Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 252 Governor’s Office

Even if the morale of Ji Zao's soldiers increases when the casualties increase, compared to the mortal Anchovy soldiers, Ji Zao's Yi soldiers are much more heroic.

This can be regarded as the special attribute of Ji Zaoyi soldiers. Just like Danyang elite soldiers, even if they have little daily training and combat experience, they are still very brave and unlike ordinary recruits.

Moreover, the individual strength of Ji Zao Yi soldiers is obviously stronger than that of ordinary Yi soldiers - equivalent to a skilled Yi soldier with peak physical strength and experience.

When facing ordinary tribes, even the barbarian soldiers who looked "shoddy" to Gan Ning could win every battle.

Before encountering the Yellow Tribe, Gan Ning only brought more than a thousand land and naval forces behind to suppress the formation, and several tribes had already surrendered to the Kaihua Tribe. The way of surrender... was still so familiar.

Gan Ning's brocade robe obviously did not [-]% enable the girl he offered to become a city princess, but needed the right time, location, and people. For these tribes that surrendered, Gan Ning merged them into the Ministry of Civilization.

It is difficult for fishing and hunting tribes to form too large a tribe because "supporting" a tribesman through fishing and hunting requires much more land and resources than farming. If too many people gather, they will need more territory, or in other words, a collection area. So big that they must live separately!

But now Gan Ning wants to transform the Dongbo people into a farming society, so that it is easier to manage and help them to be civilized. This is also Bai Tu's will.

With the rapid expansion, the Kaikai Ministry soon came into contact with the overlord of the West Coast, the Yellowjackets. The Yellowjackets were also wary of the Kaikaibu, which was rapidly expanding, suspected of possessing Yi Ji, and even changed its name.

Originally, the Yellow Tribe was obviously stronger. Although it continued to annex small tribes, the Kaihua Ministry had more manpower and trained more Ji Zaoyi soldiers, but the size of the Yellow Tribe was here, and there were more The beast-faced warrior is obviously stronger in terms of force alone.

What's more, Kaihua Ji doesn't have the ability to "scream and inspire" like Yi Ji, so she can't directly help the battle. This also further increases the strength of the two sides.

If Gan Ning had not stepped up the battle, the Ministry of Civilization would have had the opportunity to shrink and develop first, using Ji to build barbarian soldiers to protect itself, and the people to farm to obtain more food than to collect, and to raise a larger population... After one or two generations, Even if Yakibe is determined to eliminate him, he will easily be crushed to death by the Kaibu. After three or five generations, as the demand for land increases due to population expansion, the Kaibu will be able to take the initiative to crush Yakibe!

And now...

For the Ministry of Civilization in the period of agricultural transformation, there is no need to start a war. After all, farming civilization... the land they grab is used to plant their own crops, and the land currently occupied by the Ministry of Civilization is actually quite abundant!

Then why take the initiative to fight?

Just because Gan Ning is there to support the troops, the Ministry of Civilization can expand boldly with confidence...

It doesn't matter if he can't defeat the Yellow Tribe. Gan Ning can lead a charge with his men and defeat the Yellow Tribe soldiers several times his own!
As a large tribe with Yi Ji, the method of surrender is somewhat different from that of ordinary tribes. The person who replaces the "girl" is Yi Ji herself - and only when Yi Ji decides to surrender, such a large tribe will surrender. .

The surrender of a large tribe is not essentially a sacrifice of food and women, but... the whole being "enslaved".

Normally, the victor would directly "claim" Yi Ji at this time, and with control of Yi Ji, the corresponding Dongyu tribe would naturally be merged into the victor.

Afterwards, soldiers and warriors may be able to join normally, but other old people and women will be no different from slaves.

What is different from other surrendering girls is that Yi Ji is only dressed in cool clothes instead of being naked...

And what is different from the general situation is that the person who stepped forward to accept Yi Ji's surrender at this time was not someone from the Ministry of Kaihua, nor Gan Ning, but... Kaihua Ji herself!

I saw Kaihua Ji walking up to Yi Yi Ji, and then... taking off the mask on the other person's face, revealing a face that was contrary to the mask and not too ferocious.

Then a large number of ordinary warriors of the Yellow Tribe lost the fighting power originally blessed by Yi Ji.

At first, the Yellow Tribe thought that the Kaihua Ministry was going to kill them all or completely enslave them, so they broke out into a shrill noise, but...then Kaihua Ji and the Kaihua Ministry's envoy came forward to talk to the leader of the Yellow Tribe, and dispelled the idea. Their doubts!
It's not that the Kaihua Ministry has "cancelled" their power blessed by Yi Ji, but that from now on, the Yellow Tribe will also be merged into the Kaihua Ministry. Like them, the military and civilians will be divided, and all people will no longer be soldiers.

In fact, after ordinary young men are inspired to become anchovy warriors, their appetite will increase, which is much larger than that of warriors who normally increase their appetite due to training. After this is cancelled, the pressure on food will also be reduced.

And after Kaihua Ji took off Yu Ji's mask, the latter's abilities also began to move closer to Cheng Ji...

In addition to the Yellow Lady, Gan Ning also led the Kaihua tribe all the way eastward in more than three months, annexing the Lie tribe in the western plains, and taking advantage of the sea ships, he went directly around to the east coast. He vomited up the owl (xiao) part again!

