Chapter 236 Ma Wen returns and Ma An conspires
Wang Wei came out of the cell, and Xia Dao and Leader Ma were waiting outside.
"Has the horse leader finished training the horse?"
The horse leader said: "Yes, Your Majesty, those three horses are as honest as me now."
What does this mean? What does it mean?
Sure enough, Xia Dao next to him said:
"Your Majesty, Chief Ma said that after coming to the Xia Tribe, he realized how powerful and wealthy the Xia Tribe is, and he wants to join the Xia Tribe."
"That's great. Leader Ma has a very good sense." Wang Wei agreed on the spot.
The Ma Tribe joining the Xia Tribe had long been in Wang Wei's plan, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon, but it was the Ma leader who proposed it first.
He asked Chief Ma why he joined the Xia tribe?
Leader Ma means that in his area, the Ma tribe is small and insecure, and will be bullied by the big tribes. Just like the last time they came to attack Wang Wei's team, the leader of the big tribe only talked, and these small tribes
It would be easy to win if we can win the battle, but the key is that several small tribes will suffer heavy losses in the end.
Because Chief Ma mentioned a large tribe, Wang Wei asked him about the situation of that large tribe.
Chief Ma said that the big tribe was called the Baima Tribe. Before he came to the Xia Tribe, the Baima Tribe was still a big tribe. But after he came to the Xia Tribe, he found that the Baima Tribe was very small compared to the Xia Tribe.
Wang Wei couldn't guess the population of the White Horse tribe, so he left it alone for the time being.
Leader Ma actually had plans after he came to the Xia tribe. Except for being imprisoned twice, the Xia tribe left a deep impression on him. He wanted to join the Xia tribe and move to the Xia tribe.
Wang Wei's plan is not to move the Horse Tribe to the Xia Tribe. Wang Wei wants to build a horse farm there and obtain food on the way.
"Chief Ma, I am very happy that you have joined the Xia Tribe, but you still have to stay there. Don't worry about safety. I will build a new Xia Tribe stronghold there and send people to manage it, and the Xia Tribe's hunting team will be there regularly.
go."
Then Wang Wei told Leader Ma his arrangements:
He renamed the horse tribe Muma Village.
The construction of Muma Village in the early stage is very important. Send a hunting group to be responsible for the management there, and bring some experienced people from the Xia tribe to do the infrastructure construction.
The people sent there renovated the cave where they currently live, and also built wooden fences outside the cave to expand the scope of the tribe, build houses, stables, etc., and make it a transfer station for the Xia tribe to the Blackstone tribe.
After the infrastructure construction was completed, a team of people stayed behind in Muma Village to trade supplies with the local tribes.
The Xia tribe can't just rely on other tribes to trade as agents, but can also build its own trading network.
Every few days, a hunting group of the Xia tribe rides to the Muma village to deliver information, transport supplies, etc. The horses are fast and can be easily made back and forth once a day. This can also train the Xia tribe's warriors on horseback riding proficiency and build a strong foundation for the Xia tribe in the future.
A refined cavalry force.
After the Xia tribe's new city is built, the women and children from Muma Village can also come to live in the Xia tribe, which will also dispel Chief Ma's worries.
Finally, the horse leader was renamed Ma Wen, which was named by Wang Wei based on the official name of Bi Ma Wen in Journey to the West.
Ma Wen is mainly responsible for raising, collecting and training horses in Muma Village, assisting the people sent by Wang Wei to trade and manage Muma Village.
Ma Wen immediately expressed his willingness to completely obey the arrangements of the Xia tribe king.
Then Wang Wei has to choose someone to take charge of the management of Mumazhai, who should he choose?
I can't think of it at the moment, but considering that the Xia tribe first arrived there, the establishment of Muma Village should also show the strength of the Xia tribe. It can't appear too weak, otherwise it will be bullied by other tribes, so it can only choose people from the hunting group.
After arranging Ma Wen, Wang Wei still had to go to the carpentry group of the Xia tribe because he wanted to make something important.
The carpentry group is now studying the mortise and tenon structure of houses and furniture, which they have just come into contact with and need to continue to learn and test.
