Chapter 199: Coming to Taijiang
The people of the River Tribe rowed to reach the Guyu tribe by boat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Almost all the people who came first saw it. Thinking that they had rowed for more than ten days in a row, everyone laughed.
In fact, the people of the River Tribe only set out on August 13. Although there was no snow in August during the Ice Age, the weather became noticeably cooler in August, and the east wind stopped and the northwest wind blew. Wang Chuan briefly calculated the wind speed and itinerary, and found that it was too late, so he also made a sailing ceremony on the morning of August 13.
Drums, fires, and animal heads sacrifice to the sky. 2 After the bark consulted Wang Chuan, he made a half-written proclamation, which was read in a long tone. At that time, the northern geese flew south, and the osprey was frightened away. The people who went out on the expedition, everyone wore crocodile vests, inlaid with black goggles on their chests, raised shields and spears during the sacrifice to the sky, and there were also some heroic expeditions on the small dock.
This time a Dragon King, three newly built eight-meter new ships, and two small sailing boats with airbags were dispatched. The newly built eight-meter new ship was named the carp boat, and the name of the ship was added to the number of one, two, three, four and five. This expedition is Carp 1 to 3.
The Dragon King was loaded with thirty people, and twenty-two people were on board. The Carp was loaded with eighteen men, twelve on each ship, for a total of fifty-eight men.
Those who did not win the quota for the expedition stood on the pier, looking at the big ship and birds, and many envied. The bark was still left, so the proclamation was read more long and sadly.
At the end of the sacrifice, Wang Chuan gave an order, the boats rocked, traveled slowly, and when they reached the river, they hung up their sails, and then raced downstream.
The carp's ships were slender and faster than the Dragon King, not much slower than small sailboats with airbags. In order to overcome the problem of its ships being too low, Lambra returned and added a half-meter-high guardrail to the sides of these ships. This makes the boat light and safe.
The boat was smooth sailing, faster than "the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed over the ten thousand mountains." In less than two hours, they passed the stronghold of the wolf's den and the original site of the Wairen clan, and by the afternoon, they were even closer to the territory where the people lived.
The rivers in front of us are all areas that everyone is not very familiar with, and Wang Chuan asked Liyu No. 1 to explore the way first. The other three boats followed, one by one.
The prehistoric world is colorful and beautiful, on this inaccessible river, the water is green and blue, the riverside is full of vegetation, there are more water birds and ospreys flying, big fish are out of the water, crocodiles lurk like driftwood, and giant beasts roam by the river...... Wang Chuan felt that if there was a camera on the bow of the boat, he would record these and put them on the Internet in later generations, maybe he could click on it and be on the hot search in a day.
Never before had a warrior stood on the side of a boat and screamed, frightened by the birds in the aquatic plants, the fish scattered in the water, the crocodiles lurked, and the huge apes by the river wowed their chests......
Wang Chuan laughed on the Dragon King, thinking that if he didn't worry about survival, his life in prehistory was really good, and he couldn't enjoy this environment for any amount of money in later generations. If the conditions are suitable, he hopes that one day he can take the baby elephant and the three or five retinues to the north and south of the river, if nothing else, just to see the diversity of this world.
Of course, everyone looks at things from a different perspective. When Bihu saw such an environment, he thought: "All the way here, there is almost flat land on both sides, if it can be developed into the farmland you said, how many people can be supported?" Do you still want to hunt? ”
Wang Chuan said: "Land is everywhere. ”
"It's the people who can manage it. I know. "Bihu has been nurtured by Wang Chuan for more than half a year, and he can be regarded as accepting Wang Chuan's expansion theory.
Wang Chuan said with a smile: "Otherwise, a bunch of rabble will get together and nothing can be done except bad things." ”
"But now there are a lot of people. What if the tribe can't live there? "Than the tiger road.
