193 , Xiao Chen's Plan
It is precisely because of this reason that the human tribes have not. There are situations of competing for territory and population with each other. Because there are too many people, it is proven that there are too many mouths to eat. In the forest of food shortage of death, such things are very troublesome. Those big villages have many people. In order to support these people who eat, they have racked their brains and tried every means to maintain them. If other villages are defeated and their population is plundered, then these people will also think that these villages need to eat. They are not worthy of it, and they cannot starve them to death. So, I will just do it all the time. I will neither fight other people and introduce them to the village. Don’t come to provoke me in the village, so that they will form their own independent village system.
Speaking of this, the old witch doctor also interrupted, Xiao Chen, if you really bring all the human tribes together, then how do you solve their problems? Our food can only be given to the people in the village for two more days, and you can't watch it, everyone starves to death.
Of course it won't be gone, Xiao Chen shook his head and said. I will find a way to solve the problem of food. The forests in the dead are vast and abundant. I don't believe that it can't support our army of tens of thousands of humans, orcs, orcs, and hundreds of thousands, or even millions. How did they survive? Since the orcs can survive, we humans should have no problem.
Ahua said next to him, I think what Xiao Chen said makes sense. Now we are different from the past. In the past, we did not have advanced weapons and were not used to refusing. We rely entirely on the people in our village. A few hunters went out to hunt, and the food they got back was very small, so naturally they were not enough for the people in the village to eat, and it was easy to suffer casualties.
But now it is different. With muskets and giantfoots, I believe hunting will be easier. The two elders still remember that we pulled the musket team out a while ago, doing practical training, and then shot hundreds of long-tailed rats back? In the future, our personnel will grow stronger and more weapons will increase. At that time, we can shoot more and more prey back. Not to mention feeding, there are hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people. I don’t think the problem is big.
Ahua's words made the old village chief and the old witch doctor feel in their hearts. This is indeed the case. A while ago, didn't they just go out for practical training and fought a lot of wild game? What they eat now is the meat of a long-tailed rat.
Thinking of this, the old village chief nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I agree with your idea. I've already put my bones in my old ways. Many things cannot be as energetic as you young people. But I can help you do something within my ability. If you have any needs, just tell me. The old witch doctor and I will do our best to help you."
The old village chief actually had some meaning of nourishing the stomach, but Xiao Chen and Ahua didn't hear it. They looked at the old village chief gratefully and said, "I'll trouble the teacher." We do have some problems now, and we need the help of the old village chief and the old witch doctor to solve it."
The old village chief nodded and said, "I know what you want me to do. Should I help you unite with other tribes? Don't worry, I will meet with their village chiefs and negotiate with them, and strive to join them all in our alliance."
Around Xiaohe Village, there are seven or eight small villages with a population of about two or three hundred. If these villages can all gather together, they will be thousands of people. The human alliance in Xiaohe Village will become stronger, and then once again, negotiate and form an alliance with other larger human villages. In this way of snowballing, it will grow bigger and bigger. Finally, I hope to unite all human tribes together to form an independent human alliance army.
However, Xiao Chen also knew in his heart that such a thing was unlikely to be completed, because people's hearts were unpredictable, not everyone would have the same heart as you, and he could only hope. Such an alliance could be maintained until after driving away the orcs and the orc army, the crisis would be completely lifted. He did not expect that people could not be united forever. After all, in his world, human wars have never stopped.
The four people's negotiation lasted for several hours. When it was already dark outside, the negotiation ended. Then, Ahua and Xiao Chen claimed the old village chief and Wu Yi to death, and returned to their room to rest. There were only two people left in the room, the old village chief and the old witch doctor.
The old village chief asked someone to bring wine and food, and then sat with the old witch doctor, drinking and chatting.
"Do you think Xiao Chen's plan will be successful? The old village chief and the old witch doctor had a cup and asked slowly.
The old witch doctor drank all the wine in the glass and said with confidence, I believe he will succeed because he is not an ordinary person.
The old witch doctor's judgment was correct. Xiao Chen was indeed not an ordinary person. He quickly made a plan, that is, through negotiations with the old village chief, forming an alliance with some friendly villages around him, and then increasing the number of people and expanding the scope of mining, he could get more raw materials and let him make muskets.
However, Shi Tou is absolutely true. Xiao Chen sent the musket to the people in other villages. With a cautious attitude, he believed that muskets were an important weapon for Xiaohe Village to survive. If this weapon fell into the hands of others, it might cause certain danger to the people in Xiaohe Village. Xiao Chen also thought about it carefully. He felt that Shi Tou's analysis was still reasonable. So he decided not to distribute muskets to the human races of other tribes for the time being.
But in this way, people from other villages may not be willing to help. People from Xiaohe Village come to pick ore. No one is willing to do anything without profit. Xiao Chen also considered this and decided to exchange substances for raw materials. This method can not only stimulate the mining enthusiasm of other tribes, but also bring her a lot of raw materials to make muskets.
Anyway, Xiao Chen's small village now has no shortage of food, he can be self-sufficient, and there is still a lot of surplus. He can use these surplus food to exchange with other tribes. Both sides are win-win, and this is the best choice.
