Chapter 387: Wait and see

readx;? Just two days after Lin Ye returned to Dawn Town, the war horses from the Gale Grassland and the Fury Wind Grassland had been delivered in turn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Among them, in addition to returning the 500 war horses purchased from the Gale Grassland that had been seized before, the Fury Grassland side took the initiative to send 500 war horses.

The war horses of the Raging Wind Grassland are known for their endurance, and although they are slightly lacking compared to the war horses of the Gale Grassland, they are still very good.

The purpose of this is obvious, the Bakis family hopes that the Far East will not meddle in the internal affairs of the steppes and let them solve it themselves.

Presumably, at the same time, another batch of gifts was sent to the Storm Grassland, although the strength of the Furious Wind Grassland was not afraid of the Gale Grassland.

But in the end, it was a thousand enemies who killed and lost eight hundred, and it wasn't necessarily who lost eight hundred, this thing that should have been dusty was suddenly exposed.

This caught Bakis by surprise and disrupted the entire deployment, forcing him to prepare to deal with Sagwen.

On the Gale Meadow side, Sagwen fulfilled his previous promise and sent a thousand war horses over, saying that he would not take a penny.

However, how could Lin Ye let him suffer this big loss, although Saha, who escorted the war horse over, refused the check given by Lin Ye, saying that he would never accept it.

But Lin Ye still waved his pen and let a large amount of grain, grass, and iron tools be transported back to the Gale Grassland with Saha, and Lancelot personally escorted them.

"My lord, we have accepted the war horses of the Angry Wind Grassland, and we have also collected the war horses of the Gale Wind Grassland, will this be a little inappropriate?"

Crouff asked in surprise, this kind of situation of receiving gifts at both ends will inevitably be criticized, and it is a bit unpleasant.

"Badinger just wanted to calm my emotions with these five hundred horses, hoping that I would not get involved in their disputes, and he was a typical dizzy person, thinking that I was one of those people who only cared about the small profits in front of him, and since he was willing to give them, I would take them, but it was just interest. ā€

Lin Ye tapped his fingers slowly, and at this time he was patrolling the newly built cavalry camp, and the soldiers were excitedly communicating with the war horses.

This came and went with 2,000 excellent war horses, and the newly recruited cavalry was only 500 people, for which another 500 trainee cavalry were urgently recruited.

Even so, there were a thousand more war horses coming out, and Lin Ye asked people to take these thousand war horses to the Longxi Valley Plain to graze.

The water and grass here are abundant, and the climatic conditions are almost the same as those of the steppe, or even more superior, but historically due to the orcs who ruled the place.

As a direct result, there are no wild horses here, and according to Lin Ye's plan, a ranch for cultivating high-quality war horses is established here.

"Do we need to send troops to intervene in their internal conflict now?" asked Crouff tentatively.

It seems that this Duke cannot be measured by common sense, and since he has decided to attack the prairie, he just doesn't know what will happen.

"No, it's not the time yet, now we're going to go hastily, because both of them are in full swing, and second, Sagwen won't appreciate it, and third, our cavalry troops are not yet mature, and it's useless to go, so just wait patiently and let them spend time with each other. ā€

Lin Ye shook his head, the last thing he was bad at was patience, there was only one most effective way to deal with nomads in Chinese history.

That is to drive them to places where it is difficult to survive, in other words, to make them unable to survive at all, but to surrender.

"Sir, do you mean that we only need to be a spectator, and when are we going to do it?"

Crouff continued to ask, he probably understood the young man's thoughts, it was terrible to have such patience and scheming at such an age.

"It's not all about spectators, in the next six months, I will send people to various border towns adjacent to the prairie to buy a large amount of grain at double the price, and monopolize the distribution rights in various places, and firmly hold the grain in my own hands. Lin Ye said slowly.

"Grain? Even if we can't eat all the grain in our warehouse for 20 years, what are we going to do with the grain we buy at a high price?"

Kluf was very surprised, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the little duke's gourd, and even if it was purchased, it was purchased by sea to the south of the empire.

Isn't this a much lower price? Why raise the cost to buy at the border?

"We have enough food to eat, but the grassland people may not have enough food, and when winter comes, the water and grass dry up, and their lives will be sad. ā€

Lin Ye looked in the direction of the prairie with his hands behind his back, it was the beginning of spring, and he asked the experienced old man.

This year's winter seems to be exceptionally cold, and the cold often brings hunger, whether it is humans or beasts.

The winters will be long and cruel, far more difficult for the nomads than for the farming peoples.

Once there is not enough food in stock, the winter will only be spent in hunger, someone will die, if it is in a special state again.

There will be more people who will die, and sometimes Lin Ye will reflect on his victory in this way, is it too inhumane?

A fire burned thousands of lives, and in the middle of winter, thousands more may starve to death.

This is both a natural disaster and a man-made disaster, this question has puzzled him for a long time, and he has not come up with a conclusion so far, but things are one yard at a time.

Even if you can't figure it out, your brain will still make the most favorable judgment and strictly implement it.

"Is the purpose of buying food so that those grassland people have no food to eat? Haha, my lord, your trick is really wonderful!"

When Kluff learned the reason for buying grain, he was very excited, and he was able to put the other party in a difficult situation without fighting, which is really amazing!

"The winter is getting colder and colder, and if you are in a state of war, you can't buy food from other means, I don't know how many people will starve to death, don't you think this is very cruel?" Lin Ye still couldn't help but throw this question, wanting to ask the opinions of the people around him.

"What are you talking about, my lord, they are enemies, and they would never think that when they treat us. ā€

Crouff was a little surprised, the duke's ruthlessness was unheard of, and the fire in the Valley of Despair made him feel uneasy.

The fact that the Duke, who was able to do such a cruel thing, would ask such a question really puzzled him.

"Enemies? Yes, they are enemies, and if you want to open up a whole new world, you have to sacrifice in the end. ā€

Lin Ye shook his head, change is always accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice, in the history he studied, although there was a glorious revolution in Britain.

But that's only on the surface, and how many assassinations and how many rivers of blood are flowing in secret.

In particular, the glamorous life of the British aristocracy and the high-sounding industrial revolution were built on the heavy oppression of the colonies.

The lessons of countless times have confirmed one thing, and any change is built on the bones of a lot of corpses! )
