Chapter 384 The land of the ancestors cannot be abandoned

Barutroskiv stepped on the soft black land and looked at the large temple street city ahead, and couldn't help but show a greedy look.

Due to the gathering of a large number of landless refugees, family members of prisoners, voluntary reclamators and merchants, the market towns in Miaojie, which were originally only military camps, became popular, trade and exchanges, and began to show the characteristics of prosperity and liveliness.

This means that Temple Street has become the most wealthy trading center in the vast East and West Siberia region.

For the Cossack cavalry who like to rob, this is the most worthy of their salivation.

So Barutroskif could not show his greedy eyes, especially when he saw some advocates wearing cheap and gorgeous and glamorous clothes made by the Royal Weaving Bureau, he wanted to capture these people now and ravage them hard.

When Barutroskif came to the main hall of General Mao Wenlong, he saw that these Ming officials, who were different in skin color and generally had a smaller body, were so arrogant that they looked at Mao Wenlong with a glance.

Zhu Guozheng, the lieutenant general of the Third Brigade of the Imperial Guard Cavalry, was a graduate of the second phase of the cavalry department of the Royal Military Academy. He made great achievements in the war to fight against the Khalkha tribe and the Korchin tribe. After coming to the Outer Xing'an Mountains, in order to win back the dignity of the Han people who were stranded here and enslaved by the Rakshasa people and other foreigners, his butcher knife was stained with a lot of blood from the Rakshasa people. Therefore, when he saw that the hairy monster Barutroskiv, who was tall and thicker, was so arrogant, he was so angry that he came back. Just when he was about to do it, he was pulled back by Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong is not as young and energetic as Zhu Guozheng. He can become the general of Dongjiang Town and get along well with many civil servants such as Yuan Keli and Lu Xiangsheng, which is enough to show that he is a person who is smooth enough and tolerant and generous. Therefore, he does not feel much angry about Barutroskiv's arrogance and rudeness. In his opinion, as long as the goal is achieved, these minor points are not worth mentioning. The so-called dignity is given by others in the eyes of the weak, and in the eyes of the strong, dignity is given to him by himself.

Therefore, even though Mao Wenlong guessed that these foreign barbarians might not be polite and might be arrogant, as an official of a civilized country, as a general of a dignified Heavenly Kingdom, he should have his own demeanor. There is no need to be as knowledgeable as such foreign barbarians. If these guys really want to be arrogant and think that they have some strength, they think that the whole world is afraid of him, so they can directly use cannons and muskets to let him understand what power is, and there is no need to quarrel here.

The regular uniform of a first-class military officer with a vermilion and a kirin patch on his chest was worn on his body, which itself shows Mao Wenlong's contempt for this kind of Barutroskov. However, Barutroskov could not see that the chief officer in front of him was not wearing court uniforms to negotiate with him, but he foolishly thought that Mao Wenlong was wearing such a bright official robe because he was afraid of the powerful strength of his Cossack cavalry and had to welcome him with kindness.

However, Barutroskiv did not feel that this Ming official was respecting himself because of his narcissism. As soon as he came to Mao Wenlong, he asked in a arrogant manner: "Dwarfs from the south, you'd better hand over your castle obediently. My brave Cossack men may let you go back to the south alive. Otherwise, you will have to sleep here forever, including your wives and children."

Barutroskiv did not know the true strength of the Ming Empire, or he was unwilling to understand how powerful the empire in the south was. At least the Ming soldiers he saw now were not as tall as theirs. In their opinion, a Cossack cavalry soldier could knock down four or five of these yellow-skinned dwarfs, so his tone became even more disrespectful. He spoke directly and scolded Mao Wenlong and other Han people as dwarfs, and his words were full of threatening words. After sitting down, he put the exquisite tea cups placed on the table in his arms.

Although for the people of Daming, such cheap tea cups can be seen everywhere in the Ming Dynasty and can be used by an ordinary person, it is a rare treasure for Barutroskov. Therefore, it is like a robber. He put the tea cup in his arms in front of these Ming officials such as Mao Wenlong. His expression was like taking someone else's treasure. He proudly placed a hairy arm on the mahogany table and knocked it. His greedy eyes swept around. A mirror of more than ten inches could make his pupils dilate, and he wanted to take off the mirror embedded in the wooden tin.

However, Barutroskif was still quite restrained. It was very simple to take away the teacup, but it was indeed a bit lost in front of so many people to take off the smooth and clear mirror that could see the pores. Therefore, he did not control himself and continued to scan other treasures that could make him want to take away immediately.

After listening to the general translation of Barutroskov's words and learning that Barutroskov called him, the generals who had praised Zhuo Zhuo several times as soon as he came, he was furious to forgive Mao Wenlong for being a tolerant person. But when he saw Barutroskov carefully put a teacup into his arms like a thief, he couldn't help but feel funny.

Mao Wenlong couldn't help but think: "After all, they are barbarians. They have never seen such ordinary objects before. They are really ridiculous. They don't have to be angry with such ignorant people. Now His Majesty is busy pacifying the maritime affairs in the south and has no time to take care of the extreme north. He can only compromise with these barbarians in order to seek a moment of peace and preparation for the future destruction of these ignorant people. But these barbarians are too rude. If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's plan, I would really want to take out all the artillery hidden in Curry to fight with these barbarians, so that they can see how powerful their Ming army is! See who is the little guy!"

"Miaojie and Longshanwei are castles built by our Ming Dynasty since the Hongwu Dynasty. This is the land that our ancestors have expanded. We must not abandon our foundation. Please forgive us for not agreeing. If your army is sincere in shaking hands with our Ming Dynasty, we should admit that the area south of the Lena River is the land of our original Nurgandus! If we do not recognize it, the negotiation will only end. If you want to conquer our city, you can only ask whether our muskets and artillery agree or not!"

Since these Cossacks were not polite, they threatened to let the Ming Dynasty offer all the castles built by the military farms as soon as they came up. Mao Wenlong was not polite, and he made it clear directly. If he wanted a city, he could do it! He could only fight, and he would not threaten the Ming Dynasty to offer the castle with a few words. The Ming Dynasty did not have such a coward!
