Duan Wenyang's plan was personally informed by Liu Yu.
In America, which is now Dongshengzhou.
The power of the Han Dynasty could only be maintained at the scale of tens of thousands of people for a long time.
Large-scale immigration is simply an impossible task.
The current population of the Central Plains is far from recovering, let alone large-scale immigration.
And those grassland tribes cannot move all the way from the land grassland like they immigrated to the Western Regions.
Not only did they have to cross the cold forest swamps of the outer northeast, but they also had to travel by sea for hundreds of days on a boat.
It simply took the lives of those nomadic tribes.
After all, except for a very small number of ambitious people and the desperate bottom, it is impossible to come here.
The brothers Duan Pixi and Duan Wenyang, as well as the children of the Shandong gentry, have been the most high-end talents in a long time.
Since he is a talented person, he naturally cannot waste time squatting in the dock every day.
Then you have to go out and grab territory, grab women, and then have more children, and then grab more territory.
Only by repeating this can the glory of the Han Dynasty be spread in this new continent.
However, it is difficult to quickly push back on this kind of thing just relying on the few thousand people today.
They must absorb some local indigenous tribes to join the ranks of vassals.
Use their interests and cultural advantages to turn these 'Yin Shang survivors' into hawks and dogs of the Han Dynasty.
"General Duan, we are now in Bainiu City. There is a barren land within a hundred miles. Even if we go to expand the territory, we will only get some desolate land. What is the use!"
Regarding Duan Wenyang's ambition, some gentry disciples immediately raised objections.
When Duan Wenyang heard this, he immediately showed disdain.
If these descendants of noble families were in the Central Plains, then Duan Wenyang would definitely respond to any opinions with a smile on his face.
No matter how stupid and ridiculous the words of these noblemen are.
Because, in the Central Plains, the children of the Chinese noble clan are still beings of noble blood.
Even if he is as powerful as the emperor of Han Dynasty, his harem is filled with women from high-ranking noble families, and he is proud to have a group of princes with high-quality blood.
but.
Now they are in Dongshengzhou.
This is a wild continent, and they can no longer follow all the rules.
"From now on, it's me and Yin Duhu who have the final say here."
"Before you came here, you were all granted a title by His Majesty to expand territory in Dongsheng Continent and educate the barbarians."
"Now that we are squatting in White Bull City every day, can the land come by itself? Can the savages bow down and be civilized by themselves?"
The noble disciples all became angry at Duan Wenyang's arrogance.
However, when they saw the group of fierce soldiers behind Duan Wenyang, these people suppressed the atmosphere in their hearts.
They are all abandoned sons of their respective families. In this new continent tens of thousands of miles away, let alone Duan Wenyang who has a heavy army.
Even any small team leader in White Bull City actually has to make them a new person.
It's just that the remaining power of the noble clan is very stubborn in people's hearts, which allows them to continue to dominate in White Bull City.
"Each of your families has brought at least dozens of people, and as many as hundreds. With so many people, I have already heard from Yin Duhu that although such a small number of people is small, they can control ten times the number of Yin people. .”
"As long as these Yin people are civilized, we can conquer at least two or three times more other Yin people."
"Then it's time to build and expand the city and select retainers from each tribe."
"From now on, won't there be fiefdoms for each family?"
"When the time comes, with your fiefdoms and vassals, will you still worry about insufficient shipping supplies? If you want anything, just do it yourself."
These gentry disciples were also a little moved by Duan Wenyang's instigation.
After being forcibly sent here by the imperial court, many people were already extremely depressed.
All he thinks about every day is drinking and goofing off.
"If it's really as simple as you said, that would be great."
Some people still expressed their dissatisfaction.
"General Duan, the savages here cannot understand the language and are not good at farming. They are not that easy to educate at all. When Ji Zhou divided the world, even though there were savages everywhere, they could speak the same language and would not be as homogeneous as they are now. Duck talks.”
These gentry children who came early are not real idiots.
They know that the so-called survivors of the Yin Shang in this land are just a name that is misleading.
The real Yin Shang people are much better than these crotch-stretching native savages.
The real Yin Shang had writing skills, the skills of gold and bronze, could build cities, and knew how to farm.
