Chapter 28: The Soldier Conquers the Savage
Xiao Yiran only arranged breakfast for fifty more people yesterday, but he didn't expect to catch eighty-five Tiger Clan soldiers at one time, so he had to ask An to make breakfast for the extra people. Looking back at Lin beside him, he asked:
"Lin, there are your relatives in the ranks of the Tiger Clan."
"Nope."
"Will they take revenge on your relatives when they go back?"
Seeing that Lin hung his head and did not answer, Xiao Yiran thought about it and said decisively to Lin:
"Lin, give you time for a meal, arrange the prisoners, pack up the bows and arrows and javelins, and lead fifty soldiers to attack the Tiger Clan. Remember, after arriving, twenty-five people were sent to the Tiger Clan's men's station, surrounded but not beaten, and only did not allow them to come out. The other twenty-five people broke into the Tiger Clan's residence and robbed the Tiger Clan's women and belongings here. Got it? ”
"Yes."
Lin replied in a loud voice, turned around and prepared to go according to Xiao Yiran's instructions.
It is said in the book of war that "soldiers are treacherous", Xiao Yiran doesn't want to learn from people in this era, what kind of face-to-face combat with real knives and guns, sneak attack is the best way to win more with less. After sending Lin and fifty soldiers away, Xiao Yiran came to the prisoners of the Tiger Clan and examined them again. This time, Xiao Yiran did not plan to immediately let them choose whether to join the Dragon Clan like last time, but was ready to let them work and live here for a period of time, and let them take the initiative to make a choice when they were familiar with and understood the wealth of the Dragon Clan.
"Ann, send someone to gather the seriously injured together, carefully clean the wounds, apply wound medicine, cook more soybeans for them to eat, and barbecue a little more than others."
After Ann finished dealing with it, he led Ann to the adobe house that Lin had built some time ago. first looked at the accommodation that Lin had prepared for himself and the An family, and then looked at the other houses, feeling that the two of them did not build a better place for their family to live than other houses for their own purposes, Xiao Yiran secretly admired in his heart.
"Ann, when Lin comes back, arrange for the women of the Tiger Clan to live first, and give the rest to the Tiger Clan soldiers captured today. If it is not enough, let those who are not injured sleep in the open and take care of the wounded first. Also, prepare an extra meal for the wounded, that is, three meals in the morning, noon and evening. ”
"Sister, will Lin only lead fifty people too little?"
"No, after the first battle in the morning, the soldiers of the Tiger Clan have lost their morale. Besides, Lin went this time mainly to rob the women and wealth of the Tiger Clan, and did not have a head-on conflict with the soldiers of the Tiger Clan, so he would be fine. You just have to remember to tell the cooks to prepare a lot of food. ”
Lin and his entourage came back at ten o'clock in the evening. Fifty soldiers, escorting nearly two hundred Tiger women, can be described as a mighty team, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the Dragon Clan's station. Xiao Yiran didn't greet him, but just asked An to lead a few women out and settle the Tiger women in the adobe house outside. Xiao Yiran didn't expect so many people to come, and the house was obviously not enough to live in.
"Ann, go and sue Lin, and first arrange Lin's relatives to the attic where we lived. Let the women of the Tiger clan squeeze first, and start building new houses tomorrow. Tell them and make sure that each of them will have a new house to live in. ”
Finally, the ratio of men and women was harmonized, and Xiao Yiran breathed a sigh of relief. However, it is also necessary to prevent **** from happening. This matter still has to be left to Lin Lai, after all, he is from the Tiger Clan and is familiar with the kinship between them.
"It's time to set up some special institutions, such as those in charge of people, crops, hunting, textiles, and breeding."
Xiao Yiran calculated in his heart. According to the records of Shunzhi in the history books before the rebirth, the person in charge of crops and hunting is "Situ", "Sikong" is in charge of people, and the person in charge of handmade zuò is called "Gonggong", so these three positions will be allocated first. It is better to keep the army in their own hands, and Lin will manage it for the time being.
