Chapter 288: Helpless Lao Gao (Medium)
But the development of things was diametrically opposed to Fan Fuzi's expectations, the army marched all the way in the deep mountains and dense forests, not only did not encounter the attack of the barbarians, but the tribes along the way instead ate pot pulp and entertained Wang Shi, a group of people looking forward to liberation, which made Fan Zhen's jaw drop.
Fan Zhen knew that this was naturally the credit of Chen Ke, who opened the way in front of him, but he really couldn't figure it out, this person only brought five or six hundred people, and half of them were the champions of Yiren, what kind of magic power did he have, who could be loved by everyone and see flowers bloom?
With a stomach full of doubts, he had people escort him to catch up with the front army. At first glance, he was stunned, and saw that the camp was full of people, which one was five or six hundred? Five or six thousand! And there are all kinds of strange appearances, some are covered with blue cloth, some are wearing nose rings, some are draped with hair, and some have paint on their faces...... It looks like the ethnic minorities in the southwest are holding congresses.
"Protect the boss!" The guards were also stunned and hurriedly protected Fan Zhen behind them.
Compared with the indifference of Fan Fuzi and his party, the people of all ethnic groups in the camp were silent, just looking at this Han official curiously.
"What's going on?" Fan Zhen's face was a little unbearable, pushed away the guards who were blocking him, and asked the soldiers who came to greet him, "What are these people doing here?" ”
"Returning to the marshal, they are soldiers recruited by Judge Chen." The soldier smiled bitterly: "Although it looks scary, it is actually very honest, and the marshal can rest assured." ”
"What do I have to worry about...... Fan Zhen said with a red face.
Joining the army welcomed Fan Zhen into the camp tent and asked people to serve wine and food to his guards, but Fan Zhen in the tent served tea.
"Where's Judge Chen?" Fan Zhen took a sip of Pu'er, which was as red as blood, and asked.
"He and General Nong. There are also some people who have gone to the nearby tribes as guests. The army replied.
"Guest?" Fan Zhen was puzzled: "Does Judge Chen know them?" ”
"I don't know, but Judge Chen said that once I was born, I was mature twice, and I was closer than my relatives in the third time."
"What kind of mess...... Fan Zhen shook his head vigorously and asked the soldier, "When will Judge Chen come back?" ”
"Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow morning, but the locals are welcoming. So it's likely to keep him staying. ”
"Hey......" Fan Zhen was completely speechless, in his concept, noble scholars should keep a distance from those rude and lowly brutes, how can they get along? This new champion is really out of character and out of place.
However, he was still very curious about Chen Ke's actions and asked, "Could it be that Judge Chen is all the way." That's how it all came over? ”
"Exactly," the army nodded: "These days, Judge Chen has only returned to the camp a few times, and every time he comes back, he brings thousands of young men from various departments, saying that he recruited soldiers, and wants to give him a good life education." Then he took the gift and went to worship the mountain. ”
"Blind toss...... Does it work? Fan Zhen muttered, but there was no need for anyone to answer, facts speak louder than words. So Fan Fuzi changed his words again: "How did he do it? ”
"The lower officer also asked the soldiers who were recruited by Judge Chen." The soldier smiled bitterly and said, "Judge Chen seems to have a kind of magic power. Those barbarian leaders who are very wary of us trust him very much, and often drink wine for a day, they can cut off chicken heads, burn yellow paper, and become the alliance brothers who change posts. ”
'The Great Song Dynasty champion actually bowed to the little barbarian leader, is there any discipline at all? Fan Fuzi couldn't help but feel dizzy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
is really as the one who joined the army said, in the eyes of those barbarian leaders, Chen Ke is definitely loved by everyone and flowers blooming.
Despite the large force of 30,000 elite Old Western Army, Chen Ke still did not want to clash with the tribes along the way...... In order to ensure the smooth march of the army, in order to ensure the safety of the waterway in the future. In order to gain a foothold in Dali, he wants to turn those barbarians in the eyes of the Song people into friends as much as possible, and use them for my use.
…,
When he told Wang Han about this idea. Wang Han did not feel that Chen Ke was unrealistic and unorthodox like Fan Zhen. On the contrary, he was impressed by him and thought that he was quite a set.
The vast majority of court officials. They all have a heart that is not of our race, and their hearts must be different, so they are very hostile to those barbarians who are on guard in every possible way. But in fact, this has further intensified the contradictions between the two sides. So that the southwestern frontier of the Great Song Dynasty was not peaceful.
But in the eyes of Wang Han, an old official who has been on the border for many years, in fact, many times, the barbarians do not want to rebel...... They simply don't have the strength to occupy the cities of the Great Song Dynasty, let alone follow Li Yuanhao's example and open the country. Their actions are actually more appropriate to say robbery, and most of the robberies are the most basic daily necessities.
To put it bluntly, he is so poor that he has no pants to wear haha, seeing that his neighbor's house is full of silk and satin, do you think he can not be blushing? Can you do a vote without pumping cold?
But robbery will kill people, if you let them know that as long as they are obedient, they will have clothes to wear, meat to eat, and they can become the coveted officials of the Celestial Empire, how many more people are willing to rebel?
