Chapter 1459 Yellow Road Roller
"Old Head of State, as far as we know, the Jin Kingdom of the Jurchens moved to the Qincha grassland a few years ago... If we, the Mongols, also went there, wouldn't we have a fight with the Jurchens?"
Of course, Hebule was unwilling to leave his hometown and move westward. Don’t think that only farmers can move back to the land, and the same is true for nomadic peoples. Although they do not settle in the same place, they are swimming in several fixed areas. They will not travel thousands of miles to live in a completely unknown area unless they have to.
In addition, it is actually difficult for nomadic people to survive and develop self-sufficiently. Because their production methods are single and the population is small, they cannot carry out sufficient social division of labor, and they cannot provide a complete range of handicraft products.
In this case, robbing the gathering places of farming peoples and obtaining the handicraft products and food they want (nomad life has a worse resistance to harsh natural conditions) becomes a way of life.
Therefore, most of the powerful nomadic peoples in history originated near Yan, Jin and Liao, where the farming people in the Central Plains settled, rather than the Qincha grassland with abundant water and grass. It is natural for the Volga River Basin.
Because if they settled in the Chincha grassland or Volga River basin, there would be no problem with herding sheep, but it would be a bit difficult to obtain food and handicrafts from the farming people.
In ancient times, Eastern Europe was very backward. If you want to get some good things, at least get western Poland in later generations. The weak nomadic peoples had no ability to run that far, and even if they went there, they were dealt with by local European feudal knights. The powerful nomadic peoples would first target the wealthy and developed Persia, the Anatolian Plateau and Syria.
However, in most cases, nomadic peoples who can reach Persia, Anatolia and Syria have mostly become settled peoples, and their destructiveness has also decreased significantly.
The Mongols are the exception because they are full of resistance to settlement and do not hesitate to destroy the rich Mesopotamian Basin, which makes them temporarily unable to change from nomadic to settlement.
It is precisely because of this that the Mongolians were able to establish an unprecedented empire...
Today, although the pastures of the Mengwu tribes are not very rich, they often conflict with the Huining Jurchens. However, they are closer to Yanliao and are easy to obtain the benefits of agricultural products and handicraft products, which still makes Hebule reluctant to move to the rich and plump Qincha grassland.
In addition, the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom who moved west a few years ago were also a threat to the Mengwu tribes. Although the Mengwu tribes could fight the Huining Jurchens with the support of the Xi people, they would probably find it difficult to get a chance to get a chance when they met the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, who had more people and stronger combat power.
Oh, by the way, Zhou Guo, with developed industry and commerce, has a great demand for fur, Dongzhu, Chinese medicine and high-quality wood. Therefore, the Huining Jurchens lived a comfortable life, and when they were comfortable, they naturally would not be very cruel.
Therefore, their combat power has been deteriorated very much and cannot defeat the suffering Mengwu tribes.
The life of the Jin Dynasty's Jurchen has always been relatively difficult, and his fighting will has become more tenacious... at least in the eyes of the Mengwu tribes.
Of course, Wu Haogu knew about Hebule's thoughts.
Moreover, he had already prepared a solution for the Monuments. He did not want to expel the Monuments by force, but wanted them to leave peacefully.
Because the use of force means launching a protracted war!
Although the New Zhou has the advantage in military strength, it is still difficult to get the support of the Senate to launch a war for a cold grassland...
In addition, in Wu Haogu's plan, the Mongolian tribes also had to act as a yellow road roller with full horsepower. They squeezed the Jurchens and the Khitans who moved west to the west.
You can't let them live too comfortably in Persia and the Volga, otherwise they will forget the great cause of moving westward!
"Hebule," Wuhao Ancient Road, "The Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom have moved to the Volga River Basin... It is much richer than the Qincha grassland! Going west is the black soil of Kiev Rus, which is a fertile soil that is richer than Liaodong!
So you don’t have to worry about conflicts with the Jin Jurchens in the Qincha grassland.”
Wu Haogu paused, "As for the Khitans, they went to Persia, which was also extremely rich and a good place that could be compared with the Central Plains."
Are there so many good places in the west?
Hebule will be skeptical.
Wu Haogu said again: "You don't have to worry about not being able to trade with the Central Plains after going too far.
You can move along the grassland Silk Road, and build shopping malls while moving west. These shopping malls are funded by me, and after completion, they will be managed by you, Mengwu and Xi people. In the future, there will be a grassland trade route that will lead from the Qincha grassland to Yan land. The silk, porcelain, iron and weapons of the Central Plains will be continuously transferred to the grassland."
This is actually a trap!
These so-called "malls" are actually castles of mounds!
Taking the Bashang Grassland as the starting point, it crosses the entire Mongolian Plateau and the Qincha Grassland, and builds it all the way to the coast of the Caspian Coast. The east-west span is more than 10,000 miles! Moreover, the location of each bastion is the warmest place for nomadic people to settle in winter during the great migration.
