Chapter 185: Smashing the pot and selling iron
Although He Mulan and the others hated the old hatred at that time, thinking that he was a general who treated soldiers as consumables, this old boss really appeared in front of her and asked her to be a personal soldier......
She could only take it.
After Mangu was demoted to a general, all his people were temporarily under the management of General Xia, and then the injuries of the Fujun general of the left army worsened, in order to calm the anger of the left army, Mangu was demoted again and became the doorman of the right army.
Now General Wang asked Mangu to be her personal soldier, in addition to making his life less miserable, it is estimated that it is also the idea of his old generals.
After all, the people under the hands of the barbarian Gu who have survived for so many years and have not died are all real warriors. Looking at He Mulan and the others, you will know that most of the slightly weak ones have died in the charge.
But let the barbarians be their own soldiers......
He Mulan thought about the scene where Mangu washed her socks and brushed the horses, and the whole person suddenly shuddered.
"To accept or not to receive?"
"…… Harvest! "
Mom, that's terrible, Peanut wants you to get along well with your new roommate!
Woooooo
Others were not surprised by Hermulan's decision. This is equivalent to a good assistant sent by General Xia and others. Although Mangu has a small brain, and Xingzi is also vulgar, after all, he is a military merit that kills with a knife and a shot, and he also starts from a centurion to lead troops, how to form a new army, and who to do things with, he knows much more clearly than He Mulan.
Second, the newly established camp of the right army began a vigorous "camping movement", and the men and horses of Hu Lihun, Ghost Slayer, Adan Zhiqi, Tuluo Daman, and Na Luohun began to unload their camp tents and stationed next to the military tent of Hemulan. Since then, this large area of military tents has been managed by He Mulan, and if there are contradictions and disputes, they will be resolved by He Mulan.
Since the centurions who came first were all Hermulan's fire, the problem of "how to serve the people" was also well solved. Although only more than 500 people under the men of Xiri's companions arrived, it was enough to fill Hermulan's heart with joy.
On the day of the camp, Mulland changed into his old clothes and went to their camp to help.
She wore too much style when she competed, and there were only three of them in the huge school field, many people knew Mulan's name, and felt that she couldn't open her eyes when she was dressed, but she didn't see Mulan's people clearly.
When He Mullan removed the armor of the champion Hou, she was thin and weak, and her appearance was not particularly memorable, because most of the soldiers did not recognize her as their "general".
"Oh my God, who erected this wooden pillar! Do you want the tent to fall down when the wind blows?" A fire chief scolded, "If there is a strong wind at this time......"
Salad salad ......
"Hurry up and let the fire chief, the wooden pillar has fallen!"
The fire chief was so frightened that he ran away!
Strangely, the wooden pillar was tilted at only a small angle and then stood upright again.
"Who are you......"
"What the hell ......"
Under the wooden pillar, He Mullan pushed the wooden pillar straight, looked at this familiar scene, and smiled nostalgically.
"The pillar really needs to be deeper, there are often strong winds when spring and summer meet in Montenegro, and sometimes it really blows the wooden pillar down......" He Mulan glanced at the stunned soldiers, clapped his hands and continued to help.
"Which fire is that? Is it our team of hundreds?"
"It doesn't seem to be, it's from Captain Edan Zhiqi's side, right?"
"How do I know!"
"You, you, you, go and bring me two bundles of thick rope!" A fire captain grabbed Hermulan, who happened to pass by, and glanced at her. Newcomer, right? Don't run around while everyone is doing things! Don't wait for your fire chief to give you some work, you've got something to do! Find something to do yourself! "
"Okay." He Mulan nodded, "I'll go find you hemp rope."
"That's right!"
He Mulan shook his head amusedly, and went around looking for hemp rope.
It's a good thing she doesn't have to spend money on this thing.
When Ardan Zhiqi and Hu Lihun, who went to the quartermaster office to get their things, came back, they saw such a scene......
Since Hermulan's strength was indeed very great, at this moment she was carrying a thick wooden pillar and a bundle of hemp rope in her hand, and placed it towards the position designated by the fire chief.
