Chapter 44: The Gambling Contract

Back in the Yongle Palace, Ji Le only had time to wash his face, so he sat in the lobby again and accepted the court of the great spirits.

With the example of Dzongbu God, the great spirits have a more deferential attitude. It's just that Ji Le never opened his mouth to promote the slave again, ignoring the expectant gaze of the gods.

Subsequently, under the guidance of the woman, Ji Le threw out the nine-grade slavery, and divided the slaves of various tribes in the Xia Kingdom into three, six, nine and so on, and picked an unruly spirit to give his tribe to the Ayang tribe as a cheap slave.

After this arrangement, there is no need to worry about the great spirits connecting with each other, and if they don't shoot their heads and blossom between them, it can be regarded as restraint.

At the end, God Zongbu spoke: "Your Highness's kindness to my Ayang tribe, the little god can't repay it, and I am willing to send the last descendant to the Yongle Hall for His Highness to send." ”

He also knew that the traces of Gu Yan's cultivation of witchcraft could not be concealed at all, and instead of being pursued by the Yongle Palace, it was better to give it to Ji Le generously, and it could also strengthen the connection between the two sides.

Ji Le looked at Zongbu God and smiled: "It's okay, Yongle Hall lacks strong men to work, let him stay for the time being." ”

His Royal Highness is willing to take Gu Yan in, and he will not continue to pursue his private practice of witchcraft. In Zongbu's heart, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's it, you wait to stand down first. Ji Le noticed that Yang Ke had entered the Spirit Palace, and directly sent the Great Spirits back, ordered someone to guard the entrance to the palace, and met Yang Ke alone.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yang Ke asked directly: "The Zongbu God you summoned is the one described in "Tianwen"?"

"Exactly. Ji Le looked curious: "Do you still know about Tianwen? I thought that a descendant of Han people like you, who grew up in another world, should not know this." ”

"When I was a child, my father specially asked me to memorize a lot of classics, and "Tianwen" can be regarded as enlightenment. Yang Ke got straight to the point and said, "What is the purpose of giving the divine name of Zongbu God?"

Ji Le put down the kettle and asked, "What do you think?"

Yang Ke hesitated, uncertain: "God Generation?"

Ji Le smiled and didn't say anything, just bowed slightly.

Don't look at the ancestral spirits of the Ayang tribe who are treated well on Ji Le's side, but how can they not sell their lives for the Spirit Palace in the future? In the battles one after another, it is only that the god Zongbu can survive. If you can't survive, this god position will naturally have to be replaced. What's more, with the ancestral spirit, a ready-made great spirit spirit, it can allow Ji Le to perform another sΓ©ance. With the same source of power and gods as the fetters, the real Chinese heroes descended and launched a new Zongbu God.

And for the Ayang tribe, as long as they adapt to the Zongbu god as the clan god. After the Yi God descends, he can calmly unify the Ayang tribe and completely absorb and assimilate.

"So-" Ji Leyi pointed out: "Since Xia Jun is in charge of the country, beware of being broad-minded. ”

Those slaves seemed to be well treated, but under Ji Le's operation, they could not affect the interests of the Han people at all. Especially after the implementation of the nine-rank slavery system for women, it will further weaken the power of the slaves and make it impossible to form a resistance.

At least when the Xia Kingdom was in slavery, it was impossible to rebel against the Xia ruling class.

"By the way, the people of the Ayang tribe have already given it to me, so what do I want to do with them, don't ask for the time being. ”

Slave Army!

Yang Ke's nerves are true, but he is the most sensitive to the military and political system, and immediately guessed Ji Le's careful thoughts. But after thinking about it, he secretly thought: "There are a total of 3,000 people in the Ayang tribe, excluding the old and weak, women and children, and it is the limit to be able to pull out 500 strong men, so what about him establishing a slave army? Those slave troops are just cannon fodder." ”

He has been fighting outside all the year round, and the slave army has not been useless. Except to serve as cannon fodder, how could you expect those slaves to fight to kill the enemy?

