Chapter six hundred and eighty-eight: the family plan
The stage of primitive accumulation of capital is always full of blood.
The aboriginal people in the Golden State were ultimately unable to escape the misfortune that enveloped them.
The indigenous people in the north suffered catastrophic attacks.
Countless native people were killed.
Only their women, old men and children were spared. Most of their men died in the battle, and a small number were captured and escorted to do hard labor.
However, the people of the Family Alliance obviously underestimated the ferocity of these aborigines.
Although the male aborigines were captured, if they saw the opportunity, they would secretly kill the people guarding them.
These aborigines have very good personal physiques.
Due to lack of precautions, many soldiers of the Family Alliance were killed by them.
The people in the Family Alliance were very angry and naturally took retaliatory actions.
Kill all male aborigines.
The people of the Family Alliance finally found out helplessly that these aborigines.
Women are better off, but some men really don't give in easily.
They are not afraid of death, as long as they find the right opportunity, they will fight tooth and nail.
It is almost impossible to capture them to work as coolies.
This also led to the subsequent war being full of bloodshed.
It also caused the relationship between the Family Alliance and the aborigines to drop below freezing point.
The aboriginal people a little further away, although they are extremely fierce, but for the sake of women and children, as well as the continuation of their tribes.
Had to retreat.
They had to leave their homes and migrate further away.
At this point, the Family Alliance's reputation spread far and wide.
Which aboriginal people have extreme hatred for the Family Alliance.
But it is extremely regrettable that they are still scattered tribes.
They did not form an alliance and had no intention of joining forces to defend themselves against foreign enemies.
In the original historical trajectory, the Golden State did not form a powerful country.
Which aborigines are not united and united?
In fact, this is something that Li Min has always been confused about.
The Golden State is a large land, and the number of indigenous people is not small.
But they did not create a strong civilization, let alone a strong country.
If they could establish a country of their own, they would not have been massacred so miserably in the original historical trajectory.
Countries emerged in all other birthplaces of major civilizations, but not here in the Americas.
This is also what makes Li Min confused.
Perhaps it's because the natural conditions here are so favorable?
There was so much food that they didn't need any inventions to live comfortably.
They don't need to fight over food and territory, because they don't need to.
Perhaps it was precisely because of such superior natural conditions that they did not form a country.
That's what makes their characters so cheerful and kind.
In short, this is a group of people full of contradictions.
After the various tribes were persecuted by the Family Alliance, they did not unite and become a rope, but were still defeated by the Family Alliance one by one.
After the Family Alliance understood the obstacles, it continued to expand.
Of course, because they lost the help of the indigenous people, their expansion speed became slower.
But wherever you go, as long as there are aboriginal people who have not migrated, they are bound to be poisoned by them.
Moreover, the Family Alliance quickly discovered the weaknesses of these aborigines.
That is, they have no sense of union and unity at all.
Their group is limited to their own tribe.
When they attack one tribe, the other tribes usually remain indifferent.
At most one or two friendly tribes will form a short-lived alliance.
But other tribes will not provide them with any help.
Such a discovery made the Family Alliance breathe a sigh of relief.
If these indigenous people are very united, they can all gather together.
Then, this will be a very terrifying force.
Although in terms of equipment and training, the army of the Family Alliance is better than them.
But even so, it was just a miserable victory.
Even if they could defeat these aborigines, they were destined to have no spare power to continue to expand.
But now, I didn't expect that these aborigines didn't know how to unite at all, giving them every opportunity to defeat each other.
…
Naturally, the news here cannot be hidden from Huaxia City.
After learning the news, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but feel worried, and came to look for Li Min and report the matter.
"Your Majesty, which aristocratic family alliance has already torn apart their hypocritical faces and exterminated all the indigenous people. The methods are extremely bad and the impact is extremely bad."
"Your Majesty, we cannot let them continue to be so unbridled. We must severely punish the Family Alliance and let them know who is the master of this Golden State."
Li Min took a deep look at Shangguan Yi, and then asked intriguingly: "Prime Minister Shangguan, what is the purpose of doing this?"
Upon hearing Li Min's inquiry, Shangguan Yi's face was sullen. Xiao Jiujiu, who knew his love, must not be able to hide it from the emperor.
Shangguan Yi couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, if we give the Family Alliance time to develop and grow, they will definitely become a serious problem for us by then."
