Chapter 128 Raiders (1)
Chapter 128 Strategy (Part 1)
"The King of Shu Hou is the master of the earth. Under the illumination of the noble Shu Hou's divine light, our tribesmen will be far away from disasters and rebirth. If we do not listen to the orders of the King of Shu Hou, the disaster will inevitably repeat itself, and our tribesmen will suffer a catastrophe..."
Jingshan tribe, no, maybe it should be called Shanjing Banner now. In this most powerful tribe among the Eight Banners in the mountains, the former tribe elder Saqu, wearing a long ornate robe, stood on a high platform made of wood and stone, raised his hands above his head, and his expression piously praising the glory of Shu Hou and promoting the power of Shu Hou.
Although Saqu, who has a dark face, is over fifty years old, he is strong and can eat several big bowls of rice. He usually eats and lives with his fellow tribesmen on weekdays. However, since he became the temporary banner owner, the situation has been a little different.
In his words, King Shu Hou gave him noble status, precious food and gorgeous clothes, and on weekdays, he would look like a banner master.
In other words, he, who has been influenced by the Han civilization for a long time, believed that it was an opportunity to reform the tribe. As long as he had the opportunity, he could be the king of the mountain tribe in the future. Anyway, the Han people could not rule here for a long time. If the Jingshan tribe could unify the mountain, he would naturally have the opportunity to go further in the future.
For Saqu, who serves gods and can see ghosts and gods, the concept of time is different from that of ordinary people.
"You lead this flag and destroy the wild tribes as many as your flag males. I will believe you." Wang Hongyi asked that day.
When Saqu thought of this, his eyes burnt toward the tribe below: "The King of Shuhou has given me the name of the mountain well flag. From then on, we are not the wild tribe, but the orthodox bloodline in the mountains protected by the ancestor god! And those wild tribes have defiled the bloodline in the mountains and deserve to be killed! The King of Shuhou is as kind as the blue sky. Because my tribe suffers here, we will give me the supplies of weapons and salt for the tribe!"
"...If you kill two wild families, you can give one house and one field in the plain. If you kill five wild families, you will give one house in the city. If you kill ten wild families, you will get permission from the Pingman General, and you will give your surname..."
Speaking of this, Saqu paused for a moment, and the tribes below were already talking in a low voice.
"May I ask, Lord Great Elder, why do we help foreign tribes massacre our own tribes? When did the mountain warriors become so cowardly that they need outsiders to point fingers?"
After hearing this sound, Saqu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes. Looking in the sound, a big man said accusingly.
Saqu naturally knew this person. Hambat was the son of the former elder of the tribe. He had a small force of his own and had never dealt with him. However, Saqu had always ignored him in order to show tolerance and generosity in front of the tribe members.
Unexpectedly, this guy jumped out again today.
"Hanbat, the King of Shu is a man who is blessed by the ancestor god and a noble messenger of the god. He has the power to dominate the earth. If he is an enemy of him, he is betraying the ancestor god. Could it be that Hanbat, you are going to stand up for a few wild tribes and become a traitor to the Shanjing Banner?" This was said very seriously. When Hanbat, who was already arrogant, suddenly turned pale when he heard this.
"Of course I won't betray the Ancestral God..."
But he really couldn't find a reason to refute Saqu. Saqu was a priest who could explain the will of God, and he also saw the heavenly fire of that day with his own eyes.
In desperation, Hambat had to retreat to the crowd angrily.
"The mountain well is the orthodox bloodline of the mountain tribe and cannot be compared with the wild tribe. These inferior bloodlines will only defile the reputation of the mountain tribe, and the ancestor gods will also be shamed for it. So the tribe warriors! Get ready to set out! Use their blood to calm the anger of the ancestor gods! Use their blood to celebrate the illumination of the ancestor god's divine light!"
"Bless the Ancestor God! Bless the Ancestor God!" The young people below all raised their arms with excitement and praised the name of the Ancestor God loudly!
After a while, Saqufang raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop.
Until he calmed down again, Saqu said: "The King of Shuhou hopes that our tribe can hunt as many wild tribes as our tribe's men. If we can't do it, we will fall into the reputation of the mountain warriors. Do you think, can such a thing happen?!"
"No! No!"
"Besides, hunting wild tribes can not only wash away the shame brought by their inferior bloodline, but also get rewards from the King of Shu Hou. It is a symbol of the bravery of the warriors! Gorgeous clothes, precious utensils, beautiful women, plain houses, many cattle, sheep and livestock, will be rewarded! Tell me loudly, are you willing to fight for these?!"
"Go to fight! Go to fight!"
