Honestly farm and pay rent, use the savings of half a lifetime saved by my father and mother to marry an ugly woman, and then have children, so that my children and grandchildren can live a hard life with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky, and live a life of not having enough food and clothing. And if you accidentally owe usury, the whole family will be doomed, because it is a debt of Hades that ordinary families can't pay off with their own life's hard work......

For most of ancient China, the life of ordinary peasants seemed to be like this. Only a small part of the time, such as the great rule after the great chaos, the population was lost in the great chaos, the land appeared relatively rich, and the emperors in power were not confused - such as the grant of land in the early Han Dynasty, the Yongye field in the Sui and Tang dynasties, etc., that could allow the peasants at the bottom to take a breath.

Generally speaking, after the chaos, there is a great rule, not only because the people are determined, but also because a great chaos has harvested too many heads.

But now the question is. When Lu Qian kicked over the Zhao and Song dynasties, the war was too civilized, and the whole country did not suffer the disaster of most of the deaths, so in essence, the per capita amount of land in Middle-earth is not very large. For ordinary people, if they want to get ahead, leaving their homeland and going elsewhere is a necessary choice.

Such as the new Fook and the bay bay ratio, that is the gap between the forest and the woods; And the land of Fujian separated by a bay and a water, that is the gap between a forest and a tree. Therefore, 20 years has long been like a big net, and all those who are willing to change have been screened out.

The reasons vary, but as long as the result is the same, it's fine.

Over the years, the rapid expansion of Lu Qi's sphere of influence and 'native' area has been inseparable from their efforts and sacrifices.

As long as they take a step out, a new life, a new life, a very bitter but promising future is waiting for them!

It's like a member of a security team under the Sinfu Security Company that is cutting melon skins on Mindanao.

This security company, which was allowed to be established by Lu Qian when Lu E was fifteen years ago three years ago, was infected with blood from the first day he boarded Xinfu.

In today's era, the 'security company' has long been rotten, and everyone knows that this is actually an armed force. It's just a layer of disguise.

From Japan to the South Seas, to the Western Regions, Saibei and Northeast China, security companies from the Central Plains are active in it. Those with a small background, or those who are relatively peaceful and self-contained, are like the 'unit' where Zhang Xian is located as mentioned above, and those with a deep background and a strong background are the same as Xinfu Security Company.

They first spent two years pacifying the 'unruly' new Fukushima natives, and then moved to Mindanao. The population of the latter is far less numerous than that of Shin-Fukushima, and the civilization is even more barbaric, not to mention that the natives are like wolves and tigers, and they even have few irons. Occasionally, a few bronze daggers and daggers can be seen, and they are vulnerable to the steel blades in the hands of the security guards. However, there are mountains and plateaus, dense forests, and swamps everywhere, and it is completely like a tropical primeval forest.

The indigenous population is small and difficult to reach. But once touched, it is difficult to escape the clutches of the security guards.

Don't forget the faith, the monks and Taoists 'soar through the clouds and mist', 'glittering', is still very compelling. A few manned hot air balloons, with a bit of luck, can easily subdue an indigenous tribe.

In the face of a powerful foreign offensive, Mindanao, despite its extremely complex terrain, has a lot to offer.

To be honest, the effect of the Buddhist and Taoist world with hot air balloons is huge and unexpected, even Lu Qian, the initiator. It was not only in the Americas that it played a huge role, but also in the South Seas.

In the case of Jawa and Sumatra, where the indigenous rebellion was the most fierce, when the natives of the two places saw each other sitting high in the 'sky', surrounded by golden lights, golden lotus platforms and colorful auspicious clouds shining under their feet, no matter how hostile and stubborn the natives were, they would feel that they were enemies of God and would be shaken by it. Those who are not firm will become obedient citizens of the new kingdom. As for those who continue to fight, then there is no need to think about it.

In fact, the biggest reason why the indigenous people of the two places have been able to survive until now is still the complex terrain of the local area.

Taking Sumatra Island as an example, Fang Ming has not completely ruled for more than ten years, is it really that the natives are strong in battle, and are they really not afraid of death? That's.

The topography of Sumatra is a large northwest-southeast mountain range that runs through the island, and to the east of the mountain range is a vast alluvial plain, where powerful rivers originating in the mountains carry silt downstream, creating vast alluvial plains full of swamps such as Palembang. Although there is very little land for cultivation, as it is a large area of tropical forest. However, it is the main area of activity of the indigenous people here.

The coastal flat west of the mountain range is too narrow, and it is often attacked by the waves of the Indian Ocean, as well as the impact of strong winds and tsunamis, and there are few people. Fang Ming has not developed it so far.

After the last main force of the natives here was defeated, they could only rely on the dense rainforest all over the island to fight the land, and year after year, the civilization of the entire group was rapidly declining.

Civilization has regressed hundreds of years, and now those hostile natives are in their hands, not to mention steel knives and strong armor, and if they can have a rotten iron knife, they are already characters with heads and faces. Cutting on Fang Mingjun's armor can't break the defense!

What they really gave Fang Ming a headache was the attack on civilians and ordinary villages and towns. It is like a rat in a hole in the ground, which is disgusting. But we can't help but face up to their existence.

But even with such a rudimentary weapon and in such a disadvantaged environment, the natives who should resist are still very tenacious! There were already many places in Western Sumatra that had not been conquered by the Srivijaya people, how could they surrender to Fang Ming?

The mode of war was slow to eliminate the resistance of the indigenous Sumatran people, but before the advent of hot air balloons, it was the only way Fang Ming could establish his ruling authority.

Now, a few Manichaean monks with shaved heads can occasionally sit on hot air balloons and make their appearances, which is a great thing to be able to rein in many recalcitrant natives.

It can be said that the appearance of hot air balloons provides an excellent opportunity for China to completely conquer Southeast Asia.

It was also a big surprise that Lu Qian didn't expect.

……

Turn your eyes back to Liu Feng and Liu Yong, or rather, turn your eyes back to Lu Qi's Western Expeditionary Army.

As the cold winter passes, winter turns to spring, and the ice and snow melt. A detachment of infantry cavalry also slowly crossed the Hexi Corridor and entered the Western Regions. This is the place where the army of Lu Qi gathers, whether it is the Qi army, the servant army, or the auxiliary soldiers.
