Chapter 584: The Generals on the Prairie

This may sound a bit unrelated, but this is the fastest and most reliable way, first as a horse bandit to rob a small tribe, expand the team of their own horse gang, and then wait for a certain amount of things to become a nomadic tribe.

They are not the first to have such cases, the rise and fall of tribes on the steppe are very common, and such cases abound, and this method is just in line with the tastes of these generals.

They may be a little blind if you let them engage in business development games, but they are still very good at robbing them, not to mention that there is an intelligence department that provides them with the latest and most complete information and maps.

The six people gathered together first, plus the sixty or seventy horsemen under his command can be regarded as a wave of small horse bandits, but the combat effectiveness of this horse bandit is not ordinary, under the guidance of Yan Qing, they first attacked a small tribe of more than a hundred adult laborers, killed the tribal chief, and recruited these herdsmen.

In a slave society like Mongolia, where the herders were the personal property of the chiefs, what was the treatment of slaves? Everyone knows it, so you expect your property to have feelings for you, that's impossible.

These herders seemed to have changed their masters, so the imaginary resistance did not appear, and the next work was not to grab more tribes and populations, but to start the feudal reform of the tribes.

To put it simply, the chief's sheep, cattle and horses are divided according to the head and rented to these herdsmen, and the surplus except for the fixed cattle, sheep or money for a year is owned by the herdsmen themselves.

This is the same as farming to the landlord to lease the land, why Zhang San didn't directly distribute the cattle and sheep to the herdsmen, this is also afraid that the progress will be too fast to the egg, the society is still developing step by step, the two Ryukyu have not been modernized, it is impossible for the grassland to come first.

But just such a change is inconceivable for the herdsmen, after the reform of the herdsmen burst out of unprecedented enthusiasm, the herdsmen who used to need to urge to drive the cattle and sheep out to graze now at dawn to drive the cattle and sheep up the hillside, before regardless of the cattle and sheep running all over the mountain, now also know to care about whether the cattle and sheep are healthy.

The second step was successfully completed, and then a group of recruits were received, and the formation of a standing cavalry formation began, and the robbery of other tribes was completed, and in this way, with the combined efforts of the six, the first tribe of 1,000 people was formed in less than two months.

With the first one, the latter things are even better, Zhang San successively sent them 600 cavalry, each 100 as a team, from the beginning of spring in February they entered the grassland to the end of May, six people have established their own tribes.

The faster ones are already close to 1,500 people, and the slower ones have just transformed from horse bandits to tribes, and Shi Wengong, as the big brother, naturally carries forward his style, so his tribe has just reached 800 people, and he also wondered in his heart when he received Zhang Sanhui's order to report on his work, why didn't anyone else have to go back and let him go back by himself?

Knowing that he saw Zhang San's private message, he knew that this was the case, and it happened that Shi Wengong planned to train the cavalry for two months before annexing another large tribe of 1,000 people, and he happened to have free time, so he handed over the team to Yan Qing and immediately rushed to the east.

Along the way, he changed horses at the merchant inn and continued to travel eastward until he got on the merchant ship on the side of the Heilongjiang River, and he did not feel the slightest inconvenience along the way, Shi Wengong suddenly remembered what Zhang San said, "Fighting is logistics!" ’

The merchant inn on this road is an important part of Zhangsan's grassland strategy, there are no cities on the grassland, because all the tribes are nomadic, but there is really no need for cities on the grassland? Apparently not.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Zhang San launched the business inn plan, the so-called business inn is to open a shop with several stores in a place with abundant water and grass, or on a traffic artery.

For the safety of the shops, this kind of shops are generally designed in the shape of a fortress, and the shops have salt, tea, iron, medicine, cloth, etc., which are necessary for the grassland people, and the first batch of shops Zhang San plans to build a hundred.

Ensure that the eastern part of the steppe is spread out first, after all, the entire Mongolian Plateau is more than two million square kilometers, even if there are a thousand merchant inns, one hundred kilometers can not be done, and Zhang San also has to look at the attitude of the Mongols towards the merchant inn.

In case these barbarians come to rob every day, then if Zhang San builds too much at once, wouldn't that be equivalent to delivering food to others? However, after the initial construction, the communication and material supply of their six tribes can be guaranteed.

Subsequently, these six tribes will gradually migrate to various areas of the grassland with the expansion of the Shang Inn, and gradually evolve into regional large tribes, this plan will take at least three years to implement, and then it will take more time to occupy the entire grassland.

When Shi Wengong arrived in Beihai Province, he was just in time for a fast boat to go back to Tamsui Shi Wengong happened to take this ship, and when he got on the boat, he knew that this ship was actually a task force to the east, although Shi Wengong was not very familiar with Huo Tingen, but he knew the purpose of this fleet at the beginning.

On the ship were the crops that the fleet found according to Zhang San's request, Shi Wengong didn't think there was anything special at a glance, but Shi Wengong, who Zhang San specially explained, still didn't dare to move.

After a brief replenishment of Zhenwa Island, the fleet gathered five warships and headed for Tamsui Castle, where Shi Wengong learned from the newspaper that Ryukyu was about to go to war with a country called Chola again.

Originally, the ships of the Ryukyu Native Fleet were sufficient, but Zhang San still decided to send a group of warships from various fleets, the first is to train the soldiers of each fleet, and the second is to sum up the experience of new naval warfare, and the second is the idea of strong cadres and weak supports.

Many of the strategies of the Great Song Dynasty are not bad or wrong, but there is something wrong with the people who implement them, or some policies are not perfect at all, for example, this way of sending troops with strong cadres and weak branches is very right.

Otherwise, Zhang San sent out all the fleet of the Ryukyus, and the soldiers of the main island of the Ryukyus were also transferred to the south, and then Tamsui City would be empty, and any fleet would kill back to the Ryukyus and give Zhang San a mutiny, Zhang San really had no place to cry.

It is not that there is a tendency for any general to rebel now, but that Zhang San wants to stifle this possibility from the system, after all, Zhang San still has this deterrent power, but Zhang San cannot guarantee that his descendants also have this kind of strength.

Shi Wengong followed the fleet to Tamsui City and was given a grand reception, but unfortunately it was not for him, but for the sake of the ship transporting plants, Zhang San was even more excited to board the ship and watch these crops one by one.

In order to prevent accidents, Huo Tingen not only transported back the seeds of these crops but also transported back a large number of seedlings, Zhang San watched them one by one, and immediately arranged for people to plant and manage, especially seeing the three kinds of corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, Zhang San felt that he had obtained the strongest artifact in this Central Plains hegemony battle.
