2392 How to deal with mountain people

Wei Shi is a typical pro-Qin force of the Dawan people, in the eyes of the Qin people, they are friends of the Qin people, or rather, they are just a dog, but for the Dawan people, they are Wanda. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info they betrayed the interests of the Dawan people. In exchange for their own reluctance, as well as their own glory and wealth, for such people, they are very hateful, even more hateful than the people of Qin, but they are helpless, they can't beat the people of Qin. The Qin people conquered them by force.

Dongguan City, Dongmengzhou in the north of the Qin State, the city here is slightly larger than the town, with a population of more than 50,000 people, and there are 3,000 standing troops garrisoned here, because it is important to be close to the eastern border, so it is called Dongguan City.

"Sir, as soon as we received the telegram, we summoned the tribal chiefs of these hill people to discuss these matters, but when I told them the request to send troops, all the tribal leaders were willing, and we made an inquiry into the scale of their troops. The total is more than 30,000 people. Major Meng Di introduced Meng Tian.

"Hmm. In this way, they are very satisfied with our request to send troops? Meng Tian asked.

"Yes, sir, but I looked at their troops, and their so-called 30,000 men almost wanted the entire tribe to go on the expedition, and in one tribe, men, women, old people, and children could go on the expedition, so to speak, they were the whole tribe fighting, and they thought that it would be very beneficial for their tribe to do so." Monty said worriedly. For such a team, it cannot be called an army. The Qin army needed an army capable of fighting, but among the mountain people, men fought and the elderly, women, and children were in charge of logistics. It is very common for an entire tribe to go into battle. But for the Qin army, this will aggravate their logistical supply, because all the food of these people comes to the Qin army's logistics troops, and they need to provide a lot of food for these people, these mountain people, living in very poverty, especially when it is almost winter, they will store food for a long time, in order to survive the cold and long winter, these tribes after hearing the news that the Qin people need a large number of troops, especially the men of some tribes exchange for a limited amount of money through conscription, And after this money can buy a lot of food, many tribes began to approach the Qin people's control area, they constantly asked for conscription, they hoped to let their tribe survive in this way, besides, for them, it is the most common thing for men to fight as soldiers, that is, to die in battle, it is also a very honorable thing, because their death in battle can be exchanged for a large number of materials, this is an era when human life is lower than the value of goods. The lives of mountain people are very cheap.

"No, this can't work, what we need is soldiers who can fight, the way of fighting like the mountain people can't meet the needs of our Qin people, and, most importantly, the command problem, we need to command them to fight, in this way, the command is very chaotic, I know them too well. The reason why we can defeat several of their tribes with one company is because the tribes will not fight together, which is very disadvantageous to us, and we don't need this way of fighting. After hearing this, Meng Tian immediately shook his head and vetoed such a method.

This is the unique way of fighting of the mountain people, the whole tribe goes up in a group, they have been accustomed to this way of fighting, and this way of fighting can feed the people of the whole tribe, the mountain people have the habit of stockpiling food, because the winter here is long and cold, but their food is extremely scarce, but the canned food of the Qin people has no such problem, they can be left for a long time, and it is very delicious, because in the mountains, salt is very scarce, but it is a necessity for people. Mountain people don't have anything like that. Through the method of serving as a tribal soldier, they can get a large amount of canned food supplies from the Qin people, and if the battle is very fierce, they will also get more canned food, as well as other food, which can be left for a long time. It's too beneficial for them. And it's very attractive. But it is not good for the people of Qin.

"It's just that if you do this, I'm afraid they won't agree, you know, that's how they fight." Mondi shook his head. For these tribes, he has no choice, they are still relatively independent, the Qin State is not willing to interfere with them too much, and the mountain goods they bring should be able to bring great profits to the merchants of the Qin State.

"Nope. We need a force that has less logistical impact and can be deployed quickly, and if we follow the way of the mountain Qiang, it will be very difficult to fight, and we must explain this to them, otherwise, we will cancel their demands and we will not give them more food. Meng Tian said very harshly. Meng Tian has served as a commander in the north for a long time, for these mountain people, he is very used to it, they are simple, but they are greedy, because they are very poor, for all the resources they think can be occupied, they want to keep it for themselves, this has happened, these mountain people have long occupied the tap water in the towns of Qin, so they never let go of such a thing as taking advantage, so in terms of conditions, they must be meticulous, this is the only way to deal with mountain people.

"Sir." Mondi felt a little difficult.

"The attitude must be tough, I know, they have to survive the winter, but they have to make sure that our war goes well." Meng Tian said.

"That's the only way we can pay them, if we can't. We have to rethink our cooperation. We can give up on such things. Meng Tian said coldly.

"Don't forget. The people of the Qin State can survive this cold winter, they can't. Meng Tian said to Meng Di.

"Sir. I think I get it. "Mondi felt that they had the absolute initiative because they controlled the food and other supplies, but the lack of such materials by the God man could make up for it by hunting, but it was unknown how long the hunt could last and how much supplies it could be exchanged for, but it was different to join the army. They can get involved all at once, which is a big advantage for them. The most important thing is the loot, and with the loot, they can get more supplies. They've never done anything like this before. Therefore, the mountain people were very satisfied with and willing to the conditions offered by the Qin people.
