Chapter 56: The Wolves of the North
"My name is Long Qiupeng, and I am the leader of this place, and I am also the leader of the Qiutu tribe, and I am the one who discovered your nearby village. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It was my people who saved your life, so what are you doing all this all this for? Long Qiupeng knew very well that he was thinking about other people's horses, not other people's lives, so now he is not as hostile as the atmosphere is relatively hostile. What's more, in the confrontation just now, Long Qiupeng has already won a comprehensive victory, so there is no need to show his superiority in words, he doesn't want this barbarian to bottom out because of his emotions.
Speaking of this, the attitude of the barbarians also softened, after all, this matter was indeed Long Qiupeng's kindness first, but at that time, the text was just created by Long Qiupeng, not to mention the moral concept of courtesy, righteousness and shame, so these barbarians are more dependent on a primitive wild nature similar to animals, and one of them is probably to be cautious and not to trust others.
"I'm a wolftooth......" Although his attitude was still very confrontational, in the end he still reported his name first to show his feedback to Long Qiupeng, but soon he asked Long Qiupeng an embarrassing question, "What about my companion?" ”
Although Long Qiupeng knew that this question could not be avoided, he still hoped to find a suitable time to talk to Wolf Tooth about this question, but he didn't expect Wolf Tooth to ask the first question directly, which made Long Qiupeng feel a little passive.
He looked at the wolf's fangs and felt that there was no way to deceive him, so he had to honestly confess: "Dead, before we found them, but the bodies were pulled back by us." ”
When he heard the word death, Wolf Fang's emotions were obviously hostile, he didn't feel that Long Qiupeng was deceiving him, but the unfamiliar environment made him instinctively feel that his companion was dead, so he couldn't believe everything the other party said.
The atmosphere that had finally relaxed a little bit was tense again.
The two sides were silent for a long time, and the wolf fang was the first to say, "Let me go!" ”
Hearing this, Long Qiupeng suddenly smiled at the wolf tooth and said, "No! ”
Wolf Fang didn't seem to expect Long Qiupeng to answer like this, let alone the other party's attitude, so he looked at Long Qiupeng with an angry expression full of confusion.
Long Qiupeng still smiled, and said lightly: "You want to rob my Qiutu Village of food first, and hurt my people later, and now you still want to pat your ass and leave, it's impossible." ”
"And what do you want?" The wolf's fangs and beastly agility smelled the flavor of Long Qiupeng's words.
"I want a horse!" Three words, simple and clear, sonorous and powerful. Long Qiupeng put away his smile and said to Wolf Fang in the same irresistible tone as before.
Wolf Fang originally wanted to tell him that it was impossible, but he was stared at by Long Qiupeng like this and didn't open his mouth, and the feeling of depression that he had stepped on just now hit him again.
Seeing the attitude of the wolf fang, he would not agree to help until this matter, and at the same time he had no right to call the shots, so he did not continue to speak, he stood up, and said to the bear in front of the wolf fang: "You bring more archers to the hill tribe, strengthen the defense over there, and if you see a barbarian on horseback, let them come here to me." ”
Speaking of this, Long Qiupeng glanced at the wolf fang, and then that inexplicable smile appeared on his face again, and then said: "If they do anything unfavorable to you, no one will be left, I just need a horse!" ”
After Long Qiupeng finished speaking, he left, leaving behind the annoyed and frightened wolf teeth.
"Chief, what an imposing momentum!" As soon as the deer came out of there, he whispered to Long Qiupeng, "That one called Wolf Tooth is stupid." ”
Long Qiupeng stretched out his hand and rubbed his hair and said: "Since it is a wolf clan, its natural living habits will also be affected by wolves, so if you want to tame the wolf clan, the easiest way is to kill the head wolf and replace it, and when the time comes, people like wolf teeth will naturally succumb." ”
"The leader of the barbarian tribe prefers dueling, but fighting on horses ......" Yi was a little worried that the plan to hunt the head wolf was not as easy as he imagined, so he carefully reminded Long Qiupeng.
Long Qiupeng nodded when he heard this, this time Yi got to the point, he really lacked experience in fighting on horseback, but in the matter of fighting on horseback, the other party was obviously not much stronger than himself, because except for the reins, the other party did not have any auxiliary harness. Thinking of this, he clapped his hands and said, "Yes! I'm going to have to go find the Great Lake and get me a stirrup! ”
Yi was still a little unaccustomed to the strange words that suddenly popped up like Long Qiupeng, but in comparison, Lu was more excited, and turned around and followed Long Qiupeng to Long's University.
When he got there, Dahu was still in class, and although he had heard about the wolf's teeth, he still stuck to the class, not because he was too dedicated or irresponsible. It's because as a technical controller, he really can't afford to worry about the things that are fighting in the tribe, and until now, the things when Tao Bu attacked Xishan Village still often gave him nightmares.
