As we all know, Bei Mo and Shi Wu are both nomadic ethnic groups. The difference between the two is that Shi Wu has a higher and flatter terrain, with high cold and drought, and little rain all year round; the altitude of Bei Mo is very different from other places, with many deserts. There is a lot of Gobi desert and abundant grassland.
Due to natural reasons, in order to adapt to the unfriendly climate conditions, the people living in these two lands lived by the water, roamed and grazed. In the spring, they squatted on this pasture and ate almost as much as they could before moving to the next one. There was little food all year round. Have a fixed residence.
Even so, life is still very stressful.
When the population of the entire ethnic group is small, this way of life is still acceptable. Once the population slowly increases to a certain critical point, the survival pressure will suddenly increase, which will lead to increased environmental damage, scarcity of supplies, food shortages, and then bad consequences. cycle.
Until simple herding and hunting could no longer sustain their livelihood.
Looting places with richer resources has become one of the ways to alleviate this contradiction. Both Beimo and Shiwu have superior conditions for domesticating war horses. Their average people are skilled in bow and horse, and the cavalry is highly mobile, so they can often disappear in one wave of robberies. Escape quickly.
The unlucky man who was robbed could only eat the ashes after being robbed. He gritted his teeth looking at the smoke and dust raised by others, and there was nothing he could do.
At least this is what Shen Tang thinks.
She had previously seen a set of data in Qishan's notes. The tribes in Beimo and Shiwu were quite large, and they were considered to be quite a threat.
But listen to Chu Yao’s meaning——
Are the Northern Desert still ferocious nomads?
It has completely become an experience package for building reputation and qualifications.
Chu Yao didn't quite understand: "What does Lang Jun mean by 'miserable'?"
Shen Tang was confused: "There are also many horse farms in the Northern Desert, right?"
Chu Yao understood, and he explained with a smile: "There are many horse farms in the Northern Desert, but this is not an advantage."
The corners of Shen Tang's mouth twitched slightly.
this……
Not really an advantage???
Chu Yao said: "Before the thief star descended from the sky, there were few cavalry in various countries in the mainland. Because of the lack of war horses and not much pasture, foreign tribes such as Shiwu Beimo used this in exchange for a large amount of money. Coupled with trade and interest exchange, they have been able to operate for a long time. They are a force that cannot be underestimated. To guard against them, large numbers of troops are stationed across the border... Even so, there is rarely peace."
However, these were all reversed after the thief star descended from the sky.
Shen Tang asked curiously: "Reversed? Could it be said that Wen Xin and Wu Dan are so smart that they can not only distinguish between men and women, but also distinguish between own race and foreign race? So what should we do if the two races are mixed???"
Follow your father or your mother?
Follow your own race or follow the alien race?
Or is it a fight between parents' genes, and whoever has the upper hand will follow?
Shen Tang was distracted for a moment, his thoughts diverging far away.
Chu Yao said: "How is this possible? People from other races like the Shiwu in the Northern Desert naturally have the possibility of awakening their literary heart and courage, and they are no different from us. There are two reasons why it is said that the thief star will turn around when it falls from the sky. The first is the thief star. Where it landed."
Shen Tang: "..."
She was speechless and choked for a moment.
Needless to say, Chu Yao knew what was going on.
The Thief Star meteorite landed in the center of the continent, and the fragments were naturally divided up by the central vassal states and made into various national seals.
Those princes are eager to eat alone, and they don't have enough for themselves, so how can they bring foreigners to play? As a result, those foreigners who are on the fringes of the mainland are in bad luck.
Shen Tang clicked his tongue and sighed: "That's really unlucky. You can't even keep up with eating shit. What's the other reason?"
Chu Yao was silent and reminded: "Wu Lang?"
Shen Tang: "Huh?"
Chu Yao said: "Civilization."
According to his own words, the Shiwu and other foreign races in the Northern Desert cannot keep up with the hot shit by eating [shi], so what are the princes who got the fragments of the meteor? Are they happy enough to eat the hot shit???
Shen Tang: "Cough cough cough...it's not important, it's not important!"
Chu Yao skipped this section and then said the second reason, which was related to the literary heart and martial courage. Among the words and spirits of the military formation, the literary heart, words and spirit can bless the military formation and change the military shape. It has endless wonderful effects and changes. Infinite, Wu Dan Yan Ling is relatively monotonous, most of them serve the army, and can be transformed into soldiers, armor, and horses!
That is to say——
Chu Yao said with a subtle expression: "There is no shortage of horses."
There are no restrictions on war horses, and they have more people. Even if horse fighting is not as powerful as the cavalry of nomadic tribes such as Bei Mo Shiwu, but with the blessing of civil and military words and spirits, ideally they can achieve the level of cavalry per capita. Various vassal states There is also a very subtle consensus.
The civil war between us is a civil war, and foreigners should not even think of intervening.
This leads to the fact that every time the foreign tribes on the eight sides of the border send troops to invade, the bordering vassal states will tacitly agree to a ceasefire. Those who send troops will send troops, and those who send food will send food. If they are really poor and can't afford it, they will send a few words of remote support. The war can be fought at any time, but absolutely Don't let foreigners take advantage.
There is a very interesting example in history.
More than a hundred years ago, there were two small vassal states in the northwest of the mainland, Country A and Country B. The two countries were fighting each other and became cross-eyed. Seeing that Country B had the upper hand, it was about to concentrate its forces to destroy the country. Who knew what life would be like at this time? Several large tribes in the Northern Desert banded together to steal Country A's hometown and take their national seal.
Country A and Country B immediately stopped fighting, and Country B sent tens of thousands of elites to support them, regained all the lost territory, and raised the ashes of tens of thousands of people. After the external chaos was resolved, the two countries continued to fight. Because they had a chance to breathe. , a certain country A made an extreme comeback.
There are many similar examples.
Because of this, the foreign races have always been restricted to their own territories and have not posed much of a threat for more than two hundred years. Instead, they have become an experience package for neighboring vassal states to build their reputation and qualifications.
After listening to Chu Yao's story, Shen Tang was about to laugh when she suddenly thought of something and her face darkened. She said: "If this is the case...then what Zheng Qiao did is not..."
No wonder Qi Bushan hates Zheng Qiao so much - in order to conquer the Xin State, he cooperated with Shiwu, allowing Shiwu to secretly send troops to harass the mountain border, further weakening the forces that the Xin State could mobilize, and taking advantage of the situation to conquer the Xin State, which was in turmoil due to internal and external troubles.
Chu Yao naturally knew about this.
He is in Xiaocheng, but the news is not blocked.
Chu Yao: "He was smart but was deceived by his cleverness. He thought that there was a mountain border blocking Shiwu, so Shiwu would not be a threat. He planned to use it and then fall out, swallowing wolves and driving away tigers. But he is not the only smart person in the world. Shiwu is not stupid. Furthermore, Zheng Qiao has lost the hearts and minds of the people. The national border barrier on the other side of the mountain range... I don’t know how long it can stop Shiwu..."
Little Fatty, who had been keeping quiet, asked: "But teacher, Shi Wu and Bei Mo, aren't they very weak?"
He was born and raised in Sibao County, and due to the underdeveloped information in this era, the world he knew was very small. Even the existence of foreign races such as Shiwu and Beimo were taught to him by his teacher. In his understanding, My teacher is the best.
Chu Yao pinched Tu Rong's cheek in a funny and helpless way: "Ah Rong, who told you that they are weak? They should be beaten!"
