People in Hutchison will not have deliberate racism, but it is true that the Han people in this day are all racists. In addition to Han people and China, they are all barbarians, which is a common mentality among people at that time. Even if they claim to be civilized people, they are indeed European missionaries who are highly regarded by the Chinese. They carry exquisite utensils and cannons, clocks and astronomy theory, as well as profound mathematical skills, and mature religions. These things are mixed together, and in the mouths of the Ming people, they are just a word of red-haired barbarians.

As for the people of these tribes in front of them, they were really useless in the eyes of the Han people. The pride of the people of the country and the pride of the Hutchison Merchants Army soldiers naturally looked down on these foreign cavalry composed of tribes.

However, Zhang Xianzhong stayed by Zhang Han for a while, and knew the inside story. He laughed and scolded: "You know, that's a big deal. These rogue cavalry have been moving in the north, controlling the Barhu Mongols in a proper manner, and also went north to drive away the Russians to intimidate the Gilbut Mongols. They were already brave and were controlled by our people, and they looked very much like they did."

Everyone laughed but didn't say anything. Fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong didn't need to talk nonsense with them. He immediately brought a group of staff and squadron leaders to meet him.

The foreign cavalry were waiting on the slope of a grassland.

This is the Hu, Lun, Bei, and Er grasslands of later generations. The western foothills are the Great Xing'an Mountains. The endless mountains and dense forests meet. The scenery is particularly pleasant and is also one of the famous tourist areas in later generations.

On the right side of Zhang Xianzhong and others is the Greater Khingan Mountains and the grassland border with the Chahars, on the left side is the Krulun River, and further forward is the Eastern Province of later Mongolia, which is of course under the rule of Hutchison.

Seeing Zhang Xianzhong and others coming, the leaders of the foreign tribe came up one after another.

Zhang Xianzhong made great strides to the slope first, but he soon stopped.

Under his feet was a weed and tall shrubs on his side. Zhang Xianzhong tilted his body, his eyes emitting a cunning light. His military boots were polished very brightly. This was the basic skill of Hutchison cavalry. Whenever he was idle, people would carefully take care of their leather boots, polish their boots, and polish them softly. Just like when they were just around the bonfire, the soldiers were chatting while taking care of their boots. They had a pair of good boots, and they were not afraid of how far they walked.

At this time, the hunting cavalry's red military robe, long black military boots, and the sabre, long musket and short musket that Zhang Xianzhong wore, gave people a very strong sense of invaders. Zhang Xianzhong gently turned sideways, deliberately put his left leg in a higher place, pressed his right fist on his waist, and looked at the leaders of the foreign cavalry with a bright look.

These sects came from at least twenty tribes.

After the rise of the city of trade, the business roads were open, and the Barhu people along the way were hired as guards, first fighting wolves, and later helping the caravans to do miscellaneous work and bodyguards. Although the merchants from the mouth were protected by Hutchison, they still felt helpless when they were walking on the grasslands and Gobi where there were often no people for dozens of miles. In some places, it took thirty miles to have a fire road pier. In fact, it was a supply point and a repair station. The original defense function of the fire road pier was weakened.

In the northern part of the desert, the biggest enemies of people were the severe cold and heavy snow, as well as wild wolves, and perhaps a small number of horse thieves, but they have almost been wiped out.

From the Barhu tribe and the three tribes in Mobei, they hired herders as guards, and almost every caravan did this.

The smooth flow and prosperity of the business road brought opportunities. Many elders and leaders of the tribe followed the caravans all the way north, and they also entered the trading city to see if there were any good opportunities.

In the city, these tribes exchanged specialties such as Dongzhu for food, and also expressed respect and surrender to Hutchison. At the same time, many leaders brought out ancestral seals and imperial edicts, indicating that their tribes have always been loyal vassals of the Ming Dynasty.

After thinking about it over and over again, Zhang Han felt that the population of these tribes was a resource. A little support for these small tribes would cause earth-shaking changes. After giving some material support, he could use the Dingkou of these small tribes to form powerful cavalry to prevent the infiltration and continued expansion of the Russians in the north.

This is a very important move.

It is not that Hutchison has no soldiers available, but the vast border line that is thousands of miles long, and it is really not worth the effort to garrison completely with Hutchison's troops and horses.

Under strict training and military discipline, the Han people can station troops in the northern border, but since they have lived here for a long time, tribes that have adapted to the harsh natural environment can be loyal to Hu Ji and provide troops, why not?

If you are not of my race, your heart will be different. This is true.

Use it to use it, but it needs to be threatened, divided, and then tax collection and law enforcement are used to determine the true rule.

Instead of giving a silver seal edict like the Ming Dynasty, it would be over.

Of course, Hutchison has a completely different administrative and military system from the Ming Dynasty, and also has sufficient financial and material resources to ensure the gradual deepening of this rule.