"And taking advantage of this opportunity, we can just send troops and defeat them in one fell swoop. And we can also use this matter to gain the favor of the indigenous people. It's like killing two birds with one stone!"
Li Min smiled slightly, and then said: "Now the Family Alliance is integrating some Eastern Slav territory in the north of the Tang Dynasty and building a city in the north of the Golden State. They are doing a good job."
Shangguan Yi couldn't help but said anxiously: "But the better they do, the greater the threat to us!"
Li Xun shook his head, and then asked: "Prime Minister Shangguan, if we send troops to defeat the Family Alliance now, which aborigines are grateful to us, but will they sincerely submit to us?"
"this--"
Upon hearing Li Min's question, Shangguan Yi immediately fell into deep thought, and soon, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.
Yes, if we send troops now to defeat the Family Alliance.
The indigenous people will certainly be grateful to them.
But are they willing to submit to Huaxia City?
The answer, I'm afraid, is no.
Because, deep down, they are so rebellious and difficult to tame.
If they were willing to surrender, they would have surrendered long ago when facing the Family Alliance.
Therefore, it is not the best time to help them now.
And when is the best time?
Naturally, they waited until the Family Alliance forced them into desperation.
At this time, they will naturally seek the protection of Huaxia City.
At that time, Huaxia City will be able to take action naturally.
At that time, not only can the family alliance be defeated, but these aboriginal people can also be conquered.
This is the best time to maximize your benefits.
However, Shangguan Yi still had some worries in his heart.
"Your Majesty, are we just going to sit back and watch the family alliance grow little by little? They are all jackals!"
"When the time comes, I'm afraid they will join together and form a siege on us!"
Shangguan Yi's worry is not without reason.
The strongholds of certain aristocratic families are now located around Huaxia City.
And now, they are expanding aggressively in the northern part of the Golden State.
If they wait until the channels between these forces are opened, they can exchange their needs and form a siege on Huaxia City.
At this time, Huaxia City didn't even have a city wall.
Originally, in Shangguan Yi's philosophy, a city must have walls.
The reason why Huaxia City has not yet built a city wall is because the actual construction of Huaxia City has not been completed.
Moreover, Shangguan Yi did not expect that war would come so quickly.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to quickly build a city wall outside Huaxia City. When the time comes, we can rely on the city wall to resist their attack."
Don't worry about victory, think about defeat first.
This is where Shangguan Yi matures and seeks for the country.
After hearing Shangguan Yi's words, Li Min couldn't help laughing and said: "Why do we, Huaxia City, need to build a city wall?"
"In my opinion, those alliances of aristocratic families are nothing more than chickens and dogs, completely vulnerable!"
"Shangguan Prime Minister, please relax, the alliance of aristocratic families cannot be fought."
After hearing Li Min's words, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but feel completely relieved.
Because what he fears most is that the emperor has not thought of this aspect.
And as long as the emperor has thought about this aspect and is confident, then there will definitely be no problem.
There are already too many facts to prove the emperor's foresight.
Next, Shangguan Yi said goodbye and left.
After Shangguan Yi left, Li Min sighed softly and walked out of the study.
Alone, walking under the moonlight, strolling in the back garden.
This matter was actually all part of Li Min's calculations.
The first step was to introduce which aristocratic families to come to the Golden State to carry out construction.
But a member of the aristocratic family actually discovered the Bering Strait by himself, which saved Li Min a lot of trouble.
Because if they couldn't discover it, Li Min would try his best to remind them that there was such a strait, such a passage to the Golden State.
And as long as people from aristocratic families come to the Golden State and want to build a country here, they will inevitably conflict with some indigenous people.
With the character of the aborigines, they will definitely not compromise with the Family Alliance.
And when the aborigines are desperate, their last hope is to seek refuge in Huaxia City.
Otherwise, the only fate waiting for them is to be exterminated.
And when the time comes, he will naturally be able to kill two birds with one stone.
First, let the aristocratic family help with vigorous development. The aristocratic family built cities on the periphery, built roads, and moved a large number of people.
Everything they do will be to make wedding clothes for them.
Moreover, the greatest use of the family is the knife.
Without this knife, there would be no way to conquer these aboriginal people.
Of course, this approach is actually despicable.
There is not much difference from Li Min personally ordering the killing.
Li Min felt a sense of guilt in his heart.
