Chapter 23: Racial Talent
When the horse thief proposed to Yun Mo to collect the corpses of his companions, he agreed without hesitation, Yun Mo didn't look at the weapons and equipment on those horse thieves, if the horse thieves didn't collect the corpses, Yun Mo didn't want to send someone out to bury them.
The Han people on the earthen wall looked at the horse thief who came to collect the corpse blankly, everyone was stunned, wasn't the horse thief shocking when he charged just now? How did he shoot more than 100 people to death in the blink of an eye!
It turns out that these vicious horse thieves can be shot! The corpses of the horse thieves lying on the ground first stunned the Han people on the earthen wall, and then gave them the confidence to defeat the enemy.
Confidence in defeating the enemy is the soul of an army, and an army is a monster that needs to be constantly fed with victory. If an army is defeated repeatedly, even if it has the most luxurious equipment, then this army will not have the slightest combat effectiveness.
For example, the local tyrants in the Middle East, the Saudi Arabian army, all American-style equipment, aircraft, tanks, artillery, missiles, everything, the result! Beaten all over the ground by the Yemeni militia.
It can be seen how important it is to cultivate the confidence of an army to defeat the enemy, which can be summed up as the belief in victory, which is what we often call the soul of the army.
When the thieves had gathered the bodies of their companions, they retreated, and if they really missed the blow, they immediately fled thousands of miles.
And so victorious? Yun Mo felt that he hadn't had a good time yet! The battle was over, and he was still wondering, Chen Cang was the first to react, he immediately raised the knife in his hand and shouted:
"The leader is mighty...... Leader ...... mighty"
"Long live the chief......"
"Long live the chieftain!!"
Everyone raised their weapons and followed Chen Cang's roar, they roared hoarsely, roared with tears, this is the last cry of the remnants of the Han people in the Western Regions after being oppressed for a long time, this victory is not a victory, giving them a cathartic outlet, but also let them get a trace of faith in victory.
Of course, Yun Mo understood Chen Cang's intentions, he was using this victory to establish his prestige for Yun Mo, after all, most of the Han people here were just slaves bought back by Yun Mo, and only by making them believe in and worship Yun Mo could they unite them tightly around Yun Mo.
The hearts of the people are united, and Mount Tai moves.
If you can use all your strength, you will be invincible in the world; If you can use the wisdom of the crowd, you are not afraid of the saints.
Only by uniting and working with one heart and one mind can we defeat any powerful enemy and make it possible to survive and develop in the chaotic land of the Western Regions.
……
Because of the mutual defense between the horse thieves, Yun Mo won the second victory after the crossing, and the early crisis was passed with surprise.
Such a victory is not worth boasting about, and there will definitely be an even greater crisis in the future, so the earthen wall must be heightened, but it is not necessary for all people to participate in the construction of the earthen wall, and a large number of people are required to farm, make steel, make salt, and build weapons and equipment.
Yingzi is more experienced in this regard, after all, she has been a leader before, and Yun Mo almost does not interfere in how to arrange manpower, but Yun Mo's work is also very heavy.
First of all, select people with a skill among the Han people who bought back, and then put these technicians in the corresponding positions.
Among these Han people who didn't buy it back, there are really some talents. For example, doctors, blacksmiths, carpenters, masons, papermakers, etc.
These talents are the foundation for future development, although they are not needed now, but this does not prevent Yun Mo from giving some special care to these people with special skills, such as arranging some relatively easy jobs for him.
How to train soldiers, Yun Mo's eyes were also black, and those crippled veterans had a place to use again. Yun Mo was training with more than 200 male soldiers, and he, the leader, had nothing special about it, sweating like rain in the scorching sun on the playground with others.
The physique of these Han people who were bought back was too poor, and Yun Mo didn't dare to train them for a long time, it would kill them.
One exercise a day, half an hour a day, the intensity of training is not high, one practice queue, two practice crossbow arrow salvo, three practice stab. This kind of training is certainly not difficult and easy, and there is still a lot of time left for male soldiers.
Let him participate in labor? Of course Yun Mo would not do that, these soldiers will be the sharpest steel knives in his hands in the future, Yun Mo doesn't want to turn these soldiers into farmers, and besides, the earthen wall also needs to be guarded at all times.
Aren't there storytellers among the slaves bought? After the morning training, he asked the storyteller to tell those soldiers the stories of loyalty to the country, and Yun Mo would personally tell them some of the glorious history of the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, this is brainwashing in disguise, Yun Mo did this to cultivate their patriotic feelings, so as to lay a good ideological foundation for the restoration of the Tang Dynasty.
In the afternoon, let the soldiers choose their own weapons training according to their personal circumstances, for example, if you like to play with knives, then go to the crippled veterans who play with knives to learn knives!
A few crippled veterans left behind by the Yingzi tribe, they have now become fragrant buns, and every afternoon, they will be followed by a large group of apprentices, some who learn to ride horses, some to learn crossbow arrows, some to learn spearmanship, and some to swordsmanship.
In the evening, Yun Mo would arrange for Mr. to teach those male soldiers literacy, and the teaching materials were 100 family names and 1,000 characters. Don't underestimate the thousand-character text, it not only teaches people to read, but also teaches people how to behave.
As long as the Chinese characters are there, the culture of the Han people is there, even if these Han people are thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, then these Han people will always be Han people, and there will never be "those who are in China and Yi Di will be Yi Di", but only "Yi Di and those who are in China will be in China".
Half a month passed quickly, and the six sweet potatoes planted by Yun Mo had grown long vines, and thousands of acres of wasteland had been reclaimed, and the vines grown from the six sweet potatoes were only enough to cut more than a dozen acres of wasteland.
Could it be that the wasteland opened up was left barren, Yingzi meant to plant corn, but Yun Mo resolutely vetoed it.
Yun Mo's meaning is to continue to cut sweet potatoes, more than a dozen acres of land that have been planted with sweet potatoes, at most half a month, will grow endless sweet potato vines, and as long as it is a reclaimed wasteland, sweet potatoes can be planted.
Although sweet potatoes are coarse grains, they have a large yield! As long as Yun Mo can grow thousands of acres of sweet potatoes this year, he will harvest a huge amount of sweet potatoes.
In this place in the Western Regions, as long as there is food, are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit people? If Yun Mo wants to develop, he must continue to increase the population, and food is the foundation of development, and nothing is empty without food.
If you grow corn with a yield of more than 100 catties per mu on the reclaimed land, this grain is only enough for Yun Mo and the other hundreds of people to eat for a year, what kind of development can we talk about! Therefore, it is necessary to grow sweet potatoes with the highest yield.
The earthen walls are still being built, the wasteland is being reclaimed, and steelmaking, salt production, and weaponry are well underway.
When more and more land was covered with sweet potato vines, a long-lost smile appeared on everyone's faces. The Han people are a nation, land and crops are their lifeblood, of course, their ability to grow crops is also unparalleled, they can grow crops on stones.
