Some people like a calm and stable life, and some people like a war-torn life. Some people like to be nobles in the country, and some people like to be the overlord of the land in the wilderness.

This is the case with the noble families who went to pioneer.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves sounded, and I saw four hundred cavalry rushing straight down like a violent wind, and the four hundred elite horsemen formed a conical formation, like an awl, to chisel through the miscellaneous military formation.

These elite cavalry of Wanlibao were condescending, and the speed of the war horses was fast, and before those miscellaneous cavalry could react, these elite cavalry had already rushed over.

Collapse!

With a shake of the bowstring, the elite cavalry of Wanlibao shot arrows, and those miscellaneous cavalry were instantly shot down. Then the knights put away their bows and arrows, raised their spears, and rushed straight into battle through the gap.

Originally, the formation of the Zahu cavalry was loose, and after the gap was opened, how could it be blocked? One after another, the miscellaneous beards were directly picked up by the spear and knocked to the ground.

Seeing this, the rest of the zahu immediately scattered and fled, and the four hundred elite horsemen easily chiseled through the formation, then turned their horses' heads and began to chase the rest of the people.

The cavalry did not confront them, but kept wandering, trying to use cavalry tactics to deal with these elite cavalry, but the effect was not good.

The elite cavalry of Wanlibao did not chase far, and after defeating those cavalry, they returned to the fort.

After many fights, they knew that they could not completely eradicate Zahu now. Only when the territory is strong can it completely control the land here.

At the same time, the development of the south was also in full swing.

The development of the south was earlier than that of the Western Regions, and after these noble families in the south established a stronghold and gained a firm foothold, they did not immediately open up, but first adapted to the environment, built a station, developed agriculture, and gathered manpower. For those barbarians, they also use defense more.

The pioneer aristocracy of the South used a completely different approach than the North. Because the south is mostly hilly and forested, the climate is hot, and the barbarians mostly live in the mountains and forests.

Basically, the village is a unit, and there are many grudges against each other, these barbarians live a very primitive life, and the pioneer nobles in the south will befriend some villages and cave owners, and then unite them to attack those hostile villages and tribes.

Then they exchanged salt, cloth, sugar and other materials for slaves with the tribes who were willing to make friends. After obtaining these slaves, the pioneer nobles of the south sold some of the slaves to be sold, and some of them were kept for farming.

After getting acquainted with the local cave owners and village owners, the pioneer nobles had a better understanding of the operation and rule of those barbarian tribes. So someone came up with some yin damage moves.

Shanyue and Nanban mostly survive in the form of stockades and cave owners, and in a village, the status of the owner of the village is the highest, and then there are some leaders in the camp, small nobles. The vast majority of the rest were slaves of these people.

The ordinary people of Shanyue and Nanban are all slaves of those noble leaders and village owners. The upper aristocracy oppressed the lower people, and the lower people lived in extreme poverty. Originally, if there were no accidents, these Shanyue and barbarians were afraid that they would have been like this until the end of the Ming Dynasty.

However, after the Great Cadres started to open up the wilderness, those pioneering nobles who wanted to expand began to find ways to destroy this system.

These pioneer nobles began to secretly bewitch the villagers in order to develop their territories for a larger population. These people secretly told the low-level villagers that as long as they went to their territory, they would be free, they could cultivate the land, and as long as they paid taxes, the rest of the food would be their own.

At the beginning, those people at the bottom of the mountains and the southern barbarians naturally didn't believe it. After all, Da Qian is an outsider, and he has almost no intersection with them, so these people naturally believe in the owner of the village and the cave owner.

Later, the pioneer nobles began to do these things to those Shanyue and Nanban slaves. They first told the Shanyue and Nanban slaves that as long as they worked for them for five years, they would be free, and they could get a piece of land here to cultivate on their own, and the grain obtained would belong to them after paying taxes.

At first, these Shanyue and Nanban slaves did not believe it, but after five years of farming, those cadres really gave them freedom and allocated their land.

These Shanyue and Nanban slaves, who originally had nothing, became the most loyal embraces of the Great Cadres in a short period of time after they got the fields. He began to learn the dry language quickly, changed his customs, and wore dry clothes.

At this time, except for the Qianren, the other barbarians had no national concept at all, and even the Shanyue and Nanban, which were collectively referred to by the imperial court, were actually divided into tribes and villages.

The pioneer nobles let those naturalized Shanyue and Nanban people go to the bottom of other villages to persuade Shanyue and Nanban, and the effect was far better than that of the dry people.

After all, it is easier to gain trust from people who speak the same language as them than with dry people.

What kind of life did these people live in the cottage? I can't eat enough, I can't wear warm clothes, I have to work for the owner of the village every day, I don't have anything to belong to, and now I see people like myself before, I have my own fields and houses, although I don't eat well, but I can eat enough, and I have salt to eat. It can be said that this kind of day is simply heaven compared to them.

If they don't know what life those people live, the people at the bottom of the cottage Shanyue and the Southern Barbarians can still bear it, but after knowing that people who were originally like them suddenly lived a good life, how could they not be envious?

They can live a good life, why should we be cattle and horses? These people's hearts become unbalanced. But taking the prestige of the village owner and the cave owner in the past, these people can only think about it in their hearts.

Because of the attraction of the nobles, caravans would be sent to these cottages and caves to trade with the barbarians in the caves within a few months, and the things traded were mostly salt, sugar, cloth, a small amount of iron, and so on.

These merchants also got the requirements of the pioneer aristocracy, and began to imperceptibly brainwash those low-level Shanyue and Nanban during the meeting.

Tell them about the life of the common people, and tell them that the mountain barbarians who fled to the territory of the nobility got the fields and houses after a few years. Now they have married their wives and are living their own small lives.

On the other hand, these caravans brought with them a great deal of luxury, such as silk, sugar, refined salt, tea, fine lacquerware, fine wine, and other pleasures for the tribal chiefs who had never seen much of the world.

Few of these leaders can resist these enjoyments, and these things are worth a lot of money, and as long as they have enjoyed them, few people are willing to give them up. But the price of these materials is very expensive, so these leaders have intensified their oppression of the people at the bottom.

And this is exactly what the pioneer aristocracy wanted.
