297, the strategy of integration [3/3 for subscription]

After subduing the rest of the Centaur tribe of Reslin, in the next few days, several small Minotaur tribes were recruited one after another. There are more than 4,000 tribesmen gathered in the camp.

This number of people has already exceeded the number of people of the Huaxu clan in the territory before Ouyang Jing went north.

So he decided to stop for the time being, and returned to the territory with nearly 4,000 minotaurs and centaurs, as well as more than 1,000 evil creatures that had been hunted one after another in these days.

The grassland people are accustomed to migration. When Ouyang Jing gave an order, the tribesmen in the camp quickly packed their bags, drove up the cattle and sheep, and began to migrate in an orderly manner.

More than 100,000 cattle and sheep, and more than 4,000 tribesmen, marched south through the Rinfeng Canyon.

As for Taniguchi's camp, Ouyang Jing did not send anyone to stay behind for various considerations, and directly before leaving, he ordered the soldiers to dismantle the camp so as not to be used by the enemy.

The road was uneventful and there were no accidents.

Just because of the large number of cattle and sheep, the migration speed is not fast. It took a week to walk before finally returning to Riverbend Territory.

Prior to this, Ouyang Jing had sent Lao Niu Gesar to lead people to take the lead and rush back to the territory to report the news.

Therefore, when he rushed back to the territory with a large group of people, his teammates had already prepared to settle the territory.

Under the command of his teammates and sisters-in-law, with the help of the Huaxu clan and the bull-headed people who had previously integrated into the territory, more than 4,000 people had settled down and been assigned jobs in just half a day.

The soldiers and slave soldiers lived in the barracks in the city.

Ordinary people made their homes outside the city. The Minotaurs were partly responsible for clearing wasteland and partly for mining in the mountains. Centaurs are partly responsible for herding cattle and sheep, and partly helping with land clearing, logging, quarrying, and transporting carts.

At dusk of the same day, all the tribesmen who had newly joined the territory, as well as the Huaxu clan, gathered in the square in front of the altar to carry out the formal ceremony of sacrificing Nuwa under the leadership of Ouyang Jing and under the auspices of Shi Feixuan, a professional religious figure.

At the same time, sacrifices are offered and new lords are summoned.

This time, the sacrifice of more than a thousand evil creatures as sacrifices summoned a full 1,500 Huaxu clansmen, all of whom had a two-star physique or higher.

And because the sacrifices offered were evil creatures hated by the grassland people, most of the Huaxu clan people who were summoned were "primitive farmers" wearing animal skins and holding wooden hoes, stone sickles and other agricultural tools, so the tribesmen who personally participated in the ceremony and witnessed the entire sacrifice process did not associate Ouyang Jing's sacrificial behavior with the demon cavalry on the grassland.

The newly summoned Huaxu clan's clothes and equipment made the grassland tribesmen feel friendly - it is said that not long ago, they also used wood and stone as tools and animal skins as clothing.

After the sacrificial ceremony, when the grassland people discussed in private, between their words, they all sincerely loved Her Majesty Emperor Wa, the "Mother Earth" who could give a large number of people.

When talking about "Mother Earth", in their minds, they no longer only regard Mother Earth as the earth under their feet, but also have a clear image of the gods in their minds - human head, human body, snake tail, dignified and sacred, beautiful and benevolent goddess.

The earth and all living beings on it were created by Her Majesty Emperor Wa, Mother Earth.

She is not only the ancestor of mankind, but also the ancestor of all good life.

With this rough understanding, when these grassland people talk about "Mother Earth" again, what comes to mind is the image of Nuwa. Mother Earth has been regarded by them as a "personal god".

As for His Royal Highness the Divine Son, who is deeply favored by the "Mother Earth", the people of the grassland are also both respectful and awe-inspiring, and at the same time, they sincerely feel that being able to become the subject of His Royal Highness the Divine Son is the most fortunate thing in their lives.

His Highness has a fertile territory that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, an inexhaustible supply of iron weapons, a tall and sturdy city, a brave warrior, a mysterious mage, and the favor of Mother Earth.

Mother Earth has bestowed upon Her Highness the Son of God infinite divine power, and has also given him the divine power to control fire, water, plants, and even metal and lightning. Let him lead the good beings against the evil that is about to sweep the earth.

Under the protection of His Highness the Divine Son, they no longer had to worry, and in the middle of the night, when they were asleep, they were suddenly broken into their home by demonic cavalry, destroying everything they had.

……

After the ceremony was over and the people dispersed, Ouyang Jing summoned his teammates and sisters to his city lord's mansion, and first said his idea of "creating gods".

"The minotaurs and centaurs of the steppes are born warriors, riders, farmers, and herdsmen. If we can quickly integrate them, it will be a very beneficial supplement to the growth of our strength. ”

City Lord's Mansion, in the Conference Hall.

Ouyang Jing stood in front of a huge round table, supporting the table with both hands, and looked around at his teammates sitting around the table with blazing eyes:

"But if we want to truly integrate the minotaurs and centaurs, which are not part of the human race, into our clan, it is not enough to give them a Mother Earth Goddess.

