Chapter 283: Ritual

"Population, population size, the only thing I'm worried about is that we don't have enough population." Zhang Jun then turned to say.

Big El nodded and said, "With our technical strength, we are stronger than anyone else, but the population is insufficient, otherwise I will definitely suggest that the Great Leader lead troops to occupy the whole world." ”

Zhang Jun continued: "Therefore, the short-term strategy can only be to occupy the coastal tribes and the Middle East, and wait until a few decades, a hundred years, our population continues to expand more than ten times, and we can gradually penetrate into other regions." ”

Zhang Jun is very confident in the technological development of the dinosaur family, he has even thought of the use of thermal weapons, but that also requires the invention of a large number of mechanical equipment, talent is the key factor, now talent training is still just a fantasy, not implemented, so it must be steady and steady, within a hundred years, it is difficult to achieve too much.

"Then when are we going to do something to the Linhai tribe?" Then Blackskin asked.

"It is estimated that we will have to wait until a year later, we need more armor, and weapons reserves, in order to be sure of victory, and we must have the intention of guarding against other tribes, once we enter the Middle East, it will inevitably cause them to panic, so they may unite against us, when the time comes, after all, they still have a population of more than 10,000, once they fight with us, it will also be a trouble." Zhang Jun responded.

"Therefore, during this year, our task is to continue to expand the production of weapons and armor, including the manufacture of vehicles, the domestication of horses and camels, and so on.

"Looks like we're going to have to work hard again. The laid-back years of the past are completely over. Big Al then shook his head and sighed.

"When to do what kind of things, this is the war years, so everything must be based on war, everything must serve war, and when we occupy the whole world, you can play around leisurely." Zhang Jun chuckled.

"I hope my dream will come true soon."

Regarding the development of the dinosaur race, the most important change Zhang Jun decided was to let the slaves undertake the construction task, which would free part of the labor force to devote himself to military training.

Not only do the current cities have to be built with slaves, but also the farms need slaves. And in the future, it will come to other regions. A large number of slaves were also needed to carry out construction tasks.

As for the construction of the castle, because of the huge scale, it will not be completed for a while and a half, and it is estimated that it will take a few to ten years. And Zhang Jun hasn't decided yet. It is to build a castle in its place. Or go to the Middle East to build cities.

If you want to take a global view, you have to stay in the Middle East for a long time, and there must be cities there. And on the side of the Egyptian base camp, a city is also needed, which can be attacked and defended, just in case.

In the near future, it is still mainly based on the manufacture of weapons and equipment, because the time is relatively tight, and hundreds of sets of armor and a large number of weapons can be manufactured in a year, so that the plan of attacking the Linhai tribe can be carried out in the spring of the next year.

The ancestors discussed until dawn the next day, and put forward and discussed a lot of plans and arrangements, and long-term plans, as for the technology development plan, Zhang Jun decided to slowly carry out the Middle East plan after the implementation of the plan.

Three days later, Zhang Jun carried out a more important thing, that is, for the dead more than 20 flying dragon and flying dragon warriors, a few red-eyed dragons and brute bull warriors, the funeral, this is the first time that so many warriors have sacrificed, so the funeral must be carried out solemnly, before the funeral in the clan was buried by the method of burial.

At this time, there were no coffins, so people were usually buried directly in the earth, because there were no craftsmen to produce coffins, and this matter was never carried out well.

Zhang Jun has ordered people to build a coffin for these dead warriors, a large coffin, which can accommodate more than 30 people, and the remains of the warriors will be placed in the coffin, buried in a cemetery ten kilometers away from here, where many dead ancestors of the dinosaur clan were buried.

After the funeral, Zhang Jun will also hold a special ceremony for the people of Chiyan and Manniu to welcome them to join the dinosaur clan, and they will be the brothers of the dinosaur clan in the future, so that they can belong to the dinosaur clan with peace of mind.

The three days were fast in coming, and in the Dragon Village, the bodies of the warriors were neatly wrapped in animal skins, their bodies were wiped clean, and a large coffin prepared for them had been carried to the cemetery ten kilometers away, where their bodies would be carried for burial.

