Chapter 288 Poison Scheme, Profit
In the endless steppe, the remaining 160,000 Tatar cavalry, led by Harinut Aungju, gradually departed.
At the same time, they took with them corpses all over the ground and the freedom they once had.
From now on, they will be subordinates under Zhao Jun, and they are still independent on the surface, but as long as Zhao Jun speaks, they will obediently obey the instructions.
"Lord, will these Tartars be so obedient?
Will you regret it as soon as you go back? ”
Guan Ning looked at the back of the Tartar army and said worriedly.
Zhao Jun shook his head and smiled: "No, they don't dare!" ”
Guan Ning was puzzled: "Just because of that explosives bag? ”
Zhao Jun shook his head: "That's just second, the explosive bag can only fool ordinary Tatars who don't understand anything, and it's of little use to them Tatar high-level." ”
"What about them?"
Guan Ning was even more puzzled.
At this time, Ding Hongguang walked out from the side and explained to him: "If the Tatars want to continue to occupy this grassland now, they must listen to the prince honestly.
Originally, the Tatars had hundreds of thousands of cavalry, which was able to suppress all the other tribes in this steppe, and even more so that the Xiongnu and the Dayue clan were afraid and did not dare to invade their territory too much.
But now, with the addition of the 160,000 cavalry who went back this time, even if they still have 100,000 left in their headquarters, it is only 260,000.
This amount is indeed quite a lot for those small tribes.
But if it is known by the Xiongnu and the Great Moon Clan......"
Guan Ning suddenly realized when he heard this.
continued: "If the Xiongnu and the Great Moon Clan know that the strength of the Tatars has been damaged so badly, I am afraid that they will invade them immediately, and in the face of the two greedy forces, with the current strength of the Tatars, I am afraid that they will be completely annexed by both sides."
Therefore, in order for the Tatars to survive, even if it is to give themselves a time to recover, during this time the Tartars will be obedient and responsive.
On the one hand, they were afraid that the prince would reveal the news that their strength had been greatly reduced and attract the peeps of the Huns and the Dayue clan, and on the other hand, they also wanted to use the power of the prince's side to restore their strength.
The mutual market that the prince just proposed was exactly what they needed, and the Tatars had lost so much combat power at once, and if they wanted to recover, they would inevitably need more population.
And the more people will inevitably need more survival materials, which are all lacking in the barren grassland, but through the mutual market of the prince, they can obtain these materials they lack, so as to restore Dingkou! ”
Speaking of this, Guangning had already guessed most of the reasons why the Tatars were so honest and obedient, but there was still one thing he didn't understand.
He turned his head to look at Zhao Jun and asked, "Lord Wang, you should know their purpose, why did you take the initiative to exchange money with them?"
Wouldn't it be better to keep them weak? ”
Zhao Jun shook his head: "A dog that is too hungry will also eat the lord when he is hungry."
It's best to keep them half-starved and not hungry.
And do you think the king really lacks their little tribute?
Why did the king let them pay tribute in exchange for a share of the supplies?
And haven't you noticed that the strength of the Tatar royal court is not much now? ”
Guan Ning was taken aback, and suddenly remembered that when the prince gave the last order to release arrows just now, most of the arrows in the whole army were fired towards the directly subordinate troops of Harinut Angji!
Unlike other Tatar tribes, almost all of the royal troops under the command of Hazhinut Aung were dressed in leather armor, and they were stronger than the people of other tribes just by looking at them.
But under the last wave of crossbow arrows just now, most of the elite of these Tatar royal court troops died under the rain of arrows before they even had time to show their strength!
The last time the prince let the army release arrows for the last time was actually purposeful!
Guan Ning looked at Zhao Jun in disbelief, but Zhao Jun just smiled slightly:
"The court of the Tatar kingdom is weak, but the strength of those great tribes has not suffered much loss.
The future share of the mutual market is related to the interests of their own tribes, I don't think they will be willing to obediently give up all of them to the Ang Ministry, right?
Watching Hazhinut Aung become the real Great Khan again?
Hehe...... The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
Who wouldn't want to take it a step further?
Lao Guan, don't you say? ”
"Shhh
Guan Ning couldn't help but gasp!
Poison!
It's so poisonous!
This method of his own prince is too poisonous!
Guan Ning finally figured out that this so-called tribute was a means used to divide and disintegrate the Tatar tribes.
After the opening of the mutual market, with the current situation of Tatar, the major tribes will definitely pay tribute to the prince desperately in order to get more shares, so that their tribes can get more shares and more materials, so that more people can appear and increase the combat effectiveness of the tribes.
And in order to obtain this, it is inevitable that the Tatar tribes will not be able to live in harmony with each other, and it is the reality that they will stumble with each other in open and secret battles.
There is infighting within any big force, and this is the same whether it is the Great Song Dynasty, the Tatars, the Xiongnu or the Great Yue Clan.
It's just that they all have one of the strongest forces, suppressing other forces of infighting, which makes the whole tribe condense into a group to fight against other forces.
The Great Song Dynasty was the royal family, the Tatars were the royal courts, and the Dayue clan and the Xiongnu were also their respective royal courts.
And now, the Tatar royal court has suffered heavy losses under Zhao Jun's deliberate targeting!
There is no longer the strength to suppress the major tribes.
In such a situation, the existing contradictions of the major tribes will erupt in the competition for interests, and thus completely break up!
And the prince can balance among them and use the share of the mutual market in his hand to control the situation.
Support the weak tribes, suppress the strong tribes, and use the interests to play the entire Tatar tribe in applause!
It's horrible! It's horrible!
Guan Ning shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.
These scholars are really terrible in their brains, and they can't be played by a martial artist themselves.
Guan Ning here finally figured out all the joints, but over there Ding Hongguang was already reporting to Zhao Jun the final result of this battle.
"Lord Wang, in this operation, my Yunzhou army dispatched a total of 260,000 soldiers and horses, and after the inspection just now, about 7,000 people were killed in several charges, and according to statistics, a total of about 240,000 enemies were killed this time!
Since you have asked the Tatar corpse to be brought back, the exact number cannot be counted.
However, the corresponding military exploits have been counted by military judges at all levels, and they will be compiled into a document and reported to you in detail after returning. ”
"Well, well done, the bereavement pension for the fallen soldiers must be in place, and for those who have children in their families, they must act according to the rules, and they are not allowed to delay half a penny of food and clothing, and they are not allowed to be bullied in the future.
Aren't most of the military families living together?
When you get back, you can count how many households there are, and ask everyone to vote for some representatives and set up a mutual aid association for military families.
On weekdays, he helps take care of military families, and for the care of martyrs' orphans, etc., the money and food are provided by the palace, and the king will let the princess serve as the president.
There is also the calculation of military exploits, which must be accurate and in place, not to miss a single person, and no one is allowed to be greedy for the merits under the command of Mo, if the king knows, he will not be spared.
We can't chill the hearts of the soldiers and let them shed blood and tears, understand? ”
"Yes! The end will understand! ”