"Whatever you want. "Getting a rough answer from Ji Le, Yang Ke didn't ask anymore.

After he left, the woman walked out of the back of the hall with a smile: "After tossing for so long, you finally got an army for that kid?"

The woman wears a skirt and a fan, but she is no different from the nobles of the Xia court.

"Sister is very suitable for this outfit. Ji Le took a sip of water, rubbed his head and said, "This is where to go." This is just the beginning, and as for how far he can go, it depends on his efforts. ”

"Looks like you trust him?"

"At least I don't think a single army of slaves can stump him. Ji Le thought about it for a while, and ordered someone to invite Yu Yu and the young man.

Hearing that he was in charge of the army, the young man's expression moved, but after thinking about it, he still shook his head: "I was planning to go to Lingshan to practice for a while later." ”

Now that Ji Le's status is stable, with Cangjie and his wife to help, he doesn't mean much anymore. It is better to take the opportunity to go to Lingshan to study martial arts and improve individual strength.

"Now?" Ji Le immediately said, "No, not now! My slave army is just about to be established, and I need the help of my own people." In addition to you, the old man, Yu Yuan, and Sister Ah have other things, who else can I trust?"

Yu Yu saw that His Royal Highness compared himself with the two predecessors who came from his homeland, and she was quite moved in her heart, and also persuaded her: "Your Excellency, what Your Highness said is that if you don't supervise this slave army, there will be a bad pool in the future, and in the end, Your Highness will suffer." ”

Hearing this, the young man's face was a little more hesitant.

The woman thought about it for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Boy, I see that you are also a person who trains soldiers." Why don't you make a bet with me, you use slave soldiers and I use female soldiers, and see which of our armies is better?"

The young man was already hesitant, but he was provoked by the woman's goodness, and immediately agreed: "Okay, then three months later, I will compete with His Highness in military exercises." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll be the referee!" Ji Le was afraid that the world would not be chaotic: "When the time comes, it will be outside the South City Gate, and the old man can also be invited to come and watch the battle." ”

"As for the reward...... Ji Le thought about it, but didn't think that the woman and the young man needed anything: "I can't think of it for the time being, and I'll talk about it then!"

"No need!" After the young man finished speaking, he pulled Yu Yuan out of the door: "Yu Yuan, I'll transfer people, and you will show me the way." ”

The two left in a hurry, and Ji Le hurriedly thanked the woman: "Thank you Sister for your help." ”

"Nothing to thank. I did plan to fight him. Rare stars learn from each other, and it is also convenient for us to progress. ”

The moment she saw the young man, she knew that he was one of his kind. Although he did not bring his own subordinates, the military aura on his body undoubtedly showed that this was a general who came out of a bloody battle.

It's just that at the moment, the woman can feel a little confused in his heart.

"If he can get through the confusion period, I really want to see what his heyday is like. ”

As if seeing the woman's relaxed and calm posture, Ji Le said with a straight face: "Sister, he is very strong. If you're careless, you'll probably lose the battle in three months' time. ”

"Perhaps. But I can tell that this kid is very young. His tactical style should be to win with surprise soldiers, fast, swift, and fierce soldiers. In comparison, a few points are lost...... Not...... What do you mean by that word?

Although the woman was helped by the fire, she was not yet proficient in the words of the later generations. But as a military master, with the exploration of the character of young people, I did see a little bit about the style of youth marching and arranging.

"In general, young people have this temper. I was like that back then, but it only matured later. ”

"Alright, let's not talk about it. I'm going to go around the city, and in two days I'm going to build my women's army. ”

......

The young man and Yu Yu went to the Ayang tribe to catch the strong men.

He set up Gu Yan as his deputy, picked five more leaders, and then asked them to start running around the Spirit Palace.

Yu Yu saw it and asked on the side: "Your Excellency, I see that the five leaders you selected seem to be ......."