According to the investigation of the intelligence room of the Military Command of the Great Zhou Republic, there are about five to six places like this. In other words, the migration of more than 10,000 miles will take five to six years to complete the migration of the whole family and the whole country. It is not a rushing army. If you walk fifty or eighty miles a day, you can't even think about it! Therefore, the Mengwu tribes who moved west had time to slowly grazed and build castles under the command of the Republican Army's capitalist craftsmen.
These castles are nominally managed by the Mongwu people and the Xi people, but in fact they will belong to the descendants of Wu Haogu, Xiao Sesse, Da Aoye, and Zi Aoye.
With the support of the Great Zhou Republic, the Wu clan and the Tianli Sect Doctoral Order, they will become the city lords on the grassland. Through trade and religion, they will become the leader of the grassland!
If possible, these trading cities will also guide grassland herders to turn from nomadic to fixed herding. The nations that fixed herding are at least in terms of destructive power cannot be compared with nomadic peoples.
"But we Mengwu people don't have that much money!" Hebule was still bargaining with Wu Haogu.
"Money is not a problem," Wuhao Ancient Road, "you can collect taxes on caravans passing through.
The Great Zhou Republic and the Daxi Kingdom will exempt caravans from the Qincha Grassland or from the Qincha Grassland, so that you can tax the East and West trade through the Qincha Grassland.
In addition, you can also find gold mines on the vast grasslands, or hunt fur in the forests north of the Chincha grassland.
You Mengwu have a small population, and an income of 200,000 to 300,000 silver coins a year is enough for you to buy weapons from the Central Plains and iron tools."
Actually, you can still grab it! But Wu Haogu didn't say this.
He paused, his tone had become very harsh: "Hebule, if you still don't want to move, then our Great Zhou Republic will ban the Mengwu Kingdom, implement the Qimin household registration on the grassland, set up an official government, and station a large army! And you are forbidden from continuing to invade Huining Mansion!"
Half of these words are bluffing. Because the territory occupied by the Mengwu tribes is not very good and it is impossible to attract the interest of the elders of the Great Zhou Republic.
If Wu Haogu insists on starting a war, of course it can be done, but it will be more difficult.
Moreover, this year is the election year of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Wu Yijiu, who has been re-elected for two terms, is seeking a third term. This makes the "charitable factions" in the Senate very dissatisfied.
Because "General Kamakura Yoshiyu" has now controlled most of the Japanese Honshu and all Kyushu, Shiguo, and Japanese courts are willing to surrender, and will make the emperor's name king and join the republic.
The war to conquer Japan has basically won!
In this case, Wu Yiyong certainly wanted to enter politics as a victorious person and try to run for the head of state.
However, his idea was not supported by Wu Haogu, so it was difficult to achieve.
But Wu Yijiu still has to carefully complete his term of office so as not to make big mistakes and give the righteous people an excuse to oppose it.
Therefore, he would not support the war against Mongolia immediately...
However, Hebule did not know the political operation model of the Great Zhou Republic, and he thought that as long as Wu Haogu gave the order, his "Mongwu Kingdom" (who is a national in the country) would be finished immediately.
"But the migration matter is not decided in the next sentence." Hebule said embarrassedly.
He was not the Great Khan of Mongolia, nor the Great Mongol Kingdom, but an alliance country. As the Khan king, Hebule had limited power, which is also the reason why the Mongolian Kingdom was firmly suppressed by the weak Xi people.
Before the grassland people complete the establishment of Qimin households, they are not very powerful by relying so-called barbaric and simple. What kind of synergy can a bunch of tribes of all sizes form? Moreover, without the establishment of Qimin households, they cannot establish a mechanism that can inspire soldiers to fight to the death.
Death in battle often means a major loss to the tribe or family! Therefore, although the Mongols at this time were not inferior to those of the later Mongols, they were as afraid of hand-to-hand combat as the Khitans in their early years and could not fight hard battles. They could only rely on their erratic mobility to deal with strong enemies.
However, under the bleak bribery and differentiation, there will always be traitors who report the whereabouts of the large tribe to Kedun City. Therefore, once the war begins, the Khanate of Hebule has no place to hide.
Wu Haogu smiled, "Hebule, I know what the tribal alliance is going on. Just go to the conference, and the leaders of the Mengwu tribes will definitely support the migration! Your future is long destined in the Western Qincha grassland."
Hebule took a deep breath, and Wu Haogu's words made him feel a little chilled. He knew that he would pass the tribe alliance meeting before he even opened. Could it be that many leaders in the Mengwu tribes had been bribed by Wu Haogu and Xiao Sesse long ago?
It seems that Dongfang really can't stay anymore, so it's better to move westward!
