The Rise of Iceland

Vol 2 Chapter 5: Thinking of the 8 flag system

Olaf watched his father Hadar and his uncle Hagrid together with his two uncles, Heine, Ulav and others in his home. In the warm house in the cold winter, they drank wine and discussed the management of the Herut Manor. A series of measures.

Olaf felt that he had benefited a lot. Although he was also considering these things, he felt that it might be difficult to practice. After all, all he knew were the policies of other countries, especially ancient China, which were completely different from Wenlan's situation. .

   In the age of backward feudalism, the division of people into different ranks is the fundamental basis for maintaining the stable development of society.

Olaf felt that his father said that Icelanders, white slaves, and savage slaves had become a three-tiered pyramid structure to rule Vinland. It is currently very effective, but after a long time and a larger site, the white slaves may be dissatisfied, but Olaf thought At that time, we can imitate the chiefs of the Far East and the golden chiefs of the Far East, and "lift the flag" to the white slaves, so that the white slaves can obtain the status of a free citizen and enjoy the same rights as the Icelanders. Whether it is a white slave with a free status or a white slave who is still a slave, They will do things more faithfully.

This idea Olaf is going to follow the Manchu Eight Banners and perfect a system to maintain his own correct rule, so he is still considering how to use the culture of Icelanders and other Europeans to change the situation that everyone can accept and recognize. If it is completed With this system, Hadar must be persuaded to agree.

  The system of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties began with the two banners, and then became the four banners and the eight banners. This evolution is a change caused by the increase in the Jurchen population.

   After Mongolia and Han people also joined, the Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Eight Banners came into existence.

Because the early Manchuria was to dismount the horse for the people and mount the horse for the army, so the Eight Banners that ruled all the Manchus was the foundation of the Manchu, which is the top of the pyramid. Under the Manchu Eight Banners were the Mongolian and Han Eight Banners, and further down were the Green Camp, etc. Traitors relied on Hanchen after the Manchu Dynasty changed from a military organization to a ruling power. However, the Eight Banners system was not cancelled, but it slowly lost its combat effectiveness.

   Olaf doesn’t know much about the history of the Manchus, but he knows one thing, even if the Eight Banners system fell behind in the middle and late period of the Manchus, the Eight Banners soldiers had no combat effectiveness, but the Eight Banners still had a strong control over its people.

The establishment of several levels of master-servant relationship between the banner owner and the banner, the master and the slave, the armored man and the coat, makes the Eight Banners a whole, which can exert a strong combat effectiveness when there are few people and savage, because the master can determine the slave All the slaves can only serve the master with all their strength.

   It can be said that the Eight Banners system is a system for cultivating slaves.

After Europeans experienced the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, now except for Eastern Europe, serfs have become the past tense. The traditional sense of slaves basically does not exist. What exists is indentured slaves or indentured servants who must respect personal property. .

   Therefore, it is difficult for Europeans and European cultures who advocate freedom to make white people and even white slaves willingly be the servants of the banner master, the coat of the armored man or even the coat of the armored man.

   The success of the Eight Banners system lies in the fact that the Jurchens first annexed the various Jurchens and Mongolia of the same cultural system, and then invaded North Korea, which has been enslaved by the two masters for hundreds of years, and the captives can accept the reality of being a slave.

Later, after entering the customs, the shaved hair and easy clothes and the wanton killing caused most of the bones of the Han to die, most of the people who understood the righteous culture died, and the rest were ignorant people who broke the backbone of the cultural and intelligent people. Under the education of castration culture, the later Qing Dynasty also recognized the rule of the Manchu Qing court.

   Olaf felt that he used the good thing of Eight Banners, and it was 80% unacceptable, but it might not be impossible to change the name, put on other skins and adjust it.

Olaf began to study the Icelandicization, or Vinlandization, of the Eight Banners system from December 1627 to January 1628 in the Julian calendar. At the same time, Hadar and others also conducted an outdoor exercise every other day. Militiamen were trained.

   Industry is good at diligence and wasteful at play.

This old Chinese saying is true. In the winter when everyone else is dormant, the militiamen in Herut Manor are working hard to train their troops. Hadar rewards the militia family with a smoked fish every day, and there are mountains of food and meat in Hagerburg. Dried fish is also being consumed quickly.

   Hadar, Hagrid, and Hudick all firmly believe that with a large amount of materials invested, in the spring of this year, more than one hundred militiamen will become invincible soldiers who crush the indigenous people!

In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the White Slave Spearmen and Icelandic Musketeers, Hadar also promised that as long as they performed superiorly in the battle of training and conquering the indigenous people, they would give indigenous slaves, money, land, and even free people. identity of.

   Now in the entire Herut Manor, except for the leaders and managers, neither Icelanders nor others are free citizens, so the status of free citizens is still very attractive.

The brave Icelanders under Hadar’s leadership are looking forward to conquering and enslaving the indigenous people. Hagrid’s white slaves do not put the indigenous people in their eyes. From a moral point of view, the militia of the Herut Manor possesses comparable The fighting morale of the German mercenaries made Hudik, the militia leader, very satisfied.

On January 10th, after eating a hot oatmeal meal with salted fish, Hadar, Hagrid, Hudik and other leaders left Hagerburg with 110 militiamen and went deep into the hinterland of the northern peninsula. Marching, preparing to practice rapid marching, exercise stamina and discipline, Olaf originally wanted to follow it, but Hadar considered the inconvenience of walking in snow ~www.novelmt.com~ so Olaf followed Ulav to look after the house in the manor.

Out of Haigburg, because there are lands, slaves, and free people hanging in front of you as rewards, the 110 militiamen seem to be strong soldiers of the hundred battles, even if they walked eight or nine miles in the snow in one breath, I felt Very tired, but still no one asked for a rest.

   Hadar, Hagrid, and Hudick rode horses, while Heine, Hoskuld, and Kadir followed the team and exercised themselves.

Hoskurd felt that he was almost out of breath, and looking at the formation on the left side, it was a little stretched and deformed. Knowing that everyone was approaching the limit, he walked to Hudike and whispered: "Hudike! You can rest. Rest, someone will collapse if you leave!"

Hudick used to lead his men in the mercenary regiment to go out for twelve miles in one breath before resting. Now the militiamen only walked out less than nine miles and all face red and panting. He frowned, and then remembered that the snow is not easy to walk, so he little bit Head, loudly ordered to stand still, and drink a sip of wine to quench your thirst.

  The Icelandic Musketeers took out the small swan-necked clay pot from their arms, uncorked them and drank a few sips of wine mixed with water.

  The white slaves don't have this condition, they can only grab a few handfuls of snow and chew to quench their thirst.

   Hudik was going to let the militiamen rest for a candle time, so let them move freely.

   Many white slave spearmen and Icelandic musketeers went to pee under the trees in the distance.

Hadar and Hadar Hudik dismounted and walked to Hoskurd's side to talk and wait. Suddenly heard a gunshot not far away, and then an Icelander shouted loudly: "Chief Hadar! Captain Hudik! Someone attacked. !"

   Hadar and the others hurriedly greeted the militiamen to assemble when they heard the call for help, and rushed towards the place where the sound came from.
