CHAPTER XXV. Military and Political

The result of this war between men and women can be said to be unexpected and reasonable.

The three men of cousin Lancao are also taken for granted, because those three men are not only Lancao's spouse. The man said that you actually slept with someone else, but I didn't sleep with you; Women dare to say now that they don't sleep and pull down, you and I are not a clan, and you are not supporting me, and the children are raised by the tribe.

Whether it is the relationship between spouses or social status, on the whole, it is basically the embodiment of economic status and labor, and women in agricultural society are alienated from people into matable and fertile things, and only after entering the industrial society can they be liberated by the labor of their hands.

In addition, relying on conscience, preaching, morality, and even religion to elevate the status of women is a tree without roots.

A few days after this tearing, it was another autumn rain, and in order to prove that he also did that kind of repetitive work, men also squatted in the house with women to weave twine fishing nets with pottery shuttles, and some learned from women to shake spinning wheels.

Chen Jian made an excuse and called all the Wu Commanders in the queue to another room to avoid this labor.

When the elected captains heard the news, they happily threw away the Tao Suo and ran to the next room, causing a burst of laughter and scolding from the women.

There were too many problems exposed by the last war, so Jian Chen wanted to sum up his experience with these people and let them know why they were fighting in line to fight.

The current troops, plus the rest of the tribes, are nearly two hundred. The largest combat unit was the army, nearly 40 units, and he could not command it at all, so he had to select some middle-level officers.

After the troop is well organized, it is enough to use the methods of the Shang and Zhou periods. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, 12,500 people were the army, one army had five divisions, one division and five brigades, five people were in the army, and five troops were two.

In the era of the previous life, people who really knew how to fight would hide how to fight, because the more people who knew, the more unfavorable it would be to the inheritance of the bloodline military aristocracy.

Now he is only a soldier of two pawns, and he can still explain clearly how to fight a war of hundreds of people. If there is more, he can't command now, so he can only rely on experience to accumulate and constantly summarize.

More than forty people were crammed into a room, without the slightest military bearing, chatting nonsense, Chen Jian knocked on the wall, making everyone quiet for a while.

The stickmen painted on the walls with charcoal were similar to the last battle, and those who participated in that battle quickly recognized them.

After finishing the painting, Chen Jian pointed to the wall and said, "To fight a war is to let us die less and let others die more." Tell me, what can we do in the last war to make us die less? ”

The people below glanced at each other, but they didn't know what to say, and after waiting for a long time, when Jian Chen was about to be disappointed, his cousin Acorn finally opened his mouth.

"Ken, I was thinking after the last fight, we were by the river at the time, and there was a person who rushed to the front of our team. After killing that person at that time, if I leaned over to you and surrounded them from behind, it should be fine. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the three Wu Commanders on the far left also nodded yes, and Chen Jian said, "Yes, then why didn't you move at that time?" ”

"You didn't beat the drums, no one told me, and I didn't know what to do. Besides, if we walk in line and wait until the battle is over, but if we are separated, it will be a one-on-one fight......"

Acorn scratched his head, a little embarrassed, if he had brought people over in the first place, maybe his own people would not have to die seventeen.

Chen Jian said: "The team, you still have to line up, if you line up in a team, how many can you beat each other?" ”

"If it's just a small team, you can fight four or five. If we were close to the river, or if there were other squads on both sides to help us block the flank, we could fight ten or twenty people, but anyway, ten people could not all be piled up in front of us, and there would be four or five people in front of us. ”

Acorn got up, and the rest of the people came alive, accusing the right squads of the right wing of walking too fast, exposing the right side of their squad, like a wild boar showing its soft buttocks.

The uncle said with a bitter face: "At that time, as soon as people from other tribes rushed, my steps were faster, and I didn't expect these at that time. ”

Songya said: "It's also our fault at the time, if our thirty people see them rushing over, they will distance themselves from you first, and when they are stuck with you, they will rush over directly, and those people will not die." We all practice how to hit people, and a chaotic fight may not be able to beat a team. ”

After hearing this, Jian Chen was still very satisfied, at least these two people used their brains on the battlefield, and thought about what they would have done if they had regret medicine. Although I still don't understand it, at least it has a little rudimentary form.

He tried to ask, "Why do you say I have to let you go thirty paces before you rush?" ”

Before Song could speak, the tanuki had already shouted, "That's not easy, I'm wearing those wickers, and I won't have the energy to rush any further." Besides, if I had run so fast, if I had rushed a hundred paces, by the time I had rushed in front of the enemy, Song would probably still be twenty paces away. After someone can stab me to death, wait for Song to rush over and then stab him to death. And if we get close and rush again, everyone rushes at the same time, and it is impossible for several people to deal with one of me. ”

A few people from the spear squad also nodded, they saw with their own eyes that the enemy rushed over in chaos last time, and the enemy who ran fast wanted to deal with the whole squad, and it was easy to be killed, and the people behind rushed after killing.

