Chapter 880 The cavalry must start from the doll (three in one)
After the eldest brother and nearly a hundred or so people left, the Qingque Lord Tribe suddenly seemed a lot empty.
However, everyone was not idle, and was still carrying out various tasks.
Even because so many people left at once, the people who stayed in the tribe became even busier.
Next to the blacksmith's stove, the clanking sound of forging iron continued to sound, and the second senior brother was still processing meteorite iron there.
The ease of use of meteorite weapons made him become selfless when playing iron, and he wanted to build more meteorite weapons faster and better.
So much so that in order to save more energy for blacksmithing, he rarely touches his spouses when sleeping at night, and there is a tendency to develop into an abstinent male god.
In the carpenter's room, Lame led Mao Er and other new generation carpenters to continue making donkey saddles and donkey stirrups.
Han Cheng meant to at least make something that could equip the adult donkeys in the tribe with half of the donkey saddles and stirrups.
That's thirty-one.
In this way, the tribe can try to form a group of donkey cavalry.
Of course, the donkey cavalry mentioned by Han Cheng cannot be compared with the sophisticated cavalry in ancient times.
It is impossible to draw a bow on a donkey, or even charge with a weapon while riding a donkey.
But it can greatly improve everyone's mobility, and it can also greatly save physical strength.
Even when encountering some tribes that have never seen a creature like a donkey, the weird shape of the donkey alone can scare them into running away.
So it is still necessary to try.
Of course, according to the current level of the tribe, it is impossible to afford a professional army. These people are still the same as before, training every two days, and when the farming is busy, they will rely on the work in the fields.
For the Lord, stop training and go farming.
But even this level of training is enough. After all, in this era, this kind of training has far exceeded all the tribes known to Han Cheng.
Faced with such a Qingque tribe, those tribes who dare to mess up will only be beaten.
"Let these children herd the sheep for you. When you herd the sheep, let them ride on the sheep. Of course, they cannot ride on the pregnant ewe."
In the early morning, the old sheep and some other people picked up the herding whips hanging outside the sheepfold, took the dogs that had learned to herd sheep, carried dry food on their backs, and prepared to open the sheepfold and start a new day of herding.
It was at this time that Han Cheng came over with a group of more than 20 children.
These minors are not very old, the oldest is no more than seven years old, and the youngest is less than five years old.
The reason why Han Cheng did this was not because he disliked these little guys being too noisy in the tribe, but because he wanted to train these minors into more qualified cavalry.
As a person who liked to read history before time travel, Han Cheng knew a little bit about why nomads were mostly natural cavalry.
The biggest reason is caused by living conditions.
Because these people have been in contact with livestock such as cattle, sheep, and horses since they were young. Many of them rode sheep when they were young and rode horses when they grew up. It can be said that they grew up on the backs of sheep or horses.
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if their riding skills were not good.
So Han Chengcheng wanted to follow suit and let this group of children go herding sheep with Lao Yang and the others, and they would need to ride more sheep on the way.
On the one hand, this allows these children to get used to this kind of life with their feet off the ground from an early age, and hone their good riding skills.
They are accustomed to riding sheep, and when they grow up, they can better ride donkeys.
Become a real donkey rider.
It's really amazing to get used to this kind of thing, especially the habit developed since childhood.
Just like Han Cheng himself.
Using a hoe to dig the ground, using a load to carry water, carrying cow dung to the vegetable garden, using a sickle to cut the grass, using a wooden fork to pick up the wheat stalls, etc., these things are all done in the three years to the sixth year of primary school.
learned.
After I entered junior high school, I didn’t do it very often, and later on, I basically didn’t have the chance to do it.
But even after so many years, these skills have not faded. After coming to this era, he still feels very comfortable doing these things.
Therefore, if the children of the tribe can be accustomed to riding sheep from an early age, then when they grow up, riding donkeys will not become unfamiliar to them.
Education should start from childhood, and the same goes for things like practicing riding skills.
On the other hand, following Lao Sheep and others in herding at this time can help them experience the hardships of life and at the same time cultivate their herding skills, which can be said to be a success.
The children following Han Cheng were very excited looking at the sheep in the sheepfold.
Children's nature is to have fun, and riding a sheep is obviously a very fun thing.
