Chapter 422: No Choice
There was no way forward, there were pursuers behind, and they were dizzy with hunger, and the warriors of the Baiteng tribe suddenly collapsed, and after hearing that they could surrender, with the surrender of the first person, the remaining Baiteng warriors surrendered one after another.
With the surrender of these Hundred Teng warriors, this battle is over here.
The battle was over, but the matter was not over, and when the matter was counted afterwards, there were more than 20,000 captives of the Baiteng clan, which was nearly double the total population of Wang Xiaoming and their local area.
Therefore, it is necessary to be very careful in dealing with these captives.
For the handling of prisoners, they are also encountering them for the first time, so Wang Xiaoming still needs to personally stipulate the regulations.
The first is to determine the identity of the captives, compile a roster of the captives, and then treat each captive differently according to the status of the captive.
Prisoners of high status could be held independently and then dealt with according to the situation, while ordinary people of low status were directly pulled to work as coolies, first to build an arsenal in the valley, and as for what happened later, that will be said later.
At the same time, Wang Xiaoming is still developing his own manpower among the captives, and the power component of the Baiteng clan is very responsible, and it is absolutely impossible to be monolithic, and Wang Xiaoming can find people who take refuge in him.
In fact, after obtaining some news from the Baiteng tribe, Wang Xiaoming talked to several of the captured small leaders, and after promising some benefits, these small leaders immediately agreed to defect.
After negotiating this matter, Wang Xiaoming first returned the manpower of these small leaders to them, and then gave them some weapons and daily necessities.
Giving them weapons is to strengthen their strength, giving them daily necessities, and letting them taste the sweetness, and in the future, for the sake of interests, they will do better work.
Then this part of the manpower, almost a thousand people, was put back.
At this time, among the Baiteng clan. But it has already exploded.
Eighty thousand troops, but the elite troops of the Hundred Teng Clan, almost all the troops of the Hundred Teng Clan were withdrawn, but now the result is that the eighty thousand army attacked, but only a few thousand people escaped alive, so when the news came back, it immediately caused a shock among the Hundred Teng Clan.
The ordinary people of the Baiteng tribe were crying and worrying about their relatives, while the leaders of the Baiteng tribe were worried about the fate of their tribe.
The Baiteng clan is not a monopoly in this land, they also have internal strife, and there are many enemies outside.
The biggest enemy is naturally Da Zhou. It's just that Da Zhou doesn't look down on their land, and the Baiteng clan is good at jungle warfare, so they can live on this land.
However, in addition to the Great Zhou, the Baiteng clan still has other enemies, and the rest of the races are also eyeing the territory occupied by the Baiteng clan.
When the strength of the Baiteng clan was still there, these foreign enemies naturally did not dare to fight the idea of the Baiteng clan, but now the strength of the Baiteng clan has been greatly reduced, and they have almost lost the ability to fight on a large scale, in case there is an invasion of foreign enemies at this time. They're terrible.
These leaders were all thinking at this time, it would be good to be able to hide this news.
It's just a pity, such a big news of defeat, so many people know about it. How could it be concealed, within a few days, their opponent, the Dongtou tribe, knew the news of the defeat of the Baiteng tribe. Immediately, they united and sent an army of 50,000 people to attack the territory of the Baiteng clan.
If it had been before, the elite soldiers of the Baiteng clan would still be there. If you are in a defensive position, there is no problem in organizing an army of 100,000 people, and you are not afraid of the attack of the Dongtou tribe at all, but now, the 80,000 army has been defeated, and there are many young and strong people in the tribe who have been killed and wounded, even if you can organize troops again, it will not reach the previous level.
Whether it can win the attack of the Dongtou tribe is really hard to say.
And with the current situation of the Baiteng Clan, the probability of them being defeated will be relatively high.
Just when the whole Baiteng clan was panicking, the more than 1,000 people returned to the tribe and brought back some news.
First of all, he brought Wang Xiaoming's notice, in which Wang Xiaoming explained his purpose, his purpose here was not to embarrass the Baiteng clan, nor to come here to kill people, but to come here to do business and develop, and also to find a place for his people to live and live.
