Chapter 233 Inspecting the Five Clans
In the busy life, after a few spring rains, the weather gradually became wet and warm.
The seeds broke through the soil, the grass roots sprouted, and the river beaches and farmlands quickly turned into a tender green field.
Various wild flowers bloom in a row, and various trees are slowly bulging into tender buds.
The wild fruit trees planted inside and outside the courtyard also began to bloom sporadically, light red and snow-white. In the warm spring breeze, there was crystal clear rain, and a faint fragrance was radiant.
In mid-January, after completing the completion of the second phase of the courtyard, Xu Chen was preparing to start his patrol trip to his alliance tribe.
This was a very important task for him.
In ancient times, the emperors traveled around the world not to show royal power and pomp, but to a necessary means to strengthen rule.
In the absence of the willingness to communicate actively and arduous transportation conditions, taking the initiative to strengthen communication and contact will greatly enhance the intimate relationship between tribes, and at the same time demonstrate the enthusiasm of the Ba people to treat brother tribes.
This is not only an opportunity to enhance one's reputation, but also a means to enhance control.
Nearly two months have passed, and I don’t know how effective the military training of the other five tribes is.
He is also planning to lead everyone to a oath-taking meeting in February and then go to the Gonghuo Clan to show off.
Therefore, it is necessary to understand the training effect in advance.
In addition, he appointed at least three training commanders in several tribes, appointed official positions and military ranks, and did not send any necessary equipment such as armor, bows, arrows, waists, and cards.
Armor, bows and officer waist cards have been slowly prepared in winter.
The military leaders are all double-layer armor like the wind, the deputy leaders are single-layer leather armor, and the bow is a good material that the tribe has long cut down and dried. It has a range of about 100 meters and has a powerful medium and long-range strike capability.
The officer waist tag is made of wood, five inches long and three inches wide, the size of a palm, with the name of a tribe and military post on it.
For example, the character "Ba" in the waist card, there is a character "Feng" on the back, and there is two characters "Lieutenant" next to it.
Mo Heju has similar waist cards, but the military rank is second lieutenant.
These waist cards were made by Xu Chen and a group of five other young men, including Gu Heju, in their spare time to chop and polish. Xu Chen personally carved patterns and characters with a stone knife and copper knife, and then carbonized the characters with a burnt copper cone. It looked ancient and had a hint of artistic atmosphere.
In order to facilitate hanging, a small hole was drilled on the wooden sign with a wooden bow drill and tied a lanyard.
Originally, Xu Chen planned to make it out of gold or copper at the beginning, but he thought it was too wasteful.
Although gold is not very useful at the moment, it is a precious metal after all. Its usefulness will gradually increase with the development of society, especially in some objects that need to be used to bluff people, gold and gems of various colors are indispensable.
As for copper, it is too small and rare, and there are no suitable processing tools. It is difficult to make objects with uniform size standards, especially when it cannot melt and mold as you wish.
However, in winter, the Wu tribe had already sent thousands of kilograms of copper ore. Xu Chen decided to make a batch of copper billets of the same size through casting when smelting copper next time. In the future, some important military leaders will still issue copper waist cards to reflect the difference in identity and status.
In addition, there is no special merit system at present, so the rank and military post are combined into one. Lower officers obey superior officers, and they are simply distinguished by three-level positions such as leader, deputy leader, and captain, forming a mutual affiliation.
For these wild men who are illiterate and have no knowledge and culture, except for hunting and working, they only know how to drive piles, the simpler everything is, the better. They cannot understand the complexity, and being too complicated will bring great chaos.
Therefore, Xu Chen tried to manage these people in the simplest way, and strived to make them understand and accept them.
The highest commander is the big leader, the deputy leader is the training commander, responsible for daily training and combat. The captain is a team of ten people, and each team selects the most powerful person to be the captain. At present, there is no distinction between the squadron leader and the captain. The captain is called a non-commissioned officer and does not belong to the officer sequence. The military official badge is not issued for the time being.
All military forces are actually for politics.
Whether it is the military training or military structure of the Alliance tribe, it is ultimately Xu Chen's plan for his kingly turmoil.
The six tribes are the strength he relies on for development. Training is just one of them. In the end, this force must be united to form a whole.
In order to make the six tribes more recognizable to his leadership, Xu Chen asked the women of the tribe to rush to make five flags before setting off, and they will be given to the other five tribes respectively.
In the future, every gathering or mobilization is necessary to take action under the guidance of a unified flag.
As mentioned earlier, the sense of ritual is very important.
When the flag gradually becomes the core symbol of tribal recognition, this sense of honor and collective will continue to deepen. As long as the flag is still there, people will have a spiritual sustenance, and eventually form a belief that the flag is destroyed by the flag.
