Chapter 211: Appeasement
In this battle, the boat people suffered more than 200 casualties, and nearly 600 remained. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The River Tribe has less than thirty people left standing. Wang Chuan is the only one who has no injuries all over his body. Because when he was fighting, he hid in the circle of Zhuangniu, Niu Fan and Yuzhu. Others were hurt somewhat. There are a few who lack treatment and don't seem to live long.
The River Tribe's Boatman's Witch got her aboard the Dragon King on the pretext of letting her see the sails. The old woman made all the boatmen disarm with a song, and the people of the eastern branch who came to support them also surrendered under her persuasion. It can be seen that she has a lot of prestige in the tribe, and holding her hostage is somewhat useful.
The people of the other river tribes also went back to their boats to repair. Wang Chuan's reason was not to disturb the Abi Acceptance Tribe. The actual situation was that more than 20 people were vulnerable in front of 600 people, and Wang Chuan was ready to find anything wrong and retreat at any time.
After closing the battle, it was almost dusk. On this day, the remnant sun was like blood, making the world outside the sailboat blood-red. The unpolluted air in prehistoric times makes this remnant sun seem pure and intoxicating.
Bihu finally fell on the ship, and in two battles in a row, he charged ahead, and his energy consumption was not small. His wound in front of him was only briefly treated, and he lost a lot of blood. When he returned to the ship, he took off his waistcoat and lay down with his head held high.
He looked at the dark red fiery clouds in the sky with a few ribbons of gold edges, and let out a long breath and said, "I finally know what is good about the method you said. Now I really don't know what to do. β
Wang Chuan was reworking on Bihu's wounds, hoping that the fierce man would be able to stand up after resting for a while, if he really fell. Wang Chuan would immediately give the order to sail and leave. This trip was almost in vain.
After knowing the casualties of his own people, the witch of the boat man curled up to the side, and his old face also showed dead ashes.
The casualties of 200 strong people can be said to be painful for the boatmen. In a tribe of nearly 800 people, there are only about 300 adult men. After this war, there were only a little more than 100 adult men left. This is not to mention participating in the hunt to get enough food. Even defending these hungry wolf-like neighbors around the Taijiang River can't do it. The Fishman clan was easily divided after the adult man was destroyed. The Wu of the Boat Man almost felt that destruction was imminent.
Now no matter who is the leader of the Zhouren, the situation they have to face is not optimistic. Even if the River tribe took these people back completely, it would probably be enough to feed these people. If he didn't accept it, how could he use the remaining twenty or so people to control these hundreds of people, and Bihu couldn't think of a way.
The war is over, and a lot of things are just beginning.
Wang Chuan was glad that Bihu had finally begun to think about other issues. This indicates that he is transitioning towards a qualified leader.
Wang Chuan tied Bihu's upper body like a mummy, and then washed his hands and said, "Actually, it's not that difficult." When I was helping you with your wound just now, I sorted out my thoughts. It's a critical juncture for the beast hunt, and the surrounding tribes shouldn't have time to look here. By the time they're done hunting, we'll be pretty much done here. β
Bihu said: "How do you get it?" β
"You take a break and watch me." Wang Chuan shook the water in his hand and stood up, and one by one the orders were arranged.
Transfer the seriously wounded to a carp, which is driven back to the River tribe by the deer starry night. In addition to transporting the wounded, he was also responsible for arraignment.
Wang Chuan needed the tribe to send a total of 100 men and women over, bring all the tools to build the house, and come by land. At the same time, notify the bark and immediately set off for the hunt. This time to bring back at least fifty cattle, he could choose a group of more obedient slaves to accompany him, but the amount of prey must be guaranteed. The remaining slaves of the tribe were organized by Lu to go to the savori passage to hunt mammoths, hunting three to five heads. Let the spirit organize the children and some women to cut a large amount of grass, and after the cut grass is dried, it is piled up into stacks.
After the boat departed, Wang Chuan asked Abi to find him and ask him how he was doing.
Abi had a difficult face and said, "Some old people are more worried. β
Wang Chuan knew what they were worried about, so he skipped the question first and said, "Have all the big and small leaders agreed to choose you as the leader?" What else disagrees? β
Abi said: "Several people from the eastern branch disagree. Several people in the ministry disagreed. "Abi was not cultivated as a leader after all, some things were done more hesitantly, and now that the war has stopped, Wang Chuan can still hear their quarrels on the river.
Wang Chuan said: "Let your people be optimistic about everyone first, don't let them be restless." Tell them that your witches have a way to eat meat for the winter. Call those who disagree, and say that your witch invited them to watch the sails. β
Abi glanced at Wu who was curled up to the side and didn't ask more. It didn't take long for some people to come over. When they walked to the side of the boat, Wang Chuan gave an order, and after only hearing two commands, there was a neat chord sound. And all those who came with Abi fell to the earth except him.
Abi's body tensed with fright, and his breath whirred like a bellows.
Several members of the River tribe jumped out of the boat and threw all the corpses into the river.
Wang Chuan asked Abi to stand closer and said to him: "If there are still those who are not convinced, do the same." That's the first point. Second, starting tonight, everyone in the Boat People tribe will live here. The people of the East and West Divisions, you send people to gather now. Do you have two small tribes under you that you are attached to? Tomorrow you send someone to inform them to move in as well. This makes it easier to manage and defend. These days, you use a tent or a shack for a few days. The River tribe will send someone to set up a camp here in a few days, and as for what this camp is like, Niu Fan will explain it to you. Tell them that the River Tribe has a way to get meat for women in the Beast Hunt. This one of us will go to the campfire for a demonstration. You just keep them safe. Fourth, let all the leaders you appoint, let them come and swear allegiance to the River Tribe, to your witch, and we will record his oath. Don't worry, we won't kill your people......"
It is more difficult to get Abi to carry out these things of Wang Chuan. He was still a little naΓ―ve, so Wang Chuan sent a few warriors from the River tribe with more flexible brains to accompany him to carry out these tasks.
In order to alleviate the pain caused by the war, the meat stored by the people of the headquarters was first transported out in large quantities, so that everyone could eat it openly tonight. Prehistoric humans didn't have that much grief, and when they were all over, they didn't think about other messy things.
After everyone received the meat, the atmosphere in the boat people was really much more relaxed. Wang Chuan sent a few people to demonstrate the use of various traps to them on the bonfire. Whether they understand it or not, these people have become more or less yearning for a life of two or three meals a day, and the atmosphere in front of the campfire has become more relaxed.
Compared to the ease before the campfire, the leader in front of Wang Chuan's ship became less relaxed. Because Wang Chuan is painting portraits of them.
In later generations, the saying that the dead would be photographed has been passed down for many years. Wang Chuan took advantage of this psychology and drew their avatars in stick figures after they took the oath of allegiance, telling them that this was their soul. As soon as they break their oath, these images will be destroyed and they will die.
Wang Chuan didn't know how effective this trick was. But the leaders looked at their own appearance vividly on the hides, and they all became extremely solemn.