After more than a year, the foreign cavalry has become a very important military force, especially in the operation to drive away the Russians in the north, which has been praised by the senior military officials.

These foreign cavalry had already confirmed themselves, so they were gathered together before the war. Zhang Xianzhong was sent to make early contact with the foreign cavalry, but he had made up his mind to make a name for himself and give full play to his power, and then he would speak well to these foreign cavalry leaders.

Because of this, a very majestic look appeared on Zhang Xianzhong's face, and in terms of the appearance of a hunting cavalry, it was even more majestic.

Many foreign cavalry leaders looked hesitant on their faces. Two years ago, when the hunting cavalry was galloping across the northern desert, many people left a deep impression that they could not be destroyed throughout their lives.

This is an army composed of demons. When Zhang Xianzhong's cold eyes were cast, the lips of several foreign cavalry leaders trembled.

"This damn old Zhang." The captain of the Lancer Squadron looked at Zhang Xianzhong's behavior more than ten steps away and couldn't help but curse: "No wonder Lord Zhang sent him out. This guy has to be able to do his skills."

"Better than us." The captain of the hunting cavalry squadron nodded, not knowing whether it was praise or contempt.

For those foreign cavalry leaders, the tall and thin hunting cavalry in front of him was as tall as a mountain.

When they came here, these foreign cavalry leaders felt a little proud. Although Hutchison's family is great and the merchant army is strong, they can also come in handy when they really fight.

But at this moment, when facing hunting cavalry like Zhang Xianzhong, these foreign cavalry leaders knew how much they were.

A hunting cavalry officer was so scared that they could no longer speak, and even felt sincerely frightened.

These cavalry leaders are also the best among all divisions. They are good at riding and shooting, ignore the difficult natural environment, and can act in war under harsh conditions. Of course, they are not afraid of death. Even they themselves do not know why they are afraid of the tall hunting cavalry in front of them, but this feeling of fear is that it suddenly hits the heart and is difficult to contain.

"Who is this person?" A leader of a foreign cavalry couldn't help but ask the Hutchison officer beside him.

This officer was sent by the Hutchison Military Training Department. There were two or three such officers in a team of about 500 people. They helped train, determine the tactics, teach them some common sense and knowledge in military science, train the obedience of tribal cavalry and regulate their wildness. The wildness is very good, which means that they are not afraid of death, but the foreign cavalry are used to hard life. With religious factors such as shamans, it cannot last for too long.

If it is barbaric, you will definitely win. Then these tribes should be the lords of the grassland now, but in fact this is not the case.

The battle was smooth and the junglers were very fierce, and they were stronger than the Mongols, and they were not inferior to the Jurchens.

The Jurchens are the same tribes as these tribes, and their languages ​​are Tungus or their variants.

However, the Jurchens were suppressed by the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years and were unable to move, which shows that wildness is only useful occasionally. Most of the time, a disciplined army can win, and wildness comes and goes quickly. If there is a slight dissatisfaction on the battlefield, it is very likely that these savages will all collapse and run faster than anyone else.

After training, these cavalry made considerable progress and finally became useful.

These foreign cavalry leaders became proud and even began to become unruly.

After the senior management of the marching department used some methods, including arresting a few of the most disobedient leaders, the rest became much more honest. Only then did they realize that their strength was quite illusory, military pay, weapons, and military rations. Once these things were lost, they would soon degenerate into savages hunting with bone arrows by the river. The strength of the present will quickly disappear without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Now they were afraid and respectful, but when they were brave enough to be a powerful soldier like Zhang Xianzhong, they began to tremble from the depths of their souls, and they were really afraid.

"This is just a company-level sergeant chief of ordinary hunting cavalry." An officer from the Military Training Division said disrespectfully.

All the leaders of the foreign cavalry were a little conquered. Is this just a sergeant?

"The Hutchison is really as vast as a mountain." A leader exclaimed.

Many people nodded. They originally thought that the officers sent to their side were the best in Hutchison.

These officers have certain rules for their actions, and everyone seems to be carved out of the same mold. They walk, talk, sit, and even sleep.

The arrangement of items in each officer's room is quite consistent. When you walk into an officer's bedroom, it is clear what the other officers' bedrooms look like.

The difference is that some officers have their own unique hobbies, such as some who like to play erhu, some who like to play chess, and some who like to read books. Under these hobbies, there will be some different utensils placed.

But basically the same thing is the same, and the order of the toiletries is unchanged, with no exceptions.

Every officer has a unique charm. They are strong and understand everything about military issues. Moreover, everyone is quite brave and not inferior to the warriors of these tribes.

They were also very tenacious and could grit their teeth and persevere in the most difficult environment. Even when they first arrived in the cavalry composed of various tribes, due to the difficulties of conditions, these officers also lived a very difficult military life like ordinary tribal cavalry.
