There were more than thirty more children in the camp, and it seemed that there was a lot more anger, and the men who used to shout and shout in the past had a lot more patience now, and even Gonzas, who was the most irritable and liked to lose his temper, seemed to be much more gentle.

The camp expanded a lot, and the interior of Lao Luo's camp became more and more complicated, with gladiators who had escaped from the land of life and death (one hundred and seven, four of whom were female men who belonged to Li Ji), eleven rescued slaves from the Goshu tribe, twenty-three Qarluqs who were captured as slaves, plus two Maasai (Naga and Mnachi), one Tang man (Cui Shibalang), two Arabs (El Hesian and Nuralman), oh, and an Italian Alessandro Tivano, who came all the way east, Because of the bandits along the way, of course, he also rescued some people who were captured by the bandits, if it wasn't for Lao Luo's control and didn't take in more people, I'm afraid that the current hundred people have become thousands of people.

But now, to be exact, there are 36 more orphans so far......

When they first came over, some of these children pretended to be clever, some pretended to be rebellious, and most of them pretended to be pitiful...... In short, according to Cui Shibalang's words, third uncle, these little things treat us as human beings.

What do you mean by a man? Lao Luo pondered for a long time to figure it out, dare is the name of traffickers in this era, and you really can't underestimate these little things, although they don't have much ability to fight, but what kind of training is needed to make them have such a sense of self-protection at a young age?

Originally, Lao Luo was a little compassionate, but now it seems that although these children are just a little pitiful in front of them, they can survive the predicament, which is their potential.

All of these children were basically of mixed race, and even a few were clearly marked by Mediterranean origin, with a total of twenty-five boys and eleven girls.

However, through slow contact, these children do understand people's hearts, and know that the vicious-looking men in this camp (many of them have scars on their bodies, and some of them have missing fingers and hurt their eyes) are actually not bad people, and the leader of this camp (Lao Luo) also specially asked people to set up tents for them, and even everyone has a warm sheepskin sleeping bag.

Two days later, Lao Luo asked Li Ji to help find a nanny who specialized in taking care of children, a total of five, two of whom also brought their own children. Lao Luo didn't ask Li Ji how he fooled people, but learned that the oldest of the five people was only thirty-five years old, and the younger one was even only twenty-eight years old, and they were all widows.

Some things are really difficult to know without understanding in detail, life is so rough in this year, in fact, there are hundreds of men who die in various accidents every year in a Tang camp in Nuoda, and the resulting orphans and widows can be seen. Lao Luo has seen a lot of similar things in later generations, but that era was basically a peaceful society, and orphans and widows were also taken care of by their families, but in this era, it really touched the heart.

Thirty-six orphans, plus five new widows, plus the three children they brought, this boy camp is basically a bit eyebrow-raising, and when people's hearts settle down, these children gradually have different expressions.

Lao Luo had the opportunity to ask questions one by one, only to learn that these children basically lost their parents or their mothers died and were expelled from their homes by their relatives, and some slipped out because they were ostracized at home, and some even had been on the streets for three or five years.

Many children can't remember their surnames, and some remember their surnames but don't want to use them anymore, so Lao Luo simply pulled them together, which can be regarded as the first collective lecture, "Children, you will all follow me in the future, are you willing to use my surname?" ”

To be honest, Lao Luo didn't expect to get much of a positive reply when he asked this, because these children were really very guarded, but he also underestimated his own charm and the influence of the soldiers around him.

For these children, having a warm bed to sleep in every day, when they are hungry, they don't have to look for something to eat everywhere, they can play with their friends when they have nothing to do, or watch the fierce uncles around them exercise, they don't have to worry about being scolded, they don't have to worry about being chased by wild dogs, and there are patient people like A-Niang who are shushing and asking for warmth on the side, which feels even better than the legendary paradise. Except for the occasional instruction to wash your hands when eating, not drinking raw water and eating cold food, there are many rules, there is nothing wrong with it.

So when Lao Luo was stunned after asking, what he heard was the word "willing" shouted by the children.

Lao Luo began to name these children while being happy and distressed, happy to come to this world, this can be regarded as adding population to the Luo family, right? It's a bit of a headache to come up with names for more than 30 children.

He simply used a tricky method to name the children with the sexagenary branch, so according to the age, the eldest child was twelve years old, and he was named Luo Jiazi, and the second one was called Luo Jianiu (because no one used ugly characters to make a big name), and so on, until the youngest was named Luo Binghai.

Of course, this approach was amused by Li Ji, who was watching, and the children were also happy that they had a new name. But there was also a bit of a mess, for example, if a girl doesn't like to use a rooster and a pig as a name, she has to transfer the boy to the front, and the final name is changed to a few fake words, which can be regarded as a great joy.

