- Although Wang Shan knew and was very clear that during his development along the coast, he would definitely not be able to avoid attacks from tribes in the Great Plains.
However, the enemy's attack this time was still earlier than he expected.
Although Wang Shan will be able to consider everything, he has considered it in advance. But he still missed one thing, that is, after a year of attacking each other, the five major Indian tribes on the Great Plains were short of food and clothing when winter came.
This is an issue that Wang Shan did not consider.
????????????? The way the five major tribes solve this current problem is to simply ¡®grab¡¯.
At this point, all construction in the developing San Francisco has temporarily stopped. Imperial Army soldiers were summoned, as were the Indian tribal warriors vassalized by Wang Shan.
The war machine began to operate, and all the resources Wang Shan had on hand began to be tilted to prepare for war.
"Compared to the five major tribes in the Great Plains who currently lack clothing and clothing, the Imperial Army here in San Francisco and the Indian tribes under their vassals are much better off.
They don¡¯t have to worry about going hungry. A large amount of genetically modified food from the virtual world is available to them, as long as they can exchange it for gold collected from around them.
This poses no difficulty to the Indian tribes under the vassal king Shan.
In such a harsh winter, they would not choose food if it was available.
Not to mention that Wangshan provides a wide variety of food, including meat and various seasonings.
The Indians who were vassalized by Wang Shan were something that was unthinkable before.
It is precisely for this reason that the vassal Indians have truly made up their minds and are determined to mix with Wang Shan.
The reason is very simple. There is food to eat with the empire, and there is a lot to eat, so there is no need to worry at all.
For the Indians, not lacking food is like a dream.
At the same time, when winter came, Wangshan also supplied a large number of military coats made of black heart cotton, allowing the Indians who vassalized him to feel the warmth for the first time, and felt that winter was not so terrible after all.
Thick cotton coats, trousers and cotton boots completely withstood the cold wind.
They no longer have to huddle up in drafty tents in the winter like they did in previous years, praying to withstand the cold winter.
The children wore thick cotton-padded clothes and even had snowball fights outside after the snowstorm in winter.
How dare they do it in the past? They basically spent the winter in a tent.
If anyone dares to go outside, they will definitely freeze to death.
At the same time, in winter, some thin old people, children and women will always have some illnesses.
This is also the reason why they are afraid of winter.
But after becoming vassals under the empire, they no longer have to worry about this problem.
"Doctors" in the empire who have the same abilities as those in the tribe can treat this disease for everyone, and they can be cured in a very short time.
Their methods are even more powerful than those of priests and witch doctors.
This had to shock the vassal Indians.
Fuling pickled mustard! Shuanghui ham! Stewed beef! Sugar! Fine saltsa variety of foods and seasonings that they had never seen and tasted before.
Since becoming vassals under Wang Shan¡¯s command, these vassal Indians suddenly felt that their lives had become easier, and they no longer had to risk hunting as before, nor did they have to worry about getting sick.
For them, such days are like being in a kingdom set by gods.
It makes them feel so unreal.
However, who doesn¡¯t want to live a good life?
Even though they are Indians, they also hope that their lives will get better and better and they will enjoy more and more things.
This is human nature, and Indians are human beings too.
Therefore, the centripetal force of the vassal Indians has been greatly enhanced in just half a year, and their favorability towards the empire has also been greatly improved.
After all, they also know very well that the good life they have now is inseparable from the empire and Wang Shan.
Once they leave the empire and Wangshan, it will be impossible for them to continue living like this.alive.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
"If you ask the vassal Indians to live the same life as before, they will definitely not be able to live it.
Therefore, they cherish this good life very much and never want to live the same life as before.
Don¡¯t say that the Indians at the bottom think this way, even the tribal chiefs and priests in high positions, and even the witch doctors also think this way.
Therefore, when they heard that the large tribes on the grassland were sending troops, the vassal Indians were excited.
Because they know very well that if the grassland tribes succeed, their current life will no longer exist.
¡°Even they themselves are very likely to die here or be captured as slaves by the other party.
For these Indians who came as vassals, they felt that if they died in battle, it would be a good thing.
If you were caught and made a slave, life would be worse than death.
Indians are not afraid of death, they are afraid of living a slave life in darkness where death is worse than death.
You must know that if the Indians capture people from hostile tribes as slaves, these slaves will definitely have a very low status.
?? Even lower than the status of black slaves in the Song Empire.
As an Indian, of course you know the methods of Indians.
In addition, they don¡¯t want to be knocked back to their original shape just after they have lived a good life and tasted comfort for only a few days.
Therefore, when Wang Shan summoned vassal Indian warriors, the number of warriors recruited far exceeded Wang Shan's expectation.
Originally, Wang Shan thought that he had issued a call to launch military operations against the enemies from the grasslands, and that the vassal Indian tribes would be more or less useless.
After all, people die in war.
But he never imagined that sometimes you cannot look at the Indians with normal eyes and thinking.
Not to mention the Indians of the seventeenth century.
But in any case, recruiting a large number of Indian warriors is still good for dealing with the coming war.
As the elite Imperial Army, it is of course best to avoid losses.
If any Indian cannon fodder comes forward, Wang Shan will certainly not refuse.
For those Indians, this is a war to protect their better lives, and it is also an opportunity to prove their loyalty to Wangshan and the empire.
