Chapter 183: The Martial King Conquers the Alien Tribe
"I'm a good girl, this Wen Taishi has been very fierce recently, first like this, and then like that, it's really amazing." Ji Fa said in admiration.
Ji Fa couldn't help but think, in this way, the prestige of the Shang Kingdom far surpassed that of my Great Zhou Kingdom among the vassal states, and in the eyes of the people of the Dongyi foreign tribes, at this moment, the Shang Kingdom Wen Zhong Taishi is a god.
If you don't think of a way to increase the prestige of Zhou at this moment, you will be compared to the people of Shang State, and in this way, the influence of Zhou State will be weakened, but in this situation, Zhou State needs to find another way to solve the problem. This is because the Dongyi alien race can only appear on the east side of the Shang Kingdom, and the Dongyi people are greedy, and it is not enough to rely on virtue alone, they must use force to subdue them, defeat them, and severely hit their self-confidence, so that the great cause can be accomplished.
If you want to conquer the territory of the Dongyi, you must defeat them, not only their soldiers, but also their people, not only to make their soldiers submit, but most importantly to make their people submit, so that the goal can be achieved.
"It's a pity that there is no alien tribe like Dongyi in the vicinity of the Zhou Kingdom, otherwise things will be simpler, if you can succumb by force alone, there won't be so much trouble." Ji Fa sighed.
I have to say that the territory of the Zhou State is good, so it can be developed for so many years, it can be said that it occupies the best geographical advantage, but it is a pity that the king of Zhou does not know how to operate, so it caused this result, God is fair, so many people, if you do not operate it yourself, then God will be handed over to another person to operate, from this point of view, it is indeed fairer.
It's a pity, it's a pity, my Zhou country doesn't have such an opportunity, otherwise I would be able to exert my fists, so that these princes and small countries, or foreign tribes, can feel the majesty of my Great Zhou, at this time, there is no event, compared to this, but unfortunately this is something that can be encountered but not sought.
Ji Fa not only sighed, it would be nice if there was one, as long as there was one, it would be dealt with just right, and there would be no other things, after it was solved, it would be possible to receive benefits and avoid disadvantages.
"Report to the king, the alien tribes on the southern border of my Great Zhou have some abnormal movements." Wen Chen came in at this time to report.
"Hey, hey, hey, just after that, it's time to get to the matter, it's really providence." Ji Fa couldn't help but feel that there was a providence in the dark.
"In that case, it seems that we must find a way to deal with these alien races." Ji Fa said directly.
Then Ji Fa immediately summoned Taigongwang and Zhou Gong, so he discussed with them what should be done.
Taigongwang said directly: "This matter is relatively easy, Weichen sent one person to carry out Wang Hua Dehua, and the king, you will select another general to subdue by force, so that you can subdue the foreign tribes." ”
"That's a good idea, so let's do it." Ji Fa said.
"Looks like it's the best way to go." Ji Fa was firm in his heart about this goal.
Therefore, Ji Fa decided to personally lead the army and surrender by force, so that he could combine policies with the Wenchen sent by Taigongwang, so that he could combine grace and power, rigidity and softness, and if he acted in this way, there would be no deviation.
"Assemble the troops."
Ji Fa's royal order, after it was issued, quickly gathered the soldiers of the Zhou State, at this time, the Zhou soldiers, has been equipped, the newly created armament, the Zhou soldiers at this moment are the elite soldiers selected by Ji Fa, he led these elite soldiers, soon left Xiqi City, led the soldiers to the southern border of the Zhou State, so after a few days of rapid marching, Ji Fa ordered the troops to rest and rectify for a day.
So Ji Fa sent a fine work to investigate, and soon the situation of the alien tribes, the investigation was clear, it turned out that in each alien tribe, there are always some unstable and restless people, at this moment it was they who instigated and provoked, wanting to rebel against the Zhou State, so as to stand on their own, so as to become the princes of one side, but they are not qualified at all, without the recognition of the great powers, especially the recognition of the Zhou State, they are self-established as princes, and the Zhou State has the right to destroy them, anyway, they can only be foreign races.
So after finding out clearly, Ji Fa directly and decisively led his troops to the battle, surrounded these alien tribes, and surrounded these alien tribes, and then Ji Fa was not in a hurry to attack them, but found a way to cut off their waterways, and blocked all their communications, and the siege was so tight that no one could leave.
Then Ji Fa cut off all contact with the foreign soldiers, not only the water in the encirclement, but also in commerce, and then Ji Fa managed to harvest all the grain in their vicinity, so that the outside and the foreign soldiers were completely cut off, so that the foreign soldiers were isolated.
"Since ancient times, five sieges have been attacked, and ten sieges have been besieged, hehehehe, for now, let's slowly besiege it." Ji Fa said with a wicked smile.
