Chapter 249: Three Thousand Turkic Cavalry
Baibars was a middle-aged man who looked stout.
As the joint patriarch of the five tribes, he no longer has much of a Ha temperament, and looks more like a Han - at least in appearance.
However, as soon as Baibars opened his mouth, a strong Mandarin with a Kazakh accent rushed to his face, which also made Yue Song deeply feel that even if this person looked no different from the Han people, he was not a Han after all, but a Kazakh, a descendant of the Turks in the past.
"Are you Han?"
Yue Song shrugged, "Do you need to say this?" Anyone can see it. ”
Baibars's face is very unpleasant, but no matter who it is, after hearing that his son has caused a big disaster, he must not have a good face, let alone his own side is not at all reasonable.
Therefore, even if his son and clan were beaten by the Han Chinese, Baibars did not think of rushing up to take revenge, as a proud Kazakh, he would never allow anyone to do anything that would damage the honor of the clan.
So Baibars glared at his son fiercely, Farabi was naturally frightened, for fear that he would be punished unimaginably harshly today, and Yue Song didn't want to entangle with these Kazakh people, so he just said straight to the point.
"I heard Farabi say that the five tribes around here are all managed by a patriarch, and this person should be you, Patriarch Baibars?"
Baibars nodded, "I will give you an explanation for this matter, we Ha people will not do such a thing to disgrace Allah, no matter how much Farah extorts from you, I will compensate you twice!" ”
"Father! We didn't ......" Farabi listened horrified, how much does the tribe earn in a year? If you really want to compensate according to double, I am afraid that the hard work of the five tribes for a year will be in vain.
"Shut up, I don't have a son like you!" Baibars shouted loudly, and all the Kazakh people were silent on the spot.
The two were talking in their own language, although Yue Song couldn't understand it, he could also tell it by the tone and expression of the two when they spoke, and he could still guess the meaning.
"Patriarch Baibars, I think you misunderstood." After a sentence attracted the attention of Baibars, Yue Song said angrily: "I didn't come to you to ask for compensation, and besides, I didn't take out this money, so there is no such thing as blackmail." ”
"You mean ......?" Baibars is also a little confused, what does this Han mean? If you don't want money, why do you want to break into the Kazakh gathering place alone?
"It's simple, I want to sign an agreement with you." The corners of Yue Song's mouth rose, and he finally revealed his true intention in his heart, "My crew and I are filming here, we need a lot of manpower, I am not short of money, only people!" ”
"You want us to serve you?" Baibars' face was still dark.
Yue Song couldn't help but roll his eyes, "I said, you are also a patriarch, don't you even know the principle of fair contract?" I paid you to hire you, and I still do your old job, playing the role of the ancient Turkic cavalry......"
"How much are you willing to pay?" As soon as he heard that he had paid for what he had gained, Baibars's face suddenly turned cloudy.
"One person, two hundred a day!" Yue Song shook his two fingers in the depths of the country under the gaze of all the Ha people, "The more people, the better, it is best to gather three thousand people, and there is no cap!" ”
Baibars and his people gasped in unison, their hearts almost stopping.
Herdsmen like them living in barren areas, after a whole year of hard work, each family can earn an income of a few thousand yuan, which is already a great luck, and this is also counting the wind and rain, there are no natural disasters, in case of a big drought or something, then this year will be in vain.
At present, a big financier suddenly appeared, and he was willing to pay 200 yuan a day to hire everyone to shoot...... What kind of drama is that, how can such a good thing not make everyone feel tempted?
Not to mention these herdsmen, even Baibars himself was also moved.
It is true that he is the patriarch, but the economic conditions of his patriarch may not be well-off, that is, it is just a little better than the clansmen.
With a reward of two hundred yuan a day, even he himself thought about it and felt that he could try it.
But Yue Song's words were not finished yet.
"Patriarch Baibars, what I need is not an ordinary herdsman, I must be a herdsman who is skilled in bows and horses, and you want to play the role of a Turkic cavalry, which is the strongest period in the history of the Turks."
Baibars doesn't take this seriously at all, and which of the Kazakh men is not skilled in bows and horses? Even if the Kazakh people in peacetime and modern history have gradually abandoned the tradition of bows and arrows, equestrianism is definitely not inferior to that of any ethnic group.
Even with bows and arrows, today's Kazakh people can still shoot bows and arrows at will on horseback, which is definitely not a problem, but it is difficult to guarantee accuracy.
After receiving Baibars's assurance, Yue Song asked another question.
