Chapter 266: The Hilo Rebels
Chapter 266 Heloh Rebel Army
After Wang Xiaozhi left the stone house, he went directly to the slave settlement in the north of the city-state, although the barracks-style management of the Spartan city-state was extremely strict, but all the young and middle-aged men in the Xilonu who had combat strength had been arranged to live in the military area
The only people who actually lived in this slave area were the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and women, so the guards were much weaker than those of the noble, commercial, and military districts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Xiaozhi not only fought a bloody path in this chaotic array with the help of the fire rune thunder method, but also used this method to bewitch a large number of Shilonu to accompany him, although the true power of the primary talisman spell could not pose much of a threat to the elite of the Spartan Praetorian Guard, but
For the foolish people of today, this is already a means of sacrificing to the gods, and sometimes what matters is only the meaning of the means, but the power of the means itself can be ignored.
Everything in the world is nothing more than the word profit, even if it is an uprising, it is nothing more than a violent protest after one's own interests are unbearable, the spiritual belief brought by the divine law religion, the promise and encouragement of the code of conduct, and the armed strength of the secular world are the three most critical points.
It is true that the Helot people did have their own different beliefs before they were enslaved, but the extreme suppression and national integration after the unified adoption and enslavement of the Spartans made this belief already broken, as long as they could help them get rid of oppression and get free, they were willing to pay for it, and Wang Xiaozhi also deliberately referred to the various means of Zhang Jiao, a great sage and good teacher in the late Han Dynasty, with a variety of spells to remove illness and treat the nerves, which attracted many serf families to vote on the spot.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, when Cao Cao attacked Wu, the Qingzhou army headquarters was only 1560,000, and Yuan Shao's Hebei army was only about 100,000, at best, less than 300,000 soldiers and horses could pretend to be 830,000 troops, and the momentum was even more known as a million people, and now Xerxes gathered 46 countries, and more than 100 nationalities had a slightly more military strength than the Chibi Cao army, not to mention that Wang Xiaozhi was also a Persian envoy this time.
Although the Hilo serfs had extremely limited knowledge, they had also heard of Persia, a super empire spanning Europe, Asia and Africa, and it was absolutely impossible for Sparta, which had less than tens of thousands of troops, to resist the millions of troops that came to them, and even in this town with a total population of less than a few hundred thousand, they did not even have a clear concept of the number of millions.
Although both Persia and Sparta fought for the purpose of conquering cities and lands, even if Persia conquered all of them, it would only be a change of ruler for them, but the rule of Persia and Sparta was very different.
Facing the crowd full of doubts, unbelief doubts and dissatisfaction, Wang Xiaozhi said so indifferently: "The Achaemenid Empire spans three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, even hundreds of Greece cannot be compared with it, such a vast territory is far from enough if it is completely managed by the Persians themselves, with the continuous expansion of the territory, it is not the local people who really manage these lands, if the Persians forcibly conquer this place, then in the future, in addition to nominally belonging to Persia, it will not have any impact on their actual lives."
But if you take the initiative to revolt and overthrow Spartan rule and join Persia, then you are meritorious to Persia, whether it is Spartans, Athenians or you Helots, there is no difference to Persia, since you are a member of Persia's own power, then it is not you who actually manage this land except for the Persian Empire in name. ”
Although this is just Wang Xiaoyi's own rhetoric, and has nothing to do with the Persian Empire, in fact, if the revolt is really successful, these Helots will inevitably become the upper nobility relative to the locals, but the leadership team appointed by the Persian royal court is indispensable.
But these are not important to the Helots, what they lack now is just a reason to unite the whole nation, and when the rule of Sparta is really overthrown, even if they still belong to the original power of the Greek Islands, it is okay to form a city-state on their own, in fact, with the Spartans' relationship in Greece, I am afraid that most of the city-states will be happy to see such a situation.
Lack of education and knowledge is not the same as stupidity, in such a large number of people there must be no lack of scheming people, now with this reason is the perfect opportunity to rise, and when it really becomes a trend, it is difficult to say which side dominates in this multi-ethnic mixed group, after all, Wang Xiaozhi is only an Oriental, under the promotion of people from all sides, the size of this rebel army quickly expanded rapidly, and even many border people have invested in it.
Although Wang Xiaozhi is involved in the Six Taos and Three Strategies, the Three Religions and the Nine Streams and the I Ching Bagua, he is not a leader like Zhu Yuanzhang or Spartak after all, and now in addition to performing the so-called miracles, he also puts a lot of attention on his own Taoism. Deliberately let the internal individual minds continue to develop, and promote the development of this rebel army through interests and **, he doesn't care who is in charge of this force in the future, as long as he rises up now, it is enough to be able to use the power of the righteous army to complete the task of the main god, and after he returns to the main god space, everything in this world has nothing to do with him at all, so why bother with distractions.
After all, Wang Xiaozhi is a newcomer who has just entered the main god space, although he has a basic concept of the main god space, but where will the veterans talk to him about this, and he has no way of knowing the specific time to exchange it. Whenever he mentions this matter to him in the future, he can't help but secretly regret it, beating his chest, a controllable plot force that may develop into a ** empire passes by, and what is even more rare is the manipulation of faith, if you take advantage of the situation to establish a unified religious belief, then you can even use this to break through the shackles of the mortal world in the future.
With the Shilots rebelling and joining the rebel army one after another, they soon occupied the surrounding towns, and prepared to launch an offensive against the main city-state of Sparta, in the face of the Helot rebel army under the city, the Spartans were shocked and angry, although the rebellion of these slaves was commonplace before, but such a large-scale was the first time, more than fifty percent of the Hilonus in the city were in an extremely unstable mood, not to mention relying on them to retreat from the enemy, not to set off a riot in the city and let the rebels take advantage of the chaos to attack the city.
At that time, the city-states did not have the high castle walls of later generations, and although they were said to defend the city, they did not even have the city walls, and they could only provide them with a few lines of defense............
