Chapter 274 An unwilling careerist
The battle between the Million Indian Alliance and the Yanhuang Trading Company officially ended, ending in a crushing defeat for the Indian Alliance. Dozens of tribes scattered, most of them returning to their own tribes. At this time, there was a division within the entire alliance here. With the oath binding, coupled with the shock of the battlefield, ninety percent of the tribes have already accepted their fate, and ordered the tribesmen to gather and wait for the company to take over. All weapons were placed outside the tribe's settlement, meaning they would not continue to resist.
Also because of the oath, they were not so afraid, the company was mainly about increasing the population, not about committing a massacre. However, the remaining ten percent of the tribe was very unwilling. The tribes that accounted for ten percent of the number were all powerful tribes that were once the first and second grades of the entire alliance. Its own strength is also very strong, with tens of thousands of clansmen and thousands of warriors is the minimum standard. Although defeated, these tribes did not fall to the point of collapse. After all, Apache and the other three division commanders did not adopt the strategy of rushing and exterminating, and the 500,000 army was only 230,000.
It's just that the courage of many fighters has been lost, and when they deal with the company's army again, they can exert less than half of the combat effectiveness they used to play. And among the 230,000 troops, these 10 percent of the tribes have 100,000, and from this data, it can be seen that these people must have cheated and cheated on the battlefield. The number of troops of 100,000 was retained, so that these people were not willing to surrender power like this. The people who defected to the company, except for the eagle at the beginning and the patriarch of the Charles family at the back, the other patriarchs have not entered the company's top management now.
Although it is true that the daughters of two men became the wives of Xiao Lin and his two apprentices, the abilities of the two men were indeed outstanding among the two races of this era. However, this does not stop the rumors from being born. And these people actually believe it. If you don't have a daughter as beautiful as Pearl, it seems that you can only be a commoner. Many people are not young, and if they climb from the bottom, they will not be able to regain the same level of power until they die.
The long-term pampered life has made them develop the habit of superiority, and if they become civilians, it is even more terrible than taking their lives. In this regard, it is impossible for Shawlin to compromise. The company's system is basically a clone of the 21st century Huaguo, except that Xiao Lin's "chairman" status is permanent. Anyone who wants to become an official must go through an examination in the company. The exam can be temporarily cancelled during special periods, but it will still be held later. If you can't get through, you won't be able to get the official position you want.
Even if you already have an official position, you will be demoted. If you fail three times, you will be expelled directly. An incompetent official can cause more harm to society than a serial murderer, which is an important conclusion drawn by Xiao Lin from summing up the lessons of history. These people don't want to be assessed in less than three months, and they want the permanent power they want. Xiao Lin will never allow this to happen, if they are honest, they can also run a professional training class for them, as long as they study carefully, there is no situation where they cannot enter the official system.
However, not all of them have made up their minds to default. About one-third of them are just a little unwilling and still dare not continue to challenge the company. If the company's army is overwhelmed, they guarantee to be the first to surrender. As the patriarchs of the three most powerful tribes, Camathea and Longel are still Paka, and the three of them have gathered all the unwilling patriarchs to discuss continuing to rebel against the company. Unbeknownst to them for the time being, the three division commanders continued to advance with their respective three divisions and began to take over the Indian tribes along the way.
These small tribes did not resist, and naturally they did not kill at will. They don't look down on the little wealth of these barbarians, and the looting phenomenon is directly eradicated from the root. As for the women, I have to say that they have never used toothpaste, shower gel and shampoo, or cosmetics these times, and they are wearing a set of beggar-style leather clothes, plus the mud on their bodies, the soldiers are disgusted when they see it, don't talk about it. With this effort, it is better to go to the medical team to show more hospitality to those beautiful and moving female doctors and nurses, and maybe you will find a girlfriend to get off the list.
Sholin also brought in the militia and was responsible for the relocation of the surrendered Indians. In accordance with the policy of multi-ethnic intermingling, they began to move into existing towns one by one. It was all built by the white people, and many of them are still intact, but because the company wants to concentrate the population, many towns are like ghost towns, and there is no one left. Xiao Lin took out a large sum of money and asked the engineering team to renovate and strengthen the town, and he could move in directly. Take a group of people away, and the militia will not return, but will stay in the new town to prevent the new Indians from being instigated to riot.
