Chapter 529: Mood Changes 2/2
Many people in the Hunan team dreamed of a few more enemies so that they could also get the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but they did not expect that until the end of summer, no new enemies would appear.
When the natural disaster was at its worst before, the nomadic tribes on the grassland also suffered heavy losses, I don't know how many nomadic tribes perished, and this is the edge of the grassland, and there are indeed few nomadic tribes here.
It has been more than five months since the early spring Xia Kingdom sent invitations to various familiar tribes, and in the past five months, only the two tribes of the Scorpion Tribe and the Turtle Tribe have finally made a decision to accept the invitation of the Xia Kingdom, and the entire tribe will join the Xia Kingdom.
The decision of the Scorpion Tribe and the Turtle Tribe to accept the invitation was also discussed many times by the top leaders of their respective tribes, and the final decision was made after the summer.
At the beginning, after receiving the invitation of the Xia Kingdom, the high-ranking members of the Scorpion Tribe and the Turtle Tribe immediately divided into two factions, one faction did not accept the invitation, and the other faction accepted the invitation, and the former was more numerous than the latter.
But the matter is not as simple as accepting or not accepting the invitation, the high-level leaders of the two tribes have thought of a very serious question, if their tribe does not accept the invitation, will they make trouble with the Xia State, and whether the Xia State will send a large army to attack their tribe because of this.
Perhaps because they were worried that the Xia Kingdom would send a large army to attack their tribe, several people in the upper echelons of the Scorpion Tribe and the Turtle Tribe turned to the faction that accepted the invitation, but at this time, the number of people who did not accept the invitation still exceeded the faction that accepted the invitation.
The leader of the scorpion tribe was inclined to join the entire scorpion tribe to join the Xia Kingdom, but the scorpion leader did not use his authority to directly decide the fate of the scorpion tribe, but used another side method.
The scorpion leader gathered the high-level of the tribe, first compared his tribe with the Xia country, to see how much better the Xia country was than the scorpion tribe, and then analyzed the current life of those tribes who joined the Xia country before, and finally discussed what kind of life the scorpion tribe would live after joining the Xia country, and what impact it would have on the scorpion tribesmen.
In the process of the scorpion leader taking the lead in the discussion, the high-level leaders of the faction who did not accept the invitation gradually gave up their thoughts and joined the faction that accepted the invitation, and the faction that accepted the invitation gradually became the majority, and the faction that did not accept the invitation became a minority, and finally the scorpion leader made the final decision to contact the Xia country and discuss the matter of the scorpion tribe joining the Xia country.
The witch of the scorpion tribe went to the Xia country, and the matter of the scorpion tribe joining the Xia country was decided, and when the autumn harvest was over, the scorpion tribe would move to the Xia country, and the scorpion tribe officially joined the Xia country as a scorpion clan, and the people of the scorpion clan became the citizens of the Xia country and were treated equally with other clansmen.
The situation of the turtle tribe is not the same as that of the scorpion tribe, but the decision was made after in-depth discussion.
From the westernmost hometown of the Yan clan to the easternmost fishing tribe, there are more than a dozen tribes in the Yellow River Basin, and it is expected that only the scorpion tribe and the turtle tribe will join the Xia country this year, and the rest of the tribes will not accept the invitation of the Xia country.
In fact, these tribes that did not accept the invitation were also frightened at first, and the stronger Fishing Tribe and Japanese Tribe camps were better, both tribes or camps had a population of more than 13,000 people, and they were able to assemble an army of more than 5,000 adult clansmen.
The Fishing Tribe and the Japanese Tribe camp are not too worried about being attacked by the Xia State after making enemies with the Xia State, even if the Xia State sends a large army over, the Fishing Tribe and the Japanese Tribe camp both think that their own strength is not the opponent of the Xia State, at least they can block it, you must know that the Fishing Tribe and the Japanese Tribe camp are more or less trading weapons and equipment from the Xia State, and the Fishing Tribe itself can also smelt copper and cast copper weapons.
The tribes outside the camp of the Fishing Tribe and the Japanese Tribe are especially affected by the previous natural disasters, and there are few tribes with a population of more than 2,000, more than half of them are tribes with a population of less than 2,000, and there are four tribes with a population of less than 1,000.
The population of the tribe is not large, and the strength is not high, and they don't think they have the strength to resist the Xia State, but these tribes don't want to join the Xia State, and after deciding not to accept the invitation, they have been worried, worried that the Xia State will send a large army to attack it, and even three tribes plan to move away from the main trunk of the Yellow River.
But moving is not that easy, after all, the place where they live now is the home they have been operating for decades or even centuries, and it is too much trouble to change to a new home.
More importantly, the new home had to be far away from the main trunk of the Yellow River and its tributaries, because the ships of the Xia Kingdom would sail over, and fishing was a very important way to obtain food, and no tribe could easily make the decision to move.
Time passed day by day, and most of the tribes did not hoist the white flag anymore, avoided trading with the Xia Kingdom, and did not answer the question of "accept or not accept the invitation" for the time being, delaying time as much as possible.
If you don't fly the white flag, the second trade fleet will not pass, anyway, the plan has already been formulated, if you don't give a reply this year, don't accept the invitation, next year Xia Guo will use force to deter, next year if you don't accept the invitation, then the year after next will directly overwhelm the border.
So much so that seeing that Xia Guo's fleet did not come over again, the worried tribes actually felt a little more relaxed in their hearts, and even some tribe leaders thought: Xia Guo is a friendly tribe, they really just invite their tribe to join Xia Guo, and have no other ideas.
Regardless of the mood changes of other tribes, summer is over, autumn is coming, and soon it is autumn harvest season, and the entire Xia country is in the joy of autumn harvest.
This year's rain is still relatively large, but it is less than last year, and the impact of natural disasters on the farming of Xia Country is getting smaller and smaller, and the grain output is reduced by a little more than half a percent, which is within an acceptable range.
Natural disasters continue to decline, and it is expected that next year, natural disasters will have little impact on Xia's farming, and the stabilization of farming means that Xiaguo no longer needs to worry about food, and can rest assured that he can boldly carry out various plans.
After the autumn harvest ended, the fleet of the Xia Kingdom moved both the Scorpion Tribe and the Turtle Tribe to two of the four new cities built by the Xia Kingdom this year, along with the grain harvested by the two tribes this year.
Joining the Xia Kingdom and experiencing the life of the Xia people for themselves, the Scorpion Clan and the Turtle Clan really felt the gap between the previous life of their tribe and the current life of the Xia people.
"We made the right choice." The high-level leaders of the proto-scorpion tribe and the turtle tribe thought in their hearts that sometimes, a happy life is more important than tribal independence/independence, and their own tribesmen can be treated equally in advance, rather than being discriminated against after joining.
Winter is coming, Yancheng has been built in early autumn, Yancheng is far away from the Xia country, the first winter is the biggest test of Yancheng, as the lord of Yancheng, Yan Teng carefully ordered one thing after another, and did not allow any problems.
In the midst of the busyness, snowflakes fell from the sky.
[Twenty-eight and twenty-nine is the busiest time for the New Year, just wait until thirty, and I almost want to break the shift today]
