After half a month, Qin Dong's newly acquired large territory has been on the right track, the executive agency is performing its functions normally, and the newly recruited soldiers are also carrying out the training of recruits in various cities, Qin Dong is in Pazar's thousand-mile mansion every day to deal with official documents from various towns, because Qin Dong can't read Latin and Greek, he can only speak speaking, and when dealing with official documents, he can only let his assistants read the official documents, and then he makes oral decisions, and the assistants write his handling opinions in Latin, This is unique in the Xiongnu Empire, because there is no writing, the officials of the Xiongnu Empire have no official documents at all, to convey orders and policies, all by oral transmission, and Qin Dong is the first official to use official documents, although it is borrowed from the Latin of the Roman Empire, but there are also official documents, isn't it? Even though Greek was spoken by the people, including the Eastern Roman Empire, the official language was still Latin, and the upper class would be ridiculed for not knowing Latin.

It was necessary to speed up the spread of the Chinese language, Qin Dong ordered that all officials must learn Chinese, and asked Zhong Hui and others to compile a set of teaching materials in their spare time, and after the compilation of the textbooks was completed, they would copy many copies and distribute them to the officials, so that those Han people who could read and write could teach them Chinese.

At the same time, Qin Dong ordered those literate Han Chinese to do nothing but teach, they were assigned to open schools in various towns, so that all school-age children could go to school, and the government also managed lunch, and this was a mandatory order, if there were people in the family who were in school, and there were people who could read and write, then they would be exempted from taxes and forced labor, and this policy was introduced. The people in the jurisdiction are very supportive of letting their children go to school to read and write, after all, in this era, literate people are very respectable, why did the barbarians not have confidence in front of the Roman Empire? After the Great Migration of Peoples began. The barbarians began to establish their own states all over Europe, but they still only called their kingdoms kingdoms, and all revered the Roman Empire as their suzerain? The head of the Roman Empire was an emperor, and their head was only a king? The civilization of the Roman Empire was higher than theirs, because they were well aware that many of their cultures were inherited from the Roman Empire, so much so that the Holy Roman Empire appeared later in the Middle Ages.

After the spread of civilization was taken very seriously here in Qin Dong. Those literate Han Chinese were full of energy and rushed to the towns to find the local consuls, who had Qin Dong's warrants in their hands. The local consuls were so supportive that they did not pay for them to build schools, and they hired people to help copy the textbooks.

In order to facilitate the children's literacy, Qin Dong had to tinker with Chinese pinyin. And taught those literate Han people. Hanyu Pinyin is very easy to learn, this is the foundation, as long as you learn Hanyu Pinyin well, you can basically be literate by yourself, after Hanyu Pinyin is tinkered out, the teaching of honest people is much easier, students in addition to listening to the teacher in the classroom, but also can learn by themselves at other times.

In order to speed up the spread of the Chinese language, Qin Dong also appointed an education official. An educational institution was established in the offices of the Archon, and the Department of Education was responsible for all cultural indoctrination in the area under its jurisdiction. And let it work closely with Wang Liu's organization.

Qin Dong hoped that officials would be able to learn as much as they could, and that they would only be able to recognize most of the Chinese characters in two years, and be able to read proficiently, and even be able to compose, as long as they reached this level, Chinese would be able to appear as an official language in official documents.

Just when Qin Dong was busy with the spread of the Chinese language, a bad news came, a copper mine and an iron mine at the foot of the Lila Mountain were attacked by the Germans in the south, the officials and twenty soldiers in charge of the overseers were killed by the Germans who attacked them, and more than a dozen slaves were also killed, and more than 100 freemen who volunteered to go to the mines were all taken away by the captives, and the copper ore and iron ore dug up during this time were all taken away by the Germans.

After the incident, the news was quickly brought back by a freeman who escaped, and after getting the news, Qin Dong summoned the freeman who fled back to ask for some details in person, and then summoned the officers to the lobby of the commander's mansion to discuss matters, and the main officers rushed over one after another.

After everyone arrived, Qin Dong walked to the main seat from the back with a stern expression, sat down, and then nodded to Liu San beside him, and Liu San got Qin Dong's permission to start ending the situation.

