Chapter 103: Singing about Conquest
readx;?; The grasslands are no different from the past, when millions of people went south, only to be beaten to the point that only 300,000 people fled in disgrace. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Huaitou died, and several of his subordinates fought for power for a few more years, and finally stopped. It's just that Xianbei has also collapsed because of this, not to mention the southward invasion, Fang Yun's non-northward invasion is already considered their luck.
Seeing that a few years have passed, the wounds have begun to heal, the population is less, the food consumption is less, and the life is hard but can still make do. The merchants of the south valued their horses, cattle and sheep, and after the trade, they could buy some salt or iron tools.
Then it is naturally impossible for something to melt into weapons, and the people below also need to live. That bit of iron is not even enough, how can it be fused casually to make a weapon, and even if it is melted, it is not enough to create a peerless divine weapon.
Fortunately, I was able to buy some weapons by doing business with some soldiers on the border. Now that this aspect is strictly controlled, no border army is willing to sell weapons. There is a shortage of iron, and now the arrows can really only use bone arrows, and the iron arrows can't afford to use them!
Some of them, knowing that they were in big trouble, quickly moved north, and never mentioned anything about going south. But there are always some people who have seen the southern flower world, but they are reluctant to leave. Just thinking that the grassland is so big, others are not so easy to find themselves.
They didn't expect that Fang Yun had also been preparing in the grassland for several years, not only had a group of leading parties, but also specially trained a group of falcons, these eagles were not ordinary eagles, each of them was a real Haidongqing. This falcon flies fast and high, and after being trained, it can not only be used to assist in hunting, but also to act as a scout, so that it will not escape its eyes for hundreds of miles.
Seeing that the 20th year had arrived, after Qingming in early summer, Fang Yun personally commanded the army and launched a war to recover the grassland after paying homage to the tombs of the martyrs.
Yes, this was once the homeland of China, not just for later generations. This is true even in this day and age.
At the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought here, but unfortunately he didn't know how to govern it, and the more reason was because of the bitter cold here, and the winter soldiers had no clothes to protect against the cold. In the end, it had to be abandoned and left to the Huns to graze.
Nowadays, cotton has begun to be widely planted in central China, and down jackets are constantly being updated. Coupled with the use of ondols and coal stoves, even an ordinary pawn is now confident that he can survive in this environment.
Prairie is not just prairie either. There are also hills, some mountains, and several rivers and lakes. As long as human civilization has land and water, then it can basically develop slowly. Not to mention, there are still a lot of minerals that are exposed on the surface, that is, those Hu people in the grassland are stupid and don't know how to dig and use them.
The Northwest, North China, and Northeast Military Regions were ready for battle: Zhang He's army was 20,000 and had four divisions under his command: Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Dai, and Gao Lan; Zhou Cang's army was 10,000 people, under the jurisdiction of Xu Le, Liu Wei, Li Tong and Peng Cheng; Yang Fengjun had 20,000 men and four divisions under his command: Zhao Yun, Yue Xi, Guan Zhong and Fan Chou.
With Dian Wei commanding five thousand troubled troops. Following Fang Yun to the Yunzhong region, the armies of all walks of life began to move north under Fang Yun's order. This time, Fang Yun adopted the method of advancing in multiple ways, completely blocking all the grasslands.
He wanted to drive all these steppe people into Siberia once and for all, and if they were interested, they would go directly to the scourge of Europe. If that doesn't make sense, then let them taste the horror of the naturalization order!
It was in this year that he drew a circle in the north, which was not very large. But it covers all the land inherent in China. Of course, it will continue to go north in the future, and the land that will be defeated at that time will also be the land of China. It can never be divided.
Not only that, but he has to fight all the way all over the world, and then create a real eternal empire on which the sun never sets!
In the vast grassland, according to some influences of later generations, he demarcated a number of predetermined places for the construction of cities. These cities will not be built by him, but will only be divided into feudal areas. When the time comes, can a group of people be instigated to come and settle down? It depends on whether those marquis masters can give it or not.
It is said in Liu Wei's theory on the death of Qin that the first Qin flourished in the military merit system, and the decline also fell in the military merit system. The Western Han Dynasty flourished in the military merit system, and it did not fall on the military merit system.
The reason for this is the decline of the military merit system, and people without meritorious service can also obtain the title of marquis by virtue of the emperor's favor, but the old princes have been constantly suppressed, especially during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In the end, the military merit system collapsed, the princes ceased to exist, there was no one around the Son of Heaven to wave the flag and shout for him, and the soldiers and soldiers below did not get the rewards they deserved because of their military exploits, and they became passive and sluggish.
There are many reasons, but in summary, it is nothing more than unfair rewards and punishments, and the interests of the military have been harmed.
Fang Yun had read the theory of the death of Qin, and he didn't understand the long truth, but he could see that Liu Wei was really trying to summarize the reasons for the fall of the pre-Qin and Western Han dynasties. This was not only for himself to see, but also for Fang Yun to see.
Reward, Fang Yun is just a generous person. The emergence of extraterritorial private ownership is but an inevitability. For meritorious people, there is no reward that can be seen and touched, and it is inevitable that there will be a feeling of panic. Even if they are in a high position now, and even some of them have been made marquises, but they have no real territory, and even the houses they live in are state-owned, to say that there is no resentment at all, Fang Yun really doesn't believe it.