But, if he doesn't do this.
Hundreds of years later, there will be a group of Easterners who will do this kind of thing.
And if they do this kind of thing, these indigenous people will be exterminated.
If you control this matter by yourself, these aborigines can still survive.
Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but shook his head.
In fact, all this is just self-deception.
You are the executioner with your hands covered in blood!
However, if you want to achieve great things, how can you do it without being stained with blood?
However, after all, Li Min is not a cold-blooded, ruthless, and stone-hearted hero.
It was very difficult for him to go through the test in his own heart.
"Husband."
At this moment, a soft voice sounded behind Li Min.
When Li Min looked back, he found that it was Wu Meiniang.
Shangguan Yi knew these things, and Wu Meiniang naturally knew them too.
Moreover, Wu Meiniang's view was a little more thorough than Shangguan Yi's.
What Shangguan Yi is good at is internal affairs.
But Wu Meiniang's heart is more ruthless than Shangguan Yi's.
There were some things that Shangguan Yi didn't see through, but she saw them clearly.
Wu Meiniang had already guessed that all this was planned secretly by her husband.
When she thought about this, Wu Meiniang was secretly shocked.
Now it seems that Huaxia City is under the control of himself and Shangguan Yi.
My husband is a hands-off shopkeeper who doesn't care about anything.
But in fact, any major events in Huaxia City are led secretly by your husband.
Especially when it comes to dealing with aristocratic families and aborigines.
At the beginning, I didn't even see the details of her husband's move.
I even don't understand my husband's attitude towards the aboriginal people, and I think my husband is a kindhearted woman.
But now, through the war between the Family Alliance and the indigenous people, she truly understands.
If the husband had taken tough measures at the beginning, then they would have to exterminate all the aboriginal people just like the current aristocratic family.
However, population is their biggest flaw.
Their development is destined to be very slow.
It will take at least decades or even hundreds of years to develop.
And now?
Through the hands of aristocratic families, those Eastern Slavs were migrated over on a large scale.
Through the sword of the Family Alliance, the aborigines were driven to a dead end, and eventually all of them were forced to come to Huaxia City.
It wasn't until the end was coming that Wu Meiniang could clearly see the beauty of her husband's arrangements.
Moreover, my husband's layout can allow the Golden State to be completely formed in just a dozen years or even shorter.
And if you follow your own strategy and use force against the indigenous people from the beginning.
Then the result will be completely different, and it may even take hundreds of years to reach this situation.
Moreover, her husband had been planning it for so long, and she had just discovered it.
And now my husband has begun to make arrangements in Eastern Rome.
As for these layouts, I can't quite understand them, I can just vaguely perceive them.
Wu Meiniang was completely convinced by her husband's methods.
Only such a powerful man can truly impress her.
At night, Wu Meiniang found her husband wandering alone in the back garden.
After thinking for a moment, I understood my husband's state of mind.
My husband is good at everything, but there is one thing he is not ruthless enough!
In Wu Meiniang's view, her husband did not personally order the massacre of these aborigines, which was the greatest kindness to them.
What's more, although some of their people will die.
But after surrendering to their husbands, they will definitely be able to live a better life.
Of course, in Wu Meiniang's opinion, this womanly kindness of her husband was exactly what she liked deeply.
Li Min turned around and saw Wu Meiniang walking towards her under the moonlight.
I still remember that there was a song in later generations called It's All the Moon's fault.
There are two lyrics in it: I admit that this is all the fault of the moon. The moonlight is so beautiful and you are so gentle. That’s why in an instant, I just want to grow old with you.
At this time, Mei Niang suddenly reminded Li Min of the first time they met.
Every moment between the two of them, everything came to mind.
The two have known each other for a long time.
But after getting married, the time spent together is very little.
Li Min was running around everywhere.
Secondly, when Wu Meiniang was in the Tang Dynasty, she helped Li Min manage the Huaxia Commercial Bank.
After arriving in the Golden State, he had to take care of the entire Huaxia City.
The time the two of them get together is actually very rare.
This made Li Min feel a little guilty in his heart, and he couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Wu Meiniang tightly.
Wu Meiniang also hugged Li Min tightly.
At this moment, both people can feel each other's heartbeat.
They only felt that the two of them were very, very close.
…
At this time, the Family Alliance began to worry about something.
