Chapter 532: 1/2 of oneself and outsiders

"A year has passed, how is your tribe thinking, whether to accept our invitation to join our Xia Kingdom?"

"Don't accept it? The leader of the XX tribe, do you know what it means not to accept the invitation of our Xia Kingdom? It represents war! Everywhere the people of Xia go are the territories (territories) of our Xia Kingdom, here, there, these places are.

Now your tribe only has three choices, the first one, join our Xia Kingdom, and all of you tribe can live the happy life of their dreams; the second, moving, moving to a place far away from our Xia territory; Third, war, since you are not willing to join the Xia Kingdom and are not willing to move, our Xia Kingdom's army will come.

Our Xia Kingdom is a peace-loving 'tribe' and is unwilling to start a war at will, so our Xia Kingdom will also give your tribe a time to think, it is still a year, and this year, your tribe must make a decision, whether to join our Xia Kingdom, whether to move, or choose war. ”

In the early spring of the tenth year of the Xia calendar, the First Trade Fleet and the Second Trade Fleet transmitted similar words to all tribes from Yancheng to the Fishing Tribe, except for the Fishing Tribe and the Ri Tribe camp.

This is the Xia State using force to intimidate the tribes, and even some tribal leaders were angry on the spot and wanted to kill the officials of the Shang Department.

However, as the leader, they quickly came to their senses and threw away the thoughts in their minds, they clearly understood the strength of the Xia Kingdom, and there was still a year to think about it, if they injured or even killed the Xia people now, the tribe would soon usher in the revenge of the Xia Kingdom, their tribe was very weak compared to the Xia Kingdom, and they were powerless to resist the Xia Kingdom.

After the Xia fleet left, the tribes fell into quarrels, and the three factions of "accepting the invitation", "moving", and "war" expressed their opinions one after another.

"Moving, our tribe moved, I don't want to join the Xia Kingdom, and our tribe can't beat the Xia Kingdom, so we can only move."

"Let's join the Xia Kingdom, as long as we join the Xia Kingdom, we can live a better life, with endless food, and no enemies have threatened our lives."

"War, we have to defend our homeland with the weapons in our hands, although the Xia country is strong, it does not mean that we cannot resist the Xia country, as long as our tribe shows enough strength, the people of the Xia country will definitely retreat."

In the quarrel, "accepting the invitation" and "moving" are the two factions with the largest number of people, only a few people belong to the "war" faction, and nearly half of the tribe does not even have people from the "war" faction.

This quarrel is destined to last for a long time, it is a quarrel about the fate of the tribe, even the leader cannot make a decision easily, and even in the end, all the tribe members will decide the fate of the tribe together.

From friendly invitations to tough ultimatums, Xia underwent a major transformation in front of the tribes, from that friendly "ally" to an enemy, which made many tribes uncomfortable.

In fact, there are also a small number of people on the first trade fleet and the second trade fleet who are not adaptable, and the Xia Kingdom has always made friends with the tribes with a kind face, and suddenly changed to another attitude towards the tribes.

To use one word to express it is "hypocrisy", but for the development of Xia Kingdom, what about hypocrisy?

For a Xia countryman, there are only two kinds of people in this world, one is his own people, and the other is an outsider, "outsider" is a word that will change, when the outsider is weak, he can attach to the strong, and when the outsider is strong, he will turn around and kill the powerful person who was once attached.

Just like the previous Xia Kingdom was friendly to trade with various tribes, in the face of the powerful Xia Kingdom, the tribes carefully traded with the Xia Kingdom with smiling faces, on the one hand, they wanted to get better weapons and equipment from the Xia Kingdom, and on the other hand, they had to be wary of the Xia Kingdom.

Which of those tribes didn't want to develop into such a powerful tribe as the Xia Kingdom, and even thought that one day they would be able to defeat the Xia Kingdom and destroy the Xia Kingdom, and when they really developed and grew stronger, they would inevitably rebel against the Xia Kingdom, and the simplest examples of them were the Red Flag Country and the Sun Flag Country.

Xia Guo can't cultivate such a white-eyed wolf, the best way is to transform outsiders into his own people, and if he can't transform into his own outsiders, then destroy them all, where does there be so much friendship between tribes and tribes? It simply doesn't exist.

Of course, if you want to convert an outsider into your own, you need to use some necessary means, and use up more or less time.

After so many years, the remaining tribes in the Yellow River Basin from Yancheng to the Yu tribe can be said to be relatively stubborn, and because of natural disasters, the benefits that each tribe can bring to the Xia Kingdom are getting less and less, and without benefits, these tribes will not have much value in existence.

Sending armies to destroy these tribes, all the captured men were sent to mine and build roads, and the captured women were all rewarded to the meritorious warriors, and the warriors were given children.

That's what they're worth in the end, they're all outsiders anyway.

Tribes with a population of less than 5,000 are easy to say, only the fishing tribe and the Japanese tribe camp with a population of more than 10,000 are the most troublesome, no, it cannot be said that the fishing tribe and the Japanese tribe camp are the most troublesome, these two tribes (camps) are indeed powerful, but if you want to destroy them, it can only be regarded as more troublesome, and it can even be said that the fishing tribe with a larger population is easier to destroy than the Japanese tribe.

The reason is very simple, although the population of the fishing tribe and the Japanese tribe camp is large, their populations are not clustered together, the fishing tribe lives in the form of a main residence and multiple subordinate settlements, and the Japanese tribe camp lives in the form of a suzerain-lord tribe and multiple subordinate tribes.

The main residence of the fishing tribe only gathers one-third of the population of the fishing tribe, but the Japanese tribe gathers nearly half of the population of the Japanese tribe camp, and the population of the Japanese tribe camp is not as large as the fishing tribe, but the population of the Japanese tribe is more than the population of the main residence of the fishing tribe, so the fishing tribe that destroyed the Xia Kingdom is a little simpler than the Japanese tribe.

In any case, the population of the Fishing Tribe and the Japanese Tribe camp is more than 10,000, and the strength is relatively strong, and the Fishing Tribe and the Japanese Tribe camp are the last two targets of the Xia Kingdom, and because the strength of the Fishing Tribe and the Japanese Tribe camp is relatively strong, the possibility of joining the Xia Kingdom is very small, and they have to start a war in the end.

Considering the manpower and material resources required to wipe out the Fishing Tribe and the Japanese Tribe camp, the matter would be resolved at the end of the Five-Year Plan, so that when the second trading fleet went to the Fishing Tribe and Japanese Tribe camps, it did not issue an ultimatum to both at all, only New Year's greetings and New Year's gifts.
