The first thousand five hundred and thirty-eighth, the army of terror
Spring returns to the earth, all things revive, and the whole world becomes vibrant and prosperous overnight.
On the vast grassland, messengers in red shirts spread the orders from the Emperor of Chang'an.
After hearing the news, all the tribes in the southern part of the country immediately jumped up like a hedgehog.
The legend has finally become a reality.
The people of the Han Dynasty raised their butcher's knives high. Will they survive or be destroyed?
Everyone has to answer questions.
Soon, someone made a choice.
One after another, many small and medium-sized tribes obeyed the order and began to go south to the Han territory near the Great Wall to accept the arrangements of the Han Dynasty.
The big tribes immediately became furious!
"Immediately send people to stop all the tribes trying to go south. Anyone who dares to go south will be killed!" Changlin Dangtu roared like a furious lion: "Send people again to tell all the shamans: The Han Dynasty
People want to destroy our bow-drawing people so that our ancestors cannot offer sacrifices and the gods cannot offer sacrifices. Please tell the shamans and herdsmen clearly that the Han Dynasty people are our life-and-death enemies!"
But this does not produce much effect.
For human beings, between survival and destruction, most people will choose survival without hesitation.
What's more, since ancient times, the people who draw bows have been masters of survival.
Their main talents are basically focused on survival.
After all, this is a dangerous and unpredictable world.
According to the laws of nature, any ethnic group whose survival ability is not strong enough or whose grass is too tall will only end up extinct.
You can't expect people who don't even know whether they can survive tomorrow to learn how to live a dignified and modest life.
For most of the people who lead the bow, only by living can they have a future.
Moreover, the divine emperor of the Han Dynasty was still the belief and support of many tribes.
Whips and swords cannot deter those who want to go south.
Changlin Dangtu could only choose to block the news as much as possible so that no one would know.
However, it was still impossible to prevent the fugitives from appearing.
Even among his Changlin tribe, many people quietly returned south with their herdsmen and subordinates.
no way.
For the ignorant nomads, they simply did not dare to resist God's will.
What if the gods are angry and all their livestock get sick, and they and their families are all infected with the plague, and all the rivers are cut off?
The crazy wave of escape could not be suppressed at all.
Changlin Dangtu had no choice but to take his people and continue northward, even though he knew that the further north he went, the colder the climate would be and the harder life would be.
But he had no choice.
beat?
Changlin Dangtu knew how much he weighed.
There is no way they can defeat the Han Dynasty army!
Unless other tribes are willing to ally with him and advance and retreat together, the Changlin tribe's little wealth and tens of thousands of cavalry are not even qualified to fill the teeth of the Han Dynasty!
Maybe if the Han army on the opposite side charges, his army will collapse.
But the problem is that after two years of intrigue and mutual attacks, trust among the ministries has disappeared.
It is impossible for each other to trust others with their backs.
What if this guy ran away while he was fighting fiercely at the front? Or simply stabbed himself in the back and took his head to the Han Dynasty to collect the reward?
Even now, under the heavy pressure of the Han Dynasty, the greatest trust that the leaders of the large tribes can have in each other is to communicate with each other and coordinate the retreat route.
Because no one dares to trust an ally who can turn against him at any time and may attack him at any time.
Now, the only thing that can make Changlin Dangtu breathe a little relieved is that his 'friends' have not given up on him.
On the contrary, these profit-seeking Han Dynasty merchants still had normal exchanges and brought him a large amount of supplies.
Including the food he is most lacking now!
Although, these friends may also spread the orders of the Han emperor everywhere.
But he had no choice but to trade with them.
It is a pity that Changlin Dangtu did not pay attention to the minor nobles in his tribe, especially Qionglu, the patriarch of various small and medium-sized clans.
Without his knowledge at all, Han merchants sneaked into the domes of these chosen targets one by one, or whispered in his ears: "If brother can lead his troops to correct the situation, we will get rid of the emperor."
In addition to the promised official title, you can also get fifty cattle and sheep..."
Or, a direct threat: "If you follow Chang Lin Dangtu and continue to resist the king, I am worried that the emperor will be angry and the ghosts and gods will be angry. When the time comes, the sky will collapse and the earth will be burned into a desert for ten days... You should think carefully about it."
Just think about it..."
Or just come up with a honey trap: "I heard that you like the daughter of the xx clan. As long as you can change your mind, then after the king master defeats Changlin Dangtu, then I will definitely send that beauty to you..."