"In addition to the great Mother Earth and His Majesty Emperor Wa, the main god of the god lineage, they must also find a race god that matches their racial characteristics. Moreover, the race gods they are looking for must also be recognized by the people of China. ”

Ding Crab didn't dress up as Chu Liuxiang today, but wore a Confucian robe, a Wenshan hat, and a black and white long sword behind his back.

As soon as he looked at his dress, Ouyang Jing knew who he was playing - the South China Sea Sword Immortal in Tsui Hark's old version of Shushan's biography, Ding Yin.

At this time, I saw him take a sip of tea slowly, showed a gentle smile, and said in a harmonious voice: "Forgive Ding for being stupid, among the Chinese gods, are there really any minotaurs and centaurs who can be unanimously recognized by the people of China?" ”

Gandalf said leisurely: "Emperor Yan Shennong and the soldier master Chiyou, in ancient Chinese mythology, are all gods with the head of the ox and the human body. Emperor Yan is one of the two ancestors of Yan and Huang of the Chinese people, and Chi You is the master of soldiers and the god of war. Until the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chiyou was the official god of war of the imperial court. These two gods are not only heartily recognized by the people of China, but also can serve as the racial gods of the Minotaur. ”

Ding Crab was shocked: "Teacher Gan, how do you know?" Although you are wise, this is a Chinese myth, how can you know so much about Chinese culture as a foreigner? ”

"The old man is Maia from another world, not a foreigner." Gandalf smiled gently: "As for these things, just read more books." As a reincarnation, you have to know a little bit about everything so that you won't suffer. ”

"Taught!" Ding Crab bowed his hand with a serious face, and then asked modestly: "What about the centaur?" Who do they worship? ”

"Centaur ......"

Gandalf thought for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Let's make a move." In Chinese mythology, the god who managed the emperor's imperial garden also helped Dayu to control the water and pacify the rebellion of the nine-headed willows. He is the god of human head, horse body, tiger text, and bird wings, and the image is the closest to the centaur, and can be the centaur race god. And his godhead cannot be considered low, after all, he is the body of the Emperor of Heaven. ”

"Awesome!" Ding Crab looked amazed.

Wan Wan and the other girls also looked at Gandalf, a learned and wise man, with admiration on their faces.

Even Ouyang Jing gave Gandalf a thumbs up in admiration: "It's worthy of Teacher Gan, it's exactly the same as I thought!" ”

The little dragon girl smiled and teased: "You are praising yourself for being smart in disguise, right?" ”

Ouyang Jing laughed and said, "In short, what Teacher Gan said is exactly what I envisioned before. Yandi Shennong is the ancestor of farming, which is in line with the farming talent of the bull-headed people. The soldier master Chiyou is the strongest god of war, and it is also in line with the image of the Minotaur as a natural warrior. The priesthood of these two ancient gods coincides with the racial talent of the Minotaurs, and it is only natural for the Minotaurs to worship them.

"And the Heavenly God Heroic Move, although the chief is in charge of the Heavenly Emperor's Imperial Garden, he is also responsible for shepherding all kinds of divine beasts and exotic birds, and not allowing them to harm mortals. He has also participated in many wars against evil gods and evil gods, and is a brave and warlike god. His pastoral priesthood is in line with the nomadic behavior of centaurs, and his courage and warlike nature are also in line with the nature of the centaur race. Therefore, it is appropriate for centaurs to worship Yingzhao. ”

Gandalf bowed slightly: "What Ouyang said is very true. There are these three gods who have been wholeheartedly recognized by the Chinese people, and are highly consistent with the images of the minotaur and centaur, and even the racial talent, when the gods can be used as a link to produce spiritual cohesion, and from the spiritual level, the minotaur and the centaur can be fused. ”

"Yes." Ouyang Jing said with a smile: "These two races, not only do they not have the protection of the true gods of their own race, they don't even have words. In terms of culture, it is only a tradition that has been established since ancient times. This kind of civilization, which is still in a semi-primitive state, cannot resist the integration of the Chinese nation from the civilization level, not to mention the spiritual cohesion at the level of gods?

"And this is a world where multiple intelligent races coexist. In such a world, it is easier to achieve harmony among different races than on a single planet. Therefore, I think we have every opportunity to turn the Minotaur and the Centaur into real Chinese people. ”

"That's a pretty good idea." The little dragon girl nodded in agreement at first, and then said, "But, won't this take too much time?" ”

"It doesn't take too long."

Ouyang Jing said: "A clear image of the gods, a theocratic priesthood, a complete doctrine, a formal and solemn sacrificial ceremony, an atmosphere of participation by the whole people, the miracle of the altar 'God to the people', and the divine power of my Son of God...... This kind of combination, supplemented by fair and just waiting, can completely integrate them from the spiritual level in only one month at most.

After that, we only need to guide them slowly at the cultural level, and integrate their cultural customs into the cultural customs of our Chinese nation. This step will take a little longer. However, for the time being, it is enough for them to mentally recognize themselves as Chinese, and changing customs is not a top priority. ”
