Chapter 303: It's done
"Your Majesty, I have good news for you, the War Song Clan and the Black Hammer Clan have agreed to sign an armistice!"
It's really good news, he didn't expect it to be so soon, it's really overjoyed.
Qin Ge studied the population structure of the Hexi Corridor, and its population peak was estimated to be 10 million, and now after just two or three months of war, it has dropped to seven or eight million.
The biggest problem of this Yueshi is the split, if the Yueshi establishes a single royal court like the Xiongnu, begins to strengthen the centralized power, and weakens the local power, whether it is Huaxia or the Xiongnu, there is not much chance to take advantage of the weakness.
Three or two civil wars have made the division even more severe, and the various tribes are still unable to work together, so it is inevitable that they will be attacked by foreign tribes.
But even so, they can't be underestimated!
The nomadic population is still there, the whole people raise horses and all the people are soldiers, and they still have a strong war potential.
Of these seven or eight million, from teenagers to 50-year-olds, half of the population has combat effectiveness.
Therefore, it is unrealistic for Qin Ge to completely bloody the Hexi Corridor, on the one hand, excessive killing will lead to a shortage of labor in the Yue Clan, and on the other hand, it will provoke the backlash and unity of the Yue Clan. The best way is to continue to create divisions, external suppression, internal checks and balances, short-term stability of the state of various ministries, long-term religious and cultural infiltration.
For this reason, Qin Ge ordered Bai Qi to be stationed in the middle of the Hexi Corridor, and the Qin army base was established on the bank of the Heishui River, guarding the passage from Qilian Mountain to Juyanze, blocking the Xiongnu from going south, and cutting off the Yue clan from going north, and radiating the deterrence to the surrounding tribes, and attacking all the unsatisfied tribes at any time.
This Huaxia Reaper has become a nightmare for countless Moon Clans!
The name of Bai Qi can make the children of the Yue clan dare not cry, and where Bai Qi passes, the warriors of the Yue clan do not dare to come to herd the horses.
The Chinese Grim Reaper is stationed in the hinterland of Hexi, and he is making great fanfare to open up wasteland to create fertile land, which is psychologically enough to cause huge pressure, and there are more than a dozen small and medium-sized tribes directly controlled by Bai Qi, among which the elite troops have even been absorbed by Bai Qi, and now these Yue's cavalry are extremely worshipful of Bai Qi,
In this case, who would dare to provoke this Huaxia Grim Reaper?
It was too late for them to retreat and flee, for fear of causing annihilation.
Bai Qi is enough to stabilize the small and medium-sized tribes.
As for the five major tribes of the Yue Clan?
There was no need for the three major tribes to exist, so Qin Ge divided and dismembered them into a number of small and medium-sized tribes, supported obedient or controllable people, and became the chiefs of these small and medium-sized tribes, at least in the short term, they could no longer pose a threat to Huaxia.
He also sent Diao Chan and Zhang Qian as envoys to the Zhan Song tribe and the Black Hammer tribe to lobby, show their authority, induce them to benefit, and hope that the two major tribes would take the lead in surrendering their allegiance to Great Qin. Doing so will not only preserve the tribal pastures, but also obtain the privilege of preferential cooperation with Great Qin, and in the future, Huaxia goods, technology, and inventions can benefit the two major tribes.
If you follow it, you will be safe, and if you go against it, you will punish it.
The Bloodhoof tribe has learned from the past, the truth is as simple as that, fate lets them choose by themselves!
The War Song Clan and the Black Hammer Clan now finally know that they have fallen into the trap from the beginning, and the Qiang troops in the Southern Plateau, the demon soldiers and demon generals in the Western Ten Thousand Demon Caves, and the army led by Bai Qi are actually controlled by a will behind the scenes.
The main passages in the southwest and north of the Yue clan are impassable, and the east is the base camp of the Huaxia clan, and Bai Qi Zhao Yun Diao Chan controls a huge force, and with the current split and loose hearts of the Yue clan, there is no way to escape from such an iron bucket encirclement, Qin II just gave them a series of conditions, and even agreed to the two major tribes to keep the pasture and tribe.
So what else can be done?
Qin Ge released his chips again, he planned to support the Ancestral Spirit Sect!
For this reason, the ancestral spirit prophet joined the ranks of lobbying, and after weighing the benefits, the chief of the war song, Yu Zhan, finally agreed to sign an armistice agreement. And when the news of the loosening of the Warsong Clan reached the Black Hammer Clan, it immediately caused panic.
The chief of the Black Hammer tribe, Wu Man, is the lord and faction, but there is a lot of opposition within the tribe, after all, the Huaxia clan is a foreign race, how can they accept the rule of the foreign race? But now that the Zhan Ge clan immediately succumbed, they were worried that Huaxia would unite with Zhan Ge to deal with the Black Hammer, and finally they were forced by the situation to agree to sign an armistice agreement.
The armistice just sounded good.
In fact, it is a whitewashed defeat contract!
More precisely, it was a contract announcing the payment of tribute to the Great Qin Empire.
"Your Majesty, why don't you deal with these two tribes, we can split them from the inside like we would break down the Bloodhoof tribes, won't it not pose a threat?"
Diao Chan raises his own bewilderment.
Qin Ge shook his head and explained: "A large herd of wild cattle and bison, if there is no leader, it is difficult to control. ”
Diao Chan is no longer Wuxia Ameng, she thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty wants to use the influence of these big clans to strengthen the control of small clans? But if you support one clan, it may cause this clan to become bigger, so you will support two at the same time?"