And the so-called 'Yin people' here are a bunch of people who don't even have a wheel and are lagging behind the crowd.
What's more, not to mention the words are the same, even the spoken language is not similar at all.
"Hehe, we just want to expand the territory and civilize the savages, but we don't say we want to civilize all the savages."
Duan Wenyang continued.
"Savages who are willing to obey can naturally be taught. I believe they are also willing to follow the teachings of the big man."
"And those who refuse to obey can only be sent to places where they don't need to be educated."
"After sending them away, the land, women and livestock left behind will naturally be yours."
"Otherwise, if everyone is obedient, how can we distinguish the upper, middle and lower classes, and how can we reward those superior Yin subjects who are willing to obey and do things?"
After listening to Duan Wenyang's words, everyone suddenly realized.
This so-called education turns out to be the simplest way of pulling one faction against another.
Winning over some of the closest tribes of wildlings, and then destroying the disobedient tribes.
Although this method is old-fashioned, it is very effective.
At least, it is an absolutely good method for these Han Dongshengzhou pioneers who are almost one against a hundred.
Not long after brothers Duan Wenyang and Duan Pixi led nearly 10,000 people in their headquarters to arrive at Bainiu City in Dongshengzhou.
Massive expansion began immediately.
They took the sons of each noble clan as military leaders and led their respective tribes to expand in designated directions.
With the bonus of superior weapons, almost everything goes very smoothly.
It wasn't until they encountered some tribes that were numerous and relatively arrogant that the large and small feudal military groups composed of the children of these clans would encounter obstacles.
Later, Yin Xian was protected by the Black Water Guards. Luoyang.
In the back garden of the imperial palace, there are many pavilions, flowers, birds and strange stones.
It is definitely a rare and wonderful place in the world.
The Yulin guards on the periphery are guarding the safety of this place with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry.
Liu Yu was lying leisurely on the recliner, holding a glass of wine in his left hand and holding a blue-eyed beauty from the Western Regions in his right hand.
While he slowly sipped the beautiful women and fine wine, he watched a group of children playing and playing not far in front of him.
Another group of palace maids and eunuchs stretched out their hands to protect the children nervously.
"Your Majesty, the news came back from the Blackwater Protector's Mansion. Yin Xian, Duan Pixi and Duan Wenyang have already expanded the territory for three thousand miles. They have conquered more than 100,000 savages and obtained more than 100,000 gold and gems. two!"
A female imperial official next to her was holding a pile of memorials and reading to the side.
"More than three thousand miles?"
"Too little. Such a small area is not even as good as Dongping Prefecture. And the gold obtained is too little. These Yin people's survivors have accumulated more than 100,000 taels of gold for thousands of years. Either the Yin tribes are too Poor, or Yin Xian and the others have not found a place that is truly rich in gold."
Liu Yu was very dissatisfied with the return from the Blackwater Protectorate.
The expansion speed of these Han army soldiers in the New World was really too slow.
It took several years to expand to less than an area of the Liaodong Peninsula.
Although there are scattered tribes of local Yin Shang survivors, they have to chew the bones one by one.
It's more because the Han soldiers are still too kind in their hearts.
Many people have truly regarded the Yin Shang tribe as their blood compatriots.
In particular, the Duan Pixi brothers formed large-scale alliances with many Yin and Shang tribes in order to emphasize their Han identity.
This caused the tribes that were hostile to them to unite against each other.
"Give Yin Xian an order. This is too slow. And what's the progress of educating the Yin tribe?" Liu Yu asked again.
"Your Majesty, this memorial says that Yin Xian and his men have conquered thirty-six tribes and clans, large and small, and have all given them Han surnames. They have also clarified the clan laws. There are already many young people here. Serving in the army and educating the Yin people were very successful."
Nonsense.
Could it be okay?
Under the intimidation of these Yin tribe thugs, all the tribesmen who resisted had their scalps scalped by men, and the women were snatched away to work as cattle during the day and as horses at night.
No matter how powerful your tribe is, as long as it is targeted by these people, it will either be destroyed or submit.
