Chapter 1445: Arabian Storm (116 Verses)

The arrival of the transport team was no less than a shot in the arm for Zhang Xiao.

With ample supplies and ammunition reserves, he was finally able to begin his operations against the tribes in the district.

Moreover, for those people who have already been controlled by Zhang Xiao for one reason or another, Zhang Xiao also began to supply a large amount of food and meat.

At this moment, Zhang Xiao stabilized the shape in the control area in a very short period of time.

Yes, although those people in the territory of Kopoyali should hate Zhang Xiao and them logically speaking. After all, Zhang Xiao is strictly speaking, they are aggressors.

However, for the people at the bottom, it doesn't really matter who rules them. The most important thing is whether the ruler can bring them substantial benefits, if the new ruler will make their lives better rather than worse, then the people will of course prefer the new ruler.

This is not to say that people have forgotten their roots, but that their status determines their thinking and behavior patterns.

After all, the top brass are vested interests, and of course they hate the aggressor.

Because the aggressors will turn everything they have now into nothingness. At the same time, the group of people who were high above were knocked into the dust with a stick.

The ordinary people are different, they can't see and touch those interests, although those high-status people with vested interests always fool them and say that 'everyone's interests are the same', but ordinary people can't enjoy it at all, which will make the people complain.

No matter how nice it sounds, ordinary people can't feel that kind of benefit at all, and every qiē will become empty talk.

After a long time, the minds of ordinary people, it will be interesting.

Therefore, after Zhang Xiao led the Imperial Army to invade the territory of the Kopoyali people, the organizers who generally encountered resistance were those who had been on high in the past.

Instead, resistance from the people at the bottom. Basically minimal.

Regarding this situation, Zhang Xiao also made a basic judgment.

Therefore, he focused on those high-level people and adopted a high-pressure posture and means against them.

And for those relatively honest people at the bottom, Zhang Xiao has a different attitude.

After receiving material replenishment, he had a lot of money in his hands, so he also had confidence. Therefore, he sent people to the territory ruled by the Harimantan dynasty near Iraq outside the eastern Cuman region, and contacted a large number of Harimantan merchants.

From the hands of which merchants. Zhang Xiao bought a large amount of grain and meat to meet the daily food needs of the people in the district.

This move completely eased the feelings of the people at the bottom, after all, what else could they ask for such a new ruler.

You must know that the grain and meat that Zhang Xiao bought from Harimantan did not make a penny at the price sold in the control area.

Therefore, this is really a great benefit and benefit for the people at the bottom who have been enjoying the high price of food.

It is for this reason that it is also possible. The people at the bottom were able to stop being hostile to Zhang Xiao in a very short period of time.

After all, if those people of my own tribe ruled over themselves in the past, they would not be able to enjoy these cheap foods.

Take a look. The minds of the people at the bottom are actually as simple as that.

Of course, you really can't blame them for that.

You know, the high-level people enjoy the luxury that the people at the bottom can't enjoy. Living a life they can't afford. You can't ask the people at the bottom to fight hard to maintain your life when the crisis comes.

After all, everyone's interests are different.

But. There are still some low-level people who will be brainwashed and fooled.

But such people are only a minority, and they do not represent the majority.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshou controlled most of the high-level people in Koppyali, and used cheap food to make the people at the bottom come to heart, so the situation in the control area quickly stabilized.

Even, who were a little wavering and did not know whether they should join the Bukuts or stay and be ruled by the Empire, the former Kopyali vassal tribes finally decided to stay.

For the simple reason that the losses on the Bukuts side were too great, they urgently needed to make up for them from elsewhere.

Therefore, they had to loot from the former Kopoyali vassal tribes in the area under their control, as well as a part of the Kopoyali who were unwilling to be ruled by the Song Empire and seceded from the Kopoyali people.

It is impossible for such a thing not to spread to Zhang Xiaokong's territory.

And the impact of this is huge.

It's such a comparison, but anyone who is not a fool knows where to stay.

You must know that although the economy of the Cairo Concession is not as strong as that of the mainland, it is also very top-notch when looking at the entire North African region.

The trade in the Empire's goods was booming, and there was no need to worry about not being able to sell them.

So, in the hands of the Governor of Cairo, Ma Bond, controlled zhì and a large sum of money.

And money can only bring greater benefits if it is circulated, and if it is kept unchecked, it will not bring benefits.

