- The arrival of the transport team was no less than a shot in the arm for Zhang Xiao. ````
With ample supplies and ammunition reserves, he can finally start his operations against the tribes in the control area.
And, for those people who have been controlled by Zhang Xiao for one reason or another, Zhang Xiao also began to supply a large amount of food and meat.
This time, Zhang Xiao stabilized the situation in the control area in a very short period of time.
Yes, although the people in the Kopuyali territory should logically hate Zhang Xiao and the others. After all, Zhang Xiao and the others were technically the invaders.
However, for the people at the bottom, it doesn¡¯t matter who rules them. The most important thing is whether the ruler can bring them substantial benefits. If their lives will become better rather than worse under a different ruler, then of course the people will prefer the new ruler.
This is not to say that people have forgotten their roots, but that their status determines their thinking and behavior patterns.
After all, the senior officials have vested interests, and of course they hate the invaders.
Because the invaders will turn everything they have into nothing. At the same time, they knocked down the high-ranking group of people into dust with one stick.
But ordinary people are different. They can't see or touch those interests. Although those with high status who have vested interests always deceive them by saying that 'everyone's interests are the same', ordinary people have no idea at all. If you can't enjoy it, people will complain.
No matter how nice it sounds, ordinary people will never be able to get the benefits, and everything will become empty talk.
As time goes by, the thoughts of ordinary people will become interesting.
Therefore, after Zhang Xiao led the Imperial Army to invade the territory of the Kopuyali people, the organizers who encountered resistance were usually those who had been in high positions.
On the contrary, there is resistance from the people at the bottom. Basically minimal.
Regarding this situation, Zhang Xiao also made a basic judgment.
Therefore, he focused his attacks on those high-level people and adopted high-pressure tactics and tactics against them.
"As for those relatively honest people at the bottom, Zhang Xiao has another attitude.
After receiving the replenishment of supplies, he had a lot of money in his hands, so he also had confidence. Therefore, he sent people to the territories ruled by the Harimandan dynasty near Iraq outside the eastern Cuman region to contact a large number of Harimandan dynasty businessmen.
From the hands of which businessmen. Zhang Xiao purchased a large amount of grain and meat to meet the daily food needs of the people in the controlled area.
This move completely eased the mood of the people at the bottom. After all, what else could they ask for from such a new ruler.
You must know that the grain and meat Zhang Xiao purchased from Harimandan were sold at a price within the control area without making a penny.
Therefore, this is really a great welfare and benefit for the people at the bottom who have always enjoyed high food prices.
It is precisely for this reason. Only in a very short period of time were the people at the bottom no longer hostile to Zhang Xiao.
After all, if the people of this tribe ruled me in the past, I would not be able to enjoy these cheap food.
Look. The thoughts of the people at the bottom are actually that simple.
Of course, you really can¡¯t blame them for that.
You know, the people at the top enjoy luxuries that the people at the bottom cannot enjoy. Living a life they cannot afford. You can't ask the people at the bottom to fight tooth and nail to maintain a life like yours when a crisis comes.
After all, everyone has different interests.
but. There are still some people at the bottom who will be brainwashed and deceived.
But such people are only a minority and do not represent the majority.
Therefore, Zhang Xiao controlled most of the top leaders of Kopuyali and used cheap food to bring back the people at the bottom. Therefore, the situation in the control area quickly stabilized.
Even though they were initially wavering as to whether they should join the Bukuts or stay and be ruled by the empire, the former Kopuyali vassal tribes finally decided to stay.
The reason is very simple. The Bukut people suffered too much loss, so they urgently need to make up for it from other places.
Therefore, they had to learn from the former Kopuyali vassal tribes in the area under their control, as well as those who were unwilling toThey were plundered from a part of the Kopuyali people who broke away from the rule of the Song Empire.
It is impossible for such a thing not to spread to the territory controlled by Zhang Xiao.
And the impact of this is very huge.
After comparing these two times, anyone who is not a fool will know where it is better to stay.
You should know that although the economy of the Cairo Concession is not as strong as that of the mainland, it is still outstanding when looking at the entire North Africa area.
The trade of imperial goods is very prosperous, and there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them.
Therefore, the governor of Cairo, Mabande, has control and a large amount of funds.
??And money will only bring greater benefits if it circulates. If it is left alone, it will not bring benefits.
