From the moment she saw this big house, the old witch was completely shocked and impressed.
As a witch, I have my own pride.
They are obsessed with ancient inheritance, take it as their duty to understand God's revelations, and spend their lives studying how to guide the development, reproduction and growth of the tribe.
But witches are different from witches, and gods are different from gods. The gods believed in by each great witch inheritance have formed their own unique beliefs, and they cannot tolerate the existence of another witch that is more powerful than their own inheritance.
This is a battle of faith.
Because those tribes without witches will actively seek refuge with the most powerful witches, so that their tribes can gain more divine favor and protection.
The Gonghuo Tribe was defeated in this battle. The Great Witch and many Gonghuo Tribes may have been angry and disdainful of Xu Chen's indiscriminate sneak attack method.
But today, after the Ba people witnessed all these incomprehensible miracles, the old witch was completely convinced.
The gods of the Ba tribe are indeed more powerful than the gods of the Gonghuo tribe.
Just by looking at the clothes worn by the great shaman of the Ba tribe and the ferocious and domineering dragon-headed scepter studded with golden light and gems in his hand, one can tell that the god who protects the Ba tribe is an extremely powerful and domineering existence.
Compared with the scepter in the hand of the Ba tribe's great witch, her great witch's scepter, which had been passed down for unknown ages, was almost the same as a fire stick placed by the fire pit.
With the strong aura of the Ba tribe and the defeat that has now become a fait accompli, the Gonghuo tribe does not have much room to argue or even bargain.
In fact, Xu Chen had been very kind, leaving all the animal skins and food to the Gonghuo and Qia tribes, and not harming any innocent tribesmen too much.
Even the time limit for exchange and compensation of property is extended as much as possible.
Although the final sum of these assets is very huge, it is still within the tolerance of the two tribes. It will only be a bit more miserable, but it is not to the point of breaking the bones.
The only thing that makes the two tribes uncomfortable is that most of the men have been captured and sent to the Six Tribes Alliance for labor reform. The women, children, old and young of the two tribes are likely to have a very hard life this winter and spring, and may often go hungry or even starve to death.
But it's far better than being killed.
Because in many previous battles between tribes, the losing side would face a bloody massacre.
This is also the reason why the Cang people will persist in resisting to the death.
Although Xu Chen has never experienced such a cruel war, even on Earth in the 21st century, wars between different races are still bloody and brutal.
The Rwandan genocide shocked the world. In just two months, the death toll exceeded 800,000.
In addition, there are countless small-scale tribal and ethnic massacres in Africa.
Compared with African tribes that have integrated with civilization, the current battles between primitive tribes are more cruel and bloody.
Xu Chen used his unique courage and wisdom to end this war, and at the same time started another relatively civilized way of tribal warfare.
There is no bloody massacre, the losing side only needs to redeem the prisoners, compensate for the losses, accept the recognition of the great witch, and then live in peace.
This is the best ending.
It doesn't matter whether everyone is happy or not, what matters is that this matter can finally come to a perfect end in a peaceful way.
The Ba Nationality Alliance received a portion of the population and property as compensation.
The Gonghuo and Qia tribes retain basically intact tribes and great shaman heritage, and their lives will not be greatly disturbed.
The agreement was very simple, still the original rough agreement, but more carefully discussed.
First, within three years, the Gonghuo and Qia tribes have the right to redeem their men with animal skins and goods.
Second, the Gonghuo tribe and the Qia tribe should compensate the Cang tribe for one hundred animal skins.
Third, within ten years, the Gonghuo Tribe and the Qia Tribe will compensate the Six Tribes Alliance for one hundred animal skins and other valuable items every year.
Fourth, the forty young women selected by Xu Chen will leave the Gonghuo and Qia tribes and officially join the Ba tribe.
Fifth, the great shaman of the Gonghuo tribe accepts the recognition and blessing of the great shaman of the Ba tribe, accepts the new inheritance, is respected by the great shaman of the Ba tribe in terms of status, and is not allowed to betray, participate in the unified Mother's Day and shaman chiefs' conference sacrifices every year, and intermarry.
Peaceful coexistence.
All terms will be entered into in writing and the Gonghuo Clan must strictly abide by them.
Of course, a slap in the face and a date, a carrot and a stick are the best ways to conquer.
The Ba people will teach the Gonghuo people and allied tribes who are willing to surrender various advanced skills such as rope-twirling, net-making, basket-weaving, straw-making, fishing, house-building, farming, breeding, and food storage.
The old witch was so excited by Xu Chen's generosity that she almost fell into the fire pit.
If these advanced technologies are obtained, the Gonghuo Tribe and its allied tribes will soon develop rapidly, greatly improving their living and living conditions.
Therefore, after Mu Ba and others hurriedly helped the old witch up from the edge of the pond and sat firmly, the old witch excitedly put forward new demands, hoping that the Ba people could provide two more advanced technologies, pottery making and weaving.