“…… That's the way it is, our two minerals are at the foot of the mountain in the western section of the Rila Mountain, and only the Germans behind the western section of the mountain will sneak up there, the leader of the Germanic tribe is Hor, his tribe has more than 10,000 Germanic people, more than 1,300 soldiers, we ambushed and lost 300 cavalry a few months ago, but then a lot of infantry was replenished, now there are 400 cavalry, 900 infantry, they have a town, the area is not large, just behind the mountain in the western section of the Rila Mountain, called Kupa City, These 10,000 are scattered among the surrounding villages of Koopa City, and the chieftain Hall, who lives in Koopa City, has three garrisons on Rila Hill to keep an eye on us! ”

Liu San, as Qin Dong's personal chief confidential secretary, first introduced the situation, and asked people to carry a map made of sheepskin, and explained the presence of Germanic troops on the map one by one.

After Liu San's introduction, Qin Dong said: "There are three Germanic tribes in the southwest and south, these Germanic people are not as good as the Eastern Romans, they are sometimes more ferocious than us, if we want to develop with peace of mind, we must drive them away, or even eradicate them, I always feel that they are henchmen, they are stuck in the southwest and south, we can only trade with the Eastern Roman Empire in the east, and the merchants can only come from the east, not only can the south not pass through guò, but also after they are caught, the goods will be gone, People have also become slaves, I have always wanted to eradicate these three Germanic tribes, but there has never been a suitable time, and now that the time is ripe, they have angered us again, killed so many of us, robbed so many freemen, and robbed of ore, it is time for us to strike at them, and the elimination of the Germanic people in the south will not only relieve our henchmen. Moreover, it was able to open up trade routes, so that merchants from the Greek provinces of the Eastern Roman Empire would not need to go around a large circle to Pazar in the future, and merchants from North Africa could also take ships directly from Alexandria to the Greek provinces. Then go north to Pazar, there is no need to take a detour to Constantinople, our trade will be more developed! ”

Muren stood up and saluted, "My lord, I don't know how to deal with the Germans in the south?" ”

Qin Dong got up and walked to the map and said, "You see, there are two ways to attack Hall's territory, and there are two ways to pull up to the west in a detour. Straight down the foothills of the mountains to the west of the Rila Mountains, but there are many of Hall's troops stationed in this area. It will take a lot of time to uproot one by one, and these three Germanic tribes have always advanced and retreated together, and if we attack one, the other two tribes will send reinforcements. Help each other. And the terrain behind the Rila Mountains is not conducive to our cavalry operations, if the battle situation is deadlocked, it will be a war of attrition, the Germans can be all soldiers under special circumstances, this is the same as our Hun Empire, I don't want to fight a war of attrition, although we will be victorious, but the cost is too great. We're going to lose more than we lose, and I'm going to stop beating Hall first. Instead, he directly hit Razlog's fortress of Razlog, Oddoace has the least number of troops, this person is very capable, he just has few soldiers, if there are many soldiers, I can't fight him lightly, let's capture Razlog first, and then send heavy troops to garrison Razlog, as long as these three tribes unite to attack Razlog, we will take advantage of the fact that most of their main force has been transferred to the south of Razlog, send an army to raid from the west, break through the city of Kupa first, and kill Hall! ”

All the officers stood up and said in unison: "Please give the order!" ”

Qin Dong said: "Okay, this attack on Lazlog will be led by me personally, Toron will lead 300 archers and 200 light cavalry, Faisal will bring 1,000 light infantry, Wang Liu will be responsible for the construction of heavy logistics and siege equipment with me, and the other will be the commander of the shepherds, with 200 archers and 200 light cavalry, plus 1,000 light infantry, and 200 heavy infantry will rush to Pana to assemble and stand by, just wait for my military order to be issued, and immediately wave his army south along the west side of the Lila Mountain to attack into Hall's lair, Wang Liu remembers to send craftsmen to his army to build siege equipment”。

Everyone said in unison: "Your Excellency's order!" ”

After the battle order was given, the officers went back to prepare, for the siege battle, Pazar did not have enough infantry, and needed to be transferred from other cities and army garrisons, such as Faisal's 1,000 infantry, which needed to be transferred from the mountains two hundred kilometers to the east, which was slower, while the other cavalry was much faster.

