Chapter 1643 There are only two kinds of people in this world
Bai Xiaobo and the others just want to establish a base here, and then welcome Huang Shaoqiu to lead the main force of the 50,000 seal battalion, and rely on the terrain stronghold here to attack the three counties in the south of Sichuan and Sichuan occupied by the Liang Kingdom. They do not want to fight with the remaining Wuman people in the deep mountains and dense forests.
Guerrilla warfare.
Bai Xiaobo's order was quickly transmitted to the fifty battleships. The fifty captains were ordered to divide into two teams and launch an attack on the Wuman people. However, the three counselors next to him were hesitant to speak...
Bai Xiaobo immediately guessed what the three counselors, who had just graduated from Fanyang College, were thinking, even though they had experienced battles, because the Far Eastern Army's battles in the past few years had been so smooth, they did not understand the dangers of the world.
"Do the three of you think that our Far Eastern Army is a benevolent and righteous army, and do you feel disdain for what the soldiers are going to do under the order I just gave?"
"I don't dare." The three counselors clasped their fists and bowed quickly, but one councilor gritted his teeth and said: "I just think that we only need to kill the young and strong Wuman people and capture the old, weak, women and children who resisted, but there is really no way
It is necessary... to kill the old, weak, women and children."
The three counselors who graduated from Fanyang College were indeed hesitant. They had only been in the seal camp for a year or two, and had only fought in the battle in Yangzhou. It was to punish the traitor Yuwen Zhiji and punish him.
No excessive killing.
But now Bai Xiaobo is unabashedly asking the soldiers to do things similar to what only bandits and water bandits would do. The three young councilors found it difficult to accept it for a while, feeling that this was not what a "teacher of justice" or a "teacher of civilization" should do.
things.
Bai Xiaobo has always been more patient with his classmates who graduated from Fanyang College, but he has also always been strict, so his image in the minds of several counselors is actually not very good.
But Bai Xiaobo didn't care what these counselors thought of him. At this time, he sneered: "You should know the story of Song Xianggong, right?"
"When the Spring and Autumn War was over, Song Xianggong refused to take advantage of the Chu army to cross the Hong River and attack him halfway. He said, "We are known as the troops of benevolence and righteousness, how can we attack while others are crossing the river?" Then, he allowed the Chu army to arrange their troops, and both sides
In a frontal battle, Song Xianggong was defeated and was shot in the leg by the Chu army. But he also said, I am a gentleman. I will not be seriously injured or capture two hairs. This is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness. How can I do this to take advantage of danger?
What a move?"
At this point, the sneer on Bai Xiaobo's face became even more sarcastic, and he sneered: "Did you forget what the instructor said in the military class at Fanyang College?"
The faces of the three counselors were suddenly covered with cold sweat. They prostrated together and said in unison: "At that time, we were taught that victory is the key to victory. Both sides would do whatever they could to avoid being a gentleman..."
"Since you still remember the teaching," Bai Xiaobo snorted coldly, "Do you still think that Song Xianggong or the instructor is right?"
The look of dissatisfaction on the faces of the three counselors has long since disappeared, and there is a look of shame on their faces. One of the counselors said: "Of course the teacher is right. Soldiers are crafty, taking victory as merit. As a person
Generals, you must not be unbearable..."
Bai Xiaobo solemnly said: "Nowadays, the troubled times are in power. Your Majesty has raised troops to unify the world and end the troubled times. The north has not been unified yet, and our Far East Army still needs to fight many battles. It's not that I don't want to be a gentleman and let my Far East Army be a benevolent and righteous army.
Because this is war."
"The Wuman people are different from the Han people. According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the Wuman people actually do not have an organized army. They only have warriors and warriors in the tribe. But it can also be said that the whole people are soldiers. They sent people from the Wuman people to attack our fleet.
At the beginning, the war between our two sides has already started, and when we sail the warship in front of their stronghold, to the Wubarians we are invaders, and they will not be limited to young soldiers.
Strong, those old, weak, women and children will become extremely fierce and brave. Even half-grown children will use bows, arrows, knives, and wooden sticks to resist the soldiers who secretly attack our Far East Army. If they are allowed to escape and go deep into the dense forest,
There will inevitably be endless troubles."
The three senators knelt down again, feeling ashamed to death, and said in unison: "I have learned a lesson from my humble position."
Bai Xiaobo looked at the fighting far and near with a telescope, listened to the shouts of killing and screams, and said with a smile: "Besides, I did not issue an order to kill the entire clan. As long as they put down their weapons and stop resisting, they can stay."
Their lives, after all, we still need a lot of labor to gain a foothold here, and as long as they are obedient, it won't be long before they can become common people under the rule of the prince."
One of the counselors suddenly asked: "General, can these Wu barbarians become common people of our Far Eastern Army?"
Bai Xiaobo patiently said: "Although my colleagues in the Far East Army have never respected Confucianism as the royal way, the Confucian emphasis on 'education without discrimination' is still very reasonable. This is exactly what the prince does to the people under his rule."
But the counselor was still hesitant and said: "Those Wubarians..."
The counselor pointed to the Uman tribesmen with strange tattoos on the shore who were chased by the SEAL battalion soldiers, forced to kneel down and surrender, and then tied to ropes. "General, can they also be civilized?"
Bai Xiaobo pondered for a while and said: "Since there were people who transformed the barbarians into Xia in ancient times, there were also some sages among the barbarians, Rongdi, and Di, so they should be able to be enlightened."
Another counselor hesitated for a moment and said, "General, do you mean that these barbarians can be converted into Chinese people?"
