Who are the Cossacks? Many of them are Rose serfs who escaped from the farm. They escaped from the manor, rode war horses, and ran towards the vast Eastern European prairie.

At that time, because the development of Eastern European prairie was very low, the Cossacks had a lot of room for survival. Therefore, many Ruthenians (including Ukrainians and Belarusians) and Russians, and even some Poles, Lithuanians, and Tatars all became Cossacks.

In fact, the earliest main body of the Cossack tribe was the Tatars. Because among the Cossacks, only the Tatars were the earliest nomadic peoples.

Nomads have a habit of accepting strong men to strengthen their tribes. In order to increase their population, nomads plundered women from farming nations, but also robbed children from farming nations and trained those boys to strengthen tribe force. Similarly, foreign scattered men who defected to their tribes were willing to accept them.

Therefore, the Cossack tribe, strictly speaking, was first established on the basis of the Tatars. After the 15th century, because the scale of Cossacks of other ethnic groups expanded dramatically, the Cossacks became a slavatory, and the Tatars became a very small part.

Most of these Cossacks are nomads at present and are reluctant to do very hard farming. Moreover, they escaped from the manor. If they want to force them to farm, they will probably force them to rebel.

But, Marin is so vulgar? You don’t want to farm, right? It’s okay, I won’t force you. However, I will use grain to exchange for spirits to lure you to farm...

Just plant rye from 20 acres of land and produce wheat, you can exchange it for the spirits that you can't finish in a year. Are you moved by Cossacks?

In addition, Marin would order the trade of sheep to exchange for spirits, forcing the Cossacks to farm for spirits.

Of course, if you exchange a cow or an excellent horse, you will naturally not refuse...

In this way, through the Cossacks' favorite spirits, Marin used temptation to gradually transform them from herders to farmers who adapt to farming.

...

In fact, in later generations, during the Tsarist period, the Cossacks were transformed from pure herders to semi-cultural and semi-pardon groups by the Tsarist government. In the "Quiet Don River" written by Sholokhov, it describes the grievances and hatreds of the Cossack village.

However, it was changed by the environment. At the beginning, the Tsar ordered the Cossack tribes to go to the distant Siberia and the Far East to cultivate. When they arrived, no one produced food for them. In desperation, in addition to nomadic and hunting, they also began to try to farm themselves. By the beginning of the 20th century, the originally nomadic Cossacks had become accustomed to the life of semi-cultivation and semi-pardon.

However, this change takes a long time. After all, it takes a long time to change your concept.

Marin was simple and crude, and seized the weakness of the Cossacks' preference for drinking strong liquor, and lured them to farm and harvest grain for strong liquor. When they adapt to farming and find ways to adapt to eating bread, the Cossacks could adapt to the life of semi-cultivation and semi-pardon.

Then, Marin could not have used these Cossacks to help him cultivate America...

You should know that in this era, there were two or three million Ruthenians, and nearly half of them lived in the Ukrainian prairie area, which was only a few hundred thousand.

If these people are used, Marin can directly add 200,000 to 300,000 cavalrymen!

In fact, Marin was not that greedy. Not to mention 200,000 to 300,000 Cossack cavalry, even 20,000 to 30,000 is enough for him to use. After all, the Indians did not even have metal weapons and did not need too many soldiers. The only threat was probably that the North American Indians were very powerful in the jungle...

How to say, according to the news from South America, hundreds of Cossack cavalry sent to South America have already beaten the Indian natives on the Pampas Prairie to fear. If they hadn't had too few people, it would have probably been the Indians on the Pampas Prairie that had disappeared. Moreover, although these Cossacks were few, it was impossible for them to clear the Indians on the Pampas Prairie to clear the Indians on the Pampas Prairie. However, no one dared to approach the colonial area at the mouth of the La Platre River. This is the deterrent force of the cavalry on the open terrain...

...

However, Marin would not rashly send the Cossacks to the Americas directly. Because the untransformed Eastern European Cossacks are wild and difficult to control. If they are rashly sent to the American grassland, they will probably be letting the tiger return to the mountain.

Therefore, the Cossacks sent by Marin to the Americas were mixed with many German Cossacks, and they used German Cossacks as their commander. Only in this way can we be assured to let those Cossacks be in the Americas. Otherwise, if they were all Eastern European Cossacks and had not been educated, maybe these guys would build their own emirates...

In fact, while luring the Ukrainian Cossacks to farm near Kiev, Marin also sent a large number of missionaries to incite the Cossacks to convert to Catholicism, teach them to speak German, and teach them to be loyal to the Hoffman family...

Of course, it is beneficial for them to convert to Catholicism, such as sending spirits on holidays. When you go to a Catholic church for worship, you can also get a lottery ticket. The reward is similar to the reward of "a bottle of another bottle" for later beverages. Of course, it is not a "a bottle of another bottle", but a reward of "a bottle of whiskey". This reward is not only in line with the preferences of the Cossacks, but also not high cost, which is very conducive to fooling those Cossacks.

Similarly, when missionaries teach them German, whoever learns quickly can also reward a small bottle of Erguotou...

In my previous life, Malin had seen literacy classes in rural areas when he was a child. If he used administrative orders to force illiteracy farmers to accept literacy, the effect was not good. Many people were forced to go to literacy classes and paddling in various ways. Sleeping in class is just a basic operation. Women often pretend to listen to classes while wearing sweaters or shoe soles... Some teachers even said above that there were farmers taking off their shoes and picking their feet, which was messy and smoky...

However, if you get some rewards, it will be different immediately. Rural people like to take advantage of small gains. If you have a reward for literacy, even if you are just some valuable gadgets, your enthusiasm will be different immediately. Especially those rural old ladies who like to take advantage of small gains, they are so positive. Seeing the rewards is faster than that of the big men...

...

What's more, the Cossacks were fond of liquor, and even women liked to drink. It was absolutely good to lure them to learn German and convert to Catholicism. As for children, candy is good! Anyway, Cuba has started mass production of candy, so there is no need to worry about the lack of candy used to lure children to learn...

It would be easy to use when Kiev fully Germanizes the Cossacks and then partially introduce them to America. Of course, the North Sea country can also recruit them. For example, those Cossacks can be sent to the Jutland Peninsula for half-cultivation and semi-grassing. Marin built many Cossack villages there. Now, many Cossacks have been transferred to the Lüneburg prairie, where many Cossack villages are just empty, and they can accept Cossacks.
