The Rise of History’s Most Powerful Empire - Chapter 32

[Chapter 32 Obedience and Resistance]

After forcing the Mengla tribe to surrender, Zhong Yu did not embarrass them too much. After all, this was the first tribe of hundreds of people who surrendered to him, and he still had to do some necessary face work.

If you are too harsh on them, then if you want to conquer those tribes in the future, you must attack one by one, depleting your own troops again and again.

In this way, it is too worthless for one’s own great cause of conquest. In unnecessary places, the consumption of too many troops will greatly delay the time for one’s development and growth, and lose many opportunities for oneself.

The lost land covers a thousand miles in total.

The area is equivalent to an ordinary province in China today.

According to the ancient division, the lost land can be divided into more than ten counties and eighty or ninety counties in terms of the territorial area, the fertility of the land, and the population that can be raised.

If the land is initially developed, it can support the population, 3 million to 5 million, which is a very intuitive number.

Of course, all of this is just an ideal state, not to mention those lands, which are not in Zhong Yu’s hands, and even if they are in Zhong Yu’s hands, he doesn’t have so many people to control them all.

Zhong Yu made a rough estimate of the civilization level of the tribes on the lost land, and one more, the technological development above life.

The entire population of the Lost Plains added up, may be less than one million, or 800,000 to 900,000, not to mention that when Zhong Yu unified the Lost Plains, it must not be peacefully received, and it must go through a battle. Another battle, and there must be a lot of casualties.

Those savages are very bloody, and if you don’t beat them, they won’t give in if you kill them ruthlessly.

Just like this time, in order to unify the surrounding twenty-mile plain, the population of all the barbarians was almost ploughed in half by themselves, and the number of casualties was so large.

It is estimated that when he unifies the entire Lost Land, the population may be less than 600,000.

With a population of less than 600,000, to rule and effectively control it, only 3 million people can control their own territory. No matter how you think about it, it is a fantasy and impossible to achieve.

Therefore, Zhong Yu formulated a gentler method to treat the captives and give them a more tempting treatment.

Let the smaller tribes in the future, or the tribes that are not as strong as their own, after seeing the surrender, they did not treat them as harshly as other tribes, demoted to slaves, and lived a life inferior to pigs and dogs.

And Zhong Yu himself, let them become commoners, pay taxes for himself, obey corvée, and become an ordinary subject under his own rule.

In this way, those small tribes and tribes that are not as strong as their own, compare their treatment with that of other tribes, and the gap will come out. How to choose is self-evident.

Therefore, sometimes it is better to say more than to do more.

Those tribes have sharp eyes, and he will discover and compare by himself, how to choose the best result for him.

At that time, I will be able to do my best to retain more population, make myself more stable in the rule of the lost land, and further accumulate my own heritage, so as to conquer and accumulate the lost land in the future. more strength.

After pacifying the Mengla tribe, Zhong Yu immediately took the troops to the Aisen tribe. However, what Zhong Yu did not expect was that the people of the Aisen tribe were even tougher than those of the Mengla tribe.

The minds of those people didn’t know what they were thinking. In the battle for hegemony on the plains yesterday, all the warriors of the Aisen tribe stayed with their leaders to fight to the death, and none of them escaped.

There may be less than ten men in their tribe, and they dare to resist themselves.

Zhong Yu, who was a little complacent just now, was thrown a basin of cold water on his head by them, which made him feel a little happy, and suddenly all disappeared.

Enraged, he immediately ordered that the Xian Deng camp composed of slaves and the cannon fodder drawn by the Mengla tribe immediately attacked the Aisen tribe.

It is worth mentioning here that there are a total of twenty cannon fodders in the Mengla tribe.

From their tribe, from over twelve years old to under sixty years old, all the males were selected by Zhong Yu to form a cannon fodder.

After being handed over to Zhong Yu to take over the Mengla tribe, he sold his tribe very actively, in order to show himself in front of Zhong Yu as a great elder, and take command.

At that time, I learned that the men of their tribe were going to go out to fight. There was a lot of commotion, but all of them were suppressed by the dog legs of the elders who ordered them to suppress Zhong Yu in advance, so that all the people in the tribe dared not speak out. , Hate the death of the Great Elder.

The siege war began soon, and theirs was not even a cottage, but a dirt enclosure that was piled up with dirt and wrapped in a circle.

This kind of rudimentary city defense, coupled with the Aisen tribe, even if all the fallen people are always mobilized.

All the men, plus some strong women, were only a mere twenty people.

How can they resist those who are like wolves and tigers, eager to make achievements and liberate their servanthood, and the cannon fodder army who is holding his breath because he was called out to fight?

However, within a quarter of an hour, this tribe’s defense was broken by Zhong Yu’s army.

His men didn’t even sacrifice much, they just killed two or three cannon fodder and wounded a few servants.

Afterwards, the people of the Aysen tribe who were hiding at home and did not dare to come out because they lost their defenses.

Ordered by Zhong Yu who lost a lot of people because of their resistance.

All the males of the Aisen tribe, including infants, were all slaughtered, and all the women under the age of 20 were all incorporated into slavery.

All women over the age of 20 gathered and charged into the military prostitute camp, for the soldiers who were very stressed because of going to the battlefield to vent.

Afterwards, a group of red-eyed Xian Deng camp and servants poured into the Aysen tribe.

In the Aisen tribe, screams and wailing suddenly came, and there was an indescribable tragic situation and atrocities.

As for Zhong Yu’s cavalry and young and strong soldiers, outside the tribe, to prevent anyone from escaping, they quietly watched them and acted inside.

Zhong Yu can ignore the first battalion and cannon fodder corps.

However, these young soldiers and cavalry are important forces for maintaining the rule of the domain in the future.

He would not let them free the wild beast in his heart, and eventually turned himself into a demon and completely destroyed himself.

Rather, they are bound to become war machines that obey their own orders, disciplined and organized, not so chaotic.

And those cannon fodders don’t matter, their mortality rate is extremely high, it can be said that the last battlefield, a large number of people will be cleaned.

The replacement is fast and poses no threat to themselves, so no matter how chaotic and evil they are, as long as their number is controlled within a certain range, they will not threaten their own rule over the territory.

And with them, they can also deter their hostile tribes and let them understand that if they fight to the end, they will face the cannon fodder army that released the demons in their hearts.

The army of cannon fodder arrived, and the corpses were everywhere.

Zhong Yu——The desire in his heart is like a beast that hurts people. After losing the check and balance, he will be unscrupulous and fearless.

On February 20, the first year of the first year of the first year, the Lost Land, the Edra Tribal Alliance, the Aisen Tribe and the Mengla Tribe were conquered by the emerging Luoyang City, symbolizing the new overlord, and began to rise.