If the enemy had been lined up at the beginning, and each squad had to deal with five or six people at the same time, it would have been troublesome.

The tanuki thought for a while and then said, "There is another reason, if the enemy is motionless and waiting for us to rush forward, after we rush thirty paces away, your slow squad can also follow." Otherwise, we will be thirty of us and hundreds of them, and you will be in a hurry in the back, and by the time we move to the front, we will all be dead......"

Jian Chen clapped his hands and said, "That's right, what else do you want to say?" ”

These people all shook their heads, they couldn't think of anything for a while, in fact, Jian Chen wanted to say a lot, but he hadn't really experienced a similar battle, even if he said it, this group of people might not be able to understand.

Seeing that everyone was silent, they seemed to be pondering the three words that the tanuki said just now, which was really a true portrayal of the mood of some people in the battle that day.

Chen Jian knocked on the wall and said, "We will have to fight in the future, and there will be more and more people, let's choose a few more people." The five squads are counted as one or two, and one person is selected to be in charge, and I myself am in charge of one or two, and the rest is up to you. ”

There was hardly any suspense, and the most talkative acorn and tanuki were chosen.

After the election, Jian Chen glanced at the wolf skin who had been silent, and said in his heart that he was usually so happy, what happened today?

"Brother, why don't you say a word?"

Wolf skin spread his hands and said: "I can fight whatever you say, anyway, we are hiding behind and shooting arrows." When I make a bow that can shoot a hundred paces and kill, I will ride the horned deer, and while they are eating and sleeping, I will shoot and run, and they will not be able to catch up anyway. ”

Everyone laughed, and Jian Chen also laughed so that everyone dispersed, and went back to continue weaving fishing nets.

A few days later, the leaders of the ten tribes also came to the village with a fixed number of men, carrying the food needed for the next few days.

Jian Chen broke up these newcomers and divided them into the original team, and the captains were all from his own two clans.

Punishing the tribes who betray their oath does not require a big battle, it is a political issue, not a military one.

The two tribes that were rescued also elected their own leaders, and the council of fifteen people was finally assembled, and they discussed in the house how to punish the tribes.

Chen Jian didn't wait for these people to discuss this time, and directly expressed his opinion.

All those tribes were moved out of the mountains and arranged in the lower reaches of the Grass River. The purpose of arranging it downstream was that in case something went wrong, the army could go down by boat, which would be easy to control.

These relocated tribes must learn to grow wheat and beans and breed them, and every year they harvest 10 catties of grain must be handed over as the common property of the 15 tribes.

In addition to this, they also need to hand over different amounts of fish, firewood, twine, sheep, deer, etc. every year as a price for their betrayal of their ancestors.

The amount of money paid is not too much, it will not cause their fierce resistance, and it is better than life in the mountains, which he has carefully calculated.

The leaders of those tribes were not eligible to join the council, and they did not even have the right to give opinions, but could only govern their own people.

When they went out on the war, they also had to send men as baggage soldiers, and they did not have the right to become combat soldiers.

In normal times, they also had to undertake such duties as dredging rivers and ramming city walls, so as not to interfere with their normal cultivation, but also did not allow them enough time to develop their handicraft industry.

Correspondingly, they were sinful kindred, not slaves. They have the right to worship their ancestors, they have the right to trade and exchange, they are entitled to share the guidance and protection of their ancestors, there will be corresponding people to teach them things like planting, and even some wine, pottery, tools and other things can be given to them after the annual sacrifice. The army also needs to protect them from foreign intrusion and attacks.

In a few years, if the territory expands, they can also prove their loyalty, and have equal rights with the current fourteen tribesmen, but not now, they will have to rely on their children to be ashamed and brave.

In the future, the village will be used as a city, and the people in the city will have political rights, and there will be handicrafts in the city, and the fighting troops will also be selected from the inhabitants of the city, and the city will be the center of the radiating jurisdiction, so as to control the area within a radius of 100 miles.

There is basically no objection to this opinion, and several leaders want to use these people as slaves to reclaim the land, but Chen Jian vetoed them, and those tribes will inevitably be the basic plate of the tribal alliance in the future.

After discussing all this, it was decided to set out tomorrow, this time without taking too many people, leaving some of the people in the village to prevent emergencies, and to go for an armed procession.

The heads of the fifteen councils must follow and denounce their betrayal, as a sign that it is the common will of all.
