From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 273: Manpower consumption

The Tufan people are very poor, but they are all ordinary Tufan people. Those Tufan tribe leaders who have accumulated for hundreds of years still have a lot of property.

During the Tufan Civil War, after Songtsen Gampo cleaned out several defeated tribes, the two sides formed an endless relationship. Songtsen Gampo needed to cleanse the prestigious tribal leaders in these places and complete the construction of centralized power. It was resisted by all Tufan tribe leaders.

Even though everyone knows that the unified Turpan Kingdom will be strong, if the premise of the Turpan Kingdom's strength is to sacrifice one's own family, then it is another matter...

Generally speaking, the more senior people are, the more selfish they are, because their capital is too strong and they are reluctant to abandon them.

On the contrary, it is a bad life for the people of Shengdou, and it is easy to be fooled to sacrifice themselves for the country.

The leader of the rebellious Tufan tribe privately signed a betrayal treaty with Mingguo, but on the face of it, it was Mingguo who proclaimed that he was a country of benevolence and righteousness. He couldn't bear to watch the people of Tufan be enslaved by the tyrant Songtsen Gambo. Send troops to protect Tufan people who yearn for freedom!

At first, many Tufan tribes thought that the Ming army was talking nonsense, but when they saw that the Ming army did not actually occupy the land, but only helped the tribe leader to set up the defense line, they were relieved.

Of course, the propaganda offensive of the leaders of the major tribes is indispensable here.

The political interests of the leaders of Mingguo and the rebellious Tufan tribe are the same. The Tufan tribe has made contributions, and Mingguo provides protection and ordnance instructors to fight against Songtsen Gambo, so the cooperation is very pleasant.

The chiefs of the Tufan tribe were also relieved after realizing that Ming Guo hadn't annexed his own ideas for the time being.

As for the future, the leaders of the Tufan rebellion tribe are too lazy to think about it. If they can't stop Songtsen Gampo, do they have a future?

For the leaders of the Tufan rebellion tribe, the most important thing is to train an army that can always fight against Songtsen Gambo. Once they are defeated, they will lose their traitorous qualifications!

As for whether the Tufan Kingdom will be dismembered or even annexed in the future due to the in-depth cooperation with Ming Kingdom, it is not the tribal leader that needs to consider. In the face of survival crisis, all threats will be postponed.

This is also the reason for Songtsen Gambo's anger. Songtsen Gambo, who received the news, yelled at Richard at court meetings more than once. Of course, it would be impossible for Richard to hear him. Otherwise, he might directly lead his troops to kill Songtsan Ganbu's lair, even if it can't be destroyed, he will burn his house!

People can run, but the house can't move!

The Ming army sent out infantry from the Western Regions from the Imperial Era system. They fought like a fierce fighter. After taking over the defense line, Songtsen Gampo’s forceful army immediately smashed into a **** head, and once again recalled that he was defeated. The fear of Ming army domination...

The two sides fought in the wild for more than a month. Songtsen Gampo left more than 10,000 corpses and retreated in embarrassment, announcing the success of the Ming army’s intervention and also allowing Chang Shu, the leader of the Tufan rebel tribe, who had walked through the line of life and death. In a sigh of relief.

The strength of the Ming army further strengthened the thigh-holding attitude of the chiefs of the Tufan rebellion tribe. In order to please the Ming country, but also to arm as many people as possible, they spent their families and bought the weapons and spoils eliminated by the Ming country.

First, the accumulated Tang coins were spent. After the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty declined and the Ming Dynasty began to use gold and silver as the main currency, the dominance of Tang coins in East Asia lived up to its existence.

Most of them were stored as collections by the leaders of the Tufan tribes, and they were kept for later use after bordering the orthodox dynasty of the Tang Dynasty.

Yes, the current Tufan Kingdom is no longer bordered by the orthodox territory of the Tang Dynasty that has shrunk for an unknown amount of time...

To the east of the Tufan Kingdom are several Jidu Envoys who fought with each other. This is one of the reasons why the Tufan Civil War did not encounter external interference.

As for the south of Tufan, it is lagging behind the Kingdom of Tufan. The Southeast Asian monkey population that has just left the Stone Age is naturally not a threat...

If it weren't for the miasma there that is not suitable for the Turpan people to survive, perhaps the Turpan Kingdom would have expanded its territory a long time ago.

To the southwest of the Turpan Kingdom is the tribal city-state system and the clanking poor Indian subcontinent peoples.

The same reason, because they are too poor, they did not arouse the prying eyes of the Tufan people.

Furthermore, the humans in the Indian basin are ruled by some strange and powerful species, and the Turpan people are unwilling to provoke them.

After blocking the expansion of Songtsen Gampo, the Ming army did not take the initiative to attack. Richard knew that Songtsen Gampo, who had suffered a loss, could not continue to concentrate on the main battle. The Ming army took the initiative to attack and waited for the guerrillas all over the mountains... …

Although Songtsen Gambo was not reconciled, he could only watch the instructors of the Ming army train and infiltrate the rebellious Tufan tribe on a large scale.

However, those small and medium-sized Tufan tribes that were remote and were not strong enough to arouse Ming Guo's help became the target of Songtsen Gan's anger.

Originally, these small and medium tribes were not a big threat to Songtsen Gampo~www.wuxiahere.com~ He planned to wipe out the leading large tribes and then slowly clean them, but now Songtsen Gampo has no choice but to go first. Clean up these small fishes and shrimps, they are drawn to the rebel tribe in the province!

At the same time, annexing those small and medium-sized tribes can also increase the population of Tufan directly under his command and train more troops.

In order to fight for the elite level of the army, Songtsen Gampo knew that it would not be possible to reach the level of the Ming army in a few decades, so Songtsen Gampo could only take the route of the sea.

It's a pity that the Tufan Kingdom was originally not very populated, but after the defeat in the Western Regions and the weapon of reducing the population since ancient times-the civil war.

Now the entire Tufan Kingdom’s males don’t even have millions...

Due to the civil war, the Tufan kingdom showed a situation where there were more women than men. Songtsen Gambo had already promulgated a polygamy system. The Tufan people did not have as many rules as the Han people, and the dividing line between wives and concubines was not large.

However, even if polygamy wants to increase the population, it is a long process. It is terrible that the newborns of this era will die high, not to mention it takes more than ten years to grow up!

You know, in Songtsen Gampo’s army, males from the age of twelve to the age of 30 have been drafted into the army. In this era of the Turpan Kingdom, the average life expectancy of the people is only in their early 30s. !

In the Civil War, this average life expectancy had to be subtracted by a few years, and whether it was 30 years old or not is unknown!

As for the army of the Tufan rebellion tribe, it is even worse. Ten-year-old children and 40-year-old people can even be seen in the team!

Yes, 40 years old in this era is enough to call it an elderly...

At least this is the case in the Turpan Kingdom. The Han people in East Asia are stronger, and the average life expectancy can be nearly ten years longer.

It can be said that the human resources in Tufan area have been consumed to a critical point!