These five leaders are not from the Ayang tribe, but slaves selected from other tribes.

"You know, I did it on purpose. In this way, their rights come from me, and they can't really get the allegiance of the slaves of the Ayang tribe. You must obey me in order to suppress the slaves below. ”

"As for the Ayang tribe, I don't need them to be loyal, as long as they are afraid of my virtue and can be obedient. ”

"Go back, add another rule to the slave army. If there is a rebellion or rebellion in the slave army, they will take the leader and break them up together. ”

In this way, in order to protect their own lives, these leaders must protect the interests of the slave army and oppress the slave soldiers under them. When the time comes, the young man only needs to push out a few more chiefs to vent his anger, and he can buy people's hearts and appease the slave soldiers. When the time comes, will it be better to change to your own person who gets along better?

After hearing this, Yu Yuan's expression was silent.

In the eyes of the youth, are these slaves of the other tribes just a transition?

"What, you think there's something wrong with me?"

"No, nothing. ”

Glancing at Yu Yuan, the young man slowly spoke: "These slaves, I have never regarded them as citizens. If you are a barbarian outsider, even if you are a blessing if you keep your life, do you really intend to regard them as citizens? You see, Ji Leke once regarded them as his own?"

If he becomes an official citizen, Ji Le will have a sense of it. But now, Ji Le is ruthless, and he is directly a strategy of secretly replacing the great spirits. After all, these great spirits and their tribe are not even cells in Ji Raku's body, just a group of captured enemies.

"So, without three generations of blood fusion, don't expect me to treat them as compatriots at all!"

"The politics of three generations?" Yu Yuan thought thoughtfully: "This is similar to the concept of the previous kings. ”

"There are few Han people, and they don't rely on how the indigenous people reproduce. But how to reproduce and how to assimilate, there is a doorway in this. The young man instructed: "Han people men marrying Yi women is the easiest strategy. But this kind of assimilation is not safe, and only three generations of blood exchange and assimilation, and continuous education with the righteousness of Zhuxia, can barely be regarded as a Han people. ”

In the eyes of the young man, these slave soldiers in front of him were just accessories of the Spirit Palace.

"Don't think I'm cruel. There was an even more brutal set of methods against the slave army. ”

Yu Yu didn't want to hear the young man's words at all, but she couldn't help but be curious, so she still asked, "Would you like to hear it?"

"Dead soldiers! Keep these slaves in special places and train them to be dead soldiers who only know how to kill. In my time, there were already similar methods, just a little too disgusting. ”

The young man was fierce and murderous, and he killed countless foreign enemies. can see that the countries are cultivating the dead between the dead, and they still can't help frowning.

"I don't care to concoct these slaves with that kind of spiritually crushing means. As long as they are honest and obedient, according to the nine-grade slavery system, they can also improve their taste when they turn back. It can even be rewarded and given a name, as a foreign surname. ”

In the youth era, if there were foreigners who sincerely took refuge, the emperor would give the Han surname and encourage the other party to sinicize. The young man himself had a similar experience, and the boy was given the name "Jin", and later became an important minister of the emperor of his family.

Thinking of that kid, the young man frowned, and pointed to the bone face who was leading the running in the distance: "If this kid is really sinicized and regards himself as a citizen of the Xia Kingdom, turn around and let Ji Le be gracious and give him your surname." ”

"Butβ€”Yu Yuan, are there any beasts around or something? When you go back, you still have to look for any evil beasts or foreign enemies nearby that they can see blood. ”

"The monarch has frequent battles, where is there an enemy near the left? If you really want to say it, it is Nanyu Mountain. ”

"That's a bit far, and Yang Ke definitely won't let me follow, and I can't be too far away from Ji Le. When the young man thought of this, he was a little disappointed.

But within a few days, the young man and the unpolished slave army got a chance.

The next move cast by the god of war finally broke out in the Xia Kingdom.
