Even if the morale of Ji Zao soldiers increases when the casualties increase, compared to the mortal Anchovy soldiers, Ji Zao Yi soldiers are much braver.
This can also be regarded as the special attribute of Ji Zaoyi soldiers. Just like Danyang elite soldiers, even if they have little daily training and combat experience, they are still very brave and unlike ordinary recruits.
Moreover, the individual strength of Ji Zao Yi soldiers is obviously stronger than that of ordinary Yi soldiers - equivalent to a skilled Yi soldier with peak physical strength and experience.
When facing ordinary tribes, even the barbarian soldiers who looked "shoddy" to Gan Ning could win every battle.
Before encountering the Yellow Tribe, Gan Ning only brought more than a thousand six-war navy behind to suppress the formation, and several tribes had already surrendered to the Kaihua Tribe. The way of surrender... was still so familiar.
Gan Ning's brocade robe obviously did not 100% make the girl he offered to become a city princess, but it required the right time, location, and people. For these surrendered tribes, Gan Ning merged them into the Civilization Department.
It is difficult for fishing and hunting tribes to form too large a tribe because "supporting" a tribesman through fishing and hunting requires much more land and resources than farming. If too many people gather, they will need more territory, or in other words, a large area of gathering area.
So big that they must live separately!
But now Gan Ning wants to transform the Dongbo people into a farming society, so that it will be easier to manage and help them become civilized. This is also Bai Tu's will.
Due to the rapid expansion, the Kaikai Ministry soon came into contact with the overlord of the West Coast, the Yellow Tribe, and the Yellow Tribe was also wary of the Kaikai Ministry, which was rapidly expanding, suspected of possessing Yi Ji, and even changed its name.
Originally, the Yellow Tribe was obviously stronger. Although it continued to annex small tribes, the Kaihua Ministry had more manpower and trained more Ji Zaoyi soldiers, but the size of the Yellow Tribe was here, and there were more
The beast-faced warrior is obviously stronger in terms of force alone.
What's more, Kaihua Ji doesn't have the ability to "scream and inspire" like Yi Ji, so she can't directly help the battle. This also further increases the strength of the two sides.
If Gan Ning had not stepped up the battle, the Ministry of Civilization would have had the opportunity to shrink first and use Ji Zao Yi soldiers to protect itself. The people would farm to obtain more food and raise a larger population than gathering... After one or two generations,
Even if Akibe is determined to eliminate him, he will easily be crushed to death by the Kaibu. After three or five generations, as the demand for land increases due to population expansion, the Kaibu will be able to take the initiative to crush Yakibe!
And now...
For the Ministry of Civilization in the period of agricultural transformation, there is no need to start a war. After all, farming civilization... the land they grab is used to plant their own crops, and the land currently occupied by the Ministry of Civilization is actually quite abundant!
Then why take the initiative to fight?
Just because Gan Ning is there to support the troops, the Ministry of Civilization can safely and boldly expand...
It doesn't matter if he can't defeat the Yellow Tribe, Gan Ning can lead a charge with his men and defeat the Yellow Tribe soldiers several times his own!
As a large tribe with Yi Ji, the method of surrender is somewhat different from that of ordinary tribes. The person who replaces the "girl" is Yi Ji herself - and only when Yi Ji decides to surrender, such a large tribe will surrender.
.
The surrender of a large tribe is not essentially a sacrifice of food and women, but... the whole being "enslaved".
Normally, the victor would directly "claim" Yi Ji at this time, and after taking control of Yi Ji, the corresponding Dongyu tribe would naturally be merged into the victor.
Afterwards, warriors and warriors may be able to join normally, but other old people and women will be no different from slaves.
What is different from other surrendering girls is that Yi Ji is only dressed in cool clothes instead of being naked...
And what is different from the general situation is that the person who stepped forward to accept Yi Ji's surrender at this time was not someone from the Ministry of Kaihua, nor Gan Ning, but... Kaihua Ji herself!
I saw Kaihua Ji walking up to Yi Yi Ji, and then... she took off the mask on her face, revealing a face that was contrary to the mask, not that ferocious.
Then a large number of ordinary warriors of the Yellow Tribe lost the fighting power originally blessed by Yi Ji.
At first, the Yabube thought that the Kaihuabu wanted to kill them all, or enslave them completely, so they made a loud noise, but... then Kaihuaji and the envoy from the Kaihuabu came forward to talk to the leader of the Yabube, and dispelled the idea.
their doubts!
It's not that the Kaihua Ministry has "cancelled" their power blessed by Yi Ji, but that from now on, the Yellow Tribe will also be merged into the Kaihua Ministry. Like them, the military and civilians will be divided, and all the people will no longer be soldiers.
In fact, after an ordinary young man is inspired to become an anchovy warrior, his appetite will increase, which is much larger than the normal appetite of warriors due to training. After this is cancelled, the pressure on food will also be reduced.
And after Kaihua Ji took off Yu Ji's mask, the latter's abilities also began to get closer to Cheng Ji...
In addition to Yu Ji, Gan Ning also led the Kaihua Department all the way eastward in more than three months, annexing the Yu Department in the western plains, and relying on the advantage of sea ships, he went directly around to the east coast and annexed
Got the owl!
