Under the attack of the Qin army's regular army, the slaves quickly became disorganized and undisciplined, and they began to flee in all directions like bees that had been trapped in a hornet's nest.
"It's our regular army!" The militiamen in the small town shouted loudly
"It's our regular army!" The militia cheered at once, their town has been rescued, their lives and properties have been maximized, and the residents of the town are very happy.
At the same time, a large number of small towns in the east and west of Mengzhou in the north of Qin State were rescued by the regular army.
In the Northern Military Region Headquarters, Meng Tian is checking the situation on the sand table, and the staff officer next to him is introducing him to the latest battle situation.
"Currently, our troops are gradually reducing the space for the slaves to move. The [-]rd Infantry Division is advancing eastward toward us in parallel. Some of our troops defending the northern border have also begun to fight south, and some security company personnel are also participating in our battle. " said the staff officer
"Our current situation is that the troops going south and advancing parallel to the east are slowly converging, and the troops that can be mobilized near us are also gathering. They have recovered several nearby small towns as our strongholds. The current situation is temporary. It has been stabilized," the staff officer said
"En." Meng Tian nodded to show that he understood.
"Our troops went south to fight, how is the situation on the side of the Huns?" Meng Tian asked
"According to the news from the insider of the Huns we bought, Man Shanyu, the head of the Huns, has died unexpectedly. His sons have become the puppets of the right and left kings, fighting for Shan Yu's position. It's hard to launch a decent attack on us," said the staff officer.
"Well, that's good," Meng Tian said.
"We can't continue to attack them, and they can't continue to attack us," Meng Tian said.
"The most rare thing is that our reserve team of Qin State has been exhausted and we can no longer find a second reserve team," Meng Tian said at this time.
"Yes sir," said the staff officer.
"The military strength of the entire Qin State is in a state of extreme tension. If the slaves are rioting, we really can't dispatch troops to quell the rebellion," Meng Tian said.
"Has the cause of the slave riot been investigated?" Meng Tian asked
"This is a preliminary judgment for the time being," the staff officer continued.
"Oh tell me," Meng Tian asked
"There are several reasons for our preliminary determination," the staff officer said as he opened a folder and took out a report.
"The reason why slaves can riot has the following three important factors," the staff officer said.
"The first slaves can't stand our oppression and start such a riot," said the staff officer
"Needless to say this one." Meng Tian directly asked him to skip this reason
"Pass directly" the staff officer asked
"Just tell me what's next," Meng Tian said.
"It's sir," the staff officer said. The reason why Meng Tian didn't let the staff speak any further was because he was very clear and he had already preliminarily judged that the important reason for the slave riots was that the slaves could not bear the oppression of the Qin people.
The fact that the slaves were oppressed was right in front of Meng Tian's eyes, and it was not the first time he saw oppression happening.
During an inspection, Meng Tian saw how a Qin people used violence. The Qin people used extremely cruel methods to treat slaves, especially mineral slaves.
The amount of food they give slaves every day is very small to only one-tenth of a normal person. Even the Qin people don’t give much water. According to Meng Tian’s understanding, the reason why the Qin people gave them so little food and water is simply Afraid these slaves would escape
In fact, this practice of not giving enough food and water has curbed the phenomenon of slaves escaping to a certain extent.
For example, if a slave needs to escape, he needs enough physical strength, but their food intake is suddenly reduced to less than one-tenth of the daily amount. In addition, the northern nomads already eat a lot, and their appetite is mainly meat. Originally big, but after coming here, the slaves couldn’t get enough to eat every day, and the work was very heavy. They were all heavy physical labor. The calories they worked for far exceeded their daily food intake. There were many young and strong people. The young Huns will soon be starved to the point where they will be left with only skin and bones, and eventually they will not even have the strength to get up
It's such a super-intensive amount of labor. The Qin people even have to use those slaves who can't get up to continue working.
The rebellious Huns will resist at first, but the Qin people have a way to deal with them. They will put heavy iron chains on the slaves, and then keep beating them with various sticks. The most important thing is the bloody massacre. A large number of slaves who resisted will be dealt with centrally. When Meng Tian first took over the north, many things were dealt with. These were the things that Qin's local regular army was the main murderer of the massacre. The massacres are seen as training for soldiers
So Meng Tian already has a very clear understanding of such things. It can be said that Meng Tian is the clearest about what kind of situation slaves are in the north.
"The next thing is that our slaves are all locals. They are familiar with the northern grasslands. This is one of the important reasons for the slave riots," the staff officer said.
"I know this," Meng Tian continued.
"Let's talk about the next one." Meng Tian waved his hand directly
This reason has already been mentioned in Qin State because of the tense transportation relationship in the north. If these slaves are driven to the south, it will require a lot of manpower. This human cost makes it difficult for Qin State to support it, so in the end, the slaves are still used by locals. Familiar with everything about the northern grasslands
The Qin people are external forces. They inevitably used these slaves when they took over the use of the grassland. After gaining trust, these slaves adopted a kind of attitude towards the Qin people. They essentially had no relationship with the Qin people. They have always hated the Qin people. At the same time, the Qin people massacred their fellow Huns. Naturally, they don’t like the Qin people. The Huns are forming an early national consciousness, and the Qin people naturally encountered difficult problems at this time.
The local people naturally encountered the most stubborn resistance in the native land. Shang Wen had already adopted this slave movement method to solve these problems when implementing the slave plan, but the problem was that during the implementation process, he always encountered various problems that hindered the original plan. The envisioned plan made it impossible for Shangwen's idea to be implemented.
"What's next?" Meng Tian asked
"Our developed slave trade has given the slaves a platform to communicate with each other while we are trading, and they are also exchanging the news they have got," said the staff officer.
"Oh" Meng Tian felt very strange
"Tell me about it," Meng Tian asked
"We always thought the slaves wouldn't pay attention to us. Actually we were wrong. They stop paying attention to us all the time. They are interested in everything about us. This becomes the topic of their conversation and our slave trade is very frequent. These slaves are concentrated every day. Large and small. A small slave market so that slaves from all over the world can meet in the market," said the staff officer
"Where they will communicate what they see and hear and everything they want to know and naturally the news of their riot will spread," said the staff officer.
"Damn" the door is too tired just said this
"Sort him up and prepare to send such a report to the higher authorities," Meng Tian said.
"Yes sir," said the staff officer with a salute
In fact, Meng Tian has no interest in such a report, because the Qin State itself has such problems, and such problems are unavoidable in the first place.
"By the way, sir, we got the latest report." The staff officer took out a piece of information when he turned to leave
"This is a report provided by some of our security personnel who fought near Changbai Mountain in the east," said the staff officer.
"Oh what is it?" Meng Tian asked
"It's about North Korea. They found muskets among the North Korean regular army," the staff officer said.
"What?" Meng Tian asked loudly
"Fire guns appeared in the North Korean regular army," said the staff officer.
"Musket" Meng Tian said in surprise
"What musket?" Men Taiti calmed down and asked
"It seems to be an old-fashioned musket like a flintlock," the staff officer said.
"Who and who exported it to our combat targets?" Meng Tian was a little annoyed because Qin State only exported weapons to countries that Qin State considered friendly. However, the state of Qin has a rule that does not allow it to directly export weapons to countries that Qin is at war with, and exporting to North Korea is considered a violation of this rule.
"I don't know this, but judging from the weapons we seized, they are not made in our country. Although the Wenyang brand muskets are manufactured, they are handmade in different sizes and rough in workmanship. Our weapons are all made by machines, which is very strange and very strange," said the staff officer
