Chapter 939: The cause of the slave riot

Under the attack of the regular Qin army. The slaves quickly became disorganized and undisciplined. They began to flee like bees barreled into a hornet's nest.

"It's our regular army." The militiamen in the town shouted loudly.

"It's our regular army." The militiamen cheered suddenly. Their town was rescued. Their lives and property are guaranteed to the maximum. The residents of the town are very happy.

At the same time, a large number of small towns in eastern and western Mengzhou in the northern part of the Qin State were rescued by regular troops.

In the headquarters of the Northern Military District. Meng Tian is checking the situation in the sand table. And the staff officer next to him was introducing him to the latest situation.

"At present, our troops are gradually compressing the space for slaves. The 3rd Infantry Division is advancing in parallel to us eastward. Some of our troops in the northern border defense have also begun to fight south. There are also some security company personnel who are also participating Come in our battle." The staff officer said.

"Our current situation is. The troops going south and parallel to the east are slowly converging. The forces that can be deployed near us are also gathering. They have regained several nearby towns as our stronghold. The situation is. The situation has temporarily stabilized." The staff officer introduced.

"En." Meng Tian nodded and said he knew.

"Our troops went south to fight. How is the situation on the Huns?" Meng Tian asked.

"According to the news from the Xiongnu who we bought. Mandanyu, the head of the Huns, has died unexpectedly. His sons became puppets of the right and left sage kings to fight for the position of Shanyu. It is difficult for them to fight south. Moreover, the vitality of the Huns. Seriously injured, it is already difficult for them to launch a decent attack on us." The staff officer introduced.

"En. That's good." Meng Tian said.

"We are unable to continue to attack them. They are also unable to continue to attack us." Meng Tian introduced.

"The most precious thing is that our Qin State's reserve team has been used up. We will never find a second reserve team." Meng Tian said at this time.

"Yes. Sir," the staff officer said.

"The entire Qin State's forces are in a state of extreme tension. If there is any riot in the slaves, we can really not deploy troops to quell the rebellion." Meng Tian said.

"Has the investigation of the cause of the slave riot been clear?" Meng Tian asked.

"This, there is a preliminary judgment for the time being." The staff officer continued.

"Oh. Tell me about it." Meng Tian asked.

"There are several reasons that we preliminarily determined." As the staff spoke, he opened a folder and took out a report.

"There are three important factors why slaves can riot," the staff officer said.

"First. The slave could not bear our oppression. Forced to launch such a riot." said the staff officer.

"It goes without saying." Meng Tian directly asked him to skip this reason.

"Go straight?" the staff officer asked.

"Go straight. Say the following." Meng Tian said.

"Yes. Sir," the staff officer said. The reason why Meng Tian didn't let the staff member go on. Because he knows very well. Moreover, 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 slave was oppressed was before Meng Tian's eyes. And it was not the first time he saw oppression happen.

During an inspection. Meng Tian had seen how a Qin person was violent, and the Qin people treated slaves, especially slaves in minerals. An extremely cruel method was adopted.

They gave the slaves very little food every day. It's as little as one-tenth of a normal person. Even water. Qin people will not give much. According to Meng Tian's understanding. The reason why Qin people gave them so little food and water. The reason is simply that these slaves are afraid of running away.

In fact, this lack of food and water has prevented this phenomenon of slave escape to a certain extent.

such as. If a slave needs to escape, he needs enough physical strength. However, their food intake was suddenly reduced to less than one-tenth of their daily intake. In addition, the northern nomads eat a lot. And mostly meat-based. Their appetite is already big. but. After coming here. The slaves can’t get enough food every day. Moreover, the life is very heavy. It's all hard work. Their labor calories far exceed the calories of food they consume every day. Many young and strong Huns will soon be hungry, leaving only skin and bones. In the end, he didn't even have the strength to get up.

It's such an amount of super-intensity labor. The Qin people actually asked the slaves who couldn't get up to continue to work. Once you can't get up. Just hang up and fight. Finally was beaten to death alive. Hang up dead bodies. Wake up other slaves.

