Ma Ling pondered for a long time, looked at the vast Aral Sea in front of him, and nodded heavily.

The Blue Turkic aristocracy was able to rule over Turks with different surnames dozens of times their own, the Zhaowu Nine caste was able to rule over more than 100 of their own indigenous people, and the Persians under the rule of the Arabians and Yemenis were also more than ten times their own population. What these nations can do, why can't the Tang people do it?

What Fang Wen said was actually colonial rule, but it was the most cruel way of colonization, killing the conquered foreign men and turning women and children into slaves.

This is the usual means by which the steppe barbarians strengthen themselves, and it has been proven to be feasible.

Of course, for these slaves to become Han people, they also need education, integration, which will take several generations to complete.

The Han civilization has enough integration ability, this is definitely not a problem, from the feudal world of the Western Zhou Dynasty to the present, the large area of land newly occupied by the Han nation, where is not completely integrated, completely covered by the Han civilization?

It's a pity that his time in the river is short, otherwise the scene of the Eighth Army ruling millions of alien races in the river might really be realized. I only hope that Li Longji can live a few more years, live longer than in history, and give himself more time.

However, at the moment, it is extremely feasible to divide some bachelors from the Anhua army to the hometown of Huoxun to rule over the women and children of these Huoxun people, and form a slave Tang tribe.

Women are always dependent on men, and children are the most malleable, as the history of the steppe barbarians has proved.

Since the battle of the first army of Mukun in the north of Shule, the Geshu tribe of the Wuqijin tribe has annexed tens of thousands of Persian women and children for several years, and there is no problem. Persian women and children can succumb under force, and so can women and children who seek people by fire.

The biggest problem he is facing now is still that there are too few Han family sons and daughters west of Green Mountain, too few! If there is no victory for Li Jing in the northeast, there will be a large number of border army veterans stepping on this land, but unfortunately there is no if, Li Jing is in the limelight on the northeast front, and the border army veterans have a better choice, who is willing to emigrate to the river thousands of miles away. The method mentioned by Fang Wenwen is already the best method at present.

"According to Mr. 's words, a part of the Anhua Army was set aside to rule the fire search homeland. There is no need to break away from the Anhua Army, and the entire Huoxun Hometown is regarded as the territory of the Anhua Army. I also want to see if these Guanzhong disciples can take root in this land and completely turn this place into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Fang Wenwen said with a smile: "Thousands of Han family sons, tens of thousands of women and children of different races are slaves, and then I have the Tang Dynasty Iron Horse to deter, how can I not gain a foothold!" The general can rest assured that in one or twenty years, this place will always be the world of the Han family's clothes! ”

Ma Lan smiled and nodded, Fang Wenwen's suggestion solved the problem of Huo Xunguo, and also made him pause.

Since entering the river, he has been hesitant on how to deal with foreign races, but Fang Wenwen has given him a good advice.

In short, this method is to keep only women and children, and women and children will be turned into slaves, and a small number of Tang people will be used to rule.

This method cannot be implemented in all areas, such as the line from the city of Shabuer to the ancient city of Rai on the south bank of the Caspian Sea, and it is impossible for the Han people to move so far in a short period of time, so there is no point in killing all the local men.

However, in places such as the Fire Quest for the homeland that were to be directly occupied by the Han people, it was the best choice to use the Turkic method to reduce the indigenous population and then integrate it.

……

The Wuhu water flows to the estuary delta and divides into several lines, which flow into the Aral Sea from different directions, and this estuarine delta covers an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, with densely populated villages and towns everywhere. And with the arrival of the army, the people here fell into a deep fear.

The Turkic soldiers slaughtered on this fertile soil, and the smoke rising from the villages and towns in the distance could already be seen standing on the shores of the Aral Sea.

The Anxi army set up camp on the shores of the Aral Sea, where Ma Lan enjoyed a rare leisure time while waiting for the Turkic soldiers to complete their mission.

When the killing is complete, only women and children will be left behind, and these women and children will accept the rule of the Anhua army and become slaves of the Anhua army. In the future, these people and the children born later will become Tang people.

The war for living space has always been the most brutal. The strong gain everything, and the weak lose everything, including life, as has been the case since ancient times.

Ma Xuan didn't go to see the killings in person, so for him, the dead Huoxun men were just a half-day report. It's like playing a game, and Fire Finder is the character in the game, and it doesn't matter how many you die.

In the history of the Han nation, it has also suffered many invasions and killings by foreign races, and each time the Han nation has a sharp decline in population, but fortunately, it can be maintained again and again by relying on a strong population base and vast geographical depth, and all the invaders are integrated into the cultural circle of the Han nation without exception.

When the alien race entered the Central Plains, he would never be soft on the Han family. And now that the Han family has the advantage, there is naturally no reason to be soft on foreign races. Warmth does not exist between ethnic groups, and it is not too late to come back when the ruling order is established.

Since the army went out to hunt and drink, Ma Ling has never let his subordinates participate in the killing and plundering, in addition to not wanting the athletes to have too many innocent people's blood on their hands, but more just unwilling to let the athletes suffer unnecessary casualties.

