Xiao Letian's new army is very elite, this unit is now named the Marine Corps, of course, this name has not been called in the world, European military observers and the Manchu government still call Xiao Letian's army the Ryukyu New Army.

In the sequence of the Marine Corps there is a special unit, which European military strategists translate as marksmen or hunters, and Xiao Lotian himself prefers to call these people by the name of a sniper.

This is the elite of the elite, the king of soldiers, more than 50 people represented by the dragon master of the green forest together to design a set of hand-to-hand combat skills, each sniper must have 50,000 rounds of basic shooting training, at the same time, they also have to undergo ultra-long lurking training, and high-intensity armed off-road ......

The perverted training has created a group of perverted soldiers, and the sniper has become the spoiled son of the Marine Corps, Xiao Letian's most precious eyeball.

The dissatisfaction of these Japanese samurai is very unreasonable, this kind of door-to-door greeting ceremony is originally a ritual for veterans to welcome new recruits, and the sniper team is more serious than this every time they receive new recruits, and it is said that 10% of the new snipers in each issue will be driven crazy alive.

For example, the commander will ask you to lie in a one-meter-deep dung pit for three hours, or he may lock you in a confinement cell for three days and three nights for no reason, and you will suddenly be greeted with a bucket of ice water while you sleep...... There are many kinds of abuse, and this is not because the trainer is psychopathic, but the sniper profession must have very strong mental strength and must be able to resist all kinds of pressure.

Sneaking up on these Japanese rookies by the sea is not bullying people at all, for Ye Qiu and the others, this is a natural hors d'oeuvres.

Regardless of whether Shimazu Asuka and others are convinced or not, today's dismount is still very useful, not to mention those extremely practical hand-to-hand combat techniques, these Japanese samurai are already ashamed of themselves. Maybe the snipers on both sides are not opponents when they fight with knives, but they are really not as experienced as these lads in hand-to-hand killing techniques in chaotic battles.

All the samurai landed ashore from the ship in batches, and Long Ye and the vanguard soon came to the pine forest to join the vanguard, these marines, who had been trained for more than three months in the Cheongjin region of Korea, had already lurked in the Far East ten days earlier, with a total number of four hundred.

"General Xiang, the place we are in now is actually the so-called Ningguta region of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which has been a place where officials and slaves have been distributed since ancient times, and it first belonged to the territory of the Haixi Jurchens and the Wild Jurchens, and it belongs to the wild areas in the wilderness, with a vast and sparsely populated environment and an extremely harsh environment......

"In fact, even the Jianzhou Jurchen faction represented by Nurhachi also thinks that this is a barren land, and has always only asked for tribute from some leather goods, Haidongqing, pearls, ginseng and other specialties here, and the annual finance is actually reversed, and it is the center of the Qing Dynasty that subsidizes the ......."

Ye Qiu seemed to have done a lot of homework in advance, and he began to explain the origin of this land on the map.

In fact, as long as you compare the map of the Manchu Dynasty with the modern map, the terrifying place of Ningguta is in the territory of Haining City in today's Heilongjiang Province, but in the Qing Dynasty, this land was under the jurisdiction of General Jilin.

At that time, although the Ningguta area also paid treasures to the central government as taxes, due to the backward productive forces, this rich land was completely undeveloped.

The defenders of Ningguta needed to bring in silver and some grain from the Central Plains, which was a disguised subsidy from the center to Guanwai, because the soldiers and generals had to live here after all, and the silver and copper coins transported from Beijing would eventually have to be spent locally, so this was a supplement to the local currency.

For hundreds of years, the nomads in the Ussuri region have not felt it themselves, but they cannot deny that they have received financial subsidies from the Central Plains in their lives, and only in this way can life be considered better.

But when the Russians took it, everything changed. The funds for the Russian garrison in the Far East were all self-raised, and this was also a helpless place, and even if Moscow wanted to transport supplies, it would not be able to do so.

At this time, the local Han Chinese, wild Jurchens, and Oroqen people all felt the pressure of life, because the Russians demanded taxes not only for gold, pearls, furs and other treasures, but also for silver, copper coins and grain.

"Lord Xiang, this is the core of the contradiction, if the Russians want to solve the supply problem, they will inevitably purchase grain from Qing merchants and Korean merchants, and people can't just rely on hunting and eating meat! Isn't the flour consumed by tens of thousands of troops an astonishing number?"

"But this piece of white mountains and black water can't grow crops at all, grain must be bought, Russian soldiers charge a part of the extra tax, the aborigines will naturally eat less, compared to them are very nostalgic for the past life, at least the Manchus don't want their grain and copper money......"

"In fact, before we came to this land, the conflict has been uninterrupted, the people here are fierce and extremely aggressive, at the beginning the Russian tax collection team was often attacked and beaten, and then only the army went down to rob the tax to receive the tax, but then the contradiction will become deeper and deeper......"

"According to the Prime Minister's analysis, this is really the best time for us to intervene in the Far East, because before the Trans-Siberian Railway was built, the light and heavy industrial products and army supplies in Moscow could not be transported at all, which means that the current garrison must choose brutal means of rule, and they can't do it if they want to Mu Chunfeng, which is the most fundamental motivation for us to lead the local people to build a country!"

"Good ......" Long Ye clapped his hands, "It's good to be young, you can consider problems from many aspects of economy and politics, this is the talent of the general, not bad, really good!"

Long Ye tapped on the map: "Now the Russians in the Far East should be in a state of poverty and madness, and the gold mines in Qingdao are not allowed to be mined ......by Chinese?

"If it were a normal rule, there would be no need for Aitolin and Tiachenko to intervene militarily, they could have collected taxes directly from the gold miners, even if the taxes were heavier, Chinese they would not choose to ......rebel if there was a way to live."

"But the two of them did not do this, but directly chose military massacre, which shows that their purpose is to monopolize the gold mines, and their finances are now in an extremely difficult situation, and this is our best chance......"

Sister Wu smiled, "Why do I feel a little painful, it seems that our money bags are going to shrink a lot......"

Hahaha, Long Ye laughed heartily, "As long as this world can do things with money, it doesn't matter! If you can buy more than one million square kilometers of land with money, then the prime minister will be happy even if he eats pickles every day!"

"Bring our guests up!"
