Chapter 100 Forced Recruitment and Expansion of the Army

There were eight missionaries who came to Suui City with Duncan, five of them were Spaniards, one was Dutch, and two were Portuguese. The deceased Peter and Polly were both Spaniards like Duncan . 【】uu

After Guo Fei released them from the stone house under Zhao Qiang's order, these people, like Duncan before, thought that the barbaric Tatars wanted to kill them.Under Duncan's explanation and persuasion, these people realize that they are free and don't have to die, and there is still a lot of wealth waiting for them in the future.

Thank you Almighty God!The priests half-kneeled on the ground for the first time, piously made the sign of the cross to the west, and then surrounded Duncan very fanatically, asking him what the Tatar general promised them. What good.And began to discuss how to transport the wealth back to the country after gaining wealth, and whether to write letters to let fellow villagers from Macau come over. Only the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo mentioned that he wanted to build a cathedral on this land, but it was quickly forgotten. The hot companions were shunned aside in the cold.In this regard, Ronaldo stepped aside in disappointment, shook his head and sighed with his chin in his hand, but soon, he came to his senses, ran to the priest of Cailan, and asked him loudly why he had to come from the Dutch East India Company. Buy muskets for these Tatars, not the English or the Portuguese or the Spaniards?

Because the names of the missionaries are very difficult to remember, they are called Francisco, Andres, Emilio, Pablo, etc., which are completely different from the names of the Han people, and their faces are similar. In order to save trouble, Guo Fei made his own idea and gave them Chinese names.And it is mainly based on his surname. For example, Francisco will be called Guo Youfu, Andres will be called Guo Youxi, Pablo will be called Guo Youlu, Ronaldo will be called Guo Youshou, and the last Dutchman Biginho will be called Guo Youcai.

There is no need to change Duncan's name, because the word "Duncan" sounds very authentic. Although Duncan said that he has a Chinese named Zhang Fakui, Zhao Qiang found it immediately after hearing about this name. He, decisively ordered him never to use this name in the future.

For this order without any explanation, Duncan seemed aggrieved, but he soon accepted this fact, because he knew that he could not change the Tatar general's mind.As long as I don’t give me the same Chinese name as them, Duncan thought so, because he knows Chinese very well, and he knows that the names that his companions will use in the future are very tacky.

Youfu, Youshou, Youlu, Youxi, and Youcai, these five high-level names, Zhao Qiang admired Guo Fei and repeatedly praised him as "talented".Guo Fei was also very happy to be praised by Zhao Qiang. He secretly thought that there would be foreign devils in the future, and what names should be given to them, um, meritorious deeds and rewards.

Originally thought that these missionaries had their own abilities, but after Duncan explained, Zhao Qiang realized that they did not have much ability, and they had no other ability to survive except for helping others.This is far behind Zhao Qiang's imagined missionaries who are proficient in astronomy, geography, mathematics and physics. Compared with people like Matteo Ricci and Tang Ruowang, they can't hold a candle to them.

The missionaries sent by Europe to the East are all trained, and they have learned a lot. It can be said that everyone is a small encyclopedia. Why come to me, but they are all a bunch of doctors?Zhao Qiang felt incomprehensible, although he didn't take them seriously, but there were a few people like Tang Ruowang and Nan Huairen, which undoubtedly helped his career development, at least it was a big help in terms of firearms.In Jin Yong's "The Deer and Ding Tale", isn't there a plot where Nan Huairen casts a cannon for him?

In the end, these few missionaries knew nothing but sickness, which really made Zhao Qiang feel aggrieved: I don’t run a hospital, what’s the use of having so many foreign doctors like you, these guys must be ghosts!

Under his pressure, Duncan told him the truth honestly.It turned out that he and those Spaniards were not missionaries at all, but they were poor in the country and couldn't get along, so they thought of taking risks in the East, whether they could be lucky enough to become rich and return home.As a result, when they came to Macau, things were not as they imagined. Just like in China, they were also unpopular, and the compatriots in Macau did not provide them with opportunities to make a fortune.The Qing Dynasty was fighting the San Francisco Rebellion. Foreigners had no way to go north. Even if they could go north, they could only talk about it when they arrived at the capital of the Qing Dynasty. Compared with those compatriots who came back laden with gold and silver from America, this trip to the East was really terrible.

In desperation, Duncan and his companions made an appointment with Dutch Guo Youcai, Portuguese Guo Youshou and Guo Youlu, who were as unlucky as them, and decided to venture to Japan, the country of gold. Can the emperor take care of them so that they can make a fortune in Japan? fiscal.In order to have an identity cover, they pretend to be missionaries.Of course, their medical skills are genuine, because they have been self-taught during the long voyage, and Guo Youcai, among them, was a doctor who took care of people's diseases before he came to the East.

After hearing the truth about Duncan, Zhao Qiang talked for a long time. Based on the idea of ​​using what he could, he ordered Wei Ji to set up the Shouyi City Hospital, which is located at the place where the wounded are recuperating.In addition, 120 old and weak men, [-] women, and [-] strong women of various ethnic groups were selected from Wu Jun's family members, a total of [-] people were transferred to the hospital for use.Guo Youfu is the dean, and Duncan is in charge of translation. In addition to diagnosing and treating the wounded, they are also responsible for imparting their medical skills to these men and women without reservation.

When Duncan heard that Zhao Qiang asked them to be doctors, his face immediately changed, but after hearing Zhao Qiang's words later, he turned from cloud to cloud.

"After my people master your medical skills and can treat soldiers independently, you will be responsible for my musket procurement. Don't worry, Duncan, I can tell you clearly that even the silver mine in Nerchinsk It won’t be in my hands in the short term, and I can have enough wealth for you to purchase for me.”

"Rescuing the sick and healing their wounds is what God taught us. It is my honor to serve the heroic soldiers of Your Excellency the General!"

Duncan looked at Zhao Qiang sincerely, and Zhao Qiang also looked at him sincerely. The two looked at each other with satisfaction.

In the next two days, the sergeant sent out to the north of the city for reconnaissance did not bring back any information about the Russians, so Zhao Qiang focused all his energy on internal planning.Two of the strong men who had been sent out to grab the heads a while ago had returned, and one of them bumped into a dozen Barhus who were hiding from the Russians on the way, and brought them back after some persuasion.The other one had a small gain. He successfully persuaded the Hezhen tribe with more than 300 people to vote.When the two entered the castle, Zhao Qiang met them personally, and fulfilled his promise according to the price agreed in advance.With the return of these two strong men, in the next few days, more and more young men of various ethnic groups, as well as old and weak women and children, or a few or dozens of people came to vote. Suddenly, Shouyi City became lively.
