Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Chapter 117 The surrender of the Qiang Di

The emergence of arched saddles and double stirrups represents the emergence of the earliest heavy cavalry in the world. Ma Su's Longwu Yi Cong proved the feasibility of heavy cavalry with its strength.

However, Ma Su was actually not very satisfied with this.

First of all, due to financial problems, the armor that Ma Su assigned to Long Wuyi was modified from the infantry armor. This resulted in the fact that the cavalry's protection did not meet the standards of heavy cavalry and did not feel as solid as a rock.

More than 80 people rushed into the formation in one wave. Although the force was finally overwhelming, only a few soldiers were still injured by javelins.

Furthermore, Ma Su really cannot praise the quality of this saber. After cutting it down, basically the sabers carried by every soldier were pitted and even damaged.

This won't work. The heavy cavalry has to move forward without hesitation. It would be terrible if the weapon breaks in half.

Therefore, in Ma Su's view, although Longwu Yicong has gradually taken shape, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

At least with this knife and armor, Ma Su felt that he could still improve it further.

"Okay, Bo Zhan will see if he can recruit some people to make a song. Let's go back after taking a rest." Ma Su shook his head, shook off the idea, and then turned back to Ma Dai and said.

Qiang and Di people generally respect the strong and despise cowards. At this time, the Qiang and Di people had just seen Ma Dai killing everyone, so they could recruit troops at this time.

Ma Dai was stunned for a moment, and then remembered his purpose.

He is here to join in the recruitment process.

"My name is Ma Dai! I believe many people know my name!" Ma Dai took a step forward and shouted at the Qiang Di people, directly revealing his identity.

Ma Chao's reputation still resonates throughout Longyou, and his deeds have been circulated among the Qiang and Di people.

Therefore, Ma Dai believed that as long as he raised his arms, someone would immediately come to join him. At that time, he will reorganize his troops, and it won't take long for the tribe to be formed.

"I am now the general of the Han Dynasty, and I am now preparing to form a tribe! If anyone is willing to join me, I will lead you to recreate the style of the mighty general of the past!"

After Ma Dai finished speaking, the whole place fell into deathly silence.

The Qiang and Di people looked at Ma Dai, and Ma Dai looked at them, but they all said nothing.

"Ahem... Bo Zhan, do you want me to give it a try?" Ma Su felt that the atmosphere was extremely awkward. He subconsciously made a fist to cover his mouth, spitting out letters and licking his mouth with a smooth combination of moves to resolve the embarrassment.

"General, I..." Ma Dai also looked embarrassed. He didn't expect that no one was interested even though he had already given his name as his brother.

What is going on? When did the brother-to-brother relationship stop working?

"I am Ma Di, General Fenwei of the Han Dynasty! Who wants to go with me?" Ma Di walked to the front and shouted tentatively to the Qiang Di people.

Ma Su's voice suddenly exploded. All the young and middle-aged Qiang and Di men who could still move howled.

"General Kamui, take me with you!"

"I am willing to follow General Shenwei!"

"We are willing to follow!!"

…………

"Well, very good, very energetic." Ma Su nodded slightly, feeling very good about himself.

It seems that he has some reputation.

As soon as Ma Su turned his head, he saw that Ma Dai had walked to the corner and seemed depressed.

"Bozhan?"

"General, you are busy, don't worry about me..."

"oh……"

…………

In the next more than a month, Ma Su led the Longwu Yi to conquer the Qiang in Longbei.

Ma Su attaches great importance to technical confidentiality, and the saddle and stirrups must be installed before going to the battlefield. After returning to the city, Ma Su immediately hid everything.

No matter what, the high bridge saddle and the double stirrups cannot be obtained by Cao Wei for the time being. Otherwise, with Cao Wei's productivity and population, it would definitely be better than them to develop heavy cavalry.

The equipment advantages driven by technology must be used in the most critical places.

In the past two or three months, Ma Su captured three Qiang camps and captured tens of thousands of Qiang people, all of whom moved to local farms.

When it comes to farming and immigration, this is a technical job. After all, people are not just numbers on paper in reality, and it is very difficult to relocate people.

For example, Boss Cao had been engaged in demolition all his life, and the result was that the rear of his house was in a state of chaos. There is a huge conflict between the relocated population and the local resident population, and all the dissatisfaction and anger from above and below lies with your Cao family.

This also led to the frequent presence of bandits and rebels in Cao Wei's Guandong territory, and they would appear from time to time to mess with you.

Therefore, Ma Su was very attentive to immigrants and farmland.

The relocated Qiang people were classified as a separate village, and they borrowed land from local nobles to farm.

Fortunately, Ma Di was a bit thin-faced in Longyou, and all the local wealthy and aristocratic families expressed their concern when he opened his mouth.

Whatever you want to borrow, we will definitely give it away as soon as the general asks!

This attitude made Ma Su very happy, because they were friendly.

In terms of the layout of Qiang villages, Ma Su also tried his best to keep them not too far or too close to the Han people, so as to reduce conflicts while maintaining contact. Even between the cultivated land of Han people and Qiang people, Ma Su divided a piece of cultivated land for military garrison.

Only in this way, coupled with the accumulation of intermarriage and the spread of culture, can the Qiang and Han people be gradually integrated.

Han culture is hugely inclusive, but cultural integration is not a simple matter. We have always been walking a tightrope in this regard, and if we are not careful, we will completely collapse.

For example, during the Western Jin Dynasty, a large number of Hu people entered the Central Plains and intermarried with Han people. But they did not integrate. Instead, the conflicts in language and culture made the place more and more chaotic.

This eventually led to the largest and longest catastrophe in Chinese history. During the most turbulent period, the conflict really reached the point of spreading thousands of miles apart.

Ma Su didn't want Wuhuanhua to happen in advance because of his actions.

No matter what the reason is, it won’t work!

So after migrating out the Qiang people, Ma Su settled in Anding County. He stayed there for four months and was busy with farm affairs in Longyou.

The people of the entire Anding County could see this mighty general running to the fields every day. From time to time, he would take a few scribes to measure the boundaries of the land and divide the fields.

It wasn't until this moment that Ma Su understood the value of the sentence "Nothing is too small or too small, everything depends on how bright it is."

Being responsible for the farming of more than 10,000 people in a county is tiring enough, and I feel like I am one step closer to going home. Ma Di couldn't even imagine the intensity of Prime Minister Zhuge's work.

From this point of view, if the Prime Minister lives to be over fifty, he is considered to have lived a long life...

In the past few months, Ma Su had been tossing back and forth between raiding the Qiang camp, relocating the people, and organizing farming. Basically, all the dissident Qiang and Di tribes in Longyou fled Anding County even at the risk of miscarriage of cattle and sheep.

Just when Ma Di had just finished his work in the first group of villages and planned to take people up the mountain to catch people... to attract customers, he suddenly received an envoy from Wei Yan. He also stated bluntly that General Wei Yan planned to have a meal and chat with you.

This surprised Ma Su a little, because Wei Yan was famous for having his eyes set higher than his expectations in the Shu army. He, Ma Di, had been at odds with Wei Yan before, and Wei Yan always disliked him joining the army.

Is the sun rising from the west today? Wei Yan actually went out to treat guests to dinner?
