Chapter 18 Concept (Additional update for leader Kui Yuan)
"See you, Your Majesty!" The soldiers in Nuozhen Water Branch prostrated themselves and shouted.
Shao Shude looked calm and walked in the snow.
There was a new snowfall, and the bloodstains were buried underneath. The traces of the battle were no longer visible. But looking at the thousands of prisoners kneeling on the ground in the distance, you can still deduce the extent of the results of this battle. More than two thousand people were beheaded.
level, and captured more than 5,000 Yinshan Tatars below Yue Absi and 170,000 miscellaneous animals.
After the news came out, the Tatars active in the Yinshan area collapsed. More than 3,000 people surrendered, and the rest dispersed. They were killed and wounded in the pursuit. Considering the bad weather, it is difficult to say how many people can escape.
, probably 10% or 20% of the time.
In fact, what if you escape back? The three armies of Jindao, Heijin and Leopard Cavalry have sent more than 10,000 cavalry, plus 4,000 cavalry from the Yinshan Fan tribe. They have taken the captives and guides straight to the Yinshan Tatar tent, intending to capture those who stayed behind in their hometowns.
Catch them all in one go.
The war on the grassland is like this. The marching speed is fast, the fighting rhythm is fast, the victory or defeat is determined, either you die or I die, the loser loses everything and becomes a slave. Historically, Zha Layi'er lived in the Onan River Basin.
After rising, they became so powerful that they enslaved all the Mongolian tribes and made the Mongols their slaves. However, Haidu Khan led his troops and defeated the Zhala Yier people in a battle. Zhala Yier immediately became the slaves of the Mongols, and his status was instantaneous.
Upside down, it's that simple.
Leaders from the five tribes of Yinshan also came over with their troops. They were shocked to see the Tatars kneeling on the ground.
"Brother Shu Chue!" Shao Shude shouted.
Shannan inspection commander Ge Shuque trotted forward. Because the snow was slippery, he almost fell down, but no one laughed at him. What right do you have to be indifferent in front of the Supreme Khan?
"The end will be here." Ge Shuque, who is 44 years old this year, responded loudly.
"Would you like to move somewhere?" Shao Shude asked.
The Geshu tribe currently grazes in the areas to the west and south of Jiuyuan (prefecture), Yongfeng, and Da'an counties in Fengzhou, and in the northern area of Helan Mountain. The upper strata of the tribe are Turkic, and the middle and lower strata are mostly composed of Dangxiang and other miscellaneous barbarians. These are on the grasslands.
In fact, it's nothing. You can't figure out the bloodline at all.
The strength of this unit is not very good. It has only grown to more than 30,000 people. Under the situation of nationwide recruitment, it can only recruit 10,000 people. Now most of them have been sent out and are on their way back.
"Many people surrendered on the other side of the Yue Spring. I will give you three thousand. For those who surrendered here, I will also give you three thousand and merge them into your tribe. From now on, they can graze in Nuozhen Water. How about that?" Shao Shude asked.
This was not a discussion, but an order. Geshu knew very well, so he immediately replied: "I will obey the order of the Supreme Khan."
Feng, the land of Henan that wins the two states, has the Yellow River and its tributaries, which are suitable for grazing and farming. Now it seems that the Great Khan does not want them to stay there to graze anymore, and has moved to the Nuozhen River area.
As for the fact that most of the newly arrived six thousand people are strong and strong, it is not a big problem. The five tribes of Yinshan are often drawn into battles, and the personnel losses are not small. It is just a good time to supplement them and increase their strength.
These Tatars also speak Turkic language, which is easy to digest. Geshu really has nothing to dissatisfy.
Among the five tribes of Yinshan, there are also two tribes that speak Turkic languages, Qibi and Hunbu. But to be honest, these "fake Uighurs" from Tiele are just like the real Uighurs. They are very hostile to Turks and can't urinate.
into a pot.