They were afraid that at this time, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty and King Li Min of China would come to deal with them.
This is a fatal moment.
If this is really the case, then their family will really be in trouble.
They must avoid this happening as much as possible.
In the end, the people from the Family Alliance came up with a way to break the situation.
That is, first draw the Tang Emperor's attention away so that he has no time to pay attention to them.
The Family Alliance began to secretly contact the Dashi Empire.
This is the Arab Empire in the eyes of Westerners.
The Arab Empire once attacked Datang many years ago.
At that time, Li Min, who was still the king of Shu, led a large army and killed them, throwing away their helmets and armor.
In the end, the Dashi Empire had to compromise and signed a peace treaty with Datang.
That battle was also the most painful defeat the Dashi Empire had ever experienced.
This made them hate and fear Datang.
Until now, they have been fighting in the north and south, and they are constantly fighting against foreign countries.
But they had no idea about Datang.
Datang has become an eternal pain in their hearts.
But now, people from Tang Dynasty suddenly came to the door.
And told them that now is the best time to attack Datang.
The country of Big Food has just experienced a civil strife in the country.
It was precisely because of this civil strife that they stopped their Western expedition.
It also allowed the Eastern Roman Empire to breathe a sigh of relief.
Now the new king is eager to prove himself.
However, this does not mean that he is a brainless person.
Datang has been listed by them as one of the forces that cannot be offended.
Therefore, upon hearing the words of the Tang Dynasty envoy, the Food King immediately became furious.
"Come here, capture this man and chop off his head."
This Tang man is naturally the envoy photographed by the Family Alliance.
When they first met, he didn't expect that the big food king was going to chop off his head, which frightened him stupidly.
"Wait! Your Majesty, I have good intentions and sent you such confidential information. Why do you want to see my head?"
Hearing the envoy's inquiry, the Great Food King sneered: "Our Arab Empire and the Tang Dynasty are friendly neighbors. What is your intention to sow discord between our Arab Empire and the Tang Dynasty? Come on, chop him down!"
"Wait a minute! Your Majesty! Now Datang has fallen into serious civil strife. Don't you really want to take advantage of this opportunity to get a share of the pie?"
At this time, two guards had already received the order from the King of Food, stepped forward, grabbed the Tang Dynasty envoy, and were preparing to escort him down.
After hearing what the messenger said, the King of Food could not help but raise his hand and said: "Wait a minute, listen to what he has to say! I would like to hear what he has to say?"
Datang had fertile land and a vast territory.
How could the Arab Empire be indifferent to the big fat man right next to it?
If the first battle against the Tang Dynasty had gone well, they would probably have completely captured the Tang Dynasty by now.
Now that the Tang Dynasty has fallen into civil strife, how could the Food King not be moved?
After seeing the Big Food King's actions, the envoy of the Family Alliance already knew what he was doing.
It seems that the Great Food King must have wanted to attack the Tang Dynasty.
In this case, things will be easier to handle.
Thinking of this, the envoy couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, what the Tang Dynasty relied on was just the original King of Shu."
"And now, the King of Shu has been enfeoffed by the Tang Dynasty to the Golden State tens of thousands of miles away, and has been renamed the King of China."
King of China?
This reminded the Big Food King of Huaxia City.
Originally, their Arab Empire's attack on Eastern Rome went extremely smoothly.
But I heard that the Eastern Roman Empire received help from Huaxia City and became extremely tenacious in its resistance.
This made their battle against Eastern Rome fall short.
At that time, the big food king was still confused.
Where did this Chinese city come from?
Why do they have such sharp weapons and armor, even though they don’t belong to the Tang Dynasty?
Now that I think about what the messenger said, the food king still doesn't understand.
The king of China is the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty!
If that's the case, all of this would be correct.
The King of Shu was most afraid of the King of Food. At that time, it was this King of Shu who beat them to the point where they lost their helmets and armor and fell into pieces.
Now that I heard that the King of Shu had left the Tang Dynasty, the King of Food was in awe of the Tang Dynasty, so he left half of it first.
Then, the envoy continued: "And now, the Emperor of Tang has driven all the aristocratic families out of the Tang Dynasty and sent them all to the Golden State to kill each other with the King of China."
"Now, the larger aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty have transferred all their accumulation overseas. Now is the time when the Tang Empire's national power is at its weakest."