"I will give orders to Yin Xian and others, and then send ships to continue southward along the coast. When I encounter a suitable place, I will camp on the beach and build a city. Then I will cooperate on the road to let the local Yin tribe quickly expand southward. Don't be too entangled in it. Inland." Liu Yu said.
The White Cow City that Yin Xian and the others used as their base camp, judging from the map sent back by those Tai students, should be on the northern coast of the border between the United States and Canada in later generations.
Whether it is climate, land, or mineral resources, there is a very big gap compared to the regions further south.
If you want to expand quickly, you must expand southward.
Only the west coast of America can be considered truly fertile soil.
The gold, land and other wealth there were enough to allow Yin Xian and the others to expand rapidly.
Most of the first-generation versions of the new crops that Liu Yu wanted to find were only grown south of here.
"Your Majesty, Yin Xian and others also reported that many of the local Yin tribes suffered from serious diseases and plagues, and many young people suffered heavy casualties, resulting in a shortage of troops in their hands. Your Majesty also requested that you send some more young people to supplement them."
"What? A plague?"
"Yes, this memorial says that these Yin tribes have been plagued by severe diseases and plagues recently, and those who suffer from them die immediately. It is almost rare that decoctions can cure them." said the female officer.
"What about our soldiers?"
"Our soldiers don't seem to have any impact. It may be a serious disease of the local Yin people."
When Liu Yu heard this, he had roughly guessed it.
No matter how you guess, you can already guess it.
Most of the terrible plagues that these local indigenous tribes encountered were pathogenic bacteria and viruses brought by Yin Xian and others.
Because of the closed nature of the New World, the local tribal people have almost zero resistance to many common diseases in the world island.
A simple soldier, for the Han people in the Central Plains, is nothing more than a day's sleep.
But for them, it almost cost their lives.
"Many Yin soldiers are the most loyal and reliable, but they also suffered a lot of casualties in the plague. That's why Yin Xian and others want your Majesty to send more sergeants to supplement them."
"Sergeant? There cannot be any additional sergeants. Now the big man himself is not strong enough and cannot be sent abroad anymore." Liu Yu shook his head.
However, Yin Xian and the others only have a strength of more than 10,000 people. If they want to continue to expand, they will definitely not be able to just capture the local women of the Yin tribe to reproduce. Without ten or twenty years, there will be no sudden growth. of.
"However, although there are no sergeants, I can send some talents to them."
Liu Yu suddenly said with a smile.
"The talents His Majesty mentioned are to send students?"
"No, it's enough to have those Tai students collecting and drawing in Dongshengzhou. What I want to give them is some other talents."
Dongshengzhou, Bainiu City.
After several months of expansion, White Bull City's coastal facilities finally have enough berths.
Not only can it be used for parking, but it can also be loaded and unloaded unimpeded.
"Brother Yin, what did you bring this time?"
As a large ship approached the berth, Duan Wenyang personally led his elite troops to greet it.
The fleet led by Yin Xian, the governor of Blackwater, conducted exchanges.
In order to ensure the safety of navigation, this fleet can be said to be extremely cautious.
As a result, it often takes half a year to go back and forth.
"Oh, what is it?" Duan Wenyang asked.
"Don't you always complain about the lack of manpower? This time I brought back three thousand men, all of whom are in their 10s and 20s!"
Every time I come back, the supplements I bring are extremely precious.
Yin Xian smiled when he saw Duan Wenyang.
"Haha, General Duan, I have brought some good supplements this time!"
"Oh, what is it?" Duan Wenyang asked.
"Don't you always complain about the lack of manpower? This time I brought back three thousand men, all of whom are in their 10s and 20s!"
"What, really?"
Duan Wenyang immediately became happy.
In this new continent, there has long been no such thing as Han people, Xianbei people, and Hu people.
Compared with the large number of Yin tribes, their Han identity is quite solid.
If you want to control the tribes of the Yin people and maintain your status as a master, you must ensure that you have sufficient force.
One of the cornerstones of having sufficient force is having enough people.
"Three thousand sergeants, Your Majesty is really generous!" Duan Wenyang said with a smile.
"Sergeant? No, no, no, it's not a sergeant, I mean three thousand men." Yin Xian immediately shook his head.