It is mainly used to build the courtyard planned by Wang Wei. The new city wall of the Xia tribe is about to be completed. The courtyard planned by Wang Wei has two floors, and the upper floor is a wooden structure.
The carpentry group is full of young people, and they are extremely interested in the ingenious combination of more and less wood parts, high and low, long and short in the mortise and tenon structure.
Wang Wei liked their research. Starting from making a stool, he took them in.
After arriving at the carpentry group, Wang Wei told him that one of his tasks was to make a saddle. This time it was not a simple saddle.
Xia Huo from the carpentry group recommended and promoted a young man named Mu Mu to Wang Wei.
This young man was recommended to be the deputy leader of the carpentry group. It seems that his carpentry skills are good.
Wang Wei agreed on the spot and handed over the task of making new saddles to the deputy team leader Mu Mu.
Make a saddle first, and then make others after testing it.
But considering the complexity of the saddle, Wang Wei also stayed and made it with them.
In fact, making a saddle is a hard work. The saddle made this time is better than the simple version made before.
Wang Wei only relied on his vague memories of watching characters riding horses in period TV and riding horses at the racecourse, and made a clay model of the general appearance of the saddle.
First, make the saddle of the saddle. The simplest way is to use a tree trunk with a relatively large diameter and grind it directly according to the size of the horse's back. This will save a lot of steps.
The key point is that the arc under the saddle is where the horse's backbone comes into contact. It must be cut and polished to match the horse's backbone, so as not to damage the horse's back. The front and rear of the saddle plate are divided into upper beam heads and lower beam heads.
The upper beam head is about 13 cm, and the lower beam head is about 10 cm. The place where the middle person sits is polished and smooth. In the future, fur can also be pasted to increase the comfort of riding.
There are too many text descriptions, which affects the reading experience. Subsequent similar construction will be simplified.
After making the first saddle, Wang Wei took it to test. After choosing several horses, he found one that fit the horse's spine perfectly.
Wang Wei got on the horse skillfully and galloped around the wilderness outside the Xia tribe at a very fast speed. The horse was rising and falling, just like flying in the clouds and riding the mist. The horse was whipping, and the wind was whistling in his ears.
It's so cool.
After returning to the Xia tribe, let the wood be made as it is, and subsequent improvements will have to wait until they become proficient.
After returning from the Blackstone Tribe, Wang Wei did not allow anyone to ride a horse. This was because a real saddle had not yet been made and to protect the horse from injury.
Now that he finally made a decent one, Hu Meizi, who had known the news, hurried over.
Ever since she learned to ride a horse and felt the ultimate joy while galloping on a horse, she has become addicted and always wants to ride a horse.
Seeing Wang Wei stop, he urged Wang Wei to get off his horse quickly.
"I knew you would be like this. I only have one saddle now. The carpentry team can make a few more before riding."
Hu Meizi refused, so she grabbed the horse's reins and whip in Wang Wei's hand. She smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, you don't have to come down, I'll hold you and ride."
If there weren't so many people inside and outside the tribe watching, Wang Wei would really want to ride with her. But he still had to pay attention to the impact, so he had to get off the horse.
Hu Meizi stepped on the stirrups and turned over on the horse, clamping her legs tightly on the horse's back. Her posture and skill were really cool, and then she controlled the horse and rushed out of the tribe.
Maybe Hu Meizi was born to ride a horse, and Wang Wei felt inferior.
Outside the gate of the Xia tribe, Xia Yi returned.
There was a stranger who came back with him. The stranger was tied with a rope, his nostrils were bleeding, and the leather jacket on his chest was dyed red.
Wang Wei interrogated the newly captured Ma tribe man in the cell again.
This Ma tribe man cooperated and told him everything he knew.
The leader of the Ma tribe was close to a woman named Hui. The woman Hui instructed the leader of the Ma tribe to send a woman to the Xia tribe to find out information. The woman Hui was indeed from the Pan tribe, and she and the leader of the Pan tribe were conspiring against the Xia tribe.
After knowing the whole story, Wang Wei felt at ease.
Put the woman in a cell with the person she was in contact with, and wait until the Pan Tribe is dealt with before being released.
Xia Yi suggested that these two people be treated as slaves and sent to labor reform.