The last counselor also interjected: "Since ancient times, it is called Zhihua because of its beauty, and it is called Xia because of its great etiquette... This may be a bit difficult."
Bai Xiaobo obviously didn't want to discuss this issue in depth with the three councilors here, so he directly ordered: "You and the three councilors listen to the order. I will order you and the other three to educate the Wuman tribe, and give us one year.
, see if there can be any changes, and if it works, I will ask General Huang and even the prince for credit on behalf of the three of them."
The three people looked solemn. Although they still had some different opinions, this was a military order and they had the opportunity to make great achievements, so they immediately accepted the order with some excitement.
"You have to tell the Wuman people that we will not turn their children into slaves, nor will we exploit them like the Sui Dynasty before and the Liang Kingdom today, treating them like pigs and dogs..."
The three councilors were thoughtful, and Bai Xiaobo continued to smile: "You have to educate them so that these Uman children can understand Chinese when they grow up. In ten or twenty years, one generation or two generations will
In the end, they will become no different from us!"
Bai Xiaobo spoke very noblely, but in his heart he remembered the words of the witch chief instructor on Snake Island: "The so-called civilization is just a thin coat to cover up the blood-stained barbarism."
At that time, the Witch Chief Instructor said expressionlessly: "There are two eras in history: the era of being a slave but not being able to do so, and the era of being a slave for the time being."
Bai Xiaobo doesn't know what kind of situation he belongs to now, and he is not sure whether in the future, with the efforts of the Far Eastern Army led by the prince, this world will be sublimated into an era where adults can be human...
But he is the proud student of the Chief Witch Instructor, and his thinking is somewhat similar to Nie Xiaoyu's, very realistic and practical, so Bai Xiaobo knows that there are two types of slaves.
One is a slave who will not obey.
While Bai Xiaobo was thinking this, he looked indifferently at a Uman woman on the shore who continued to resist and tried to bite off the ear of a Far Eastern Army soldier after being pushed down.
"There is another type of slave who is obedient!" Bai Xiaobo thought to himself.

The Wuman population originally numbered 50,000 to 60,000, but they were defeated by Xiao Zhuang's Liang army. Several village tribes were directly exterminated, resulting in heavy casualties. Today, there are only more than 20,000 people left, and only 3,000 young warriors remain.
This time Liang Guo sent envoys to force them to attack a thousand-man Far Eastern Navy navy.
Of course the Wuman people don't want to go, as the war itself will result in death, not to mention the powerful and vicious reputation of Qin'an Poison King and the Far East Army, even the Wuman people have heard of it.
However, the Liang State envoy brought an order from the Liang State Emperor Xiao Zhuang: If no troops were sent, the Liang State army would arrive and directly exterminate the Wuman people.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Wuman people always wanted to send troops, thinking that two thousand people would fight a thousand people, and they were best at fighting on rivers. Even if the Far East Army was really as powerful as the legend, their own warriors would definitely be better.
There will be casualties, but it will definitely kill the Far Eastern Army.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, fifty warships followed the river and crowded the river next to their village.
The clan leader Wu Ji and the barbarian wizard Wu Gui never expected that their two thousand warriors would be defeated easily and miserably, causing only minimal casualties to the enemy, and even one thousand of their warriors would become prisoners.
Moreover, it suddenly appeared in front of their village and blocked the two branches of the river near the village!
Although the Wuman people were defeated by the Sui army and the Liang army today, that was mainly because their troops were limited. At least now that the enemy was coming, they were very brave and even started to fight for their lives.
Amidst the strange sound of horns, the remaining more than a thousand warriors rushed out of the stronghold.
Wuji, the leader of the Wuman tribe, had no time to settle the score with Wugui, the old barbarian wizard who miscalculated good or bad luck, because the huge ships of the Far Eastern Army were already pressing towards them like a mountain, driven by paddles!
Bai Xiaobo stood on the main ship and watched this spectacular scene intently, although it seemed that the outcome was already doomed.
"Everyone who knows the enemy before he knows it will fight against it. You are right. In this battle, we have intelligence from the Military Intelligence Agency and intelligence from previous prisoners. We know ourselves and the enemy, so we fight..."
Bai Xiaobo looked at the nearly a thousand organized Wuman warriors who had panicked under the rapid attack of the Far Eastern Army. They broke out like a frying pan and rushed into the Dazhai. The soldiers of the Far Eastern Army followed suit and easily rushed into the Dazhai.
In the village, he laughed and said: "It's as easy as catching a turtle's ear in an urn!"

This battle lasted for half a day, and most of the remaining young men of the Wuman people were killed or wounded. The rest were all captured by the Far Eastern Army. Finally, they were tied with vines and lined up in a long queue, and they all gathered on the flat ground in the middle of the village.
Bai Xiaobo spent a few days to initially control the Wuman tribe by means of differentiation, appeasement, coercion and inducement. After allowing the surviving Wuman tribesmen to temporarily feel at ease and work as coolies, he immediately sent someone to report to Huang Shaoqiu.
Their original plan was to go to the Baiman tribe who had already had contact with the Far East Army, but Bai Xiaobo temporarily changed his mind. This was mainly because the location of the Baiman tribe who fled to the deep mountains and dense forests was too remote compared to where the Wuman tribe was.
Some.
Next, as long as their seal battalion of 50,000 people can withstand the siege that is coming soon from the Liang Kingdom, they will use the Wuman tribe as a base to gradually capture the three counties in the south of Sichuan and Sichuan. In the later period, the Far East Army will fully attack the Liang Kingdom.
