Chapter 212: Pacification of the Northern Di
In the next few days, the military camp rested and recuperated while operating at high speed like a sophisticated war machine.
Teams of messengers carrying Prince Yong's ultimatum rushed to every corner of the grassland.
Yanmao's caravans also began to move frequently, and a large amount of supplies began to gather towards the border under the escort of the army. This was both a show of strength and a preparation for the upcoming large-scale governance.
Dongfang Yuning was not idle either.
She dragged Nangong Ye along and spent the whole day in the makeshift combat command tent, looking at the sand table and map, combined with the real-time terrain scanning and data analysis provided by AI Zero.
As well as various ancient and modern ethnic integrations that System 118 has dug out from the vast database.
A successful case of frontier governance, although it often went in strange directions, with detailed offensive strategies and post-war resettlement plans.
[Host, according to the thermal scan and sonic detection provided by Zero, the main force of the Blackwater Tribe is currently gathered in this valley, and the only water source they rely on is the upper reaches of this river.
Suggestion: Send the elite troops of the Mountain Ghost Camp to infiltrate and deploy 'Strong Tranquility Powder' (enhanced Croton Powder) to weaken their combat effectiveness, and then conduct a siege to minimize our casualties.
The AI calmly makes tactical suggestions.
[Wow! Zero, you're so insidious! But I like it!]
Dongfang Yuning's eyes lit up.
"Putting strong croton powder upstream, this is good! No bloodshed!"
Nangong Ye looked at the precise terrain map and enemy distribution projected by AI Zero on the sand table, his eyes slightly fixed.
He has become accustomed to Ning'er's "magic tricks" and can quickly transform them into actual tactical advantages.
"Mo Ying, follow the plan the princess gave us."
"yes!"
[118, quick check, what is the best economic control method for this nomadic people in history?]
Dongfang Yuning called out in his mind.
【Here it comes! 】
System 118 responded immediately,
According to database analysis, simply providing financial aid is not advisable, as it can easily lead to the enemy becoming overly wealthy and then biting you back! The key is to control their economic lifeline!
Suggestions: First, control the supply of key materials such as salt, iron, tea, and medicine; second, promote the Yanmao currency so that its trade settlement depends on us; third, introduce high-quality breeding livestock and agricultural technology, but the core technology must be in our own hands.
Gradually change their purely nomadic habits and increase the proportion of settled people to facilitate management... Oh, and! We can also develop a "wool and cashmere franchise."
They raise sheep, we buy them at a set price, process them into high-end textiles, and then sell them back or even export them. The bulk of the profits are ours!
118 makes perfect sense.
Dongfang Yuning nodded repeatedly after hearing this, immediately took out a small notebook to write it down, and then excitedly shared it with Nangong Ye:
"Husband! We can do this..."
Nangong Ye looked at her serious expression, supplemented and improved as he listened, and soon a long-term control strategy that combined soft and hard tactics and economic and cultural parallels was initially formed.
A few days later, messengers brought back news one after another.
As expected, reactions from different parts of the grasslands varied.
Most of the tribes near Yanmao, which had already tasted the sweetness of trade or were frightened by the attacks, quickly expressed their submission, and the chiefs personally rushed to the military camp with gifts and surrender letters.
However, some tribes that were farther away, believed themselves to be strong, or were extremely conservative took a tough stance, even beheading messengers in an open provocation.
"very good."
Nangong Ye looked at the names of the tribes that danced the most on the list with cold eyes.
"It's just right to establish my authority."
After a good rest, the Dayan army, well-equipped and in high morale, set out again.
This time, it is no longer a single crushing, but a multi-point blossoming.
Nangong Ye was in charge of the central army and was in charge of the overall planning.
Dongfang Yuning became a military technology consultant, relying on AI Zero's precise scanning and early warning, as well as the occasional asymmetric weapons recommendations.
For example, when targeting a tribe relying on a steep mountain pass, AI Zero suggested using an infrasound generator to create the roar of a mountain god, which frightened the defenders so much that they collapsed without a fight. The army then made rapid progress and made unstoppable progress.
The battles aren't always easy.
They encountered fierce resistance from a stubborn tribe called the Vulture Tribe.
The Vulture Tribe's warriors were fearless and used the complex terrain to block the enemy's attacks layer by layer. They even launched suicidal night attacks, causing some trouble for the Dragon Wing Guards.
During the fierce battle, a cold arrow shot towards Dongfang Yuning who was observing the battlefield!
"Ning'er!"
Nangong Ye's eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly threw her to the ground and protected her under his body!
The arrow brushed past Nangong Ye's arm, leaving a trail of blood.
"Husband!"
Dongfang Yuning turned pale with fright, and when he saw the wound on his arm, he immediately became furious!
[Zero! Find this bastard who stabbed me in the back! Also, where is the leader of the Vulture Tribe?!]
[Command received! Sniper's position locked: 11 o'clock, behind a boulder 300 meters away.]
Vulture Headman's location: Inside the main tent directly ahead. Recommendation: Use 'Precision Shock Arrows' (disguised as regular arrows) to counter sniper attacks; use 'Stun Grenade' (disguised as thunder) on the main tent to break the deadlock.
AI zero quick response.
"Mo Ying! At 11 o'clock, three hundred meters behind the boulder, take care of it!"
Nangong Ye covered his wound and gave orders in a cold voice, while at the same time holding down Dongfang Yuning who wanted to rush out.
Almost at the same time, a tiny blue light flashed, and a short scream came from behind a huge rock in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, a ball of dazzling white light and a dull bang suddenly exploded without warning above the main camp of the Vulture Tribe!
a bolt from the blue!
The Vulture warriors who were fighting desperately were frightened out of their wits by this "thunder from the sky", and their offensive was instantly halted!
"The chief was struck by thunder!"
Someone shouted, and the morale of the Vulture Tribe collapsed instantly!
The Longling Guards took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack and broke through the defense line in one fell swoop.
The battle ended quickly.
The vulture-headed man was simply knocked unconscious and taken prisoner.
The sniper who shot the arrow had already been charred.
After this battle, the last few tribes on the grassland that were still resisting were completely frightened and surrendered one after another.
In less than two months, the entire Beidi grassland achieved unprecedented and true unification.
All tribes expressed their submission to Dayan, accepted the jurisdiction of Prince Yong, and agreed to be incorporated into the Yanmao trade system.
The army returned triumphantly, and this time, it brought not only victory, but also the submission of the entire grassland and a blueprint for future development.
Standing in the core area that will be planned as a commercial center, looking at the endless fertile land in front of him, Dongfang Yuning leaned on Nangong Ye's arms and planned excitedly:
"Build the largest mutual market here! Settle in over there, divert water, build canals, and teach them how to farm! We also need to build a school to teach the children Yan Guo and arithmetic... Oh, and a hospital! We must build a hospital!"
Nangong Ye hugged her and listened patiently to each of her energetic ideas, with endless indulgence and expectation in his eyes.
"Okay, whatever you say."
The wind from the grassland blows, bringing with it the scent of green grass and hope for the future.
[Ding! Main quest 'Pacifying the Northern Di' completed! Points +5000! Current points... Host is awesome! The commercial district construction quest has begun, please keep up the good work!]
System 118 happily announced the good news.
AI Zero:
[Threat eliminated, area stabilized. Commander, Zero is on standby.]
Dongfang Yuning smiled and held Nangong Ye's hand tightly.
She knew that the real challenge might have just begun, but she was fearless.
Because she has the strongest backing and the most interesting future.