In the past, they had to do it secretly if they wanted to ride sheep. The adults in the tribe generally would not let them come over to bully these animals that could grow up to kill meat.
But things were different now. The most noble son of God in the tribe personally allowed them to ride sheep. How could this make them unhappy?
Now I can ride as fast as I can without worrying about anyone stopping me.
When Han Cheng, the Son of God, spoke, Lao Yang and others would naturally not object.
But today I need to bring more food to eat at noon.
Even though these children are not very big yet, their little bellies are very capable of holding food.
"Take care of them and don't let them be in danger."
Han Cheng explained to Lao Yang and other sheep herders.
Of course, the dangers he was referring to were things like encountering wild beasts and falling into deep valleys.
As for ordinary bumps and falls, etc., they don’t matter at all. Children in the primitive era were all very thick-skinned. It’s not as painful as a small wound on your hand that would heal on its own without going to the hospital quickly.
, and then posted on Weibo to seek comfort.
"It's okay, Son of God, we will take good care of them."
Lao Yang said with a smile.
Most people like children when they get old, and Lao Yang also likes to get along with these children in the tribe, and feels that it is very comfortable to be with them.
Sometimes he is a bit naughty, but most of the time he is quite lovable.
After bringing some food for the minors to eat at noon, the old sheep opened the fence gate of the sheepfold and let the sheep out.
These sheep have long been domesticated and have become accustomed to this kind of life, so as soon as the old sheep and others opened the door of the sheepfold, these guys came out, with two sharp-looking heads on their heads.
Under the leadership of the ram with the horns, he consciously walked outside.
This ram is obviously the leader of the flock.
Different from the other sheep, this first sheep has a rope tied around its neck, and a stick tied horizontally hangs underneath the rope.
The stick is not thick, about the thickness of a baby's arm, and not long, about forty centimeters long, hanging down to the knees of the sheep's two front legs.
This is called a sheep trip in Han Cheng's hometown. With this stick hanging here, you don't have to worry about the sheep running very fast, and it will be much easier to herd the sheep.
Generally speaking, as long as the leading sheep is controlled, the rest of the sheep will be obedient.
One of the older children selected by Han Cheng, a minor, shouted excitedly and ran over when he saw the sheep coming out.
I pulled a sheep nearby and climbed up.
However, sheep are not so easy to ride. The sheep pulled by the child immediately started to struggle vigorously, and in a few seconds, the little two-legged beast who tried to ride it was thrown to the ground.
What children are least afraid of is falling, especially children in primitive times.
After being thrown to the ground by a sheep and falling down, crying is completely out of the question.
The little guy quickly got up from the ground, then ran towards the sheep that had just thrown him off. After catching up, he pulled him and continued to climb on the sheep's back.
Being led by this guy, the other little guys couldn't help it anymore. They cheered and ran towards the sheep that had not yet come out of the sheepfold.
As for the child being thrown off the sheep's back just now, they simply ignored it.
To them, these are really nothing. Who doesn’t stumble a few times a day?
This group of children was so enthusiastic that the sheep were frightened and ducked to one side, causing a small-scale chaos among the sheep.
However, this kind of chaos will not affect the entire flock. With the old sheep, herders like them, and the dogs who have learned to herd, it is not a problem.
After a period of time, when these sheep get used to being ridden by people and get used to the presence of these children, such chaos will not happen.
Han Cheng followed Lao Yang and the others out of the courtyard gate with the sheep, and stood here watching them drive the sheep away from the tribe.
Under Han Cheng's watchful eyes, several children had successfully climbed onto the sheep's backs while walking from the inside to the outside of the courtyard.
Han Cheng looked at this scene and smiled unconsciously.
"Dad, ride the sheep."
Xiao Wandou, who came out with Han Cheng, looked at the group of children riding on the sheep and following the sheep away, and said with envy.
"You are still young. Wait for another year for your children to grow taller before you ride the sheep."
Han Cheng smiled and rubbed his silly son's head and said with a smile.
Then he lay down on the ground not far away and rolled lazily. The cute giant panda smiled and said: "Go ride Tuan Tuan. Riding Tuan Tuan will make you more powerful and domineering."
As a result, the carefree and cute Tuantuan who rolled around there suffered a disaster and suffered the disaster of a fish in a pond.