Because many members of the Qibi tribe had served as officials of the Tang Dynasty, and Qibi Zhang had also served as the governor of the Zhenwu Army, the Qibi tribe was relatively strong. It currently has 60,000 to 70,000 people, and it has obviously annexed many party items, including Tuyuhun tribesmen.
.Economically speaking, half-grazing and half-cultivating, it is no longer pure nomadicism.
The strength of the Hunbu is relatively weak. It was less than 20,000 when it was first established. Now it has absorbed a lot of Uighurs. The Tuyuhun is only worth 30,000, and it is still the weakest branch.
The Cangcai Department and the Zhuang Lang Department are all Dangxiang people. Thanks to the "grand cause" of the Dangxiang people moving all the way east and north, there are so many Dangxiang herdsmen in the Yinshan area. What are the Yinshan Dangxiang, Heishan Dangxiang, Shanhou Dangxiang, and Hexiang Dangxiang?
, Hexi Dangxiang, etc., are almost the largest ethnic group in the vicinity.
Because of this, within ten years, the Mulashan Wang family and the Yuanquan Zhuanglang family have grown rapidly in strength, and they have continuously annexed small tribes. One has a population of 90,000, and the other has a population of 80,000. They are second to none in terms of strength among the five tribes, and half of them are
Grazing and half farming.
Shao Shude wanted to expand north of Yinshan Mountain, and it was obvious that he wanted to move some tribes out of the south of the mountain. The Geshu tribe and the Qibi tribe were the two tribes he planned to move.
Geshu was easy to arrange and let them go. Nuozhen Shui was not a bad place and they did not resist it.
But what about Qibibu? It’s a bit difficult.
The promotion of the three-crop rotation system will inevitably affect nomadic tribes. No one is a real fool. If they see a higher-yield agricultural model, they will not learn it and continue to play low-yield nomadism. In other words, it is Shao Shude who allows these tribes to feed themselves.
It is also troublesome to relocate a larger population that cannot be fed under the traditional model.
"Who else wants to move?" Shao Shude looked at the leaders with a smile, but no one agreed, but a few bitter chiefs from Shaqi tried to ask if they could change the place.
Shao Shude laughed. Some people want to leave and some don't. It's normal.
After some words of comfort, Shao Shude said: "I want to restore Liangcheng County in the Later Wei Dynasty and establish Shenzhou to govern the four counties of Shanwu, Shenhe, Woyang, and Xuanhong, and govern Liangcheng."
This actually includes Liangcheng in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Shanwu has two counties. The former governs Shenhe and Xuanhong counties. Liangcheng is located in the north of Daihai. It is a separately built state city in Shenhe County. The latter governs
There are two counties, Woyang and Shanwu. Shanwu County is in the area of present-day Youyu County. The pasture of Woyang Palace is also within the territory of Shenzhou.
During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the number of registered households in these two counties was very few, less than 10,000 people in total, but there were many slaves of powerful people and herdsmen from various tribes. After all, they were the main transportation routes between the two capitals in the early years of the Northern Wei Dynasty. There probably will not be any in this life.
What a change.
"To the east of Shenzhou, at the old site of Fuming and Rouxuan towns in the Later Wei Dynasty, a state was also established, called Rouzhou, which led to Rouxuan County (today's Jining). During the Later Han Dynasty, the Northern Huns moved westward, and Xianbei moved here
, more than 100,000 Xiongnu tribes returned. Tanshihuai set up tents nearby to lay the foundation of Xianbei. This land is very good."
As soon as Shao Shude said these words, everyone thought secretly.
There are tens of thousands of people like Woyang Palace in Shenzhou, and most of them still need to resettle thousands of households, and they will not be given to others.
What about Rouzhou? The grassland to the north of Rouzhou is the pasture of the Yinshan Tatars. If they are defeated and annexed this time, then combined with the question I just asked if anyone is willing to move, a tribe will definitely be resettled here.
This pasture is actually pretty good!
There are mountains and valleys, lush vegetation, and many rivers, which can be used for small-scale farming. The range of pastures is even larger, with the potential to support a large tribe.
