In recent years, in addition to enclosing land and water and beating people everywhere, an astonishing move that Gonggong has taken is to further domesticate horses.
Horses, identified based on various unearthed fossils, sites, and documents, were probably domesticated in the late Neolithic Age.
Among them, relatively clear evidence of early domestication of horses can be found at the Potai site in Kazakhstan, where a large number of horse bones, hundreds of thousands of them, tons of horse teeth and horse dung were found, dating from about 3500-3000 BC.
year, belonging to the Copper Age.
There are also similar sites of the same period in the nearby North Kazakh grasslands and hilly areas.
In China, horse bones and the bones of the other five animals were also unearthed from the sites of the Yangshao Culture. Therefore, ancient China had completely domesticated the six animals during the Yangshao period.
When horses were first domesticated, apart from transportation, their remaining role was just like cattle, used to plow the fields.
So, when Yu Zai popularized cattle farming and this influence spread to the entire mountains and seas, the world generally entered the age of cattle farming, and tribes without cattle would find some substitutes.
Like a strange beast, a donkey, or a horse, or something like a lamb.
In the past, when Yan Zai chatted with Chishui Nvxian online and taught Chishui Nvxian how to be a methane bomber, the people of the Qusou clan rode some domesticated horses, but in this era, because there were no stirrups,
Because of the saddle, riding a horse requires a high level of driving.
Otherwise, you will be like Concubine, who will suffer from vomiting and diarrhea after riding a horse and will be half dead.
These horses that have been domesticated again by Gonggong have a more docile character and better endurance than their previous generation. However, they seem to have less explosive power because they do not do long-distance training.
Moreover, this time Gonggong worked hard in the Western Wilderness and unexpectedly invented the horse's bridle and bit.
In this way, a leap in combat level has been achieved. Human riders no longer need to have overly strong control power. In other words, originally the rider must be a first-rate knight, but now a second-rate knight can also go into battle.
This is equivalent to a self-driving vehicle having a steering wheel and adding manual driving and braking functions.
As a result, Gonggong became more and more adept at plundering the surrounding tribes. Those horse riders came and went like the wind and moved around freely. Although they could not capture the big cities and mountains, they had become useful to the tribes living in the valleys or near the mountains.
Their nightmare.
Gonggong relied on the plundered wealth and slaves to start building water conservancy projects. Many people in the tribe could not understand it. However, Gonggong said that the big shots in the Central Plains had said that his engineering facilities were empty talk and were not effective, and they would not approve funding.
, now we withdraw from the alliance and work alone. If we succeed, then we will be a great person whose name will be remembered forever. If we fail, we will drown those old dogs in the Central Plains.
No matter what happens, we will not lose, everything is according to plan!
The ministers of Gonggong spoke:
"But I heard that Tai Ti has been appointed as the flood control Sikong in the Central Plains."
Gonggong laughed and didn't take it seriously: "Tai Ni! What an old guy can do now?"
“And Chong Bo Gun’s son seems to have changed a lot. His flood control methods have been widely praised in the Central Plains. How many years have passed.”
“Hmph! Can a little kid compare with me?”
Gonggong pointed to the river and a large area of water conservancy surrounding it, and proudly said to his ministers: "The only person I can regard as an opponent is the people from the south. His water control measures have inspired me a lot. Now
The person I am today is no longer the person I used to be. I have absorbed his ideas on water management and have become stronger than before!"
"Although I said that if I miss the big spectacle I built this time, I will drown the people from the Central Plains, I have made a decision in my heart that I will not miss it this time!"
"Look at the shining stars in the sky and the afterglow that has not yet set. It is our ancestors who are watching us!"
Gonggong gave a speech and was so moved that his ministers wiped their sweat. Then he talked about his son.
“I heard that Xiu is now captured by Zhongyuan”
"Huh! I haven't cared about him for so many years. What does life and death have to do with me?"
Gonggong doesn't care about Xiu's life or death. He just wants to build a big wonder of water control. He relies on the plundered population and tribes to accumulate strength crazily and becomes a king here. He is bound to build a big wonder and complete slaves.
A huge dynasty.
“Let me think about it, if I become the co-owner of the world, then according to the past saying, I should take Gonggong as the name of this era. From now on, please call me Emperor Kongren or Emperor Gonggong.”
“Big Chief, I heard that the Central Plains issued a message saying that no one is allowed to call himself ‘Emperor’ in the future.”
“You use the laws of the previous dynasty to suppress the emperor of this dynasty?”
Gonggong snorted, and then began to discuss the recent construction of some infrastructure with his ministers.
After the spread of various tool systems in the South, in the past ten years, larger tribes have been undergoing restructuring, fully absorbing some of the institutional technologies spread in the South, and transforming them into their own "characteristic society"
Construction of water conservancy has become the first priority for each large tribe, so construction skills must be improved, followed by agricultural technology. For example, the Dihong family wants to develop metallurgical technology, while the Gonggong tribe focuses on building cities and cavalry.
New technologies have taken root and sprouted all over the mountains and seas, and bloomed with gorgeous flowers in these mountains and fields. In the past ten years, because agricultural production has been driven to an extremely high level, even if it has experienced some major turmoil
With the war, the population recovery rate was far faster than in previous decades.
Gonggong has determined the target to attack next!
“We have conquered the Inufeng Kingdom, the Mushan Kingdom, and the Shushi Kingdom are our allies, and the Bai Kingdom of Daze Changshan is willing to become our slave.”
“King Changhu from the north still wants to form an alliance with us, is he worthy? I just heard that he paid tribute to the Central Plains!”
“Next, attack the Republic of Xianmin. After the Republic of China is conquered, if Chishui woman Xian wants to stop her, we will attack her. If she dare not step out of Zunye Ze, then we will attack Wominguo!”
"Wo Republic of China"
Gonggong’s ministers were startled, but Gonggong looked at him and nodded:
"Yes, the Womin Kingdom is a vassal state of the Xiwangmu clan. Attacking the Womin Kingdom is equivalent to starting a war with the Xiwangmu clan. But so what, the Xiwangmu people dare not come down to fight. I have become allies with the three tribes of Kunlun!"
Gonggong said that as long as the population will grow in a few years, plus the plundered slaves and the cavalry troops that continue to be domesticated and trained, there is no need to be afraid of the Queen Mother of the West!
New living habits and new production methods, as well as sufficient food compared to the population of this era, ensure the survival rate of newborns. The population of the tribe is increasing rapidly. In just ten years,
There will be explosive growth.
Therefore, among the mountains and seas, the tribes in some places are not offering sacrifices to the agricultural masters of the Central Plains such as "Houji" and "Taixi", but to a certain person whose name has not been revealed too much, but whose belief has been widely spread.
god of the south
In a certain tribe, you can see some wooden sculptures. On the left is the Dayu God Tablet set up to pray for floods to go away, while on the right is the Southern God Tablet set up to pray for a good harvest.