Of course, the premise of everything is that you still have a big stick in your hand to be able to stop them.
After four years of suppressing bandits, after making the people of Guangyuan Prefecture suffer enough, Wang Han extended an olive branch. Sure enough, with the title of Zhongwu General, plus some ploughing cattle, salt, and cloth, the new leader of Guangyuanman, Nong Zongdan, was attached to the clan and became the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
Moreover, after Nong Zongdan became the general of Zhizhou in the Great Song Dynasty, he showed unexpected positivity. Within a few months, several tribes were pulled one after another to request to be attached, and they would always be the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
Since Nong Zhigao's incident, the imperial court also changed its attitude and began to accept the border detention of the state annex, so Wang Han asked for official rewards for them, all of which were approved by the imperial court. By this month, half of the tribes in Guangyuan Prefecture had become the subjects of the imperial court, the leaders were officials, the subordinates were rewarded, and the top and bottom were satisfied, so naturally there would be no more trouble.
Wang Han firmly believed that his successful experience could be used by Chen Ke, and he wanted to see if this champion would be pretentious and unwilling to put down his body to deal with those barbarians. I didn't expect people to bring it up first.
However, Wang Han admired Chen Ke's courage even more, after all, Guangyuan Prefecture was still the territory of the Great Song Dynasty in name, and Chen Ke wanted to step out of the country and enter the vacuum of the Great Song Dynasty's power to appease those fierce and barbaric tribes whose temperament was difficult to fathom.
To put it unlucky, if there is a discord in words and a knife is drawn, people can directly chop him up and drink without any difficulty.
But Chen Ke brought hundreds of people...... And it was mainly for him to carry gifts, with Nong Zongdan and others as guides, he dared to step out of the country like relatives and friends, and worship the mountain door to door.
Liu Yue'e blamed Chen Ke for not taking his life seriously, but Chen Ke smiled and said nothing. Of course, he is not stupid and bold, although he is a little risky, but he is still sure of his safety.
Because he is not alone in the fight. First, the two sides have no grievances in the past and no enmity in the near future. And the 30,000 elite Song army was not far behind him, and those tribal leaders didn't dare to touch a single hair of his hair unless the old birthday star ate arsenic--tired of life.
Second, the Great Song Dynasty in this era had a much higher degree of civilization than any country in the world. In the eyes of barbarians and aliens at this time, the Song Dynasty was the kingdom of heaven and a great kingdom. The Song people were excellent and noble people in their eyes. Therefore, foreign countries and barbarians always treat the Song people, especially the big officials of the Song Dynasty, with respect, and even respect them like gods.
The people of the Song Dynasty had every reason to regard any foreign country or alien race as a barbarian, and they did exactly that. Now, Chen Ke treats them with an approachable, almost equal attitude, how can the barbarian leaders not be flattered? How could it harm this noble, merciful and merciful Great Song champion?
The three, and the most important, Chen Ke came with the gospel.
Usually, after establishing initial trust, he first asks Nong Zongdan and others to come forward to tell about his happy life after he has been attached. When the chiefs of the tribes heard the water, he told them - you can do the same, and you can do better!
…,
He promised that after attaching it, he would not only have the same official position and reward. There was also a fixed annual income - the imperial court would build a water and drought passage from Dali to Yongzhou, and Chen Ke appointed them as road guards, promising to pay them for every boat or car they passed. They can also order supplies from the copper ship to be delivered on their return trip.
He even promised that in the future, after they became rich, they could also go to Dali to run mines and become respected merchants of the Great Song Dynasty......
In addition, he also recruited a group of soldiers with the same treatment as the Great Song Forbidden Army. Although no one wants to lose the strong man, Chen Ke's conditions are too generous - it is the same treatment as the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, if a male is selected, he will definitely live a better life than the patriarch.
Of course, it was impossible to compare with the patriarch, because Chen Ke secretly promised the patriarchs that for every soldier recruited, he would subsidize the tribe with 500 wen per month......
There are both painting cakes and immediate benefits, Chen Ke has a series of sugar-coated cannonballs falling, and none of the barbarian leaders can parry-
Partition -
Today, my brother got married, and there are relatives who came to see the little monk, and I am tired. There is only one chapter......
The fly in the ointment is that these brutes are a bit hypocritical, obviously willing in their hearts, but they still have to be reserved on their faces, so they have to toss Chen Ke to get rid of him.
For example, in Heishui Mountain, the chief Ah Mao had to fight with Chen Ke for wine, saying that if he won him, he would all listen to the Lord of the Celestial Empire, but if he lost, then he had to discuss again.
Thanks to Chen Ke, drinking those self-brewed village wines is like drinking water. The two drank from noon to night, and from night to morning, before they drank Ah Mao under the table. When Ah Mao woke up and finally threw himself to him, he cut off the head of the chicken and burned yellow paper...... Do you think it's so easy to bow down?
In addition to drinking, there are also archery, strength, and hunting...... forced Chen Ke to do his best to convince the leaders of all walks of life-
