The development of the territory was proceeding in an orderly manner, and more and more news came back from the cavalry who went out to explore.

The mountains in the north are too dangerous and difficult to explore. I don't know how these natives came here in the past. Is there some hidden secret passage?

Compared with the north, the exploration speed in the south is much faster. The number of tribes encountered before and after is no less than double digits. The larger ones have hundreds of people and have some primitive animal husbandry. They only arrive to capture live animals.

The prey is kept in captivity and then slaughtered for consumption when food is insufficient.

There are only a dozen people in a small tribe. It is better to say that it is a tribe than a wandering hunting team. It is always ready to chase prey. It will go wherever there is food. If it encounters some tribes, it will choose to submit to them. This is the indigenous version of refugees.

.

These indigenous refugees were born after tribal conflicts. Most of the population of the defeated tribe belonged to the victors. A small number of people were not annexed due to various reasons, such as hunting teams out for hunting or defections due to dissatisfaction.

these indigenous refugees.

These indigenous refugees are very aggressive, and conflicts are inevitable every time they encounter them. However, the cavalry in the territory are not easy to mess with. They always operate in small teams. When encountering the attacks of these indigenous refugees, they will only be crushed.

.

Not all indigenous refugees are aggressive. Some cavalry teams will not chase them when they see them running faster than rabbits.

Some refugees even expressed their willingness to submit to the "tribe" where the cavalry is located, but the cavalry team will not pay attention to this. As long as they are not attacking, their mission is still to explore surrounding intelligence.

As more and more indigenous people were encountered, some conflicts between tribes were also discovered during the investigation. From the perspective of the territory, these battles were just conflict levels, but to the people of these indigenous tribes, this was a war.

Although the conflicts between these tribes are small in scale, their cruelty is not small at all. It can even be said to be cruel.

Except for those who died in the conflict, the winner usually annexes the entire population of the loser. This annexation is very cruel. Except for children and women and some young men and women who serve as slaves, all the other old and weak will be killed. Anyone with any wounds will be killed.

Execution is caused by this backward medical level.

The lack of food, the difficulty of survival, and the primitive productivity all resulted in the small population of these tribes. The largest tribe encountered in the territory so far had less than a thousand people.

Yang Song looked at the compiled information and had a clear understanding of the environment of the southern grasslands.

As long as these indigenous tribes do not invade the territory together, one or two tribes will not be ignored by the territory. But it is impossible for these indigenous tribes to unite. After all, there are conflicts between these tribes, and it is still about survival.

There is an irreconcilable conflict between them. Such a conflict makes it impossible for them to unite. Besides, the territory is not easy to bully.

Although Yang Song thought so, these natives didn't know how powerful the territory was.

On this day, Yang Song was in the study room on the second floor, as usual, handling some government affairs that needed to be handled by him. There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside.

Bang bang~

"Come in"!

Zhiqua~

"Lord, there is an urgent letter." The steward of the mansion came in, holding a letter in both hands, and stepped forward and said to Yang Song respectfully.

"Urgent letter?! Where did it come from?" Yang Song hurriedly took the letter, opened it and read it.

"My subordinates don't know that the soldier who delivered the message entered the city through the south gate." The steward did not dare to say more and only told what he knew.

"Okay, got it." Yang Song said casually, focusing all his attention on the content of the letter.

"You are so brave, you dare to attack the territory, you are tired of living, aren't you!" Yang Song yelled angrily after watching.

The steward Hou on the side was jumped by the sudden yelling. He looked at Yang Song in fear and breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that he was not angry at himself.

"Go and call Yang Zhong, Yang Li, Yang Ren, Zhou Wu and Wang Wei." Yang Song asked the steward to go down and call for people.

"Yes, I'll go right away." The steward said nothing, raised his hand and saluted, and quickly left.

The content of the letter stated that the town of Mu Shou, located in the south of the territory, was attacked by a group of indigenous people. Fortunately, it was discovered in advance that there were no casualties, but all the livestock grazing outside were plundered.

Because Mu Shou Town is the town closest to the indigenous tribes in its territory, in order to prevent attacks from the indigenous tribes, Yang Song placed two small teams of soldiers in Mu Shou Town to guard against outsiders.

Although I was well prepared to be attacked, I still didn't expect that day to come so soon, and it was still so annoying when I encountered it.

After a while, the steward came to report that everyone had arrived, so Yang Song went downstairs to the living room, and after greetings, everyone took their seats.

"Mushou Town in the south was attacked by indigenous people!" Yang Song said directly without waiting for them to speak.

"What?!"

"He was actually attacked!"

"What a courage!"

…

"Lord, please lead your troops to destroy these daring barbarians!" Zhou Wu stood up and asked Yang Song directly, regardless of others' surprise.

