When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 24: Breaking through the upper and lower levels of the tribe

Others nodded one after another.

Just as Gulu Xiaogui said, Shang Xiaoyi is a fool. The real difficulty is the Yan Shang. If they are angry, which tribe can be their opponent?

Apart from running away, you will become a slave!

Xin Qu also understood: "Although the Yan Shang are strong, they have no way to exert external pressure for the time being. They need to deal with the Yi relatives in the southeast, and at the same time, there is an internal struggle for the throne.

In other words, now is the window period for Xin's development.

Once they end the dispute, or a powerful emperor emerges to unify the upper levels, they will discover the window and close it, blocking our development.

They attacked the Guzhu clan next door to prevent the emergence of a powerful power in the north, which would affect their ability to seize power in the south. "

Everyone's thoughts were pulled back and they all fell into thinking.

Xinqu continued: "So, taking advantage of now, whether Guzhu wins or the businessman wins, we have a chance to have both sides.

If Shang Xiaoyi wins, the Guzhu clan will not attack us. If we are left here, the merchant will feel at ease.

But the tribe will inevitably lose a group of tribesmen. When the time comes to send people to pay tribute to the merchants, they can cry out and beg the merchants to give them some compensation.

After all, we are not only a force to prevent the Guzhu clan, but also a marginal tributary country to contain Hijikata.

If we are defeated and Hijikata invades, the dilapidated Lone Bamboo Clan may not be able to withstand Hijikata's encroachment. "

"But what if Gu Zhu wins?" Bing Jia frowned slightly.

Xin Qu smiled and said: "If Gu Zhu wins, it will probably be a tragic victory. Shang Xiaoyi will not let Gu Zhu win easily, and will definitely recruit troops from the northern country again.

But at this time, you can send someone to Amang Shang to report the news and ask Amang Shang to send troops.

The Amish merchants may not necessarily send troops. After all, they are still fighting among themselves. Who will conquer Lone Bamboo?

Whoever controls the military strength is not good news for the feuding royal family.

Even if we really send people here, if we cooperate with Am Shang to conquer Lone Bamboo, we can still get a certain amount of compensation, including many things including slaves.

The losses can be kept to a minimum, but at the same time, once the merchants leave, there will be a gap in the north. As long as we can build up combat power as soon as possible, we may become the Northern Bo of the Shang Kingdom. "

Bing Jia looked at Xin Qu in shock: "Is this possible? What is your plan?"

Xinqu shook his head: "There is no need for a plan, no matter whether the merchants send troops or not.

We all need to further annex nearby tribes to obtain manpower.

Not to mention the distance, the Di, Shan, Luan, Ku and other tribes in the mountains next door have more than 6000 people together.I have explored many of their tribes' profiles, and they are all located among transportation hubs in the mountains, extending in all directions.

You can definitely bring people over to sneak attack them. "

"But... aren't they a friendly tribe to us?" A Qi's face changed slightly after hearing this.

"Is it friendly?" Xinqu asked, "I led the people to make deals with these tribes, just because I can provide them with the salt they need, and I trade with them some mushrooms that they don't need and that are everywhere. , stones, in exchange for the so-called friendliness.

Don’t forget how they came down from the mountain to rob us before I traded with them. "

Everyone looked at each other in shock. It is true that the Xin family has not received the kindness of these tribes in these years.

The reason why he stopped fighting was purely because of Xin Qu's first-rate trading ability and his mastery of manipulation.

If you think about it carefully, it has only been more than a year since the film was released.

"Befriend far away and attack close, the strong will be strong, the weak will be destroyed. Standing here, recuperating, all you get is aggression and being taken advantage of.

It would be better to seize the land and gain people, sacrifice the ghosts and gods that support them to the emperor, and then allow more naturalized people to have the opportunity to gain a foothold in the Xin clan.

Everyone, the emperor loves people. "

Xinqu smiled and looked at the supervisors: "We who believe in the Emperor must be determined to dedicate ourselves to the Emperor's great cause of arranging the world!

Happy to ask about the battle!You are already the overseers. If you kill two more enemies, you can set up a household.

At that time, I allow those of you who perform well to choose women from the newly conquered tribes as your female slaves.

When the children you give birth to reach adulthood, you will have the opportunity to become a true member of the Youxin clan along with your children. "

"Wait a minute, didn't you say that naturalized people can't become clansmen?" Bing Jia frowned and looked at Xin Qu.

Many "nobles" also frowned.

