Chapter 84: Demolition (1st Update)

Yang Jiao led the cavalry to pursue the defeated Mojiao clan warriors, and shouted surrender without killing while chasing them behind with war horses.

Unorganized, discarded and defenseless, humans are not as strong as wild beasts, and after being overtaken by horses, most of them surrender on their knees, leaving the foot soldiers who follow behind to be captured, while a small number of elite people resist stubbornly, but the cavalry ignore them and go around to deal with other miscellaneous soldiers.

The characteristics of cavalry can be well reflected at this time, sometimes gathered, sometimes scattered, disrupting the opponent's organization, breaking the enemy's will, most of the battles in the history of warfare are stalemate, the number of casualties is not large, and most of the deaths occur in the pursuit after the rout of one side.

Yang Jiao did not massacre, at most he used a big gun to knock down the fleeing enemy soldiers, which was already very merciful than stretching out his bronze sword and slashing at his back.

In this battle, more than 200 Mojiao clan warriors were killed, more than 400 were captured, and more than 500 people remained, basically scattered in the wilderness of the Central Plains, lacking food and clothing, sleeping in the open, and probably no more than one-third of them could go back alive.

Mo Jiaoxing is gone, no living person has been caught, and no body has been found, but one thing is certain, he did not die under the iron cavalry charge launched by Yang Jiao, and his whereabouts are unknown.

The Xuanyuan clan seized a large number of stone weapons, but nearly half of them were damaged.

Stone tools are not as hard and tough as iron tools, and they are a gap when they are bumped, so the battle damage is huge.

But no matter how damaged it was, it was stronger than the wooden sticks and wooden guns that the Xuanyuan clan warriors were currently holding in their hands, so everyone divided their weapons, and their faces were elated.

Xuanyuan Decheng gathered five hundred captives and wanted to slaughter them, which was the usual method of the tribes in the barbarian era, and it was also the most direct way to completely attack another tribe, in Robinson Crusoe, the war between two groups of natives, the victorious side would eat the other, it was a similar reason.

However, the Great River Civilization is still much more advanced than the cannibalistic natives, and it is not enough to eat people, and the reason for not leaving prisoners is also direct, there is not enough food to feed so many people.

It is important to know that the captured warriors are all men, and men are consumables of war, and women and children are strategic reserves.

The civilization of fishing, hunting and agriculture could not accommodate too much surplus labor for a while, so they did not fully enter slavery, and there were inevitable social structural constraints.

"Ah, Brother Xuanyuan, don't make too many killings and abuse~" At the banquet after the war, there were songs and laughter, Xuanyuan Decheng was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and when it was mentioned that he wanted to kill prisoners, Yang Li hurriedly pounced to stop it.

Yang Li said, we shouted slogans when we were chasing and killing, saying that if you disarm and don't kill, you will kill him, how can my old Yang's face be wiped away.

Xuanyuan Decheng gave a look if you are stupid, asked his subordinates not to convey the order first, and then said, even if you spare their lives, these people will not survive this winter, my Xuanyuan tribe does not have much food left, at most a hundred people will survive, and the remaining four hundred people will starve to death.

If the rest of the people were released into the wilderness, the fate could be even worse, and the roaming wolves and infested saber-toothed tigers could wipe them out in a matter of days.

Let the beasts eat these people, so what will the tribe face?

If the beasts have enough food and reproduce in large numbers in the coming year, the safety of the people will be seriously threatened.

Therefore, Chief Xuanyuan's concerns are still relatively thorough.

Yang Li said it's okay, you give me the remaining 400 people, and I will take them to Los Angeles to be slaves, if you feel that you have lost money, I will send you back 200 people in the next year, which can be regarded as earning your 200 people for nothing.

Xuanyuan Decheng laughed and said, Brother Yang, if it weren't for your help this time, my Xuanyuan clan would definitely be abolished, where can I still drink wine and eat meat here, and discuss how to deal with slaves, even if you take all the five hundred people away, I won't frown, but you have to think about it, the rations of these five hundred people are not a small amount.

Yang Yu said calmly, I can't do anything else, and I still don't lack food in Los Angeles.

Based on agriculture, Yang Yu does not take the mine as the base and does not take the trade village as the base, but sets the base camp in the river bay, a land with abundant water and grass, in order to ensure the agricultural output.

Only when the big guys are fed can all other actions be promoted.

The grain stored in Yang Jiao Naluo River Castle is actually not enough.

But he's already moving towards feudalism, and he has lords under him.

Gray Wood Village is considered a territory directly under its own jurisdiction, and it can produce some food.

Lord Hayabusa Wing robbed several tribes a few days ago, annexed two of them, and grabbed a lot of food, so he could support some and return it next year.

In short, 400 of the 500 captives fell into the hands of Yang Jiao.

Yang Jiao also has a plan for how to resettle these 500 people, although there are roads connecting Hewandi and Gray Wood Village, but the population is sparse, and the dwellings are distributed along the dirt roads, which essentially belongs to the urban-rural junction area.

If the city wants to develop, it must integrate the functions of each block, for example, the main function of Ash Wood Village is trade, and the secondary function is bow making, so the vehicles and ships needed for trade, and the materials needed to make bows and arrows, can be produced using an independent handicraft workshop.

Therefore, the sparsely populated area between the original river bay and the gray wood village should be used for what function is also about to come out.