The Han people barely had the same population as the Sogdians in the river, but the number was still too small, and even fewer could be replenished to the new army of Anxi, and it would be too useless to die because of the captivity when the overall situation was decided.

The tent stands on the shore of the Aral Sea, and you can see the clear waters of the Aral Sea when you sit in the tent. The Aral Sea thousands of years ago was different from that of later generations, and the location at the feet of later generations was already a lakeside desert where salt grains flowed.

Fang Wenwen once again showed his talent, Ma Lan was extremely satisfied with this guy's talent, this guy is not seen in the annals of history, but he is a real capable scholar, so Ma Lan handed over the planning of the Anhua Army to him to do, and he no longer wasted his effort.

Twilight is approaching, and the sunset is reflected in the water, a golden yellow.

Standing alone on the shore of the Aral Sea, Ma took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face.

As early as the Gaozong Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's sphere of influence had already crossed the Green Mountains, but it was all nominal, and he was the first person to really let the Tang Iron Horse set foot on the Turan Lowlands.

For this alone, he is proud enough, and in the history books, it is indispensable to write a stroke for him in the future.

A short distance west of the Aral Sea is the Caspian Sea, the world's largest lake. One day, his tent will stand on the shores of the Caspian Sea.

The lake gently ripples, turning the shadow of the setting sun into a piece of broken gold, which is slightly dazzling.

Ma Lan put his hand on his forehead, and suddenly saw a cold star flying out of the grass by the lake, and at the same time there was a screaming sound.

Ma Luan's face sank suddenly, his shoulders staggered and moved sideways by one foot, and at the same time, his neck twisted hard. The cold light whistled past his neck, and Ma Lu only felt a sudden pain in his neck, and reached out to touch it full of blood.

A thin figure stood in the grass by the lake, covered in a black robe, with a huge bow in his hand that was extremely conspicuous, and another arrow was fired.

"Condor Shooter!" Ma Luan's face was gloomy, and he didn't have time to check his injuries, his pupils instantly shrank to the limit, and he pounced on the long arrow, and at the same time, the horizontal knife that had killed countless people had already appeared in his hand.

A knife split the long arrow in half, and the broken arrow grazed his body and flew out, the black-robed man's eyes were cold under the veil, and another arrow shot out without hesitation, and the action was extremely fast.

The power of the giant arrow made Ma Lan slightly frightened, and at this moment he understood who this guy was. This is the guy who nearly shot Niu Xu, the Hawariji who fled, the guy who killed more than twenty Anxi athletes.

Chang'an Ranger for many years, I don't know how many times I have walked between life and death, the powerful enemy instantly inspired Ma Lu's arrogance, the horizontal knife in his hand trembled suddenly, and a knife light split the incoming long arrow into three parts, and at the same time, Ma Lan had already rushed to the shore of the lake.

The fourth long arrow flew over, leaving the bowstring in front of him, and the horizontal knife in Ma Lu's hand turned into a piece of knife, directly twisting the long arrow into several pieces, and then slashed straight at the neck of the black-robed man.

The black-robed man carried the longbow on his back in his left hand, and a short sword appeared in his right hand, and his eyes also showed pride, and the tip of the sword pierced accurately on the horizontal sword. Ma Lan only felt a strong attack, and he was secretly surprised in his heart.

The swords clashed, the two of them each took a step back, and Ma Lan's horizontal knife swung out again, but this time with great force.

The black-robed man was obviously also an expert, and this time he didn't dare to slack off, and instead of stabbing straight with the tip of his sword, he swung his sword and slashed at Ma Lu's horizontal knife.

Ma Lu tightened his face and shook his wrist, he had already avoided the short sword of the black-robed man, and his speed did not decrease at all, and he stabbed directly into the chest of the black-robed man.

The horizontal knife is long and the sword is short, and it seems that the fighting style is the same as the end, but in fact, the black-robed man suffers a great loss. Before he could stab Ma Lu with his short sword, his chest would be pierced by a horizontal knife.

The black-robed man was not flustered, he suddenly stepped on the ground to stop his body, the short sword in his hand came out of his hand, and threw it at Ma Lan with all his might, and he rose backwards and fell into the water.

Ma Lan sideways avoided the short sword, but the horizontal knife in his hand followed him like a shadow, and swept past the chest of the black-robed man with a gust of wind.

The black-robed man snorted miserably, and a blood line suddenly appeared on his chest, and the black-robed robe was torn apart by a horizontal knife, and two white and round things bounced out.

The curve is graceful, with a touch of pink at the top, which is extremely conspicuous in the setting sun.

"It's a woman?" Ma Lan was stunned, and couldn't help but lose his voice.

The black-robed man had a look of shame and indignation in his eyes, covered his chest with a scream, and suddenly jumped into the water, diving underwater.

Ma Lu was just stunned for a moment, and the next moment he immediately reacted, took out the flintlock pistol from his arms like lightning, and directly pulled the bolt without hesitation.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound, a trace of blood appeared in the lake, and the black-clothed figure quickly disappeared under the water, and there was only broken gold in the eyes, but the figure could no longer be seen. (To be continued.) )