As people who surrendered after being defeated, if they rioted, they would not have any chance to be forgiven, the militia would shoot directly, and all the rioters would be killed. The transfer is in full swing, and it won't be long before it reaches the ten percent of the tribes who want to break their oaths. Time was running out, and the seven patriarchs were arguing with each other about whether to keep their oath and be swallowed up by the company, or to break their oath and continue to resist the company's conquest at the risk of being abandoned by the gods.
"Everyone, stop arguing, we all know that this is a critical moment of life and death. Everyone knows about this Yanhuang Trading Company, if we surrender like this, we will no longer be a patriarch in the future, but the most ordinary civilian. Our current position is all built and operated by our own efforts, why do they say a word, we have to go back to the starting point. ”
"But we don't care about the gods' oath?"
"Oh, ordinary people don't know, don't we people know? After so many years, have these gods really appeared? Not once, and it is impossible for them to exist or not. ”
"But then why is the Yanhuang tribe still vigorously revering the sun god?"
"Well, it's not that Asians trying to gain the support of our race and buy people's hearts. Whatever you think, either they give me the right or I will continue to resist to the end and let them know how powerful my tribe's warriors are. ”
......
After arguing for a long time, the five tribes decided to resist first. And the remaining two tribes remain neutral, not following or blocking. One of the tribes, because the old patriarch died in battle and the new patriarch succeeded him, actually had a rebellion. Because the old patriarch did not die in the hands of the company, but died in the struggle for the horses in the process of escaping. The old patriarch's war horse is the horse king that the new patriarch personally went deep into the prairie to catch, and his speed and endurance are very strong. In the process of escaping, the son of one of the strongest tribes shot away and let his men kill the old patriarch and his guards.
If it weren't for the ordinary warriors of a tribe lying in the grass and seeing it, the young patriarch might still be kept in the dark. They lied to him that the old patriarch died at the hands of the company, and the young patriarch could only pretend to believe it. He is also from the worst tribe of neutrality, and everyone saw that his father had just died, and they deceived him into allowing him to remain neutral by asking him to hand over some supplies. They didn't know that the young patriarch had planned it a long time ago, and was ready to let the company help him avenge this.
The young patriarch was actually a believer in the sun god, which was determined by his travels as a teenager. For the company that hyped up the sun god, the young patriarch himself had a good impression. It's just that Dad is unwilling, and he can't persuade him, otherwise his tribe would have joined the company a long time ago. This is also an Apache-like character, who is not very interested in becoming a patriarch, but it is his dream to be a great general, and he is also a fan of Apache.
Back in the tribe, the henchmen of the patriarch's family have been waiting for him for a long time.
"Patriarch, how's it going?"
"Hmph, what else can I do, these guys who can't do anything about themselves still want to continue to work with Yanhuang Trading Company. Regarding my father's death, they still insisted on what they said before, I didn't want to join, and they extorted a batch of supplies. ”
"Damn, these people, I'm angry, young patriarch, let's do it with them, the ghost will give them these supplies. ”
"No, it should be given or it must be given, stabilize them for the time being. I can't leave, Thomus, you set out at once with ten elite warriors, find General Apache, and tell him all these things. ”
"Okay, I'll go right away. ”
"Remember, don't try to blackmail anything with intelligence, try to lower your posture, we are the defeated after all. Of course, if we can win enough benefits, it is also very good for us. Even if I don't have it, I won't blame you, we all made a divine oath, and I don't want to be a god's outcast. ”
"Yes. ”
In the middle of the night, eleven figures secretly left the tribe. The people of the other tribes did not monitor them much, so they were naturally not hindered. After a week of wandering, they finally found Apache. Apache was moving three medium-sized tribes at once with his troops, and did not move forward for the time being. He was still very curious to hear the eleven people who reported their intentions and tribal names to the sentinels. For acquaintances, Apache, like Shawlin, is never stingy.
Eleven people were invited to warm military tents and served delicious warm food first. It wasn't until they were all finished eating that Apache reappeared. However, he came out ten minutes after entering, and the news they brought was so important that Apache had to rush to the telegraph tent to get the news to Scholin.
