Li Town, well, no matter what the name of the town where Li people live now was called before, Qian Wubing and Yang Yiqing decided to call it Li Town.
From a purely residential point of view, this place is not a good place. Looking at the abandoned military station not far away, Qian Wubing can roughly guess that the previous town only gradually formed a scale based on this military station. Now the military station
It has been burned to the ground, except for a piece of ruins. It is no longer what it was back then. Needless to say, this is all a good thing caused by King Anhua's rebellion.
I am afraid that most of the cultivated farmland near the military station is a military camp. Now that the chaos is over, new soldiers have not yet been dispatched here. These farmlands have made it easier for these Li people. Of course, there will probably not be many officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Being stationed here, just like what Yang Yiqing said, since you want to get the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, you have to do something. It seems natural for the Li people to live here and guard this door for the Ming Dynasty.
Although the farmland is barren, if you take care of it carefully, you can make a living. The remaining soldiers and soldiers who work in the military camps are miserable and sallow. Most of the reason is because most of the crops they cultivate have to be handed over to the military generals.
We and Li people do not have this burden. In contrast, their income is much better than that of the soldiers stationed in the fields.
The low wall around the town can no longer be called a low wall. It is as tall as an adult and a half. It is built with several layers of stones, and the gaps between the stones are filled with sand and gravel. In addition to not being very strong, it can withstand impacts.
Its strength is slightly inferior to that of a formal city wall, but in fact, it is already quite good.
On the low wall, every hundred or so paces, there is now an additional sentry tower. At all times, soldiers from the Li people are observing possible dangers in the sentry tower, while Qian Wubing's cavalry,
There are three rounds of scouts every morning, noon and evening, with this town as the center, patrolling the surrounding areas for more than ten miles. The early warning and defense mechanism of the entire town is better than that of some counties in the northwest.
Some of the Li soldiers had already taken off their armor and weapons when they were on high alert, and turned around to devote themselves to the construction of their new homes. The only ones who were keeping vigil near the low wall were probably the Li soldiers that Qian Wubing had seen before.
One-third of the soldiers. Of course, if there is an emergency, these people are probably on call. However, for a tribe with less than ten thousand people, such an armed force is a bit exaggerated.
Think about it, if the Ming Dynasty used this ratio and selected one out of ten people as soldiers, then the Ming Dynasty would suddenly be able to gather millions of troops. If the military expenses are not included, this would indeed be a terrifying situation.
The numbers are up.
However, the Li people's army currently has no expenses at all. The two or three thousand soldiers are almost all their adult men. This is what it means to say that all the people are soldiers.
Probably the hundreds of Ming officers and soldiers under Qian Wubing and the city wall they built gave them a sense of security. A month after arriving in this town, they finally "disarmed and returned to the fields" and invested in the construction of a new home.
Got hit.
Qian Wubing's headquarters camped in the southwest corner of the town, and still maintained a certain distance from the Li people. The two ethnic groups have many different habits, customs, and even languages. It is necessary to maintain a certain safe distance. Although the court
Qian Wubing's decree has been conveyed to the elders of the Li people by Qian Wubing. Those elders also recognized Qian Wubing's status as the "comfort envoy", but this does not mean that all the people of the Li people regard the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
It's like treating one's own children. And those Li soldiers are their real own children, and the difference between them is simply world-wide.
Some frictions and conflicts don't just start over trivial matters, Qian Wubing was very well prepared for this.
As the ambassador of comfort, the imperial court appointed the tallest eldest son here. Qian Wubing naturally occupied the largest and best house here without any ceremony. He didn't know who lived in this house before, but after a little renovation, it looked spacious and elegant.
Quite frankly, a house in the capital is like a ruined temple and a haunted house. Here, no matter how picky you are, you can't choose a better house than this one.
It has been a while since I came back from Anhua. If I had to use one word to describe this period, it would be "leisure!" Moreover, this is not ordinary leisure, it is simply too much leisure. Only with them can people solve the problem.
They only come to Qian Wubing when they can't meet their needs. On weekdays, what they should do, what they shouldn't do, and even how to do things are all arranged and directed by their elders. It doesn't have anything to do with Qian Wubing.
Moreover, in Qian Wubing's eyes, he almost never saw them arguing, complaining, or even clamoring for resistance.
Due to the language barrier, the only people who can really communicate with Qian Wubing are their elders and other high-ranking members of the tribe. Even if Qian Wubing is willing to put down his body and mingle with his "people", he will often encounter a lot of trouble.
What was terrible about the embarrassing situation that Tong Ya was talking about was that he still couldn't tell whether those Li people really didn't understand when they listened to him, or they were pretending not to understand. After trying several times, Qian Wubing finally found out.
He decisively gave up such a move, even though as long as he walked out, those Li people seemed to be very kind when they looked at him, but he always felt that the way those people looked at him was like looking at a large moving granary.
Li Ren has his own little secret, he is already very sure of this. However, Jin Yiwei's all-conquering methods failed here, and his insinuations against Elder Lu Fa had no effect at all.
Huo couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb because he didn't know Chinese like other elders, but his method of changing the topic was extremely clever. If Qian Wubing didn't want to hear him cry about poverty, complain about suffering, or ask for this or that, in the end
It's better not to ask him some questions that he doesn't want to answer, otherwise, the outcome will not be so good.
Therefore, not only was he free, but the people around him were also free, and those mighty battalion soldiers who were clamoring to come here to make contributions were even more free. Even daily routine patrols had become a hot job among them, and every day
People were rushing out to take a spin.
The military order from Anhua clearly clarified their establishment. The northwest battle training camp of the Weiwu University Hall in the capital, referred to as the Weiwu Camp! It is subordinate to the Trilateral General Administration and is temporarily assigned to the account of Li Qianxuanwei. This means
He said that no matter where they came from before, they would have to stay in this unlucky place and live in this unlucky place. If there was a war, they might be able to be called upon. If there was no war, they would have to wait until Qian Wubing, the consolation envoy, finished his term.
Those who have talents can be used elsewhere, and those who have lost money and Wubing are not considered outsiders all the way. Although these people are so idle, they can still manage Qian Wubing.
