Three Kingdoms

"Ada, what... that... um..." Bada stuttered for a long time, forgetting what to call Fei Qian in the Beiqu camp. After stammering for a moment, he suddenly patted his thigh and said, "That's the one with three The Han people with colored flags are recruiting troops, will you go?"

"Recruiting soldiers?" Ata stopped what he was doing, raised his head and said, "Did that Han say who he wanted to fight?"

"Yes! Well..." Bada rolled his eyes upwards, tried to recall, and said after a while, "...but I forgot..."

"Hi!" Ah Da rolled his eyes.

Bada explained hurriedly: "You can't blame me. Han people's names are so strange and their words are hard to understand. How can I remember them?"

Ah Da took off his hat, scratched his itchy scalp, and said: "I think the Han people are similar to us. They beat this or that all day long, and they never stop..."

"Whatever, the soldiers' pay this time is quite high anyway. One month for that... um... I forgot, the Han people's method of settling accounts is so complicated, I don't understand it at all..."

Bada's amnesia relapsed, and Ata was helpless.

But Bada blinked hard and suddenly remembered, he laughed and said: "Haha, I remembered, it's one sheep a month! Big sheep!"

"A big sheep? A month?" Ata couldn't believe it and confirmed again.

Bada suddenly slapped his head, took out a small wooden sign from inside his greasy sheepskin jacket, and said, "I almost forgot! This is the voucher given by the Han man with the tricolor flag, and it's written on it! "

"You can't understand Chinese characters, so what's the use of writing them..." Although Ada couldn't understand Chinese characters himself, he still took them...

But this time, to Ata's surprise, he could understand...

Because in addition to Chinese characters, there are several patterns. Although the strokes are simple, you can know what they mean:

A little man standing on the ground holding a knife, and next to him is a lamb without horns...

A little man on a horse with a knife, and next to him is a larger sheep with horns...

Bada excitedly made gestures on his head with both hands, imitating the two horns of a sheep. Then he pointed at the word "sheep" on the wooden sign and said excitedly: "Look! Ah Da! Look, this The Chinese character is called 'sheep', which means the two horns on the head, doesn't it look a bit similar? Hahaha, I am someone who understands Chinese characters too!"

"The one with the horse will be given to the big sheep, and the one without the horse will be given to the small sheep..." Ata murmured.

Bada nodded and said: "I don't think this Han will cheat us! In the past, it was the leaders who knew Chinese who talked about it, but in the end every time Yuan Yuan originally agreed, there would be less money...the Han people's money I can’t count them, so it’s easy to just give them one sheep. Anyway, one sheep a month, two sheep every two months, three sheep every three months, well, if it lasts for a year, then there are ten, well, Something seems wrong... How many times can you count?"

Ah Da stared at the wooden sign, still weighing it in his mind, and didn't pay attention to what Bada was talking about. He casually replied: "Anyway, there are more than you can count... Hey, Bada, why didn't the leader come to inform us this time? ?”

Normally, most matters like this are discussed directly with the tribal leader, and then the leader takes part. The spoils and military pay are settled with the leader, and then distributed to the tribesmen by the leader.

This is the model that the Han people have always used to recruit Hu people to participate in battles. It is relatively simple and easier to manage, but this time, it is obviously directly targeted at all classes of Hu people...

Bada said "Ah", smacked his lips, and said: "How do I know this? I'm not the leader. How about it, Ata, do you want to come with us? I heard that the Han people of three colors can only recruit so many people. Wait... um, um... ah, it’s not much anyway, I won’t accept it if you arrive late... "

× × × × × × × × ×

The Han people who have three colors in the mouths of many Hu people, well, it should be said that it is fortunate that there is no green color. In the camp, Lu was watching the Hu people who came to join the team one after another...

In the Han Dynasty, since the Southern Xiongnu annexed the country, there has been a unique behavior of recruiting soldiers, which is to recruit Hu people to fight, which is called "victory soldiers".

When General Dou Xian finally drove the Northern Huns to Europe to harm the white people, he recruited the Hu people from the Southern Huns, as well as the Wuheng people who were pressed down by the Huns until they were rubbing against the ground.

Not to mention the Southern Xiongnu barbarians who drew swords against their original compatriot brothers, even the Wuheng people who had been put into seventeen or eighteen postures by the Huns for a long time immediately became charming and enchanting after they had the support of the Han people. Under the cover of the frontal battlefield, relying on his coquettish movement, he traveled thousands of miles, fought all the way from the northeast to the northwest, and raided the hometown of the Northern Huns. The leader of the Wuheng people even received an official reward from the Han people for this. It is really true. Really enjoy the fame and wealth, feel proud...

After that, the Han people also recruited Hu people to fight many times, and even used them to suppress internal peasant uprisings and rebellions. The most recent one was when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty ordered the conscription of troops to suppress Zhang Chun's attack on the Qiangqu Chanyu of the southern Xiongnu. The rebellion resulted in heavy losses due to the unfavorable first battle. Then Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty called for the second time, which led to civil strife among the Southern Huns.

Of course, there must be other factors involved. It is not entirely the external cause of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, but it also shows that most Han people have no special views on the participation of the Hu people in the war...

Except Du Yuan...

Du Yuan and Du Wenzheng have been so busy these days that the back of their heads is touching their heels.

Originally, there was only Du Yuan among the civil servants in Fei Qian Beiqu, so the number was small, but there were a lot of things to do. They needed to sort out the daily transactions in the market, make statistics on the goods exchanges with Anyi, and distribute the camps. Food and fodder for soldiers inside, etc...

The workload of this series of work is not small originally, and now that the market transactions are becoming more and more prosperous, there are a lot of goods handled every day, those that need to be stored, those that need to be transported, and those that need to be transported. After all, these big and small things have basically exhausted Du Yuan. Now it can be said that even if a stunning beauty is stripped naked and placed in front of Du Yuan, it is estimated that Du Yuan will not pay attention to it and will sleep first. Let’s talk later.

If it weren't for Du Yuan watching Beiqu Camp prosper day by day, the camp area would be rapidly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. The wooden walls around the camp were gradually replaced by earthen walls, and the soldiers would be equipped with more and more complete weapons and armor. , the black smoke rising from the iron-making furnaces that work day and night on the river bank, the money that makes you dizzy just looking at the accounts, the increasing number of various livestock in the fence...

If it weren't for the fact that his parents failed to do it, the things that existed in his dreams were achieved step by step in his own hands and turned into reality step by step. The sense of satisfaction and glory was supporting Du Yuan. I'm afraid Du Yuan would be completely different now. Fell down tiredly.

However, now we need to add the management and placement of barbarian recruitment...

If Du Yuan had seen the dramas of later generations, he would definitely want to shout in his heart: "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I really can't do it..."

Therefore, Du Yuan stood in front of Fei Qian with dark circles under his eyes, with a look of resentment and haggard...

It is said that Zhuge came to Jiangdong in person and had a good chat with Zhou Yu, so they had dinner together...

While Zhuge was eating, he suddenly remembered something and asked someone to bring out a small jar. He poured some sauce out of the jar and said, "Please have a taste. This is the fish sauce I made myself."

Zhou Yu blushed and said in a low voice: "Hey, Liangjiang~"
