Chapter 923: Integrating the Xianglong People
"Generals, from now on, this is your new home, I wonder if you are satisfied with this place?" Gavin asked, pointing to the vast plain in front of him with his horsewhip.
Gavin returned to Klont this time, not alone, but with a special army and immigrants.
They were none other than the Xianglong slave soldiers who had been rescued from the Tucans.
Previously, from the hands of the Lessermans, he had taken over 18,000 Xianglongren prisoners of war, of which 8,000 were armed by him into Far Eastern heavy cavalry, and the 10,000 Xianglongians who were eliminated were temporarily placed in Kront City.
In the attack and defense of the city of Tefram, they used a trick to guide the remaining Xianglong slave soldiers out of the siege, and their quantity and quality were higher, there were 25,000 men, of which 12,000 were armed, and they joined forces with the original army to form two Far Eastern heavy cavalry corps.
Originally, Gavin planned to place this Xianglong people in the Great Valley.
But the Sesk merchants, now that they had promised themselves the plains of Aisannas, had to adjust their plans accordingly.
After all, there are aborigines in the Great Valley, and its own attribute labels are very strong.
Even if Gavin's reputation here is very high, in a short period of time, there is no way to change a lot of things that have been integrated into their bones, and rashly bring a large group of immigrants who also have strong exotic attributes to the past, once it is not handled carefully, it is easy to cause conflicts between the two sides, which is not conducive to subsequent development and growth.
Anyway, everything is starting from scratch, so why not do what you do best?
Create your own dragon territory here in Aishanas.
Like most of the kingdoms of Ferron, the kingdom of Sesk is also sparsely populated, most of the land is deserted, and most of the people live near the Golden Road, which has now been almost destroyed by the Tucans, leaving only the lone capital of Typhram.
The Plains of Aishanas is a virgin land that has never been explored, and there are basically no intelligent life, and there are also intelligent monster tribes instead of human villages.
This is another shrewdness of the Sesk merchants, who trade an undeveloped piece of wasteland for the addition of a battle-hardened general.
Guo Conglong turned over and jumped off the war horse, grabbed a handful of soil, crushed it and smelled it, and finally even pinched a handful, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and on his face full of vicissitudes, he couldn't help but float a smile and said: "This land is very fertile, and it only needs to be cultivated and repaired a little to become the best fertile land." β
In the end, the Xianglong general's brows couldn't help frowning, and he said with a puzzled face, "This kind of black land is the most nourishing, if the area here is really as large as the general said, it is no problem to support millions of people, why is this place so barren?" Not even the slightest trace of cultivation? β
In the Xianglong Empire, this kind of large-scale undeveloped wilderness grassland is an incredible thing.
"This is the result of the different deity systems we discussed earlier, the Faren god system is relatively chaotic, it is made up of multiple god systems, and there is a lot of fighting within it.
This kind of infighting consumes most of the energy of the gods, so that they can't manage the affairs of mortals.
And your nine immortals are different, they directly decentralize the divine power, put a lot of divine power in the hands of emperors and officials, and there are countless heavenly officials to assist them in governing worldly things.
The monster race in the wilderness is no match for them at all, making it easier for humans to multiply and explode in numbers. β
During this time, Gavin communicated with these Xianglong people a lot, and gained a deeper understanding and understanding of that distant empire.
The Tukan people's belief that the people of the Xianglong people hold divine power is incorrect.
There is also its own god system, but it is not called a god, but an immortal, called the Nine Walkers, or the Nine Immortals.
To be more precise, it should be the decentralization of divine power, the Nine Immortals of the Heavenly Court delegated part of the power in their hands to the emperors and officials, and sent millions of heavenly officials to assist them in governing worldly things.
In addition, the invasion of the Lingshan Buddhist belief system in the Zakqara subcontinent is also secretly fueling this statement, confusing the public, and paving the way for replacing the heavenly court.
What interests Gavin the most is the theocratic decentralization, which is very similar to his current situation, except that he started it himself.
Only he knew that the convenience of human power was a problem for ordinary people, and it was not a problem for him at all.
Only in the context of stable development can there be a possibility of a big explosion of the population.
Guo Conglong said bitterly: "The general only saw the advantages, but he did not see the disadvantages.
Those adults in the court only inherited the ability of the Nine Immortals, but did not inherit their character, they still have selfish desires, and many people put their interests above the people.
When they no longer fight simply to protect the country and the people, the greater the power in their hands, the greater the disaster they bring.
Compared with the losses caused by the invasion of the Tukans, the war between the two dynasties of Xianglong and Tulong, which lasted for hundreds of years, brought the greatest losses.
If it weren't for the fact that a large-scale war broke out between the two empires again, and a large number of elite soldiers stationed on the Xianglong Great Wall were transferred to the south, even if the Tukan people broke through the Xianglong Great Wall, they would not be able to run deep and be driven out by heavy losses. β
This general used to be an official in the Xianglong Dynasty to the sixth rank, and he was the highest official among these Xianglong people, although he was not a member of the imperial court, but he was also a local general who guarded one side, and the information of the Xianglong Dynasty in his hands was far from being comparable to that of ordinary Xianglong people.
