Chapter 352: Death Light is the Best
The 400,000 Xiongnu army was wiped out in the middle of Li Ang's hand, and the killing of 200,000 Xiongnu prisoners made all the tribes in the grassland tremble, and they all sent envoys to Li Ang to express their loyalty to Daqin, for fear that if they moved slowly, they would make this murderous demon king unhappy, and it would be a tribal annihilation. And Li Ang also changed his contempt for these wall grasses in the past, personally met with all the envoys, and said that the border land of Great Qin is empty, and the population needs to be filled, and whoever comes to defect to Great Qin is the people of Great Qin.
Li Ang's words, for a time on the border between Daqin and the Xiongnu stirred up a thousand waves, large and small tribes almost didn't want to think about it, they moved south one after another, they used to repeatedly request to attach to Daqin were rejected so they could only follow the Huns, now they can hug Daqin, which is obviously much thicker than the Xiongnu's thighs, how can they be unwilling, as for whether Li Ang will go back on his word, they never thought about it, in their hearts, Li Ang is the demon king of murder, but what he said is like a certainty, never lose his trust.
In just over two months, more than 600,000 tribes drove cattle, sheep and horses, rode carts, and surrendered to Li Ang, while the 400,000 Xiongnu army that had previously hoarded grain and grass in the camp was generously given by Li Ang to the first tens of thousands of people who came to take refuge. This hand greatly stimulated the others, making them understand that as long as they were in peace under Leon's hands, they would have their own benefit.
Finally, before winter, the population of the tribe that took refuge in Li Ang was nearly 800,000, and the Xiongnu were almost half of the tribal vassals on the border of Daqin, and the rest were either loyal to the Xiongnu. Either the family is reluctant to have a great cause, or the Eastern Turkic Khanate, which has a deep blood feud with Leon. However, in just over ten years, the Turks have fallen from an emerging power on the steppe to the point where they are now lackeys of the Huns, which can be said to be due to Li Ang's hand, and the Turkic warrior gods and famous generals were all defeated and killed by Li Ang himself.
The winter of the steppe, harsh and cold, is not at all suitable for military training and war. However, the soldiers of Daqin continued to survive in the ice and snow, making the nearly 800,000 Hu people who lived near the camp in awe, they were glad that they had taken refuge in Daqin instead of continuing to follow the Huns, they could imagine how the Huns would be ravaged by Daqin in the coming days, just like a hundred and fifty years ago, no one in this world could defeat these terrible soldiers, not in the past, not now, and maybe not in the future.
In the heavy snowfall, countless knights of Daqin marched among the various tribes with military flags. Reading out the conscription order, Great Qin Wu Anjun wants to recruit a grassland servant army belonging to him, all men over the age of sixteen and under forty can go to the big camp to enlist, once selected, they will receive three gold baht per month, and their families will also be accepted as Great Qin Wu Anjun's subordinates.
It is the nature of the steppe people to worship the strong. For the tribes who took refuge, Li Ang used to be their nightmare, a terrible murderer, and now Li Ang is their patron saint, and being able to become his soldiers and subordinates is not only an honor, but also means that they can never worry about it, because no one dares to offend this Wu Anjun, who has been the most famous on the prairie since Emperor Taizu of Great Qin.
Countless men came out of the tribe, armed with their swords and bows and arrows. Under the leadership of the tribal leader, they rushed towards the camp of Great Qin, and they all wanted to become Li Ang's soldiers and follow this Lord Wu Anjun to make meritorious achievements. Be a warrior. The selection lasted for half a month, and only 150,000 of the more than 200,000 people who came to enlist were left behind, mixed with the 70,000 captives of various ethnic groups who had defected to Cheng Li Ang, and were stationed in the former Xiongnu camp for training. And their families were also contained and stationed near the camp, so that nearly half a million of the 800,000 people in the land became Li Ang's subordinates, and those young and strong were all under his command, and those who remained were not very strong, and they were not afraid of their recurrence in the future.
In November, the Protestants who came from the river began to preach to these 500,000 people, and at the same time taught them to learn Chinese characters, and made them forget the history and beliefs of the original place, and had to admit that Wang Meng was an out-and-out statecraft, and in the absence of Li Ang for half a year, he kept the river in good order, and at the same time used the migrating Hedong Chamber of Commerce to expand the workshop in the river, and by virtue of Li Ang's influence on the Persians, in one breath accounted for nearly thirty percent of the original Silk Road trade, although this made the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce, which relied on the Silk Road to eat, very angry, but at this time, Li Ang is in full swing, who dares to trouble this Wu Anjun, who is bound to be crowned king, it is not that he wants to ask for a coffin to sleep in if he has a long life. So the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce simply approached Wang Meng generously and asked for cooperation and a share of the pie, but Wang Meng did not dare to make a self-determination, so he took the opportunity to send missionaries for half a year
The situation was sent along with the draft proposed by the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce.
