I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 27 Population Doubling
The blacksmiths are a father and son, whose surname is Qi. The father's name is Qi Dashan, and the son's name is Qi Xiaoshan. People here call them the old blacksmith and the young blacksmith respectively.

Huang Yi realized the importance of blacksmiths to a tribe, so he didn't intend to ask Hedan Bateer for someone, but just took out a crossbow bolt as a sample and asked the old blacksmith to follow the gourd.

After seeing it, the old blacksmith stated that it is completely possible to make a general shape, but it is absolutely impossible to make it exactly the same.

This is not a problem, there are enough blanks. Originally, Huang Yi wanted to do it himself, carefully repair it with a file, and slowly grind it with a whetstone, so as to minimize the error as much as possible.

Huang Yi asked him to make it as quickly as possible.

The old blacksmith knew how to read words and expressions, and he saw that Huang Yi was a master, so he hurriedly agreed, saying that as long as he brought iron and steel materials, he would start the furnace immediately.

Forehead!How can there be steel in Huang Yi's hand?

But he didn't think the blacksmith's house would be without a speck of steel.

Huang Yi did not use force to coerce, but sat down and had a good talk with the old blacksmith, and finally agreed to exchange ten sheep, one piece of coarse cloth, and two catties of salt for ten steel crossbow arrows.

No matter how much he wanted, the old blacksmith couldn't help him, because he told Huang Yi that there was only a little refined iron in his house, which might only be enough to make ten crossbow arrows.

Originally, Huang Yi wanted to make a miniature gun, but he had no choice but to give up without the raw materials!
The Minigun also does not belong to this era, it should be a product after 200 years.

But Huang Yi knows how to do it!
It's not that Huang Yi is extremely smart, but because Huang Yi knows the principle of the miniature bullet, and the exploded diagram of the matchlock gun and the disassembled video of the flintlock gun are saved in his mobile phone.

I believe that as long as the blacksmith can make the blanks of the parts, Huang Yi can use a file to correct and assemble a Minigun, but it will take a lot of time and may scrap a lot of barrels.

The Minigun is actually the pinnacle of front-loading gunpowder guns, with an effective range of more than 800 meters. It is actually a front-loading flintlock rifled gunpowder gun. What is different is the design of the Minigun.

It's a pity that it was born at an untimely time. Not long after the Minigun was born, it was eliminated by the more convenient and practical breech-loading Dresser rifle.

Huang Yi believes that it should not be too difficult to make one or two miniguns by himself with the participation of a blacksmith. There is a structural diagram of the flintlock in his mobile phone!
In fact, it is not difficult to make a rear-loaded Dresser rifle, and this kind of exploded view is also saved in the mobile phone.

It's just that the firing of the Dreiser rifle requires the use of mercury fulminate primer. This thing is not black powder, but a chemical product, and it can't be fiddled with for a while.

well!No matter what kind of gun you make, even if it is a red-tasseled gun, you have to use steel.

Huang Yi is in urgent need of steel, but it is a pity that this item is scarce on the prairie, not only expensive but also in small quantity.

For the time being, there is no good way to do it, so I can only tell Huang Dazhi and Huang Dayong to collect all iron objects they see in the future.

In fact, this is completely nonsense. The grassland clans all regard iron things as treasures, and it is impossible to throw them away, even if it is a rusty iron nail.

The victory over the Bayaner tribe was Hedan Bateer's biggest victory after he became the chief of the tribe, which more than doubled the tribe's population, food, supplies, cattle, sheep and horses.

It is impossible for the loot to be taken by anyone, and of course it must be distributed according to the size of the credit.

Ever since, Huang Yi not only divided five Han servants and a silver ingot of 25 taels.

He also got three sets of leather armor, one cotton armor, ten oxen, three horses, and three hundred sheep,
Three yurts, two cauldrons, ten pieces of coarse cloth, two bags of miscellaneous grain flour, etc. were added, and six other Mongolian families became members. How should I say it?

The relationship between them and Huang Yi should be equivalent to the owner and tenant of the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Yi is their manager.

