The devil is coming

Chapter 77 Gu, I will fully support you!
The Fuhu Formation has really become a veritable "Fuhu Formation" at this time, and it subdued Li Yuanhu, a fierce tiger among men.
God knows how frustrated Li Yuanhu is now. He can't get out of this formation, but he doesn't dare to use all his strength to break the formation. He's afraid that all the immortal disciples who maintain the formation will be shocked to death. That would be fun.
After the immortal took action to remove the formation,
Li Yuanhu let out an extremely manic roar,
Then he quickly picked up the two hammers he had thrown on the ground before, and ran directly towards the south without even having time to ride the horse.
"Tsk, tsk, he actually ran away."
The sixth prince looked like he was just watching the fun and didn't mind the matter.
"Yeah, he actually ran away."
Zheng Fan's tone was much more relaxed.
No matter what, he was happy that Shatuo Queshi could run away.
At this moment, Zheng Fan, the master, did not know what role his two trouble-making men played in the whole incident.
It's also unclear whether the sudden change of direction of Shatuo Queshi's body actually has a lot to do with him.
That is to carry forward the style of later generations that night, no matter what god it is, say goodbye first;
He actually got himself a godfather!
"Oh, it's almost dawn today."
The Sixth Prince stretched and continued:
"Captain Zheng, let's not go back to bed in a hurry. Why don't we go outside and take a look?"
The actions of the Zhenbei Army tonight are not just a scene here. In comparison, this can only be regarded as a small theater. The real drama is not staged here.
"Okay, just after returning from a roundabout, it's time for the shops in the market to reopen."
At four or five o'clock in the morning, the most embarrassing thing is not your schedule, but that you are hungry and can't find a shop where you can eat.
"Yes, I just happened to go out for a walk. When I come back, I have a bowl of mutton soup, then take a bath and catch up on a good night's sleep."
Zheng Fan went to lead the horse, and the sixth prince took the reins from him and climbed onto the horse.
"Captain Zheng, let's go for a walk to the north."
The sixth prince was good at equestrian skills, much more proficient than Zheng Fan. Of course, this was also because the Yan nobles did not like to use sedan chairs and everyone traveled on horseback.
In their words, why are Qian and Jin so useless?
Everyone's knees were weak from sitting in the sedan chair.
Exiting from the entrance of the archway, heading north, it didn't take long before I saw a small cavalry team supporting the Northern Army. Zheng Fan and the Sixth Prince also encountered several interrogations. This should be a search for fish that slipped through the net after the war. .
After traveling some distance north, a scene of Shuras appeared in front of the two of them.
Those many tribes and entire clans were wiped out. Do not take any prisoners, just massacre them all.
Even though this battle to destroy the tribe has ended, the blood on the ground has not had time to dry up.
"This is a genocide." Zheng Fan said with emotion.
Thinking about how he was in Hutou City before and wanted to order the destruction of Chen's house, he hesitated.
But here, these real big shots often order the genocide, which is as simple as drinking water when thirsty.
The princess is like this, Xu Wenzu is like this, the old lady is like this, and meat eaters are like this.
A cavalry team appeared in front, with a Naduo tribesman tied behind each horse.
These are the tribesmen who escaped last night with the young clan leader Naduojiayang. They were captured, and Naduojiayang himself was also among them.
Of course, capturing them is not to keep them alive, but purely to squeeze out the last bit of their use value.
for a while,
The chiefs of the other three major tribes slowly came over with their male relatives and descendants.
this is a
A bloody ideological education class.
it's rough,
it's bloody,
But it is extremely effective.
After seeing this, the sixth prince riding on the horse said calmly:
"Yi Di are just like animals, fearing power but not having any virtue."
Obviously, the Sixth Prince agrees with this approach. To deal with barbarians, you have to go to death.
This is the entire strategic model of Yan State, even a national policy!
There will be no retreat when dealing with the northern barbarians, especially since there is a Zhenbei Hou Mansion in Beifeng County.
When facing Jin and Qian, both sides can appear more civilized. When everyone fights, massacres rarely occur.
Even the first generation Zhenbei Hou led 50 cavalry to defeat the [-]-strong army of the Qian Kingdom, and when he led his troops to ravage the three northern counties of the Qian Kingdom, he did nothing more than cut down the big households to obtain food and goods, and moved all the small people who could be relocated. Moving back to the Yan Kingdom, this was indeed "ten rooms and nine empties", but it was not the kind of "ten rooms and nine empties" that often appeared in history.
"But killing cannot solve the fundamental problem."