After carefully reading Wang Meng's handwriting, Li Ang thought about it and wrote the words 'Jun Ke Self-Determination' after the handwriting, he was still very relieved for Wang Meng, after writing, Li Ang looked at the envoy sent by Wang Meng, it was a young man with Persian ancestry, and his Chinese language was quite tasteful, Wang Meng mentioned in the handbook, at present, he has raised the officials of non-Han blood in the river to about two and a half, these people's loyalty is undoubted, and they are all devout Protestants, please rest assured.
Seeing the young man take the book from his hand with a look of admiration and respectfully withdraw from the tent, Li Ang couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't know how Wang Meng trained these officials, but it was obvious that they regarded themselves as gods, not people. In addition to Wang Meng's handwritten letter, there were also reports sent back by Cui Hao and Chen Qingzhi on An Changsheng's mother and the situation in Asia.
Now the situation in Asia Minor can be said to be at a stalemate, no one expected that the Roman Emperor Olivier, who had been in office for thirty-seven years, would suddenly die less than two months after sending a large army to attack Greece, and was succeeded by his second son, Constantine, who controlled the Roman Janissary Guard, who defeated his brother who had the support of Roman civil officials, and eliminated the forces against him with a strong hand, and the short-lived coup d'état of Rome also led to the failure of the Roman invasion in Greece. Although Chen Qingzhi and Ran Min defeated the Roman legions several times on the Macedonian plains, they could not hurt them, and although the Roman legions eventually retreated due to a domestic coup, they still turned the area of Lower Macedonia into a scorched earth.
As for An Changsheng's mother, Cui Hao did not succeed in rescuing him, at the last moment, the new Roman emperor Constantine sent the Praetorian Guards to take An Changsheng's mother away, Cui Hao chose to cancel all actions in order not to expose his secret agent system in Rome; and went to Rome in person, but what people didn't expect was that An Changsheng's mother died the day after arriving at the Roman court, and the Romans said that they committed suicide, but Cui Hao got the inside story that An Changsheng's mother was unwilling to write a letter to recall her son, and stabbed Constantine with a hairpin, and was finally killed on the spot by Constantine's guards.
Li Ang didn't expect that the final outcome would be like this, An Changsheng's mother finally died, at the hands of the Romans, and he didn't know how sad An Changsheng was when he learned the news. Putting down Cui Hao's handwriting, Li Ang sighed heavily, Constantine is a difficult opponent, although it is not clear whether this Constantine is the Constantine the Great in history, but just from his clean seizure of the throne, the exclusion of dissidents, and the decisive recall of the legions in Greece, all show that this new Roman emperor is not a simple figure.
The scorched earth strategy of the Romans when they withdrew, so that the grain production area of Lower Macedonia was devastated, and it was foreseeable that the Greeks would not have a good time in the next few years, as long as the Romans seized control of the sea, they could block Egypt's grain exports to Asia Minor, and it seemed that the next battle would not be very easy to fight, and it was hoped that the reinforcement fleet of Daqin would be able to stop the Roman navy.
Li Ang's eyes fell on the map behind him, in Europe and Eurasia 6, the Romans and the Huns were the strongest opponents of Great Qin, the Han people's one hundred and fifty years of rule encountered the most serious challenges, the Huns would never retreat because of only 200,000 people, the territory of Great Qin is too vast, the current border line is still too far from the areas effectively controlled by Great Qin (Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia), Great Qin to maintain this line of defense to invest manpower and material resources far from the Huns.
Leon could even see the day when the Romans and the Huns formed an alliance, maybe after this winter, he would be able to hear the news that the Romans provided armaments and food to the Huns, and the Huns dragged Daqin on this border line that stretched for thousands of miles, so that the Romans could capture Asia, once the dragon city Qinling was in danger, Daqin had to send troops to Asia Minor, and fell into a two-front battle, even if Daqin was strong, it would be difficult to support it in two battlefields far from the mainland.
—
Thinking of this, the cold in Leon's eyes became cold, he would never allow such a situation to appear, Constantine's throne has always been taken away, the foundation is unstable, the Romans invaded Greece and Asia Minor again, not to mention a year later, in this year, he must try to weaken the strength of the Huns and increase the chances of victory for Daqin.
"Cunzhi, you immediately set off and go back to the river, and transfer Murong and the Thorn Army (the 30,000 Great Qin soldiers who surrendered to the Force, and were later accepted by Li Ang as a pro-army, in order to remember their past sins, they tattooed words on their faces)." Li Ang turned around and looked at Li Cunzhi, his voice as cold as a blade out of the sheath.
"Whoa!" Li Cunzhi replied loudly and walked out of the tent, he knew that soon there would be a lot of Huns dying on this grassland, but for him, it didn't matter how many Huns died, it was best to die.
