Yang Song sat in front of his desk, looking at a letter in front of him, and felt a little excited for some reason. Although he knew that this day would come sooner or later, he didn't expect to actually encounter it, but he still felt a little uneasy.

This letter was a report sent back by the cavalry team who went out to explore. The report said that a team of cavalry encountered a group of "savages" wearing animal skins and holding simple weapons less than ten miles south of Mu Shou Town.

When they discovered these "savages", they were also discovered by the other party. In order to avoid losses and conflicts, the cavalry took the initiative to retreat, followed and observed these "savages" from a distance, and asked for instructions on what to do next.

This is the first time I have met the indigenous people of this world since I came to this world. I don’t know the social situation of the other party, what kind of system it is, what beliefs it has, whether it has any supernatural abilities, etc. These are all discredited at a glance. Only after contact can we know

Know.

So, Yang Song summoned several of his main officials to discuss countermeasures.

"We have called you all here today because we have finally discovered the people in this world." Yang Song held the letter in his hand and said to Yang Zhong, Shen Kuo and others below him at the main seat in the living room.

"You all take this letter and read it. After reading it, tell me what your plans are." After he finished speaking, he handed the letter to Yang Zhong, who was sitting on the front left hand. Yang Zhong stood up, took it with both hands, sat down, and started reading quickly.

Sitting behind Yang Zhong is Yang Li, who is in charge of propaganda, and behind him are other relevant officials. Sitting on the right are several military commanders.

After a while, the letter was circulated, and Yang Zhong began to suggest: "My subordinates suggest that we should be polite first and then send troops to send envoys to spy on the information."

After Yang Zhong spoke clearly and clearly, he sat down. Next to him, Zhou Wu, as a military attache, led the cavalry to explore the surrounding territory. He had his own opinions on this encounter, "Lord Qi, I believe that it is impossible to communicate with the other party.

It is better to send troops to expel them directly to save time and effort."

I didn’t expect that as a military attache, I would think that the difficulty in language communication is not simple. It seems that I usually read military books.

"What Zhou Wu said is true. Communication difficulty is the biggest problem, but in this world we live now, communication with other people is indispensable. This difficulty must be overcome." Yang Song first agreed with part of Zhou Wu's opinions,

Then he expressed his request.

"Sooner or later, you will have to send someone to learn the language of this world. Of course, the premise is that the other party has 'writing'." Yang Song continued.

"Reporting to the lord, my cavalry replied that the other party's lifestyle is no different from that of the savages, and I believe that there is nothing to communicate with the savages." Zhou Wu insisted on his point of view.

"Bold, the lord has already made a decision, Zhou Wu, you are so brave, how dare you disobey the lord." Yang Zhong suddenly became furious and roared at Zhou Wu who was standing aside.

"The lord atones for his sins. I am in a hurry, so I ask the lord to punish me." Zhou Wu also realized at this time and quickly apologized.

"Oh, it doesn't have to be like this. I said you can speak out as much as possible in meetings, and I won't blame you." Yang Song waved his hand to express that he was very generous and would not care.

As a military attache, Zhou Wu was not a politician. He always spoke his mind. Yang Song also understood. Moreover, as a military attache, he had been doing the work of exploring the territory and driving away wild beasts for more than a year. He was also very depressed. This time it was okay.

If there is an opportunity to perform easily, of course I will work hard for it.

These Yang Songs don't know it, but there is no way. The current territory is not in a war period, and it is impossible to become an enemy. Moreover, this status quo is the best. If a battle really breaks out, bloodshed and sacrifice will be inevitable.

Although the value of soldiers is best reflected on the battlefield, Yang Song hopes that this value will never be reflected.

"Thank you, lord. I will never offend the lord again." Seeing that Yang Song did not blame him, Zhou Wu was very moved and bowed deeply to Yang Song. Although he was a warrior, he also knew that the majesty of the lord was

Don't offend, otherwise you won't be able to convince the public and lead your subordinates. Just like a general without authority cannot lead his soldiers to fight.

"The lord is wise, and I admire you." Yang Zhong was also flattering him at this time. He seemed to be blaming Zhou Wu, but in fact he was giving Zhou Wu a reminder and giving Yang Song, as the lord, a step up, otherwise he would be in trouble in the future.

No one will listen to Yang Song's words.

Compared with military people, literati always have much more twists and turns and can see much more clearly. This is why most of the ruling class are literati. Even if the military commanders at the top do not understand politics, it is impossible.

Yang Song didn't think about it so much. He simply thought it was nothing. In his impression, a meeting was just a group of people expressing their different opinions and then discussing. It was normal to refute each other.

But after this experience, he seemed to have some enlightenment, and secretly reminded himself that he still had a lot to learn.

"Okay, next we need to send people to contact the other party first. Depending on the situation, Yang Zhong and Zhou Wu, you will each send people to form a mission to communicate with the other party. Is there anyone who needs to add more?"

Yang Song gave the order directly.

Finally, after discussion and supplementation, each ministry sent more or less a representative to the mission to prepare for a comprehensive inspection. In addition, in this world's first diplomatic event, the heads of each ministry did not want to be left behind. After all, this was a mission.