But seeing Long Qiupeng coming to him was different, even if he didn't want to stop, the clansmen would run out to watch Long Qiupeng. So he also stopped with interest and asked Long Qiupeng what was the matter.
Long Qiupeng told Dahu about his intentions, but Dahu hadn't seen a horse yet, let alone make stirrups, so when Long Qiupeng finished speaking, Dahu not only didn't understand what he was going to do, but was even more at a loss.
At this time, Long Qiupeng took Dahu to their livestock shed, and introduced the creature of horses to Dahu, Dahu looked at it, and it was really very different from cows, and with the sensitivity of his craftsmen, he quickly understood that the size of this animal was more suitable for people to ride than oxen.
The manufacturing process of many ancient inventions is not very complicated, and the reason why it has not appeared on the stage of history for a long time is only because no one can think of this idea in the long-term development process.
This is the most valuable reason for good ideas in modern society, now Long Qiupeng has a formed product in his heart, anyway, he doesn't need to pay patent fees to future inventors, he just needs to explain to Dahu the working principle and basic structure of the harness represented by the stirrup, with Dahu's skills, help him make a complete set of simple harnesses.
Sure enough, after explaining to Dahu, Dahu said that the craftsmanship of this thing is not very difficult, but the problem now is that Long Qiupeng's three horses are quite different in size, so it is up to Long Qiupeng to decide which horse to do first.
At first, Long Qiupeng planned to use the tall horse with Mongolian blood, which must be very fast no matter how you look at it, but after repeated hesitation, Long Qiupeng finally chose the short horse. The reason is simple, it is purely about safety.
After all, if the horse's character is more arrogant and violent, Long Qiupeng, who has never had experience in horse taming, has no way to ride it, let alone fight with the other party. So after thinking about it, although this pony doesn't seem so majestic to ride, and the speed is not too fast, because of his stable temperament, he should be able to help him fight those barbarians after a short period of training.
The core problem is solved, and the remaining problems can basically be solved by the Great Lake, and like the recurve bow, this secret weapon that can improve efficiency through a simple process is used as a core technology and needs to be handled carefully.
Dahu is not a workaholic, but he is keen on all kinds of new things that Long Qiupeng brought him, so he announced the suspension of teaching after receiving the order, and many students wanted to join him, but he rejected them one by one.
Yi's eyes were empty all the way, did he watch Long Qiupeng take danger, Long Qiupeng felt that there were three words written on his face: Is it worth it? He didn't speak, but silently replied in his heart, of course, it's not worth my personal risk, but in this situation, he always has to show his absolute ability in order to maintain his absolute power.
This is very important, but also very frustrating. Because the tribe led by Xi is a matrilineal clan society, the whole social atmosphere has the gentleness and motherhood unique to women, so Zen makes it seem very peaceful and smooth. As he came into contact with more and more tribal civilizations, he learned later that the Zen system was as gentle as it sounded on the surface.
In fact, there are still many tribes whose Zen concessions are accompanied by disasters and riots, among which the Lu tribe is a tribe with such a culture. Often, when the previous leader made a major mistake or a major disaster recently occurred, and many people died in the tribe, if someone in the tribe was suspicious, they would blame the previous leader for all this, and then they would enlist their cronies to start a riot and take the position of leader from the other party. In this case, the original leader will be driven out of the tribe, or the original leader will be killed.
Long Qiupeng is now the head of a clan, and there are nearly 2,000 people under him, and he has a division of labor in both civil and military affairs, and he also wants to only come up with ideas behind his back, just command and command.
But the reality does not allow it, and he still needs to fight again and again to prove his strength and authority in the tribe.
If you want to improve your military ability, you have to have horses, and if you want horses, you must conquer those barbarians from the north, and if you want to conquer those barbarians, you must fight their leaders. This series of things is tied together, and Long Qiupeng is basically unavoidable. So it doesn't make sense to talk about whether it's worth it or not.
Because of the barbarian affairs, Long Qiupeng ended his vacation early and restarted the morning meeting system, but Xiong had already gone to Qiutu Village with Long Qiupeng's order, waiting for those barbarians who planned to grab food to appear. So the only ones here today are the Great Lake, the deer, and the creek.
Xi is the one who is the furthest from this matter, these days she teaches in the morning, and in the afternoon she takes a few newly selected people to help her take care of the supplies, and soon the logistics of the tribe are back on track, and she is not so tired, and occasionally has free time and likes to study herbs with the old people.
Although she had heard of the new famous hall that Long Qiupeng had made, she didn't care about it at all, so when Dahu appeared like this, she was really startled, out of the professional instinct of a "mother" and "doctor", before Long Qiupeng opened his mouth, he rushed to ask: "Are you sick?" Why didn't you listen to Tao Mu? ”