The only risk is probably to annoy Li Keyong. After all, the Yinshan Tatars have an unclear relationship with their Shatuo Zhuxie clan. Maybe they will send troops out of anger? If the war continues, don't even think about it.
You can farm and herd with peace of mind.
But it’s still worth a try!
For a while, everyone had their own thoughts, but they did not dare to speak rashly.
Shao Shude secretly thought. Today is just a breeze, and there is still a series of work to be completed later. The land in Rouzhou belongs to the Qibi tribe. There are many children of the Qibi clan in the left wing of the Feilong Army. He can allow the Qibi tribe to
Bizhang transferred hundreds of cadres who were experienced in battles to leave the army, organized his own tribe to graze in Rouzhou, and occupied the Tatar pastures in Yinshan Mountain.
If anyone is dissatisfied or dares to chirp, ask him if he is afraid of the threat of "half a million riders" overwhelming the mountain.
"How about I set up in Rouzhou?" Shao Shude suddenly asked.
"Great Khan, Holy Ming!" What else did everyone have to say? They could only flatter him.
…
On paper, on the grasslands north of Johor, a large group of knights suddenly attacked and killed them.
The guide who was held up by the sharp knife burst into tears and couldn't bear to look at it.
The Qingqi from the Yinshan tribe were the first to arrive. They were holding iron bones, daggers, and spears and kept waving them. The Yinshan Tatars who were fleeing had no intention of fighting, but they still separated some people to fight.
Wang Chong, the commander of the Leopard Cavalry Capital, ordered everyone to mount their horses. The two thousand armored cavalry circled around for a while. After accelerating, they rushed straight into the formation of more than three thousand Tatar light cavalry from the flanks and cut them into two pieces at once.
At the same time, Ding Wei, the deputy envoy of the Black Army, led two thousand horsemen around the old and weak Tatar women and children who were fleeing in a cart and cart. Two thousand people dismounted and wore armor, and walked with long steps to cover up and kill them.
The thieves were in a panic, but with the courage to defend their tribe, they still fought hard.
Under the protection of 500 cavalry led by Fu Yanchao, Shao Siwu cautiously rushed forward.
Shao Siwu was very convinced that his father loved and cared for his children, but he would never dote on them. In today's world, overdoting on his children would be tantamount to letting his children die. Born in this family, he had no right to be weak, otherwise he would be looked down upon, what kind of honor would it be?
None, it's no different than just eating and waiting to die.
"All my martial arts skills since elementary school have been taught by masters. I have practiced them all the time and have never neglected them. I will not be worse than anyone else." Shao Siwu took out his well-strung riding bow and aimed at one person.
The man's face was ferocious, and his head and face were covered in blood. He didn't know who he belonged to. He had already discovered Shao Siwu, who was being tightly protected. He roared angrily, called over a dozen of his companions, and rushed over without hesitation.
The weather was extremely cold, but Shao Siwu's riding bow was still warm. He hesitated a little. He was still young and his bow power was not very strong. What if he couldn't shoot the thief?
Thinking of this section, he adjusted his target slightly, held his breath and concentrated, and shot an arrow.
"Xilulu!" The horse neighed in pain, and the Tatar knight fell directly off the horse and could not get up for a long time.
The sergeants cheered loudly and fired arrows one after another, and the thieves who rushed towards them were gradually felled. These former soldiers of the Shao family had incredible skills. They killed people as if they were just strolling around. Shao Siwu felt a little ashamed when he saw them.
Fu Yanchao shouted loudly, rushed forward, stabbed the oncoming Tatar cavalry to death, then bent down and grabbed the enemy cavalry who had just fallen off the horse, and ran back to the formation.
"He actually fell to death!" Fu Yanchao said in surprise, and then he beamed with joy and said with a smile: "Congratulations, prince, for killing a thief!"
"The prince is so powerful that he has been beheaded at the first level!" the soldiers shouted one after another.
When the soldiers who were fighting heard this, their morale was greatly boosted and their movements became more powerful.
If they were caught while running, this group of Tatars was doomed!
