Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 99
The hot sun was pouring down on the earth, and the sky was cloudless.

But such a bright weather was no match for the gloomy look on Zai Yu's face.

Standing on a higher hill, looking down at the group of wild men who were practicing, he suddenly had a feeling that he didn't know how to evaluate it.

It is not easy for 36 people to play the same set of stick techniques and to play 36 kinds of routines!

The following 36 people are young and middle-aged men carefully selected by Zaiyu from the 36 savage families who took refuge in his name.

Originally, Zaiyu's idea was to train them into elite troops under his command, to serve as trailblazers or as personal guards.

But it was obvious that Zai Yu had overestimated the execution ability of these savages.

A few days ago, when Zai Yu was viewing videos of military parades in various countries in his dream, he was still laughing at the excellent matching mechanism in the African region. He joked that the coordination between infantry and tanks only required tanks not to overwhelm people.

But looking back now, our spring and autumn matching mechanism is not good!

Among other things, if I come up with a tank now, these 36 people will be crushed to death!
Jae Yu took out the "Ji Xiao New Book" in his sleeve, glanced at it twice, then sighed, and put it back again.

High-end goods like "Ji Xiao's New Book" are not suitable for this group of savages, at least in the short term.

No wonder these military books say that generals who can command are only low-level generals, generals who can guarantee logistics transportation are middle-level generals, and only generals who can train troops are high-level generals.

Only able to command, no logistics, how to fight and lose.

If you can do logistics, if you don’t train well, you are doing logistics.

Only those who are proficient in all three can be truly useful generals!
It's useless to engage in these fancy things now, I'd better follow Sun Tzu's military training method and start with orders and prohibitions!
But orders and prohibitions must start from Liwei Lixin.

Jae Yu stood on the hill and shouted: "Everyone stop!"

As soon as Zaiyu said this, more than half of the savages immediately stopped moving, but there were still a few people who were still waving sticks.

Seeing this, Zai Yu frowned and said sharply, "Why don't you guys stop?"

Seeing that Jaeyu was angry, the wild man on the side hurriedly corrected his companion.

Others hurriedly fell on the ground to help explain.

"Master, don't blame them. They didn't do it on purpose. These people all escaped from other places. They just came to our Lu country not long ago, and they are not familiar with our Lu dialect."

After hearing this, Jae Yu couldn't help but want to slap himself.

He trained soldiers for a long time, and made trouble for a long time, and some soldiers couldn't even understand his orders.

Isn't this nonsense?
He quickly asked, "Where did they come from?"

"Those two are from Qi State, this one is from Ju State, that one seems to be from Huaiyi, and this one..."

The savage introduced it endlessly, leaving Jaeyu stunned.

He didn't even know that the team under his command was actually a multi-national force with a mixed composition!

It is easy to deal with those from Qi State and Ju State. These two countries are neighbors of Lu State, so the difference in language is not big.

But for Huaiyi and other countries, it will be difficult.

Zaiyu thought about it for a long time, and then simply asked: "Among you, how many of you can speak polite words?"

Yayan, also known as Xiayan.

At the beginning, Dayu established the Xia Dynasty in Yangcheng and Anyi, so the dialect of that generation was used as the official language, called Xiayan.

The Xia Dynasty called itself Huaxia, Hua means gorgeous clothes, and Xia means prosperous etiquette.

Prosperous etiquette can be replaced by the word elegant.

Therefore, the words Xia and Ya are interchangeable, and Xiayan has been called Yayan for a long time.

Later, the Xia Dynasty fell, the Shang Dynasty was established, the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, and the Zhou Dynasty was established.

But no matter which dynasty was Xia, Shang and Zhou, their ruling center was still in this area, so the status of Yayan as the official language has never been shaken.

But the languages ​​of all the Xia countries are developed on the basis of elegant dialects, and most of the diplomatic activities of the countries are also conducted in elegant dialects.

The disciples of Confucianism come from all over the world, so when the master usually teaches, he uses elegant words.

To put it bluntly, it is for everyone to understand, so Mandarin is used for teaching.

Zai Yu asked if anyone could speak politely, but after a while, only one person raised his hand not very confidently.

That was the savage who had conveyed the message to Jai Yu for his companion just now.

"You can speak elegant words?"

The savage replied with some lack of confidence: "My father taught me a little "Poetry", so I know a little, but I'm not very fluent."

"You know "Poetry"?" Zaiyu was overjoyed: "How much?"

"A little bit of both 'Da Ya' and 'Xiao Ya'."

Zaiyu was very happy now.

I really don’t know if I don’t ask, I’m startled when I ask.

A blind cat met a dead mouse, and let my son catch an intellectual!

"What's your name?"

The savage replied, "My name is Shi He."

As soon as these words came out, Jai Yu was even more shocked: "Shi He? Do you have a surname?"

Shi He nodded and said, "Ji's surname is Shi."

As soon as Zaiyu heard the surname, he thought for a moment, and immediately asked: "Are you the queen of Huigong?"

"Master is really knowledgeable. My ancestor is Duke Hui."

"But after you became Duke Hui, why did you become a savage?"

When Shi He heard this, he could not help but hang his head in shame and replied: "Our branch was originally a Chinese, but later committed a crime, so..."

"What crime did you commit?"

Shi He felt that it was a bit difficult to tell, so he could only answer vaguely: "My father once followed Qi Zhaobo."

Although the words were very brief, it was enough for Jai Yu to understand why he became a savage.

Qi Zhaobo was the fuse that led Lu Zhaogong to be expelled from the country by Sanhuan.

At the beginning, Qi Zhaobo and Ji Pingzi (Ji Sun Yiru) liked to play cockfights. It stands to reason that cockfights are just cockfights, and it's no big deal.

But the two not only play, but also like to bet against each other, and the bets are fine, and they cheat each other.

Li Zhaobo installed copper hooks on the chicken paws to increase the real damage.

Ji Pingzi put medicinal powder on the chicken wings to inflict blindness.

As a result, both parties found that the other side was playing dirty tricks, so they blamed each other.

But Li Zhaobo was not as strong as the Ji family after all, so he suffered a bit.

After suffering a loss, he joined Zang's family to sue Lu Zhaogong. Zhaogong was worried that he would not find a chance to deal with Ji's family. Qie Zhaobo handed him a pillow, and of course he happily accepted it.

Duke Zhao sent troops to attack the Ji family, but was defeated by San Huan, and he had to go into exile and die in another country.

This is the cause and effect of Zhao Gong's departure, which can also be summed up as a tragedy caused by two chickens.

And Li Zhaobo, the instigator, naturally did not escape Ji's liquidation. It is estimated that Shi He's father was affected and deprived of his status as a Chinese because of this incident.
