Section 27 Blindfolded Donkey
After sending Li Ji back to the boy camp, Lao Luo pondered, how could he be at a loss in the face of some women's ridicule like a hairy boy? Didn't you change time and space, and your heart softened? Or is it because those women's words are too blunt? It doesn't make sense, okay, after thinking about it for a long time, Lao Luo found that he had indeed never experienced a similar scene, although the women of later generations were bold, but they would never say such things on a crowded occasion, even if they were bold white-skinned golden-haired women.
Looking back and thinking about it again, Lao Luo also understood, what Li Ji didn't say was that thousands of women began to cry sadly because they were worried about where they would be sold to become a female trick in the women's shop, and now they were told that they would arrange to marry, which was already an unexpected thing, let alone marrying soldiers who looked stout and powerful? Who to marry has never been a matter of your own decision, but now you can at least see the approximate goal, how can you not go crazy?
So thousands of women became what Lao Luo saw, and of course they became the motivation of the sergeants.
But in Lao Luo's view, this is just the first step, but now these thousands of women can't let them be idle, otherwise it will not be motivation, but the seedlings of chaos.
After talking to Li Ji about the engagement plan and appeasing the fire lady, Lao Luo sent Nuralman to directly call the family camp manager Dou Mo and the leader of the guard Qu Mnaqi, "Dou Lao, the women in the family camp still want you to bother to manage it, such a mess can't be done, is there any way?" ”
Lao Luo no longer follows the characteristics of this era, and calls people completely according to his own habits, anyway, for these Tang people who have survived in Central Asia for 200 years, he is a wanderer who has returned from a distant continent, and there are some differences in words and words, and no one will be blindly suspicious.
"Hmm...... Arrange some things for them to do, and then raise some requirements, so that no kind of little lady can marry into a Tang family. "If you don't say that ginger is old and spicy, an old guy like Dou Mill who has experienced many years of ups and downs will definitely not be as simple as a veteran, and the idea he said is in one sentence.
"You're right, just do it!" Dou Miao's proposal is in Lao Luo's arms, for the army that pays attention to control as the first element, any uncontrolled factors cannot exist, "Those women are mostly from nomadic tribes, there must be a lot of people who can weave blankets, go back and collect some wool, knit some blankets It's no problem, it doesn't matter, they have to learn by themselves, this matter has to be hard Dou Lao's staring." Also, find someone to teach them Chinese, those who don't know Chinese are not allowed to marry, and when they go to the East, no one can understand the dialect of a small tribe, that is not possible. ”
"You have to order, General Luo, don't worry, this matter is handed over to me, I don't believe it, and I can't control this group of Sogdian ladies!" Dou Milling was born in the army, and his words are naturally a refreshing style.
"And one more question, what religion do these women follow?" Lao Luo is very sensitive to this kind of thing, especially the Green Sect who is good at brainwashing, it is difficult for the women in the camp to find the shadow of the black robe of the later generations from the clothing, and he can't tell which ethnic group they are, don't make a few religious madmen mess up in their own camp.
"General Hui, the teachings of the Abbasids and the teachings of the Abbasid religion have nothing to do with women, and the women here are basically with their husbands' families, so they don't have to worry about any sectarian chaos." Dou Mo obviously understood what Lao Luo was worried about, and what he said still went straight to the core issue.
Lao Luo looked deeply at the stubborn old guy in front of him, the veteran who once quarreled outside the barracks for dozens of acres of land is obviously a person with a story. But now is clearly not a good time to ask. He didn't thank him, he just nodded silently, this kind of thing doesn't matter who asks whom, it's all for the collective to be able to return to the East smoothly, he, the helmsman, has to think carefully, and other people must also cooperate with the specific work, there is no room for bargaining.
"Mnachi, a group of crazy women next to you, tell your soldiers, pay attention to maintaining discipline, you haven't reached the east yet, everything is carried out according to the standards of the march! Also, take care of their lower bodies, if something bad happens, I will castrate them directly! "When I was in the family camp, Lao Luo noticed that the soldiers in the family camp did not work at all, although it was not mandatory not to walk around during the lunch break, but the function of maintaining basic order was not fulfilled, if the enemy took advantage of this negligence to attack, who could have time to be on guard?
Mnachi, who answered loudly, didn't feel wronged, he was indeed a little lazy on the road recently, and he was already mentally prepared to be trained on the way he was called.
Lao Luo Ke did not have persecution paranoia, but just poked the weakness of the Turks, if he guessed correctly, the Turks must have received the news, and it is estimated that they are choosing people to eat like mad dogs at this time. Alke led people to explore the surroundings, and it was inevitable that there would be omissions, the number of cavalry schools was still too small, and if there was an emergency, it would inevitably be necessary to come to the rescue.
So you have to be careful.
