Chapter 118: Forming the Eight Banners
Some things can be done slowly, but the matter of forming Eight Banners has been put on the agenda.
Among the more than 100,000 clansmen, in addition to not affecting production and grazing, the strongest men were carefully selected, about 40,000, which was enough to constitute the specifications of the Eight Banners.
Zhenghuang Qi is the elite of the elite, all of them are battle-hardened warriors, and they are also the most loyal, and they are naturally commanded by Zhangxiong Gyatso himself.
Zhengbai Flag, although it has not been formed for a long time, but these people are all selected from the Mao Niu tribe, loyalty is not a problem, and naturally they are also given preferential treatment, from a small number of iron weapons, they are in a hurry to equip them, so this is also the second flag team formed entirely by iron weapons. The flag owner is Brown Horse Yangzhen.
The blue flag was handed over to Lagjianshen. The red flag was handed over to Tashi Rondo. This is the flag owner of the four flags.
The inlaid yellow flag is the owner of the flag only in South Carolina, the inlaid white flag is Tsering Gongmu, and the inlaid blue flag is Luorong Zabu. The most pity is Lamlatso, originally Zhangzhung Gyatso wanted to submit him, and even prepared to arrange for him to be the flag master with the red flag. It's a pity that he was loyal to Xiang Barencuo, and would rather die in battle than surrender. Therefore, there is no suitable owner for this banner for the time being, so his younger brother Zhangzhung Dorje is also the ............ This is a matter of the Xiangxiong family, and no one will have an opinion if you think about it.
Although the fighters have just been recruited, their faces are completely different from what they used to be. There is no need to worry about the bravery of the barbarians, the only thing that Zhangxiong Gyatso needs to discipline them is to strictly discipline them. A well-disciplined army is a real army, otherwise it is just a plate of loose sand.
At first glance, when he became the flag owner, even the most calm Nanka Cairang was a little hurried, excited and apprehensive. Following Zhangxiong Gyatso all the way, they all watched Zhangxiong Gyatso grow from scratch step by step, grow the hairy cow tribe, and finally defeated the barbarian king in one fell swoop and seized the power of the entire barbarian. Loyalty is not a problem, they have long been dead, the only thing they are worried about is that they have never commanded an army of so many people, and they are afraid of making jokes.
A few days ago, he laughed at Brown Ma Yang Zhen's Raga Jian Shen, but at the moment, he could only keep a shy face and follow Brown Ma Yang Zhen's ass and ask him for advice on how to control a flag team. Everyone else is the same, even Nanka Cairang looks reluctant, but still goes to Brown Ma Yang Zhen for advice. After all, to control the army, his cruel methods are useless.
Fortunately, Zhangxiong Gyatso gave them enough time, and after the spring of next year, the Eight Banners training will be carried out, and whoever comes to the bottom will be ridiculed by everyone. They are all people who want to save face, and one party is a general, but they can't afford to lose that person.
Zhangxiong Gyatso didn't pay attention to what methods these people used to train the army, it was already early winter, and before the heavy snow closed the door, the orc smuggler Arslen actually came again. But when he went to the settlement of the Mao Niu tribe, he pounced.
Suddenly remembered a news circulating in the beast clan, and my heart moved, and I couldn't help but be excited............ Could it be that the 3 rumors are true? Zhangxiong Gyatso really annexed the barbarian royal court and became the barbarian king himself?
If this is the case, with his friendship with Zhangzhung Gyatso, his smuggling business will undoubtedly grow completely. Even he won't have to smuggle around secretly in the future. After all, although there are often big battles between barbarians and beasts, more often than not, they still trade with each other.
As long as Zhangzhung Gyatso is willing to nod, he can specify that Arslen should be included in the regular trade between the two clans. At that time, he will no longer have to be sneaky, but become an upright beast businessman.
After finding the Mao Niu tribesmen who were busy in the fields, and inquiring about it, after confirming the news from the proud expressions of those Mao Niu tribesmen, Arslen immediately rushed to the royal court with a caravan...... Oh, now it's called the Golden Horde.
When Arsleng arrived, Zhangzhung Gyatso was receiving a group of emancipated herdsmen who had come to take refuge. He had a kind attitude, and even picked up a thin child himself, fed him milk, and did not shy away from the child's dirty clothes and snot and mud on his face. The freed herdsmen, who were moved by their wistful attitudes, fell to their knees one after another, and some even wept bitterly. There is no doubt that their loyalty has been bought.
Let Solang Tonzhu settle these people well, Zhangxiong Gyatso learned the news from the mouth of the attendant, and immediately asked him to come over with a smileββββ now Zhangxiong Gyatso is already a khan, and his status is not the same, so naturally he can't lose his identity to meet a smuggler.
"Zhangzhung Big-headed, oh no, you should be called Zhangzhung Khan, please accept Arslen's sincere congratulations. "I saw the Zhangxiong Gyatso, dressed in a golden animal skin robe and with a short beard, sitting majestically on a felt carpet. Somehow, he felt a rush of power, which made Alslen bow slightly.
Only then did Zhangxiong Gyatso stand up, laugh, take Arslen's arm, and say, "Haha, Brother Arslen, why are you still outside me? β
"No, it's because I'm too close to the news, and I'm only concerned about buying goods from the human race, but I didn't expect to see him for a few months, and the Khan has already captured the royal court and become the Great Khan of the barbarians. It's really gratifying. Arslen was a little reserved, and he didn't know why, but he always felt that Zhangxiong Gyatso had put a lot of pressure on him, so that he was unnaturally respectful.
"Oh, Brother Arslen, you must have brought the supplies I urgently needed this time, right?" asked Zhangxiong Gyatso with interest.
"Haha, of course, knowing that the Khan needs weapons, this time I didn't bring anything else, only a large number of weapons, and I also bought a blacksmith from a Terran village for this. They will build weapons for me individually, and I will have as many weapons as I want. When the time comes, I can send it to you!"
Arslen smiled and said that the reason why he worked so hard was because of his father's entrustment.
The little orc chieftain Mandu Ratu told his son again and again to befriend Xiongxiong Gyatso. At first, Alslen was a little unimpressed, but now he has nothing but admiration for his father's vision. It seems that his father has long seen that Zhangxiong Gyatso is not ordinary, and if he sells it well with him in advance, he will undoubtedly get a rich return.
"Oh yes, that's great, it's still the same sentence, I won't let my good brother suffer. There are a lot of furs, salt, and livestock here, just tell me what you need. I will give you the most favorable terms. Zhangxiong Gyatso smiled happily.
Arslen naturally complimented, and after the two discussed the terms of the exchange, Arslen suddenly made a request: "Zhangxiong Khan, I have a small request, I don't know if you can agree to me?"
"Haha, as long as I can do it, Brother Arslen, you just say it. Zhangxiong Gyatso was a little curious, but he still agreed.
"Yes, my father, Chief Mandu Ratu, would love to meet you. I wonder if you have time?"
Although Zhangxiong Gyatso felt a little strange, he had long been curious about this orc chieftain who was very majestic and shrewd in Arslen's mouth, so he nodded and agreed without hesitation.
