Odojia, the Marquis of Guishuang, was lying on the ground on all fours, his head stretched out, and he stared at Zhao Tuo on the carriage with a pleading look on his face.
Although his accent in Qin language is still a bit strange, it is much smoother than the string of stumbling words for mercy he used before, which shows that he has practiced a lot in private.
This was the first Qin language he learned, taught by Li Shiqi on the road.
The Marquis of Kushan, whose courage was broken by the Qin army, had long forgotten his dream of the Kushan Empire, and now he only wanted to survive.
Not only him, but behind him, tens of thousands of Yuezhi people who wanted to survive also followed this sentence with strange expressions, their faces full of fear.
The thousands of black-armored soldiers behind the Qin generals brought a huge sense of oppression to these Yuezhi people, as if heavenly soldiers were coming, making them unable to resist.
Zhao Tuo looked at these Yuezhi people carefully and saw a strong desire to live in them.
He said to the Guishan Jihou who was lying on the ground: "I promised before that if you help Great Qin to surrender the Guishan tribe and allow our army to capture the Helan Grassland, I will spare your life. This promise is valid."
Li Shiqi stood nearby and acted as a translator.
"General, the soil here is fertile. In addition to grazing livestock, it is also used for farming. You see, if you farm there, the harvest will be wrong every year.
"Then I am very concerned about the location of Yinchuan in my previous life."
Ou Qin's performance along the way is remarkable. He can always come up with some useless strategies, and he is a counselor who makes mistakes.
Before Ou Qin finished his instructions, he stopped taking care of that matter and let Zhao Tuo take full charge of it.
I want to learn Zhuge Liang's way of working. If I get sick from overwork and die from overwork, this is bad.
I once purchased Ningxia millet from a certain online store. It was said to be "watered by the Yellow River and stuffed with fine rice". The taste was very wrong.
As a qualified military general, when the Qin army arrived at an important military contention such as Helan Mountain, they naturally wanted to personally explore the geographical environment here.
"If the emperor refuses to relocate people to farmland, it will only be done badly when implemented. However, if good people can be relocated indiscriminately, they will eventually damage the country's strength."
The Qin army led their guards and galloped back. They looked around and saw that it was indeed a flat plain, a poor place for livestock grazing.
Qin Jun nodded. Qin Jun was startled.
Zhao Tuo was so excited that he hurriedly raised his hands and said: "I'm very grateful to invite you to the general. Zhao Tuo must be disgracing his mission. He must provide an elite prairie cavalry for the general!"
The Qin army must have remembered it wrong. Several dynasties in history have immigrated to the border and implemented military settlements there.
For example, in history, Chen Sheng, who "a bird knows the ambition of a swan", was not a landless farmer who was forced to farm.
So I asked Zhao Tuo to do that, which was actually a kind of training for Zhao Tuo.
When the time comes, the Qin army will add some bounties to the heads of each Huns, or lower the treatment of those who have made meritorious services, which will be enough to make those Yueshi people work up their spirits and beat up the Huns!
This man actually killed your brother.
He asked Li Shiqi and Guo Qing, who were following him, about some important details.
Hearing the general's question, Li Shiqi's face changed slightly and he said loudly: "Lajia Gu was trapped and killed by his sister Sugasha."
That is not one of the reasons why I suggested that the emperor give priority to the Northern Expedition.
Zhao Tuo changed the subject.
Qin Jun thought in his mind.
"Sugatha?"
Then start from the shallower to the deeper, and quickly do something with a lower level of difficulty.
The Marquis of Guishuang was overjoyed and shouted excitedly in Yuezhi language: "Thank you, General, for sparing your life!
"However, if the stubborn people who migrated to the Eight Kingdoms and the landless peasants with no land or houses later moved to the border, this would not only weaken the resistance in the Eight Kingdoms and resolve the contradictions of land annexation, but would also leave the frontier empty.
Fight against the barbarians."
But Qin Jun was satisfied. He was worried that Zhao Tuo was still young and lacked more practical experience. Some of his ideas could only be kept in theory.
In the Ming Dynasty, "people who moved to the seven directions were actually moved", and the Seven Guards of Ningxia were established, mainly for farming.
It was not Chen Ping's Northern Expedition, which only targeted the Yuezhi.
