The ancestor smiled slightly and said: "Divide and rule, using barbarians to control barbarians, is the method that the Central Plains dynasty has always used to deal with the grassland tribes. There is nothing wrong with the way the great merchants did it back then, but everyone ignored the development of the Zhou Dynasty and did not
To think that they are actually
A tribe that mainly focused on farming found a land in Guanzhong like Zhouyuan that was suitable for large-scale farming. As a result, it attracted a large number of people from various tribes and strengthened themselves. In the past, they had been defeated repeatedly and were beaten everywhere.
The migrated Zhou tribe has its own fixed home."
At this point, the ancestor changed his subject: "However, no matter what, at that time, the Zhou tribe was still a vassal state that was submissive and loyal, and never lacked the tribute of mainly Qiang captives. The Shang Dynasty had not yet taken them.
As the main threats and enemies, the real enemies are the Dongyi tribes in the Jianghuai area. They and the Shang
The Shang Dynasty was very similar. They also learned the art of chariots and bronze weapons. Everyone was brave and good at fighting. They were very close to the core area of the Shang Dynasty. The Shang generation kept using troops against these Dongyi tribes, even by the end of the Shang Dynasty.
During the reign of King Zhou, he also sent the main force to an expedition against Dongyi, which gave the Zhou Dynasty the opportunity to sneak attack Chaoge and destroy the Shang Dynasty."
Doupeng sighed: "The Dongyi tribes in the Jianghuai area are very fierce and good at fighting. Even today, Wu Bing Qingguo is a powerful force in the world and the most outstanding light infantry. If it were in the Jianghuai area, there would be water networks crisscrossing it.
Where it is difficult for cavalry to attack
With the advantage of mobility, these infantrymen are almost invincible in the Jianghuai area. Although the Beifu Army Group is centered on northern refugees, it can only become a powerful force in the world after supplementing a large number of local people in the Jianghuai area."
"Further a little further, Wu Yue and Huainan are all places where elite soldiers are produced. This is also due to the folk customs. After all, the indigenous people here come and go quickly, and they are covered with tattoos, which is intimidating. It can be seen that in the Shang Dynasty
At that time, if the Dongyi tribe, which is so close to the heart, becomes an enemy, what trouble it will be."
Heipao said coldly: "I'm afraid that the war between the Shang Dynasty and the Dongyi tribe was mainly related to the need to capture enough prisoners for human sacrifice. After the Shang Dynasty established the dynasty, the demand for human sacrifice was far greater than
In the past, the captives of Xiqiang and Beidi were captured by other tribes and vassal states, which was not very reliable, especially the Zhou tribes.
Not only could they not hand over the prisoners, but they also had to send out Shang troops to rescue them. Only by taking action on their own and capturing the prisoners of the Dongyi tribes who were nearby would it be stable and reliable. However, in order to continue to sacrifice people, the Shang Dynasty had to deal with these Dongyi tribes.
They are often defeated but remain, which makes these tribes accumulate more and more hatred, and finally form a tribal alliance to join forces to fight against the merchant army."
Doupeng shook his head and said: "That's not the case. Dongyi and the Shang Dynasty are of the same race and species. The Shang Dynasty often did not use the captives of the Dongyi tribe as human sacrifices, but as slaves to make them produce and work.
, unless there is a very big hatred, for example, causing a serious disaster to the merchant army.
Loss and casualties. Only at this time, some nobles, leaders, princesses and the like of the Huaiyi tribe may be used in sacrifices. The purpose is for revenge or deterrence, not the sacrifice itself. They are often used for killing and offering sacrifices to heaven.
They are still mainly Qiang people and the Guifang people in the north."
The black robe frowned: "I have never known the origin of this Guifang tribe. It is said that their skin is very white, and some of them have red hair or blond hair. They are completely different from the black hair and black eyes of our Chinese clan, but they are quite different.
Like the Murong tribe. They are a foreign race and a different species. Where did they come from?"
The ancestor smiled slightly and said: "This ghost tribe is not the Di tribe in the north as we often call it, but comes from the far west. About six or seven thousand miles due west of Yin Mountain, there are two big rivers named
The large area between these two rivers, Yaosha Shui and Wuhu Shui, is a prairie with a radius of thousands of miles, just like
Thousands of years ago, between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in our Central Plains, there was also a large area of grassland. However, here we finally entered the era of farming and settlement, and the establishment of cities and states. And between these two rivers, or what is called
The land of the river is still a grassland with a radius of thousands of miles, just like the tribes of Di people in our desert."
"It's just that in this land in the river, there is the Guifang tribe, which is the kind of wandering, violent and warlike tribe. They crossed the Iron Gate Pass and the Khyber Pass to the south and entered the land of Tianzhu Shendu, and also occupied it.
Later, the Dayue clan once established the country of Daxia in Guishang, and went south to conquer Tianzhu. Of course, this process was full of blood and killing, so that the land of Tianzhu was filled with lonely souls and resentful ghosts. This was how Buddhism emerged. About
We have said this before."
Doupeng sighed: "So, these white Guifang people are very ferocious and warlike grassland tribes. They are not my race. They only know how to burn, kill and plunder. How cruel are they?"
The ancestor shook his head: "No, Master Doupeng, you have made a mistake. They are not grassland tribes, but like locusts. They will not leave after crossing the border. They will conquer those settled farming cities.
, demoted all the indigenous people into slaves, and they were slaves forever, and they became priests, warriors, and rulers of the country. They were not like the nomadic tribes of the grasslands in Middle-earth, who just beat and robbed.
Instead of leaving, they will take over the rule, attack and destroy the enemy country, and kill the remaining people and make them slaves. Of course, there are also a large number of murderous sacrifice rituals similar to those of merchants in order to obtain the help of their gods of war, so these ghosts can
The tribes, or in Tianzhu and in the land of the river, are called Aryans, they can be said to be the enemies of all civilized and benevolent countries in this world, because their way of survival is to slaughter, plunder, and conquer."
The black-robed brows frowned more and more: "That is to say, these are a group of truly ferocious gods and evil spirits, underworld Shura. Wherever they go, there is death and slaughter. They conquer other countries, and then make the whole country a slave, and then go to find the next one."
Target, kill all the way, right?"
The ancestor nodded: "That's more or less it. They seem to be nomadic tribes, but compared with our Di people in the north, they are still fundamentally different. The nomadic Di people in the north just live in pursuit of water and grass, simply for survival.
That's all. Only when there is a natural disaster and there is no food will they plunder and attack the cities of other tribes or farming dynasties.
, generally they just leave after grabbing and not occupying, but for the ghost Aryans, nomadicism is just a process, the fundamental purpose is to find cities that can be conquered and ruled, and after conquering, they will use the conquered people as farmers and specialize in
They just farm to feed their tribe. If you want to use anything to describe these ghostly people, it would be locusts." (End of Chapter)