As soon as he put it on the ground, he was pulled away by a few men next to him, and began to carry a large bundle of wood and began to make wooden wedges to fix the surroundings.
Shan Zhiqi and Hu Lihun were scared to death, because the camp where they were located happened to be managed by the two of them, and the twenty camp tents had not yet been erected, so they brought the general to work as coolies first, which was also too ......
A fire chief covered with tendons and flesh seemed to admire Hermulan's appearance, reached out and hooked his arm, put his arm on Hermulan's shoulder, and praised him with a smile:
"The young man is good, although he looks thin, he has a lot of strength, and what is even more rare is that he is diligent! Which fire are you in? Do you want to follow me......
"General Flower, what are you doing here!" Ah Dan Zhiqi's face was half dark, "Liba Mountain, you let go of General Hua!" "
"What Flower General? I'm having a ...... with this new kid What?"
Libashan shook his body and looked down at He Mulan in his arms.
This kid looks thin, seems to have some meat, and his body doesn't stink......
No, that's not the point!
"Will ...... General?"
He Mullan laughed from this karma called "Liba Mountain". [,! He got out of his arms and shook his head at Shan Zhiqi: "Don't scare them, my general is also a new general, maybe his qualifications are not as old as them."
"You are a general now, how can you not have the majesty of a general at all!" Ah Dan Zhiqi disagreed with him like a brother. It's one thing to love your subordinates, it's another thing to laugh and play with your subordinates."
"Okay, okay, why didn't I find out you were such a mother-in-law before." He Mulan looked at the soldiers behind him who were already stunned, or fugue-like expressions, and touched his nose with a bored look.
"You go on, I'll go back to the big tent first, and call me when you can't carry it......"
She dropped the sentence and ran away with a puff of smoke.
When He Mullan left the hot camp and returned to his empty tent, he sighed inexplicably.
How do you become a leader?
At this point, she hasn't done as well as Mulan.
"General, do you want to take a bath?" The brute who had just become a soldier strode into the tent." There's just a big pot of water boiling in the fire room, do you want me to bring it to you, scrub and scrub it?"
……
He Mulan looked at the big black face of the wild man and shook his head violently.
"Is there anything to do?"
Mangu continued to ask.
He Mullan continued to shake his head.
"I said that you, a young man, have just become a general, you should be busy with your feet not touching the ground, why do you stay in the tent all day long!"
Mangu said with a face full of indignation: "I think when I first became a general......"
"General Ben suddenly thought of one thing that he hadn't done yet, so he went!"
He Mullan jumped up and ran out of the tent like a gust of wind.
Boom......
Is this ancient man a guard, or a father!
Why do you still train her like a son!
When He Mulan ran out of the tent, he looked around in confusion, but he didn't know where he was going.
At this time, everyone else was practicing in the school field, and when she was in the Eagle Army, she should have been helping Kumoti feed or be on duty in the tent......
He Mulan stood for a while on the road where the soldiers on the right were coming and going, and he really couldn't stand the expressions of "Isn't this a new general, why are you still lazy here" from everyone, and walked towards the tall "Sky Dome" outside the Black Mountain camp.
She also has dozens of "military slaves" working as odd laborers in the high-chariot tribe, and now is the time to check them out. Although the language barrier is different, there are high-speed car people who can speak Xianbei there, and it is not a big problem to communicate.
Not long after she stepped out of the Black Mountain camp, the magnificent huge tent appeared in front of her eyes again. The Gaoche people are a people who can sing and dance, and at night you can often hear the sound of singing and dancing from the direction of the Gaoche tribe.
It's a pity that it is strictly forbidden to make noise at night in the army, otherwise with the xing character of the Xianbei people, I am afraid that I will have to sing along with it.
When Hermulan arrived at the gate of the place where the Gaoche tribe was stationed, he showed his general's card, and the guard at the gate let her in very easily, and kindly pointed out where the blacksmith shop was, and where her slaves were working.
