In Da Changhe Country, conscripting foreign soldiers was an idea that came to Lu Yuan after experiencing many brutal battles.
In hindsight, this was merely a well-worn tactic.
When he had first started, during the suppression of the Seven Stars Sect Rebellion, he had used surrendered rebels to attack the city.
At that time, he saved a large amount of his own troops' lives while solving the issue of local security threats by consuming those surrendered soldiers.
So later, during the pacification of the Miao people, Lu Yuan continued to apply and enhance this strategy.
According to incomplete statistics, during the pacification of the Miao people, over 40,000 Miao soldiers contributed greatly to the suppression of the Five Poisons Sect Rebellion with their lives.
Later, during the Northern Expedition, a similar situation played out in Xichuan County.
