The air in the first millennium A.D. was so good, Lao Luo lay on his back on the beach with his hands behind his head, feeling the noon sun in late spring and early summer, and the fragrance of wild grass and flowers in the breeze, sighing quite comfortably.

A little further away from the shore, there are many alfalfa blooming purple flowers, and horses such as Black Cloud are freely savoring the sweetness of spring on the grass.

The noise of the warriors was heard in my ears, and the fellows were now dividing into two teams to pierce the fish with spears in the sea, because they had come up with a theory that fishing with a net was not a skill, so it was what it was. There are those who catch fish around, those who stand in the water to catch fish, those who swim skillfully to drive fish from a distance, and of course, those who skim on the edge and applaud.

The brawny men who couldn't let go at the beginning are now immersed in this kind of playful competition, and even the reluctant Al Hesian is playing to his strengths, explaining the principle of refraction of water ripples and guiding the entry point of the falling spear. From time to time, there were bursts of swearing or cheers from the crowd, and the guys from the boot camp and their families who had been released to free roam also chose a side to act as vassals.

Children learn to swim in short clothes and shorts with cowhide and sheepskin bags tied around the waist, and the little heads with horns or loose hair are set against the white skins, which looks very interesting. In addition to two or three teams of people who were tired of playing, some picked up shells and crabs on the beach, and the others acted as cheerleaders because they liked to be lively and stared at the fierce beasts fluttering by the sea with their immature voices.

said that he wanted to teach children to learn to swim, but Lao Luo was self-aware, he couldn't be a good dad for this glorious and great second career. He knows all the skills of killing, and he also understands all the tricks of saving people, but he is far from the ability to teach and coax people. So after arriving at the beach, Lao Luo didn't get close to the group of children at all, but the young Cui Shibalang was called by Li Ji, this hippie smiling boy who likes to have fun acts as the captain of the boy scout army to save the children, and he can be regarded as a good person.

Lao Luo likes children, and he is quite a child, but the children after the age of thirteen or thirteen are effective, and it is useless to deal with three or five-year-old children, and the children of his eldest brother's family were scared by him to cry more than once or twice when they were young, and the little girls of this era can only be said to be exceptional, and those orphans who are now adopted are more respectful and afraid of Lao Luo, as well as restraint.

The white clouds in the sky are long, and Lao Luo on the beach is in a trance and dreams.

The environment with children screaming is the most peaceful and joyful, and Lao Luo can't remember the last time he experienced such a period of peace. It seems to be at the Naadam conference in the homeland grassland, or on the football field outside the South American training camp, or in the church school in the East African grasslands......

Peace is always short-lived, and Lao Luo has been walking in the middle of war and on the brink of war all year round, and he has a deep sense of crisis. There are ethnic separatists in the steppe, drug lords outside the South American training camps, and ethnic separatists outside the East African church schools.

But power is always questioned as brutal or dictatorial, and human beings are always hovering between the unity and dispersion of interests, and this core has never changed from thousands of years ago to thousands of years later. What has changed is only the form of existence of interests, covering all things in the world, from material to spiritual, from the most primitive food disputes to the differences of ideas in later generations, this evolution has never stopped, because human desires have never stopped.

Lao Luo, who is familiar with military history, knows that the evolution of the world is not actually certain, but there will be many branches, especially this era is a world of fierce evolution, and it is likely that the occurrence of an event or the reversal of a war can change the direction of the times. This kind of event that can get a turning point is found in both the East and the West, and Lao Luo's ambition is to dominate this turn of events, and it starts from the East.

Moreover, the main reason why Lao Luo did not stay in Europe was that he did not have a sense of national belonging, and his skin color determined that he was more likely to be recognized in the East, which was also a guarantee that his spirit and ideas could be continued in the future. He Lao Luo is not the inheritor of the so-called internationalism of the universal values of later generations, and certainly not a pure nationalist, he is just a believer in the power of the strong to perpetuate the strong and dominate the world.

Of course, according to the records, it was the beginning of the Dark Middle Ages, and Europe was not a suitable place to stay, and the Black Death and the plague that ravaged Europe for centuries were also the existence that Lao Luo did not want to touch. In his eyes, the so-called Black Death is as difficult to solve as the Ebola virus that ravaged Africa, he carried out mercenary missions in Africa, and watched the suffering of those who were sick, and death on the battlefield was inescapable, but he did not want to touch the life and death interpretation controlled by this tiny creature at all.

The earliest Black Death epidemic was recorded in the sixth century A.D., and had nothing to do with the Mongol invasion of the west, and the second epidemic in the record was in the fourteenth century, but from the chaotic records of European history, I am afraid that only the true gods can determine how many plagues occurred in the middle, and Lao Luo never believed the mouth of the experts.