The original children did not have names, but they had nicknames or bandits, such as thin monkeys, garlic, bean sprouts, stones, curly hair, etc., and now they have all become with animal attributes, such as the youngest five-year-old Xiao Bu was called three pigs, and the little fart child is not annoyed, because in this era, being fat means that there are blessings, and no one likes it.

The children's affairs slowly began to get normal, and the soldiers under Lao Luo, who were all bachelors, seemed to have eliminated that ubiquitous evil spirit, at least Lao Luo could see Gonzhas occasionally looking at the children in the boy camp in a daze, and Stan, the big guy who said at the beginning that he didn't like a bunch of leather monkeys, went to the boy camp now that he had nothing to do.

The Tang camp or the Li family always did not say anything specific about the eastward expansion, and Lao Luo was not in a hurry, because there is a saying: rushing up is not a business. Lao Luo knows this truth better than anyone else, and he can't expect himself to have any royal spirit, people in this era are not necessarily stupider than people in later generations, and they can breed tens of thousands of people in such a helpless place, which has already shown the survival ability of the Tang people.

He believed that Li Zhan and Zhang Lu would not say that they wanted to return to their hometown for no reason, and he was sure that the local Persians would not tolerate the long-term existence of the Tang people as a small group, so according to the current scale of the Tang camp, it was already the limit of development in this land.

And what he Lao Luo has to do is to wait, and when the leading layer of the Tang Battalion decides to cooperate, he and his subordinates can fully exert their leading ability.

Therefore, his soldiers need to be trained in many aspects, and there is basically no need to worry about personal combat power, even Helton, who is good at communication, has a unique skill, but language training, tactical guidance, teamwork, survival skills, and knowledge such as treating the wounded need time to be imparted.

Except for Li Ji who took a few female men to Lao Luo's camp every day, Li Zhan and Zhang Lu didn't even show up again, and Lao Luo seemed to be leisurely guarding the camp every day without going out.

In fact, there is no spare space in Lao Luo's camp, Alke and Heldon have to take people to explore the surrounding movements every day, and by the way to "sell" some surplus camels and horses in their hands, and by the way buy some items that Lao Luo needs by the way, Stan has to manage everyone's food, drink, and sleep like a big butler every day, fortunately there are five widows who take care of the children, otherwise he will have to work part-time as a nanny, and the rest of Gonzhas and Siddenknord have to lead the group to do daily training......

Lao Luo has to train all the soldiers present every day on survival skills, first aid for the wounded, and combine the characteristics of this era of cold weapons to train the coordination of various battle formations, and most importantly, teach everyone how to transmit information at different distances. Don't underestimate this last one, messaging is a prerequisite for success on the battlefield, no matter what the era. One does not need to be too big, and the battle of hundreds of people can lead to the loss of personnel and defeat of the battle due to wrong guidance. It is conceivable how important it is to have the accuracy of information transmission and time efficiency in the era of cold weapons and tens of thousands of people in war.

In ancient times, the drums were beaten, gongs and the like were the best medium for information transmission, and the steppe tribes mostly used various horns to convey the commander's instructions, the Romans used copper trumpets and flags as guides, and the Maasai in Africa used rhinoceros horns to gather warriors......

So Lao Luo, the king of soldiers in later generations, understands these things even more, and when he tells this knowledge, basically except for the Qarluqs who are still ostracized, all the warriors will strive to be present, even the guy who is not interested in military affairs, who was fooled by Lao Luo to design a repeater, will also listen, not to mention the children who are beginning to integrate and like this big family......

That's right, for the children who used to live on the streets, this team is like a big family, there are warm aunts like mothers, tall uncles like white bears, big sisters who like to twist people's ears, and green-eyed dead faces who always like to train people......

Lao Luo actually understands very well that although he encountered some incomprehensible supernatural things in this world, and was sure that he would not be able to return to the original time and space in a short time, he could only try to adapt to this world, and then think about how to make himself more familiar with things.

He walked thousands of miles all the way, and his impact on the world was not great, because he had never stayed in any place for a long time, and he couldn't talk about how much he knew about the world, but he believed that there must be another side of the world hidden in the fog of history that he didn't understand - throughout the ages, has there been less history that has been tampered with? I don't know how many unknown things have been buried by the ashes of history, and I don't know how many mysterious and weird things have been artificially hidden.

He said that he would go to the East to be a king, but how could this kind of thing be so easy, the time and place were favorable, and everything was necessary. There must always be a goal in life, and setting a high-end goal is better than a low one, at least you will not become confused after reaching the goal in the short term.

To be conservative, at least when he goes to the East, he can be a lord, as he once told Elhesyn. So the early preparation of manpower is almost the same, and what he is doing now is to cultivate the seeds, with his thoughts, or with the seeds of his knowledge......
