Chapter 276: Zhou Cheng's means

After all, these people have been the leaders of the Black Water Department for many years, so each of them has a large number of hardcore supporters, so the leaders of dozens or hundreds of small tribes, their families, and subordinates, more than 2,000 people have been arrested.

After arresting these leaders at the beginning, many of the Blackwater tribesmen who did not know the truth immediately became angry, thinking that Han Min's deception of their trust, so tens of thousands of people clamored for the release of Eguchi.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, it was Lu Han and Zhou Cheng who stood up, and they came up with a lot of evidence to explain the conspiracy of these former clan leaders, because of Lu Han's high prestige among the people of Heishui, although these people were still a little suspicious in their hearts, but after all, they did not make any more loud noise.

At this time, a few tribal leaders who participated in this matter, but who changed their fortunes in battle, took the initiative to confess the conspiracy of their leaders, which was to provoke a fight between the Heishui tribe and the Han people, so that they could pull back all the tribes who were bent on defecting to the Han people.

Although this will kill many Blackwater tribesmen, these Blackwater clan leaders can maintain their power and status, and in the eyes of these leaders, even if there are more Blackwater tribesmen who die, their status is not more important.

Because of the lack of involvement of these leaders, and the fact that Zhou Cheng and Zhang Chen personally promised that as long as they testified, they could not only be exonerated from their charges, but also continue to become free citizens under the rule of the East China Sea, and could enjoy many benefits that only the people of the East China Sea have.

After some ideological struggle, these leaders immediately agreed to come down, as long as they could live, they didn't care about the life or death of the previous tribal leaders.

After hearing the confessions of these leaders, the vast number of people in the Heishui tribe were angry, and they had been suspicious of this matter because of Lu Han before, but now these leaders admitted that they would exchange their future and lives for their own status.

This kind of thing suddenly made these Blackwater tribesmen feel that they had been deceived, so they rushed to the leaders who had been sentenced to death and punched and kicked them, not wanting to because there were too many people in the Blackwater Tribe, and finally these former clan leaders died in the angry hands of their former tribesmen.

Although Zhang Chen also sighed in his heart that he really wouldn't die if he didn't die, he suddenly saw Zhou Chengzheng nodding and smiling at the angry crowd, there were a few Blackwater tribesmen who had taken the lead in beating those leaders before, it seemed that there was some insider!

No matter what the inside story is, Zhang Chen can't care about it, and he doesn't want to care about it, the most important thing now is how to divide and disperse these tens of thousands of people of the Black Water Ministry, and it is not too easy to integrate all these Black Water Mins into a qualified Han Min.

Although Zhang Chen has no experience, Zhou Cheng has not been in vain over the years, and with his guidance, things have become easier all of a sudden.

Because the hidden danger had been completely cleared, Zhou Cheng took advantage of the prestige of the Haotian Daomen Daoists, especially the group of Taoists led by Lu Han, among the Blackwater tribesmen, and declared to the tens of thousands of Heishui tribesmen that only the people of Haotian God could enjoy a superior life.

The Beyoshi savage soldiers who joined the army before went to war because they served the protector king of Haotian God, and then they were rewarded by the protector king, which was a gift from the protector king.

And the tens of thousands of Blackwater tribesmen in front of them are not eligible for such good preferential treatment because they are not suitable for joining the army, but there is another way for these Blackwater tribesmen to enjoy a slightly lower level of preferential treatment, that is, to become a qualified Donghai Xia people, that is, Han people's identity.

Lu Han declared to these Heishui tribes that because only Han people were the only race favored by Haotian God, only these Heishui tribes could learn the language, writing, etiquette, and clothing of the Han people, and these Heishui tribes could become Han people, and eventually enjoy the national treatment of the East China Sea.

In order to be able to enjoy the treatment as soon as possible, at their strong request, a certain number of Taoist priests and others were sent from Jiangkou City to teach them Chinese, Chinese characters and etiquette, if it wasn't for the fact that it was still the middle of winter, I am afraid that even the leather clothes on their bodies would be lost by them.

Everything is afraid that you don't have what you want, as long as you have a desire, then things will be easy to do, and then under the pretext of improving children's learning ability, tens of thousands of children under the age of twelve in the Blackwater Ministry, regardless of gender, were all sent to the school in Eguchi City.

In this way, these children were separated from the adults, but because the school was handing out clothes, eating and housing, and the food they ate was even envied by the people of the Black Water Department outside, so they didn't think that this was a hostage, and they were very grateful in their hearts.

After all, his children have a better future, and they eat, study, and sleep with Hermes-Epitek's children, no matter how you look at them, they treat each other as equals.

After picking out the children under the age of twelve, Zhang Chen selected all the boys and women between the ages of thirteen and eighteen in these subordinates, and sent them all to learn skills; The remaining less than 2,000 young men of these tribes were selected into the newly formed militia through a series of selections.

