"That would be for the best I think, I do have experence in leading armies, 
but Im sure you have much more in bringing order to barbarians." Shaw 
says with a smile.
Then said quietly to Cixi,
"Remember though, the barbarians here do outnumber us by quite alot, and are 
much more experenced at this type of warfare than either of us. I would 
suggest not trying to bring them to much order at once."