And the territory here is obviously big enough, enough for the two of them to get along safely here, as long as the Baiteng clan doesn't go to them for trouble, Wang Xiaoming won't send someone to find trouble first.
But the war has happened, and although the Baiteng clan has suffered heavy losses, Wang Xiaoming's own losses are not small, so the Baiteng clan must compensate Wang Xiaoming for his losses.
The loss of this compensation is those captives, these captives will not be released in a short time, of course, Wang Xiaoming will not kill them, but they must work for Wang Xiaoming, and they need to work under Wang Xiaoming for five years, and they will be released after five years.
You don't want the wages for your work or anything, but the problem of eating can still be solved.
The people of the Baiteng tribe who work in Wang Xiaoming's hands can at least have enough to eat, and they don't have to worry about being hungry and being abused.
After talking about the problem of these captives, he talked about Wang Xiaoming's needs, Wang Xiaoming needs a lot of resources within the territory of the Baiteng clan, such as various ores, and other resources, as long as these resources are transported to the place designated by Wang Xiaoming, you can get various rewards with Wang Xiaoming.
Rewards that can be exchanged include coins, as well as food and household items.
Living in the mountains seems to have everything and lacking nothing, but in fact, living in the mountains is inconvenient and many things are very lacking.
Even food is very cherished, and most people rarely have enough to eat once, let alone those daily necessities.
In the Baiteng tribe, everything is very lacking, metal and cloth are also lacking, and an iron pot in their home is also very precious, and even many families use an iron pot together with several families, because of this reason, it is conceivable that among their tribes, the thirst for metal weapons can also know why the weapons in their hands are so varied, and the number is scarce.
These materials are naturally very scarce in the mountains, but in Wang Xiaoming's hands, it is not difficult to get them. As long as you have silver coins in hand, you can buy anything you want.
Along with these news, the price of the exchange materials, how many ores for how many silver coins were exchanged, were all clearly written.
According to the price set by Wang Xiaoming, as long as you are diligent and get more ore a day, the grain in exchange is enough for a family of five to eat.
And similar to an iron pot, you only need to work for five days in exchange for it.
As soon as these news spread, they immediately stunned the people of the Baiteng clan.
They all thought that Wang Xiaoming and the others were here to occupy their land and kill them. But where did they think that it was such a result, Wang Xiaoming and they not only would not occupy their land, but would also give them a job.
It's just that for this news, most of the Baiteng tribe still maintain a half-believing mentality.
Unlike the others, the leaders of the Baiteng clan saw another content from the news, that is, the kindness expressed by Wang Xiaoming.
The current Baiteng clan is in danger, if they can get Wang Xiaoming's help, then they can tide over the difficulties.
But the risk is also very huge, in case Wang Xiaoming is found. But Wang Xiaoming turned his face and refused to admit death, and he wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, so their Baiteng clan would also suffer.
But if Wang Xiaoming was not called to come over to help, it would be difficult for them to achieve victory by themselves. Even if they win, they will lose a lot, and for the current Baiteng clan, such a loss is not something they can afford.
It's too big. The big boss can't make the decision alone, so he can only call all the big and small leaders over, and everyone will meet together to come up with a solution. A decision was made.
It's just that the ability and insight of these leaders are even worse than the big leaders, otherwise, they wouldn't be just a small leader.
In fact, this is also normal, after all, they are just a small tribe living in the mountains, they don't even have their own culture, and they don't have any knowledge, how much knowledge can they have?
Discussions came and went, and it was the big boss who made a decision.
The rest of the small leaders couldn't think of any good way, so naturally they could only obey the orders of the big leaders.
After making a decision, the big leader did not dare to delay for a quarter of an hour, and immediately took action.
The next day, a group of envoys of the Baiteng tribe came to Wang Xiaoming's big village, and the person who led the way was a small leader of the Baiteng tribe who Wang Xiaoming put back, and Wang Xiaoming also wanted to know the other party's intention, so he personally received them.
The number of the other party is not too much, only seven or eight people, among which there is a dark and thin old man, and the group is faintly dominated by this old man.
