Chapter 0297: Rogue War

Since the beginning of the spice embargo on the South Vendura grasslands, the war between Bukui and the four major tribes has officially begun. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's just that this war really doesn't feel like a war, and it's kind of like a game. In the words of the four major tribes, it is fighting a gang of stinky scoundrels.

The prefectural corps was divided into parts, and with the company as a unit, it went deep into the southern Wendura grassland and the Wendula mountains. From time to time, he will harass the leaders of the four major tribes and the upper echelons of each tribe.

As long as you meet it, it doesn't matter how many people on the other side are, you will go up and fight randomly, and then turn around and run. Even if the other party has few people, he can obviously capture the leaders alive, but he doesn't catch them, so he lets go of the opportunity in vain.

Although those steppe cavalrymen are also very brave, they are also quite a headache in the face of this rogue tactic.

They wanted to surround them, but before the encirclement could be closed, the Bukui people ran away.

I wanted to chase after it, but I couldn't.

The war horses of the Fu Corps are fast, have good endurance, and are well-trained, which are much better than the war horses of the tribal warriors.

What's even more infuriating is that while these people are harassing, they don't forget to continue to publicize.

Whenever there was an opportunity, he preached to the subordinates how the leaders did not pay tribute to the imperial court, and how to press the isobaric scales when purchasing the goods of the subordinates. When selling goods to the subordinates, they are adulterated, shoddy, hoarded, and price hikes.

In particular, when it comes to tea, salt, and other substances necessary for the daily life of the people, they are publicized in detail.

The details are so detailed that the price of salt and tea in the place of origin, the freight is listed, and the price given to the head man is listed, which shows how much money the imperial court lost in order to transport these things here, and how much money the head man sold to the people.

In the end, the subordinates knew that they had spent a high price on these things that the imperial court had sold to them at a loss. All the money in it is made by the leaders.

The reason why Jia Min chose salt and tea is because they are indispensable livelihood products in daily production and life.

Meat and milk account for a large proportion of the diet of these tribesmen, so tea occupies an important position in the balance of the diet.

The application of salt is mainly human edible salt, livestock edible salt and food salting salt.

It can be said that all the tribes are inseparable from these two things.

The second is that these two things are used in large quantities, and the leaders are the most ruthless in exploiting them, which is one of their main sources of income.

The purpose of revealing these truths to the tribes is to divide the relationship between the tribes and the leaders. Let the leaders lose their mass base.

On the surface, the means of controlling the tribes of the head are controlled through the relationship between tribes, clans, and families, but in fact, they still control resources in their bones.

Control is carried out through the means of production such as pastures, forests, and water sources, as well as the means of subsistence such as salt and tea, as well as the market monopoly of the sales channels of the products.

Through this economic dependence, the personal dependence of the subordinates on the leader is realized, so as to achieve the purpose of driving the subordinates to fight for them.

If the subordinates could get these things from other sources at a lower price, they would be much less dependent on the Leader or even no longer dependent.

Even if you are forced to come out and follow under pressure, you can shirk it in every possible way, and even work without help.

Therefore, Jia Min took the second measure.

As long as the grassland tribes come to Bukui, they can buy these materials at official prices.

Although the imperial court controls these strategic substances, the price of these materials is very favorable.

Bukui and even the entire north of Shengjing do not produce salt and tea. Salt is produced on the southern coast of the Northeast, and tea is transported entirely from the south. If the market price is followed, plus freight and taxes, the price of these substances will be much higher, the same as the market price.

In fact, the official price is much lower than the market price. This is actually subsidized by the imperial court.

However, the benefits of the imperial court subsidy were not obtained by the ordinary ministers, but were filled by the leaders.

Over time, this part alone is a huge amount. That's why the competition for the position of the tribal leader is so fierce, and in many cases even bloody.

That's because there's a huge stake in it.

It is precisely because of this that Jia Min believes that the leaders have the financial resources to pay tribute.

The doorway in this is clear, educated in the Han region, and understands the plum blossoms of the Han land and the imperial court system. That's why she objected to letting the tribesmen's children go to school in Bukui.

What she is afraid of is that after these children have culture, they will understand the truth.

Therefore, the actions of Lamei and other leaders are essentially just the embodiment of the foolish people's thoughts.

This measure of economic division caused panic among the tribal leaders. So they prevented their subordinates from going to Bukui to buy goods.

This caused Jia Min's first relatively large head-on battle with the tribe.

This engagement was actually a seduction battle.

The Fu Corps concentrated a large amount of salt, tea, ironware, and spices on the side of the Erdaojiang ferry near Bukui, and announced to the tribesmen of various tribes that they had discounts for three consecutive days, attracting them to come and buy them.

