Huang Yi's guess was correct. Every day in the next few days, the escaped knights came back to beg for surrender. A total of twenty-seven knights came back.
Huang Yi set the rule that those who voluntarily surrender should have their families and property returned.
These knights who surrendered immediately felt relieved when they found that they had nothing to lose by changing their leader.
It was also during these days that Huang Yi met the Qiqi who came to report the news, and the leader was Karitu.
This Mongolian warrior with well-developed limbs and simple mind was already in admiration for Huang Yi. When he saw Huang Yi, he immediately dismounted from his horse and saluted. Le Zizi told Huang Yi that the camp was indeed blessed by the gods and had not been attacked by anyone.
The women who stayed in the camp were busy cutting grass to prepare for the winter.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and finally snowflakes began to fall. Fortunately, the first snowfall was not too severe, and it stopped after a short while.
Huang Yi calculated based on the date informed by Zhang Dong that this time should be early October of the second year of Chongzhen, which may be November using the Gregorian calendar.
The combined tribe looked very large, with a population of more than 2,300.
Due to the small loss of cattle, sheep and food, the population decreased by several hundred, so the newly formed tribe had no worries about food and clothing for the time being.
During this period, Huang Yi lived on horseback almost every day, and his riding skills improved by leaps and bounds. He was now able to ride without falling behind when galloping.
Huang Dazhi, Huang Dayong and other young people participated in the battle and grew up quickly, becoming somewhat murderous.
Now they are all practicing riding and shooting hard.
Amuguleng has fully recovered. He, his younger brother Agudamu, and nine knights such as Chalahe, Gerda, and Yamoboli are the warriors with the strongest defense and combat effectiveness among Huang Yi's subordinates.
He liked the Chinese name Huang Yi gave Agudamu and asked Huang Yi to help him choose one.
Ever since, Amu Gureng has a well-known Chinese name - Tiger Roaring Valley.
The total number of Han citizens belonging to Huang Yi has reached 267.
There are many new slaves in the tribe that has doubled in strength, but there are no Han slaves anymore.
That was when Huang Yi explained the results of the battle along the way on the day he met Hedanbaat'er, and he sincerely asked Hedanbaatar to take over the surrendered Mongolian families on the way.
He made a small request, asking Hedanbaat'er to give him all the Han slaves in the original tribe.
It didn't matter that those Han slaves belonged to different families.
Hedanbaatar can be exchanged for other slaves or cattle and sheep.
There are many slaves in this tribe now, and a small half of them are from the original Harbala tribe.
The reason is very simple. The tribe led the Jiannu and Kachagute tribes to attack, resulting in the death of more than twenty knights below Geerleng.
Therefore, except for the twenty knights of the Harbala tribe who voluntarily surrendered and were able to return their children, cattle, sheep and horses, the other families became slaves, numbering more than two hundred.
The rest of the slaves were composed of families of enemy knights killed in battle, numbering four to five hundred.
These knights died resisting the attack of Hedanbaatar's tribe. Of course, they could not receive preferential treatment. They did not massacre their wives and children in revenge. Just being slaves was considered very kind.
There were many slaves and Huang Yi was famous, so there was no resistance to transferring Han slaves to Huang Yi.
In addition to Huang Dazhi, the teenagers Huang Yi is currently focusing on training include twenty-seven boys between the ages of thirteen and sixteen.
In fact, in this era, no one treats teenage men as children.
That was due to Huang Yi's mental age. In his eyes, his son in his twenties was a child, not to mention a teenager.
Next, every time when the sky is bright, there will be a scene among the migrating tribes.
That was Huang Yi shouting the password, and the teenagers including Wang Baishan, Huxiaochuan, Huxiaogu, Gerda, Ya Moboli, Zhao Yong, Li Wanquan, Zuo Guanghu, etc. all followed suit...
The tribes could not move quickly, and they could not move more than three poles before sunrise. Moreover, they had to try their best to let the cattle and sheep eat more pasture to gain autumn fat before the snow was so thick that it completely covered the pastures and the ice became hard.
All the men and women were busy cutting hay, which would be enough for the remaining cattle, sheep, and horses to survive the winter.
Huang Yi has a large population, so of course the grass needs to be cut and stored, but the running exercises done by teenagers and young adults every morning are unstoppable.
He has not named the newly adopted boy yet.
He announced in a high-profile manner that only those who were most attentive in studying literature and martial arts, least afraid of hardship, and most spiritual would be given names and accepted as servants, and those who were lazy and useless would be driven away.
Following Huang Yi, no one bullied him, and everyone was well fed and clothed. The teenagers were grateful and eager to stay forever, and they all trained hard.
The two Mongolian knights, Huxiaochuan, Chalahe, Yamoboli and other nine Mongolian knights were very good at riding horses, but not at running.
But Huang Yi still asked them to persist.
Of course the reasons must be explained. Who can ensure that everyone can ride a horse during a war? What should you do if you encounter mountains, deep forests, or swamps?
Or what if the horse is killed?
The faster you run than others, the greater your chance of survival.
Among all the people who participated in practicing martial arts, the scholar Wang Baishan was the most active. Although his physical strength was very poor, he was determined not to complain about being tired.
Wang Baishan's family was originally a landowner in Liaodong. They did not have thousands of acres of fertile land, but they still had several thousand acres of fertile land.
The family has a population of more than one hundred.
Now Wang Baishan has no idea how many members of the entire Wang family are left. Is he the only one left?
He had a deep feud with Jiannu, and the reason why he did not commit suicide was because he was looking forward to the day when Wang Shibei would decide Liaodong.
However, time flies, year after year, and in the blink of an eye, he has been a slave for eight years.
Just when he was despairing and thinking about the rest of his life, the good news came that seven armored slaves had been killed.
When the Kachagute tribe was attacked that night, Wang Baishan was sure that the tribe that killed seven slaves was seeking revenge.
What finally surprised him was that one of the leaders was actually Han Chinese.
From that moment on, Wang Baishan did not want to die a wronged death. He wanted to learn how to use swords and spears. He was eager to kill Jiannu, and the more he killed, the better.
It’s not easy to practice martial arts! Wang Baishan, who is in a weak body, grits his teeth and persists every day.
Of course Huang Yi noticed his performance. Make stricter demands on him.
When practicing martial arts, Wang Baishan was the laggard, but when it came to studying essays, it was completely different. He had become Huang Yi's assistant, responsible for dictating new words for everyone and correcting their pronunciation.
He also put forward the suggestion of teaching "The Three Character Classic" to all enlightened adults and children, which was adopted by Huang Yi.
Wang Baishan wrote the "Three Character Classic" silently on kraft paper with a pen. He was a scholar, so of course he could write beautiful calligraphy. Although it was his first time to use a hard pen, his handwriting was no worse than Huang Yi's.
He admired the ingenuity of this magic pen and lamented that it was so convenient to write with such a magic pen.
well! It's a pity that the pen is disposable. Once the ink in it is used up, there will definitely be no second one in the world.
Therefore, Huang Yi usually does not use this pen, only for writing teaching materials.
