Come on.

Any country can meet two conditions:

First, there are a lot of benefits to be gained from war; Second, it can win the war. Then when she encounters intractable problems, she will become more and more inclined to seek solutions by force, and thus become a belligerent nation.

This is what the current Chinese Empire looks like.

Since the Xu family began to rise in fifteen dock forts in the countryside of Qingzhou, until the destruction of the Jurchens and the current situation of Jiangbei, Huaxia and her predecessors have been invincible without war.

With each victory, Huaxia gained many benefits, not only for the land, but also for the money, cloth, population, and other materials captured.

From the development of the Wubao Lord Alliance to the Jiedu Envoy to the Qi State and the Empire, these trophies allowed Huaxia to successfully pass many economic bottlenecks in the development process.

This time there is not much difference, Xu Shiyang needs to solve the threat of the party's pseudo-Xia to Shaanxi Province, so that Shaanxi Province can obtain a safe environment.

Huaxia needed to acquire the population of the Pseudo-Xia, including the Dangxiang, Qiang, and Tubo, as well as the Han people living in the Pseudo-Xia.

The rich pastures of the Lingxia generation and the fertile Hetao area were also needed, and the horses, camels, mules and other large livestock of the Dangxiang people were also valuable trophies.

Finally, there is a passage to the Western Regions, if it can be opened, China's industrial products can obtain a broader market.

The war against Fuso was similar, as Fuso's huge human resources and gold, silver, copper, precious metals, and sulfur deposits were inseparable treasures for China, and if the war went well, it might be possible to obtain rice supplements in Fuso.

At this stage of China, if these things can be obtained by force, the imperial government will naturally not be stingy in using force.

……

In 1792, north of the Molong River, in a small tribe that had taken refuge in the Chinese mixed with the hundred households of Sauron, the tribal chief was sitting cross-legged on a wooden bed covered with sofa cushions, holding a meat knife in his hand, squinting and not knowing what he was thinking.

This is the tent of the tribal chief, and unlike the traditional pinch of birch bark in the past, the tribal chief's tent is a finished product produced by the Quancheng Textile Factory.

This tent is very large, with an internal space of 50 square meters, and the tent surface is also very thick, and it is made of tweed cloth woven from fine wool.

Not to mention anything else, the materials for this tent alone are the most beautiful daughter of the tribal chief in the tribe of the Saurons.

Probably more than that.

This tent, which was too ornate in the eyes of the Sauronians, together with the utensils in the tent: a large iron pot, a wooden bed with sofa cushions, a long wooden table and chairs, were all things that the emperor of the Chinese Empire gave back to the emperor of the Chinese Empire at the end of last year when the tribal chief took the first year's tribute after taking refuge in Huaxia.

In the tribal chief's tent, his mother-in-law and daughter were squatting on the edge of a fire, constantly adding wood to the fire, and on top of this large iron pot, where half a sheep lived, bubbling and steaming, and the mutton and wild onions could be seen boiling with the boiling water.

The aroma of the food, the heat of the fire and the thick tent combined, as if it was not so cold when it was still snowing outside.

On either side of the tent sat ten other bald men, each with a bruised face, and the occasional look up revealed a chilling gloom in their eyes.

As a medium-sized Sauron tribe with 120 households, the tribal chief set up a chief for every 10 households according to the requirements of the empire, as the most basic grassroots ruling class, and the remaining 20 households were led by the tribal chief.

In other words, although he was the tribal chief, the theoretical tribal ruler actually had only ten more households than the others.

This creates a very serious problem: the tribal chief cannot say anything in the tribe, and anything he wants to do must be consulted with the other ten chiefs, and most of them agree before it can be implemented.

"Cherge, what did you call us for today?" A chief said very politely: "If you have anything to say, just say it, the snow will stop soon, and I have to watch the kid below plow the land." ”

Hearing this, the tribal leader Cherg frowned slightly.

In the past, the tribal chief was the slave owner and the master of everyone in the tribe, and no one in his tribe dared to call him by his name at that time.

But now, there are a large number of Han masters above, and there are ten more security chiefs below, and they are naturally not as majestic as before.

Speaking of which, since taking refuge in Huaxia, Cherge has felt a little strange.

On the one hand, the imperial government's oppression of them is really ruthless, and it is a deer skin for each household and a mink skin for ten households, which is really a heavy burden for the Saurons.

But at the same time, if the tribute is completed on time and in good quantity, the emperor will also give back some supplies - such as the tent where Cherge now lives, as well as household utensils.

Fur was worthless in the hands of the Saurons, but utensils such as woolen cloth and iron pots were the opposite, and their prices were inflated.

And in Springs, it was clear that a deerskin mink was worth more than a tent or something.

This time and again, Cherg felt that he had not actually lost anything in his tribute. In particular, taking advantage of the opportunity to go to Springs, Cherg also bought a lot of salt at a low price (for the Saurons).

On the other hand, the empire forcibly created a new stratum within the tribes, which in fact seriously dispersed the power of the tribal chiefs.

But the empire did not allow this new class to overthrow the original hundred households.

For example, at the beginning of this year, a hundred households of a neighboring tribe in Cherg were killed by a rebellious chief of the tribe under his command.

In accordance with the tradition of giving birth to a girl, the powerful chief took over the wives and concubines of the original tribal chief, the children and all the property of the people.

In order to gain the recognition of the empire, the chief even took the initiative to propose to the chief of the province of Molongjiang to increase the amount of tribute paid by his tribe.

However, after the empire received this news, the first and only reaction was to send troops to encircle and suppress this tribe.

In the end, the chief of the guard, who did not know what he had committed, was executed in public, and the Huaxia people found a minor son of the original Baihu in the slave pile and made him the new Baihu.

Afterwards, the officials of the imperial government summoned all the Hundred Households of Waibo to give a lecture and clearly informed that the Chinese Empire recognized, and only recognized, those who had obtained the license of the Hundred Households, and if the Sauron Hundred Households were replaced, they must choose an heir from among the heirs of the Old Hundred Households.

If the old hundred households have no heirs, then choose from the dearest relatives, and no matter how brave the people below are, they are not allowed to peep into the throne of the hundred households.

It was not until a long time after this incident that Cherge understood a truth: as long as he did not betray the empire and honestly obeyed the orders of the empire, then the position of the chief of the tribe would be passed on forever in his bloodline.
