Han Khan

Chapter 179: More Men Than Women

Seeing this scene, Zhang Sheng couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.

Because he knew that if he reorganized these people, he could manage them more effectively.

Moreover, if these people convert to the holy religion and have common beliefs, they will truly become loyal believers of the Lord Haotian and Jin Han people.

Then, Zhang Sheng shouted loudly: "Everyone, please follow my voice and pray to the great Haotian together!

Now, I will hold a solemn oath-taking and baptism ceremony for you, so that you can become devout believers of Haotian God and true Jinhan people! "

Then, Zhang Sheng turned around and faced the holy flag flying high in the cold wind.

He looked solemn and stared at the flag intently, then he bowed his head respectfully with his hands clasped.

At the same time, he muttered something and solemnly declared:
"I solemnly swear here that the great Majesty Haotian is the only true God in the world! I am willing to defend this truth with my life!

I bear witness that the honorable Son of Heaven is the messenger of the Lord of Heaven on earth!
I will always be loyal to him and obey his will!
I sincerely convert to the holy religion and worship the only god - His Majesty Haotian!
I would like to devote my body and soul to him and fight for his glory...

I promise to abide by the teachings of the Holy Church, uphold justice and kindness, and maintain peace and order!
I will treat others with love and tolerance and do my best to help those in need!
I believe that His Majesty Haotian will grant us strength and wisdom and lead us to a bright future! His holy virtue will always shine! Haotian is great... Haotian is great! …”

Every time Zhang Sheng recited a sentence, the soldiers around him repeated his words in unison, passing this sacred oath to the newly joined Jin Han people.

These new Jin Han people, full of awe, devoutly followed the rhythm of Zhang Sheng and the Jin Han soldiers, praying and kneeling meticulously!

There was no other sound in the entire camp. At this moment, all that could be heard was the sound of people praying.

Their passion burned like a flame, as if to set the whole world on fire.

At this moment, the power of faith spread in everyone's heart, and they felt an unprecedented sense of belonging and mission.

After standing up, kneeling and praying several times, the voices of these people became louder and louder, spreading to the entire area around the temple camp. At this moment, all the Jinhan people could hear their voices.

Just like the herd effect, many of the believers who had converted earlier, upon hearing the voice of prayer, immediately faced the holy flag and knelt down to pray and worship.

When they heard that new people had converted to the Holy Religion, those who had converted earlier suddenly felt that they had more foresight than them and that they were old believers in the Holy Religion!

It's as if I'm differentiating myself from them and feeling that I'm superior to them!
After the oath-taking ceremony, everyone looked at Zhang Sheng enthusiastically. The crowd was so dense that it seemed to extend to Jinshan. With so many people, it seemed to have driven away the cold winter. At this moment, Zhang Sheng didn't even feel cold.

"From today on, you will no longer be slaves. You are all glorious Jinhan people, devout believers of Haotian God, and subjects of the Son of Heaven.

Now, take your children and women, and each household must stay together. My soldiers will organize you into groups of tens, hundreds, and thousands.

After the reorganization is completed, these warriors who believe in the God of Heaven like you will allocate your own felt tents and livestock to you.

From now on, you will camp, live, and graze in the same place with people of a thousand or a hundred households.

A woman without a husband stands alone; a man without a wife stands alone.

Today I will arrange a marriage for you. Under the holy flag and in the gaze of the Supreme True God, I will act as your matchmaker, allow you to become husband and wife, and then allocate livestock and tents to you.

Children without parents or elders to raise them, stand aside. I will raise you myself, provide you with food and a place to live.

Now, take action, but remember that you are doing this under the watchful eyes of the gods.

If anyone dares to take advantage of this opportunity to commit any illegal acts, I will give the most severe punishment in the name of Haotian."

The soldiers stationed to guard the crowd conveyed this news to these new Jinhan people.

Upon hearing this news, everyone was extremely excited, and the cheers were like waves. "Long live the Khan! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Heaven!" The shouts were deafening.

Especially the young people who have not yet started a family, their voices are the loudest.

They were once slaves, but now they had received the emperor's personal promise that they would not only be free, but would also have their own women and fifty heads of livestock.

For them, such a gift was something they could never have imagined in their dreams.

Those herders who had already formed families were quickly reorganized into groups of ten households under the close vigilance and orderly command of the soldiers.

Next, every ten tens of households formed a hundred households, and every ten hundred households formed a thousand households.

There is a certain distance between each thousand households and they are no longer as closely connected as in the past.

Tatars, Shiwei people, Kuchuwuti people, Ubili people, Dubo people, Tumati people...

These originally independent tribal members were now broken up and reorganized into different tens and hundreds of households.

Among the entire thousand households, there are hardly any people from the same tribe.

This new organization method aims to break down old tribal boundaries and promote integration among all the Jinhan people from different origins.

The atmosphere in the crowd began to become tense, and people showed panic expressions on their faces. However, under the "advisory" of those soldiers, they gradually calmed down and began to comfort themselves.

About two hours later, these former slaves of Xinjinhan were finally reorganized and entered the new organizational system together with their parents, children and wives.

Each thousand households was like a group composed of many people. Zhang Sheng observed that there were about twenty such groups of people, which meant that more than twenty thousand households had been reorganized and had more than 100,000 followers.

On the right side of these more than twenty thousand households were two rows of lonely and helpless men and women. The women and men stood together, and the number of people was quite considerable.

In front of them, the boys and girls, who were also divided by gender, were lined up in an orderly manner and there were a large number of them.

At this time, Zhang Zhongxian ran to the platform with a stained booklet in his hands, panting heavily and reporting to Zhang Sheng:

"Your Majesty, I have sorted out all the tribesmen with families and organized them into 21 thousand households. The number of family members in these tribesmen varies. Some families have six people, some have five, and some have only four... After our average calculation, each household has about five people. In this way, there are more than people in total!

In addition, there are more than 12,300 single men and more than 10,400 single women. There are more than 1,100 boys and more than 600 girls. From the overall situation, we have more men than women in Jinhan now, not enough marriage partners!
Finally, the more than 853 Tang people have been counted. Among them, there are 11653 families with more than 5662 people! There are 1257 unmarried young men, women, and boys and girls. The total population is about people! "