The Sixth Prince looked at Zheng Fan with some surprise and asked:
"You have a different opinion?"
Because Zheng Fan's words were simply a refutation of Yan State's political correctness.
"Unless the desert can be turned into an oasis overnight, simply killing will only lead to the next killing."
When the Sixth Prince heard this, he frowned slightly and said:
"You keep talking."
"Dayan, there is no way to completely control the desert because the cost is too high."
The desert is extremely vast, and the actual territory controlled by Yan State is like the gap between Hutou City and Tuman City in front of the entire desert.
The living environment here is extremely harsh. It is almost impossible to completely occupy it and completely exterminate the barbarians in the desert, because Dayan cannot afford this price.
Not to mention Dayan, even if the four eastern countries united together, it would be difficult to completely exterminate the barbarians.
This place is not suitable for farming or immigration. It is unrealistic to maintain the actual occupation of the desert.
If it could really be done, then the Zhenbei Hou Mansion had been here for hundreds of years, and they would have done it long ago.
"There is nothing we can do about this. You don't know how much pressure the Golden Family of the Barbarians put on me, Dayan, during their heyday a hundred years ago.
Among my royal ancestors, there was an example where the prince died in battle before his father, and the prince immediately took the throne and went on a personal expedition after he succeeded to the throne in the capital.
Now that the barbarians have finally been defeated, it is naturally impossible to give them a chance to come back. "
"Your Highness, you have misunderstood the meaning of humble position."
"Okay, you have many wise words, please continue."
"The cost and price of relying solely on force are too high. As far as I know, most of Yan State's treasury revenue has to be transported to Beifeng County every year, right?"
It is impossible for the 30 Zhenbei Army to be supported by the Zhenbei Hou Mansion alone. It is also impossible to rely on the strength of Beifeng County. It is the support of the whole country of Dayan that maintains this army that makes the barbarians fearful. 30 cavalry!
However, Yan State's finances were already difficult due to the large number of clans. At the same time, it had to maintain such a large field army, which naturally made it even more difficult.
If the problem of the barbarian threat can be solved for a long time,
Just imagine,
Not to mention saving the 30 Zhenbei Army's military expenses,
You directly move the 30 northern troops from the north to the south.
Is it still difficult to expand territory?
"Then what can you do?"
"Your Highness, the meaning of humble position is that force is a must. At any time, the force must be absolutely strong. But at the same time, if you want to fundamentally solve the problem of the barbarians, you need another weapon."
"What is it?"
"culture."
"Oh, Gudang, what good advice are you going to give about governing the country? Isn't it just poetry and etiquette?
Let me tell you, when the emperor was in power, there was a Confucian scholar named Dishan in the court. He was one of the few great Confucian scholars in Yan State at that time. Benevolence, righteousness and morality influenced the barbarians, gradually making them understand etiquette and enlightenment, thus bringing great control to the desert.
Do you think how Grandpa Huang responded to his suggestion? "
"Simple, send him to Beifeng County as a guard officer."
"Huh? Have you heard about this?"
"Guess."
"That guess was accurate. Half a year later, a tribe of barbarians invaded the border, broke through the fortress, and beheaded Di Shan."
"Your Highness, my humble duty is not to use Confucian methods to deal with barbarians."
"What's the use?"
“You can look around, search in the Yan Kingdom, search in the other three kingdoms, or even go to the Western Regions and further west;
See if there is any religion that is similar to the beliefs of the barbarians, and also teaches people to think that this life does not matter, and expects happiness in the next life, or calls on people to stop working and concentrate on serving the gods. "
"I think I've heard of what you're talking about."
"Find them, and then fund them to go to the desert to preach. At the same time, relying on the deterrent power of Zhenbei Houfu, we require the heads of the barbarian tribes to support this kind of preaching. Anyone who does not support will be beaten. Whoever supports and develops well can be given a reward. Names, such as the Department of Zhenbei Army that will not be conquered.
If this continues, the effect will be achieved in two generations, and by then, the barbarians will become..."
"How has it become?"
"Hospitable, good at singing and dancing."
said,
Zheng Fan also stretched his waist.
Road:
"The entire desert can be filled with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Even if everyone died of starvation, freezing, or being whipped to death by nobles, they still died with sweet smiles."
"Captain Zheng."
"I'm humble."
"After listening to your words, Gu felt so cold."
"That's because His Highness is weak."
"..." The sixth prince.
The Sixth Prince stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, smiled and said:
"Captain Zheng, this is a method of digging for the roots of the barbarian race!"
