Chapter 671 The Huns' Miscellaneous Army
The work Qian Rujun is doing now is snowballing.
Every time the Hun troops attacked and brought people back, Qian Rujun used a day to release them.
At the beginning, the Huns still had time to rest, but gradually, after two or three times, Qian Rujun no longer gave the Huns time to rest.
As long as there were twenty or thirty Huns, she did not dare to let them go on the adventure.
But when there were more than 100 people, Qian Rujun would let them rest for one night at most.
Later, their benefits were also increased. The sheepskin and cowhide brought were made into jerky, and a lot of fur was made into cloth by nitrate, and Qian Rujun not only made some tents, but also rewarded some hard-working Hun clothing.
Qian Rujun knows that the process of going out is a process of removing the chaff and reserving the essence. The people who need to be preserved the most are, of course, the elites of the battlefield.
With soft clothing, in the cold of the winter, they have more than three times their combat power.
The Huns' armed forces were all on horses, so Qian Rujun did not confiscate their horses, but gave each of them a horse.
When the first 100 people were released, 70 or 80 people were injured.
The remaining twenty or thirty men brought back the captives they had gathered.
Although there are few people who come back, the harvest is abundant. After all, it was the first time to attack, and these herdsmen outside were basically defenseless, and winter had just arrived. Cattle and sheep have not yet made it through the winter.
It was transported to the baggage camp, and the big ones became spiced jerky, and the small ones were let the little Huns continue to be raised. But instead of letting them run around, he ate the alfalfa and hay that Qian Rujun planted.
To the arrival of these strange Hun bandits, the reaction of the herdsmen of the steppe was immediate.
They were accustomed to the steppe rushing with the enemy. People who do not live in a tribe must always be prepared to become enemies.
Hearing that the Han army's horses were coming, the originally scattered Huns all found partners nearby, or twenty or thirty or thirty or forty people, and even a team of one or two thousand people.
In the face of a team of more than a thousand people, this is already tantamount to starting a war.
However, at this time, Qian Rujun already had more than 4,000 people, and he quickly defeated the other party, and the other party surrendered.
Because this team, it doesn't look like a tribal person, they see life in it.
The goods brought back were considerable, and even brought back many Han people who had become slaves of the Xiongnu.
There are still many differences between the appearance of the Han people and these nomads.
It can be seen that this group of Huns has been entangled recently. But the land is too vast. The frequency of Qian Rujun's attacks is also too high.
Even though the Huns are now growing up and fattening, the supply capacity of the steppe is gradually insufficient for the supply of the Huns. Such a vast grassland still seems sparsely populated.
In the eyes of the Huns, nomadism was the right way, and grazing would shrink the pastures.
But Qian Rujun felt that there should be two or three million Huns hidden in this land, but some of them were hiding in the corners and had not been discovered, nor had they been counted in population.
In this day and age, it's simply hard to be precise about demographics.
It is also difficult to determine how many free people are in his land who are free from his control.
Of course, the land that Qian Rujun thinks does not refer to the grassland north of the Han Dynasty, nor the grassland below Beihai, which is too small.
Qian Rujun pointed out that this steppe, which has been connected to Central Asia and even Europe, should have a population of two or three million.
Even for this dry land, two or three million people are still too few.
Today, the Hun troops have attacked more than two dozen times. Bringing back a lot of food, Qian Rujun did not occupy all the food, but kept one-third of it as their food.
From the very beginning, I was able to bring back one or two hundred people who were injured seventy or eighty percent.
Now they were able to damage one or two percent of the people and bring back the perished tribes, leaving all the people, and most of them, unharmed, especially more young men and women.
Today, the Xiongnu army owned by Qian Rujun, if you don't count those children and women, there are nearly 5,000 men alone.
As for the horses and sheep that were gathered, there were more than thirty thousand.
If this is placed in Chang'an, it will be a great wealth.
Moreover, the horses ridden by the Huns were also considered her property.
A month has passed, and it is time for the emperor and Qian Rujun to agree on a meeting.