Ten days ago, Seang brought the Jing tribesmen. Not much, only about thirty people. It's a small tribe that's very similar to the River tribe before, the kind that can't even make a fire. Their leader was a woman about the same age as her mother, and her name was Jing. She is actually an old acquaintance of her mother, and the two met in the Vulcan tribe in their early years. I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and everyone thinks that the other party is dead. The two old ladies hugged each other and cried, which made Wang Chuan feel sad when he saw it.
After these people arrived, Bihu only let them repair for one day, and then selected a few strong men from among them to join the training of this expedition. Now there are quite a few of them in this team, which makes the tribesmen envious.
There are more than 30 people in the Jiajing tribe, and the population of the river tribe is now close to 45, and if the slaves are all tamed, they can almost fill the newly built houses in the village. The rate of population growth is many times faster than what Wang Chuan said before, and Bihu is also very satisfied with this speed. What he wanted to ask was, at this time, is it necessary to expand the village and make it look like a town?
After all, for Bihu, if he builds a town, he can become the mayor of the town. This is what Wang Chuan said. At this rate, the Thousand People Tribe or something, he already felt that there was no difficulty.
This speed was also unexpected by Wang Chuan. When he drew up the blueprint for Bihu, he didn't expect to get the iron weapon so quickly, otherwise he wouldn't have said that he would develop the tribe into a tribe of 1,000 people in ten years.
However, Wang Chuan wanted to build a town after the tribe surrounded many villages, so he said: "The village will no longer expand, no matter how large the population is, let's build a village one kilometer away to the west." In the later period, when the population increased, another stockade was built across the river or to the east. It's called a three-legged stand. Convenient for defense. ”
This is obviously something new, and Bihu is interested: "What a convenient method?" ”
After the first novelty of sailing, the formation of the back became boring, so Wang Chuan gathered several leaders who accompanied the ship and talked about some principles of attack and defense. It is risky to sail at night, and Wang Chuan usually asks everyone to stop the boat and rest at night.
Two days later, the boat entered the Taijiang River, and everyone became excited again. At this time, the Taijiang River was wider than the river in later generations, two or three kilometers long.
On the surface of the water, I saw the flowing water rolling, the waves surging, the sun shining on the water, and the glittering phosphorescence was boundless. Several boats sailed on the surface of the Taijiang River, like fallen leaves in the water. The white dolphin, which has long been extinct in later generations, jumps out of the water from time to time, and under the side of the boat, the shadow of a fish larger than a baby elephant swims freely.
Except for the people who have seen the Taijiang River such as the Yuren clan, the others are all shocked and shocked when they see this magnificent water surface.
Wang Chuan also felt quite excited. Seeing these in the river, he once again felt that he was back in the living prehistory. This dolphin and this fish, later generations can only see from the pictures on the Internet, in this era, they are still living in the river. In later generations, when thousands of pounds of saury were fried, Wang Chuan planned to catch seventeen or eighteen catties later to eat a good meal.
Someone looked at the huge fish shadow chasing the boat under the boat, and joked to the fishtail: "Why don't you go down and tie one up?" ”
Fishtail retreated: "It's no problem to tie up, after tying, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with our boat." ”
"Then you'll chase after you on a fish."
"Hahaha......" The boat burst into laughter.
The hull of the ship undulated so badly that some people even got dizzy.
Wang Chuan hurriedly greeted: "Don't look underwater if you are dizzy." In preparation for the row, we crossed the water and turned west. ”
Wang Chuan deliberately kept the secret of the sailboat, and was ready to scare them again in the competition. So I don't want to be exposed to everyone so quickly. Now these tribes along the Taijiang River are preparing to hunt beasts, and they rarely come out to fish, and the chance of encountering people is not great. If you go to the south bank of the Yangtze River, two or three kilometers away from the water, you can't see anything clearly.
After walking slowly on the Taijiang River for three days, when he approached the river near the Guyu tribe, Wang Chuan parked the Dragon King in the bay on the south bank of the river. Wang Chuan asked the deer rider to stay on the Dragon King with twenty. The others lowered the sails of the Carp, pulled the two small sailboats, which also had no sails, and rowed to the Guyu tribe.
