Chapter 221: The Conqueror (1)

In human history, behind every victorious conqueror, there is the blood and tears of the vanquished.

If it is a war between aliens, then the fate of the defeated vanquished will be extremely tragic, and they may even be wiped out from now on.

Within a few years of Europeans' arrival in the Americas, massacres, plagues, and exploitation wiped out the Indians of the Caribbean islands in droves, so much so that Europeans had to ship black slaves from Africa to supplement the plantations' shortage of labor.

As the newly established United States began to move westward, there was a fierce conflict with the Indians who had lived there for generations on the Great Plains, who were no longer as backward as the Europeans had arrived, and who had acquired guns and horses through trade. Many times, American troops armed to the teeth were also beaten by Indians on horseback. In order to reverse the unfavorable situation, the Americans began to attack the food of the Indians, slaughtering American bison everywhere, and almost causing the extinction of this species. Eventually, the Indians were forced to move into the reservation, leaving the vast majority of the land to the whites.

The Mongol conquest was a military conquest unique in the history of the world, and as a nomadic people, the Mongols were as cruel and ruthless as a cold snap from the steppe. In the nations and cities that dared to resist, all adult men were killed or castrated, children were made slaves, and boys who were taller than the wheels were killed. For the Han Chinese in the Central Plains and the South, the Mongol rulers also enjoyed the right of the first night of the woman, forcing the practice of killing the first child in some areas to maintain the bloodline.

Rome destroyed Carthage, plundered and burned the rich cities, and sprinkled salt into the fields to turn them into barren land. Since then, this pearl city of North Africa has never returned to its former glory.

Not only to the aliens, but also to the human race, often to the same race.

Huang Chao is referred to in history textbooks as the "leader of the peasant rebels", but he was a smuggler who lived a prosperous life and had nothing to do with the poor peasants. The Yellow Nest in history is an out-and-out murderer.

In 879 A.D., Huang Chao ordered the massacre of the city after capturing Guangzhou, and according to the travelogue "Experiences in China and India" written by Arab merchants in the Middle Ages, as many as 120,000 Muslims, Christians, and Jews died under the butcher's knife alone! And the 10th-century Arab scholar Masudi's book "The Golden Grassland" said that the number of foreigners killed was 200,000!

In 880 A.D., Huangchao captured Chang'an, and then built the title of emperor, and the country name Daqi. The Huang Chao army still carried out large-scale burning, killing, and looting in Chang'an City, turning the prosperous imperial capital into a hell on earth. Not only the princes, princesses, dignitaries and nobles stranded in Chang'an were not spared, but even ordinary people followed. After the Huangchao army conquered Chang'an twice, more than 80,000 people were slaughtered in the city!

The most outrageous refers to the fact that the Huang Chao army used people to feed on people, and the Huang Chao army once massacred civilians in Henan and Shandong on a large scale, and built huge piles to crush the living as military rations. It is estimated that in the nearly one year of besieging Chenzhou alone, 300,000 people were eaten by Huangchao's army!

What's even more shocking is that it's not just Huang Chao who eats people, many warlords and giants have this thing, and the allusions of "two-legged sheep" and "unenvious sheep" sound outrageous.

Even if they are not eaten, the common people will not be spared. At the time of the change of dynasty, it is not uncommon for the Chinese population to drop by more than half. Bai Qikeng killed hundreds of thousands of Zhao pawns, and many years later, Qin pawns were killed by Xiang Yukeng for hundreds of thousands. The population loss of the Three Kingdoms in the troubled times was as high as ninety percent, which gave the opportunity to the later Wuhu Rebellion.

In the troubled times, ordinary people were even forced to eat people, although "Yi Zi and eat" is only four words, and how much blood and tears are contained.

- I'm the dividing line -

Returning to "Qingqiu City", although he was victorious and came to the main nest "Qingqiu City" as a conqueror, the protagonist had nothing to make him indulge in carnival.

Unlike humans, looting and killing are often driven by self-interest, but the ants are a self-denying and thrifty Zhong clan, whether facing the same clan or the remnants, the materials looted by the ant warriors are also handed over to the collective, and will not be kept privately.

In terms of collectivism, ants are far more selfless than humans, so they are called "true sociality". Individual worker ants and soldier ants do not have superfluous desires, and they do not rack their brains for an extra bite to eat, a little good food. Even male ants, although they have high-grade food offerings, are nothing more than eating and living a little better than the ants at the bottom, and they do not have their own wealth.

The ant society is a completely public-owned society.

There are pros and cons to this for the main character.

On the positive side, he can use 100% of the collective's materials to realize his ambitions, and there is very little material friction and waste within the collective.

The disadvantage is that this distribution of one big and two dukes makes the protagonist very uncomfortable, and he doesn't know how to cultivate and maintain the loyalty of his subordinates for a long time.

It is not enough to rely on status and emotion to maintain the loyalty of one's subordinates, and the human solution is to maintain relationships through interests. Whether it is the transfer of benefits or the sharing of benefits, it is ironic that the bond based on the bond of interest is often stronger than the friendship and family affection.

But this trick doesn't work for the ants who "have no desire and no desire", and the protagonist has been exploring for a long time, using multi-pronged methods, shaping his own reputation, using the name of the gods, and using killing to deter, so that the male ants of the God's King Legion are pinched together.

Even so, there are still rebels like Da Rong who don't agree with the concept, and for the main nest male ants who have little contact in the past, the protagonist has no appeal at all, and he can't do it at all.

As a conqueror, the protagonist's first night in "Qingqiu City" was nothing more than renovating a dormitory and eating a lot of high-end food uncontrollably.

These high-end food protagonists are not as good as eating in "Dongyang City", but after many days of fighting, whether it is "Sitong City" or the auxiliary nest that temporarily stops on the road, there are no conditions to speak of, and now it is a rare enjoyment to be able to drink honey dew and eat some hot food cooked with fire.

Now that the protagonist doesn't have to do it himself, Mulan and some Praetorian Guards can already bake and cook food. Let the protagonist enjoy a moment of peace and contentment.

The protagonist doesn't eat alone, and he orders that more high-grade food be distributed to the commanders of the Divine Legion, with the Legion Commander getting three times as much and the Platoon Commander twice as much. Now the original male ants in "Qingqiu City" have been killed or imprisoned, and the ration of high-end food is very rich, allowing the protagonist to toss like this to "buy the ant heart".
