In October, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Pang Tong is also adapting to this unbearable climate. One day, the weather was dark and the air was cool. Pang Tong gathered everyone outside the city, just a few days after completing the move. Men, women, and children from the four tribes stood outside the gate, and Pang Tong stood on the flat-roofed tower. He noticed that the Mullers stood last, as if consciously feeling their humble status. He had also heard of Mueller women being raped in dark corners at night for no reason, and that Mueller's houses had been robbed by unknown masked men.

Pang Tong asked people to check the matter after knowing about it. But because the victim was afraid of death, it didn't go well. He was also angry about this, and law and order was a very important thing. After all, the four tribes have come together. The distrust of the Mullers was also a serious problem, and since Bailuo and Bagu strongly disagreed with the inclusion of the Mullers in the army, the few remaining strong men of the Mullers were assigned to other tasks, trained as blacksmiths or other laborers.

There were no other sounds on the plain, there was silence. Pang Tong cleared his throat in the face of tens of thousands of people and said loudly: "We are now a big clan, called the great clan of the Ren clan. The Baihe tribe, the Bagu tribe, the Mule tribe, and the Yejin tribe are now gathered together. We should realize that this is a big family, a big family. Everyone is equal, and no one has the right to be violent against others. His voice spread far away, very wide. When the Mueller people heard this, they looked at the tower with emotion. "I've heard about the violence of the Muellers, it's too much! If you can't forgive a tribe that is willing to accept the sneak attack of each other's cultures, you can't be recognized by more tribes without a broad mind. In my opinion, violence against captives is the most shameful thing to do, let alone the people who now live together as family. Everyone's habits will slowly change and merge together. And I will do my best to bring the civilization of the north to everyone. That's not a bad thing, you can't refuse, that's what makes the Han people strong! I conclude that this rebellion of the great clans of the South will ultimately fail. ”

He paused, and heard the voices below that began to talk. He gives people plenty of time to question themselves. Then he went on to say in a loud voice: "Why did it fail? It is because of the civilization of the Han nationality, their exquisite equipment, and the study of tactics are not imaginable by the southern ethnic groups. We should admit the gap, and then catch up with the Han people, in order to stand up and become an independent country that is not controlled and not bound! ”

Many people are nodding their heads, and this phenomenon is common in Pang Tong's vision.

"So then, you all get ready, and the culture of the Han people will come into your lives. I would like to remind you of one thing. The most powerful thing in the current Qiqi County is not our Ren clan in the northeast of Jilan County, but the Ping royal family in Pingyi County, northwest of Qiqi County. They have 500,000 people, and there are many large and small tribes attached to them, and they are the overlords of the entire Qiqi County. I know that you also know this, the eldest surname in their clan, that is, Zhu Bao surnamed Zhu is the patriarch of the tribe, and he is also the county guard, and he is actually the man who rules the entire Qiqi County. Every tribe in the county has to pay tribute to the Ping royal clan in all seasons, do you want to continue this history? Continue to bow down? ”

Everyone was reluctant, but such a bold idea had never been in the back of their minds. Today, this man, known as the Great Patriarch, has instilled many new elements into everyone's minds and taken root. Pang Tong had already mastered the skills of speech before going to university, and he always knew that speech was an important competitiveness, which could persuade people and implement their will, which was a kind of strength.

After he came to this troubled world, he conquered many people with his speech skills on many occasions. On this day, he succeeded just as well. When everyone continued to listen to him without resistance, he said even more heroically: "We now have 270,000 people, and we have gathered the strength of the four tribes, and we have become stronger. We want to swallow the Ping royal clan into our own power, and there will only be the Ren clan in the county! ”

Everyone took a deep breath, and Pang Tong's sentence seemed to be deliberately attacking the god-like existence. But they were convinced and prayed in their hearts for the day to come. The cheers of the plains burst into the air and roared, as if they were going to bring this sound to the realm of the gods.

Because of Pang Tong's tough hand on tribal peace. The killing of the Mueller no longer happens. Because the ratio of males to females in the Muyl ethnic group has almost reached an exaggerated gap of twenty to one. Pang Tong decreed that if a man from another tribe married a woman from the Mule tribe, he would receive an animal. This greatly encouraged many young men, who began to cross the barriers of old hatred and ethnic differences and accept Mueller women. This event promoted ethnic integration, and the various ethnic groups began to intermarry, without much ethnic boundaries, and gradually everyone had only the Ren in their minds. This incident brought a sense of crisis to high-level power groups such as Bai Luo and Bagu. Pang Tong set up the position of elder to replace the rights of the no-trace patriarch who were almost weakened, and this event properly prevented the struggle between the high-ranks. Otherwise, even Pang Tong would have to worry about whether he would be killed by a coup d'état in the middle of the night.

Although Xue Yue often said: "With me here, what are you afraid of, coward!" ”

However, it is difficult for two people to deal with a large number of enemies, and only by obeying themselves convincingly can they sit back and relax. Pang Tong began to develop a blast furnace on the basis of the original hearth, and this tall fenced building was built on the edge of the White River, leaving an opening for the power of the waterwheel to drive the gears to run, and finally a wheel with four huge planks like a water wheel turned, and the air was continuously fed into the furnace. The amount of smelted iron is greatly increased. He also personally led people to search for other veins within the territory, and found copper ore and a small amount of silver. Household items such as bronze mirrors, which are lighter than iron, began to appear in the homes of the Ren people.

The Ren tribe began to become rich, and in the spring of the following year, Pang Tong had already used the wealth of the clan to buy 10,000 good horses. At this time, there were 10,000 well-trained soldiers in the clan who were training all day. Other men threw themselves into other gravity work.

However, the haze soon drifted over.

In Pang Tong's stone house, Pang Tong, Bai Luo, Bagu, and Jin Bei sat on a large mat. The latter three are now all elders of the Ren clan. Originally, there was also an elder in the Mule clan, named Gangzan, who was Gangba's nephew. However, since no one from the Mueller tribe joined the army, he was not allowed to participate in matters related to the war. This is also something that has not been solved so far, Bai Luo and Bagu's vigilance against the Mule tribe.

It just so happened that Xue Yue opened the curtain and walked in, and Bai Luo, who was facing the door, smiled: "Clan Mother." He was so happy with the honorific title that a woman of such a young age that he saw that it was a woman who didn't like honorific titles. However, since the people in the clan are called Xueyue Clan Mother, Xueyue can only gradually get used to it. Who was said to be Mrs. Pang Tong from the beginning, and she had a room every day, so she had to blame herself.

Xue Yue nodded and said, "What is your grasp of the situation?" He seemed to know why these men were here. And she had just returned from the city. She walked behind Pang Tong and sat on her knees.

Pang Tong exhaled and said, "It's not a big deal, I found that the two tribes in Wuyi County in the south have gathered four small tribes, and about 50,000 soldiers and horses have crossed the county border, it doesn't look like they are going to the city, I think they are coming towards us." In Jilan County, a Chaoxue tribe to the west of us gathered several large and small tribes in the county, and nearly 40,000 horse infantry troops were in the north of the city of Qiqi County, and they were down in the village eighty miles to the west of us, which was too suspicious. ”

Bagu, who looked solemn, said: "It seems that it is coming towards us." ”

Jin Bei pondered for a while and said, "We didn't pay tribute to the Ping royal family. ”
