Chapter 107: Agricultural Civilization

Looking at the bright lights shining in the distance, the defenders of the city looked solemn, this time they were attacked by a local big force, and it seemed that there were quite a few people on the other side.

They kept climbing the walls, and the defenders used almost all hands at the same time, barely allowing the natives to break into the walls, but as the offensive became more and more intense, the defenders seemed to be a little struggling.

Watching a point of light in the distance gradually leaning against the city wall, it can't be like this anymore!

"Yes, we can use artillery, maybe we can scare them away." That's when someone suggested.

After permission, the defenders directly took out the artillery, trying to scare away the natives through the sound of the cannon, this trick really worked, the natives heard the loud noise and looked in the direction of the cannon, they looked at the fire not far away, all of them were so frightened that they threw their torches on the ground and prostrate on the ground.

When the defenders saw that the results were good, they called for soldiers who could speak the indigenous language, and shouted, "If you don't retreat quickly, do you still want to suffer divine punishment?" The natives who heard this picked up their torches and fled, and the guards, fearing that they would return, kept watch all night, knowing that they would not rest during the day.

The next morning, Hou Zongsheng gathered all the officials of Sita for a meeting, and last night according to the number of torches, it was roughly established that there were nearly 1,000 natives in this attack, and only 300 people in the entire Sita could have the strength to fight, and the police officers of the Sheriff's Department were also added.

But what if the next time they attack again, and the artillery is useless? So Hou Zongsheng prepared all the people to be soldiers, so that the entire Sita people can learn military knowledge, and train them, he is also ready to put the training of musketeers on the agenda, before they came, he specially gave him 50 muskets, to prevent the past in case, Hou Zongsheng thought before that since they can live in harmony, why train soldiers, now I finally know, there will always be some people who will hit the muzzle.

Obviously, this large-scale operation also alarmed the people of the Umbrella Tree Tribe, who came early in the morning to inquire about the situation and saw that everything in the city was intact, and then Hou Zongsheng learned from the people of the Umbrella Tree tribe that this tribe was the largest tribe in the area, and it was also the one that occupied the copper mines.

Hou Zongsheng was very angry when he found out, there is a way in heaven for you not to take, and there is no door for hell for you to break into. Originally, Hou Zongsheng was going to come and salute first and then soldier, if they were willing, it would naturally be easy to do, if they didn't want to, then say something else, anyway, taking their time will always assimilate them. Now that they are bullying him directly, can he still sit idly by?

So now officially began to train the residents, not to train anything else, just teach them how to fire artillery and defend the city, at the same time Sita also began to recruit troops to form a self-defense force, the system Pengyu is not worried about the safety of immigrants, so at the same time from the army to draw a team of more than ten people to come together, used to protect the safety of everyone, now Hou Zongsheng wants to form a self-defense force, so the captain of this team is appointed as the captain of the self-defense force, and the rest of the people are to arrange positions according to the specific situation, and now their task is to train recruits.

There are quite a few people who are willing to be soldiers, and they also saw it when the indigenous people were in charge that day, and this is also their homeland, so naturally they must protect it and not let it be destroyed, so there are still a lot of people who are willing to participate. Due to the fact that in order to ensure production and for various other reasons, not too many people were recruited into the army, and the size of the escort team was only more than 100 people, all of whom were in good physical condition or had special skills.

On the other side, the Cham people in the Umbrella Tree tribe heard that Sita had been attacked, and they were still very worried, but fortunately, there was no danger, and they were a little relieved, and they definitely gave guidance to the natives as soon as possible and went back as soon as possible.

Jian Hechun asked, "What kind of land were you in that day?" ”

"Right here." The natives pointed to their feet.

Jian Hechun was speechless, what is it planted on stones? Jian Hechun said: "I didn't tell you, planting must be heavy in the ground, how can you plant on stones." ”

"This is the field." The natives are right.

Well, I'll admit that I made a mistake, but Jian and Chun didn't know how to explain it to them, so they said, "This land is too barren. ”

The natives scratched their heads, they had not yet learned the word barren, and naturally did not know what it meant.

Jian Hechun didn't know how to explain to the natives, so he said, "This kind of land that can't be dug can't be used to grow food." ”

So they went down the mountain together, found a piece of flat land, and said, "This can be used to grow grain." ”

At this time, everyone finally understood, so they began to cultivate the land and plant. Jian Hechun nodded with satisfaction, finally let them understand, he looked around, relying on the water source, it was also bright, yes, suitable for farming, and then he took a general look, there was no problem with planting, and the water was also released, it seemed that they had comprehended the method of planting.

So they said goodbye to the tribe and returned to Sita. The Umbrella Tree Chief also decided to relocate the tribe, he went to Siduo several times to learn from the experience, and finally decided to move the tribe to the plains, originally they were only temporarily settled, and the location of the residence was naturally not so strict, as long as they could live, but now since they decided to become a settled civilization, they naturally have to consider a number of issues, most of the ancient cities were built on water, and then it was production and life, and now food production has begun, so they decided to move the settlement to the side of the farmland, one is by water, and the other is convenient for farming.

After learning that the Umbrella Tree tribe had moved to their upper reaches, Hou Zongsheng built a wharf on the bank of the river, and arranged for craftsmen to build small transport boats, which were convenient for trade by boats, otherwise they would have been running slow on the road, after all, they didn't have horses or anything, and it was too slow to transport goods by people, and it was different to use a boat, and a few people could transport a lot of goods, and the speed was faster than walking.

Most of the natives had never seen a boat, and probably they came by boat when they migrated from Africa to Oceania, but so long since they were nomadic they didn't know how to build a ship, let alone control it.

So the natives who saw the boat for the first time expressed their amazement, this small thing can withstand so many people on the water, which is a novelty for them, but most of them are good at water, in addition to nomadism, they also fish, after all, at certain times, the area will lack prey, and they will catch fish and eat during the time of their migration.