All in all, it was all kinds of coercion, inducement, and sugar-coated bullets, which instantly confused the faces of these grassroots clan leaders.
If the Changlin tribe is a tribe with solid roots and deep connections like the Donghu and Xiongnu, then there may be some problems with the power of this move.
However, before the Battle of Yanji, the Changlin clan was just a run-down settlement on the Munan grassland, with only a few thousand people in the clan together.
Thanks to the Xiongnu's flight north and the vacuum created in Munan, the Changlin tribe was able to take advantage of the chaos and rise.
But what do you mean by loyalty? Foundation? Or cohesion?
Sorry, basically zero.
Especially those clans that actively or passively join the Changlin tribe, they are almost convinced by lobbying.
In just a few days, when Changlin Dangtu was unable to figure out the situation, more than one-third of the clans under his command had already switched sides.
There is no way, the life of the nomads is difficult, even for the leader of a clan, Qu Shuai, his life is not much better.
It may not even be as easy as the life of a farmer in China.
Therefore, the leaders of these clans are actually the easiest targets to be bribed.
But not all tribes are as easy to deal with as the Changlin clan.
For example, Lin Hu's squirming made the merchants of the Han Dynasty worry about their hair turning gray.
These two tribes have profound foundations and a long history. The clan leaders and Qushuai at the grassroots level are basically inextricably linked with their leaders.
Most clans are even branched from this tribe.
Even if there are sugar-coated bullets, they cannot be shot out easily.
It is also difficult to find suitable buyers.
After all, when doing this kind of thing, and you are doing this in someone else's house, you have to be extra careful. If you are not careful, you may get yourself killed if you choose the wrong person.
………………………………
Gengzi (nineteenth) in the spring of the first month of the eighth year of Han Dynasty.
The western part of the Andong Protectorate is located thirty miles outside Chonghua City.
Although, Anton is still extremely cold at this time, especially the Chonghua area, which is a world of ice and snow.
The outdoor temperature is almost below freezing.
But the atmosphere in the military camp was fiery.
The soldiers were brave and passionate, and their war songs were loud and loud, which could be heard for dozens of miles.
"The gradual stone is still high. The mountains and rivers are far away, so it is hard work. The warriors march eastward, and there is no imperial dynasty."
Amidst the singing of "Gradual Stone", Chen Xu walked in high spirits among the military formations.
Chen Xu's western captain now actually controls a huge area starting from Chonghua in the south, Anhua in the east, and Raoleshui in the north. The territory covers an area of 1,000 miles in length and breadth, and 500 miles in width from north to south.
During the Warring States Period, this was already a country.
But in today's Han Empire, it is just a drop in the ocean, a barren land.
However, the population within the jurisdiction is quite large.
Over the years, after Chen Xu took the lead and set an example, heroes from the Gaen feudal state and local immigrants throughout the western and northwest captaincy areas have vigorously built plantations.
Various cash crops and crops are grown in the plantations.
In this black land, although the winter is long and cold, the good times in spring and summer more than make up for it all.
The fertile black land nourishes every warrior who dares to face challenges.
Cotton, wheat, rice, and corn will all have a good harvest.
Moreover, the yield per mu is much higher than that of the fertile land in the interior.
What's even more exaggerated is that the crops here hardly require any fertilization.
The only thing people need to care about is how to transport their output to Sinhwa, Pyongyang, and Incheon Port. It becomes a matter of money.
Therefore, in order to avoid food hoarding and waste.
There is also a flourishing animal husbandry industry in this area.
The main livestock are cattle, sheep and elk.
Although this industry developed a little late, it has now begun to take shape.
Chen Xu alone owns a livestock herd of more than tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and thousands of elk.
Naturally, relatively speaking, the number of slave workers in the jurisdiction of the Western Captain and the adjacent Northwest Captain is the largest in the entire Anton.
Here, the number of Yi Di slave workers far exceeds that of Han people.
On average, a Han has to manage about three Yi and Di slave workers.
Fortunately, Chen Xu's two guardians, Xianbei Houqiu Kegu and Wuhenghou Wuwan, were particularly powerful and supported Chen Xu.
Most of the Yi and Di slave workers were supervised and whipped by Xianbei supervisors or Wuheng supervisors.
The Han people, on the other hand, will always play the role of a kind, kind-hearted, and loving master.
The existence of the ‘dispatch worker system’ and the ‘naturalization order’ has greatly eased the conflict between slave workers and their masters.