The barbarians believe in the barbarian god. The phrase "barbarian god is above all" is equivalent to the simplest ID card.
But if they were allowed to change their beliefs, it would be equivalent to separating them. From then on, the cultural beliefs in the desert would no longer be unified.
Can barbarians who do not believe in barbarian gods still be called barbarians?
At the same time, they use political methods to corrupt their nobles, and then use religious methods to influence their huge bottom...
Gee...
"Captain Zheng, we, the Great Yanchao Hall, lack a place for you!"
"Your Highness is wrong."
"It's a pity that I can't tell my father about this method, nor can I tell other ministers, let alone my second brother.
First, he is unwilling to give this method to others to achieve their wisdom;
Secondly, if they know that this idle prince like me actually has national affairs in my heart, the consequences will not be good. "
"There are always opportunities in the future."
The Sixth Prince pointed at Zheng Fan and said with a smile:
"How many times?"
"Your Highness, it's already the second day."
"Well, that's right. But Captain Zheng, how did you come up with this method?"
"Your Highness, your humble position is from Beifeng County. I have been favored by the emperor throughout my life. I dare not forget about the country for a moment..."
"Okay, okay, stop, stop, don't ask anymore, don't ask anymore, wait until you have the opportunity to say these words slowly to face the person on the dragon throne."
"That humble position is even more important now."
"This is the second time today."
"Ha ha."
In fact, this method was not originally invented by Zheng Fan, but there were ready-made examples in the Qing Dynasty in that world.
Because the Qing Dynasty was dominated by young people, and because of their origins, they had a better understanding of the grassland peoples. Because of this, they were able to prescribe the right medicine.
For example, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion's method of reducing the four tribes in Guiyi was actually implemented during the Qing Dynasty to artificially control the population of the Mongolian tribes.
Every year, if nothing unexpected happens, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty will take the princes and nobles to the north to escape the summer heat, and then many princes and nobles of Mongolia will also come together, and everyone will have a party together;
Then they throw out more than ten marriages of princesses and princesses to each other, and then reward them with a wave of dividends.
At the same time, the imperial court encouraged Naha Dali to preach in the grasslands.
Therefore, the nightmare of the grasslands that had always troubled the Ming Dynasty did not cause much trouble in the Qing Dynasty, although there were occasional rebellions.
The Qing court also successfully castrated the proud and fearsome male wolf of the prairie old iron whom they had fought with back then into a husky.
In fact, Blind Bei also told Zheng Fan about another method. That method was simpler, more destructive, and more ruthless. It fully explained how vicious a blind old silver coin was.
That's...Poppy.
But this suggestion was directly rejected by Zheng Fan!
Blind Bei also fully understood this!
"Here, it begins."
The Sixth Prince pointed forward.
front,
Nadokaya was pushed to the front row, allowing him to see with his own eyes the destroyed tribes and the piles of corpses of his clansmen.
Nado Kaya collapsed,
He started howling loudly, not knowing what he was shouting.
Behind him, dozens of tribesmen who accompanied him to escape from captivity were also crying. Their family members also died last night.
Around them, the nobles of the three major tribes, led by the three clan chiefs, have been watching everything that is happening in front of them.
This is an order given by the old lady, and the three major ministries dare not disobey it.
At this time, a Zhenbei Military Academy lieutenant was stopped by the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince asked him some questions, and then rode his horse back to Zheng Fan to find Zheng Fan Dese:
"The one howling in front is called Naduojiayang, and he is the young clan leader of Naduo tribe. This is the guy who had an affair with the king's sacrifice. The king's sacrifice was performed in his tribe last night.
You call it funny or not, in order to make it easier for the priests, he specially asked his concubine to sleep with his father. At the same time, he asked his concubine to drug his father, the leader of the tribe, and fainted.
Therefore, when the three troops attacked the Duo Division last night, it didn't go very smoothly. His father didn't wake up even when his head was cut off. "
"That's good. At least it's painless."
"Colonel Zheng, has your focus always been so strange?"
"Your Highness, this is a humble position with a good heart. The worst thing is to see people suffering."
"I believe it, I believe it."
Zheng Fan looked at Nadokaya who was howling over there.
Road:
"He is also a filial son."
"Yes, yes, a dutiful son."
This reminded Zheng Fan of Ma Chao in the Three Kingdoms, who was also a filial son.
It is very similar to the Nadokayan in front of me, but Nadokaya is really stupid.
After the education class is over,
Naduojiayang and others were killed one by one by Zhenbei soldiers.
