Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Chapter 548 The system of Rakshasa barbarians

"This is information from Li Yunlong, what do you think?"

At this time, in the Guiyi Brigade's station, Lin Shi and others looked serious.

"An army of one hundred thousand? How is this possible?"

Li Yunlong's report estimated that the enemy had an army of [-], which was naturally based on the Han army's method. This calculation method made everyone in the Guiyi Brigade frown.

It's not that they don't believe it, it's just too scary. What is the concept of a hundred thousand troops? Since ancient times, those who can command them smoothly are not ordinary people. It can be said that there are only a few of them.

Now it is suddenly said that the Rakshasa barbarians have assembled a hundred thousand troops to target them. Isn't this a joke?

You must know that Lin Shi and the others came out early, and it can be said that they have basically never participated in any decent battles. Some generals said so.

"Jiujiu, General, we should pay attention. You must know that our Central Committee has never fought or even faced so many enemies."

"Even if the [-]th Infantry Brigade and the [-]th Infantry Brigade fought with the Jiangnan Camp in the spring of this year, the combined troops invested by both sides would not be more than [-]."

"But this Rakshasa is quite different. They have been at war, and that viscount is the governor of the country. He may have the experience of leading an army of [-] in battle. We must guard against it!"

Everyone was silent after looking at the information, but someone soon spoke.

"I think Li Yunlong's information is correct. You must know that there are three standing armies of Rakshasa barbarians. I think everyone knows what this so-called standing army is, so there are 6 people. If we add other so-called standing armies It is not impossible for the army led by the noble lords to exceed one hundred thousand."

"After all, the three cities of Rakshasa Man are not the kind of counties set up by Daqian."

At this point, everyone was silent. You must know that the so-called five states in Northern Xinjiang were actually divided into three southeastern provinces by the Rakshasa barbarians, and these three provinces not only included the five states in Northern Xinjiang, they There is also a larger area.

Therefore, among these three provinces, the largest province can exceed the territory of two states. Even the smallest province where they are located occupies one and a half states in Northern Xinjiang.

The land of three cities is comparable to the five to six counties of Daqian. This province only has eight cities.

It can be said that this Rakshasa Barbarian mobilized almost half of the province's strength to deal with them, and the effort was not small.

Not only that, because the Rakshasa Barbarians are constantly fighting, their system is also very interesting.

For example, in the place they call a county in Daqian, they call it a city, but the area managed by this city has become much smaller.

There are dozens of cities in a city, and there are no more than ten cities in a province.

Moreover, the system of Rakshasa barbarians is also very interesting. For example, a city is a fief of a baron, but most of the cities belong to the state. They are not the fief of anyone, but are governed by officials dispatched by the state.

And this also gave rise to a magical household registration system.

For example, nobles, people, slaves.

Needless to say, nobility, as long as they are knighted, they are considered nobility, but civilians and slaves are different.

For example, those below knights are free people. These people belong to the country and can engage in various industries such as farming, craftsmen, merchants, etc., or they can also serve as officials, but such people must pay taxes.

Under the free people are the conquered people in various places. These people have certain local autonomy and only need to pay certain taxes on time. Other countries will not interfere with you.

However, this sounds nice, but in fact, these people do not have much autonomy at all, because there are urban management above, and the officials in the city are held by free people or nobles.

It can be said that these conquered people seem to have autonomy, but this is indeed based on the country, city, and nobles not wanting to care about them, and their channels for advancement are blocked.

Therefore, this kind of people, called indigenous people, can only show off their power in their villages or towns.

After that, there are slaves. The slaves here are not slaves, but slaves. They are slaves in the true sense and are the private property of the master.

Slaves are not available to anyone who wants them, for example, free people do not have them.

Therefore, anyone who can have slaves must at least be a knight noble.

Because these slaves were the private property of the nobles, they might not even be as good as animals. The serf soldiers formed during wars were actually used to escort grain, grass and military supplies, and then used as cannon fodder.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, the status of slaves is the lowest.

However, I have to make a point here, that is, don’t look at the apparently high status of the indigenous people, but although the indigenous people are high, their actual status is not as good as that of a slave.

You must know that the Rakshasa barbarians' delegation of power to the indigenous people is not a real delegation of power, but a delegation of power as a last resort due to insufficient numbers of people.

Therefore, in many occupied places, the tax system was a tax package system, which was used to stabilize local leaders and hide behind the scenes to oppress and weaken the people.

In short, this city's annual tax revenue should be [-] silver coins, and then collected from you indigenous leaders. It doesn't matter how much you can collect, but these [-] silver coins must be paid in full.

If the leader oppresses the people too much and takes [-] silver coins, the Rakshasa barbarian will not care. You only need to pay [-] silver coins.

But if you don't collect enough, then you will be taken advantage of. Generally speaking, your leader and his whole family will be arrested and sold. If it is not enough, other people will be arrested and sold.

These people were miserable. The strong ones were sold as slaves, and the beautiful women were bought as prostitutes. In short, they must be useful.

Therefore, in order to protect themselves, these indigenous leaders will desperately oppress their own people.

However, none of this has anything to do with Rakshasa Man.

In addition, for the sake of stability, the Rakshasa barbarians confiscated weapons and the like under various names, leaving local indigenous people with basically no iron or metal things in their homes, including farm tools such as hoes.

For a time, the lives of these indigenous people were directly thrown back to the Stone Age.

It can be said that today in the five continents of Northern Xinjiang, in many Dagan villages under the rule of Rakshasa barbarians, the only iron tools they have are kitchen knives, and they are the kind of one or two kitchen knives shared by a village.

Life can be said to be pitiful.

So in order to ease the conflict and give these people some hope, Rakshasa Man opened two more holes.

For example, let's say you sell yourself into slavery and become a slave of a certain noble.

Of course, the premise is that the noble family accepts it!

Generally speaking, as long as they are nobles with serious inheritance, they don't want slaves like this.

And if those emerging nobles lack manpower, they will generally buy already trained slaves from the slave market. Only those who have no money will want such slaves who come to their homes.

Moreover, once you are a slave, it is as deep as the sea. It is impossible for you to ask for a wife. You can only wait for the master's designation.

If the slave population increases, you cannot give birth to slaves. The way to prevent it is simple, that is, males and females are forcibly separated.

If the slave population decreases, you have to have more slaves and try to have as many small slaves as possible. The method is also simple, which is to drive the males and females together.

But here, there are also many people who want to become slaves of noble lords.

Not for anything else, because slaves also have the opportunity to be promoted. Even if they are promoted under the hands of a noble master, it is still promotion.

Therefore, if you want to become a slave, there is no way out.

Therefore, Rakshasa barbarians have another way, which is a standing army.

To put it simply, if you, an indigenous citizen, join the standing army and serve for eight years, you can obtain the status of a free citizen, and then use this to protect your family.

If you unfortunately die in battle, your eldest son will be granted freeman status and can also protect your family.

Moreover, in a standing army, you will be well fed, warmly clothed, fully equipped with armor and weapons, and rigorously trained.

And your role is only one, to fight and then die!

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the standing army is really strong. Under certain circumstances, they dare to use infantry to challenge the cavalry, and then fight to the death without retreating. They will also attack the city and pull out the stronghold at the first order, and advance one after another.

With this kind of army, if you don't knock out their spirit, blind them, and leave them with only the instinct to escape, then you will fall into a bitter battle and be dragged to death.
