Break the yak formation. Subdue the Wild Bull Tribe. The strength of Yuncheng's group training has grown again. Returning with a big victory. Fifteen hundred head of cattle were obtained. That's a lot of money. The distribution of loot needs to be arranged uniformly. But at such a distance. Liu Tang could only make temporary arrangements first. 1,200 head of cattle were allocated to the land. That is, the farm. The first sixteen farms were in dire need of cattle.

Liu Tang invited Wang Lun here. Wang Lun said: "Camp Commander Liu." Call me over for something. ”

"It wasn't a fight the day before yesterday. From the north comes a tribe with a wolf's head mask. You want to steal our stuff. I led my troops over and fought. Won. They took captive three thousand five hundred head of cattle. It turned out that it was not the Black Wolf Tribe. They are a tribe of wild bulls. The small tribe consisted of only about 500 people. Willing to take refuge in us. Update as soon as possible," Liu Tang said.

Wang Lun said: "This place is so huge. That's just a little bit of people. It's a good thing that you're willing to take refuge in us. ”

"Yes. It's a good thing. Liu Tang nodded. I promised to set aside a place for them. Let's not talk about that. They had 3,500 head of cattle and I asked me to detain 1,500 head. It's a punishment. If you want to attack casually, we can't spare it. I intend to leave three hundred military heads. You have 1,200 of the remaining head to be used on the farm. How is it. “

Wang Lun was overjoyed. "That's great," he sighed. The farm is short of cattle. I bought some of it in the last four times. But the commerce of Black Dragon Island is too underdeveloped. It's hard to find sellers. It took half a month to buy about 400 heads. Far from enough. In this way, the big problem is solved. ”

After the joy. Wang Lun said: "In this way. There are only 2,000 cattle left in the Wild Cattle Tribe. It won't affect your life. ”

"There will definitely be an impact. Not enough, we set aside a large ranch for him. You're arranging for them to reclaim 2,000 acres of land. Let them plant some corn. In addition, I will allocate some sorghum and wheat or something. Let them smoothly aisle the fall. Liu Tang said.

Wang Lun said: "It's easy to say." Say. I'll arrange it. ”

The Manniu tribe was arranged a few dozen miles south of Whitefish Harbor. There are mountains and rivers there. The water flow is abundant. The soil is fertile. The grass grows very well. Of course, there are also dissatisfactions. That is, the area is too small.

Liu Tang personally led people to draw the boundaries for him. The first time to update the north and south width of five miles. It is seven miles long from east to west. "Our pasture is five or six times bigger than this." If the cattle grow to tens of thousands, they will definitely not be able to survive. ”

Liu Tang said: "This place belongs to your Barbarian Cattle tribe. If there are more cattle, they can graze on uninhabited pastures in the south. But you have to understand. Once there's an arrangement, you can't go. As for your argument that you can't raise too many cows, don't worry. The yield of Tianwang rice is extremely high. Even if your kind of land is horizontal, one mu can produce four or five hundred catties. The 2,000 acres of land developed for you are enough for 2,000 head of cattle. ”

"Cows also eat grain. First time I heard about it. The brute sighed. But the brute cow is also a person who knows what is good and bad. More and faster chapters are here. Liu Tang led people to help him build a cowshed with blue brick houses. Outside, a wooden fence was built to prevent wolves. This already satisfied him.

The hearts of the tribes fluctuate. Finally settled down. It didn't take a few days. More than 2,000 people came. At first, the brute cow was still alive and was shocked. These people are holding farm tools. And spears. I thought there was still a war.

The leader said. Good thing there is a translator. It is said that this is the person who sent things and cultivated the land. Fifty carts of grain. Mainly sorghum and wheat. There is also a small amount of rice. Wang Lun is really human. At this point, there is no disadvantage to the Brute Bull tribe.

The brute bull thought that he would take it and forget it. As a result, the people did not agree. Demand to be distributed in everyone's hands. One hundred pounds per person. The people rejoiced. The wild cow has a faint sense of loss. More and faster chapters are here.

Of course. As a tribal chieftain, Manniusheng gave some extra rice. There are many people who can work. The people of the Barbarian Bull tribe have seen what it means to open up wasteland. More than 2,000 people working together was quite a big scene. Pickaxe head flying. Turned over the land. Then put on dozens of ploughs. Turned the ground over. Aqueducts were built. A watermill was erected on the riverside.

The people of the Wild Bull tribe look strange. I've never seen anything like this when I'm so big. Able to carry water for watering the ground. Good grass. Don't let him grow grass. I just want to plant grass. I really can't get it.

It's only ten days. Even the sowing was done. After sowing, Wang Lun came on purpose. Let the brute cow sheng gather the elders of the tribe.

Wang Lun said: "Cattle herding is the foundation of your tribe. Be the first to update You guys eat beef. That's not going to change. What needs to change is the way you feed your cattle. Cattle are herbivores though. But it's not that you don't want food. The results will be known this fall. ”

"Is this king rice really delicious? Would you like it. An elder asked.

Wang Lun immediately asked people to take a bag of crushed Tianwang rice meal. Come to the cowshed. Throw the king of rice to the ground. The cow walks over and licks it. A few cows also fought.