Later generations of the Qin army only occasionally heard of Zhuge Liang's example of surrendering himself to death.
"Mr. Li, he said in the letter that Lajiagu snatched the stirrups and low-bridge saddles from under your Ouqin cavalry, and also wanted to replace them with wooden strips and leather in the tribe to build retreat equipment on a small scale. Yes.
I succeeded in this matter, how did I die?"
The importance of this place has not passed the test of history.
The Qin army looked into the distance and saw camps all over the place. There were no herds of cattle and horses grazing in the pastures in the distance. There was no unique scene in the long sky over the grassland.
"Well, we must open canals to divert water. We can't grow rice outside and use it as a granary in Seri."
There are some lower-class people who are happy with their lives, and they are very worried about the harsh conditions offered by the government, granting land and houses there, and exempting them from taxes for a certain period of time. I doubt that anyone will be willing to open up wasteland and farm there.
Qin Jun smiled faintly, turned to look at Zhao Tuo in front of him, and said: "Chen Sheng, he contributed the strategy. Let him handle that matter next."
"Um."
Li Shiqi's letter only said that Lajia Gu was dead, which led to the bankruptcy of the matter. However, due to space reasons, the letter did not say much about how this person died.
Now that I am in a low position, I have too few things to consider, so I have to do everything myself.
Zhao Tuo was startled, but then he realized that the general had accepted my suggestion and asked me to implement it.
Looking up from a distance, at the end of the distant horizon, there is no small river rushing, irrigating the fertile land.
Ou Qin asked.
Li Shiqi translated it at the right time, causing the laughter of the Marquis of Guishuang to stop abruptly.
But it will definitely be used to fight the Huns in the north, and we will definitely be soft-hearted.
When I was in Helan, I didn't bother to investigate the situation in the distance, and I found that the fertility of that land was not beyond imagination.
Another reason is that Ouqin wants to cultivate talents.
At this time, the surrendered Yuezhi people had not yet been settled in batches by Chen Ping, and the main force of Chen Ping who followed the Qin army had also finished setting up camp.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qin Jun mounted his horse, stepped on the ground full of green grass, bent down and reached out, and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground.
The plain located far away from Helan Mountain is not only a good pasture, but also a poor rice planting area.
I chose Zhao Tuo's strategy, except for the reasons mentioned by the other party, there is no other important reason.m
I looked intense, and my thoughts turned away from the farming affairs and returned to the Yuezhi people.
As far as I know, the land annexation in the Eight Kingdoms Homeland is quite minor. There are not many low-level common people who have no houses or houses at all. They can only be reduced to farm laborers for wealthy families, relying on farming for people to make a living.
Apart from that reason, from the perspective of a general, Ou Qin believed that by building a small granary here, the Qin State could have a solid front line whether it was retreating to the west or making an expedition to the north.
It is very important strategically.
That’s reuse!
Before throwing Guishuang Xihou to Zhao Tuo, the Qin army continued to retreat with Guo Qing, Ou Qinli and others.
"It's just your tribe." Li Shiqi walked over and said loudly.
"Before taking all the land in Henan, you will write to the emperor and send Qin's skilled craftsmen to dig canals to divert water and divide farmland."
Without Chen Ping's main force to control the formation, it would be very difficult to recruit Yuezhi cavalry, which was suitable for a novice in government affairs like Zhao Tuo to adapt.
Ou Qin nodded heavily, with no light shining in his eyes.
The Qin army thought about it, and then led the people to check some places before leading the army back to the garrison.
He begged with a grimace: "Please, general, please spare our lives. You people of Kushan are willing to serve as oxen, horses and eagles for me. You definitely don't have the heart to betray me."
An exotic man appeared in his mind.
The Huns who have not yet occupied the north of the Yellow River, Yinshan is very worried!
Those Yuezhi cavalry who were sent to deal with their fellow tribesmen in Hexi before they were subdued would definitely do their best.
Only the combination of theory and practice can cultivate real talents.
That is not the way to use the Hu to control the Hu, to use the Yuezhi to defeat the Xiongnu, and to preserve the strength of the Qin people.
Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty once praised "Ningxia has the least number of fields and grains in the sky." He gave the area's commander-in-chief He Fu an imperial edict to express his criticism, which shows that the land was quite suitable for farming.
