Chapter 751 The advantages of ten years of hard work
The dozen or so forces that suddenly rose up looked like chess pieces pushed out by the lord of the border. Naturally, they attracted much attention and even hatred from the local forces in Daqizhou County, which was close to the border.
Then, they started fighting!
This beating lasted for three full years!
Three years have passed, and Daqizhou County, which is close to the border, has been beaten to a pulp, and of the dozen or so forces that had risen strongly before, only six are left.
This is war, and this is the price to pay for participating in war.
It was only then that the local forces in Daqizhou County, which was close to the border, felt that the remaining six foreign forces were no longer a threat, so they slightly relaxed their encirclement and suppression offensive against them.
To be honest, although the dozen or so forces that suddenly appeared were strangled to only six groups, encircling and suppressing them would also require a huge price to pay.
The local forces in Daqizhou County, which is close to the border, also suffered extremely heavy losses.
With nearly ten fake elixir masters' desperate counterattack, and their subordinates imitating the powerful combat power of the frontier army, it is not easy to completely kill him.
If you are not prepared, if you fail to encircle and suppress you, you may be counter-attacked!
The local forces in several states near the border have also suffered great losses in the past three years, and now they no longer have much energy to continue targeting the remaining six stubborn foreign forces.
At this time, the local forces in several states near the border also realized that they had misunderstood.
The dozen or so foreign forces that suddenly emerged were not the vanguard sent by the lord of the border, but the forces created by a group of careerists who had been lurking in the border for a long time.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if you know there is a misunderstanding. Foreign forces have to go through this.
If they survive, they will have the qualifications to compete for supremacy in several states in the future. If they cannot survive, they can only be considered unlucky. The rules during the war are so chaotic.
This is also true. After experiencing the crazy encirclement and suppression by the local forces, the six forces, including the former leader of the rebel army, have greatly improved both their own strength and the territory under their jurisdiction.
Six families occupied one or several counties adjacent to the border.
The combined territory is no smaller than a large state under the jurisdiction of Daqi!
Moreover, they were backed by a three-thousand-mile border and were frantically encircled and suppressed by local forces, forcing them to cooperate with the frontier lord. This allowed the so-called frontier lord Lei Hu to take advantage of them.
With the help of these six forces that secretly or directly surrendered, or had a tacit alliance, the officials in the three thousand miles border easily extended their hands into the neighboring states.
Money, food, ordnance was continuously delivered, and various talents came to support the past, making the six remaining forces not only powerful in military capacity, but also governed in a uniform frontier style.
For those who don’t know, they might think that the territory of the six forces is an extension of the border forces.
What the six forces had to pay was nothing more than millions of refugees, all of whom were paid, fed, and labored by the border officials, and transported to the border three thousand miles away in an orderly manner for proper resettlement.
In a peaceful time, such a large-scale population migration would naturally trigger a situation in which the government and the public were shocked and the whole country was concerned. If something went wrong, it could lead to the thundering wrath of the imperial court and a strong backlash from local powers.
But now it is an out-and-out war-torn situation!
There are already widespread refugees, and all war-torn states and counties can be described as people living in dire straits.
The forces that have the ambition and courage to join the local struggle for hegemony are only interested in the young and strong men among the refugees, and do not care at all about the other old, weak, women and children.
Therefore, the border officials took great advantage of the situation. With a large-scale migration of more than one million people a year, the population of the three thousand-mile border area easily exceeded 10 million and was approaching 15 million.
The old, weak, women and children that others looked down upon were valued by frontier officials as if they were treasures.
Who is Thunder Tiger, Lord of the Frontier?
After several lifetimes, Yuan Shen, who is very familiar with the management and development of local areas, can easily manage the three thousand miles of frontier areas in an orderly manner, not to mention that the required labor force does not need to be all young and strong.
As a time traveler, he is also a powerful soul, and his brain is very bright. If he can't even come up with various production and living tools to increase production efficiency, then he is really kidding.
This is the world of Xianxia, with unique rules and development models.
With Lei Hu's knowledge and methods, in addition to instructing the craftsmen collected by his subordinates to create production attacks powered by human and animal power, as well as the wind and water power of nature, there are also rune tools specially crafted based on the environment.
It's just that he didn't put all his thoughts on this. He just let his government officials and monks think about it. He only did the beginning and guidance work, and still made the development of the entire three thousand miles border not very dependent on it.
Young and strong labor.
In such war-torn times, a peaceful and peaceful place like the frontier land is really rare.
Even the imperial capital of the Daqi Dynasty was said to be extremely chaotic. Therefore, all the people who moved from war-torn areas to border areas consciously abide by the rules and systems here, which allowed the border officials to reduce management costs and at the same time reduce the cost of management.
