Xu Chen's arrival caused a sensation among the entire Uzbek people.
In addition to the four families that had moved to the foot of the mountain, all the Uzbek tribe leaders and a group of other tribal leaders also quickly led members of their respective families down the mountain. Hundreds of men, women, and children from the Uzbek tribe lined the river beach to welcome them.
.
A dragon flag, a royal flag, and a snake-shaped Ba flag with green stripes were held high in the hands of three young men and they walked forward, leading the neat team through the crowd, and finally stopped at the newly built compound.
Front.
"Morning Ga, Fang Xiu Cheng Ga!"
A group of men who had returned from studying in the Ba tribe gathered around Xu Chen, excitedly asking for credit.
“Well done, it seems everyone is studying hard and conscientiously!”
Surrounded by hundreds of people like stars holding the moon, Xu Chen patted the shoulders of a group of learning craftsmen and praised them profusely.
Although this house looks very stretched, which is quite different from the compound of the Ba people, overall there is nothing wrong with it. At most, the walls are not flat enough, the beams and purlins on the roof are not placed properly, and the thatch
The coverage is not even enough, but the overall structure still looks qualified, and there are no obvious symptoms such as distortion.
This house is at least much better than the row of small stone houses Xu Chen built in the kiln for the first time.
Just as Xu Chen was watching in front of the house, on the river beach leading to the valley, a large group of hunters came running in an orderly queue, led by a burly man wearing simple leather armor, holding a
Holding a spear as thick as an arm and with an excited face, he is none other than the Uzbek warrior Long.
A group of people passed through the crowd of onlookers and ran straight to Xu Chen.
"Stand still, line up, and count!"
"One quack, two quack, three quack, four quack..."
The ten hunters quickly finished counting, and Long turned to Xu Chen and stood at attention, clasping his fists: "Your Majesty the Witch King, the first group of the Uzbek training team has finished lining up, please give instructions!"
Xu Chen nodded slightly, crossed his arms and legs behind his back, and faced the Uzbek hunters who were lined up.
"Stand at attention and take a rest!"
"I am very happy to see that everyone is training hard. The purpose of military training is to strengthen our physique, strengthen our fighting spirit, improve our combat effectiveness, so that we have enough strength to protect our relatives, tribes and allies. I
This time, I brought you a gift blessed by the great witch..."
Xu Chen turned around and said, "Come here, take out the flag of the Uzbek people!"
"Follow the order!"
A Ba hunter clasped his fists and quickly took out a neatly folded piece of linen cloth from his backpack. Xu Chen asked someone to pull it away, and saw a huge black bird painted in the center of this white flag that was eight feet long and four feet wide.
, the lines are abstract and simple, looking like a pictographic "wu" character.
"Wow~"
The crowd of onlookers broke out into a violent commotion. Long's hands and feet were trembling with excitement. He gently touched the pattern on the flag with his hand and asked with a trembling voice: "Send Wu Gaga?"
"Yes, this is the flag of your Uzbek people. From now on when you train and go on an expedition, you must bring the flag with you just like the Ba people. Come here and put the flagpole on!"
Xu Chen nodded and gave instructions. Immediately, a Ba tribe member took a three-meter-high slender wooden stick from the captive legion. They quickly put the flag on it and tied it up and down with the hemp rope that came with it.
"Blow the horn, line up, and give the flag!"
"Woooooo~~~"
Gu raised his hand and blew the golden horn, and the melodious and resonant sound rang out. A group of Ba hunters and the incoming captive army also quickly lined up next to the Uzbek team. The count was soon completed, and the commander returned to the team.
The hundreds of people watching the excitement fell silent instantly.
The atmosphere at the scene was momentarily quiet and solemn.
Under the three-pole hunting flag, Xu Chen solemnly handed the Uzbek flag to Long's hands with both hands, and stood at attention and said:
"From now on, this is the flag of your Uzbek tribe, and it represents the Uzbek tribe. You must protect it and love it just like you protect yourself and your tribe. Please take the flag!"
"Uga~"
Long excitedly raised the flagpole high, roared and waved back and forth.
"Uga~"
The Uzbek hunters lined up followed by howling like ghosts and wolves.
"Wuga~wuga~wuga~~"
Many Uzbek people who were watching became even more excited, and men, women, old and young burst into loud shouts and cheers.
Ever since they saw the flag of the Ba people, the Uzbek people have always wanted to have their own flag. Although they all know that the flag is made of linen, they dare not make it because many people feel that it must be wrong if they make it.
I don’t know what it will look like, because no matter what it looks like, some people will be dissatisfied.
But the flag Xu Chen gave them today perfectly solved all the problems.
Because this is a gift made by Xu Chen and blessed by the great witch, it carries a sacred aura. From the moment it is lifted, the hunters of the Wu tribe will be blessed by the gods.
"In addition, I also brought you another new gift..."
Xu Chen turned around and stretched out his hand to Gu. Gu quickly took out an object wrapped in animal skin from the backpack next to him. He opened it and found that it turned out to be a bark horn.
However, this bark horn is not randomly rolled out of willow bark in the past, but a horn rolled out of a whole piece of dry, strong bark. It is cut and polished flat and smooth, and the joints are bonded with isinglass.
It is very strong. For the sake of strength, several copper bars are tied in the middle, and the waist is also inlaid with a circle of colorful gems in gold.