He Mullan thanked him in shame, she had almost left them alone since she had rescued them, and had relied on the army tent and the chariot men to raise them for her. She simply didn't have the consciousness that she had raised dozens of slaves, and sometimes she even forgot about it.
The high-rook clan has changed dramatically from the time she came a few months ago. The camp, which was originally bounded by high cars, is now surrounded by wooden fences into a one-person high wooden wall, and the high car people live here. There are tents all over the inside, and there are also makeshift wooden sheds and earthen kilns, which are obviously the places where the craftsmen among the high-speed charioters worked.
The high-chariot people in the high-chariot tribe are shuttling like weaving, and there are also many Wei soldiers who are communicating or trading with them. The Gaoche tribe has become a small Black Mountain city, where men, women and children live, and they are attached to the Black Mountain camp that is only a hundred meters away.
He Mulan had heard some news when he was with Kumoti, and it seemed that Tuoba Tao was not going to let these high-chariot people enter the Great Wei, but let them go to the Ele River to graze cattle and sheep. I want to wait for the king of Tuoba Tao to drive to the high car, and after the reward, this heavenly dome will be demolished and moved to the Eilechuan.
Thinking about it like this, this "wooden city" couldn't last long, and He Mulan couldn't help but sigh, and looked more carefully at the surrounding Yiqiē.
Wait a minute!
They went to Eilechuan, who did she rely on to raise these military slaves?
Now there are still high-rollers to eat, waiting for more than sixty military slaves to return to her tent......
He Mullan covered his mouth, feeling like he was out of breath.
"Are you alright, general?"
A worried voice came from Mullan's side. He Mullan turned his head, and he was a very cute little boy.
The little boy's Xianbei words were quite smooth, and when he saw that He Mullan had come over, he bowed his head shyly.
"Looks like it's fine. I have to find someone to treat my heartache, my aunt died of heartache! "
After that, he didn't wait for Hemulan to react, and ran away.
Did you die of heartache?
Hermulan wondered.
What does that have to do with me?
He Mullan followed the doorman's guidance to a makeshift blacksmith's shop. The Gaoche people are famous in the north for their craft of forging and repairing weapons, and the places where they live and nomadic produce iron and coal, and they have mastered the true meaning of iron and fire earlier than other Hu people.
Fire!
Hot!.
[,! A sturdy man!
As soon as Hermulan entered the blacksmith's shop, he felt that.
The generations of wrought iron in the tall car people are all strong people, the furnace is hot, and the men who forge weapons are all naked/naked, revealing healthy bronze skin, picking sledgehammers and hammers, and beating pieces of wrought iron on iron cobalt.
There are a few men pulling bellows on the side, or carrying cold water back and forth to quench the iron. As soon as these miscellaneous men saw Hermulan coming in, they immediately cried out:
"Master!"
This sound of the owner made many high-speed car people look over.
"You're their master?"
There is no barrier to communication between the Gauche and these Rouran slaves, and the Gauche Men have also been slaves, so they are very tolerant of them, and when the slaves are brought in by the military tent, they can easily find a job with the Gauche Man.
To re-establish their homeland, to give the Great Wei people the help they can provide, they have a lot to do, and there are many places that need help, and the Rouran slaves rescued by He Mulan have found the dignity and stability abandoned by the past here, and now they see He Mulan again, and there is panic and anxiety on their faces.
This fear and anxiety made He Mullan not know what to say, and opened his mouth: "I'm just coming to see how you're doing......
As soon as he said this, the uneasiness of the slaves became even stronger.
"We work hard every day and we're never lazy."
He Mulan felt that the more he said, the more wrong he became, Suo Xing stood aside and watched the high-roller man strike the iron. The weapons of the high-chariot people are now very sought-after in the army, except for some gifts to generals, most of them are sold to those who can afford them.
Their "stacking" process is said to have come from the Western Regions, and the weapons made by the Gaocha people have layers of patterns on them, which are not made later, but the layers after repeated forging.