No one wants or dares to leave things recorded in the annals of history, otherwise people in the future will criticize them for their current inaction.

As a group of soldiers escorted the envoys out of the territory, it represented the beginning of an era, and the territory officially began to highlight its existence in this world.

Because the territory implements farming, all the people are soldiers, but these are militiamen with considerable combat effectiveness. Therefore, except for the 300 regular troops at the beginning, the territory now has no capital to fight. Defending one of its own branches and three parts of the territory will be enough, but

It is unrealistic to initiate a war proactively.

With the increase in the population of the territory, it is outrageous that there are only 300 regular troops in the territory of nearly 20,000 people. However, there is always a focus on development, because there was no fighting before, and just in case, it was just training the militia. Counting these

The militiamen trained during the off-season can still mobilize nearly 10,000 people during wartime. Think about it, in the current territory, there are 10,000 soldiers who can fight, which can be regarded as a precautionary measure.

Therefore, Yang Song decided to expand the regular army, preparing to expand it to 1,000 men. A thousand men is not a lot, equivalent to three times the army expansion, and too many retired soldiers will also affect the development of the territory. There are more than 600 and nearly 7

Yang Song and Yang Zhong decided on the number of people after a long discussion.

A thousand people used to be a reinforced battalion in the past, and most of them were logistics personnel, with only one-third of the combat personnel. This is also the current situation of the army, with more logistics support personnel.

However, all the regular troops involved in the expansion of the territory were combat personnel, and the logistics personnel were provided by the territorial militia. To this end, another department was established in the military headquarters, the Logistics Support Bureau, whose full name is the Logistics Support Bureau. Yang Ren is responsible for the management and management of this department.

Establish.

The Logistics Support Bureau is responsible for the logistics support of the army, including food, clothing, housing and transportation. It also stores and manages military rations in separate isolation. It is also a department directly under Yang Song. Only when the logistics support is in place can the army have combat effectiveness. On the other hand, it also consolidates Yang Song's control over the army.

of dominance.

No matter how powerful an army's combat effectiveness is, as long as it has no logistical support and no food to eat, it is just a thing of the past and poses no threat at all.

----------

It has been a month since the mission departed, and judging from the situation of the mission being sent back on time, it is not good.

The contact went very smoothly, but what I was most worried about was the situation that occurred, that is, the language was different and normal communication was impossible, and some unnecessary misunderstandings were caused during the process.

Fortunately, simple communication can be carried out through actions and other methods. Through various methods, the people in the mission are working hard to learn the other party's language and teach the other party their own language. These cannot be completed in a short time.

The most important thing is to know the social conditions of these indigenous people. Through gestures, dances, and newly learned simple vocabulary, I finally got a general idea of ​​the tribe and its surroundings.

The race of the people in this world is similar to that of the yellow race, but there are some differences. The dark yellow skin is very rough, the bridge of the nose looks smaller, the hair is brown, the pupils are also brown, and the height is about the same, with an average of 1.7 meters and only

The distribution of internal organs is unknown.

I also learned that the location of the territory was similar to the Indo-China Peninsula in the past, except that there were not so many mountains, but large plains. The mountainous area in the north of the territory was actually a mountain range, blocking the mainstream society of this world from communicating with this plain.

The people of this peninsula came over the mountains a long time ago. They were probably either refugees or explorers. But exactly how long ago it was, you can tell that it was quite a while since the people in this place degenerated into primitive tribes.

.

They have degraded to the point where they no longer even have clothes, only animal skins or grass skirts are used to cover their bodies. Food depends entirely on hunting, salvaging and gathering. They don’t even know what planting is, let alone other things. Their weapons are also made of bone and wood.

and made of stone.

There was no writing, so the language was probably passed down due to the need for daily communication. Weapons were not only used for hunting, but also for fighting over hunting grounds.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention this primitive tribal society. Fights between tribes are inevitable. If the envoys had not used food to seduce and use force to intimidate them, they would not have established a relationship with this tribe so easily.

communicate.

As he learned some information about the world through exchanges, Yang Song also divided the direction of exploration into two directions: north and south. The south was mainly to explore the distribution of various tribes, and the north was to explore whether there was a road that could cross the mountains to the other side.

.

The territory is located in the northeast of the peninsula. The north is relatively close to the mountains, only a day or two away. The east is only ten miles away from the sea. To the west is an endless forest. I don't know how big it is.

It seems that the location chosen by the system is really not chosen randomly. The territory is backed by mountains, seas and forests. Only the south has some primitive tribal-era indigenous people. Although the other side of the mountains is the main body of the world, Yang Song is not prepared to use the territory

The current strength is to fight against it.

This is not bravery, nor is it cowardice. Taking the initiative now is a mindless act.

No one in this world now knows about the existence of the territory except these tribes, but Yang Song knows about their existence, which puts the territory in an active position and has the initiative.

Even if a passage across the mountains is discovered, Yang Song will at most send personnel to inquire about intelligence and obtain information. Not to mention that he has not discovered any secret passages yet!
