After some research, a strategy was developed to deal with the four major tribes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This strategy is a three-step process.

The first step is to salute first and then soldier, which is actually a war of public opinion.

The second part is the economic punishment of the four major tribes. Including economic sanctions and technological blockades.

The third step is a military strike.

At present, in terms of total strength, the number of the four major tribes far exceeds that of Bukui, so put this trick last.

This was both to gain time to prepare, and to show weakness to the four tribes in order to paralyze them.

After a few people returned, they stayed in the barracks and were not allowed to go out. Announcing to the outside world, it is said that a few of them have gone to the four major tribes as envoys, and they have not yet returned. It was scattered everywhere that it was a plum blossom and threw a few people to the grassland to feed the wolves.

The aim is to occupy the moral high ground.

However, this alone is not enough. The most favorable killer feature is the "Covenant of Vendura".

The Covenant of Wendura was a covenant signed between the imperial court and various tribes on the steppes of Wendura more than 100 years ago when the Dade Dynasty was first established.

The four tribes of the southern Wendura steppes and the Tatars of the northern Vendura steppes were all signatories to this covenant.

The main content of the covenant was that the tribes submitted to the imperial court and recognized them as obedient people of the Dade Dynasty. The Dade dynasty provided them with security and financial assistance to the various steppe tribes.

When necessary, the imperial court had the right to establish a state and county system on the grasslands, garrison troops on the grasslands, send officials to govern, and collect taxes.

This article is a foundation, which legally establishes that the land and inhabitants of the Windula steppe belong to the Dade Dynasty.

The main obligations of the various tribes of the steppe are: the head people enter the imperial capital every two years to worship and pay tribute, bear half of the military expenses of the imperial court garrison in Bukui, and the heads of each tribe must be canonized by the imperial court in order to obtain legal status and inheritance.

This "Covenant of Undura" was originally carved into several stone tablets, which were scattered throughout Bukui and the grasslands.

To this day, in front of the Yamen of the Dusi, the stele is still standing there.

On the sacred mountain in the South Ondura grassland, near the Undula Mountain, there is still such a stone monument.

It's just that because it's been so old, basically no one pays attention to it anymore. The stele has been obscured by trees and weeds.

Even today, few people in the tribes know about the "Covenant of Windura".

After the signing of the covenant, due to the peace in the world, the imperial court reduced its army, and did not garrison troops on the Wendura grassland.

At that time, the Wendura grassland had just experienced war and was in urgent need of recuperation. In addition, the financial constraints of the imperial court did not implement the provisions for the establishment of prefectures and counties, the dispatch of civil officials and the collection of taxes.

Not only that, Emperor Taizu also issued a decree to exempt each tribe from paying tribute for twenty years and the garrison fee of Bukui.

However, some of the provisions of the covenant were still enforced.

The terms of the imperial court's economic support for the steppe tribes have been implemented. The symbol of these terms was that the imperial court gave the steppe tribes a certain quota of iron, tea, spices and other strategic materials every year, as well as trade convenience and technical support.

The sign of technical support is to allow craftsmen from the interior to enter and bring technology into the grasslands.

In the first two decades, the system of worship and canonization was also observed by the steppe tribes.

The reason for compliance is mainly driven by economic interests.

The court was very generous to the rewards they received for their pilgrimage, and every time they brought a little gift, they would receive a reward that far exceeded the value of the gift.

Therefore, at that time, although it was stipulated that the worship was once every two years, these tribes went to worship almost every year, in order to get more rewards from the imperial court.

Twenty years later, Emperor Taizu died, the leaders of the older generation gradually passed away, and the court paid less and less attention to the Wendura grassland.

Successive generations of Ningguta generals, either lacking vision or limited energy, paid less and less attention to Bukui. For the various tribes of the Wendura grassland, they are almost blind. As long as they don't come to cause trouble, they don't bother to deal with them.

At first, the main purpose of the garrison in Bukui was to monitor and deter the Windula steppe. However, as Bukui became a penal colony for the exiles, the function of Bukui gradually changed. Gradually, it became a management agency for the flow of people.

Its main positioning, the function of monitoring and deterring the Windula grassland, has gradually faded.

In the last seventy or eighty years, the tribes of the Windura steppe have almost forgotten that there is still a covenant.

The worship system is in vain, and no one goes to the imperial capital to worship. The heads of each tribe alternated, but they just grabbed it themselves, and they didn't take the procedure of canonization of the court in their eyes at all.

Paying tribute and collecting taxes, they simply don't have this awareness. As for the establishment of prefectures and counties and imperial court garrisons, it is even more unthinkable. When Bukui's officers and soldiers arrived at the grassland, they all dared to fight, let alone others?

Therefore, in the past seventy or eighty years, except for the imperial court's economic support for the grasslands, other favorable provisions of the Vindura Covenant have never been enforced.

On the contrary, the terms of the imperial court's support for them have always been unilaterally emphasized by them, and they have regarded them as one of their natural rights.

Yang Lin came in with a piece of paper in his hand.

"How is it, Yang Dianshi, have you figured it out?"

Jia Min asked.

