194. Rejection
The matter was decided so, the old village chief wrote a few letters and sent them to these poor villages. There was no need to guess too much. The villages agreed immediately because they were already on the verge of destruction and some people were willing to take them in. They were desperate, so how could they be picky, and even more impossible, and refuse casually. So three days later, the villagers of these villages left their own villages, like them, Xiaohe Village, and migrated. For a week, the people in these villages came to Xiaohe Village. Then the village chief specially divided them a small territory for them to live nearby.
Because these villagers are new, they cannot be integrated with the local villagers for the time being. Whether they are foreign villagers or the villagers of Xiaohe Village, they all keep a certain guard against each other. After all, no one knows who is, and they don’t know what kind of character the other party is. Moreover, some wars often break out between human races. Old hatreds add up, resulting in people not trusting each other very much. In addition, some food distribution issues and men’s problems are also involved. After all, foreigners are all women, which leads to the women of Xiaohe Village instinctively becoming vigilant, worried that their men will be seduced by the other party, so both sides always maintain a close relationship.
The village chief is not too involved in such a thing. Xiao Chen also thinks that it is better to use time to slowly eliminate the barriers between the people in this case. Otherwise, the tough demands on the two sides will probably cause many unnecessary disputes. Therefore, it is like being in a state of storm for the time being, which is just to ensure that these villagers have enough food to eat and not starve to death. These villagers also take on their own responsibility and take on the responsibility of the village. They start working, collecting items, etc. in exchange for the food they need...
Xiao Chen’s request is that since the other party has joined our village, both parties must maintain a principle of fairness and justice in many distributions in the village, neither lie to her nor be too xenophobic, in short, treat them like their own villagers. The benefits of doing this can also prevent conflicts between villagers.
In addition to these villagers who have surrendered to Xiaohe Village, there are many larger villages that can be self-sufficient and have their own perfect village system, so they will not easily join Xiaohe Village. For such a village, Xiao Chen never thought of combining them. This is to hope that it can help Xiaohe Village help herself, collect more raw materials, and then she will increase the output of muskets and make more muskets.
Ah, those villages got the benefits of food and tasted the sweetness. They knew that this was a very profitable thing and benefited both sides. They provided raw materials in exchange for enough food. On the other side of Xiaoshan, using food to obtain the raw materials he needed was a very good thing, so they did not reject it. Even the whole village was dispatched to collect various raw materials that Xiao Chen asked for. In this way, as time went by, Xiao Chen had more and more materials, and many materials that could not be picked in Xiaohe Village, or very rare materials, but in other villages, they were sparse and ordinary, countless. In this way, Xiao Chen's materials could be obtained more and better, and the efficiency of musket making was getting higher and higher.
A month later, the raw materials in Xiao Chen's hand were enough to produce 100 muskets. He rushed to make them overnight and made all the cargo boxes. At the same time, the musket ammunition was also provided by a village to help the muskets, gunpowders, ammunition, and bullets. Xiao Chen arranged for people to manage muskets, gunpowders, ammunition, and bullets. They were safely stored by Xiao Chen in a secret place to prevent them from being stolen. At the same time, he also arranged enough personnel to strictly monitor the place. Once there was a problem, he would send people to rescue them as soon as possible.
Now almost every soldier in Xiaohe Village has a musket, and after professional training, their design skills have been improved exponentially. Many people have become sharpshooters, and they don’t have to worry about insufficient ammunition.
The only thing that bothered Xiao Chen now was that they did not have enough manpower, and all the strong men in the entire village were only sixty or seventy. If some were added, men over 40 years old, or even 50 to 60 years old could be organized, barely enough to 100 people. But for school students, these people were too few and not enough. His goal was to organize a team of thousands of muskets, so that they could effectively kill the enemy's attacks. The number of 100 people was too small. If the number of enemies was too large, a charge of 30,000 people would be submerged in an instant, and there would be no spark at all.
How to solve the problem of insufficient manpower? This problem made Xiao Chen very troubled. After all, the population cannot grow in a short period of time, because human growth and development require time and self-cultivation is impossible. Only when a new group of warriors grow up in twenty or thirty years later can he have enough combat power, because the army of orcs and half-orcs may be coming in a few months, and there is not much time for them to rest and recuperate.
Xiao Chen thought about it and decided to start from the people outside the village, walk into the village, train them into soldiers, so that they can expand their personnel and the strength of the army. So how should they do it? Other villages cannot release their own status, and people in spring cannot betray their own village at will, which is equivalent to forgetting their roots, being despised by others, and even the gods will not let them go, so they dare not do so casually.
Just when Xiao Chen was worried, the people from Daqing Village suddenly came out to contact the people from Xiaohe Village and ordered Xiao Chen and the old village chief to be a little surprised. Logically speaking, Daqing Village is the most powerful question in the human tribe. They looked down on Xiaohe Village at all. Not to mention alliances, they had never even visited and walked around each other. They could be said to be isolated from the world.??
Now, the people from Daqing Village actually came to drink with the people from Xiaohe Village to meet. This incident was indeed itchy, and the people from Xiaohe Village were surprised.
The old village chief, the old witch doctor, Xiao Chen and Shi Tou, four people welcomed him. The envoy from Daqing Village was also an old man. It is said that it was Daqing Village and Huangdi's family affection, which surprised Xiao Chen a little, because in his impression, Daqing Village was still in the primitive tribal society, and they actually appeared directly as the land king. These two people were very surprised. Honestly, after paying homage to the old village chief, he respectfully presented him with the gift from Daqing Village, the village chief, that is, Huangdi of Daqing Village. It was a pair of beautiful jade, green, crystal clear, and looked very beautiful.
