The wind blows fiercely on the grassland. As far as the eye can see, there is a scene of grass and trees growing. To the north of Angulinao Lake, more than 2,300 Xi tribesmen have settled by the lake. Regarding Xi Ministry's movements, Li Chongjiu is obviously very concerned. As soon as the Xi tribesmen gathered, Li Chongjiu, Wang Mahan, and Tanzong rode their horses to the hillside to observe.
According to the original agreement, the two sides of Hu and Han are divided by Angulinao Lake, and the camp of the Xi Department lives on the back of the lake, and the outer ring is connected by Xi carts, connected by cable heads, and the ring is double.
According to the custom of the five departments of the Xi Department, outside the military tent of the Jin Ministry, it is necessary to '500 people holding soldiers to guard the tent', and the rest are scattered everywhere, but the room knows the current situation, and it is good to have 50 people in the middle to guard.
After Dazhai was established, the Xi people set up a cattle and sheep pen. As a nomadic people, the main business of the Xi people is herding, supplemented by hunting, and occasionally a small number of people carry out agricultural farming.
Of course, Xiren's farming is the most basic slash-and-burn farming.
From the perspective of ethnic origin, the Xi people are a branch of Donghu. In the northeast of the Qin and Han dynasties, there were three tribes: Donghu, Hui and Shen. After the Hui Dynasty, in addition to being annexed by other tribes, most of them merged with the Buyeo people, and they are the current Goguryeo people, and Su Shen is now the Seven Tribes of the Jin Dynasty.
As for Donghu, it is the ethnic group east of the Xiongnu, and after being defeated by the Xiongnu, they lived in Wuhuan Mountain and Xianbei Mountain, becoming the source of the two major ethnic groups.
Not to mention the Xianbei and Rouran clans, now several neighbors near Li Chongjiu, Xi, Murowei, and Khitan are all after Donghu.
Even if Li Chongjiu claimed to be a soldier from Huaihuang Town, more than a quarter of them were from the Han Dynasty, Hu people, and Hu and Han blood, many of whom were originally attached to the Rouran people after the sinicization of the Northern Dynasties, and the Xianbei people after the sinicization, which were the result of the original ethnic integration of the Northern Dynasties.
"Senior brother, you are really, if you open your mouth, you have to ridicule 2,000 people, I thought there was a battle to fight." Tan Zong seemed to be dissatisfied.
Wang Mahan snorted and said, "You are content, if it weren't for the young darts to come forward, the two sides would fight, and it would be a vicious battle." ”
Tan Zong said: "I'm afraid that he will be a bird's feather, I will have an iron pestle, and no matter how much I ridicule people's heads, they will bloom together." ”
Li Chongjiu smiled, pointed at the camp of the Xi Department with a horsewhip, and said: "Although the Xi Department is attached, but the Hu people are unconvincing, and they will be bitten by him at any time. ”
"Simply, when Erniang and their brothers come back from Mobei, we will attack this group of Hu people at night and completely cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to prevent future troubles." King Mahan made a killing gesture.
Li Chongjiu waved his hand and said: "In the grassland, it will not be possible to fight and kill, if the Xi people are killed, how can there be Hu people to vote for us in the future." ”
Tanzong and Wang Mahan were all surprised when they heard it, they didn't expect Li Chongjiu to have such great ambition and ambition.
Li Chongjiu pointed to this Angulinao Lake and said: "Take this Anguli Nao Lake as the boundary, and give the 3,000 sheep that the Xi people gave us to graze in Hunan, and leave this matter to the teenagers between the ages of 12 and 20 to do, which is not enough for us to match with manpower." ”
"This spring is the season when the lamb lays, the matter of receiving the lamb is very important, it needs to be done by women and children, and the grass must keep up, the grassland people often say that the animal has three fat, the spring fat is the most important, if these sheep, in the autumn, if they can't catch the fat three fingers thick, they will all be slaughtered, otherwise they will never pass the winter."
As soon as Li Chongjiu said this, Wang Mahan and Tan Zong all nodded, and they all knew that Li Chongjiu had been asking shepherds and farmers for advice on agricultural matters in the past few days.
"After that, we will organize the elderly and women who can move to go fishing near Angulinao Lake as a short-term food aid."
"Don't we grow wheat? In a few days, the day of spring ploughing will be missed. Wang Mahan asked, as a Han people, the most important thing is, of course, farming, which is the primary productive force of the farming nation.
Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Planting wheat is wanted, but it's not the top priority, didn't Xi give us a hundred cows?" Organize 500 men to tidy up the southern slope and sow wheat seeds. ”
Steppe tribes used oxen, which were generally used for pack carts. There is a saying in the steppe that people live on horseback and families live on ox carts. Of course, cattle were more important to the farming people, and in the Sui and Tang dynasties, they were sentenced to prison for killing cattle (Note 1).
Li Chongjiu thought about it, it would not be enough to distribute manpower like this. Originally, this year, I wanted to clean up Huaihuang Town, at least make up the collapsed outer wall, and if it was attacked by other forces in the future, it could also be resisted.
You must know that as one of the six towns, Huaihuang Town, the city wall was originally built extremely strong, and if you repair it, it is a strong city, but it is a pity that among the displaced people, they are all old, weak, women and children, and there is no young and strong. It seems that the repair of the city wall can only be postponed until next year.
However, Li Chongjiu had just learned that Shanggu County, which had always been peaceful, was also in turmoil at this time.
The king of Shanggu, called himself the king of Mantian, the country name is Yan, the deputy marshal Wei Dao'er, the self-named Lishan Fei, the uprising is not more than a dozen days, that is, hundreds of thousands of people are gathered. And Yang Guang, who was in Liaodong, immediately transferred Luo Yi, who was stationed in Youzhou, to send troops to quell the rebellion. If Shanggu County rebelled, Li Chongjiu said in his heart that he should be able to obtain many people from this place who would flee to the grassland in the future, and he could even send people to gather together.
There are homeless people everywhere in troubled times, but before taking in the homeless, you must also consider your own food reserves, otherwise you will have a big head and a small hat, and you will be frozen everywhere. Li Chongjiu looked at Wang Mahan and Tanzong, who were still at a loss for what they said, and shook their heads at the moment. It's okay for these two people to fight and kill, but if they want to organize internal affairs, they will definitely not be able to help, so it is not easy to find such a job, and they can only be a panacea first.
Li Chongjiu looked at them and decided to talk about something that interested them.
"As for the three hundred horses that the Xi people gave us!" When he really heard the horses, Wang Ma Han and Tan Zong were all moved.
Li Chongjiu's current military strength stationed in Huaihuang Town is divided into two parts, the two hundred dart heroes led by Wang Mahan, as well as Li Chongjiu, the original Shaolin disciples under Tan Zong, and the two hundred and fifty young and strong people among the homeless people.
The female patriarch who learned about the room said that she wanted to let a hundred clansmen join the people, first, to show loyalty, and secondly, to save the current food, you must know that the room learned that the ministry was originally exiled here, and after giving Li Chongjiu a large number of cattle and sheep, there were not many people left. Now the days when the room learns about it are also tight. Li Chongjiu is still not very at ease with the department, if he shows the other party the truth on his side, it will be a disaster. Therefore, Li Chongjiu did not agree for the time being, he wanted to wait for the strength to become stronger, and then officially merge the room into the Huaihuang Town system.
Three hundred horses is enough for most of his subordinates to ride on horses, but not all horses can be used as war horses.
What Xi can give to the Han people is not a good horse among the tribes, among which there are not many pack horses.
Li Chongjiu said to Wang Mahan and Tan Zong: "You can distribute the war horses, don't have one horse, pick up one hundred and fifty of the best horsemen, one person with two horses, with a good horse, a pack horse equipped, and the rest as foot soldiers." ”
Li Chongjiu said this, and Tan Zong immediately said: "Senior brother, I don't want to be a cavalryman!" But a horse is needed to get around. ”
Li Chongjiu nodded, agreed, and said to Wang Mahan, Tan Zongyan: "Break up the brothers and reorganize, Brother Wang, as a cavalry captain, lead the cavalry, and the junior brother will lead the infantry when he becomes an infantry captain." ”
Seeing that there was an official work, Wang Mahan, and Tan Zong all nodded happily.
Wang Mahan immediately said: "Shao Darthead, since we are based on the grassland, then this group of brothers must have a name." ”
Li Chongjiu nodded, the so-called name is not right, the name is very important, but the calculation is very important.
Li Chongjiu decided to hold aloft my Great Heavenly Empire, a great tradition of two sides of the yamen.
Li Chongjiu said: "Although we are stationed in Huaihuang Town, but in the imperial court, we must not be regarded as a force of one side, so everyone claims to be the Li family's branch dart bureau Huaihuang dart bureau, as for the grassland tribe, the name of the dart bureau is obviously useless, we continue to wrap our heads in soap towels, and call ourselves the Cangtou Army." ”
