World of Warcraft: Foreign Realm Domination

Chapter 37: collision of ideas

Views:

In the past few days, the entire Lion King Territory is undergoing intense pre-war preparations. Everyone seems to be a clockwork machine, working non-stop, contributing their own strength to defend the Lion King Territory.

When the Kalu army came to attack last time, the situation was not like this. At that time, no one thought that the Lion King collar could be defended, and every citizen was already mentally prepared to change their masters. That said, changing the owner, doesn't make much of a difference. But no one expected that Xiao Yu would be able to summon orc soldiers and elf soldiers to defeat Kalu's army.

After that battle, Xiao Yu also implemented a series of policies to allow the people in the territory to obtain unprecedented benefits. There is absolutely no better territory policy than this anywhere.

Now, everyone is nostalgic for this kind of social policy that is extremely beneficial to the people, and thinks that this policy can be maintained forever. And if this policy is to be maintained, it must be ensured that Xiao Yu is the lord here, and that the Lion King Land will not be captured by Kalu this time.

Now, Xiao Yu has successfully tied all the people to his own boat.

Now the most relaxing one is Xiao Yu. After Xiao Yu assigns the task, he just wanders around alone every day, looking at the city defense, inspecting the progress of the soldiers in the inspection base, teasing the dancers of the Wave tribe a few times, and taking a peek at some of them. The sister-in-law's graceful body revealed by sweat when she was tired was a joy.

The slaves robbed from Carus have basically divided into two groups. The first group is some passing merchants or civilians from some places who were robbed by Carus, and occasionally some traveling nobles. Criticism is the homeless kind who have been slaves for a long time.

For the first type, Xiao Yu directly issued severance pay and let them go home by themselves. The second is to stay and prepare to give them the status of civilians.

The social system of this world basically belongs to the late stage of slave society, and the embryonic form of feudal society was established. It seems that in the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China, although slaves also existed, most of them have been converted into civilians. Only a few ethnic groups, Still can't get rid of the status of slaves. The whole society is in a transition period.

For example, the Black Iron Race is a race that is considered to be slaves forever.

This time, more than half of the male slaves that Xiao Yu obtained from Carus were from the Black Iron clan. These slaves from the Black Iron clan were very tall and strong, and some of them were not inferior to orcs. They were all slaves taken from the Karum region in the far south.

The Black Iron tribe still belonged to that very primitive tribal race, and their ideology and civilization were very backward, but they were very strong and hardworking, so they became the best race for hard labor slaves.

Every year, a large number of adventurers go deep into Karum, to recruit these slaves, let them do the hardest and most tiring work, and don't give them enough food. Many slaves of the Black Iron tribe can hardly live to be twenty-five years old just die.

Xiao Yu originally wanted to give them the status of commoners, but he encountered two difficulties. First, these Black Iron people have no ideas of their own. After being enslaved for a long time, they feel that they are born slaves. Give them freedom. Instead, they don't know how to survive. On the second aspect, the old housekeeper Xiao Hong strongly opposed to granting such powers to the common people of the Black Iron tribe. The old butler has been loyal to Xiao's family all his life, and he is good at everything, but his thinking is very old-fashioned. He can't stand Xiao Yu's new thinking. Because of Xiao Yu's tax policies and the high treatment given to common people, Xiao Yu had conflicts with him several times before. If it wasn't for the fact that the current territory is too weak, Xiao Hong would definitely not agree with Xiao Yu's tax exemption policy and the high treatment given to soldiers who died in battle. In this world, only nobles who died in battle are eligible to be left behind. The name will last forever.

The old and weak women and children captured from Tong Guan last time, although there were traces of robbers, many of them were former commoners, not slaves, so Xiao Yu gave them the power of commoners. Although the old housekeeper was a little dissatisfied, he did not say what.

Although Xiao Yu had promised to give them the rights of common people for those women of the Bolan tribe, the old steward still insisted that the women of the Bolan tribe were dancers, how could they become commoners of the Lion King? lead into a joke.

Xiao Yu gave orders several times, but the old housekeeper Xiao Hong only thought that Xiao Yu had a problem with his head, so he directly allocated these women from the Bolan tribe to several young wives as slaves, and did not treat them like slaves anymore, but also They are not completely given freedom to make them real civilians.

Xiao Yu saw that the women of the Bolan tribe had no worries about food and clothing, and didn't have any dissatisfaction. Instead, they were very happy, so they didn't bother to care about it. His sister-in-laws are not mean, and they won't treat these Bolan women too badly.

This time these people were handed over to the old housekeeper. Xiao Hong divided the civilians and merchants who were captured by the robbers, and agreed with Xiao Yu's approach, giving them freedom and letting them go home by themselves.

In this world, if a noble rescues some civilians from robbers, he actually has the right to enjoy the personal rights of these civilians, and can regard these people as slaves. If the family members of these people want to take these people away, they need to pay a certain amount of money to redeem them.