Probably the most laborious process of these people is "forging", where one strong man after another repeatedly beats the red-hot billet until he is sweating profusely, and then the next person knocks it.
Most of the slaves sent by Hermulan were so thin that they could not do such work in the blacksmith shop, but were all miscellaneous laborers, and the high-rollers did not seem to be afraid that their skills would be learned by others, so they only cared about their work.
She called her slaves to the side of the blacksmith shop and began to whisper about her promotion to general.
A few people who understood Xianbei's words relayed it to each other, and each of them showed happy expressions.
A general's slave and a guard's slave have a very different status.
Seeing their happy faces, He Mulan smiled bitterly and said, "I am raising more and more people, but I can't afford to raise them. It's okay for you to just work here, and I still have to feed more than 2,000 people......"
Although the grain and grass are provided by the army, the main general is too poor, and the army's morale will be weakened after a long time.
Some of the slaves whispered something to the side, and one of them said, "Yes...... You can lass horses and sell them."
He Mulan was aroused by the words of this military slave, and hurriedly asked: "What kind of horse is sold?" Where are the horse traps?"
She really didn't understand the worm language, so she pulled a man who could speak Xianbei in a high car as a translator, and the military slave stumbled and said a lot, and the man relayed it, and He Mullan understood it.
Every spring, there are a large number of wild horses breeding on the grasslands. There are not many horses in a herd, most of them are about a dozen, and the head of the herd must be a male stallion, who leads the mares, young ponies and other wild horses that have returned to the herd, wandering the grasslands in the spring, looking for suitable groups to breed.
Wild horses also have their own herd consciousness and know that they cannot mate/mate with their daughters or sisters, so in the spring, the stallions will exchange the mares in the herd and merge with other herds to form new herds. At this time, the wild horses will gather together in herds, and the worms will go out to collect wild horses in the spring, bring them back to the tribe, and strengthen the tribe.
It was difficult for these slaves to understand that their generals were troubled by the inability to "feed more than 2,000 people", but they lived in Rouran, a place where there were many more miserable and poorer than here, and they could survive by the way they had been passed down from generation to generation.
As soon as He Mullan heard that he could sell wild horses, his eyes immediately lit up.
There are a large number of merchants in Montenegro, and most of the horses obtained from the worms are taken from the army, but sometimes the main general will allow the people below to stay, and these merchants will buy everything, including worm horses or pack horses.
"How much can you set? Is it dangerous? How?"
Those military slaves obviously accompanied their previous masters to do this kind of thing, and it was a good thing to say.
It is nothing more than taking some strong, prime-aged mare as bait, coaxing the head horse and stallion of the herd to come out, and then subduing it, putting on the reins and taking it away.
Wild horses live in groups, and when the head horse leaves, the ponies, mares, and all the horses in the herd will follow the stallions, and it is not difficult to put on hundreds of them at a time.
Although it sounds easy, the so-called head horse is naturally the strongest and smartest one in the wild horse, and if you want to subdue the head horse, of course, you must have extraordinary skills.
He Mulan only has more than 100 gold now, which seems to be a lot, but it is not enough to buy anything. She herself is excellent at riding and archery, so she can't let her subordinates not shoot arrows in the future, right?
Moreover, her subordinates have just been newly attached, and because of the lack of personnel and cooperation, it is impossible to fight immediately. Not being able to fight means that there is no income, and if the soldiers don't fight for a long time, they will waste their martial arts and slack off their spirits. ] is a taboo for all those who lead troops.
The more He Mulan listened, the more he became more and more nervous, pulled the military slaves, and asked, "Which of you have experience with horseback?" Do you do lasso? Do you know where there are wild horses around here?"
Those military slaves had all lassoed their horses, but they didn't know anything about the geography around the camp in Montenegro, and they didn't know where there were wild horses to mole.
At this time, an older blacksmith spoke quietly: "There are thousands of wild horses living at the foot of Yixin Mountain, which breed under Yixin Mountain every spring. That was a hundred years ago, and now that so many years have passed, I'm afraid there are tens of thousands......"
