This time, the black horse's movement was forcibly interrupted, and it neighed, turned around, and ran again. Because the movement was too fast and too strong, Xu Chen was almost pulled off the pony's back.
"Drive~"
Feeling the power and speed of the black horse, Xu Chen did not dare to be careless and quickly urged the pony to follow. Then the two horses ran back and forth on the river beach in circles.
Xu Chen took the opportunity and kept tightening the rope. After running like this for four or five times, the black horse was finally choked by the rope and began to be unable to breathe, and its movements became slower and slower.
Mo Ye, who was hung under the horse's neck, took the opportunity to clamp the horse's neck with his legs, and his whole body was hung under the horse's neck like a hanging ball.
Under the heavy pressure and burden, the black horse's strength became weaker and weaker. After running for half a circle again, it stopped completely. Finally, there was insufficient oxygen and his legs bent forward and he knelt on the ground with a pop.
Xu Chen quickly jumped off the horse, rushed up to loosen the noose, and at the same time shouted a greeting to put the reins back on.
"Huhuhuhu~~"
Mo was lying on the ground, looking up at the sky, gasping for air. There were several big holes in his pants, and he looked very embarrassed.
The black horse was even more uncomfortable. He was half-kneeling on the ground with white foam spraying from the corners of his mouth. He gasped for air for a long time before he stood up.
But this time it didn't struggle at all. Instead, it lowered its head and nibbled a few mouthfuls of grass. It looked like it had completely given up.
Xu Chen let out a long breath.
Mo's forced riding and training just now didn't seem intense, but in fact it was extremely dangerous.
But fortunately it was still successful.
This dark horse is the leader of the younger generation among a group of wild horses. He should be four or five years old, when he is at his strongest. However, because he has too little experience, he underestimated human wisdom, and this time he was completely defeated by humans.
superior.
"Eh~~"
The pony came up to him, gave the black horse a few gentle nudges, and then lowered his head to eat grass together.
It can be seen that Xiao Ma is very happy to have so many companions. At the same time, he also feels the emotion of the elder brother of the tribe admitting defeat, so he steps forward to comfort him.
After resting for a few minutes, Mo turned over and got up from the ground, and climbed onto the back of the black horse again. This time, although the black horse still shook its body unaccustomedly and neighed and jumped for a while, it was far less agitated than before and soon calmed down.
"嘢嚯~~~"
Seeing Mo sitting firmly on the back of the black horse and waving around triumphantly, the crowd of onlookers burst into warm cheers.
This also stimulated the other hunters even more, and they all eagerly stepped forward to get closer to the remaining horses.
Xu Chen asked Mo to lead the black horse to the side first, leaving room to continue trying to tame the other wild horses.
Half a day flew by quickly.
The hunters who participated in horse taming had successes and failures, and some were even injured, but the final result made Xu Chen and all the hunters very happy. This time the forced taming was very successful. Under the strong encirclement and oppression of hundreds of people, five horses, big and small, were
The horses were finally tamed and accepted the forced riding of humans.
It happened that tomorrow we were going to go to the Gonghuo Clan, and a group of hunters clamored to take five horses with them.
Although Xu Chen was a little worried, he finally agreed.
As long as they are carefully guarded on the road to prevent them from escaping, after more than ten days of this trip, these horses should be completely adapted to human riding. Even if they cannot ride, they can still help carry things.
Therefore, after returning home, Xu Chen urgently arranged to make simple saddles and stirrups, and also found the two carrying baskets he had originally made for the pony.
In the evening, after dinner, a group of women nervously packed up the belongings and dry food they would bring for the next day. Xu Chen led a group of hunters to the river beach to put saddles or rattan baskets on a few wild horses and continue training to carry people and goods.
…
"Woo~wu~wu~~~"
A long team set off in the morning light and through the mist.
The surrounding mountains are filled with birds singing and mountain flowers blooming.
The clear river and the blue sky are a rare mid-spring scenery.
The three flags fluttered in the warm spring breeze, and followed the sound of horns as they moved farther and farther along the river beach.
Among the team, there were several tall horses that attracted special attention.
In addition to two groups of heavily armed hunters, there was also a group of young women in white dresses.
One of the girls was wearing an exquisite long dress embroidered with patterns and a blue cloak. She was holding a golden scepter in her hand and riding on a pony. Her delicate figure was
As you walk, you gently rise and fall, and the cloak of your cloak flutters and rolls in the wind, giving you a divine beauty.
Xu Chen led the pony and walked slowly, talking and laughing with the people around him.
At the front was a burly man wearing double armor and carrying a bow and arrow, riding on a black horse, swaying and smiling like a fool.
The other horses also had people riding on them, but they all looked cautious and looked a little vulgar.
It was the first time for everyone to ride a horse seriously, and it was far less relaxed than Xu Chen's usual rides.
