Cherg was a little confused as to why the Reich would show such obvious contradictions to his own people.

They oppress the tribes, but also give rich rewards.

They weakened the tribe, but also maintained the authority of the tribal chief.

For an illiterate former tribal patriarch of the Jurchen Empire, now a hundred households outside the Chinese Empire, this is a difficult question to understand.

When he could not understand the deep meaning of the Empire's policy, when faced with the new order of the Empire, he could not think of the purpose of the Empire's order.

So I had to call all the security chiefs under him, read the order, and then discuss with them and come out.

"Of course I called you here because there was something."

Even when consulted, Cherge's tone was not very friendly:

"The political envoy sent an order from the prince, asking our tribe to send four dings, bring their own weapons and military rations to the political secretary to listen to the order."

In the Chinese Empire, the provincial chief official was the political envoy, and the department where he worked was called the political envoy department.

Because Xu Shiyang is the crown prince and the top leader of the military, the current supreme orders issued by the imperial military are generally issued in the name of the prince.

"Going to war?" A security chief asked.

"Isn't this nonsense? If we don't fight, what are we going to do with weapons? Another security chief said very politely: "Fighting is nothing, we used to fight every year, I think, the question is who we are going to fight this time." ”

A buzzing discussion immediately sounded in the hundred-household tent.

Some people think that they should go to fight the Mugyu, the Mugyu people are not strong in combat, and they were often beaten when they were in the Dajin Kingdom in the past, but now the Dahua Kingdom is naturally more relaxed and happy to clean them up.

Moreover, the Muguls can grab a lot of cattle and sheep, and if they are lucky, they can also get a lot of free horses.

Some people also say that they should go to sweep the Jurchens, that is, those tribes who have not obtained a hundred household licenses, they are easier to deal with, that is, after killing them, they can't grab anything except a little ding mouth and skin.

"Cherge, who are we going to fight this time?"

After discussing for a long time, the chief impatiently asked Cherge, who had been silent, directly.

"Out of four Dingkou, two went to the west to fight the party members, and two went to Liaoyang to listen to orders, and I don't know where to go."

Silence fell immediately in the noisy tent.

To fight the party people? According to the style of Huaxia, if you go to such a far place, you will definitely not be able to come back, and if you don't die, the possibility of staying directly in the local cantonment is ten out of ten.

It is estimated that the people who go to Liaoyang will be similar - they will definitely not be stationed in Liaoyang, because it is counted as Han land, and it is estimated that they will also go to a far corner.

"This is going to divide our mouths again." A chief sighed.

Whether it is the chief or the hundred households, these low-level rulers of Sauron do not have a noble name, but they already have the consciousness of being masters, and they regard the population of the ten dozens of households under them as their own private property according to their own habits.

Ding Kou went out to fight the Muguls or other raw Jurchens, which could bring some benefits to them, the slave owners, so everyone liked it.

But if they go to a distant place to fight, and they don't come back after the battle, these slave owners will have a feeling that some of their property has been misappropriated.

"Four Dingkou, they are stationed elsewhere, and then the court will definitely ask to move their mother-in-law and cubs together, and they have to carry blades and food, I don't benefit at all!" A security chief gritted his teeth as if he had a toothache and said, "If my people don't go, you can choose someone from elsewhere." ”

"I'm not going either!"

"Me too!"

"Me too! Don't go! ”

A company of five or six security chiefs expressed their refrain from sending troops to participate in this call-up, and the remaining few security chiefs who did not say anything also looked at Cherg with gloomy faces.

"If your people don't go, then you go." Cherge took a knife, stared at the cooked mutton in the pot, and said lightly: "Four of you will be selected from the six of you, and you will choose two of you to stay, and these two will go again when you are recruited next time." ”

"Cherge, are you joking?" The faces of the security chiefs became hideous: "Don't forget, we have a hundred households in our hands, and you only have twenty!" ”

"I am a hundred households, and I am registered in the political envoy department." Cherge said lightly: "You have 10,000 households, and I am also in charge of you, and I am not convinced to ask the political envoy to remove me." ”

Of course, no one dared to go.

The political envoy only recognizes the 100 households on the register, because they are appointed by the empire, and the chief of the protector is designated by the 100 households—there must be, but it doesn't matter who the chief of the protector is.

In fact, Cherge has just figured out that the empire requires every ten households to set up a security chief, which is really just for the convenience of management - the empire manages the tribe through the hundred households (in fact, it should be called the hundred households), and the tribal chief manages the lower accounts through the security chief.

If you think that the chief of the security guard is not doing well, why not change it?

These idiots who began to pretend to be the chief of the security guard happened to be thrown to the Han people as slaves.

Only then did the chief realize that Cherg was real. He really wants to choose four security chiefs to send troops!

Of course, when it comes to the Han people, the chief of the security cannot be regarded as the chief of the security.

"Cherge, my mother-in-law just gave birth to a cub, and I can't go."

Immediately someone began to complain.

"I'm sick, and I can't go."

"I don't have armor, and if I go, I will be blamed by the master of the political envoy."

"I ......"

"Mother-in-law, I'll take care of you first, and I'll send it to you when you settle down there." Cherge said lightly: "If you are sick, just go to the Han doctor for treatment, people have a miracle doctor, and any disease can be cured." ”

"It's not a matter if you don't have armor, and the Han people don't need you to charge into battle, watch the Han people kill all those party members, you just follow and pick up a pair of armor."

"It's decided, get ready, and set off for Qiqihar in three days."

Qiqihar is now the seat of the political envoy of the Molongjiang Province, the provincial capital.

……

After selecting four men to send troops on the orders of the political envoys, Cherg unceremoniously drove the rest of the men out of his house.

When his mother-in-law saw that she had finished her business, she quickly took out a wooden bowl and filled him with a bowl of mutton, and then found two hot cakes and cheese to bake.

Cherg held the bowl, but was in no hurry to eat these exquisite foods.

He was still thinking about things, and he had been thinking about things a lot since he had returned from his first tribute.

Not only do I have enough to eat now, but I can even eat meat. ’

In the past, when the Cherg tribe pledged allegiance to the Jin Kingdom, even he, the tribal chief, could not eat meat as often - most of the livestock and prey had to be traded as commodities to exchange with the Jin Jurchens for other necessary necessities.

There is also the tax of the Jin State, although it is relatively low compared to the tribute of Huaxia, but it is also quite heavy.

At that time, the staple food of Shengnuzhen was mainly cheese and fish, mixed with some grains, wild vegetables, wild fruits and a small amount of meat.

And now, as the tribal chief, Cherg can afford to eat meat while taking on a larger tribute!

Why is that?