"It's not just cows that love to eat. People can also eat it. It's not as good as white rice. But better than sorghum. Wang Lun arranged for someone to cook Tianwang rice porridge again. Let everyone taste it. The elders still feel good. Good entrance.

"I have paired king rice and soybeans to raise cattle. More and faster chapters are here. Weaned calves grow to the weight of adult cattle after one year of rearing. Wang Lun said. Everyone sighed. It takes at least three years for a grazing cow to grow to its full strength. I didn't expect this grain to be so useful.

Although everyone still doesn't believe it. But I can't figure out what reason there is to lie to them. It was originally a defeated tribe. According to the law of the steppe, they have to be obedient.

"Okay. Lord Wang was relieved. We're definitely going to take care of the cattle. "The brute cow is not worried. In any case, large swaths of land to the south are still ownerless. Feel free to herd your own herds.

The arrival of the Wild Cattle tribe did not only bring enough cattle to the farm. It also brought news from the north. When it was okay, Liu Tang specially called Manniusheng over to inquire about the situation in the north.

Liu Tang was still very surprised when he heard it. The huge northern plain actually has a city established by the Liao State. It's called Black Dragon City. There are also two small satellite towns. The person in charge is called Xiao Tianfeng. It can also be regarded as a nobleman of the Liao State. It's just that after cutting off contact with Liao, Xiao Tianfeng had the intention of becoming independent. Controls nearly 100,000 people in the north. The black wolf has been in turmoil, and it is also a big problem for the city lord Xiao Tianfeng.

For Xiao Tianfeng, how many troops there are, and the chiefs of the pocket tribes like Manniusheng really don't know. Specifically, we need to explore in detail. Liu Tang asked, "Chief Barbarian." How many troops does that black wolf bandit have? ”

Manniusheng shook his head: "This strength is different from your Great Song Dynasty. You have professional soldiers in the Great Song. The soldiers and the people were separated. But the Black Wolf Tribe is not. It's always been a wild tribe. After constant annexation. Their tribe was very large, at least 6,000 people. A tribe of this size. There are still cavalry of nearly three thousand people. Mainly there are many horses in the north. Their tribe grew up on pony back. ”

"Oh. What weapons did they use. How about combat effectiveness. Liu Tang asked again.

"They come and go like the wind. Sometimes scattered. From time to time, it gathers. Sometimes attacks were launched in the early hours of the morning. They use maces. Individual combat effectiveness is very strong. "The brute cow said that his heart palpitated.

It turns out that the wolf head mask of the Barbarian Bull Clan is modeled after the Black Wolf Tribe. As for the intention, he wanted to use the prestige of the Black Wolf Tribe to scare others. Their maces are also rarely made of iron. Most of them are reindeer skulls or weapons made of hardwood. This weapon weighs enough to be used on a galloping horse, and can easily shatter the skulls of opponents.

It seems that the situation in the north is still very complicated. It's a mess. War could start at any time. Liu Tang secretly pondered Chao Gai's explanation when he came. Stabilize the foundation first. Once you have basic military facilities, you can think about attacking the enemy. Liu Tang is not the kind of general who is particularly smart. But for Chao Gai's words, he is absolutely obedient. In the next few days, Liu Tang arranged the training of recruits to Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye. Personally lead the construction soldiers to build the outpost. Fifteen outposts were initially built along the first line of Dogbear Ridge and Tunu River. Each outpost is equipped with two artillery pieces. Thirty infantrymen. At the same time, it served as a rest post for patrol cavalry.

A total of 450 infantry were sent. Ninety cavalry. It can basically meet the needs of patrols. Because this line is all plains. On the endless plains, it is difficult for a cavalry to slip through the net under the watchful eye of the outpost.

In addition to infantry and cavalry patrols. Liu Tang consulted with a few tribes that raised reindeer. More than 200 families and thousands of herders have been relocated. Tents were set up near the outpost. Carry out grazing. Herders are scattered in their grazing. Usually five or six families set up tents together. Every day, he drove the cattle around to graze. So the field of view is wide. They are also patrolling with soldiers while grazing their cattle. Now these herdsmen and Jeju Tuanlian practice share weal and woe. It's still very cooperative. And even more so if anyone finds a suspicious enemy. There is a reward for reporting to the outpost.

The completion of the outpost has significantly strengthened security in the north. Liu Tang is still very confident in his army. If you fight positional warfare. Two hundred guns outnumbered three thousand cavalry.

After the outpost is repaired, the road should be repaired. The original tribes here almost never used horse-drawn carriages. So it seemed to them that there were roads everywhere. Naturally, there is no need to build roads. But the reclamation camp is different. They rely heavily on baggage. In particular, artillery is simply inseparable from the support of baggage. So the road is a must. The strong men are busy cultivating the wasteland, farming, and the tribes are also busy receiving lambs. Therefore, the matter of building roads can only be done by the infantry themselves. In addition to training, artillery, sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, and archers. One by one, they picked up the tools. Start building roads. Before they became soldiers, these people were all from the bank. This bit of work is still difficult for everyone. The road repair is also simple. Two carriages in parallel. The roadbed is slightly above ground level. Dig drainage ditches on both sides. Then plant the upward street trees on both sides and it will come alive. There are many people though. There are also many carriages and horses. But after all, there are no big machines. It won't be too fast. Take your time.
