave Mongolians!”
"You don't want gold or women, so what do you want?"
Bagan's words aroused Zhao Qiang's interest, especially his last sentence, "I can bring you many brave Mongolians."
Bagan calmed down his somewhat excited mood, calmed himself down, turned his head and glanced at Chen Wei, who was watching eagerly, and said in a deep voice: "Master Qianhu, I know you are not an army of the Qing Dynasty, because there are no Han armies outside the pass."
Having said this, Bagan stopped and bowed his head slightly to reflect Zhao Qiang's reaction.
Zhao Qiang raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of a smile: "Say, keep talking, I am here to listen."
Seeing that Zhao Qiang asked him to continue speaking, Ba Gen pondered for a moment and continued: "Ba Gen doesn't care whether Mr. Qianhu is from the court or not. Ba Gen just wants to kill Rakshasa to avenge his father and mother. I want to ask Mr. Qianhu, if I
I can bring you five hundred warriors on horseback, can I be their leader, that is..."
For a moment, Bagan couldn't remember what kind of official that was, so he patted his head after a while: "Hundred households!"
"Five hundred people?!"
Zhao Qiang didn't believe his ears. This Bagan didn't look like a Mongolian noble. How could he bring over five hundred Mongolians? Could it be that this guy was a real person and couldn't hide his identity from the Russians?
He glanced at Bagan with some confusion: "Are you sure you can pull it over?"
Seeing that Zhao Qiang didn't believe him very much, Ba Gen said anxiously: "This is my business. I just want to ask you, sir, if I can become a hundred households and join you in killing the Rakshasa people after they come here?"
"Can!"
As long as Bagan can really bring over 500 Mongolian households, let alone 100 households, it won't be difficult to give him a thousand Mongolian households.
Zhao Qiang knew that the Khalkha Mongols were probably located in what is now Outer Mongolia, bordering the Russians in the north. This was a Mongolian tribe close to the Manchus. Bagan said that he would attract 500 Khalkha Mongols to surrender to him, which really made him a little bit confused.
I can’t believe it. But I believe he has nothing to lose. At most, he is just happy for nothing. The nearest force of the Khalkha Mongols is hundreds of miles away. It is a bit impossible to let them cross the Russians to attack us.
"Bagan, if you want to follow Ben Qianhu to kill Rakshasa people and avenge your dead relatives, then Ben Qianhu can tell you clearly that if you can get 500 Mongolians to surrender, these 500 Mongolians will
People are your subordinates, and you are a hundred households; if there are a thousand people, you are a thousand households!"
Zhao Qiang almost said that if there were ten thousand people, you would be ten thousand households. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and stopped in time. If ten thousand Mongolians really came, he would have to work for Bagan.
"Bagan believes in you because your people dare to kill Rakshasa people!"
After receiving Zhao Qiang's confirmation, Bagan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and bowed heavily towards Zhao Qiang, before turning back and setting off.
"Wait a moment!"
When Bogen was about to step out, Zhao Qiang stopped him and whispered a few words to Chen Wei. Soon Chen Wei took several gold ingots and sent them to Bogen: "Master Qianhu gave you some for the road."
.”
Bagan hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take the gold ingots, held them in his arms, and bowed to Zhao Qiang again: "Thank you, Lord Qianhu!"
Zhao Qiang walked slowly to Bogen, waved to He Manchuan, who was guarding the door, and said to Bogen: "I will send a guard to go with you, so that you will be taken care of on the way. Don't worry, even if you can't get anyone,
These gold ingots also belong to you, all I need from you is your sincerity."
Bogen called He Manchuan and then Zhao Qiang, and said in a serious voice: "Don't worry, Qianhu, Bogen is a descendant of Genghis Khan. We Mongolians will do what they say. Bogen will definitely be able to recruit 500 warriors for Qianhu who dare to fight."
!”
"Well, I believe you."
Zhao Qiang told He Manchuan a few words, telling him to be careful on the road and to retreat immediately if there was any danger. He Manchuan agreed one by one, and Zhao Qiang transferred two more horses to them. Finally, under the watch of Zhao Qiang, He Manchuan and Bagan
Drive quickly northwest.
"Qianhu, what if this Bagan is a liar?"
Chen Wei was a little suspicious of Bagan. He always thought that this Mongolian who worked as a coolie for the Rakshasa people was bragging. If he had such ability, why did he end up working as a slave for the Rakshasa people?
After hearing this, Zhao Qiang smiled slightly: "I don't know what to do. If Bagan is really lying, then just treat those few gold ingots as floating in the water. But if there is something to gain, it will be a great deal. Everything in this world is absolutely
, maybe this Bagan is really a treasure to us. By the way, you immediately notify the battalion officers to line up, I have something important to announce."
"Important things?"
Chen Wei was startled: "Master Qianhu, what do you want to announce? Are you sending troops to fight against the Rakshasa people?"
Zhao Qiang shook his head and pointed at the back of Chen Wei's head: "Don't you think it's time to cut the braid on the back of our head?"