Seeing this guy being pushed and pushed hard by Xiao Wandou for a while before he reluctantly stood up from the ground, and then carrying Xiao Wandou and looking at him with an innocent face, Han Cheng suddenly realized that his conscience
It actually hurts a little.
Sure enough, being cute is the way to go, and everything else must be put aside.
However, the riding skills of this boy in my family should not be too bad in the future. After all, this boy wanted to ride the so-called iron-eating beast when he was still not very stable in walking. This really started from his childhood.
of……
Above the wilderness, there would be the sound of whips cracking the air from time to time.
This is the warning given by shepherds like the Old Sheep to these sheep.
Of course, sometimes this kind of warning can also become a kind of guidance.
For example, right now, these sheep are following the old sheep who are constantly cracking their whips.
After leading the sheep to a place with good grass, Lao Yang and others relaxed their supervision of the sheep and allowed them to graze here.
Only when some sheep run too far and show signs of wanting to escape the herd will they crack their whips.
If the sound of the whip can't wake up the lost sheep, some of them will bend down to pick up a stone, or something like earth, and throw it away from the sheep.
.
Because they often herd sheep, these sheep herders were almost the strongest in the tribe at throwing stones with their bare hands, and they were basically able to throw stones accurately.
His accuracy is no less accurate than that of later generations of teachers who throw away their chalk heads.
Generally, these sheep will basically jump on the spot if they are thrown a stone, and then quickly turn around and run towards the sheep.
However, unlike the tranquility of the past, today's sheep seemed a little uneasy, especially those rams with horns on their heads.
In the past, they only had the privilege of riding ewes, but today everything seems different.
A group of small two-legged beasts were mixed into the sheep herd, and they wanted to climb on their backs when they had nothing to do. This was really unacceptable to the sheep.
But they don't have many ways to deal with these little two-legged beasts...
Most of the children are immature and do things freshly. In the first few days, they are very interested in following the old sheep and the others to play in the vast world and riding on the backs of sheep. However,
After several days of similar days, I felt a little bored and didn't want to go.
Wu became very angry after knowing what these children were thinking. He took a cane and prepared to teach these little guys a lesson so that they would remember it for a long time.
Unlike some parents in later generations who doted on their children without limit, the witch who also loved children was really unambiguous when it came time to take action.
It's the same as him using a stick to knock his favorite rabbits to death one by one, then skin them and eat the meat.
Han Cheng told Wu in detail about his ideas about the donkey cavalry and how to train these children.
Although Wu didn't quite understand the meaning of the donkey cavalry, he felt that it was very good after hearing the words from Han Cheng, the Son of God.
Therefore, I was very angry when I saw these children no longer wanted to ride the sheep after riding them for a few days.
This is something of great significance to the tribe. The Son of God has entrusted it to you. How can you succeed if you don't handle it well?
Seeing the witch who was always kind and kind-hearted on weekdays, these children were immediately frightened. Two of them were timid and even the younger ones started to cry.
These children in the tribe are all very fierce when playing, with a wildness unique to this era, but they are really afraid of the adults in the tribe.
Especially the giants in the tribe such as Han Cheng, Wu, and Senior Brother.
Han Cheng saw this situation, but did not stop the witch's behavior. He also suffered from broomsticks when he was a child. He knew that sometimes children really need a beating to loosen their skin.
Many times, this is much more useful than simple preaching. Simple preaching will not grow on the body, but broomsticks can be actually picked up on the body, which can make people remember it longer.
Of course, this method must also have corresponding supporting measures, and it cannot be stunned, and it cannot be beaten too often, fainted, and beaten again and again, as long time will have the opposite effect.
Don't ask Han Cheng why he understands these things so clearly and is able to say one thing after another. It hurts to talk too much.
So, after Wu beat each of these children with two canes, Han Cheng appeared here at the right time.
"Do you know why you were beaten?"
Han Cheng knelt down and looked at them, asking as pleasantly as possible.
"I know, I know, we don't want to go riding sheep..."
A child replied with a sob.
As people who have been exposed to Mandarin since childhood, these children's Mandarin level is very high. After all, it is their mother tongue for them.
Han Cheng shook his head and reached out to wipe away the tears on his face.