Walking on horseback, he kept grinning.
It turns out that riding a horse is not as fun as imagined.
It's really fast to run, and the journey is effortless at all, but it hurts my balls a little and makes them feel broken.
The purpose of setting off to the Gonghuo Clan this time was to complete the second agreement reached with the Gonghuo Clan Grand Shaman and hold a grand inheritance ceremony, so that the Gonghuo Tribe Alliance could fully recognize and accept the leadership of the Ba Tribe Grand Shaman.
This matter is very important for ruling the Gonghuo Tribe Alliance.
Only after this is completed can the Gonghuo Clan completely surrender.
Only then could Xu Chen successfully reach out to this large and unfamiliar area, begin to cultivate his own power, and finally completely take over the basin where the Gonghuo Tribe is located as his own.
According to his plan, the first town of his Great Morning Empire will appear in the Gonghuo Basin. It should be completed within two years. Of course, it may take longer. This depends on the compliance of the Gonghuo Tribe Alliance.
The degree, in addition, also depends on the speed of farming promotion.
Of course, the biggest obstacle is insufficient population.
According to the exchange with the Gonghuo Clan Great Witch, the Gonghuo Clan Alliance has a total of ten tribes, large and small. It takes five days to reach the Gonghuo Clan at the farthest. This range is more than twice as large as the Uzbek Clan Alliance. The entire alliance population
The number should be about two thousand, almost twice that of the Six Clans Alliance.
Including the six ethnic alliances, the total population is only 3,000
Even if the entire population of the two alliance tribes were moved together, the population would only be the size of a small town.
This is the maximum population he can control right now.
What's more, after the inheritance ceremony of the great witch, it is still unknown whether all the tribes in the Gonghuo Alliance are willing to accept the leadership of the great witch of the Ba tribe. Maybe those tribes that are too far away will simply leave the alliance and join other great witches.
This is a very real problem.
No matter what, Xu Chen himself felt slightly satisfied with the progress in front of him.
Having fewer people is an objective reality.
After all, this is still the ancient Stone Age of prehistoric civilization.
From the time when I first crossed over, there were only fifty people in the Ba tribe, to now there are three thousand, their strength has increased sixty times in two years, so I should be satisfied.
It is estimated that the total number of primitive humans on the entire earth should only be in the millions, and the number in China is hundreds of thousands at most. This number is estimated to be about the same as the number of tigers, and even the number of wild wolves is greater than that of humans.
.
Because in this era of vast land and sparsely populated areas, the scope of human life is very narrow, and there are far more wild animals than humans. As long as you go out, you can see traces of wild wolves everywhere. In some of the more inaccessible deep mountains and old forests, there are wolves, bears, tigers and leopards.
These beasts all live together.
In other words, even if Xu Chen tried his best to conquer the entire former territory of China, he would only become a primitive empire with a population of hundreds of thousands at most.
And this is impossible.
Because the area that can be controlled is directly proportional to the population, only the larger the population, the larger the territory can be controlled.
For more than a thousand years from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Qin and Han dynasties, the population increased from a few million to tens of millions, and China finally incorporated the Yunnan-Guizhou area in the south into its territory.
From the beginning to the end, the scope of activities of the Chinese people in the pre-Qin period has been limited to the Yellow River Basin. The Yangtze River Basin was not developed until the middle and late Han Dynasty, and it was not really prosperous until the Tang and Song Dynasties. The Pearl River Basin was not really developed until the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
success.
In other words, Xu Chen would never be able to create a territory as powerful as the Han and Tang empires in his lifetime.
Therefore, his ambition is not big, that is, to expand as far as possible to the plain areas downstream of the river, and finally find a place similar to the Guanzhong Plain or the Chengdu Plain, and establish a small country with a population of tens of thousands, so as to complete the upgrade of human civilization.
As for further plans, he couldn't have them.
After all, he was just a geological surveyor. He was thrown into this primitive and wild place to guide the development of savages. It was not his expertise in the first place.
He has even been hoping to find traces of extraterrestrial civilizations.
Because he always believed that earth civilization first originated from extraterrestrial civilization, otherwise how could Sanxingdui and the Pyramids be explained?
Even geologists still have a lot of unexplained phenomena about many ancient civilization relics on the earth.
In addition, a large number of myths and stories in ancient China also foreshadow the existence of existence beyond human civilization on the prehistoric earth. Otherwise, how can we explain such a strange book as the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
The content inside completely exceeded human understanding of the earth at that time, and even the mountains and landforms described in it may have been the situation before the great flood.
In short, Xu Chen is now full of contradictions and passion.
Traveling back to this barbaric period of prehistoric civilization, although life was painful, it was full of expectations and impulses that could reveal the mystery of prehistoric human civilization.