There are too many so-called experts in later generations, public opinion has become entertainment, cats and dogs dare to say something on stage, and the miscellaneous talk and sophistry are like the excrement of a carp crossing the river. He believes that the so-called peaceful rise is just a joke after all, and the strength of the economy does not mean the strength of the country, the nation and the culture, no matter what era it is, the blind pursuit of wealth and ignoring the use of force can only be the end of the line, no matter how rich the country has no strength to protect itself, it can only be a castle on the beach, and it will collapse at the touch of a button. This is true of the CHN of later generations, and the same is true of the Song Dynasty of this era.

Lao Luo couldn't go back to his home country CHN in later generations, and of course in this era, he didn't want to have a Song kingdom tied to his head and point fingers, because he was destined to be a submissive citizen of the feudal dynasty, let alone a military general who was restrained by the emperor as a pig. During this period, the Liao Kingdom suffered serious attrition, and the contradictions between the Khitans and the Han people could not be resolved at all, and it was also not a place where he could settle down.

Then there are not many options to choose from, Western Xia may be a good place, but the Dingyan Army supported by the party nobles is a regime without complete political propositions, if Lao Luo is not mistaken, Li Jiqian died of injuries last year, and it should be Li Deming who is the master of the difficult army, Li Jiqian's son, backed by the Yeli family's Tuoba Li family to begin the policy of de-sinicization.

Lao Luo had no choice, and the first opponent he faced after returning to the East was the Tuoba nobles, as he had discussed with Al Hesyn, it was only right to create a territory, and this was the way to the monarch.

Khotan, located on the Silk Road Pass in the Green Mountains, is now in a weakened period, and the Tocharians are facing a Turkic invasion from the Qarakhanid Kingdom, both of which will be enemies. At least 3,000 kilometers from the Sylvan Plain to the Green Ridge, Cheng Shouru's city guards could only be used to protect the families of the Tang battalion, and whether the more than 1,000 recruits under him as a mobile force could be used at that time, Lao Luo did not know the strength of the Turkic cavalry at that time.

The Tocharians of Khotan are supposed to be the descendants of the Dayue clan, and their combat power can be understood by thinking about the fighting style of the Indians in later generations. It seems that he wants to understand the specific strength of the Turks, Lao Luo groaned with a headache, sat up from the beach, and saw that it was the fiery "javelin fishermen" who were fighting, and the recruits not far away had begun to prepare meals in an organized manner.

Ignoring the "fishermen" shouting for fish, he walked over to the recruits who were preparing their meals, and Olki and Mnachi were directing them to prepare their own marching stoves, set up deep-bottomed marching pots, and improvised barbecue stands. At noon, the meal consisted of chickpeas with wheat grains and diced meat porridge, as well as grilled fish from the nearest source.

"Lord Luo!" The recruits next to them bent over and touched their chests with their right hands when Lao Luo passed by, this is a unified etiquette that has been re-established as a whole, and the original forked hand salute and fist salute have been banned, and the new military uniform looks neat and handsome.

Lao Luo could see a sense of pride from their eyes and the looks of the surrounding family members, it seemed that his early efforts were not in vain, and this kind of customized military uniform brought a lot of sense of belonging to this newly established team.

The recruits are not currently equipped with helmets, but a uniform yellow-brown right-sided narrow-sleeved military robe, with an embroidered armband sewn on the left arm, on which is the number of the team to which they belong, because they have not participated in official battles, so almost everyone has the same sexagenary character number. The waist of the robe is a three-finger-wide cowhide belt, which has a pattern specially pressed by the cobbler and a copper ornament, and there is a hanging belt for hanging a scimitar behind the belt and a hook belt for hanging water bladders.

The recruits' trousers all adopt the tailoring method of later generations, wide body hypertrophy, and even have outer patch pockets, calf patch pockets (this place is where the leg fork is placed, that is, a small dagger), with beige cowhide thick soles with breathable holes, this set of Lao Luo's design of the first set of training clothes and regular clothes looks much more handsome than the robes of the later Turks. Of course, there is no way to choose the color, the dyeing techniques of this era are not as diverse as those of later generations, and the topographical features of Central Asia are still honestly chosen to choose this protective color.

"Master!" The white-skinned Orgie and the dark-skinned Mnaki walked over and saluted Lao Luo neatly, looking at the standardized movements and being chic and handsome, very similar to the professional officers of later generations, but the names in their mouths made Lao Luo frown a little.

Lao Luo also stroked his chest and saluted back, and said very seriously: "Don't use names other than the army when you salute in the future, especially when you wear military uniforms, of course, you are casual in private." ”

When the army was established from the beginning, it was necessary to ensure its rigor, etiquette, titles, and costumes were a complete set of norms, which helped to improve the soldier's sense of belonging and honor, otherwise after the evolution of time, it would easily become no different from the people.
