Chapter 25: Repression
Qiao Cheng's sinister gaze stared at Ham, making Ham feel a little uncomfortable.
"Yes...... How high can you get? Can you stop the horse thief? The people's minds are determined, and we ...... Don't be careful! Joan Tai clumsily wanted to hide the fact that he was afraid of foreign thieves. Qin Cang figured out, maybe this Xiucai failed to become the head of the family because his temperament was too soft. Otherwise, why would Qiao Cheng, a little official with no fame, snatch Xiucai's position?
Uriels relayed.
"About three German rulers (one German ruler is about eighty centimeters, the old system). Using a large number of waste rocks and stones left by mines and blacksmith shops that have nowhere to be piled up, and then filling the gaps with clay, although it is not very strong and not high, it is certain to stop the horse bandits. To be honest, my hometown can't even make this. Ham was a little bit of a feeling. This poor ravine of Switzerland is indeed ...... A little too poor. Compared with the Rhône River basin, which is one of the best in France across a mountain to the west, and compared to the Lombardy region across a mountain in the south, the gap of hundreds of miles has been exploded.
"How many soldiers do we have now?" Qin Cang asked Qin Chuan.
Take advantage of the victory to pursue, and don't give Qiao Cheng a chance to mess around. The tacit understanding between Qin Cang and Qin Chuan is very good.
"We now have thirty cavalrymen with iron armor, and we can levy three hundred iron horsemen and five hundred foot troops. If the situation is urgent, you can ...... and if appropriate, the number of slaves in the mines shall be reduced to eight hundred. "As soon as Qin Chuan calculated, the manpower advantage immediately came up.
"Where's the armor?" Qin Cang asked pretendedly.
"There are 300 spearheads, 90 knives, 300 sabers, and 3,000 arrows. Ma Zetai has a half-farrier. Another assault rifle thirty. In other words, we have half of Thailand's soldiers and horses, and we have iron weapons. Qin Chuan touched his beard and said with a smile. To be honest, this war property is not even owned by the Katulu tribes. Today, there are about 500,000 Tatars in the Crimean Khanate, and the popularity of iron tools to this extent may only be available under the four nobles and the Khan.
Qin Cang and Qin Chuan sang and harmonized, but they pinched the rhythm of the meeting in their hands. Qiao Cheng sat there with his face turned purple, still speechless.
Bao Yin, whose Chinese was much better, quickly came in.
"Then why don't you send someone to find those Greek horse bandits? I have 200 men here! Baoyin's hurried words undoubtedly made Qiao Cheng's face darken again.
Qiao Cheng felt that his eyes were white and black, and he was about to pass out! It's really a hell, he knows that Qiao Antai is weak, but Qiao Su didn't speak, and he clearly wanted to pit Qiao Cheng, can he bear it?
Qiao Su, are you still not a member of the Qiao family?
Qiao Cheng stared at Qiao Su deadly, but Qiao Su changed to a self-cultivation posture as if he didn't feel it.
"Good! That's it! Then it's up to me to give the order! ”
Qin Cang announced loudly, while Urrels and Ham Green immediately retreated.
"Number one! The Italian slaves who requisitioned the mines built the walls of Chizhou City! Whoever is willing to participate, one year of hard labor is subtracted! The second one! From now on, each production team will send 20 militia members to open outposts in Beishan and Xishan! We must be on the lookout for the Greek bandits that may be coming! Of course, the most important thing is the Genoese! Therefore, the residents of the harbor area will receive weapons and go home every day from now on! Beware of the pirates!
The last one....... The Tatar and Qin clans jointly dispatched sixty elite soldiers! Scatter and hunt down horse bandits on the peninsula! ”
The new order was soon posted outside Qin Cang's door.
Now Qin Cang's house, which is the best in the local area, has become an "official mansion" in the eyes of everyone. The bulletin board that was originally in the North Ward will remain. The reason why the new proclamation was placed here was, of course, to maintain Qin Cang's majesty.
How do you maintain the people's respect for a king?
Tall palaces, majestic officials, powerful and powerful armies.
And when the people looked at Qin Cang's house all the time, it was a kind of infection.
.......
"Uncle Siliang, are you going too?" A few guys surrounded this middle-aged man.
Qin Siliang, the third member of the Qin clan of the production team. Due to Qin Cang's call, Qin Siliang signed up to participate in the search for Greek horse bandits. It happened that the people who participated in the operation were all their own people, Tatars and Qin clansmen, and there were about forty Tatars and about twenty Qin clansmen. In order to balance the two sides, Qin Cang chose to let the old and sophisticated Qin Siliang take office.
Qin Siliang sent a few juniors away, and then led his horse, carrying the leather armor sewn with iron sheets issued by the big iron supervisor and carrying the saber to the meeting place. Oh yes, and bows and arrows. Sixty iron arrows were sent from it.
The meeting point is also in the Northwest District.
When Qin Siliang arrived, there were already forty or fifty people gathered here. Several young juniors are fighting shirtless off the field. Of course, it's not really about fighting, it's a way to compete. Similar to the Mongolian sumo wrestling at the Naadam Convention.
Therefore, the Hu problem that Qin Cang is worried about is still very problematic.
Now the Han tribe has almost clearly carved out a river, and on this side of the river are the Qin clan and the Tatars who ride horses and raise swords; On the other side of the river are the Qiao clansmen facing the loess with their backs to the sky, holding plows and resisting hoes.
Although Qin Cang has been working hard to promote the integration of the two sides, this is obviously not a problem that can be solved in a while. On the other hand, if you officially pass the assessment in the autumn, then a large number of Han people will inevitably be introduced in front of the monthly trade. Then such a foundation, the Qin clan, is obviously going to be pushed aside.
Qin Cang didn't feel that there was a guide like Qiao Su every time.
What's more, Qiao Su is not so wholeheartedly.
Shaking his head, Qin Cang continued to draw the plan of the city wall on the drawings. Now he wants to get the draft of the restoration of the city wall as soon as possible. Otherwise, those Italians are not eating white food on the construction site?
.......
The wind-blown sand on the steppe is very strong. But the Kerch Peninsula is different. This is a clear intersection of forest and meadow. Summer is coming, and the grass on the ground looks a little unrefreshing. Sparse trees and shrubs make the peninsula feel less empty.
Several huge lakes dot the area, as if mocking the insignificance of human beings.
"Uncle Siliang! This water is not bitter water! "A few Han Chinese took their horses to try it and found that the water in this lake was actually drinkable.
Hearing this, Qin Siliang hurriedly took out the big iron pot that Qin Cang handed over to him.
Light the fire, boil the water, cook.
People have a misconception that raw water in ancient times was clean and drinkable.
But in fact, the ancients knew for a long time that the water was not clean. Therefore, people in the European Middle Ages preferred to drink a large amount of wine. As for raw water, they don't drink it.
Now, a cloud of smoke rises from the dusky grassland.