Soon, all parties took action. The old village chief had already made an appointment with more than a dozen small village chiefs around him to negotiate, saying that it was a fucking one, but in fact it was just a dozen old men and women sitting together, eating, drinking and chatting. Everyone had a big chat, and finally talked about the alliance cooperation. There was no suspense. The dozen old people hit it off and agreed to form an alliance. In this way, the power of Xiaohe Village expanded some of the alliance villages together, and there were only less than 1,000 people.
Not only that, the villages are scattered in different places, and it is not convenient to connect with each other. It may take a day for the other party to know that the efficiency is too slow. However, Xiao Chen is not capable of making all the villages together now. In that case, the other party will definitely disagree, because this is suspected of being annexed.
The old village chief also knew what Xiao Chen was thinking. He said to Xiao Chen, the situation is quite special now, don’t be too hasty first. When everyone’s affairs are handled well, let the village chiefs of these villages let go of their guards. Then, we can slowly convince them and let them move to live with our village.
Xiao Chen nodded. He knew that the old village chief was right. Now he was delaying himself, to establish good relations with these villages and let them know that forming an alliance with Xiaohe Village would be more beneficial than disadvantages. He would be willing to form an alliance with villains, and in the end he would not even want to separate from Xiaohe Village. This was the best way he thought.
So, Ahua and Shi Tou took their hunting team out to hunt. They had received a notice from the old village chief, knowing that they would hunt more prey and give them to other tribes for the gifts they used to form alliances.
So the team members were very active and enthusiastic. This time, they specially selected a gathering place for long-tail rats. Many long-tail rats appeared here. After Yang Mi's plan, they made complete preparations. Then, under the leadership of Ahua and Shi Tou, they encircled and suppressed these long-tail rats. The battle was still very smooth. Although there was a problem with the ammunition of the team members in the later stage, some people shot all the bullets in this beast, but they still did not completely sing a song to eliminate them. However, even if they defeated the long-tail rats, congratulations, no one received the damage process, although it was thrilling, but it was very safe.
After the battle, Ahua Stone led the team members to clean the battlefield. This time the harvest was even more than the last harvest. The smoke ban reached nearly 500 long-tailed rats, which was an unprecedented harvest.
Afterwards, everyone analyzed the reason. The first one was that the number of long-tailed rats they chose to encircle and suppress was more than last time. This time it should be a large middle school, and the last time it was just a small population. Therefore, because the base of long-tailed rats is large, the number of flies they killed is also very large.
The second thing is that the team members have much more combat experience than before. They are more proficient in using muskets. Because of these skills, they are more skilled when they attack these long-tailed rats again. Moreover, after training, their marksmanship is extremely accurate. They can often shoot the head with one shot, so their efficiency has been greatly improved. If they bring medicine, they can still achieve such a record without much sufficient amount of money.
After a brief rest, the soldiers processed the corpses of the long-tailed rats one by one, and then took them back to the village. This time, the triumphant return shocked the villagers in the village again. Everyone saw that the piles of corpses were all excited and danced with joy. Some girls in the village danced around piles of food.
Later, the old village chief and the old witch doctor rewarded the team members who participated in the event. The beauty gave another finger to the long-tail rat he deserved. Even so, there were still more than 300 long-tail rat corpses left. 150 left in the village, and the remaining 150 were selected. Ahua and Xiao Chen distributed them to other allied villages. At the same time, they should not reach an agreement with them to exchange the raw materials they wanted.
Ahua and Xiao Chen took 10 team members, riding the giantfoot, carrying 154 long-tail rat meat. Now, several villages set out one by one. Some villages saw that they actually brought so much food, and the colorful giantfoot under their feet were stunned and could not believe their eyes. Because the human race had never tamed such a huge monster, this surprised them very much. In addition, Xiao Chen and others, the long-tail rat meat distributed to them also surprised them. On average, more than a dozen villages, each village can probably be divided. The number of long-tail rats is not large, but for these very poor villages, it is already a very good pair of very delicious. They may not even eat a finger of long-tail rats. In some villages, there are more women and fewer men, and male soldiers die in wars and hunting. Therefore, the villages are very hard, and some people cannot even eat enough.
Now, Xiao Chen has brought them 10 long-tailed rats. For them, this is a timely help. Many villagers are moved to tears. They have not eaten meat food for a long time. Their people are all skinny and malnourished. At first glance, they live a very difficult life.
Xiao Chen looked at these villages and recorded them all. After returning to the village, Xiao Chen directly found the old village chief and discussed with her. Xiao Chen said, "We have observed that these villages have a very bad situation, and their living conditions are particularly difficult. Some people are not full, and even their children are about to starve to death. I think, old village chief, you should have a good talk with them for such a village and invite her to join our village. In this way, we can provide them with enough food to make them live a better life."
The old village chief was silent for a moment and said to Xiao Chen, "I have known about the villages you are talking about. Their men died and fled. There were almost no men. Many of them were women. Women were not very useful to us. There were enough women in our village. Why do we still need to recruit these women in? I am worried that they will become a burden to our Xiaohe Village."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "Old Village Chief, I think your idea is wrong about this. Women can give birth. Without the existence of women, it is easier to destroy. Moreover, we cannot just look at the present. You must know that as it exists and grows, more offspring will definitely be needed. So, these women will provide our village with a steady stream of newborns and fresh blood. Besides, the population of these villages is not as good as 100 people. For us, there is no problem at all. I can only play cross-tailed rats and raise them for a day's food.
