Similar scenes happened everywhere in the Xianbei Royal Court.
Among the female soldiers, except for the two hundred medical personnel who were rescuing the wounded soldiers, the others were busy registering the population.
Of course, they are not literate, but this does not mean that they cannot complete the tasks assigned to them.
Symbols are the most primitive fonts. Through some unified symbols, it is natural to know how many people there are in the Xianbei Royal Court.
When the time comes, it will be easier to hand it over to Hui and Lu Mu.
The female soldiers were busy registering, and most of Wang Li's subordinates also went out. Firstly, to protect the female soldiers, and secondly, there were still some high-ranking people in the royal court who needed to be cleaned up.
The belief spread by Zhang Qi is not as effective for them as ordinary herdsmen. These superiors have already enjoyed what they should enjoy. If they are asked to hand over their own interests, it is better to kill them.
That's what Zhang Qi did, kill.
More than a hundred female soldiers, the entire Xianbei Royal Court, by the time they were registered and the food was distributed, the sun was almost setting.
There is no need to subsidize food. The Xianbei Royal Court itself stores a large amount of cheese.
It's just that in the past, these foods were given priority to the Xianbei nobles, but now Zhang Qi just took them out and divided them.
Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for people, whether they are farming or nomadic, this is the same.
Zhang Qi's move calmed the hearts of many Xianbei people, and also made some Xianbei people feel that following Zhang Qi was not a bad thing.
This is just the first step.
Let people eat first, then they will feel at ease after they are full.
The next step is to wait for Hui and the others to arrive.
After Zhang Qi's devout believers arrived, they lived with the Xianbei people. After performing miracles, these believers became the best missionaries.
For three or four days in a row.
Ying and Hu Shui have not returned yet.
The weather in the Xianbei Royal Court has also changed slightly from three or four days ago. At least the dark cloud hanging over the heads of all the Xianbei people has slowly dissipated, and Xianbei herdsmen can be seen in the royal court again in twos and threes.
"Your Majesty, these are the Xianbei population calculated."
In the royal tent, Na Qi respectfully handed over a piece of cloth. As an army leader who had been implanted with spiritual seeds, Na Qi also studied writing with Wang Li.
Although the handwriting is crooked, Zhang Qi can still recognize it.
"Well, you have finished counting these days. You are still suitable for fighting and killing."
Zhang Qi looked at the information on the cloth and laughed at Naqi.
That was also a smile. Indeed, she preferred fighting with the army to reading, writing, and treating the wounded.
"There are 2,700 men and more than 5,300 women. Among the children, there are more boys than girls."
After reading the cloth, Zhang Qi muttered.
"Of course, boys are more favored, so they have a higher chance of survival, and girls..." Naqi's expression was a little darker, "It's okay not to mention it."
Zhang Qi chuckled twice: "That's why I formed the female soldiers. Your presence is my way of telling everyone that, regardless of gender, as long as they are useful to me, they are all valuable people."
"Okay, there is no need to act like a daughter. Let the female soldiers pay attention to those children, Cong Hui. When Hui and the others arrive, determine the number of people. Tentatively, they will be two hundred, and they will follow me into the Kingdom of God on the day of Advent."
"promise!"
In the yurt, Naqi knelt down on one knee and accepted the order.
Outside the king's court, a platform was being built. There were so many captives, and Zhang Qi would not let them eat for free. They had to work and show their worth to be eligible for food.
Moreover, Zhang Qi believed that he was not too harsh on them. In addition to adopting the continuous sitting system, he did not reduce the portions of food.
Of course, there is no meat or fish. After all, they are soldiers. If they eat too much and gain strength, they will inevitably have evil intentions.
The situation in the Royal Court was completely under control, and throughout the Xianbei grassland, Ying, with his 700 soldiers and more than 30 Kuset soldiers, was also sweeping through various tribes.
The Bulu Fox Tribe.
This is the most powerful Xianbei nobleman besides the Xianbei Royal Court. Their tribe leader has long been captured by Zhang Qi and others and secretly killed.
Now in the eyes of the eagle, these people are just a piece of loose sand.
Seven hundred iron cavalry mixed with cavalry and cutting troops easily and happily defeated the Buluhu clan. The clan dignitaries were eliminated as usual. The clan herdsmen adopted a system of sitting together and assigned two hundred people to guard them.
The farther back the tribes went, the easier it became to attack, until the last nobles of the Hexi clan perished, and the entire Xianbei nobility disappeared in the long river of time.
It took nearly twenty days for Ying and the others to send the tribal herdsmen back to the Xianbei royal court one after another.
However, Hui and the others hadn't arrived yet. Fortunately, a patrol sentry came back to pass the news. The slow speed was due to the large number of things, and the fact that the carriage in the forest was difficult to move, so they couldn't move faster, and no accident occurred.
No matter, just slow down, as long as nothing bad happens, Zhang Qi can accept it.
The herdsmen who were sent back were also registered, and the number was not much different from what Zhang Qi learned. The combined population of the major tribes was only more than 7,000, and there were nearly a thousand children among them.
More than three thousand men and more than three thousand women.
There are more women than men in the Royal Court. Although the same is true for several other tribes, after being integrated together, the male-to-female ratio miraculously equalized.
Counting the population in the royal court, Zhang Qi now has more than 6,000 men, more than 9,000 women, and about 3,000 children.
These people are under unified management, and the female soldiers are very busy.
The wounded have been basically stabilized in this nearly one month, and nearly 300 of the 400 seriously injured people have been rescued. Although the 60% rescue rate is not high, it is better than 100% death. Quite a few.
And the potential benefit of successfully rescuing the wounded is that the wounded in Xianbei are somewhat enamored of Zhang Qi.
It’s all about fighting, and who wouldn’t want to follow someone who will try to save them?
They are considered to be the first batch of Xianbei people to join forces with Zhang Qi. With a start, the rest will be easier to do.
In front of all the Xianbei prisoners, Zhang Qi gathered the wounded Xianbei soldiers who had surrendered to him.
What position was Zeng Jin in Xianbei? It is still the same today.
There were about 200 wounded Xianbei people rescued, including five Baichang people.
These five Zhang Qi still let them serve as hundred commanders, but the leaders were dispatched from Wang Li, Ying, Hu Shui and other tribes.
The other injured Xianbei soldiers who were rescued were dispersed and incorporated into the army of Wang Li and others.
With Mingzhu in front of him, Zhang Qi received more and more requests for submission in the next few days.
Naturally, Zhang Qi would not treat these prisoners the same way as he did with the wounded soldiers.
Prisoners are prisoners. There is no grudge but hatred between them. Wounded soldiers are different. Even if there was some grudge before, their lives were saved by Zhang Qi. From a sincere level, they are definitely better than the captives.
All the prisoners who surrendered were dispersed and organized into various units. Most of the nearly two thousand Xianbei prisoners surrendered, and the rest continued to grind slowly.