Because the food brought by the emperor was only enough for them to eat for a month, and when the month came, there was no food supply, and they had to turn into steppe bandits.
This may not be very acceptable to Emperor Liu Heng.
Confucianism has not yet entered the emperor's thinking, and I don't know what the reaction of the emperor Liu Heng will be to be a grassland bandit.
But isn't it a thief to trespass into someone else's place?
When the time to return to the field is up, at least the emperor will let her take her to the next station, the new station, it is estimated that the neighborhood will be relatively unsafe, and her Hun army will be able to expand its numbers again.
Even if the emperor came back uninvited, at least he would have people come back and bring Qian Rujun to the new garrison to set up camp.
Therefore, Qian Rujun must be ready and move to a new place.
For Qian Rujun, moving places is a very troublesome thing. But for Qian Rujun, this is another good thing.
In the last one or two Hun army attacks, no one has been looted, and the supplies have also been greatly reduced.
So in the last few days, she has had to find someone to cut the grass and feed the small livestock.
At the same time, Qian Rujun also took advantage of this opportunity to harvest new species from the grassland.
As for the preparation for moving, it depends on the original people of the baggage camp.
Recently, the people in the baggage camp have lived very happily, because Qian Rujun promised that no matter whether he has a daughter-in-law at home or not, he can hook up with a grassland woman, and if he hooks up, he will marry home, as long as you are willing to do so, Qian Rujun will not stop it.
But to make it clear, if you don't become a wife, you may be sold by your husband's family at any time.
Although it is a Hun woman, although Qian Rujun sees such a stinky woman, she is very reluctant to believe that this is her kind, but Qian Rujun is also a woman after all, and she still comes from the era of high feminism, and she still can't bear some practices in this era.
She always can't help it, and wants to ask for benefits for women.
Qian Rujun felt that it was time to change places.
Emperor Liu Heng did remember this incident, the sky and the earth are big, the food is the biggest, if you don't give food, how can the army have the strength to fight.
Even if you set off with a month's worth of forage, it won't be enough.
However, he did not prepare for the army to go back to meet Qian Rujun, and assigned more than 1,000 people to protect Qian Rujun and the baggage camp.
For the emperor, running back and forth was too much of a toss.
What the emperor did was similar to what Qian Rujun did, except that what he did was not beautiful.
He set fire to the materials in the people's base areas, and as for the cattle and sheep, if they could eat them on the spot, they ate them on the spot, and if they couldn't eat them, they threw their corpses into the barren valley.
I don't have the ability to carry a heavy battalion at all.
If Qian Rujun knew that the emperor had done things like this, he would probably say that there was no need to stay in one place.
Now, the emperor did not change places, he inquired about the news, and the king of Aries and Lou Fu finally set out and advanced to his place.
Xiongnu Shan Yu also advanced to his place.
The ability to obtain news, Qian Rujun is not as good as the emperor.
Qian Rujun didn't bother to hear the news at all.
But from the mouths of the Hun slaves, she still got the news.
Of course, the place where they had to be stationed was not the place where the emperor was stationed, but the place where the emperor helped them choose a place with rivers and water, because they could not lack river water and lake water to prepare food.
And the place where the emperor wants to stay is a convenient place for war.
The movement of a large force, if there is no advance personnel to inform it, it is easy to cause misunderstandings.
The emperor sent more than 1,000 people to pick up Qian Rujun, and another purpose was to help carry food.
The emperor hoped that Qian Rujun would be able to do enough work and prepare more things that officers and soldiers could eat.
He didn't know that Qian Rujun had a lot of harvest from cattle, horses and sheep during this time, and made a lot of jerky, except for some small livestock that were not slaughtered.
Most of the lambs and calves were collected by her to graze by herself, and even she put them into the space, anyway, the specific number, not only the emperor did not know, but also the baggage camp did not know.
Now Qian Rujun has a lot more space, and cattle, horses and sheep have greatly enriched the breeds in the space.