The area of ​​Yizhou is only a larger county. The reason why it took three months is because the Dongbo people have no idea of ​​building roads. The roads are all "walked", so the marching speed is relatively slow. Going to the east coast was thanks to Gan Ning Chuan Duo.

Otherwise, for a county with a complete official system, three months is enough for Gan Ning to slip around...

But now, after three large tribes were wiped out in three months, Gan Ning occupied the entire central part of Yizhou. Facing the hills in the north and the mountains in the south, Gan Ning did not act rashly.

In terms of fighting with real swords and guns, Gan Ning's army with strong armor and sharp blades is worthy of any Donghao tribe. Facing this tribe that still has stone weapons that have not been eliminated, there is no challenge at all. No matter how many times the number of people is, it will be useless... …

Gan Ning was even a little worried that after he got used to fighting these guys, he would not even fight when he returned to the Central Plains!
However, in complex terrain such as high mountains, miasma poisonous insects, sneak attacks and poisoning... just dealing with nature will cause losses to Gan Ning's side.

Moreover, after successively annexing nearly [-] Oriental Aborigines, the relief food brought by Gan Ning was already running low, so he chose to come back first.

As long as you are familiar with this sea route, it is actually not that far away. Even counting from Wu Jun's departure to the sea, three months is enough for a round trip, and there is even room for further compression.

Counting the Yi Ji of the Owl and Hui tribes, and the Kaihua Ji in Yizhou, there are a total of three subordinate Yi Ji. Gan Ning used his authority as the Grand Governor to first establish Yizhou as the Dongyi Governor's Department to promote Kaihua. Ji is Governor Ji, and the three Yi Ji who show signs of sinicization are governor Ji under Governor Ji.

In fact, it corresponds to the "Prefecture Governor", Zhou Ji and Jun Ji, but compared with a state, the area of ​​​​Yizhou is much smaller, not to mention that the population is only at the county level...

Moreover, even if Gan Ning was the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, he did not have the power to set up a state governor-general's department. At the same time, if a county was established, it would be too isolated and inconvenient to manage if it was merged into the Yangzhou department, so he set up a governor-general's department in a clever way.

Compared with the "Capital Protectorate", the "Governor-General's Office" has greater authority. It directly governs the area, not just "supervises".

But this time Gan Ning brought back only Yi Ji, whom he named "Kai Hua Ji". He wanted her to meet Bai Tu first, and also to "network" with other Cheng Ji in the General's Mansion.

Yizhou is also building its first city. When "Kaihua Ji" returns, she will have her own city. Then she can see if she can become a real Cheng Ji.

As for the remaining three... because they are all nominally subordinates of Kaihua Ji, after Kaihua Ji "connects to the Internet", they should also be able to "use the Internet".

Of course, even if the Internet is connected, it is only convenient for internal private chats between "Cheng Ji". If you really want to transmit information and intelligence, across the sea... you can imagine how slow the "signal" is!

But even so, Gan Ning's harvest in the past six months has far exceeded Bai Tu's expectations.

Mainly because of the appearance of Kaihua Ji, Gan Ning's efficiency in Kaihua people was greatly improved, which Bai Tu had not dared to think of before.

It can be said that if Kaihua Ji had not appeared, Gan Ning would probably have only used force to frighten the west coast, and gradually explored the island, and he would have been wary of the frightened Dongbo people rebelling at all times...

Bai Tu also supported Gan Ning's establishment of the Governor-General of Yizhou. Later, he would follow Gan Ning's idea and appoint the Governor of Yizhou from the General's Office.

As for the choice of governor, Bai Tu really had a headache.

First of all, as a governor, you must be able to act alone!
Gan Ning was more than enough to be the governor, but... for the sake of Yizhou, would he slow down Gan Ning's progress?It’s a shame just thinking about it…

After that, Gan Ning will protect the governor of Yizhou for one more voyage at most, and then he will start a new journey - the "Yangzhou-Liaodong" waterway!
Not to mention that there will be Danzhou in the direction of sunrise, Nanyang Islands to the southwest of Yizhou, and... the legendary Golden State where sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn can be obtained.

Gan Ning was limited, and the navy's mission was unlimited. How could it be possible to keep Gan Ning in Yizhou?
Similarly, important staff such as Lu Su should not be lazy, and Lu Kang, Zhang Zhao... with today's medical and navigation conditions, those over 40 years old should not bother!
And...there is also the issue of "selfishness" to consider.

Bai Tu is not that afraid that the Governor of Yizhou will rise up to separatist power. Judging from the current development path, the warships and sea-going ship technology of the General's Mansion will only become stronger and stronger.

What's more, under the agricultural civilization, the island can be divided because it can be self-sufficient, but... Bai Tu is now promoting the development of industrial civilization. No matter how far it can be pushed, Yizhou will be positioned as a shipyard and relay station in the future!

A small farming island can be self-sufficient, but a super shipyard and relay station require "imported" supplies, and there is no basis for separatist rule.

Bai Tu's "selfish" concern was that the governor's policy toward the natives would go astray. After all, there had been previous examples of Dongbei people landing in Kuaiji for trade but becoming slaves.

In the name of "Hua-Yi Debate" and in reality "right-wing interests", after the true situation in Yizhou spreads, I am afraid that some people will be impatient to use it as a hunting place...

　Dongdong: Lan Shou... I've had diarrhea for a day. If it weren't for the recommendation, I would really want to puke T_T