The unruly Huns would resist at first. However, the Qin people have a way to rectify it. They would put heavy iron locks on the slaves and beat them with various clubs. The Huns couldn't stand it, so naturally they became resistance. The resistance brought about a **** carnage. A large number of rebellious slaves will be dealt with intensively. When Meng Tian first took over the North. Many things dealt with are these kinds of things. The local regular army of the Qin State was the main killer of the massacre. And those commanders regarded such massacres more as soldiers' training.

So, for such things. Meng Tian has a very clear understanding. It can be said. What is the situation of slaves in the north? Meng Tian is the clearest.

"The next step is. Our slaves are all natives. They are familiar with the northern grasslands. This is also 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. Qin State is due to the tension of northern transportation. If you drive these slaves to the south. Then a lot of manpower is required. This kind of labor cost made it difficult for Qin to support. So, finally. As a result, the slaves were still natives. They are familiar with everything about the northern grasslands. all.

The people of Qin are external forces. When they took over and used the grassland, they inevitably used these slaves. After gaining trust, these slaves adopted an attitude toward Qin people. They don't have any good feelings towards Qin people in essence. They have always hated Qin people. At the same time, the Qin people massacred their kinsmen. The Huns naturally did not have a good impression of the Qin people. The Huns are forming their early national consciousness. At this time, the Qin people naturally encountered thorny problems.

The locals are in the homeland. Naturally encounter the most tenacious resistance. When Shangwen was implementing the slave plan. This method of slave movement has been adopted to solve these problems. but. The issue is. In the process of implementation. Always encounter this, that kind of problem thwarts the originally conceived plan. As a result, Shangwen's idea cannot be implemented.

"What's next?" Meng Tian asked.

"Our well-developed slave trade has given slaves a platform for communication. When we are trading. They are also exchanging the news they have got themselves." The staff officer said.

"Oh." Meng Tian felt very strange.

"Talk about it." Meng Tian asked.

"We always thought that slaves would not pay attention to us. In fact, we were wrong. They stopped paying attention to us all the time. They were interested in everything about us. These became the topics of their conversation. And our slave trade was very frequent. These slaves will be concentrated in large and small slave markets every day. So slaves from all over the world can meet in the market." The staff officer said.

"There, they will communicate what they have seen and heard. Already everything they want to know. Naturally. News of their riots will spread." The staff officer said.

"Damn it." The door was too tired and just said.

"Title him up and prepare to send such a report to it." Meng Tian said.

"It's the sir." The staff officer saluted.

Actually, for such a report. Meng Tian has no interest at all. This is because Qin itself has such a problem. Such problems cannot be avoided.

"Right. Sir. We got an updated report." The staff officer turned and left. Took out a piece of information.

"This is a report provided by some of our security guards fighting near Changbai Mountain in the east," the staff officer said.

"Oh. What is it?" Meng Tian asked.

"It's about North Korea. They found out. There are muskets in the North Korean regular army," the staff officer said.

"What?" Meng Tian asked loudly.

"In the North Korean regular army, there are muskets." The staff officer said.

"Musket?" Meng Tian asked in surprise.

"What musket?" Then the door was too tired to calm down and asked.

"It looks like a flintlock. That kind of old musket," the staff officer said.

"Who. Who exported it, it was exported to our combat targets." Meng Tian was a little annoyed. Because Qin exports weapons only to countries that Qin considers friendly. Qin has always regarded exporting weapons as a serious voice. Because the arms business is very profitable. but. Qin State has a rule not to become. That is, it is not allowed to export weapons directly to the countries that Qin is at war with. And exported to North Korea. It is already a violation of this rule.

"I don't know about this. But judging from the weapons we seized, they were not made in our country. Although they were made of Wenyang brand muskets, they were made by hand in terms of workmanship. They vary in size. Moreover, the workmanship is somewhat rough. Our weapons are all machine-made. Very strange. Very strange." The staff officer said.

\"No matter what? This matter must be found out." Meng Tian issued an order severely.

"It's the sir," the staff officer replied.