"Kill the wild clan! Kill the wild clan!"
"Use their blood to wash away the shame!"
In such a passionate atmosphere, Shanjing Banner dispatched 1,500 people, or an elite soldier from Jiala, towards the gathering place of wild tribes less than a hundred miles away from the tribe.
The so-called wild tribe is actually just a reason made up by Saqu. A low bloodline can degrade other tribes to the position of slaves.
In his opinion, the mountain tribe that has not been incorporated into the mountain well is the wild tribe.
If you are not recognized by the gods, you are not a member of your own tribe!
Even if there are the so-called Eight Banners, it is just a trick of the differentiation of the Han people. As long as the Shanjing Banner keeps talking about other parts, it will naturally be the first. After the Han people are weak, it will be the beginning of the King of Mountains!
The mountain tribe was originally a tribe, and there was no unified consciousness at this time. Wars often occurred between tribes. Non-tribal members could be treated extremely cruelly. Therefore, the Shanjing Banner people did not have any resistance to massacre other tribes.
On the contrary, the various rewards that Saqu explained to them had made them excited, and they wanted to hunt down the enemy's heads immediately in exchange for the cattle and sheep houses!
The regionality between different tribes is very strong. When different tribe members have no specific diplomacy, transactions, etc., if they step into another tribe territory, they will be attacked by the other party.
This is the same as the instinct of wild beasts. Of course, women are the exception. Even if women enter other tribal territories, they are highly likely to be plundered by men from other tribes without caution.
On weekdays, there are constant battles between different tribes for prey, territory, women, etc.
Therefore, Saqu knows all the other tribes within a hundred miles of the Shanjing Banner tribe.
In order to get out of the mountains and trade, the tribe warriors all rode horses through horse teams, but the tribe cannot provide enough horses to equip this warrior of Jiala.
Moreover, more than a thousand people riding horses will inevitably alarm the other party. Their own tribe is only sixty or seventy miles away from the other party. This is also calculated by taking the big road. If you walk on a small road and walk on a mountain road, the distance can be shorter.
The people of Shanjing Banner, who carried dry food and water, had several long hunting experiences, so it was not a problem to go on a long road.
So more than a thousand people traveled for less than two days and finally arrived at the area of the faraway mountain.
"The warriors have arrived in the area of the Yuanshanye tribe. Five Niulu warriors will fight according to the plan they had discussed before. Remember to kill all the others except women and children! After the battle is over, they will chop their heads and count the spoils! Have you heard it clearly?" Saqu said in a low voice.
In fact, Saqu has some opinions on the requirement to kill adult men. If it can be incorporated, it will be easier to strengthen its actual strength. However, it doesn't matter. In large areas, only mountain people can survive. Han people cannot enter at all. If they kill them all, the next generation will soon be able to live freely. Most men are cleaning up their hunting tools or doing farm work. Women are playing with their children, preparing food, and washing clothes.
These people had no weapons in their hands, so after Yamai tribe attacked the tribe, they showed a one-sided situation.
There were shouting and killing in the territory, dozens of thick smoke rose from the tribe, flames rushed up, and cries were everywhere. The battle was so smooth that even Saqu was overjoyed.
"Banner, what should they do?" After the battle, some tribe members pointed to the many women who were driven to a place not far away, and asked with some expectation.
In the tradition of the mountain tribe, women captured should become new members of the tribe, and whoever captures them will belong to them. Such many female prisoners are very powerful in the development of the tribe.
Saqu was silent for a while, feeling that it was not the time to turn against each other or deduct it: "The King of Shu Hou provided us with salt and weapons so that we could achieve such victory. Half of the captured women and children were dedicated to the King of Shu Hou."
When others heard this, they felt a little sorry for the lost spoils.
"Select half of these women to be beautiful, young and healthy, and give them to King Shu Hou." Saqu immediately issued an order.
The surviving women were driven back to the location of the Shanjing tribe.
The spoils collected by the Yuanshan tribe were placed on the cattle and horses driven out of the slings, and the fat sheep were driven back to their tribe by the soldiers.
The dead man's heads were cut down and collected. These would be proof of hunting wild tribes, because the buns of the mountain tribes are different from those of the Han tribes, and men and women are also different, which is easy to distinguish.
A big fire, after they left, ignited at the location of the tribe in the far mountain tribe.
It was just cleared out the traces of battle. Because the Yuanshan tribe is located in the open space between the ditches, the original intention was to consider the water source. At this time, it provided conditions for the Jingshan tribe to kill and burn corpses.
Just when the Jingshan tribe won the first victory, a Taoist priest was walking lightly on a mountain hundreds of miles away from here.