So Ji Fa ordered the nearby city to transport supplies over, and then replenish them to the army, and then Ji Fa ordered the whole army to cook, except for the soldiers on guard, the soldiers were basically cooking on fire, so the fragrance of the food continued to waft to the besieged alien tribes, those people of the alien tribes, where can their food be compared with the soldiers of the Zhou State, the food made by the soldiers of the Zhou State quickly made their saliva water.
At the beginning, there was nothing, and the forbearance was over, and when the alien soldiers first found themselves besieged, they also wanted to concentrate their forces to fight out, but after a few temptations, they gave up this idea, because there were too many Zhou soldiers, and there were many besieged ordnance, and for a while, these alien tribesmen, although they had some simple weapons, but there was no way to besiege the ordnance.
These people from other tribes retreated one after another, intending to look for opportunities again after they returned.
Soon the people of the alien tribe couldn't stay because if it went on like this, they would be besieged and killed, so they sent people to surrender, but Ji Fa was not stupid, he could see that the people of the alien tribe surrendered reluctantly, it was useless, what if they rebelled again after they led their troops away, what should they do?
So Ji Fa opened his mouth and didn't admit it, so he sent them back, or continued to besiege, the same as before, it was still delicious and delicious, let the soldiers eat to their heart's content, and began to practice every day, so that the soldiers' lives have been beautiful.
The people of the foreign tribe were helpless, they saw that they couldn't deceive Ji Fa, and they shouldn't have spoken more for a while, they were afraid that something would go wrong, so they retreated into the tribe, for fear of making other mistakes.
They are going to think of other solutions, the same strategy can no longer be used, and they must find a way to solve it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be over.
"Brothers are besieged and die, it is better to fight out, as long as the besieged enemy is defeated, we will have food."
So the people of the alien tribe gathered the soldiers of their own tribe and began the siege towards one point, but they were already exhausted and exhausted, while the Zhou soldiers were different, resting and eating and drinking, and practicing for a few days, so they were very energetic, so it was really easy to defeat the people of the alien tribe with ease and hard work, and the final result was that the soldiers of the alien tribe were defeated without much effort, if it were not for Ji Fa's order to continue the siege, I'm afraid that the Zhou soldiers will directly hit the lair of the alien tribe, in that case, they will completely defeat the alien tribe, if they are wiped out, they will not survive, so they still can't let the soldiers out, so it will lose its effect.
"Slowly besiege it, you will soon be able to see the effect, and they will soon be unable to support it."
"It is still the main thing to convince the hearts of the people, so that the southern frontier can be kept forever." Ji Fa thought to himself.
In the end, under the deterrence of the Wenchen sent by Taigongwang and Wang Hua Defu and the military force led by Ji Fa himself, these alien tribes on the southern border finally stopped the riots and directly sent people to pay tribute to Ji Fa, so that the alien tribes were stable.
"In this way, these vassal states will be subdued." Ji Fa sighed that it was not easy.
Since ancient times, the subjugation of these vassal states has been done in this way, because by force alone, these people are immature and will not obey in their hearts at all, and if it is purely by virtue, it is impossible to do this by force, so there is no way to obey by virtue.
"Therefore, only by force and virtue can be combined with each other to subdue these vassal states, and in this way, the desired goal can be achieved, and in this way, it would be very good, but unfortunately many people do not understand this truth."
Ji Fa smiled, he suddenly remembered something, maybe now the Shang State can rely on force to make those foreign tribes submit, and the people can surrender, but if they don't cultivate virtue, after a long time, these people's hearts will be uncomfortable, and after a long time, they will rebel, so the Shang State just doesn't understand this truth, and finally perished.
Blindly expropriating the people and deterring the people by force, what you get in the end is the same confrontation of the people, you coerce me to make you obey, so you must get retribution, so the reason why Zhou can win the world in the future is because after doing a good job of cultivating virtue, after cultivating virtue, you can be unimpeded, and you will be unstoppable along the way, so you can finally achieve great things.
It can be said that the Zhou State was able to achieve great causes, not only to occupy the right time, place and people, but also to prepare the people's hearts and minds quite well, which is why, the reason why the Zhou State was able to become the lord of the world, not only defeated the Shang State, but also made the eight hundred vassal states submit, and implemented benevolent government, many foreign tribes, are willing to submit to the Zhou State, in the end, the Zhou State not only won the vast majority of the territory, and defeated the Shang State, and the territory won was larger than the previous Shang State, and it was far more than the era of the Xia State.
The so-called number of artifact replacement days has changed, so the future Zhou Kingdom will definitely achieve great things, and Ji Fa is waiting for this day to come.
Hey, maybe many kings don't understand this truth, in that case, there are very few virtuous people, and only Ji Fa is alone.
"Okay, don't think about these, let's do some practical things, in the end, the domestic power is the ultimate key, and those vassal states or something, in the end, can only be auxiliary, in this case, it is more important to be domestic."