"Master, how do you know that there are horses under Yixin Mountain?"
He Mullan looked at the old man in surprise.
"Your area was originally the place where we lived in the era of the Eile people, there are horses at the foot of Yixin Mountain, and it is passed on by word of mouth, how can there be a mistake?" The blacksmith shook his head. Now this has become a place for you to confront Rouran, and even Yixin Mountain is deserted, which is a pity."
"Thank you Uncle for mentioning it!"
He Mullan bowed deeply and led the slaves out of the blacksmith shop. As for whether it would be wrong to have a few less handymen in the blacksmith shop, Hermulan didn't care.
She took these slaves back to the right army and went to General Wang first.
General Wang was all running around for her affairs, and he was very happy to see her coming, and after listening to her question, he thought for a while, nodded and said:
"The other generals in the army are not without ideas to find some inputs. General Hu Long of the Left Army raised a lot of cattle and sheep in the Eilechuan, and they were all looted back from the Worm. If you want to sell some wild horses, you should not break the laws of the army. It's just that you don't have any experience in harnessing horses, and you don't know where to go to ......."
"It's good if you don't break the law." He Mulan breathed a sigh of relief. Everything else can be done slowly."
"You have an idea?"
"General Wang, there are nearly a thousand idle men under my command...... "He Mullan looked satisfied. Just take this opportunity to hone and hone and get along well......"
General Wang choked at once.
"You want those generals ......"
He Mullan laughed.
A few years later, the small school field.
Hemulan's prestige and natural divine power had been spread through the mouths of Arman Zhiqi and other captains, so most of the newly attached soldiers under her account were not dissatisfied, but eager to make a good contribution under her account.
Although He Mullan is a new general, the new general also has the benefits of a new general, and this group of people who followed her from the beginning will sooner or later become the confidant and the most important group.
At this time, Hermulan summoned them to come, just like the first meeting of the newly established company, and everyone was expectant and curious, wondering what General "Mulan" would say to them.
Is it a rhetoric? Or is it heart-to-heart?
This set course dù on which they were determined and the style in which she led the army.
He Mulan stood on the podium of the small school, looked at the seven or eight hundred soldiers under his command, and some of the original hesitations in her heart were all left behind, she looked at a group of soldiers, and asked loudly:
"When you come to the army, you naturally hope to make meritorious contributions, serve the Great Wei, and glorify your own lintel. I'm no different from you on this point......"
"I just want to ask, do you want to go back alive with countless belongings!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Since everyone is on the same page, General Ben won't say much. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to come to training." He Mulan glanced at the men with various expressions below.
"General Ben's training method is different from most people's, but once he learns it well, he will benefit immensely for life......
She looked at a group of subordinates with inexplicable expressions, and then looked at Shan Zhiqi and the others who had "Mulan, what the hell are you doing" written on their faces, smiled slightly, and high-fived them three times.
After the applause, several thin men came out from behind, each with a respectful expression, not like an ordinary sergeant.
Sure enough, as soon as these people came to the stage, He Mullan pointed at them and said, "These are the 'gentlemen' I invited to teach you a stunt. Once you learn this stunt, you'll all be able to eat and clothe from now on......"
Stunt?
Don't worry about food and clothing?
The soldiers who were fooled and almost showed a fanatical demeanor suddenly made an uproar.
Seeing that his intended goal was almost accomplished, He Mullan raised his hand in satisfaction.
"These 'gentlemen' will be accompanied by my house slave Peanut, and will teach you this skill for the next half month. In addition, a team of 100 men must patrol every day at the foot of Yixin Mountain, twenty miles to the north......"
"Huh? Yixin Mountain? There's no one grazing over there anymore, have any creeps gone south lately?" Touluo Daman seemed to know a little bit and asked in surprise.
"What does General Hua want us to search for?"
He Mullan smiled mysteriously:
"Search for money." Mulan has no eldest brother - 1570896608239252695 + dsguoo + 184 - &
