Chapter 429 Two Systems
The sound of hoofbeats behind him was getting closer and closer, and the concubine Mie quietly looked back at the thick barbarian rider, and quietly reined in the horse's reins, slowing down her speed.

Shirahoshi didn't know what the master meant, but obediently slowed down his pace.

The concubine Mi quietly turned her head to observe, but she didn't turn her head completely, so that the barbarian mistakenly thought that she was just riding hard, so she deliberately twisted her body.

There was the whistling wind in his ears, but in the wind, he could still hear the trampling of Hu people's horses, the distance was already very close.

At the moment when the two horses were about to keep pace, the prisoner Mi caught sight of the barbarian's movements from the corner of his eyes, and he secretly smiled inwardly, waiting for such an opportunity, the barbarian wanted to drag him off the horse to ensure that victory.

He deliberately slowed down and twisted his body before, all in order to trick this barbarian into doing it.

The moment Hu Ren stretched out his hand, the concubine Mie caught the stirrup with one foot, turned directly to the side of the horse's belly, and patted Bai Xing at the same time.

The tacit understanding of riding for many years made Bai Xing suddenly squeeze towards the barbarians.The barbarian stretched out his hand to catch the empty space, the concubine Miu exerted force on her waist, her body bounced back like a bent bamboo and sat upright on the saddle, just a stagger, the barbarian's white horse had already surpassed Bai Xing by a horse's head.

The Hu people caught the air, and the concubine Mie gave up half a horse's head, and there was no chance to do anything to the concubine Mie again.

The moment the concubine Mie sat up straight, she kicked the horse's belly violently. Bai Xing took a sharp step forward in pain. Said: "Come down!"

With both arms strong, standing on the stirrups with both feet, he was able to exert the strength of his waist and abdomen, and grabbed the barbarian's body and thrust it hard on the ground.The white horse knew that its owner had fallen to the ground, so it hurriedly stopped, and the concubine Mie didn't look at how the Hu man fell, and leaned over and continued to charge wildly.

His dodging, lifting, and throwing were almost instantaneous. After the throw, the righteous teachers roared in unison to strengthen their power.

When there was still a hundred steps away from the finish line, Shu Pu Mi looked back and found that no one could catch up to her.

He was also a young man who liked to show off, so he lightly pulled the rein to slow down Bai Xing, since no one could catch up anyway.

Hold down the saddle with both hands, and take both feet out of the stirrups. When Shirahoshi's steps gradually stabilized, he suddenly pushed upwards, stood with both feet on the saddle, stood up on the saddle, put his fingers in his mouth, and blew towards the surroundings. There was a whistle.

Thousands of people cheered for this whistle, but the price he paid for this whistle was that he fell on horseback many times when he was a child, and suffered the pain of being spanked with a broom many times by his mother .

The cheers all around were louder, the prisoner blew a few times, sat down on the horseback with a low body, and at the moment when the people broke through the finish line, turned over on the horseback and finished, hooking one foot on the stirrup, facing He galloped in the direction of the leader of the barbarians.

The volunteer teacher cheered like thunder, the drummer beat the drums to cheer, thousands of people cheered endlessly, even many Hu people were also impressed by the equestrian skills of the concubine Mi, and praised each other.

On the stands, General Qu stroked his beard and smiled.After all, because of his father, this young man, Concubine Mi, was known by Qu Jiang's name, and he liked the young man's vitality even more when he saw the young man's vitality.

A leader of the Hu people said with some sourness: "If you don't have saddle stirrups, you can't win."

Qu Jiang thought to himself, nonsense, if you compete in farming, you can't win, it's just that we don't compete.

Thinking this way in his heart, he said: "The difference between man and beast lies in wisdom, in that man can master the will of heaven and make a saddle and stirrup. Otherwise, a wolf is worse than a ferocious man, and a tiger is worse than a brave man, but wolf skin The tiger's skin is covered by people, this is why people understand that the will of heaven can be used wisely, but beasts can't."

"Central Plains farming, not good at riding horses, but with saddles and stirrups, the Central Plains can also have hundreds of thousands of riders, which is incomparable in the grasslands. Do you know how big the Central Plains is? How many people are there?"

The leader of the Hu people remained silent and stopped arguing.

After watching some more performances, both sides had their own victories, but in the end, after the volunteers showed shelling, volleys, and charging with spears, the faces of these barbarian leaders finally changed, and they no longer thought about the incompetence of the concubine Mi Sheng , dare not speak.

The leader who rejected the robbery invitation thought secretly: "I only knew that they were good at defending the city, but I didn't expect them to be so brave. How can these people from the tribe be able to fight against them?"

Just now, the spear-holding impact of the warrior knight moved like a mountain under the stampede, crushing all the enemies in front of him.

The Hu people had no stirrups, no high-bridge saddles, so they could only ride and shoot but could not charge. Now that the musketeers formed a formation and mounted and shot, they did not have any advantage. If they were to meet, there was really no chance of winning.

After a demonstration, Qu Jiang was also quite satisfied. Looking at the expression of the leader of the Hu people, he said slowly: "A few days ago, our people returned and made a deal. This is normal. But after the deal, they were attacked. , Failure to keep promises, this is something we cannot allow."

"Since your tribe did not participate, of course we will not take revenge on you. One day, if those leaders are captured, they will set up wooden poles here, hang them here, and educate their tribe members!"