The clan leaders of the three major tribes could finally close their eyes and leave with the nobles of their tribes.
Many nobles screamed in excitement when they led their troops to fight last night, but now they were dripping with cold sweat and turned pale as they watched.
Obviously, their brain nerves are a little underdeveloped, and now they feel the feeling of "the rabbit dies and the fox is sad".
Old lady kindness,
They were not asked to go back and each write an [-]-word summary of their experiences and submit it.
"Okay, let's go back and have some soup. It's freezing."
The Sixth Prince stirred up the reins and returned to the oasis with Zheng Fan.
The street market has become lively again, and the shops have begun to do business.
Today's mutton is extremely cheap, almost ridiculously cheap.
This is thanks to the many tribes that were wiped out last night and contributed the entire clan's flock.
The soldiers of Zhenbei can live a much more comfortable life this winter, at least there will be no shortage of mutton soup.
The shopkeeper brought the noodles and mutton soup.
Zheng Fan grabbed some green onion and coriander and sprinkled some into his and the Sixth Prince's bowls.
The two of them picked up the soup bowl together.
Start drinking the soup slowly.
When most of the bowl of soup was gone, the sixth prince put down the bowl in his hand and said:
"Captain Zheng, Uncle Qi wants to take him on as his apprentice."
"The humble job knows."
"But Gu wants you to refuse."
heard,
Zheng Fan put down the bowl in his hand,
Seriously:
"I have been known to Uncle Qi for a long time and have always admired his character. Now I have such a great opportunity in front of me..."
"It's true that I am an idle prince..."
They both stopped together.
silence,
It lasted about ten seconds.
His Highness the Sixth Prince said:
"Why didn't you say anything?"
Zheng Fan smiled and said: "I'm waiting for His Highness to tell you about this humiliation."
"Oh, it's true that Gu is a laid-back prince, but Gu has his own way of doing business."
"Your Highness, you are not short of money in your humble job, and the perfume is made by your humble job."
"Gu knows, but Gu is the owner behind the largest trading house in the Yan Kingdom!"
Zheng Fan's heart trembled.
This also means,
Put it in the hereafter,
The person in front of me is "Sixth Dad", and he doesn't have the troubles of Sixth Dad, because his surname is Zhao, oh no, Ji.
"Zheng Lieutenant, we have known each other for almost three days. I heard that in Qian Country, many couples may not even meet each other before they get married."
"Your Highness, just say what you say, don't go too far. It's okay to go too far, but don't go too far..."
"Okay, let's get straight to the point."
"Okay, I'm all ears."
"In the north, there will be big events in recent years, and it is no longer suitable for your development."
"so?"
"Go to the south and face the Jin Kingdom or the Qian Kingdom. They are much gentler than the barbarians, and they are also considerate and extraordinarily hospitable."
"But, Your Highness, I like the wind in the North, the clouds in the North, the folk songs in the North, and..."
"The Guhui will fully support you!"
"Serve the country with loyalty and die for it!"
"Figured out?"
"Your Majesty treats his ministers with kindness, and I will definitely dedicate myself to the country."
"Wait, what is your name?"
"His Majesty?"
"Ok?"
"Inappropriate?"
"No, just call me two more times, I'd like to hear it."
"Your Majesty is wise."
"Hahahaha..."
The sixth prince slapped his thigh, then stood up and put his face in front of Zheng Fan,
The breaths of both parties were spitting out to the distance between each other's faces.
"Colonel Zheng, you really can't stab yourself first.
I really don’t want to have to take action against you personally in the future, that would be so sad. "
Zheng Fan heard this,
replied:
"Your Highness can also learn from the statues in the temple..."
"What do you mean?"
"Be a puppet."
The sixth prince was speechless for a moment.
Pointing at Zheng Fan,
After a while, he said seriously:
"But you can't usurp it!"
"You can avoid usurping a humble position, but you can't guarantee it as a son of a humble position."
finished,
The two laughed together, facing each other.
"Hahahahahaha..."
"Hahahahahaha..."
The other diners in the mutton soup shop looked at the two of them as if they were two idiots who could be so happy just drinking a bowl of mutton soup.
The sixth prince laughed so much that tears came out. Finally he had to wipe his eyes with his sleeves and stood up.
Road:
"I'm tired. I'm going back to sleep. I have everything in my dreams."
"Your Highness, don't leave."
The Sixth Prince who had already left the table stopped, looked back at Zheng Fan, and asked:
"What else?"
Zheng Fan spread his hands,
"Your Highness, you have to settle the bill."