"That's right, but there's something wrong with it."
"Why are you being asked to ride a sheep? This is not just for fun, but because once you become proficient in riding a sheep, you will be able to ride a donkey better in time, and even be able to ride a running donkey.
We wield weapons, draw bows and arrows, attack those enemies who dare to invade our tribe, and defend our tribe.
Do you want to become a big hero in the tribe? Do you want to take up arms and defend our tribe when someone comes to invade our tribe?"
After Han Cheng talked for a while, he looked at the children who had just been beaten and looked aggrieved or frightened, and raised his voice to ask questions.
This means that children should not be beaten unconscious, that is, after children are beaten, they should understand why they were beaten and what they did wrong.
Only in this way can the desired effect be achieved.
After all, beating people is not the purpose, but making them understand the truth is.
When Han Cheng said this, the children who had just been beaten immediately became energetic.
Over the years, Han Cheng's conscious education on loving the tribe has been very successful. After Han Cheng associated sheep riding with defending the tribe and becoming the tribe's great hero, the children who were beaten immediately became dissatisfied.
Got up the same.
"think!"
"think!"
These children spoke out one after another, with some determination and longing.
Adults still worship heroes, let alone these children who are at an age where they like to fantasize.
"Very good! You are awesome! But just thinking is not enough. You also need to have skills. Without the original person, how can you defend the tribe and become a great hero?"
After Han Cheng affirmed these children, he then made heuristic inquiries.
When asked by Han Cheng, the children fell into thinking one by one and felt that what the Son of God said made sense.
"Then do you know now why the witch beats you?"
Han Cheng asked again.
"Yes, it's because we didn't learn our skills well."
"It's because by riding sheep, you can make a big contribution to the tribe in time..."
Listening to these children's childish answers, Han Cheng showed a cheerful smile, and the witch beside him opened his mouth, which was missing many teeth, and laughed.
At the same time, some enlightenment also arises in my heart.
From what Shenzi had done just now, he felt like he had learned something else.
"Study hard in the future, learn skills well and become a useful person to the tribe. If you don't study hard, I will fight!"
Wu put away his smile and said to these children, and slammed the walking stick in his hand on the ground, looking very intimidating.
Of course, for children, these alone are not enough. In addition to mental encouragement and the threat of a cane, there also need to be tangible rewards.
The best way is to add carrots and sticks.
"You have been studying hard for a while. After twenty days, I will check your results.
But time will hold a small competition for you to see who of you can ride the sheep better.
The top three riders with the best rides will be rewarded, and the bottom three will be punished."
Han Cheng said to them with a smile, and casually transferred the exams and rankings for later generations, made slight changes, and announced them to these children.
Examination, ranking according to the results of the examination, and rewards and punishments according to the ranking. This is a very good system.
After today's operation, the children in the tribe who were selected by Han Cheng to be trained as real donkey cavalry no longer said they did not want to ride sheep.
On the contrary, in the time to come, when they went out to herd sheep with Lao Yang, they rode the sheep very seriously.
Becoming a hero in the tribe and defending the tribe are lofty goals. Achieving good results in the top three and receiving rewards is the direction of recent efforts. However, compared to these two, not becoming the last three and accepting punishment will have an impact on these children.
maximum.
After all, children are also very concerned about face, and no one who is good will want to be compared with others.
After learning about the status of these children from Lao Yang and others, Han Cheng and Wu both seemed very happy.
The following days suddenly became leisurely for Han Cheng. The most important thing Han Cheng did was stay in the tribe and be a nanny.
Holding the little girl in hand, he took his son around the tribe.
I have been wandering around the tribe for a while, and I will go out of the tribe and wander in the fields around the tribe.
Sometimes, they would also catch some grasshoppers for Xiao Wandou and the others to feed the chickens and ducks.
When you encounter the big ones, leave them alone, remove their wings, take out some internal organs from the pile, pickle them with salt, wrap them in eggs, fry them in a frying pan, take them out and bite them.
One bite, the taste is incredible.
Crunchy, chicken flavor.
Xiao Wandou, Xiao Xing'er, and other minors in the tribe were all excited when they saw those lively and jumping grasshoppers.
I am even reluctant to use them to feed chickens...
