Once someone takes the lead, others will naturally follow suit and join in. Each one clenched their fists and raised their hands, vowing to defeat Wanyanbu.
To rebel is to die, not to rebel is to die, either way it is death.
And I heard that dying from starvation is much more painful than being stabbed.
Xu Qing looked at the tribe and saw that there were almost 150 young adults and middle-aged men.
As a nomadic nation that can mobilize all its people, these 150 people are 150 experienced horsemen. With a little training, they can become excellent cavalrymen.
It's a pity that they don't have horses to ride now, so they can't show off their former style. But it doesn't matter, horses are already prepared in Chu's camp, waiting for them to pass.
Xiao Ye was dumbfounded when he saw Xu Qing recruiting troops so quickly.
Is it true that Chu State has added 150 cavalrymen so quickly?
It took them less than half an hour from entering the tribe to now!
It's simply too scary to go on at this speed!
Although these people, even after training, are not as elite as the Wanyan Department, if they are commanded properly, they can cause serious damage to the Wanyan Department!
Xu Qing looked at the people who wanted to join the conquest of the Wanyan tribe and continued to speak: "Of course, although only by defeating the Wanyan tribe can we graze safely on this grassland, we cannot attack the stone with an egg. We must strengthen ourselves."
Chaolu asked: "How to grow stronger?"
Xu Qing said: "I am from the Chu State. The Chu State heard that the Wanyan tribe was ruthless and cruel to the people. They issued a revolt against the Wanyan tribe and went into the grassland to conquer the Wanyan tribe. The Chu State has already killed the lackeys of the Wanyan tribe in more than ten tribes.
They were all beheaded in public and given shelter. Now the tribe must move to the protection of the Chu army to survive for a long time. Moreover, the Chu army will distribute war horses and weapons to you, and work with you to defeat the Wanyan tribe!"
"Of course, the Wanyan tribe now does not dare to confront our Chu army head-on, and has chosen to retreat temporarily. However, our Chu country's cavalry is insufficient, and the firearms advance is too slow, so we have united everyone and joined us to defeat the Wanyan tribe.
Because overthrowing the Wanyan tribe is not just a matter for Chu State, but also the mission of all oppressed herdsmen across the grassland. We hate war, but only in this way can we pursue a better tomorrow."
Xu Qing's words immediately triggered a response from all the herdsmen surrounding the clearing.
Many herdsmen have heard that although the Chu State also kills people on the grasslands, they kill only the powerful people who had oppressed them. The Chu State will protect the herdsmen who are devoted to herding very well, and will also provide and sell fine salt, etc.
things.
The most important thing is that the taxes are very reasonable, completely different from the Wanyan Department who imposes arbitrary taxes!
Chu State is the true teacher of benevolence and righteousness!
After dealing with the affairs of the entire small tribe, everyone dispersed and prepared to move to camp. Xu Qing, who returned to the leader's tent, finally couldn't bear it anymore and supported the gatekeeper and vomited out today's lunch.
Xiao Ye quickly patted Xu Qing's back and said in panic: "Brother Xu, what's wrong with you? Are you injured?"
Xu Qing waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay. It's the first time I've seen a beheaded person at close range. I'm a little uncomfortable with it. It's a normal reaction. I'll be fine if I do it a few times in the future."
Isn't that right? Xiao Ye explained that he cut off Aladan's head completely with one stroke of the knife, and the blood spurted out from the carotid artery.
Where has Xu Qing seen such a scene?
In the past, even if a few robbers were killed, they would either use a firecracker or stab the heart directly. This was the first time that Xu Qing encountered a close-up scene where the whole head was chopped off and the corpses were separated.
It's normal to not get used to it.
Next, Xu Qing followed the same pattern and went to one small tribe after another, persuading one small tribe after another. These small tribes that were persuaded would turn into propaganda materials one after another, promoting the benevolence and righteousness of the Chu State, and angrily denounced the Wanyan tribe's shamelessness.
road.
After experiencing so many small tribes, Xu Qing is finally used to it...
In fact, it is not difficult to persuade these small tribes. Once the leader kills you, you will become their backbone and they will climb up by stepping on the corpse of the previous generation.
The only thing that makes Xu Qing and Xiao Ye dissatisfied is that the distance between these tribes is too far. It is not a problem to capture a small tribe in half an hour, but it takes a long time to walk.
Time spent in vain.
Xu Qing spent several days lobbying more than a dozen small tribes.
And in these ten days, Xu Qing also understood that it was really inappropriate to just copy what was already done.
Different places have different usages due to different national conditions.
Just like the grassland, there is no danger to defend this place. After you win over people and then take away their young and middle-aged people, is it appropriate to leave a bunch of women and children in the same place?
Totally inappropriate!
So Xu Qing moved them to the area controlled by Chu State.
Fortunately, it is summer now, and the rainy season of the grasslands is approaching. There is enough rain and grass is abundant. Even if all the cattle and sheep of these small tribes move to the areas controlled by the Chu State, there will be enough space to raise them.
These recruited young adults and more powerful middle-aged men were also sent to the grassland areas controlled by the Chu State.
They also need to receive training to become qualified cavalry.
Xu Qing originally wanted to learn how to encircle the city from the countryside, at least create a small tribe to surround the big tribe and gradually encroach on it.
However, Xu Qing feels that it is completely unnecessary after the development. Without innovation suitable for the current national conditions, blindly copying and copying will inevitably fail. This has been verified by history.
They are not like the poor martyrs who had nothing and basically started from scratch.
Now they have the backing of the most powerful country in the Central Plains, and their army has occupied a large area of vast land.
There is no shortage of money, weapons, or horses in a short period of time.
What Chu State needs is not small tribes surrounding large tribes, nor is it a persimmon that needs to be picked off.
Chu State just needs a decisive battle with Wanyan tribe!
As long as a sufficient number of cavalry is recruited for the Chu State and enough popular support is obtained, it will be enough.
The tribes on the grassland have no city walls and passes to defend. They are spread out over a large area on the grassland. How can they surround it with a hammer?
Totally unnecessary!
We only need to remember one core point, which is to mobilize the masses broadly.
As for how to launch and how to achieve your strategic goals after launching, different national conditions have different methods.
Some mobilized workers to riot in central cities.
Some mobilized farmers and surrounded the cities from the countryside.
And Xu Qing now feels that he has created a third method.
It is neither a riot in a central city nor a rural siege of a city.
There is a question of naming this third method
As for Xu Qing, he was fine as a copywriter, but in fact his own cultural level was just that, and he didn't know what to call this third method.
He decided to ask a great scholar to think of a good name for this third method another day.