The next day, Xiao Yiran summoned Lin He'an to his tulou and asked them to nominate people from the ethnic group who were familiar with planting, breeding, and handicraft. Lin Hean thought about it carefully and said a few people to Xiao Yiran. One is called "Mountain", familiar with hunting. One is called "fruit" and is familiar with planting. One is called "wood", and is familiar with making all kinds of wooden objects.
Xiao Yiran did not immediately announce that there were three people in charge of planting, hunting, and making zuò, but secretly inspected for a period of time before Xiao Yiran gathered all the clansmen and publicly announced the deacons of the three. Because Xiao Yiran felt that the name of one word was very unpleasant, he added a word in front of each of the names of the three people, namely "Xiongshan", "Hongguo", and "Liangmu". At the same time, Xiao Yiran announced that the soldiers still had Lin Dai to manage and train, and also added the word "Xiang" in front of Lin's name, and Lin was renamed "Xiang Lin" from then on. An is the great wizard of the dragon clan, but he no longer follows the bad habit of the eagle, snake and tiger and other great wizards who cannot have children, and in order to facilitate the name, he renamed An "Xiao An".
Next, Liang Mu led the slaves to build adobe houses, and based on the current number of people in the clan, he built more houses for 200 people. While Xiang Lin is responsible for training the soldiers, he has to assist Liang Mu in taking care of the slaves. Hongguo led the competent manpower to continue to expand the area of rice and soybean cultivation. Xiao An selects some of the women who are in good health to assist Hongguo. Xiongshan led twenty sturdy clansmen and was in charge of hunting. You must do your duty, not only to keep the dragons safe, but also to provide enough food for the dragons. As for silkworm raising, silk reeling, weaving, and salt drying, Xiao An is in charge. ”
After Xiao Yiran announced, he led his people to the stone statue of the dragon god and held a solemn oath ceremony.
From then on, the life of the dragon family began to become normal.
For a long time, Xiao Yiran has been called a variety of names in the clan, Xiang Lin and Xiao An have always been called "sister", and other clansmen have also called Xiao Yiran "patriarch", "leader", and "headman". Xiao Yiran thought that it was time to give himself a loud and unified name. After consulting the opinions of several newly elected stewards, Xiao Yiran finally made a decision, and in the future, the clan will call her "emperor". In fact, except for Xiao Yiran until the meaning of "emperor", the rest of the people don't know what this word means.
Moreover, Xiao Yiran also stipulated what kind of courtesy the clansmen should do to her, and also made regulations. A woman only needs to bow to Xiao Yiran, and Xiao Yiran is a blessing for women in TV movies before learning from her life. Men have to kneel and bow to Xiao Yiran, which is a simple kowtow salute, and no longer perform the five-body bow.
Corresponding regulations were also made in dress, only Xiao Yiran, the "emperor" in the clan, could wear long skirts, the great wizard wore semi-long skirts up to the knees, and other women wore short skirts. Men are also dressed in short clothes. Of course, these can only be implemented until there is enough silk cloth. It's just that Xiao Yiran and Xiao An have silk dresses temporarily. Xiang Lin and the other three stewards had a pair of silk pants.
Xiao Yiran did not interfere with the marriage between adult men and women, but just asked Xiang Lin to find a way not to have a relationship between close relatives.
With the increasing number of men in the clan, Xiao Yiran has more choices. Subconsciously, Xiao Yiran would always go to the adult men's side to make a round, especially the training ground of Xiang Lin and his soldiers, which was the place that Xiao Yiran went to most often.
Every time he saw the bulging muscles under the bronzed skin of the soldiers during training, and the Wei Jian looming under a few leaves, Xiao Yiran's body would have some inexplicable reactions and throbbing.
After a period of time, Xiao Yiran had the shadows of several people in his mind.
