Chapter 1917: Hiring Solon?

The more Malin thought, the more he felt that he had a head start, there was aerial reconnaissance, no more than ground reconnaissance. Falcons fly high, fly fast, and have a wide range of reconnaissance. Naturally, it is much more convenient than ground reconnaissance reconnaissance. If there is a falcon reconnaissance team in the army, it can detect the movement of the enemy at any time. Then, make the most favorable arrangement.

However, after communicating with Bai Geri and others, Marin was frustrated to find that it seemed to be reconnaissance with a falcon, a bit taken for granted.

Of course, this is not to say that the Falcon is useless, but that the conditions of use are limited. What kind of restrictions? That is, the Falcon can distinguish itself from others, but it cannot distinguish passers-by from enemies.

The reason why the five of them hung up in the North American jungle is because as long as there are people hidden in the jungle, they must be enemies, and there is no self or passerby. After all, the requirement of the hunting team is to clear the jungle.

Falcon's IQ is not high, but at least it's recognizable. In the dense jungle, it is very simple to find Native Indians.

However, once you reach a plain with a large population, the Falcon's reconnaissance is not easy. Why? Because the plains are full of people and the Falcon IQ is limited, it is impossible to tell which one is an ordinary person and which is the enemy, and often gives the wrong signal.

Therefore, although the Northeast region has cultivated falcons since the era of Sushen, it is rarely used for military purposes. The main thing is that hunters will be confused when they reach the densely populated area of ​​Central Plains. When they see all kinds of people, they can't tell which is the enemy. After all, falcons are just ordinary animals, not so high in IQ.

After listening, Marin was very disappointed, but thought it made sense. You know, the Manchu Eight Banners powerhouses like to play with eagles the most. However, I only heard that the Manchu nobles used Haidongqing to hunt, but never heard that they used Haidongqing as a scout. Obviously, it is because it is not suitable.

However, in the mountains and forests, Hai Dongqing can easily distinguish between his own and non-self. After all, Hai Dongqing also has a certain IQ, and with the uniform of the Beihai team, Hai Dongqing certainly recognizes it. Native Indians have no clothes to wear, and Hai Dongqing can see the difference at a glance.

According to several people such as Berger, Hai Dongqing found the Indians in the jungle and flew back to hover over them, passing circles and various flying attitudes, passing messages, reporting distance and number How many. However, only experienced falconers can understand these signals.

In the North American jungle, the hidden Indians must be the enemies to be targeted. Therefore, it is more appropriate to use Haidongqing reconnaissance in the North American jungle.

...

Malin was relieved. Although Hai Dongqing could not be used to detect enemy situations in the densely populated plains, but it can be used to consult the Native Americans in the North American jungle. I was a car dealer in those years

After all, the North American jungle is too large. If you use the old Black Forest hunter, because of the slow movement, and the need to guard against possible ambush enemies in the forest, the speed of clearing the forest is very slow.

But with Haidongqing it is different. Haidongqing flies very fast and has excellent eyes. Coupled with the dress of Indian Natives, it is easy to be discovered by Hai Dongqing and promptly warned.

According to Nubby, with the help of Hai Dongqing, the hunter troops could only detect and clean up an area of ​​tens of square kilometers every day, which suddenly increased to hundreds of square kilometers.

This is still because the squadron's action is too slow, which drags down Haidongqing's reconnaissance achievements. After all, the hunters are walking in the jungle and can clear up to several hundred square kilometers in a day. If they travel fast enough, they can clean up thousands of square kilometers a day.

Speaking of the speed of traveling in the jungle, Bai Geri from the Daur Department of Sorenbe has something to say:

"Marin sweats, walking in the jungle is too slow. If there is a horse that our Sauron people often ride, we can move in the jungle."

"The horse that the Sauron rides? Isn't that the Mongolian horse?" Marin froze.

Bai Geri shook his head and said:

"Sweat Khan, our Sauron horse, was originally obtained from the Horqin Mongolian tribe in the west. However, after our own multi-generation breeding, our Sauron horses have been very adapted to the life of the jungle and the grasslands. The Mongolian horses on the road are obviously different. "

"Our horses look no different from Mongolian grassland horses, but they are more adapted to life in mountain forests and are very cold-tolerant. They can walk vigorously in rugged mountain forests, can cross creeks sensitively, and can avoid them with caution Drive the branches across the road to avoid hurting the knight on horseback ... "

"That is to say, although your Sauron horses are from Mongolia. But after your domestication and cultivation, they have been very adapted to the forest environment?" Marin asked after thinking.

"Yes, our Sauron horses are more suitable for the jungle environment than the Mongolian horses. Our horses are much shorter than the horses of the North Sea country, but they are more suitable for traveling in the jungle. If the Sauron knight takes Haidong If Qing is active in the dense forest, it will be easier to conquer the dense large forests of the United States than the Black Forest under your command. "

"Yes, if I have hundreds of Sauron knights under my hands, it's no problem to search and clear the distance of hundreds of miles every day." Suha, the oldest of the four brothers from the Sauron Department, said by himself.

Suha, Barhu, Yadan and Muren are brothers and originally lived in the Greater Xing'an Mountains area of ​​Heilongjiang. The local people usually live on fishing and hunting, but they also need to exchange supplies. For example, the Sauron people needed iron swords, bows and arrows, iron pots, cotton clothes and tea.

However, since the Ming Dynasty withdrew the Nuergan City near the estuary in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River (called the Temple Street in the Qing Dynasty and Nikolayevsk in later generations) during the Ming Dynasty from the Xuande period decades ago, the Sauron in Heilongjiang basin activities And the Jurchens lost the place to exchange supplies.

Later, the Sauron could only obtain iron, cotton and tea supplies from the Ming Dynasty from the Mongols and Jurchens. But the problem is that the Ming Dynasty was not forced to open border trade by the force of Ida Khan and San Niangzi until the Jiajing period. Right now, the Mongols are unable to obtain supplies from the Ming Dynasty. Only the Jurchen ministries of the Shun Ming dynasty can take advantage of the tribute to exchange few Ming dynasty materials from Liaodong.

The Jurchen then resold the surplus supplies to the Sauron to the north at a price several times higher. Whether it was Bai Geri, or the four Suha brothers ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~, the reason why they became slaves of the Hexi Jurchen Yehebe was because they had tried to cross the Jurchen control area and go to Liaodong and People in the Ming Dynasty exchanged supplies.

At that time, there were many mountain minks where the Saurons were located, and mink fur was also very popular in the Ming Dynasty. A piece of sable skin can be sold for dozens of silver, and ordinary mink also has more than ten silver.

Basically, in the northeast at that time, the hardest currency was mink. In the Jurchen area, because of its early development and large population, the mink resources are not as good as those controlled by the Sauron in the north. However, they can happily exploit the Sauron by relying on being second traders.

In the Ming Dynasty, sable skins that could sell tens of two pieces of silver were sent by the Jurchens to the Sauron people for two or three pieces of silver. Then, they also sold them the materials of the Ming Dynasty at high prices.

The Saurons were not reconciled, so they sent someone secretly to take mink across the mountains and south, wanting to go to Liaodong. From the south of Xing'an Mountains, it happened to pass through the Haixi Jurchen control area. However, Jurchens of this era are also masters in the jungle. Therefore, all five of them failed to be captured and reduced to falconry slaves of the Yexibe of Hercynian. Then, it was bought by Marin ...

"Suha, you said, I sent someone to your hometown to hire the Sauron Warrior to serve me as a mercenary. Can I recruit people?" After Suha's words, Marin moved, and then asked casually ...