The army attacking Lozlag was to assemble at the camp south of Pazar in two days, and to advance as fast as possible under the city of Lazlog.

In the afternoon, after Qin Dong finished dealing with political affairs, he called Charlie Cao, Charlie Cao is now busy recruiting believers everywhere, he can't help but sell his life, there are not only shamanic shamans here, but also Christian priests, and even some other miscellaneous religious people have their own believers, even the priests sent by Patriarch Anadorius of Constantinople already have a few believers, and he doesn't have one, how can this work? He came here to preach, to carry forward Taoism, how can he carry forward Taoism without believers?

"My lord, you are polite!" Charlie Cao made a mockery.

Qin Dong said with a smile: "Come on, come on, Dao Chief, please sit down, you and I are fellow villagers, don't be so restrained, I heard that you have been preaching recently, I don't know what the effect is?"

Charlie Cao shook his head and sighed: "Hey, it's not too easy to preach on the side of the Westerners, there are many ethnic groups here, and there are many languages, and many times what I say can't be understood by others!" I haven't finished my teachings yet, and people are getting impatient! ”

"Hahaha......" Qin Dong laughed, and only after laughing did he say: "Daoist, sometimes preaching doesn't need you to say anything, it depends on what you do, a miracle is more useful than saying a thousand ways and ten thousand!" ”

Charlie Cao's eyes lit up: "What do you mean by ......?" ”

"That's right, many people here are ignorant, as long as you cast a few so-called spells, there will naturally be people who believe in you and believe in your sect, as long as you choose some people from those who worship you who can understand Chinese, Greek, or Latin as your disciples, you will be half the battle, these people can spread your teachings in their language to other people, and your teachings must be acceptable to others, at least not disgusted, and will be accepted sooner or later over time, so that Presumably, the great cause of the Taoist missionary is bound to achieve twice the result with half the effort! ”

Charlie Cao slapped his thigh: "Yes, my lord is really wise, Poor Dao said goodbye first!" As he spoke, he immediately went to show his spells to the inhabitants.

Qin Dong grabbed him and said, "Dao Chang go slowly, I still have something to look for you, do you have saltpeter and sulfur there?" ”

"Of course there is, this is a necessary thing for alchemy, how can you do alchemy without these two things?" Charlie Cao said, but he was very puzzled: "Adults need these two things?" ”

Qin Dong said: "Yes, you can get me some of everything, find some charcoal, and I'll play a little trick for you today!" ”

Charlie Cao didn't expect Qin Dongxiang to play tricks in front of him, isn't this dancing a big knife in front of Guan Gong? However, he still agreed: "Okay, Poor Dao wants to see what the adult's tricks are, and which is higher or lower than Poor Dao's tricks!" Wait a minute, adults! ”

"I'm waiting for you at the little dirt bag ten miles outside the East City Gate!" Qin Dong shouted at Charlie Cao's back.

Qin Dong waited for half an hour with some guards under a small earthen bag ten miles outside the East City Gate before Charlie Cao rode over slowly on a mule.

"Dao Chief, did you bring something?" Qin Dong saw Charlie Cao coming over, so he got up to meet him.

Charlie Cao jumped off the mule, took a burden from the mule's back and brought it over: "Bring it!" I don't know how much you want, I'll bring half of it! ”

Qin Dong took the package, opened it without saying a word, there were several small packets wrapped in sheepskin in the baggage, Qin Dong opened them one by one, sure enough, it was saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal, Qin Dong immediately asked several soldiers to grind these three things into powder, after the grinding was completed, Qin Dong distributed it into a portion according to the proportion of black powder, and then mixed and stirred evenly, poured the proportioned mixture into a clay pot, and then filled some iron and iron filings in the clay pot, rubbed a very long lead and inserted it into it, and sealed the mouth of the clay pot.

Tell a soldier to place the pot in a sheepfold with a few sheep on a leash, and then ask the soldier to light the fuse and run away.

Charlie Cao didn't know why, and was asking, "My lord, what kind of trick are you going to do?" ”

There was a loud "boom", and before Charlie Cao finished speaking, he was so frightened that he fell down on the spot, and the other soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they prostrated on the ground one by one and shouted: "God, God is angry!" (To be continued......)
