I am not sure I caught this. Why can't Wudu people hide among the villagers? Because it puts the populace at risk? Or because they are of different ethnicity than the local populace, and it would never work? Or the populace being not Han makes it easier to issue an Exterminatus on the area? Or is it because the local Han would give them away?treave said:“You could scatter amongst the villages, hide yourselves there… no, that might not work.” You catch your mistake quickly. As far as you know, Shun had come here to exterminate the Wudu Cult.
That meant only one thing – if the Wudu members hid amongst the people, the Tang army would operate on the assumption that the villagers were harbouring enemies to the throne.
They would launch a real campaign of extermination. Pulling back on your oft-forgotten knowledge of politics, you manage to remember some important facts, and realize that this would be easybecause it was Guizhou. The local population in this particular region of Guizhou was largely Miao, and there had always been proposals for settlement of the area with actual Han bandied about amongst the officials.
What exactly are the ramifications of this line?there had always been proposals for settlement of the area with actual Han bandied about amongst the officials.
We don't have much to tell the prince, except that we are here, so I'd rather not go to him first.