In this prairie, Qian Rujun also found a lot of new genetic organisms and obtained countless new points.
The grassland is originally very fragile and has few people, and of course, after the time of climate change, this place is the first to suffer.
These creatures were certainly not found by the Huns, who did not have the ability to do so, nor were they trained in this area.
But every time the Hun brigade attacked, Qian Rujun sent an outstanding student from Xuetang Island to follow, and in the process of advancing, he could assign the Huns to point to the east and west, and collect what he wanted.
With so much point income, Qian Rujun suddenly had an idea to expand the space of Zizhu Lake.
At first, the space of Zizhu Lake made Qian Rujun feel very big, but now she feels that the space of Zizhu Lake is very small.
However, the Zizhu Lake space is not originally a part of the space, but the outside world all the way, and if you want to point out the expansion of the space, the e-paper book may not accept it.
Qian Rujun's idea is just an attempt.
After asking the podium, Qian Rujun got the answer.
There is indeed no way to expand the space of Zizhu Lake. For the same reason she thought.
But Qian Rujun got a good news, she wanted to turn the main body of space into a place where animals could live, it was impossible, but it was indeed feasible to expand the space for animals to live along the space of Zizhu Lake.
The numbers given by the e-paper book before are actually just the values needed for the overall evolution of space.
After a certain amount of energy exchange, it is actually feasible.
For e-paper books, these e-paper book points are actually the embodiment of an energy body, but they are just turned into specific numbers that can be used by Qian Rujun.
There are many functions of plants, and there are also many functions of animal flesh, Qian Rujun has accumulated a lot of fur and made a lot of leather goods, many of which have been turned into tents.
Qian Rujun will not be sorry for his own people, after more than 20 days, he even let the little boy learn various things with the Han people.
But they are still under collective control, and the people who discipline them are the students of Xuetang Island.
In fact, after being brainwashed, they have become completely Qian Rujun's people from body to heart! If Qian Rujun wants them to die, they will immediately cut themselves off.
Even those women, even if it is his lover, no matter how painful it is, they will do it.
And they themselves will find a reasonable reason, and this reason can even make them themselves bad people and betrayers, but it will definitely not involve their thoughts about Qian Rujun.
Qian Rujun rarely does this.
If she finds a bad guy, she'd rather let someone else do it.
The baggage battalion is not without managers, there is still a team of 100 people who manage it here. It's just that it's management, and there are not many things they can do.
Originally, there were more people in charge, but the emperor found that everyone listened to Qian Rujun's words and took most of the people away.
"If the princess is sent back by the emperor, or if someone is sent over, these five thousand Huns will make them feel threatened, and they will not even dare to approach, thinking that the princess and we are all captured. So it's better to keep these people in the camps and restrict their freedom. And the Hun women, and the children, were not allowed to wander around the camp. ”
"It's a simple question, we can send someone out and talk to them, like you, it's not difficult to do. ”
"It's too dangerous for the steppe to act alone. ”
"I can let you bring a few more people, these 5,000 Huns are now protectors for us. Restricting their freedom is irresponsible to the baggage camps. And now there are seven or eight thousand women and children in the barracks, who are busy helping us every day, taking care of these sheep, and making meat, and when we move in the future, they will help us even more, and even, two-thirds of the women are following the men, on the horse, bringing back more supplies for us, relieving our pressure, although they are Huns, I have to speak for them. ”
Now the people in the baggage camp only need to take charge of the easiest work, and compared to before, they are simply living a heavenly life.
Even these 100 sergeants have to admit that they used to have great authority, and now they are no different from ordinary people under Qian Rujun.
Except for the first time, when they need to fight bravely, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with them, so they want to go to the front line at all, how can they get ahead without military achievements?
As for the people who will come to the army in life, most of them actually have a very weak sense of life, although the Han regulations are that everyone must serve in the military, but most of the Han people have no way to pass smoothly in the Han Dynasty against the law.
Military service, in this case, becomes a substitute for it.
Those who volunteered to join the army were hired by the men who paid for their salaries.
