Speaking of this issue, Yang Lin thought of a lesson from history. He organized a line of thought and said solemnly: "The reason why the citizens rebelled was simply because of the natural and man-made disasters. We can't do anything about the natural disaster, but we can establish a complete system, and try our best to avoid human disaster, so as to not let the ambitious take advantage of the situation. "
"The reason I reserved a portion of the land for the tribe leader was because we still have to conquer other tribes. If we kill them, it will definitely arouse the fear of the other tribe leaders and cause them to fight back with all their might, making it more difficult for us to conquer them."
Yang Lin had thought of sending them to Guang Yang for house arrest before, but there were too many tribe leaders, so the cost of house arrest was too high. Besides, you are going to put them under house arrest, but they still have brothers and sons who are also powerful. You can't put his entire family under house arrest, can you?
"Even if we leave them in the tribe, the chances of them rebelling are not high. First, we have a powerful garrison, and they don't dare to act rashly. Second, they had only been given a small amount of land. Without an economic foundation, they would not have the strength to rebel. Third, they were constantly drawing away their young and strong, and they no longer had an army to rebel against them. Fourth, they sent a lot of Wasteland soldier, which was mixed with sand, effectively stopping their rebellion. Fifth, they had to encourage intermarriage and restrict intermarriage, so there wouldn't be any difference in the next generation. The sixth is to cultivate a large number of Chinese landlords in these tribes, to expand the influence of the Chinese. Seventh, I will reward a group of meritorious warriors of the tribe, turning them into the new Surveillance History and dispersing the influence of the tribe leader. Eighth, let them speak Chinese, recognize Chinese characters, take Han name, promote their recognition of the big man. If we have these measures and there is still a rebellion, we can quickly suppress it. "
When the Zhang Banxian heard this, he was filled with admiration. I never thought that Lord General would be so thoughtful. If we follow Lord General's method, I'm afraid there will not be any other clans after thirty to fifty years. "
"Reporting..." Lord General. Ten miles ahead, the leader of oriental person Tribe, Yin Dong, was waiting at the mountain entrance with more than three thousand eastern footmen. They said that they wanted to pay their respects to Lord General. " After entering the territory of the oriental person, Yang Lin's army received an unusual welcome from the oriental person.
"Come, let's go greet them." Yang Lin waved towards Zhang Banxian and spurred his horse forward. Along the way, what they met were all the smiling faces of oriental person, and Yang Lin was even a little pleased with himself.
"Greetings Lord General." A tall, muscular man jumped down from his horse and ran towards Yang Lin's horse. He kneeled in the snow and kowtowed three times towards Yang Lin, to the point that his head was covered in snow.
Yang Lin immediately jumped down from his horse and pulled Yin Dong up. Good god, another burly man, almost as tall as Yang Lin. Yang Lin intimately patted Yin Dong's shoulders and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. What a sturdy fellow! Hehe … "What a great general talent!"
"Thank you, Lord General, for your praise." Yin Dong cupped his fists, and cupped his hands towards Yang Lingong, he glanced at Chinese cavalry behind Yang Lin, and could not help but reveal an envious expression: "What a mighty burly officer, this is the most elite rider I have ever seen."
"Haha …" Towards Yin Dong's praise, Yang Lin didn't know whether he should be modest or not, and could only chuckle. He looked behind him and saw more than three thousand young men lining up at the entrance of the mountain. He changed the topic. "Is this the young man you recruited?"
"Reporting to the Lord General, my tribe has three ten thousand people s. This is the three thousand strong young men that I recruited. They have all experienced battle formations and are not afraid of death." Yin Dong proudly raised his head and said: "I have also experienced dozens of battles, and am willing to follow the Lord General in battle."
Yang Lin was shocked. He did not want the leaders of the tribes to follow them in the battle, he just wanted their soldiers. He did not want these leaders to accomplish meritorious service or even learn the skills of the Han army in battle. But facing the passionate Yin Dong, how could he refuse?
"Ah …" Your spears are so long! " Yang Lin immediately noticed oriental person's extraordinary spear and changed the topic. He walked towards oriental person and took the spear from a soldier who was holding onto it, and was nearly shocked, "Oh my god … This spear should be at least three Zhang long. "
"Lord General has good eyesight!" Yin Dong had already caught up, he also took a spear from the hands of the soldier, held it up with one hand, and said with a proud smile: "This spear shaft is 30 meters long, blade is 2 feet long, it is the unique weapon of our oriental person!"
"Such a long spear, is it convenient to go up on stage?" Yang Lin did not say anything and could only smile. This kind of long spear was very suitable to deal with cavalry. In any case, they would perish together. However, when it came to dealing with foot soldiers, if one couldn't stab them, one could only allow themselves to be killed. Even if one stabbed them, they wouldn't be able to do so for a short period of time.
"Our oriental person pays particular attention to group assault, suppressing the enemy in momentum. Killing one is enough, killing two will earn one." Yin Dong raised his head high and said confidently: "The pikes are our offensive weapons, each of us have a long knife. If we miss the pike, we will fight with it."