From them, Gavin learned more about the Far East.
Far from being the peaceful and rich land of the legend, the continent was also filled with a lot of strife.
It's just that the object of the fight is no longer the many monsters in the wilderness, but the same kind.
Like all ancient empires, the Xianglong Empire began to concentrate its internal resources as it took longer to build, giving birth to huge families, which slowly turned into gate valves.
Due to the decentralization of divine power, the situation of the family gate valve is particularly serious.
With mortals controlling the divine power for a long time, not only did they not give those people a life far beyond ordinary people, but if they were not careful, they would be counterattacked because they could not suppress this power and die young.
Those Xianglong people, who have a very strong clan concept, naturally put their ideas on family inheritance, and try their best to let the next generation inherit their bloodline and ability.
In addition, the Nine Elements of the Heavenly Palace are not uneaten, and under the lure of those mortals by unscrupulous means, they have more or less left their own blood in the mortal world, which is the foundation of many family gates.
Since mortals pursue to become a member of the Nine Immortals, they call the process of cultivating themselves immortals.
When they go to the mortal world, they cultivate and cross the tribulation.
The family formed by them is naturally called the Immortal Cultivation Family.
Over time, the power of the Xianglong Empire was controlled by those immortal cultivation families.
There are very few court officials above the third grade, like Guo Conglong, who came from the bottom.
Ninety-nine percent of them came from those immortal cultivation families, and the Xianglong Imperial Family was the largest immortal cultivation family, and at the same time, most of the output of the Xianglong Empire also went into their pockets to maintain the terrifying consumption of their immortal cultivation.
And these immortal cultivation families maintained common rule through secular marriages, which caused the entanglement within the Xianglong Empire.
The drama of palace fighting and infighting in the secular dynasty was also staged here.
A thousand years ago, the originally unified Xianglong Dynasty was divided into two because of the infighting of the Xiuxian family.
The north is still in the hands of the Xianglong Empire's royal family.
Those rebellious Xiuxian families established the Tulong Dynasty in the southern part of the empire.
Both sides believe that they are orthodox and have been fighting each other for many years.
Due to the hostile relationship between the two sides, the golden road can only lead to the Xianglong Empire, and the output here alone can meet the current needs of the Faren Continent.
This has led to many people in Feilun who only know the Xianglong, but not the Earth Dragon.
There is no direct relationship between theocracy decentralization and chaos.
Once they are in turmoil, barbarians like Tucan, who have been pressed to the ground and rubbed against them, will rise up and cause them no small damage.
It's just that this time Yamen Khan has the fragments from the Faeron Killing Godhead, and the series of injuries caused are particularly serious, somewhat hurting the bones of the Xianglong Empire.
Regarding the affairs of the Xianglong Empire, Gavin only listened to the story of cultivating immortals, because of the Kyushu enchantment, it was more troublesome to go there than to go to other planes, and it could only be done through mundane means.
Gavin had reason to suspect that this situation was not unique to the Soaring Dragon Empire, and that the other continents of Torrell had similar protective barriers.
This is the only way to explain why the mages did not discover the existence of these continents until they were explored on land or by sea.
If it is one or two, it can also be explained by natural formation, and if all of them are like this, then it can only be attributed to human sake.
It is possible that these were built by the locals to protect themselves, or it is possible that the gods there were built to protect their faith from the onslaught of the gods of other continents.
Gavin believed that the latter was more likely, and perhaps Faeron was protected by the same law, but they themselves did not know.
"General Guo, what do you think we should do next?" Gavin's question was clearly a bit of a scrutiny.
Due to the multi-race reasons in his own territory, Gavin is familiar with the governance of his subordinates of different races.
The Xianglong people are different from the existing humans in Feilun, no matter how big the difference is, can it be greater than those essences who are closed and conservative by nature? Those stubborn dwarves? Those goblins born as a race of monsters?
When we try to change the inherent character and customs of a race, we are walking on the opposite side of the race, and we will do everything with half the effort.
But if you actively explore their strengths and put them in the right position, it will get twice the result with half the effort.
For the Dragons, Gavin is also ready to take this approach.
Appropriately delegate power to the original ruling class of the Xianglong people, let them govern themselves, establish a relatively traditional Xianglong people's territory, and fully tap their strengths.
As for the strengths of the Xianglong people.
Undoubtedly, it is their farming attributes.
Thousands of years of farming civilization have given them a deep attachment to the land.
As long as they are given a piece of territory, they can bloom their own brilliant spark of civilization.
And this is also the best means of tethering these rootless duckweed.
These Xianglong people may be grateful to themselves, but their loyalty is definitely debatable, and it is completely forced to do so.
