Chapter 256

People from Xiaohe tribe go to gaoshu tribe voluntarily. There is no mandatory requirement. You have to go to gaoshu tribe. You can go if you want, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to stay.

Based on this voluntary principle, Xiaohe tribe finally decided to go to gaoshu tribe. There were more than 240 people, all women and children, including more than 50 children. The remaining 180 people were all young women. As for the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, none of them, even if they did, volunteered to stay in the Xiaohe tribe.

The people of Xiaohe tribe are not fools. They naturally know what the purpose of gaoshu tribe's helping hand is, the population of Xiaohe tribe!

If it was in the past, the river tribe could not care. But now, the Xiaohe tribe is half disabled, and the surplus materials in the tribe can't support so many people.

Although these people can also go back to their former tribes, the former tribes will not accept them. After all, seclusion is also a betrayal in the perception of the chekasa.

One of the most important reasons is that the chekasa people are being beaten down by the Arkansas and Missouri people, and the Yuchi people are also ready to move. Even if these women and children return to their former tribes, the final result may not be much better.

Now the gaoshu tribe has stretched out an olive branch. Although the gaoshu tribe is a Cherokee, it doesn't matter what Cherokee or chekasa people they live in seclusion. It doesn't matter where you want them to go except the Yuchi people.

Moreover, the gaoshu tribe is far away from the front line of the war, where the people live a rich life. When these women and children go there, they will surely have a better life than the Xiaohe tribe.

These women and children are people who lost their men and relatives in the last war. Although these women and children can support themselves, where can we go to gaoshu tribe?

Therefore, under the persuasion of Dashan and kashasha, the 240 women and children finally chose to take the four armed transport ships to gaoshu tribe.

In this way, the Xiaohe tribe has less than 350 people left.

Among the 350, there are about 100 soldiers who can fight. Most of the remaining 200 are women and children. Well, they are their families. These women and children will not go to the gaoshu tribe. They will guard their families.

In addition, there are more than 50 old, weak, sick and disabled people who were injured in the last war and need to be well cared for for for a period of time.

Even if 60% of the people of Xiaohe tribe died in the last war, and then more than 200 people went to gaoshu tribe, the number of the remaining people is about the same as the population of gaoshu tribe.

This is the advantage of a large population.

Gao Niu is now also the soldier Qu Kui of gaoshu tribe, so this time he came with him.

When they arrived, the four boats were carrying a lot of supplies and weapons, as well as 20 tame bison and 20 elite soldiers of gaoshu tribe. When these soldiers come to the Xiaohe tribe, they will take the role of instructors, teaching Dashan how to use guns.

When Gao Niu led the fleet back, the boat was full of women and children from Xiaohe tribe. These women and children, who have never walked out of this valley in their whole life, will go to the gaoshu tribe and start a better life.

After these women and children were taken away from the boat, the reconstruction of the Xiaohe tribe began.

Of course, all the houses burned down in the last war could not be used, so all the wooden houses needed to be flattened.

Since there are not so many people in the tribe, there is no need to keep these ruins. In the past, the area of Xiaohe tribe was not small. The north and south sides of the tribe were built on the hillsides on both sides. It was for this reason that Yu Chi was able to stand on the hillside and shoot the rocket directly into the Xiaohe tribe, which caused a big fire and killed a large number of people.

Now that we have learned from the past, the reconstruction of Xiaohe tribe can not be done like this.

All the wooden houses in the tribe are concentrated in the center of the valley. The distance between the two sides of the newly planned tribal area and the north and south slopes is more than 200 meters, so even if the enemy attacks again, the wooden houses of the tribe can not be reached by standing on the slopes and shooting rockets.

Moreover, the newly planned tribal addresses are all distributed on the north side of the river. In this way, even if there is a fire, it is better to put out the fire near the river.

Of course, pointing at these is not enough. If Xiaohe tribe wants to avoid being attacked again, the guard posts must be set up.

There has been a guard post at the exit of the valley for a long time, and there are more than one, so there is no need to set a guard post at that location. However, on the mountains on the north and south sides of the tribe and on the road to the east of the tribe, guard posts must also be set up.

If the Xiaohe tribe had set up guard posts on the south side of the mountain for a long time, the last Yuchi people's sneak attack would never have caused such huge casualties.

A small-scale enemy attack is irrelevant to a tribe. Once the number of enemies can reach a certain level, it is almost the rhythm of extermination.

Xiaohe tribe has learned enough about this.

Therefore, guard posts must be set up. This kind of guard post doesn't have much warning effect on small-scale sneak attack team, but it has excellent warning effect on large-scale sneak attack.

These guard posts will be set up at the top of the highest peak around the valley. Once a large-scale enemy appears, the soldiers who are responsible for guarding the peak will immediately blow the horn, and the soldiers and people in the tribe will be warned. Then, according to the number of enemies, we can decide whether to stand or retreat strategically.

That's what sentries do.

Just like today's gaoshu tribe, under the arrangement of the stone bear, seven or eight guard posts have been set up at the commanding heights around the tribe.

The existence of these sentries is enough to minimize the possibility of a large-scale enemy attack. At least, there will be no more cases where the joint forces of the rettiche tribe and the French are all in the city.

Dashan is the most outstanding soldier and hunter of Xiaohe tribe. Naturally, he knows where is the best place to set up guard posts around Xiaohe tribe.

Others began to pull down all the useless houses - the wooden houses that were empty or burned and could not be used could not be taken. After all the houses were pulled down, a barrier without any shelter could be set up.

After that, the Xiaohe tribe would be a frontier fortress, and everything would serve for militarization.

The remaining men of the Xiaohe tribe did these jobs, while the women and children, led by the sacrifice of kasasha, began to reclaim the wasteland around the tribe.

With 20 domesticated bison and new farm tools, the wasteland around the Xiaohe tribe will soon be opened up. Now it's not long before the summer harvest. After the summer harvest is over, more grain will be planted on the newly developed land