Yang Lin nodded, and understood oriental person's strategy. Imagine the sight of rows and rows of Easterners bearing long spears rushing at them. What a sight to behold! No matter if it was the cavalry or the soldiers, they would all be terrified and didn't dare to face him head on.
However, the flaw in this extremely long spear was also fatal. Other than being inflexible, it was impossible to protect itself with a shield since the large spear was a dual handed weapon and there wasn't any armor. In front of the archer, these Lance Soldier s were undoubtedly living targets.
It was a frontal assault. When they met enemy soldiers with the protection of their shields, they would be like the steel shield s in the Han army. The power of the long lance would no longer exist and it would become a burden. Spear and spear had been developed for thousands of years. Through countless battles, the longer the spear, the better.
In the era of cold weapons, the ideal equipment for a soldier was still a blade and shield. No matter if it was for attacking or defending, a soldier with a shield in one hand and a blade in the other could attack or defend.
"Let's go, let's head east, towards Imperial City." Yang Lin returned the spear to the eastern soldier, waved his hand, and stopped discussing about the spear with Yin Dong. Since they like it, then let them use it. In any case, Yang Lin wouldn't be able to provide them with new weapons in a short time.
Yin Dong was extremely excited. He had already treated himself as a general of the Han Army and jumped onto his horse, waving his hand forward. More than three thousand eastern soldiers turned around, carrying their long spears and excitedly followed the Han Army towards the south.
"Ah …" "What kind of horse is this?" Suddenly, Yang Lin saw an even stranger scene. The horses used by the oriental person to transport equipment and food were actually less than three feet tall and four feet long. They were estimated to be more than a hundred kilograms, but the goods they were carrying were at least a thousand kilograms.
Yin Dong immediately ran over and said proudly, "Lord General, this is a dwarf horse. Although it only weighed 150 pounds, it could carry 1500 pounds of goods. It is a hardworking, hardworking, good walker, mountain road and landslide that is the main means of transportation for our oriental person. "
Heavens, this was a rare treasure! The heavens were truly not unkind to him. Yang Lin immediately jumped off the horse and walked to the side of one of the horses, he could not help but feel sad. Seeing that the short horse that was not even a meter tall actually carried food that was as tall as a mountain on its back, Yang Lin wanted to slap Yin Dong a few times.
"Our oriental person has three great treasures, a spear, a sandalwood bow, and a fruit." Yin Dong didn't feel Yang Lin's anger at all. On the contrary, he said complacently: "Lord General, look at the bows that our soldiers are carrying. That's the famous sandalwood bow."
Yang Lin had long noticed the fine bow and arrows on the soldiers in the east, but he never thought that it would be anything like a famous bow or treasure bow. With the long knife s and crossbows that were made of fine steel, he would not find any spears, sabers, or arrows strange.
However, if this fruit falls from the sky, then that would truly be a treasure. They definitely could not let it go extinct and could only turn into a pile of fossils. He even thought that even if he was unable to attack the Gaoguanli this time, he had to think of a way to firmly control the East Ocean Continent in his hands and bury a nail behind the Gaoguellian!
The oriental person was built on top of a hill by the East River. However, due to the constant destruction from the war, the ancient city walls were in tatters. Even though they were covered by a thick layer of snow, it was still unable to cover the bloodstains on the walls.
When Yang Lin's army reached the Eastern Imperial City, all the leaders of the eastern tribes were already gathered at the eastern Imperial City. The tents outside the city stretched for more than five kilometers, they were leading their respective young and robust East who were carrying long spears, and were enthusiastically welcoming the arrival of the army.
"Greetings Lord General." Great Eastern King Yin Guang led all the tribal leaders out of the city to welcome them respectfully. He didn't even bother about him being the Clan King as he ran over to help Yang Lin lead the horse to the horse and bring Yang Lin down from the horse.
However, Yang Lin was very clear, it was not a mistake. He knew that the oriental person did not sincerely submit to the Darky Court, and only wanted to use the Han army to eliminate the Gaoguellian. He smiled and said lightly: "Let's go, we'll take a look at your Imperial City."
Along the way, Yang Lin saw those young and strong people that were being recruited, and also understood why the oriental person was unable to defeat the Gaoguellian. Although these soldiers looked very strong, they looked very fierce. However, in this freezing, snowy day, they were dressed very lightly. Most of the soldiers didn't have any clothing, and some of the soldiers only had some animal skins and rags wrapped around their feet.
Even the extremely long spears in their hands were of different lengths and shapes. Some had long spears, some had long spears, and some had strange weapons. Furthermore, most of the eastern soldiers did not have a handful of long knife like the soldiers of Yin Dong. Some had axes, some had sickles, and there were even people with a kitchen knife stuck in their waists.
During the long war between Gaoguellian and the Han army, she captured a large number of Han people, and had already mastered the weapons manufacturing techniques of the Han army. With a large scale weapons workshop, she was able to produce standardized weapons. If they wanted to deal with the backward and poor oriental person, wasn't that a piece of cake?
