Text 854 [Drawing lots to garrison]

    "No one stays voluntarily, so we have to think of other ways." The missionary officer Jia Shi once said.

    Wang Fuchen pondered for a long time: "It's better to draw lots to decide, and the ones who are drawn will stay. Of course, they can't stay here all the time, and they will rotate in two to three years."

    Jia Shi once said: "I heard from Khabarov that people are more likely to die here than in Hailanpao. When we stationed in Hailanpao, we had to consult the local aborigines to adapt to the winter in Hailanpao. We need to accumulate experience here, so  When you switch defenses, you can¡¯t change them all at once.¡±

    Wang Fuchen said: "There are 60 soldiers in the garrison, and 20 people are replaced every year. Food is transported from Hailanpao every year, and 20 soldiers are brought along to change defenses. Twenty new soldiers accumulate experience with forty veterans. So  , Sixty garrisons can be replaced in three years, and the survival experience of new garrisons can also be guaranteed.¡±

    "Yes." Jia Shizeng nodded.

    Wang Fuchen also said: "Since the change is completed every three years, there is no need to bring the wives of the soldiers. If they become pregnant, many babies will die."

    Hailanpao and Yakesa's Datong Army are all unmarried or widowed.  They married an indigenous woman from Heilongjiang, and they have already settled down in the Heilongjiang River Basin. If they have to change defenses every year, then there is really no need to bring their wives to Yakutsk.  "

    Only the Cossacks had such a miserable life in Tsarist Russia that they ran to places with ice and snow, and even established strongholds on the permafrost.

    Allowing the Datong Army to settle in Yakutsk is simply tantamount to exile, which is difficult to accept emotionally and rationally.

    Jia Shi once said: "You can ask the imperial court to exile some serious criminals. Those who commit heinous crimes and must die are not even eligible to be exiled to Heilongjiang. In the future, they can choose to be exiled to Yakutsk. It doesn't take too much, Yaku  Cike can maintain dozens of Han people.¡±

    "Although many people may die, after a few decades, the Han people here should be able to multiply to hundreds or even thousands." Wang Fuchen agreed with this.

    After the two discussed, they called the soldiers to draw lots.

    Before no one signed up to stay voluntarily, they heard that the lottery was decided, and no one had any objections.  Counting military officers and civil servants, more than 500 troops were dispatched this time, and only 60 people were drawn to stay. Those who were drawn could only consider themselves unlucky.

    Wang Fuchen said to the soldiers: "Don't be afraid, next year there will be 20 people who can switch defenses and leave. At that time, a lottery will be drawn to decide who will leave. One of the three will only need to be stationed for one year. I will keep Khabarov  , teach you how to plant the land here, and teach you how to survive the cold here. By the way, some of your Daur wives are already pregnant, and all the soldiers will help take care of them."

    The military clerk brought a pen and paper.

    Cut the paper into small squares, wrote 60 characters of "stay", and all the rest were blank.

    The soldiers lined up to draw lots, and the clerk opened them up to announce the situation on the spot.

    "Miss."

    "Miss."

    "Miss."

    "Keep!"

    ""

    The unlucky one who got the word "stay" did not hang his head down, but smiled wryly at himself.

    "Zhang Tingxun, what team are you in? Get out quickly!" Wang Fuchen yelled suddenly.

    Zhang Tingxun ran out of the line, held his head high, and saluted with crossed arms: "General, I am also in the Datong Army. If I don't participate in the lottery, how can I convince the crowd? From now on, I won't be able to be a man in the army!"

    The rest of the soldiers looked over one after another.

    Wang Fuchen was overwhelmed immediately, and if Zhang Tingxun was not allowed to draw lots, the soldiers would inevitably complain, which would not be conducive to him leading troops in the future.  If Zhang Tingxun wins the lottery, how can he explain to his old boss Li Zheng if he freezes to death and dies here?  And how to explain to the Duke Zhang Tieniu?

    ?Wang Fuchen, who was capable and decisive in commanding the battle, couldn't make up his mind for a while, and turned to look at the missionary officer Jia Shizeng.

    ?The missionary officer focuses on ideological work and considers more things than Wang Fuchen.  Jia Shi thought for a while: "Old Wang, it's impossible not to draw. Once an exception is made, there will be countless people who break the rules in the future. I hope this little prince will not be drawn."

    Wang Fuchen glared at Zhang Tingxun fiercely, and said angrily, "Go to the queue!"

    "Yes!" Zhang Tingxun ran back to his original seat.

    One after another, more than 200 people have drawn lots, but there are only a dozen or so winners, and the chances of winning are getting higher and higher.

    It is very possible that when the paper sign was shaken in the box, many "stay" signs were shaken to the bottom.  Because I wrote 60 characters of "stay", I put it in and shook it all at once.

    Wang Fuchen hurriedly shouted: "Shake it again, the labels are not even."

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    All the soldiers laughed when they heard the words, they could all understand Wang Fuchen's difficulties??Disrespect women?  But adapting measures to current conditions and local conditions, nothing is static.

    There were more than a dozen soldiers on the spot, willing to accept the Cossack woman.

    Peng Chunlin asked: "Is there any more? If not, I will assign the remaining women to those slaves as wives."

    After saying this, two more soldiers raised their hands.

    Peng Chunlin nodded and said: "You draw lots, go and choose your wife. Choose the rest of the women, and let them choose their slave husbands."

    The Datong army first selects women, and the remaining women then select slave men.

    Finally, Khabarov announced to the slaves: "You are all free, you can continue to stay here to farm the land, pay some grain as tax every year, and the rest of the grain is your own. If you want to leave, you can leave now.  "

    Go fart!

    The tribe they belonged to has long been nomadic, and now leaving Yakutsk is tantamount to death.

    Selected by a woman to be her husband's slave, she is willing to believe in the Datong Army, and is the first to kneel down to thank her for her kindness.  The rest of the slaves were dubious, but still willing to stay and farm.

    A few days later, the weather became colder and colder, and the night was almost close to zero.

    After half a month, it began to snow.

    When the ground was full of snow, the Datong Army welcomed the first batch of guests.

    More than a dozen reindeer pulled the sled, and there were people and fur on the sled, and they quickly approached the castle.

    These are the natives who came to exchange for hostages. They only appeared after the snow fell, and they came and went like flying on sleds, which can prevent the Cossacks from tracking.
