Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Unexpectedly, when the people of that tribe saw me riding a red rabbit, they ran away screaming, neither coming to greet me nor attacking me."

"what is the problem?"

"It was only later that I found out that these people had never seen a horse before. They were very frightened when they saw that I was dressed in gorgeous clothes and riding a tall and mighty monster. They didn't know if I was a god or a demon."

Guo Ye knew that before Tang Jun's fleet landed in America, there were no horses on this continent.

The reason is also very simple.

About 2 years ago, the Indians killed all the wild horses on this continent.In other words, they ate all the Mustangs.

It sounds unbelievable, but it’s not surprising when you think about it carefully. Using horse-drawn carts and riding horses is something that happened after human civilization developed.

2 years ago, for the Indians, the horse was just an ordinary animal, and its only function was as food.

Naturally, there was no "Animal Protection Law" at that time, and it was normal to eat up all the horses without paying attention.

However, although the Indians today have never seen horses, it is a bit unimaginable to say that the descendants of these hunters would be afraid of horses.

When most Indians see a horse for the first time, they will only think that it is a kind of big dog they have never seen before, and will not mistake it for a god.

Guo Ye thought for a while and said, "It's not the red rabbit that scares them, but you. The Indians have never successfully domesticated large livestock. Seeing that you can tame such a tall beast, you must feel that you are a little miraculous." .”

"exactly."

"What then?"

"People fled in all directions, but a middle-aged woman came to me with a child in her arms and kowtowed repeatedly. I jumped off the horse and found that the child had malaria. Everyone in Donghua knows the cure for this disease, so I took that The child was healed."

Guo Ye said: "Now those people will really regard you as a god."

"That's true. I first got some food from the woman who was eager to save her child, and settled down in this tribe. After I cured the child, I won the support of the entire tribe and became a chief."

Qian Badao: "It doesn't sound too difficult. The main reason is that the people in that tribe are too stupid, and your luck is too good. If you are in other places, you may not be able to do these two things. One person builds a country, and the name It's nice to hear. It's nothing if you think about it carefully."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Guo Ye frowned, and said: "There is another important reason why Feng Aiqing can become the chief so easily, you didn't think of it."

"what reason?"

"That tribe must be very weak. Otherwise, no matter how ignorant they are, after having tasted the power, who would let it go easily? Can Feng Aiqing squeeze out the original chief so easily?"

Feng Changqing went on to say: "Your Majesty really knows a little bit. Yes, there are less than 500 men, women, old and young in this tribe. And at that time, they were being threatened by a powerful tribe. If they were not careful, they would be in danger of extinction. .”

Qian Ba ​​also understood at this time, and said: "I heard that the country you are building now is called Pu State. Now the place is thousands of miles away, the population exceeds 20, and there are 20 soldiers. Be good, and you will be able to come from within a few years." Five hundred to [-], you are indeed quite capable! It turns out that I really underestimated you."

Feng Changqing said: "Actually, it's nothing. Those Indians are not only far from being able to compare with Donghua in terms of weapons, but even in terms of fighting skills, they are not at the same level at all. Speaking of which, I am really invincible." .”

Qian Ba ​​shook his head and said, "Don't be too modest. If the Indians are really so vulnerable, why hasn't Donghua unified North America for so many years? Let alone unified, now I, Donghua You haven’t even swallowed [-]% of this continent.”

Feng Changqing said: "The main reason is that our population is insufficient."

Guo Ye said: "Insufficient population is of course a very important reason. But the resistance of the Indians cannot be ignored. Feng Aiqing, if you are so humble, I will lose face of Donghua soldiers."

Only then did Feng Changqing realize that he had gone too far just now.If one's own merits are not worth mentioning, what credit is there for killing tens of thousands of Donghua soldiers for decades?Didn't my words offend all Donghua's generals?

He quickly explained: "Weichen didn't mean that. I wanted to say... I wanted to say..."

Guo Ye waved his hand and said, "Feng Aiqing doesn't need to explain, I believe you have no malicious intentions."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Uh..." Guo Ye thought for a while, and said, "You voted for a country. Such a great contribution is rare in the world. It is said that this king should reward you more. However, before rewarding you, this king will ask you one last question." question."

"My lord, please speak."

"As the saying goes, it's better to be the head of a chicken than to be the queen of a cow. Why are you a good leader of a country, but why do you want to defect to Donghua with the whole country? In terms of wealth, what the king can reward you, you can't search for as the leader of the country." Is it much? In terms of power, no matter how big my official title is, it is not as powerful as the king's power, right?"

"Your Majesty, you really think highly of me. What am I, the lord of a country? During the expansion of Donghua, many countries were destroyed, and dozens of lords of a country were killed. Could it be that you still think of me because of I used to be from Donghua, so I let Pu Guo go?"

Guo Ye suddenly realized that he was intimidated by Feng Changqing's name, thinking that he was enough to compete with him for America.

But in fact, not only in terms of national strength, the country established by Donghua and Feng Changqing is one heaven and one underground.

Just talking about the reputation of the king, the two countries are not the same.

Guo Ye is the king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, a disciple of the Immortal.As for Feng Changqing, he was just a fugitive.

Perhaps in Feng Changqing's eyes, he is the unattainable and invincible person, right?

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and said, "Are you afraid that I will destroy your country?"

"Not only that, to be honest, in the process of building the country, I can't say how much effort was wasted. It's okay if the country dies. It's just that I have a family now. If my stubbornness hurts my wife, I will really regret it. Too late."

Guo Ye nodded, and said: "Feng Aiqing is really a kind and righteous person. Alright, I've finished asking my questions. Now...Feng Changqing listens to Feng!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

"Gu Wang entrusts you with the post of Governor of the Five Armies, Duke Pu, and grants you [-] acres of farmland, a mansion, [-] slaves, and [-] pieces of silk!"

"This..." Feng Changqing couldn't believe his ears!

Of course he doesn't care about slaves in the fields and houses.After being the lord of the country for the past few years, he has accumulated 1000 catties of gold.Converted into money, that is [-] million guan.Let alone a few lifetimes, more than a dozen lifetimes will not be spent.

The key is the official position. Donghua's current military system is the five-army governor's mansion system.All military command matters are decided by the five governors' mansions, front, back, left, center and right.

Guo Ye, the king of Donghua, took the governor of the Chinese army himself. The former governor was Qian Ba, and the governor of the right army was Li Yuankui.As for the governors of the left and rear armies, they have always treated others with vacancies.

Becoming the Zuo Dudu himself is equivalent to suddenly entering the ranks of top military officers, which is enough to stand up to Qian Ba ​​and others.

As for titles, there are absolutely no more than one handful of Dukes in Donghua now.I also achieved the top.

Even from the perspective of remuneration, these rewards are too generous.

"Your Majesty, isn't this reward a bit too much? How can a humble minister, He De,..."

Guo Ye laughed loudly and said: "It's not too much at all. I named you Zuo Dudu not only for rewards, but also to cherish your talent! It is one of the principles of this king to build a country. Feng Ai Qing, do you think you are unworthy to be the governor of the left?"

"of course not."

He knelt down on the ground and said: "I am willing to die for my king! This humble minister takes orders!"

Donghua Kingdom, Jinshan Mansion.

There are all kinds of tents all over the vast wasteland.Countless men were shirtless, carrying pickaxes and shovels, sweating profusely, looking for their dreams in the soil.