The value organization mobilizes these newly joined old, weak, women and children to participate in labor to create value.
Needless to mention these, in short, with the continuous flow of migrant population, wars are raging in several neighboring states, while the border areas three thousand miles away are busy with large-scale production and construction, leaving many areas that could not be developed before due to lack of manpower.
Use all the barren areas.
It’s not an exaggeration. If this wasn’t a fairy world with too many unbelievably powerful beings and powers, the productivity of the three thousand miles of frontier and the military power to match would not have been possible, not to mention Daqi, which had swept across tens of thousands of miles.
Territory, easily sweep thousands of miles without any problem.
It is a pity that there is a powerful person here that even Lei Hu is afraid of and does not dare to act rashly and make a big fuss. The journey of expansion under Lei Hu's rule is destined to be impossible to be too public and wanton.
Fortunately, not long after he entered the realm of Yuanshen, he spent a lot of time cultivating quietly. While stabilizing the realm, he also felt and became familiar with the differences in the realm of Yuanshen. He also understood the clearer rules of heaven and earth. He did not have much time and energy to focus on governance.
place, and expansion territory.
As a result, the six forces that either took refuge or formed an alliance with the borderlands really took advantage of it.
The border areas continuously provide money, food and military equipment, and even the various talents who govern and maintain the place are generous in their support.
All they need to do is to deal with the encirclement and suppression of local forces in several states, and lead troops to conquer various places to slowly expand their territory.
Life like this is really comfortable, and there is no need to waste time on governing and stabilizing the local situation. This allows the heads of the six forces to concentrate on targeting local forces and expansion in several states.
Even if a large number of refugees came in disguise, the border officials behind them would take them away directly without adding any burden to them, and they could even make a fortune.
Such a 'good thing' made the top leaders of the six powerful families suspect that they were living in a dream. They had never imagined that the benefits of relying on the borderland would be so great.
Of course, it is not that no one has noticed that while using them to develop themselves, the frontier lord will also extend his tentacles into several neighboring states.
It can be said that wherever the territory of the six forces expands, the tentacles of the Border Lord will also spread.
If one day their power is seriously weakened and the military power in their hands is lost to an unbearable level and they are unable to completely control their own territory, then the territory they have worked so hard to seize may very well fall directly into the hands of the frontier lord.
However, even if they knew about this shortcoming, the top leaders of the six powers were helpless.
In addition to secretly strengthening their defenses, they could only hold their noses and admit it.
There is no way, who told them to completely accept the management system of the borderland and most of the governance models?
Even if they occupy new territory and are willing to give local powerful powers a certain amount of power and dilute the support and influence from border areas, they cannot do so.
By the time they reacted, it was already too late, and they were also accustomed to the governance and management system of the borderlands, which was not only convenient but also allowed them to mobilize their forces to the greatest extent possible.
As for the traditional model of alliance with local powerful powers, it can easily lead to a situation in which power is dispersed and all local real power is seized by local powerful powers.
Once they lose a lot of military strength, the harm caused by these local powerful forces united with them will be more direct and dangerous than the border areas.
Not only that, the traditional model of cooperation with local powerful people and the ability to mobilize manpower and material resources are also very different from the system of frontier officials. After trying it a few times, they gave up completely and could only honestly cooperate with frontier officials, otherwise the consequences would be quite disastrous.
.
This is the advantage of the system!
As long as productivity can keep up, the victory of the advanced system over the traditional system will be comprehensive.
Because of the differences in the systems they implemented, the six families that occupied large areas of territory in several border states had to be firmly tied to the border areas.
Unless one day they can perfect the talent training system and train enough usable talents, they will be tied to the borderland and cannot break away even if they want to.
"Amazing!"
At this time, it was already a powerful overlord that occupied several counties and had 200,000 troops. When the former leader of the rebel army told his confidant generals, he couldn't help but sigh: "That frontier lord didn't do anything.
Let us and the other five forces be firmly bound to the borderland. This method is really powerful!"
"Hey, a big leader doesn't need to inflate other people's ambitions and lose his own prestige!"
The confidant general sneered again and again and said unhappily: "That is why we imitate the behavior of the frontier, so we have to rely on the support of the frontier. If one day we give up this imitation, they will be helpless to us!"
The big leader laughed angrily and scolded: "To put it lightly, we are now accustomed to such a relaxed governance model. If we go back to the previous state where we have to take care of everything, and our energy is seriously dispersed and we can't manage it, what will happen to you?
I don’t have the confidence to say such nonsense..."
