Chapter 1272: Prairie Red Slave

A gust of warm wind blows, and under the fat grass, you can always see leisurely cattle and sheep, who are fanning their tails and eating the grass seriously, a thriving beauty.

However, such a beautiful scenery could not make the grassland people have the joy of a bumper harvest. Because...... It's going to war!

The nomadic people of the northern steppes have hundreds of tribes, large and small, who have been submissive to the Northern Wei Dynasty for two hundred years, relying on the powerful backer of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Because the grasslands were vast and inconvenient to manage, the Northern Wei Dynasty decentralized, allowing the people of the nomadic tribes of the steppe to manage themselves according to their own way of life. As long as there are no major incidents, as long as there is no war, the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty almost turns a blind eye to all ethnic groups and tribes.

Even the practice of bypassing the Northern Wei Dynasty and running to harass the borders of Xiliang, Dongyang and South Vietnam and taking the opportunity to get gold, silver, treasures and food is also tolerable.

Due to the decentralization of the Northern Wei royal family, the various tribes of the grassland began to compete for the dominance of the entire grassland a hundred years ago. In the end, the Yun clan became the first tribe of the entire grassland due to its prestige, strength, and the support of the Northern Wei royal family.

After the other 100 tribes harvest every year, they leave 70% for their own use, and the remaining 30% is handed over to the Yun tribe for unified custody, and in winter, it is distributed to each tribe by the Yun tribe.

If the food is really insufficient, the Yun clan will report to the imperial court, and then the imperial court will send grain to the Yun clan, and the Yun clan will distribute it to the tribes.

Who knew that two years ago, the powerful Yun Clan suddenly changed overnight. The second largest clan, the Red Nu clan, suddenly attacked, and the retainers of the Yun clan rebelled, and the Yun clan patriarch and his wife died tragically under the enemy's sword overnight, and the son of the patriarch did not know where to go.

And the Red Nu clan also gained the power of the Yun Clan in this raid, and became the largest tribe in the entire grassland, and its power exceeded the previous Yun Clan by as much as double.

After the Northern Wei court learned about this matter, it sent Qin to investigate the matter, but in the end, it suffered from insufficient evidence and the strength of the Red Nu family, so it had to be turned into a big thing and a small matter.

Within two years after the Chinu clan replaced the Yun clan, they gradually controlled the remaining 100 tribes by force and reformed the grassland.

In the past, the Yun clan only allowed each tribe to hand over thirty percent of the harvest, and the remaining seventy percent was managed and used by each tribe itself. Even if the thirty percent of the harvest is handed in, in the end it is taken from the people for the people, and when the food and cloth are not enough in winter, the Yun clan will also distribute the thirty percent of the grain uniformly, and the most bitter and cold land will be divided more, and those big tribes will be less divided.

However, after the Red Slave came to power, after the reform, the tribes had to hand over sixty percent of their total harvest to the Red Slaves, and they were all handed over in full.

Not only does it not divide, but in winter, the Red Slave will send people to loot the people's fat and ointment again, as long as you dare not give it, then you will fight each other.

Some small tribes really couldn't survive anymore, so they had to rise up and resist. However, the Red Nu clan was originally the second largest tribe in the grassland after the Yun Clan, and after destroying the Yun Clan, it became the most powerful tribe in the history of the grassland, who could beat it?

Moreover, after the Red Nu exterminated the Yun Clan, they immediately recruited a large number of troops.

Isn't it true that your little tribe can't survive? Then you leave your tribe and join my party, and I will feed you.
