Chapter 1199: Human Races

"Definitely not, brother, I'll save it for you."

The Soldier who wanted to eat hot elephant blood immediately found Shaoyin and explained his idea. Shaoyin didn't think much about it and agreed directly; indeed, Huaxia had the custom of eating blood, and it was slippery and tender, which he also liked.

"Fine, go quickly and return quickly, then bring some people back, and bring back a few carts to haul the meat.

By the way, take these with you, tell the Marshal, you know what to say, right?"

The Soldier nodded: "I understand, Regimental Commander, we are all brothers, I will certainly tell the truth. However, shouldn't you be the one to tell the Marshal? After all, there is that relationship between you."

If someone had said this in the past, Shaoyin would have been angry, because it would mean he was relying on his father, but now it is different; he has already proven himself through his own ability and sufficient military merit.

His position on the front line has also risen to Regimental Commander, and no one has any objections to this at all, because everyone has seen Shaoyin's ability, and everyone believes that Shaoyin will definitely be able to become a General at the very least in the future, and Marshal is also possible; his ability is right there.

Shaoyin is no longer anxious. In one year, he has already achieved such battle results, and next year will only be better. When this war with the Shennong Clan ends, he will probably be able to reach the position of General, or if smaller, Division Commander is definitely no problem.

Nobility will also certainly be earned, even if his title is lower than the one his father will pass on to him, but he would rather inherit his own title, and see if his father's title can be given to his younger brother; this should be no problem.

Shaoyin already has an imagination for his bright future. Of course, all the Soldiers who returned alive this year have such thoughts. Their military merits have all been recorded, and when they go back, they will be rewarded according to their merits; just the grain and Cloth alone will be a significant share.

There is also a long enough vacation. Like those who have been fighting for a year, and others who have gone out to perform missions for a year, after returning, there is no need for combat readiness in the Winter; they can just lie down at home.

Only those Soldiers who have stayed in Huaxia City need to remain on duty during the Winter, because they don't have to suffer much when they are in Huaxia City, and they have regular leave to go home and see their families, and they can have children, which the others cannot.

However, some of these people might not participate in the war next year and will stay in Huaxia City. They have no choice in this; it depends entirely on how the superiors arrange it.

But according to the previous statement, it is certain that some new recruits will be arranged for next year. In the Autumn of this year, many new recruits must have already been trained, and there must have been an expansion.

The situation of lacking Huaxia Soldiers will certainly be alleviated to a certain extent, and the situation where there is no one to guard the home will not happen; the defensive strength of Huaxia City is seriously insufficient.

Moreover, from the very beginning, the soldiers trained by Huaxia were mainly to guard Huaxia City, and then a portion of the extra Soldiers could perform missions outside; there was no preparation for participating in such large-scale wars.

Mainly, even for Huaxia, it is very stressful to support such a large-scale army. The part that eats the most is also the part that consumes the most in all aspects, and at the same time, they do not produce any labor results, so it is basically a net expenditure. General tribes cannot have professional armies.

Baifeng has already thought about it. In the next few years, Huaxia will definitely carry out large-scale conscription and then cultivate the army, at least increasing the number of the army to about ten thousand. Among these ten thousand, two thousand can be elites who can wear Iron Armor, and the remaining four or five thousand can be soldiers who can use Leather Armor.

Finally, a few thousand of various other types of troops will form a large Huaxia Legion to face the wars of this era. The Battle of Zhuolu was only twenty or thirty thousand people.

As long as Baifeng has no intention of conquering the Central Plains and unifying the Heaven and Kingdom, the many Soldiers he has trained are enough to achieve his goals.

Guarding his eastern territory and guarding against the aggression of Xuanyuan is enough. Then, if he expands to the west, it will be fighting with some savages who are almost uncivilized. They probably don't even know what Bronze is; dealing with them is basically a clean sweep.

And for the people in those regions, Baifeng will certainly not hesitate to implement a thorough Slave system and strictly restrict intermarriage and reproduction.

As for completely different races, Baifeng will not have any psychological pressure at all; it is mainly because Baifeng also knows what those races are like, and it can even be said that there is already enmity.

The emergence of a clan system is inevitable. Baifeng can also casually create a racial hierarchy. Those who come from the same tribe and whose ancestors are all Suirenshi are of course the first class and will not engage in those lowly jobs.

Lowly races find it difficult to escape the status of Slave. Even if a dragon among men appears among them, who is smart enough, at most they will only escape the status of Slave, but they cannot obtain enough power. Furthermore, no matter how high the status, they cannot intermarry; this must be kept in mind.

Intermarriage and reproduction between different races have great drawbacks to begin with. Tigers and lions can reproduce, and the beasts born are larger and more ferocious, but their lifespans are shorter, their survival ability in the wild is worse, and they may even lose their reproductive ability, just like mules.

Mixed-race children look beautiful, incredibly good-looking, but that is because only the good-looking ones are seen; most are very unattractive, and that is only the first generation.

By the second and third generations, the drawbacks will appear; they will become uglier and stupider, and genetic diseases will also appear. They are all humans, but after all, the gap between races is relatively large, and the risks of cross-racial reproduction are relatively high.

In later generations, there seemed to be many ethnic groups, and even when statistics were taken at the beginning of the founding of the country, more than two hundred ethnic groups were counted at once, but for better management, they were merged into fifty-six, and there was also a portion of "others".

Among them, ethnic groups like the Zhuang are completely indistinguishable from the Han, and some traditions are even more orthodox and ancient than the Han.

The difference between the ethnic groups in the Southwest region and the Han is not that big; it is just because the region is relatively remote and has had little communication with the outside world, so they have gradually developed their own more unique cultural beliefs. In terms of bloodline, they are very close to the Han, and they are originally from the same ancestor.