The old man didn't introduce his identity, but directly asked about what Wang Xiaoming said, he wanted to know if the news Wang Xiaoming said before was true.
Is it really not to exterminate the Baiteng tribe, is it really possible to exchange those things in the mountains for silver coins and food, and what is the exchange ratio.
Wang Xiaoming's heart moved, he was very patient, and he introduced the things he said before one by one.
The thin black man listened very carefully and asked a lot of things, and Wang Xiaoming patiently answered them one by one.
After talking for a long time, the black and thin old man slowly revealed his identity, it turned out that he was the big leader of the Baiteng clan, named Dos Nahu, and Wang Xiaoming directly called him the big leader of Dos.
Wang Xiaoming was also quite surprised by the visit of the big leader of the Baiteng clan in person, he really didn't expect that this big leader was still a person who had the courage to listen.
However, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't feel too surprising, after all, it is a person who has become a big leader, and he still has some brains, plus he is not young, and he does not lack life experience, so it is not unusual to have such a decision.
And Wang Xiaoming also thought of a point, from the words and deeds of this big leader, Wang Xiaoming guessed that the other party probably already knew his intentions, so he would have the courage to come here.
Wang Xiaoming's intention is also simple to say, that is, he needs the manpower of the Baiteng clan to do things for himself.
What Wang Xiaoming lacks most now is manpower.
And as the big leader, the status of the big leader of Dos in the Baiteng clan is naturally very high, if Wang Xiaoming still wants the Baiteng clan to work for him, it is naturally impossible to kill the big leader of the Baiteng clan.
However, the big leader's courage is still very large, because there is a great chance that Wang Xiaoming may also kill the big leader.
Because in this way, the Baiteng clan will be leaderless in a short period of time, and Wang Xiaoming can send troops to attack the Baiteng clan.
The luck of the big leader of Dos is good, in this game, his bet is right, Wang Xiaoming really won't kill him.
Of course, this is also because the big leader of Dos is a smart person, otherwise, Wang Xiaoming wouldn't mind leaving the head of the big leader here.
After the two sides talked about their identities, some topics were easier to talk about, and Wang Xiaoming didn't mind explaining his purpose clearly, after all, his purpose was not to harm the interests of the Baiteng clan, in a certain way, he was still here to help the Baiteng clan.
After listening to Wang Xiaoming's words, the leader of Dos smiled bitterly, and said with a kind of regret: "I knew that this is the purpose of the leader of the king, why did our two families fight for life and death, and killed so many people." ”
Wang Xiaoming smiled slightly, but he thought in his heart, if he hadn't beaten you first and was scared, the death and injury would have been unbearable, would you be willing to talk to us?
Wang Xiaoming can naturally take out the trade weapon at the beginning, but that result will definitely not be exchanged for the goodwill of the Baiteng clan, but will attract greed, but now it is different, before revealing his wealth, Wang Xiaoming has already shown his muscles, although the Baiteng clan is interested in the interests of Wang Xiaoming's hands, but they are even more afraid of the sword in Wang Xiaoming's hand, so naturally they don't dare to have any other thoughts, and they will be willing to come over to negotiate.
Of course, there is no need to say these words here.
Wang Xiaoming said lightly: "It's not too late for the two of you to join forces now, what do you say, the big leader of Dos." ”
The Great Leader of Dos naturally nodded again and again.
It is impossible not to resent Wang Xiaoming, originally their Baiteng clan lived well here, but as soon as Wang Xiaoming came, he first robbed their Dazhai, then killed their clansmen, and killed so many people, resulting in an unprecedented weakness of the Baiteng clan, all of which Wang Xiaoming was the culprit.
But in the current situation, although the Great Leader of Dos was resentful in his heart, he didn't dare to show it at all, because their Baiteng clan still needed Wang Xiaoming's help.
The enemy of another tribe came to attack their Baiteng clan, it was to exterminate their Baiteng clan, and also to occupy their tribal land, it was a race war, and the battle with Wang Xiaoming could naturally be put aside first. (To be continued......)
