The negotiations between the two sides were held in full view of the public. The person responsible for representing the Feiyala people was Yi Amu, the cousin of their leader Guoyin, while the pioneer team was sent by Li Guangcai and Jiang Si from the Guards Team.
】The two sides did not relax their guard because of the negotiation. The new attached battalion, under the command of Wei Xiaojiang, was on alert and maintained a formation that could charge at any time. The Feiyala people did not react because the leader wanted to negotiate.
The enemy took it lightly. The archer standing high up never took his hands off his short bow, and his eyes remained motionless as he stared at the target he had just aimed at.
At the beginning of the negotiation, Yi Amu laid out the conditions of surrender that the cause and effect would explain straight to the point.
"We can surrender to you and pay tribute to you, but we will not move our entire family to the place designated by you. Moreover, the affairs of our Feiyala people are still in charge of our leaders, and you cannot interfere. In addition, we
The Feiyala people cannot fight for you. As long as you agree to these three conditions, we will surrender to you now. As long as we have cattle, sheep, livestock, ginseng and fur in our village and you want it, we will satisfy you as much as possible.
.”
To put it bluntly, Yi Amu's condition is that except for paying taxes to Guan Ning's army, everything about the Feiyala people will remain the same as before. Li Guangcai cannot agree to this condition, and He Manchuan cannot agree to it, because for those tribes that have not surrendered, Zhao Qiang
There were three instructions, namely: the whole clan moved to the area controlled by the Guanning Army; the adult men in the clan had to serve in the military service of the Guanning Army; and the management of the tribe was arranged by Cao, the chief official.
These three instructions were formulated by Zhao Qiang based on the current development trend of the Guan Ning Army and required all places under his rule to strictly implement them. He wanted to convert the small tribes scattered throughout the Far East into the property of the Guan Ning Army in the shortest possible time. Adult men
In order to be incorporated into the army, the original chiefs, clan leaders, etc. in the tribe must be entrusted with management duties by the civil servant of the general government, and they cannot continue to rule the tribe without the consent of the civil servant.
Zhao Qiang never thought that among the people under his rule, there would still be local overlords from the past. If he wanted to control the population in the occupied area through planned economic means, he would have to crush all the vested interest groups in the previous tribes, otherwise these original vested interests would definitely
Every effort was made to prevent the implementation of the corresponding policies. This was well reflected in the tribes that were conquered by force. Those big and small heads similar to the Manchu and Mongolian tribal nobles were all wiped out. However, for those tribes that voluntarily surrendered, this policy
It was a bit troublesome to implement. In order to consolidate and digest the territory and population as soon as possible, Zhao Qiang recognized certain privileges of those tribal leaders who voluntarily returned, and guaranteed their vested interests, so that they could appease the residents.
Residents of all ethnic groups have doubts, but one thing is absolutely intolerable, that is, adult men in the tribe must perform military service or corresponding labor. Zhao Qiang believes that as long as the men in these tribes join the Guanning Army, they will
Stimulated by their military exploits, their status and wealth will rise rapidly. At that time, it will be a question whether the tribal leaders and patriarchs can still use them.
Power and wealth are the best catalysts and the best differentiators. Zhao Qiang firmly believes in this.
When Yi Amu proposed that the Feiyala people not move, not accept the rule of Guan Ning's army, and not leave Ding, Li Guangcai rejected him without hesitation and smiled at the hopeful Yi Amu in an almost mocking tone.
Said: "With all due respect, we cannot agree to anything you say."
"Why?"
Yi'am's eyes suddenly opened wide. Wouldn't handing over the tribe's wealth and paying taxes to them regularly not satisfy these bandits?
Li Guangcai looked at the surprised Yi Amu and said disdainfully: "Because your request is simply a fantasy. Let me tell you clearly, if you want to keep the tribe, you must move as a whole tribe, and the men in the tribe must also fight with us. Only
Only in this way can we accept your surrender."
Li Guangcai did not mention whether Guoyin would continue to exercise his previous power, because he felt that this issue could be resolved by the people. As long as the Feiyala people agreed to the first two items, it did not matter whether Guoyin was the nominal leader or not.
Officer Suolun translated Li Guangcai's words to Yi'am. After hearing this, Yi'am's face turned livid and he shouted angrily: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, we are flying teeth."
Even if I die in battle, I will not agree to your request!"
Li Guangcai knew what the other party was saying without the need for an interpreter. He smiled slightly, pointed back at the soldiers and horses behind him, and asked Captain Sauron to tell Yi Amu that nothing is impossible in this life. As long as he has enough strength, everything can be accomplished.
It is possible that if Yi Amu does not agree, then Guan Ning's army will attack immediately and occupy the village at all costs. At that time, there will be only one consequence, and that is that no chickens or dogs will be left behind! When Captain Suolun translated, Li Guangcai deliberately
Let him emphasize what he said about "whatever it takes."
“Leave no chickens or dogs…Leave no chickens or dogs…”
Yi Amu muttered these four words repeatedly in a daze. For a long time, he raised his head and glared at Li Guangcai with hatred: "I can't make the decision. I have to ask our leader for instructions before I can reply to you."
"Okay, but you have to hurry up."
Li Guangcai casually inserted his sword into the ground and drew a line. Then he pointed at the shadow of the sword on the ground and said coldly to Yi Amu: "When the shadow of the sword moves to this line, it's time for us to attack!"
"snort!"
After listening to the translation, Yi Amu snorted angrily, threw away his hands and turned around to return to the village.
After Yi Amu left, Jiang Si, who had been silent for a long time, laughed, pointed at the shadow of the sword on the ground, and admired Li Guangcai and said: "Master Baihu is so courageous. This single sword attack is really scary, compared to this gang."
