Chapter 149 After the War
The battle between Chang He and Mu Yuan ended in a way that was beyond everyone's expectations.
As the news gradually spread, the surrounding tribes, large and small, finally realized the strength of the Changhe tribe clearly for the first time, accompanied by deep fear and jealousy towards the Changhe tribe. Confident Wu Quan and Wu Nuo did not expect that the Changhe Tribe could completely defeat the Muyuan Tribe so quickly and with such little damage.
As for Bai's post-war compensation plan, Wu Quan was overwhelmed when he heard it, and his eyes sparkled. At this moment, he felt that he could finally hand over the tribe to Bai with confidence.
As the prisoners of war in Muyuan were escorted back to the tribe for guard, those who gathered around the Changhe tribe and tried to sway their ideas immediately fled after hearing the news. However, it was a pity that they were one step too late.
After the battle with Muyuan, Bai arranged the follow-up matters and flew back to the tribe directly. With his speed, he had already returned to the tribe when the messenger was still on the way.
As soon as he went there, he immediately mobilized the troops left behind in the tribe, and caught those guys who were besieging but not attacking and trying to get a share of the Muyuan tribe's buttocks. Hundreds of orcs were taken as prisoners of war, and most of those who escaped died. If it wasn't for Changhe's serious shortage of manpower now, and Bai didn't kill him fiercely, otherwise the number of casualties would be far more than that.
Because he didn't fight directly with the opposing tribe, Bai was very generous and didn't ask them for war indemnity, but the amount of money to redeem the prisoners was the same as that of the Muyuan tribe.
Most of these people who came to guard the Changhe Tribe had deep or shallow ties to the Muyuan Tribe. There is no doubt that even if Bai hadn't dealt with them harshly, these people would make the Muyuan Tribe's situation worse if they went back.
Soon, everything was developing as planned by Bai.
The news of the Muyuan tribe's defeat and indemnity spread quickly. Among the fighters under Bai, he was good at arithmetic. He has always been very interested in trading. After Wu Nuo taught the youngsters arithmetic, he worked hard Learn from lion cubs. Due to his interest, he learns numbers and arithmetic much faster than he learns other Chinese characters. In addition, he has participated in several tribal gatherings and is one of the tribal business leaders. He has a certain foundation. He can basically do arithmetic. To infer other cases from one instance. Not to mention in the army, even in the entire tribe, he was ranked first in terms of strength, more than a little bit stronger than Bai Damiao.
The war indemnity calculated by Li is exactly the same as that calculated by Wu Nuobi. As for Bai Damiao—do you know how important the total number is?(╯▽╰)╭After Bai returned to the tribe, Li brought nine other carefully selected orc warriors , escorted two orc prisoners of war who had a certain status in the Muyuan tribe, and went to the Muyuan tribe with arrogance.
Although the vitality of the Muyuan tribe was seriously injured in this battle, they still have the fighting power of killing Li and other mere ten people.
But they dare not.
Because they still have hundreds of prisoners of war in the Changhe tribe, among them is the leader's favorite son and most promising heir, the lion.
They dared to wait for a hair, and Bai dared to chop off the heads of nearly a thousand orc prisoners of war and send them to the Muyuan tribe.
No one dared to motivate them.
Seeing the enemy swaggeringly sitting on their own territory, they not only couldn't and dared not do anything, but also tried their best to entertain them. It's hard to mention the aggrieved energy of the top leaders of the Muyuan tribe.
What makes them aggrieved is the demand for post-war reparations.
The head of Muyuan and the big witch are not so good at arithmetic, even the leader who is eager to save his son heard that he can redeem his son as long as he pays a little compensation for cattle, sheep and slaves. Before the big witch can talk to others, he agrees directly claims for compensation.
Li didn't expect the leader of Muyuan to agree to the compensation so easily. The biggest purpose of the trip has been achieved. In order to prevent the people in Muyuan from recovering and causing incidents, after the leader of Muyuan agreed to the compensation request, Li took people away and returned to the tribe as soon as possible. Annunciation.
After Li left, the people in Muyuan barely figured it out, and Changhe proposed an astronomical figure that they couldn't even afford to pay for all the livestock and slaves. At this time, it was too late to bargain with the Changhe Tribe, not to mention that their leader had already agreed, even if they were forced to leave, they would have disappeared long ago.
Only then did they realize that they had been fooled by Bai, and it was too late.
The more cruel fact is that this battle has seriously damaged their vitality, while the Changhe Tribe has only scratched the surface. Not to mention that they don't have the courage to fight Changhe again, even if they have the courage, they can't gather so much manpower.
No matter how stupid they are, they will not fight a losing battle.
