Chapter 250
“南~~”
This time the dark horse was forcibly interrupted, and he neighed and turned his head and ran away again. Because the movement was too fast and the force was too strong, Xu Chen was almost pulled off from the back of the pony.
"Driving~"
Feeling the power and speed of the dark horse, Xu Chen did not dare to be careless and quickly urged the horse to follow, and then the two horses ran back and forth on the river beach.
Xu Chen took the opportunity to tighten the ropes. After running four or five laps, the dark horse was finally unable to breathe and his movements became slower and slower.
Mo Ye, who was hanging under the horse's neck, took the opportunity to clamp his legs on the horse's neck, and his whole body was hanging under the horse's neck like a lob.
Under heavy pressure and burden, the dark horse's strength became weaker and weaker. After running again for half a lap, it stopped completely. Finally, the oxygen was insufficient and his legs were bent forward and he knelt on the ground.
Xu Chen quickly jumped off the horse, rushed up and loosened the rope cover, and at the same time he shouted to put the reins on again.
“Huh Huh Huh Huh~~”
Mo lie on the ground and looked up at the sky and gasped. His pants were worn out with several big holes, and he looked very embarrassed.
The dark horse was even more uncomfortable. He half-kneeled on the ground and sprayed white foam on the corner of his mouth, and he sniffled for a long time before he stood up.
But this time it did not struggle at all. Instead, it lowered its head and ate a few bites of the grass, looking completely admitting its defeat.
Xu Chen let out a long sigh.
Mo's forced riding this time just now seems not intense, but it is actually extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, it was successful.
This dark horse is the leader of the younger generation among a group of wild horses. It should be four or five years old, which is the strongest time. However, because of too little experience, it underestimated the wisdom of human beings, and this time it completely fell into the hands of human beings.
“南~~”
The little horse came up, gently arched the dark horse a few times, and then lowered its head to eat grass together.
It can be seen that Xiaoma is very happy that she has so many companions, and at the same time she feels the feeling of the elder brother admitting to the gambling and accepting defeat, so she goes forward to comfort her.
After resting for a few minutes, Mo turned over and got up from the ground and climbed onto the back of the dark horse again. Although the dark horse was still shaking and neighing for a while, it was far less anxious than before, and soon calmed down.
"Yeah~~~"
Looking at Mo sitting steadily on the back of the dark horse, waving around with pride, the crowd burst into cheers.
This also further stimulated several other hunters to step forward and approach the remaining horses.
Xu Chen asked Mo to lead the dark horse to the side first, and then try to tame several other wild horses out of the free place.
Half a day passed quickly.
The hunters involved in the horse training were both successful and failed, and some were even injured, but the final result made Xu Chen and all the hunters very happy. This forced domestication was very successful. Under the strong encirclement and pressure of hundreds of people, five horses of all sizes were finally tamed and accepted the forced riding of humans.
It just happened to be a long journey to the Gonghuo Clan tomorrow, and a group of hunters were clamoring to bring five horses with them.
Although Xu Chen was a little worried, he finally agreed.
As long as you take care of yourself on the road and do not allow you to escape, after more than ten days of back and forth, these horses should have been completely adapted to human riding. Even if you can't ride, you can help carry things.
Therefore, after returning home, Xu Chen urgently arranged to make simple saddles and stirrups, and also found two pack baskets that he had made for the horse.
In the evening, after dinner, a group of women nervously packed up the items and dry food they had to bring the next day. Xu Chen took a group of hunters to the river beach to load a few wild horses with saddles or rattan baskets, and continued to train the packers and goods.
...
"Woo~Woo~Woo~~~"
A long team set out in the mist facing the dawn.
Birds sing and the mountains are bright and colorful.
The clear and lush river tiles and blue sky, a rare mid-spring scenery
Three flags fluttered in the warm spring breeze, and gradually moved farther along the river beach with the sound of the horns.
Among the team, there are several tall horses that are particularly eye-catching.
In addition to the two fully armed groups of hunters, there are also a group of young women in white dresses.
One of the girls was wearing an exquisite long dress embroidered with patterns, and a blue cloak was covered with a golden scepter in his hand. He rode on a pony's back. His delicate figure gently rolled as he walked, and the cloak of the cloak fluttered in the wind, looking like a divine beauty.
Xu Chen led the pony slowly, talking and laughing with the people around him.
At the front, a strong man with a burly figure in double armor and a bow and arrow was riding on a dark horse, smiling like a fool.
The other few horses were also riding on people, but they looked cautious and looked a bit vulgar.
It was the first time that everyone was riding a horse seriously, which was far less relaxed than Xu Chen’s usual riding.