Gulu Xiaogui said hey: "In order to have the Xin family to kill the enemy, and to have the Xin family to farm, the children have become members of the Xin family, how can we not let them come in together?
When have you ever seen people driving away warriors fighting for the tribe?Anyway, I haven’t seen it since I was a child. "

Bing Jia was silent after hearing this, and the other nobles also calmed down.

Very simple truth.

If you work together for the clan, you should get the rewards you deserve, otherwise who will do it for you?

On the other hand, the naturalized overseers were breathing a little faster.

Do they actually have the chance to become clan members in advance?
Xinqu smiled kindly at the old man who spoke for him, and then said to the tribesmen: "Naturalization is just a transition, the ultimate goal is for them to work with us to deal with more dangers and enemies.

For example, the merchants in the south.

The ghosts and gods they believed in drove them to use human resentment to sacrifice to the emperor.

The ghosts and gods raised them, including their kings, witches, and nobles, and all living creatures were sacrifices.

If they really end their internal fighting, they will inevitably move to the next step of expansion.

At that time, we will really be driven to the prairie, drinking wind and sand with Hijikata and the others, or being sacrificed by the whole clan.

For the glory of the Emperor, we must accumulate strength, win over more tribes, and oppose the belief in evil gods and ghosts together!

Under the emperor's banner, we should not and cannot dislike each other, but should seek common ground while reserving differences. "

Xin Qu spread the doctrine gently: "Return the ghosts and gods to their places. After death, you and I will also have the opportunity to become ghosts and gods! Protect the one who cares for the people.

Of course, Wu and I discussed it several times.

In view of the emperor's intention to stay, Wu and I decided to restart the ancestor worship.

This time the sacrifice is not the same as before, all the dead are sacrificed.

The only people in the tribe who have made public sacrifices are the ancestors who have made great contributions to the tribe.Especially those who fight for the development of tribal technology and the survival of the tribe.

The rest is left to each family to perform sacrifices. "

Xin Qu looked at Wu Yi: "Wu Yi, the witch will give you the specifications of the ancestral temple and the construction method of the shrine. I wish your witch family can inherit this area in an orderly manner.

Although there is only one lineage of witches, in view of the urgent need for the clan to standardize the correct way of sacrifice, and also for the ancestors to have the opportunity to replace the evil ghosts and gods as new ghosts and gods in the future.

I hope you can come forward and become temple blessings to help the clan maintain the sacrifices of all the naturalized ghosts and gods and ancestral gods. "

"Since you said so, Qu, I will definitely explain it!" Wu Yi patted his chest and smiled like a child who got candy.

Xinqu smiled and looked at the other families: "After Wu discussed with me, we decided to posthumously name the ancestor of the Chu tribe who followed the Xiahou family to control the floods as Uncle Xin Shui, and ask him to protect us along the Xin River from floods."

"There is also Guluda, the first person of the Xin family to build a car. I am also going to post him as a Taoist god to bless us when we go out for business and return safely."

Xinqu quickly named the ancestors of each family and determined each divine position, priesthood, and subsequent sacrificial specifications.

The nobles had gone from frowning to smiling. As for the younger generation, Bing Jia and the others had no objections after hearing Xin Qu's decision to posthumous titles to A Qi's group of soldiers who died in battle ten years ago.

Finally, Xin Qu looked at the naturalized overseers: "With the expansion of the Youxin clan, you will all become village caretakers under the Youxin clan's city in the future. When you die, the Youxin clan will not forget your efforts. I think the tribe will also allow you to become the ghosts and gods that protect this place."

"I will die for the Xin family!"

Che Baihu knelt down excitedly, exposed his neck and kissed the ground under Xin Qu's feet.

Xinqu shook his head and said, "As long as it's for the Xin family, I won't treat you badly, and my clansmen won't treat you badly either. Life or death."

"Patriarch!!!"

This real cry of mountain came from the mouths of the naturalized overseers.

"But I still want to say something ugly. It's right for the sake of the clan, but it can't be too much. We have the Xin family who was also the leader of one party. There are still a lot of rules. Don't violate them. Otherwise... I don't know the merits or demerits. Can’t comment.”

Xin Qu looked at Xin Huo. In fact, his name should be Xing Huo, and he was the old man who managed the tribe's laws.

Seeing Xin Qu's gaze, the old man smiled and showed his toothless mouth: "The laws of the clan should be in line with the current times. Come to me to change them when you have time."

The tribesmen were shocked. They didn't expect that this old man would support Xin Qu!

"I'll come and bother you when I come back from the Red Rock Tribe." Xin Qu saluted, and then continued to invite everyone to drink.

The nobles laughed and drank together, and they had fewer problems afterwards.