The ceremony was chosen to be carried out outside the Dragon Village, Zhang Jun and several ancestors were all in the Dragon Village, standing beside those dead soldiers, looking at their remains, their expressions were very solemn.

Almost all the dinosaurs were waiting in a neat line at the gate of the Dragon Village, and the people of Chiyan and Manniu were also among them, and there were five red-eyed dragons and two Manniu who also died in the battle, and their bodies were also placed next to the remains of the dinosaur warriors, ready to be buried together, to show that they would be treated equally.

Early in the morning, when the sky was just dawning, Zhang Jun and several ancestors went to the grass in front of Longzhai and waited quietly in front of the body for a while.

Soon the dinosaurs, bulls, and red-eyed dragons in the other dragon villages arrived in front of the dragon village, and the flying dragons also rose into the air, and at this time they flew around the dragon village in the sky to express their condolences for the loss of their warriors.

There were about 100 people in Longzhai at this time, and when everyone was ready, Zhang Jun began to walk in front of nearly thirty corpses, he approached the past, and all the eyes of all the people fell on Zhang Jun's head, and their expressions were also very solemn, this was the first time they faced the death of so many companions, and it really had to be sad, and many clansmen left tears to mourn for these warriors.

Zhang Jun walked around the corpses, he stopped in front of each corpse, and gently stroked their foreheads with the palm of his hand, these dinosaurs are his descendants, his descendants, so he is the elder to send the younger generation, which is different from most funerals, and it feels very sad.

However, Zhang Jun has experienced this kind of scene for hundreds of millions of years, and every time he watches his children and grandchildren, including his own son, die, every time it will bring him some sadness, so it is not easy to live for 100 million years.

After Zhang Jun. Several ancestors also walked around them, and the ancestors were their ancestors, so they had to show their special love for these descendants every time.

After the ancestors finished speaking, the other dinosaur people began to stand in front of the body, bowing their heads to express their condolences, and then a group of flying dragons began to fly from the gate of the dragon village, and they flew at a very low altitude, only about ten meters high.

When the wyvern flew over the body, it began to think that the body would throw some white petals, indicating that the souls of these warriors who had lost their pure purity would be blessed by the heavens.

"Get up!" When the body is covered with flower petals. Zhang Jun shouted.

Then some dinosaurs cried quietly nearby. Some are the mothers and siblings of these fighters, whose fathers are unknown, so only the mother and siblings are recognizable.

Amidst the cries, dozens of flying dragons lifted the bodies up. One body is lifted for every four people. The remains of the bull were too large. So it was carried by the Allosaurus, and soon dozens of bodies were lifted, and then began to walk outside the Dragon Village.

Wyverns have been hovering above their heads. Throwing white petals downward, the dinosaurs lining the exterior began to bow their heads in mourning as they walked out of the village.

The body was then carried all the way to the cemetery, and someone would come up to carry the body halfway through, because the weight was too heavy and the road was a little long.

Along the way, Zhang Jun and several ancestors walked behind the body, the body walked in front, followed by the large army, all the dinosaurs were in mourning, and their relatives were crying along the road.

The white petals all over the ground sent the soldiers to the cemetery, where a large pit had been dug and a coffin was immediately placed, about ten meters long and seven or eight meters wide, which could accommodate more than 30 bodies for burial, and the remains were then placed on the edge of the grave.

Zhang Jun stood at the head of the grave and began to speak: "Brave and fearless dinosaur warriors, your heroic souls will immediately ascend to heaven, live a prosperous and healthy life forever, always admired by people, forever recorded in history, and forever remembered by all descendants of the dinosaur clan." May Heaven bless you and be in peace! ”

Later, after everyone stood around the cemetery, Zhang Jun and several ancestors began to look at their remains, and then Zhang Jun shouted again: "Settle in the ground." ”

Dozens of dinosaurs began to put the bodies into the coffins one by one, and the remains of the warriors were neatly arranged, and everyone began to express their last condolences to the remains, walking around the coffin, and slowly lining up to other places.

