"Fifty sheep could have kept a family of several people fed and clothed for several winters, but they unreasonably asked us to hand over fifty sheep! Maybe we can get them, but everyone on the entire grassland
Can they get it all? By doing this, they are driving poor families to death!"
"This time Wanyan Department asked us to hand over fifty sheep, then next time it might be a hundred, and the next time, it might be five hundred! Until no more oil or water can be squeezed out!"
"The people in the Wanyan Department are all a group of despicable thugs, cruel prairie bandits! They don't care about our life and death at all! If we don't overthrow the Wanyan Department, it's impossible for us to have a better tomorrow! It's impossible for us to get rich!"
"..."
After Xu Qing's nonsense speech, the grassland people of the Gugu Department finally made up their minds and started to resist the Wanyan Department!
In fact, what made these people decide the most was the sentence, if you hand over fifty this time, it might be a hundred next time...
How can people like them have so many sheep to keep handing over to the Wanyan Department?
If the cattle and sheep are handed over, won't they starve to death sooner or later?
If you don't rebel now, why don't you wait for the Wanyan tribe to come and take away all their cattle and sheep?
And even if the Wanyan tribe killed so many of them, they wouldn't be considered a rebel!
Following the Wanyan tribe, the Wanyan tribe would only plunder their cattle and sheep, but now Chu will also give them cattle and sheep.
It's obvious who to do it with.
After analyzing the pros and cons, they have decided to work with the Chu State to completely overthrow the Wanyan Department!
Moreover, what the whole person just said was for the sake of their grassland from beginning to end, which is obviously more reliable than Wanyanbu.
In this way, Xu Qing gained the support of the entire Shugu Department, and Xu Qing killed all the powerful people in the Shugu Department.
They only want herdsmen, not powerful people.
Is the ultimate goal of the Chu State to deceive these low-educated grassland herdsmen into becoming one of its own, retain the powerful people, and then deceive them back?
How can it be!
As long as they are from the powerful class, Xu Qing and Xiao Ye will not keep anyone.
After the Gugu tribe surrendered, they also began to migrate to areas controlled by the Chu State.
After the area controlled by the Chu State has a large population, it can continue to expand deeper into the grassland to occupy a wider area of land.
Nowadays, the Wanyan tribe is huddled in the north and is almost in a state of semi-abandonment towards the tribes in the south.
There are only a few large tribes like the Shugu tribe on the entire grassland. After adding the Shugu tribe, the Chu State's cavalry can almost compete with the grassland.
The Chu State also has an advantage over the grassland. The men of the Wanyan tribe and other grassland tribes cannot go out to form an army. Although they have always pursued the principle of grabbing and eating wherever they go, but now as an offensive
The Chu State on one side will naturally not let Wanyan tribe get what they want.
The Wanyan tribe had to allocate some men as a team to transport grain and grass, but the Chu State could form an army from all the tribes they recruited because they had a special supply camp.
It can be said that the addition of the Shugu tribe has greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Chu cavalry.
Of course, there are also flaws. The average quality of the Shugu Department's cavalry is not as good as that of the Wanyan Department. This is also a fact. They need to train more.
This must be done step by step, first leveling the gap in the number of cavalry, and then improving the gap in quality.
Xu Qing originally planned to continue to instigate rebellion against the tribes on the grassland, but now that he was recalled by the wise king's urgent order, he naturally couldn't care about anything else.
But from Xu Qing's point of view, it was good to be recalled by the wise king this time.
They have been out for more than half a month. One of the big tribes has instigated rebellion, and some of the small tribes have instigated many rebellions. If they don't go back, the Wanyan tribe will probably take action against them soon.
The Wanyan Department would not allow them to attack these tribes so unscrupulously.
And after going deep into the grassland, you can't bring too many firearms. It will be very dangerous if you stay there for a long time.
It's just the right time to retreat.
Xu Qing has recruited enough cavalry for the wise king this time, so he can't have a bad face anymore, right?
…
On the way back
Xiao Ye rode on his horse and looked at Xu Qing and asked: "Brother Xu, since you want to turn all these grassland people into Chu people, shouldn't you teach them to speak the Central Plains dialect?"
Xu Qing nodded and said: "You must be able to teach, but you cannot force the cancellation of Prairie dialect."
Xiao Ye wondered: "Why?"
Xu Qing said: "People all have a rebellious mentality, and they will more or less have the brand of their own clan in their bones. Cutting off the roots of their culture in this way is touching their bottom line. If there is a strong cohesion among these people,
If people exist, they will definitely use this as an excuse to gather people to rebel."
Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing's calm expression and said, "Seeing that Brother Xu is so calm, he must have a plan?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "We will kill all the powerful people in the grassland now. After we rule for a period of time, new powerful people will naturally appear among these people in the grassland. This cannot be stopped, but it is also us.
It can be used. Although we cannot prevent the birth of new powerful people, we can control the conditions for the birth of new powerful people."
“For example, to increase the importance of the Central Plains dialect in the hearts of the grassland people, firstly reduce the social status of the grassland people who are not bilingual in the Central Plains dialect and the Prairie dialect and limit their career choices, and secondly, to ensure that those who are not bilingual in the Central Plains dialect and the Prairie dialect
If you can’t be an official, you can’t even reach a certain level of literacy, let alone an official, you won’t be allowed to take the exam even if you have the title of Tongsheng Xiucai, so they will naturally pay attention to the Central Plains dialect, this is peaceful evolution... Wait!"
Xiao Ye was still listening to Xu Qing's words with great interest, but suddenly noticed that Xu Qing suddenly had a lot of sweat on his forehead, and his voice stopped suddenly.
Xiao Ye was surprised and said, "Brother Xu, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "It's okay... I just thought of something that made my hair stand on end, but it's all over..."
This horrifying thing happened in his previous life. A language that most people will never use in their lifetime is as important as or even more important than the native language...
It was also the subject on which he spent the most time...
As for this language, let alone his previous life, he would never be able to use it in this life!
But Xu Qing calmed down quickly. It was all a matter of his previous life. Whether there was peace or not, and whether the show evolved or not had nothing to do with him. He was still worried about it in this life!
It is better to take advantage of the fact that I am still young and establish the dominant position of the Central Plains dialect in the world a thousand years in advance.
Damn it, I almost failed the exam because of this language in my last life, but in this life I will strangle it in the cradle!
