Chapter 505. Nomadic Economy

Hegemony is to gradually stabilize its rule through wars one by one. In other words, it will be honest with all those who are dissatisfied! Call me protection fees obediently! The battle of Jinzhou City has also dealt with a big thorn, and Wang Hou's life in Liaodong has become more comfortable.

On the grassland, I just crossed the Daxingan Mountains and lived a good life from the Inner Mongolia Plain to the Liaodong Plain, the Xianbei tribes in the eastern region drove the sheep and returned in shame. Oh my god! They are enough for robbers. Unexpectedly, the one in Liaodong is even more cruel! They are completely unreasonable!

We nomad Hu people have defeated the war. Shouldn’t your Han court send prefect civil servants to recruit and recruit? Anyway, you Han people have so much food! You can’t kill us Xianbei people if you don’t want to recruit and don’t say anything about it. Not only did you send our strong cavalry to dig coal, but you also sent cavalry to sweep the grassland and rob us poor women.

Too unreasonable! I won’t play with you!

However, the Xianbei people could return to the south of the Mohe with a lot of grievances, but the Wuhuan people could not. After all, the Liaodong Plain was their hometown, and there was no grassland to grazing when they went to the south of the Mohe with no grass. Faced with the continuous sweeping of the Han cavalry in western Liaoning, the Wuhuan people who were already angry and called their seven uncles and eight uncles to find the place were also reduced to the minimum standards.

We don’t need any rewards. As long as we are not allowed to go to Ma'anshan to mine and continue to release our sheep on the grassland, we will surrender!

Wang Hou was not unreasonable. As these "poor" herders in Wuhuan were waving tears, he finally reluctantly took up his post as an affiliated official, protected the Wuhuan Captain, and took the mess left by Tadun into his own hands.

No wonder the Murong tribe became the first tribe of the Xianbei people to enter the Central Plains. In May, they drove their herds to Liucheng, Jinzhou. There were many Wuhuan people who divided the pastures to grazed according to Wang Hou's hearing, with nearly 20,000 households and 60,000 people. In history, these Wuhuan tribes were almost all annexed by the Murong Xianbei, and the cavalry alone could provide more than 10,000.

In the warm sunshine, flocks of Aries sprinkled on the grass with children gnawing on the newly grown tender grass.

In fact, not only the farming people are afraid of war and delaying the farming time, but nomadic people are also afraid of delaying the farming time. After all, forage is also a plant, and the time for growth within a year is limited. Sheep eat grass and milk, and the premise is that they have to eat enough grass. During normal feeding, a sheep must eat grass for at least ten hours a day. After returning to the sheep pen, they have to ruminate and chew for about ten hours. They are said to be foodies, and these herbivores are the foodies that are perfect foodies.

This is also why the Xianbei people fled when they were defeated and the Wuhuan people surrendered so quickly? Zhang Yan! The thief led cavalry on the Liaodong Plain every day, and later generations of Korqin Grassland went back and forth. Even if they couldn't catch anyone, they were wandering around the road like a second tumor. Once he walked around, the tribe could not grazed. He had to take sheep around with him every day, setting up a stall to hide like a city management. The sheep could not eat enough grass, let alone growing meat, and they could not squeeze out milk. Dairy products were the main thing of the nomadic tribe. Without dry milk, tofu, milk skin, they also faced no food.

If it were in the past, he would have to go into the pass and rob the Han people after losing food! But last year, General Cao had just destroyed Boss Tadun. This year, Wang Zunliou grabbed Boss Murong and slapped him in the face, which made his teeth fall off and he even robbed the Han people. The Han people came to rob them! He had to pretend to be a grandson!

Seeing this, another team of Han cavalry came over lightly. The Wuhuan people who were grazing sheep on the edge were so scared that they were trembling. The man riding a horse and grazing quickly jumped off the horse, nodded and bowed with a smile, and on the other side, the felt bag that was more primitive than the yurt, the old lady Wuhuan hugged her trembling grandson, protecting him with her arms, while also whispering how the Han people had copper foreheads, iron arms, green faces and fangs, and could stretch out a big axe from the chrysanthemums, and chopped off the dog heads of the kind nomads, and taught her that she must be far away in the future.

Seeing the leader's leading official turn over and get off the horse, heading straight for his flock, the tribal man with small braids was really painful. These more than 200 iron-armored cavalry, if they can eat at least fifty sheep!

The war that lasted from last year to this year, coupled with the tributes provided to the Xianbei people and the animals that were just supplied to Wang Tiangao, the Wuhuan people's herds have already tightened to the red line.

Without fifty sheep, his family is destined to be hungry!

But don't give it? Do you dare? The strong people on the grassland are respected, and if they offend the Han people, they will be thrown into the magma of hell and dig black stones. Life is worse than death!

The bald braid is so beautiful and tangled, but he doesn't know that Wang Tiangao himself is in front of him, and Wang Tiangao himself is also tangled, turning over and getting off the horse, grabbing a sheep casually, grabbing the sheep's belly in his hand, and the one who catches it was the thick hair of one hand.

Wang Hou has been very distressed these days, and he is also very nervous. In the past, he was worried about how to take out money and grain from the pockets of aristocratic families and stuff it into his purse. Now, he is worried about how to take out money from his pocket and stuff it reasonably into the hands of these poor nomads.

How were the Hu cavalry in the counties and states so harmonious in the early Han Dynasty? The Han Dynasty court took out rice and grain every year, hired captured Huns as mercenaries, and went to the grassland to kill their fellow tribes. Every year, grain and cloth were provided for them, so the Huns counties and states were very close to the Han army. Even if they followed a fool general like Li Guangli, six or seven hundred people died in battle, they would not retreat.

But why did the Hu cavalry of the counties and states fall again later? The Northern Huns were beaten away and left Europe, promoting a wave of yellow perils, and the Southern Huns surrendered! The war between the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty and the War against the Huns was not as intense as the Han Dynasty war needs were not so strong, so naturally there was not much support for these mercenaries, and there was no money and grain to take. What counties and states established after the border were established, and the counties and states were naturally disinterested in the Han Dynasty, the financial lord.

And they can only be mercenaries to make a living. Since they can't be mercenaries of the Han Dynasty, they can be mercenaries of the grassland ambitious family! They have changed from the border barrier of the Han Dynasty to the vanguard of the frontier robbers.

Isn’t this the case for Tadun and his father Qiu Juli?

The example of controlling grasslands in later generations was forced to control the Ming Dynasty. They fought against the rising Tumote and did not get any advantage. Finally, they opened the border to do business. Then the entire Eastern Mongolia fell together, causing the rising Qing Dynasty to be slapped and swollen!

As for our Tartars, the two leaders of politics, economy, military, and religion were both strong, and they even imposed the grasslands. Especially in terms of economy, the red-topped merchants of the Han people ran around the grasslands, and Mongolian princes followed suit to do business. In the entire Qing Dynasty, except for the poor and bad mountains and rivers of West Mongolia Junggar who had made trouble, no Mongolia had ever slaughtered.

Wang Hou also wanted to engage in economic friendship, but the problem is that the Wuhuan Xianbei now has not found anything to trade except for being mercenaries with brute force! They are like the Sanhe God with a dim future in Wang Hou’s era!
