Chapter 259: Although You Are Dead, You Have Been Enlightened
The Great Cadres defeated the Baiyue army in a battle, and the tribes that were originally friendly with the Great Cadres immediately became more submissive, and even those previously neutral tribes sent envoys to ask for friendship with the Great Cadres.
For these tribes, Wang Cheng directly asked them to reorganize their troops and horses, and cooperate with Daqian to continue the attack on other tribes.
There are already many contradictions between these tribes, and seeing that Daqian is so powerful, they are naturally willing to follow them. With these tribes who know the terrain to lead the way, those tribes have nowhere to hide.
The hundred Vietnamese barbarians are still in a tribal state, and the Fang State is also a tribal alliance, and the attainments of fighting are too far from the Central Plains, and the only advantage is the geographical advantage. However, after those tribes who took refuge in Daqian, even the geographical advantage was lost.
Wang Cheng did not get carried away because of the successive victories, he was very vigilant and did not attack dangerous places. Even after those southern barbarian tribes retreated into the mountains, they directly led the army to retreat.
Most of these tribal forces that have taken refuge in the big cadres are relatively weak, and the Southern Barbarian Coalition Army cannot defeat the big cadres and suffer big losses, so they want to take advantage of these small tribes to vent their anger. So he led his troops to attack the stockades of these tribes.
Wang Cheng is also happy to see this kind of success, the greater the hatred between them, the easier it is for the big cadres to rule.
At the same time, Wang Cheng also carefully selected a location and prepared to catch them all.
Wang Cheng took the opportunity to invite these tribes to relocate from the mountains, and when they knew that these tribes were going to flee, the Hundred Vietnamese Barbarian Coalition Army immediately began to pursue.
As a result, they were easily introduced into a valley, and when these barbarians entered the valley, Wang Cheng, who had been preparing for a long time, directly ordered to set fire.
The hay and firewood sprinkled with a large amount of fire oil immediately burned, and soon the trees and weeds were ignited, and billowing black smoke filled the valley. Countless barbarians wailed and screamed in the smoke of the fire.
The heart-rending screams were terrifying, but Wang Cheng had no expression on his face, and kept letting the soldiers roll the grass balls down and burn, and finally there was no sound in the valley.
Listening to those screams, Cangwu Taishou felt his scalp tingle, so he spoke: "King, although these people are barbarians, does such a massacre hurt the heavens? ”
Wang Cheng glanced at him, and then said: "Cangwu Taishou, this is a war, there is no room for mercy, killing prisoners, killing those women and children, the old and weak is slaughter, the lone one did not order anyone to kill the prisoners, and the second did not rob the women and children, it can be called a teacher of benevolence and righteousness." ”
"Besides, if they don't want to die, they can surrender, but until now, the Lone King has not seen anyone surrender, so the Lone King can only kill the killer."
"Surrender." Cangwu Taishou looked at the valley that had not yet been extinguished, and was silent.
Surrender? How to vote, will these people be very good? We can't understand the barbarian language, and if we don't understand it, we haven't surrendered, so let's kill it.
"Cangwu Taishou, do you understand? This is the royal Taoism. The imperial brother asked you to serve as the head of this Cangwu County, which is to let you promote the royal Taoism and let these barbarian people become the people of Zhuxia.
The barbarian people drink blood, I don't know what good etiquette is? Let them understand etiquette, know and educate, and become the people of Zhuxia, I believe that they must be happy in their hearts.
You continue to promote the royal Taoism here, if you do a good job, the lone king will write to the emperor's brother, and it is not impossible for him to become the prime minister. ”
Cangwu Taishou instantly realized: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty must conscientiously implement the royal Taoism and not disappoint you and Your Majesty." ”
"It's good to understand." Wang Cheng nodded and said: "Haotian God and King Wen are both merciful, we must also follow the will of Haotian God and King Wen, those women and children who have lost their men will inevitably starve to death, how can we, as a state of etiquette, be indifferent to see them suffering?" Go, let the soldiers deliver these women and children from their misery. ”
Cangwu was too shou and suddenly numb, and at this time he realized that he was still too young, and this set of kings was really broad and profound.
Cangwu Taishou, who understood the king's Taoism, immediately began to act, and immediately sent people to break through the empty cottage of the hundred Vietnamese barbarians, brought back all the women and children among them, and then distributed them to the soldiers of Cangwu County.
At the same time, the soldiers were encouraged to marry more wives and concubines, have more children, crack down on those barbarians who did not want to be attached, organize the people for the barbarians who were attached, and encourage Baiyue women to marry Zhuxia soldiers.
It only needs to continue to promote two generations, and after those people die, these people who learn the culture of the Central Plains, speak Daqian Yayin, wear fancy clothes, and know etiquette, they are the people of Zhuxia, and they are unanimously recognized physically and psychologically.
Coupled with the immigrants from generation to generation in the Central Plains or the distribution of prisoners, a hundred years later, this place will naturally become the land of Zhuxia since ancient times.
Wang Cheng went to Lingnan this time to give the people of Lingnan a chance to bathe in Wanghua and join the summer.
After defeating the Baiyue tribe, the remaining Baiyue barbarians were all shocked, and the royal Taoist policy implemented by Cangwu Taishou was very smooth.
All the decrees were unimpeded, and no one dared to resist.
In addition to these, Wang Cheng also asked the county guard to recruit barbarians to dig roads, dredge waterways, and strengthen the connection between Cangwu and the Central Plains. After that, Cangwu will receive the support of the advanced technology of the Central Plains, and a large number of iron weapons will also be distributed to the garrison.
With the support of the advanced productive forces of the Central Plains, it was not difficult for Cangwu County to suppress those Baiyue barbarians. In addition to suppressing the barbarians, having more children will be an important policy in Cangwu County.
After completing this, Wang Cheng continued to march south. At the same time, this time in the south, Wang Cheng recruited a large number of Baiyue barbarians as auxiliaries. The original army of 20,000 quickly swelled to 50,000.
The recruitment of these Baiyue barbarians was naturally to reduce the casualties of the Daqian soldiers, and at the same time, it was also to reduce the population of the Baiyue barbarians. In these places, the number of Baiyue barbarians is too much, otherwise it is not conducive to the education of the royal Tao.
Of course, Wang Cheng did not abuse these auxiliary soldiers, and also gave them the treatment of auxiliary soldiers, and these Baiyue people immediately wanted to die for Wang Cheng.
You must know that these people of Shanyue used to live in poverty, and all their property belonged to the tribal leaders, and when they came here, they could not only eat enough but also distribute the spoils of war, which was a great good thing for them.
With the help of these auxiliaries, the Daqian army can be said to be invincible.
It is not difficult for us to find in history that after China moved from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to unification, the Daqian Dynasty soon began to expand outward. During this period, the royal Taoism played a crucial role. Through the dissemination of advanced productive forces, systems, etiquette and other aspects, the Great Cadres slowly developed from the initial resistance to the royal Taoism to acceptance, recognition, and later active participation. Among them, it is the sacrifice and sweat of the ancestors, and it is also the victory of civilization over barbarism, the victory of Zhuxia, and the victory of civilization. - "The Development of Civilization"