Walking on the horse's back, grinning constantly.
It turns out that riding a horse is not as fun as I thought.
It’s really fast to run fast, and it’s not a problem to rush. It just hurts the balls a little and has a sense of fragmentation.
This time I set out for the Gonghuo Clan to complete the second agreement reached with the Gonghuo Clan Great Wizard and hold a grand inheritance ceremony to make the Gonghuo Clan Alliance fully recognize and accept the leadership of the Ba tribe.
This matter is very important for ruling the Gonghuo Clan Alliance.
Only after this matter is completed can the Gonghuo Clan completely surrender.
Only then could Xu Chen successfully reach out to this large unfamiliar area, start to cultivate his own power, and finally completely take the basin where the Gonghuo Clan is located for himself.
According to his plan, the first town of his Dachen Empire will appear in the Gonghuo Basin, which is best completed within two years. Of course, it may be longer. These depend on the degree of obedience of the Gonghuo Clan Alliance and the speed of farming promotion.
Of course, the biggest obstacle is the shortage of population.
According to the exchange with the Great Witch of the Gonghuo Clan, there are ten tribes of all sizes in the Gonghuo Clan Alliance. It takes five days to reach the Gonghuo Clan. This range is more than twice as large as the Ukrainian Alliance. The population of the entire alliance should be about two thousand, which is almost twice that of the Six Clan Alliance.
Add to the Six-Grand Alliance, the total population is only 3,000
Even if all the populations of the two alliance tribes are migrated together, the population size of one small town is only the size of the population.
This is the largest population he can control now.
What's more, after the Great Witch inheritance ceremony ended, it is still unknown whether all tribes of the Gonghuo Clan Alliance would accept the leadership of the Ba clan witch. Maybe those tribes that were too far away simply left the alliance and went to other Great Witches.
This is a very realistic question.
But no matter what, Xu Chen was still a little satisfied with the progress in front of him.
Few people are an objective reality.
After all, this is still the ancient Stone Age of prehistoric civilizations.
From the time when I first traveled through time, there were only fifty people in the Ba tribe to the present 3,000 people, the strength has increased by 60 times in two years, and it is time to be satisfied.
It is estimated that the total number of primitive humans on the entire earth should be only a few million, while the maximum number of hundreds of thousands in China is at most. This number is probably similar to that of tigers, and even the number of wild wolves is even greater than that of humans.
Because in this era of vast and sparsely populated areas, the scope of human life is very narrow, and there are far more wild animals than humans. As long as you go out, you can see wild wolf traces everywhere. In some even rarer mountains and forests, beasts such as wolf, bear, tiger, and leopard are all clustered.
In other words, even if Xu Chen tried his best to conquer the entire territory of China, he would at most become a primitive empire that controlled hundreds of thousands of people.
And this is impossible.
Because the area you can control is proportional to the population, only the more people can control the larger territory.
From the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Qin and Han dynasties for more than a thousand years, the population grew from millions to tens of millions. China finally included the southern Yunnan and Guizhou area into its territory.
From beginning to end, the scope of activities of the Chinese in the pre-Qin period was always limited to the Yellow River Basin. The Yangtze River Basin was not developed until the middle and late Han Dynasty, and truly flourished during the Tang and Song Dynasties. The Pearl River Basin was not truly developed until the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
In other words, Xu Chen will never be able to build a powerful territory that is as powerful as the Han and Tang Empires in his life.
Therefore, his ambition was not great, that was, to try to expand into the plains in the lower reaches of the river, and finally find a place similar to the Guanzhong Plain or the Chengdu Plain, and establish a small country with a population of tens of thousands to complete the upgrading of human civilization.
As for a further plan, he wouldn't have it.
After all, he was just a geological survey, and being thrown into this primitive and wild place to guide the development of the savages was not his expertise.
He even looked forward to finding traces of alien civilizations.
Because he always believed that the Earth civilization first originated from alien civilizations, otherwise how should Sanxingdui and the pyramid be explained?
Even geologists have a large number of unexplainable situations about the remnants of many ancient civilizations on Earth.
In addition, a large number of ancient Chinese mythological stories also indicate that there are existences on the prehistoric earth that transcend human civilization, otherwise how should the strange books such as Shanhaijing be explained?
The content inside has completely exceeded the human understanding of the earth at that time, and even the mountains, rivers and landforms described in it may be the situation before the flood.
In short, Xu Chen is now full of contradictions and passion.
Traveling through this wilderness period of prehistoric civilization, although life was painful, it was full of expectations and impulses that could uncover the mystery of prehistoric human civilization.
