When Yang Lin walked into the castle, the soldiers of the Morvo had already given up on resisting. Facing the influx of the Land combat soldiers, the guards of the Morvo in the city turned pale, despairingly threw down the weapons in their hands and knelt on the ground while shivering. Now, futile resistance was meaningless.
The Morvo that was the leader of the Morvo, Li Jian's courtyard door was shut tight. Morvo who was on top of the city wall, along with a few other people that looked like officials of the Morvo, knelt outside the door. My Lord Chief's butler, Lord Chief has come to discuss the matter of surrender. "
"Surrender?" Yang Lin looked at the tightly shut door, and realised, this was Lord Chief Li Jian negotiating terms with him! The anger in his heart that had been suppressed was ignited once again. He shouted angrily, "What surrender? You can only unconditionally surrender! If you don't accept it, then pick up your swords! "
When Yang Xing saw that Yang Lin was infuriated, he ran to the front of the door with a few steps of "Teng, Teng, Teng". "Boom …" A loud sound came out, but the thick door did not budge an inch, Yang Xing was furious and shouted: "Hand over the axe, chop it for me!"
Li Jian's door was almost an inch thick, how could Yang Xing kick it open? In front of so many people who had lost face, Yang Xing's anger started to rise, he waved his hand fiercely, and a few Land combat soldiers with axes in their hands prepared to cut down Li Jian's door.
"Wait!" "What are you doing, cutting down doors?" Such a good wooden door, it would be a waste to break it. The door is ours now, and I'll have to find another wood to repair it if it breaks. Is it easy to grow a tree? It is not green to cut it down for a door. Saving a wood to prevent desertification, it seems to them to carry out environmental education, to make a contribution to the country's environmental protection ah.
"What are your brains? Don't you guys know how to climb over these walls? " Yang Lin glared fiercely at Yang Xing, and said angrily: "All of you listen carefully, the things here are all ours. If anyone is damaged, be careful of my spanking you!"
"Hahaha …" The Land combat soldiers s all laughed and ran towards the wall. The walls of Li Jian's courtyard were much shorter than the walls of the city. One soldier could climb up on top of another soldier's shoulder, and in a short while, the dirt would be all over the courtyard.
When Li Ke saw Yang Lin blocking the soldiers from killing the door, he thought Lord General was trying to negotiate conditions with him. Who knew that it was to order the soldiers to jump over the wall and enter, but angrily crawled up from the ground and glared at Yang Lin, "Lord General, master of the King, you must follow the path of a King. Aren't you afraid of the world's cold hearts by doing this?"
Yang Lin turned his head and looked at the butler in shock. Who would have thought that in such a remote place, there would be someone who would give him a lecture on the path of kings? He smiled and said solemnly, "To eliminate all enemies that dare to resist, this is my road to becoming a King!"
The yard gate was opened, and the Morvo leader Li Jian and his hundred over servants who were hiding inside were also captured. Looking at Li Jian who was standing in front of him, he looked to be about fifty years old, with a fat body, a generous face, and a simple and honest face.
"Morvo leader Li Jian greets Lord General." However, one could not judge a book by its cover. It was precisely this kind of honest looking fellow who rejected Li Chun's advice to surrender. Now that he had failed, he didn't look depressed at all. On the contrary, he said calmly, "Lord General, according to your policy in Triple Korea, I should be considered to have surrendered in battle. You should be saving 4,000 mu of land for me in Youzhou."
No wonder he was so confident, he knew his own policy towards the clan leaders of Triple Korea. I hope the other leaders of the tribes know about this as well. This way, they would be able to smoothly settle the various tribes. "Yes, this can be considered as your surrender in battle.
Li Jian's attitude reminded Yang Lin. He immediately picked out a group of messengers from the Morvo soldiers, and gave orders to all the tribes belonging to the Nordovo, Uke people, oriental person people, oriental person people, Vick people, and Moo people to submit, and reiterated his policy towards the tribe leader.
"The leader of the tribe who takes the initiative to surrender to the Han army is permitted to keep eight thousand mu of land. Those who surrender in battle are allowed to keep only four thousand mu of land, and those who surrender after losing are allowed to keep only two thousand mu of land. Anyone who refuses to surrender will be eliminated on the spot. Anyone who defected to the law and rebelled, their entire family would be exterminated. All the clan leaders who had pledged their allegiance would become Surveillance History. And we will take 10% of the tribe's population to create an army and join the Han army to fight against the Gaoguanli. The meritorious service of the tribe will be rewarded greatly. "
As soon as Yang Lin issued his order to surrender, the cavalry unit sent back a message to the other tribes. Their actions were extremely smooth. The other four tribes of the Southern Morvo did not have any decent walls, and could not even withstand a single blow from the powerful Han Army. Even the Imperial City of the Southern Morvo Alliance's Great Leader Li Fu was defeated by the Han Army in just half a day.
According to Yang Lin's orders, every tribe should begin to recruit young men. Yang Lin did not expect that after Generals announced that they would not only be paid to join the Han army, but also receive rewards for their services, the young people of Morvo actually signed up enthusiastically. Within three minutes, the more than ten thousand young strong people of Southern Morvo had already gathered.