Others were also curious, and they all wanted to know how much tribute the four tribes owed to the imperial court over the years.

"Hehe, Chief Min, it's really not that I don't know, I'm shocked, if these things are all taken back, it's a huge amount of money."

Then, Yang Lin began to settle accounts.

According to the Covenant of Windura, the three tribes of Rasun, Khaki and Mailai were of one rank in terms of seventy years. Because of its large population and large size, the Iron Buddha tribe is of another rank, twice as many as other tribes.

Luo Sun and other three tribes, each tribe should pay the imperial court a tribute of 1,000 taels of silver every year, 70,000 taels in 70 years, and 140,000 taels in the Iron Buddha tribe.

100 mink skins, 7,000 in 70 years, and 14,000 iron Buddhas.

Fifty catties of deer antlers, three thousand five hundred catties in seventy years, and seven thousand catties of iron Buddha.

Twenty catties of ginseng, 1,400 catties in 70 years, and 2,800 catties of iron Buddha.

There are five pairs of Haidongqing, 350 pairs in 70 years, and 700 pairs of Iron Buddha.

It's really not that I don't know, but I'm shocked. There are so many of them.

Everyone looked at each other.

"Seventy years adds up, and it's naturally great."

"Why do you owe us so much money, and you are still so arrogant, is there any royal law in this world?"

Chen Yejun said angrily.

"Naturally, there is a royal law, but why hasn't it been used for him for so many years, they feel that there is no royal law."

"That's not all, these big people are also self-appointed by themselves, which one has been canonized by the imperial court? Therefore, these leaders are also illegal. ”

Jia Min said, stood up, and paced back and forth in the room.

"There are two kinds of people in the world, one kind of person, you are kind to him, he knows gratitude. The other kind of person, you are good to him, he thinks it is right, not only is not grateful, but thinks that you owe him. ”

"The current leaders of the four major tribes are such people. Of course, although they are all scoundrels, they are still the people of the Dade Empire after all. So, we can't hit them easily. ”

"However, it is a matter of course to kill people to pay for their lives and to repay debts. Let's just ask him to pay him back, don't we embarrass them, right? ”

"If they want to pay their bills, huh, don't blame us for being rude."

"With such a large amount of money, even if they smash the pot and sell iron, they can't get it."

Zhao Dahai still knows a lot about the situation of the four major tribes. This sentence is also true.

Such a huge fortune cannot be taken by any leader.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money, can you take something else? Pastures, forests, livestock, and populations ....... If you dare to make trouble, you must be prepared to pay the price. ”

"They will definitely not be able to come up with the money, and when the time comes, I am afraid that they will only have to fight."

Yang Lin looked a little worried.

"If they really want to fight, we will have to accompany them. However, at the moment we are only asking for money, and as for the war, we need them to go to war first. ”

"...... our troops?"

Feng Kui said half a sentence, but everyone here also understood what he meant.

At present, Bukui's forces are at a disadvantage.

Bu Kui's troops, 1,300 people in the government corps, the adapted Yizhihua bandits and the veterans of the original garrison yamen, a total of about 400 people, together, is 17,800 people.

The four major tribes of the South Wendura grassland, together with their strength, have more than 20,000 people. Moreover, many of them are soldiers and civilians, and they can go to war at any time if necessary.

It is precisely because of this huge military advantage that La Meihua is so unscrupulous in doing things, and several other leaders support her to go to war without thinking.

The little force in Jia Min's hand was not in her eyes at all.

"We have a little less troops, but it's still enough to deal with them. For so many years, they have not tasted any hardships, and this time, we will give them a military training class so that they know what war is. ”

Jia Min returned to his seat and sat down, looking full of confidence.

Feng Ziying and others are not in a hurry, but Zhao Dahai and others have no bottom in their hearts. However, since Jia Min has decided, they are powerless to change anything. I can only pray in my heart that my side is a little luckier.

"Chief of the Guards, have they found out all their undercover agents?"

"After our reconnaissance and the information that the Zhao Department garrison wants to hand over to us, it has been clarified. They can be caught at any time. ”

"Arrest on time at nine o'clock tonight, and tomorrow one tribe will send back to spread the word, and ask their leader to come to Bukui to negotiate and study the issue of how to repay the money."

Yang Dianshi drafted a proclamation to write down the situation that the three major tribes owed to the imperial court and urged them to repay the money. and that they should hand over the exiles who had escaped. Then Chief of Staff Feng organized the soldiers to copy a hundred copies, and sent a battalion to the Windula grassland tonight to distribute the proclamation. I don't need to post it, just throw it on the road, I want to call the people of those tribes, know what's going on? ”

For so many years, although the leaders of various tribes have long stopped paying tribute to the imperial court, the behavior of collecting money and goods from the subordinates in the name of paying tribute to the imperial court has not stopped.

For decades, this has been the norm among leaders. Naturally, the money they collected went into their own pockets.

As for those who escaped, they were all slaves to the upper echelons of the tribe, and ordinary people were not eligible to get them.

went to the grassland to spread the proclamation, just to let the people know the truth and divide their relationship with the leader.