After such a distribution, the blackwater tribes in Jiangkou City were packed up and obedient, and after continuous deployment in the back, a large number of blackwater tribes were transported to Whale Island, Sakhalin Island and other places, and there was no incident. boundless

In the days to come, Zhang Chen continued to sigh and admire Zhou Cheng's methods in front of people, and he was worthy of being a disciple of Liu Lao Immortal, this trick.

With the completion of the work of incorporating the Blackwater Ministry, Jiangkou City has also entered a time when it has to be carried out in a hurry to take over the large areas of territory of the former Heishui Ministry.

After all, at this time, because the Heishui was still in the primitive society of fishing and hunting, the demand for land was still very longing, and only with enough land could we obtain enough food sources and feed enough people.

Now that the Black Water tribes within two or three hundred miles of Jiangkou City have been absorbed, and then continue to be transported in the direction of Whale Island and Sakhalin Island, if they dare not enter and occupy their territory, it will be easily occupied by other surrounding tribes.

At that time, it was easy for the two sides to have conflicts over the land issue, so under Wang Ze's order, the occupation of the area west of Jiangkou Castle and along the river, as well as the establishment of new reclamation points, began.

Just as the teams of men and horses were marching up the river, the scout jungle battle between the Xia army of the East China Sea and the overlord of the East China Sea Goguryeo in Zhenhai in the south was already in full swing.

In Zhenhai, because Zhang Hang's military rank is the highest, Zhang Hang is fully responsible for the battles here, and Cao An, Zhao Qin, and the reinforcements that came later must all obey Zhang Hang's arrangement.

For Zhang Hang, who has presided over many large-scale battles, this battle is the most uncomfortable battle he has ever fought.

In the past, whether it was fighting the Tamna, Baekje, Silla, or the Japanese people, or the Qi army, the two sides always set up a battle formation to unify the battle, and after a hearty battle, the victory and defeat were divided.

The whole battle is crisp and neat, never dragging mud and water, even if there is a long-term confrontation, there will be fierce confrontations, where will there be today's situation, this time I fought with the Goguryeo, and I haven't seen a serious enemy since the beginning of their attack?

This time, the Goguryeo people successfully used the recruited Baishan tribe and the Beiwofu people as the main force to carry out infiltration and harassment tactics, making it difficult for the ordinary soldiers of the Blue Wolf Army in Jinhae to deal with.

These indigenous soldiers are very familiar with the local mountain and forest environment, and often lure the soldiers of the Blue Wolf Army to pursue, and then use small units to circle behind the large army, and then flee with a surprise attack, in addition, they are equipped with very good weapons, and their combat effectiveness has also been greatly improved.

What makes Zhang Hang and others even more mad is that when these indigenous soldiers move on the snow, they use sleds, and the proficiency of people playing this thing is much stronger than that of the soldiers of the Blue Wolf Army, after all, the winter in the Tongmen River basin where these indigenous tribes live is also extraordinarily long, and it is icy and snowy for nearly half a year.

However, fortunately, Zhao Qin then came to Zhenhai with more than 4,000 soldiers from the Heishui tribe recruited from the mouth of the river in the north, plus the 2,000 soldiers from the nearby Beji tribe recruited by Zhao Qin here, there were more than 6,000 indigenous warriors who were good at jungle warfare.

However, these newly recruited soldiers had not been systematically trained after all, and although they were brave and fearless in battle, they were much worse in terms of organization and discipline, and thanks to the fact that their opponents were also scattered in the White Mountains and the Northern Wofu.

The two sides are also loose in temperament, and they have also not undergone any decent military training, so after more than ten days of fighting, the two sides have achieved a record of half a catty to eight taels.

However, as Goguryeo purged the tribes that were unwilling to completely surrender to them, many of the Begi Savage tribes between Jinhae and Najin Fortress were forced to take sides on both sides.

In the eyes of the Goguryeo people, this was the case, either friend or foe, which led to a large number of tribes being destroyed because of their previous attitude, and many small tribes who did not want to be involved in the melee between the two sides fled in the direction of Sumo, Fune, Angucha and Bolu.

As a result, the other major tribes that remained between Zhenhai and Luojin City also chose to take sides, and the tribes in this area began to officially divide into two hostile groups.

Because Goguryeo has been the overlord of the East China Sea for hundreds of years after all, its deterrent effect is higher, which also leads to more indigenous tribes who have taken refuge in Goguryeo.

However, although the Goguryeo side initially recruited more indigenous soldiers than Jinhae, when many of the remnants of the tribes that had been purged by Goguryeo began to take refuge in Jinhae, the number of indigenous soldiers between Jinhae and Najin Fortress was actually about the same.

Due to the large number of local soldiers, the battles between the two sides were now mainly focused on the battles between their respective tribes and the vanguard scouts, which were not large in number, but they were very fierce and brutal.