But as a noble nobleman, rescuing some civilians who were taken away by robbers and then letting them go free of charge is also regarded as a noble character.

Therefore, in order to improve Xiao Yu's reputation, the old housekeeper also agreed to release these civilians and merchants free of charge.

As for the slaves of the Black Iron Clan, and some comfort women who had already been slaves, the old housekeeper refused to give them the status of commoners, and even threatened them with death.

The old butler had been loyal for so many years, and seeing that the old butler was about to risk his life, Xiao Yu could only give in. What the old housekeeper did was to maintain the dignity and status of a noble lord of a territory. In fact, it was also for Xiao Yu's sake, but his thoughts were too different from Xiao Yu's.

The thinking of Xiao Yu's era was very different from this era.

In the end, Xiao Yu could only ask the old housekeeper to provide food and clothing for the slaves of the Black Iron tribe, so that they would no longer be starved of food and clothing. As for those female slaves who are like comfort women, Xiao Yu strictly prohibits anyone from sexually assaulting them, and only allows them to do some simple labor in the territory, and gives them enough necessities for food, clothing, housing and transportation. If there is any violation, they will be severely punished .

In fact, there are many such comfort women like slaves in any noble family, and they are all regarded as private pets of the nobles, and they are shown off to others like commodities, and even shared with others.

And there was a period of time when nobles who owned elf female slaves were known as a symbol of identity and status.

When Xiao Yu saw these female slaves being enslaved in Carus' cottage at the beginning, he was filled with righteous indignation, just because he was a person of that era, and seeing this kind of behavior of insulting and trampling women at will was unacceptable. In fact, in this world, this kind of thing is not a big deal, it is a normal phenomenon.

Xiao Yu could only sigh in the end, feeling a sense of sadness for their fate. His own strength is limited, and it is impossible to completely change this situation.

If slavery is really completely abolished and this society enters a relatively better feudal society, it may be extremely difficult.

Don't forget the huge shocks and bloodshed caused by those periods of system change in history. This kind of thinking change cannot be achieved by his own strength.

Unless...unless he really unified the world, became the king of this era, and then slowly changed through some systems.

Although Xiao Hong and other conservatives tried their best to obstruct him, Xiao Yu still used the elf gods and beast gods to ask him to implement the policy of equality for all beings as an excuse, and gradually let this world enter a feudal society according to the thinking of the previous world.

It would be impossible for them to enter relatively democratic capitalism or socialism all at once, and they themselves would not be able to accept it.

Xiao Yu also thought about using Shang Yang's method in the future, but now it seems that the resistance is not small.

No wonder Shang Yang was torn apart by a car back then, now Xiao Yu really experienced that difficulty. However, sooner or later, Xiao Yu will implement Shang Yang's reform.

Because as a person of that era, he knew too well that it was absolutely impossible to dominate the world just by relying on these Warcraft soldiers. If you want to truly become the king of this era, you must fundamentally make all the people obey you, and make people in this world willing to fight for you, so that you can become as strong as the Qin Dynasty.

This era is similar to the era when the Qin Dynasty rose. Shang Yang's policy can be said to be just right. If such a good thing is not used, Xiao Yu will be an idiot. The huge changes in Qin after Shang Yang's reform back then can be seen by the blind owned. Qin State was able to unify the six countries, and Shang Yang's reforms played an 80% role. Relatively speaking, Qin Shihuang's talents only accounted for 20%.

As long as Xiao Yu lays a certain foundation here and slowly implements Shang Yang's measures, it is not impossible to really become the king of this world and unify the world like Qin Shihuang.

However, this has to be done step by step, and it cannot be done in one step, otherwise, even if he is the lord, he will face huge difficulties.

The black iron man's slaves had enough food and warm clothes at Xiao Yu's place, and they were full of energy. Now they are all working hard to transport stones to the top of the city.

They are big and have a surprisingly large appetite. Since becoming slaves, they have never been full. In other words, they have never had enough to eat since they were born, because the productivity of their previous tribes was extremely low, and it was not easy to get enough to eat.

Xiao Yu has enough food and enough clothes to wear here, making them feel like they are in heaven.

It was Xiao Yu's order to transport stones to the top of the city. With a powerful device like a trebuchet, there must be sufficient ammunition.

A few days ago, Xiao Yu tested the power of the orc catapult, and it could launch stones weighing 500 jin at once, with a range of about 300 meters.

If it is a stone of two hundred catties, the range can reach six to seven hundred meters.

This is only on flat ground. If it is on a tall city wall, five hundred catties of stones can also be hit for a distance of seven to eight hundred meters. Xiao Yu was extremely satisfied with such a distance and such firepower, so it was natural to make preparations for the ammunition.

Looking at the hot scene at the top of the city, Xiao Yu squinted his eyes and murmured: "Karu, come on, use the blood of your troops to achieve my glory."