"Do you have so many of them? As far as I know, the total population of your five tribes is just over 4,000. ”
Baibars patted his chest and promised, "No problem! There are not enough of us in five tribes, I can ask for help from other tribes, and if I get together 3,000 people, I can definitely do it! ”
There are more than 19,000 Kazakh people in the entire Qitai County, of which except for a small number of people who live in the county seat, most of the others are distributed around Qitai County, and have lived by herding cattle for generations, which is also the confidence of Baibars to gather enough for 3,000 people.
To put it simply, these 3,000 people are basically the most powerful Kazakh male surnames among all the Ha people in Qitai County, and they are the backbone of nearly ten Kazakh tribes.
As everyone knows, this is exactly Yue Song's purpose, it is not difficult for the Kazakh people to get together 3,000 people, but for him, it is difficult to climb to the sky, 3,000 people are only 600,000 a day, and with his filming efficiency, it is only ten days, the 6 million is really worth it, where can I find 3,000 Turkic descendants who are skilled in archers and horses to play their ancestors?
As for whether the Kazakh people will feel humiliated because of the role they play, so as to cause large-scale ethnic problems, Yue Song has no pressure on this.
In Farabi's own words, the blood of their Ha people is already very mixed, and the Turks of those days are ...... At most, it can only be regarded as one of the ancestors of the Kazakh people.
This can be clearly seen from Baibars, he did not consider whether he led his people to play the Turks, whether he had the idea of humiliating his ancestors, after all, the Turks at that time only had the most primitive beliefs, which is very different from today's Kazakhs.
It can also be seen from the expressions of the surrounding Kazakh people that the words "Turks are concerned about my" are almost written on their faces.
This also made Yue Song feel at ease and began to really discuss various matters of employment with Baibars.
As for the hiring of the Kazakhs, this was only an idea that he had on the fly, but in fact, it was not originally for the purpose of gathering so many "Turkic soldiers", but for another purpose.
For well-known reasons, this country has always been very sensitive to ethnic issues, especially in the public eye, and it is really difficult to say whether a movie of a large-scale bloody battle between the Han army and the Turks suddenly appeared.
Don't look at the TV There are also many films such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the war between the Han army and the Xiongnu is often mentioned in one stroke, never describing it much, and even simply portraying the Xiongnu as another Chinese minority, as if this is just a civil war, some kind of brotherly dispute.
But in Yue Song's opinion, this is really nonsense!
At that time, it was a life-and-death struggle between the Turks and the Han people, without the slightest compromise, where did the civil war come from? Including the most humiliating act that should make the Han nation feel humiliated, the stability of a country and a nation needs to be borne by a few weak women, what a great shame is this?
However, some historians who have problems with their heads and buttocks are ashamed to define harmony as a symbol of national unity and integration, which is really a shame to be thrown into my grandmother's house.
As a staunch nationalist, this is absolutely intolerable to Yue Song, and he just took advantage of this shooting Jedi counterattack to directly expose this sensitive issue to the public, just to see what those shameless historians say.
The Turkic descendants don't have anything to say, what else can you shameless Han anniversaries say?
Yue Song also thought about it, and originally planned to focus on the tragedy and heaviness of this play, but now there is another theme, that is, cruelty!
A nation and era that drinks blood, if there is no ferocious temperament, one of these two nations is destined to be destroyed by the other party, in this case, why put on a gentleman's and chivalrous face of the Han army?
In the past, the confrontation between the two armies that was like an outing should be rolled out, and a big battle will be fought in the Ming Dynasty, not only bloody to the end, but also must reveal a strong ferocity and brutality!
If the Han army didn't have these two things in their hands, how did they drive the Turks to Europe back then?
Almost after agreeing with Baibars on the time and specific payment method, Yue Song also set the most fundamental tone for this drama in his heart.
Although the conflict at the beginning seemed to be tense, and the Kazakh people almost fought with him, but once the "friendly relationship" between the two sides was determined, the Kazakh people turned into a hospitable minority as soon as they turned around, which really made Yue Song experience the feeling of being at home and customers like God.
At the kind invitation of Baibars, Yue Song promised to come here tomorrow with the crew to participate in the bonfire they held - this is not true, but it probably means that it is correct.
Like the Mongolian people in the grasslands of northern Xinjiang, the hospitality of the Kazakh people is also famous, and the crew must be drunk by then.
However, before that, Yue Song let Baibars and the Yiganha people experience what it is like to be a drunkard who "does not pour a thousand cups" in advance. (To be continued.) )