Dear Xiaohe Village, this is a gift from our Emperor. This time he sent me to visit you, mainly because of Xianghe Gui Village, and formed an alliance.
Xiao Chen and Chen were surprised by the words of this teacher. They didn't know why Daqing Village took the initiative to form an alliance with them? According to the previous impression, Daqing Village was disdainful to form an alliance with a small village like them. Why did it take the initiative to form an alliance with them today? This matter is very strange.
Everyone looked at each other, and the old grandson took the lead in asking this question. Dear Daqingcun Shitou, may I ask, why do you want to form an alliance with us, Xiaohe Village? In my memory, you Daqingcun have never formed an alliance with any human tribe, so I am very curious.
The old messenger smiled and said, "I know you have questions in your heart, but I can tell you with certainty that there is absolutely no conspiracy in this matter. We sincerely want to make arrangements and form an alliance. As long as you agree, in the future, our Daqing Village and your Xiaohe Village will be friendly friends for generations. We will all be together, develop together and make progress together. If we encounter problems and dangers in the future, we can face them together."
The teacher said it lightly, but the old village chief and others were even more suspicious. The old witch doctor looked at Ahua Ye next to him. Ahua understood it and said, "This noble envoy from Daqing Village, as for why your village wants to form an alliance with us, we still expressed doubts in our hearts. Moreover, you did not tell us the truth. If you want to form an alliance with us, it is best to make the words clearer, otherwise we will never agree. After saying that, Ahua looked at the old village chief next to him. The old village chief did not speak, but just nodded with a stern face, meaning that what Ahua said was what he meant.
The teacher in Daqing Village frowned immediately. In his impression, they were one of them, such a big village, condescending to small villages like Xiaohe Village, which was simply their honor. They should be grateful and excited. They were too late to express their refusal. Now they just raised their rejection. This was something he could not imagine and accept. His face suddenly darkened and he said angrily, "I think you have made something wrong. Our Daqing Village took the initiative to come over to talk to you, but you put on a high-ranking attitude. I want to know, do you really have sincerity and sincerity, and form an alliance with us? I don't think you want to go with me at all. Do you do this at all. Please consider it carefully."
Moreover, I also heard that Lord Kobe has disappeared, and his four generals fell apart. Orcs and half-orcs are ready to join forces to rule the entire forest of death. What about you? He just rejected the invitation to form an alliance by the Elf King, and now he has rejected the request to form an alliance in Daqing Village. I really don’t know what your Xiaohe Village wants to do? Are you fighting against the army of orcs and half-orcs? Her face was so small that just with the four or five hundred people in your village, any orc squadron can crush your village. What capital do you have for pride?
The teacher's words really made Xiao Hu Village's four-person cooperative appear, but it also proves from the side that Daqing Village came over to discuss alliances, but it is actually not sincere. It can even be understood that they have any ulterior motives about this alliance, and they are even more determined. This time, not forming an alliance with Daqing Village is a correct choice.
Xiao Chen said beside him, "The messenger of Daqing Village, I just heard from your words just now that Daqing Village actually doesn't want to form an alliance with us, or you want to use us to do something, so you want to marry me. If this is true, I advise you to go back, because you made the wrong plan. Although our Xiaohe Village is weak, we don't want to become a vassal of others, and we don't want to be a puppet and work harder than others. We rejected the Elf King before because of this reason. Now, you Daqing Village has used the same trick again, so we cannot accept your request.
Since that's the case, I don't want to talk nonsense to you anymore. Daqing Village's birthday was completely broken up. He stood up and prepared to give the gift to the village chief of Xiaohe Village. He also took it back and said proudly, hoping that in what is coming, I didn't remember that your Xiaohe Village can last for a month. I hope you don't run to our village to pray for our help.
His words immediately aroused the disgust of Xiao Chen, the old village chief and others. Ahua stood up and said coldly, "Don't worry, we will never ask you for help. We can handle the matter between us ourselves." We hope that at that time, you will not be beaten by orcs and half-orcs and run around the ground, and will come to ask us for help."
When the village chief of Daqing Village heard Ah Hua's words, he almost laughed out loud. For him, this was almost the most funny thing in the world. Their Daqing Village is tempting, 15757, and is also very powerful, which is thousands of times stronger than this small Xiaohe Village. The other party was bounced and said that they would come to ask for help. Isn't this a big joke?
He sneered coldly, don't worry, we can't come to you, he asked for help, take a look, when the army of orcs and half-orcs attacked, who could hold on until the end? After saying that, the teacher turned around and left, took him to the club, and immediately left Xiaohe Village. Watching them go away, Cultivating Ahua and the old village chief, although they felt relieved, their heartache also cast a shadow. Originally, they wanted to unite the brothers of the human race, but now they see that there are many difficulties. Uneven people's hearts are the biggest obstacle. Everyone has their own ideas and cannot walk together. Perhaps a crisis really needs to make people realize that unity is the last solution.
What should we do next? Then we felt a headache. Now Daqing Village is basically impossible. I have a box with Xiaohe Village. I will not be able to help Xiaohe Village in the future. I will do anything. After thinking about it, he turned to Xiaochen. Xiaochen. You are the smartest. What do you think we should do next?