Yang Jiao wanted to build a timber processing workshop here, which would connect with the upstream and downstream industries, including timber transportation, boat and car making, and supply the needs between Hewandi and Greywood Village.

Some of the slaves were to be assigned to work in the workshops, while the other part was given to the slavers below, even though they had no success in the campaign.

So why can anyone get slaves, and what kind of slave owners can get these slaves?

Those who are willing to be demolished.

Whoever does not know that the land on the alluvial plains of the river bend is fertile and has high grain production, and there is no benefit for them to relocate to the land between the two settlements, they will definitely not want to.

Of course, Yang Li can use the power of the leader to force them to do it, but this is not the way to rule harmoniously for a long time, and it is better to induce some benefits.

It may be that slave owners who were previously assigned more slaves were less willing to relocate, but families who had not had enough slaves before were easily moved by this condition.

So after thinking about it properly, Yang Jiao really received more than 400 people from the Xuanyuan clan, and they were all young and middle-aged men, which can be said to have made a lot of money.

Xuanyuan Decheng began to divide other loot, the most sought-after of which belonged to the commercial products transported by the Mojiao clan.

Exquisite shells, OEM furs, cards removed from the miner, and bags you can't afford, in short, there are plenty of them and a lot of variety.

In terms of meritorious deeds, the families of the war dead can also receive a large amount of compensation.

Yang Li nodded again and again from the side, the reason why the big clan is a big clan is that it needs such a reasonable mechanism to operate and maintain, Xuanyuan Decheng's second son Xuanyuan is close to his dead eldest brother, and he is also a calm and calm person, and he is likely to be a candidate for the next patriarch.

In this battle, Xuanyuan took more than a dozen of his brothers to fight in the Chinese army, resisted Leng Fei's assault, and protected the injured Xuanyuan Decheng, nearly half of them were killed in the battle, and the rest were all injured.

Yang Li was very curious, those goods used for trade were piled up in the chieftain's mansion like a hill, and Xuanyuan didn't know which one to choose.

Xuanyuan looked left and right, and finally pinched a small thing out, which seemed to be an ornament.

Hey, I thought I could choose a fur coat or something.

Yang Li continued to observe, but found that the young man took the jewelry and walked straight to him, and what was clearly in his hand was a pearl necklace.

Xuanyuan put the necklace into Yang Jiao's hand, and then said to everyone in a loud voice: "Everyone, my life was saved by the leader of Yang Da, so the first trophy I chose was given to him." ”

Everyone applauded in unison, and even called Xuanyuan a good boy with affection and intentions.

"However," Xuanyuan looked at the need to press his hands to stop everyone's voices, and continued, "The wife of the leader of the Yang clan, her dress is really too simple, look at the girl of our Xuanyuan clan, which one is not a bun on her head and a bright moon bead in her ears, so this necklace, I gave it to the leader of Yang, in fact, it is also for the first lady of Los Angeles." ”

Everyone laughed and said that you are a young man, and you even know the joints in it, so you have already harmed other girls.

Yang Li looked left and right, and sure enough, he didn't see Yulia, he estimated that he went back to the room to coax Lori to sleep, tonight's celebration banquet was held for a long time, and judging from the position of the Big Dipper, it was close to midnight.

Well, it's not in vain that I rushed to support you last night, Yang Jiao touched Xuanyuan's head: "Yes, then I'll take it." ”

At the end of the spoils distribution conference, Yang Jiao finally got out, and summed it up, in this battle, he honed the cavalry, got the prisoners, and at the same time had a further relationship with the Xuanyuan clan.

Returning to the accommodation wooden house arranged by the Xuanyuan clan, Yang Li gently pushed open the door, the fireplace inside was blazing, Yulia seemed to be asleep half-sitting on the bed, and Xiao Zhenmi was sleeping roughly, and had already kicked over half of the quilt.

Carefully pulling the corners of Lori's quilt, Yang Li took out the necklace and began to draw on the girl's neck, which seemed to be just the right size.

After comparing for a while, he found that Mao Mei's curved long eyelashes were shaking slightly, but she didn't wake up, so Yang Li began to do evil, and his hands were no longer honest, and he attacked in all directions.

Yulia's face flushed, she suddenly opened her eyes, and made a very fierce expression, but Yang Li was not afraid at all, and glared back, the girl was slightly distracted by the beautiful color of the pearl necklace, and then her whole body was suppressed.

"Don't be here." Yulia struggled a few times, but she was afraid of waking Zhen Mi, so she could only put her mouth close to Yang Li's ear, exhaling like an orchid, and pleading in a low voice.

Okay, Yang Jiao picked up the girl horizontally with a princess and entered her room like a princess.

Three thousand words are omitted here.

When she woke up the next day, Yulia changed her hairstyle, and her original ponytail was turned into a bun, and it seemed that she had suddenly changed from a female hooligan on the streets of Moscow to a lecturer at the academy, and she needed to put glasses on the bridge of her nose.

The animal skin used to make the bed that night was burned by Yang Jiao early in the morning, saying that it fell into the fire with a shake of his hand, anyway, Chief Xuanyuan's family has a big business, and he doesn't care about this skin.

As for staying in the Xuanyuan clan for two more days, plus the inconvenience of Yulia's horseback riding, naturally no one will say much.

In short, two days later, Yang Jiao took more than 20 cavalry, more than 400 slaves on a leash, and some gifts from the Xuanyuan tribe, and embarked on the road back to Los Angeles.
