After inspecting Xuantu County, Xu Wei crossed the entire Liaodong County from the east and headed to Anping County in the west by land!
Liu Hu was unwilling to let Xu Wei take the Xi'an flat line from the east, because the road was basically a wild land, and it was far away from the core sphere of influence of the Tengjia Army. Liu Hu was worried about Xu Wei's safety.
But Xu Wei didn't think that there were still forces in Liaodong that dared to offend their Tengjia Army. Of course, Xu Wei also thought that Liu Hu had strong scruples, so he took 200 cavalry guards to continue his patrol!
This kind of cavalry can deal with thousands of Hu soldiers, which is enough to protect his safety.
Different from the west of Liaodong County, there are a large number of Han people gathering in the west, and there are many counties along the way, such as Pyongyang, Anshi, Wenxian, and Pingguo. Each county has thousands of people.
There are many Han villages in the wilds. Although they are far inferior to those inside the Han Dynasty, they are somewhat civilized.
There are only a few Han villages from the east of Liaodong to Xi'an Ping County, not to mention the county seat. Xu Wei could only encounter some Fuyu tribes along the way, and some were simply barbarian tribes. It can be said that this place is basically
Above is the limit range of radiation from the Han civilization.
When these savages saw Xu Wei's strong soldiers and horses, they didn't dare to show up at all. They only dared to monitor them secretly.
However, Xu Wei was very interested in these savages. As long as there was a savage tribe on the marching route, he would definitely visit them. The salt in his hand became the best gift. He didn't need too much, so he gave a pound or two to the local people.
Patriarch, they will definitely receive a warm welcome from Xu Wei and his party.
They are so poor that they don’t even have a caravan. If these savages want to buy salt, they have to go to the county town of Han Dynasty. They walk hundreds of miles along the way. There are raptors and beasts everywhere. It can be said that every time they go out, they risk their lives and are subject to punishment.
Profiteers exploited people, so salt was a very precious resource among the tribes.
After receiving such a precious gift, Xu Wei and the others naturally became the most precious guests.
Xu Wei also observed the tribes of these people. There were some iron tools and fishing nets, which were purchased from merchants in the Han Dynasty. This tribe was not completely closed. Although there were no caravans coming, they would travel long distances to Pyongyang to exchange some production materials.
Even the clan leader can know the name of the Tengjia Army. He is already quite knowledgeable among the savages.
They usually make a living by hunting and fishing, and there are a few sparse fields around the village. They obviously use slash-and-burn farming methods, with extremely low yields. They are used by savages to store for the winter.
Xu Wei went to Liu Hu and asked: "What is the population of Liaodong? If you include the savages, it seems that it is not as good as a county in Jizhou?"
Liu Hu smiled bitterly and said: "If I count the Han people with household registration, there are about 80,000, including three-year-old children. There are about 150,000 Fuyu and other Hu people. These are all tribes that have surrendered to us.
Familiar barbarians! Under my arrangement, these barbarians have opened up wasteland to cultivate land and build villages, and I don’t know how many tribes of savages there are like this. It is estimated that there may be 100,000 or so!"
"This is the reason why my subordinates dare not recruit people from Fuyu. There are already too many Hu people in Liaodong County. If the number of Han people does not increase, we will lose this land sooner or later!"
Xu Wei frowned when he heard it. It sounded like a lot. There were about 300,000 people in the entire Liaodong region, which seemed like a lot.
But now a Liaodong County is equivalent to a province in later generations. It has hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land but only 300,000 people. More than 200,000 of them are barbarians and primitive tribes. No wonder there are virgin forests everywhere.
The wild world is really not an exaggeration!
And what Liu Hu said makes sense. The number of Han people in Liaodong County is less than 30%. Let alone Hanization now, these Han people are already considered good.
