Chapter 196: Shipbuilding and Preparing for War

Wang Chuan lamented in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn a short period of time, it is unlikely that the tribesmen will be able to break their hands-on habits.

Wang Chuan is not a very courageous person, in his previous life, he fought in a small county, and he did almost everything, and he didn't mix up any person. Now that he has crossed, God has no intention of modifying his character. He is still lacking in atmosphere, flexibility, and composure...... To put it simply, everything is average. In prehistory, all he could do was to grope and use his superior knowledge to lead the people around him forward.

There are a lot of things that he still has to learn from today's people. It's just that he knows what works and what doesn't.

He has a general idea of the development of the tribe, but how to build the current village-like primitive tribe into the scale of a town, how to build a city, or how to build a country...... Where has history written these things for people to refer to? So, touch it and go. Do things in the way you are used to. At least that's the safe thing.

He didn't have any way to eat the six tribes on the edge of the Taijiang River in one bite. Therefore, I can only spend time with them first and develop slowly on my own. The various alliances and divisions in the early stage were for this purpose. But when the other party came to the door, he naturally couldn't show weakness anymore.

Wang Chuan doesn't know if there are any undercover agents among the people who have joined now. Blind investigation is also easy to cause internal instability. So I simply put the competition on the edge of the Taijiang River.

In this way, the plan to disrupt the other party can be completed, and they will have nowhere to go. Second, it can also let people in the tribe who have never seen the world see what the rivers and lakes are. Third, you can show them the power of the big ship, and tell them not to act rashly.

As for how to fight and where to go, Wang Chuan said that this is the third step of the matter, everyone is ready to fight first, and the ship is ready. Because preparing for combat is the second step of work.

No matter how you fight, knowing that you are going to the edge of the Taijiang River, these leaders of the tribe have already begun to scream. I have heard countless times from the bark and the mouths of those slaves how magnificent the Taijiang River is, and how beautiful the fish and shrimp are. I have long heard Elder Chuan say how to sail in the Taijiang River and how to go straight to the sea. This time I finally have the opportunity to go out on a big boat, how majestic is that?

To go to the Taijiang River, the boat is the most important. Although the Dragon King is known as a big ship, the conclusion of the later tests is that it can carry 40 people temporarily, and if it takes a long time, it can only seat 30 people. Otherwise, there would be no place to turn around.

The small sailboat can be launched after being oiled. But this thing is really not suitable for long-term rides. The main thing is that the position above is too small. Even the place to sit is a problem.

If you rely only on these ships, you can't pull the people who are going to fight, let alone others. So if you want to go to Taijiang, you have to rush to make a new ship.

The Dragon King is too troublesome to make. The rest of the time is enough to build one. Small sailboats are not used. Wang Chuan's mind turned, and he was ready to concentrate on building a few sailing ships that were a little smaller than the Dragon King.

Wood was the least valuable in this era. Among the wood cut down from the wasteland, there are no longer a few with a diameter of one meter or more. Wang Chuan picked out the wood, and was still ready to use the method of marking lines and hollowing out the boat to make a boat.

However, the boat made now is not made of one wood, but three pieces of wood, digging out the two sides of the boat and the keel part respectively, and then nailing the three parts together with iron nails, and finally nailing the wood horizontally to reinforce, and plugging the leakage with fish glue mixed with sawdust.

Such a ship can't be too wide, Wang Chuan's design specification is eight meters long, more than two meters wide, but the side of the ship is a little short. However, when it is used in inland rivers, it should not be too much of a problem if there is not much wind and waves. After the construction of such a boat, it should be able to carry ten to fifteen people. Under Wang Chuan's supervision, three such ships were built at the same time. When Lambla comes back, two more can be built.

In addition to the ship, the preparation of weapons and the training of fighters are also the top priorities in preparing for war.

The hunting party has not returned. Bihu led people to prepare various weapons. Heart goggles are a good thing, and Bihu requires at least one per person to fight. It's hard to kill the old cripples in the blackhouse. After this request, the clanging sound in the iron room hardly stopped from morning to night.

According to Wang Chuan's meaning, even if there is a heart guard, each knife and axe hand should have a small round shield. This thing has shown a good effect in the battle against the Fishy Ministry. It's just that the small round shield at that time was a little heavy. It's time to make reasonable changes to make it lighter and easier to lift.

If it is water for water combat, a bow and crossbow are still the best. The bow and crossbow made in the first half of the year have been eroded a lot by moisture because they are not protected by something like tung oil, and now they have to replace the ones with poor efficacy and elasticity. And after adding so many newcomers, the number has not kept up. Now we have to work harder. Make up all the numbers.

The hunting party had not yet returned, and Bihu selected ten of the able-bodied ones from the slaves to begin training. Prepare for these people to go to war as well.

Lack of manpower is still a problem for the tribe. They had agreed that the competition would be held on the banks of the Taijiang River on August 18. The bazaar will continue as usual. However, it was left to Ladome to be responsible. Pottery and wheelbarrows are not sold in the bazaar, but are moved to the edge of the Taijiang River. When the time comes, there will be people left to take care of the bazaars and tribes, and there will not be many people who can be sent out. Pulling the slaves out was a desperate move.

It was also at this time that Ranbula drove the boat and returned to the tribe with the people of the Pig tribe.

There are about 50 people in the tribe, and many of them are young and strong. The Dragon King couldn't sit down, so they came with a raft tied to the Dragon King.

It was almost a relief in disguise, and the people of the tribe gave them a warm welcome. After some condolences and reassurance, they were almost allowed to move into a new house as full members.

The new house built before, Wang Chuan built it on the scale of 500 people. Now there are fewer than 300 official members of the tribe. There are still a lot of vacancies.

After being brought back to the tribe, Seonon lived with slaves and had to be tested by the tribe before he could join the tribe. Now that he saw that the pig had received such treatment as soon as he came, he deliberately took leave with the bark and came to Wang Chuan and said, "Elder Chuan, is it possible to eat three meals a day with more people brought back?" ”

Wang Chuan had a good impression of this thin man, nodded and said: "It can almost be understood in this way, but it is still necessary to work and learn the rules." What are your thoughts? ”

"Knowing this, I brought all the people of our tribe with me," said Seang. Our tribe always can't get enough to eat, so our Jing Cai let us go out and find a way to survive on our own. If you're willing to take them in, I'll go back and bring them all. ”

"How many people are in your tribe?"

"Well, less than them."

"Okay, then you can go. It's better to come back soon. Otherwise, Angang would have blocked that passage. ”

This is really a send-off in the snow, as for who sends it to whom. It doesn't matter. (To be continued.) )