After sending Dou Mo and Mu Naqi back to be busy, Lao Luo ordered someone to invite Cheng Shouru, "Lao Cheng, what's going on with the soldiers in your garrison camp?" If you don't have a good rest in your spare time, it's not good to surround the women. ”
"Those bastards are like grass growing in their hearts, they are all fucking bastards, and a few words of laughter with the little lady are more important than eating!" The current situation is actually not easy at all, and Cheng Shouru understands it very well, but he really has no good way to manage the soldiers, because those soldiers who are surrounding the family camp are running over during the prescribed lunch break, and there is no rule in military discipline that you are not allowed to move around in non-wartime.
Lao Luo pondered for a while, if it was usually this kind of thing, it would be harmless, but at present, this kind of rush is different, such a mess must not be connived at, he knows this kind of thing better than anyone else, there is no rule constraint, no matter how strict the team is, it will become a mess of loose sand, "In this way, you go back and inform me, I will ask Siddeck Nord to send someone to come forward and record all the people who often run to the woman's side to hang out, and all the people recorded on the list will be ranked last when arranging marriages, The relentless guy catches a few typical examples and gives them a taste of a blindfolded donkey. ”
Hearing the word blindfolded donkey, Cheng Shouru couldn't help but shudder. That thing is not a fun thing, I don't know how the big guy in front of me came up with it, I made a pair of inverted leather armor connected to the helmet, put it on the person who was punished, blindfolded the eyes and ears and plugged it, only the mouth and nose were exposed, and the leather armor could bind people's arms, and the loops were all behind him, and no one could help to untie it.
"It's just that the sons and daughters are greedy for freshness, so they don't want to use that kind of thing, right?" Thinking of the miserable appearance of a few unlucky ghosts who had enjoyed the hospitality of that thing, Cheng Shouru felt the hairs on his arms stand up when he spoke.
Lao Luo didn't think so, "The punishment of the blindfolded donkey doesn't hurt anyone, it's just uncomfortable for a few days, the soldiers' eyes and ears are greedy for freshness, and it's not a good thing to forget their duties, it is estimated that this problem can't be solved with a whip, so you might as well try the effect of the blindfolded donkey." Aren't the two guys who were punished last time honest? Lao Cheng, you just go down and see if any of those guys who have grass in their hearts are willing to help experiment with the new equipment. ”
The so-called blindfolded donkey, is a kind of punishment similar to confinement, because there is no way to carry a small black house during the march, so a punishment similar to a corset was thought out by Lao Luo, of course, this kind of corset is not a simple thing made of fabric, but a combination of iron frame and cowhide, the head of the person except for the mouth and nose all covered things, the loop buckle is all behind the body, the iron frame fixes the range of motion of the big arm, the person who wears this thing does not affect walking, even if the horse can be tied to the back of the horse, There is no physical harm, but it is difficult for a cow to bear its restraint for three days, and the double punishment of the blind and the deaf and dumb is not something that everyone can bear.
Feeling Lao Luo's determination to insist, Cheng Shouru couldn't bear it, as long as that thing wasn't used on himself, it was better than anything else, "Okay, I feel uncomfortable looking at that thing with a blindfolded donkey, you General Luo has the final say, I'll announce it as soon as I go back, whoever wants to be an unlucky ghost can try it himself." ”
"Lao Cheng, don't say that I am bent on going my own way, there is not far ahead to Mashhad, there are Abbasids, although it is unlikely that the Turks will cause any trouble in their holy city, but everything is in case, and they will never be afraid of us because of the loss of 10,000 people, you must be careful." Looking at the expression of the man on the door panel, Lao Luo didn't want to have any misunderstanding, and explained casually, "You have to hurry up when you go back, and keep an eye on the people in the garrison camp to train more in the form of a circular formation, if there is a battle in the future, maybe the cavalry school will not be able to take care of it, and the garrison camp will play a role." ”
The so-called combination of circular arrays, is ten or twenty partial vans as a group of round formations, many circular formations of dogs and teeth echo each other, is a means of coping with cavalry raids, mainly used in the march of the team, mainly because the convoy is long, it is difficult to do the beginning and end of the march even if it echoes the formation of a complete round city, then dispersed to form a circle formation is the best way, more than 500 side vans plus almost the same number of four-wheeled carriages can form at least dozens of such circles, At the beginning of the battle, these circles will be transformed into hedgehogs with teeth open under the mobilization of the garrison battalion, and when they are well organized, it is impossible to shake such a monster without more than 20,000 cavalry numbering in order.
"Cheng, we have been training for a long time, if the Turks dare to come, let them see how powerful we are!" On the way out of Sylvan, he has never stopped training along the way, and speaking of this, Cheng Shouru is of course confident.
Lao Luo glanced at the man on the door panel, and did not suppress the other party's excitement, "Lao Cheng, don't be careless, if the Turks come to find trouble again, it will never be a small fight of a hundred and ten people......
Indeed, according to the background of this era, the whole of Central Asia was a place where the Turks were galloping, and they were bitten hard by the migrating Tang people by surprise, how could they not retaliate?
