Chapter 5: Gathering Strength
The day before yesterday, Tu Teshan Yu rewarded his thousands of households, and he hadn't seen it yet, so he just went to receive it. took 500 warriors to his tent, these 500 people did not mean to take it back, Ji Lou Yuan would not take the initiative to propose, so he should reward himself with Shan Yu.
Ji Louyuan's tent was in an open space on the east side of the Meiji city wall, and when he brought people there, he saw that there were large and small felt tents scattered around, and at a glance, there were three or four thousand people. Seeing Ji Lou Yuan return to the account, he quickly gathered around him to meet him, and Ji Lou Yuan slightly appeased these Hun tribes who would belong to him in the future.
After spending some time to understand the situation of these thousand households, Ji Louyuan was surprised, he thought that his grandfather would be content with two thousand people, but who expected that it was twice as much as he expected. You must know that in this Meiji royal court, counting all the old and weak women and children, there are only more than 200,000 Xiongnu tribe subordinates, and nearly 4,000 people have been allocated to themselves at this time alone.
These thousand Huns are strong men and healthy women, and there are many families of three or four, plus those 500 warriors, who are only partial to themselves, which can be seen. Ji Louyuan was very puzzled, even if he was a grandson, he wouldn't love it to this extent.
Ji Louyuan's brain was open, but he was not the son of Hu Zheng, but the son of Shan Yu. His mother, who has been dead for many years, may have had an entangled love triangle between Tu Te and Hu Zheng more than ten years ago, and some bloody incidents occurred? Either it is not only why the relationship with Hu Zheng is not good, and Hu Zheng is also indifferent to his son, but only because he dotes on himself.
Don't think about those messy things, Ji Lou Yuan took care of it and considered expanding his strength. And the first step to control the Xiongnu is to manage and develop the thousands of households. Even though the Southern Xiongnu were slowly sinicized for hundreds of years, the essence of the military tribal alliance did not change in the slightest, and it was enough to manage it by military means.
In his previous life, Ji Lou Yuan was also a general who unified the army in all directions, and he used both grace and power, and the means were frequent, and he managed the thousands of people in an orderly manner in a short period of time, which was unique among the many tribes in Meiji. Kong Wu Qingzhuang selected and formed a thousand-man cavalry army with the previous 500 people, appointed himself a thousand commanders, and strictly ruled the military law, and killed dozens of people who did not obey military orders.
The Huns had a good foundation, but after a month, they trained an elite army with considerable combat power, and the most important thing was to be loyal to Ji Louyuan. Ji Lou Yuan governs the army, the first thing is loyalty, what he wants is the tool to obey orders, if there is no superfluous feelings under his subordinates, it will be such a terrifying and shocking army.
Ji Louyuan's governance of the tribe was seen in the eyes of many nobles in Meiji, and their emotional reactions were varied, but they did not dare to underestimate Ji Louyuan, a young prince. And Ji Louyuan's performance also proved the correctness of Shan Yu listing him as the heir of the next generation, and quietly publicized it for a while, so that his reputation among the Huns spread like a nourishment.
Many tribal and noble leaders expressed their willingness to get closer to Ji Louyuan, although they were all small tribes, obviously wanting to make some long-term investments, and the real powerful clans, such as the Lan clan and the Xu Bu clan, did not express anything.
While Ji Louyuan took the opportunity to win the hearts of the people, he also took the initiative to contact many tribal leaders on the left of the Xiongnu, although he did not get too many people to be loyal, but his influence in the left tribes was greatly improved. The Liwang of Zuogu is in the family, and there is no backbone of Hu Yangu, only in the eyes, anxious in the bottom of the heart.
Months passed slowly, and in the middle of winter, the north wind was howling and the snow was white. The grasslands around the big tent of Ji Louyuan were all designated as his tribal station, and a fenced wall was built outside, but the weather was cold and covered with snow, and the households were all shrunk in the dome to avoid the winter, and the surroundings were very quiet.
Inside the wide tent, several fires were placed on either side, and the charcoal burned uncontrollably, making a crackling sound. There were a few people gathered in the tent, soaking white steam, rubbing their hands to keep warm.
"This winter is really cold, thanks to the prince's strategy, strengthen trade with the Han people, in exchange for a lot of living materials, otherwise my Hun people are starving and freezing, I don't know how many people will die under this natural disaster!" Lan Li was on the side, glanced at the rest of the people in the tent, and praised Lou Yuan, as if he was the number one henchman under Ji Lou Yuan's account.
