Chapter 663: The Fault Is Too Good For You
"Just kill them all."
Zhu Jun's casual words made several people present change color.
Zhu Cheqi, who looks like a civilian official, has a really strong murderous intention.
When the Yellow Turban Army was suppressed, Zhu Jun's methods were harsh and bloody.
At that time, the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army was defeated, the two leaders Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong were killed in battle, the remnants of the Yellow Turban re-promoted Han Zhong as the commander, and were attacked into the city by the official army, Han Zhong retreated to the small city and asked to surrender, and the generals of the imperial court conquest army wanted to listen to it, but Zhu Jun did not agree.
Zhu Jun believed that if they accepted surrender at this time, it would instead breed their will to rebel, and let them have the idea of "entering the war if it is advantageous, and begging to surrender if it is unfavorable", which is disguised as conniving at the enemy. So he ordered a quick attack, and he must use iron and blood to let the Yellow Turbans know what the price of rebellion would be. It is still strict with the rebellious Han people, and it will naturally not have a good face against the foreign cavalry who come to attack. Kill all the captives, others may not dare to do it, but Zhu Jun will definitely not hesitate to do it.
Xu Shu and Zhai Jian looked at each other.
Zhu Jun can do this kind of thing by killing prisoners, but Long Ling absolutely can't do it.
Once it is done, the Qianghu tribes are bound to fight hard with the dragon leader, the dragon leader has not yet built a stone city wall, even if there is a stone city wall, it is not suitable to kill prisoners, that is a taboo against human behavior, and the character change is quite powerful.
Yu Buzhi coughed lightly and said: "These Qianghu captives are all young and strong men, it is a pity to kill them, and the Qianghu tribes will have a fierce reaction after learning about it, and the adults are naturally not afraid of Qianghu, but the soldiers under their command are hard and urgently need to rest." It just so happens that the dragon leader is short of population, so if you hand over these prisoners of war to the subordinates and find a way to influence them, they can't be influenced, so that their tribe can redeem them, and they can also have more military funds to support the construction......"
Yu Buzhi said it very tactfully, Zhu Jun is not unreasonable, but he is used to dealing with it like that. For a while, he didn't realize that Qianghu was not a rebel rebel, and Hetao was not a place under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
Longling has a successful experience in "reforming" Qianghu.
The Qianghu tribe is inhabited, and the key is to take down the tribe as a whole, and it is better if the tribal leader or the respected person is caught. As long as the tribal ties that hold them together no longer exist, and they are provided with stable and comfortable living conditions and some security, the possibility of Qianghu escaping is slim.
The Qianghu tribe has been attacking for a long time, the losing side, the same clan is mostly merged, and the other tribe can only become slaves, to kill or chop all depends on the mood of the winner, even if you are lucky to survive, there is never enough work to do, rarely can eat enough, the status is not as good as cattle, horses and livestock, at least the livestock eat grass. The dragon leader is willing to give them the treatment of the inhabitants of their territory, which is even better for the Qianghu people than they can get in their dreams.
In the past, the three small tribes that were captured and exterminated quickly integrated into the dragon collar after being taken captive, not only did they not hate the dragon collar, but they generally had a strong sense of belonging and gratitude to the dragon collar.
It is said that Zhai Jian and the others were worried to death at first, suspecting that the other party was cheating, and tried all kinds of temptations, and it took a while to understand that people were sincerely taking refuge. Yu Buzhi can understand the thinking pattern of Hetao Qianghu, a typical Stockholm syndrome patient.
After the preliminary interrogation results came out, Zhai Jian was a little more sure about the prisoners.
Four tribes joined forces to attack, two of the leaders were captured, one was killed during the breakout, and only the commander of the Barbarian Cattle tribe escaped. The sneak attack was not successful, but he was wrapped in dumplings, and his own army was lost, Zhu Jun's more than 10,000 pretended foot soldiers were full of deterrence, and the dragon cavalry had not yet appeared, unless Wu Shuai was impatient, it was wise to die as far as he went.
The leaders of the other three tribes have not returned, and the Barbarian Cattle Department has the strength to forcibly take away the three left-behind tribesmen, but recently the Qianghu tribes have been united and the wind is blowing, and the four tribes have joined forces to fight the enemy, and the defeat is not authentic to their own people, and it is bound to become a pretext for other tribes to attack. If it is not bad, the Brute Bull Department should have prepared to run alone, and the other three should be in a state of leaderlessness.
Zhai Jian called the two captured leaders, and the other two captives each pushed out their representatives and gave them two paths.
The first way: the whole tribe joins the dragon territory.
Become an official resident of Longling, with an introduction to the salary and benefits of residents, those who are willing to join will be turned regular immediately, and there will be no probationary period, and they will immediately send someone back to the camp to summon the rest of the clan to surrender. This point is "joining as a whole", not that no one should be missing, no one can stop the people who don't want to come if they want to leave, and they can defect to other tribes, but the tribe must not continue to exist, so as not to leave thoughts and affect those who are willing to join.
The second way: ransom.
For those who don't want to join or have different opinions and are difficult to join as a whole, the dragon leader is also willing to give them a way to live, after all, God has the virtue of a good life, and the lord of the dragon leader is so benevolent (greedy) and generous (greedy). Taking things to ransom prisoners is a common rule among the nomads of the steppe, and there are many cases of ransom between the Han and the nomads, and Cai Wenji, who was taken away by the Huns, was ransomed by Cao Cao.
Hearing this condition, Qiang Hu didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Usually, it is the Han people who give ransom to Qianghu, and the Han stronghold where Qianghu asks for ransom from the tribe has not appeared in recent years, which makes them very unaccustomed to it......
Zhai Jian put forward these two conditions, originally intending to let these Qianghu choose the first one and increase the population of the dragon leader, but the Qianghu people invariably chose the second one, and would rather pay a ransom than join.
Afterwards, Zhai Jian figured out the reason: the captured Qiang Hu didn't believe in such a good thing at all.
We are not Han Chinese, it is good not to be a slave after being captured, and it is equivalent to the treatment of Han people in the territory, who will be treated?
It is not very reliable to directly become a villager of Longling, and some people will still be suspicious, but it should not be, Zhai Jian should not publicize the salary and benefits of the territory. The salary and benefits of the special territory are on par with the main base, and the few who come to settle in the main city also receive an extra subsidy. Of course, the subsidy has nothing to do with the Qianghu captives, but the salary of the deer is famous all over the country, and it is even more astronomical for the bitter Qianghu people.
The salary and benefits are too good, but Qiang Hu doesn't believe it.
Swindler!
Asking the tribe as a whole to join and gather the clansmen in the camp is to serve it in one pot, right?
When we are fools, damn it!
The Qianghu deputies firmly chose the second option, feeling that it was more reassuring to pay the ransom.
After knowing the truth, Zhai Jian was messy in the wind.
Is it wrong to be too good for you?
Yu Buzhi is very open-minded, love does not come, it is a big deal to let the cavalry go out a few more times after the rumor, and directly connect the pot to the heart. Breaking the captives and exterminating three small tribes, the dragon leader now has a lot of Qianghu, accounting for almost a quarter of the total population of the territory, although the territory has more excellent cavalry resources, but the Qianghu people have no other production skills except animal husbandry, and Yu Buzhi hopes that there are more Han people in the Hetao territory.
The ransom received by the dragon leader included Han Chinese slaves, war horses, and cattle and sheep.
After the trading standards were announced, the Qianghu representatives rushed away with incredulity on their faces.