Secretly, Jia Min gathered 1,200 members of the government corps and Dai Zhi's newly built 30 Franc machine cannons, waiting for the leaders to take the bait.

There was no movement for the first two days, and on the night of the third day, the Luosun tribe finally couldn't hold its breath.

Luo Muge led more than 700 people to sneak attack, trying to rob these goods. When he was crossing the river, he was bombarded by the government corps that had been ambushed here for a long time, followed by a volley of crossbow arrows.

Before the soldiers of the Luosun tribe could go ashore, more than a hundred people died, and as a result, they fled in confusion, and Luo Muge was also seriously injured.

Lamei was originally going to rob it, but when she saw that Luo Muge was deceived, she didn't dare to fight this idea.

After that, the war returned to its previous pattern. The soldiers constantly harassed the upper echelons of the tribe, catching artisans and those who had escaped.

All of a sudden, the craftsmen and shamans on the grasslands of South Wendura were panicked, and the plants and trees were all soldiers. Many artisans who had come in from outside also withdrew from the grassland.

The consequences of the shortage of craftsmen soon became apparent.

The car broke down and no one repaired it. The horseshoe is about to be replaced, no one changes it, no one cooks the skin, and they can only watch it rot, and people and livestock are sick, and no one will cure it. Please ask God if God can't find a shaman, and Zhang Luo can't find a matchmaker for his marriage.......

The normal order of production and life on the grassland has been completely disrupted. There were many complaints up and down.

On the side of the Fu Corps, I originally thought that fighting was a confrontation between the two sides, and then a charge and fighting, but I didn't expect that there would be such a way of fighting.

However, they also knew that this was Commander Min asking them to train their troops, so they didn't dare to slack off.

After harassing on the grassland, when they came back, the soldiers discussed together, summed up their experiences, studied tactics, and then wrote down their experiences, and then communicated with each other, learned from each other's strengths, and improved together.

In addition to summing up tactical tactics, the officers also conducted sand table operations and war games.

Wei Ruolan and Jia Qin's military intelligence department infiltrated the grassland to reconnoitre, and when they came back, they drew maps and made sand tables.

The basic skills of officers such as drawing, map reading, sand table, and war games were trained by Jia Min when they were at home in the past, and now they are here, which can be regarded as formal application, and they are constantly summarized and improved.

Wei Ruoshui was ordered to set up an "owl special operations detachment" and conducted arduous training every day, preparing to carry out special operations tasks when necessary.

Jia Min's repeated defeats and repeated battles in the recital refer to this kind of attack and harassment warfare, which is marked by the tactics of the government corps to fight and run.

In the eyes of the tribal forces, they also won every battle, and in the eyes of many people in Bukui, the government army was also defeated in every battle.

However, they all ignored the fact that after more than two months of fighting, only three people were killed in the army and only a dozen were wounded.

As for Jia Min's request for 30,000 more troops, it was completely a smokescreen bomb he released. He didn't expect the court to give him more troops at all.

The reason for this is just to keep most of the money after collecting the tribute in the future, so that it is easy to bargain with the imperial court.

With enough money in his hands, he can carry out construction and develop the economy in Bukui. Bu Kui has strong economic strength to be able to gain a firm foothold in this lonely place.

The No. 18 Guanzhuang located in Luowanzi has now more than tripled in size.

The original head of the village, Du Qingshan, now has a new official title: the director of the Bukui Experimental Farm.

The functions of No. 18 Guanzhuang have also undergone a fundamental change. From the original simple agricultural production, to the experiment and popularization of agricultural technology.

From the group of farmers brought by Xiucai, more than a dozen people have now been transferred here, and they are given land, livestock, and farm tools. In addition, there is some migrant labor that is used by them.

They are tasked with experimenting with new agricultural technologies. The aim is to sum up the experience and carry out large-scale promotion in the future.

Broadly speaking, Bukui has almost unlimited land resources. At present, less than 2 percent of the land area that has been cultivated for cultivation accounts for less than 2 percent of all land area in Bukui. Most of the remaining land is also suitable for reclamation. And as long as it is reclaimed, it is high-quality black soil.

If you add the entire Windula grassland, there is even more land that can be cultivated.

Therefore, it makes perfect sense to say that Bukui is a virgin land.

The project that Jia Min focused on developing at the Luowanzi Experimental Farm is a kind of cash crop -- tobacco in the planting industry.

In the breeding industry, there are mainly two projects, one is reindeer and the other is marten.

At present, there are no reindeer and mink in captivity. Jia Min plans to artificially breed these two projects through artificial domestication.

If this road is followed, it will produce huge social and economic benefits in the future.

Accompanied by Du Qingshan, Jia Min came to a mink house, a man and a woman, two blonde and blue-eyed Westerners. It's busy here.