However, Xu Chen shook his head and refused, but he did not completely refuse to die, but said that it would depend on the future attitude of the Gonghuo Tribe Alliance.
If the compensation can be completed strictly in accordance with the contract, spinning and weaving can be taught within the next three years. Of course, there are new additional conditions, that is, a certain amount of linen thread and linen must be paid to the Ba people every year.
As for pottery, it is the core skill of the Ba people. It will not be spread to the outside world for the time being. It can only be exchanged for things. You can use animal skins now, and you can use linen or other property in the future.
Although the old witch was a little disappointed, she also gained some hope. She nodded and said that after returning, she would definitely urge the two tribes to complete war compensation as soon as possible.
In addition, in order to promote better exchanges and cooperation between the two tribal alliances, Xu Chen proposed that the Gonghuo tribe could select a group of young men and women around the age of ten to learn writing and calculation from the Ba tribe. The old witch did not refuse this proposal, and even
I think it's a very good thing.
There is no doubt about the power of the Ba people, and this kind of mutual learning is also an important means of understanding and communicating with each other.
After completing the main agreement, in the following time, based on the basic principles of mutual benefit and peaceful coexistence, Xu Chen and the old witch discussed in depth some details of strengthening exchanges and cooperation between the two parties.
In order to guide the Gonghuo people in opening up wasteland for farming and building houses and other developments related to housing and food security, the Ba people will send a joint guidance team to the Gonghuo people to station, and at the same time inspect the local flora and fauna and ecological environment, and prepare for further development.
To develop new technologies and plans for farming and animal husbandry, the Gonghuo Clan will provide the necessary arrangements and protection for the safety needs of this guidance group in terms of food, residence and activities.
After the beginning of spring and before Mother's Day, the great witches of the Ba tribe will visit the Gonghuo tribe and arrange a grand blessing ceremony. The inheritance status of the great witches of the Gonghuo tribe will be officially recognized at the conference. At that time, the Gonghuo tribe will need to follow the agreement.
, summon all the affiliated tribes to participate in this grand meeting.
At the same time, Xu Chen will also bring pottery, linen, fishing nets and other items urgently needed by the Gonghuo tribe to hold a trading event to promote personnel exchanges and trade between the two sides.
The old witch nodded in agreement to all the friendly exchanges proposed by Xu Chen, saying that she would definitely cooperate with the arrangements of the Ba people and the big witch, and also expressed her extreme gratitude to Xu Chen for such generous help.
Under the grand blueprint drawn by Xu Chen, the old witch seemed to have seen that within a few years, the Gonghuo people would become as wealthy as the Ba people, living in big houses, wearing commoners, and having endless pottery.
In order to make the old witch realize the benefits of clearing land for farming and animal husbandry, Xu Chen, Muba and others accompanied her to carefully visit the chickens and ducks raised in the yard and the piles of grain in the warehouse.
After reading this with the support of two young women, the old witch was so excited that she wanted to go to the kiln to see the pottery.
So Xu Chen personally accompanied him to the kiln factory.
When she saw the smoke billowing from the earthen kiln of the kiln and the countless pottery piled messily under several pergolas to the open air, the old witch was completely confused and lost her mind.
She only knew that the Ba people's pottery was indeed plentiful and cheap, but she didn't expect it to be so plentiful.
The little clay pot that they treated as a treasure and exchanged five thick animal skins for it was actually the smallest and most inconspicuous one here.
Then the old witch suddenly felt like she had been tricked by the Qia clan.
Because that clay pot was given to them by their allies, the Qia tribe, at twice the price.
And for the sake of this kind of pottery, which was inconspicuous among the Ba people, they actually launched a war that almost led to the destruction of their family.
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. The old witch cried loudly in front of a group of Gonghuo and Qia men and women who lived in the kiln in fear.
At this moment, she was no longer the spiritual leader respected by all the tribesmen and the alliance. Instead, she was like an ordinary old woman who had been greatly hit and could not bear the grievance. She deeply blamed and regretted the wrong orders she had given.
This capture and journey were both a profound humiliation and an unforgettable journey of knowledge and experience.
With their dazzling magical creations, the Ba people completely conquered this powerful tribe that had made the Uwu people in trouble.
After crying and calming down, the old witch Dundun warned a group of captured men and women that they must obey the Ba tribe's arrangements, work hard and actively accept transformation, and must not show any resistance or resistance at all.
With the old witch's comfort and explanation, Xu Chen finally let out a long breath.
For such a large group of savages who have not yet been fully civilized, staying with the Ba people actually involves a lot of risks.
But the final outcome still made him very satisfied.
Letting the other party's great shaman come and give his own explanation is the most critical point in this. It's not even easy to bring the clan leader.
The best way to conquer these savages is not to suppress them forcefully. The more barbaric and uncivilized the tribe is, the harder it is to make them submit by force. The less knowledgeable and educated the people are, the more they believe in gods and ghosts.
Therefore, he only needs to conquer the opponent's witch, and things that seem complicated and difficult become relatively easy.