¡°However, Mabond doesn¡¯t know how to use the wealth he controls.
Because in this era, there are really too few places to spend money. Although he supported the rebel army, he really couldn't use that much money.
Besides, if he wants to buy land, Egypt cannot sell him too much land, so he can only put the money in the concession.
Fortunately, Zhang Xiao has a place to spend money, so he can finally spend some money to go out.
Therefore, Mabond asked the transportation team to bring a large sum of money to Zhang Xiaolai at one time. And ask someone to tell him that if there is not enough, there will be more.
Only the Song Empire and its concessions had such great confidence.
¡°No country in this era would be able to say such heroic words.
You must know that in this era, Eastern and Western countries are basically in an economic crisis with fiscal deficits. There is no country that has a ruler with plug-ins like the Song Empire.
Therefore, of course they cannot be as generous as the empire.
There are about 300,000 people in the area controlled by Zhang Xiao.
This number is very accurate.
And the money Mabond asked the transport team to give him was enough for Zhang Xiao to supply these 300,000 people with affordable food for decades. without any problems.
It can be seen that it is terrible to have such a strong economic strength as just a concession under the empire.
¡°And this is when the oil resources in the Cuman region have not yet been developed. If they were developed, it would be enough for the empire to feed these 300,000 people in vain.
However, it is unrealistic to feed them for nothing, and the empire is not that stupid.
It¡¯s already very good to provide them with affordable food and so on.
Zhang Xiao won¡¯t do anything more than that.
Because that is not in the interests of the empire, and Zhang Xiao must of course consider the interests of the empire.
Bukut is concerned about the instability of the tribes in his control area. Also anxious to get angry. But if you ask them to do the same thing as Zhang Xiao, they don't have such ability.
The Bukuts are a typical Arab tribe and rely on buying all their supplies from the outside world at high prices. And because they live in Cuman, an area with poor products and no mineral resources, their lives are not very good.
If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the tribe was relatively large and they could collect tolls from caravans traveling from the east to Europe or North Africa, the life of the Bukut people would not necessarily be much better than that of beggars.
Of course, this refers to the people at the bottom, while the top is another story.
To know. No matter how poor the people at the bottom are, the lives of the upper echelons of the Arab tribes are very luxurious.
But these luxurious lives are based on the hardships of the people at the bottom.
So, if you want to learn from Zhang Xiao, do this. The senior Bukut people must stop living such extravagant lives and use the money saved to support the people.
However, even this will not bring about much change.
not to mention. This is simply impossible.
In order to make up for the losses and guard against the threat of the Tartanians, the Bukuts could only do so knowingly that it was unwise. Continue to plunder and oppress the tribesmen who were formerly under Kopuyali's command.
At the same time, the Bukut people did not let go of the vassal tribes under their command.
In fact, this is what the Bukut people did because they had no other choice.
Who caused them such huge losses?
Zhang Xiao has no control over whether the Bukut people feel uncomfortable or not.
He didn¡¯t have the inclination to do it either.??.
Now his thoughts are focused on stabilizing and developing his own control area.
And the Bukut people, as Zhang Xiao had judged, had obtained one-third of the Kopuyali people's territory, as well as part of the tribesmen and vassal tribes, and they no longer posed any threat to Zhang Xiao and the others.
Because the Bukut people need time to digest these benefits, and at the same time they have to guard against the Tartanir people who are ready to move.
At this time, if they offend the powerful Zhang Xiao and the Imperial Army again, then the Bukut people will be mentally retarded.
Therefore, they could only watch helplessly as Zhang Xiao led the Imperial Army to get the biggest benefit cake after the defeat of the Kopuyali people, and there was nothing they could do.
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that the Bukut people suffered too much and had no strength, so what if Zhang Xiao and the Imperial Army did so.
¡°If the losses suffered by the Bukut people were not so great, it would really be impossible to have peace and quiet now.
In fact, all this was within the scope of Zhang Xiao¡¯s prediction and evaluation, and there was no mistake at all.
You must know that the ten-person staff group under Zhang Xiao is not just for free.
Just like this, day by day passed, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.
A month later, the Tatanirs finally confirmed the news of the defeat of the Bukuts and the great loss of their military strength, and immediately began to send troops.
Zhang Xiao also welcomed envoys from the Harimandan Dynasty in the east and some surrounding Arab countries (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! - Didn't finish reading?
