Chapter 37: Diplomacy by Force
The collapse of the Sinaibu is like the demolition of a fulcrum in this area.
While changing the regional pattern, it not only deterred many tribes, but also attracted many ambitious and powerful tribes.
Therefore, the aftermath work at this time is even more important than the battle, and if the aftermath work is not done well, then what you get on the battlefield will be greatly reduced.
Yan Zheng knew this very well, and on the second day after returning to the tribe, he asked Lu Wan to take a team of armor soldiers to escort several captives of the Xinai Division, and hung the young and strong heads of the Xinai Division, and started a military diplomacy.
The order he gave was simple, and that was to let Lu Wan walk around the territory of the surrounding tribes.
Tell the other tribes that the Sinai tribe has been wiped out by the Mona tribe because of the bullying of the weak, and from now on when they enter the sacred mountain, there will be no one to extort goods.
At the same time, all tribes were told that as long as they were willing to make a deal with Monabu, they would no longer hunt for their heads.
And by the way, they also give a piece of treated leather as a gift, guaranteeing that they will get more and better things than this leather in the transaction.
And when encountering weak tribes, nomadic tribes, and wandering savages, Yan Zheng would ask Lu Wan to tell them that the hunting grounds of the West Naibu would be open for them in the future.
As long as they choose to camp around Monabu's territory, as long as they give a portion of the hunting to Monabu, they can enjoy the protection of Monabu's armor.
Yan Zheng believed that with the blessing of force and the deterrence of eliminating the Western Naibu, this diplomatic action would achieve a good result.
It must be possible for many tribes that are not strong to choose to contact Mona and understand the transaction.
In particular, those who already have hatred for Mona are more likely to come into contact with Mona in a panic.
For these savage tribes, it is difficult for them to imagine that Mona can actually wipe out a tribe and capture their people.
And if Monabu really does it, it means that the balance of power in this region has undergone a change against the sky.
In other words, any tribe will face a possible threat of extermination.
They might have been skeptical at first, but when they went to the territory of the Sinaibu to see it, Yan Zheng believed that they would definitely become smarter.
Like Anabe, they sent the messenger Shiru almost overnight.
"Boss Mo, Zheng, our leader asked me to discuss the deal."
When he was received by the leader and Yan Zheng, Xilu was obviously much more respectful than the last time they met.
Yan Zheng was still kind and friendly, and he said in the tone of an old friend: "There is no hurry to trade!" I would like to take this opportunity to inform you of the Ana Division, that we have ended the war against the Western Nai Division, and the entire Western National Division no longer exists! ”
Xiru's hand trembled a little, and he smiled tremblingly, "Congratulations to you Monabu for achieving such a proud record. ”
Yan Zheng smiled and waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to be proud of, it's all within the responsibility of our Mo Ministry!"
We have said that we will hoe the strong and help the weak in the future, and the Sinai Department should have perished long ago after bullying people for so many years. Only by getting rid of them can everyone enter the mountain unimpeded! ”
Shiru also smiled and said, "Our leader also said that if the Sinaibu can disappear, it will also be a great thing for the Ana Ministry.
Originally, our leader had planned to launch a war against the Sinaibu, but now that you have eliminated the Sinaibu, it has brought a lot of benefits to our Ana Ministry.
And today I have come to inform you that from now on, our tribe will no longer be a grass for Monabu, and we promise you all the terms of the deal. ”
Listening to the savage's simple words, Yan Zheng held back a smile and asked, "Ana really said that he is willing to join the battle against the Sinaibu?" ”
The leader also joked on the side: "Ana, didn't let you make any other requests?" Just agreed to the terms of our last deal? ”
Shiru held back his embarrassment and nodded seriously: "Our leader said that since the tribes have started to trade with each other, then they should trust each other. Our leader also believes that the trade brings something better to the tribe, so he is willing to keep the trade going.
Tribes that trade with each other do not hunt for heads, and this requirement is very reasonable! Tribes that trade with each other and fight together for a common enemy! Yes, too. ”
Yan Zheng laughed, patted Xilu on the shoulder and said, "Leader Ana is right! Then you go back and tell him, and let him tell the other tribes about it as well.
If any other tribe dares to bully you, our Mona warriors will surely do justice for you. Because you are our trading partners, we should protect your interests.