However, Ma Bond didn't know what to do with the wealth he controlled.

Because in this day and age, there are so few places to spend money. Although he supported the rebel army, he really didn't need that much money.

Besides, if he wanted to buy land, it was impossible for Egypt to sell him too much land, so he could only put the money in the concession.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiao has a place to use money, and he can finally spend some money to go out.

Therefore, Ma Bond asked the transport team to bring a large amount of money to Zhang Xiaolai at one time. And let people sue him, if it is not enough, there is.

Only the Song Empire and the concessions under its jurisdiction will have such great confidence.

It is impossible for any country in this era to say such heroic words.

You must know that in this era, the countries of the East and the West are basically in the economic crisis of fiscal deficits. There is no country that has a ruler like the Song Empire.

So, of course, they can't be as atmospheric as the Empire.

There are about 300,000 people in Zhang Xiaokong's district.

This figure is very accurate.

And Ma Bond asked the transport team to give him enough money for Zhang Xiao to supply these 300,000 people to buy affordable food for decades. without any problems.

It can be seen how terrible it is for a concession under the jurisdiction of the empire to have such a strong economic power.

And this is still a situation when the oil resources of the Cuman region have not been developed, and if they are developed, the empire will be enough to feed these 300,000 people in vain.

It's just that it's unrealistic to feed them in vain, and the empire is not so stupid.

It's good to give them affordable food or something.

After some more or something, Zhang Xiao won't do it.

Because it is not in the interests of the empire, and Zhang Xiao naturally has to think about the interests of the empire.

Bukut is concerned about the unstable situation of the tribes in the district under his control. It's also a hurry to get on fire. But if you let them do the same thing as Zhang Xiao, they don't have the ability to do this.

The Bukuts are a typical Arab tribe that relies on high prices for all supplies from the outside world. And because they live in Cuman, an area with poor resources and few mineral resources, their lives are not very good.

If it weren't for the fact that the tribes were larger, and they could collect a toll for the caravans that crossed from the east to Europe or North Africa, the Bukuts were not necessarily much better than the beggars.

Of course, this refers to the people at the bottom, and the top is another matter.

To know. No matter how poor the people at the bottom are, the life of the top of the Arab tribes is very luxurious.

But these extravagant lives are all built on the hardships of the people at the bottom.

So, if you want to learn from Zhang Xiao, do that. The Bukut top brass must stop living such a luxurious life and use the money saved to support the people.

However, even if this is the case, it will not bring much change.

Not to mention. It's simply not possible.

And the Bukuts, in order to make up for their losses and guard against the threat of the Tatanirs, could only do so knowing that they were unwise. Continue to loot and oppress the tribesmen under the command of Kopoali.

At the same time, the Bukuts did not let go of the vassal tribes under their command.

In fact, this is also the reason why the Bukuts have no choice but to do this.

Who let them lose so much.

The Bukut people are uncomfortable or not, Zhang Xiao can't control it.

He didn't bother either.

Now his mind is on stabilizing and developing his own control area.

Moreover, the Bukuts did not pose any threat to Zhang Xiao after they obtained one-third of the Kopoyali territory, as well as some of the tribesmen and vassal tribes, as Zhang Xiao had judged.

Because the Bukuts need time to digest these benefits, and at the same time beware of the Tatanirs who are about to move.

At this time, if you offend Zhang Xiao and the Imperial Army, who have strong combat effectiveness, then the Bukuts are brain-dead.

Therefore, they could only watch Zhang Xiao lead the Imperial Army and get the biggest benefit cake after the defeat of the Kopoyali people, but there was nothing they could do.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Bukuts have lost too much, and how about Zhang Xiao and the Imperial Army if they don't have the strength.

If the losses of the Bukuts were not so great, it would really be impossible to calm down now.

In fact, this qiē is within the scope of Zhang Xiao's prediction and evaluation, and there is no mistake in the slightest.

You must know that the ten-member staff group under Zhang Xiao is not a dry meal.

In such a time, day by day, a month passed in a blink of an eye.

A month later, the Tatanirs finally confirmed the defeat of the Bukuts and the great loss of their military strength, and immediately began to send troops.

And Zhang Xiao's side also ushered in envoys from the Harimantan Dynasty in the east and some surrounding Arab countries...... (To be continued......)