Therefore, the clan leaders and warriors of each tribe are very active.
There is another reason why these people are so active.
That¡¯s why Wang Shan, who doesn¡¯t like playing cards according to routines, actually came up with a points system for these tribes, which fascinated the tribe leaders and their warriors.
According to the points system formulated by Wang Shan, every vassal Indian tribe can exchange points through their own labor or by conquering the empire.
After reaching a certain number of points, you will reach a level.
Whenever you break through a level, the role of this level is very important, because the empire you can obtain, the types of goods you trade, and the quantity of goods are closely related to these levels.
In this way, the vassal Indian tribes were tricked to death by Wang Shan.
They will gather all the effective forces of the tribe every day to complete the tasks assigned by Wang Shan in exchange for an increase in their points.
The goods that low-level tribes can obtain from Wangshan are of course small amounts, and the prices are still very high.
But for high-level tribes, they can obtain many types of goods, and the quantities are relatively sufficient.
After all, everyone knows that high level and contribution are closely related.
Therefore, no one will be jealous of those high-level tribes.
Because people get it through hard work and labor.
Therefore, those low-level tribes will work harder and receive tasks issued by Wang Shan every day to gain points to improve the level of their tribe.
It¡¯s like playing a game.
It¡¯s just that this is Wang Shan¡¯s single game, which is a pity for the Indian vassal tribes who are addicted to it.
There are many kinds of tasks issued by Wang Shan. For example, if there is a lack of wood during construction, then he will issue a task to obtain wood, so thatCome to the tribe to receive this task and do it.
Or if it is necessary to build a city wall, he will also issue tasks to some tribes and ask them to repair the city wall within a certain period of time.
Of course, quality must be guaranteed.
If the quality is not up to par, points will be deducted.
Therefore, those tribes that have received the mission are very serious about their work.
This time when the tribe from the plains attacked, Wang Shan released such a mission. The tribe mission was a team battle, and you could gain points for the entire tribe.
At the same time, each warrior can also use the enemy's head to exchange for personal points or receive a generous reward.
Therefore, because they want to protect a better life, but also because they are addicted to Wang Shan¡¯s ¡®personal online game¡¯ world, these vassal tribes are quite eager to join this war.
In this way, after Wang Shan summoned 40,000 to 50,000 Indian warriors, he led more than 30,000 Imperial Army troops under his command to fight against the incoming enemy.
The earliest battle was in San Francisco to build the city's periphery.
At that time, the army of the Saroye tribe, the largest tribe in the grassland, had already arrived there.
They were so desperate that they encountered the Imperial Army.
At that time, a battle broke out between the two sides in a small basin called Elk Land by the Indians.
There was no suspense in this war, and it ended with the defeat of the Saroye tribe.
Of the 30,000 tribal warriors it dispatched, only a few hundred were able to leave the Elk Land alive in the end. Most of the warriors stayed in this small basin and became the nourishment for that basin in the coming spring.
In fact, there is nothing to say about this battle. In order to frighten the enemy and open the eyes of the vassal tribes who followed the army, the Imperial Army used artillery at the beginning.
This time Wang Shan faced the five major tribes in the plains. In order to eliminate them in winter, he brought out half of the number of artillery under his command, a full 200 guns.
The Saroye Indian warriors opposite had never seen artillery.
So, they were stunned the first time.
??Even, they believe that there is a thunder god among those enemies.
Therefore, soon after the war began, this Indian army collapsed completely.
Although they are very brave, they only deal with mortals. They think that it is impossible for them to fight gods.
"The result of their collapse was that they were hunted down by the vassal tribes on both sides of Wangshan's army, and they all ended up staying in this basin.
At the same time, it was precisely because of this battle that the vassal tribes truly understood the strength and power of the empire. While they were deeply shocked, they also had a deep respect for the empire and Wang Shan in their hearts.
After the battle in Elk Land, Wang Shan continued to send scouts to search for news about the other four tribes.
He began to lead his army and began to conquer the other four tribes.
After a month and a half of fighting, the five major tribes were all defeated by Wang Shan, leaving them completely unable to peek at the under-construction San Francisco.
At the same time, the five major tribes all suffered considerable losses in the war with Wangshan.
This kind of loss has even reached the point where they can't bear it.
After a battle, tens of thousands of soldiers died, which was really heartbreaking for the prairie Indian tribes who were still in the barbaric era.
After defeating the peeps and armies of the five plain tribes, Wang Shan did not withdraw his troops.
He is very clear that this time the five major tribes must be completely wiped out.
"If he can't eliminate the five tribes this time, then although these five tribes can be honest for a while, they will cause him a lot of trouble when spring comes next year.
Therefore, now that he has sent troops, he will use this opportunity to deal with them all at once.
For Wang Shan¡¯s idea, the imperial officers around him and the chiefs of the vassal Indian tribes were very supportive.
After all, after solving the five major tribes in the plains, they can still gain a large territory. Although there are no minerals in the plains, the land is very fertile. There are also many wild animals and the products are very rich.
And, with the Great Plains area, Wangshan can also build a city on the Great Plains side.
?Compared to the land by the sea, the terrain for building the city here in the Great Plains is better.?'s.
After unifying his thoughts, Wang Shan began to look for the camps of the five major tribes.
In the end, through a series of battles, he finally forced the five hostile tribes to unite with each other, allowing them to face him together (To be continued.