"You're getting smarter and smarter, and you're not the leader of my intelligence!"
Qin Ge nodded with satisfaction.
Qin Ge left the war song black hammer, mainly from three considerations.
The first is to hope that Warsong and Black Hammer will take the lead, and it is precisely because the two tribes have extraordinary influence in the steppe that as long as these two tribes stand up and surrender, the other wavering small and medium-sized tribes have no choice.
Second, to prevent the resurgence of the other three major clans, the Yue clan only sees a competitive relationship, so the division of the other three major clans is actually beneficial to War Song and Black Hammer, if the other three major tribes have signs of compounding, it will damage the interests of the two major clans, so it will be organized by the two major clans to ensure that most of the Yue clan's forces are in a dispersed state.
Third, why support two at the same time, and not one of them alone. This is actually a common imperial checks and balances, Qin Ge will use policies and economic and trade resources to make the two tribes form a confrontation of interests, so as to establish a competitive relationship within the Yue clan, which is conducive to maintaining stability in Hexi.
If one day the Warsong Clan is too strong.
Qin Ge will tilt resources to the Black Hammer Clan, and quietly beat the war song, and vice versa, like a balance, keeping the Hexi Corridor balanced and buying time for the Great Qin Empire to infiltrate.
Now this result is expected.
Qin Ge just never expected that it would only take a few days to achieve his goal.
After all, the Yue's civilization is still too weak, the tribes only care about their own interests, and have not established the collective consciousness of the country and the nation.
Without a hundred years, it is simply impossible to truly occupy the Chinese world.
If it really takes a hundred years, I am afraid that the invaders will be assimilated by China first.
............
Three days later,
The northern branch of the Qilian Mountains, the southeast end of the Lenglong Mountains, and the Wusheling Mountains.
The War Song Clan, the Black Hammer Clan, and the Great Qin Empire came here as agreed.
The two chiefs of the war song and the black hammer, each with more than 20 elders and generals, and more than 3,000 horsemen as messengers, carried out live cattle and sheep to kill and sacrifice, and the ancestral spirit monks provoked a sacrifice dance.
"Chief Wuman, I didn't expect you to arrive first. ”
"Ahem, cough, it turned out to be Chief Yu Zhan, I really haven't seen you for a long time. ”
Yu Zhan and Wu Man, the two barbarian cattle people, met first and greeted each other with Yue's etiquette.
Wu Man is a puppet chief, he is controlled by the Controlled Heart Gu, his body seems to be getting worse day by day, and the whole person has lost weight, but he still maintains a normal and good state, and from the outside, he can't see that he is controlled at all.
Yu Zhan had no intention of chatting, the drum had already sounded, this was the consciousness of welcome, the five thousand ironclad cavalry of Daqin was slowly coming to this place, and the chief had a complicated expression to find some familiar faces from it.
For example, Zhang Qian, such as Diao Chan, and Zhao Yun.
This chief never dreamed that his Zhan Ge clan could be saved, but the Hexi Corridor would be dominated by Huaxia in the future, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
Out of the crowd came three men.
A young man dressed as a Chinese man, with two figures, one black and one white, all the Yueshi people on the scene were nervous, they didn't know who the man in black was, but the man in white was a nightmarish existence.
It's him!
The Grim Reaper!
Qin Ge took Bai Qi and Wu Qi through the guard of honor to Wusheling Ridge.
With a panoramic view of the prairie, endless green grass, undulating green hills and rivers, it is the best time of the year.
Qin Ge clearly remembered that just half a year ago, when he first entered the Hexi Corridor, it was still a cold winter, he took Zhao Yun and Zhang Qian to climb the Wusheling Ridge with great ambition, the sky was covered with snowflakes, and the earth was covered with frost, but his heart was extremely hot, and he vowed to take this place.
I really didn't expect it to be less than half a year.
This task, which seemed difficult at the time, was accomplished.
"Qin Ge, why are you? Did the emperor send you as an envoy?"
Yu Zhan was very stunned when he saw Qin Ge, but if he thought about it carefully, how could the emperor have such a noble status and come to the place of surrender in person? But at this time, Zhang Qian, an old friend of the Zhan Ge clan, took the initiative to come out and say.
"The chief introduced to you, this is His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor, and His Majesty will personally come to sign the armistice agreement. ”
"Emperor Huaxia?!"
Yu Zhan was dumbfounded, not only Chief Yu Zhan, but all the War Song Elders were all shocked.
The Emperor of China once came to their tribe and even had close contact with them. If the Warsong Clan had found out his identity and solved it, today's incident would not have happened at all, but there was no if......
"I think the auspicious time has come. Qin Ge said calmly: "I will ask Taiwei Wu Qi to read the armistice agreement again, and if there is no problem, just sign this contract." ”
The armistice was very simple.
The core one is: stop fighting, pay tribute, and from now on, support Huaxia!
Great Qin will no longer wantonly hunt for slaughter in Hexi, the Yue clan will become one of the ethnic groups of China and Huaxia, Qin Ge will protect the basic human rights of the Yue clan, do not condone the infringement of the Yue people's property, and open trade between Huaxia and the Yue clan and allow legal immigration.
Except for the tribute vassals.
Qin Ge didn't ask for a huge amount of war reparations, because the loot for more than a month was already unimaginable, Qin Ge didn't want to provoke these drawings, but just wanted to digest them.
The three of them signed the contract in an instant.
"Congratulations to the Destiny One: A-rank quest 'Jingluo Hexi' has been completed!" A voice sounded in my ears: "Rewards are being generated......"