In the same way, if there is a tribe that is not good for our Mona, I hope that your Ana tribe will also send warriors to help. ”
"I'll tell our leader, and I think he'll agree to that," said Shiru. He also said that he hoped to make a deal with Mona as soon as possible, and when the time comes, our tribe will send you the black deer you want. ”
"That's fine!" Yan Zheng said magnificently: "As long as you send it, I promise you that there will be no less, and I also said that you can also collect strange stones and plants and send them over, and we will exchange them with you with skins if they are useful!" ”
Shiru hesitated for a moment and said, "Our leader is still ...... Think...... If you want to trade for something, what you call armor, that is, the thing that your armor wears, we are willing to exchange fifty skins and ten baskets of animal flesh. ”
Yan Zheng's smile dissipated for a moment, and he hurriedly raised his eyebrows at the leader.
When the leader realized this, he immediately smiled and said, "Shiru, armor is a very good thing, but only one is useless.
If you Anab want, prepare animal skins that are higher than mountains, tools sharper than stones, and wood stronger than hardwood. When the time comes, I will send someone to your tribe and teach you how to make armor. ”
Shiru's face was more ugly than crying, and he continued to stammer, "Yes...... One thing is enough, and our leader wants to take one and use it to worship the ancestral spirits! ”
"There is only one thing, and the ancestral spirit will be unhappy!" The leader replied with a smile.
Yan Zheng silently exclaimed on the side, it turned out that the leader was also a master who pretended to be confused.
"Shiru, there is one more thing I want your Anabe to agree to this time, I hope you can bring a few women from the Sinai Department back, we want to exchange relatives with you!" Yan Zheng said suddenly
Xiru was stunned for a moment and said, "Change of family? But we're not a kinship tribe! ”
Yan Zheng pretended not to hear, pulled him to the pile of prisoners, pointed to the female captives who were tied hand and foot, and said, "Look, they are all women from the Sinai Department, one for the other, you can choose!" ”
Shiru looked at the captives and muttered, "But, ...... A"
"Shiru, since we are a friendly tribe, why can't we change relatives?"
"Could it be that you Anabe don't approve of it? If not, then I'll have to think about whether to exchange the good things for you again. ”
Shiru's expression froze, his mind a little confused.
Yan Zheng continued: "If you are willing to change relatives, it means that your Anabe has become more friendly with us, so there will naturally be better things to trade for you!" ”
After speaking, he looked at the armor in the distance, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
Xilu's gaze also looked at the bamboo armor on the armor, he swallowed his saliva and said, "You mean that as long as you change relatives, you are willing to give us bamboo armor?" ”
"Well! It's sure to surprise you then! ”
Shiru gritted his teeth and withdrew his gaze from the armor.
He didn't think much of it, and immediately began to look at these female captives.
In a few moments, he selected five young girl captives.
Yan Zheng was very considerate to let these captives loosen their bonds, and each of them gave a piece of processed leather as a dowry, and then asked the armor to escort them and Xiru back to Anabe.
He believed that the best outcome for these female captives was to mix with various tribes through the exchange of relatives.
The purpose of this is, of course, to disperse these remaining Sinabe people.
Although they were prisoners, the number of people still seemed too much for Monabu, and only by being scattered again could they completely forget about the Sinaibu.
Yan Zheng will also be able to get more people with peace of mind! It's simply a win-win.
In the future, the ideal society he pursued would also atomize the individual, detaching everyone from tribal relations and giving private ownership protection.
In this way, the division of labor and social relations in the savage society can be fundamentally dismantled, so that everyone is directly loyal to Yan Zheng, instead of being loyal to the tribe first and then to Yan Zheng.
"Anabe has succumbed!" The leader said, looking at Shiru's distant back.
"As expected, Ana is a smart man!" Yan Zheng said with a smile.
The leader nodded with a smile and asked again, "Do you really plan to trade the bamboo armor to Ana?" ”
"Of course not! Unless we have a weapon that can deal with bamboo armor. ”
"Then why did you just say that if they agree to change their parents, they will give them bamboo armor."
Yan Zheng laughed loudly and said: "Who said that I would change it to their bamboo armor, there are many good things in the tribe!" I didn't tell Xiru directly that I could trade bamboo armor by changing relatives. ”
The leader was stunned, and his mind seemed to be a little messy.
Yan Zheng scolded secretly, don't blame Lao Tzu for being a scoundrel, blame you for not reading much!
When someone says that there will be a surprise when you do a good job, you should keep letting people explain clearly: what the fuck is called a surprise!