"This is your horn. You will need the guidance of this horn for future training and expeditions!"
"Sheiga!"
Long was so excited that he quickly took over the horn again, holding the flag in one hand and the trumpet in the other. He was excited, nervous, and a little bit at a loss for fun.
"It seems you still need a flag bearer and trumpeter, please arrange them as soon as possible!"
"The flag bearer is quack, the trumpeter is quack..."
Long suddenly understood. He scanned the crowd of onlookers and quickly called out two names. He saw two teenagers about the same age as Gu Ju walking out with faces full of surprise.
Long stepped forward and handed the flag and horn to the two teenagers respectively, and shouted a few words. Soon, the two teenagers, one holding the flag and the other taking the trumpet, walked to the front of the Uzbek team and stood up straight, with their heads held high and their arms and legs excited.
They were all trembling a little.
"Try to blow it down!" Xu Chen reminded with a smile.
The boy holding the trumpet raised the horn very nervously and blew hard with all his strength. The horn made a sound like an old cow's throat that was out of breath.
"Teach him the ancient religion and disband the others!"
Xu Chen waved his hand and announced the disbandment of the team.
Flags and horns are two indispensable items for the army. They not only stabilize military morale, but also provide command and order.
Although the other three chief and deputy leaders he appointed are not here, in fact, the one he values most is Long.
Regardless of prestige or strength, Long is the best choice for the Uzbek military leader.
Today's inspection was led by Long, who was training. A group of Uzbek people seemed to have some strict rules and regulations. It could be seen that the training of the Uzbek people should be carried out with Long as the core, and the daily training was also more serious and hard-working.
Knowing people well and assigning them well is the basic rule of employment in any period.
The Wu tribe is huge and has complex internal conflicts, and only a core leader like Long, a warrior-level leader, can hold them back.
Although he appointed three additional chief and deputy officers at the beginning, it was more to put some pressure on Long. Of course, the other three chief and deputy command and training officers had undergone more than a month of training and study in the Ba tribe, and they were more familiar with training disciplines than Long.
And training methods and rules also require their correct training and guidance.
As for serious command and fighting, Long is obviously more suitable than them.
After completing the flag-presenting ceremony, Xu Chen took the time to meet with the Uzbek tribe leader and a group of tribal leaders.
Yes, just an interview.
Xu Chen's reputation is now at its peak among the six tribes. After he led a long-distance raid to conquer the Gonghuo tribe, his reputation and prestige reached the peak.
The leader of the Uzbek tribe and a group of tribal leaders who were previously dissatisfied with Xu Chen have been completely marginalized because they refused to support Xu Chen's military operation to rescue the Cang tribe.
Is an object of contempt.
When the Great Witch was there, the Wu tribe was the most powerful protective umbrella for the other five tribes. It spread its wings to protect the survival of other tribes, and thus gained the support and respect of other tribes. Even at that time, the leader of the Wu tribe and other leaders
He always has a superior aura, and other tribes are always able to deal with him kindly, and even express their gratitude to the Uzbek tribe.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the great witch passed away, the Uzbek tribe started to recruit people again and again, and the internal conflicts that had accumulated for a long time also broke out.
Xu Chen also took the opportunity to cause trouble. He made a comeback at the witchcraft conference and established his own great witchcraft belief and inheritance. He took advantage of the internal conflicts of the Uzbek people to complete a counterattack, allowing the Ba people to successfully ascend to the leadership of the alliance.
The other four tribes fell into the arms of the great witch under Xu Chen's plan to win over them in advance, and the Wu tribe was immediately completely isolated.
And this time the rescue of the Cang people can be said to have completely destroyed the Wu people's popularity, and there is no chance or possibility of recovery.
Recently, the Uzbek people are farming, building houses, and mining, but in fact they have little to do with a group of marginalized Uzbek forces such as the Uzbek chiefs.
If they continue to oppose Xu Chen, the result will be to completely lose the support of the Uzbek people and eventually be excluded from the Uzbek management.
Because the new shamans of the Wu tribe have already turned to Xu Chen and the Ba tribe.
After all, their twin sisters are both witches, so they naturally feel close to each other.
Regardless of the favorable weather, location, and people, the forces represented by the Wu clan leader no longer had the slightest ability to fight against Xu Chen.
Therefore, even if Xu Chen is not a witch or the leader of the Ba clan, but at most a core leader, they still have to lower their heads and accept the reality in front of them.
A group of female leaders who have lost the support of tribal men have no way to protect themselves.
Under Xu Chen's support and guidance, the Uzbek men are now very motivated. They are training, mining, and building houses in full swing. They are full of energy and fighting spirit. Especially stimulated by Xu Chen's military merit awards, a group of volunteer families have won
In exchange for generous rewards, each family was compensated with dozens of pieces of pottery and some linen according to the number of volunteers. None of these rewards were involved in the internal distribution of the family.
This kind of privatized profit distribution has had a huge impact on the entire Uzbek people.
Even many family leaders who support the leader of the Uzbek tribe have recently changed their attitudes very obviously. They have begun to renounce their loyalty and no longer participate in the tribal meetings convened by the Uzbek tribe leader. Instead, they are fighting fiercely with the other four tribal leaders who have fallen into Xu Chen's arms early.
