Chapter 191 Nine thousand square kilometers of land

On the vast grassland, cavalry lined up like a torrent.

Horse manes of different colors are fluttering in the wind, and the knights on horseback are preparing to go, carrying bows and arrows and holding spears.

The iron hooves stepped on the soft grass, kicking up a large amount of soil.

"The target of the Dragon Riding Battalion is the twenty-six tribes in the southwest."

You Ming recalled the order given by the clan leader in the morning and shouted loudly: "The target is southwest, the whole army moves forward!"

Following You Ming's order, more than a thousand cavalrymen started running forward from the first row, and the rows behind them quickly followed up.

More than a thousand cavalrymen were running wildly on the grassland at the same time. The sound of horse hooves gradually became louder and louder, like a thunder on the ground, exploding on the grassland.

The surrounding ground was shaking, the weeds were trembling, and the terrifying momentum spread to the surrounding tribes.

Before the nearest Yang tribe had time to react, they saw a large number of cavalry directly flattening the tribe's tents, and hundreds of people surrendered immediately upon seeing this.

You Ming was riding on horseback and shouted loudly when he saw many Yang tribe people kneeling on the ground and surrendering:

"Take your things with you and go to Dragon City to surrender. If you don't obey orders..."

"die!"

After the words fell, the leader of the Yang tribe quickly responded: "Don't worry, sir, we will rush to Dragon City to accept the surrender."

After the leader of the Yang tribe finished speaking, he immediately packed up his things and rushed to the direction of Dragon City with his tribe members.

When You Ming's dragon riding camp saw this, they left directly and rushed to the next tribe.

With the current reputation of the Dragon Tribe, if they want to annex any tribe, they can even do so without losing any blood.

One is because everyone knows how powerful the Dragon Tribe is, and the other is because as long as they surrender voluntarily and do not resist resolutely, their lives are not in danger, and most of them will not become slaves.

Therefore, when many tribesmen see that they can survive if they surrender, they will choose to give up resistance and surrender directly.

It can be said that if the Dragon Tribe wants to take over the entire eastern grassland, there will be almost no stubborn resistance.

In just one day, the iron cavalry of the Dragon Cavalry Battalion flattened seventeen tribes of various sizes, capturing a total of more than thirteen thousand people.

And this was just the harvest of the Dragon Cavalry Battalion. Jie led a total of 500 Blood Pact Wolf Cavalry, including recruits and veterans, to capture nine tribes and captured more than 8,000 people.

Hu Po led more than a thousand dog-human warriors to kill more than a dozen tribesmen, and finally captured more than 10,000 people.

To the north, about twenty miles away from the Dragon Tribe, there is a large tribe of more than 6,000 people. They stubbornly resisted the expansion of the Dragon Tribe and refused to obey.

Yao Xian then led more than 150 dragon and tiger guards to attack directly and beheaded the tribe leader.

Then the dragon tribe's army pressed on the border, and more than 6,000 people were forced to surrender and were escorted into the mines for mining.

However, only a few of the Longhu Guards were slightly injured.

As an extraordinary unit independently trained by the Dragon Tribe, almost all of the more than 150 Dragon Tiger Guards at this time have a three-star or above level of force, and each of them is wearing bronze crotch armor and holding a thunder copper weapon. .

The combat power is extremely powerful.

Later, when Qin Yu discovered that the beheading operation was very effective, he recorded the surrounding tribes that were resisting fiercely, and then sent shadow guards to assassinate them.

Once the assassination operation is successful, the Shadow Guards will issue a signal, and then the dragon tribe's army will rush over immediately and directly flatten the tribe.

In just five days, the entire eastern part of the grassland, covering an area of ​​9,000 square kilometers, was included in the territory of the Dragon Tribe.

The total captured population reached more than 80,000 people, more than 7,000 horses, more than 10,000 grassland cattle, and more than 30,000 grassland sheep.

The huge harvest gave Qin Yu a taste of the sweetness, but just when he wanted to continue expanding, Xu Yi came over and made suggestions. The general idea is to let him digest the food in front of him first before continuing the expansion plan.

Qin Yu accepted half of it after hearing this, and the plan was gradually adjusted to continue the expansion while carrying out construction planning.

The first is the issue of population resettlement.

At present, the total of the four cities of the Dragon Tribe and the new population is about 150,000.

Panhu City is not suitable for livable humans, so it can only be released to Coal City and Xiangu City.

Coal City can only accommodate about 10,000 people, because it is not suitable for living there. There is just a coal mine over there, so it is not a livable city.

Immortal Valley City is very suitable for living, and the cultivated land area is also planning to increase, so Qin Yu directly settled more than 50,000 people in Immortal Valley City.

There were more than 20,000 people stationed at the primary mine. They were basically the enemies who resisted fiercely this time, so they were taken over to mine.

The remaining nearly 80,000 people were settled in Dragon City.

Therefore, the order in Dragon City at this time was somewhat poor, but it was quickly suppressed by Qi Shi and the people from Ludian.

In order to settle the extra population of Dragon City as soon as possible, and secondly, to increase the control of the territory that has just been added to the Dragon Tribe.

Qin Yu planned to build two branch cities and ten towns in the eastern region of the grassland.

The two sub-cities can each accommodate a population of approximately 50,000, while the ten towns can each accommodate a population of 5,000 to 10,000.

Five towns were built around each branch city to protect each other.

The total number of construction workers reached tens of thousands, and the expenses were also very high. On average, each person was issued twenty Xiaolong copper coins every day.

It cost 200,000 Xiaolong copper coins a day. This cost secretly made Qin Yu grit his teeth.

According to the original system, only three meals or even two meals would be provided.

But there are also advantages, that is, the speed is two or three times faster than before.

In addition to these 10,000 people, there are also more than 10,000 captives who are only provided with food and do not need to be paid. Only after working for a month can they have the treatment of normal ethnic groups.

The minting furnace in the meeting hall has not stopped running. A large amount of copper is transported to the meeting hall, and finally turned into various copper coins and transported to the coin storage.

Later, Qin Yu opened the exchange of Xiaolong copper coins and Dalong copper coins.

We call on all ethnic groups to exchange a large number of small dragon copper coins for large dragon copper coins.

Many ethnic people also agree. After all, compared with Xiaolong copper coins, Dalong copper coins are easier to carry and store.

As a result, the pressure on the currency has been slightly reduced.

Recently, thefts and robberies have occurred frequently in Longcheng.

The purpose of criminals is money. Some people with bad personalities find that stealing and theft not only make them feel stimulated and relieve stress, but they can also easily obtain large amounts of money.

And they can't help but feel comfortable plundering the fruits of other people's labor.

Therefore, the Law Hall has been continuously expanding its manpower recently, and has frequently promulgated several important laws.

Serious thefts may even be punished by hanging, and even minor offenders must be slapped on a board covered with spikes for more than ten or twenty times.
