Chapter 913 912. Dongyi, Xirong, Nanman, Beidi and...Civilize the Barbarians

I don’t know whether it was because of Mo Cheng’s request or simply worried that the Wu barbarians gathered outside the city without food and would attack Baigu City. It only took the Lord of Baigu City a few hours to send a batch of food and meat. .

From the time Mo Cheng sent someone to deliver the letter to now, it had only been four or five hours, and Mo Cheng even doubted whether Lord Bai Gu had opened the granary in the city.

But then Tu Shanju said that with this little food, it would not be enough to open the granary.

The terrain where Baigu City is located is fertile, and there has been a bumper harvest of food for ten consecutive years. Not to mention the granary in the city, Mo Cheng's Kirin tribe, which is full of less than 50,000 people, can supply even the largest households in the city.

It's just that the supply doesn't last long.

"The gentleman is unaware of something. Sometimes, if the Wuman invasion is at a disadvantage, Bai Gucheng will occasionally transport a batch of grain outside the city, and at the same time [accidentally] let the Wuman know about it."

Although the Wuman were regarded by others as an extension of the Jueming Mountains, they themselves had their own ideas. If they could not attack the city for a long time, they would be happy for Bai Gucheng to exchange a batch of food for them to retreat slightly.

This kind of thing surprised Mo Cheng. He didn't expect that Wu Man and Bai Gucheng would have such a tacit understanding after fighting for so many years.

At the same time, Mo Cheng also had a question, "You made a deal with Bai Gucheng like this. Didn't the Jueming Mountains swallow you up?"

If the Jueming Mountains were just a natural environment, Mo Cheng wouldn't be that surprised, but after several encounters, he could say with certainty that the thing in the Jueming Mountains was alive.

If you treat Jueming Mountain Range like a fool like this, something could easily happen.

The great wizard shook his head and said, "My lord, I don't know. The Jueming Mountain Range has only one order for us, and that is to occupy more land. If we can occupy it, we will be rewarded after we return. If we cannot occupy it, the environment will be different after we return." It will be worse, with more natural disasters and less food output.”

"As long as we fail to capture the place, we will be short of food when we return. So once we determine that we cannot capture Bai Gucheng, we will charge him a sum of food to survive the subsequent famine."

After knowing how the Jueming Mountains treated Wu Barbarians, Mo Cheng couldn't help but squint his eyes. He was thinking about how many people among the Wu Barbarians wanted to get rid of the Jueming Mountains.

And what price are those people willing to pay in order to get rid of the Jueming Mountains?

This issue was put aside by Mo Cheng for the time being, because at this time, the people from the Qilin tribe had already processed the food and meat sent from Bai Gucheng, and the food made by the Qilin tribe was quite nomadic.

Just when the cooked food was placed in front of them, no one dared to take a bite first, because the leader, or rather the Khan, had not moved yet and had not allowed them to eat.

The Great Witch Festival signaled Mo Cheng to go up to the high platform that had been set up to speak. Mo Cheng did not shirk. He walked directly onto the high platform and pointed at himself with his thumb, "I, Mo Cheng, your Khan. From today on, you and I will follow you." If I hang around, I’ll have food, drink, clothing, and a place to stay.”

Most Wu Man had never studied in an academy, and he didn't understand what others were saying, so Mo Cheng used the most vulgar and most understandable words to let Wu Man understand the situation.

"I rescued you from that hellish place in the Jueming Mountains. I gave you food, drink, clothing, and shelter, so you have to recognize me as Khan, and you have to call me lord from now on!"

"Are you dissatisfied? Stand up!"

The whole place was silent, and no one, not the Wuman or the soldiers of Bai Gucheng, spoke.

But Tu Shanzuo couldn't help but cover his forehead, with a look of helplessness on his face, "If this vulgar statement is known by the academy, it will be punished a few times if it is spoken. This is not the way to educate barbarians."

"Very good, it seems you all recognize me as the leader." Mo Cheng picked up a glass of wine, raised it above his head, and drank it down, "Now, let's eat!"

After giving the order, the people from the Qilin tribe picked up the large piece of beef and mutton with their hands and started to chew on it. Whether they are women or children, they all look like this. For the Qilin tribe, which is not a powerful tribe, the food grown in the Jueming Mountains and the cattle and sheep grazed are all not enough to eat.

It can be said that except for the soldiers who were able to have two full meals in the first few days before setting off, children, women, and the elderly who did not have direct combat capabilities were almost insulated from the word "well-fed".

Even for a long time, the Kirin tribe was in a vicious cycle of "not enough food - unable to win battles - grazing and planting harvests dropped again and again - not enough food".

"Congratulations to the gentleman for subduing a tribe of witch barbarians and civilizing the world."

Tu Shancuo held a glass of wine and leaned over with a smile, "I never thought that the gentleman would have a way to cut off the connection between the Ming Mountain Range and the witch barbarians. In this way, I am afraid that nearly half of the witch barbarians will surrender to the gentleman."

After congratulating him, Tu Shancuo asked again: "Does the gentleman plan to train the witch barbarians of this tribe?"

"I have such an idea." Mo Cheng nodded, not trying to hide his thoughts at all, "I originally planned to set rules with them, but these people can't even read a single word, and I can't understand any rules I tell them. . If you want to train them into soldiers, I’m afraid you’ll have to find someone to teach you.”

Seeing Mo Cheng looking at him, Tu Shansu's foxy face fell down, and he pointed at himself with a guilty conscience: "Does the gentleman want me to educate these witch barbarians? But I still have to train eight hundred cavalry... …”

"The Wuman's ghost cavalry are extremely powerful in charging into battle, and the art of shooting with a bow and horse is unparalleled in the world. Are you sure you don't want to do it? Then I have to go to Baigu City to ask the gentlemen from the academy for help. I think they will like the job of educating the barbarians. work."

Tu Shan was suddenly shocked when he heard this. Yes, Confucianism looked down on the barbarians from all over the world, and even used special scornful names for them.

[Dongyi, Xirong, Nanman, Beidi], this can be used to refer to people who were still in the tribal era, or it can be used to criticize countries that do not use Confucian principles to govern the country.

Confucianism attaches great importance to "educating barbarians", second only to founding sects and writing doctrines.

Mo Cheng's guess is that Confucian people are more retrograde and want to learn from the deeds of the sage master who led his disciples around the country, walking and teaching along the way.

As for what kind of [education] it is...

I guess I just need to be convinced first, and then slowly explain my reasons.

"Gentleman, how can such a big thing be handed over to others so easily?!" Tu Shancuo grabbed Mo Cheng's hand, his eyes widened, "Tu Shancuo will never give up on such a matter!"

Thank you [Xia Muyo] for the reward.
