After finishing dinner together, Yun Fang said to Chu Xingyu: "Prince Shou, in the coming winter, I hope to use your soldiers to train the people of the Dahe tribe, so that they can feel a sense of belonging to our tribe, and then keep them to open up the land for us. What do you think?"
Yes, even though everyone has already acknowledged Yunfang's position as leader in their hearts, Yunfang and Li Muwen still respect Chu Xingyu a lot, and they are both willing to teach Chu Xingyu in all aspects.
And once it comes to matters concerning the 500 soldiers under Chu Xingyu, Yun Fang will adopt Chu Xingyu's opinion.
Chu Xingyu did not nod and say yes immediately, but asked: "Aunt Yunfang, what are you planning to do? I want to know."
Yun Fang cleared her throat and said, "For the 500 soldiers, I will ask them to each pick out 5 warriors from the Dahe tribe, and train them in groups of 6. I believe that with their abilities, they can achieve results. After the winter, there will be a total of 3000 soldiers who are as combat-ready as our Qianyuan Dynasty soldiers.
From then on, these soldiers would go out hunting, gather information, and look for new supplies.
The rest of you will stay in the tribe and help me cultivate some high-quality seeds so that I can bring them back to our dynasty in 10 years.
This is the only way to make the best use of limited people.
If possible, I also hope that the tribe can absorb more natives in the future. Prince, you should also know that I want to study a lot of things. I also need a lot of people under me. "
Chu Xingyu asked doubtfully, "Aunt Yunfang, if we have trained the warriors of the Dahe tribe, but they are unwilling to submit to us and instead return to their original territory, or even take our territory away, what should we do?"
Yun Fang looked at Chu Xingyu with satisfaction and said, "Prince is really considering the problem comprehensively now. If you train these soldiers according to my plan, it will greatly increase their obedience to the entire army. This is one aspect, but people's hearts are the most uncontrollable, so when training the army, I will not hand over the most important weapon in my hand to them. And have you forgotten? In addition to the fire guns they have seen, I also have a weapon that can instantly kill many of them. Before I train them, I will ask them if they are willing to join our tribe. If they are willing to join, I will take out such weapons for them to see, and it can have a deterrent effect."
Chu Xingyu had indeed seen that weapon before, and had used it when collecting cement and gypsum.
Indeed, this weapon is very deterrent.
But he had another doubt.
"Aunt Yunfang, how can you be sure that they will be willing to join us in the first place?"
Yun Fang smiled and said, "They already have properties in our tribe, so how could they give them up so easily? Don't you see how they treat their houses like precious jewels?"
Chu Xingyu nodded, finally understanding everything.
He said to Yunfang: "Aunt Yunfang, I will go with you to see Lord Liu in a while. I support all your decisions and I will let my soldiers cooperate with you. And from now on, these 500 soldiers will listen to you in everything on this continent."
Yunfang looked at Chu Xingyu. After being together for half a year, they had already developed a deep affection for each other.
Even though he was already a prince, nothing could change, he was just a 7-year-old child.
Now Chu Xingyu has become a part of Yunfang and Li Muwen's hearts.
Seeing that Chu Xingyu also trusted her so much, Yun Fang felt a little touched.
She patted Chu Xingyu on the head and said, "Thank you."
Together, the two of them came to the room of the soldier commander, Lord Liu.
Only then did Lord Liu come down from the city wall.
These soldiers have fought on the battlefield for many years. Later, they were transferred to the imperial city to guard it. It can be said that they have seen a lot.
But he had never seen a woman like Yunfang.
He also respected Yunfang in his heart, but they were more loyal to the royal family. If Chu Xingyu and Yunfang disagreed, they would only obey Chu Xingyu's orders.
Fortunately, Yunfang and Chu Xingyu remained consistent.
He didn't expect that Yun Fang and Chu Xingyu would come to him hand in hand just after the defense of the northern barbarian tribe was over.
This time, fighting the enemy was easier and simpler than he had imagined. He just relied on the musket that Yunfang took out to scare away the natives.
Seeing the two people coming, Liu Songming immediately bowed deeply to Chu Xingyu.
Chu Xingyu quickly asked Liu Songming to get up.
Liu Songming saluted Yunfang again, and Yunfang returned the salute and said, "Master Liu, there is no need to be polite. Prince Shou and I came here to discuss something with Master Liu."
Liu Songming quickly invited the two of them into the house and sit down.
He said, "If you need anything, just send someone to call me. Why bother Madam Yun and Prince Shou to come here in person?"
Yun Fang did not continue to be polite, but said softly: "During the process of cooperating with the people of the Dahe tribe to build houses and resisting foreign enemies together with them, did you observe what kind of people they are?"
Liu Songming thought for a moment and said, "Most of the people in the Dahe tribe are simple and innocent, and their ability to accept things is not bad, but they have no discipline, so it is a little difficult to manage them."
Yun Fang nodded and said, "Then I'll tell you directly! Tomorrow I will discuss with Tian, the leader of the Dahe tribe, about letting them join our tribe. If they agree to join, then I want our 500 soldiers to select 5 people from the Dahe tribe for training, and expand the number of soldiers to 3000."
Liu Songming was very happy when he heard that he would expand the number of soldiers under his command to 3000.
But he did not ignore Chu Xingyu's expression.
But after Yun Fang finished speaking, she immediately looked at Chu Xingyu.
Chu Xingyu noticed his expression and immediately nodded and said, "Master Liu, from now on, all matters concerning my 500 soldiers on this continent will be under the command of Aunt Yunfang."
Liu Songming immediately became serious.
He nodded and said to Yun Fang and Chu Xingyu, "I understand. I will convey this to every soldier in the army. I think what Madam Yun said about expanding the army is a good idea. With 3000 people, I believe we can fight any tribe we meet on this road."
Then he said as if to assure, "I promise here on behalf of every soldier that I will carefully teach the warriors selected by the Yamato tribe. Prince Shou and Madam Yun, please rest assured."
