These soldiers don't understand the truth, but they know how to empathize, because they come from ordinary herdsmen. Although the people here are different from them, these people have also been oppressed and enslaved for thousands of years.
Although many people have become numb, as long as life goes on, they don't want to resist, because they know that any resistance is useless, and the rulers of each generation are different.
Many people numbly place all their hopes on their gods, but the arrival of these soldiers, their personal experiences, and their words and deeds have made these people understand that the world is not the same!
Not all places are the same as they are here.
These people just haven't seen the world and don't know life in the outside world. They are not stupid.
So under the guidance of these soldiers, they began to study the characters of the Tang Dynasty at night and began to learn to speak the language of the Tang Dynasty. These soldiers also helped them farm and repair their houses. Is there such a good ruler in the world? They have never seen it before.
No one does not want to live a good life. It is not that there have been resisters and insurrectionists on this continent, but they have all been suppressed.
When a person comes into contact with beautiful things, he can feel what life was like before. When something belongs to them, they know how to struggle and cherish.
So these people who had failed under the Harsha Dynasty and other rulers began to become diligent and studious.
And the prestige of these soldiers is getting higher and higher. In this magical land, it is sometimes very simple to gain prestige.
So when Niu Jinda's order was passed down, these low-level squad leader soldiers thought that this was indeed the case. When they were in Tuyuhun, His Highness also told them the same thing, to let them take up arms to protect themselves.
But these people are not as good as the nomads. They were herdsmen after all, and they could at least hunt and ride horses, but these people don't, so these people need to be trained.
These low-level squad leader soldiers naturally began to train these people the same way Li Ke trained them. While training, they also told them that the gods they believed in were all fake. If they could be saved, they would have been saved long ago. Came to save them.
Now instead of relying on those gods, relying on themselves, aren't they still living a good life? At least there is no oppression here, and more importantly...these soldiers treat them, who were originally the lowest level, equally!
This kind of respect is what touches people's hearts the most.
Once some thoughts are planted, it is difficult to uproot them. When these people get better and better, they want to attract their relatives and friends to come over.
This is why more and more people are coming here even though Ashulu and the others don't know the reason.
And not only here, but also on the edge of Persia, Persian people gradually began to flee here, because the caste system itself arose from the rule of the Aryans.
Sasanian Persia also had a caste system. Although the name was different, it was actually the same. The borders in this era were not as strict as in later generations, so many Persian civilians who also felt this came over.
And the most amazing thing about this land is that, as long as there are no foreign enemies, because of the thoughts of these people and the fact that they have lived such a life for the first time, they have become very honest. The territory controlled by Ashlyu is actually only these squad leaders. As an official, everything was peaceful and peaceful, and there were no big problems.
Just as the New Year of the Tang Dynasty arrived, the exchange business had already been stopped in Persia, and Ashluze, who had become the Ashina clan, received a piece of news that shocked him.
"You said that the nobles of the country of Sind were killed by his soldiers, and then the other party wanted to surrender to our Mongolian tribe?" The people of Ashlu were confused.
This really has nothing to do with them, he just received the news.
"Yes, we have just received the news. I have sent soldiers to receive it. Anyway, it is not in vain. It just so happens that we have taken over all the land in this Sindh country. The entire Mongolian River (Indus River) basin is under our control. Now, we can help His Highness with farming! More importantly, we are bordering the Baling Peninsula of Datang and are already connected together. In this way, if His Highness has any problems there, we can provide support at any time." Niu Jinda said simply .
"Ashilu Khan, you have to write a memorial now and ask for weapons from His Highness, or support us with some craftsmen. We can also make some leather armor ourselves. Now our territory is a bit big and we have few soldiers." Niu Jinda looked at it. Asked Ashilu and said.
Ashlyu: "..."
I am just an ordinary shopkeeper, I just want to follow His Highness, act under His Highness's command and be a businessman, how come I have become a Khan.
The problem is that this is what His Highness arranged, so he can only do this.
"General Niu, General Murong, if there are not enough soldiers, you can train these common people. Anyway, His Highness gives them too much preferential treatment." Ashlyu thought for a moment and said.
"Well, didn't you order them to train first before? The boys below did a good job. They didn't train them in vain in Xizhou. They are now trained in a decent way. According to His Highness, they are now at the militia level. , If you strengthen your training, you will have no problem becoming an ordinary soldier." Niu Jinda was very happy.
But what Niu Jinda didn't know was that the level of militia he mentioned was almost as high as that of elite soldiers in places like the Harsha Dynasty.
"That's okay. Let them strengthen their training a little bit, and then expand the scope. In this way, if there is an enemy in the future, we will have a basis for temporarily deploying soldiers. I remember it was said in His Highness's training manual that this is called Militia, or reserve force can also be called." Murong Shun nodded.
"Okay, anyway, let them gather all the men of the right age and train them when they have nothing to do. It doesn't matter how strong they are, but at least if they are temporarily transferred in the future, they won't know nothing. Anyway, there is a lot of food for farming here. Many times they don't have much to do." Niu Jinda also agreed.
"Then I'll write a letter to Protector Pei first." Ashulu nodded. Pei Xingjian was appointed as the Protector of the Middle East Protectorate before Li Ke left, temporarily controlling all ports and overseas territories in this area.
Pei Xingjian, who received Ashilu's letter and memorial, was also speechless. Is this considered unintentional? He read Ashiru's letter, which asked him to support some ministers and craftsmen. Fortunately for the craftsmen, he had a way. Currently, he is following His Highness's instructions. The latest fleet has sent craftsmen to build factories to support several No problem personally.
But the minister really had no choice. Pei Xingjian himself lacked craftsmen. As for the memorial written by Ashilu to Li Ke, he naturally would not read it. He replied to Ashilu and Pei Xingjian also wrote a memorial. Together with the memorials of the law, they were sent to the Tang Dynasty by fleet.