If Bai didn't mention the compensation, maybe the Muyuan Tribe would fight to the death and fight Changhe again, but once the compensation was paid, it was like cutting flesh with a soft knife. Although the heartache was endless, it finally gave them the illusion of a chance of survival.
Of course, the indemnity and ransom that Bai asked for was too huge, and the Muyuan tribe couldn't afford that much for a while, so they had no choice but to send people to negotiate with the Changhe tribe, trying to bargain.
After a few rounds of bargaining, the Muyuan Tribe failed to cut a penny, but at last, Bai reluctantly agreed that they could redeem some prisoners of war after paying 1/3 of the war indemnity first.
As for the remaining part of the compensation, they will repay part of the Changhe Tribe every year in 5 years.
Of course, with Wu Xiaonuo, a small profiteer, it is necessary to popularize the concept of interest to the primitive natives.
The compensation plus interest, in the next five years, the Muyuan Tribe needs to pay Changhe a full 100,000 coins every year, and the collection time is set at the annual tribal gathering.
The distance between the Changhe Tribe and the Muyuan Tribe was not close, and in addition to the cold winter season, the speed of communication was extremely slow. After several rounds of back and forth bargaining, by the time the final compensation plan was finalized, half of the cold winter had passed.
Resources are scarce in the cold winter, and one-third of the indemnity is as much as 210,000, not counting the huge amount of ransom for prisoners of war. What to eat in the cold winter, coupled with the cold weather and the long distance, transporting so many things, not to mention the people in Muyuan are worried, even the Changhe side is also worried.
After discussions between the two parties, the time for the payment of compensation and ransom was set in the spring after the end of the cold winter.
All the prisoners of war were temporarily detained in the Changhe Tribe.
In order to prevent these prisoners of war from escaping and causing trouble, they were scattered and imprisoned in dozens of temporary prisons built with ice in the tribe. These prisons are scattered around the tribe, and there are special personnel patrolling and guarding them every day. At the same time, they are provided with two meals a day and some medical treatment for a fee.
The so-called paid means that these prisoners of war need to pay 1 yuan for food every day, plus additional meals, and money for medical treatment and medical treatment. These expenses will be included in the ransom in the future.
If the prisoners of war were worried and anxious at the beginning, after staying in the Changhe Tribe for a period of time, even if they didn't say it, they had to admit in their hearts that staying here was indeed not too bad.
Even for some orc prisoners from small and medium tribes, staying in the Long River Tribe is much better than staying at home.
Although I slept in a prison made of ice, it was not too cold to be roasted in a brazier. As long as I was willing to spend money, I could buy animal skins. I had one meal each morning and evening. Although there was nothing meaty, the white sweet potato was definitely full. If you are injured or sick, you can find priests to treat them as long as you spend money, instead of waiting there to die.
With the guidance of witch power, and the various herbal medicine information obtained by Wu Nuo through the system, the priests of the Changhe Tribe have improved their medical skills by more than a little bit compared to before.
Not to mention the orcs of the small and medium tribes, even the orcs of the Muyuan tribe wanted to live in the Changhe tribe.
Of course, despite this, the loyalty of the orc warriors to their respective tribes is still very high. In a short period of time, these prisoners of war have not voluntarily defected from their original tribes to join Changhe, but it will be hard to say after a long time.
After the war, the Changhe tribe didn't just sit idle like in previous years.
The water route was opened up, and the tribe still needed a large number of ships to support the blood salt trade. After the warriors returned to the tribe, Bai took these people into the black forest every three days, felled giant trees and dragged them back to the tribe to make canoes.
Everyone gathered firewood with great enthusiasm. Bai relied on his special ability to build the boat very fast, but the tribe joined hands to dig the canoe together. The speed of digging the canoe was not slow. The war slaves who had a long voyage experience boldly put forward some suggestions for improvement. The newly built giant canoe looks smoother than the original ones and has a larger internal space.
The dexterous females sew huge animal skin sails with twine.
Even prisoners of war can voluntarily receive some tools to help make oars. After the finished oars are handed over to special personnel for inspection, they can receive a certain amount of coins, which they can exchange for some meat, or they can be recorded in the account to offset their own ransom in the future.
At the beginning, only a few prisoners of war were willing to work. Soon, other prisoners of war saw that these people had really exchanged for meat, so they became enthusiastic. After a while, except for a few orcs who maintained their identities, most of the other prisoners of war were willing to work. join in.
It is not only the adults who are busy, but the cubs are also very busy.
No matter in which era, exams are definitely one of the biggest killers for students.
Constrained by the actual conditions, Wu Nuo had no way to arrange a unified exam for the boys. He could only arrange one to two hours after class every day, and let the boys take turns to stay for the exam.