Therefore, even if the slave workers in the plantation were dissatisfied and resentful, the targets of their hostility were only the Wuheng people and the Xianbei people.
For the masters of the Han Dynasty, the Yi and Di slave workers always looked up to and worshiped them.
Everyone is eager to serve the five-year dispatch period as soon as possible, and then through the naturalization policy, get the Han Dynasty household registration book that represents the noble status and noble status.
And because the plantation economy in the area under the jurisdiction of the western captain is extremely prosperous and the area is vast, immigrants are few and far between.
Therefore, the immigrants here are basically plantation owners of various sizes.
The smallest plantation owner owned thousands of acres of land and hired dozens of slave laborers to work and cultivate it for him.
Basically, they don't need to work in the fields.
This gives young people plenty of time to learn various skills.
Today, warriors are respected and the spirit of martial arts is extremely strong.
The army has its own golden house, its own beauty is like jade, and there is even a godhead in the army.
As long as there is something to pursue, any young person who has aspirations and aspirations will choose to practice martial arts, study, and hone their skills through hunting.
The fertile land, rich products, and sufficient meat supply have led to the emergence of numerous heroes and warriors among the new generation of young people in this area.
They are born warriors!
These new generations have been drinking cow blood, eating beef, and eating salmon from the deep sea as snacks since they were young.
The concentration of androgens in their gonads far exceeds that of their parents.
So much so that in the wild, heroes once drove away tigers and leopards in anger, and scared away brown bears with a roar.
It can make top predators such as jackals, tigers and leopards in the wild run for their lives after hearing it, which fully demonstrates the high concentration of androgens emitted into the air from the gonads of the new generation.
So much so that these beasts recalled the horrific memories buried deep in their genes and buried in their bone marrow.
The fear of natural enemies, the deep fear of a species destroyer called human beings!
Ten thousand years ago, the ancestors of mankind exterminated countless species and slaughtered countless terrible creatures.
Sabre-toothed tigers, mammoths, and cave lions have all knelt down and sang conquest.
Of course, Chen Xu doesn't understand what gonads are, nor what androgens are.
But he understood how terrifying the army under his command was!
Although today, the outdoor temperature is still below zero, and the breath turns to ice.
But this army stood firm and motionless in the cold wind.
The weapons they held were gleaming with cold light, and the whole army was like a tiger waiting for an opportunity. The sight of it would make people's hearts tremble and their necks feel cold.
The war songs they sang resounded throughout the world and could still be clearly heard dozens of miles away.
Chen Xu, surrounded by Qiu Kegu and Karasuma, stepped down from the general platform and gave a military salute to the entire army.
Today's Chen Xu has a burly figure and a rough face. He is not at all like the playboy he was back then. His hands are even covered with calluses and are as rough as a piece of hard paper.
"I've seen the captain!" The whole army immediately responded, and the sound of gold and iron continued.
"This captain has just received the emperor's order!" Chen Xu raised an object high. This is a tiger talisman, which belongs to the western captain. Now, this originally incomplete tiger talisman is complete.
When everyone saw this tiger talisman, they immediately breathed quickly and their chests were high. They knew that they had finally waited for the emperor's call!
The emperor is calling them!
The brave and fearless Anton Jian'er goes to punish those thieves who disobey the emperor and his father!
After a brief silence, the entire army faced the Tiger Talisman, knelt down on one knee, and stood with swords in hand.
"The Emperor orders me!" Chen Xu drew out the sword from his waist and pointed it toward the west toward the vast grassland hidden behind the mountains of the Greater Khingan Mountains, a world full of hope and passion: "Combate the barbarians in the west, fight against rebellion and punish violence!"
"Long live the emperor!" The whole army shouted: "Long live the emperor! Fight rebellion and punish violence!"
The voices of this terrible army were loud and uniform, and their murderous intent made Qiu Kegu and Karasuma on the general platform tremble with fear, almost shaking their heads.
It is the existence of this army that makes no one dare to jump in the entire western captain's jurisdiction.
Whoever jumps will die!
Because, although this army, this army called the Western Duwei County Soldiers, is not large in number, it only has 3,500 people in peacetime, and even if it is expanded in wartime, it can only have 5,000 people at most.
but……
Each of these soldiers is an enemy of ten!
The best among them, any one of them can kill tigers and leopards and hunt brown bears with their bare hands in the wild.
