In Xu Chen's eyes, this exchange between the great witches, who were like dancing masters and full of mystery and ancient atmosphere in the eyes of all primitive savages, was not as simple as just deciding the winner.
Through this inheritance competition and communication, the two witches found the answers they wanted from each other's witchcraft songs and dances.
The Gonghuo and Yugong clans should have had the same great witch a long, long time ago.
Because the oldest greetings exchanged between the two people are filled with a large number of the same syllables, movements and other elements.
Although this kind of communication does not allow two people to have normal conversations and exchanges, it can shorten the distance between them through this great witch inheritance and obtain some more useful information than simple verbal communication.
The old witch who won the victory did not feel proud. On the contrary, she was very serious about the great witch of the Yu Gong clan. She also squatted slightly, and then walked up to Xu Chen and began to make gestures and tell the story of the exchange between the witches.
score.
Through these congratulations and dances, she learned that the Yu Gong clan migrated from the far northwest a long time ago. Many of the sayings are similar to those of the Wu clan. In fact, the Gonghuo clan also has many similar great witch inheritances, but the records between various tribes are somewhat different.
It's not the same, so the information passed down will be somewhat different.
In view of the similarity in the inheritance of great witches between the Gonghuo Clan and the Yu Gong Clan, the nearby tribes, including the Wu Clan, should roughly come from the same place and inherit the same shaman from ancient times.
The only difference is that the Gonghuo Tribe has no legend about fireballs falling from the sky. They have lived in this area for a longer time and may have migrated here before the natural disaster.
Xu Chen had no interest in this kind of singing and dancing witch language. After figuring out these simple information, he asked the great witch of the Yugong clan to take the old witch to the cave to check their great witch inheritance and do some more in-depth understanding and understanding.
comminicate.
Communicating with witches is not Xu Chen's forte, and he has little interest in the past.
These barbaric tribes have no history at all. Except for witches, the life values of ordinary people are eating, drinking, sleeping, driving piles and making babies. Their outlook on life and world view are completely zero.
Xu Chen is most concerned about reality and the future now.
How are the nearby tribes distributed, how many people there are, what mineral resources there are, what tribes are further away, where they are roughly distributed, etc.
As for the arrangements of the Yugong clan, they are basically the same as those of the Gonghuo clan.
Although he does not kill these tribes, this is an era of the weak and the strong, and in order to increase the enthusiasm and interest of the alliance tribes in participating in the war, the benefits that should be given must still be given, and the trophies that should be obtained must still be obtained.
This time, the Maotun and Yugong tribes, as the defeated tribes, will be robbed of at least 10% of their women. These women will be distributed among the several tribes participating in this war according to the number of participants and become permanent spoils of war.
In addition, given that it is now the time for various tribes to build houses on a large scale, especially the tribes in the Gonghuo Basin such as the Gonghuo Tribe and the Lei Tribe, they are in urgent need of a large number of manpower. The Maoton Tribe and the Yugong Tribe will be robbed of more than a hundred people.
The captive team went to Gonghuo Basin and Uzu Mining to undergo labor reform. The time was still one year, and the ransom was still the same as that of the Gonghuo Tribe. They could wait until spring to redeem them with animal skins.
But this time there was no punitive war reparations for the next ten years.
After all, this war was initiated by Xu Chen. He just wanted to plunder more people to participate in the construction of the alliance tribe.
As for whether the Maotun and Yugong tribes want to do it or not, that's not up to them.
He believed that if these tribes dared to say no, they would be beaten into pieces by the tribesmen who came to help, and a lot of casualties would be inevitable.
Xu Chen is kind because he comes from an era of advanced civilization and has full human rights and moral awareness.
In the eyes of these barbaric primitive people, war has always meant death, escaping, or being eaten. Xu Chen's act of not doing anything but robbing people can be called the gentleness of a god.
So there won't be any big changes in this matter.
He believed both tribes would be happy to accept it.
Sure enough, after the old witch had an equal and friendly discussion with the great witch of the Yugong clan under Xu Chen's instruction, the great witch of the Yugong clan readily agreed to Xu Chen's request, saying that she would do her best to ask the clansmen to cooperate with the arrangement, and would definitely not
There will be trouble.
Because she now fully understands Xu Chen's strength. He has two major alliances and three witches, a total of sixteen tribes, and they are within two days of coming and going from the other side of the river.
This is a terrifying force that the Yugong Clan Alliance cannot resist.
If they do not agree, the entire alliance tribe will cease to exist and will definitely be wiped out by the two major alliance forces of the Ba tribe and the Gonghuo tribe, and all the wealth and population will be robbed.
As for accepting the inheritance from the great witch, Xu Chen will roughly arrange it after the beginning of spring. Just like last year when he went to the Gonghuo Tribe to hold the inheritance ceremony, he will arrange for someone to notify him in advance.
