Chapter 566: Chapter 268 Assimilation Conscription _2

Lan Zhaoyun knew that his original plan had basically succeeded.

With the Miao Tribe, the Five Poisons Sect, or the Lan family having the future heir of the Chu State as their grandson, they would have an unshakable position in the Chu State.

After Lu Yuan’s death and Lu He’s ascension, these maternal forces, like today’s Grand General Zhou Qing, Cui, Sun Erxiang, would become the top aristocrats who would control and dictate the future direction of the Chu State. It was just a matter of time.

By then, the Lan family and the Five Poisons Sect would share the same fate as the Coastal Aristocratic Family, enjoying wealth and glory with the Chu State throughout generations.

Even if they had the chance, it wasn’t impossible for them to emulate the electoral system of the Coastal Aristocratic Family and try to become the King of Chu State.

With such a vast future laid before them and a foreseeable future, it would be foolish for Lan Zhaoyun to give up the benefits at hand and go against the real ruler of the Chu State, the terrifying and dauntingly invincible Shenwu King. freēwēbnovel.com

Besides…

With the Miao people’s current population of less than a hundred thousand, how could they resist the relentless assimilation process when facing millions of Chu people, amidst the suppression?

Even if Lu Yuan died now, and Lu He took the stage, Lan Zhaoyun seriously doubted whether this situation could be reversed in the face of such an overwhelming trend.

It’s most likely impossible.

So in the end…

If resistance was futile, they might as well accept it after all.

If they couldn’t resist assimilation, they couldn’t resist it.

As long as the Lan family and the core Miao clans remained, even if only a few hundred or thousand were left, the Miao people would not perish as long as these people still existed.

As for the lower class tribesmen, ignorant and of lowly blood, it wouldn’t matter if they were gone.

The will of the Miao people would be inherited by their noble bloodlines.

Someday, the descendants of their ancestors would become the rulers of Chu State, the kings of Chu.

By then, it would be the time for the Miao people to regain their place in the world.

Well, all of the above were basically the consoling thoughts of Lan Zhaoyun and others after their acceptance of the situation.

How to say it?

The thoughts were good, perfect, and imaginative.

As for whether it can be achieved in the future?

Lu Yuan thought, let them outlive him first.

If they couldn’t outlive him, they might as well take their fantasies with them and be buried with the corpses in the soil, becoming a part of the dust of the world.

But in any case, no matter how Lan Zhaoyun, the Five Poisons Sect, or those high-ranking Miao clans thought about it?

The Miao people in the Dongting region were rapidly being assimilated and absorbed under the influence of Lu Yuan’s three policies, which was an undeniable fact.

Originally with a population of millions, the Miao people have now been reduced to less than a hundred thousand in the Chu State era, after rounds of war and assimilation.

The scale has been reduced by nine-tenths, showing the efficiency and power of these three policies.

Not only the Miao people.

Even in Xichuan County, those six or seven thousand Qiang people left by Li Xiong had vanished without a trace within a few years, completely disappearing from the stage of history.

From then on, the word “Qiang” would most likely only be mentioned when talking about Li Xiong and his group.

The specific race would indeed be impossible to reappear.

Both of these successful examples showed that Lu Yuan’s strategy had been proven effective, and the plan was highly feasible and successful.

So at this time, faced with the Yi people who are similar to the Qiang and the Miao, the same strategy can be applied directly, with slight modifications.

“So in this first step, it’s up to you to eliminate the male population,” Lu Yuan said, his eyes deep and focused on the direction where Li Xiong had left.

It wasn’t easy to get half a county or even a county’s territory from him.

Without making enough contributions and demonstrating enough value, it wouldn’t match the thousands of miles of territory.

Helping Lu Yuan conscript soldiers was Li Xiong’s task to showcase his value.

Lu Yuan himself couldn’t recruit these Yi people, who wouldn’t obey the orders of a foreigner to fight their fellow believers.

Only Li Xiong could help Lu Yuan with this task now.

After all, Li Xiong had almost taken control of the Wuman Kingdom’s court and infiltrated the Nongdong Kingdom, achieving no small success.

With the backing of these two countries, their connections, and their systems, they could continuously recruit enough troops from the local Yi tribes.

Then send them to the front lines to make contributions to the Chu State and exert their strength.

Lu Yuan believed that Li Xiong would not disappoint him.

…

After Li Xiong left, under the temptation of a huge reward, he quickly followed the order to send the fifteen thousand Yi soldiers under his control to the outskirts of the city to be under Lu Yuan’s command.

Lu Yuan didn’t bother too much with these Yi soldiers, who were destined to be used as cannon fodder. He didn’t even change their organization and directly let Li Xiong appoint their original leaders to lead the men to attack the Da Changhe Army Camp in the south of the city.

He only sent ten thousand forbidden troops to serve as the supervisory team, responsible for monitoring and assessing the rebellion of these Yi people.

As for the forbidden troops, many of them said that they were used to this approach.

That was how they had started, pressing down on the local rebels, Miao people, surrendered soldiers, and Village Braves, charging and killing for them in front.