Don't think that such a thing is impossible. The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were only in the hands of the Liao people for more than ten years. When Zhao Er came to capture it again, he thought that the Han people would win food and Jing Cong supported him, but in fact
The tyranny of the Han people cooperated with the Liao people's cavalry to beat him desperately. The Han people put in more force, which is proof that the Han people have become barbaric! It is urgent to strengthen the strength of the Han people in the Liaodong region.
Along the way, all Xu Wei saw was endless virgin forest, which reminded Xu Wei of the modern Amazon rainforest. Of course, one is in the tropics, and this is in the cold temperate zone, but the scene of the wilderness is the same.
, they rode for several days without encountering a village, which made Xu Wei feel like he was in a wild world!
And this journey is not without fun. In such a wilderness, beasts have become the masters of the world. Xu Wei and the others encountered many beasts such as northern tigers and black bears. They actually killed three Siberian tigers along the way.
, five big black bears, wild boars, sika deer and other creatures are even more common, so Xu Wei and the others had a feast for themselves. They could eat barbecue three times a day, and they almost vomited from the barbecue.
They walked all the way for 7 days before arriving at Xi'an Ping County. Xu Wei and others breathed a sigh of relief. Although Xi'an Ping County is a small county with only a thousand people, it has finally entered the civilized world. Xu Wei led his men to rest here.
for three days.
Xi'an Ping County was a border city of the later Celestial Dynasty, but in this timeline it was still an inland part of the Han Dynasty. We have to admit that the Han Dynasty had abundant martial virtues and expanded its sphere of influence to the limits of known civilization. Even the Kimchi Kingdom in later generations was a Han Dynasty.
The people under his rule, it is a pity that the descendants of later generations failed to live up to expectations and lost this land.
Xi'an Ping County has changed its flag, but not much has changed because it is too far away from the core of Tengjia Army's rule. Liu Hu originally sent a force of a thousand people to occupy Xi'an Ping County and killed some of the most evil ones.
You are so powerful. When the time comes, you can plant the flag of the Tengjia Army and that will be the end of the matter.
In such a poor place, not to mention the wealthy and powerful families, there are not many powerful families. Most of them survive here in the form of families. This is more powerful than the barbarians, and the natural environment is a hundred times worse than that of the Han people.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, the internal conflicts are relatively small. The Han people here must unite to fight against the surrounding savages and the cruel environment.
In addition, there is no shortage of land here, and the per capita resource possession is extremely high. When external conflicts outweigh internal conflicts, there is naturally no need to allocate land to local tyrants to alleviate conflicts.
Moreover, there are only a few Han people here. If thousands more people are killed, he might as well let the barbarians occupy this place. So Liu Hu basically doesn't care about this land. It's too far away.
I can’t even manage it!
Therefore, the local Han people do not hate the Tengjia Army as much as they do in the mainland. They even regard the Tengjia Army as their biggest opponent. They surrendered as soon as Liu Hu's big sniper came, and his identity changed very quickly. This is also Liu Hu's fault.
One of the reasons for killing people.
The clan elders in several places were surprised when they learned that King Lei Gong of the Tengjia Army had come to Xi'an Ping County. Even the prefect of Liaodong rarely came to such a poor and remote place like them. King Lei Gong was the highest-ranking person they had ever received in the past hundred years.
A big shot.
They united and came forward to ask if they could entertain King Thunder Lord.
Xu Wei did not refuse their kindness. He had a banquet with them and then asked them what they wanted.
These elders immediately pushed out their nephews and said: "King Lei Gong is a hero. Please take these children out to see the world. If they stay in Ping County, Xi'an, the children will soon turn into savages!"
This was originally what they hoped for. They knew everything about the changes in the Han Dynasty over the years! They knew that King Lei Gong was now invincible and was very likely to take over the world. If there was a chance to become a hero from Conglong, of course they would
Fight for it.
Xu Wei thought about it and kept these people. Unlike the powerful clans of the Han Dynasty, these people were not even small landowners. Moreover, given the situation in Liaodong, they were the ones that the Tengjia Army needed to ally with.
So Xu Wei recruited their nephews, and his bodyguards became more than 300 people!