The Mo family is trustworthy, and these Hu people who are relatively close to Gaoliu also know that he said this and showed his military strength before. These leaders all thought that those tribes might be wiped out.

He also thought that if he could follow along, he could share the spoils of war such as women, tribesmen, horses, etc., so they all said: "Those tribes don't keep their promises, this is what the ancestors don't like. Such people should be punished. If you Send troops, we are willing to follow!"

Seeing that the purpose of dancing with relatives had been achieved, General Qu began to discuss the future system issues with the leaders of the Hu tribes who came here to participate in the rally within a radius of hundreds of miles.

At this time, the Hu tribes did not have a formal system, and were still in a period of institutional vacuum. Under the deterrence of force, and the institutional policies formulated by Sishang, the leaders of these tribes had to accept it.

Now the land has not been surveyed, the pasture land of the Hu people has not been clearly divided, they have not yet dried the grass to prepare for winter, and they do not have enough tools. This provides the basis for the promotion of many policies in the north of Gaoliu this time.

Gaoliu will send people among the various tribes to draw atlases and inquire about the traditional pastures of each tribe.During this period, all tribes are not allowed to harm, and all food and use will be temporarily recorded or given money, which can be exchanged for various goods urgently needed by the Hu people in Gaoliu.

Once the mapping is successful, in order to prevent the various tribes from "fighting each other", in fact, to prevent the big fish from eating the small fish and becoming bigger, the range of the pastures of each tribe will be delineated, and the pastures are not allowed to graze at will.Once crossed, Gao Liu will send troops to intervene, and at the same time, other tribes will also send troops to maintain this system.

The nine tribes in this alliance vowed not to attack each other, and Gao Liu, who violated the alliance, would send troops to conquer.

All tribes have to send people to live in Gaoliu, nominally to escape the bitter cold life, but in fact to be hostages, and at the same time to neutralize them as much as possible.

In the future, all tribes will implement the equal share inheritance system. This can be supported by nobles other than the leader. had to accept.

After the succession, the respective pastoral areas shall be demarcated, and the borders shall not be crossed arbitrarily.Crossing the border is regarded as treason, and the Mohists will send troops to punish them. The amount of cattle and sheep punished will be paid to the tribe who crossed the border. If the compensation is not paid, punishment will be imposed.

Every summer, the leaders of various tribes go to Gaoliu City. In addition to receiving transaction vouchers, they also need to receive annual "sweet dates", including a certain amount of iron pots, cotton cloth, grain, silk, tea, glass, etc.

The amount given is not much, and it is only a small part compared to the profits from trade, but this sweet date is enough for these bitter cold tribes to consider it a great gift.

Gao Liu will appoint inspectors of nine tribes, mainly to mediate disputes among the tribes and count the number of tribes.

The inspector is appointed by Gaoliu, and three adjutants are selected by the nine tribes. The adjutants are paid well and cannot be concurrently served by the tribal leaders. At the same time, the adjutants must have lived in Gaoliu as a hostage for several years to be eligible to be elected.

On Gaoliu's side, with those mountains as the boundary, they acquiesced to the Hu people's serfdom, and for the time being will not use too radical policies that make the tribal nobles nervous.The main reason is that there is not enough manpower now, and when there are enough people, they will naturally turn their backs.

According to the population, each tribe dispatched a certain number of people to serve as labor labor, and set up salt and soda cooking workshops in some salt lake areas.

The ownership of these salt lakes and alkali lakes belongs to Gaoliu and the nine tribes, and no tribe can occupy them.

The proceeds from boiling salt and soda, in addition to paying the corvee wages, are divided [-]-[-], and each tribe distributes the benefits according to the number of people provided, and this money is directly paid to the leaders and nobles of each tribe.

The money given can be used to buy food and luxury goods in Gaoliu.

In case of a famine, Gaoliu will provide a certain amount of food support, but the amount will not be too much. Those who cannot guarantee survival can migrate to Gaoliu, and Gaoliu will organize them to cultivate so that they can survive.

In case of the need to send troops, each tribe dispatched a certain number of cavalry as auxiliary according to the number of people, mainly to target threats on the grassland.Including any prairie tribe that launched an attack on these nine tribes, any tribe that betrayed today's oath to start an internal war, etc.

Among the trophies obtained, horses, cattle and sheep, etc., will be distributed to the leaders of these tribes, but the population cannot be distributed, and all will migrate to Gaoliu, where Gaoliu will organize farming.

If there is a conflict within the tribe, it is strictly forbidden to resolve it by itself. It must be decided in the annual meeting after the inspector.

The nine tribes recognized the protection of the Mohists, and the Mohist troops could march and station in the nine tribes at any time.But the internal system of the tribe, within the scope of the established oath at this time, the Mohists will not interfere for the time being.

For the herdsmen who fled to the border fort, the tribe shall not pursue it. Once they arrive at the border fort, everything will be in accordance with the Mohist system and laws.

In the mutual market trade, the leaders of the nine tribes jointly send out some people to organize caravans with the Mohists to conduct transactions in tribes farther away, and the profits are also shared by the leaders of each tribe.This will make the nobles of various tribes jealous, and the nobles will support this internal system of decentralization and equalization. It will take a few years for these nine tribes to be divided into dozens.

The population of these tribes is not large, and Gaoliu can only control within a few hundred miles to the north, but now the Hu people have not yet had a unified leader. Much easier.