I'm afraid that more people are also afraid, I'm afraid that what if my family declines after I die? In the past, there was still a piece of land, even if they didn't work, they could live a stable life by collecting rent, and no matter how long it was, it was not for them to consider. If none of the three or four generations of descendants have a good future, then they deserve to decline.
But now, the state-owned land makes them inevitably a little afraid, after all, they are worried that after death, their children and grandchildren will not know how to operate, and in the end two or three generations will be gone, and they will not even be able to leave a little hope for the rise of the family. As for the so-called feudal marquis, this is actually a joke.
There is no dynasty for tens of millions of years, only a family for tens of millions of years, the dynasty is gone, and the feudal marquis naturally does not exist, everyone understands. Besides, from Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Wu, there were fewer people who were deprived of the marquis?
This time, I heard that the land laid down will be divided according to their titles, although it is a desolate desert north, it is better to have a piece of land than nothing. Even if it completely declines in the end, it's better to be a soil emperor here. Except that he doesn't have military power, the person who can really get the feud is really no different from the Emperor of the Earth!
It was precisely because of this that when they went north this time, those generals were like chickens, waiting for Fang Yun's order.
Since everyone is so positive. Fang Yun naturally couldn't extinguish their interest, only to see him wave his big hand and officially announce that he was going north! As this order spread everywhere, all the great armies quickly moved north. I'm afraid that the speed is too slow, and the battle achievements have been snatched away by others!
Counting the clouds, a total of thirteen road troops, with the help of the leading party and the falcon scouts, quickly headed north. The naturalization order was introduced. Along the way, they first encountered the Hu tribes that were attached to them. Over the years, these Hu tribes have gained a lot of benefits, and their recognition of Huaxia is still quite high.
But would they be willing to accept the naturalization order? The answer is that there are a few people who really don't want to! This group of people is not too small, and four out of ten tribes are unwilling to naturalize.
Why is this happening? Just because their nobles are unwilling to naturalize, a good soil emperor will become an ordinary person after accepting naturalization, and at most he is a big landlord, who wants to be stupid!
It's just that they didn't think about it, since the army has been killed, are they unwilling to say they don't want to?!
Fang Yun's reply was, the people of the tribe. Those who are willing to naturalize still enjoy the rights of quasi-Han Chinese announced in the naturalization order. But for those who are stubborn and plan to live and die with these nobles, then I'm sorry, just be slaves or die!
He didn't even need to explain this order to the other troops, he just treated it as a welfare for them. In the end, it is also a good thing that those marquis who have been divided into feuds have a few more slaves under their hands to help them graze and farm. In the final analysis, there are not enough people living in China, who will run to Mobei to suffer?
It's not that these tribes didn't intend to resist, it's just that they don't have innate generals at all. The most powerful is the general. As soon as he saw his kung fu, he was beheaded by the innate generals, and those who planned to launch a group charge were also beaten by a special move.
They're finally scared, but so what? Since this path has been chosen. Then you have to pay for your actions!
More than thirty tribes became slaves at once, some with only three or five hundred people, some even only a few decades. In any case, there are thousands of people in more than thirty, and there are hundreds of people who can get their hands on a few Hou Ye.
And that's just the pre-dinner appetizer, the real income. Or those Hu people further north!
On the vast grassland, a huge armored force began to move north, and more than 300 armored vehicles have been replaced with six-wheel drive, but the wooden wheels have been replaced by rubber wheels, and this military rubber tire technology has also begun to gradually mature.
This is a new armored vehicle capable of driving 0 km/h, and the cavalry is weak in these armored vehicles. At first, they could barely catch up, but in the end, the horsepower was exhausted, and they could only watch the armored troops ride to the dust.
After a while, they spotted a tribe and sent a car over to warn them. Originally, I didn't expect the other party to surrender immediately, but sure enough, when I learned that it was the Han army, one or two immediately turned over and got on their horses, as if they were really able to deal with these steel monsters.
As a result, there was no need for other armored vehicles to be dispatched, but relying on the armored car that was sent out, the machine gun swept away, and more than 30 casualties were immediately lost. The armored vehicle rushed forward and ran over the wounded man, leaving no one alive at all.
The wounded were of little value, especially those who dared to strike at Huaxia, and the men of the armored division did not bother to spare their dogs' lives.
"Assault! Another batch of slaves! Xu Le gave the order.
Three hundred armored vehicles quickly rushed out, and under a strafing fire, those Xianbei people were also completely stunned. At this moment, they suddenly discovered that these were not ordinary iron bumps, but real steel behemoths. And most importantly, they provoked these behemoths!
Begging for mercy is an inevitable thing, but begging for mercy is useless, and those who do not obey the naturalization order deserve to be slaves.
Oh, speaking of which, it seems that Xu Le really hasn't said this decree to them! But, so what?!
This large campaign, one might even say a large hunt, lasted for more than five months, and did not stop until the intended location was reached. More than 700 tribes surrendered, and these tribes in Mobei were larger and had a larger population base. After deducting the part killed in the war, there are still 300,000 people.
The point is, since the war is over, do you want to start it?! To be continued.
The conquest of the grassland, the crushing of barbarism by technology. This reminds me of the sad picture of the late Qing Dynasty, when tens of thousands of green battalions were scattered by hundreds of invaders......