Because he still can't decide when he can return to the Ba tribe.
In addition, in order to let the great witch of the Yugong clan see the gap in civilization and strength between the two different tribes, Xu Chen asked her to follow the old witch to the Gonghuo clan this time to see the prosperous and vigorous development trend of the place.
As the saying goes, seeing is believing.
For these primitive savages who have never seen the world, the best way is to let them go out and see the world.
Then, through such things as captives and labor reform, we can speed up the spread of knowledge and culture and strengthen language learning and exchanges between strange tribes.
Although Xu Chen's labor reform seems to be to solve the dilemma of insufficient working population, its greater significance is still in communication and integration.
One year of study is enough to change these people's lives.
After the plundered tribes obtain the advanced experience and technology brought back by these captives, they will also greatly accelerate the transformation and upgrading of their tribes.
War has always been the fastest and most effective means of upgrading and integrating civilizations.
The colonists brought not only plunder and oppression, but also advanced knowledge and culture.
As for morality and human rights, freedom and democracy, well, that’s what happened later. Now there is nothing, it just depends on who has the biggest fist.
The next two days will be about the follow-up arrangements for the two tribes.
Feng took some people back to the Maotun tribe and selected a group of young and strong women to send to the Yugong tribe. Then he gathered the selected men and women here and asked Lei to lead the reinforcements to temporarily take everyone to the Gonghuo Basin.
The great shaman of the Yugong clan also set out at the same time to go to the Gonghuo clan to gain more knowledge.
Of course, she won't go for a long time, only ten days at most. The main purpose is to let her see the huge gap in the development of the two alliance tribes and let her know what to do in the future.
In order to ensure the safety of the great shaman of the Yu Gong clan, Xu Chen not only allowed the Yu Gong clan to arrange a team of more than 20 hunters to accompany him for protection, but also repeatedly told the great shaman of the Gonghuo clan and Lei and other military leaders to protect them on their way in and out.
The safety of the great witch.
After two busy days, the reinforcements withdrew and left with hundreds of male and female captives.
After sending off this huge team, Xu Chen also led the team to set off again, taking several Yu Gong clan leaders and hunters as guides to visit several nearby tribes.
As for the raft, it was first thrown to Lei and others, and they were asked to send everyone across the river, and then send it to the Yugong clan near the river mouth, and arrange for people to stay with the Yugong clan to take care of it.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xu Chen is expected to return within half a month, and then continue to ride the raft further down the river.
There are eight tribes in the Yugong Clan Alliance.
But the La tribe does not belong to this alliance tribe, but is a small tribe that survives alone. What surprised Xu Chen most is that the La tribe also had witches before and was once powerful. The Maotun tribe was once a subordinate tribe of the La tribe, but
Because there was a problem with the inheritance of the great witch of the La tribe, the Maotun tribe drove him to a remote place and turned to join the Yugong tribe, gaining new protection from the gods.
Xu Chen was not interested in the old grudges between the Maotun tribe and the La tribe, not to mention that the La tribe had already been destroyed and was given to the Lei tribe as a favor. What he was interested in now was the remaining six people who had submitted to the Yugong tribe.
the situation of a tribe.
With the participation of the great wizard of the Gonghuo clan, the communication with the Yugong clan will be much smoother.
Although it is impossible to delve into the details, we can still get a rough idea of the rough alliance structure and tribal distribution.
Several tribes of the Yugong Clan Alliance are still scattered in the nearby mountains and river valleys. Their number of people is slightly larger than that of the Ba Clan Alliance. The Yugong Clan, guarded by witches, is the most powerful, followed by the Maotun Clan, and the other six tribes are also there.
It ranges from dozens to two hundred people.
The farthest one is a tribe called Meng. It takes at least three days to go there, which is farther than the journey from the Ba tribe to the Cang tribe.
And the further south you go, the virgin forests become denser and the river valleys of various sizes are densely packed, which is far more complicated than the situation near the river.
It is said that if the Mongolian people continue to go south, they will enter the sphere of influence of a more barbaric indigenous tribe.
The Yu Gong clan, like the Wu Gonghuo clan, is a race that migrated from the northwest, but the clans living in the mountains, valleys and primeval forests in the south are all out-and-out local tribes. They live in caves.
Being able to use fire and drink blood is almost like a wild beast.
The so-called burrow is to imitate animals digging holes in the soil to live.
How old is this? Why are you still digging holes like groundhogs to survive?
Are there no rock caves in the area?
While on the road, Xu Chen listened to the constant explanations of several Yugong guides who were leading the way. Although he couldn't understand what he heard, he could roughly imagine the living conditions of some of the indigenous tribes, which were far better than the tribes he was familiar with.
Their living conditions are even more primitive and harsh, and they have basically not broken away from their animal attributes.