The power of the Ji Lou Yuan tribe has grown a lot in the past few months, and as the head of Ji Lou Yuan's guard, it is naturally the tide that rises. There are many people who are admired and allegiated, all of whom were accepted by Ji Louyuan, and after a period of observation, he discovered a lot of talents.
The three of them, Zheyu, Helan Dangfu, and Fugu Huaijing, were the most valued by Ji Lou Yuan, and they were actually accepted as confidants and quite trusted. Let Lan Li feel a lot of pressure, for fear that his position will be replaced.
Ji Lou Yuan somewhat believed that luck said, from his point of view, Zheyu and others were rare talents in any era. These people did not become famous in the world in their previous lives, and they seem to have been annihilated in the long river of history.
And when he crossed over to this Huns, he came out one by one and was discovered by himself. Ji Lou Yuan felt that he was like the son of luck, able to spur out talents to drive. Just like Gaozu, the small Pei County has gathered many talented and talented people, and has walked out of so many founding heroes.
calmed down the mixed thoughts in his heart and asked Lan Li, "What is the result of the things that asked you to investigate?" ”
Lan Li's eyes suddenly showed some incomprehension, and he still replied honestly: "The Wang family of Qi County, the former patriarch Wang Kui died of illness and had no heirs, and it is Wang Yun who is in charge now. However, Wang Yun and his brother are both officials in other counties, and only some side clansmen are left in Qi County to maintain them. ”
"What about Zhang? Where is his daughter? ”
"The Zhang family is just a small clan in Qi County, and its daughter is only a few years old, but more than ten years ago, a daughter married Wang Kui, and after Wang Kui died of illness, she lived in the Wang family's mansion!" Lan Li replied respectfully.
Ji Lou Yuan was silent, when he heard the situation in Qi County, he couldn't help but feel relieved, it seems that he has traveled to this world again, and the Wang family has also changed, and there is no trace of "Wang Yi" in the world!
Lan Li asked with some temptation: "I don't know what is special about the Wang clan and the Zhang clan in Qi County, which has attracted so much attention from the prince?" ”
"Don't talk too much if you shouldn't ask!" Ji Lou Yuan's tone was stern, and he looked at Lan Li coldly. Lan Li's heart trembled at the sight of Ji Lou Yuan's cold gaze, and he only felt that the prince was like a bloodthirsty beast, ready to pounce on him and devour himself at any time. People who are usually quite brave are so frightened that they dare not say more.
"Isn't Zuo Da Danghu your uncle, if you go to visit him, just say that I, Ji Louyuan, want to seek his support!" Lan Li settled down and was ordered to go out of the tent, and several people in the tent looked at Lan Li's back playfully. "Does the prince think it would be useful for him to go to find the big boss?" Helan Dangfu asked.
Ji Lou Yuan commanded in a cold voice: "Zheyu, keep an eye on him for me." Lan Zhi put him next to me as an eyeliner, I really don't know what to say, think I can't notice it? "Zhe Yu Gong promised.
Fu Gu Huai said coldly: "Prince, since Lan Li is unfaithful, do you want the villain to kill him, and promise to leave no traces!" "Fugu Huai is tall and big, extremely brave, and his strength is amazing, and he is the most fierce warrior under Ji Louyuan.
Ji Lou Yuan waved his hand to stop, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes: "Lan Zhi wants to spy on a fierce tiger, I give him this opportunity, sooner or later one day swallow him!" He asked the man beside him, "The leaders of the left department, how are you in contact?" ”
Zheyu shook his head: "At this moment, those who are willing to support the prince are all small tribes, and some are willing to support secretly, I am only afraid that they will use this as an excuse to find a swaying mind, as for the Lan clan, Huyan, Qiu Lin and most of them do not need to be mentioned." There was some loss in the words.
Ji Lou Yuan smiled when he heard this, and said lightly: "It is enough to get the support of the small tribes, and it is also a large force to accumulate, and I have never thought of subduing the rest of the big tribes." As for the rest, it is still swaying, do you believe that they will faithfully support the Huyangu, rat generation, insignificant! ”
Listening to Ji Lou Yuan's analysis, the three people in the tent suddenly showed a knowing smile, and when they saw Ji Lou Yuan holding the wisdom pearl in the main seat, they only felt full of confidence in the future. With such a heroic master, he will be able to achieve a great cause!