Finally the coffin was covered, their relatives and other dinosaurs began to fill in the soil for them, and slowly the body was covered with soil, and after the grave was made, the relatives stayed by the grave and waited silently, hoping to see their relatives go to heaven in peace, and they would not leave.

"These warriors are rare warriors, and their sacrifice is the loss of our dinosaur clan, and we hope that their souls can be soothed by the gods in heaven." Zhang Jun couldn't hide the sadness in his heart at this time, and couldn't help but sigh with tears.

"The moment we stand on enemy territory, their souls will be even more soothed." The bald man continued.

Heipi also said: "Only when we go back and work hard to prepare for the work, and come back next year with the blood of the enemy to pay tribute to these dead children and grandchildren, they will be better comforted." ”

"Let those enemies pay for their stupid actions."

The sound of weeping continued in the graveyard, the ancient wails resounded in this ancient sky, the oldest and purest consolation spread in the graveyard, and the souls of the warriors passed away with the wind and slowly ascended to heaven.......

On the same day, Zhang Jun presided over another ceremony, warmly welcoming Chiyan and Manniu to join, they thought that this war had paid the price of their people's lives, and they were dinosaur brothers who had to be respected.

At the ceremony, Zhang Jun specially appointed Chiyan as the general of Zhennan, and since then the word general has been added to the officer title, and the mad bull was named the commander of the barbarian bull, one level lower than the general.

Tie Shan and He Meng were also officially renamed generals, they were the leaders of the Flying Dragon and the Wyvern, they were of the same rank as Chiyan, and this was also to appease Chiyan and let his people follow the dinosaurs after returning to the south.

Zhang Jun decided to let Chiyan return to the south to guard southern Africa, and let his subordinates be deployed in the north to lead a red-eyed dragon team here, which will have about 300 people, which is equivalent to the strength of the one Chiyan left in southern Africa.

After getting the Middle East, Zhang Jun was going to send a part of Feiyue Long to southern Africa to guard southern Xinjiang with Chiyan, one was to increase manpower to prevent other tribes from rebelling, and the other was to contain Chiyan, in case he had two hearts, for the time being, because of the lack of manpower, it could only be so.

After the ceremony, all the work began, and the construction of weapons and equipment entered a climax, on a shallow iron mine, a group of captives were sent there to collect iron ore, another group of captives began to familiarize themselves with the farming techniques of the farm, and the largest group of captives was prepared for the construction of the city.

For long-term needs, Zhang Jun plans to connect the three dragon villages, which are a large city plan with a length and width of nearly 40 kilometers, and can accommodate a population of more than one million in the long term.

The city is planned to have streets, markets, residential areas and other areas, and according to the long-term future plan, there will be a large number of vacant areas for the time being, and gradually as the population grows, buildings will be filled, and the content of the city will continue to be extended.

More than a month after the construction of the new city was planned, the construction of the outer wall of the city has begun, and Zhang Jun and several ancestors have recently been busy patrolling around to see how the work is progressing.

From afar, a large number of slaves with shackles labored in the area between the dragon villages, using various tools to dig the land, carry stones, and build the foundations of the city.

The shackles on the captives' feet were firm, but they did not prevent them from walking at a slower pace, but it was very strenuous to run, and it was easy to trip over themselves, which was also specially designed to prevent them from escaping.

Wyverns and Leaping Dragons act as overseers, overseeing the slaves' labor and preventing them from being lazy or escaping.

Zhang Jun explained that it was not allowed to be too strict with slaves, because there have been many examples in history of excessive oppression of slaves, which led to their collective rebellion, so the smart way is to let them eat well, and their bodies will not be too tired, and they will not be subjected to excessive corporal punishment.

The black skin is responsible for supervising the behavior of his own people, preventing the occurrence of excessive bullying of slaves, these behaviors will make slaves rebellious, is not conducive to stable behavior, to be stopped and punished, so those flying dragon monitoring team will not beat and scold slaves at will, but the lazy will be punished with reduced meals until they starve to death, so slaves must pay the price of labor in order to survive, and in the case of reasonable labor intensity, they will not have strong rebellious feelings psychologically. (To be continued......)