Afterwards, Yang Lin found out that those Morvo people were actually the slaves of the tribe leaders. They fought for the leaders with their lives, and it was already good enough for them to be able to eat a full bowl of food. If they died in battle, the leaders would bury them like dead dogs.
In order to ensure the safety of the corydalis radix, Yang Lin left Sun Zhong and Sun Xia's cavalry brigade behind, with Sun Zhong as the and Sun Xia as the County. As the County, besides being responsible for stabilizing the Southern Morvo and collecting the rations, he was also responsible for conquering the Nordovo, connecting the Morvo into a whole, and assisting Yang Xing and Chen Hui's North Sea Fleet in protecting the corydalis radix.
After half a month of clear weather, the snowstorm once again descended on the northeast region. The howling wind from the north darkened the sky, and the heavy snow covered the sky. In just a single day, all of the mountains, trees, and houses had been covered by a thick layer of snow, turning the thousands of miles long area into a jade white world.
On a boundless snowy plain, in a desolate valley, there was a long string of black dots slowly moving forward. The north wind blew the snow all over the soldiers' faces, and the flags in the sky flapped in the wind, the thick snow moaning endlessly beneath their feet.
This was an enormous group, over a hundred thousand people. However, the group that was advancing forward with so many people did not cause much noise. Instead, they moved in an orderly manner and moved forward in a very stable manner. So much so that this enormous army seemed to move at a slow pace. In actuality, the speed at which this group advanced far surpassed that of some travelling caravans.
After Yang Lin gave his order to surrender, the first person to indicate their allegiance was oriental person. This tribe that was located in the northeastern part of Gaoguanli was once as powerful as the Gaoguanli, and belonged to the same Xuantu County. However, they could not bear the repeated intrusion of the Gaoguellian, so a large portion of their land and population belonged to the Gaoguanli.
Unlike other tribes, the oriental person had nowhere to retreat to. To her east was the North Sea, and beside her was the Morvo. Other than bowing to the Gaoguellian, they seemed to have no other path to take. As a result, the current oriental person had already become a vassal state of the Gaoguanli, and it looked like it was about to be annexed by the Gaoguanli.
When oriental person received Yang Lin's order to submit, the leaders of the twenty-four tribes of oriental person had almost unanimously pledged their allegiance to him. In the end, everyone would submit to others. They would choose to submit to a super power instead of to a regional power.
As long as the East submitted to the men and became their subordinate tribe, they could become a clan equal to the Gaoguanli and the rest, and the Gaoguanli would no longer dare to bully them. Even if the Gaoguanli dared to bully them, they could still ask the Darky Court to help them deal with the Gaoguanli.
Of course, the premise of all this was that the big man was strong enough!
The reason why they submitted to the big sized man was because they saw the Youzhou Army attacking them. It was also the best opportunity for them to get rid of the Gaoguanli. If the burly officer defeated the Gaoguanli, they would be a loyal tribe. At least for the time being, they wouldn't have the prestige of a powerful country like the Gaoguanli. Even if the Han army were to lose, they would not suffer any losses, and would only continue to be a vassal of the Gaoguanli.
This was also oriental person's opportune time to make use of the burly officer. In the hundreds of years that they had fought against Gaoguellian, they were also bloodthirsty and aggressive, and with a population of five hundred thousand, they would not sincerely submit to Darky Court. Their plan was that since the Darky Court was so big, they would not have the energy to manage a small eastern clan like them. As long as the burly officer defeated the Gaoguellian, they could become a regional power.
"Lord General, I have been worrying a bit these past few days. I have been holding it in in my heart for a long time and have always wanted to ask Lord General for advice. I wonder if you can teach me?" Just as they were marching, Zhang Banxian ran over to Yang Lin's side and patted on the snow on his body and said with a smile.
"Hehe …" Is there anything else that would cause a dignified Zhang Banxian to worry? " Seeing Zhang Banxian's pious look, Yang Lin couldn't help but laugh. To be honest, Zhang Banxian from the lower levels of society was exceptionally shrewd, not one bit inferior to those teachers who were born in Wealthy soldiers.
Zhang Banxian did not have a smile on her face, and said seriously: "Lord General, ever since our great army entered Fu Yu and Le Lang, we have conquered helper, Pitiful Moslems, Triple Korea's people, Saur's people, Saur's people, Morvo's people. But every time we conquer a place, the Lord General would always leave all of their tribe leaders there. Not only do we let them keep their land, we even let them serve as the Surveillance History. "
Just then, a gust of wind blew past. Zhang Banxian wiped the flying snow off her face and continued, "I remember that Lord General had once said that we cannot learn the methods of the previous empires. Not only do we have to subdue them, we must also assimilate them. Although they were no longer the leaders, they still possessed a great amount of charisma. If there is chaos in the imperial government, would the Lord General not be afraid of them or their descendants? "
What you said seems to make a lot of sense, but have you thought about it? Although the Central Plains does not have any tribe leaders or descendants of tribe leaders, why is there still more rebellion? Zhang Jiao had even created a Taiping Road, but Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, Han Sui, Ma Teng and other rebels had no name, so wasn't it also a mess within the imperial government?
