Afterwards, Yunfang took out her military training plan. Although Tian was still illiterate, Yunfang had intended to let Tian know the importance of literacy. After forming the army, Yunfang wanted to give the natives a feast of knowledge.
In Yunfang's vision, by then, the indigenous children of school age will have to learn to read and write, and the indigenous management will also have to learn to read and write.
In fact, not only am I a native, but the soldiers under Yun Fang also need to be literate.
There are many soldiers who have no problem fighting on the battlefield, but they cannot read a single word, which makes it difficult for them to convey information in the future.
However, the people in Yunfang's caravan all took literacy classes before joining the caravan. In the future, they can also become teachers and teach the natives and illiterate soldiers some words.
However, these have to be advanced little by little. Just leave some impressions on Tian that literacy is very important.
Yunfang explained her plan to Tian bit by bit according to the plan she had written this morning.
Tian nodded after listening to this. He didn't expect that there were so many ways to train people in this world. The more he interacted with Yun Fang, the more he saw that the door to a new world was slowly opening to him.
After Yunfang finished telling the plan, Tian was confused, but his intuition told him that this would definitely work.
There were some parts he didn't quite understand, and he had an idea in his mind: if he could recognize the symbols written on paper, then he could keep what Yunfang wrote and study the parts he didn't understand.
But it is too early to talk about learning to read and write now. We still need to notify the people of the merger of the tribes, and then select warriors to form an army together with the people of Qianyuan tribe.
Yunfang told Tian to give him three days to notify everyone in the Dahe tribe. Three days later in the morning, soldiers from the Qianyuan tribe would come to the outer city square to select them.
After Yunfang returned to the inner city, she also summoned everyone except the soldiers guarding the city walls, including the two children Chu Xingyu and Li Weiheng, and announced the news of merging with the Dahe tribe.
For a moment, everyone found it hard to accept. They would return to the Qianyuan Dynasty in ten years. Was it meaningful to merge now? Moreover, they were much better than the natives in terms of culture and technology. After the merger, they would have to help them in every way! This seemed to be asking for trouble.
Yun Fang explained, "We have too few people. Without cooperation with the natives, we will never be able to cultivate the right seeds and dig out all the species that are useful to the Qianyuan Dynasty on this continent. Moreover, this continent is not necessarily safe. There is strength in numbers, right? Another point is that from a long-term perspective, thousands of years later, when everyone can come to this continent by boat, even if we return to the Qianyuan Dynasty ten years later, our names will already remain on this continent and may be remembered by the world. Don't you want such a legend?"
Yunfang only recently thought of exploring the history of this continent in the other world. After seeing that this continent was occupied by people from the European continent thousands of years later, and that they formed a very powerful country and even directly or indirectly oppressed the Chinese people, Yunfang was filled with indignation. She felt that she should do something to promote the self-development and strength of the people on this continent.
However, Yunfang cannot tell what will happen in the future, and the future of the other world must be different from that of this world. At least when they set foot on this continent, history must have taken a turning point.
Hearing Yunfang's words, everyone present was shocked. They knew that Yunfang was a knowledgeable person, but they didn't expect that her mind had gone beyond the present and focused on the future.
But what Yunfang said was not wrong. Merging with the indigenous tribe would indeed bring many benefits, even if it would cost some effort.
Seeing that everyone accepted her proposal, Yun Fang said to the soldiers, "Three days from now, those who are willing to join the army will be led by Tian from the Dahe tribe and gather at the outer city square. Each of you will pick five people and train them. I will let Lord Li teach you the training methods.
I will let the caravan guard the watchtower on the city wall first, and you will focus on training during this period of time."
On the caravan side, Yun Fang picked out the people who had been guarding the city wall during this period, and selected fifty of them.
Then he picked out a hundred people who were very literate and told them, "Wait until three days later, I need you to compile a list of the natives. I will tell the Heaven of the Great River Tribe that if there are people with the same name in their tribe, they can add a surname to their name, just like ours. You must make sure that no one is missed and that they are included in the list."
The people in the indigenous tribe all have single-character names, and some even have three generations of a family using the same character. So Yun Fang sent a hundred people to count the names to ensure that the results were correct.
Of course, in addition to counting names and numbers, Yunfang also asked them to record their age and what they are good at, so as to facilitate management in the future.
The people in the caravan have been following Yunfang for a long time and they can carry out Yunfang's orders very well.
There were still some people left, and Yunfang asked them to cook for the soldiers in training in the early stage of the chaos, and then make further arrangements after the merger of the two tribes was resolved.
In this way, Yun Fang used one day to arrange what the people on her side should do next. Now she has to wait three days to see how the people of the Dahe tribe react.
Tian's side of the Dahe tribe has a large number of people, so he cannot convey the news of merging the tribes all at once, but instead finds the captains of the hunting teams.
After telling them the results of his discussion with Yunfang, everyone was very happy. Just this house made them and their men never want to move again, not to mention that Yunfang had so many magical things in her hands. If they became members of a tribe in the future, maybe they would have the chance to use them!
Then Tian mentioned Yunfang's plan to form an army, which caused dissatisfaction among several hunting team captains. They said, "Our warriors are all brave, why should we let their people choose and train them? If they don't have weapons in their hands, I don't think anyone over there can be our opponent!"
Tian also had this idea at first, but after listening to Yunfang's plan, he, who had many years of hunting experience, also agreed that with such training, the fighting power would definitely be greatly improved.
It was a little difficult for him to repeat Yunfang's words, and he began to think that it would be great if he could recognize the symbols on the paper.
He could only try to say what he could, but this also shocked the captains of the hunting teams. After hearing that only 2,500 warriors were selected, they couldn't help but start planning how to make the people in their hunting teams appear more powerful so that they could be selected.
