When studying at the Army Academy, the military history of Chinese dynasties was a compulsory course, and Genghis Khan was called a god-man by the world's leading researchers. It was Temujin who put an end to the era of steppe tribal warfare and unified the forces of the tribes to establish a powerful Mongol Empire. His political advocacy and military talent enabled him to experience more than 60 battles in his life, and he never tasted defeat. (The Battle of the Thirteen Wings is a tactical evasion and cannot be called a defeat, and you will not see the Long March of the Red Army.) Of course, Mongolia is a nomadic people, and its statecraft is restricted by national culture, so the protagonist can only learn from it, not copy it. ）

With a preliminary idea, Ma Su urgently needed to understand the current situation of each tribe, including political, economic, military and other aspects, only in this way could he consider the next issues. And the eldest brother Paul has followed his father for many years, and as a contender for the future patriarch, he must have understood something.

"Big brother, how many people are in our Orexi tribe?" Ma Su decided to start with his own tribe, which was the capital and had to be figured out.

Maybe Paul needs to talk under the pressure of many years, or maybe he subconsciously no longer treats his five-year-old brother as a child, and patiently answers a lot of questions from Ma Su, until he finds out that it is very late, he gets up and leaves, and tells Ma Su to go home early. After Paul left, Massu fell into deep thought, and today he was exposed to a lot of information, although it was not comprehensive, but he already had a vague outline in his mind.

Just as Masu and Leon were about to leave, the door was pushed open from the outside for the second time, and a tower-like teenager walked in, with that ugly face like a demon out of hell. This person is Gunnes who was bullied during the day, the clothes on his body are not good, but there is no injury on his face, of course, Ma Su and they will not take a closer look, it is too ugly.

"Why are you here, I don't need you to thank you for the daytime, we didn't make a move because of you!" Leon's face was impatient, and what he thought was a secret gathering place was broken into one after another, which was like wearing open crotch pants without knowing it, which was very frustrating.

Ma Su waved his hand to stop Leon from talking, and said curiously: "You came to us, is there something wrong?" ”

"I want to learn from you."

“**！ You've been eavesdropping on the outside, and Paul didn't notice you? "Lyon is a fast learner.

"When I saw him, I hid and was not found." Gearns said with a smug voice.

"It seems that he is not as stupid as he seems!" Ma Su said secretly, and then took Leon's hand and walked outside the house, "Tomorrow dawn, threshing floor." ”

The two didn't see it, and when Ma Su agreed, Gunns's eyes were full of light, like a different person, like a wooden fool.

"Why promise him, this coward, I get angry when I see him." Leon asked, puzzled.

"Didn't you say it, let me take you to practice martial arts?"

"I'm talking about us people, what qualifications does he have as a civilian!"

"His father was a warrior."

"The glory of his father's generation has nothing to do with him, he is just a!"

"Leon, the safety of our tribe needs these civilians to guard together, without them, we are not enough on our own, you have to figure this out." Ma Su said seriously, "Okay, hurry back, if you want to learn, tomorrow morning at the threshing floor, my brother." ”

When I sneak out at night, my parents are already asleep, and there is no entertainment for people at this time, except you know! Ma Su cautiously slipped into his room, washed his face and feet, and lay down on his wooden bed. The nasty mosquitoes immediately surrounded him, and Ma Su had to apply mosquito repellent water to his body, which he made from the leaves of a plant, and the effect was average, but it was better than nothing.

In the quiet night, Ma Suping lay on the bed, recalling the conversation with Paul tonight and sorting out his thoughts. Through the narration of the eldest brother, although the content is limited, Ma Su's understanding of this era is further clear.

The first is the structure of the tribe: each tribe is made up of the patriarch's kinship, the large clan nobles, the commoners (the poor), and the slaves. The clan is the management, and the power of the clan leader is controlled by the elders in the clan, so some big decisions in the clan need to be supported by the majority of the elders.

secondly, the economic aspect; With agriculture as the main source of economy, animal husbandry as the auxiliary, there is no coin, and barter. Agriculture is dominated by wheat, barley, and sorghum, but also olives and flax, and grapes are also cultivated in some tribes. Animal husbandry is dominated by cattle, horses, donkeys, sheep, pigs and chickens, and fur is the main winter material and is very popular. The handicraft industry is underdeveloped, and the level of metallurgy is low.

Military aspect: The tribes basically did not form regular troops, and generally went into battle and worked in truces. The soldiers of the Provisional Forces were recruited from relatives, clans and civilians, brought their own weapons, and the poor (proletarian civilians) and slaves did not participate in the fighting in principle. The provisional forces were placed under the command of the patriarchs and military commanders, so that the soldiers would not know the soldiers, and the fighting strength and discipline of the troops could be imagined.

The analysis of this information is very complicated, and it feels like there is nowhere to start, but after Ma Su's own combing, it is much easier to use the method of contradiction analysis.

The current environment is full of tribes around it, and the potential danger is the mighty Rome. The first thing Ma Su has to face is the invasion of other tribes, and only by surviving can he think about more things. And if you want to survive, you have to make yourself stronger, you need a lot of money, things and people, and accumulate enough capital to gain a foothold in the troubled times.

The income of the tribe should have come mainly from farming and war and plunder. At present, his tribe is on the defensive, so he can only find a way to solve the problem of eating the tribe in farming. As for trade, do the tribes have something to trade right now? That iron ore can solve the trade problem, but unfortunately it's not yours, and you can fight it in the future.

The so-called no investigation, no voice! Now that he has a direction, Ma Su decided to go on a field trip next and think of a way according to the actual situation, it is useless to think too much now. In a drowsy state, Ma Su fell asleep, the moon was in the sky outside the window, and the moonlight shrouded the world like flowing water, but will this world still be the same as the one in the previous life?

The next morning, Ma Su woke up from his sleep and walked out of the room, greeted by fresh air. After washing his face in the yard, Ma Su went out to the threshing floor.

The threshing floor in the center of the town is about half the size of a football field, and the ground is very flat. In addition to drying grain, it was also a place for battle mobilization and various large celebrations, and his uncle Molian often practiced here with a number of crosses on one side of the field, which Ma Su had seen soldiers practice fighting.
