Chapter 438 Mixed-blood
Chapter 438 Mixed-blood
The Tiezhen people were stripped of their clothes one by one and had their clothes put on the naked bodies of the large slaves.
Then they locked their necks and ankles with chains.
Master Tie's body immediately became hunched over, and he couldn't straighten his back at all.
Lin Feng immediately stood at the city gate, watching the scene.
"Cheng Liang, go tell Zhao Shuo not to let them strip all their clothes, especially the women."
Lin Qiaomei also cursed: "This damn boy, he is playing a prank."
Cheng Liang hurriedly rode his horse over.
Lin Feng’s policy was to lock up and gather the young and middle-aged men of the Tiezhen tribe.
Then people were sent to Yinzhou, Xixia, to dig canals.
The project of digging the canal is too huge. I don’t have the ability to use mechanical equipment, so it all depends on manual labor. No matter how many people are needed, it will not be too much.
Women were sent to the west of the town and registered as untouchables, without any preferential treatment given to commoners.
If anyone is willing to marry her, he can give birth to children for her and carry on the family line.
Their descendants can remove their untouchable status.
Lin Qiaomei didn't understand and asked with a frown.
"Brother, if you bring back some iron-clad women, won't that just mess things up?"
"Why is it such a mess? Zhenxi is short of women right now. Without population, development is too slow."
"But, but what about the baby they gave birth to?"
Lin Feng smiled: "Don't worry, mixed-blood children will be smarter and more beautiful."
Lin Qiaomei was completely confused: "What, mixed-race?"
Lin Feng glanced at Nalan beside him.
He waved his hand and said, "Okay, go and do your thing. You'll know when the time comes."
After saying that, he kicked the horse's belly, ignored the two big white eyeballs behind him, and ran straight into Chengnei.
At this time, Cheng Liang came over and asked, "General, what should we do with the elderly and children?"
"Let the emancipated slaves decide the fate. They will be the residents of this city, and Master Tie will be their slaves from now on."
Lin Feng said coldly.
Wen Jian took his men to find a spacious and bright house and let Lin Feng move in to use it as the command center.
Lin Feng ordered: "Look among these people from the big clan to see if there are any officers with higher ranks in the border army. If there are any, bring them here for questioning."
Among the slaves in the city of Dadur, there was actually a centurion of the border army.
But he didn't know where Song Yi had gone.
However, Lin Feng judged that Song Yi was desperate and ran to the Tatar territory.
There will definitely be no good results from this, this is called walking into a trap.
It was hard for the soldiers who followed him. They became slaves of Master Tie and lived a life worse than death.
Lin Feng put aside other thoughts and looked at the map in front of him.
The next city in the Tatar territory was Baruxisi City, which was five hundred miles away.
Lin Feng sighed that the Tartars' territory was much larger than Zhenxi's.
They are often hundreds or even thousands of miles long, and there is nothing in between except weeds.
There were a thousand Tartar cavalrymen in the city of Dadur, seven or eight hundred of whom were killed, and more than a hundred escaped.
In theory, the noise I made was quite big.
The Tiezhen royal family should all know about this, right?
Lin Feng just wanted the Tiezhen royal family to react, so he stopped moving forward and waited for the enemy's troops.
Next, Lin Feng took a few guards and began to wander around the city of Dadur.
Those border soldiers who were rescued and became masters of their own destiny wore the clothes of Tie Zhenren and held whips in their hands.
Driving his slaves to work.
Any slight negligence will result in a beating.
The naked Iron Masters were beaten so hard that they were covered with scars and blood.
Zhao Shuo followed Lin Feng and clicked his tongue when he saw this scene.
"Brother, you are more cruel than slaughtering a whole city. I admire you."
Lin Feng smiled faintly: "That's nothing. I'll show you something more brutal in a few days."
Zhao Shuo's eyes widened. "Ah? Big brother, how can you be even more cruel?"
"Just watch."
Within the territory of Western Xia.
Twenty thousand Tartar troops invaded Qing County, which was more than 300 miles away from Yinzhou.
The leader of the Tiezhen team was Wanyan Nahe, who was also of royal descent and a golden-armored warrior.
Wanyan Nahe also had two silver-armored men under his command, one named Nuxilie and the other named Peiman.
Twenty thousand cavalrymen surrounded Qing County. Although they did not break into the city, they plundered everywhere outside the county with impunity.
After the 30,000-strong Yinzhou government troops were defeated by them, no more troops appeared.
This made Master Tie even more presumptuous.
The towns and villages in Qing County were devastated by looting.
Li Jiping, the commander of Yinzhou, received a pile of battle reports, but he had no other choice but to ask for help from the court.
He still had 50,000 provincial troops under his command, but he could not send all of them to meet the enemy.
Defending Silver State is the top priority.
Even if the 50,000 provincial troops were divided, they would still not be able to withstand the Tartar cavalry.
Li Jiping anxiously waited for news from the court every day.
He still had a glimmer of hope for Lin Feng.
Because Qing County is not far from Hongqing Lake, only three to five hundred miles away.
If Lin Feng ignored his request for help, the canal construction project in Zhenxi would inevitably be affected by the Tartars.
At this time, Li Jiping was discussing defense measures with Deputy Commander Zhang Enyi.
A soldier came to report that the Tartar cavalry, with nearly 10,000 men, crossed Qing County and continued to advance westward.
The situation instantly became critical.
Li Jiping walked around the room, frowning and thinking hard about how to deal with the situation.
Zhang Enyi was also helpless and lamented.
"Alas, I don't know what Lin Feng is thinking. It's been half a month and there's still no movement."
Li Jiping turned to look at him: "I'm afraid he doesn't want to get involved."
Zhang Enyi said dissatisfiedly: "I heard that Lin Feng has driven the Tartars from Zhenxi out of the country. Why not take advantage of the situation and come over? It's not like we won't pay you."
"Why hasn't there been a reply from the court?"
"The imperial court? My lord, don't count on them too much. They are just a bunch of fat-headed guys. They can't do any real work."
Zhang Enyi said angrily.
Li Jiping was really anxious, rubbing his hands and gritting his teeth.
"Lin Feng, you'd better reach out. There are many good things in Yinzhou. You should be interested in them."
Zhang Enyi quickly asked, "Sir, what benefits did you promise Lin Feng?"
Li Jiping shook his head: "He didn't say anything, but with Lin Feng's wisdom, he will naturally think it through."
"But we don't have to think about it for more than half a month, right?"
Li Jiping also couldn't figure out whether Lin Feng was in charge or not.
"Old Zhang, the intelligence says that Lin Feng broke through the Tartar camp with the help of thunder. What do you think about this?"
Zhang Enyi shook his head: "It's just a rumor. Using thunder from the sky? That would make him a sorcerer."
"But according to intelligence reports, every soldier in the Qingshui Army said the same thing. How could it be false?"
"This...is just a rumor, and the truth cannot be confirmed."
"What if it's true?"
The two looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.
After a while,
"Sir, how about you write another letter explaining our generous reward?"
Li Jiping shook his head and thought for a moment.
"I'm afraid of driving out wolves at the front door and letting in tigers at the back door. The Qingshui Army is much more powerful than the Tartars."
Zhang Enyi nodded and suddenly asked.
"Sir, has Xinyan returned?"
"No, I'm stuck in a border town. It's not safe in Yinzhou right now, so I'll stay in the border town for a while."
Zhang Enyi glanced secretly at Li Jiping.
"Xinyan...did it work?"