The more flags to go to the expedition, the more powerful it can reflect one's own side.
Therefore, the flag also carries a kind of intimidation and shock.
Gathering the power of the six tribes and raising the flag to move. Once a unified spiritual belief and command system is formed, this strength has already had a strong deterrent power in the current wild primitive era.
On January 15th, after the full moon night, Xu Chen officially set out to inspect the Alliance Tribe.
Feng led forty people to accompany him as a military leader, ten people in a group of archers, ten people in a group of spearmen, and twenty people in the remaining prisoner training regiment.
The deputy leader of the archer, Ju, stayed behind the tribe, led the hunters and prisoners to hunt and fish.
Mo, the deputy leader of the spear, set off with the team as Feng's deputy.
Gu is still a trumpeter.
He raised the flag officer, and led two Wu tribe boys to raise the flag.
All the Ba tribe hunters were neatly dressed, with armor, bows, arrows, spears and shields all available. The twenty-man captive army was also wearing rattan armor and equipped with simple spears and sticks.
After more than two months of training and integration, both the Ba hunters and the captive legion looked very full of energy.
Xu Chen was also fully armed, with cowhide armor, white cloak, dragon teeth scimitar hanging on his waist, arrows on his back, long boots on his feet, a red forehead strap tied on his head, a character with a character named Wang, and pressing the handle of the knife with his hands, he looked quite as handsome as a young general.
Even if the man in front of him is tall and big, wearing double armor, his image seems to be slightly inferior.
The main reason is that the suddenly extra cloak on Xu Chen's body adds a lot of points to him.
Flying slightly under the spring river breeze, it has a sense of heroism and beauty.
The little witch, holding a golden witch scepter, stood in the open space between Xu Chen and the team, singing and dancing, singing ancient blessings to the team that went on a battle, praying for the favor and blessing of the gods.
Under the blowing of the river wind, the cloth skirt was pressed against the delicate body of the little witch, and the blue cloak also fluttered in the wind, carrying a unique mystery and beauty that made people feel awe.
A large group of women, children, young and left-behind men were standing behind Xu Chen.
Ye hugged the crowd with the baby Tao born in winter, but he didn't watch the big witch's dance at all. Instead, his eyes fell on Xu Chen for a moment and could not move them away. He bit his lips gently, his eyes were blurry and hot, and his fingers couldn't help but pinch the child in his arms.
As he grows older, Xu Chen's size has grown a lot taller in the past year and his body has become more burly. In addition, a unique lazy temperament, against the backdrop of this outfit, he is as unforgettable as a crane.
Among the crowd, there was more than the little mother and savage cousin who cowed Xu Chen's body.
A large group of young women stolen from the Gonghuo tribe and the Cha tribe were almost all in their teens, and they were just adults and had not yet got pregnant and had children. Almost at this time, their eyes fell on Xu Chen, and their eyes were full of ignorance.
At present, there are more women and few men in the Ba tribe. A large group of prisoners has been deprived of mating power. There are only more than a dozen Uk tribe men in the new family, and most of them are old and weak.
Although Feng and other groups of men were young and strong, there were too many women in their courtyards. They occasionally ran over to eat fishy mouthfuls to improve their tastes. They couldn't stand the seduction of forty young women every day. Therefore, they were still very interested at first, and they didn't dare to run to the side yard recently.
I had my legs weak for several days in the past.
If you can't keep up with the training, you will not only be punished, but also deduct food and restrict mating rights. After making a few jokes, a group of men of the Ba tribe basically did not go to the side yard to steal food.
If people can’t bear it, the price is too high and the nutrition cannot keep up.
In order to give birth to the best offspring, in this barbaric era where reproduction is the main focus, women are very cautious about choosing mating objects like wild animals, and those who are weak and young are basically excluded from the first time.
Although men do not need to rely on fighting to defeat competitors like male animals to obtain mating rights, the right to choose is still in the hands of women. If they are unwilling to mate, men cannot force them. After all, there are patriarchs and leaders. The tribe has its own rules. Those who break the rules will be severely punished. The most serious thing is naturally to expel the tribe and fend for themselves.
Xu Chen is undoubtedly the youngest and best man in the entire Ba tribe, and the mating object that all young women hope to obtain.
Xu Chen's strength and excellence are not reflected in the strength and savageness of ordinary men, but in his intelligence and talent.
If he mates with him, he will inevitably give birth to a smart enough child in the future. Maybe he is as magical and outstanding as him, and will be respected by all tribesmen.
Of course, Xu Chen didn't know that because of this cool outfit, he had been drooling in the hearts of a large group of young women.
After waiting for the little witch's blessing dance to finish, he stood in front of a group of neatly lined up, giving his legs and hands behind his back to express his routine pre-departure.
"Standing attentively, rest!"