"I beg you, I would like to lead troops to drive out the barbarians!" Zhang Wei also asked Yang Song for orders.

At this time, the civil servants on the side reacted, agreed, and were willing to provide full support for this troop dispatch.

"Okay, Ling! Yang Zhong is responsible for managing the political affairs of the territory, Yang Ren ensures the logistics supply of the army, and Yang Li publicizes the people of the territory and grasps the public opinion." Yang Song saw that no one objected to sending troops and ordered.

"Order! With Zhang Wei as the leader and Zhou Wu as the auxiliary, send out troops to attack the barbarians! Let these uncivilized barbarians see the consequences of provoking the territory!"

"Yes, I obey the order!~" Everyone stood up and accepted the order in unison.

As for why Zhang Wei was the main force, it was because most of the cavalry commanded by Zhou Wu were out exploring, and most of the troops sent out this time were infantry commanded by Zhang Wei.

Except for the south, no other threats were found around the territory, so Yang Song decided to send out all the troops except the militia this time.

One hundred and eighty infantrymen and a team of ten cavalrymen were all sent to Mushou Town. After joining the infantry squad stationed here, they went to the grasslands to the south to conquer the barbarians.

In order to make more rational use of various resources, the remaining 700 recruits will serve as logistics transportation and escorts to the front line to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield, which will help the recruits develop combat effectiveness faster.

Among the 700 new soldiers, there are 600 infantry and 100 cavalry. Yang Ren will lead the militiamen transporting grain and grass to the predetermined position one step ahead. The art of war says: before the three armies move, grain and grass go first!

With an order, the territory became busy and lively. This is the charm of power. One thought can determine life and death, and one thought can cut off rivers!

A team of cavalry is always monitoring the attacking natives and constantly reporting various intelligence to the territory.

As various information comes from the front, various aspects of the territory are constantly making various subtle adjustments. The division of labor is clear, organized and orderly.

After investigation, reports from personnel previously sent to communicate with the indigenous tribes, and the exploration of the cavalry at the front, it was found that the indigenous people attacked this time were from another tribe, because the expansion direction of the territory was in the direction of that indigenous tribe, which threatened the indigenous tribes.

To survive, that’s why we attacked.

Yang Song is not a soft-hearted person. If he slaps him, he will directly kill his enemy.

After receiving specific information, Zhang Wei felt that the time had come and decided to attack immediately.

After making sufficient preparations, there was no suspense about the outcome. The cavalry moved forward to wait for opportunities to harass, and the main force of infantry pursued them all the way. After surrounding this small indigenous tribe, they finally encircled and suppressed it.

With several rounds of arrows from the archers, the spearmen advanced in an orderly battle line, and the battle soon ended.

Bring back the remaining living women and young indigenous people as trading items to other indigenous tribes.

The captured natives in their prime were put into a closed mining area to mine, allowing them to exert their final residual heat. The corpses of the natives were killed, and their heads were used to build a landscape on the spot to deter other natives.

The captured natives in their prime will die quickly under intense labor. This is the final destination of these natives.

As for naturalizing or assimilating these indigenous people, it is temporarily impossible. The territory is not yet ready to face the impact of foreign cultures, let alone these indigenous people who have their own sins.

For Yang Song, the era he lives in now does not have much sense of reality. It is as if he is playing a game, a construction game, but it is all played by real people.

This attack by the indigenous tribe is like the plot of the game that has developed to a certain stage, just like the monster siege in the game, but the difficulty is very low.

Therefore, many of the orders he issued were based on maximizing interests. From today's perspective, the content of many orders is a bit difficult to see directly. He simply did not treat these natives as human beings!

Even if Yang Song knew this, he wouldn't care so much. As a lord, the issues considered in this position are completely different from those before. In his position, he will pursue his own affairs.

In the past, he only thought about food, clothing, housing, transportation, and ordinary trivial matters. Now Yang Song has to think more. He has to make the final decision on the development of the territory, people's livelihood, the army, officials, etc. This makes him very tired, but

And enjoy it.

Watching the territory develop day by day and getting better day by day, all because it was achieved under his leadership, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Fortunately, he is not a foolish king, nor is he a lazy and inactive lord, otherwise, all the resources he possesses will be wasted.

When Yang Song received the battle report from the front, he didn't know what was going on. He sat in the bamboo pavilion in the garden, looked at the scenery outside, and began to think wildly.

After coming back to his senses, he sighed with self-deprecation: "Am I getting old? This is starting to make me sad for spring and autumn, haha."

Looking at the task of building a territory released by the system, I don’t know how far it needs to be before it is completed. The reward for this task is a conventional infantry brigade. Although I don’t know how many people and equipment a conventional infantry brigade has, from the "brigade"
Chapter completed!