The area of Yizhou is only a larger county. The reason why it took three months is because the Dongbo people have no idea of building roads. The roads are all "walked", so the march is relatively slow.
Going to the east coast was thanks to Gan Ning's ship.
Otherwise, for a county with a complete official system, three months is enough for Gan Ning to slip around...
But now, after three large tribes were wiped out in three months and they occupied the entire central part of Yizhou, Gan Ning did not act rashly in the face of the hills in the north and the mountains in the south.
In terms of fighting with real swords and guns, Gan Ning's army with strong armor and sharp blades is worthy of any Dongchu tribe. Facing this tribe with stone weapons that have not been eliminated, there is no challenge at all. No matter how many times the number of people is, it will be useless...
…
Gan Ning was even a little worried that after he got used to fighting these guys, he would not even fight a war when he returned to the Central Plains!
However, in complex terrain such as high mountains, miasma poisonous insects, sneak attacks and poisons... just dealing with nature will cause losses to Gan Ning's side.
Moreover, after successively annexing nearly 50,000 Dongbu natives, the relief food brought by Gan Ning was already running low, so he chose to come back first.
As long as you are familiar with this sea route, it is actually not that far away. Even counting from Wu Jun to the sea, three months is enough for a round trip, and there is even room for further compression.
Counting the Yi Ji of the Owl Tribe, the Yi Ji of the Hue Tribe, and the Kaihua Ji in Yizhou, there were a total of three subordinate Yi Ji. Gan Ning used his authority as the Grand Governor to first establish Yizhou as the Dongyi Governor's Department to promote Kaihua.
Ji is Governor Ji, and the three Yi Ji who show signs of sinicization are governor Ji under Governor Ji.
In fact, they correspond to the "State Governor's Department", Zhouji and Junji. However, compared with a state, the area of Yizhou is much smaller, not to mention that the population is only at the county level...
Moreover, even if Gan Ning was the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, he did not have the power to set up a state governor-general's department. At the same time, if a county were to be established, it would be too distant and inconvenient to manage if it were merged into the Yangzhou department, so he set up a governor-general's department by coincidence.
Compared with the "Capital Protectorate", the "Governor-General's Office" has greater authority. It directly governs the area, not just "supervises".
But this time Gan Ning brought back only Yi Ji, whom he named "Kai Hua Ji". He wanted her to meet Bai Tu first, and also to "network" with other Cheng Ji in the General's Mansion.
Yizhou is also building its first city. When "Kaihua Ji" returns, she will have her own city. Then we can see if she can become a real Cheng Ji.
As for the remaining three...because they are all nominally subordinates of Kaihua Ji, after Kaihua Ji "connects to the Internet", they should also be able to "use the Internet".
Of course, even if the Internet is connected, it is only convenient for internal private chats between "Cheng Ji". If you really want to transmit information and intelligence, across the sea... you can imagine how slow the "signal" is!
But even so, Gan Ning's harvest in the past six months has far exceeded Bai Tu's expectations.
Mainly because of the appearance of Kaihua Ji, Gan Ning's efficiency in Kaihua people has been greatly improved, which Bai Tu never dared to think of before.
It can be said that if Kaihua Ji had not appeared, Gan Ning would probably have only used force to frighten the west coast, gradually explored the island, and always beware of the frightened Dongbo people rebelling...
Bai Tu also supported Gan Ning's establishment of the Governor-General of Yizhou. Later, he would follow Gan Ning's idea and appoint the Governor of Yizhou from the General's Office.
As for the choice of governor, Bai Tu really has a headache.
The person who serves as the governor must be able to act independently!
Gan Ning is more than enough to be the governor, but... for the sake of Yizhou, Gan Ning is slowed down? Thinking about it is a loss...
After that, Gan Ning would protect the governor of Yizhou for one more voyage at most, and then he would start a new journey - the "Yangzhou-Liaodong" waterway!
Not to mention that there will be Danzhou in the direction of sunrise, Nanyang Islands to the southwest of Yizhou, and... the legendary Golden State where sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn can be obtained.
Gan Ning was limited and the navy's mission was unlimited. How could it be possible to keep Gan Ning in Yizhou?
Similarly, Lu Su and other important staff should not be lazy, and Lu Kang, Zhang Zhao... with today's medical and navigation conditions, those over forty years old should not bother!
And...there is also the issue of "selfishness" to consider.
Bai Tu is not too afraid that the Governor of Yizhou will rise up to separatist power. Judging from the current development route, the warships and sea-ship technology of the General's Mansion will only become more and more powerful.
What's more, under agricultural civilization, the island can be divided because it can be self-sufficient, but... Bai Tu is now promoting the development of industrial civilization. No matter how far it can be pushed, Yizhou will be positioned as a shipyard and relay station in the future!
A small farming island can be self-sufficient, but a first-class shipyard and relay station require "imported" supplies, and there is no basis for separatist rule.
The "selfishness" that Bai Tu was worried about was that the governor's policy towards the natives would go astray. After all, there had been previous examples of the Oriental aborigines doing business in Kuaiji but becoming slaves.
In the name of the "Hua-Yi Debate" and in reality "the interests of the powerful right", after the true situation in Yizhou spreads, I am afraid that some people will be impatient to use it as a hunting place...