If they were given a chance to return to the Xianglong Empire, even if it was tens of thousands of kilometers away and there were countless difficulties and obstacles, most of them would do their best to go back.
Nostalgia for the homeland.
It's their greatest strength, and it's Gavin's favorite place, but it's also where they get into trouble.
Gavin already had a solution to this.
As long as they have their own land and a new family here, let them find a new home here, establish their second hometown, and have a far better life and future than in the Xianglong Empire.
I believe that at that time, how to choose will be much easier.
Guo Conglong was obviously prepared, and replied without thinking: "Although the land here is fertile, the overall terrain is relatively northern, and the spring is late and the winter is early.
If you are in the south, you have already started to plough the ground on a large scale to prepare for sowing, and it is still a frozen soil, but I am afraid that it can only be harvested once a year, and at most it can be mixed with some crops that are more resistant to cold or can survive the winter.
Fortunately, this deficiency can be compensated for by quantity.
But it takes time to reclaim new land, and even with a large number of livestock as support, it will take at least two years to achieve food self-sufficiency. β
The answer given by the general of the Xianglong people was relatively conservative, and at the same time, he reminded Gavin in disguise that the burden of the supply of the Xianglong people in the past two years had to be on him.
At the same time, Guo Conglong also knew that this was one of the important means for the young general to control their new followers.
Many things are universal, and the scheming methods that are easy to use in the Xianglong Empire can also be eaten in this land called Feilun.
"As for logistical supplies, you can rest assured, another advantage of choosing here to establish a territory is that in a short period of time, the price of meat is cheaper than grain and vegetables.
Most of the Tucan's baggage supplies are still frozen in Lake Asen.
I have signed an alliance with the Witch Council of the Lesserman Kingdom, and they are willing to provide us with a portion of the frozen meat.
Not only are the armed cloud rays capable of bombardment in the air, but they are also outstanding in air transport, and I will mobilize them by air from other territories. β
Gavin felt that his development in the Desperate Eastern Regions was much smoother than in other territories.
Things that used to be difficult for him, now he can come up with many solutions when he turns his head.
As long as you give yourself three or five years to operate, this place will change from the front to the rear.
Although there are strong neighbors here.
But one has become a strategic partner.
The other's focus is mainly on his allies, and the pressure does not have to be carried by himself.
Hearing the name of the armed cloud ray, not only Guo Conglong, but also the nearby Xianglong soldiers instinctively raised their heads and looked into the sky.
There were four clouds in the shadows, and there were inconspicuous black dots hovering around them.
I couldn't help but think of those behemoths bombarding the battlefield indiscriminately.
Guo Conglong praised from the bottom of his heart: "The general is really very human, he has both extraordinary means and extraordinary ideas, and it is not untamed in Xianglong, a unique demon beast."
But they are only willing to be kept in captivity in the family mountain gate, and even ordinary people are stingy to let them witness, let alone assist ordinary people. β
"Not before, doesn't mean there will be no in the future, many ideas will change, I'm afraid that in a few years, the entire continent will be floating in the sky." Gavin couldn't help but sigh.
Just as he had predicted, when the armed cloud rays showed their might, countless people would surely follow suit.
Not only did King Yasan show a keen interest in them, but the merchants of Sesk were the first to perceive their commercial value.
The safety of cargo transportation by air is much greater than that on land.
More than one wave of merchants has approached Gavin through various channels to buy an armed cloud ray from him.
The two smaller armed cloud rays were priced at five million each.
The huge one is even more expensive than 15 million.
Even those armed wyverns were priced at 500,000 each.
After being rejected by Gavin, they did not give up, but proposed a similar intention to cooperate with King Yasan.
Gavin didn't say no to this, because he knew it was a big trend.
His self-cherishing will only stimulate the R&D enthusiasm of other forces to find other solutions.
Gavin would never underestimate the ability of those spellcasters, especially those legendary spellcasters, who can't be solved by ordinary magic, just because targeted legendary magic can't be solved.
What's more, there are gods standing behind.
It is better to find ways to maximize the benefits before the depreciation of the subduation method.
Gavin gives different prices to different forces, and the typical ones vary from person to person.
What he asked the Sesk merchants for was not the right of passage in the airspace, but one of three drawsβfor every three cloud rays he subdued, one would be his.
After all, they even need other people to help recover their ground territory, let alone any airspace rights.
Weak countries have no diplomacy.
The various rights of the state and the forces are all based on strong military power.
If the Cormier Kingdom itself was not strong enough, Gavin would not have had any airspace access with him before.
Guo Conglong complimented: "The general has already walked in front of everyone, I believe that you will be able to maintain this advantage, and most of the figure will belong to us." β
Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear.
Hearing this, Gavin couldn't help but show a smile and said: "By the general's auspicious words, I will try to keep it up, we will continue the topic just now, and in the process of development, there are three points that you need to pay special attention to." β
Guo Conglong tidied up his clothes and said with a solemn face: "General, please make it clear." β
