Chapter 220: The Indomitable Nation 2
The Linhu people on the grassland did not die, and in a leeward place in Yinshan, Bendu saw the tribe he left behind. The tribes here are not completely nomadic, they are the real Linhu people, who are mainly nomadic and hunter-hunting. The tall mountains shelter them from the cold winds from the north in winter, and the huge forests provide them with birds and animals, and the wild fruits in the mountains provide them with most of their food, and here is the root of Pontus.
Seeing Da Shan Yu who was marching out violently, standing alone outside the village, Qu Shuai, who stayed behind, came out to greet him crying.
"We already know what happened to Da Shan Yu from the mouths of those who fled back, and we thought that Da Shan Yu would not come back. But Changshengtian is pitiful, Da Danyu is back, and our Linhu people have hope. β
When he heard that there were people who had fled, he was overjoyed, and as long as there were those who had fled, there was hope.
pulled up Qu Shuai, who was crying: "Tell me quickly, how many people have escaped back?" β
This Qu Shuai replied bitterly: "With the fire in the south, the herdsmen who followed behind rode the spare war horses prepared for the army, and immediately turned around and ran, running for three days and three nightsββ"
"Don't be verbose, tell me quickly, how many have you run back?" Bendu shook this long-winded Qu Shuai.
"As of this morning, a total of one hundred and one hundred thousand and five have escaped, no, counting Da Danyu, zero seven." Then seeing that there was no more human figure on the horizon, this Qu Shuai collapsed to the ground and cried: "700,000 people went out, but only 100,000 people came back, Da Dan Yu, Lin Hu, it's over." β
Hearing this number, seeing Qu Shuai who was slumped and crying, Ben Du took out the child with great spirit who was fed with his own blood from his arms, lifted him high above his head, and laughed at all the Linhu people who came around. Holding the child high, Bendu announced loudly: "Lin Hu is not finished, we still have hundreds of thousands of people, we still have children, we still have hope." β
With the ecstatic announcement of Pontus, the dead eyes of all the Linhu people once again flashed with hope. The child who was held high also cooperated with the shout of Pontus, and let out a loud cry, which shook the heavens and the earth, and firmly soaked out a bubble of urine, and transformed into a bright rainbow in the bright sunlight.
Seeing this scene and seeing this rainbow, Qin Liang immediately knelt down and shouted: "The Son of Heaven has comeβ"
With his wild shout, all the Lin Hu people were stunned for a moment, and then knelt down together in front of the child who could make a rainbow, bowed and worshiped together, and cheered wildly together: "The son of heaven has descended on Lin Hu, Lin Hu has been saved-"
In the warm tent, Bento lovingly cut a hole in his arm, dripped his own blood into a cup of milk tea, and fed it to the child.
The boy was accustomed to the taste of Pontus, and without food from his blood, he was determined not to eat or drink. And the children who were fed with the blood of Pontus grew exceptionally strong. On that day, he was lifted up in the cold wind and placed on other children, and he died eight hundred times. But he didn't die, and he didn't even cough, which made the Lin Hu people even more convinced that this was a god sent by the Immortal Heaven. And every day in Japan cut itself and fed this child with blood, which was believed by all the Linhu people to be Da Shan Yu using blood to worship this god to bless Linhu. Da Dan Yu is the worshipper of the gods and the servants of the gods appointed by the Immortal Heaven.
This made the remaining Linhu people, who had almost been wiped out by this race, full of hope for the future. Nuancai Literature Network
What made Pontus and Qin Liang even more hopeful was that in the end, everyone conducted a census, and in Mobei, there were still 350,000 Linhu tribes, and the 100,000 who fled back were all young and strong. Also, how can old women escape from the fire?
"With these 350,000 people, as long as we are given five years, we can build another 100,000 iron cavalry, continue to fight in the south, and continue to serve Daqin, so I need the help of my husband." After Bendu heard Qin Liang's crazy words in the sea of fire, he was ready to honestly be a pawn of Da Qin, so he went south to his brother and honestly became Zhao Xing's pawn, so as to restore and strengthen his clan.
As for this honesty, whether it is really honest or fake, it is up to me.
Qin Liang nodded in agreement with Bendu's request: "According to the current population number, in the face of the current output, we. "Qin Liang is no longer yours and yours, but us: "We need at least 100,000 more grains of food every month to satisfy our people from starving to death, and so that women can conceive children and continue to reproduce." β
"And this number must be insisted on until the beginning of the spring after the sheep have multiplied." Bendu emphasized.
Qin Liang nodded: "In this way, it will take four months, a total of 400,000 hus of grain, and from the Guanzhong granary of Great Qin to transport grain here, one hull of grain, at least six hui of grain freight, then it is 2.4 million hu." And the salt, weapons, and many other necessities we need also need to be transported. In other words, let's stay up until the spring, and then equip an army of 100,000 people, at least 5 million Hu of food. β
Five million, Qin Liang's heart is dripping blood, that will drain the blood of Great Qin, and after decades of hard work, it will be exhausted in one day.
"I still need at least 50,000 women." Bendu opened his mouth and made conditions.
This condition is very harsh, but Qin Liang is willing to accept and implement it, because he is the same as Zhao Xing thought at the beginning, let this Lin Hu become the nephew of Great Qin, then within twenty years, let this Lin Hu become the real subject of his Great Qin.
"Although this condition is cruel to the women of the Qin people, I must promote it for us Lin Hu, even if it is to collect the women of the entire Great Qin." Qin Liang assured.
Bendu nodded silently, he knew that his suggestion was to quench his thirst by drinking water for Lin Hu, but now the 100,000 young men who fled back must start a family and have children, only in this way can Lin Hu grow.
Let's wait until the first children are born, and by that time, with the children born to our own women, it is estimated that there will be more than 100,000 or 200,000 babies. In that way, in less than twenty years, Lin Hu will still be a million warriors, and at that time, whoever surrenders to whom will be said separately. Because, the child in front of him, this god of Linhu, is a pure-blooded Linhu person, who grew up drinking his own blood.
Qin Liang's report was in the hands of King Qin Hui, he didn't discuss it with anyone, he gave an order in a steady and firm tone: "According to the requirements of Doctor Qin Liang, it is better to empty all the granaries of the Qin State, and it is better to let the Qin State have no women, and it must also be satisfied, and it will be implemented now." β
Then he waved his big hand and pointed to the southwest: "Now, according to the suggestion of Keqing Han Yi, send an army of 100,000 to annex Bashu in the south and seize the granary of Bashu." β