The yellow sheep savage must have felt scared."
Li Guangcai chuckled lightly and patted Jiang Si on the shoulder: "Take your people and protect Wei Xiaoqi. He is the one trained by the division commander. If the Feiyala people refuse to surrender, we will have no choice but to attack by force. Wei Xiaoqi is still young.
, he is impatient, you have to be careful, but you can't let him make any mistakes, otherwise we will have a hard time explaining to the division commander."
Hearing this, Jiang Si said seriously: "I have numerous subordinates, so hundreds of families can rest assured that as long as I am here, nothing will happen to Wei Xiaoqi!"
"Well, I'll go and inform General He Qi that you stay here."
Li Guangcai was still clear about Jiang Si's character. Seeing his solemn agreement, he knew that he must take this matter to heart. He didn't say much to him at the moment, drove his horse to the infantry brigade formation, and told He Manchuan about the negotiation process.
"According to you, will the Feiyala people agree to surrender?"
He Manchuan didn't like to use the word "submission" to describe these tribes, because he felt that the tribes who took the initiative to surrender did not come because they were afraid of the strength of Guan Ning's army. They were essentially surrendering. However, since the division commander had given "submission", then
Just submit. Anyway, as long as they are willing to provide people and food to conquer the world for Guan Ning's army, it doesn't matter whether they surrender or submit, isn't it just a matter of name?
Li Guangcai glanced at the village in the distance and said in a deep voice: "According to me, they won't agree immediately. As the saying goes, they won't give up until they reach the Yellow River, and they won't cry until they see the coffin. I'm afraid they still want to fight us to find out.
You have to agree."
"Then let's fight and let them know the consequences of not surrendering!"
He Manchuan took out his long knife and wiped it back and forth on his sleeve. There was a trace of blood on the tip of the knife. After a while, he raised his head and glanced at the several battalions in formation. He said with emotion: "Since the prince died of illness, when have I, He Manchuan, been able to live like today?"
Such scenery, we have everything we have today thanks to our brains. If these Feiyala people don't know what they are doing and work hard on this trip to Beiluo, we will kill them all!"
After discussing with Li Guangcai some matters that need to be paid attention to after the strong attack, just as he was talking, he saw the Feiya people's village gate was opened again, and Yi Amu led several tribesmen slowly walking towards this direction. Li Guangcai saw this
, nodded to He Manchuan, and ran forward on horseback.
"Our leader has said that we can move our clansmen to your territory, and we can also promise our clansmen to go with you on the expedition. However, we can only send five hundred people, and we can't send one more. This is the last condition. If you still
If you don’t agree, then you can unleash your horses to attack!”
Yi'amu spoke very resolutely, with a very solemn expression on his face. The several Feiyala people following him also had expressions of resentment and unwillingness. It was obvious that they were very dissatisfied with the idea of moving their entire family to another place.
"Five hundred people?"
Li Guangcai originally thought that the other party was rejecting them completely and hoped to negotiate after repelling the attack of his entire army. Unexpectedly, they actually agreed, but the issue of childbirth was still entangled. He thought about it and said to Yi Amu:
"Our request is for all the adult males in your clan, but now you only have 500. I can't make the decision. I need to ask for permission before I can answer you."
"Well, you go and ask for instructions. I'll be waiting for you here."
In fact, Yi Amu was unwilling to agree to the other party's request, especially to relocate their entire clan, but Nai Guoyin agreed. He persuaded Xiao Yin and could only continue the negotiation according to Guo Yin's wishes. If the other party continued to disagree, it would be the real deal.
The tribe was fighting for survival. Before he came, Guoyin promised him that if the other party did not agree, then Guoyin would lead his tribe to fight them to the end.
The gap between the requirements of five hundred people and He Manchuan's requirements is too big, because this Feiyala village is the largest tribal settlement within hundreds of miles. There are thousands of Feiyala people in it, and there are absolutely no men available for requisition.
There will be less than 2,000 people, and compared to the previously conquered tribes, these Feiyala people are still bloody and capable of fighting. If their 2,000 men are armed, their combat effectiveness should not be worse than that of the Second Infantry Regiment.
. Now they are only willing to send out 500 people, which is not enough for a brigade. This makes He Manchuan very angry: These Feiyala people are really fucking good at causing trouble, and they are just causing trouble for me! But between Li Guangcai and him
After discussion, He Manchuan agreed to the Feiyala people's request. Li Guangcai meant to agree to them for the time being, and when they move over, it would not be up to them to decide how many people to recruit. He Manchuan also thought about it, this fish is in the pot
Here, whether it should be steamed or braised is not a matter of words. Can this fish still make the decision?
After the conditions for surrender were met, Guoyin and Yi'am were still not completely reassured. They proposed to send out 500 men and a small number of tribesmen to accompany Guan Ning's army. After they arrived, they were sure that Guan Ning's army could properly arrange them, instead of
He regretted killing them and then moved his entire clan there. He Manchuan also agreed to this request. It is now August 24th, and it has been more than a month since he came out. He has conquered nine tribes, big and small, plus this village.
The Feiya people there captured nearly 10,000 old, weak, women and children. Not counting the Feiya people who were recruited into the army, and including the men and horses who escorted the women and children back, there were more than 4,000 men. It cannot but be said that the harvest was quite rich.
Thinking of going back to participate in the third phase of the Dingyuan battle so as to kill the Rakshasa people, He Manchuan left Li Guangcai's infantry brigade to be responsible for the subsequent relocation of the Feiyala people, and he led the Han military camp and the new attached camp to escort the five hundred people.
Feiyala men and three to four hundred old, weak, women and children rushed to Yask first.