There were 11 males in these six Mongolian families, all of whom were surrendered Bayan Er tribes. Huang Yi guessed that he should be a small leader equivalent to a ten-man chief.

This time, none of the knights asked to exchange their servants for Huang Yi's leather armor.

This is of course because a lot was seized, and the knights all have leather armor points.

Kaletu and Geerlen not only got leather armor, but also a pair of iron armor.

A total of four iron armors were captured in this battle. The original owners were the leader of the tribe, Bayaner, and his two sons.

Iron armor is very precious, Bayaner has two sets, he would rather have one set idle than give it to the warriors under his command.

It can be seen how much failure should be in being a person and doing things.

Hedan Battelle is completely different. He not only is not afraid of death and charges at the forefront, but also has the spirit of sharing weal and woe with his subordinates.

It is also because of this character that his tribe has been able to persist.

This battle is won!Not only did Huang Yi get the spoils and population, but all the warriors who followed Hedanbaatar's night attack were rewarded for their meritorious deeds. It should be that a small half of them became ten commanders.

A total of more than forty young and middle-aged men died in the battle on both sides, and dozens of old and young women and children died in the melee in the Bayaner tribe.

The population has decreased by about one hundred, and there is not much loss of supplies. Not only is there more food, but the soldiers under the former Hedan Battelle also have two layers of armor.

It can be seen that if you don't have enough to eat, you have to fight!As expected, the poorer you are, the more you fight.

The principle of fairness is very important!
This time, the division of spoils should be regarded as basically fair!
Including Hedan Battelle, there are five fighters who have iron armor plus leather armor or iron armor plus cotton armor.

Of course, these five people included Geerlen and Kaletu. They were undoubtedly the most skilled and bravest.

With the armored equipment, Kaletu and the other five knights will not lose the wind if they fight against Jiannu Zhengbing.

In fact, Jiannu is not good at cavalry, they are more suitable for infantry combat.

Hedan Battelle gave the strongest warriors the best equipment not only to improve their combat effectiveness, but also to make other knights more brave, and everyone strived to obtain the iron armor.

Next, Huang Yi made another suggestion. He suggested that Hedan Battelle should continue to work hard and must grow himself when the morale is high and the gods are blessing.

There is no need for Huang Yi to talk nonsense about how to grow himself. Hedan Battelle, who felt that the gods were possessed, immediately dispatched Gerlen and Kaletu to lead a dozen knights to search for the nearest tribe.

If you find a big tribe, you will of course avoid it, but if you find a small tribe, then I'm sorry.

Huang Yi, who was not dispatched, used all his time to practice horseback riding and get acquainted with his own Mongolian family and a few Han people.

Among the five Han people, three men and two women, only one named Ma Wu was about the same age as Huang Dazhi.

The two women, one whose husband's family name is Tian, ​​are about the same age as Zhang's, and the other is an unmarried man named Li who is in his early twenties. Both of them are sallow and thin, but they are hardworking people.

The older man's surname was Liu, and his name was Liu Shifu, and Huang Yi called him Old Liu.

Lao Liu is a good hand at serving animals and driving carts. According to him, he is also an expert in farming. He also knows how to deliver babies with large animals and how to domesticate cattle.

He used to be a slave of Bayaner, and he has been a slave for six years.

He also brought a big dog with him. This dog did not belong to him. It was the hunting dog of the original owner Bayaner, and he kept it all the time.

When the Bayaner tribe was attacked at night, Lao Liu hugged the dog desperately to prevent it from jumping out and biting people, which was equivalent to saving a dog's life.

After Huang Yi learned of Liu Shifu's specialties, he asked him to choose a few of his own dozen or so cows to try to domesticate, and the cows that could be domesticated would not be traded in the future.

Another man named Jiang Yugui was about 30 years old and stronger than Lao Liu. He used to be a military household in Liaodong, and his whole family was slaughtered by Jiannu and Tartars.

He was not caught and sold to the prairie by Jiannu, but he escaped to the prairie and was captured by the Mongolian tribe as a slave.
